Chapter 8 Back to Shaolin
As the summer vacation approached, the four brothers began to pack their bags and prepare to return to Shaolin Temple. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ Info looks back on more than a year of study and life, from the beginning of the monk robe, to the modern teenager who is sympathetic to cowboys, there are a lot of feelings. In addition to learning a lot of knowledge, my understanding of life and the world has also changed fundamentally. In their spare time, the four brothers earned a lot of money through part-time work, in addition to bringing a lot of gifts to the brothers, they also purchased a lot of advanced equipment, such as tents, mountaineering picks, sapper shovels, Swiss army knives and even GPS positioning systems, etc., Shaolin Temple is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and sometimes it is essential to cross mountains and mountains, and these equipment are much stronger than the traditional equipment of Shaolin Temple.
Packed their bags, and on the first day of the summer vacation, the four brothers returned to the Shaolin Temple, and the brothers and sisters who practiced martial arts together in the past came out to greet them, plus the master and the abbot, so it was not lively. After the greetings, Zifeng couldn't wait to explain his intention to the abbot, the abbot laughed, and found the treasure after going down the mountain for more than a year, but seeing that Zifeng had a serious face, not like a joke, he let the four of them into the back hall. Zifeng ordered Zidian to close the door and take out the "awl" from his backpack. When the abbot looked at it, he immediately smiled at all, his eyes were wide open, and he couldn't speak for a long time.
"Where did you come from?" asked the abbot with a serious expression.
"What's the matter, Abbot, what is this", the four brothers looked at the abbot with innocent faces.
"This is the demon pestle, according to legend, there is a kind of mythical beast called the jade unicorn in ancient times, can descend the demon and eliminate the monster, after the death of the jade unicorn, its bones can still penetrate the evil thing, to its death, this demon pestle is made of the jade unicorn's big toe bone.
The abbot carefully looked at the "look at the color, this is really not a fake, I thought it was just a legend at first, I didn't think there was really this thing, tell the abbot quickly, where did this thing come from, don't tell me I bought it from the stall... βγ
"Abbot, you're naughty again... So Hu Zifeng told the master about the strange things that happened in Luoyang City this year, how to swim and find monsters, how to defeat monsters in dry wells, and how the man in white disappeared and left a demon pestle. This thing is so bizarre that ordinary people don't believe it, but the abbot frowned as if he had something to say, and it seemed to be ominous.
The abbot stroked his beard and said: "There was a prophecy in the Heart Sutra of Pannoparamita, probably saying that in 2012, that is to say, this year, the gate of hell will be opened, evil creatures will invade human beings, suck human souls, and human beings will be extinctγγγγγγ βγ
The four brothers all came down: "Abbot, let's let the League of Legends come to save mankind, Spider-Man will do it alone, I'm afraid we can't... οΌβγ
The old abbot stroked his beard again and shouted: "Be serious, you can't joke, the "Panoporomi Heart Sutra" mentioned that when the demons invade, there will be 5 xenomorphic warriors from the other dimension to save mankind."
"Five. . . It's still other regions.,That's not what we do.γγγ Zidian was excited when he heard this.
"I don't know why it's five, but since this demon pestle is in your hands, you have the responsibility to defend the human race, not to mention that you are Shaolin disciples, and you are compassionate. The abbot said.
Zifeng pondered for a while: "Not only we are responsible, but every human being is responsible, Abbot, tell us the origin of this evil demon and how to deal with it?"
"Ancient books have recorded that all things in the world are divided into two opposite sides, as the so-called heaven and earth, light and dark, good and evil, all living beings, there are all things that do not arise, the so-called evil demons must exist, and the evil demons here can be understood as all bacteria and viruses that endanger the lives of all things. It's just that today's virus is a little bigger, and if you have to explain it from a scientific point of view, it can be understood as a space virus, just like taking medicine to cure a disease, and whether you can defeat the evil demon depends on the resistance of human beings themselves.
The four brothers were confused when they heard this, and Ziyu said: "Let's feel about the evil demon ourselves, anyway, this thing definitely exists, and we will definitely find out the origin in the future, you better talk about how to deal with it." β
"Demons do not belong to our world, just like viruses come from outside the body, so the weapons of the human world, including guns and cannons, are useless to demons, demons are composed of qi, they can evolve themselves by absorbing human energy, make themselves stronger, and only the jade unicorn can deal with the demons, but the jade unicorn has been extinct a long time ago, and later generations found that its bones can also pierce the demons, so they made their toe bones into a demon pestle, its ribs were made into a unicorn sword, and the spine was made into a unicorn whip to prevent evil things, if you want to deal with evil demons, you must find these weapons, but these weapons are scattered all over the world, and the specific location is unknown, you need to consult ancient books and find clues. β
"Abbot, it is estimated that if we can't find these weapons, we will all hang up, Shaolin Temple's kung fu is broad and profound, so there is no other kung fu that can deal with this thing?"
The abbot thought for a while: "Yes, evil demons are composed of qi, and to deal with evil demons, you can use qi to cure qi, that is, to use qi gong to destroy the internal structure of evil demons so as to achieve the purpose of killing evil demons." β
"I have seen and learned the qigong of Shaolin Temple, but it is not as powerful as I imagined," Zilei said.
"That's because the secret of Shaolin Qigong in the last years of the Sui Dynasty, due to the chaos in the world, the catastrophe of Shaolin Temple, unfortunately lost a book, this Shaolin Qigong has three books, the first is the basis of Qi refining, the other two are Qigong moves, if there is no Qigong foundation of the first book, the other two are just ordinary moves even if they are practiced, without much lethality, and it is easy to go crazy, which is the most important one. Therefore, even if Shaolin Temple teaches, it only teaches the second book of qigong, and the folk also spread the second book of qigong, and it is meaningless to practice it or not. If you want to practice qigong well, you have to find the first book, but after hundreds of years, I don't know if this book is still there."
Zifeng's eyes lit up after hearing this, and he remembered that he once went to Baiyun Mountain for a spring outing, and when he came back, he got lost, and was beaten half to death by a big man at the foot of the mountain, and was later saved by an old man. So I told the abbot like this.
The old abbot touched his beard and sighed: "Oh, this is the authentic qigong, if it is true, he must have qigong cheats in his hands, I suggest that you take the time to visit this old man, and the other two manuscripts are also given to you. β
Before leaving, the abbot handed over the demon-descending pestle to Zifeng, and repeatedly told him that this demon-descending pestle is a good thing, and it does not need to be immersed in water for a long time, and there will be a layer of green rust on it, which can cure the evil devil's scratches, and can also be taken internally to treat evil poison. Zifeng already knew the approximate effect, thanked the abbot, and left.
There is also a purpose of this trip, which is to explore his own background, I heard what the man in white said about Atlantis, but this Atlantis Empire is thousands of miles away from Luoyang City, and it is really impossible to contact it, so I can only find the intelligent master who picked up me back then and ask what it is.
After eating fasting in the afternoon, it rained heavily, lightning and thunder, and the four of them came to the door of the Daxiong Treasure Hall and waited for the master to come out after the lecture. This intelligent master is now seventy years old, but he is in good spirits, and he is quite happy to see that the four brothers have grown so big. Walking along the corridor, he talked about the experience of picking them up that year.
"That time, the abbot sent me to Baiyun Mountain to collect medicine, to turn over several mountains, after hardships, four or five days to the south slope of the south side of Baiyun Mountain, after collecting medicine originally planned to go back, but it rained heavily, the rain was heavier than today, the thunder was louder, the lightning was bright like day, I was in a cave to take shelter from the rain, as a result of a mudslide, I saw that the entire south slope collapsed, and in an instant a mountain was gone, I lay at the entrance of the cave and saw a big fireball, which could not be said to be a fireball, because there was no fire, it was a whole glowing ball exposed, rolled down, and then explodedγ After the mudslide, the ground was loose and soft, and it was numb and crispy, as if there was electricity, the ball could not be found, probably buried, I vaguely heard the cry of a child, and I was still thinking, who threw the child here in the barren mountains and mountains, and made evil, I found a baby along the cry, and I saw that it was still moving, covered in mud, and wiped it into the frame, and just wanted to go, and there was a look, and there was a look, so I picked four in a row. I thought that you couldn't live, your mouth and eyes were full of mud, and you would get infected if you washed it, not to mention a small baby, but I didn't expect that after dawn, you were still alive, and you wanted to eat with your little hands open, so I washed some fried noodles with rain water for you to eat, no fever, and the state was not bad. We put you in a frame, wrapped you in my clothes, put herbs around us, and carried you down the mountain with fried noodles, and that's the whole thing. β
After the master finished speaking, no one spoke, as if they were all pondering.
"It's outrageous, isn't it... Ziyu suspected that the master was abnormal.
"I thought that Sun Wukong jumped out of the stone, and the four of us were also in trouble for a long time, so what about the ball, it wouldn't be a dinosaur eggγγγγγγ Zidian smiled.
"The monks don't speak, but I can't remember the details, after all, it's been too long." Smart enough to be very serious.
"Master, can you give me a rough idea of the location, it seems that we need to go and have a look. Zifeng said.
Zhizhi pointed to the mountain path in the north and said: "Follow this path, turn over three mountains, pass through the White Tiger Stream, Horn Ditch, you can see the south slope, but the White Tiger Stream terrain is dangerous, and the Horn Ditch is full of thorns, you should consider carefully." β
"Master, we are eighteen years old, not children, not to mention that the current mountaineering equipment is not what it used to be more than ten years ago, the four of us can take care of each other, you can rest assured. Zifeng said.
Zhizhi sighed and said slowly: "Well, I won't keep you, you four are not ordinary people, it's time to find your own background, I have something here for you, you come with me." After speaking, Zhizhi took everyone to the meditation room.
The bookshelves, cabinets, tables, and chairs in the meditation room are neatly organized, although they are old but very clean, and they are neatly tied, four people sit down, and the wisdom takes out a long cloth bag from a wooden box on the side of the table, and opens it layer by layer, inside is a knife with a scabbard, the workmanship is extremely rough, the wooden scabbard, slightly painted with red paint, and a few big characters are written on the brush, "Qi Tiebao knife", which has been covered with cracks, and the knife handle cannot be called a knife handle, that is, a piece of wood.
Zidian took the knife and took it out to see, this knife is a foot long, said that the length is not long, and it is not short, similar to the Mongolian scimitar, the Mongolian scimitar is wide and even, the width of the knife is uneven, the knife surface is rough, and the blade is not big, the whole knife is alive like a combination of a kitchen knife and a Mongolian scimitar, it is said that such a large piece of iron should be very heavy, but it is as light as plastic, Zidian couldn't help but be happy: "Master, our Shaolin Temple treats this as a treasure?" If it's stainless steel, it's just that, the key is aluminum, it is estimated that you haven't gone down the mountain for many years, I don't know what a good knife is, you look at me. After speaking, Zidian took out a Swiss Army knife from his bag, the Swiss Army knife is made of aluminum alloy, brass rivets, twelve functions, fine workmanship, and it is shiny and shiny after opening, so it is not beautiful. Zidian looked at the master proudly.
Zhizhi smiled slightly, took the Qi Tiebao knife and the Swiss Army knife, and suddenly used one arm to exert force, and with a click, after the cold light flashed, he actually cut the Swiss Army knife into two sections from the middle of the brush, you must know that the thickness of the Swiss Army knife, all kinds of functions are counted at least 5 centimeters, and they are all aluminum alloy casting, so easily broken into two sections.
All this came too suddenly, the four brothers were stunned at the time, Zidian picked up the Swiss Army knife that was broken into two pieces, and felt distressed, looking at the cross-section, it was not muddy at all, and it was not possible to cut it without enough speed and sharp blades.
"Master, you have a grudge against the Swiss Army Knife, it's a good knife, and you haven't used it yet. Zidian blinked his eyes, and tears were about to fall.
"Fourth, don't feel sorry for your broken knife, the master's knife is the world's magic knife, master, your knifeγγγγγ Zifeng wanted to ask about the origin of this knife.
Before Zifeng finished speaking, Zhizhi spoke: "The origin of this knife is the same as yours, in addition to picking up the four of you, I also picked up this piece of strange iron, I thought it was plastic at first, and then I found that it was extremely hard, so I wanted to train this piece of iron into a treasure knife, and found several blacksmith shops, no matter how it was heated, it couldn't be melted, and I had no choice but to take it back, and I polished it a little bit, and I sharpened it for 16 years, and used hundreds of whetstones, and now I can't grind it anymore, but this knife is also beginning to see scale." After speaking, he looked at the four brothers proudly like a child.
"Sixteen years to grind like this, how lazy!" Zidian muttered and glanced at Zhizhi.
"Drink... You don't believe it, you try it" smart a little not very happy.
Zifeng took the treasure knife and checked it with his hand, the fart was light, the fart was light, and he secretly thought, can this knife cut things? Or does the master have internal strength, there is a bench in front of him, it looks like he has been for a long time, do you want to try it? Thinking of this, Zifeng held the handle of the knife in his hand, and used one arm to exert force, this force does not matter, this knife seems to have spirituality, in the direction of being cut, the force instantly increased nearly ten times, and the bench was cut into two sections, like cutting tofu.
Smart sighed: "I have to bench, this is the late Qing Dynasty, agarwood, it's a pity." β
Zifeng apologized again and again and said: "Master, I didn't want to cut it, I just wanted to try it, but I didn't expect that as soon as I used a little force, there was a strange force pushing this knife, and I couldn't hold it back." β
Zhizhi raised his eyebrows, and said pityfully and proudly: "This is the terrible thing about this knife, this knife and other substances have an inexplicable suction, like an open monkey skin band, the greater the force, the greater the help, the knife is easy to retract, if you want to use this knife well, you have to hone it more." β
Zifeng pretended to be calm, secretly happy, thinking that it was really a good knife, holding it lightly, using it coolly, and hurriedly thanked the master.
Before leaving, Zhizhi repeatedly instructed that the knife should not be used indiscriminately to prevent accidental injury, and remember to remember, although it is a little verbose, but the four brothers keep it in mind.
