……

The sun is shining.

In the glade, Tan Zong watched Zhang Xiaohu finish practicing the Shaolin Qimei stick method vigorously, and couldn't help but praise it: "Xiaohu, it seems that your stick method has been practiced quite proficiently." He looked at Tang Lang again and said, "Your stick method is far inferior to Xiaohu." I need to practice a little more. ”

Tang Lang said with a smile: "These days, I am always lazy, Xiaohu has been practicing day and night, and the stick method has naturally improved." ”

"Practice diligently, diligence can make up for clumsiness." Tan Zong said, picking up a long sword from the ground, "Now, I'll teach you Shaolin swordsmanship again." ”

"Okay." Tang Lang and Zhang Xiaohu were both extremely excited.

So, Tanzong taught Shaolin swordsmanship as he had taught the two of them to practice the Shaolin Qi Mei stick method before. He held the sword in his right hand and the sword technique in his left hand, and practiced the Shaolin swordsmanship like a cloud.

After the drill, he analyzed the key points in this set of Shaolin swordsmanship to Tang Lang and Zhang Xiaohu one by one, and taught them to recite the sword trick.

“…… Okay, have you memorized all the moves? Tan Zong said to the two.

Tang Lang and Zhang Xiaohu said loudly in unison: "Remember." ”

"Alright," said Tanzong, "now, you two will go through the drills one by one in front of me." - Xiaohu, you come first! ”

Zhang Xiaohu said loudly, "Yes, Master." ”

After Zhang Xiaohu and Tang Lang had finished the drills, Tan Zong pointed out their respective shortcomings to the two of them.

The two of them bowed down to be taught.

“…… The master led the way into the door, and the practice was in the individual. Okay, then, you two will practice this set of Shaolin swordsmanship I taught you. I'll go back to the temple first. ”

Tan Zong said, turning around and about to walk out of the glade.

"-Master!"

Tang Lang suddenly stopped Tan Zong from behind.

Hearing this, Tan Zong turned around and said, "What's the matter, Tang Lang?" If you still have any questions that you don't understand, hurry up and ask. ”

"No," Tang Lang looked like he wanted to say something, "I want to ......"

Tan Zong said loudly: "Don't be such a mother-in-law, if there is anything, just say it." ”

Tang Lang had no choice but to say, "Master, I'm thinking about ...... These big guns and big sticks, when they practice boring every day, they are also quite uncomfortable. So, I thought...... Master, can you teach us some small and dexterous secret weapon techniques, so that we can also practice alternately. ”

"Haha...... You brat. Tan Zong laughed and said, "You tell me directly, you just want to learn the plum blossom cutting wood needle of Shaolin Temple." Why bother going around and around, making such a big bend. ――I told me secretly. ”

Tang Lang plucked up his courage and said, "Master, I really want to learn the plum blossom cutting wood needle of Shaolin Temple. ”

"You kid, Shaolin Qi Mei stick technique and Shaolin sword technique have not been practiced at all, so you are eating in the bowl and looking at the pot. Okay, okay, I'll teach you this set of plum blossom cutting wood needles of Shaolin Temple today. ”

As he spoke, Tan Zong untied a belt from his waist.

He took the belt, beckoned Tang Lang and Zhang Xiaohu, and said, "Come, you two come over to see what the plum blossom cutting wooden needle of Shaolin Temple is." ”

When Tang Lang and Zhang Xiaohu heard this, they walked to Tan Zong's side.

Tan Zong pointed to the large and small needle sockets on his belt and said to the two: "You see, this is the needle socket for the plum blossom cut wood needles, which are made of special snake skin. ”

He took out a one-and-a-half-finger-long plum blossom wood needle from the needle sleeve on his belt, and said to Tang Lang and Zhang Xiaohu: "This is the secret self-defense secret weapon of Shaolin Temple - plum blossom wood needle." This wooden needle is only one and a half fingers long and is made of copper and iron. Generally speaking, truncated wooden needles are made of copper and iron, but also gold and silver, which is more expensive. ”

Tang Lang looked at the plum blossom wood needle as thick as a thin line, and couldn't help but say: "This plum blossom wood needle is as thin as a thread." It must be very difficult to practice. ”

Tan Zong sighed softly, as if remembering the years he had spent cultivating this plum blossom wood needle, and said, "It will take at least ten to twelve years of hard work before it can be refined." -- Only those who have suffered hardships can refine the plum blossom cutting wood needles of Shaolin Temple. ”

Tang Lang had long expected that this kind of Shaolin Temple's plum blossom cutting wood needle must be very difficult to practice, and he knew that this kind of kung fu only took about ten years to practice, and among the various stunts of Shaolin Temple, it still took less time.

"Master, it takes about ten years to refine, and the time it takes is not too much or no less." Tang Lang said.

Tan Zong nodded and said, "Among the seventy-two stunts of the Shaolin Temple, there are still twenty or thirty or even forty or fifty years to be able to practice. This plum blossom wood needle only takes ten years to refine, and the time can indeed be regarded as no more and no less. ”

Tang Lang and Zhang Xiaohu listened and nodded silently.

I only heard Tan Zong continue: "The plum blossom wood cutting needle method of Shaolin Temple was founded by the great Zen master Fuhu of Shaolin Temple. The great Zen master Fuhu was a person in the early years of the Sui Dynasty, and now he has passed away for many years and is buried in the Tallinn Holy Land of Shaolin Temple. ”

Tang Lang had never heard of the eminent monk "Fuhu Great Zen Master", so he asked: "Is Fuhu Great Zen Master a disciple of Master Hui Ke, the second generation patriarch of Zen Buddhism?" ”

Tan Zong said: "I don't quite understand the inheritance of the Great Zen Master Fuhu. However, I seem to have heard some masters say that this great Zen master Fuhu once received the guidance of Master Bodhidharma. ”

Tang Lang couldn't help but say: "Then his generation is high." ”

Tan Zong held the one-and-a-half-finger-long plum blossom wood needle in his hand, and said: "The plum blossom wood needle handed down by the great Zen master Fuhu actually has three models: large, medium and small. The large wooden needle is four fingers long, and the middle one is two and a half to three fingers long, and the one and a half fingers long I hold in my hand is a small one. ”

Tang Lang asked, "Is there anything more detailed?" ”

"Absolutely. The plum blossom cut wood needle is the thinnest, like silk, which is even more difficult to practice. Tan Zong said: "-- Next, I will tell you about the practice of this plum blossom cutting wooden needle......

Zhang Xiaohu suddenly said, "Master, I'm ...... I don't want to practice this plum blossom cutting wood needle......"

Tan Zong, who was talking, was stunned when he heard this.

Tang Lang hurriedly smiled and explained for Zhang Xiaohu: "Master, Xiaohu thinks that this plum blossom wood needle is used by women, and he is naturally a man who stands up to the sky, so he doesn't want to learn in his heart. ”

When Tanzong heard this, he laughed and said, "In this way, this Fuhu Great Zen Master and Tanzong Monk I, are both women?" ”

Zhang Xiaohu said: "Naturally not. It's just that this kind of secret weapon, I don't like to practice it too much. However, Master can give me the other Shaolin Temple 72 stunts. ”

"Good!" Tan Zong said, "Then I will pass this plum blossom wood needle to Tang Lang." You choose one of the seventy-two stunts in Shaolin Temple that you like to practice, tell me, and I will teach you when the time comes. ”

Zhang Xiaohu nodded and said, "Well, that's great." - Master, then I'll go and practice Shaolin swordsmanship. ”

"Okay." Tan Zong said, "You go." ”

Zhang Xiaohu happily walked away with his sword.

Looking at Zhang Xiaohu's figure practicing swords in a clearing in the distance, Tan Zong smiled and said, "This little tiger ......"

Tang Lang's heart was itching, so he reminded Tan Zong and said, "Master, let's continue." ”

Tan Zong retracted his gaze at this time, he looked at Tang Lang, and said: "You don't want to patronize the practice of this plum blossom cutting wood needle in the future, Shaolin boxing, Shaolin stick, Shaolin sword, you also have to practice more." ”

"The disciple understands. I practice this plum blossom wood needle, and I am also practicing Shaolin boxing, Shaolin stick, and Shaolin sword, so there should be no delay. Tang Lang said with an oath.

Tan Zong was overjoyed when he heard this, and said, "Well, that's not bad. -- Speaking of the techniques of cutting wooden needles of plum blossoms in Shaolin Temple, there are three main ones, namely, the needle by hand, the needle by finger, and the needle by qi. The target of this plum blossom wooden needle is the head, face, wrists, neck, and other major acupuncture points of the person's body. ”

Hearing this, Tang Lang suddenly interjected and said, "Fortunately, I borrowed a medical book from my grandfather, and I still understand all the acupuncture points in a person's body. ”

"You just understand, there's still a long way to go. It will be more difficult to recognize the acupoints and insert the needle. If you shoot needles at the major acupoints of the human body ten steps away, it will be even more difficult. Tan Zong said.

Tang Lang nodded, "Otherwise, it takes ten years of hard work to practice this secret skill of Shaolin Temple." ”

"Hmm." Tan Zong continued: "Hair needles by hand, mainly large plum blossom cut wood needles. You have to practice this plum blossom wood needle, you have to practice from big to small, the smaller the more difficult it is. The hand hair needle is divided into the front hair needle, the back hair needle, the left hair needle, the right hair needle, the upper hair needle, and the hair needle. The easiest thing to do is to start with the front hair needle—"

He took a sword from the ground, cut out a man-high plane on a large tree surrounded by three people, and drew a simple human form with the tip of the sword on the fresh plane, "sneering......" - the head, face, limbs, and torso were faintly visible.

Tan Zong pointed to the simple human form and said to Tang Lang: "You first face this big tree and practice the front hair needle technique in the hand hair needle. This front hair needle technique is divided into a closed hand and a head-on fight. Closing hands means that you use the thumb and forefinger of the hand to pinch the tip of the needle and launch it. The method of hand-to-hand play is to use the palm of the left hand to meet the right wrist, and launch the plum blossom wooden needle by touching. Note that when the needle is removed, the palm of the hand should be ...... downward"

As he spoke, he pinched out a large plum blossom wooden needle, and demonstrated it to Tang Lang with the combined hand and the head-on play method in the front hair needle technique.

"Tang Lang, you stand three or four steps away from this humanoid pattern, and practice according to what I said."

Tang Lang was very excited in his heart, and he shouted, "Yes, Master." ”

He followed the technique taught by Tan Zong, stood outside the three steps of the humanoid pattern, and first practiced with the joint hand fighting method.

Seeing Tang Lang's meticulous practice of needles, Tan Zong was very satisfied in his heart, and said: "To practice needles by hand, you must practice on time three times a day in the morning, noon and evening, and you can't slack off." If, after three months of practice, the needle you fired doesn't hit the ground and hits the humanoid, you can move another five steps......"
