Chapter 46: Blessings
After Yan Kang returned to the mountain, he handed over all the five thousand taels of silver tickets to Tianwu.
Although Tianwu is a monk, as a high-ranking person in the temple, he also needs to participate in the management of these mundane affairs. His own apprentice is so generous, Tianwu monk Yan Dayue, thinking that although this kid is the first to worship the Quanzhen, but after all, he has not even been to the Quanzhen Mountain Gate, depending on the degree of filial piety, or the heart is more to my Shaolin, it is not in vain that my Shaolin treats him like this.
Wan Yankang saw that Tianwu was happy, and made a request by the way: "Master, it's really a bit boring for a disciple to practice alone, why don't you let my little teachers and nephews together?" ”
When Tianwu heard this, he thought that Wan Yankang wanted Tian Dali and a few people to practice the Vajra Immortal Skill together, so he couldn't help but have a blank face, and said in a cold voice: "Don't worry, you should be a child's play in this temple?" ”
Wan Yankang saw that Tianwu would be mistaken, and hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Master, the apprentice doesn't mean this, the apprentice means, let a few of them also practice iron cloth shirts and golden bell jars together, and several of them will have to protect the apprentices in the future, and it is always good to learn a hard skill to defend themselves." ”
When Tianwu heard this, his face relaxed, and after a little thought, he agreed to let Tian Dali and a few people practice iron cloth shirts.
In Shaolin, the iron cloth shirt can only be regarded as an ordinary martial arts, and the golden bell is covered by the iron cloth shirt, ranking among the seventy-two stunts. There are quite a few monks in the temple who have practiced iron cloth shirts, and it is not important to let Tian Dali and a few lay disciples practice iron cloth shirts.
It's just that these apprentices and grandchildren practice, Tianwu naturally won't personally support them anymore, just let Wan Yankang find Juekong to help.
After Yan Kang got the decree, he immediately went to find Juekong.
Juekong was doing evening classes in the meditation room, knocking on the wooden fish to chant the scriptures, and when he saw Yan Kang coming, he put down the wooden fish and stepped forward to greet him.
"Master nephew, there are a few junior nephews who want to practice iron cloth shirts, and the master asked me to ask you for help." Wan Yankang said straight to the point.
Juekong sighed: "I don't know which junior disciples want to practice?" ”
After finishing Yankang, he reported to Tian Dali and the four of them, as well as Juexi and his younger brother Juexing.
Juekong didn't doubt him, and agreed to come down. The method of practicing the iron cloth shirt is very simple, but it requires a lot of soft cloth and ointment, and these materials must be applied for in a special way, and only after being prepared can a few junior disciples start practicing.
Wan Yankang left satisfied.
Juexi was in the meditation room, and suddenly he was startled for no reason and sneezed loudly.
Two days later, after Juekong took a group of junior disciples to practice Luohan Boxing, he called Tian Dali and Juexi Juexing to stay alone, and told them to go to the practice room at noon to wait.
Shaolin has set up five special practice rooms for people who practice hard skills, and more than 100 years ago when Shaolin was the most prosperous, these practice rooms were shouting constantly every day, and they were in full swing.
In contemporary times, Shaolin has been silent for a long time, and there are few famous foreign masters on the rivers and lakes, and there are very few people in Shaolin who practice hard skills. There are five practice rooms, and there are currently three practice rooms that are vacant all year round, and Juekong has a few juniors and disciples to practice together, and when applying for supplies, he also occupies a practice room by the way.
At the beginning, the practice of Shaolin iron cloth shirt was wrapped around the whole body with a soft cloth and beaten with a wooden hammer.
A shallow pit was dug outside the practice room, and a foot deep was laid with fine sand, and during the practice, all parts of the body could be in contact with the sand several times.
When sleeping at night, you should use a hard wooden board as a couch, so that the bones come into contact with hard objects, and gradually become solid over time.
In this practice room, there are eight hard couches, and the hard couches are made of wood, and they are like golden stones.
At noon, Juexi and Tian Dali went to the practice room first, and Tian Dali and the others looked at the wooden hammer hanging on the wall of the house, the soft cloth and ointment placed on the hard couch, and they were completely confused.
Juexi saw this familiar soft cloth, and his heart chuckled.
At this moment, Senior Brother Juekong and Uncle Wuwu walked into the door together with a smile.
Wan Yan Kang smiled toothily at Juexi and Juexing: "Two nephews, such a coincidence, let's meet again!" ”
Jue Xin was still ignorant, Juexi only felt a cool breath coming out of his back, and when he gave salutes to the senior brother and the junior uncle, the smile was even more ugly than crying.
Juekong first explained the situation to the six people, and then explained the practice method of the iron cloth shirt, and finally said: "Junior disciples, it is a great blessing for you to agree with the six of you to practice the iron cloth shirt. It's just that the practice of this iron cloth shirt is quite difficult, far better than the pain of carrying water and practicing boxing every day, you need to practice diligently to succeed. ”
As soon as Juekong's words came out, several junior disciples were embarrassed, and he hurriedly added: "Once this skill is practiced, you will walk the rivers and lakes in the future, not to mention that you can overwhelm the crowd, at least there are few opponents." ”
When Tian Dali and several people heard this, they were all excited.
Juexi looked at Wan Yankang from time to time, and after a long time of entanglement in his heart, he finally gritted his teeth and said to Juekong: "Senior brother, I don't practice iron cloth shirts!" ”
Juekong Qi said: "Senior brother, why don't you want to practice this skill? ”
Juexi said: "I heard that the iron cloth shirt is a child's skill, and I will go home to pass on the ancestry in the future, and I can't practice the child's skill." ”
Juekong waved his hand and said with a smile: "What's the matter, if this iron cloth shirt is a child's skill, how can Uncle Ancestor let a few of you lay disciples come to practice, you need to know that this exercise is not to mention anything else, there are a lot of fabrics and ointments for Fei." ”
Juexi choked and said: "When I was at home, I heard that the iron cloth shirt is a child's skill!" ”
When Tian Dali and the others heard this, they were also a little surprised.
Juekong had no choice but to explain: "It is a mistake to say that the iron cloth shirt is a child's skill, but if a person who has practiced the child's skill practices the iron cloth shirt, he will improve faster." ”
Juexi opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but under Juekong's firm and clear eyes, he was weakly defeated.
Wan Yankang thought to himself, Xiaoxiao, even if you see what the young master and my intentions are, you don't need me to make a move, you will have no way.
Looking at the helpless expression on Juexi's face, the smile on Wan Yankang's face became brighter and brighter.
Although he wanted to pretend to be a public and private reuniting Juexi and Juexing, the carefree little uncle did a full set of plays, first saying that he would practice with the six teachers and nephews in the future, and also took the lead in wrapping a soft cloth, so that Juexi and Juexing could beat each other as usual.
The consciousness is still as usual, Juexi only feels that the wooden hammer in his hand today is deadly, and the strength in his hand is not a little.
Wan Yankang felt that Juexi was not strong, and shouted in a loud voice: "Work hard, Juexi, haven't you eaten today!" ”
Juexi cried with a sad face, and greeted the little uncle with a strong spirit.
After Yan Kang was beaten, he still looked radiant.
Tian Dali and the others looked at this and thought to themselves that this iron cloth shirt is not difficult.
It seems to be pretty cool!
I don't know if I don't practice, after Tian Dali really wrapped the cloth strip and started to be beaten, the entire practice room sounded one howl after another.
Occasionally, monks who passed by the practice room, hearing such a miserable scream, hurriedly came in to check what was happening, and found that it was a few young monks practicing iron cloth shirts, and each of them showed a knowing smile.
Wan Yankang personally took the wooden hammer to greet Juexi and Juexing in turn, and the two of them were even more miserable than Tian Dali.
At this time, Jue finally realized that something was wrong, and kept begging for mercy with his eyes.
Juexi is a single, but at this time he is not afraid, his eyes are wide open, and he competes according to the way Juekong has taught.
But no matter whether it is hard or soft, this wooden hammer hits the body, it is the same pain, and after beating it down, the tears of joy and pain have flowed countless times.
Juekong also saw that something was wrong, and wanted to say something to stop it. But seeing that Uncle Xiao is a little measured after all, when he exerts his strength, he always greets some meaty places, and he feels that there is no intention of hurting people, so he just thinks about it.
After several people were beaten, just like Wan Yankang's previous times, they were all bruised and soaked, especially Juexi and Jue were even worse, and they couldn't even support the wall.
Juekong asked a few people to climb on the hard couch, wiped the whole body of several people with ointment, and massaged several people for a week to let the medicine penetrate faster.
Tian Dali said gratefully: "Senior brother, thank you, you are so good." ”
Juekong said with a smile: "It's all senior brothers, why are you talking about this, I also practiced iron cloth shirts back then, and it was also the master who applied medicine to me with his own hands." ”
Wan Yankang was not beaten badly this day, and he thought that he would not apply medicine, but he looked at a few people who seemed to be very comfortable after being served by Juekong, and he also took the initiative to lie on the hard couch and let Juekong apply medicine to himself.
With Juekong's big hand or pressing or patting, Wan Yankang only felt warm all over his body, and fell asleep unconsciously.
The next day, the practice was as usual.
At the end of this day, Yan Kang realized that something was wrong, Juexi This kid was bold, and his attack was more ruthless than usual, he had already adapted to the previous beating strength, and he couldn't help but cry out again and again on this day.
Wan Yankang exhaled in pain, and at the same time thought fiercely: hurt each other, who is afraid of whom!
It didn't take long for Juexi to scream again and again.
After thinking about taking care of it for a few days, Juekong asked Juexi and the others to practice on their own, beating and applying medicine to each other. As a result, when I saw that this posture was not good, I still had to watch it here, otherwise the little uncle and the little junior brother would get angry, and something big would happen.
After Yan Kang was counterattacked by Juexi like this, he let go of Jue Xing and went to the pole with Juexi.
Juexi is also hard, but he refuses to be soft.
In this practice room, the loudest people who shout every day are the carefree little uncle and the little monk Juexi.
Tian Dali didn't think it was a big deal, and from time to time he was still coaxing and cheering, so that Juekong frequently glared at this unconscious guy, and when he applied medicine and massage, he specially added a little strength to let him yell and beg for mercy on the hard couch.
The practice of this iron cloth shirt was originally extremely boring, but as a result, a few little monks tossed it so much, and the atmosphere seemed to be particularly joyful. Especially the progress of the practice, which also made Juekong a little surprised, after only half a month of practice, several people have achieved initial results, and the progress of the top others for a month.
Wan Yankang and Juexi beat each other for half a month, and gradually looked at Juexi with a pleasing eye, and felt that it was rare for this kid to be so tough. He thought that he had been thinking about the child for so long, and he also despised himself in his heart, so he put down his body, showed kindness to Juexi, and proposed reconciliation.
You must know that after Yan Kang's divine skills are in his body, he is beaten and screamed, and Juexi is purely relying on one breath to desperately support it. Seeing that Uncle Xiao took the initiative to reconcile, how could he disagree.
