Chapter 37: The Way of Buddhism

The Arhat Hall does not stand in the middle of the Buddha statue, only a statue of Arhat is built on the left and right, respectively, the two Arhats of the dragon and the tiger are the two Arhats, the open space of ten zhang square in the hall is all set up as a martial arts field, a young monk leads dozens of little monks, humming and humming to practice the Shaolin entry martial arts Arhat boxing.

"This move to cross the sea to descend the dragon is a killing move in the Arhat boxing, the steps must be big, the right fist must stand firm, the left fist must be sufficient, and the heart must hold the idea of descending the dragon!" The young monk who led the fist explained while boxing.

"Juekong, you have the divine ability to practice Arhat Boxing, you have both rigidity and softness, and you are afraid that your attainments in Arhat Boxing are not as good as you!"

The young monk looked up and saw that it was the master of the Luohan Hall who had arrived in person, and hurriedly stepped forward and bowed down and said, "Juekong has seen the first one!" ”

The group of little monks who practiced the exercises turned around and shouted, "I've seen the first seat!" ”

Shaolin and Quanzhen are both big factions, and the abbot Huineng and Wang Chongyang are the same generation, but they are more than ten years older than Wang Chongyang, and they can be said to be a generation older, so there are four generations of disciples in the Shaolin inheritance, which is one generation more than the Quanzhen Sect. The old monks of Huineng's generation, there are less than ten people left in Shaolin Fruit, except for Huineng who is still the abbot, the few old monks left are no longer directors, only meditating in the temple.

Shaolin is now really in charge of the Tianzi generation of monks, Tianwu is the first seat of the Luohan Hall, Tianming is the first seat of the Dharma Academy, and Tianqing is the first seat of the Discipline Academy. Tianwu's generation is generally slightly longer than the Quanzhen Seven Sons, and these three first martial arts are by no means under the Quanzhen Seven Sons such as Qiu Chuji Ma Yu, but Shaolin has been low-key in the past hundred years, and its prestige in the rivers and lakes is not as good as that of the Quanzhen Sect.

Under the heavenly generation, it is the wordless generation.

Among the wordless generations in Shaolin, the martial arts of the colorless and phaseless duo are particularly prominent.

Colorless was originally born in the green forest, with superb martial arts, leading a team of people in the Song and Jin generations, and was invincible. Once he received news that a wealthy merchant in Dengfeng was transporting a large number of silk and other valuable goods from the south, worth more than one million taels of silver, so he led someone to prepare to rob the road to make a big ticket.

How do you know that this rich merchant has been on the Shaolin Buddha incense for decades, and the relationship with Shaolin is very good, the delivery of goods is extremely valuable, almost accounting for most of the family property, and there is no room for loss. So in addition to inviting the Wuwei Dart Bureau, he also made a special trip to invite Tianwu to go down the mountain to secretly protect him.

Colorless robbed the road this time, and kicked the big stone, and the robbery failed, but kicked and broke his leg.

Fortunately, when Tianwu looked at the colorless robbery, he claimed that he only robbed money and did not kill him, and he also talked about the rules of the rivers and lakes, and cherished the colorless martial arts, so he only restrained the colorless, and did not abolish the colorless kung fu, but took it to Shaomu Mountain to slowly reform.

A few years later, Shaolin has one more master of three generations of disciples, and Lulin has one less hero.

Wuxiang is a monk in Shaolin since he was a child, and while he is practicing Buddhism, his martial arts are also outstanding. Now, in just one year, he has practiced one of the seventy-two stunts of Shaolin to the fullest, and his martial arts cultivation is slightly better than some monks of the Tianzi generation!

Tianzi generation is the Juezi generation, Juekong is the elder brother, he was brought to Shaolin at the age of eight, and has been more than ten years so far, and the basic martial arts of Shaolin are extremely solid. Juekong is enthusiastic and meticulous, and he cares for all his juniors and disciples.

The teaching of this new disciple is generally responsible for the wordless warrior monks, but in the past two years, it has been slowly transferred to Juekong to teach the arts, which shows that his martial arts foundation is solid and has been recognized by the warrior monks in the temple.

Juekong saw the five small bald heads followed by Tianwu, although the head was shaved, there was no incense scar, obviously it was a layman disciple. These people were ruddy-faced, and they were personally led by the first one, thinking that the elders in the family had some relationship with my Shaolin, so he smiled at Tianwu and said: "A few junior disciples are getting started, how to work for the uncle and the ancestors!" ”

Tianwu smiled slightly: "It's not a junior brother, it's a senior uncle!" ”

Juekong exclaimed in surprise, turned to Wan Yankang and the others and saluted: "Juekong has seen a few senior uncles. ”

Tianwu said again: "Only one is an uncle!" ”

Juekong's face was very embarrassed......

Tianwu took Wan Yankang's hand and said, "This is your worry-free uncle, and now he is under my door." The other four are all your juniors. Although Wu Wu is a senior uncle, but when he is new to my Shaolin, all the precepts and entry rules can be followed by ordinary disciples! ”

It turned out that after Yan Kangbai's Tianwu was his teacher, he proposed that Tian Dali and others should also follow into the temple, and Huineng learned that several people did not worship other sects, so he naturally nodded and responded. It's just that these four people need to enter the temple according to the routine and are disciples of the Juezi generation.

Tianwu wanted to teach Yan Kang martial arts in person, but was rejected by Wan Yan Kang. He thought in his heart, if he was watched by this great monk every day, how could he have the opportunity to find the Jiuyang True Scripture. This carefree little master proposed that although he was a generation older, after all, he was a newcomer to the temple, so he should not engage in specialization, so he and Tian Dali and several others would be trained as new disciples and practice martial arts together.

All beings are equal, as soon as these words came out, Huineng and Tianwu secretly praised this son for having Buddha nature!

After finishing Yan Kang, the others have lived a "happy" life as new Shaolin disciples from this day!

The first thing that new Shaolin disciples practice is not Luohan boxing, but carrying water!

Every day when the rooster crows, Wan Yankang has to get up and follow a group of little monks to carry water. Said to be carrying water, in fact, there is no flat shoulder, one person carries two wooden barrels, from the back mountain path down the mountain, to the small river halfway up the mountain to fill two buckets of water, and then rush back to the temple!

How to carry two buckets of water? Why run?

It's slow, I don't have breakfast!

The late birds didn't eat the worms, and this reason was the same as the strategy implemented by Yan Kang's Divine Soldier Base. However, Wan Yankang is a wordless uncle after all, so Juekong said it very tactfully.

"Uncle worry-free, the breakfast in the temple is not enough, and I hope that Uncle will go early and come back early!" Having to call Uncle to the villain who is not yet on his shoulder, Juekong always feels a little embarrassed.

Juekong is a good child, and he specially prepared a pair of slightly smaller buckets for Wan Yankang, worried that this look is that the little uncle from a rich family will not be able to withstand it.

Wanyan Kang's face can't be hung up, that's not good, how can he be worse than his nephews and nephews, he must be tough!

The teachers and nephews use twenty pounds of buckets, then my worry-free master has to double, forty pounds!

Going down the mountain is a sheep intestine path, there are no eighteen bends of the mountain road, there are always three bends and nine turns, the road can only accommodate one person to run, if there are people who go up and down the mountain at the same time, you need to slowly turn sideways to pass.

Ordinary people, it is easy to go up the mountain and difficult to go down, but it is not applicable at this time.

When they went down the mountain, they all carried empty buckets, and they were all walking like flying. It is Tian Dali and Luo San and others, although they have not learned advanced martial arts, they have also been honed in the base for several years, and this leg strength is naturally not a problem.

After Yan Kangyun's golden goose skills, he was as light as a goose and had an elegant body.

Juekong took a look, and thought to himself that this uncle still brought art to the beginning, presumably it must be a family martial art. Juekong has never been out of the mountain since entering the temple, otherwise you will know the origin of this light skill at a glance.

At the foot of the mountain, Juekong led everyone to the river to fill it with water, and then trotted towards the mountain, followed by the little monks one by one.

This Juekong is already an adult, and he is carrying a pair of large wooden barrels, and the two barrels together cannot be nearly two hundred catties, but he saw that he held the bucket flat with both hands, and his steps were brisk, and it was effortless. He shouted as he walked: "Junior brothers, eh, and little uncle, pay attention to your breathing when you go up the mountain, inhale quickly and exhale slowly, inhale deeply when exerting force, and then slowly exhale after walking two steps with your dantian." ”

It was already difficult to go up the mountain, not to mention carrying two large buckets of water, Tian Dali and the other four walked dozens of steps with the buckets, and Zhou Xiaojiang, who was small, stumbled a little, and even Tian Dali's arm shook slightly. After hearing the breathing method taught by Juekong, the four of them hurriedly learned the sample, and gradually they only heard the sound of breathing in front of and behind them, and their pace gradually became more steady.

As soon as Yan Kang heard it, he knew that Juekong was teaching Shaolin the introductory breathing method, plus carrying water and hurrying, even the light arm strength was practiced, and he thought to himself that this was a good way to practice introductory martial arts, so he also had the heart to give it a try.

Breathe in quickly and exhale slowly, and breathe in the dantian. Wan Yankang fell to the tail of the crowd and slowly tried a new breathing method.

snapped, and the anger forked, and the body that had been jumped up by Yan Kang suddenly stiffened, and fell straight down.

Two buckets fell, spilling water on the ground.

Juekong heard a sound of fluttering behind him, slowly stopped, and looked back, it was actually Uncle Xiao who was hitting the street!

"Uncle Junior, are you okay?" Juekong shouted from afar, and then carefully carried the water and staggered with the little monk behind him, and was about to come over to visit Yan Kang.

Nima, it's really a boat capsized in the gutter, and his own uncle image!

Wan Yankang hurriedly got up, stretched out his palm to stop him, and said, "Senior nephew doesn't have to come over, Uncle Shi, I'm fine!" ”

Juekong looked at Yan Kang full of anger, and spoke like this, maybe it was just a slip and fall for a while, so he followed his uncle's wishes and continued to lead the team forward.

After Yan Kang patted the dust on his clothes, lifted the bucket, and saw that the water was spilled, he turned his head and went back to the river to fetch water again.

Juekong glanced back from time to time, and when he saw that Yan Kang had already fetched water to catch up again, he was relieved.

Let's try again, Wan Yankang thought to himself.

It's another gorgeous hit on the street!

Tian Dali fell behind a few and hurriedly stepped forward to help.

After Yan Kang snorted, he spit out half a mouthful of mud, stood up and said lightly: "I'm fine, you continue." ”

Master Sanssouci is still calm at the moment, looking like a little monk, if there is no mud on the side of his mouth and dust all over his body!

……

"This breathing method between carrying water and walking, although it is superficial, is my authentic Shaolin entry kung fu. Don't worry, your true internal strength has been practiced through the four meridians, and this method of carrying the internal power of the Taoist family has formed the instinct of your body. As soon as you use my Shaolin breathing method today, it will naturally conflict with your true internal strength. Today's fork is still a trivial matter, if you transfer to my Shaolin advanced kung fu in the future, I'm afraid it will be even more troublesome! ”

After Yan Kang went through a humiliating exercise of carrying water, he didn't even bother to eat breakfast, so he hurriedly ran to Tianwu to ask him about the reason why he repeatedly hit the street.

"Then I only use Jin Yangong to practice qi, why do I always feel awkward, not smooth in practice, and not working well?"

Tianwu laughed: "Jin Yan Gong, Jin Yan Gong is to imitate the practice of Jin Yan gliding, but if this Jin Yan has two buckets hanging on its wings, how can it fly!" ”

After Yan Kang, it suddenly dawned on him that Jin Yangong seemed to be bad for carrying water. That's it, if the Jiuyang Divine Skill also conflicts with the Quanzhen Internal Skill, wouldn't he have to abolish the martial arts first and start over! This Shaolin seventy-two stunts, you can't practice any of them!

Go deep into Baoshan, but you can't get it, how is it good!

Tianwu frowned after seeing Yan Kang, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, or you will abolish the Quanzhen internal force and rebuild my Buddhist kung fu, there is a promising teacher, and you will make rapid progress!" ”

Wan Yankang shook his head, his own true internal strength, cultivation has gone through three disasters and nine tribulations, if it is really abolished and rebuilt, I don't know when I can practice it to the present, not to mention that if I want to recultivate my internal strength, I have to at least take the Jiuyang Divine Skill, and he can't look down on the ordinary Shaolin internal strength.

"Master, there are not a few Taoist stunts that can also be urged by internal force, the apprentice heard that there was a Tubo national teacher Gu Mozhi who came to my Shaolin, and he could use a small Wuxiang Gong to urge seventy-two stunts."

Tianwu put away his smile and said solemnly: "This is the secret news of the rivers and lakes a hundred years ago, how do you know without worry?" ”

Wan Yankang was a little panicked by Tianwu's sharp eyes, so he had to hang his head and whisper: "The apprentice once read a book of rivers and lakes in the palace, which tells the story of the rivers and lakes more than a hundred years ago, and this paragraph is mentioned in the story, and I don't know if it's true or not!" ”

The atmosphere suddenly became quiet, and after a long time, Tianwu sighed leisurely: "I thought that after more than a hundred years, the things about that year have been forgotten on the rivers and lakes, and I don't want to spread it." ”

Tianwu paused for a moment before he continued: "It's okay, since there are still rumors on the rivers and lakes, master, I'll tell you the story of the year." More than 100 years ago, the Tubo national teacher Gu Mo Zhi came to my Shaolin, with a small Wuxiang Gong to urge seventy-two stunts, no one in the temple can distinguish, no one can be defeated, at this time I Shaolin a young monk stepped forward to reveal the truth, and Gu Mo Zhi defeated. I am ashamed to say that although this young monk is a person from Shaolin, his martial arts are Taoist martial arts, and they come from the same source as the little Wuxiang Gong that Gu Mozhi learned. ”

Wanyan Kangle said: "That is, Taoist internal skills can also practice seventy-two stunts!" ”

Tianwu shook his head: "Back then, that Gu Mozhi used Xiao Wuxianggong to urge seventy-two stunts, and defeated several senior monks in my Shaolin in a row, which seemed to be using seventy-two stunts, but in fact, it was forcibly urged with his almost invincible internal strength. With its deep internal strength, why do you need to use seventy-two stunts against the enemy, but it is more powerful to use its own kung fu duel. ”

Tianwu went on to explain that the internal strength and martial arts of these different sects are complementary to each other, and the internal strength of Buddhism is matched with the martial arts of Buddhism, in order to exert the power of ten or even twelve points, if the internal strength of Taoism is used to make the martial arts of Buddhism, the internal force of ten points may only be able to exert seven or eight points of power, and even some martial arts are so powerful that there is a risk of injury if you force them to urge.

When Wan Yankang heard this, he already knew that his idea of learning dozens of stunts in Shaolin to fight the world was in vain, but he was still unwilling in his heart, and asked again: "Master, my Shaolin huge Zangjing Pavilion has few stunts that are not picky or picked up for internal strength!" ”

After listening to Yan Kang's interesting question, Tianwu smiled slightly: "That's not nothing." ”

"Really!" Wan Yankang's eyes lit up suddenly.

"There is a lion's roar skill, as long as the internal strength is deep, regardless of Buddhism and Taoism, it can be urged."

Lion roar skill, the golden lion king Lu Xun seems to have used it, but it is just used to deal with some shrimp soldiers and crab generals, against the real master, but I haven't seen him use it, it seems that it is just a group attack skill, not strong enough, and then think about it when you open your mouth and roar when you meet people, do you want this handsome and chic image!

Thinking of this, Wan Yankang shook his head and said, "What else?" ”

"Golden bell jars and iron cloth shirts can also achieve something as long as they practice diligently, but they don't need to specialize in Buddhism."

After hearing this, Yan Kang pursed his lips even more: "These are all hard skills, there are a lot of rumors in the rivers and lakes, where can it be regarded as a stunt, the master should not fool me with these things." ”

Tianwu snorted: "The golden bell jar and iron cloth shirt that are circulating on the rivers and lakes, how can they be compared with my Shaolin, not to mention that I Shaolin also has a stunt, King Kong is not bad!" ”

A hint of cunning flashed in Wan Yankang's eyes, and he said happily: "That apprentice will learn this Vajra is not bad magic!" ”

Tianwu chuckled in his heart, he was fooled out of this town temple magic skill, which was really bad. It is said that this King Kong is not bad, but it is not among the seventy-two stunts, but it is juxtaposed with a few magic skills such as the Yijin Sutra and the Washing the Pulp Sutra, which is the town temple magic of Shaolin Temple.

These town temple magic skills are extremely difficult to practice, Shaolin for hundreds of years, among each generation of disciples, there are very few people who can practice the town temple magic skills. Sometimes, in a generation, no one can practice the magic of the temple. However, once a monk can practice the magic of the temple, his kung fu is not to mention overwhelming the contemporary and invincible world, at least he is a top master in the entire martial arts.

Shaolin Temple's prestige in the past few decades is not as good as the Quanzhen Sect, one is that it is low-key, and it is also because no one has been able to practice the Zhensi Divine Skill to the fullest since the Huineng generation, and there is a lack of top masters.

Although it is difficult to cultivate the Yijin Sutra and the King Kong Immortal Skill, it is the treasure of the Shaolin Town Temple after all, and in each generation, in addition to the abbot, only a few people such as the first Dharma Academy, the first Vinaya Academy, and the master of the Luohan Hall are eligible to be awarded.

For this reason, Master Abbot Huineng also specially told Tianwu that this emperor and grandson should not be lazy, and it doesn't matter if he passes on a few seventy-two stunts, but after all, he is only a lay disciple, and he has entered the Quanzhen Sect first, and this town temple is not in the category of art.

Tianwu frowned unconsciously, and said embarrassedly: "This King Kong is not bad, I have never been awarded it as a teacher, I need to ask the abbot." As he spoke, he patted Yan Kang's shoulder with great concern: "Apprentice, you come back with water, you haven't had breakfast yet, hurry up, hurry up." After saying that, he got up and flashed, and in the blink of an eye, he disappeared.

Wan Yankang was dumbfounded, and marveled at how good Tianwu's light skills were.
