Chapter 6: Penance

The night was silent, and the silver moon hung high. Chen Yanpan sat in the meditation room, and the essence of the arhat's divine skills was like a gurgling stream flowing through his heart.

Since receiving the bhikshu ordination and becoming a disciple of Shaolin, Chen Yan has been out of the dilemma of Datongpu, and because he is a disciple of the first Dharma Ming in the Luohan Hall, he has an independent small meditation room by virtue of this important identity.

Shao ** Gong is extremely heavy on the foundation, and Fa Ming saw that he had more than three months to complete his body with the sitting method of Dacheng and his body to give birth to internal breath, and he was extremely talented in internal strength, so he did not teach him Luohan Boxing but taught him from internal strength.

After going through the essence of the Arhat Divine Skill in his mind, Chen Yan suddenly opened his eyes.

"Although the Arhat Divine Skill sounds atmospheric, and it is rumored that there are 500 Arhat beings who have cultivated to the extreme, it is still only the basic internal strength of the Arhat Hall.

And as far as I know recently, this arhat is the lowest of the many fruit positions in Buddhism. As soon as I heard it, I don't know how much worse it was from the Bodhisattva Buddha.

Moreover, with the force of this world, it is impossible to become a so-called arhat, and it is no wonder that the master showed a playful look on his face when he talked about the cultivation of arhats' divine skills to the end of the world, and there were 500 arhats. ”

Thinking of this, Chen Yan sank down and began to practice, and a wisp of inner breath cultivated by the sitting method in his body continued to flow in his body along the running veins of the arhat divine skills.

Ordinary bhikshunis have a lot of trouble in cultivating internal strength, and even bhikshunis with better talent have to go through many steps to induce internal breath, stop qi sense, and regenerate internal breath, and this step is even more difficult for most people.

And Chen Yan directly refined his physical body to perfection, automatically gave birth to internal breath, and crossed the three levels in one step.

Moreover, Chen Yan has a very solid foundation for internal breath automatic life, and his own talent in internal breath is also extremely high, the most important thing is that he has the occasional washing of the chanting sound in the Daoguang of the dantian and the teaching of Fa Ming, the first seat of the Arhat Hall, his comprehension of the Arhat Divine Skill has been deepened, and the progress of the internal strength cultivation is also extremely fast.

Exhale, inhale, exhale, inhale

Chen Yan quickly emptied his mind and entered the realm of forgetting things and me.

The true qi in his body that had been transformed by the Arhat's divine skills continued to grow and expand in his body with his breathing.

While the true qi in Chen Yan's body continued to grow slowly, a figure quietly came outside the house, and the silver-white moonlight sprinkled down and refracted on the shiny bald head.

The person who came was tall, handsome, and handsome, even if he had a bald head, it would not affect the handsomeness of his face at all, which was Fa Ming.

At this moment, his steps shifted, and he came to the window in just a few steps.

"Calm and relaxed, breathe long. How talented am I? It's only been three days, and I've already stepped into the threshold of this arhat divine skill. Fa Ming felt the state of Chen Yan in the house, and was surprised in his heart.

Ever since he had passed on the Arhat Divine Skill to Chen Yan three days ago, he would come to Chen Yan's house every night to check out how his disciple's cultivation was progressing.

On the first night, Chen Yan could only barely settle down.

The next night, he had already mastered the exercises and could enter the meditation practice, which was already a great surprise to him, and it took him ten years to get to this point when he was young.

And now, judging from Chen Yan's state, he has really entered the hall in this exercise, and his comprehension of the exercise is no lower than that of the disciples who have practiced the inner strength and mental method for half a year in this Luohan Hall.

Of course, compared with those disciples who have been in the Arhat Hall for several years or even more than ten years, and the Arhat Divine Skill has already entered the hall.

……

After the night, Chen Yan opened his eyes and stretched out of the meditation room.

Sitting all night did not make him feel back pain and lack of energy, but he was refreshed and comfortable.

At this time, he had officially entered the Arhat Hall, so he did not have to chop wood and carry water with those outer disciples, but went to the morning service with the other bhikshunis.

After finishing the morning class, he was directly called by Fa Ming.

"Whoa!" Fa Ming threw a small jade bottle to Chen Yan.

Chen Yan hurriedly caught it, and looked up at Fa Ming: "Master, what is this!" ”

As he spoke, he opened the cap of the bottle, and a fragrance permeated the air, which made him feel slightly refreshed.

"Little Return." Fa Ming said with a smile: "This is the elixir I asked for from the senior brother of the Medicine Master Palace, although it is no longer effective for those of us people, but it is extremely rare for you disciples who have just begun to cultivate inner breath.

Moreover, this is refined by himself himself, the medicinal properties are mild, and the medicinal power is also a few points stronger than other small pills, which is of great benefit to you. ”

"Thank you, Master!" Chen Yan's face was solemn, and he saluted respectfully, and now among the senior monks of the Medicine Master Palace, there is probably only the first seat of the Medicine Master Hall that can call his cheap master a senior brother.

Fa Ming calmly accepted this salute and continued: "Martial arts cultivation lies in both internal and external cultivation. In addition to the cultivation of true qi, external skills are also essential.

Now that your internal strength has first glimpsed the door, the rest is water grinding kung fu, and you can't be in a hurry. But now you still lack the martial arts you are good at. ”

Hearing this, Chen Yan's eyes lit up. Judging from Fa Ming's words, it is obvious that he is going to teach martial arts.

"The teacher was going to wait for you to have a small success in the cultivation of internal strength before teaching you Luohan boxing, but now that you have a first glimpse of the internal strength, learning Luohan boxing has been put on the agenda, and it just so happens that there is free time in the past few days, so I will teach you the day after tomorrow Luohan boxing."

As he spoke, Fa Ming had already begun to practice in the courtyard, and at the same time told the origin of Luohan Boxing.

At that time, the Zen patriarch Bodhidharma came from Tianzhu and stepped barefoot into the Central Plains to spread Buddhism. When he gave a lecture on Zen Buddhism in Shaolin Temple, he saw that the monks in the temple were yellow and thin, and his spirit was not good, so he said: "The monks do not focus on the body, but they also do not allow them to be unclear about sex, so that the soul is separated." If you want to understand nature, you must first strengthen your body, then your body is strong and your soul is easy to understand. Eighteen hands of Arhat Boxing were created and awarded to the monks, and within a few months, all of them were full of energy. And these eighteen hands are the innate Arhat boxing.

Since then, many monks in later generations have taken these eighteen hands of innate Arhat boxing as the basis, fused changes, elaborated on the subtlety, and formed a variety of boxing methods, all of which are called acquired Arhat boxing.

"Today, what I teach you is the Arhat boxing deduced by the senior monks of my Songshan Shaolin Temple, which has been revised and modified and has been perfected. Although this one hundred and eighteen hands of Songshan acquired Arhat boxing is far from the innate Arhat boxing, there is no ability to refine the inside and outside, and the I Ching cleanses the marrow, but it is still a rare top boxing method in the world. ”

After that, he stopped and stood up, but he had already beaten the acquired Arhat boxing.

"How many points did you remember about this one hundred and eighteen Luohan boxing?"

Chen Yan has some, no matter how talented he is, it is impossible to remember everything, unless he has the ability to remember.

"Seven Hands." Chen Yan was speechless, fortunately, his memory and comprehension were far beyond ordinary people, and the first seven hands were deeply memorable, and he could barely play. It's just a rough look at the moves in the back.,There's no energy left over to memorize.。。

"Seven hands? Although it is a lot worse than when I was a teacher, but the seven hands are also very good, and I didn't think how much you would remember as a teacher. The corners of Fa Ming's mouth were slightly hooked, and he didn't hesitate to hit his little disciple.

After all, now that this apprentice is so talented, if he doesn't strike hard, where will his master's dignity go.

Although, when I learned Luohan boxing from my master, I only memorized four hands.
