Volume 1: The Supreme Mandate of Heaven Chapter 48: The Canon in the Sutra (I)
The abbot of Fang Zheng is the presiding officer of Shaolin, and his martial arts and Buddhism cultivation are high, and he is one of the people in the world. However, although he is well-versed in handling things, he is quite a bit infatuated with the idea of "purifying all sentient beings". Since he saw Chen Sheng's "good material and beautiful quality", he refused to let it go no matter what. The ordinary way did not work, so I decided to find another convenient method as extradition.
In addition, Buddhism pays attention to the word "edge". Judging from Chen Sheng's martial arts path, he obviously has a great relationship with Shaolin, which is one of them; Chen Shengli sent the "Sword Spectrum to Warding Off Evil Spirits" to Shaomu Mountain, and saved the descendants of the proud disciples of the abbot of Shaolin in the past, which is the second; The sharp question and answer in the Thousand Buddha Hall made the case of the Three Ancestors Temple appear in the ancestral court, which is the third; Chen Sheng has the ambition of keeping the right and warding off the evil, and killing the guilt, which is the fourth; If you don't extradite with Buddhism, then what Chen Sheng did after that, in the eyes of the abbot, is easy to fall into paranoia, and even has the danger of falling into the Shura Dao, and it is a great pity to spoil such a talent? This is the fifth.
It is precisely because of the previous five opportunities that the abbot is not only willing to accept Chen Sheng to join the Shaolin Temple, but also more willing to accept Chen Sheng as an apprentice. The painstaking work must be known. At this moment, seeing Chen Sheng bowing and saluting, the abbot was happy in his heart and couldn't help but smile.
It just so happened that at this time, Master Fang Sheng sent the guest back. Seeing the two of them like this, I couldn't help but be stunned. Under the question, he was even more surprised, and said with a smile: "Congratulations." Senior Brother Abbot has only accepted two apprentices in his life, and that was thirty years ago. Since Senior Nephew Chen has entered, he is the closed disciple of Senior Brother Abbot. The Shaolin skills of the senior brother can also be taught. When the time comes, the teacher and nephew will be able to magnify our temple and shine in the martial arts. ”
Chen Sheng sat up straight and said in a condensed voice: "Shaolin seventy-two stunts are indeed broad and deep. But what I want to learn the most is only one thing, which is the "Yijin Sutra" handed down by the ancestors of Bodhidharma. ”
For the newly accepted apprentice to have this request, the abbot was not surprised. He smiled slightly and said, "After Shaolin disciples get started, if they learn martial arts, they always need to go step by step. Learn Shaolin Changquan first, and after getting acquainted with it, then learn Luohan Boxing, and then learn Fuhu Boxing. The internal and external skills have quite a lot of roots, and you can learn the Vedic palm or the Thousand Hands of Great Compassion Pose. Pretty much learned. If you are high, you can follow the learning of scattered flower palms. After that, whether you can learn Paramita depends on whether you are close to practicing martial arts. If the qualifications are not haode, then the pedestrian will stop at this point, and then there is no need to make more effort, or specialize in chanting sutras and participating in Zen. ”
Master Fang Sheng continued: "Not bad. After learning the paramita, you can study the seventy-two stunts of the temple. However, the exercises of these seventy-two stunts are very difficult, and even if those with outstanding talents want to practice one of them, it is not easy. What's more, all kinds of stunts are practiced to a high place, in short, they are just better than others in martial arts, and if they can win with Kung Fu of Gate A, they don't have to win people with Kung Fu of Gate B, and as for Gate C and Gate, they don't have to practice. Therefore, the ancestors of the past generations passed on the Dharma, and it was enough to stop. If you are a lay disciple, you can only practice one stunt. ”
The abbot of Fang Zheng said: "Apprentice, your own martial arts are already extremely high, even if you learn it from scratch, it must only be a matter of ten days and a half months." If you want to learn seventy-two stunts directly, you can make it. However, the "Yijin Sutra" ...... This is the supreme martial arts secret book of the temple...... "I can't help but hesitate in my heart." After a while, he sighed again: "It's not that the teacher refuses to teach. I'm afraid that even if you learn, you may not be able to achieve anything. ”
Chen Sheng was slightly surprised and asked, "Master, what is this saying?" ”
The abbot of Fang Zheng said slowly: "After the death of the ancestor of Bodhidharma, the second ancestor saw a volume of scriptures next to the ancestor futon, which was the "Yijin Sutra". The meaning of the scriptures is profound, and the two ancestors read and studied hard, but they could not understand it, so they traveled all over the world to find the wonderful truth. After thirty-two years, he finally met Li Jing, the queen of Wei. The two talked about three nights before they comprehended all the secrets of martial arts in the "Yijin Sutra".
The kung fu of "Yijin Jing", the veins of the whole body, the jīng god of the five internal organs, the circle is not scattered, the line is continuous, the qi is born from the inside, and the blood is moistened from the outside. After practicing this scripture, the heart is moved and the force is released, one is saved and one is released, and it is naturally applied, and it does not feel that it comes out of itself, such as the rise of cháo, like the hair of thunder. But if you want to achieve something, you must have no place to live, and you must not have the idea of practicing martial arts in your heart. Otherwise, even if you work hard for many years, you will often get nothing. Apprentice, you want to reach the pinnacle of martial arts and prove that you are invincible in the world. With this in mind, I am afraid that practicing the "Yijin Sutra" will ......"
Before he finished speaking, the abbot shook his head slightly, obviously not optimistic about whether Chen Sheng could "have no place to live and investigate my appearance".
Master Fang Sheng next to him also persuaded: "Not bad. Master and nephew, in fact, if you want to practice advanced internal skills, you don't necessarily have to be "Yijin Jing". The temple also has a "yù samadhi broken line to achieve the divine foot sutra", which is similar to the power of the "Yijin Sutra". If you want to learn, you can also ask the abbot to teach it. ”
Chen Sheng had never heard of the name of the "yù Samadhi Breaking Actions and Achieving the Divine Foot Sutra". Suddenly, when I heard Master Fang Sheng talk about it, I naturally felt a little inexplicably curious. Subconsciously asked, "Divine Foot Sutra?" Listening to this name, it looks like a light exercise. ”
The abbot of Fang Zheng smiled and said: "The name of the god is the meaning of the magic power. The apprentice should not look forward to the righteousness of the text, and mistakenly think that it is the foot of speed. After a pause, he then said: "Speaking of which, this "Divine Foot Sutra" is indeed quite suitable for apprentices to cultivate. This sutra is a very miraculous yoga technique of ancient Tianzhu, which was transmitted from the country of Magadha. When Venerable Bhadra came to China in the west, he recorded this sutra in a book with ink made of a special herb from Tianzhu.
But this secret ink must be soaked in water to be revealed, and when it is dry, it is hidden. Therefore, after reading it, later generations thought it was just a blank book. Due to the Shaolin grass creation of that year, everything was lacking. When Patriarch Bodhidharma saw this blank book, he didn't think much about it, and wrote his own "Yijin Sutra" in Sanskrit. For hundreds of years, no one knew that there were two scriptures hidden in one book.
In the Northern Song Dynasty, the "Yijin Jing" was stolen. After several turnovers, it fell into the hands of You Tan, the master of Juxian Zhuang Shaozhuang, who was very famous in the martial arts at that time. By chance, the owner of the young farmer somehow soaked the book, making the "Divine Foot Sutra" appear. He practiced according to the records in the book, and since then his martial arts have made great progress, and finally caused a big storm in the martial arts. After experiencing a lot of twists and turns, this book recorded both the "Shenzu Sutra" and the "Yijin Sutra" two strange books, before returning to Shaolin. Disciple, would you like to learn this Sutra of the Divine Feet? ”
Shaolin's "Yijin Jing" is famous all over the world. Whether it is shijie in "Smiling Proud Jianghu" or Shijie in the 21st century where Chen Sheng was born, this is no different. The difference is only that in "Smiling Proud Jianghu" shijie, "Yijin Jing" is the deepest secret method of internal strength in Shaolin. In Chen Sheng's own shijie, "Yijin Jing" is the most basic exercise method of Shaolin martial arts. The content is nothing more than stretching the limbs, combined with deep breathing, to make the body muscles and bones soft and relaxed, and that's it.
Don't underestimate this. Because all the movements of the human body are driven by the kinetic energy generated by the muscles from relaxation to contraction. The "strength" of martial arts is the process in which muscles can contract from extremely soft to extremely tight in a very short instant. Described in modern terms, it is called "explosive power". Therefore, although Shaolin martial arts go all the way, at the initial level, you still have to exercise the soft skills of the "Yijin Jing" first, and then you can develop fierce strength. Therefore, Shaolin martial arts, with the "Yijin Sutra" as the source of the hundred laws.
Hongmen martial arts belongs to the Shaolin lineage. Therefore, Chen Sheng has actually practiced this kind of yoga exercise "Yijin Sutra" a long time ago. Therefore, the martial artist has already decided that if he wants to practice advanced internal skills in "Smiling Proud Jianghu" shijie to make up for his shortcomings in martial arts, then there is only one goal, that is, "Yijin Jing".
In addition, when the warrior was in Fuzhou, he got the "Sword Spectrum to Ward Off Evil Spirits" from the old house of the Lin family in Xiangyang Lane. At that time, the system prompted that the "Sword Book of Warding Off Evil Spirits" and the fragments of the "Sunflower Treasure Book" in the hands of the Rì Yue Sect could be fused with each other, and there was a certain chance that the two secret books, which were also blue sè top-grade, could be upgraded to the lower grade of bright gold. In other words, if the Blue Sè Upper Grade could only help the cultivator to ascend to a level equivalent to a four-star intermediate or high rank, then the Bright Gold Lower Grade Secret Recipe would definitely be able to raise the cultivator to a level equivalent to a five-star lower rank.
This is a great ascension, and the significance is not trivial. Phrase classic words: In the star system of the Infinite God Domain, it is only a small step. But for competitors, it's a big step.
"Sunflower Treasure Book" and "Evil Warding Sword Spectrum" are from the same origin, so they can be fused with each other. So...... what about the Book of Changes? If you put the Yijin Sutra from two different shijie together at the same time, can they also be fused and upgraded? In addition, there are at least four or five shijie of the "Yijin Jing" that Chen Sheng himself knows. If all these "Yijin Sutras" with the same name and different names are put together, then in the end, how far can it be improved?
In order to confirm his conjecture, Chen Sheng had already made preliminary preparations on the journey to Shaolin Temple. He bought pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, recorded the "Yijin Jing" that he remembered in his heart, and bound it into a book. At first, I was a little worried that the secret tips written down by the competitors themselves might not be recognized by the Divine Domain. But it turned out that this worry was completely unnecessary.
