Songshan.

If it weren't for Zhang Wei, Li Mu would have come back here when he left Bay Island.

Before leaving Yanjing, Li Mu received an invitation from Sanhuangzhai, and Li Mu was naturally very interested in it.

There is an old saying that the world's martial arts come out of Shaolin.

And the master of Shaolin Kung Fu is all in the Three Emperors Village.

When he visited Wu in the past, Zhong Yunsheng told Li Mu.

The real masters in Wudang Mountain are often in seclusion in Zhongnan Mountain.

Wudang Mountain is the façade, and Zhongnan Mountain is the foundation.

It's the same when it comes to Shaolin.

Songshan Shaolin Temple is the façade, and the Three Emperors Village is their foundation.

And Li Mu came to Songshan this time, in addition to responding to the appointment of Sanhuangzhai, and secondly, he wanted to take the opportunity to solve a doubt in his heart.

Now one of the three Xuan books, "Yijin Sutra", Li Mu already has the whole book in his hand.

If it is interpreted, Li Mu can naturally interpret it, but before interpreting and studying, Li Mu still wants to see the masters of the birthplace of the "Yijin Sutra" with his own eyes, listen to their opinions with his own ears, and then consider formally studying the "Yijin Sutra".

In addition to the matter of "Yijin Sutra", the Miyagi Dongyuan encountered on this trip to Bay Island also brought Li Mu a great feeling.

The appearance of Miyagi Dongyuan made Li Mu realize that even outside of Huaxia, there was no shortage of top-level masters in this world.

Such a master, just like Zhong Yunsheng, just like the top of Wudang Mountain, the old man who practiced Taihe boxing for him, Dan Jin only stepped into the threshold of that level, but not the peak.

If nothing else, Li Mu's next itinerary will focus on overseas boundaries to pursue what Du Yue'e left back then.

And on this trip, there will only be more masters of this level, not less.

To be stronger, you have to get stronger!

This is the most important purpose of Li Mu's trip to Sanhuang Village!

……

Eight o'clock in the morning.

Li Mu did not take the route that tourists often come and go, but changed to an inaccessible mountain road, bypassed the main hall of Songshan Shaolin Temple, and went straight to the Three Emperors Village.

Although this path is not like the main road, with neat steps, towering Buddha statues, and thousand-year-old temples, the rugged mountain road and lush woods also have a unique flavor.

Three Emperor Village hangs on the mountainside, the main peak is more than 10,000 meters high, the mountain body is steep, only the top of the mountain is flat and wide, the landform has both Mount Tai and the majestic mountain, and there is the danger of Huashan Mountain, which can be called unique.

Along the mountain road all the way up, finally at the foot of Ruiying Peak, I saw a low-key and old plaque, on which five big characters were slowly written.

Three Emperors Village Zen Temple.

Seeing that he had finally arrived at his destination, Shepherd Li breathed a sigh of relief and walked forward.

As far as the eye can see, there is a spacious compound.

The weapons are piled up in the corner, countless low stone piles are arranged in a corner, in the middle is a large open space, and further inside is the cloister of tasting, looking along the end of the cloister, you can vaguely see several side halls and pavilions, scattered between the mountains and forests.

"This benefactor, I don't know what to visit?"

Just as Li Mu was curiously watching, a young monk walked up.

He was dressed in a gray monk's robe, his whole skin was dark black from the perennial sun, and his eyes were calm and serene.

"I was invited by Shi De'an to visit the Three Emperors Village."

Li Mu explained casually, and then handed the letter that Zhong Yunsheng had given him to the young monk in front of him.

As soon as he heard Shi De'an's name, the little monk was immediately in awe.

He took the invitation with respectful hands, and after confirming the notes, he immediately folded his hands and said respectfully: "Master Li, the master is doing morning exercises, please go to the side hall to rest for a while, and the poor monk will go and tell the family teacher." ”

"Okay."

Li Mu nodded, and followed the little monk into a side hall.

After the little monk poured tea for Li Mu, he turned around and left.

Li Mu drank tea while looking at the environment in this side hall.

Different from what I imagined, in this small side hall, there is no Buddha statue alone, there is only a faint smell of medicine in the air, and there is a calligraphy on the wall, on which are written three big characters, Zen martial arts.

Zen martial arts, also known as Zen doctors.

Li Mu had also heard the monks preach before, just like Wudang Taihe Boxing, Zen martial arts doctors pay attention to training the heart, mind, and qi, and the biggest purpose is not to fight, but to control their own hearts and minds.

This kind of martial arts is diametrically opposed to the pursuit of animal nature of kung fu, it advocates the control of one's anger, control one's own desires and emotions, so Zen martial arts is also the same as Taihe fist, which is a move that focuses on training the mind.

Of course, unlike Taihequan, which relies on natural pranayama, the study of Zen martial arts, in addition to practicing boxing and body, is often through meditation and medicine practice to hone the mind.

Meditation strengthens one's mind, and the practice of medicine makes one feel compassionate.

If the ultimate of Taihequan's kung fu is the avenue of Taishang's forgetfulness, the ultimate of Zen martial arts is the cheesiness of being integrated with Hongchen.

If you change the era, whether it is Wudang Taihequan or Shaolin Zen martial arts, Li Mu is very interested in learning, but the environment in which he practiced martial arts is completely different.

At that time, the land of China was devastated, and it was still a problem for people to even have enough to eat, let alone pursue the spiritual realm.

Therefore, Li Mu at that time resolutely threw himself into the Baji Boxing Sect.

Not for anything else, most of the people who studied Bajiquan at that time joined the army and were very effective, it can be said that on the road to the battlefield, only Bajiquan is the only one in the national arts, and every step is stable and solid.

Just when Li Mu recalled the past and was stunned, a monk walked in outside the door, he seemed to be in the prime of life, about forty or so, with a happy look on his face, just like Maitreya Buddha, who saw his smile, he would involuntarily laugh.

Li Mu came back to his senses, saw the monk standing in front of him, and hurriedly got up.

"You are Zen Master Shakde'an?"

"Zen master is not counted, I am just a hermit, that's all."

Shi De'an has a bit of an accent outside the gate, and he seems to be very cheerful.

He gestured to Li Mu to sit down, and then sat down on his own.

After the two of them sat down, Shi De'an spoke again.

"I heard Zhong Yunsheng say that Master Li Shi has been to Wudang Mountain and met Taihequan?"

"Yes, I did." Li Mu didn't hide it, but simply nodded.

Shi De'an said with a little emotion: "Taihe boxing is good, between the clouds and flowing water, the perception of the avenue of heaven and earth will be rehearsed, from simple to complex." ”

After a pause, Shi De'an shook his head again.

"The only drawback is that it's a little unkind, it's too high."

Li Mu nodded and echoed Shi De'an's statement.

Shi De'an smiled, and then said: "Since Master Li Shizhu has seen Taihe Fist, I don't know if he is interested, and then see the tricks inherited in the Three Emperors Village?" ”
