Chapter 2 Shaolin High Disciples

Since the last defeat to Kong Ling, Zhu Yu's fighting spirit seems to have been aroused all of a sudden, he practiced hard every day, and after another month, he actually opened up the Great Zhou Tian, and the next step, you can practice distributing external qi, but for some reason, he tried many times, but could not release the internal qi from the acupuncture points, he found Master Kong Xin to inquire, Kong Xin touched his head and said: "Qi is full of self-ease, this shows that your internal qi is not full enough, to release external qi, it will take time." ”

Zhu Yu has always blamed Lan Ling'er for being punished by her master, if it weren't for the competition she said, she wouldn't have been said by her master to be a brave and ruthless person, Lan Ling'er seemed to be aware of this and wanted to admit her mistake to Zhu Yu, but Zhu Yu kept avoiding her.

During this time, Kongyuan and Kongying became frequent visitors in Zhu Yu's meditation room, and the two would come to his room every night to teach him martial arts.

One day after Zhu Yu followed Kongxin to practice martial arts for three months, Zhu Yu was meditating and practicing qi in the back hall of the Dharma Academy with his senior brothers, and he suddenly felt that a huge air flow gushed out from the lower dantian, and he rushed straight to the Baihui acupoint through the jade pillow through the gate of life, and wanted to control it, but he couldn't control it, he only felt his head buzz and fainted.

When Zhu Yu woke up, it was already evening, and he found that he was sleeping on the bed in the meditation room, Lan Ling'er was sitting quietly on the edge of the bed, a few flatbreads and a plate of pickles neatly placed at the head of the bed. Seeing Zhu Yu wake up, Lan Ling'er said happily: "Brother Zhu Yu, you finally woke up, it really scared me to death, if you die, I don't know what to do!" Get up and grab a bite to eat. ”

"What's wrong with me?" Zhu Yu asked strangely. "It's okay, Master Kongxin said, it's because your internal qi is too strong, and you can't control it, so the internal qi goes up and hits the Baibaihui acupoint, and the master has pushed the palace blood for you, and it will be fine tomorrow." Lan Ling'er comforted.

At this time, Kong Yuan and Kong Ying, who came back from Jixiang Kitchen, also pushed the door in, and the two also comforted Zhu Yu, and said that Master Kong Xin told them that from tomorrow, they could go to the Mo Academy and practice martial arts with Zhu Yu and them, and when they heard the news, Zhu Yu and Lan Ling'er were both very happy.

On this day, Master Kongxin began to let Zhu Yu and others practice swords, Shaolin martial arts are unfathomable, pay attention to self-defense and fitness, so do not pay attention to the use of weapons, although the tricks of eighteen kinds of weapons, in the Shaolin library of books are recorded, but most Shaolin monks will not choose to practice other weapons, only practice the sword that is easy to carry.

Shaolin swordsmanship mainly has three major swordsmanship, each of which has thirty-six styles, which are the light spirit of chasing the wind swordsmanship, the heavy Vajra swordsmanship and the mantis arm swordsmanship, and the general practice of swordsmanship, the master will start from the Vajra swordsmanship, because the Vajra swordsmanship moves are simple, when the Vajra swordsmanship is practiced, it is much easier to practice the light and kitkat wind-chasing swordsmanship and the mantis arm swordsmanship, however, the people who practice martial arts can only defeat the enemy by laying a solid foundation of internal and external skills.

When learning the vajra sword technique, Zhu Yu and Lan Ling'er memorized the thirty-six swordsmanship in one day, but Kong Ling and Kong Xi took three full days, and the understanding of the four of them can be seen. In addition, since the last "competition", after a few days of "cold war", the relationship between Zhu Yu and Kongling seems to be closer, maybe this is called not fighting and not knowing each other.

In the blink of an eye, the long winter has passed, and spring has come unexpectedly, the magnolia flowers in front of the main hall of Shaolin Temple have spit out white and tender buds, and the willow tree next to the release pond at the entrance of the courtyard has also pulled out goose-yellow buds.

Since he practiced martial arts with Master Kongxin, Zhu Yu has never been out of the temple gate once, and he really wants to take a walk in the mountain behind the temple to see the flowers and trees in the mountains and forests, as well as those butterflies picking flowers, birds playing in the forest, and it is best to see monkeys swinging around on the branches.

When Zhu Yu said his thoughts, several friends agreed.

"I'll tell Master Kongxin about it!" Lan Ling'er volunteered.

"Wait, if Master Kongxin doesn't let us out of the temple, we won't be able to go!" Kongling has always had a lot of ideas.

"By the way, the last time I went out to work, I encountered a big tiger, and it was the senior brothers and uncles who struck the gong to scare the tiger away, so it seems that because of the tiger, the master will definitely not let us go out of the temple." The analysis of the empty edge is tantamount to pouring cold water on everyone.

"Where are so many tigers? Five days later, it was the first day of junior high school, the first day of junior high school did not go to the morning class and did not practice, in the morning at dawn, those who dared to go took a broom, someone asked and said that it was the master who let him go out to sweep the mountain behind Tallinn, and we met in Tallinn. "Kong Xi is the oldest, and he often makes up his mind when there are several people, and it is naturally up to him to decide such a major matter as going out behind his master's back.

Finally survived until the first day of the new year, early in the morning, the morning bell of the monastery had just rang, and the six of them came to Tallinn secretly.

Shaolin Tallinn is composed of the pagoda that buries the Shaolin monks of the past dynasties, the horizontal and vertical pagoda, occupies one hundred and ten acres of land, has always been the forbidden land of Shaolin, six people do not dare to go in, feel the dark from one side into the Shaolin back mountain.

Like a caged bird being released, the six people followed the path that the monks of the Shaolin Temple had come out of to collect firewood for thousands of years, played hide and seek in the mountains, and went to the creek to turn over the crabs.

"Let's go back! I'm so hungry. "People in the air are fat, and they are particularly impatient with hunger.

"It's only been out once, let's play a little longer!" Zhu Yu hasn't had enough fun yet.

"Look, what is this?" I don't know when, Lan Ling'er had a few more wheat flour cakes in her hand. It turned out that Lan Ling'er was careful and knew that she wanted to go out to play, and every day when she went to the fasting room to eat, she secretly hid cakes and brought them back, one a day, just six.

Found a high slope on the edge of the cliff, six people leaned against the cliff to start "lunch", they chose such a place, is to prevent the attack of fierce beasts, it seems that although the fun is fun, but there has been a tiger in the back mountain, everyone has not forgotten.

After eating the cakes, several people decided to rest against the cliff for a while, after all, they were a little tired from running around this morning, but suddenly they heard the sound of "hum, hum" in the dense forest not far away.

Hearing the sound, everyone couldn't help but sigh in their hearts, it was some beast hiding in the forest and peeping at them.

"Quick, climb up, it's the tiger, the tiger is coming." Zhu Yu exclaimed.

In the dense forest of Lion Rock, there are often tigers, Zhu Yu not only heard the tiger hum, but also heard the roar of the tiger, once, he went down the mountain with his parents to the city, and also saw the tiger from afar, however, the master said that the tiger generally does not eat people, unless it is a very hungry tiger, and the hungry tiger is particularly ferocious.

Hearing Zhu Yu say that the tiger was coming, the five of them hurriedly turned around and climbed up the cliff quickly, fortunately, although everyone was only eight or nine years old, they had practiced kung fu and could climb up the cliff.

Just when Lan Ling'er and the others climbed to a height of more than ten zhang on the cliff, expecting that if there were really tigers, it would be impossible to catch them so high and turned their heads to look down, and found that Zhu Yu, who had been climbing up with everyone, had slipped down at some point, and just a few feet away from him, a huge tiger was staring at two big eyes, opening its bloody mouth, humming, and pressing towards Zhu Yu step by step.

At this moment, Zhu Yu was already at a loss, looking at the tiger blankly, and had no strength to turn around and climb the cliff.

At this moment, between Zhu Yu and the tiger, there was suddenly a yellow-robed monk of medium stature, aged sixty or seventy.

Where did the monk come from, none of the six people could see clearly, as if in the blink of an eye, the monk suddenly appeared in front of them. Zhu Yu thought he was dazzled, and rubbed his eyes vigorously, but the monk was still standing in front of him clearly.

The tiger was about to pounce on Zhu Yu, but he didn't expect that there would suddenly be an extra person in front of him, and it was instantly enraged, and it pounced on the monk with its teeth and claws.

Seeing the tiger pounced, the monk did not dodge, but saw him wave his right hand, and hit a palm against the tiger's face, only to hear a "bang" sound, the tiger's head was in the palm, flew high, and fell into the woods more than ten zhang away, and there was no sound.

The old monk repelled the tiger, turned to the six and smiled: "Children, the tiger has been killed by me, everyone come down!" ”

Seeing that the old monk easily slapped his palm, he beat the tiger to death, and the six people were stunned, and when the old monk called for the second time, he slowly climbed down from the cliff and walked in front of the old monk.

"Thank you for Master Xie's life-saving grace, I don't know what the master is called?" Zhu Yu was taught by his parents since he was a child, and he followed Master Kongshi for four years, and he knew a lot about the world, and he was rescued by the old monk today, so he wanted to say something thanks.

"Haha, the old monk is empty, he is the same senior brother of your master of emptiness, he has nothing to do when he is old, he lives in seclusion here, you go back quickly, otherwise your master will be worried." Master Kongkong spoke like pouring beans from a bamboo tube, not at all like the monks in the temple, so Zhu Yu also had the courage to ask: "Master Kongkong, your kung fu is really good at fighting tigers, can you teach us one and a half moves?" ”

"Kung Fu to fight tigers? Haha, fighting a tiger is nothing, as long as you have trained your internal strength, even ten tigers at once can kill them all in one palm. Hearing what Master Kongkong said, the six of them were even more surprised, but they still regretted that their brains were spinning fast, and they suddenly knelt down and kowtowed to Master Kongkong again and again: "Master Kongkong, you can accept us as apprentices!" Seeing that Kongxi knelt down to apprentice, the five of them also knelt down together.

"Let's all get up, you just follow the practice taught by Master Kongxin, and we will meet again." After the empty air finished speaking, he disappeared in an instant.

Buddhism pays attention to the word fate, since the master of the empty sky said goodbye, it can only wait for the "fate" to say.

The six of them went down the hill without regret, worried that tigers or other fierce beasts would appear again, and ran back to Shaolin without looking back.

Six people were unexpectedly punished by Master Kongxin, Kongxin asked them to pick up fifty loads of water to the release pond in one day, the stream to get water to the release pond is more than 300 zhang away, fortunately the bucket is small, six people from morning to night, to complete the task, although tired back pain, but still can't hide the excitement, because the six people met the empty master, know that Shaolin kung fu is so powerful, which inspired their determination to practice martial arts, but unfortunately, the empty master did not want to accept them as apprentices.

Next, Master Kongxin began to teach Zhu Yu, Lan Ling'er, Kongling, and Kongxi Qinggong, because they were all able to release external qi, and light gong was actually the process of improving those who practiced martial arts by issuing external qi.

At the beginning, the four of them tried their best, but they couldn't hold themselves up with their qi, because everyone's internal strength was insufficient, so during this time, several people began to strengthen the cultivation of internal force.

Finally one day, when Zhu Yu was meditating in his meditation room at night, his body involuntarily floated up, and the height was three feet from the bed, he couldn't help but get excited, but this excitement, the true qi in his body suddenly disappeared, and he fell heavily on the bed. Zhu Yu remembered that Master Kongxin had repeatedly warned that the cultivation of internal strength must be done without distractions, otherwise the qi will be blocked, which is not only difficult to improve the skill, but also will go mad if it is not done well, so he learned a lesson, once again fell into meditation, with the increase of external qi, he flew up again, this time, his head almost hit the beam.

After another half a month, Lan Ling'er, Kongling, and Kongxi can also vacate the air, everyone's light skills are considered to be introductory, and in the next step, as long as you practice diligently, the level of light skills can be improved step by step.

Time is like an arrow, in the blink of an eye, Zhu Yu has been in Shaolin for more than five years, at this time Zhu Yu and Lan Ling'er are already the best of the Shaolin juniors, although their internal skills are not outstanding, but they have surpassed Kongling and Kongxi, and the Kongyuan and Kongying that they practiced after the two of them were thrown farther away by the two, and they were even able to compete with the senior brothers who were four or five years older than the two.

What's even more rare is that Zhu Yu and Lan Ling'er's swordsmanship is also very proficient, in a competition with his senior brothers, Zhu Yu won five people in a row, Lan Ling'er has also beaten three or two master brothers in swordsmanship, of course, Master Kong Xin has not taught them more advanced Shaolin martial arts, Kong Xin said, their basic skills are still far behind.

Shaolin Temple is the Central Plains martial arts authentic, in addition to the Bodhidharma Patriarch from India to bring to the Buddhist martial arts "Yijin Sutra", there have also been Indian monks to Shaolin, brought Buddhist martial arts classics, of course, there are also a lot of Shaolin monks, according to their own martial arts experience, written martial arts classics, these, are hidden in the Shaolin Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, guarded by senior monks, ordinary people can not consult, so most of the martial arts classics are only recorded on paper, and no one has learned.

It is precisely because of the miscellaneous Shaolin martial arts and the depth of the martial arts classics that for more than a thousand years, there are too many people who aspire to become martial arts people who hope to worship Shaolin monks as teachers and practice Shaolin kung fu.

In order to make the monks more consciously practice martial arts, every year after the fifteenth day of the first month, the Shaolin Temple has to inspect the disciples' martial arts cultivation, and those who pass the inspection can practice the next level of more advanced martial arts.

Early in the morning, Zhu Yu and Lan Ling'er came to Damo Academy early, and the two of them were very excited, hoping to pass the test smoothly, so that they could practice more advanced Shaolin exercises with Master Kongxin, so that the time for practicing martial arts in Shaolin Temple could be shortened, and they could leave Shaolin as soon as possible to do what they should do.

Kong Xin took his disciples to Shaolin Hou Mountain, there is a large lawn, the southeast and north sides of the lawn are open land, there is a huge cliff wall with a height of 100 zhang in the west, a waterfall floats down the cliff, falls into a pool next to the lawn, and then next to the lawn, flows into the Shaolin Temple, and then flows from the ditch on the side of the main hall of the Shaolin Temple to the slope outside the temple.

The first content is to assess the light skills of the disciples, first seven disciples in their forties, sat cross-legged on the lawn, closed their eyes and settled down, after a while, Master Kongxin said "go", seven people suddenly took off in the spot, flew out of the direction of the waterfall seven or eight zhang, feet a little ground, and flew out of four or five zhang to the cliff, and then, seven people went up vertically, climbed the cliff next to the waterfall, after a few ups and downs, seven people arrived at the top of the cliff, paused at the top of the cliff, and fell from the top of the cliff together, without the help of any external force, fell to the place where they meditated before.

Zhu Yu and Lan Ling'er, as well as the six people of Kongyuan, Kongying, Kongling, and Kongxi, couldn't help but be extremely surprised when they saw the light skills of the seven, they didn't expect that the senior brothers who get along with each other every day and night would have such skills, thinking that they didn't know when they would be able to compare with the senior brothers, and their hearts were half cold.

Next is the performance of the brothers in their thirties and twenties, many of whom just climbed to the middle of the cliff, and when they fall, they also have to use the protruding stones of the cliff to slow down the fall, and their skills are obviously much weaker.

When it was the turn of Zhu, Yulan Ling'er and the four senior brothers to assess, everyone could only fly out of the ground a little three or two zhang, and when climbing the cliff, they could only climb four or five zhang before they were able to climb up.

No one is vague in the assessment of light skills, everyone has passed, the next is to learn swordsmanship, Kong Xin let the disciples of the same age group each group, one by one to catch and fight, Zhu Yu first fought against the empty pity, the empty pity, Zhu Yu practiced Shaolin swordsmanship earlier, but before Zhu Yu won the senior brother of the previous generation in swordsmanship, the swordsmanship is better than his own, so as soon as the empty pity came up, he used the thirty-fourth move of the thirty-six moves of the Vajra swordsmanship: King Kong meditates, this is the killing move in the Vajra swordsmanship, which can only be used as a last resort, of course, to learn swordsmanship, There is no such limitation.

I saw that the empty pity twisted his body, swung the sword straight at Zhu Yu's legs, this sword move to cut the legs with the sword is a false move, the actual move is when the opponent avoids or uses a weapon to block the plate, suddenly changes the move and stabs the opponent's chest, so that the opponent is caught off guard and hit.

Zhu Yu already knew the three sets of Shaolin swordsmanship, and saw through the empty moves at a glance, his body stepped back slightly, and he raised his sword to protect his chest in advance.

Seeing Zhu Yu using a sword to protect his chest, he knew that if he stabbed Zhu Yu at this moment, he would definitely be blocked and resolved by him, so he immediately changed his move, and when he withdrew the sword, he used a move to look at the moon and stab Zhu Yu in the face.
