After Dongfang Sheng left, Abbot Xuan Ci looked around and asked,""Junior Brothers, what do you think?"
"After Senior Abbot's investigation, this Donor Dongfang indeed has no foundation in internal energy," said Xuan Ji, who was sitting on the right. Observing his movements, his lower body was empty and his footsteps were disorderly. Moreover, there were no calluses between his thumb and forefinger, and he didn't seem to have learned weapons.”
"Yes, it's impossible to say that he sneaked into Shaolin Temple with ill intentions." If someone uses Lightness Skill to break into the inner court of Shaolin Temple, the masters of the temple are as numerous as clouds, and the sound of breaking through the air will certainly alarm everyone. From this, it seemed that this benefactor had indeed entered the inner court unintentionally, and no one had noticed.”
"I've checked the bronze mirror in the Bodhi Yard," Xuan Ji continued."The mirror and the scripture behind it have no traces of being touched."”
The abbot nodded and said," Almsgiver Dongfang's circumstances are bizarre, but it doesn't sound suspicious. If he really wanted to sneak into our temple, he wouldn't have made up such a special background." It seemed like it was indeed a misunderstanding. We were just making a fuss."
Xuan Tong said," This person appeared in the Bodhi Yard. The Tendon Changing Scripture hidden in the yard was passed down personally by Patriarch Bodhidharma. It is the temple's treasure. It is only right to be so careful."”
The abbot stood up and said,"In the future, we'll just send some disciples to guard it." Junior Brothers, please return."
The night was silent.
Early in the morning, Dongfang Sheng got up early. After washing up, he couldn't wait to go find Master Xuan Ku from yesterday. Firstly, although this mental cultivation method was only the beginning of internal energy, it was still extremely mysterious to Dongfang Sheng. Secondly, he was afraid that if he practiced too late, the root of the problem would be broken.
Seeing Dongfang Sheng like this, Xuan Ku was even more convinced that this person came from overseas. This was because the method of Qi circulation and breathing was widely spread in Jianghu. This introductory mental cultivation method was really nothing. The internal energy of any sect was much more profound than this.
Since Dongfang Sheng knew nothing about internal energy, Xuan Ku started from the most basic meridians and acupoints. One was diligent in learning while the other was meticulous in teaching. After a few days, Dongfang Sheng had completely mastered the theory of internal energy. After all, Dongfang Sheng was a modern university student. He knew how to learn and the importance of building a good theoretical foundation. Therefore, he asked questions whenever he didn't understand anything. He didn't have any rules about internal energy. Some questions also aroused Xuan Ku's interest. Xuan Ku completely dissected the various understandings and experiences of internal energy. Four or five days had passed. Although he had not learned the basic mental cultivation method, Dongfang Sheng's understanding of meridians, acupoints, and internal energy had long surpassed that of ordinary experts in the martial arts world. Of course, it was also because Shaolin was worthy of being the orthodox martial arts in the world. If it was other experts who gave pointers, it would be difficult to explain it as clearly as Xuan Ku. He might even be bombarded by Dongfang Sheng's endless questions until he vomited blood.
After the theoretical foundation was laid out, it was natural for Dongfang Sheng to cultivate the introductory technique. In just half a day, Dongfang Sheng was able to circulate his Qi freely and began to repair his slightly blocked Hand Taiyin Lung Meridian. When Dongfang Sheng finally opened his eyes, he saw Xuan Ku looking at him strangely.
"Grandmaster?" Dongfang Sheng felt a little unnatural under Xuan Ku's gaze.
Xuan smiled bitterly and patted Dongfang Sheng's shoulder." Haha, you're really a genius in martial arts. You can actually circulate your neixi freely within a day." Although the world was big, there were only a handful of people with such talent.”However, he turned around and said sadly,"It's a pity. Although you have excellent talent, you're already past the age of martial arts enlightenment."”
Dongfang Sheng was already twenty-five years old. From Xuan Ku's perspective, he had no hope of becoming a first-rate expert. Dongfang Sheng didn't think too much about it. After he came to this era, he had also thought about how to live. Although he had the idea of becoming a martial arts master, he had rejected this idea. How could high-grade martial arts be learned just because one wanted to? For example, in Shaolin Temple, among the four generations of Xuan, Hui, Xu, and Kong, only a dozen eminent monks of the Xuan generation could really learn high-level martial arts. All of them were already in their sixties and spent their entire lives on martial arts. It would be a waste of their lives to wait until they were seventy or eighty years old before they could make a name for themselves. Xuan Ku was telling him now that he had no hope of becoming an expert at all. It was just making him give up a little more.
Although Dongfang Sheng was very open-minded, Xuan Ku still felt sorry for him. He shook his head and said, If benefactor had practiced martial arts 15 years earlier, your current achievements would have surpassed my disciple Qiao Feng."
"Boom!" Dongfang Sheng felt as if his brain had been struck by lightning.! Qiao Feng was his disciple? Ah, his Dharma name was Xuan Ku! That abbot is Xuan Ci! Damn it, why did I only react now!”Dongfang Sheng finally realized that he was not in the Song Dynasty in history, but in the Song Dynasty of the Eight Dragons!
Xuan Ku turned around and saw Dongfang Sheng's expression changing. He quickly pointed his finger and a warm inner force entered his body, waking Dongfang Sheng up from his chaotic thoughts. It turned out that Dongfang Sheng's foundation was not stable. The Internal Breath he had just cultivated was out of control due to his lack of concentration. It ran amok in his meridians. Fortunately, the Internal Breath was too weak to cause Qi deviation. With Xuan Ku taking care of him, nothing happened.
Dongfang Sheng calmed himself down. In order to hide the shock in his heart, he thanked Xuan Ku,"Thank you for your help, Master. I was disappointed and uneasy just now, causing my inner breath to go out of control.”
When Xuan Ku heard this, he thought that he was disappointed because he had no hope of becoming an expert, so he comforted him and said to him,"One's inner force cultivation must be focused on one's inner force. The most dangerous thing is to lose one's mind, and if it is serious, one's life will be in danger.”Dongfang Sheng was naturally humble.
A few days later, Dongfang Sheng had practiced the mental cultivation method to perfection and his meridians had recovered. He went to pay his respects to Abbot Xuan Ci. Dongfang Sheng met Xuan Ci for the second time after entering the meditation room. Although Xuan Ci had not changed much, she was different in Dongfang Sheng's eyes. Xuan Ci was Xuzhu's biological father. He was in Shaolin with Xuzhu, but they couldn't recognize each other. In the end, he was forced to die with Ye Erniang. Dongfang Sheng couldn't help but shake his head. Although he knew what had happened, there was nothing he could do now. "I hope I can stop Xiao Yuanshan in the future.”Dongfang Sheng thought to himself. But with Xiao Yuanshan's martial arts, what could he do? Thinking of this, Dongfang Sheng clenched his fists and became even more determined about his next step.
"Greetings, Abbot."
"Oh? Almsgiver Dongfang. You look much better after not seeing you for a few days. How are your injuries?"
"I have already recovered. Thank you, Abbot.”
"This matter was caused by my temple," Xuan Ci said."I should have apologized to you, benefactor. How can I deserve this word of thanks?"”
Dongfang Sheng took a step forward and said to the abbot,""Grandmaster, I have a request.”
"Oh? Benefactor, feel free to speak."
Dongfang Sheng secretly changed his aura and tried his best to speak calmly,""I want to copy a few scriptures in the Tripitaka Block.”
Xuan Ci's eyes flashed when he heard this." Patron, you want to go to the Sutra Depository?”
"That's right. All the Buddhist scriptures I know since I was young were passed down by my grandfather and are in a mess, so I want to copy some.”
There were seventy-two unique arts of Shaolin in the Sutra Depository, and everyone coveted it. Therefore, the Sutra Depository was considered one of the forbidden areas of Shaolin. However, Shaolin Temple had always been filled with experts. Shaolin monks did not think that anyone could break into the Sutra Library and steal books, so there was no special defense in the Sutra Library. There were only four monks guarding the library. The temple rules did not state that the Sutra Library was not allowed to enter. Therefore, Xuan Ci had no reason to stop Dongfang Sheng from going to the Sutra Depository. If he insisted on not going, it would appear that Shaolin Temple was too petty.
Xuan Ci frowned slightly, then remembered that Dongfang Sheng had no martial arts skills, so she relaxed and said,""Benefactor, please wait a moment. I will send someone to lead the way for you.”
Dongfang Sheng followed behind Huiming, who was sent by the abbot to lead the way. "Hehe, although it's a little suspicious for an outsider like me to want to go to the Scripture Depository to read, sending a second-generation disciple of the Hui generation to monitor me is thinking too highly of me.”Dongfang Sheng thought as he walked. He arrived at the entrance of the Sutra Depository.
Shaolin Temple's Sutra Depository was also an important place in the martial arts world. To Dongfang Sheng, this place was even more mysterious. This was because the Scripture Depository that he knew of had an additional secret compared to the Scripture Depository in the eyes of others. It also had an additional expert who might be the number one expert in the world. The seventy-two ultimate techniques that shocked the martial arts world seemed insignificant.
Thinking of the sweeping monk, Dongfang Sheng couldn't help but have many thoughts: Who was this nameless monk? A senior expert from Shaolin? That was impossible, because the nameless monk had said that he had only come here sixty or seventy years ago, and none of the monks of this generation in Shaolin knew him. Therefore, the nameless monk must be an expert sent out. When he hid in Shaolin, he was only about 30 years old. To be able to have such a cultivation at the age of thirty, to be able to sneak into Shaolin without being discovered, which sect in the world had such an expert? Could it be…that Carefree Sect? If he was, then he should be Wu Yazi's peer. He had never heard of such a person before. He hadn't had the chance to ask Hero Jin before. It seemed that he would have to ask the person directly in the future. Dongfang Sheng wanted to laugh at his own thoughts.
Pausing in front of the Sutra Depository, Dongfang Sheng took a deep breath and muttered to himself,""Scripture Depository, don't disappoint me.”He followed Huiming and entered through the main entrance.
