That night, Dongfang Sheng was meditating in his meditation room. Ever since he had survived the great disaster of going up and down the cliff, Dongfang Sheng found that he had become very fond of this method of meditation. If a Shaolin monk were to see this, he would definitely be in awe. This was because it was inevitable for humans to have many distracting thoughts in their hearts. Without more than ten years of bitter cultivation, how could they have such meditation skills? Moreover, even if it was the meditation of an ordinary senior monk, there would still be a last trace of obsession in his heart that he could not let go. This was the last layer of window paper before enlightenment. Dongfang Sheng, on the other hand, had taken the most crucial step between life and death, and had achieved the great success of the Nine Yang Divine Skill in his body. He had entered the path through martial arts. While meditating, Dongfang Sheng seemed to be unable to sense anything, including himself. It was as if everything was within his senses. There was no longer any barrier between him and heaven and earth. He was one with them, just like a drop of water that had merged into the ocean.
Just as Dongfang Sheng was immersed in this mysterious state, a light sound from the roof of the other party's meditation room broke the silence like a stone falling into water, waking Dongfang Sheng up from his meditation. The sound was actually very soft, and it was more than ten feet away from Dongfang Sheng's room. Normally, Dongfang Sheng would not have noticed it even if his internal energy was twice as strong. In fact, Dongfang Sheng did not hear it with his ears. When he entered a meditative state just now, he had already severed his five senses. However, he seemed to be able to see the scene of a person flying through the air and gently tapping on the eaves of the house.
"Who could it be?" Dongfang Sheng thought to himself. Although the Shaolin Temple was considered a dragon's pool and tiger's den in the martial arts world, where there were so many experts that even birds could not cross it, it was far from the case in Dongfang Sheng's heart. At least Xiao Yuan Shan, Murong Bo, and Xiao Feng could come and go freely here. Dongfang Sheng pushed open the window and saw a black shadow flash past. He immediately activated his lightness skill and quietly followed him out.
The man in black flew high and low in the Shaolin Temple without stopping. It seemed that he was very familiar with the terrain of Shaolin Temple. Dongfang Sheng followed behind him. In the blink of an eye, the two of them had traveled three to four miles and arrived at the pagoda forest of Shaolin Temple. The man in black suddenly landed on an empty spot in the forest and stood still. Dongfang Sheng hurriedly took a breath in the air and hid himself in the dark behind the tower dozens of feet away.
The man in black snorted coldly,"Hiding your head and showing your tail is the work of a rat."”
Dongfang Sheng knew that he had been discovered. He walked out from behind the tower with a smile and bowed to the man in black."Seeing that Uncle is healthy, I am very happy.”He had already seen the familiar figure of the black-clothed man. When he heard his voice just now, he recognized Xiao Yuanshan.
Xiao Yuanshan turned around and glanced at Dongfang Sheng.""It's you again. Not bad, not bad. Your martial arts have improved again. You can actually discover my whereabouts.”
"I still can't hide it from Uncle," Dongfang Sheng replied humbly.”
"My surname is Xiao," said Xiao Yuanshan. By the way, why are you in Shaolin's inner court?”
" I'm here to return Shaolin's lost Yijinjing," Dongfang Sheng replied." It can also be considered as resolving the misunderstanding between Qiao…uh, Brother Xiao and Shaolin."”
Xiao Yuanshan's eyes gleamed when he heard the name of Yijin Jing. "Tendon Changing Classic? It was actually stolen out of the temple?" How could Xiao Yuanshan not know the name of Tendon Changing Classic? He had been in seclusion in Shaolin Temple for decades and had read through the martial arts scriptures of the seventy-two ultimate skills, but he could not find the Yijin Scripture. How could he not be moved by Dongfang Sheng's words? "Have you returned the scriptures to Shaolin?" he asked anxiously. Do you remember the contents of the sutra?"
"I've read the Muscle-bone Strengthening Scripture before," Dongfang Sheng said."But the scriptures are written in Sanskrit, so I can't understand them." It would only increase his troubles if he put it in his hands. It was better to return it to Shaolin.”
Xiao Yuanshan did not think much of it. He thought to himself that even if he did not know Sanskrit, there were so many monks in the world. It was not difficult to catch those who knew Sanskrit to translate for him. Who would have thought that such a martial arts treasure would be handed over by Dongfang Sheng so casually? He couldn't help but sigh. Now that the Tendon Changing Classic had been stolen, Shaolin would definitely be more careful in collecting the Tendon Changing Classic in the future. It seemed that he was not fated to have this martial arts world book.
Seeing Xiao Yuanshan's expression, Dongfang Sheng naturally knew that Xiao Yuanshan was regretting that he had given away the martial arts scripture that he had tried so hard to obtain. Suddenly, he remembered that Xiao Yuanshan had forcefully practiced Young Master Lin's martial arts and was already suffering from a hidden illness. He had already made up his mind, so he asked,"May I know why Uncle Xiao has come to Shaolin?”
Xiao Yuanshan did not hide anything and said coldly,""I came to Shaolin for the seventy-two ultimate skills in their Sutra Depository.”
"Uncle Xiao, there's something I don't understand." Dongfang Sheng asked. Back then, outside Yanmen Pass, his uncle single-handedly fought against dozens of martial arts masters from the Central Plains, including Wang Jiantong, Xuan Ci, and other famous figures. Logically speaking, his uncle's martial arts were already extremely powerful back then. Why did he still ask for help from others to learn Shaolin's martial arts?”
"Hmph!" Xiao Yuanshan laughed bitterly. Back then, they wrongly accused me of coming to Shaolin to steal the scriptures and kill my wife and clansmen. I, Xiao Yuanshan, will not rest until the end. I want to learn all the Shaolin martial arts. Now, it was too late to ambush them outside Yanmen Pass.”
Dongfang Sheng finally understood. It turned out that Xiao Yuanshan was born with a stubborn personality. He learned Shaolin Kung Fu not only because he admired the 72 unique skills, but also as revenge for the ambush at Yanmen Pass 30 years ago.
"I have done some research on Shaolin martial arts. It seems that practicing Shaolin martial arts is harmful to the body. Uncle, you should be careful.”
Xiao Yuanshan was surprised and asked,""How do you know?" Over the past ten years, as his attainments in Shaolin martial arts deepened, several meridians in his body began to feel numb. Hearing Dongfang Sheng's words, he was naturally shocked.
"This is the conclusion I came up with when I was discussing martial arts with Master Xuan Ku in Shaolin.”
"It seems that you're right, nephew." Xiao Yuanshan asked again. In the past ten years, I have felt pain in several major acupoints every day, and my meridians have become numb. Nephew, do you know why?"
Dongfang Sheng was stumped. He didn't believe the nameless old monk's theory that " Kung Fu needs to be dissolved by Buddhism ". Even if he said it, Xiao Yuanshan might not believe it. Dongfang Sheng fell into deep thought. According to the nameless old monk, the seventy-two ultimate skills were too powerful and too murderous. They hurt the heavens and hurt themselves, so they had to be resolved with Buddhism. However, there were more than 72 ultimate skills in the world. Moreover, they were both practicing Shaolin martial arts. Xiao Yuanshan and Murong Bo had injured themselves, but Jiu Mozhi was fine. Well, Jiu Mozhi was using the Minor Non-Phase Method to drive Shaolin martial arts, but in this way, the power and killing intent were not weakened, which showed that the nameless monk's words were purely a bluff.”Thinking of this, Dongfang Sheng was certain that the truth was not what the nameless monk had said. Suddenly, he was enlightened."Ah…! It must be internal energy. That's right, that Jiu Mozhi only used the seventy-two ultimate techniques on the surface and the Minor Non-Phase Method on the inside, so he was fine. After forcefully practicing the Yi Jin Jing, his meridians were also in chaos. Therefore, it must be because of the internal energy of Shaolin's martial arts.? Hmm, it must be Shaolin martial arts. One must build their foundation with Shaolin's basic internal arts before they can practice it. As for what the nameless monk said about Xuan Cheng being disabled from practicing martial arts, it was just an ordinary Qi deviation, which was different from Xiao Yuanshan and Murong Bo.”
After figuring this out, Dongfang Sheng smiled and said to Xiao Yuanshan,""I'm afraid that only people with pure Shaolin internal strength can practice Shaolin martial arts. Uncle had already had a profound internal energy thirty years ago, so there was a conflict with the seventy-two unique arts.”As he spoke, he thought of the introductory mental cultivation method he had learned when he first arrived at Shaolin."If it wasn't for that introductory mental cultivation technique, I'm afraid that my Nine Yang Divine Technique wouldn't have been able to be cultivated so smoothly.”He couldn't help but feel lucky.
Xiao Yuanshan was distressed when he heard this. He had spent more than 30 years on Shaolin martial arts, but who knew that it would end up like this? "Nephew, do you know how to resolve it?" he asked Dongfang Sheng.”
Dongfang Shengxin thought that perhaps only the nameless old monk would understand. However, he couldn't say it out loud. Otherwise, how could he explain it? He shook his head and sighed,""I don't know how to resolve it, but if uncle doesn't use Shaolin martial arts anymore, I'm afraid your internal injuries won't worsen. Forgive me for being blunt, but your uncle's martial arts were so high that he was able to intimidate everyone. So what if you don't use Shaolin martial arts?”
Xiao Yuanshan smiled bitterly when he heard this and said,"You might not know this, but it's a long story.”
"I'd like to hear the details," Dongfang Sheng said.”
"I met my master in the valley beside the tribe when I was twelve," Xiao Yuanshan slowly recalled. His martial arts are so high that I still can't measure it. However, his temper was also very strange. When he taught me martial arts back then, he said that he saw that my foundation was excellent and that I had a chance to be his opponent in twenty years. But he never taught me martial arts."
" Ah?!..." Dongfang Sheng couldn't react in time." Never taught martial arts?”
"You can't say that." Xiao Yuanshan chuckled. Master only taught me a breathing technique, but he didn't let me meditate. Every day, he made me run wildly in the mountains while practicing the breathing technique. In these eight years, he never taught me any martial arts. He only made me split rocks and punch trees. I went to ask for advice on martial arts moves, but Master always said that attacking the opponent's weakness would win. Why use those tricks? This continued until I was twenty-five years old. I couldn't even take a single move from Master. Master suddenly lost his temper and said that although my foundation was good, my comprehension was too low. He chased me out of the valley.”
Dongfang Sheng finally understood and thought to himself,""As expected of Xiao Yuanshan's master.”
Xiao Yuanshan sighed." Back then, at Yanmen Pass, I was envious of those martial artists from the Central Plains. That's why I sneaked into Shaolin Temple and learned martial arts scriptures secretly after surviving the disaster."”
Dongfang Sheng was just about to speak when Xiao Yuanshan suddenly said," Forget it ". He turned around and went down the mountain. In a few ups and downs, he disappeared without a trace.
