Little Siqi's hunting range wasn't big, only a few hundred meters around the mountain peak. This was also a mandatory rule. Although he had been practicing martial arts for more than three years, he was still young and was in the Foundation Establishment stage. If he really encountered wolves, tigers, leopards, and other large animals, it would be very dangerous.
Although it had never appeared in the vicinity, there were some in the primeval forest further away. It was just that this part of the mountain peak was very steep, and it was generally difficult to climb up.
He walked slowly in the forest. From time to time, there would be wild rabbits running away. However, the birds and pheasants on the branches didn't react much. They thought that since they were so high up in the ground, there wouldn't be any danger. When Little Siqi saw that prey had appeared, he took the small bow from his back and took out an arrow from the quiver beside him. This set of things was bought by a hunter at the foot of the mountain. He was afraid that he wouldn't have fun alone on the mountain every day. He could practice his martial arts and also relieve his boredom…
At this moment, a rabbit by a tree in front of them saw someone approaching and looked around to see which direction to run in. It said that it was fast at times, but it was slow at other times. It only saw Little Si Qi draw his bow and pull it back. The bow and arrow shot out with a swoosh, and the arrow hit the target. He ran over and saw that the rabbit was already dead.”He pulled out the arrow shaft, put it back into the quiver, grabbed the rabbit, and began to walk back. On the way, he shot another pheasant. When they reached the plateau at the top of the mountain, they saw a light in the cave. Master is back, thought Little Si Qi.
" Master! Master!" Little Si Qi shouted as he ran over.
A figure walked out of the cave. Who else could it be but the wild monk?
"Disciple, have you finished your homework for today?”"I'm done. I'm very familiar with Arhat Fist now. Master, when are you going to teach me new kung fu?"”
" I just want to learn kung fu. Have you copied the scriptures? How's the acupoint map? Only those who can fight are the talents of generals," Liao Fan scolded jokingly.
"It's also completed." As he spoke, he took out the scriptures and acupoint map that he had copied in the afternoon from his room." Alright, then I'll test you. First, go outside and practice a set of Arhat Fist.”
Come to the flat
Little Si Qi stood in the middle and made the starting posture of Arhat Fist. He reached the Primordial Qi, Immortal Palm Pushing Clouds, Three Plate Landing, Two Hands Towering the Sky, Ox Flower Supporting Leaves, Looking Forward, Immortal Ape Picking Fruits, Stealing the Sky and Changing the Sun, Spiritual Monkey Protecting the Brain, Pushing the Window to Search for the Moon, Retracting Claws to Hide the Edge, Fierce Tiger Pouncing on Its Food, Returning Wind to Bounce Water, Overturning the Sea and Pushing the Mountain, Double Peaks Piercing Clouds, Black Tiger Gathering Heart, Solitary Penetration of Three Terrace, Cold Separation Supreme. He practiced one move after another. He was not panting and his body did not move. It was as if he had not moved at all. I'm glad to see you. To be able to reach such a level in three years was considered rare.
"Master, what do you think of my training?”
" Good, good, good!" Liao Fan laughed.
"Then can you teach me other martial arts?”
"My dear disciple, you must not underestimate this Arhat Fist.”
"Martial arts are known throughout the world. Wudang is the spiritual master, and Shaolin is the physical master. And Arhat Fist is actually Shaolin's inner martial arts, which is a secret of inner martial arts. The Arhat Fist was created by the Indian monk Bodhidharma. The ancient primitive Arhat Fist was different from the so-called Arhat Fist today. It was the orthodox patriarch system of the various schools of Shaolin. And what you're learning now is the Primitive Luo Fist.”
"I see. No wonder it's so difficult for me to practice. It seems that when I practice Arhat Fist, my Yiyuan Skill of Muscle Tendon Changing will also slowly run automatically and stop with the fist technique."
"Oh, you've already reached the realm of six meridians of qi? Good, not bad. Fanxin was secretly delighted. Back then, he had spent six years to cultivate to the realm of six meridians of qi. This kid had cultivated to this level in just over three years. His foundation was indeed extraordinary.
"Master, what are the six meridians of qi?”Little Siqi asked.
"We have to start from the history of Arhat Fist. Arhat Fist was created by Bodhidharma, an Indian monk. At the end of Liang Datong's reign, Bodhidharma entered the plain barefoot and lectured on Zen in Shaolin Temple. He saw that all the monks were yellow and thin, and their spirits were weak. Some of them were dispirited and sleepy, and some died of illness. Bodhidharma said with emotion: "Although monks don't value their bodies, they can't not understand their nature and disperse their souls. If you want to understand, you must first strengthen your body, so that your body is strong and your soul is easy to understand.”So he created the eighteen hands of Arhat Fist and taught them to the monks. After practicing for only a few months, they were all full of energy. This was the beginning of Arhat Fist. At that time, the so-called Arhat Fist only had these eighteen moves, and there was no name for the innate and acquired. By the time of the Jin and Yuan Dynasties, Baiyu Peak had cut into the mountains and got these eighteen hands. They merged and changed, explained the subtle and subtle, and increased to 118 hands to match the number of 118 arhats. At this time, the eighteen hands taught by Bodhidharma were called the Primordial Eighteen Hands of the Primordial Arhat Fist, while the Bai family's 118 hands were called the Acquired Arhat Fist.
The innate and acquired Arhat Fist was also the shape and development. Therefore, in the later stages, any Arhat Fist formed by the Dharma's Eighteen Hands or the Bai's Hundred and Eighteen Hands could be called the Acquired Arhat Fist.
The Connate Arhat Fist is the beginning of the eighteen moves. It is the orthodox patriarch system of Shaolin's various schools. The law is limited to eighteen moves. The essence is gathered without losing its original nature. Ever since the birth of the Dharma Zen Master, many famous masters had passed down their great hands. The theoretical basis was the Zen method passed down by the first ancestor Dharma: "If you don't establish a character, it will be passed down outside the sect. It will point directly to the hearts of the people and become a Buddha.”The practice method always embodied the Zen spirit of "no thoughts as the root", focusing on breathing and exhalation, qi flowing through the six meridians, keeping the heart and fate, and stopping the heart from being chaotic. Therefore, it was also called "Shaolin Heart Arhat Fist". The Primordial Eighteen Hands of the Connate Arhat Fist was a stance skill of Qi Refinement, which could make the spirit and energy sufficient and stabilize the lower body. It was both internal and external, both spiritual and physical, both static and moving. There was no martial art that could not be used to change tendons and cleanse the marrow.”
"Then I should be practicing the Innate Arhat Fist now, right?”
"That's right. This Innate Arhat Fist was also discovered by my master on the stone wall of a nameless cave in the mountain behind the Shaolin Temple. He passed it on to me and later wanted to pass it on to the other disciples of the Shaolin Temple. However, because they were used to the Postnatal Arhat Fist, they thought that the Innate Arhat Fist of my master, your grandmaster, was a fake, so they gave up.”
"Then what is the Houtian Arhat Fist like?”
" Although the Arhat Fist was supplemented and shaped by Baiyu Peak, it was later infused with the essence of one. Monk Li Jingyuan and the others were all Shaolin practitioners. Each of them had their own sects and had their own increase or decrease. Although it was still based on 118, the rules had changed. In the early Qing Dynasty, although Shaolin flourished, it was destroyed in an instant. Since then, not only has there been no successor to the eighteen hands taught by Bodhidharma; Even the 118 hands of Baiyu Peak have no one to understand its mystery. As for today's so-called Arhat Boxing, there are different schools in the north and south, and different methods of teaching, which are confused and unorthodox.”Liao Fan sighed.
"So the Arhat Fist that I've learned has such a great origin. It was even personally created by Ancestral Zen Master Dharma!”Little Si Qi was pleasantly surprised." So, if you meet any Shaolin disciples in the future, if you have the chance, teach them this set of Innate Arhat Fist. This can be considered as my repayment for not returning to Shaolin for decades."
" Yes, Master. I will definitely do it if I have the chance," Little Si Qi replied.
"Come, let's go back to the house and see how your makeup homework is going.”After saying that, Liao Fan left the room.
