"Master, disciple Yang Guo greets master!”
In the vegetable garden behind the Shaolin Temple, in the two small wooden houses where Jue Yuan lived, Yang Guo prostrated himself on the ground and kowtowed nine times to Jue Yuan, who was sitting on a stool. He also offered a cup of hot tea as a gift for his apprenticeship.
"Alright, please get up."
Jue Yuan supported Yang Guo with both hands, and Yang Guo stood up.
"Master, do you really not know martial arts?”Yang Guo looked at his master suspiciously and asked.
"Why, do you regret taking me as your master? If you don't want to, then you can forget about what happened just now.”Jue Yuan was really a good person. He had never shown any expression other than amiability on his face.
"No, I just remembered that when I met you and Martial Uncle Jueming today, Master's footsteps were as steady and light as Martial Uncle Jueming's. I thought you were also an expert!”Yang Guo voiced his doubts.
"That's not martial arts! It was a method to strengthen one's body that I happened to find in the Sutra Depository. After I practiced according to that method, I felt that my body was getting lighter and lighter, and I could do more and more things. I was a few years younger. Tomorrow, I'll bring you to see that method. You should learn it well. Following me will cause you to suffer a lot. There are many things in Shaolin Temple that we have to do slowly.”Jue Yuan said.
"Shaolin Temple is so big. Can't you find a few more people to help you?”Yang Wen asked.
"A few years ago, there were indeed many senior brothers, junior brothers, or martial nephews who came to help me with this and that. However, in recent years, the Mongolians had occupied Dengfeng and were eyeing the martial arts manuals in Shaolin Temple. Shaolin Temple could only close its doors and not come out. The disciples also seized the time to practice martial arts. If they did not want to fight like a trapped beast, they had to work hard.”Even though Jue Yuan was not in charge of matters, he understood the crisis that Shaolin Temple was facing.
"Then why haven't the Mongolians attacked Shaolin Temple yet?”Yang Guo asked curiously.
"Our Shaolin Temple has many martial arts manuals in our hands, so there are naturally many experts. The Mongolians could not take it down for a while. Furthermore, the Mongolians needed time to manage their political affairs, and the army was in a hurry to attack the Great Song. Compared to the Great Song, Shaolin Temple was still insignificant, which was why Shaolin Temple was able to be stable for a while.”Jue Yuan didn't impatiently explain to Yang Guo.
"I see." Yang Guo nodded, indicating that he understood.
"Alright then, let's chop up the remaining firewood before we go eat.”Jue Yuan stood up and said.
"Yes!"
……
The next morning, after breakfast, Jue Yuan brought Yang Guo to the Sutra Library. He greeted the senior brother guarding the door and entered.
Jue Yuan introduced," The Sutra Library is divided into two levels. The first level is filled with Buddhist scriptures. The second level is filled with the secret manuals of Shaolin's 72 Ultimate Skills. Without the permission of the abbot, no one is allowed to go up." It was said that the Seventy-two Ultimate Skills were created by Patriarch Bodhidharma, and each of them could reach the state of martial arts. However, a few hundred years ago, a few big thieves entered Shaolin and stole many secret manuals. It could be said that many of them had been lost.”
"That's a pity!" Yang Guo said regretfully.
"It really makes the Shaolin disciples feel ashamed that they can't guard the martial arts left behind by Patriarch Bodhidharma! However, Patriarch Bodhidharma had not only left behind top-notch martial arts, but also Buddhist scriptures that he had personally transcribed! The method I told you about is in the crack of Bodhidharma's handwritten 'Lankāa sutra'. If I hadn't read it carefully, I wouldn't have discovered it.”Jue Yuan said.
After Jue Yuan finished speaking, he walked to the bookshelf with the Lankaya Sutra and handed it to Yang Guo.
"You can just stay here and read the Lankaya Sutra by yourself today. I'll call you later." After Jue Yuan finished speaking, he walked to the door and greeted the monk guarding the door. Then, he left to do his own things.
Yang Guo took the book and walked to a corner. He leaned against the wall and flipped through the Lankaya Sutra, paying attention to the method in the crack that his master had mentioned.
He saw the words written in the crevice,"When you raise your hand, you must have a certain direction. Start the action can not be decided by oneself, must carefully understand, follow the movement of others, follow the curve to stretch, do not lose or resist. Don't stretch yourself. He has strength, and I have strength, and I have strength first. They can't do anything, and I can't do anything, but I still want to take the lead. Always pay attention. Where to go, where to use the heart, must go to do not lose not top to ask for information.
"Remember, there's nothing that's not quiet. I must be as still as a mountain. As the saying went, he was strong, and the wind blew over the mountains. There was no place that did not move, and every movement was like a river. As the saying goes, he can do whatever he wants, but the moon shines on the river. From now on, in a year and a half, he would be able to do it. It was all an intention, not a force. After a long time, people will control me, and I will not be controlled by others.
"I can't be in a daze when I raise my hand. His power is just touching my skin, and my will has already entered his bones. The two hands support each other, and the qi runs through each other. If the left is heavy, the left is empty, and the right is gone. If the right is heavy, the right is empty, and the left is gone. Qi is like a wheel, the whole body must follow each other, if there is no phase everywhere, the body will be scattered, will not be able to use its strength, the disease is in the waist and legs to seek.
"First, use your heart to control your body, and then follow others and not yourself. Later, if your body can follow your heart, you will still follow others. If you follow yourself, you will stagnate, and if you follow others, you will live. If you can follow others, you can have a sense of propriety in your hands. When you weigh the strength of others, it is not wrong. Weigh the length of the enemy's attack, there is no difference, advance and retreat, everywhere is just right, the longer the work, the more refined the skill.
"If he doesn't move, I won't move. When the enemy moves, we move first. There must be folding and folding in order to move back and forth, and there must be conversion in order to move forward and backward. Extremely soft, then extremely hard. Silence is harmony, and harmony is open. The movement is the opening, and the opening is the combination. When you touch it, you can rotate freely, and there is no lack of strength. First seek to expand, then seek to compact, can achieve meticulous.
"Make sure that the qi is hidden in the spine, the breathing is connected to the spirit, and the whole body is isolated. If you want to restrain your qi into your bones, you must first have strength in your front joints, loosen your shoulders, and let your qi sink. It touches the back of the back and converges into the spine. The circulation of qi is like a nine-song pearl, which is invincible. He could breathe, and then he could be flexible.
"Inhaling is merging and storing, exhaling is opening and releasing. Probably sucking can naturally lift up, but also can make people lift up. When you shout, you can naturally sink down and let people out. This is because of the spirit, not because of the strength of the spirit. The spirit of the whole body is not in qi, but in qi, it is stagnant. With qi, there is no strength, without qi, there is pure and strong.
"The strength of a body is cultivated into a family, and the truth is distinguished. There must be a source of strength. The strength starts from the feet, changes in the legs, governs the waist, originates from the back, connects the elbows, and runs through the fingers. It must be complete in one breath. When you are strong, you must be calm, loose and clean, and you must be in charge of one side. To seek justice in a crooked way, to accumulate and then to make a move. The strength stored was like a bow, the strength released was like an arrow, and the strength was like a thread. The strength is like a pine tree, but not a pine tree. the strength and will were unbroken. I have to raise my full spirit, when the other force is about to open the window, my force has already connected with the other force, just neither behind nor first. It was like a fire burning on the skin, like a spring gushing out. He advanced and retreated without any chaos. Only then could he seize the opportunity and gain power, and it would be effective at will. This is called borrowing strength to beat people, four liang to pull a thousand jin.
"The key to movement lies in Yin and Yang. When the spirit is gathered, the qi is stirred up, and the qi is refined to return to the spirit. His aura shifted and his spirit focused. The opening and closing are precise, and the deficiency and excess are clear. The left is empty, the right is empty, the right is empty, the left is empty. Xu Fei was completely powerless, his aura had to move. In fact, it is not completely occupied by evil spirits, but the spirit should be concentrated.
"The most important thing is that it's all in the chest, waist, and legs, not outside. Strength comes from others, and qi comes from the spine. How can qi come from the spine? The qi sank down from his shoulders and into his spine. It was injected into his waist.
"This is the combination of qi from top to bottom. Spread it from the waist to the spine, spread it on both arms, and apply it to the fingers. This is the movement of qi from the bottom to the top, which is called opening. Close is close, open is open. Knowing how to open and close, one would know Yin and Yang. At this level, if you call out the Nine Yang and gather one Yuan, it can be called the Nine Yang Divine Skill. From then on, as long as you work hard and master your skills, you will gradually be able to do whatever you want and move freely, and there will be no dissatisfaction.
"To put it bluntly, qi is harmless when it is cultivated directly, and strength is abundant when it is cultivated. The spirit is relaxed and the body is quiet, which is engraved in the heart. The inner spirit is strong, and the outer appearance is comfortable. Change reality and reality, sacrifice oneself to follow others. It should be known that yin and yang complement each other to understand strength.
"It's a confidant's work to fight on a daily basis. When he made a move, he first asked himself if he was in line with the rules. If there is a little disagreement, change it quickly. He had to be slow and not fast. The hitman knew people's skills, and even though he knew people's movements, he still asked himself. If you arrange it well, when someone touches me, I won't touch them at all. I'll take advantage of the situation to enter, receive their strength, and they'll fall out. If there is something you can't do, it is double untransformed, which should be sought in the opening and closing of yin and yang. As the saying goes, know yourself and know your enemy, and you will win every battle.”
