I'm the best catcher in martial arts

Nine-character mantra mudra.

This martial art is very famous in the world, especially among Tantric monks, who take it as a required course.

In fact, the Nine-Character Mantra was not originally a martial art or a Buddhist secret, but a Taoist secret.

However, during the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the eminent monk Zhenyan Master visited temples all over the world, learned thousands of mudras, summarized the nine-character Buddhist mantra, and taught it to Xu Ziling.

Xu Ziling was born with Buddhism and had an extraordinary understanding of Buddhist magical powers, from which he understood the way of martial arts.

Padmasambhava went to Tibet to teach the Dharma and brought the Nine-Character Mantra with him. After hundreds of years of inheritance, it has become the top and most complete unique martial arts in Tantric Buddhism.

Even in the world, the understanding of the Nine-Character Mantra is mostly based on Tantric Buddhism, and there is no relevant spread even among Central Plains Buddhism, let alone the major sects of Taoism.

Nowadays, among all branches of Taoism, the most highly regarded secret arts are probably the Nine Heavens Scripture and Tai Chi Xuan Gong.

There is no other reason than Zhang Sanfeng’s unique skill of breaking the void and being able to reach the realm of the broken void. Which person in the world doesn’t want to learn a thing or two about it?

Naturally, Shen Lian had heard about the prestigious name of the Nine-Character Mantra Mudra, and had wanted to learn it. Unfortunately, even Wei Qingqingqing was completely unaware of it.

Now that I have the opportunity, I will naturally not miss it.

Shen Lian is not a person who worships the ancients, nor does he think that the so-called orthodox source is the strongest. In fact, Shen Lian prefers to inherit the ideas of the sages and improve the sages' methods.

For example, the seventy-two stunts of Shaolin. The seventy-two stunts circulated today have all been modified and perfected by Shaolin monks of all generations, and they are much more powerful than before.

Whether it is Buddhist martial arts or Taoist magical powers, the one that remains unchanged will definitely be the weakest and worst.

Being stubborn, conservative, pedantic and rigid will only turn you into a pool of stagnant water, and you will eventually be surpassed by others.

Jiang Laodao is not a rigid and conservative person.

Jiang Laodao's martial arts can be said to be astonishing.

For such a powerful person, the revised and improved martial arts secrets must be the best skills in the world.

Jiang Laodao did not show up, but controlled the snow to form a snowman and urged the snowman to form handprints.

The nine-character mantra of Taoism is spread in different ways. The one taught by Jiang Laodao is

——Those who are facing the battle should march forward in formation!

Lin: The unique diamond seal, which stabilizes the body and mind, combines the spiritual power of heaven and earth, and has great power to subjugate and eliminate demons;

Soldier: Dachong Xubao Seal, main energy, moves as fast as a dart, observes the way of heaven, and executes heaven's actions;

Fighting: The outer mysterious seal dominates the resonance of the universe, unites all difficulties, and emerges with fighting spirit when encountering strong enemies;

Who: The inner eight-character seal, the master of restoration, the spiritual power of all things, let me connect, the harmony is boundless;

All: No binding seal, mastering crisis induction, resolving all troubles, harmonizing the four images, and being uncontaminated;

Formation: Seal of the Ten Thousand Gods, the main concealment, insight into the enemy's psychology, concealment of one's own energy, and calmness;

Column: Bagua Seal, master control, break through obstacles that hinder oneself, innate ancestral Qi, subtle tact;

Front: The treasure gourd seal governs the Taoist heart. My heart is the elixir, and all transformations are in harmony, without leakage or stain;

Line: The seal of the sun and the moon controls the unity of heaven and man, so that all things are aligned, and heaven and earth are one with me.

Each mudra contains a unique method and contains a special heart mantra, such as the Heart Mantra of Supreme Goodness Ruoshui, the Mantra of Wenshi Zhenren Wuxin, and the Mantra of Tongxuan Subtle Incarnation.

These mantras did not originally exist. In order to enhance the effect of the mudra during the practice process, Jiang Laodao used the mantras to double the effect.

In addition, the changes in each handprint and the interaction of spirit, energy and spirit were also modified by Jiang Laodao.

Even though Jiang Laodao's realm is so advanced, he has no intention of spreading the mudra widely. Therefore, the threshold for practicing the nine-character mantra mudra is extremely high and it is extremely difficult to understand it.

With Shen Lian's learning ability and the enlightenment brought by his frantic heart, he studied for a whole night.

At dawn, the snowman dissipated, and Jiang Laodao disappeared into the wind and snow, as if he were a snow-capped mountain god.

Shen Lian didn't sleep all night, but he was full of energy. He subconsciously followed Jiang Laodao's instructions and tested the nine-character mantra mudra with his hands. Of course, the first one to test was

——Unique diamond seal!

Bend your hands toward the palms, interlock the joints of the two fingers, raise the index fingers, and touch the fingertips!

Shen Lian's strong body seemed to be as dignified as a mountain or as heavy as a rock on the seashore. Even the wind, frost, swords, stormy waves, it seemed that it would not be able to injure him in the slightest.

Shen Lian felt indescribably happy, his hands danced rapidly, and he performed all kinds of changes.

Each time a technique is performed, a punch is thrown.

With the blessing of the nine-character mantra, the simple Shaolin Changquan has the power to break open stone monuments.

The surrounding snow was shaken and rustled down. When it fell next to Shen Lian, it was melted by the blood and turned into milky white smoke that surrounded Shen Lian.

The more Shen Lian fought, the happier he became, and he couldn't help but use all the punches and kicks he had learned.

Sometimes it soared like a dragon, sometimes galloped like a tiger, sometimes it was as fast as an eagle, and sometimes it soared into the sky. When it landed, its footsteps were scattered, as if it was drunk in Yaochi.

Dragon Claw Hand, Tiger Claw Hand, Eagle Claw Hand, Drunken Eight Immortals, Drunken Arhat, Bajiquan, Arhat Fist...

Shen Lianhui's martial arts skills are not many. They are all unique skills that have been refined over time.

When he reaches the point of excitement, he takes off his coat directly, revealing his strong bronze body, facing the sun, displaying his heroism, like a golden eagle circling wildly in the sky.

"Crack, click, click!"

After Gu Wen's combination was completed, Shen Lian danced wildly with a gun. Whether it was the most widely circulated Hundred Birds Chaohuang Spear or his own unknown marksmanship, they were all displayed in the sun.

The golden phoenix soars, the luan and the phoenix sing in unison, and the spears shine like a forest.

The handprints of the nine-character mantra move at will, and the Guwen gun sweeps and spins along with the handprints, and the bullets collapse and pick up.

"boom!"

The Gu Wen gun flew out of his hand, and most of the snow valley that had been destroyed by the force of the fist gun was rushed by the flying gun. There was only a loud explosion, and the snow valley was collapsed by the force.

The snow cracked and fell. Shen Lian laughed wildly, flew forward and grabbed the gun barrel, and with a slight twist, the gun barrel was disassembled.

By the time Shen Lian fell, Gu Wen had already returned to the iron box behind him, had put on his clothes, and stood calmly outside the valley without being affected at all.

Except... Gu Gu Gu Gu!

hungry!

I want to eat!

…

Shen Lian was grilling meat and reviewing the dishes.

"Old Jiang... Senior, what is the identity of this Senior Jiang? Is he the queen of Jiang Ziya?"

"Isn't Jiang Ziya's surname Lu?"

"Even if the descendants change their surname to Jiang, a family that has been passed down for thousands of years will inevitably have some respect for the ancients. What Senior Jiang did is simply half Zhou Botong!"

"He said that he had observed thirty-eight people and used myself as the standard. Those people can't be worse than me. Some people are even better and more talented than me."

"These people may not all be warriors. They may be better at reading, they may be better at painting, or they may be reclusive in the mountains and have not left a name in the world."

"With so many geniuses, even if the time span is extended to forty years, it is still a large number."

"In other words, Senior Jiang's observation may be just an observation, or it may be a unique Tao seed condensed based on the Demon Sect's Tao Heart Demon Seed Technique."

"No matter what kind of 'seed' it is, it needs a medium to perform it, right? Where is my Jin Bingyun?"

"Qin Mengyao can do it without Jin Bingyun! If not, maybe Yan Jing'an can do it."

"There is nothing abnormal about my body. I have even become stronger due to my breakthrough in martial arts. The effect of the Vajra Indestructible Magic is beyond my imagination."

"Senior Jiang...the Jiang family...the Jiang family, isn't it an ancient family like the Ji family?"

"The masters of the Jiang family in my memory...the masters of the Jiang family in my memory...I remember it!"

"The Heavenly Book of Forgetting Love!"

"The creators of the Heavenly Book of Forgetting Love, I remember that they established a force, which was eventually destroyed by Li Chenzhou, which was the beginning of the rise of the Power Gang!"

"There are also masters from the Jiang family. I remember there is another master from the Jiang family, she seems to be an old lady."

"That old lady looks very mean. She looks like an evil mother-in-law who wants to abuse her daughter-in-law. She seems to have some connection with Bai Sanniang. The two have fought against each other before."

"How did you say that?"

"Didn't your mother tell you that if you encounter someone named Jiang in the future, you'd better stay away?"

"She seems to have a body-protecting mental technique that can defend acupuncture points and can also rebound the Storming Wave Palm. However, she only rebounded Guo Furong. This cannot be used as an example!"

Shen Lian quickly analyzed Jiang Laodao's origins, and unknowingly, he had analyzed "Jiang Ming".

Although I knew it was absolutely impossible, my mind just kept running involuntarily, and even occasionally, I felt that Jiang Laodao was a little familiar, as if I had seen him before.

Who could it be?

An old man selling paintings in Qixia Town?

Immoral Taoist?

I have never seen these masters!

Forget it, don’t think about it anymore, maybe the old man’s surname is not Jiang at all, so he’s just trying to fool me!

Shen Lian pulled a cart of things and walked slowly between the snowy valleys of Tianshan Mountain. Although the cart was big, it didn't feel heavy because the ground was covered with snow.

After arriving at the foot of the mountain, Shen Lian rested for two days, hired the Zhenyuan Escort Agency, and followed the Escort Agency back to Jinling.

I have been experiencing too much outside recently. It’s time to go back to Jinling to collect my thoughts. Some special treasures should also be handed over to the master and asked to be handled by him.

…

When Shen Lian returned to Jinling, it was already mid-November, and the Chinese New Year was still one and a half months away.

In the spring of next year, there will be the imperial examination. After the exam, you will go to Dali and the Western Regions. There will be countless battles during this period. You must cultivate well during this time.

The first thing I did when I returned to Jinling was to put my things at my home, and then go to my eldest brother’s house to meet my mother.

When the family was separated, most of the family property was given to Shen Yumen, and Shen Yumen also took care of his mother.

Shen Yumen even spread the word that he had a great treasure of the Shen family, which was secretly hidden on his sword. In fact, there was no gold, silver or jewelry. He was talking about his mother.

If someone believed his lies and searched around based on the lies, then there would be something good to see.

The Shen Mansion has never been a peaceful place.

Shen Lian's family was sparsely populated, and his mother was very dissatisfied with this. She had long wanted to arrange a marriage for Shen Lian.

Shen Yumen's family was full of beautiful women, including five or six eldest and younger wives, and even more foreign lovers, but none of the wives left him any heirs.

If you are at Shen Lian's house, it doesn't matter how noisy you are. After all, there is no one at home, so you can make noises as you like.

If a quarrel breaks out at Shen Yumen's house, it will be endless. It is said that Shen Yumen decided to settle down in Jingxiang for this reason.

"The child has seen his mother."

"Well, get up."

Shen Lian raised his eyes and found that my mother's face was very normal, with no sign of anger.

Out of the corner of his eye, he looked at the sisters-in-law, who gave them reassuring looks. Shen Lian felt relieved for the time being.

——Don’t worry!

I’m here to get scolded for you!

"Mom, I went to the Tianshan Mountains and personally picked the Tianshan Snow Lotuses for you. I wish you good health."

"Well, is there anything else?"

"My martial arts skills have improved greatly recently. If my brother disobeys me in the future, I will teach him a lesson for you."

"Well, is there anything else?"

"Gone!"

"Gone?"

"It's really gone!"

"Then what are you doing here? Am I unable to walk or am I blind or deaf? Do I need you, a big bear, to be by your side? You know I..."

Shen Lian quickly interrupted his mother.

"Don't worry, I don't know how to wait for others. If I stay here, I'll be an eyesore. I'll find someone who won't be an eyesore. What do you think of Zuo Shi? I'll let Zuo Shi do it..."

"I think Zuo Shi is very good. That child is easy to raise. You should adopt her quickly!"

"Okay, okay, I will listen to you. I will give you an explanation next year and arrange everything. Don't just rush me, brother, you must also be tight!"

Shen Lian said that in the spring of next year, I would be sent out by Lao Zhu and would be dragged out until the end of the year.

I've settled the matter here. Don't even think about having any leisure time over there. I definitely can't let him go.

Shen's mother smiled with satisfaction and said: "I will urge your elder brother. He stays in Jingxiang all day long and doesn't go home. Is he going to make contributions? He is just avoiding me!"

Shen Lian smiled and said, "You can do this. My eldest brother will go home during the Chinese New Year this year. When he leaves, let him take his sisters-in-law away and place them all in Jingxiang.

If you want to be in Jinling, stay in Jinling. I'll let Zuo Shi serve you. If you want to go to Jingxiang, then go to Jingxiang with you. Keep an eye on my big brother. That guy is really a romantic and lawless man outside! "

Before Mother Shen could speak, a cold voice came from afar: "Going to be romantic? Why is your elder brother so romantic? Tell me about it!"

The person speaking was none other than Shen Yumen's wife, Shen Lian's sister-in-law, Yan Xifeng.

Yan Xifeng did not come from a wealthy martial arts family, but was considered a lady from an official family, but her personality was quite straightforward, with the heroic spirit of a heroine and a bit domineering.

Yan Xifeng takes care of the Shen family's property, including the property under Shen Lian's name, without any exception.

Shen Yumen's concubines were respectful and afraid of Yan Xifeng. They could talk about her behind her back, but they never dared to do so in front of her, let alone show any small temper.

Even Shen’s mother had to give in.

However, due to conflicting personalities, Shen Yumen and Yan Xifeng had some relationship problems. Shen Lian felt that as a good brother, he should help his brother find a solution.

"Sister-in-law, I have to say now that you must be angry for nothing and there is no place to vent your anger. It is not worth it.

I went to Tianshan a few days ago and learned a unique skill. All my sisters-in-law will practice together. In just a few months, I will be able to defeat my eldest brother. By then, my sister-in-law will not be able to decide whether my eldest brother can go out and have a romantic relationship! "

With that said, Shen Lian handed the positive and negative sword formation to Yan Xifeng: "Even my eldest brother's master, the Holy Fire Lord Zhang Wuji, suffered losses back then!"

Yan Xifeng put away the secret book without leaving a trace, and planned to try it with a few sisters. If it was really effective, she could take good care of Shen Yumen to avoid disharmony in the family.

As for Shen’s mother, Shen’s mother is very supportive of this.

Shen Yumen has left Jinling and is now lawless. Someone needs to take good care of him.

"Second brother, aren't you going to report on your work?"

"I went out to catch thieves, so I need to report on my duties. I went to Tianshan Mountain for fun, so I don't need to report on my duties, but I should also go see Master. Master has been too tired recently!"

"It's all caused by you bastard! Give the Tianshan Snow Lotus to your master and let him recuperate!"
