[Comprehensive martial arts] Holy Monk

Fang Tianzhi has always been different in Shaolin Temple.

Aside from being born with buddhist karma, good bones, good looks, and clever brains, he has another difference, which is reflected in his identity.

He is the youngest person in the Yuanzi generation, and he should be the last person.There are already a lot of young monks of the Hui generation in Shaolin Temple, even Yuan Qing and Yuan Miao, who were ordained together with him, are older than him, and there is not a head of Bodhidharma Academy who is in his prime as a master.

Brackets, for the Shaolin sect, around fifty can still be counted as a mature age.

Therefore, it is not surprising that Fang Tianzhi himself is equivalent to the four characters of "Boundless Future".Whether it is nephew, brother or uncle, especially his master, they all watched him with different thoughts, to see how this first step he took was going to be.

On the first day he officially became a monk, Fang Tianzhi was in a daze.

Getting up in the dark, Fang Tianzhi and a group of bald heads lined up and walked in the temple. He thought he was going to go to morning class, but instead he wandered all the way to Xiangji Kitchen.When the cook's nephew handed him a pair of sharp-bottomed wooden barrels that were about the same height as him, and said with a smile, "Little uncle, this is your barrel", Fang Tianzhi suddenly had a very bad feeling premonition.

When he knew that young monks had to go out of Shaolin Temple to get water from the stream at the foot of Shaoshi Mountain before the morning classes started one day, and then brought it back to the temple, this premonition became a reality——

What the fuck? !

But Lao Tzu is not a young monk, but a child monk? ! ? !

The newly ordained young monks did not go together with the monks who already had basic skills, but formed another team behind, and Fang Tianzhi's senior brother Yuanye took the lead to familiarize himself with this basic job of Shaolin monks.

Yuan Ye was twenty years old this year, and he was born with a strong physique. He threw a club at the front of the team, almost blocking the sun that was just emerging.He parted ways with the Shaolin rookies in a serious manner: "Good morning, brothers and nephews, the monk Yuanye will go out of the temple to carry water in the next month, and I will lead our team. Carrying water is labor, but it is also I, a Shaolin monk, practice the basic compulsory courses, and my brothers and nephews must not be negligent. The younger brothers and nephews are still young, and their requirements are different from mine. The younger brothers and nephews who are ten years old or older must hold the wooden barrel with both hands when going down the mountain. Shoulder-to-shoulder, no matter how high or low the mountain road is, the bucket should not be lowered, let alone put down; when going up the mountain, it is only necessary to lift the bucket up. Brothers and nephews who are ten years old or younger, there is no requirement for going up and down the mountain road, just carry half a bucket full of water. Can."

The young monks in the same team reacted differently, some were eager to try, and naturally some were frowning and stunned.But Yuan Ye didn't mind how they reacted, after all, the job still had to be done.After he finished speaking, he said again: "Let's set off now. Brothers and nephews, follow me closely, don't fall behind." After finishing speaking, he lifted the sharp bucket with both arms, and happily led the way .

The young monks had no time to think and complain, they hurriedly carried buckets to follow, and took Fang Tianzhi with them to the mountain gate.Shaolin Temple is located at the southern foot of Shaoshi Mountain. From the temple to the stream at the foot of the mountain, although the road is not steep, it is also undulating and winding. It is not easy to turn over slopes and rocks.Fang Tianzhi was walking on the mountain road, looking at the mountains surrounded by mountains, the bare rocks standing on the walls, the endless pines and cypresses are green and beautiful, the trees are mixed among them, the autumn leaves are as gorgeous as yellow flowers, and he feels the scenery is very pleasant.But as soon as he walked through the grass pavilion halfway up the mountain, he was very tired!

He took a peek around and saw that there were countless young monks stumbling around, especially those who had to lift the bucket to their shoulders, their heads were already sweating profusely, their eyes wandering.In comparison, his condition is pretty good.

In fact, this is really no wonder Fang Tianzhi.When he was a martial artist back then, all the leaders of the Demon Sect's martial arts were superb, and all they paid attention to were elegant and handsome, with an air of immortality.When one's internal energy is sufficient, one can naturally do anything during the circulation of true qi, such as splitting gold and cracking stones, as big as shaking mountains and chasing the sun, all of which are just around the corner. How has he ever beaten his muscles so violently?Master Fang's delicate little hands have never even held the hilt of a sword. When he debuted in the world, he could turn into a sword with his true energy, and he was invincible like a finger, and he no longer needed the help of dead things.

He could endure the incomparably boring, lonely and frightening dangers of inner strength training, but he hadn't really experienced any skin torments.

I heard that Shaolin Temple is one of the oldest in the world, and his martial arts is the leader of the crowd. It is said that the method of practice should be brilliant. Maybe the martial arts in this world are different from the world he used to be in...?

Or did I enter the wrong school? ? ?

In the next few decades, Fang Tianzhi will find out that both of his guesses are correct.But at this moment, looking at the leader Yuan Ye who was striding forward, he only felt a burst of sadness. Up to now, he had no choice but to bear it no matter what.But in the future, will he accidentally develop into Yuanye's muscular strength?

Blue skinny!

Lan Shou was Lan Shou again, Master Fang had taken countless baths in strong winds and waves, and he was able to bear even a little bit of suffering.All the way down the mountain to the stream, and then back to the mountain gate, he has already remembered this journey by heart.The group of them dragged their feet and walked slowly. The monks in front of them had passed them several times to carry water, and when they saw the rookies crying, they all laughed and laughed, very happy.The leading senior brothers of the Yuanzi generation did not stop, because this has been the fun passed down by Shaolin monks for generations.Some people ridiculed Yuanye and said: "Uncle Yuanye, when you fill up the water tank, you won't be able to eat breakfast."

Only then did Fang Tianzhi understand why Yuanye said that his junior brother and nephew had different requirements from his.Yuanye only said: "You talk too much, so it's okay to have dinner later!" It sounded like he didn't complain because he was carrying a bottle of oil.

When they arrived at the water room of Xiangji Kitchen, Fang Tianzhi waited for a group of young monks to find that there was not much water left in the buckets, and everyone laboriously filled the buckets of water into a water tank. After everyone poured it out, they gathered together At first glance, the water tank was only half full.Dozens of little bald heads went to look at Yuanye together, and saw that he had two full buckets in his hands, the water surface was calm, hardly a drop was spilled, and dozens of pairs of eyes burst out with admiration and admiration.

Yuanye noticed it, and couldn't help laughing and said: "This is a job that takes time and effort, and sooner or later all the brothers and nephews will do the same."

Just as he was speaking, there was a bang at the door, and a fire monk shouted: "Dinner is ready!" Yuanye hurriedly slipped down the mountain to fetch water, while Fang Tianzhi and others went to the dining hall to have breakfast together.Not long after the meal was finished, the temple bell rang again, and a group of monks, big and small, straightened their robes and went to Lixue Hall for morning classes.

The Lixue Hall is located behind the double halls on the east side of the Daxiong Hall. The name of the hall is taken from the meaning of the second patriarch Huike seeking the Dharma from Bodhidharma in the snow. It is originally a Buddhist allusion, but it sounds poetic to Fang Tianzhi.Autumn is getting deeper, there are many ancient trees in the temple, and the leaves are scattered all over the place, only the main hall and Lixue hall have just been swept out.Abbot Kong heard that many masters and uncles of Kongzi generation had already sat down in the hall, Fang Tianzhi saw his master was among them.

He found his futon according to his seniority, waited for the monks in the temple to gather together, and everyone in the hall began to chant scriptures and worship the Buddha. The bodhi bracelets given to me were held in my hand, and I moved them one by one.Occasionally, he raised his head to catch a glimpse of Mingbao who grew up together, now renamed Yuanqing, with a troubled expression on his face, as if his tongue couldn't keep up with the rhythm.

Fang Tianzhi wanted to have fun, but suddenly another line of reminders popped up in his mind.

[Please recite the scriptures carefully and work hard to reform.What the host did just now was not the behavior that a good monk should have. 】

Fang Tianzhi's face immediately turned serious, at least he seemed to be reciting the scriptures without distraction.

He doesn't reject the [Holy Monk System] being in charge of the east and the west. Although the requirements of being a holy monk are extremely flimsy, everything is for reincarnation, and he only has one chance.

It's better to have a reminder than to make a mistake.

After finishing the morning class, there was also a master of the Kongzi generation from the Taoist Institute giving lectures to the monks.

The monk might have to talk about the Dharma and Zen with others at any time. If he is not good at learning skills and shows cowardice and shame, then no matter how superb Shaolin Kungfu is, he will be completely ruined and cannot become a holy monk.So Fang Tianzhi listened carefully, and kept them in mind, striving to become the number one gold medal lecturer in Henan, Hubei and Hebei in the future.

After lunch, the temple bell rang again, and the monks who were learning martial arts rushed to the Arhat Hall together, and stood in line in front of the big square paved with green bricks in front of the hall, waiting for the first monk to give instructions.The head of the Arhat Hall, Kong Xiang, is about fifty years old, not tall, but rather vigorous, with gray eyebrows and sharp eyes, and a rather resolute and cold face.He was wearing a gray monk's robe, not a cassock, he only said a few words to the monks of the Kongzi generation and the Yuanzi generation who taught the exercises from a distance, and then left, making Fang Tianzhi the young monk beside him Quite disappointed.

They, a group of newly ordained rookies, formed a phalanx by themselves, waiting anxiously for the surrounding monks to disperse and each occupy a place to practice, and only then did they wait for a young monk to arrive.

The monk also put on a tiger face, as if he was afraid that the group of young monks would not take it seriously, he shouted loudly: "Little monk Yuanzhi, from now on I will teach my brothers and nephews to practice kung fu. Shaolin kung fu is profound and profound, and it cannot be accomplished overnight. The most important thing!"

When Fang Tianzhi heard the phrase "strike the foundation", he immediately panicked.

Yuanzhi continued: "Everyone who wants to improve martial arts in the future, the first thing you need to learn is the 32nd Shaolin Changquan and the [-]th Shaolin Luohanquan!"

It turned out that it was just practicing boxing, Fang Tianzhi felt a little relieved.

After a pause, he continued: "If you want to practice boxing, you must first practice the pile. Today I will teach Shaolin Zhuang Gong. Brothers and nephews, listen to my essentials and watch my movements. First, let's do Siping horse-step piles!" He said Stop, spread your feet shoulder-width apart, with your toes slightly inward, squat down until your thighs are at the same level as the ground, form a figure-of-eight palm with your hands, bend your elbows into your waist, look forward ①, and firmly tie the pile.

Fang Tianzhi was dumbfounded.

Yuan Zhi explained the essentials of the movement and the method of breathing for this pile, then stood up straight, and at some point grabbed a thin willow stick in his hand, and shouted with a stern face: "Please brothers, nephews, and nephews, make a pile!"

After standing on the pile all afternoon and being poked with a stick a few times, Fang Tianzhi almost doubted his life.

Who is he?

Where is he?

What is he going to do? ?

Is he really a martial arts genius? ? ?

At last he still remembered Master Kongming's exhortation, after practicing the piles, he went to the Kongming courtyard like a walking dead.Kong Ming had been waiting for him, and was not surprised to see him look like a dead dog, so he kneaded his limbs with his hands.Fang Tianzhi suddenly felt a warm stretch, he couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and said, "Master, how long will I have to tie the pile?"

Kongming smiled and said: "If you want to practice Shaolin stakes, you can stick them for a lifetime. My Shaolin Temple has a unique skill called Arhat Magic. This magic skill is very rare. In the past few hundred years, only two eminent monks have practiced it. It There is no method, no records, these two gods and monks are all enlightened by standing on the arhat stand. After they have practiced themselves, they can't explain why, and they have no way to teach others. They all rely on self-enlightenment " He paused, and said, "I tell you this to tell you not to underestimate the matter of piling up piles. Our Shaolin martial arts emphasizes both internal and external training. Among the 72 unique skills, hard work accounts for half. Alright, it can help strengthen the essence, benefit both internal strength and benefit endlessly.”

Fang Tianzhi already knew that he was on a pirate ship, but he didn't show his face when he heard the words. He looked at Master with his big dark and watery eyes, and nodded seriously: "Don't worry, Master, I will practice hard."

Kongming nodded in satisfaction, and then said: "You are my disciple, so it is naturally different. I am here to teach you a method of breathing meditation, called the nine-figure-six-sitting body method. You must not lie down at night. Lie down and sleep peacefully, do your best to meditate and rest according to this method, remember?"

Fang Tianzhi liked practicing internal skills the most, and nodded his head a hundred times more sincerely than before.

Kong Ming said: "There are 54 postures in this exercise, and I will teach you six postures today. You start from the first posture at night and follow the method of the mind, and you can change to the next posture after your body posture is satisfactory and your breath is harmonious. It is not uncommon to practice one pose in one night, and you must not be greedy for it. If one day, you can practice all six poses in one night, I will teach you the next six poses." The way of thinking came out, and he watched Fang Tian carefully until he had memorized it thoroughly before teaching him the specific meditation postures.

As far as Fang Tian is concerned, he is not as clever as a human being in martial arts, he almost knows it as soon as he teaches it.When he sits cross-legged on the lotus, with his left arm upright holding the flower, his right elbow resting on his dantian, and his palms empty to hold the elixir, he just closes his eyes and makes some adjustments, and his breathing can be tightened three times and slowed down three times according to the law. The sixth pose is already light. Learned easily.Kong Ming watched from the sidelines, both surprised and delighted.

This kind of kung fu is from simple to complex, the first few postures are not difficult, but if you practice according to the heart method, the breathing movement will be extremely stagnant and stiff, because the meridians in the practitioner's body are blocked and the breath is disordered.If you practice this kung fu well, you will be able to master everything. It is very beneficial for the widening of the meridians and the smoothness of the acupoints. If you practice advanced martial arts in the future, you will naturally get twice the result with half the effort.He secretly thought in his heart, maybe he doesn't need to be over forty years old, maybe at the age of 40, this young disciple's martial arts might be able to succeed.

Once again, Kong Ming saw that Fang Tianzhi had opened his eyes, and was smiling at him with two dimples under the lamplight, his face was indescribably clever and lovely.

Kong Ming couldn't help but also laughed, and said: "It's getting late, there's no need to go to the dining hall. You stay here for a vegetarian meal, and then go to evening class with me."

By the end of the evening class, the moon and stars were scarce.

Fang Tianzhi returned to the monastery with his sleepy and tired companions, and many of them got into bed and fell asleep without washing their faces and feet.Fang Tianzhi also paid more attention to personal hygiene, and climbed up to the Datong shop after washing the bar quickly.

He glanced at the little bald heads who were already soundly asleep, calmed down, and meditated according to the first pose of the nine-figure-six-sitting posture.
