After losing to Kong Ling last time, Zhu Yu's fighting spirit seemed to be suddenly aroused. He practiced hard every day. After another month, he actually opened the Great Zhoutian. The next step was to practice releasing external energy, but For some reason, he tried many times but could not release the inner energy from the acupuncture points. He went to Master Kong Xin to ask. Kong Xin touched his head and said: "The energy is flowing freely, which means that your inner energy is not full enough." , it will take time to release the external energy.”
Zhu Yu has been blaming Lan Ling'er for being punished by the master. If it weren't for the competition she mentioned, she would not have been described as a brave and ruthless person by the master. Lan Ling'er seemed to be aware of this and wanted to ask Zhu Yu She admitted her mistake, but Zhu Yu kept avoiding her.
During this period, Kong Yuan and Kong Ying became frequent visitors to Zhu Yu's Zen room. They would come to his room every night and ask him to teach him martial arts. Zhu Yu naturally told everything he had learned. Kong Yuan and Kong Ying responded to Shaolin martial arts. It can be considered that I have some understanding.
One day after Zhu Yu had practiced martial arts with Kong Xin for three months, Zhu Yu was meditating and practicing Qi in the back hall of Bodhidharma Academy with his senior brothers. He suddenly felt a huge flow of air pouring out from the lower Dantian, passing through the Ming Gate and passing through the jade pillow. He rushed to Baihui point, trying to control it, but couldn't. He only felt his head buzzing and passed out.
When Zhu Yu woke up, it was already evening, and he found that he was sleeping on the bed in the Zen room. Lan Ling'er was sitting quietly on the edge of the bed, with several large cakes and a plate of pickles neatly placed on the bedside. Seeing Zhu Yu wake up, Lan Ling'er said happily: "Brother Zhu Yu, you finally woke up. It scared me to death. If you die, I don't know what to do! Get up and eat something."
"What's wrong with me?" Zhu Yu asked strangely. "It's okay, Master Kong Xin said, it's because your internal energy came too hard and you couldn't control it, so the internal energy went up and hit the Baibaihui point. Master has pushed the palace to pass the blood for you, and you will be fine tomorrow. ." Lan Ling'er comforted.
At this time, Kong Yuan and Kong Ying, who had returned from Jixiang Kitchen to help the cooks, also opened the door and came in. They also comforted Zhu Yu and said that Master Kong Xin told them that starting from tomorrow, they can reach Moyuan and Zhu Yu. They practiced martial arts together. Zhu Yu and Lan Ling'er were both happy when they heard the news.
On this day, Master Kong Xin began to let Zhu Yu and others practice sword practice together. Shaolin martial arts is unpredictable and focuses on self-defense and physical fitness, so it does not pay attention to the use of weapons. Although the moves of the eighteen kinds of weapons are in the Shaolin Library. There are records in the book, but most Shaolin monks do not choose to practice other weapons and only practice swords that are easy to carry with them.
There are three main sword techniques in Shaolin swordsmanship. Each sword technique has thirty-six moves, namely the light chasing wind sword technique, the heavy diamond sword technique and the ingenious mantis arm sword technique. Generally, when practicing sword techniques, the master will know how to do it. Since the spread of the Diamond Sword Technique, because the moves of the Diamond Sword Technique are simple, once you have mastered the Diamond Sword Technique, it will be much easier to practice the agile and skillful Wind Chasing Sword Technique and the Mantis Arm Sword Technique. However, those who practice martial arts only have a Only by laying a solid foundation of internal and external skills can we defeat the enemy.
When learning the Vajra Sword Techniques, Zhu Yu and Lan Ling'er memorized the thirty-six sword techniques in one day, but Kong Ling and Kong Xi spent three whole days, which shows the understanding of each of the four. In addition, since the last "competition", after a few days of "cold war", the relationship between Zhu Yu and Kong Ling seems to have become closer. Maybe this is called not knowing each other without fighting.
In the blink of an eye, the long winter has passed, and spring has come unexpectedly. The magnolia flowers in front of the main hall of Shaolin Temple have sprouted white and tender buds, and the willow trees next to the release pond at the entrance of the courtyard have also sprouted goose-yellow buds.
Since practicing martial arts with Master Kong Xin, Zhu Yu has never left the temple once. He really wants to take a walk in the mountains behind the temple to see the flowers and trees in the forest, as well as the butterflies picking flowers and the birds playing in the forest. , it is best to see monkeys swinging on the branches.
When Zhu Yu expressed her thoughts, several friends agreed.
"I'll talk to Master Kong Xin right now!" Lan Ling'er volunteered.
"Wait a minute, if Master Kong Xin doesn't let us out of the temple, we won't be able to go!" Kong Ling always has a lot of clever ideas.
"By the way, last time I went out to work, I encountered a big tiger. It was the senior brothers and uncles who knocked the gong to scare the tiger away. It seems that because of the tiger, the master will not let us go out of the temple. .” Kong Yuan’s analysis is tantamount to pouring cold water on everyone.
"Where are there so many tigers? It will be the first grade of junior high school in five days. There will be no morning classes or exercises on the first grade of junior high school. At dawn in the morning, those who dare to go will get a broom. When someone asks, they will say that the master asked them to go out to sweep the Tallinn on the back mountain. We are in Tallinn. Let's meet up." Kong Xi is the oldest, and he often makes the decision when things happen to the group of people. A major matter like going out on Master's back is naturally decided by him.
Finally, they made it to the first day of the Lunar New Year. Early in the morning, as soon as the morning bell of the temple rang, the six of them sneaked up to the pagoda forest.
The Shaolin Pagoda Forest is composed of pagodas where eminent Shaolin monks of all generations are buried. The horizontal and vertical pagodas cover an area of 100 acres. It has always been a forbidden area of Shaolin. Six people did not dare to enter. They felt the darkness and entered the back of Shaolin from one side. Mountain.
Like birds being released from a cage, the six of them followed the path used by Shaolin monks to collect firewood for thousands of years, playing hide-and-seek in the mountains and digging for crabs in the stream. Before they knew it, it was already noon, and several people's stomachs began to growl.
"Let's go back! I'm so hungry." Kong Yuan was fat and couldn't bear to be hungry.
"We finally came out once, let's play some more!" Zhu Yu hadn't finished playing yet.
"Look, everyone, what is this?" At some point, Lan Ling'er had a few wheat flour pancakes in her hand. It turned out that Lan Ling'er was attentive and knew that she wanted to go out to play. When she went to the dining room to eat every day, she would hide the pancakes and take them back. One pancake a day, exactly six.
They found a high slope next to the cliff, and the six of them started "lunch" leaning against the cliff. They chose such a place to guard against attacks by wild beasts. It seemed that although they had a good time, tigers appeared in the back mountain. Everyone has not forgotten.
After eating the pancakes, a few people decided to take a nap against the cliff. After all, they were a little tired from running around this morning, but suddenly they heard "Hum, hum" coming from the dense forest not far away. sound.
Hearing the sound, everyone couldn't help but feel a little bit in their hearts. Could it be that some wild beast was hiding in the forest and was spying on them.
"Hurry, climb up quickly, it's a tiger, the tiger is coming." Zhu Yu exclaimed.
Tigers are often seen in the dense forests of Lion Mountain. Zhu Yu not only heard the tigers grunting, but also heard the tigers roar. Once, when he went down the mountain to the city with his parents, he saw tigers from a distance. However, when he heard nothing, The master said that tigers generally do not eat people unless they are extremely hungry tigers, and hungry tigers are particularly ferocious.
Hearing Zhu Yu say that the tiger was coming, the five people hurriedly turned around and climbed up the cliff quickly. Fortunately, although they were only eight or nine years old, they had practiced kung fu and could climb up the cliff with ease.
Just when Lan Ling'er and others climbed to a height of more than ten feet on the cliff, thinking that if there was a tiger, it would not be able to catch them at such a height, they turned to look down and found Zhu Yu who had already climbed up with everyone. He didn't know when he slipped down, but just a few feet away from him, a huge tiger was staring at Zhu Yu with two big eyes, its mouth wide open, growling, and approaching Zhu Yu step by step. .
At this moment, Zhu Yu was at a loss. She stared blankly at the tiger, losing the strength to turn around and climb the cliff.
At this critical moment, between Zhu Yu and Tiger, a yellow-robed monk of medium height and sixty or seventy years old suddenly appeared.
Where the monk came from, none of the six people could see clearly. It seemed that in the blink of an eye, the monk suddenly appeared in front of them. Zhu Yu thought he was dazzled and rubbed his eyes hard, but the monk was still standing in front of him clearly.
The tiger was about to pounce on Zhu Yu, but unexpectedly a person suddenly appeared in front of him. It was instantly enraged and pounced on the monk with its teeth and claws spread out.
Seeing the tiger charging at him, the monk did not dodge, but he waved his right hand and slapped the tiger in the face. There was only a "bang" sound, the tiger was hit in the head, flew out high, and fell to the ground. There was no sound in the woods ten feet away.
The old monk fought off the tiger, turned around and smiled at the six people: "Children, the tiger has been killed by me, everyone, come down!"
The six of them were shocked when they saw the old monk kill the tiger with just one palm. After the old monk called for the second time, they slowly climbed down from the cliff and walked to the old monk.
"Thank you, Master, for saving your life. I wonder what you call Master?" Zhu Yu was taught by his parents since childhood and followed Master Kongshi for four years. He knew a lot about people and the world. Today, he was saved by the old monk, so he wanted to say some words of thanks.
"Haha, old monk Kongkong is your fellow disciple of Master Kongwu. He has nothing to do here and is living in seclusion here. You should go back quickly, otherwise your master will be worried." Master Kongkong spoke like beans pouring out of a bamboo tube. , unlike the formal monks in the temple, Zhu Yu bravely asked: "Uncle Kongkong, your tiger-fighting skills are really good, can you teach us one and a half moves?"
"Kungfu for killing tigers? Haha, beating a tiger is nothing. As long as you have trained your internal strength, you can kill ten tigers at once with one palm." After listening to what Master Kongkong said, Six People were even more surprised, because Kong Xi's brain was spinning so fast, and he suddenly knelt down and kowtowed to Master Kong Kong: "Master Kong Kong, please accept us as your disciples!" Seeing Kong Xi kneeling down to become your disciple, the five of them also knelt down together. Come down.
"Everyone, please get up. Just follow the instructions taught by Master Kong Xin. Let's meet again when we are destined." After Kong Kong finished speaking, he disappeared in an instant.
Buddhism pays attention to the word "fate". Since Master Kongkong said we will see each other again by fate, we can only wait until "fate" comes.
The six of them descended the hillside with regret, fearing that tigers or other ferocious beasts would appear again, so they quickly ran back to Shaolin without looking back.
As expected, the six people were punished by Master Kong Xin. Kong Xin asked them each to carry fifty loads of water to the release pond within one day. The stream from which the water was drawn to the release pond was more than 300 feet away. Fortunately, the bucket was a small one, so the six of them completed the task from morning till night. Although they were so tired that their backs ached, they could not hide their excitement because they met Master Kong Kong and knew Shaolin Kung Fu. It turned out to be so powerful, which inspired their determination to practice martial arts well. Unfortunately, Master Kongkong had no intention of accepting them as disciples.
Next, Master Kongxin began to teach Zhu Yu, Lan Ling'er, Kong Ling and Kong Xi Qinggong, because they were all able to release external energy, and Qinggong was actually the process of promoting martial arts practitioners by releasing external energy.
At the beginning, the four of them tried their best but could not lift themselves up because their internal strength was insufficient. Therefore, during this period, several people began to strengthen their internal strength training.
Finally one day, when Zhu Yu was meditating in his meditation room at night, his body floated up involuntarily, reaching a height of three feet above the bed. He couldn't help but become excited. However, with this excitement, the true energy in his body suddenly disappeared, and he felt heavy. Fell onto the bed. Zhu Yu remembered that Master Kongxin had repeatedly warned that when practicing internal skills, you must be focused on it, otherwise the movement of Qi will be blocked. Not only will it be difficult to improve your skills, but it will also lead to obsession if not done well, so he learned his lesson. He fell into silence again, and with the increase in external air, he flew up again. This time, his head almost hit the beam.
After another half month, Lan Ling'er, Kong Ling, and Kong Xi were able to fly into the air. Everyone's Qing Gong was considered an introduction. In the next step, as long as they practice diligently, their Qing Gong level will be improved step by step.
Time flies. In the blink of an eye, it has been five years since Zhu Yu came to Shaolin. At this time, Zhu Yu and Lan Ling'er are already the best of the younger generation in Shaolin. Although their internal strength is not outstanding, it has surpassed Kong Ling and Kong Xi. Kong Yuan and Kong Ying, who only started to practice later, were left even further behind by the two of them. They were even able to compete with their brothers who were four or five years older than them.
What's even more rare is that Zhu Yu and Lan Ling'er are also very skilled in swordsmanship. In a competition with his senior brothers, Zhu Yu defeated five of them in a row, and Lan Ling'er also surpassed three or two masters in swordsmanship. Brother, of course, Master Kong Xin has not taught them more advanced Shaolin martial arts. Kong Xin said that their basic skills are still far behind.
Shaolin Temple is the authentic martial arts school in the Central Plains. In addition to the Buddhist martial arts "Yi Jin Jing" brought by Patriarch Bodhidharma from India, there were also Indian monks who came to Shaolin and brought Buddhist martial arts classics. Of course, there are also many Shaolin martial arts books. The eminent monk wrote martial arts classics based on his own martial arts training experience. These are hidden in the Shaolin Sutra Pavilion and guarded by the eminent monks. Ordinary people cannot consult them. Therefore, most of the martial arts classics are only recorded on paper and are not No one learns it.
Precisely because of the complexity of Shaolin martial arts and the depth of martial arts classics, for more than a thousand years, many people who aspire to become masters of martial arts hope to worship Shaolin monks as their teachers and practice Shaolin Kung Fu. There are also some heretical people who have deliberate intentions. If you want to get a glimpse of Shaolin martial arts, it is precisely because of this that Shaolin Temple disciples must have an inspection period of several months or even half a year. Only after the Shaolin monks comprehensively examine each person's moral character can they decide whether to allow them to practice Shaolin martial arts. study.
In order to make the monks practice martial arts more consciously, three days after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month every year, the Shaolin Temple will conduct an inspection on the martial arts of the disciples. Only those who pass the inspection can practice the next level of more advanced martial arts. In the blink of an eye, the Shaolin Temple inspection The day of discipleship has come.
Early in the morning, Zhu Yu and Lan Ling'er arrived outside Damo Academy early in the morning. They were very excited and hoped to pass the test smoothly so that they could practice more advanced Shaolin Kung Fu with Master Kong Xin. In this way, they could practice martial arts in the Shaolin Temple. It can be shortened, and you can leave Shaolin as soon as possible and do what you should do.
Kong Xin took his disciples to the back mountain of Shaolin. There is a large lawn here. The lawn is surrounded by open areas on the north, south, east and south. There is a huge cliff with a height of 100 feet in the west. A waterfall floats down the cliff and falls next to the lawn. It flows into a pool next to the lawn, then flows into the Shaolin Temple, and then flows from the ditch on the side of the main hall of the Shaolin Temple to the hillside outside the temple. Shaolin water cultivation relies on this long-term mountain spring.
The first content was to assess the disciples' Qinggong. First, seven disciples in their forties sat cross-legged on the lawn, closed their eyes and fell into meditation. After a while, Master Kong Xin said "Let's go", and the seven disciples suddenly stood still. Soaring into the air, they flew seven or eight feet toward the waterfall. With their feet touching the ground, they flew another four or five feet to the foot of the cliff. Then, the seven people jumped up and climbed up the cliff next to the waterfall. After several ups and downs, seven people People reach the top of the cliff, pause for a moment at the top of the cliff, and then float down from the top of the cliff together, without any external force, to the place where they were meditating before.
Zhu Yu, Lan Ling'er, Kong Yuan, Kong Ying, Kong Ling, and Kong Xi couldn't help but be extremely surprised when they saw the Qing Kung of the seven. They didn't expect that the senior brothers who spent time together day and night could actually have such skills. Thinking about themselves I don’t know when I will be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with my senior brothers, and my heart feels cold.
What followed was a performance by seniors in their thirties and twenties. Many of them just climbed to the middle of the cliff. When they fell, they had to use the rocks protruding from the cliff to slow their fall. Their skills were obviously much weaker.
When it was the turn of Zhu, Yulan Ling'er and the four senior brothers to take the assessment, they could only fly a little three or two feet off the ground. When climbing the cliff, they could only climb four or five feet before they were unable to climb any higher. They showed some skills, but compared with their senior brothers, they were far behind. The four of them could not help but feel a little discouraged. Unexpectedly, the senior brothers gave them praise, because the four of them had only been practicing Qing Kung for a few months, and it was already commendable that they had such skills. .
No one was confused in the assessment of Qinggong, and everyone passed. The next step was to compete in swordsmanship. Kong Xin asked the disciples of similar ages to group up and compete one by one. Zhu Yu first fought against Kong Xi, and Kong Xi had already practiced Shaolin swordsmanship. Zhu Yu practiced Shaolin swordsmanship before, but Zhu Yu In swordsmanship, he beat his fellow seniors from the previous generation, and in swordsmanship he was better than himself, so as soon as Kong Xi came up, he used the 34th move among the thirty-six moves of the Vajra Sword Technique: Vajra Meditation, which is the 34th move in the Vajra Sword Technique. The killing move can only be used as a last resort. Of course, there is no such restriction in swordsmanship.
I saw Kong Xi twisting his body and swinging his sword straight towards Zhu Yu's legs. This sword move was a feint to cut Zhu Yu's legs with the sword. The actual move was to suddenly change his move and stab at Zhu Yu when the opponent was avoiding or blocking with a weapon. The opponent's chest is caught off guard and hit.
Zhu Yu was already familiar with the three sets of Shaolin swordsmanship. He could see through Kong Xi's moves at a glance. He stepped back slightly and raised his sword to protect his chest in advance.
Before Kong Xi could finish his sword move, he saw Zhu Yu protecting his chest with the sword. He knew that if he stabbed Zhu Yu at this moment, he would definitely block it, so he immediately changed his move. When he withdrew the sword, he used the move of King Kong Wangyue to stab Zhu Yu in the face. .
