Looking back, the Vajra Sword Technique was created by Master Hui Ke a thousand years ago. At that time, Master Hui Ke broke off his arm to seek Dharma, obtained the true transmission of Bodhidharma, and taught Zen Dharma to the public in Shaolin. At this time, it had been more than 10 years since the establishment of Shaolin Temple and the establishment of the temple. For hundreds of years, with the support of pilgrims, the Shaolin Temple has accumulated some gold, silver and valuables. Unfortunately, in the troubled times, Shaolin has become the target of bandits. It has been robbed by large groups of bandits many times, making the Shaolin Temple The monks were miserable. In order to prevent thieves and maintain normal teaching activities, Huike began to let the monks in the temple practice martial arts to defend themselves against enemies.
Before Huike entered Shaolin, he was a general in the Western Jin Dynasty. He practiced martial arts since he was a child. Not only was he highly skilled in martial arts, he was also familiar with military books and knew tactics. Patriarch Bodhidharma came from the west. Although he preached Buddhism, he also brought the yoga skills of Indian monks. Huike combined his martial arts with Indian yoga skills and created multiple sets of Shaolin skills, and the Diamond Sword The Dharma was first created by Hui Ke, and it was added and subtracted by many generations of Shaolin monks.
Since the time of Huiqi, the Shaolin Temple monks have used martial arts to protect Zen and use Zen to promote martial arts. They have practiced martial arts correctly, which has continued the incense of Shaolin Temple for thousands of years. They have not only popularized Zen methods, but also achieved Shaolin martial arts.
Although the moves of Diamond Sword Technique are simple and easy to learn, in order to achieve the state of mastery, it requires the support of internal and external skills. Therefore, when Huike teaches this set of sword techniques, the monks are required to practice the basic skills well and then work hard on each move.
The move of King Kong Moon Watching is unremarkable, but it emphasizes winning with speed, which often makes people unable to guard against it. It can be said that it is both skillful and clumsy. It is the thirty-fifth move of King Kong Sword Technique, and it is also one of the most powerful killing moves.
In terms of moves and swordsmanship, Kong Xi and Zhu Yu are on par with each other. Unfortunately, Kong Xi's internal strength is not as good as the others, so he loses the speed and momentum of his sword.
Seeing that the tip of Kong Xi's sword was about to stab his forehead, Zhu Yu dodged back and dodged Kong Xi's sword. Kong Xi stabbed the air with his sword. He wanted to put the sword back to stabilize his body, but he used too much force and failed to lean forward. Disappeared, Zhu Yu seized this fleeting opportunity and also used the King Kong Wangyue move. He stepped forward with his sword and stabbed Kong Xi. Seeing Kong Xi, he couldn't avoid it. Zhu Yu raised the sword a few inches, and the tip of the sword passed Kong Xi's head. After holding a sword flower, he quickly retreated, retracted the sword steadily, and inserted it into the scabbard.
Zhu Yu counterattacked with this move, causing Kong Xi to break out in a cold sweat. Seeing Zhu Yu withdraw his sword, he regained his composure, stepped aside and said, "Junior brother Zhu is very skilled in swordsmanship, but I, Kong Xi, am willing to be defeated."
Everyone expected Zhu Yu to win, but Zhu Yu defeated Kong Xi with one move. It can be seen that Zhu Yu's internal strength and understanding of swordsmanship are higher than ordinary people. If this continues, within ten years, Zhu Yu will definitely become The leader among the younger generations of Shaolin.
Next, Lan Ling'er and Kong Ling competed in swordsmanship. The two entered Shaolin to practice martial arts with Master Kong Xin. They often sparred together, and they naturally knew each other well. In this scene, the two agreed to compete with Shaolin Zhuifeng swordsmanship. .
As soon as Lan Ling'er came up, she glanced at everyone confidently, slowly pulled out the sword, swiped it, pointed the tip of the sword to the ground, and faced Kong Ling opposite.
At this time, Lan Ling'er has grown into a tall and graceful girl. Her willow eyebrows, phoenix eyes, and red lips show her feminine beauty. Her long hair, snow-white skin, and pointed chin exude an extraordinary feeling. With her refined elegance and light red suit, she is undoubtedly a beautiful sight in front of the Shaolin monks. Of course, Zhu Yu was not a monk ordained, but he had lived in a temple for many years, and his dress and behavior were not much different from those of a monk. Compared with Lan Ling'er, he was not conspicuous.
Kong Ling saw Lan Ling'er's sword pointing to the ground, and knew that she was always conceited and would not draw her sword first, so she also took out the sword, put her foot down, flew upwards more than ten feet high, and raised the sword to stab Lan Ling'er's head.
The Wind-Chasing Sword Technique and the Diamond Sword Technique are also divided into thirty-six moves. The difference is that the Diamond Sword Technique is thick and heavy, while the Wind-Chasing Sword Technique is light and agile.
Kong Ling's move is called Han Xue Fei Hua, which means that when the attacker falls, he must stab the opponent's head and shoulders thirteen times in a row. The tip of the sword is like a flower and like falling snow.
When Lan Ling'er saw Kong Ling's sword coming, she didn't dodge. She just lowered her body and raised her sword to draw a circle upwards, which just blocked Kong Ling's sword. When the two swords intersected, there was only a "dang" sound, and Kong Ling's sword was struck. He stumbled, and his body had to fall to Lan Ling'er's side along with the sword.
Lan Ling'er's move is called Chen Yu Luo Yan, which is exactly the move that dismantles Han Xue Fei Hua. It turns out that of the thirty-six moves of Chai Feng Sword Technique, the first eighteen moves are offensive moves, and the last eighteen moves are defensive moves. Each attack move is There is a corresponding defensive move, and offensive moves and defensive moves can be transformed into each other. It is actually the upper level of Shaolin swordsmanship. This may be the reason why monks of the Shaolin Temple have created countless swordsmanship in the past, but the Zhuifeng swordsmanship can last forever. .
Lan Ling'er solved Kong Ling'er's move, took advantage of the moment Kong Ling landed on the ground, and made a sideways move to entangle Wan Guan. The sword stabbed Kong Ling's ribs. Kong Ling saw Lan Ling'er's sword coming, raised the sword from top to bottom, and slashed at Lan Ling's ribs. On top of Er's sword body, Lan Ling'er's sword body was slashed by Kong Ling's sword. The direction was tilted, and the sword tip stabbed an inch into the soil. Kong Ling's move was named after all the gold and silver was scattered, so the name was appropriate.
Lan Ling'er and Kong Ling dismantled seven or eight moves in an instant, and the brothers and uncles around them cheered. This aroused their fighting spirit. The sword moves became faster and faster, and after a while they dismantled more than ten moves.
Kong Xin saw that the two of them had fought more than 20 moves and couldn't decide the winner. He was worried that the two of them would miss the fight and hurt someone, so he had to let the two stop fighting and make peace.
Next, the disciples present compared and tested their sword and palm skills. Each one had its own victory or defeat, so there is no need to go into details.
The martial arts assessment greatly increased Zhu Yu's confidence in practicing martial arts, but he also knew that Shaolin martial arts is broad and profound, and it is difficult to learn it thoroughly without hard work, especially the cultivation of internal strength and light kung fu. He and his senior brother and uncle They are still far apart.
That night, Lan Ling'er, Kong Xi, Kong Ling, Kong Yuan, and Kong Ying gathered in the Zhuyu Zen Room again, talking to each other about the day's martial arts competition.
"If it hadn't been for my junior sister's surrender, I might have been defeated by your sword today with Shentu Guiyue's move." Kong Ling, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, said.
"Of course, the tip of Chang'e's sleeve-throwing sword was missed by half an inch. I could have dodged sideways and stabbed you in the throat with Yushu Linfeng. I was afraid that you would be embarrassed in front of all the senior brothers, so I didn't do it. This move." Lan Ling'er, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, said with her mouth open.
"Junior brother Zhu is very skilled. He has mastered a set of diamond sword techniques. I hope he will be merciful in future competitions." Kong Xi's eyes were full of admiration.
Hearing such compliments, Zhu Yu blushed and said with some embarrassment: "I, I just followed the practice taught by the master, and there is nothing outstanding about it. Senior brother, senior brother is exaggerating."
"Senior Brother Zhu has a higher understanding than others. Everyone can see this, so don't be humble." Hearing what Lan Ling'er said, Zhu Yu's face turned even redder, and she was speechless for a moment.
"I wonder when Junior Brother Kong Ying and I will reach your level of skill?" Kong Yuan sighed.
Kong Yuan and Kong Ying, who were sitting cross-legged on the ground next to Kong Xi, were the last to practice martial arts. Their qualifications were not as good as those of Kong Ling and Kong Xi, and even worse than Zhu Yu and Lan Ling'er. They were often scolded by their masters and were also I was often laughed at by my senior brothers, so I said this.
"It's okay. Martial arts training can't be accomplished in three or two years. Diligence can make up for weakness. As long as you two can endure hardships, you will be successful one day." Lan Ling'er comforted.
"By the way, Junior Brother Zhu Yu, you have been in Shaolin for five years, and we still don't know where you live and whether your parents are safe?" Kong Xi suddenly asked about Zhu Yu's family affairs, but Zhu Yu couldn't help but shake his head and sigh: "My parents They have been captured by the army for nine years, and I still don’t know whether they are dead or alive.”
Kong Ling said: "Junior brother Zhu Yu, have you ever inquired about their whereabouts?"
"After my parents were arrested, I was raised by Master Kongshi of Zhengxu Zen Temple in Shizishan Temple. The master also sent someone to search for my parents, but he said that my parents were most likely locked up in the Jinyiwei Prison in Beijing. , but the place is heavily guarded, so it is inconvenient to go in and inquire, unless I have perfected my peerless martial arts." Zhu Yu said as he began to sob.
"Junior Brother Zhu Yu, you don't have to worry. One day I will ask my father to take someone to the Jinyi Guard Prison, and I will know the whereabouts of your parents." Hearing what Zhu Yu said, Lan Ling'er started to get a little angry.
Seeing Zhu Yu looking at Lan Ling'er doubtfully, Kong Xi explained: "Lan Ling'er's father is the head of the Tianlong Sect, the largest sect in the world. Naturally, he is not afraid of people from the court. Moreover, his brother Lan Tian has also I went to Shaolin and practiced Shaolin Kung Fu with Master Kongwu for many years."
Hearing this, Zhu Yu suddenly realized that Lan Ling'er had such a father to break the taboo of transmitting Shaolin Kung Fu to men but not to women, and came to Shaolin alone to learn martial arts.
Several people said something to each other, and before they knew it, everyone was tired. Lan Ling'er, Kong Xi and others said goodbye and went back to the meditation room to rest. Zhu Yu also closed the door and prepared to go to bed, but heard the room's voice. A voice really reached my ears: "Zhu Yu, follow me."
Zhu Yu pushed the door open and went out of the house, looked towards the roof, and saw a figure flashing on the roof under the moonlight, flying towards the outside of the temple.
Although Zhu Yu's Qinggong was still short of fire, he was able to climb up a room and jump over the wall. He raised his spirits and climbed up to the roof. He saw a black figure standing on the outer wall of the temple not far from the room. The black figure seemed to be coming from behind. Waiting for Zhu Yu, he saw that Zhu Yu had already climbed onto the roof. The black shadow jumped down the courtyard wall and rushed outside the temple. Zhu Yu also jumped over the courtyard wall and followed the black shadow towards the outside of the temple.
Heiying's Qinggong was obviously much better than Zhu Yu's, so he had to stop from time to time and wait for Zhu Yu. When Zhu Yu was only more than ten feet away from him, he started running wildly. After a while, the two of them were a few meters away from the Shaolin Temple. Among the mountains inside and outside.
Under the bright moonlight, Zhu Yu saw the black shadow coming to a cliff. When Zhu Yu was approaching the cliff, the black shadow turned around, flew up the cliff, and disappeared.
Zhu Yu has been practicing in Shaolin for several years, and has achieved some success in Qinggong. Although he cannot fly directly up the cliff like the man in front of him, he can climb the cliff easily. He just raised his breath and used his hands and feet together, and he came soon. When he reached a platform several feet wide between the cliffs, he looked up and saw an old monk sitting in the middle of the platform. Needless to say, it was the old monk in front of him who led him here, but he didn't know what his intention was.
Zhu Yu stood firm on the platform and took a closer look at the old monk. He found that it was Master Kongkong whom he had met before. He knelt down and knelt down and said, "Junior Zhu Yu has met Master Kongkong. I wonder what the master's instructions were for bringing this junior here."
Master Kongkong smiled and said: "Nephew Zhu, there is no need to be formal. I called you here tonight to teach you a Shaolin Kung Fu called Shaolin Tathagata Vajra Palm. As long as you master this technique, you will have few opponents in the world. ”
Hearing this, Zhu Yu couldn't help but be happy. She knelt down again and said, "Disciple, pay homage to the master."
"Nephew Zhu Xian, there is no need to become a disciple. Please get up quickly!" Master Kongkong stepped forward to help Zhu Yu up. "From today onwards, for three months, you can just come here to practice at Hai hour every night."
"Master Kongkong, my nephew is unknown, why do you want to teach me martial arts alone?" Zhu Yu stood up and asked.
"Zhu Yu, you are still young. Master Kongshi will tell you the answer in the future. Now, just concentrate on your practice." After Master Kongkong finished speaking, he stood up and took Zhu Yu to a cave on the cliff. It is large, several feet square, with a stone platform in the middle that is as tall as half a person. The stone platform has traces of grinding and looks very smooth.
"A thousand years ago, Patriarch Bodhidharma faced the wall here for nine years to explain the essence of Zen. His shadows shone on the stone wall." Master Kongkong said, pointing to the stone wall behind the stone platform.
With the moonlight shining into the cave from outside, Zhu Yu saw a lifelike figure on the stone wall.
"Practicing Zen is all about tranquility. Monks in Shaolin Temple often achieve great success in practicing martial arts. In addition to Master Huike's advocacy, the main reason is that Shaolin focuses on Zen practice. The monks can calm down and practice martial arts wholeheartedly. Master Kongkong said thoughtfully.
"Zhu Yu will practice with all his heart and live up to the expectations of the masters." Zhu Yu said happily.
With the teachings of Master Kong Xin and now the blessing of Master Kong Kong, Zhu Yu is full of confidence in learning Shaolin Kung Fu.
Tathagata's Powerful Palm is one of the unique skills of Shaolin. It has never been taught to outsiders. In each generation of disciples, at most, only two or three carefully selected people can receive the true teaching. Because this technique is so powerful, if it is learned by outsiders, The consequences are endless.
Different from ordinary palm techniques, Tathagata Powerful Divine Palm does not pay attention to moves, but focuses on the cultivation of internal strength. After mastering it, you can use it according to the situation and use it as you like, but it is quite difficult to cultivate internal strength.
Kongkong asked Zhu Yu to sit cross-legged on the stone platform facing the wall where Bodhidharma used to be, and taught him the inner methods of Tathagata Hercules Palm. Zhu Yu wrote them down one by one, because the training method of Tathagata Hercules Palm was very different from the ordinary skills. Qi came from The Yongquan point on the sole of the foot gathers and absorbs the Qi of heaven and earth. The accumulated Qi of oneself and the Qi of heaven and earth rise from the Yuzhen point on the sole of the foot to the Baihui point, and then go down from the Tanzhong point to the Qi sea. When the Qi gathers to After a certain level, it can be emitted from the palm of your hand.
In the blink of an eye, an hour passed, and Zhu Yu had already kept the training method in mind. Master Kongkong asked Zhu Yu to go back to the temple to rest, and asked him to go to the cave to practice Qi for an hour every night, because in the process of practicing the Tathagata's powerful palm, It is easy to go crazy, so you can only practice under his care. At the same time, you can't tell anyone about your training methods. On the one hand, it is a secret, and on the other hand, you are worried that other people will go wrong while practicing and endanger their lives.
Of course, because the Qi of heaven and earth is stronger in this cave between the cliffs, when you practice Qi here, you can gain Qi several times faster than outside.
In this way, every night after midnight, Zhu Yu quietly evaded the night-watch monks, jumped out of the courtyard wall, and went to the cave to practice the Tathagata's Powerful Palm with Master Kong Kong. In the blink of an eye, more than two months had passed.
That night, Zhu Yu was in the Zen room and listened quietly to the sound of monks walking around and talking. As usual, he slowly opened the door of the Zen room, walked around the Zen room with light feet and hands, and came to the wall in the backyard of the room. As soon as he regained his strength, he jumped over the courtyard wall and ran towards the cliff where Master Kongkong lived. However, he could not move more than a hundred feet, but he saw a shadowy figure standing in front of him. Zhu Yugang wanted to ask who the person was, but saw the person opposite raised his head. With a palm of his hand, he hit his chest.
Zhu Yu didn't expect that the opponent would suddenly attack him. In desperation, he unconsciously used the power of Tathagata's powerful palm to hit the opponent. However, he heard a "bang" sound, and the person opposite him made a light stroke with his left palm and released the weapon. He lost Zhu Yu's strength and said with a smile: "In just two months, little donor Zhu has mastered the powerful Vajra Palm technique to some extent. He is indeed a martial arts prodigy. From tomorrow, Master Kong Xin will teach the Shaolin Flower Nian Finger Technique. , Little Donor Zhu can get started quickly."
At this moment, through the dim moonlight, Zhu Yu could clearly see that the person opposite was Master Kongwu, the Abbot of Shaolin. He knelt down and worshiped: "Junior Zhu Yu has met Master Abbot."
"Please get up quickly, little benefactor Zhu. I'm here to trouble you to tell Master Kongkong and ask him to meet me at the back mountain at 4 o'clock tomorrow morning. I have something important to discuss." After Master Kongwu finished speaking, he disappeared in an instant. In the dark night.
Zhu Yu always thought that for a long time, no one in the temple knew that he had secretly practiced Tathagata's Powerful Vajra Palm with Master Kong Kong. He never thought that Master Kong Wu, the abbot, knew everything about it. What made Zhu Yu even more strange was that, Master Kongwu wants to find Master Kongkong, but he has to bring the message himself, and the meeting place must be outside the Shaolin Temple. I don’t know what secrets are hidden in this.
With questions in mind, Zhu Yu ran wildly, and after a while, she came to the cave where Master Kongkong practiced.
Seeing Master Kongkong, Zhu Yu told him what Abbot Kongwu said, and then asked: "Master Kongkong, why don't you live in the Shaolin Temple instead of suffering the cold in this remote cave, and Master Kongwu Want to see you, but outside the Shaolin Temple?" Zhu Yu had this question since the day he met Master Kongkong. He just thought it would be impolite to ask, so he never asked. Now he had the courage to ask.
