More than two hundred years ago, at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, there were frequent wars and the people were in dire straits.
Masters from various factions in the martial arts world, some were just seeking fame, and some actually joined different parties to save the people from the fire and water. As a result, a bloody storm broke out in the martial arts world, and many people in the martial arts world lost their heads and places.
To protect yourself, strengthening yourself is one of the ways out, and to do this, you can only find profound martial arts secrets.
At that time, one of the disciples of the Wudang Sect named Ding Cheng was 18 years old. In order to find profound martial arts secrets for Wudang, he went to Shaolin alone and broke off his arm to seek Dharma. The abbot of the Shaolin Temple was grateful for his devotion to the Buddha and accepted him as a disciple. .
After Ding Cheng entered the Shaolin Temple, he kept a low profile. The monks only saw Ding Cheng sweeping the floor with his head down, helping cook at Jixiang Kitchen or doing farm work in the back mountain. This work lasted for ten years.
During this process, the abbot of the Shaolin Temple repeatedly proposed that Ding Cheng practice Shaolin Kung Fu, but Ding Cheng declined politely because of his physical inconvenience.
However, on the eleventh year since Ding Cheng came to Shaolin, Ding Cheng suddenly disappeared.
One day half a year after Ding Cheng disappeared, the monks from the Sutra Collection Pavilion of Shaolin Temple were sorting out scriptures and martial arts secrets in the basement. They were surprised to find that the two scriptures on the list, the Great Yi Jing and the Little Yi Jing, were missing.
The monks searched everywhere but found nothing suspicious. Finally, the monks suspected Ding Cheng.
Anyone who joins the Shaolin Temple as a monk must have supervisory monks record the new monk's family background and other relevant information. The monk found Ding Cheng's record when he arrived at the Shaolin Temple, but found that Ding Cheng's record only had one home location, and sent the monks to search according to the location. , but found that there was no such person in the place.
With the attitude of giving it a try, the monks searched the monk's room where he lived, but could not find any clues.
Just when everyone was about to walk out of the monk's room, the young monk suddenly stepped on a brick under his feet. The young monk screamed and his body sank several feet to the ground. When the monks pulled the young monk up, a hole suddenly appeared under the young monk.
At this moment, the monks present understood everything. As expected, they followed this cave and found a sealed exit in the basement of the Sutra Pavilion.
"Amitabha, you are so good! Donor Ding can persist in digging holes for ten years. If he practiced martial arts, he would have become a great talent." The abbot master stood in the basement of the Sutra Pavilion, watching the monks listen to the knocking sound, and removed the underground holes. When a young monk's head was exposed from the bricks, he couldn't help but sigh.
"Master Abbot, Ding Cheng didn't want to practice martial arts, but he spent ten years stealing the Great and Small Book of Changes. Why?" asked a middle-aged monk.
"This Ding Cheng must be a disciple of a certain sect. He deliberately wanted to obtain this sutra so that the masters in the sect can practice it, but he made a miscalculation."
"Miscalculation? Master Abbot, where do you start talking about this?" the middle-aged monk asked.
"He didn't know that the Great and Small Book of Changes are martial arts that can only be practiced on the basis of Tathagata's powerful palm. Therefore, he dug a hole for ten years, but in the end it was all in vain." After finishing speaking, he recited Amitabha three times in a row, turned around and left. Go to the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion.
Decades later, Ding Cheng had become the leader of the Wudang Sect. He carved the Great Book of Changes on the cliff of Dishui Cave, then destroyed it, and hid the Lesser Book of Changes in a cave under the cliff of Dishui Cave. Ding Cheng died. Later, his disciples put the cliff ape he raised in the dripping cave to protect the large and small I Chings on and under the cliff.
Having said this, the wise master looked around at everyone, clasped his hands, closed his eyes, moved his mouth slightly, and started chanting the sutra.
"Master Wufeng, I still don't understand. How can Master Ding Cheng predict that the cliff will collapse after Ya Yuan's death?" Lan Ling'er asked.
"This question is actually very simple. First, the cliff ape will always die. Second, have you noticed that the water falling on the cliff eventually flows underground. After years of erosion, the bottom of the cliff will naturally be washed away. The water erosion and the heavy snowfall this night and early morning have increased the weight of the cliff. The cliff cannot bear it and will naturally collapse." Master Wufeng has been on Wudang Mountain all year round, so he has naturally observed this matter.
Suddenly, there was a roaring sound under everyone's feet, and then their feet began to shake slightly, as if there was an earthquake.
"Everyone, step back quickly, the cliff is about to collapse!" Master Wise Man suddenly opened his eyes, turned around and said to everyone.
After hearing this, everyone gathered strength and flew towards the hillside behind them. As soon as everyone flew a few dozen feet, they heard another rumble behind them. They couldn't help but turn around and saw the huge cliff in front of them, starting to move towards them. Sit down.
At the beginning, the cliff fell very slowly. Gradually, the cliff fell faster and faster. Suddenly, there was a loud "boom" sound, which was thousands of feet wide, hundreds of feet thick, and hundreds of feet high. The huge high cliff suddenly disappeared from sight, and hundreds of thousands of kilograms of snow were thrown into the air. Everyone felt that the white field in front of them began to rise, then fell and disappeared before their eyes.
Just as the cliff fell, everyone suddenly felt a vibration under their feet. It started slightly, and then became more and more intense. Finally, everyone was shaken to the point of losing their balance, so they had to lift up and lift up. After falling, they pointed their toes again. About a quarter of an hour passed after the ground lifted. After the vibrations under our feet slowly calmed down, everyone fell down steadily again.
The rumbling echoes of the distant mountains continued for almost a quarter of an hour before they slowly returned to calm. The world suddenly became eerily quiet. Everyone stood there, and no one said a word for a long time.
"Let's go down and look for the Little Book of Changes!" Master Wufeng broke the calm.
Everyone came to the edge of the cliff and looked down, and saw that the former Dishui Cliff had now completely collapsed. It was more than a hundred feet deep from where they were standing. According to the words in the Great Book of Changes, the Little Book of Changes The hiding place should be seventy or eighty feet away from where everyone is standing.
Lan Ling'er, Duan Shiqi and Zhang Shijun, who were weak in qinggong, waited on the cliff while the other seven people raised their spirits and climbed down the cliff.
The seven people lined up in a line and descended to a place about sixty feet away to start searching. When the cliff opposite fell, a lot of powder and snow from smashed rocks were thrown onto the cliff, making it more difficult to find the cave. However, Everyone searched carefully inch by inch. Although it took some time, no cave, no matter how small, was missed.
After searching for almost half an hour, the seven people finally found a cave entrance ninety meters deep from the trail above.
The entrance of the cave is very small, only one person can enter. Zhu Yu is the smallest, followed by Master Wu Xin, Wu Xin is in front, and Zhu Yu is behind. They each took out the fire sticks, started a fire, lit the firewood they had prepared before, and walked into the cave.
The cave was very deep, with twists and turns. After walking more than ten feet, the two of them found nothing. They couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, but since they entered, they must find the end.
After walking another ten feet or so, under the light of the torch, the two discovered that the cave had reached the end. They were surprised to find a clay pot over a foot high and about half a foot in diameter underground.
Wu Xin and Zhu Yu were delighted when they saw the clay pot. The Little Book of Changes that Ding Cheng stole in the Shaolin Temple must be in the clay pot.
Wuxin handed his torch to Zhu Yu, opened the pottery pot, and saw a yellowed silk thread on the top of the pottery pot. Wuxin carefully took out the silk silk, opened it, and found a line on it: Whoever opens this pot, please remove the small piece of silk in the pot. The Yijing and the Great Yijing on the stone wall were copied and returned to the Shaolin Temple, where Ding Cheng, a disciple of the Wudang Sect, thanked them.
Below, there is a layer of charcoal to absorb the moisture in the jar and ensure that the scriptures inside will not become moldy due to water absorption.
After taking out the charcoal, the two saw a silk package underneath. Wu Xin carefully took out the silk package and opened it layer by layer. A book that looked new was in front of them.
Wu Xin held the book, and the two of them exited the cave one after another. Several people outside the cave were very happy to see the book in Wu Xin's hand. Only the wise master looked at Zhu Yu and Wu Xin expressionlessly.
Wuxin told the wise master and others waiting outside the cave how they found the pottery pot after entering the cave, and the words written on the piece of silk on the pottery pot.
"It's hard for this donor Ding. In this case, we happen to be passing by Shaolin on this trip, so let's go see Master Kongwu!"
"Great, I'm going to Shaolin, I'm going to Shaolin."
Hearing this, Lan Ling'er jumped up and suddenly felt that no one was responding. She quickly covered her mouth and looked around. When she saw everyone looking at him with strange eyes, she subconsciously stuck out her tongue.
