Because there are so many unique skills in Shaolin, although Jiuyang Gong is listed as Shaolin's unique skill, there have been very few monks specializing in this skill over the years.
Zhang Sanfeng said: "When Pindao served Master Jueyuan, he was taught the Nine Suns True Sutra. This sutra is profound and profound, but Pindao was young at the time and did not learn everything. He still regrets it. Later, Master Jueyuan There were three people who were lucky enough to hear the chanting in the barren mountain. One was the founder of the Emei sect, Guo Xiangnvxia, one was the Zen master Wose of the noble sect, and the other was Pindao. Pindao was the youngest and the least qualified. , and has no foundation in martial arts, so among the three sects, his income is the least."
Kong Zhi said coldly: "That's not the case. Master Zhang has served Jue Yuan since he was a child. How could he not pass it on to you secretly? Today the Wudang Sect is famous all over the world. That is Jue Yuan's contribution."
Zhang Sanfeng smiled slightly, and without arguing with Kong Zhi, he told Wuji exactly why he was struck by the Xuanming Divine Palm and why the poison in his body could not be driven out.
"So in order to save my disciple, the old Taoist had no choice but to shamelessly go to Shaolin to ask for the skills. The old Taoist is willing to tell the Shaolin sect all the Wudang skills and the Nine Yang Scriptures he has learned. He also hopes that the Shaolin sect can teach him what he has learned. , both sides understand and complement each other.”
It can be said that in order to save Zhang Wuji's life, Zhang Sanfeng lowered his body very low and pleaded with Kong Wen sincerely.
Unexpectedly, Kong Wen heard this, pondered for a long time, and said: "There are seventy-two unique skills in our Shaolin sect. In the past eight hundred years, no monk or lay disciple has been able to practice more than twelve of them. What Master Zhang has learned is unparalleled in ancient and modern times. However, our sect only feels that there are too many martial arts passed down by the ancestors of the past generation, and it is extremely difficult to learn only one tenth of them. Master Zhang offers another magical skill in exchange for our sect. Although the kindness is appreciated, but for this As far as pie is concerned, it is superfluous.”
After a pause, he continued: "The Wudang sect's martial arts originated from Shaolin. If the two sides exchange martial arts today, people in the world who don't know the truth will say that although the Wudang sect has its origins in Shaolin, the Shaolin sect also learned from Zhang Zhenren. I have benefited from it. The young monk is the head of Shaolin, but he cannot bear such rumors."
Song Xing sighed secretly when he heard the words, and said to himself: "As the head of the largest martial arts sect, known as one of the four great monks, you are so disrespectful to the sect, and your mind is too narrow. No wonder Shaolin can't flourish in your hands. These In 2016, there was a faint tendency to be overtaken by Wudang."
Zhang Sanfeng had something to ask for, so he couldn't directly accuse him, so he had to say: "Three of you are sacred monks in this world, and they are compassionate. This child's life is at stake. I hope you can understand the Buddha's heart of saving the world and save people, so I will comply with your request. The poor Taoist feels the high righteousness."
But no matter how much he said, the three Shaolin monks always declined politely.
Song Xing looked at him coldly from the side, wondering why Zhang Sanfeng still kept his low voice even though he knew it was a waste of words.
He did not go to the Kongtong Sect, but first chose to accompany Zhang Sanfeng to Shaolin. He was naturally prepared to help Zhang Sanfeng rob him if Shaolin disagreed.
Zhang Sanfeng had been unruly all his life, and Song Xing believed that he could also see his intentions. Since Kong Wen and others would not relent, with his and Zhang Sanfeng's fighting power, they dared not say anything about flattening Shaolin, but forcing the other party to use Nine Yang Kung was still Somewhat certain.
Seeing that Zhang Sanfeng was still persuading, Song Xing finally said impatiently: "You old monk, you are ignorant. Although Shaolin is a martial arts sect, it is different from ordinary sects. There is a saying in Buddhism that saving a person's life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. The Nine Yang Kung Fu can be combined into one, and it can save this child's life. It kills two birds with one stone, but you are entangled in the old things from a hundred years ago. Could it be that after practicing Buddhism all your life, you have cultivated it into the dog's belly?"
His words made Kong Wen blush, but what Song Xing said was indeed true. People in Buddhism always attach great importance to good deeds, and would leave a ray of hope even when facing enemies.
Kongzhi and Kongxing, however, turned red and said angrily: "You are so impudent, you son Song Xing, you dare to speak nonsense in Shaolin and insult my Shaolin!"
Song Xing said disdainfully: "Why, Master Zhang is so kind to negotiate with you. He went to Shaolin to negotiate at a hundred years old, which shows his sincerity. Human lives are at stake, but you monks are unwilling to save them because of their prejudices. Do you deserve to say that you are a Buddhist?"
Kong Wen also lowered his face and said: "Nine Yang Kung Fu is not the best among the many techniques in our temple, but after all, it is also the hard work of our ancestors. Could it be that if anyone just says a few words, we will enshrine the technique Can’t make it?”
Song Xing laughed angrily: "Old monk, don't change the concept secretly. Master Zhang was clearly talking about exchanging Wudang's unique skills and Wudang Nine-Yang Kung Fu, but how come it got into your mouth and turned into him bullying the weak. Da When Mo Nian traveled east, if he was as ungrateful as you, monk, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to achieve the many unique skills of Shaolin like you."
Shaolin Temple's martial arts originated from Bodhidharma, and the most well-known ones are the Yi Jin Jing and the Seventy-Two Special Skills.
However, the seventy-two unique skills of Shaolin that have been passed down for thousands of years were not all created by Bodhidharma. Most of them were created by eminent monks of later generations who learned from the martial arts of other sects.
The Bodhidharma Academy of Shaolin Temple specializes in the study of martial arts of its own sect, while the Prajna Hall specializes in the intensive study of martial arts of various schools and sects in the world.
Shaolin disciples are practicing martial arts. After returning to the temple to see the abbot and master, they first go to the Discipline Academy to report whether they have committed any offenses, and then go to the Prajna Hall to report their experiences and knowledge.
As long as there is a move or move in other martial arts that is suitable, the monks of Prajna Hall will write it down.
After thousands of years of accumulation, he has a thorough knowledge of the martial arts of all sects in the world.
That's why Song Xing felt particularly unhappy when he saw these monks who were so proud of themselves.
"Ancestor Bodhidharma taught his disciples the method of strengthening the body. A healthy body will strengthen the mind, and the soul will be easy to understand. However, later generations of Shaolin disciples were obsessed with martial arts, so much so that they neglected the basics and failed to understand the purpose of Bodhidharma's teaching of martial arts. It's a pity. , deplorable.”
Faced with Song Xing's ridicule, the faces of all the Shaolin monks turned red, but they were unable to express any words to defend themselves.
After all, what Song Xing said is true. The seventy-two unique skills of Shaolin were created by the ancestors who learned from the martial arts of other sects. As a Buddhist, Shaolin does not practice Buddhism, but indulges in martial arts and interferes in martial arts affairs, so it is not qualified to refute it.
Seeing that Kongzhi and Kongxing were looking ugly and about to start a conflict, Zhang Sanfeng sighed, looked gloomy, raised his hands and said, "In that case, it's very presumptuous for me to say this, it's causing too much nuisance, so please forgive me and let's go." .”
He bowed and bowed, took Wuji's hand, greeted Song Xing, and left the temple.
After leaving the Shaolin Temple and descending to Shaoshi Mountain, Song Xing asked Zhang Sanfeng in confusion: "Why did Master stop me?"
He didn't believe that Zhang Sanfeng couldn't tell at the time that he had decided to snatch the Nine Yang Kung from Shaolin.
Although he knew that in an unnamed valley in the Kunlun Mountains thousands of miles away, the white ape contained the original Nine Yang Manual, but there was no specific address in the mountains stretching thousands of miles, so it was not easy to find the scripture.
Zhang Sanfeng sighed: "Since Shaolin is unwilling, taking it by force will inevitably cause casualties. To save Wuji's life, killing innocent Shaolin people is not what I want."
Song Xing nodded, understanding Zhang Sanfeng's concerns.
With his and Zhang Sanfeng's skills, if they had a fight in Shaolin, there would definitely be heavy casualties.
Although the old Taoist priest had a free and easy temperament, he caused too many murders just to save Zhang Wuji, which was not the old Taoist's original intention.
Seeing what Zhang Sanfeng said, Song Xing had no choice but to say no more, and the three of them walked down the mountain in silence.
