Chapter 2 Chapter Two

The two walked up the mountain slowly and went straight to the gate of the temple, but there was no one there. He Zudao said: "I'm not going in anymore, just ask that monk to come out and say something." He said loudly: "He Zudao in Kunlun Mountains visited Shaolin Temple, and I have a message to tell you." More than a dozen huge bells rang together, and the sound of Dangdang shook all the mountains. Suddenly, the gate of the temple was wide open, and there were two rows of gray-robed monks coming out from left and right. There were fifty-four people on the left and fifty-four people on the right, a total of one hundred and eight people. They were disciples of the Arhat Hall. Arhat number.Eighteen monks followed, gray robes and pale yellow cassocks, all older than the disciples of the Arhat Hall, and disciples of the higher generation Bodhidharma Hall.After a while, seven old monks wearing large checkered robes came out.The faces of the seven monks are all wrinkled, the youngest is over seventy years old, and the old one is ninety years old, they are the seven elders of Xinchan Hall.Then Abbot Tianming came out slowly, the first Zen Master Wuxiang in the Bodhidharma Hall on the left, and the first Zen Master Wuxu in the Arhat Hall on the right.Pan Tiangeng, Fang Tianlao and Wei Tianwang followed behind.Finally, there are seventy or eighty lay disciples of Shaolin sect.

That day He Zudao sneaked into the Arhat Hall and left a brief note in the hands of Luohan Jianglong. This martial art has already shocked the abbot and Wu Se and Wu Ping.A few days later, Pan Tiangeng and others arrived from the Western Regions, and when it came to dating and fighting, the eminent monks in the temple became even more wary.Due to the long distance of the Western Region Shaolin branch, they have rarely communicated with Zhongzhou Shaolin for decades, but all the eminent monks in the temple know that the master uncle Ku Hui who went to the Western Regions to start the sect was really amazing in martial arts. His apprentices and grandchildren are also extraordinary.Listening to Pan Tiangeng and others' words, they did not dare to underestimate the three sages of Kunlun. They expected that the good ones would not come and the bad ones would come, so the temple stepped up their precautions.The abbot also issued a decree that all monks and lay disciples within five hundred miles would return to the monastery to listen to the tune.

At the beginning, the monks also thought that the three sages of Kunlun were three people, but after hearing from Pan Tiangeng and others, they realized that there was only one person. As for his appearance and age, Pan Tiangeng and others were not very clear about it, they only knew that he was a master of piano, sword and chess.Playing the qin and playing chess, both of which are mind-relieving, are greatly tabooed by Zen Buddhism. The monks in Shaolin Temple have always ignored them, but all the masters in the temple who are proficient in swordsmanship have stepped up their training to compete with this madman known as the "Sword Master". Higher.

Brother Pan Tiangeng thought to himself that this matter was caused by himself and should be settled by himself, so he rode a horse every day, patrolling in front of and behind the mountain, determined to stop this guy who claimed to be the "Three Sages of Qin, Chess, and Sword" and beat him to death. Before entering the gate of the temple, he crawled back backwards first, and then returned to the temple to compete with the monks, so that the Shaolin sect of the Western Regions would overwhelm the Shaolin sect of the Central Plains.Unexpectedly, in the battle in Shiting, He Zudao only exerted half his strength, and the three of them fled in defeat.

As soon as Zen Master Tianming got the news, he knew that Shaolin Temple was facing a critical moment of prosperity and disgrace today, but he estimated that his martial arts with Wuwu and Wuxiang might not be much better than Pan Tiangeng and the other three, so he had to invite out of the meditation hall for seven days. Come to fight.It's just that no one knows how deep the martial arts of the Seven Elders of Xinchan are, and whether they can really defeat the three sages of Kunlun in an emergency. When old abbot Tianming saw He Zudao and Guo Xiang, he folded his palms together and said, "This one must be the Layman He who is known as the Three Sages of Qin, Sword and Chess. The old monk failed to meet him from afar, and begged for forgiveness." He Zudao bowed and saluted , Said: "What's the point of being late, and the crazy name of the 'Three Saints', what's the point! It's very disturbing to disturb the temple, and it's disturbing all the eminent monks to come out of the temple to meet them, so how can we be restrained?"

Tianming thought to himself: "This madman is not crazy when he talks. Seeing that he is only about thirty years old, how can he defeat Pan Tiangeng and the other three in one fell swoop?" He said: "You are welcome, Layman He, please come in and serve tea. This A female layman..." The words were rather embarrassing. He Zudao listened to what he said obviously meant to reject Guo Xiang from entering the temple, he became mad suddenly, he looked up to the sky and laughed, and said: "Old abbot, late birth to Baocha was originally entrusted by someone to pass on a message. As soon as I said this, I wanted to clap my hands and go, but Baocha favors boys over girls, and there are too many inexplicable rules and regulations, but the late students are a little bit blind. You must know that the Buddhadharma is boundless, and all living beings are one. "

Abbot Tianming is a Taoist eminent monk with a clear Zen mind, magnanimity and tolerance. Hearing He Zudao's words, he smiled and said: "Thank you layman for your guidance. My Shaolin Temple makes a strong distinction between men and women, and it seems petty. So please please Miss Guo Serve tea." Guo Xiang smiled at He Zudao, and said in her heart: "You can talk with your mouth, and you can convince the old monk with just a few words." Seeing Abbot Tianming stepping aside, he stretched out his hand to silence the guests, and was about to step into the temple when he suddenly saw the one on the left of Tianming The dry and thin old monk took a step forward and said: "Based on just one word from Layman He, I want Shaolin Temple to abandon the thousand-year-old rules. Although there is nothing wrong with it, it depends on whether the speaker is really capable or not. It has gained a false reputation. Layman He, please leave a hand, so that the monks can open their eyes, and also convince Hesi, who knows who has abolished the rules of this temple that have been practiced for thousands of years." zen master.His voice was loud and clear, and it was obvious that he was full of energy and deep internal energy.

When Pan Tiangeng and the other three heard this, their faces changed slightly.In Wuxiang's few words, it is obvious that he looks down on the three of them, saying that although He Zudao defeated the three of them, it may not be true that he has extraordinary abilities. Guo Xiang saw that Zen Master Wu Se had a worried expression on his face, she thought to herself that this old monk is a very good person and also a friend of her elder brother, if He Zudao and Shaolin monks fight for me, no matter which side loses, I will feel sorry , so he said in a clear voice: "Brother He, I don't have to go to Shaolin Temple. You have passed on that sentence, so go." Pointing to Wu Se, he said: "This Zen Master Wu Se is my good friend. The two of you The family should not hurt the peace."

He Zudao was startled, and said: "Ah, that's how it is." Turning to Tianming, he said, "Old abbot, there is a Chan Master Jueyuan in your monastery, who is it? I have been entrusted by someone, and I have something to tell him. " Tianming said in a low voice: "Zen Master Jueyuan?" Jueyuan had a low status in the monastery. He had been hiding in the Sutra Pavilion for decades and was unknown. No one had ever added the word "Zen Master" to his Dharma name. Tianming didn't expect it for a moment.He was stunned for a while, and then said: "Ah, the person who neglected his duties in guarding the "Langa Sutra". Layman He is looking for him, but is it related to the "Langa Sutra"?" He Zudao shook his head and said: "I don't know." Tianming He said to a disciple, "Chuan Jue Yuan came to see the guest." The disciple took the order and left in a hurry.

Zen Master Wuxiang said again: "He Layman is known as the three sages of piano, sword and chess. How can ordinary people dare to use the word 'sage'? Layman He has the best attainments among these three. He left a book a few days ago. My temple said that it wants to show off its martial arts, and since it has come today, you are willing to give me a lesson, so that we can admire its unique skills!" He Zudao shook his head and said, "Since this girl has already said it, our two families must not hurt their peace." Wu Xiang was furious, thinking that you left the book first, but when the situation came to an end, he came to evade, for thousands of years, who would dare to be so rude to Shaolin Temple?What's more, Pan Tiangeng and the other three were defeated by you, rumors spread in the world, saying that the big disciple of Shaolin School lost to you, wouldn't the word "Sword Master" be called even louder?It seems that ordinary disciples are not his opponents, they have to go out in person, and immediately took two steps, and said: "Contesting in martial arts is not hurting peace, why should Layman give way?" Take the sword! Let's experience the swordsmanship of the 'Sword Master', how far is the 'Sage'?"

All kinds of weapons in the temple have already been prepared, but it is inconvenient to take them out when they line up to welcome the guests, so as not to appear stingy.Hearing Wu Xiang's order, the disciple turned around and went into the temple, took out seven or eight long swords, put his hands horizontally, and brought them to He Zudao, saying: "The sword that layman He brings? Or borrow from ordinary soldiers from our temple blade?" He Zudao didn't answer, leaned over to pick up a sharp-edged stone, and suddenly drew vertical and horizontal lines on the bluestone board in front of the temple.The lines of latitude and longitude are straight, as if bounded by a ruler, and each line is more than half an inch deep into the stone slab.This stone slab is paved with the bluestone of Shaoshi Mountain, it is as hard as iron, it has been passed by people for hundreds of years without much wear and tear, he swiped a sharp stone casually, and unexpectedly sank an inch deep, this kind of internal strength is really rare in the world , I just heard him laughing: "Competing swords is too domineering, and the sound of the piano is incompetent. Since the great monk is happy, how about we play a game of chess?" As soon as his astonishing skill of swipe stones was revealed, Tianming, Wuhui, Wuxiang and the seven elders of Xinchan Hall all looked at each other in blank dismay, feeling horrified.Abbot Tianming knew that there was no one in the Neili Temple who was as powerful as this man, and he was about to admit defeat when he heard the sound of iron chains dragging on the ground. I saw Jue Yuan walking up to him carrying a pair of big iron buckets, followed by a tall young man.Jueyuan held the iron pole with his left hand, saluted Tianming with one palm of his right hand, and said, "I am here to honor the old abbot's call." Tianming said, "This Layman He has something to tell you." Jueyuan turned around, looked at He Zudao, but didn't recognize him, and said, "Little Monk Jueyuan, what do you want me to tell you?" He Zudao drew the chess game well, and the game was full of enthusiasm. He said: "It's not too late to say this sentence slowly. Which monk will play a game with me first?" He is so infatuated with love, he is so excited that he doesn't even care about the sky falling, when he thinks about playing chess, he only wants someone to play against him, and he has long forgotten about martial arts competitions. Zen Master Tianming said: "Layman He draws stones as a trick, such a miraculous skill, I have never seen in my life, and the monks in our temple are willing to bow down." After hearing Tianming's words, Jueyuan looked at the big chess game on the stone slab, and realized that this person came to the temple to show off his martial arts. Now he picked up the big iron bucket, took a breath, and poured out all the martial arts he had practiced all his life. Sinking his legs, he walked over the boundary of the chess game step by step. I saw the iron chain on his feet dragging across, a five-inch wide imprint appeared on the stone slab, and the boundary line drawn by He Zudao was immediately erased.When the monks saw it, they couldn't help applauding loudly.Tianming, Wushi, Wuping are even more pleasant surprises, who would have thought that this demented old monk would have such profound inner strength, and lived with him in the same monastery for decades, but did not see the slightest clue.Tian Ming and the others knew that no matter how strong a person's inner strength was, it would be impossible for him to leave a mark on the stone slab, because Jue Yuan picked up a pair of big iron buckets, which were filled with water, weighing more than four hundred catties in total. The iron chain, which transmits a huge force of several hundred kilograms from his shoulders to his feet, drags forward like a big chisel on a stone slab, and only then can he shovel away the boundary line drawn by He Zudao. OK, then absolutely impossible.But although it is powerful to borrow, it is also a rare magical skill after all. Why didn't he wait for him to finish shoveling a total of thirty-eight vertical and horizontal boundaries, and shouted loudly: "Great monk, you have such profound internal strength, I can't compare to you!" Jue Yuan shoveled at this time, although the zhenqi in the dantian was getting stronger and stronger, his legs were still flesh and blood, and he was already feeling sore. Hearing him drink this, he stopped immediately, smiled and said: "A pair of sleeves will put you in the same place." In other words, why don't you tell black and white for him?" He Zudao said: "That's right! You don't need to play this game of chess, I've already lost. I'll show you how to use your sword." As he spoke, he pulled out a long sword from under the Yaoqin on his back, pointing the point at himself On the chest, the hilt of the sword is slanted outwards, this move is extremely weird, it seems like turning back the sword to commit suicide, in the world of swordsmanship, there has never been such an unreasonable move. Jueyuan said: "The old monk only knows how to read scriptures and meditate, dry books and sweep the floor, but he doesn't know anything about martial arts." What's the point but how can you believe it?Hehe sneered, leaning forward, the long sword suddenly sprang out, the tip of the sword pierced Jueyuan's chest, the speed of the move was really beyond the reach of any sword technique.It turns out that this move is not a straight stab, but it gathers internal energy first, and then gathers energy to eject.But Jueyuan's inner strength has reached the state of being able to send and receive freely as one likes.He Zudao said that although the sword was fast, Jue Yuan's thoughts moved even faster, his mind reached his hand, and his body and mind were united. He retracted his right hand, and the big iron bucket on the pole swung over immediately, blocking in front of him. With a sound, the tip of the sword pierced the iron barrel.The blade was flexible and bent into an arc.He Zudao hastily retracted his long sword and swung it out casually. The iron bucket in Jue Yuan's left hand crossed and blocked it again. He Zudao thought to himself: "No matter how good your martial arts are, this pair of iron barrels are always extremely heavy, how can they stop my fast attack? If you fight with empty hands, I will be a little bit afraid." Suddenly, the sound of the sword was buzzing, like a dragon chant, shouted: "Monk, be careful!" The long sword trembled, front, back, left, and right, and made four, four, and sixteen moves in an instant. But when he heard sixteen clicks of "Dangdangdangdangdangdangdangdangdang", He Zudao stabbed all sixteen "Xunlei swords" on the iron barrel.The onlookers saw that Jue Yuan was in a hurry, stretched left and right, and looked extremely embarrassed. Sure enough, he didn't know even half of martial arts, but He Zudao's sixteen ingenious sword moves all gave Jue Yuan a very clumsy and ridiculous posture. Block it with an iron bucket. Colorless and Wuequant couldn't help worrying, they all shouted: "He Jushi, show mercy!" Guo Xiang also said: "Stop the killer!" Everyone could see that Jueyuan was not good at martial arts, but He Zudao was in the middle of the battle, trying his best to use it, but he couldn't help the opponent half a point, who would have thought that he had never learned martial arts before, so he was able to block the sword move, all because of his not knowing Unknowingly, it is caused by practicing superior internal strength.He Zudao's fast strikes were useless, Dou suddenly shouted, with a cold light flashing, he raised his sword and stabbed straight at Jueyuan's lower abdomen.Jue Yuan shouted: "Ah!" He clasped his hands together in his busy schedule, and there was a loud bang, and the two iron barrels held the long sword forcefully.He Zudao tried his best to snatch it back, how could he move the slightest bit?He reacted with extraordinary speed, withdrew the sword with his right hand, and pushed with both hands, with an overwhelming palm force, he rushed straight to Jueyuan's door. At this moment, Jueyuan couldn't separate his hands to resist, seeing the situation was very critical, Zhang Junbao had a deep affection for his master and apprentice, he jumped forward and used the technique Yang Guo taught in the past, "Extending in all directions", he slapped He Zudao's shoulder obliquely with his palm.At this moment, Jue Yuan's strength had been transmitted to the iron bucket, two jets of water flew out of the bucket, and rushed towards He Zudao's face.As soon as the palm force collided with the water column, the water splashed everywhere, splashing the two people's bodies with water, He Zudao's palm force was released at this point. He Zudao was competing with Jue Yuan with all his strength, he didn't care about resisting Zhang Junbao's palm, he hit his shoulder with a puff.Unexpectedly Zhang Junbao is still young, his palm technique is amazing and his internal energy is also very deep, He Zudao is uncertain about his footing, he retreats three steps obliquely to the left. Jueyuan shouted: "Amitabha, Amitabha, Layman He, please spare the old monk! These few stabs made my heart skip a beat." As he spoke, he stretched out his sleeves to wipe off the water on his face, and hurriedly dodged aside. He Zudao said angrily: "The place of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon in Shaolin Temple is really extraordinary, even a young boy has such skill. Good boy, let's make a show, you only need to catch my ten moves, and He Zudao won't do it for the rest of his life. earth." Wu Se and Wu Equal all know that Zhang Junbao is just a handyman in the Sutra Pavilion, he has never practiced kung fu, just now he pushed him for some unknown reason, if he wants to use force seriously, don't say ten moves, just be afraid One move will kill him in the palm of his hand.Wu Xiang said proudly: "He Layman's words are wrong! You are known as the three sages of Kunlun, and your martial arts are as powerful as the past, how can you fight with this young man who cooks tea and sweeps the floor? If you don't dislike it, the old monk will take ten moves from you." He Zudao shook his head and said: "How can you let go of the humiliation of this slap? Boy, look at the trick!" As he spoke, he slapped Zhang Junbao's chest.This punch went extremely fast, he and Zhang Junbao were standing very close, and he wanted to rescue him without color or equality, but how could there be time? Everyone just cried out inwardly, but they saw that Zhang Junbao's feet and heels were not moving, his toes were rubbing to the left, and his body turned to the right, making an arrow step leading to the left, and lightly and deftly let go of his punch, and grasped the fist with the left Protecting the waist, the right palm cuts out, which is the basic Shaolin boxing move of "Right Piercing Flower Hand".This move is as concentrated as a mountain, and the movement of the palm is as big as the Yangtze River. It is indeed the demeanor of a famous master, how can it be the skill of a young man? He Zudao received his palm from his shoulder, he knew that this young man's internal strength was far superior to Pan Tiangeng and the other three, but he thought that he would be able to defeat him within ten moves. But when he swung his palm and turned around, his strength was strong, his figure was steady, and he was really flawless, so he couldn't help applauding: "Good boxing!" Wuxiang thought about it, and smiled at Wuse: "Congratulations, senior brother, for secretly accepting a proud disciple!" Wuse shook his head and said, "No..." But seeing Zhang Junbao "stretching his steps and pulling his bow", "Shanfeng Zhaoyang", "Shan Feng Chaoyang", " Erlang Danshan", three moves in a row, the law is strict and the strength is strong, it is not inferior to the first-class masters of the Shaolin school. Tianming, Wushi, Wuxiang and the seven elders of Xinchan were all shocked when they saw Zhang Junbao's Shaolin boxing moves so well.Wu Xiang said: "It's fine if his boxing is so rigorous, this level of internal strength..." While speaking, He Zudao had already used the sixth move, thinking: "I can't even deal with this yellow-mouthed boy, but I dare to come to Shaolin Temple to challenge him. Wouldn't it make the heroes of the world laugh their teeth out?" Turning around quickly, he moved "Xue Piao Tianshan", and the shadow of his palm danced, instantly enveloping Zhang Junbao in all directions. Zhang Junbao had never had a martial artist explain martial arts to him except for the four moves taught by Yang Guo at the top of Mount Hua, how could he dismantle such fantastic and unpredictable superior palm techniques suddenly?In a crisis, turn your waist to the left into a cold rooster posture, raise your palms over your forehead, and the tiger's mouth of your left hand is facing the tiger's mouth of your right. It is a "double circle hand" move in Shaolin boxing.This move is as dignified as a mountain, and the enemy can't understand it.No matter which direction He Zudao attacked from, they were all under the cover of his "double circled hands". All the disciples of Bodhidharma Hall and Arhat Hall applauded thunderously, and they admired Zhang Junbao's move from the bottom of their hearts, praising him for using the most ordinary moves in Shaolin boxing to resolve the most complicated enemy moves . Amidst the applause, He Zudao let out a clear whistle, and punched Zhang Junbao hard in the chest.This punch turned out to be a coincidence, but it was extremely powerful.Zhang Junbao should use a move of "Partial Flower Seven Stars" and launch it with double cut palms.Fist and fist collided, there was only a bang, He Zudao shook his body, and Zhang Junbao took three steps back.He Zudao let out a "hum", his punching technique remained the same, but he took two steps forward, punching hard and hitting hard.Zhang Junbao still used the move "Seven Stars Partial Flower", pushing forward with double cut palms.With a loud bang, Zhang Junbao retreated five steps this time.He Zudao slammed forward, his face changed color, and he shouted: "There is only one move left, follow it with all your strength." He took three steps, sat firmly on the horse, and punched out slowly. At this time, hundreds of people in front of the Shaolin Temple were completely silent, everyone knew that this punch was the cause of He Zudao's lifelong fame, so they tried their best. Zhang Junbao used "Pianhua Qixing" again for the third time, this time the fist and palm intersected, unexpectedly there was no sound, the two of them held each other for a while, each mobilizing their internal strength to resist.When it comes to the number of martial arts masters, how can they be more than a hundred times better than Zhang Junbao?But after competing for internal energy, Zhang Junbao once learned the mental method from the "Nine Suns Manual", the internal energy is dense, thick and full.In an instant, He Zudao knew that he was not sure of defeating him, so he jumped up immediately, making Zhang Junbao's fist power useless, and pushed his back lightly with his back.Zhang Junbao fell to the ground and couldn't stand up for a while. He Zudao waved his right hand, and said with a wry smile: "He Zudao, He Zudao, you are really crazy." Chan Master Xiang Tianming bowed to the ground, and said: "Shaolin Temple martial arts have been famous for thousands of years, it really is no small matter, today opened Kuangsheng's eyes , I know that under the reputation, there is no real person. Admiration, admiration!" As he spoke, he turned around, touched his toes, and was already floating a few feet away. He stopped, turned his head and said to Jueyuan: "Master Jueyuan, the man asked me to convey a word, saying that 'the scriptures are in the oil'." As soon as the words stopped, he counted on his toes and walked away. , the speed of the body is really rare. Zhang Junbao got up slowly, his forehead and face were covered with dust.Although he was defeated by He Zudao, all the masters knew that He Zudao was just playing tricks, and he drifted away. The meaning in his words showed that he was defeated by Shaolin Temple's miraculous skills. A thin and bony old monk among the seven elders of Xinchan suddenly said: "Who taught this disciple's martial arts?" Can't help shivering.Tianming, Wuse, and Wuxiang all had this question in their hearts, and looked at Jueyuan and Zhang Junbao together.Jueyuan and his disciples stood there blankly, unable to speak for a moment.Tianming said: "Although Jueyuan's internal energy is proficient, he hasn't learned boxing yet. Who taught that young man Shaolin boxing?" All the disciples of Bodhidharma Hall and Arhat Hall thought, they never expected that the temple was in danger today, and it was this young servant who came forward to drive away the powerful enemy. The old abbot would definitely be rewarded greatly, and the master who taught him the inner strength boxing technique would also automatically Bisheng is honored and favored. Seeing Zhang Junbao standing still, the old monk suddenly raised his eyebrows, with a murderous look on his face, he said sharply: "I'm asking you, who taught you Arhat boxing?" Zhang Junbao took out the pair of iron arhats that Guo Xiang gave as a gift from his bosom, and said: "This disciple learns a few skills by himself according to the routines used by these two iron arhats. There is really no one to teach me martial arts." The old monk took a step forward, lowered his voice, and said, "Say it again clearly: your Arhat boxing was not taught by any master in this temple, but learned by yourself." Although his voice was low, his words were threatening The meaning has greatly increased. Zhang Junbao was calm in his heart, thinking that he hadn't done anything bad, although he saw the old monk's aggressive expression, he was not afraid, and said loudly: "My disciple only sweeps the floor and cooks tea in the Sutra Pavilion, and serves Master Jueyuan. There is nothing wrong with this monastery. A master has taught my disciples martial arts. This Arhat boxing is learned by myself, I think it’s not right, so I ask the master to give me some pointers.” The old monk stared fiercely at Zhang Junbao as if his eyes were about to burst into flames, for a long, long time, he did not move. Jueyuan knew that this old monk in the Xinchan Hall was of a very high seniority, and he was the uncle of Zen Master Tianming, the abbot. Seeing that he was so stern towards Zhang Junbao, he was very puzzled, but seeing his eyes full of resentment, a sudden thought flashed in his mind. Suddenly, like lightning, he remembered a small book that he had seen by chance in the Buddhist scriptures pavilion some other year. It was a thin handwritten book, which recorded a major event of the temple: More than seventy years ago, the abbot of Shaolin Temple was Zen Master Kucheng, who was the ancestor of Zen Master Tianming.During the Mid-Autumn Festival of this year, the monastery routinely held the annual Bodhidharma Grand Colonel, where the abbot and the two chiefs of the Bodhidharma Hall and Arhat Hall tested the martial arts of the disciples of the He Temple to check what progress they had made in the past year.After all the disciples had finished performing their skills, Zen Master Kuzhi, the head of the Bodhidharma Hall, ascended to comment. Suddenly, a head-leading Toutuo came out of the crowd and said loudly, Zen Master Kuzhi's words are nonsense, he doesn't know what martial arts are, and it is shameful to be the chief of the Bodhidharma hall.The monks were shocked, when they looked at this person, it was a fire worker Toutuo who was lighting a fire under the stove in Xiangji's kitchen.All the disciples in Bodhidharma hall have already scolded in unison before the master could speak. The fireworker Toutuo shouted: "Master doesn't understand shit, and disciples don't understand shit even more." He rushed to stand in the hall.All the disciples stepped forward to fight him one by one, but they were all defeated by him with three punches and two kicks.Originally, in the Bodhidharma hall, they competed with each other and competed in the same discipline, so it was natural to stop as soon as possible, and everyone was merciful.But this Huogong Toutuo was very vicious, he defeated the nine disciples of Bodhidharma Hall in a row, the nine monks either had their arms broken or their legs broken, and all of them were seriously injured. The first Chan Master Kuzhi was startled and furious, seeing that Huogong Toutuo only learned the original boxing moves of Shaolin School, not masters from other schools sneaking into the temple to make trouble, so he held back his anger and asked him who taught his martial arts. The fireworker Toutuo said: "No one has taught me martial arts, I learned it myself." It turned out that the Toutuo was burning under the stove.The monk who oversees the Xiangji Kitchen is extremely irritable, and he punches every now and then. He has martial arts and is self-respecting.The fireworker Toutuo was beaten until he vomited blood three times in three years, and under the accusation of resentment, he secretly went to learn martial arts secretly.All Shaolin disciples know martial arts, and there are many opportunities to secretly learn boxing moves.He is both painstaking and solitary, but also has extraordinary wisdom, and he has practiced extremely high-level martial arts in more than 20 years.But he kept his secrets hidden, and still kept burning the fire under the stove. When the monk who supervised the kitchen fought with his fists, he would never fight back, but his inner strength had already been refined, and he would never be injured again.This Huogong Toutuo was vicious by nature, until he thought that his martial arts had surpassed the monks in the temple, and then he came out to show his skills on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival.Decades of stagnation made him hate all the monks in the monastery, and he was merciless when he made a move. Zen Master Kuzhi asked the reason, sneered three times, and said, "Your painstaking efforts are really admirable!" Immediately, he got up from his seat and stretched out his hand to compete with him.Zen Master Kuzhi is a master of Shaolin Temple, but firstly he is old, and the Huogong Toutuo is in his prime, and secondly, Kuzhi's subordinates are sympathetic, but Huogong Toutuo uses recruiting killers, so he fights out of five lilies, Kuzhi Fang is sure to win.When the two performed the "big silk wrapping" move, their four arms were twisted together, but Ku Zhi's hands were already pressing on the Achilles' Achilles on the opponent's chest, with a burst of internal strength, Fireman Toutuo died immediately, and there was no room for dismantling.Ku Zhi cherished him for concentrating on self-study, unexpectedly he has achieved such an achievement, he couldn't bear to hurt his life, split his palms, and shouted: "Get back!" Unexpectedly, that Huogong Toutuo would have misunderstood it, and only thought that the other party used one of the "Shen Zhang Eight Attacks".This "eight strikes of divine palms" is one of the unique skills in Shaolin martial arts. He once saw the chief disciple of Bodhidharma Hall use it, splitting out with both palms, breaking a wooden stake, the strength is extraordinary.Although Huogong Toutuo's kung fu is strong, he learned it all by stealing. He didn't get a famous teacher to teach him. Shaolin kung fu is extensive and profound, but he just watched it secretly. Although it took a long time, how could he learn it all?Kuzhi's move is actually "disintegrating palms", using strength to release strength, both sides retreat together, which means to stop fighting and stop fighting.But Huogong Toutuo mistook it as the sixth palm of the "Eight Dozens of God's Palms", "Cracking Heart Palm", thinking: "You want to take my life, but it's not so easy." He flew forward and struck with both fists. The power of this pair of fists rushed over like mountains and seas. Zen Master Kuzhi was startled, and hurriedly countered with his palms, but his momentum was too weak, but he heard several clicks, and the arm bone of his left arm and the four ribs in front of his chest It broke immediately. The monks in the audience panicked and rushed to the ambulance. They saw that they were struggling and unable to speak a word. It turned out that the internal organs had been severely injured by the shock.When looking at Fireworker Toutuo again, he had already fled in confusion.That night, Ku Zhi was seriously injured and died.When Hesi was in grief, the fireworker Toutuo sneaked into the temple again, and beat to death the five monks who supervised Xiangji Kitchen and Hepingsu who had a relationship with him.Under the great earthquake in Hesi, dozens of masters were sent to search for it, but they searched all over Jiangnan and Jiangbei, but there was no trace. The senior monks in the temple even had a dispute over this matter, blaming each other.Zen Master Kuhui, the head of the Arhat Hall, left the Western Regions in a rage and founded the Shaolin School of the Western Regions.Pan Tiangeng, Fang Tianlao, and Wei Tianwang are the reincarnated disciples of Chan Master Kuhui. After this battle, the martial arts of Shaolin Temple declined for decades.Since then, the rules of the temple have been established. Anyone who secretly learns martial arts without being taught by a teacher will be executed if he finds out.For decades, due to the tight security in the temple, no one learns martial arts secretly, and the monks have gradually forgotten this temple rule. The old monk in the Heart Meditation Hall was the young disciple of Kuzhi back then. The scene of his teacher's tragic death has been deeply imprinted in his heart for decades. Seeing that Zhang Junbao secretly learned martial arts without being taught by his teacher, and touched the previous incident, he was filled with grief and indignation . Jueyuan was in charge of the books in the Sutra Pavilion, and he read all the books. He suddenly remembered this old incident, and his back was covered with cold sweat. Before finishing his sentence, Wuxiang, the head of the Bodhidharma Hall, shouted: "All the disciples of the Bodhidharma Hall stepped forward and took down this young fellow." Zhang Junbao was surrounded in all directions.The eighteen disciples occupy a very large position, even Guo Xiang is surrounded in the middle. The old monk of Naxin Meditation Hall sternly shouted: "All the disciples of Luohan Hall, why don't you come forward together!" The 108 disciples of Luohan Hall responded like a thunderstorm: "Yes!" There are three circles around the eighteen disciples. Zhang Junbao was at a loss, he also said that he had violated the temple rules by striking away He Zudao, and said: "Master, I...I..." Jueyuan has lived with this apprentice for ten years, loves him like a father and son, and knows that as long as Zhang Junbao is captured, even if he survives by chance, he will become a useless person.But Zen Master Wuxiang shouted: "If you don't do it, when will you wait?" The eighteen disciples of Bodhidharma hall all proclaimed the Buddha's name and stepped forward.Jue Yuan didn't have time to think, suddenly turned around in a circle, two big iron buckets danced together, the strong wind forced all the monks to be unable to move forward, followed by shaking the buckets, the clear water in the buckets poured out, and turned sideways Double barrels, the iron barrel on the left is carrying Guo Xiang, and the iron barrel on the right is carrying Zhang Junbao.He spun seven or eight times in a row, and the pair of big iron buckets were driven away by his incomparably thick internal force, like a meteor hammer. Who in the world can resist this force of a thousand catties?All the disciples of Bodhidharma dodged one after another. Jueyuan strode like flying, carrying Zhang Junbao and Guo Xiang down the mountain.All the monks shouted and chased after him, only to hear the sound of the chain dragging the ground gradually fading away, and after chasing for seven or eight miles, the sound of the chain could not be heard at all. The rules of Shaolin Temple are very strict, since the head of the Bodhidharma Hall ordered Zhang Junbao to be captured, even though the monks saw that they could not catch up, they still pursued bravely.As time went by, the strength of the monks' legs became different, and those with weaker lightness skills gradually fell behind.After chasing after dark, there were only five senior disciples left in the lead, and several forked roads appeared in front of them, and he didn't know where he fled to. At this time, he was catching up, and the five monks alone were by no means the same as Jueyuan and Zhang Junbao. The enemy had no choice but to return to the temple dejectedly. Jueyuan picked up two people with a load, and went straight for tens of miles, before he stopped, he saw that there was a deep mountain everywhere.The twilight merged and the crows flew in and out, although Jue Yuan's internal energy was strong, he was exhausted after this desperate rush, for a moment, he no longer had the strength to unload the iron bucket from his shoulders. Zhang Junbao and Guo Xiang jumped out of the bucket, each lifted an iron bucket and put it down from his shoulders.Zhang Junbao said: "Master, take a rest, I'll go find something to eat." But seeing the grass growing up to knees all around, where is there anything to eat in this wild mountain area, Zhang Junbao went for half a day and only picked a lot of strawberries Come.The three ate indiscriminately and rested against the stone. Guo Xiang said: "Great Monk, I see that the monks in Shaolin Temple, except you and Zen Master Wu Se, are all a little weird." Jue Yuan gave a "hmm" and didn't answer.Guo Xiangdao: "The three sages of Kunlun, He Zudao, came to Shaolin Temple. There was no one in the temple to fight against him. It was only because of you, master and disciple, that you repelled him, and the reputation of Shaolin Temple was preserved. They didn't come to thank you, but they viciously demanded There is really no reason to arrest Brother Zhang without distinguishing between right and wrong." Jueyuan sighed, and said: "It's no wonder the old abbot and Brother Wuxiang, there is a temple rule in Shaolin Temple..." At this point, he couldn't bring it up, coughing continuously.Guo Xiang gently patted his back for him, and said: "You are tired, sleep for a while, and it will not be too late to talk tomorrow." Jue Yuan sighed, and said: "That's right, I'm really tired too." Zhang Junbao picked up some dry firewood, lit a fire, and dried Guo Xiang and his clothes.The three of them fell asleep under the big tree. Guo Xiang slept until midnight, suddenly she heard Juyuan muttering to herself, as if she was reciting scriptures, she woke up from the twilight, and only heard him recite: "...that's power hinders my skin, my intention has already penetrated into that In the bones. Both hands support, one breath penetrates. The left is heavy, the left is empty, and the right is gone, the right is heavy, the right is empty, and the left is gone..." Guo Xiang's heart shivered: "He didn't read something like 'emptiness is form, form is emptiness' The Buddhist scriptures. The left emphasizes the left void and the right emphasizes the right void, which seems to be the classics of martial arts." He paused for a moment, and then read again: "... Qi is like a wheel, and the whole body must follow each other. If there is no phase, the body will be scattered. Its disease lies in the waist and legs..." Guo Xiang heard that "the disease is in the Seeking for the waist and legs", I was even more suspicious in my heart, knowing that what he was reading was the essence of martial arts, I thought to myself: "This great monk doesn't know martial arts at all, he is just an idiot in reading, and everything in the book is nothing but It is taken as a matter of course. When I met him for the first time at the top of Huashan Mountain in the past, I heard him say that Patriarch Bodhidharma wrote another Nine Suns Scripture between the lines of the Langa Sutra that he copied with his own hand. The art of physical fitness should be practiced according to the instructions in the scriptures. Without being taught by others, he and his disciples have reached the realm of first-class masters in the world without knowing it. That day Xiaoxiangzi slapped him, and he endured it. This trick, instead caused Xiaoxiangzi to be seriously injured. Even his father and elder brother may not be able to do such a miraculous skill. Today, his master and his apprentice made He Zudao retreat quietly, and it is also the work of this Nine Suns Manual. He muttered in his mouth Could it be this sutra that you recited?" When she thought of this, she was afraid of disturbing Jue Yuan's mind, so she sat up quietly, listened to the scriptures, memorized them secretly, and thought to herself: "If what he is reciting is really the Nine Suns Manual, it is so profound and subtle that he can't understand it in a moment. Let me keep in mind that it will not be too late to ask him for advice tomorrow." Just listen to him read: "... first control the body with the heart, follow others and not follow yourself, follow the heart from the body, follow others through yourself. If you rely on yourself, you will stagnate If you follow others, you will live. If you can follow others, you will have a square inch in your hand. You can measure the size of the other force, and the cents are good; ..." Guo Xiang couldn't help shaking her head when she heard this, and said in her heart: "That's not right. Father and mother often say that when facing an enemy, one must control others and not be controlled by others. This monk is wrong."念道：“彼不动，己不动，彼微动，己已动。劲似宽而非松，将展未展，劲断意不断……” 郭襄越听越感迷惘，她自幼学的武功全是讲究先发制人、后发制于人，处处抢快，着着争先。觉远这时所说的拳经功诀，却说甚么“由己则滞，从人则活”实与她平素所学大相径庭，心想：“临敌动手之时，双方性命相搏，倘若我竟舍己从人，敌人要我东便东、要我西便西，那不是听由挨打么？” 便这么一迟疑，觉远说的话便溜了过去，竟是听而不闻，月光之下，忽见张君宝盘膝而坐，也在凝神倾听，郭襄心道：“不管他说的对与不对，我只管记着便是了。这大和尚震伤潇湘子、气走何足道，乃是我亲眼目睹。他所说的武功法门，总是大有道理的。”于是又用心暗记。 觉远随口背诵，断断续续，有时却又夹着几段楞伽经的经文，说到佛祖在楞伽岛上登山说法的事。原来那九阳真经夹书在楞伽经的字旁行间，觉远读书又有点泥古不化，随口背诵之际，竟连楞伽经也背了出来。那楞伽经本是天竺文字，觉远背的却是译文，更加缠夹不清。郭襄听着，愈是摸不着头脑，幸好她生来聪颖，觉远所念经文虽然颠三倒四，却也能记得了二三成。 冰轮西斜，人影渐长，觉远念经的声音渐渐低沉，口齿也有些模糊不清。郭襄劝道：“大和尚，你累了一整天，再睡一忽儿。” 觉远却似没听到她的话，继续念道：“……力从人借，气由脊发。胡能气由脊发？气向下沉，由两肩收入脊骨，注于腰间，此气之由上而下也，谓之合。由腰展于脊骨，布于两膊，施于手指，此气之由下而上也，谓之开。合便是收，开便是放。能懂得开合，便知阴阳……”他越念声音越低，终于寂然无声，似已沉沉睡去。 郭襄和张君宝不敢惊动，只是默记他念过的经文。 斗转星移，月落西山，蓦地里乌云四合，漆黑一片。又过一顿饭时分，东方渐明，只见觉远闭目垂眉，静坐不动，脸上微露笑容。 张君宝一回头，突见大树后人影一闪，依稀见到黄色袈裟的一角。他吃了一惊，喝道：“是谁？”只见一个身材瘦长的老僧从树后转了出来，正是罗汉堂首座无色禅师。 郭襄又惊又喜，说道：“大和尚，你怎地苦苦不舍，还是追了来？难道非擒他们师徒归寺不可么？”无色道：“善哉，善哉！老僧尚分是非，岂是拘泥陈年旧规之人？老僧到此已有半夜，若要动手，也不等到此时了。觉远师弟，无相师弟率领达摩堂弟子正向东追寻，你们快快往西去罢！”却见觉远垂首闭目，兀自不醒。 张君宝上前说道：“师父醒来，罗汉堂首座跟你说话。”觉远仍是不动。张君宝惊慌起来，伸手摸他额头，触手冰冷，原来早已圆寂多时了。张君宝大悲，伏地叫道：“师父，师父！”却那里叫他得醒？ 无色禅师合十行礼，说偈道：“诸方无云翳，四面皆清明，微风吹香气，众山静无声。今日大欢喜，舍却危脆身。无嗔亦无忧，宁不当欣庆？”说罢，飘然而去。 张君宝大哭一场，郭襄也流了不少眼泪。少林寺僧众圆寂，尽皆火化，当下两人捡些枯柴，将觉远的法身焚化了。 郭襄道：“张兄弟，少林寺僧众尚自放你不过，你诸多小心在意。咱们便此别过，后会有期。”张君宝垂泪道：“郭姑娘，你到哪里去？我又到哪里去？” 郭襄听他问自己到哪里，心中一酸，说道：“我天涯海角，行踪无定，自己也不知道到哪里去。张兄弟，你年纪小，又无江湖上的阅历。少林寺的僧众正在四处追捕于你，这样罢。”从腕上褪下一只金丝镯儿，递了给他，道：“你拿这镯儿到襄阳去见我爹爹妈妈，他们必能善待于你。只要在我爹妈跟前，少林寺的僧众再狠，也不能来难为你。” 张君宝含泪接了镯儿。郭襄又道：“你跟我爹爹妈妈说，我身子很好，请他们不用记挂。我爹爹最喜欢少年英雄，见你这等人才，说不定会收了你做徒儿。我弟弟忠厚老实，一定跟你很说得来。只是我姊姊脾气大些，一个不对，说话便不给人留脸面，但你只须顺着她些儿，也就是了。”说着转身而去。 张君宝但觉天地茫茫，竟无安身之处，在师父的火葬堆前呆立了半日，这才举步。走出十余丈，忽又回身，挑起师父所留的那对大铁桶，摇摇晃晃的缓步而行。荒山野岭之间，一个瘦骨棱棱的少年黯然西去，凄凄惶惶，说不尽的孤单寂寞。 行了半月，已到湖北境内，离襄阳已不很远。少林寺僧却始终没追上他。原来无色禅师暗中眷顾，故意将僧众引向东方，以致反其道而行，和他越离越远。 这日午后，来到一座大山之前，但见郁郁苍苍，林木茂密，山势甚是雄伟。一问过路的乡人，得知此山名叫武当山。 他在山脚下倚石休息，忽见一男一女两个乡民从身旁山道上经过，两人并肩而行，神态甚是亲密，显是一对少年夫妻。那妇人唠唠叨叨，不住的责备丈夫。那男子却低下了头，只不作声。 但听那妇人说道：“你一个男子汉大丈夫，不能自立门户，却去依傍姐姐和姐夫，没来由的自己讨这场羞辱。咱们又不是少了手脚，自己干活儿自己吃饭，青菜萝卜，粗茶淡饭，何等逍遥自在？偏是你全身没根硬骨头，当真枉为生于世间了。”那男子“嗯、嗯”数声。那妇人又道：“常言道得好：除死无大事。难道非依靠别人不可？”那男子给妻子这一顿数说，不敢回一句嘴，一张脸胀得猪肝也似的成了紫酱之色。 那妇人这番话，句句都打进了张君宝心里：“你一个男子汉大丈夫，不能自立门户……没来由的自己讨这场羞辱……常言道得好，除死无大事，难道非依靠别人不可？”他望着这对乡下夫妻的背影，呆呆出神，心中翻来覆去，尽是想着那农妇这几句当头棒喝般的言语。只见那汉子挺了挺腰板，不知说了几句甚么话，夫妻俩大声笑了起来，似乎那男子已决意自立，因此夫妻俩同感欢悦。 张君宝又想：“郭姑娘说道，她姊姊脾气不好，说话不留情面，要我顺着她些儿。我好好一个男子汉，又何必向人低声下气，委曲求全？这对乡下夫妇尚能发奋图强，我张君宝何必寄人篱下，瞧人眼色？” 言念及此，心意已决，当下挑了铁桶，便上武当山去，找了一个岩穴，渴饮山泉，饥餐野果，孜孜不歇的修习觉远所授的九阳真经。 数年之后，便即悟到：“达摩祖师是天竺人，就算会写我中华文字，也必文理粗疏。这部九阳真经文字佳妙，外国人决计写不出，定是后世中土人士所作。多半便是少林寺中的僧侣，假托达摩祖师之名，写在天竺文字的楞伽经夹缝之中。”这番道理，却非拘泥不化、尽信经书中文字的觉远所能领悟。只不过并无任何佐证，张君宝其时年岁尚轻，也不敢断定自己的推测必对。 他得觉远传授甚久，于这部九阳真经已记了十之五六，十余年间竟然内力大进，其后多读道藏，于道家练气之术更深有心得。某一日在山间闲游，仰望浮云，俯视流水，张君宝若有所悟，在洞中苦思七日七夜，猛地里豁然贯通，领会了武功中以柔克刚的至理，忍不住仰天长笑。 这一番大笑，竟笑出了一位承先启后、继往开来的大宗师。他以自悟的拳理、道家冲虚圆通之道和九阳真经中所载的内功相发明，创出了辉映后世、照耀千古的武当一派武功。 后来北游宝鸣，见到三峰挺秀，卓立云海，于武学又有所悟，乃自号三丰，那便是中国武学史上不世出的奇人张三丰。
