Back at the monk's residence, Li Su scratched his head and felt something was wrong with Monk Tianming's eyes.
Regardless, it is very necessary for him to obtain Luohan Kung.
Not only is there no movement in Jing Gong practice and no one will notice anything, but more importantly it is an advanced version of Luo Han Quan, so the two must be quite compatible.
Wake up step by step, go to morning classes, clean up, and practice.
Until three days later.
Li Su went to Luohan Hall alone.
Monk Tianming is here.
"come yet?"
"sit down!"
The old monk's expression was calm, without the weird look he had three days ago, and he said: "Arhat Kung is an advanced technique of Arhat Fist. It was originally specialized in Arhat Hall, but because it is extremely difficult, almost no one can practice it in recent years.
Although it is one of the seventy-two unique arts of Shaolin and ranks among the top ten, in fact, it is not highly recommended for teachers to learn it. It is very likely that you will not make any progress for decades. Even so, do you still want to learn it?"
Li Su thought for a moment, took out a charcoal pen and wrote: "Master, what you mean is that to learn Arhat Gong, do you need to join the Arhat Hall first?"
"That's not necessary."
Monk Tianming shook his head and said: "Arhat Gong is too difficult to practice, and almost no one has succeeded in it. Although learning requires reporting."
Li Su thought for a while, nodded and wrote: I will learn.
It doesn't matter if you can learn it or not. Luohan Quan is making good progress. At worst, you can just wait twenty or thirty years until you are senior enough and change.
"good."
Monk Tianming nodded, "Arhat Kung Fu does not establish words, does not write books, does not preach, it only seeks enlightenment. Although it is a quiet Kung Fu, it is actually practicing the law and cultivating the appearance of all sentient beings in Arhat."
But I saw Monk Tianming crossing his legs, clasping his hands together, and reciting sutras silently.
The sound was like Sanskrit singing or chanting, with an inexplicable rhythm that pulled at people's hearts.
When Li Su was confused, he suddenly saw that the scenery in front of him was no longer Monk Tianming. Instead, he was an Arhat sitting in front of him, speaking softly and chanting Sanskrit. There seemed to be a golden light filling his body.
Strange, mysterious, indescribable.
The light is colorful and the sound makes the heart empty and the soul quiet.
As they pulled, the world seemed to change, everything appeared in detail, and the surrounding space seemed to expand a thousand times in an instant. Countless worlds could be seen inside, and in that world sat an Arhat, and the light became more and more dazzling.
As if reaching the other shore, my soul is lodged between the two trees.
It seems like a moment, and it seems like countless years.
Accompanied by indescribable fatigue and sleepiness, Li Su was stunned and returned to the room where he was. Monk Tianming was in front of him again.
With eyes wide open, Li Su looked at the old monk in shock and confusion.
Just now...?
No, you are in the world of martial arts, right? Why, did you see Arhat? Does internal strength have such an effect?
Monk Tianming smiled and said, "What did you see?"
Picked up the pen and wrote: "I saw Arhat!"
"Well, that's right. Arhat Kung has no specific method, no fixed formula, is not recorded in books, and cannot be expressed in words. It can only be experienced by you in this way, and from now on, you can only practice it by yourself through this experience.
Find it and realize it yourself.”
Li Su's eyes moved and he wrote: "Master, does this mean practicing through visualization?"
"Visualization?" Monk Tianming was startled, and then said with a smile on his face: "This word is used very well. Yes, Luohan Gong can be said to be visualization, the method of visualization."
"I understand, thank you, Master, for teaching me the Dharma."
"Well, go ahead."
Li Su bowed and wrote: "Yes, I will resign."
Seeing Li Su walk to the threshold, Monk Tianming suddenly said: "Xuankong."
Li Su stopped.
"You..., forget it, go ahead."
When Li Su's footsteps disappeared, Monk Tianming shook his head and recited Amitabha.
I'm in awe...
His original intention was to ask Li Su what scene he saw.
Arhat Gong is a visualization method that can only be passed down in this way. The recipient will have a chance to see the 'Arhat'.
This Arhat sees different things depending on the person.
According to records, there are three levels: One Arhat, Eighteen Arhats, and Five Hundred Arhats.
An Arhat is the shallowest, and Monk Tianming is at this level. He has been practicing the magical power of an Arhat for thirty years and is just wandering in front of the door.
The Eighteen Arhats are very powerful. In the history of Shaolin Temple, the eminent monks who have achieved the magical power of Arhats are basically on this level.
As for the last five hundred Arhats, according to records, only Patriarch Bodhidharma saw such a scene.
The five hundred here does not mean that what you see is five hundred, but it means many.
There are so many Arhats that we can see that it is difficult to describe their number, so we call them Five Hundred Generations.
Li Su replied that if he saw Arhat, he should probably be one. Otherwise, he would answer that he saw many Arhats.
The words of the senior brother undoubtedly showed that Monk Tianming was not as relaxed as he appeared. The ending of the Shaolin Temple in Quanzhou undoubtedly sounded a huge alarm. Over the past few decades, the Shaolin Temple in Putian has continuously sent disciples down the mountain just to intimidate him.
Let's take a look.
"Xuan Cheng has performed well. If it continues to be the same in the future, I will recommend him to be put there."
Monk Tianming paused for a moment. As for Xuan Kong... even if he is truly gifted, he only has a few years to master the Arahant skill, so it is basically useless. Let’s treat it as a casual move first.
*******
He returned to his usual place of practice in a rather dazed state. Sitting on the steps, Li Su had a strange look in his eyes.
Is this a martial arts novel?
Is this JJTU’s system?
Arhats all appeared.
Recalling the scene in the back of his mind, Li Su couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. Shouldn't this Arhat Kung Fu be practiced to the end and be able to become an Arhat Kungfu?
After resting for a while and regaining his energy, Li Su took the sweeper and started cleaning.
Not long after, Xuanci and others also ran over.
They helped clean up together, and after finishing, they immediately started practicing their newly learned martial arts impatiently.
Vajra Palm, Demon-Conquering Stick.
With Xuanci as the leader, Xuancheng, Xuanku and Xuannan are all in the palm.
The other three are using the stick method.
No one seems to be learning how to do it.
However, it's not surprising.
In fact, there are relatively few people who choose chain legs.
After coming to Shaolin Temple for more than two years, most people still know that Shaolin Kung Fu is most practiced on the hands, and the leg techniques are not lacking, but compared to the Kung Fu performed by both hands, there is a huge gap.
There is no doubt that with the new skills, not to mention Xuan Cheng, Xuan Ci and others are very energetic and as serious as when they first practiced Arhat Boxing.
Looking at the seven people performing the exercises, Li Su smiled, put down the broom, and sat down cross-legged in the corner.
I plan to learn some Arhat Kung Fu, but whether I practice it or not is secondary. Passing the time is the main thing. According to the energy of these people, especially Xuan Cheng, there is no way to think that the other party will stop before dark.
Do you think of the method of visualization...?
Li Su was a little curious. He was familiar with this word. It was used in many novels, but it was not a martial arts novel, but a fairy tale novel.
I just don’t know what the different concepts are in martial arts.
With a thought, Li Su began to recall the scene he saw.
As the memory floated, the image of the Arhat that I had seen appeared immediately, but it was different from the time when Monk Tianming passed it on. It was very hazy, as if he was chanting sutras, but he could not hear it.
I wanted to see clearly, but I found that the more I thought about it, the blurrier it became. Not only that, but my mind became more confused and unable to concentrate.
For a moment, Li Su couldn't help opening his eyes and took a breath.
He found that after some meditation, not only was he unable to enter concentration, but his breath was also confused.
Is it only possible to see that level at the moment? Inexplicably, such a feeling came to Li Su's mind.
Close your eyes, rest for a while, and then start visualizing again when you are full of energy.
This time, he did not pursue seeing clearly. After Arhat appeared, Li Su just watched and felt it quietly.
Sure enough, with this move, the previous irritability disappeared, and not only that, but also gradually my body and mind became refreshed.
Just sit there for several hours.
It quickly became dark, and Xuanci and others also stopped, glanced at Li Su who was meditating with his eyes closed, and left without disturbing them.
After getting along with each other for more than two years, we are basically familiar with several people.
Xuan Kong is a little unsociable, but that's probably because he can't speak. And the most important thing is that if something happens, he will take the initiative to complete your task without you having to say anything.
call!
It was completely dark, and Li Su took a long breath and completed a practice of Arhat Gong.
When he opened his eyes, there was a strange look on his face.
Didn’t the old monk Tianming say that Arhat Kung is difficult to practice? It seems that he doesn’t find it difficult when he practices it himself.
Moreover, Li Su, who practiced once, also understood one thing, that is why the old monk said that Luohan Gong was a spiritual exercise.
Because after some practice, his internal strength did not increase at all, but shrank.
Regarding this, Li Su was not panicked. He could feel that the shrinking internal force was not less, but more solid.
Arhat Boxing is about nourishment? Arhat Kung Fu is about training?
Feeling the condition of his body, Li Su was a little stunned. There is no doubt that Buddhist martial arts and Taoist exercises are going in completely different directions.
No wonder, the practice of Shaolin Temple exercises needs to be coordinated with Buddhism.
Quiet Kung Fu is actually refining Qi? No wonder someone can become obsessed if not careful, and it is basically difficult to save. The only way is to eliminate all Kung Fu.
The boxing technique is already very strong, and the practice of Jing Gong refines the already strong energy even more solidly.
Taking a long breath, Li Su stood up and started practicing Arhat Boxing.
He is looking forward to the combination of Luohan Quan and Luohan Kung. If he practices it for many years, what will it become in the end? Will it be comparable to the top kung fu techniques such as Nine Yang Divine Kung?
