In the west wind at night, the nine-sky roc and the owl fly, trapping a commoner in the Central Plains. Sad, old friends know the unknown? I want to climb the stairs, hate the unparalleled ladder to heaven!
——"Jin Zi Jing: Night in the West Wind" by Ma Zhiyuan [Yuan Dynasty]
…
Bai Fu decided that when the war subsided a little, he would go to the Shaolin Temple to find out what was going on.
The top priority is to integrate these mental techniques and moves to preserve Shaolin's unique skills. At the same time, teach this skill to Shaanzhou Xiangyong to cultivate a group of warriors with superb martial arts as soon as possible.
Bai Fu organized a marching army to organize the Buddhist scriptures and mental teachings dictated by Xiang Yong into words and compiled them into a book.
At the same time, Bai Fu mapped the seventy-two unique Shaolin skills into an atlas based on his mental skills.
Bai Fu's painting skills are exquisite, and the movements he painted are vivid. The warrior monk's clothes in the painting are in the wind, and his expression is lifelike, which is exactly the painting style of Wu Daozi.
Bai Fu has never seen the martial arts moves corresponding to individual mental techniques. Bai Fu can only carefully figure out the profound meaning of the mental techniques based on the continuity of the previous and later moves.
Bai Fu spent a few months forgetting to eat and sleep, and sorted out the seventy-two unique skills of Shaolin into categories and compiled them into three volumes.
The first volume includes 30% of the seventy-two unique skills, such as Sumeru Divine Palm, Red Flame Sword Technique, Lion's Roar Technique, Phaseless Divine Legs, Vajra Demon Subduing Fist Technique, One-finger Zen, Spiritual Vulture Eagle Claw Technique,
Vimalakīrti's Body Technique, Return and Return Kung Fu, etc., are completely recorded from the mental techniques to the moves.
The secret skills recorded in the second volume are not the original ones of Shaolin, but the restored secrets. Such as Prajna Palm Technique, Dragon Claw Hand, Maha Finger Technique, Drunken Monk's Sword Technique, etc. There are only complete mental techniques and partial moves. For this
Based on some of the secret skills, Bai Fu redesigned the moves and made up for the incomplete boxing records and other secrets.
The third volume is the remaining 20% of the secret techniques, such as Bodhidharma Fuhu Fist, Wudeng Sword Technique, Wu Nian Mind Technique, etc. It only records the full set of mental techniques and sporadic moves. Bai Fu knew very little about this part of the secret technique, and even only heard about it.
Its name can only be used to record the inner thoughts for future reference.
The most regrettable thing is that the most precious treasure in Shaolin martial arts, the three major inner strength and mental methods represented by Tripitaka, Yi Jin Jing, and Marrow Cleansing Sutra, only Yi Jin Jing has been handed down.
In order to distinguish this volume from the original secret books of Shaolin, Bai Fu named this set of martial arts secret books "The Seventy-two Secrets of Shaolin - Qianyuan Volume" after the reign of the Tang Dynasty.
Ever since he was humiliated in the Shaolin Temple, Bai Fu was prejudiced against Shaolin and had no intention of taking a peek at Shaolin martial arts.
This time, in order to continue the unique learning from the past saints, I had to rack my brains and reorganize Shaolin Kung Fu.
Compiling the remaining manuscripts of the unique skills is not only a compilation of Shaolin martial arts, but also a reflection on his own martial arts. This was probably after the day of Lihentian, when Bai Fu once again calmed down and sorted out his kung fu.
After experiencing these tribulations, Bai Fu's pattern has been magnificent, his understanding of martial arts has reached a new level, and he has reached a new level.
During the compilation process, Bai Fu looked up at the mountain and kept feeling that the Shaolin martial arts was profound and profound, and that it was worthy of being the first martial arts in the Central Plains. Only then did he put down his scholastic views and accept the teachings with an open mind.
If we take the Book of Changes as an example, Shaolin martial arts is the Qian hexagram, the movement of heaven is strong, and a gentleman strives to continuously strengthen himself; Taoist martial arts is the Kun hexagram, the terrain is Kun, and a gentleman carries things with great virtue.
There are two ways of martial arts in Buddhism and Taoism, one is hard and the other is soft, and by combining hard and soft, one can achieve the way of heaven.
After the compilation was completed, although Bai Fu did not deliberately practice the seventy-two unique skills of Shaolin, the imprint of Shaolin martial arts was engraved in his heart and he was clear about it.
In particular, the meditation and breathing skills taught by Abbot Kongjian to the village warriors are based on the Yi Jin Sutra, the most precious Buddhist treasure.
Bai Fu originally thought that the internal skills he had practiced for many years were Taoist Xuanmen internal skills and could not be integrated with Shaolin's internal skills.
He never thought that with the blessing of Yi Jin Jing, Bai Fu would be able to master the mental methods of Shaolin's seventy-two stunts.
What's even more incredible is that a new cauldron was built in Baifu's Dantian, specifically for refining the true energy of Buddhism. It echoes the previous cauldron of Taoism, with water and fire complementing each other.
The true qi of the two tripods of Xunkan are guarded by the two tripods. They coexist harmoniously and have great potential to flourish.
It is not unique that two cauldrons were born in the Dantian.
Bai Fu had heard before that the Taoist sect has a "magic method of planting demons in the Taoist heart", which can give birth to a demonic fetus in the Taoist heart and a cauldron within a cauldron.
Sword Saint Pei Min once told Bai Fu, a fellow practitioner of Buddhism and Taoism, and Bingdi Lianhua, that there were two other people in Chang'an. One was Bai Fu's old acquaintance - Prime Minister Li Mi in white, and the other was Wang Wei and Wang Youcheng.
However, the two cauldrons produced by these two people in their Dantian were both used to refine elixirs and prolong life. They never refined Qi and cultivated the strength and Gangqi used in martial arts.
Bai Fu thought hard and guessed that the creation of the Dantian cauldron should also be related to the two Xunkan cauldrons.
Except for the ninth cauldron, all eight cauldrons have the same source of true energy as the heaven and earth, the sun and the moon shine together, and all the laws in the world come from this.
Therefore, it is possible for the two diametrically opposed martial arts mental methods of Buddhism and Taoism to be compatible and harmonious, and water and fire complement each other. Just like the two hexagrams of Qian and Kun, they begin again and again, endlessly.
In addition, Bai Fu paid special attention to the seventy-two Buddhist scriptures, even more than martial arts secret books.
Abbot Kongjian is as wise as the sea and his actions are profound and unpredictable. He put together these Buddhist scriptures and martial arts methods to teach them, which must have profound meaning.
At that time, Elder Kongjia said to Sehei Zuotou: "The reason why the head of the Luohan Hall has agreed to the seventy-two stunts of Shaolin is because the master wants to test the state of the disciple's Buddhist practice before deciding whether to grant martial arts and what kind of martial arts to grant.
Martial arts.
Otherwise, without the control of Buddhism, being obsessed with Shaolin's unique skills, and without a teacher to look after you, it is easy to become possessed."
The past events are so vivid in his mind that Bai Fu dare not be careless.
Bai Fu not only encouraged Xiang Yong to continue reciting Buddhist sutras, but he also memorized these sutras and must practice one lesson every day to make continuous efforts every day.
At the same time, Bai Fu had people copy a complete set of Buddhist scriptures and the "Seventy-two Shaolin Secrets Fragments: Qianyuan Volume", and ordered the disciples of the Tang Sect to secretly submit them to Emei and give them to Master Yuankong.
After settling everything, Bai Fu began to teach the exercises and explain the Dharma.
Based on the internal skills and mental methods practiced by Xiangyong of Shaanzhou over the years, Bai Fu passed on the corresponding martial arts among the seventy-two unique skills one by one to the elite Xiangyong, and then these dozens of elites passed them on to the clan members in the village.
The more primitive, more stable, more lasting, and closer to the Tao the martial arts mind method is; the more profound and mysterious it is, the more difficult it is to practice and the easier it is to be lost.
The Yi Jin Jing is one of the three foundational works of Shaolin martial arts. It is simple, timeless, broad and profound. The profound meaning it contains is the underlying logic of martial arts in the world and does not conflict with other martial arts.
Bai Fu used the first level of kung fu in the Yi Jin Jing as a model, and made it a compulsory course for all military officers to take every day, meditating and breathing in, and cultivating internal strength.
Then, from the seventy-two stunts, we carefully select the few martial arts that are most suitable for fighting in battle formations, simplify the complex ones, and pass them on to the disciples of the Sichuan Gang and the soldiers of Anbeiting.
For example, the Wuxiang Divine Legs, Dragon Claw Hands, and Vimalakīrti's Kung Fu are extremely suitable for close combat. Once practiced, the feet, knees, palms, fingers, and the whole body are all weapons when fighting in close combat.
The Drunken Monk's knife technique is designed to defeat cavalry. Among them, the double rolling swords and the rolling dragon hook spear are the nemesis of the cavalry.
The infantry soldiers, with horizontal knives, hooks and spears coupled with bucklers, rolled and fell, specializing in cutting the horses' hooves. Once a battle formation of dozens of people was launched, even if the opponent was an iron pagoda with both men and horses wearing heavy armor,
Not its opponent.
…
With the blessing of Shaolin martial arts, the martial arts of the officers and soldiers of the three armies have made rapid progress, and the combat effectiveness of the entire army has reached a new level!
With absolute strength that can compete with the elite rebels, Anbeiting Camp clearly has the aura of being arrogant among the heroes and swallowing thousands of miles like a tiger!
