Chapter 23: The Realm of Perfection

After getting the Yijin Sutra, Yang Yun opened it and scratched his head. The entire text of the Yijin Sutra was written in Sanskrit and he couldn't understand what it meant at all.

Fortunately, in order to comprehend the Yijin Sutra, Master Huike, the second ancestor of Zen, traveled all over the country and finally talked about Buddhism with a Buddhist monk on Mount Emei, and then translated the Yijin Sutra.

But the translated scriptures talk about Buddhist principles and are not the method of practicing martial arts at all.

Yang Yun turned the scriptures to the end and then breathed a sigh of relief. He saw that the last few pages of the Yijin Sutra were pictures of a bald monk doing various movements.

There are twelve graphic movements in total, and they are also called the twelve stances of Yijin.

"The twelve styles of Yijin, is this the method of practicing the Yijin Jing? I don't know if these twelve movements are effective!"

Yang Yun frowned. His powerful thoughts quickly remembered the twelve figures, and then sent the Yijin Sutra back to the Sutra Pavilion, and went to the martial arts training ground to try to practice.

"The first form of Yijin Jing, Wei Tuo offers a pestle..."

During the martial arts training ground, Yang Yun moved his body and then began to adjust his posture according to the first figure. At this time, Wukong and Kong also practiced stick technique not far away.

When the two saw Yang Yun appear, they wanted to come and say hello, but when they saw the other party constantly adjusting their posture, they seemed to be practicing some martial arts, they stopped.

"Senior Brother, what secret method is Junior Brother Juezhen practicing? Why do you feel a little familiar with the movements?" Lekong grabbed his forehead.

Wukong is the eldest brother of the Shaolin Temple monk. He knows all the secret martial arts techniques of Shaolin Temple well. After watching for a moment, he immediately showed a look of pride.

"These are the twelve styles of Yijin that are attached to the Yijin Sutra. This is not a secret martial art, but a method created by Master Bodhidharma back then to strengthen the body!"

Wukong immediately explained. After Master Bodhidharma founded the Zen Buddhism, he faced the walls in Shaolin Temple for nine years, and was still motionless for most of the nine years. If ordinary people faced the walls for nine years, their muscles and bones would be completely deformed and they would never stand up again.

After Master Bodhidharma faced the wall, his body was as normal as usual, and he relied on these twelve sets of easy tendons to move the body and bones. The so-called easy means change. The tendons are musculoskeletons, and the meridians refer to the method.

The Yi Jin Jing is a method of changing the muscles of the human body through exercise. Long-term practice can strengthen the body, strengthen the foundation and strengthen the essence, and allow the old monk who has been studying Buddhist scriptures for many years to be able to be healthy without any illness.

"So, the Yijin Jing is a health-preserving skill that can strengthen the body. Junior Brother Juezhen has practiced the secret method of iron cloth shirt to the second level. His body is as strong as a cow. It is not very useful to practice this kind of martial arts!" Lekong said disapprovingly.

They are Shaolin monks, and their responsibilities are to protect the mountain gate, so what they value most is martial arts that can enhance their strength. Neither Lekong nor Wukong valued the Yijin Jing much.

While the two were talking, Yang Yun made the most standard posture through constant adjustments.

At the moment when this posture was completed, Yang Yun's powerful mental power suddenly felt a little change in his body.

This change is too subtle. If Yang Yun had not been fully focused and used all his spiritual power when adjusting his movements, he would not have noticed this.

"I did not use the causal points, so I practiced the iron cloth shirt to the second level. The body's membrane, muscles and bones are several times stronger than before. However, the essence of the iron cloth shirt is still a horizontal martial arts!"

To practice martial arts horizontally means to strengthen the body and strengthen the body. When pursuing powerful strength, the body will more or less leave hidden injuries.

If you practice inferior methods, the practitioner will have great hidden dangers in the body. When a person is about 40 years old, his physical condition will begin to decline rapidly and he will soon age and die.

A superior method can reduce hidden dangers and use various methods to repair hidden injuries. The secret method of iron cloth shirt is a superior secret method. The ointment during practice is the key to repairing hidden injuries in the body.

"The secret method of iron cloth shirt has ointment to repair hidden injuries, but when I look inside, I can still find the damage to the subtle parts of my muscles and muscles! This secret method should be able to maintain strong strength before the age of 60!"

The ability to maintain strength before the age of sixty is enough to prove the strength of the secret technique of iron cloth shirt. You should know that Qin Qiong, a peerless general under Li Shimin, can only maintain strength before the age of sixty. After this stage, he will be bedridden and die soon.

Maintaining strength before the age of 60 is the limit of practicing martial arts in the Shaolin Temple world.

But at this time, Yang Yun discovered that when he was practicing the twelve styles of Yijin, the finest meridians, muscles and bones in his body began to slowly repair the slightest damage as the qi and blood flow and his movements.

“It’s really useful!”

Yang Yun was delighted that the Yijin Jing could consolidate the roots and cultivate the essence through the circulation of qi and blood. It is indeed the supreme method to strengthen the body.

However, this kind of magic practice is a bit rigorous. You must reflect yourself through powerful spiritual power and make the body's posture and movements fully match the graphics, so that the slightest secret injuries can be slowly repaired by pushing the qi and blood.

If the movements are not in place, practicing the twelve styles of Yijin will at most strengthen the body and cannot play the supreme magical function of repairing hidden injuries, strengthening roots and strengthening the essence.

In Shaolin Temple, only a few eminent monks and masters who have profound Buddhist teachings practice all year round can they have spiritual power far beyond ordinary people and meet the conditions for getting started with the Yijin Sutra.

For example, Wukong, Lekong and others only know how to practice iron cloth shirts and cannot understand the effect of this wonderful method.

After feeling the effect of the Yijin Jing, Yang Yun spent most of his time practicing. Except for the daily morning classes, he basically did not step out of the temple.

A few months later, King Li Shimin of Qin defeated King Dou Jiande of Xia in Hulao Pass, captured the Hebei hero alive, and then returned to force Wang Shichong to surrender. He destroyed the two kings in one battle, completely laying the foundation for the Tang Dynasty to unify the world.

After winning the war, King Li Shimin of Qin also sent people to Shaolin Temple. In order to repay Yang Yun's kindness to kill Wang Renze and save his life, he specially rewarded Shaolin Temple's apprentice 300 acres.

The external mess has not affected Yang Yun's cultivation at all.

On this day and night, Yang Yun made the last move of the twelve stances of Yijin in the Zen room. After half a stick of incense, he slowly recovered as usual, opening his mouth and vomiting a breath of turbid air.

"I didn't expect that after practicing all the twelve styles of Yijin, practicing hard skills like iron cloth shirts will be twice the result with half the effort. It takes more than ten years of hard work for ordinary people to reach the third level, but it only took me a few months to reach the perfect level of the third level!"

Yang Yun stretched out his hands and looked at his hands.

The hands, which were originally very rough because of practicing hard skills, have now become round and shiny, just like the palms of the young masters of the aristocratic family who are well-maintained.

Not only his palms, but also his body also lacked the hardness of the second level of iron cloth shirt.

If you use a sentence to describe Yang Yun’s state at this time, it is to use both hardness and softness, and return to nature! The hard skills of the iron cloth shirt he practiced have completely melted into his body.
