Lei Dazhuang's sharp eyes discovered that there were words on the back of the cowhide. Ma Xiaoyao turned it over and saw that there were indeed words on the back of the cowhide, and they were ancient compiled characters. Ma Xiaoyao could barely understand it. He read and read out:
"My name is Tianhai, and I am the eighteenth generation abbot of Shaolin Temple. I am an orphan. I entered the Shaolin Temple when I was very young and learned martial arts from my master. I am extremely talented and it only took me more than twenty years to learn martial arts.
I learned more than 60 stunts in the Shaolin Temple. Later I became the abbot and began to learn the most important treasure of the Shaolin Temple, the Yi Jin Jing. It was very smooth at the beginning, but later on, it became much more difficult. The Yi Jin Jing is
The number one skill in Shaolin Temple contains many martial arts principles. It is very difficult to practice Yi Jin Jing to perfection. As far as I know, since the establishment of Shaolin Temple, only one person has practiced Yi Jin Jing.
When you reach Dacheng, this person is Patriarch Bodhidharma. Apart from Patriarch Bodhidharma, there is no other person who can practice the Yi Jin Jing to Dacheng."
"I am not willing to give in. I must practice the Yi Jin Jing to great perfection. I want to stand side by side with Patriarch Bodhidharma and be respected by all generations!"
"Ideals are beautiful, but reality is cruel. The Yi Jin Jing is really difficult to practice, especially the last half volume, which is as difficult as climbing to the sky."
"Ever since I started practicing the Yi Jin Jing, I no longer had the intention to manage the Shaolin Temple, so I gave up the position of abbot to my junior brother. Then I practiced the Yi Jin Jing wholeheartedly. With my unremitting efforts, I finally managed the Yi Jin Jing.
I have reached the last step of cultivation, and I am just a little short of reaching the state of Dacheng. I can be on par with Patriarch Bodhidharma. I am so happy, I am really happy."
"There is an idiom that extreme happiness brings about sorrow. This is the situation for me now, because I find...my own life span is coming to an end soon, and I no longer have enough time to practice the Yi Jin Jing. I am not willing to accept it. I really am not willing to accept it.
ah."
"The Yi Jin Jing is a very advanced Kung Fu. Sometimes I wonder if it was invented by humans, because the Yi Jin Jing is so powerful... Practicing it can cleanse the essence and cut the marrow, change the body's constitution, and increase lifespan. If
If you can practice the Yi Jin Jing to the level of Dacheng, you can live for many more years... It is for this reason that I have no hesitation in practicing the Yi Jin Jing."
"The effect is remarkable. Since practicing the Yi Jin Jing, I have found that my body is getting better day by day, I am very energetic every day, and my vitality has also been improved. When I live to be a hundred years old, my hair is still extremely black.
There are very few wrinkles, and he looks like he is forty years old, with endless energy all over his body.”
"It wasn't until I was one hundred and thirty years old that I felt a little powerless. I had more gray hair and wrinkles, and my body began to get worse day by day. I knew that I had reached the end of my life... But I didn't
Be willing, I really don’t want to die like this, I want to live another hundred and thirty years.”
"I place all my hopes on the Yi Jin Jing. As long as I practice the Yi Jin Jing to the level of Dacheng, I can improve my physique, increase my lifespan, and continue to live."
"I risked my life. I really risked my life. Success or failure depended on this. If I succeeded, I would live for a few more decades. If I failed, I could only wait to die. In order not to be disturbed, I sealed myself in a stone
Indoors, the entrance has been sealed by me! I didn’t tell anyone about my retreat, not because I didn’t trust my fellow disciples, but because I was afraid of an accident. After all, the retreat was a matter of life and death for me, and I had to guard against it.
"
"I was in seclusion for more than three hundred days, but in the end... I still failed. At that moment, I felt that death was getting closer and closer to me..."
"If I had been given a few more years, I would have been able to practice the Yi Jin Jing to a great level, but unfortunately... God did not give me enough time."
"I want to go out and hand over the Yi Jin Jing to my colleagues in the Shaolin Temple, but I can't get up and walk at all. My body functions have been exhausted, and even speaking has become very laborious."
"The feeling of waiting for death is really painful... so painful... The only regret I have in this life is that I failed to give the Yi Jin Jing to my fellow disciples. I feel very sad when I think that the Yi Jin Jing may be lost because of my selfishness.
The pain...I am a sinner of Shaolin Temple..."
…
After reading the last words of this monk named Tianhai, Ma Xiaoyao sighed: "This monk Tianhai can be regarded as a strange person of his generation..."
"So... the text recorded on the front of this kraft paper is the Yi Jin Jing?" Lei Dazhuang said with his eyes wide open.
Ma Xiaoyao nodded: "It must be. I have seen rumors about the Yi Jin Jing on the Internet before. It is said that the Yi Jin Jing was written by Bodhidharma and is the most amazing book in the world. Who can read the Yi Jin Jing?
Whoever succeeds in cultivation will become the best master in the world... Of course, these are all rumors and cannot be taken as true, but one thing is certain, the Yi Jin Jing is indeed a wonderful book... It's a pity that we can't understand it.
Text……"
"It's useless even if you can understand the words above." Lei Dazhuang shook his head: "We can't practice."
"Yes." Ma Xiaoyao nodded: "There is a treasure in vain, but there is no key to open it." He and Lei Dazhuang are both too old. They cannot even practice the most basic internal skills, let alone practice more advanced ones.
Yi Jin Jing.
pity!
what a shame!
What is the most depressing thing in life? You have found a unique treasure, but you can’t enjoy it! It’s so depressing!
"Actually... the Yi Jin Jing is not completely useless to us..." Ma Xiaoyao pondered for a moment and suddenly said.
"Oh?" Lei Dazhuang raised his eyebrows: "What's the use?"
Ma Xiaoyao folded the Yi Jin Jing and answered the question: "Dazhuang, you said... if I give this Yi Jin Jing to Master Yuantian, will he let us leave the Shaolin Temple?"
"Uh..." Lei Dazhuang was stunned, and then nodded vigorously: "It's very possible! The Yi Jin Jing is the treasure of Shaolin Temple! Master Yuantian must really want to get it!"
"Well, let's give it a try. If it succeeds, it will be the best. If it doesn't succeed...then we can only think of other ways." Ma Xiaoyao searched the stone room carefully and made sure that there was nothing else.
He led Lei Dazhuang away.
By the time they came out of the cave, two hours had passed.
"Come, block this cave. Don't let others discover it for the time being." Ma Xiaoyao called Lei Dazhuang, and the two blocked the entrance of the cave with gravel. Ma Xiaoyao wiped his sweat: "Okay, that's it.
Let’s see, it’s dark here, so if you don’t look carefully, you won’t be able to spot it.”
"Brother Ma, what should we do next? Negotiate directly with Master Yuantian?" Lei Dazhuang asked.
"Of course, I don't want to stay here for a minute. I haven't showered in more than ten days. My clothes are stinky, my body is smelly, and I have countless bug bites on my body. It's itchy and painful. I'm really fed up.
!" Ma Xiaoyao hid the Yi Jin Jing close to his body, and then shouted at the top of his lungs: "Someone is coming, someone is coming quickly!!!"
"What is it called!" Two monks strode in: "It's not time to eat yet!"
"I want to see Master Yuantian!" Ma Xiaoyao said.
"Our master is not free!" the two monks said angrily.
"Listen, I have something very important to meet with Master Yuantian. This matter is related to the future development of your Shaolin Temple. If you don't report it... it will delay the matter, and all the responsibilities will be borne by you!" Ma Xiaoyao
He said coldly.
The two monks were directly "scared" by Ma Xiaoyao. They looked at each other and then said: "We can report it to the master. As for whether the old man wants to see you, it is beyond our control." After that,
The two monks turned around and left the cave.
After waiting for more than half an hour, Master Yuantian walked into the cave slowly. He glanced at Ma Xiaoyao and Lei Dazhuang: "What do you want from me? If you want to beg for mercy, don't open your mouth."
Ma Xiaoyao coughed: "Master, I have a question to ask you."
"What's the problem?" Master Yuantian asked coldly.
"You...does Shaolin Temple have a secret book called Yi Jin Jing?" Ma Xiaoyao asked.
"You know quite a lot." Master Yuantian hummed.
"Has this Yi Jin Jing disappeared?" Ma Xiaoyao asked next.
"Whoa!"
Master Yuantian's expression suddenly changed, and he stared at Ma Xiaoyao with stern eyes: "How did you know about this matter? This matter has always been a top secret in Shaolin Temple, and few people know about it. Where did you hear about it?
"
"It seems that the Yi Jin Jing is really missing." Ma Xiaoyao nodded: "Master, did a monk named Tianhai appear in your Shaolin Temple before?"
"Do you still know Patriarch Tianhai?" Master Yuantian's face became even colder: "Tell me, what else do you know?"
"I also know the whereabouts of the Yi Jin Jing!" Ma Xiaoyao said.
"You...what did you say!!!" Master Yuantian's eyes suddenly widened.
"I said I know the whereabouts of the Yi Jin Jing." Ma Xiaoyao repeated what he just said.
Master Yuantian stared at Ma Xiaoyao, his eyes cold and scary: "Boy, you can't make such a joke casually! Once you anger me, your end will be bad!"
"Do you think I'm joking?" Ma Xiaoyao shrugged: "My freedom is in your hands, how dare I joke with you? I do know the whereabouts of the Yi Jin Jing, of course.
If you don’t believe it, forget it and just pretend I didn’t say anything.”
Master Yuantian stared at Ma Xiaoyao for a moment, then moved his lips slightly and uttered one word: "Speak!"
"What did you say?" Ma Xiaoyao was stunned for a moment.
"Tell me the whereabouts of the Yi Jin Jing." Master Yuantian said.
Ma Xiaoyao pouted: "I can tell you, but you must agree to three conditions."
