Yan Ling slowly walked into the Sutra Collection Pavilion and at the same time looked around. All he could see were bookshelves filled with various sutras.
Yan Ling thought to himself: "It is indeed a holy land of martial arts. Looking at these scriptures, I know that it is well-deserved."
Books in ancient times are very precious, but Shaolin Temple has so many books. The ancient monks were indeed very rich.
Yan Ling walked straight up to the second floor of the Sutra Pavilion. On the way here, his master had told him a lot about the Sutra Pavilion. According to Huilun, the first floor of the Sutra Pavilion was full of
For Buddhist scriptures, the second floor contains some experience notes or miscellaneous talks of predecessors. The secret books of martial arts are on the third floor.
Therefore, Yan Ling walked upstairs without looking at the books on the first floor.
When you get to the third floor, you will see that there are still bookshelves dotted in every corner of the room. But if you pay close attention, you will find that compared to the bookshelves downstairs, there are not so many bookshelves here, and not all of them are filled with bookshelves.
Yan Ling didn't care about these differences. He took a few steps to the bookshelf closest to the inner staircase, couldn't wait to pick up a secret book and opened it.
After all, when he was practicing Xingyiquan on earth, in order to understand some ancient books, Yan Ling had done some research on the texts of the major Chinese dynasties. And there were also people who taught relevant knowledge in Shaolin. After all, monks still need to have a certain knowledge of the scriptures.
How can a person who understands and is illiterate understand chanting sutras and worshiping Buddha? Therefore, these secret books cannot trouble him.
Yan Ling's eyes lit up and he recognized the origin of this secret book. It was one of the famous seventy-two Shaolin skills - Vajra Palm. Yan Ling remembered that it seemed to be the abbot of Shaolin - Master Xuanci.
Specialized in martial arts.
But Yan Ling was not too excited. After all, in his memory, this Vajra Palm seemed to be a palm technique that requires deep internal strength to exert its power. Therefore, Yan Ling just glanced at it briefly, put the book back to its original position, and took it out again.
Another one to watch.
Next, Yan Ling's eyes were opened. The secret books he read included all kinds of things, including martial arts that focused on fighting, as well as internal force guidance methods. Famous martial arts such as Wave Palm and Wuxiang Jie Finger also appeared.
Young, I even saw the Prajna Heart Sutra, an internal power and mental method that I thought was very powerful when I heard the name.
But Yan Ling did not stop flipping through the book because he was attracted by these martial arts. On the contrary, Yan Ling wanted to know if there was a better choice here.
Although Yan Ling had tried his best to turn the pages of the book as quickly as possible, there were still too many martial arts in Shaolin Temple. Unknowingly, the sun had already set below the horizon and the moon had begun to loom in the clouds.
Slowly, Yan Ling read almost all the books on the third floor of the Sutra Pavilion. Although he did not study them seriously, he still had some superficial understanding of the basic characteristics of various martial arts.
To be honest, Yan Ling has not yet found a secret book that suits his own needs. In fact, Yan Ling's purpose is also very clear. First of all, the secret book he needs must be able to cultivate internal strength. After all, internal strength is the foundation of all the major martial arts in the world. Without internal strength,
, even if you learn the Six Meridians Divine Sword, you won’t be able to use it.
Secondly, physical exercise is also indispensable. After all, Yan Ling is going to continue to practice Xingyi Quan. It would be great if he could find a martial arts book that can practice internal force and body together. In short, Yan Ling just wants to find a book
Martial arts that are both internal and external!
Yan Ling shook his head, wondering if he should lower his requirements and find a more powerful martial arts book. The big guy sweeping the floor of the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion has beaten countless masters with a strong wall of energy. You're helpless.
While Yan Ling was thinking about it, he took out all kinds of secret books that had been circulated enough to make martial arts people fight with their heads, and kept reading them, and then put them back in their original places. Suddenly, Yan Ling's eyes lit up, and he glanced at the pages he had just read. Instead, read the secret book in your hand carefully at a slow speed.
This secret book is very quaint, and there is even some dust on the cover. It seems that no one has picked up this secret book and read it for a long time. It is also the first time for Yan Ling to come to the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, and he reads the books one by one along the bookshelf. Picked up this book.
What interests Yan Ling is not the lack of interest in this book, but the name of the book - The Golden Bell!
At first, Yan Ling just thought that this was an ordinary hard skill book, just like the iron cloth shirt that often appeared with it, a must-have for all heroes! But after the introduction of the secret book, Yan Ling seemed to have discovered something extraordinary. Like a baby, with bright eyes, he started to read word by word this secret book that no one had read for a long time.
When Yan Ling finished reading this golden bell, it was already the full moon. When Yan Ling raised his head, he suddenly realized that it was getting late, and no one had added candles to the Scripture Pavilion.
The dim candlelight swayed on Yan Ling's face, adding a touch of depth to him, and coupled with the candlelight reflected in the deep pupils, it made him a little more mature.
Yan Ling closed the secret book in his hand, raised the corners of his mouth, and was overjoyed: "There is indeed something in the Shaolin Buddhist Scripture Pavilion, and this secret book should be mine."
This secret book allowed Yan Ling to re-understand the martial arts of the Golden Bell. Different from the Golden Bell in Yan Ling's impression, this martial arts is not different from the external skills mentioned in some novels that Yan Ling has read before. Press The secret book in Yan Ling's hand records that the Golden Bell is not just about practicing external skills, it itself includes the cultivation of internal strength, and it is a top secret book for both internal and external training.
Thinking about it, the golden bell cover is almost invulnerable and invulnerable to water and fire after being refined. How could it be possible without the cooperation of such magical power as internal force?
This secret book records that to get started with the Golden Bell Cover, you need to first have a sense of Qi, which is Yan Ling's current state - there seems to be a surge of Qi in the body when practicing boxing. Then follow the methods recorded in the secret book to strengthen this internal force until Refining an internal force that is extremely strong and yang, and finally using a special method to refine this internal force throughout the body, only by persisting in this way can the golden bell be refined.
This is simply the best technique in Yan Ling's mind. It can cultivate both internal strength and the physical body at the same time. In the eyes of a master of Chinese martial arts like Yan Ling, nothing is more important than the physical body.
To be honest, Yan Ling was afraid at first that the Shaolin Temple didn’t have any body training techniques. After all, Buddhists often say that the body is just a stinky skin. Fortunately, Buddhists also have a golden body that is indestructible!
Although there were still some secret books that he had not read, Yan Ling had already found the martial arts he needed, and Yan Ling also realized that it was getting late, so he naturally stopped looking for the secret books.
Yan Ling looked around at the bookshelves, sighed at the vastness of Shaolin martial arts, and walked downstairs with the golden bell in his hand.
"Two uncles, these are the martial arts I selected." Yan Ling remembered that when he came, his master Huilun seemed to have mentioned that the monk guarding the Sutra Pavilion was from the same generation as him.
When the two monks saw the simple words "Golden Bell" on the book in Yan Ling's hand, they couldn't help but give Yan Ling a different look. In their impression, no one practiced this martial art in Shaolin, and it was not practiced in the whole world.
In the history of martial arts, only Shaolin master Bodhidharma has written records of his cultivation to the great state.
The two monks are very different. I didn't expect that people would choose this martial arts nowadays. But if you think about it carefully, this young monk is not a monk halfway. He grew up in Shaolin, so he doesn't know much about martial arts.
"Well, you can take it. Remember to send back the secret book after three days and not to leak out the martial arts." The two monks looked at each other and one of them said.
"yes!"
Yan Ling's immature face was filled with a serious expression. Even in the era of information explosion like the 21st century on earth, the secrets of various martial arts circles were not easily leaked, let alone the ancient times where portals were more valued.
Even though Yan Ling didn't pay much attention to this kind of rule, he still had to maintain a superficial attitude.
Sure enough, the two monks looked at Yan Ling's attitude and nodded with satisfaction. (To be continued)
