Chapter 12: Qi is the mystery of creation; Dragon Elephant Subduing Demons
In fact, Elder Xuanfeng never thought that Abbot Sanzang had already determined that Lin Xuan was the reincarnation of one of the three great Shaolin monks in the past.

If not for this, he would find it hard to believe that such a young man with outstanding talents would suddenly appear in Shaolin at this time.

After complaining for a while, Lin Xuan still responded obediently:

"It's from the disciples' association!"

Seeing this, Abbot Sanzang smiled with satisfaction, then stood up and said:
"First, follow me to the Sutra Library and choose an internal skill that suits you."

"Yes, master."

Not long after, Lin Xuan followed Abbot Sanzang out of the abbot's courtyard and walked towards the Sutra Library.

If Lin Xuan's guess is correct.

The "Book of Power" that the Black Fox King has been pursuing should be in the Sutra Library.

But Lin Xuan didn't know where exactly it was.

Unless, later on, Abbot Sanzang allows him to freely browse the martial arts books in the Sutra Library.

But obviously, it is not very realistic.

After the two arrived at the Sutra Library, Abbot Sanzang came to a bookshelf alone, took out two books of internal skills with ease, and handed them to Lin Xuan:

"Lin Xuan, these are Shaolin's 'Arahant Magic Skills' and 'Dragon Elephant Subduing Demon Skills'. Take a look at them first and pick the one that you think is suitable."

"Thank you, master."

Lin Xuan took the two books of martial arts without hesitation.

Although he didn't know what these two skills were, but judging from the names they should be similar.

After all, I am the disciple of Abbot Sanzang, and he will not fool me with low-grade skills.

In fact.

These two skills are both Shaolin's superior internal skills.

If one cultivates it to perfection, the true Qi stimulated by this method will be enough to perform most of the Shaolin Temple's martial arts moves.

After handing the skills to Lin Xuan, Abbot Sanzang no longer cared about him.

Instead, he patiently looked through the books and volumes on the shelves of the Sutra Library, hoping to find a way to deal with the Black Fox King.

……

……

It is said that after Lin Xuan acquired these two skills, he found a place in the pavilion and sat down.

He took a quick look at the two techniques.

I discovered that "Arahant Magical Skills" advocates that Qi should be identified with the body, that is, one should regard one's own Dantian as a piece of heaven and earth, and stimulate the true Qi from within, replenishing it one by one, thereby strengthening the muscles and bones and strengthening the meridians.

The "Dragon Elephant Subduing Demons Skill" strives to achieve the unity of Qi and God.

Abandoning the approach of seeking the true Qi from within, it advocates controlling the Qi with the mind, that is, releasing the true Qi in the body to resonate and reflect with the external heaven and earth, thus allowing the true Qi to reach a thick, far-reaching, and endless level.

After reading it carefully, Lin Xuan felt that the "Dragon Elephant Subduing Demons Art" was of a higher grade than the "Arhat Divine Art" in all fairness.

Correspondingly, it will be more difficult to practice.

"Should I choose the Arhat Divine Art or the Dragon Elephant Subduing Demon Art?"

Lin Xuan was in a dilemma.

However, he only hesitated for three breaths before making a decision:

"I already have a golden finger, why should I be so fussy?"

"That's it!"

Lin Xuan gritted his teeth and picked up the book "Dragon Elephant Subduing Demons".

at this time.

Abbot Sanzang came to Lin Xuan's side.

Earlier, while Lin Xuan was choosing these two books of martial arts, Abbot Sanzang had roughly finished reading the documents and materials related to the Black Fox King in the Sutra Library.

To Abbot Sanzang's disappointment, the files collected in the Sutra Repository only contained a few records about the Black Fox King.

After reading it, he only knew that the Black Fox King was immortal and had mastered the magic of controlling fire, etc.

However, Abbot Sanzang still had no idea of ​​his weaknesses or fatal points.

Although I didn’t find what I wanted, I still gained something.

Putting aside his distracting thoughts, Abbot Sanzang looked at Lin Xuan and asked kindly:

"How is it? Lin Xuan, have you chosen which technique you want to practice?"

"Master, I have made my choice."

Lin Xuan raised the "Dragon Elephant Subduing Demons Skill" in his hand and said.

"Is it this one?" Upon seeing this, Abbot Sanzang was slightly startled.

He looked at Lin Xuan deeply and didn't say much.

After the two of them left the Sutra Repository.

So he returned to the abbot's residence.

Abbot Sanzang sat aside and said to Lin Xuan:

"Lin Xuan, since you have chosen this technique, you must have a general idea of ​​where the Qi in this technique comes from?"

"The disciple understands."

Lin Xuan nodded, and then asked sincerely:

"I just don't know how to reflect the true Qi in my body with the external world, and how to strengthen this true Qi?"

Abbot Sanzang smiled and explained:
"To understand, you must understand what is Chi?"

"Qi?"

Hearing this, Lin Xuan was stunned.

He really doesn't know what Qi is?
This breath of Qi in the body should have been produced by practicing Luohan Fist yesterday.

Seeing that he was puzzled, Abbot Sanzang said in a Zen-like manner:
"Qi is the origin of all things and the mystery of creation."

"Chi is everywhere, in you and me, and in all living things."

Hear this.

Lin Xuan seemed to understand, which meant that Qi existed between heaven and earth, and in life.

"Then how do we find Qi?"

Lin Xuan asked again.

"Nature requires you to feel it with your heart."

Abbot Sanzang laughed.

“Feel it with your heart?”

Lin Xuan was stunned. Isn't this an idealistic theory?

But the next moment, Lin Xuan knew he was wrong.

Abbot Sanzang patiently explained:
"First, remember the method of Qi circulation mentioned above, and then let me personally guide you to circulate Qi. Only when Qi is activated can you use it to find other Qi in the world."

"Disciple understands."

Lin Xuan answered seriously.

After saying that, he picked up the book "Dragon Elephant Subduing Demons" and began to read it attentively.

Write down one by one all the acupoints and meridians in the body that are involved when practicing this exercise.

After looking at the exercises for a while, Lin Xuan felt dizzy.

I just regret that I didn’t study human anatomy in my previous life.

Lin Xuan had never seen many acupoints and meridians before.

Not to mention understanding.

For this reason, even if he wrote it down, he only had a partial understanding of it.

Seeing Lin Xuan's gradually frowning brows, Abbot Sanzang said earnestly:
“Dripping water wears away a stone, but it takes time.”

"Lin Xuan, in the next few days, you should patiently study the way of Qi. There are books on medicine and pharmacology on the first floor of the Sutra Library. You can go and read them in your spare time."

"If you encounter something you don't know, just ask the monks in the temple who are proficient in this field."

In fact, Abbot Sanzang could completely explain the ways of practicing Qi to Lin Xuan one by one, and could even teach him step by step to identify the acupoints and meridians.

But that would hinder the latter's pursuit.

Geniuses with extraordinary talents are rare, but people who are able to seek the truth personally and are good at learning are also rough diamonds.

It is truly rare to have both!

Hearing this, Lin Xuan responded obediently:
"Yes, Master, I'll take note of it."

He understood that it was Abbot Sanzang who was evaluating him.

Speaking of medical theories, Lin Xuan also wanted to study them carefully.

Since ancient times, practicing martial arts and studying medicine have not conflicted.

Many martial arts masters are often also skilled in medical skills.
