Chapter 37: Arhat Style; Xiaolan's First Qi Movement
So, Abbot Sanzang thought for a moment and said:
"Today, I will first teach you the Arhat posture. After you learn it, go to the Arhat Hall to observe the eighteen Arhats."
"Yes, Master."
Lin Xuan replied respectfully.
Although he knew that the "Nine Diagrams and Six Seated Statues" was the Shaolin's signature martial art, he had never thought about practicing it, which required combining one's mind, Buddha nature, and enlightenment!
This is no small challenge.
Thinking about it.
Abbot Sanzang has stood up. He first sat down on the cushion with a solemn expression, holding a Buddhist sign in his hand, one arm raised over his shoulder, and his feet exposed.
Seeing this situation, Lin Xuan did not dare to be distracted.
He stared intently at his master as he demonstrated the Arhat posture to him.
After staring for a while, for some reason, Lin Xuan suddenly felt that Abbot Sanzang had an ancient and rustic appearance, with deep eyebrows, a big nose, a rough head, and hair and beard like iron.
After a moment, Abbot Sanzang changed his posture.
He no longer sat down, but sat naked on the ground, one hand pointing to the sky, his lips moving, as if he was preaching the scriptures.
He could not hold this position for more than ten breaths before he hunched over and bowed his body, like a monkey waiting...
Do not know why.
The more Lin Xuan looked, the more sore his eyes became. At this moment, dust was floating in the room, and the light and shadow were hazy.
In a trance, Lin Xuan really felt that there seemed to be a Buddhist Arhat in front of him.
Although there is no golden body, the appearance and features of the Buddha are lifelike in every detail.
at the same time.
The Cauldron of Creation had not moved for more than ten days.
At this moment, for some unknown reason, the golden light in the cauldron suddenly increased, and a golden arhat appeared, sitting or standing, like a dragon or a tiger, with Qi running through his body, pouring into his legs and feet, and wind coming from the soles of his feet.
this moment.
Lin Xuan seemed to realize something and fell into deep thought, dazed and absent-minded.
After Abbot Sanzang finished his drill, it took Lin Xuan a while to come back to his senses.
"Lin Xuan, did you remember the Arhat power displayed by your master?" Abbot Sanzang asked casually when he saw this.
"Disciple noted it down."
Lin Xuan said without hesitation.
"Did you really remember it?"
Abbot Sanzang was a little bit unconvinced.
This Arhat posture has eighteen kinds of sitting variations, and Lin Xuan remembered it after only watching it once. Isn't his memory too extraordinary?
"Master, if you don't believe it, just take a look."
Lin Xuan took a step forward and used the Arhat stance that Abbot Sanzang had just used.
As soon as he raised his foot, his aura suddenly stagnated and a faint golden light shone from his feet.
With one step, it was more than half a meter away!
Seeing this scene, Abbot Sanzang's heart skipped a beat and his expression changed drastically:
"you……"
He couldn't imagine that Lin Xuan really mastered the Arhat power!
The Arhat posture in "Nine Diagrams and Six Seated Body Exercises" focuses on the legs and feet.
Previously, the postures that Abbot Sanzang practiced were undoubtedly aimed at clearing the meridians in the legs and feet to absorb qi and store strength.
Abbot Sanzang originally thought that Lin Xuan had not noticed it.
Unexpectedly, I saw through it at a glance.
I even learned a little bit from it.
To know.
An Arhat who has reached the minor success stage can cross three meters with one step.
When it is fully developed, it will be seven zhang!
Coming back to his senses, Abbot Sanzang looked at Lin Xuan with satisfaction, praising him without hesitation. He said:
"Lin Xuan, you have impressed and amazed me once again. This Arhat Stance is a method of training the strength of the legs and feet. It is a method of sitting still and moving without moving. It has a total of eighteen variations."
"Now that you have learned it, you must carefully observe the Eighteen Arhats in their sitting, lying, walking and standing positions."
Lin Xuan said respectfully:
"Disciple obey!"
Hearing this, Abbot Sanzang waved his hand at him.
Signaling him that he could go out.
Seeing this, Lin Xuan bowed eleven times and left the hall.
“This child’s future achievements may surpass those of the three great Shaolin monks in the past…” Abbot Sanzang thought to himself as he watched Lin Xuan leave.
Because he had never seen a Shaolin disciple comprehend the sect's martial arts so quickly!
After leaving the abbot's courtyard, Lin Xuan immediately went to the Arhat Hall and struck while the iron was hot to observe the Eighteen Arhats.
At the beginning, Abbot Sanzang practiced the Arhat posture for Lin Xuan.
Lin Xuan didn't realize that his master was teaching him the techniques of his legs and feet.
But in the Cauldron of Creation, the golden Arhat's Qi surged through his legs and feet, and wind appeared under his feet. Only then did he suddenly realize what was happening.
Understand the true meaning of Arhat posture.
In fact.
The "Nine Diagrams and Six Seated Body Movements" is the most advanced Shaolin martial art.
Since it is a light skill, you must work hard on your legs and feet.
Otherwise, how can one climb walls and fly high off the ground?
Figured this out.
Lin Xuancai hurried to learn the key points and memorized the Arhat posture.
There is one thing that Abbot Sanzang said is correct.
For this martial art, it is not enough to just have the ability to understand. Without Buddha nature and mind nature, it is very difficult to achieve true success and one cannot grasp the essence at all.
After arriving at the Arhat Hall, Lin Xuan began to observe the Eighteen Arhats carefully.
In addition, he muttered and repeated the formula of "Nine Diagrams and Six Seated Statues' Body Movements", pondering it over and over again, trying to guess its meaning.
You need to truly understand the Arhat posture from the inside out.
……
……
This room.
After Hua Xiaolan obtained the "Lanthanpolo Kung Fu", she followed the instructions of Abbot Sanzang and first wrote down the mantras and key points of circulating Qi and meridians.
But she encountered the same problem as Lin Xuan that day.
Due to her lack of medical knowledge, even though she forced herself to memorize the key points, she didn't know how to apply them.
Hua Xiaolan was very distressed about this.
Don’t know what to do?
After encountering trouble, Hua Xiaolan once looked for Lin Xuan and asked him how to solve it.
Lin Xuan's suggestion was naturally to let Hua Xiaolan learn more about medical principles.
Once you have learned it, you can go find Abbot Sanzang and ask the master to guide you in practicing Qi to prevent mistakes.
But unfortunately, Hua Xiaolan is not very good at studying.
I studied with a medical monk for several days, but there was little effect.
She originally wanted to seek guidance from Abbot Sanzang, but then she thought that she couldn't even remember the names of the acupoints, and the master would definitely think that she was stupid and not diligent in her practice.
Without any choice.
Hua Xiaolan had no choice but to try to use the drawings in the secret book to practice Qi and see if it would work.
Hua Xiaolan immersed her mind and found the true Qi in just a moment.
Immediately, she began to search within her body according to the meridians and acupoints marked on the blueprint.
At the beginning, Hua Xiaolan searched very slowly and her Qi flowed haltingly.
But after a quarter of an hour, Hua Xiaolan's Qi circulation speed increased a lot.
For some reason, there were some meridians and acupoints that she clearly didn't know about.
But in the process of practicing Qi, one always has the blessing and spiritual heart to open up certain meridians and acupoints.
At first, she was worried, but after practicing Qigong for a while, she didn't feel any discomfort and instead felt more at ease.
In the end, Hua Xiaolan didn't even look for it deliberately, she naturally knew where that strand of true Qi was going!
Ever since.
After nearly half an hour, Hua Xiaolan's first Qigong exercise was finally successful.
At this moment, she opened her eyes and looked at the book "Landambara Kung" in front of her with a faint smile on her face:
"Does practicing Qi not seem as difficult as you said, brother?"
"Hehe, it seems that my aptitude is better than my brother's. I can learn it without the master's instruction at the first try..."
