Chapter 87 A monster with a human face and a sphinx? Xiaolong: "This is unscientific!" [Long chapter, please subscribe]

There are five postures in Nine Diagrams and Six Seated Body Techniques.

The power of Arhat, the power of Bodhi, the power of Vajra, the power of Wonderful Enlightenment, and the power of Galan.

Among them, only the Galan posture focuses on leaping and flying.

With just a small achievement, he could easily jump off the ground and reach a height of eight feet.

If one can practice to perfection, even twenty feet is possible!
There are even files in the Shaolin Temple's Sutra Library that record that a former abbot of the Dharma Academy studied this method in depth, and after achieving success, he leaped up to the top of the clouds!
Although it may be exaggerated, it also proves the excellence of this achievement.

Chi!
Lin Xuan's mind was circulating, and his spirit platform was quiet. The next moment he leaped up, using the Galan force, and rose from the ground.

In a flash, he jumped onto the treetops that were more than ten feet above the ground!

At this moment, Lin Xuan's body was as still as a bell, standing on the thin dry branches.

It feels like being above the vast sea of ​​smoke.

Doing these things is nothing.

Lin Xuan had practiced Bodhi posture before, and his body was filled with Qi, making him as light as a flying goose.

If there is a river below.

Then he could cross the river with just a reed.

"It's twelve feet above the ground, which is not bad. According to this trend, it will be completed in another seven or eight days."

Looking down at the ground, Lin Xuan seemed to be thinking about something.

Standing on the tree canopy, Lin Xuan had a broad view and could almost overlook the entire Shaolin.

Every scene and every object is in your eyes.

Lin Xuan just looked down at the magnificent ancient temple at the foot of the mountain and then looked away.

Then, I looked at the world.

Right now, everything is withering and the grass is dry and yellow.

Occasionally, a gust of north wind blows, bringing with it bursts of whistling sounds through the forest, adding a bit of desolation to the surrounding areas.

"Winter is coming soon..." Lin Xuan muttered to himself.

The next moment, he moved and leaped onto the treetops on the opposite side.

In this way, over and over again, it seems like I am traveling in this sea of ​​forests.

Unconsciously, he became more proficient in understanding and applying the Galanshi.

……

……

It was almost noon, so Lin Xuan went down the mountain to have lunch with Xiaolong, Xiaohu and Xiaolan.

He still has the habit of eating three bowls of rice.

The dinner table.

Xiaohu told everyone about Elder Xuanfeng's investigation of him in the morning, and finally said with luck:

"It wasn't easy, but I finally got past Elder Xuanfeng."

Speaking of exquisiteness.

Lin Xuan remembered that the last time Xiaolong suggested eating mutton bone stew, Xiaohu was worried about this assessment.

If it weren't for the incident with Master Gongjin, he would have completed it long ago.

Then, Xiaohu smiled again:
"However, Master said that I will be able to advance to the Qi Yuan Realm next year, after the beginning of spring."

"That's good progress, Tiger."

Upon hearing this, Lin Xuan began to praise.

Xiaohu was the last one to become a disciple, and his foundation was the worst compared to the others.

After learning martial arts for more than half a year, I have made such great progress, which is worth learning from.

"Brother Xiaohu!"

Several people were talking.

Suddenly, a handsome young man with long hair came in to get food. When he saw Chen Xiaohu, he immediately greeted him.

"Hey, Anping."

Xiaohu smiled at the man as a response.

"Anping?"

Lin Xuan, who was eating, raised his eyebrows when he heard this.

He immediately looked up at the young man.

His name is Anping?

Lin Xuan remembered that in the original book, there appeared a monster with a human face and a lion's body.

And that monster was transformed by Anping!
He relies on the mysterious power of a magic card.

In the original story line, Anping was bullied by Lu Yan and accidentally fell into a deep cave. He picked up the magic card. Since he could not control the power of the magic card, he would turn into a sphinx every night and endanger the people.

In the end, it was up to the protagonist group of Longhulan to resolve the crisis.

More than half a year ago, Lin Xuan taught Lu Yan a lesson.

Afterwards, he restrained himself a lot.

I haven't heard of Lu Yan bullying anyone else in these days.

The present Anping took the initiative to greet Xiaohu. He did not look as self-deprecating and weak as in the original book. Instead, he was quite cheerful and sunny.

At the same time, Xiaolong looked at Anping curiously, and felt that he was a little strange, so he asked casually:
"Xiao Hu, who is he?"

"He is Elder Xuanfeng's new lay disciple named Anping, and he has only been in Shaolin for less than half a month."

Xiaohu explained.

"That's it..."

Xiaolong nodded.

I remember him.

Just lunch.

Lin Xuan immersed himself in the practice of Prajna Zen Palm.

It was almost afternoon, so he went to practice his archery.

At night, I would go to the Sutra Library and occasionally look for Master Gongjin to discuss Buddhist teachings and Zen.

By the way, let him give me some pointers on the Prajna Zen Palm.

Before you know it, a day has passed.

For the next period of time, Lin Xuan's daily pace was terrifyingly stable.

In the morning, he practiced the "Dragon Elephant Subduing Demons Skill" and honed the White Elephant Sky-Stepping Kick, and then went to the Cauldron of Creation to suffer the destruction of Sanzang and Gongjin.

After that, I practiced the Galanshita as hard as I could, and in the afternoon I practiced the Burning Wood Sword Technique or the Prajna Zen Palm.

In his spare time, he would sneak down the mountain with Xiaolong, Xiaohu and Xiaolan to see what was going on.

……

……

In the blink of an eye, more than a month has passed.

It was a morning in early winter, and the sky was just getting light.

A figure slowly appeared in the back mountain of Shaolin Temple.

"I have been practicing for almost two months, and it should be complete now..."

Lin Xuan came to the bottom of a large rock next to the mountain. This place was about five or six feet away from the highest point of the rock.

Including an old fir tree growing on top, it is at least 18 meters high!

Lin Xuan was seen practicing the Galan posture of the Nine Diagrams and Six Seated Statues, allowing the true Qi to circulate in his body and gradually fill his limbs and bones.

After reaching a certain critical point, Lin Xuan felt something in his heart, and he leaped up, suddenly soaring into the sky like a roc spreading its wings.

After a while, he suddenly leaped onto the crown of the old fir tree!

"call!"

Lin Xuan tried his best to adjust his breathing and quickly stood firm:
"It's done, the Galan force is complete!"

"I have been practicing the Nine Diagrams and Six Seated Statue Body Method for more than half a year, and now I have finally accomplished it."

At this moment, Lin Xuan was a little excited.

After a while, he rolled over several times and landed on the ground.

Tried again.

After a hundred breaths, Lin Xuan leaned against the tree, panting, with a bright look in his eyes.

"Now, with my cultivation in the Qi Yuan Realm, I can only sustain this kind of leap nine times at most. After nine times, it will be useless and I will have to switch to the Arhat Stance..."

Nearly twenty feet at a time.

Nine times in a row, the distance was almost two hundred feet!

If he changes to the Arhat posture, the escape speed would be so fast that Lin Xuan finds it incredible.

With this skill, even if he cannot defeat a master in the Spirit Refining Realm, he can still escape from him...

Thinking of this, Lin Xuan felt in a good mood.

After resting for a while, Lin Xuan went down the mountain to attend morning classes.

……

With the arrival of early winter, the days become much shorter.

The sunlight didn't shine into the temple until the morning class was over.

Arriving at the kitchen, Lin Xuan served himself some porridge, took a few steamed buns, and a bowl of side dishes. Just after he took a few bites, he saw Xiaolong, Xiaohu, and Xiaolan coming over with bowls in their hands.

After sitting down, Xiaolong came close to Lin Xuan and whispered:
"Brother, shall we sneak down the mountain later?"

"Xiao Lan said there's a temple fair going on down the mountain, and it's quite lively..."

"temple fair?"

Lin Xuan was slightly stunned.

In the past few days, he indeed found that there were a lot more incense sticks in the temple, and there was an endless stream of people coming to worship Buddha and burn incense every day.

I never thought that it was because of the temple fair.

Thinking about my diligent practice during this period, I have finally perfected the "Nine Diagrams and Six Seated Body Methods", and it's time to relax.

He did not refuse and replied with a smile:

"Okay, let's go after we finish eating."

Seeing that his senior brother agreed, Xiaolong immediately showed a look of joy.

I didn't want to eat anymore, so I put down my bowl and chopsticks and said:

"Oh, what else are you eating? There are so many delicious foods at the temple fair. I'll treat everyone today."

"Xiaolong, we can't waste food."

"Let's go after we finish eating."

Xiaolan glared at him and said seriously.

"Ok."

Xiaolong spread his hands helplessly.

He felt less hungry, and looking at the three steamed buns in his bowl, he could only turn his head and say to Xiaohu:
"Xiao Hu, take one of these steamed buns. I can't eat three."

Hearing this, Xiaohu was not picky. He took one and started eating.

Lin Xuan doesn't know much about the temple fair here.

Thinking that Xiaolan was from Qingshi Village, I asked her.

It turns out that the temple fair at the foot of Shaolin Mountain has a long history and is held every year at the end of the year.

The maintenance period is about ten days and it is quite grand.

Many outsiders come here to do business during this period.

There are countless people who come to participate in the temple fair.

By then, there will be stalls everywhere and the long street will extend for more than three miles!

Hearing this, Lin Xuan was quite moved.

Calculating the time, I can go home again in a few days.

You can buy some things at the temple fair and take them back to honor your parents.

After a while, Lin Xuan finished eating.

Seeing that everyone was almost there, he said:
"We're done eating, let's go."

"Watch out for the master and the elders on the road."

"As usual, you go in front and I follow you."

"Okay!" The three agreed excitedly.

Then, they left the kitchen together.

The entrance to the sewer is next to the Arhat Temple.

If they wanted to get through without being noticed by others, they could not take the road to the Heavenly King Hall, but had to take a detour and choose to go in the direction of the Medicine King Hall.

……

……

only.

When they were about to pass the entrance of Medicine King Hall, they saw Xie Dong running over breathlessly, heading straight for the hall, and shouting:
"Elder Xuanfeng, something big has happened!"

"Abbot Sanzang asked you to go out and take a look!"

Hear this.

Lin Xuan and the other three paused and looked at each other.

Lin Xuan glanced at everyone and asked tentatively:
"Look at Xie Dong's panicked look. I wonder what happened in Shaolin Temple."

"How about we go over and take a look first?"

The words fell.

Xiaolan nodded:
"We have to go and take a look, otherwise the abbot will come looking for us later."

"The old man always thinks we're going to get into trouble."

"Where are you two?"

Lin Xuan's gaze fell on Xiaolong and Xiaohu again.

"Xiao Lan is right. It's not too late to go down the mountain later."

Xiaolong decided.

Neither he nor Xiaohu had any objections.

Ever since.

The four of them turned around and ran out of the mountain gate.

Before reaching the mountain gate, I could hear wailing sounds from afar, which made my heart numb.

"What happened?"

"Could it be that someone dares to commit a crime in front of the Shaolin Temple?"

Lin Xuan felt a little depressed when he heard the wailing sound.

As soon as he came out of the main hall, Lin Xuan saw several carts parked in the square outside the mountain gate.

There were many people lying on the cart, all of them were seriously injured, with blood all over their bodies, which was heartbreaking to see.

"Those people were so badly injured, they looked so pitiful..."

Xiaolan frowned, unable to bear to look at it.

Xiaolong and Xiaohu also curled their lips, their faces looking a little pale.

Obviously not used to this.

Similarly, Lin Xuan couldn't help but get goose bumps all over his body, and his heart trembled.

He was also curious about who had dealt such a heavy blow to these innocent people?

"Xiaolan, why are you here?"

now.

Abbot Sanzang was chatting with the relatives of the injured, and from time to time he looked towards the temple, wanting to see whether Elder Wen Dao had come out.

In a blink of an eye, I saw these four children.

"I heard something happened outside, so we came to take a look."

Lin Xuan and others walked down.

"Master, what's wrong with these people?"

"Who hurt you?"

Xiaolan felt very sympathetic and asked with concern.

"It's not a human, it's a monster!" one of the villagers who came with them said in horror.

"monster?"

Hearing this, Xiaolong's expression changed.

Immediately, he muttered:
"Where did these monsters come from in this world?"

Hearing this, Lin Xuan changed his mind and asked:
"What does that monster look like?"

The words fell.

The villager was still frightened and said anxiously:
"It looks like a lion, but it's not a lion because it has a human face, which makes it scary at first glance."

"There's a big ball of thorns on the tail, like a hammer."

"Some have the bodies of tigers, but their faces are like those of old women, and their tails have hooks. They are very scary!"

"It was these monsters that attacked our village last night and injured many people..."

The man had just finished speaking.

After hearing this, Tang Xiaolong shook his head and said without questioning:
"impossible!"

"How can lions and tigers have human faces, tails with thorns and hooks, and be like a ball? This is obviously not scientific!"

"Xiaohu, do you believe it?"

Chen Xiaohu was stunned and subconsciously wanted to speak, but when he saw the man's honest appearance, he didn't seem to be lying at all.

So, if it comes to my mouth, I hold it back.

Seeing this, Xiaolong could only say helplessly:

"Xiao Hu, you have to know that human faces and lion bodies are not scientific at all!"

"If you don't believe me, why don't you ask my brother?"

But at this moment Lin Xuan nodded and said:

"I quite believe it."

He remembered that in the anime, there appeared a monster with a human face and a sphinx body.

It is related to the previous Anping.

What puzzled Lin Xuan was that, since he had previously taught Lu Yan a lesson, according to the timeline, he should have changed his trajectory.

But what people didn't expect was that the monster with a human-faced sphinx was still causing trouble!

From this it can be seen that someone else took this magic card.

But why are there new monsters with tiger bodies and old woman faces?

Could it be that there is more than one magic card?
Thinking of this, Lin Xuan suddenly felt creepy.

This is a bit too scary...

"what?"

Xiaolong thought he had heard it wrong and looked at Lin Xuan in disbelief.

He quickly retorted:

"Brother, that is a human face and a lion body. Humans and animals are different species. How can they be matched together? It's unscientific!"

Xiaolong couldn't wait to look at Xiaolan again:

"Xiaolan, do you believe it too?"

In response, Xiaolan did not answer, but was just skeptical.

Looking at the expression on her face, Xiaolong knew that she would probably believe it to some extent.

At this point, he completely collapsed, covering his head and saying:

“You have to believe in science!”

"It must have been too dark last night, so they saw it wrong!"

"It's definitely not a monster with a human face and a sphinx body!"

Upon seeing this, Abbot Sanzang frowned and spoke in a more serious tone:

"Okay, Xiaolong, stop talking!"

At present, the villagers are seriously injured.

This is not a discussion about whether it is scientific or not. What matters most is saving lives!
It didn't take long.

Elder Wen Dao rushed over with a group of disciples from Yaowang Academy to provide emergency treatment.

Seeing this, Abbot Sanzang breathed a sigh of relief:
"Elder Wen Dao, thank you for your hard work. Please help everyone bandage the wound first."

"It's better to see how it was injured."

"Don't worry, Abbot Sanzang."

Elder Wen Dao nodded.

He immediately led his disciples to treat the injured.

Clean the wound, apply medicine, splint, bandage...

After more than half an hour, it was finally done.

Elder Wen Dao treated several of the most seriously injured patients alone, and the rest with less serious injuries were handed over to his disciples.

"Elder Wen Dao, can you tell what has injured the villagers?"

After it was over, Abbot Sanzang asked him in a serious voice.

"It's hard to say, Abbot Sanzang."

Elder Wen Dao had a strange look on his face.

"Hard to say?"

Abbot Sanzang frowned slightly.

Some people don't quite understand what Elder Wen Dao said.

Elder Wen Dao scratched his head, feeling helpless and depressed:
"Abbot Sanzang, some of these villagers were scratched, some were hit by heavy objects, some were bitten by ferocious beasts, and some were scratched by sharp weapons..."

"In short, it's hard to explain for the time being."

"Elder, that's a monster!"

An injured person heard this and cried out.

"Monster, what monster?"

Elder Wen Dao was puzzled and stared at the man and asked.

"A monster with a human face and a sphinx!"

"Ok?"

"Human...Sphinx? This is impossible!"

Elder Wen Dao shook his head violently, then spoke with great certainty:
"How can there be such a monster in the world?"

Elder Wen Dao is well versed in medical theory and pharmacology.

Naturally, I understand that there are differences between different races.

"Elder Wen Dao is right, this is unscientific!"

When Tang Xiaolong, who had not left yet, heard this, he suddenly felt that Elder Wen Dao was a person who sympathized with him, so he quickly expressed his opinion again.

Sure enough, there are still people who understand him...

"But how do you explain these injuries of the villagers?"

Xiaolan, who was helping to treat the wound, thought about it seriously and raised a question.

"This……"

Elder Wen Dao’s expression froze.

No matter how hard he racked his brains, he couldn't figure it out.

The only explanation is, is there really a monster with a human face and a sphinx in the world?

But this is too absurd...

Abbot Sanzang felt a little headache when he saw that they were discussing again, so he had to order:
"Okay, everyone, stop thinking too much and carry the injured in first."

"In addition, I will send some more monks to patrol the villages at the foot of the mountain to see if there are any such monsters..."

Regardless of whether there really is such a monster with a human face and a sphinx as the villagers talk about, it is a temple fair at this time.

There are many people at the foot of the mountain, including merchants, performers and shoe sellers, all kinds of people mixed together, so it is necessary to take more protective measures.
