The Legend of Shushan Xuanjian

Chapter 384 The Mystery of the Hanging Coffin
……

Suddenly frightened at the end of Wu Gorge, there was a piercing in the belly of the rock.

Looking up at the sky, the stone chamber faces south.

In the ancient temple of Xuanni, the draperies are made of bushes.

The iron pole spans the air, and it doesn't count if you look down on it.

Whoever built the ancients, there will be unexpected waves.

Shi Dou sees the sky, and the tile coffin mourns the ancient burial.

——Excerpt from "Out of the Gorge" by Su Shi

……

After Bai Fu boarded the ship from Baidi City, he has been reticent.The disciples of the Dajiang gang only know that Bai Fu has a noble status, but they don't know that Bai Fu's martial arts are so high.

After Bai Fu boarded the boat, he changed his clothes.Taking advantage of Bai Fu's break, seeing that Bai Fu was about the same age and approachable, several disciples from the Dajiang Gang boldly stepped forward to ask for advice.

The few disciples of the Dajiang Gang are simple and unpretentious, and they take good care of Bai Fu along the way. Bai Fu feels good about him and takes the opportunity to reciprocate.These disciples of the Dajiang Gang used to be the children of ordinary fishermen on both sides of the Three Gorges. They were good at handling boats, but their skills were very weak.Only some superficial fist and kick skills.

Bai Fu asked these disciples to stand apart and give some pointers.

"I once lived in Shaolin Temple for a few days, and I was fortunate to receive guidance from several eminent monks. Shaolin Boxing emphasizes standing like a pine, sitting like a bell, and walking like the wind.

Standing like a pine is rooting under your feet.Unload the weight of the body, let it out from the soles of the feet, and nail it to the ground.Stand like pines, cypresses and emerald bamboos, three feet into the ground.The wind enters the pine forest, and the green pine welcomes guests.Someone is attacking you with fists and kicks, and only when your feet take root can you block the horizontal frame.

On weekdays, stand on the pile, first stand with your arms down, then hold the ball to form a mixed circle, and then lean out of the three bodies, hold the baby and the tiger, and stand alone...

Practice hard every day, and as time goes by, kung fu will grow by itself.

Sit like a bell.What is a clock?The sternum and ribs are narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, which is bell-shaped.The spine is the pendulum, and the caudal vertebra is the pendulum head.

The practice of kung fu pays attention to shaking the clock, the pendulum drives the clock, the spine moves with the sternum and ribs, the five internal organs shake from hanging, rub each other, and the qi and blood flow.Our Taoist school calls this Shake Meridian.

The bell-shaking kung fu is also called the golden bell cover. When practiced to the extreme, when facing the enemy in battle, the mind can turn freely, and the muscles can feel it immediately.
This is the real golden bell jar.It's not a street performer, with shirtless arms, and people hacking with steel knives and iron bars. "

Several disciples of the Dajiang Gang listened to the fun and laughed, only then did they understand the way of the insider.

Bai Fu continued: "Walking is like the wind. This wind is not a violent storm, nor is it a slanting wind and drizzle, but a whirlwind. The character of rotation is on the five toes. When the toes are twisted, the strength will rotate inward, and the straightness will have horizontal strength. It is fast and steady. Like the wind, it penetrates through every hole."

Bai Fu asked a disciple of the Dajiang gang to stretch out his foot and let his toes turn up as much as possible.At this time, a diagonal tendon can be felt in the sole of the foot.

Bai Fu said: "This tendon is a wooden elephant. Walking like the wind is the wind shaking a tree. When the foot is on the ground and the five toes grasp the ground, this tendon moves. Shaolin boxing requires that there be a thread under the foot. If there is no movement, no skill will be achieved.

The pace of our Qingcheng is the same.The Taoist step is called Yu step, and the emphasis is on stretching one foot and stretching the other, two silks stretched to make one silk.The steps are practiced to the level of perfection, walking on flat ground, as if flying over a cliff. "

What Bai Fu said was quite mysterious, several disciples were overjoyed and scratched their heads, asking Bai Fu for further guidance.

Bai Fu shook his head and said, "You can still improve your boxing kungfu by practicing day and night. But it's too late for you to practice light kung fu.

The best lightness, before the child learns to walk, is stretched by the master breaking the hip bones and stretching the spine. The purpose is to prevent the hip and sacrum from dying. The tendons will grow thicker to enhance joint stability.

Taoist disciple Tong Zigong has two or three years of foundation, even after ten years of hard work after growing up, he can't do it.

The Tang army has a total of millions of soldiers, but there are not many real martial arts masters.Because most of the soldiers recruited in the Tang Dynasty were recruited from the children of peasant families. At this time, the soldiers were already adults and could not learn high-level martial arts. "

After Bai Fu finished speaking, the disciples of the Dajiang Gang sighed and envied Bai Fu for growing up in a famous sect.

Bai Fu recalled that when he was young, he practiced martial arts in Qingcheng, he was so ambitious, and envied Shaolin and other Central Plains martial arts.Thinking about it now, I was really young and ignorant, and I wasted a lot of time.

Thinking back to the time when the master taught Kung Fu one move at a time, he took the trouble and gave repeated instructions.This situation, as if it was yesterday.

I always thought that there is time for everything, but I didn't expect life to be impermanent.The past is like smoke, passing away with the wind, Bai Fu let out a long sigh, dejected...

……

A disciple named Ruan Zhouxing, the leader of the Dajiang Gang, bowed to Bai Fu and said, "Bai Shaoxia, you come from the sect of the Celestial Master of Daoling in Qingcheng. Qutang Gorge has been haunted by demons recently. Please also ask Bai Shaoxia to lead us to subdue demons!"

Bai Fu couldn't help laughing, and said: "I only know martial arts, I have never learned such skills as transforming talismans and catching demons."

Ruan Zhouxing said with bright eyes: "Your martial arts are world-class, and you will definitely help us get rid of this monster!"

The rest of the disciples of the Dajiang Gang said in unison: "Please also invite Shaoxia Bai to lead us to defeat demons!"

Bai Fu said helplessly: "Okay, tell me, I'll see if I can do something."

Ruan Zhouxing was overjoyed and said, "Thank you, Young Master Bai, for your help, this matter is related to the ancient legend of the Three Gorges.

There are tens of thousands of stone walls in the Three Gorges, where birds and monkeys can't reach, there are countless caves, hanging coffins, coffins, big or small, countless.According to word of mouth of the people in the Three Gorges, these coffins have existed for thousands of years.We call it the fairy coffin, also known as the hanging coffin.The hanging coffin cave is called "immortal hall", and the hanging coffin is buried as "the tomb of earth immortals".These coffins include single coffins, group coffins, some like wooden boats, and some like bellows.

It is said that the high cliffs of the Three Gorges are the closest to the Nine Heavens Wonderland. I don’t know from which generation, the descendants put the bones of their ancestors into the boat-shaped coffin and buried them on the unattainable cliffs, just like entering the fairyland surrounded by clouds and mist. Without interference, you can pay homage to your ancestors, redeem their souls, and help them ascend to immortality.

The children of the descendants of the Three Gorges wrote poems to commemorate their ancestors: "Since ancient times, it has been passed down to the coffin rock, the singing of birds and apes is touching, the snow is blowing, the grass and trees are wearing mourning, the wind is blowing the pines and fir trees to mourn, the spring is full of flowers, and the moon is shining on the altar at night. ? The coffin was buried in seven caves."

The mainstream of the Three Gorges starts from Qutang Gorge in Kuizhou and ends at the mouth of Xiling Gorge. Over the millennium, more than ten famous hanging coffin spots have been discovered:

Chijiashan's "Soldier Book Box"; the Fenbi Hall among the steep rocks on the south bank of Kuimen; the golden cave on the cliff on the south bank of Qutang Gorge; the Fengxiang Gorge at the rock crack of Chijia Mountain on the north bank of Qutang Gorge; Armor Cave; Iron Coffin Gorge on the cliffs on the south bank of Xiling Gorge; Bingshu Baojian Gorge on the north bank of Xiling Gorge in Zigui.

For hundreds of years, there has been a nursery rhyme circulating here: "The Three Gorges is a treacherous river beach, coffins are hung on cliffs, and there are millions of gold and silver, and it is rare to risk one's life!"

Among them, Chijiashan's military book box and Xiling Gorge's military book and sword gorge are the most legendary: it is said that when Zhuge Kongming marched to Shu, he passed the Three Gorges and hid two iron scrolls of military books and a sword written by himself by the riverside. On the climbing cliff, let future generations have courageous warriors to take it.

Because the hanging coffins are all placed on the cliffs, it is difficult for apes to climb. No one knows whether there are gold, silver, treasures, swords and military books in the coffins.

Recently, a strange thing happened. Every night, the place where the hanging coffin on the cliff is full of will-o’-the-wisps and ghostly shadows. Listening to it late at night, there are vaguely ghostly words floating in the air.

Looking at these hanging coffins during the day, many coffins were opened, the lids of the coffins were in a mess, and they were even thrown into the river and floated to the mudflats downstream.

The old people were all terrified, saying that the Qingcheng Mountain Ghost Precept Monument was destroyed, and the demons among the ghosts appeared to make trouble in the world.The resurrection of the zombies in the hanging coffins that failed to ascend caused disasters for the world, and catastrophe is imminent in the Three Gorges area. "

Bai Fu was puzzled and asked: "Why don't you suspect that someone has robbed the tomb? Didn't you just say that there might be gold and silver treasures buried in the coffin?

If you imitate the herb collectors in the deep mountains and hang a rope from the top of the mountain, wouldn't you be able to enter the caves in the rocks and steal the coffins? "

Ruan Zhouxing said: "Young man, you will know when you get to the rock wall. These hanging coffins are all placed on the thousand-ren cliff. There is not a single big rock. How can you hang down?"

"Ah?!" Bai Fu was taken aback for a moment before he realized that this matter was strange and tricky.
