Journey to the West: The Rise of Martial Arts

Chapter 28 Practicing Fingering
Coming out of Chang'an, the three of Xuanzang headed west along the Hexi Ancient Road non-stop.They didn't stop in the few small towns they passed. If it wasn't for the heavy rain last night that stopped the three of them in this ruined temple, they might still be running around at this moment.

The sound of the rain kept falling. Judging by the situation, the rain might not stop for several hours.

The gate of the temple is decayed, and even the bluestone on the ground is mottled and cracked, obviously it has been abandoned for many years.

The crooked shrines and Buddha statues in the temple have been neatly arranged by Ren Qinglian and the others. Xuanzang sits in the largest open space and recites scriptures. Zhongjie Nunnery seems to be listening to the teachings. Ask Xuanzang for advice on the most important principles of Buddhism.

After converting to Shaolin Temple, Zhongjie Temple has two major hobbies, one is to study the Kung Fu of Bodhidharma, or the other is to study the classics of Zen Buddhism. This time, he volunteered to be Xuanzang's entourage. The mage should comprehend some of the most important principles of Buddhism and Zen, and be able to truly observe the mind and ask questions!
Compared with Ren Qinglian's silence along the way, Zhongjie'an always finds an opportunity to discuss a few Buddhist scriptures with Xuanzang, and she also plays the role of entourage very penetratingly.When the sky was getting brighter, he went out to prepare a meal for Xuanzang.

Naturally, Ren Qinglian didn't have much interest in studying Zen and discussing scriptures with Xuanzang. He followed Xuanzang just to better integrate into this world and meet more opportunities.

Journey to the west is full of difficulties and dangers. For a person with no background like him, only real strength is his life-saving reliance.In addition to continuing to practice the nameless mental method, he has been studying Murong Xuan's "Shameless Heaven Finger".

The most famous fingering methods in the Jianghu are Shaolin Temple's one-finger meditation skills and Vajra Finger, both of which focus on external strength.

For example, if you are practicing One-Finger Zen Kungfu, you can put seven eggs on the ground in a string, end to end, and poke with one finger. If you hit the first egg, the other six eggs should also shatter. Praising it as a unique skill, in fact, it's just in the same vein as Iron Sand Palm smashing green bricks!Although the Vajra Finger Kung Fu can break the golden bell jar, iron cloth shirt and other defensive kung fu, but the principle is similar to it.

However, if you encounter an opponent with high internal strength, you can turn your muscles into voids and use your strength to fight, no matter how strong your finger skills are, it will be useless.However, this Wuxiang Tiangang finger is different, it is a fingering method that is more inclined to the inner strength.

It can condense the internal energy of a person's whole body on the fingers for a short time, and it is invisible like a ghost, but it exerts energy in an orderly manner according to the direction of the sky, and as the internal energy in the body continues to condense into nail-sized nails The powerful shuttle can be like an invisible hidden weapon, preventing people from coming from east to west and from west to east.

Moreover, as long as the inner strength is strong enough, this invisible finger strength can not only be gathered into a shuttle, but also can be gathered into an invisible long sword.

For Ren Qinglian, not to mention that this fingering itself is an extremely good martial art technique, even this way of using inner energy can be regarded as opening a new door for him.

He even flashed through his mind the "Six Meridians Excalibur" he had seen in the novels of his previous life, and thought carefully, if he could combine the Taixu Butian Sword Technique with this fingering technique, wouldn't it be a similar martial skill.

What's more, Jiuyou Xuantong's practice has made him gather a strange poison that is rare in the world. Using this method of internal energy to use this poisonous energy in accordance with the hidden weapon techniques in the Poison Sutra, it will be another A powerful trick.

When Ren Qinglian broke through to the first-class level of martial arts, she had already connected the bridge of heaven and earth, penetrated through the two qi of spleen and kidney, and practiced this kung fu very quickly, but she was busy all the way, and never tried its power.

At this time, seeing Xuanzang reciting scriptures to himself in the distance, he raised his hand confidently and struck out with a finger.

With excellent eyesight, he clearly found a tiny hole in the far wall, grinned slightly, and was about to continue fingering, when he heard Zhong Jie'an uttered from a distance: "Oh!"

Then, I saw the great monk, half of his robe soaked in yellow mud, push the door and enter with a dark face.

"Young Master Ren, are you deliberately teasing the Sa family!?"

But Ren Qinglian's finger passed through the wall, her strength was concentrated and unremitting, and she almost hit Zhongjie'an who had just returned from Huazhai.

At this time the heavy rain had just stopped, but the mountain road was muddy, Zhong Jiean should not have been in such a mess with his skill, but he was careless for a moment, slipped his foot while avoiding finger force, making him in a mess.

Xuanzang stood up from the couch, and glanced at Ren Qinglian, but he couldn't see anything with his naked eyes after all, he just persuaded: "I think it was an unintentional act by Layman Ren, master, you have worked hard." He took out one of his monk robes and handed it to Zhongjie Temple.

"Master's words are serious, this is what Zhong should do." After Zhong Jie'an finished speaking, he took the monk's robe and gave Ren Qinglian another look.

Ren Qinglian did it unintentionally. This great monk is very skillful, he walks almost silently, and he doesn't know that someone is approaching outside.

However, he also knew where Zhongjie'an's resentment came from. During the journey, the great monk was responsible for carrying the load and leading the horses, and he was indeed not conscientious enough as a follower.

Immediately laughed and said: "Master, don't blame, the boy just finished that fingering technique, and he got carried away for a while, I hope you will forgive me!"

Having said that, he was thinking in his heart, if Xuanzang recruited those disciples with supernatural powers in the future, would he also be reduced to the role of leading the horse? When he thought of this, he felt that he was the best It's better not to let this Zhongjie'an die.

Zhong Jie'an's temper has improved a lot in these years, and his skills are not as good as others. After getting annoyed, seeing Ren Qinglian take the initiative to show her kindness, she hummed: "Although you have good understanding, it's a pity that you can't get too much. If you haven't fully comprehended your swordsmanship, and you are busy practicing other people's fingering techniques, if you continue to practice like this, you will still be practicing other people's kung fu, but not your own!"

Ren Qinglian didn't take it seriously: "Having more means means more chances of winning. What's more, if you understand by analogy, you might be able to comprehend more advanced martial arts by combining these skills."

"Differences do not conspire with each other!" Zhong Jie'an was extremely disdainful, he had practiced palm techniques all his life, and there were countless subtle tricks in Bodhidharma's palm techniques, and he only used them to prove his own martial arts.

Ren Qinglian smiled, and was not angry. She divided the food and ate on her own.It's not wrong to say that he was idle along the way, at least, when it comes to food, this Mr. Ren is extremely particular, and he does all the washing and washing by himself.
