The tour guide said: "Shaolin Temple's martial arts are extensive and profound, and there are seventy-two unique skills. It's nothing to poke a hole in a tree with your finger."

It can only be said that these young people still have little knowledge. They have seen the extremely powerful Shaolin martial arts on TV, but they all agree that it is a fabricated thing in the novel and does not need to exist at all. And even the occasional chest-breaking boulders and the like

The performance will only be regarded as a kind of juggling and has nothing to do with kung fu.

Shaolin Kung Fu is the most comprehensive sect among the Han martial arts, with more than 700 types of martial arts routines. It is also known as "Martial Arts Zen" because it incorporates Zen into martial arts and practice martial arts and Zen. According to the "Book of Wei": "There are also Western Regions

The ascetic named Batuo had a Taoist career and was deeply respected by Emperor Gaozu. He ordered a Shaolin Temple to be built in Shaoshi Mountain and he lived there. The monks provided him with clothes and offerings." In the early Tang Dynasty, thirteen monks of the Shaolin Temple helped King Li Shimin of Qin to conquer Wang Shichong and were awarded by the Tang Dynasty.

, and was specially recognized to establish a standing monk army, thus achieving the development of Shaolin martial arts.

Shaolin Temple is famous for its superb martial arts skills at home and abroad. The word "Shaolin" has become a symbol of the traditional martial arts of the Han people. For example, the "Seven Martial Arts" in Gu Long's novels are "Shaolin, Wudang, Kunlun, Emei, Diancang, Huashan, and Hainan", among which

Shaolin is the number one sect.

The essence of Shaolin Kung Fu is the integration of Zen and martial arts. Shaolin Temple is the ancestral home of Zen Buddhism. Zen Buddhism aims to understand one's mind, see one's nature, and become a Buddha. In the eyes of Buddhism, practicing Zen is the right way.

Boxing and bravery are the ultimate skills. The monks just use the practice of martial arts to achieve the purpose of concentrating the mind and calming thoughts. At the same time, they can also achieve the effects of strengthening the body and prolonging life! Shaolin Kung Fu is a comprehensive

In the martial arts system, the word "Zen" is an important basis for improving kung fu, because Zen means "not thinking about the outside and not thinking about the inside." Huineng, the sixth ancestor of Shaolin, said in the "Tan Sutra": Zen is the Sanskrit transliteration of "Jhana",

Its free translation is "abandoning evil", "thicket of merit", "thinking cultivation", "quiet consideration".

Due to thousands of years of accumulation and hard work, the martial arts and Zen in Shaolin Kung Fu have been organically combined, and the martial arts in Shaolin Kung Fu have been melted into Zen meditation. This is the difference between Shaolin Kung Fu and other martial arts schools.

The advantage of Zen and martial arts is that Shaolin Kung Fu has formed a very specific Zen meditation program that everyone can practice. The real value of promoting martial arts Zen is to provide people with an effective Zen meditation program.

"Seventy-two stunts are out?" A young man chuckled, "Are you sure you are not talking about Jin Yong's novels?"

The tour guide didn't pay attention to his exaggerated tone and still said with a smile: "OK."

"Some of those seventy-two stunts are kung fu?" the young man continued, "could it be the Great Compassion Palm and the Dead Wood Kung Fu?" He started laughing.

The tour guide shook his head and said: "No. The seventy-two stunts are Iron Arm Kung Fu, Pai Da Kung, Iron Broom Kung Fu, Thousand Jin Lift, Arhat Kung Fu, Iron Head Kung Fu, Fourth Stage Kung Fu, Iron Cloth Shirt Kung Fu...

.” I mentioned dozens of them in one breath, but I didn’t count whether there were seventy-two.

"Is this considered a stunt?"

"Why doesn't it count?" the tour guide asked, "I once witnessed a young master practicing Iron Tou Kung Fu smash several bricks into pieces with his head. This is not a novel by Jin Yong. In reality, this is already a stunt."

The young man was rendered speechless by the refutation, and he touched his nose and stopped talking.

After lingering here for a while, the group of people continued to move inside. Zhang Taiping and others came to the edge of this 1,500-year-old ginkgo tree.

The fat man looked at the holes in the tree and asked, "Is it true that these holes were poked out by hand as the tour guide said?"

Zhang Taiping nodded. In fact, it is not difficult to achieve such an achievement after practicing kung fu to a certain level. He can now easily poke holes in the tree.

"Tsk, tsk, that's really powerful. If you poke it into someone's body, it would probably be like two bloody holes." The fat man sighed, and then turned to Zhang Taiping, "Commander, can you poke holes now?"

"Can."

"Then try it quickly and let us broaden our horizons."

Zhang Taiping smiled but said nothing.

The fat man felt as if a kitten was scratching his heart. Seeing Zhang Taiping like this, he asked with some confusion: "Is there any problem?"

"These holes in the tree are already some years old, which means they were not poked in recently. Every tile and wood here is now protected. If a hole is poked in the tree and someone discovers it, they will have to be punished by a person who destroys cultural relics."

Hat." Zhang Taiping said, "When the Shaolin Temple sets up an Arhat formation to prevent people from descending the mountain, I don't have the confidence to break through." He also made a small joke at the end.

The fat man still wanted to see how powerful Zhang Taiping was, so he thought of a compromise and said, "Then we can try to find a tree in a deserted place later?"

"That's okay." Zhang Taiping nodded.

Yang Wanli said: "This ginkgo tree is an old antique. I have only heard about it from others before and have never seen it. It is indeed extraordinary. Unfortunately, this place is not a pure place now. It is too noisy. Otherwise, standing under this tree would definitely be...

It’s a different feeling.” He picked up the camera and took photos of the tree from all directions.

The fat man said with a smile: "I am starting to be poor again."

"This is elegance." Yang Wanli countered, "How can ordinary people do this?"

The fat man smiled like Maitreya Buddha: "Only ordinary people can live more freely in these three thousand mortal worlds."

As you walk further inside, you begin to enter each of the main halls.

Passing through the Heavenly King's Hall, there is the Mahavira Hall behind it. The hall enshrines the statues of Sakyamuni, Amitabha, and Medicine Buddha. A statue of Guanyin hangs behind the screen wall, and there are eighteen Arhats standing on both sides.

The incense in the store was very prosperous. In front of the Buddha statue, the faithful men and women knelt on the ground. While kneeling, they muttered something in the middle, mostly to make a wish or to fulfill a wish. When they stood up, they just put some money for incense. Some people felt that they were in their hearts.

If someone commits a sin, he does not simply kowtow and put out incense and money, but the president kneels in front of the Buddha statue and recites silently along with the monks chanting sutras next to him.

Zhang Taiping would express his feelings even if he didn't meet a Buddha statue. He would pay for incense and buy some incense, then light it and bow three times in front of his forehead without kneeling down. While burning incense, he would also recite something silently in his heart.

Fatty and Yang Wanli looked at him strangely. They did not expect Zhang Taiping to be so pious about the Buddha statue.

In fact, Zhang Taiping cannot be said to be pious, just respectful, and he is not even a believer. The reason why he behaves like this is because of the two children in Cai Yazhi's belly. When people's hearts are concerned, they often do things they think

There are many reasons. It’s not that I would rather believe that something is true than something that is not true. It’s just that when you value something too much, you will feel hopeful.

We met the group of tourists again here, and it was a great fate. The tour guide turned off the loudspeaker, which was a bit disrespectful because the sound was too loud in this pure place.

After the Main Hall, there is the Sutra Pavilion with a collection of eight million volumes. This is the place where monks store scriptures and preach. In the corridor in front of the hall, there is a large iron bell cast during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, weighing about 650 kilograms. To the southeast of the Sutra Pavilion

On the opposite side is the Zen Room, where monks meditate, and on the opposite side is the West Zen Room, where guests are received.

When they arrived at the Sutra Pavilion, the fat man no longer had any interest in going in and watching. And since everyone was not the guests that the abbot wanted to receive, they could not enter the Zen room.

The group of people headed west towards Tallinn under the guidance of a tour guide.

The tour guide introduced: "When visiting the Shaolin Temple Pagoda Forest, be sure not to take photos of the people and the Pagoda Forest together. The Shaolin Temple Pagoda Forest is the tomb of the Shaolin Temple monks of all generations."

Zhang Taiping and others did not follow to the Tallinn, but walked towards the top of Houshan Mountain. From the north of Wuru Peak, go down the mountain road to reach the Shaolin Temple Wu Monk Hall. Here, there are lush trees, surrounded by mountains, connected peaks, and the air

Fresh and fresh, it is a place where Shaolin monks practice Zen and martial arts.

When passing through the woods not far from the Monk Monastery, several people suddenly stopped because crackling sounds continued to come from the woods.

The fat man said with bright eyes: "Go over and take a look and see what's going on inside." However, his expression looked a little vulgar.

Zhang Taiping's love for being immersed in space has already reflected the scene in the woods in his mind. Naturally, he knew what the situation was like. He gave the fat man a funny look and said, "Then let's go and have a look."

The fat man took two steps and suddenly stopped, and said with a look of embarrassment: "Little Ling'er, there's no need to go over there, just wait here for a while." Only then did he remember that there was a child here, lest it was exactly what he thought.

I imagined seeing something that would stain a child's eyes.

Zhang Taiping shook his head: "It's okay, let's go there together."
