I practice martial arts by adding skill points in modern city-Chapter 73: 【067】Marrow Cleansing Scripture

According to decades of intelligence from the Martial Arts Association, Master Yan Jie had only one Buddha statue, inside which was hidden the Marrow Cleansing Scripture.

However, no one could have imagined that back then, Master Yan Jie hid two Buddha statues in the temple at Jiuchai Village, both containing an Inner Power, the Childlike Skill and Marrow Cleansing Scripture from the four Shaolin miracles.

The large monk devoutly opened the Marrow Cleansing Scripture hidden within the Buddha statue for decades and began to read it attentively.

Wang Longhu, on the other hand, sat beside him reading the training method of the Childlike Skill, completely unconcerned about what outrageous actions the monk might take regarding the Marrow Cleansing Scripture.

Firstly, after spending some time with the monk, Wang Longhu trusted his character.

Secondly, joking aside, both the monk and Hong Wentai combined couldn’t pose a threat to Wang Longhu. Even if they tried to escape with the Marrow Cleansing Scripture, it would be a futile effort in front of Wang Longhu with Lightweight Skill Lv3.

It just so happened that the monk proposed sharing the Marrow Cleansing Scripture among the three, so let him review it first.

Carefully savoring the training method of the Childlike Skill, Wang Longhu deeply felt the fundamental differences between the Childlike Skill and Xingyi Boxing, and other boxing styles, including the Three Body Posture of Pile Skills.

Childlike Skill mainly strengthens the internal and external, hidden but not exposed. Once mastered, a Martial Artist can ’gracefully move like a cat, shake like a tiger, walk like a dragon, act swiftly, sound like thunder.’ It’s not just an Inner Power; it encompasses external power, internal power, and soft power in three Chapters.

External power focuses on basic skills, including horse stance, chair stance, and T-stance, while also practicing movements like seeing, listening, grabbing, pulling, pushing, lifting, and kicking, and pursues the eight essentials of body technique: rise, fall, advance, retreat, reverse, sideways, receive, and extend.

Famous actions include Arhat Sleeping, Child Worships Guanyin, Child Worships Buddha, Sky Kicks, Middle Hidden Flower, Swallow Balance, and so on.

To enter into internal power, those training in Childlike Skill must feel the ’Qi within the body,’ similar to Wang Longhu refining essence into Qi through the Three Body Posture of Xingyi Boxing.

As the saying goes in the proverb of this Cultivation Technique: ’Punch with full strength, strength comes from Qi, Qi movement is precious in slowing, using Qi is precious in haste, the art lies in slow and fast, all within a breath.’

The essence of refining internal power in Childlike Skill lies in the ’dynamic Qi movement, static Qi movement, breathing Qi movement,’ using special breathing methods to enter the realm of refining essence into Qi, unlike Pile Skills, it holds a similar brilliance to Xingyi Boxing.

But what makes it a miracle skill is the fact that the internal power of Childlike Skill has a unique aspect unmatched by the Three Body Posture.

The breathing method of Childlike Skill can concentrate and gather a man’s kidney Qi, primal Qi, essence Qi, and blood Qi, ultimately refining it into a man’s innate primal yang over time.

Having primal yang makes a man’s physical state resemble the development period of adolescence, with bone growth, metabolism, and brain development becoming extremely active.

This is the wonder of Childlike Skill.

And the longer a Martial Artist can maintain primal yang while training in Childlike Skill, the more impactful the physical feedback will be, which is why many elderly abbots of the Shaolin Temple were considered to have strong and remarkable martial skills.

After reaching their forties or fifties, a Martial Artist’s body begins to decline, no matter how well-maintained, due to the reduction in cell vitality, resulting in decreased strength and constitution.

Yet Childlike Skill is stronger with practice. By age seventy or eighty, an old abbot might remove his kasaya, revealing eight-pack abs, broad shoulders, a slim waist, and large chest muscles beneath his monk attire, even stronger than young lads.

If Wang Longhu intends to practice Childlike Skill, he must refrain from engaging with women for a long period, or else all his efforts would be in vain.

"Interesting." Having observed the breathing method of Childlike Skill, Wang Longhu nodded in admiration.

His constitution was stuck at 2.0 without improvement; Wang Longhu had reason to conclude that 2.0 is the human body’s ultimate limit.

If someone could break this limit, from a certain perspective, this person might not be considered human, but rather a new kind of human.

Being only 25 this year, equipped with an attribute panel, Wang Longhu naturally aspires to break this limit and see how far he can grow.

Perhaps when he develops his constitution to 100.0, he might be able to leap to the moon?

And Childlike Skill might be the key to opening the door to the human body’s limits.

Compared to breaking the body’s limits, mere feminine charm indeed holds little allure.

"Marvelous, truly marvelous!"

Suddenly, a cry of excitement from the normally quiet room made Wang Longhu lift his head curiously. freёnovelkiss-com

Even Hong Wentai, who was browsing Douyin, raised his head with a puzzled expression, asking, "What on earth? Did the Marrow Cleansing Scripture strike your G-spot?"

"As I heard then, the Buddha told Subhuti, after the Bone Transformation is complete, this can be done, named Silent Night Bell, undisturbed by worldly matters, rush through the day, busy with clothing and food, after three meals, relax earth, water, and fire. At dusk, seeing the ’star’, lighting a lamp in the darkroom. After evening’s lessons, rest near the bedding. Everyone snores, forgetting life and death. Masters awaken alone, practicing silently in the dark night. Reflecting on the present evening, another day has passed. Impermanence approaches quickly, sharing fate with the fish in little water. How then to save, when will fortune and wisdom suffice, four obligations yet unfulfilled, four conditions yet unbroken, four wisdoms yet to emerge, three lives yet unaligned. Silently observing the law world, four lives three possessions prepared, six roots six matters connected, five aggregates together with three paths, heavenly beings and asuras. Six paths differ in goal, two truths yet unmerged, six virtues yet unfurnished. Seeing sight isn’t seeing, ignorance yet unceased. Path eyes not bright, eyebrows not touching ground. How to know sight separated, attaining Nirvana intention. If able to see not seeing, sight not catching, snail horns accommodating vast world, burnt eyes accepting Mustard Seed, dim drunken dreams, time both lost, drift in life and death, sea of bitterness no boundary, Buddha’s great compassion, narrated this as ’Marrow Cleansing’."

The monk proudly recited the ancient, refined text, confusing Wang Longhu and Hong Wentai.

"Marrow Cleansing Scripture uses breathing to refine essence into Qi, using essence Qi to cleanse impurities within the body, deep into the bone marrow. If one can perfectly cleanse the Grand Circulation from head to toe, they can be celestial beings, bone color like jade, bone marrow like mercury, Qi and blood like tide, breaking life and death." The monk, with an excited expression and rare red cheeks, was utterly thrilled.

Knowing the monk for so long, this was the first time Wang Longhu saw him lose composure, like a high school student getting a 4080ti.

"Is it that amazing?" Hong Wentai voiced skepticism.

"Do you know how long Dharma lived, Master Hong?" the monk asked excitedly.

Hong Wentai put down his phone, "How long?"

"Passed away during the second year of Emperor Wu of Liang, aged 150... The Marrow Cleansing Scripture perhaps truly can break human limits and significantly increase a Martial Artist’s longevity!"

The monk directly handed the Marrow Cleansing Scripture to Hong Wentai, saying, "The Marrow Cleansing Scripture is divided into ’Primordial Bell Qi, Four Great Falseness, Mundane and Saint Unity, Object and Self Consistent, Movement and Quiescence, Marrow Cleansing Restoration’ six Chapters. I’m going to practice the first Chapter now; you can continue reading, and I’ll come back to relay after some minor mastery."

The monk excitedly ran to the adjacent martial arts room arranged by Wang Longhu, clearly very delighted.

"150 years old? Is it that marvelous?" Hong Wentai opened the Marrow Cleansing Scripture in his hands, soon fully absorbed into it—sometimes frowning and scratching his face, sometimes his lips curling, sometimes clicking his tongue, sometimes suddenly enlightened.

Sitting beside them and observing their transformations, Wang Longhu was increasingly in awe of Dharma.

What kind of martial arts genius could create such miraculous skills as Childlike Skill and Marrow Cleansing Scripture?

The effects of these two inner powers were so magical; then, what could be said of the Golden Bell Shield and Bone Transformation Scripture, also part of the four Shaolin miracles?

A good martial arts atmosphere greatly aids a Martial Artist. Seeing both the monk and Hong Wentai immersed in the Marrow Cleansing Scripture, Wang Longhu began attempting the breathing method of Childlike Skill.

For a moment, the room was silent, only the sound of wind and rain coming from outside.

Typhoon Shanhu has completely landed.
