Jiu Mozhi continued, "Not only the Prajna Palm, but I also remember the essence of the King Kong Fist and the Maha Finger." Then he recited a paragraph of Sanskrit and recited a paragraph of the Martial Scriptures.
The monks thought that although he was not exactly correct, he was basically correct. It was the essence recorded in the three ancient books.
Even Xuan Cheng was stunned. The Sanskrit he recited earlier could be explained as a mutual exchange between the two brothers, but he had never mentioned the rest to Song Qingshu. Jiu Mozhi could recite the Sanskrit version so fluently, so it was impossible for him to have prepared it beforehand.
"Could it be that these martial arts really came from India?"
A thought suddenly emerged in the hearts of many of the monks present. Even Xuan Cheng's faith was shaken. However, he quickly sobered up. This foreign monk must have used some trick. Unfortunately, he couldn't figure out the trick no matter how hard he thought.
"Amitabha!" Xuan Ci chanted the name of Buddha and said, "Wisdom King actually has a photographic memory. Just now, I silently flipped through the books and you actually memorized the three martial arts manuals. At the same time, you are also proficient in Sanskrit. You first translated the scriptures into Sanskrit and then recited them in Chinese.
Hearing Xuan Ci's words, all the monks realized that something was wrong. They all scolded Jiu Mozhi for being shameless.
Since his trick was seen through, Jiu Mozhi became angry out of shame. Instead of explaining, he said directly, "If you want to twist words and force logic, I can't do anything about it. But I have a simple way to distinguish whether the so-called 72 Ultimate Skills of Shaolin Temple were created by Shaolin Temple or spread to the Central Plains through Tubo."
All the monks were shocked. Xuan Ci couldn't help but frown and said, "Wisdom King, what is it?"
"When these ultimate skills were spread from Tubo to Shaolin, the monks of the Tantric Buddhism Sect deliberately left a way out to prevent a situation like this." Hearing Jiu Mozhi's words, all the people in the hall started to discuss. Seeing that he had successfully attracted everyone's attention, he said, "When these ultimate skills were spread from India to Tubo, they came with very detailed notes on the essentials of cultivation. But those that were spread from Tubo to the Central Plains didn't have these notes. Therefore, people in the Central Plains couldn't practice the same ultimate skills to the highest level."
Kong Wen, one of the Four Divine Monks of Shaolin, sneered.
There is no need for the King to deliberately mystify us. These supreme skills were created by the previous generation of eminent monks of our temple. The previous eminent monks believed that cultivation is a process of cultivating the mind. Everyone's cultivation is a great opportunity to improve the Dharma. Therefore, they deliberately did not leave behind any shortcut or anything like that. They were worried that the younger generation would lose the big picture because of small gains. "
Zhang SanFeng secretly nodded his head as he listened. For thousands of years, Shaolin Temple had indeed produced no lack of outstanding talents. To think that they could be so wise and farsighted as to leave behind such an unwritten rule.
Song Qingshu smiled bitterly. 'Jiu Mozhi is showing off again …'
Just as he had expected, Jiu Mozhi answered calmly, "You may sound high-sounding, but the 72 Ultimate Arts of Shaolin Temple have been changed several times, and many secrets and secrets have been lost. This is an indisputable fact."
All the monks of Shaolin Temple were furious. Xuan Cheng's figure flashed, but he did not move in the end. After being defeated by Zhang SanFeng last time, he had become much more cautious. He decided to wait and see the depth of his opponent's abilities.
On the other side, Xuan Sheng could not hold himself back. He stepped forward and asked, "Da Lun Ming Wang, you said that the 72 Ultimate Arts of Shaolin Temple are all Indian martial arts. They were passed down to our temple from Tubo. You also said that our temple lacks the essence of the various supreme arts, which makes it difficult for us to cultivate them to the highest level. It is very easy to determine whether this is true or false. As long as the people of Shaolin Temple ask you for guidance on a few of these supreme arts, the moves that the people of our temple use will definitely not be outside of these supreme arts. When the Great Master gives guidance, please limit yourself to these few martial arts. Naturally, you will be able to distinguish whether you are boasting or not. " “
Jiu Mozhi smiled slightly, "May I ask what the supreme arts are, Great Master?"
"It seems that Wisdom King has chosen me as his opponent." Xuan Sheng was also one of the top experts in the Xuan generation, so he was not afraid at this moment. "I am not talented, and I only have a basic understanding of three supreme arts. They are the Prajna Palm, Maha Finger, and Great King Kong Fist that you have just mentioned. If you are only an armchair strategist and do not really know these supreme arts, then there is no harm. Although most of the monks of our temple only know five or six supreme arts, but if you combine them together, we can find a suitable monk to practice the 72 Ultimate Arts. Wisdom King does not need to worry that if you say a few of the unpopular supreme arts, we will not have anyone to fight you."
Although Xuan Sheng appeared to be polite, everyone present could hear the hidden meaning in his words. He was using words to push Jiu Mozhi, cutting off all opportunities for him to quibble. After all …
Jiu Mozhi's previous speech was very logical. If it was spread to the Jianghu, it could cause many people to doubt the 72 Ultimate Arts of Shaolin. However, once Jiu Mozhi said that he could not compete with the monks of Shaolin, the people of Jianghu would naturally not believe what he said.
Song Qingshu secretly sighed. This Xuan Sheng was indeed talented, but unfortunately, he did not know that Jiu Mozhi had never thought of retreating. The only person who knew about Jiu Mozhi's strength, Fang Zheng, was seriously injured when he fought with Ren Woxing. Not long ago, he returned to the temple to treat his injuries, so no one reminded the monks of Shaolin. As for Song Qingshu, he was just watching the show. He could not wait for the Shaolin Temple to be defeated, so naturally, he would not say anything.
As expected, Jiu Mozhi answered calmly, "Great Master, do you know why it is difficult for the monks of your temple to master more than one Ultimate Arts at the same time? At most, they can master thirteen Ultimate Arts at the same time, and that is already the number one in hundreds of years?"
Xuan Sheng was dazed for a second, then answered subconsciously, "In the 72 Ultimate Arts of Shaolin, some specialize in the lower body, some specialize in Lightness Skill, some specialize in fists and palms, and some use hidden weapons, such as knives or sticks. Each Ultimate Art has its own specialty. Those who use swords cannot use Buddhist staffs, and those who use Vigorous Divine Fists cannot use hidden weapons. Even though some people master five or six Ultimate Arts at the same time, they do not conflict with each other. Therefore, it is not surprising that even the monks of the temple only know a few Ultimate Arts. "
In fact, Xuan Sheng did not say something else. Among the 72 Ultimate Arts of Shaolin, there were thirteen or fourteen that were extremely difficult to master. Even the most talented people might not be able to master one Ultimate Art even if they practiced it their whole life. However, Jiu Mozhi had just said that the Shaolin Temple lacked the key Ultimate Arts, so Xuan Sheng would not say it out loud.
Jiu Mozhi laughed, "Great Master, why do you need to lie to yourself? Your so-called 72 Ultimate Arts are incomplete, so naturally, no one can master all of them."
Kong Wen immediately caught the loophole in his words and said coldly, "From what Wisdom King said, could it be that you have mastered the 72 Ultimate Arts at the same time?"
"Of course," Jiu Mozhi said proudly.
As soon as he said this, not only did the monks of Shaolin Temple change their expressions, even Zhang Sanfeng was shocked. This boast was a little too exaggerated.
