1616 [Twenty-four stunts of Shaolin]
All five hundred monks in Shaolin Temple surrendered under the leadership of Abbot Juechan.
Xiang Nan detained them separately and asked for Shaolin's best martial arts secrets.
After interrogation, Xiang Nan learned that in this world, there were not as many stunts in Shaolin Temple as there were 72 in Jin Yong's novels, but only 24 in total.
Among them, six palm techniques, five leg techniques, four boxing techniques, three stick techniques, two sword techniques, one sword technique, one spear technique, one light skill, and one internal skill are all at the level of unique skills.
His own unique inner strength and operation method.
Unlike Arhat Fist, Fuhu Fist, White Eyebrow Cudgel, etc., they are just pure moves and cannot be regarded as unique skills.
What Xiang Nan is most interested in is the internal skill called Golden Bell Shield, and the light skill of crossing the river with a reed. As for palm skills, kick skills, boxing skills, etc., they are actually not too important to him.
After all, his Tai Chi is considered a unique skill, and it is no worse than the boxing and palm techniques of the Shaolin Temple. If he learns the boxing, leg and palm techniques of the Shaolin Temple, it can only be used as a reference, and it is far from achieving the purpose of improving his strength.
.
Just like Jiumozhi in "Dragon Babu", his own flame sword is already a unique skill. Learning the seventy-two unique skills of Shaolin Temple has not improved his martial arts to a higher level.
The Golden Bell Cover Internal Kung Fu is an advanced version of the external Kung Fu such as Pot Lifting Kung Fu, Iron Sand Palm, and Iron Tou Kung Fu that Xiang Nan had previously practiced. It can not only strengthen the body and enhance the ability to resist blows, but also strengthen the internal organs from the inside out.
Make body function healthier and maintain optimal condition.
Just like the first Awakening in front of the Bodhidharma Hall, he did not retire until he was eighty years old. Before that, his body was very strong and he could carry hundreds of kilograms of large stone mills. Therefore, this skill is very important to Xiang Nan
, which is naturally excellent.
As for the Qing Kung Fu of crossing a river with a reed, it is of course impossible to cross a river with a reed after mastering it, but it can also make a person as light as a swallow. One can fly up a wall of three or four meters high with just one jump. After mastering it,
It is undoubtedly excellent.
As for the swordsmanship, Taoist skills, stick skills, and spear skills, they are also pretty good. Especially the swordsmanship, which provided him with a lot of inspiration to create the Tai Chi sword, and it is considered to be worth the money.
…
Xiang Nan then presented the internal strength he had summarized, named "Yi Jin Jing", to Emperor Jiajing.
This "Yi Jin Jing" is compiled based on Patriarch Chen Tuan's "Fei Xijue", Qiu Chuji's "Da Dan Zhi Zhi Sheng Inner Canon", Bai Yu Chan's "Jin Hua Chong Bi Dan Sutra Secret Purpose", etc.
Coupled with Indian yoga, Chinese medicine's Ba Duan Jin, Wu Qin Xi, and other miscellaneous things are put together. Xiang Nan dare not say more about other effects. Anyway, as long as Jiajing is willing to practice, it will definitely have the effect of prolonging life.
However, he knows that practicing martial arts is a very boring thing, and Jiajing has lived a good life since he was a child, and he has not been able to live a hard life. Just like Tai Chi, he originally learned it happily, but after learning it for a short time, he forgot about it.
.
For him, this kind of radio gymnastics-like boxing is too tiring to fight, let alone the "Yi Jin Jing".
He just wants to be fresh for two days, and when the freshness wears off, he will throw it aside.
If he wanted to live forever and prolong his life, Emperor Jiajing still wanted to take a shortcut, so he recruited a group of alchemists to burn elixirs and refine mercury to ward off disasters and pray for blessings.
Just like modern people losing weight, they can't control their mouths and can't move their legs, so they hope that they can easily lose weight by taking a few weight loss pills. That is of course impossible.
Xiang Nan also knew that burning elixirs to refine mercury and praying for blessings to ward off disasters was of no use at all.
Burning elixirs and refining mercury will produce heavy metals. If you swallow them, let alone immortality, you may cry out and mourn on the spot. As for praying for blessings in order to ward off disasters, it is even more nonsense.
However, Emperor Jiajing was very stubborn, so Xiang Nan tried to sidestep him several times. Seeing that he couldn't listen to his opinions, he had no choice but to give up and stop trying to persuade him.
After Xiang Nan mastered the twenty-four unique skills of Shaolin Temple, he asked Jiajing to issue an order to send these monks back to Shaolin. After all, he only wanted to learn martial arts and did not want to hurt anyone.

…
"Master, Junbao and I came to see you." Xiang Nan and Junbao stood in front of Jueyuan's bone tower and worshiped. "My disciple is unfilial and I only come to see you now. I'm really sorry."
"Senior brother, I want to take Master's bone tower to Laojun Temple for burial." Jun Bao said to Xiang Nan.
"Well, take it away." Xiang Nan nodded, "We have become enemies with the Shaolin Temple this time. They can't do anything to us, and they might take it out on Master's ashes. So we'd better take him away."
They confiscated all the martial arts secret books from Shaolin Temple. This is a heinous crime in the martial arts world. If you peek at others practicing martial arts, you have to gouge out your eyes and lose your martial arts skills.
Taking away all the secret books is an unrelenting hatred.
However, Xiang Nan is not afraid. With his martial arts skills, he is not afraid of Shaolin Temple monks seeking revenge. As for other disciples of Tai Chi Sect, whether they will be chased and beaten by Shaolin Temple monks when they travel around the world is none of Xiang Nan's business.
The master leads you in. Cultivation is personal. If you don't practice kung fu well enough, it's normal to get beaten.
…
After worshiping his master, Xiang Nan returned to the capital.
In the next few years, he still studied martial arts every day and went to the palace to give lectures.
However, he also did several good things. First, he popularized the method of treating smallpox with cowpox, so that this disease, which once wreaked havoc in all directions and caused countless deaths and injuries every year, no longer continued to be vicious. This alone saved countless lives and won the world.
The admiration of the people.
The second is to order people to buy sweet potato, corn and pepper seeds from Portuguese merchants in Macau. The yield of sweet potatoes is extremely high. One acre of land can produce nearly a thousand kilograms, which is higher than rice and wheat. Moreover, sweet potato leaves and sweet potato seedlings can be
Eat, which greatly alleviated the famine.
Corn is also a high-yielding crop. Compared with wheat and rice, it has strong drought tolerance, cold tolerance, barrenness tolerance and excellent environmental adaptability.
As for chili, it is a spice and an excellent condiment. Before chili was introduced to China, the spices used by the Chinese were mostly onion, ginger, garlic, pepper, pepper, dogwood, etc. The introduction of chili greatly enriched the taste buds of the Chinese people.
Third, Xiang Nan contributed methods for making glass, mirrors and cement.
Glass has been around since ancient times, and Chinese people call it medicinal jade. Because the glass made locally is not pure enough and has poor heat resistance, it has never been popularized.
Xiang Nan knew the manufacturing technology of glass, so he quickly made a large piece of glass and presented it to Emperor Jiajing. He built a palace made of glass in the palace. This made Jiajing very happy and gave it the name Crystal Palace.
.
After the glass was made, it was not surprising that mirrors were used. At that time, there were already glass mirrors imported from the West in the palace, but Xiang Nan's mirror was larger, and the image was more realistic, which naturally made Jiajing more fond of it.
Cement is an excellent building material. It can not only build houses, but also build fortifications, build flood control dams, build bridges and pave roads... It can be said to be quite practical.
Emperor Jiajing even gave it the name "Xi soil". In ancient times, Dayu used Xi soil to build dams to prevent floods. Emperor Jiajing felt that cement had this effect.
Xiang Nan, who donated the cement, is naturally a great hero. And if he can obtain this treasure, he is naturally a wise and wise king.
Therefore, he gave Xiang Nan a great reward and the title "Fengtian Fu Guotong Wei Qing Xu Yuan Miao Yin Xian Yu Hua Hong Ren Ji Shi Pu Du Zhong Yi Zhenren".
Reward [Explanation of Teachings and Protecting the Country] Jade Seal, Platinum, Wenqi, Crown, Dharma Clothes, and Mink Fur. He is in charge of the three palaces of the capital, Chaotian, Apparition, and Lingji, and is in charge of Taoism.
