Gu Long: Dominating the Martial Arts World Starting from Transmigrating as A Fei

"Who is it?"

Xin Jing's voice was calm and stern; now, any slight movement would put him on alert.

Two figures were reflected in the paper window at the doorway.

They were two monks, one fat and one thin.

The fat monk's voice said:

"Third Uncle, it's me."

Xin Jing felt slightly relieved and asked:

"Is this Fang Zheng or Fang Yuan? What is it?"

Fangzheng was the fat monk's Buddhist name, and he was also one of Xin Jing's nephews who were assigned to guard the "Scripture Pavilion".

Fang Zheng has now been impersonated by A Fei, who has also used his "disguise technique" to transform himself into Fang Zheng's appearance.

If the "Disguise Technique" is used on oneself, it can directly alter the shape of muscles and bones using true qi.

Therefore, Afei doesn't need to wear a mask like Lianxing.

Ah Fei said in a square voice:

"Third Uncle, Fang Yuan and I finished our patrol and found nothing unusual, so we came to inform you."

Xin Jing watched Fang Zheng grow up. This junior apprentice was usually a bit lazy, but his martial arts skills improved quite quickly.

Because of his fearless spirit, he was transferred to work as a guard.

I don't want to entrust him with serious matters now, but he's become more serious and even knows to report back.

Xin Jing nodded in satisfaction and said:

"Very well, in that case, you two should go back and rest, and be more alert while you sleep."

On the window paper, Ah Fei's silhouette bowed slightly and said:

"Yes, Third Uncle, it was during my patrol just now that I had some insights into Buddhism, so I came here to discuss Zen."

Among the "Seven Disciples of the Head Monk", apart from the head monk Xinhu, the monk Xinjing had the deepest understanding of Buddhism.

He was the one whom the younger disciples consulted most often, so Afei had a perfectly good reason to come to him for meditation and Dharma discussions.

Xin Jing smiled, thinking to himself that Fang Zheng had become interested in Buddhism, and said:

"Okay, come in."

Ah Fei thought to himself that this "Scripture Pavilion" was too big.

If it's smaller, you can walk around outside a couple of times, and the system can learn all the martial arts techniques stored inside, even through the doors and walls.

Now all we can do is go inside and try to stay for a while.

Xingnu, disguised as Fang Yuan, was a little nervous, after all, he was the third-ranked character in the Shaolin Temple.

She secretly tugged at Ah Fei's sleeve.

Seeing the unease in her eyes, Afei patted the back of her hand and gave her a reassuring look.

Xingnu was finally relieved.

Afei pushed open the door and entered, with Xingnu following behind, her hands clasped together and her head bowed.

Fortunately, the candlelight in the 'Scripture Pavilion' was dim, making it impossible to see people's faces clearly, and Xin Jing was also facing away from them.

Ah Fei walked forward with a big smile on his face.

As he walked to the white jade Buddha and sat on the futon, the subtitles for "Ancient Martial Arts Chronicles" began to scroll wildly.

[Original manual discovered; fist technique detected: "Hundred Steps Divine Fist"; analysis to begin.]

[Original manual discovered; palm technique detected: Prajna Palm; analysis to begin.]

[Original manual discovered; sword technique detected: "Bodhi Sword Technique"; analysis to begin.]

[Original manual discovered; finger technique detected: "Crossing the River Finger Technique"; analysis to begin.]

[Original manual discovered; hard skill detected: "The Indestructible Body of the Arhat"; analysis to begin.]

[Original manual discovered; physical technique detected: "Golden Bell Shield"; analysis to begin.]

The rapidly changing subtitles were overwhelming, but luckily Ah Fei had excellent eyesight.

Afei noticed four martial arts techniques: "Hundred Steps Divine Fist", "Prajna Palm", "Bodhi Sword Technique" and "Crossing the River Finger".

These four techniques, combined with the "Great Vajra Palm" learned from Xinmei, form the "Five Great Shaolin Skills" that are renowned throughout the martial arts world.

If the martial arts manuals are lost four years later, the only way to learn these martial arts is to find a Shaolin disciple who knows them.

He will be able to learn everything on this trip.

The following two works, "The Indestructible Body of Arhats" and "Golden Bell Cover," seem to have similar effects based on their names, both being martial arts techniques for body refinement.

But like Iron Shirt, Golden Bell Cover is a hard skill that requires both internal and external cultivation.

The two martial arts styles complement each other and reinforce each other.

If all of them are practiced to the extreme and used simultaneously, they are practically an impenetrable fortress, impervious to any weapon.

In terms of physical toughness alone, it can even reach the level of the sixth level of the Mingyu Gong, "Ice Soul Jade Bone".

The "Indestructible Body of Arhats" is more like a supplement to the "Five Great Divine Skills of Shaolin", existing as the "Sixth Great Skill".

However, what bothered Afei even more was that the stolen "Damo Yijinjing" four years later was not detected by the system.

If I could acquire this martial art, then all of the previous ones would be insignificant.

In any martial arts world, the Yi Jin Jing is considered a top-tier martial art.

This is because this technique can open up the meridians, generate true qi, and even cleanse the bones and marrow, changing the innate physical foundation of a martial artist.

In Gu Long's world, this is also a top-tier divine skill, second only to the "Four Great Divine Skills," just like the "Innate Qi" and "Tai Chi Swordplay" of the Wudang School.

Since I haven't learned it, it can only mean that the martial arts technique is probably not in the 'Scripture Pavilion'.

It is undoubtedly a huge regret.

Even so, this adventure to the 'Scripture Pavilion' was worthwhile.

While waiting for the "Complete Record of Ancient Martial Arts" to analyze the martial arts, Afei kept talking.

We cannot leave this place until the analysis of these martial arts techniques is completed.

Xin Jing didn't turn her head, but remained seated cross-legged, and said to A Fei:

"What questions do you have about Buddhism? Tell me."

Ah Fei said with a smile:

"Third Uncle, what is Buddha, and what is demon?"

His only purpose was to stall for time, so he made up a question on the spot.

Xin Jing remained silent for a while, then murmured a Buddhist chant and said:

"The Buddha is not far away on Mount Ling, for Mount Ling resides only in your heart."

"What is Buddha? Buddha is not something to be sought externally, but something inherent in one's own nature. What is Mara? Mara is not something else, but a single thought of greed and attachment."

"A single moment of delusion is demonic; a single moment of enlightenment is Buddha. Cultivation is the transformation of delusion into enlightenment, illuminating the emptiness of one's own nature, where neither Buddha nor demon can be attained."

"..."

Xin Jing began reciting long verses, while A Fei listened indifferently.

He knew that a monk would inevitably ramble on for a long time about the kind of question he had asked.

Therefore, his attention has been focused on the progress of the analysis of "Ancient Martial Arts Chronicle".

After an unknown amount of time, accompanied by the system's "ding" sound, the analysis of "Ancient Martial Arts Compendium" was finally completed.

Afei glanced at it and saw that the number of martial arts recorded in the "Complete Record of Ancient Martial Arts" had instantly reached twenty-two.

[The original analysis of "Hundred Steps Divine Fist" is complete; five levels have been mastered, and it has been recorded in "Comprehensive Record of Ancient Martial Arts".]

……

[The original analysis of "Golden Bell Cover" is complete. Five levels have been learned and recorded in "Comprehensive Record of Ancient Martial Arts".]

He acquired six martial arts techniques at once, and mastered five levels of each of them.

Although these are not the most premium, they are plentiful.

I can combine these martial arts techniques to forge my own path in martial arts.

Even with Ah Fei's composure, he couldn't help but feel overjoyed; this trip to the "Northern Shaolin" was truly worthwhile.

Besides these six books, there's also the "Formless Divine Skill" I obtained from Xinhu, which is my biggest gain so far.

He can't wait to find the treasure of Shaolin.

Once he succeeds, he can leave; these old monks can't stop him anyway.

Only after listening to Xin Jing's sermon did A Fei get up to say goodbye.

As he and Xingnu reached the door, a voice suddenly came from behind them:

"stop."
