Eternal Sword

Chapter 201 Sixteen Arhats
Arhat's Demon Subduing Fist?
Chen Tang seemed to be thinking about something.

According to his understanding, Arhat is a symbol of suppressing evil spirits and expelling heretics in Buddhism, and it is also a title only possessed by those with great supernatural powers.

Chen Tang took a short break and continued practicing.

"Horse Stance Single Whip!"

The Sanskrit sound did not appear, as if the scene just now was just a flash in the pan.

"Stretch your legs and punch!"

"Dapeng's claws!"

"..."

After practicing several moves in succession, Chen Tang suddenly felt a shock all over his body. These boxing moves went through his mind once, and then he simplified them and turned them into one move.

"Throwing the elephant!"

The Sanskrit sound in my mind sounded again.

Chen Tang threw a punch forward suddenly, as if a giant elephant was thrown out from his palm. His whole body also rushed forward a few steps with an astonishing momentum!

"whee."

In the Arhat Hall, many disciples saw Chen Tang practicing boxing and couldn't help but laugh secretly and whisper to each other.

"What was this freeloader just practicing? Horse stance single whip?"

"It looks like a kick and a punch."

"I think it looks more like a roc's claws."

"Haha, such a simple move, but he turned it into something so weird."

Even the young novice monk who had just been enrolled in Xinping Zen Temple for a year or two had practiced the Arhat Fist quite well and was watching the fun from the sidelines.

"Didn't you see what he did just now? He even did the simplest opening move, the boy worshipping the Buddha, wrong."

"Yes, yes, yes! I saw it too. He didn't look like a boy worshipping Buddha just now. He looked more like a monk holding a rice bowl to beg for alms."

"Ha ha!"

Chen Tang seemed oblivious to the laughter and discussions around him.

He was just practicing the Arhat Fist subconsciously.

"Meditative style."

At this moment, Chen Tang sat with his knees crossed, one hand on his forehead, his eyes closed, meditating in a strange posture. The surroundings instantly became quiet, and all the noise disappeared at this moment.

"Weird!"

Chen Tang regained consciousness quickly. The move he just performed did not seem like a boxing technique, but rather a method of meditating and breathing.

"Happy style!"

The Buddhist chanting sounded again.

Various moves of "Arhat Fist" have been evolved again.

Chen Tang displayed many strange postures on the spot.

Different from before, the Joyful Style has evolved into many variations, which are extremely strange and do not feel like any boxing moves.

Chen Tang was so immersed in practicing martial arts that he didn't even notice anything.

When some monks saw Chen Tang's moves just now, they didn't know what they were thinking, their faces turned red and they spat!
"Brother, the moves that the freeloader just made look really weird."

"Yeah, what is he doing there?"

"Humph! How vulgar! It's a stain on people's eyes. In the pure Buddhist place, this person actually did such a vulgar and indecent act. Don't even look at him!"

The monk said this, but he would peek at it from time to time.

Unfortunately, not long after, Chen Tang changed his tactics.

Chen Tang practiced the sixty-one forms of "Arhat Fist" and eventually evolved it into sixteen forms.

He seemed to have heard of the techniques and moves in it in his previous life, and it was related to the Eighteen Arhats.

For example, the Arhat Holding the Bowl, the Arhat Meditation, and the Arhat Crossing the River are all among the Eighteen Arhats.

However, the "Arhat Subduing Demon Fist" only has sixteen moves, which is different from the previous life.

The sixteen moves of "Arhat Subduing Demon Fist" are not all boxing techniques.

It looks like the Green Lion pose, and seems to be related to some kind of hand seal.

As for the happy style, he only seemed to understand it vaguely.

When I was practicing the joy pose, my whole body felt extremely hot and uncomfortable, and I didn't feel happy at all.

The river crossing style seems to be a light skill.

The Sky-lifting Style is related to the palm technique. A glimmer of enlightenment gradually emerged in Chen Tang's mind.

If we say that "Arhat Fist" is the simplest and easiest to learn boxing in Buddhism.

Then "Arhat Subduing Demon Fist" is probably the foundation of all Buddhist martial arts!

This style of boxing is all-encompassing. It includes not only boxing techniques, but also Buddhist hand seals, palm techniques, light skills, finger techniques, and even some secret methods of cultivation for opening up the orifices.

After Chen Tang finished practicing the sixteen moves of "Arhat Subduing Demon Fist", his whole body was already sweating profusely.

Before I knew it, two hours had passed. It was even slower than practicing the sixty-one moves of the Arhat Fist, and it consumed my energy.

Chen Tang took a deep breath, slowly calmed his mind, gathered his strength, and recalled the details of the moves of "Arhat Subduing Demon Fist" in his mind.

There are some moves in it that are suitable for fighting with others.

Some moves are more like cultivation methods and need to be picked out in advance.

Not long after, several eminent monks came hurriedly.

"Master, I spent the whole afternoon eating for free and I haven't even mastered a single Luohan Fist."

A young monk came forward and said.

"You haven't learned any moves yet?"

The chief monk of Arhat Hall frowned deeply.

Although time is a bit tight, it shouldn't be a problem to master a few moves and styles in the Luohan Fist.

He hasn’t even mastered any of the moves. This person’s aptitude is too poor!
"Mingjing, can you do this?"

The head of the Discipline Institute frowned and said, "The time is almost up."

"Let's go."

Chen Tang opened his eyes and stood up, his expression calm, and said: "Let's go meet the Tantric monk."

The monks were unsure, but at this point, they had no choice but to force the issue.

"Let's go and take a look!"

The disciples of Luohan Hall hurriedly followed.

"What's going on? Why is there so much noise?"

Upon seeing this, the Zen disciples from other halls and courtyards hurried forward to inquire.

"Don't you know yet? That freeloader is going to fight with that Tantric monk!"

"He's the one who's eating for free, just relying on him?"

"Yes, he just spent the whole afternoon in our Luohan Hall learning the Luohan Fist!"

During this period, Chen Tang had already become "notorious" among the younger generation of disciples in Xinping Zen Temple. When many disciples heard about it, they all ran towards the square to watch the excitement.

It didn't take long.

The monks led Chen Tang to the square in front of the main hall.

In the square, Abbot Benguang and a group of senior monks from Xinping Zen Temple sat in the center.

In an area on the left, there were many monks wearing Tibetan red robes standing.

The people in the area on the right are dressed differently and are a mixed crowd. They are all pilgrims and people from all over the world.

Senior Brother Mingyuan and his wife are over there.

The old man stood behind the two of them like an iron tower.

After seeing Chen Tang, Senior Brother Mingyuan nodded at him and smiled.

"Abbot Benguang, how long do you plan to delay this?"

On the Tantric side, the Tantric leader who was sitting in the first seat said slowly: "Your temple is known as the number one temple in Qian Country, but after so many days, no one among the younger generation can rival Zhaba."

"That young monk is Zhaba."

Someone pointed it out to Chen Tang.

Chen Tang looked around.

Behind the leader of the Tantric Buddhism stood a young monk with a skinny and emaciated figure. His eye sockets were sunken and there was a slight red spot on his cheek, which looked quite strange against his dark skin.

The leader of the Tantric sect continued, "The Vajra Relic is the most precious treasure of Buddhism. There is no successor to the Qian Kingdom Buddhism, so it should be handed over to the Tantric sect to protect it in the future. Moreover, the Tantric sect has the authentic inheritance of the Vajra lineage."

Abbot Benguang said in a deep voice: "As far as I know, the Vajra inheritance of Tantric Buddhism is not perfect. For example, the Vajrapani has long been lost."

Chen Tang's heart moved and his eyes rolled a few times.
