As she was about to put the book back in its place, a page unexpectedly drifted down and landed in Dong Jiao's hands. She picked it up and immediately saw a clear, prominent line of characters: "The Golden Store Medicine from Shaolin Monastery specializes in treating snake venom! With all my life's dedication, I have developed various methods to treat different types of snake venom. Besides swallowing snake's bile or drinking snake's blood, there is one even more effective method—namely…" Dong Jiao stared at it, then suddenly exclaimed excitedly, "I've found it! I've found it!" At that moment, as the three close friends watched High Light struggling to breathe with tears in their eyes, Dong Jiao appeared before them: "Little Deng, Little Yang, Little Wu! Hurry! Hurry—have High Light take this pill!" The three friends took the pill from Dong Jiao, still puzzled. Yet Dong Jiao insisted, "Quick! Quick! If we wait any longer, it'll be too late!" The friends quickly opened High Light's mouth, but found his teeth cold and firm, making it impossible to insert the pill. Dong Jiao grew increasingly anxious, her eyes welling up with tears.
Holding the crimson pill between her own lips, and then pressing her lips gently against Gao Liang’s luminous ones—though Gao Liang had been deeply unconscious, the gentle pressure from Dong Jiao’s lips stirred a subtle awakening in him. With a simple opening of her mouth, the pill slid smoothly down her esophagus into her stomach. In a short while, Gao Liang began to slowly open his eyes.
"Wow! Big brother is awake! He’s awake!" The three close friends were absolutely thrilled—nothing could compare to seeing their leader revive. This was truly a moment of great joy.
"Where are we?" Gao Liang asked.
The three friends then recounted the events of their fierce battle with Gong Hong. Gao Liang roared, "Anyone who stands in my way dies! Anyone who harms my women dies!"
As he spoke, Dong Jiao felt her head spin and her body grow weak. Gao Liang reached out with a strong, solid hand to support her, and upon touching her forehead, gasped—how hot it was! He immediately asked the three friends what had happened.
The three unsuitable friends told Gao Qiang about how they had saved her. Gao Qiang sighed and said, "No! She's been poisoned!" At that moment, Gao Qiang said to her husband, "Husband, don't worry about me—there's only one pill left, and you've already taken it!" But Gao Qiang held firmly onto her slowly closing eyes and said, "No, I won't. I want you to live!" "This book! I can't understand the other pages, husband—please look at it! See if it's useful? Oh! I'm so painful! Husband, don't leave me!" Gao Qiang struggled through the pain, and Gao Qiang took the yellowed book she had handed over. With great excitement, he cried out, "A treasure! A treasure!" Gao Qiang and the three unsuitable friends looked at it—never knowing until they saw it, and now they were delighted. This was precisely the *Yijin Jing*, acclaimed as the origin of Shaolin martial arts, which describes a practice of unblocking the body's meridians to strengthen muscles and bones. Bodhidharma practiced Zen meditation through wall-watching, sitting in still
It is said that after Bodhidharma's departure, the Shaolin monks discovered an iron box inside the cave. The box was unlocked but could not be opened. Clever monks heated it with fire, and the box opened, for the box had been sealed with wax to protect it from moisture. Inside the box were two texts: one was the *Yijin Jing*, and the other, the *Xijieding Jing*, both written in Sanskrit. At that time, among the Shaolin monks, only the second patriarch, Huike, truly understood Sanskrit. Huike left the *Yijin Jing* at Shaolin and carried the *Xijieding Jing* on his travels throughout the land. Some monks had only a partial understanding of Sanskrit; they would consult translations and practice according to the teachings, and thus the Shaolin martial arts flourished in abundance. Later, a monk took the *Yijin Jing* to Emei Mountain, where he met the Buddhist monk Banlami谛 from India. With Banlami谛's assistance, the *Yijin Jing* was eventually translated into Chinese. Upon Huike's return from his travels, he brought back his own translation of the *Xij
Since the emergence of the *Yijinjing*, meditation and martial arts practice have been inseparable among the Shaolin monks. The *Yijinjing* is indeed the origin of Shaolin martial arts, and its core techniques are rarely shared outside the monastic circle. This particular copy, however, is entirely in Sanskrit—appears to be the original version—except for one page that has fallen out, which is written in Chinese. "Deng, the fat pig, bring my high-end tablet here. You three work together: one person inputs the Sanskrit text into the tablet, translates it simultaneously in Sanskrit, and reads out the meaning aloud." With a simple gesture from Gao Huang, the three friends immediately began working efficiently. Under the refined training of the eldest, Deng skillfully entered the Sanskrit characters into the tablet, Yang, the reserved one, translated the text into Chinese using a translation software, and Wu, the soft-spoken one, read it aloud: Practicing the *Damo Yijinjing* enhances mental clarity and physical well-being, bringing a sense of overall ease and comfort. Through the practice of "diao yin" (guided breathing and movement), it further strengthens cellular metabolism, benefiting the refinement of
The *Damo Yi Jin Jing* is the most effective practice of qi cultivation among China's martial arts community. Daily practice enables one to naturally master the flow of power, and during prolonged sparring sessions, one rarely feels short of breath. Furthermore, it enhances the speed of movements in martial techniques and strengthens the quality of power, making it an indispensable internal practice for martial artists. Traditionally, the *Damo Yi Jin Jing* has been passed down internally within the inner circle, not to external disciples—this distinction defines the inner circle from the outer circle, and offers significant benefits to martial practitioners. Even in today's 2011, amid China's advanced industrial, commercial, and technological society, where physical activity has declined and physical vitality is gradually weakening, ordinary citizens who practice this technique can gradually refine their essence, strengthen their vital energy, invigorate their spirit, and improve their physical robustness without conscious effort. The *Damo Yi Jin Jing* improves skeletal structure and is particularly ideal as a fitness practice for adolescents in development.
After consistently practicing the "Damo Yijin Jing" for six months, adolescents will feel vigorous and energetic; children who continue practicing it will see significant improvement in their weak constitution; middle-aged individuals will experience the disappearance of common fatigue and a gradual reduction of anxiety and depression, with enhanced physical vitality due to improved overall health; for elderly people, or those with mobility issues and chronic conditions, practicing the "Damo Yijin Jing" offers tangible benefits in strengthening their constitution and promoting physical health and rehabilitation; women, through the deep breathing techniques that enhance oxygen supply to the body, will feel mentally refreshed and regain a youthful, balanced posture, and due to the substantial fat burning during practice, it becomes the ideal exercise for beauty, skin care, and weight management.
