The recent series of major actions of the thousand-year-old Shaolin Temple have attracted widespread attention from society.

The deadly "acupoint method" is available on the Internet

Log in to the Shaolin Temple website (www.shaolin.org.cn), open the web page with the word "武", in addition to the "peerless magical power" "Yi Jin Jing" In addition, the reporter randomly clicked on the "Acupoint Diagnosing Method" page and suddenly found "11 acupoints that stun", "103 acupoints that disabled" and "36 acupoints that were fatal".

In the "36 Deadly Points", it is clearly written: the eyebrow point (also known as Yintang) is located between the two eyebrows; the Black Tiger Diaxin Point (also known as Jianli) is located three points above the navel. Medium size. In the "103 Disabled Points", clear points such as "Xinjing Point (also known as Jiuwei), the lower edge of the xiphoid bone of the chest; Jingmen Point (also known as Qishu), the free space of the twelfth rib" are also marked. Location.

The secret techniques of acupuncture are clear at a glance

On the webpage, in addition to marking acupoints such as "disabling" and "lethal", the practice method is also described in detail.

The acupuncture method is divided into three levels. In the initial stage, "make a wooden figure and draw the acupoints on the human body..."; later, "choose softer objects, such as paulownia boards, rotten wood, etc., Hold the gold needle or gold scissor finger slowly, three to five times a day, 15 to 30 times each time..."

Although ordinary disciples can be taught the technique of acupuncture, they will not be taught the techniques of fatal key points and controlling people." . Disciples who have not been tested for 10 years and have high moral standards will not be taught to prevent thugs from acquiring skills and harming the country and the people."

Article 2 of the Shaolin Temple's martial arts precepts also requires monks to "only You can practice self-defense, refrain from selfish selfishness, and be willing to fight bravely." But this time the "acupuncture method" is put online, will there be "thugs gaining skills", and how will the Shaolin Temple "test" it?
