Shaolin skill
“Piercing Through Stones” serves for strengthening the
“external” power of the body, it is designed to rear the
YANG force in a human body. That skill is aimed at
training the “indicative force” of two fingers. After
mastering it you can kill a man, just touching him with
your hand. As regard to its effectiveness, it is similar
to some “soft” exercises for finger training.
When you master
Shaolin skill DIEN SHI GONG, you will be able to
concentrate all your force in fingers, or in finger
tips, to speak more correctly. Using only fingers, it is
possible to do a lot of harm to the health of a man,
moreover, it is possible to inflict severe wounds in
him. You will be able to hit a man, even if some
physical obstacle separates you from him. At that, it is
necessary to indicate directly at the man whose health
you would like to do harm. Only in that case the use of
that skill will have the highest efficiency. It should
be realized well and kept in mind from the start of
training. When you finish learning the exercise, you
will be able to hit easily people only with your fingers
and inflict on them severe wounds, even those ones that
cause death. If one needs to cure such wounds with
herbal medicine, he has to cure the whole body. If only
fingers are capable of inflicting such body damages,
what could you say about the whole arm and the
destructive force which can be contained in it ...
<...>
... Two more
years later, when you can easily pierce through stones,
Shaolin skill DIEN SHI GONG will have been mastered. At
present this skill in use is as effective as in the
past. Having acquired the technique, you yourself will
have to understand the importance of this exercise for
the Shaolin Martial Art. Don’t be blind, try to
understand clearly the meaning of learning DIEN SHI
GONG. The man who learns and improves the method must be
very persistent from the very beginning. Training one of
the skills of “Deadly Hand”, he must concentrate his
utmost attention to it without stopping to learn in no
time. It is not so easy just to stretch an arm and
inflict on a man such injuries that will cause death.
Trainees who pay attention to all those things will
master the skill “Piercing Through Stones” to
perfection.
After it one may
proceed to learn the Shaolin skill of striking at
vulnerable points DIAN XUE SHU to become more powerful.
