Holly breath

The teacher told me about a great qi gong master from the Saolin Temple who was called Shi Jingshu. His father brought him to Shaolin Monastery in the Songshan Mountains of Hanan when he was seven years old. There he studied Wu Shu and became a great master and teacher of the arts "tie sha zhang" (iron palm) and qi gong. When Master Shi Jingshu wanted to heal someone, he did it with fire. Only one who has fully mastered qi gong could perform something like this. One of the techniques used by Master Shi was "Huogong", literally translated, the qi gong of fire. One of the very rare qi gong techniques, in which the master deeply inhales the hot air of the fire and then blows it out as a potential force on the diseased place and in this way heals some diseases and injuries. Since the demonstration of "huogong" requires a lot of energy, he very rarely agreed to perform it in front of an audience. My teacher had the opportunity to observe one of his healing demonstrations. Teacher Shi came out in a long red Buddhist robe holding a prayer book in his hands, two young monks were walking beside him carrying a vessel filled with hot coals, placing it in the middle of the hall. The patient was a man who suffered from excruciating pain in his legs. He sat down near the pot of hot coals with his legs rolled up. Master Shi took off his clothes, carefully cleaned the iron spatula about 20 cm long. and put it on hot coals. He then rinsed his mouth with water and began to concentrate to gather all his strength. The teacher's neck veins begin to pop. Shi removes the spatula from the coal and raises it above his head and sticks out his tongue and begins to lick it three times. The silence was so great that you could only hear the crackling of burning coals and a sound like when hot fat falls on a cold pan. Inhaling hot air from the spatula, the teacher presses the patient's sore spot, bends his head and blows air, repeats this procedure two more times, blowing air on the patient's leg, and then returns the spatula to the hot coals. He repeats this whole process 12 times. At the end, Teacher Shi was smiling, relaxed and in a good mood, showing everyone that his tongue was not damaged. The patient stated that during the treatment he felt the icy air that made his leg burn, the pain subsided completely and was almost gone.
