本文截取字天龙八部
本因、本观、本相、本参四僧见了鸠摩智献演三种指力，都不禁怦然心动，知道三卷奇书中所载，确是名闻天下的少林寺七十二门绝技，是否要将“六脉神剑”的图谱另录副本与之交换，确是大费踌躇。
本因道：“师叔，明王远来，其意甚诚。咱们该当如何应接，请师叔见示。”
枯荣大师道：“本因，咱们练功习艺，所为何来？”
本因方丈没料到师叔竟会如此询问，微微一愕，答道：“为的是弘法护国。”枯荣大师道：“外魔来时，若是吾等道浅，难用佛法点化，非得出手降魔不可，该用何种功夫？”本因道：“若不得已而出手，当用一阳指。”枯荣大师问道：“你在一阳指上的修为，已到第几品境界？”本因额头出汗，答道：“弟子根钝，又兼未能精进，只修得到第四品。”枯荣大师再问：
“以你所见，大理段氏的一阳指与少林拈花指、多罗叶指、无相劫指三项指法相较，孰优孰劣？”本因道：“指法无优劣，功力有高下。”枯荣大师道：“不错。咱们的一阳指若能练到第一品，那便如何？”本因道：“渊深难测，弟子不敢妄说。”枯荣道：“倘若你再活一百岁，能练到第几品？”本因额上汗水涔涔而下，颤声道：“弟子不知。”枯荣道：“能修到第一品吗？”
本因道：“决计不能。”枯荣大师就此不再说话。
