Chapter 45 Shaolin Temple (please recommend, please collect)
Zhongyue Songshan has always been the source of the three religions in the land of Zhongzhou. Many Taoist temples and academies are hidden in it. In Songshan Shaoshi Mountain, there is even a famous temple "Shaolin Temple". Everyone who practices martial arts in the world does not know Shaolin Temple. Even if the Shaolin Temple has been closed for more than 30 years, people in the world have been fascinated by it for a long time when they talk about Shaolin. All this is because of one person, and this person is Bodhidharma.

During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, Zen master Bodhidharma, a monk from Tianzhu, traveled eastward to Zhongzhou just to promote Buddhism. Based on the cultural thoughts of Zhongzhou, he established Zen Buddhism that was born out of Tianzhu Buddhism. The Buddhist monastery here is basically the Buddha's temple. Because the temple is located in the Shaoshi mountain forest, it is named "Shaolin Temple", and it is the ancestral home of Zen Buddhism in Zhongzhou.

By the time of the Sixth Patriarch Huineng, Zen Buddhism in Zhongzhou was far different from the esoteric Buddhism of the original Buddhism. Later, after Tianzhu experienced wars, Buddhism had no place to stand in Tianzhu. The people of Tianzhu only knew Brahmanism but not Buddhism. , This has to be said to be a trick of good fortune.There are only two branches of traditional Tantric Buddhism, Tibetan Tantra and Eastern Tantra, which are probably beyond the imagination of Sakyamuni.

However, the reason why Shaolin Temple is famous all over the world is that its Buddhist meditation is really exquisite and profound;Although ordinary people also know that Shaolin Temple hides dragons and crouching tigers, they never know that Shaolin Temple has such magical scriptures, and only people in the world are obsessed with the four great magic arts, but they have no choice but to go to Shaolin Temple.

On October 27th, a carriage slowly arrived at the foot of Mount Shaoshi. The driver of the carriage had a strange face and an ordinary appearance, but he couldn't remember his appearance at all just by looking at him, and he forgot it in the blink of an eye.This coachman turned out to be Xiao Hongchen, so how noble is the status of the people in the carriage?
Xiao Hongchen reined in his horse, tied the carriage to a tree, and looked at the [Shaoshi Mountain] written on the boundary marker at the foot of the mountain, it must be Shaoshi Mountain.Xiao Hongchen rolled up the bamboo curtain on the carriage, got in, and carried out a boy about fourteen or fifteen years old, it was Li Jianxin who had fallen into a coma.He carried Li Jianxin on his back, he could have jumped up with light work, but in order to ask for help, he walked step by step on the steps made of blue stones. The stone steps are very clean, presumably someone often comes to sweep the floor.

The steps are very long, and the mountain is a bit steep. On both sides of the stone steps, there are lush weeds. The whole Shaoshi Mountain looks like it is carved out of green jade. Xiao Hongchen walked on the stone steps, and he walked very fast. Quick, soon you can see the mountain gate of Shaolin Temple when you look up.

Vaguely he heard the rustling of a broom sweeping the ground.He was overjoyed, and grabbed Li Jianxin on his back with his right hand, and quickened his pace a little, and arrived at the mountain gate of Shaolin Temple in a blink of an eye.

Below the mountain gate of Shaolin Temple is an open platform, and there is an old monk with a wrinkled face, long eyebrows and long beard wearing a brown and yellow monk robe, who is slowly sweeping the ground. He stopped, took a look at Xiao Hongchen, and continued to sweep the floor.

Xiao Hongchen looked at the monk in front of him, clasped his hands together, saluted, and said, "I, Xiao Hongchen, beg your monastery to lend a helping hand to save this child's life." He said, turned around and gestured to the old monk.

The old monk didn't say anything when he heard this. He just pointed to his mouth, waved his hand, and made a gesture of asking for help.Even though he just swept the ground by himself, Xiao Hongchen was a little discouraged when he saw the old monk's attitude, but then he told himself that there must be other people in Shaolin Temple willing to save Li Jianxin, and then walked up.

After walking about [-] stone steps, the scenery of the trees beside the stone steps is completely different from that at the bottom of the mountain, with green pines and cypresses covering the clouds and the sun.Xiao Hongchen met another old monk with a haggard face and a thin figure, who was also sweeping the ground with his head down.Xiao Hongchen walked closer, clasped his hands together and said, "Master, is there an eminent monk in this temple who can save this poor child's life?"

The old monk noticed a pair of boots suddenly appeared in his line of sight, looked up and saw Xiao Hongchen, clasped his hands together and bowed to Xiao Hongchen and said: "Amitabha, I don't know what the layman is talking about." Xiao Hongchen Hearing this, he was suffocated in his heart, but he clasped his hands together and saluted, and then continued to walk up.

After walking another two hundred steps, Xiao Hongchen came to a platform again, and another old monk in brown and yellow monk clothes was sweeping the ground, Xiao Hongchen's originally steadfast heart was shaken a little, and he walked forward After a few steps, he saw the old monk raised his head and looked at him with two black holes, "Is anyone there?" Xiao Hongchen looked at the nagging old monk holding two black holes towards him Looking over, he felt a little guilty for a moment, and he actually had the idea of ​​turning around and leaving.

That's right, ordinary people must have turned around and left when they saw these three strange-looking monks. After hesitating for a while, Xiao Hongchen went up again. The strange thing is that he didn't forget any fallen leaves, this man's ear skills are really good.

Xiao Hongchen finally walked through the thousand steps with Li Jianxin on his back, and arrived in front of the Temple of Heavenly Kings in Shaolin Temple, but the door of the Hall of Heavenly Kings was closed tightly.He wanted to call someone out, but he heard a Sanskrit singing from the temple, and suddenly thought of something, so he suppressed the idea of ​​speaking.

Xiao Hongchen closed his mouth, closed his eyes, closed his hearing, and became a deaf, dumb and blind person.He waited like that for an unknown amount of time, when the first old monk entered, with the slight fragrance of camphor leaves on his body.Then the second monk also went in, with the astringency of pine needles on his body.Finally, the third monk also went in, and he didn't have a trace of smell on him.Xiao Hongchen waited until the three monks had entered before opening his eyes, opening his mouth, and opening his sense of hearing. Only then did he realize that it was getting dark, and he followed into the Hall of Heavenly Kings.

Looking at the majestic portraits of the four heavenly kings in the Tianwang shop, he felt as if he had re-recognized the world. It had been a long time since he had such a fresh sense of the world.

As soon as Xiao Hongchen passed through the Hall of Heavenly Kings, he felt his vision suddenly open up, and then he noticed that the three sweeping monks were waiting for him. Put the three eminent monks down and enter the temple." But the three old monks were all smiling, and returned a salute to Xiao Hongchen with clasped hands.

The deaf monk in the middle said: "Amitabha, the old monk's dharma name is watching, this silent dharma name is watching, and this blind dharma name is watching. Originally, my Shaolin Temple has been closed for many years, so I can't let people in. It's just a layman. Quite patient and comprehensible, I realized the Zen method of 'don't listen, don't see, don't speak' in an instant. Only then did the three of us let the layman in. The layman must have something important to do when he goes to Shaolin this time, so please invite the layman here Wait for a while, don't move around, I will ask the master abbot to come over."

"Thank you, Master." Xiao Hongchen said with one hand up.

After a while, Monk Zhaoguan walked over with an old monk wearing a red and yellow cassock. There was a trace of compassion between the monk's brows, as if he was an eminent monk.When Xiao Hongchen saw this master abbot, he knew that the person in front of him was also a master of heaven and man at the same level as himself, and the little arrogance in his heart dissipated with the appearance of a master at the same level as himself.

When Xiao Hongchen saw the abbot, he hurriedly gave a salute and said, "I, Xiao Hongchen, have met the master abbot of Shaolin Temple, but I don't know what the name of the master is."

The spirited old monk immediately returned a salute and said, "Amitabha, the old man's name is Zhaoku, he is the abbot of Shaolin Temple, and he has met a layman, but the layman is the master of this generation [Pavilion of Panic]?"

"The Shaolin Temple really has a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger. The master expected it. I am indeed the owner of the [Pavilion of Panic] of this generation."

"Amitabha, I think the layman's [Wuxiang Shengong] has studied heaven and man, but I don't know why the layman came to Shaolin?" Abbot Zhaoku looked at Xiao Hongchen and said.

Xiao Hongchen heard the words, put Li Jianxin off his back, lay flat on his back and hugged his hands and said: "Please also host the master to save this little doll."

"Why does he have the breath of my Shaolin [Tongzi Gong]?" Abbot Zhaoku was a little surprised.

"He is the apprentice of Zen master Zhaoshan, please save this little doll, master." Xiao Hongchen said, supporting Li Jianxin a step forward.

"Is he a disciple of Senior Brother Zhaoshan? Junior Brother Zhaoyan, you go to the head of the Yaowang Academy and come to the Daxiong Hall." Abbot Zhaoku instructed Brother Yan.

"Layman Xiao, follow me to the Great Hall of Great Heroes." Abbot Zhaoku waved his hand and led Xiao Hongchen into the Great Hall of Great Heroes.

In the Daxiong Palace, Monk Zhaoyan soon pulled over the head monk Zhaohui of Yaowangyuan. Monk Zhaohui took Li Jianxin's pulse and rolled Li Jianxin's eyelids, and said to the abbot Ku: "Amitabha, report to the abbot, this child The mind has been planted with demons. If you want to save him, you have to help him get rid of the demons. It would be good to invite a few seniors from Bodhiyuan to come over and chant scriptures and talk about the Buddha. It’s just that he is the supervisor of the second line and has a strange The eight meridians were all interrupted by someone, and now they have grown back together, the meridians are chaotically connected together, only the magic of the [Marrow Washing Sutra] can help him out of trouble."

"Amitabha." Abbot Zhaoku recited the Buddha's name, looked at Xiao Hongchen and said, "Layman, let's wake up this child first."

"Everything is according to the master, thank you for your help." Xiao Hongchen also knew that it would be good if Shaolin Temple would take action, so he didn't say much.

"I also hope that the laity will cause less killing karma, Amitabha"

Xiao Hongchen saw the eminent monks in the Bodhi Court, all of them were octogenarians, and he couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive and asked the abbot: "Abbot, these masters are really too old. People are terrified."

"Laughing, Layman, you've got a picture. Your appearance is nothing more than a thing outside of your body. Although my masters and uncles are old, they have a lot of Dharma cultivation, not to mention saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. Laymen, please rest assured." gone."

"Then I will thank Master Abbot." Xiao Hongchen didn't refuse anymore after hearing this, but just thanked him repeatedly.

"Amitabha, please wait for a few days." An old monk headed by Bodhiyuan said.Then he brought his brothers and sisters to recite the "Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's Vow Sutra", Xiao Hongchen stood aside and heard the words, and felt the Sanskrit sound filled his ears, and the evil spirit of blood in his body was washed away, Shaolin Zen really lived up to its reputation.
