Chapter 724: I'm Going to Start a Sect!
Abbot Nanyun and Elder North breathed a sigh of relief when they heard Ren Na's words, and they all thanked Su Huai: "Mr. Su, this matter is really thanks to you, otherwise the century-old reputation of our Shaolin Temple will be ruined." ”
"This is also the reason why I am resolutely reluctant to engage in tourism development around the Shaolin Temple. Su Huai smiled:
"Cultural brand, if you want to do it cleanly, if it is for money, not to mention the bad reputation, it will be extremely unfavorable to the future promotion of Zen culture.
In our temple, we must not be commercially contracted to anyone, nor can we collect any incense money, Buddha beads, and consecration instruments, I expect that the Shaolin martial arts troupe alone, the income from performances in various places, is enough for the temple. ”
Elder North was stunned and said: "Don't charge incense money? How can this work, I also plan to renovate the Buddha statue in the temple, after all, the propagation of the Dharma also requires the majesty of the Buddha and Bodhisattva." ”
Su Huai looked at the somewhat dilapidated Daxiong Treasure Hall behind him, but said with a smile: "The majesty of the Buddha and Bodhisattva does not rely on the golden body, but on the Dharma, and the Dharma is passed on by monks. ”
After saying this, Abbot Nanyun and Elder North both paused slightly, and then said at the same time:
"Amitabha, Mr. Su's words are deeply understanding the Dharma and the truth, which makes people suddenly open, and the poor monks have been taught!"
"Mr. Su can be called the Wheel Saint King~!"
The monks next to him, seeing the abbot, the elders were all surprised that Su Huai was so respectful.
But Su Huai said: "Abbot Nanyun, Elder Bei, in the future, I will be responsible for the promotion of this temple to the outside world, you must manage the monks in the temple to practice, and we will work together to promote the Dharma to the outside world." ”
This sentence is really asking for power, but Abbot Nanyun and Elder North nodded without hesitation and said, "It should be so." ”
On the side, Dayong hurriedly interjected: "This doesn't charge incense money, but what if so many people come to learn martial arts? Don't we charge some tuition? I'm afraid our temple won't be able to afford it." ”
"The Luohan Hall can still accept lay disciples. Li Zhenfan said disdainfully beside him.
"Luohan Hall is just such a location, and it will break the sky with a maximum of 200 people. Dayong said indignantly:
"But now we have received more than 5,000 applicants to learn martial arts, don't we use martial arts to propagate the Dharma? If we don't accept these disciples to come in, how can we still propagate the Dharma, I think we still have to collect incense money, at least expand the Luohan Hall." ”
Abbot Nanyun and Elder North glanced at each other, and they were also a little hesitant.
Of course, Su Huai saw Dayong's careful thinking, and to put it bluntly, he still wanted to get some oil and water from it.
However, he had a plan, and said with a smile: "I don't think it's necessary, we need ten years of hard work to practice Shaolin martial arts, for modern people, it's too hard, many of these people who signed up just want to come to see it, or learn to fight and defend themselves, I look at Luohan Hall to select the most sincere, the most talented and persevering elites, just stay......"
"What about the rest?" Dayong hurriedly said: "The Buddha said that the Buddha will cross all sentient beings, should Master Su's nephew not cross these sentient beings?
Da Yong's words were serious, and there was indeed some truth, and Abbot Nanyun and Elder North both nodded slightly.
Su Huai said with a smile: "This is easy, I plan to run his martial arts hall with Uncle Li and accept these ordinary disciples who are interested in martial arts." He already has a detailed development plan for the future of Shaolin Temple.
But in terms of spreading Chinese martial arts, he still has his own plans, Shaolin Temple alone is not enough, he wants to reform Chinese martial arts and establish his own new sect.
said to Li Zhenfan:
"Uncle Li has made a lot of efforts to promote the movie "Shaolin Temple" recently, and he is the authentic successor of Shaolin martial arts. ”
"How can that be done!?" Dayong exclaimed: "Li Zhenfan is an outcast of Shaolin Temple, how can he accept disciples outside on behalf of Shaolin." ”
Li Zhenfan glared at Da Yong, raised his fist and said, "Da Yong, why don't you try my outcast, what is the level of your four King Kongs, and see who has learned Shaolin True Kung Fu more." ”
Dayong's face changed and he snorted, "You don't have this qualification. ”
When the two were tense, Abbot Nanyun said: "You guys listen to Mr. Su first, he must have other plans." ”
Su Huai smiled in his heart, thinking that the old abbot was more wise, and nodded:
"Yes, I don't plan to call Uncle Li's martial arts hall pure Shaolin traditional martial arts, but Uncle Li and I interrupted to start our own martial arts school and reform traditional Shaolin martial arts with a brand new school. ”
"What!?" The four King Kongs exclaimed in unison: "You want to open a mountain and establish a faction~~!?"
Fang Long, Hong Bao also exclaimed.
Abbot Nanyun nodded unexpectedly: "What Mr. Su means is that he wants to improve Shaolin martial arts and adapt more to modern urban people, so he plans to do a new martial arts reform, this idea is indeed very good, the basic skills of our Shaolin martial arts are not suitable for modern people to practice." ”
"Abbot Mingjian. Su Huai praised.
Elder North also nodded: "This is indeed a good channel, which can not only prevent too many idle people in the temple from interfering with the monks' cultivation, but also promote ......the Dharma with martial arts."
Seeing that the abbot and the northern elder were unified, although the four King Kongs were not convinced, they did not dare to make a sound.
At this time, there was one person who objected.
"Xiao Su, I have no opinion on you opening up the mountain and establishing a faction. Li Zhenfan thought for a while, waved his hand and said:
"But I can't join, I'm your uncle after all, I won't become your apprentice if you start the mountain, as the saying goes, I'd rather be a chicken head than a phoenix tail, not to mention martial arts, with all due respect, Su Shi's nephew, you are still far from me, if you want to be the founder of this mountain, I think I'm more suitable than you." ”
Although Li Zhenfan's words were arrogant, no one questioned his qualifications, after all, he was the first person in Shaolin martial arts, and even the Four Great King Kongs were not his opponents.
Su Huai listened, and originally wanted to say, it is okay for my sect to send you to be the ancestor of the mountain, but thinking about the current Li Zhenfan after all, martial arts are still lacking, if he is allowed to be the patriarch, with him so domineering Singh, I am afraid that he will not be able to teach if he wants to, and he must establish his own authority.
So he smiled at Li Zhenfan:
"That's it, Uncle Li, let's make a bet, it's better to wait for us to compete, whoever wins, who will serve as the ancestor of this sect, I will publish all the martial arts essence of Huaxia in the name of the patriarch in the sect." ”
