Shaolin Temple is a prestigious Buddhist temple in China, the ancestral garden of Zen Buddhism with a prominent reputation, the birthplace of Shaolin Kung Fu, located at the foot of the Songshan Wuru Peak 12 kilometers west of Dengfeng City, and is one of the main core scenic spots of Songshan Scenic Area.

Shaolin Temple was built in the 19th year of Taihe in the Northern Wei Dynasty (495 AD), it was built by Emperor Xiaowen to settle the Indian monk Batuo, because it was built in the dense forest of Songshan Shao, so it was named "Shaolin Temple". In the third year of Xiaochang in the Northern Wei Dynasty (527 AD), the Indian monk Bodhidharma came to Shaolin, and faced the wall of a natural stone cave in the Wuru Peak of Shaomu Mountain for nine years, and the first Zen Buddhism was transmitted. At this point, Shaolin is known as the "Zen ancestral garden". At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, thirteen stick monks such as Zhijian and Tanzong of Shaolin Temple made meritorious contributions to the Han Dynasty in the campaign of Li Shimin, the king of Qin, to defeat Wang Shichong, and won the praise and reward of the rulers of Li and Tang. During this period, due to the strong support of the imperial court, the Shaolin Temple developed extremely rapidly and won the reputation of "the first temple in the world", and Shaolin Kung Fu has also been famous since then. The Ming Dynasty reached its peak. During the Republic of China, the warlord Shi Yousan set fire to most of the buildings of the Shaolin Temple, and the thousand-year-old foundation was destroyed. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, with the care and support of the party and the state, the Shaolin Temple was revitalized, especially in 1982, a "Shaolin Temple" movie, which made Shaolin Temple and Shaolin Kung Fu popular all over the world and became a top tourism product in Henan and even the world.

Since the establishment of Shaolin Temple, Zen, martial arts, medicine are world-famous, enduring, deposited rich historical connotation and cultural heritage, has been rated as "Zhengzhou City's top ten tourist attractions", the country's first batch of "4A-level scenic spots", the annual reception of more than 1.5 million tourists, is worthy of the name of the Central Plains tourism pearl, Chinese tourist resort

Go inside, there are a lot of tourists, watch and take pictures everywhere, Zhu Siqi knows that this is only the outer courtyard of Shaolin Temple, and if you want to go to Shaolin, you have to ask the monks in the temple.

Seeing a little novice hitting the ground, he walked over and asked, "Little Master, where is the Zhike Elder of your temple?"

When the little novice saw someone asking, he saluted and said, "Elder Zhike is working in the south wing behind the main hall, and the donor will be able to see it when he enters from here." ”

"Thank you, little Master. After speaking, Zhu Siqi walked towards the back of the main hall. When I came to the back, I saw that there was a house in the south and hung a signboard of "Zhike Office", and when I walked inside, I saw that there were many monks in the office, and now the Shaolin Temple is also managed with modernization.

Someone inside saw someone coming in from outside, and got up with a young monk with glasses: "Donor, what are you doing?"

"I want to find your Elder Zhike"

"The elder is in the room inside, go in by yourself. Zhu Siqi thanked him and came to the room inside.

There was a desk inside, and behind the desk sat a monk in his forties, with a somewhat round face, who was talking on the phone, and when he saw someone coming in, he motioned for him to sit down first.

After he finished calling, he said to Zhu Siqi: "Donor, I don't know what to do with me?"

Zhu Siqi looked at him and knew that this monk should have also practiced kung fu, but there was no true qi in his body, and he should practice foreign kung fu

"I'd like to find you to host"

"Our host generally does not see guests, if the donor has anything to say to me, what can be done will definitely be done for you" The middle-aged monk said very tactfully.

"I want to go to the Inner Shaolin Temple," Zhu Siqi said.

"Nei Shaolin, who are you?" The middle-aged monk saw that he knew Nei Shaolin and thought that he was a disciple of the family somewhere.

"My master is also from Shaolin, his name is Fan, I don't know if you have heard of it?"

Of course, the middle-aged monk has never heard of Fan, who left Shaolin more than fifty years ago, and he should not have been born at that time.

"You've heard of the Master of Intelligence. ”

The middle-aged monk of the wisdom master still knows that when he came, he was the head of Shaolin in the wisdom of the country, and since the wisdom passed the position of the head to Ru more than ten years ago, he has been in retreat in the back mountain, ignoring mundane things.

"Who are you?"

"He is my ancestor, and my master is his second disciple. ”

Hearing Zhu Siqi say this, the monk was shocked.

"Okay, I'll go see the host right away and ask him to take you to Inner Shaolin" After speaking, he got up and led Zhu Siqi outside.

After passing through several side halls, I came to an antique Buddha building, where the Shaolin presided over the rest.

The middle-aged monk led him to the lobby to sit, and he first went inside to find the host. When I came to the presiding meditation room, I saw that the presiding officer was reading the scriptures.

"Host, there is a young man outside who wants to enter Shaolin, and he says that he is the disciple of the master of wisdom. ”

"Oh, the apprentices and grandchildren of the intelligent master have all gone out in Inner Shaolin, where did they come from?" The host also came out of Inner Shaolin and knew the reason.

"He said he was a disciple of Lifan"

"Lifan, second uncle!" The host heard that he was a disciple of Lifan, and knew that in addition to Ping's first uncle, he also had a second uncle Lifan in his early years, but he left Shaolin more than fifty years ago, and there has been no news of him.

"Invite him in, no, I'd better go out to see him, he's a disciple of my second uncle, and he's the same generation as me."

The two came to the lobby and saw a young man sitting in the lobby, although he was not outstanding, but his eyes were very aura, and the host knew that he should be a master of internal strength.

"You are Uncle Fan's disciple, what proof do you have?" Seeing that Zhu Siqi was so young, the host couldn't believe it and wanted to ask first.

"The disciple has a string of Buddhist beads that the master gave to the master back then. When he left, he also gave Zhu Siqi a string of Buddhist beads, which was given to him by his master wisdom back then, although it was not a rare thing, but because it was given by his master, he also cherished it.

The host saw Zhu Siqi take out a string of Buddhist beads, and his own master and uncle also had a string of the same Buddhist beads, which they usually played with in their hands, and he could see that it was the same at a glance.

immediately took Zhu Siqi's hand: "Senior brother, your master has been doing well recently, why don't you come back to take a look." ”

Zhu Siqi said: "Master is all right, it's just that Master likes to travel the world, and recently went out again, and when he left, he asked me to come to the master's door, which can be regarded as recognizing my ancestors and returning to my ancestors." ”

Host: "Okay, I'll take you to Inner Shaolin, if Master and Uncle know that you are here, they will definitely be very happy." ”

The host first asked the elder Zhike to leave on his own, and took Zhu Siqi to the back mountain, the road to the back mountain is more difficult to walk, sometimes you have to climb by hand, there is a small temple surrounded by trees on the back mountainside, although it is not very eye-catching, but it is the real essence of Shaolin - the location of Shaolin.

Entering the courtyard, I saw that there were many Shaolin disciples in the courtyard practicing boxing, Zhu Siqi knew at a glance that he was practicing the day after tomorrow Arhat boxing, through the courtyard to the inside, there was a large hall, go to the side, there are a few rows of side rooms in the back, come to the last row of side rooms, the host walked to a separate side room, and performed a Buddhist salute outside, before he said respectfully:

"Disciple Yuanfa pays a visit to Master. ”

An old man's voice came from inside: "Yuanfa, you don't do things outside, what are you doing here, come in." ”

"Yes, Master"

Yuanfa then took Zhu Siqi to push open the door and walked in.

I saw an elderly monk sitting in the meditation room inside, I couldn't tell how old he was, about the same as the master, but I heard the master say that his brother was more than ten years older than him, and if he was more than seventy, then this old monk didn't have to be nearly ninety years old. Zhu Siqi was secretly surprised in his heart.

As if he opened his eyes, he saw that Yuanfa had also brought a living person in and looked at Yuanfa.

Yuanfa hurriedly said: "Master, the disciple has a happy event to tell you today, this person is a disciple of the second uncle, and he is here to recognize the master today." ”

As he heard Yuanfa say this, he hurriedly looked at Zhu Siqi: "You are the disciple of the second junior brother, your master has been good recently, why didn't he come here, is he afraid that the master will punish him" If he recalls the past, if he is found by intelligence after stealing food, he will generally be punished for copying scriptures or thinking about it.

Zhu Siqi: "The master traveled all over the world and asked the disciples to come to the master to meet the master and the two uncles and uncles. ”

For example: "Your master is very active, it used to be the same in Shaolin, and after practicing kung fu, he disappeared, okay, don't talk about him, I don't know what your name is?"

"Disciple Zhu Siqi has been worshipping under the master for twelve years. ”

"It's rare that the second junior brother can persist in teaching disciples for twelve years, it seems that your talent should be very good, otherwise the second junior brother would not have put in such a big effort. ”

"The disciple is stupid and stupid, and he can't learn the master's skills."

"Don't be modest, I can feel your true energy, your kung fu should be good. ”

"The disciple doesn't dare, by the way, the master also asked me to bring two books to the ancestor and the two uncles and uncles" After speaking, he took out the two books written by Fan from the execution bag.

If you take a look, one book says 'Congenital Arhat Boxing', and the other book says 'Dharma Swordsmanship', flip it over, and it is also equipped with graphics, knowing that it is the real essence of Shaolin, and immediately said to the circle method

"You quickly go and invite your third uncle to come over, and ask him to come and see these two books, he is a natural martial idiot, it's strange if he doesn't jump up when he sees these two books."

When Yuanfa heard the master's order, he immediately went out and invited the third uncle.

After a while, Liao Ping also came, and as soon as he came in, he laughed, "Where is the disciple of the second senior brother, tell me to see"

Zhu Siqi only saw an old monk come in, he was not tall, but his muscles were still very developed, his eyes were bright, as soon as he saw Zhu Siqi, he immediately said: "Yes, the internal force is very deep, not much worse than me, I don't know how the second senior brother taught such a good apprentice."

He didn't know, because Zhu Siqi's "Yi Jin Yiyuan Gong" exercises can be practiced automatically whether he is sleeping or walking, and the words of "Yi Jin Jing" must be meditated before he can practice, so if you count it, Zhu Siqi is practicing 24 hours a day, which is definitely much faster than the progress of ordinary people, he has practiced for 12 years, and people have to practice for almost forty or fifty years to catch up, and it is strange that it is not deep.

As soon as Ping saw the two books in his hand, he grabbed them and saw that they were authentic and lost Shaolin masters, and he immediately jumped up, okay, Shaolin mastery is alive again, and he doesn't care about others, so he sat on the side and read it. When the basic translation is finished, the more I think about it, the less enjoyable it becomes, and I want to go and see it right away.

Seeing that there was just someone who had practiced in front of him, he immediately stood up, and didn't care if he still talked to Zhu Siqi, took his hand and said:

"Let's go outside and try it out first to see how well you practice martial arts. Regardless of what else he thought, he pulled Zhu Siqi to the open space outside.
