"Patriarch Bodhidharma is also a Brahman?" Ye Qing was even more stunned, which surprised him even more than the previous incident. Since the last time the Brahmanical monks happened, Ye Qing has been a little hostile to Brahmanism, in his opinion, Brahmanism cannot be regarded as a branch of Buddhism at all, their teachings are too strange, and even a little demonic.

Who would have thought that the Bodhidharma Patriarch, who was highly respected by the Chinese country, would also come from Brahmanism. You must know that the legends about Patriarch Bodhidharma in history show that Patriarch Bodhidharma is an absolutely compassionate monk, which plays a very important role in the promotion and development of Buddhism in China. However, how could such an enlightened monk be a Brahman? His compassion is very different from that of Brahmanism.

Shen Tianjun saw Ye Qing's doubts and explained: "When Patriarch Bodhidharma entered the Huaxia Kingdom, it was at the time of the collapse of Tianzhu Dalin Temple, and the entire Buddhism of Tianzhu suffered a great blow and was almost lost. Fortunately, a branch of Dalin Temple at that time, that is, Brahmanism, has survived and has been passed down to the present. And it was under that circumstance that Patriarch Bodhidharma entered the Huaxia Kingdom to preach in order to prevent the loss of the Buddha's righteousness in Dalin Temple. Therefore, on the side of Huaxia, he preached the Buddhism of Dalin Temple, not the Buddhism of Brahmanism. So, the legend about him is very different from the teachings of Brahmanism. And the Buddha's righteousness of Dalin Temple is actually not far from the Buddha's righteousness of Xiaolin Temple in my country, so he can spread it when he preaches here. ”

"I see. Ye Qing suddenly realized, listening to Shen Tianjun's explanation, he immediately understood what was going on. It seems that those legends about the Bodhidharma Patriarch actually came from this way. Moreover, my own opinion of Brahmanism is not bad, and the doctrinal differences between Brahmanism and orthodox Buddhism are still very large.

"The greatest credit for Patriarch Bodhidharma's entry into the Huaxia Kingdom is not the preaching he preached, but the martial arts he left behind in the Huaxia Kingdom. Shen Tianjun said: "Patriarch Bodhidharma is definitely a martial arts genius, it is he who pushed the martial arts of Huaxia Kingdom to a new height, and left too many unique learnings in Xiaolin Temple. These masteries, just like taking them out, can make a top master. And among these masteries he left, there is a set of martial arts that is the most powerful, it is said that it is the mastery of Bodhidharma Patriarch who has been facing the wall for nine years, and the power is superb. And the end of the world is one of the tricks in this set of martial arts. ”

"Bodhidharma Patriarch has been facing the wall for nine years, this is actually true?" Ye Qingqi said, facing the wall for seven years, this is not something that ordinary people can do. What kind of determination and perseverance does Patriarch Bodhidharma have to be able to face the wall for nine years without moving?

Shen Tianjun said: "Patriarch Bodhidharma has been facing the wall for nine years, this is a fact without any doubt. It's just that there are some rumors about his wall that may not be so accurate. ”

"What rumors?" Ye Qing asked.

Shen Tianjun was silent for a moment and said: "It is said that in the nine years that Patriarch Bodhidharma has been facing the wall, not only has he not left the cave for half a step, but even, in the past nine years, he has not eaten anything or drunk a little water. ”

"What!?" Ye Qing's eyes widened, this legend sounds too fake, right? If you haven't eaten or drunk for nine years, won't you starve to death?

Shen Tianjun spread his hands and said, "This is passed down by people, and there is no specific record of this. However, some people have indeed raised such a question, because the place where the Bodhidharma patriarch faces the wall is in the upper part of the middle peak of the Wuru Peak at the western foot of Songshan Mountain, and this place is extremely steep. Now that the mountain road has been built, it is better, and in ancient times, it was basically a difficult place for people to climb. Moreover, the cave facing the wall of the Bodhidharma Patriarch is in a natural cave not far from the top, I have been to see this hole, there is only one entrance, and the entrance is open on the top, the top of the cave is almost ten meters from the ground. If ordinary people want to go down, they must use a rope to climb, even if they are martial artists, unless they are top masters and can jump in, ordinary people will never be able to enter. It is precisely because of this position that some people have raised the question, no matter who it is, it is not easy to send food to Patriarch Bodhidharma. Therefore, some people suspect that Patriarch Bodhidharma may not have eaten anything in the past nine years!"

"This ...... This can't be, right?" Ye Qing only felt that his outlook on life was about to change, he scratched his head and said, "In this world, who can live so long without eating?"

"I don't think it's possible. Shen Tianjun nodded and said, "However, in ancient times, there were indeed some people who could go without eating or drinking for a long time. For example, when Zhang Sanfeng was more than 190 years old, he could only eat one meal every ten days. ”

Ye Qing had also heard about Zhang Sanfeng's affairs, but he had listened to it as a legend before, and he didn't take it seriously at all. And this time Shen Tianjun actually mentioned this matter, it seems that Shen Tianjun believes this matter. Could it be that there were really ancients who could go without eating for a long time? However, even if you don't eat for a long time, the legend of the Bodhidharma Patriarch is too ridiculous. If you don't eat for nine years, that's impossible!

"If you haven't eaten or drunk for nine years, won't you become a god?" Ye Qing muttered.

Shen Tianjun sighed softly, in fact, when he practiced martial arts to this point, many times he began to think, is there really a god in this world?

Ye Qing didn't know what Shen Tianjun was thinking, he asked: "By the way, Uncle Shen, when General Helian was fighting against that Yin Fairy, that Yin Fairy asked if General Helian's move was a shrinking of the Daomen. What the hell is this shrinking into inches?"

"Hehe......" Shen Tianjun chuckled and said, "She is right to ask so, it is rumored that the trick is close to the end of the world, and it is indeed from the Daomen to shrink into inches." Because, before Patriarch Bodhidharma faced the wall, he had entered the three gates of heaven, earth and man!"

"Huh?" Ye Qing was stunned again, Patriarch Bodhidharma had also entered the three gates of heaven, earth and man? What happened in that era? Patriarch Bodhidharma was a member of Buddhism, why did he enter the three gates of heaven, earth and man left by the Great Sage Guiguzi of the Daomen?

"Not many people know about these secrets, but it was the divine doctor An Shiping who told my grandfather. Shen Tianjun said: "After the divine doctor An Shiping entered the three gates of heaven, earth and man, he found the inscription left by the Bodhidharma patriarch inside. ”

"Is this true?" Ye Qing couldn't help but exclaim, what the divine doctor An Shiping said, it would definitely not be false.

"What inscription did Patriarch Bodhidharma leave inside?" Ye Qing asked curiously.

Shen Tianjun thought for a while and said, "Shrinking the ground into inches, I see, it's just a little trick and ......."

"And what?" Ye Qing hurriedly asked.

"Not in the back. Shen Tianjun said.

"No?" Ye Qingqi said: "He obviously didn't finish what he said, how could it be gone?"

Shen Tianjun said: "That's what the divine doctor An Shiping told me, and I was also very confused at the time, so I asked him specifically." The divine doctor An Shiping told me that all he saw was these words, and there were no words behind them. In other words, the line of Patriarch Bodhidharma has not been engraved. According to the context in which he said, I guess I just want to say it later. ”

"After carving so many words, in the end there is only one left, and he won't carve it?" Ye Qing said in surprise.

"That's the weirdest part. Shen Tianjun said: "At that time, the divine doctor An Shiping analyzed, it may be that the Bodhidharma Patriarch encountered something inside, and he didn't even engrave the last word, so he left in a hurry." ”

Ye Qing said: "What kind of situation can you encounter in the three gates of heaven, earth and man? There is no other person inside. ”

"I don't know. Shen Tianjun said: "I'm afraid only the person concerned knows best about this matter." Future generations, only by entering the three gates of heaven and earth and looking at the specific situation inside, can they guess the situation at that time. However, one thing is very certain, Patriarch Bodhidharma not only entered the three gates of heaven, earth and man, but also saw the shrinkage of the Dao Gate inside. Moreover, after the Bodhidharma Patriarch came out of the three gates of heaven, earth and man, he directly faced the wall for nine years, and created a new set of unique learning. Therefore, we have reason to suspect that his move to the end of the world was created from the shrinkage of the Daomen. ”

"Shrink the ground into inches?" Ye Qingqi said: "What kind of martial arts is this?"

"It is rumored to be a set of secrets of the Daomen, which has a very magical effect, which can shorten the distance, thousands of miles away, and can be reached in one step. Shen Tianjun said: "This is an introduction recorded by the ancients about shrinking the land into inches, but these records are basically from the wild history, and there is no official history to record these things, so it is not worth believing." However, one thing is certain, this shrinkage into inches is probably the formation theory of the Daomen. Take the stone formation outside as an example, if people who don't understand the formation walk inside, even if there is only such a small stone formation, the person who falls into it will probably not be able to walk out for the rest of his life. In the profound formation of the Daomen, it can really be said that there is a slight difference, and it will be lost for thousands of miles. Shrinking the ground into inches, nine times out of ten, it is the use of formations, and it is not really possible to go thousands of miles away in one step, which is simply impossible. ”

Listening to Shen Tianjun's explanation, Ye Qing was able to understand something. After all, he had practiced the footwork of the Tiangang Beidou Formation, and he knew very well the magic of the Daomen Formation. Even if it's just one step away, it's enough to change and be hard to guard against. If the theory of the formation is really used, then it is really possible.

"Is there any other move in this set of martial arts created by Patriarch Bodhidharma?" Ye Qing asked.

"I don't know the specific situation, these secrets are all said by the divine doctor An Shiping. Shen Tianjun thought for a while and said, "It is said that the light skill of Patriarch Bodhidharma crossing the river with a reed is also a move in this set of martial arts. ”R1148
