Shaolin has been the first decent school in the Central Plains since ancient times, and it is the largest part of the Han martial arts system. As the saying goes, "the world's martial arts come out of Shaolin", this sentence proves how heavy Shaolin is.

Shaolin martial arts, there are more than 700 kinds of cheats, and they are all carefully selected for thousands of years, and there is no one that is indiscriminate.

Each cheat book makes many people in the rivers and lakes covetous, and among the more than 700 kinds of martial arts, there are 72 Shaolin stunts, which are famous all over the world.

Back then, Shaolin was located on Shaolin Mountain, which attracted hundreds of sects to compete for exchanges and exchanges, which was the blessing of the world's martial arts.

Therefore, in the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Sect was much more polite when it met Shaolin disciples than when it met other sects.

It's just that today, the real Shaolin is no longer in the Shaolin Mountain under the Wuru Peak of HN Songshan Mountain, and now the Shaolin Temple in Shaolin Mountain is just a packaged thing that has changed inside and out, just a tourist attraction.

is the so-called pure place of Buddhism, and it can't stand so many emotions and six desires. In ancient times, Shaolin Temple could only exchange Buddhist scriptures with outsiders, but did not accept incense. It is the temples everywhere that are worshipped by the world, not Shaolin.

Shaolin, as the ancestral court of Zen Buddhism in Han Buddhism, is a place to concentrate on studying Buddhism.

Today's real Shaolin is a place called Huatian Peak in the mountains, five hundred miles south of Songshan. It is rarely populated, the scenery is beautiful, and it is an excellent place for self-cultivation.

The Shaolin Temple, which was peaceful in the past, has become restless these days. All this is not because of anything else, but Tang Jue called five days ago, saying that he would visit the temple after five days.

If it was someone else, Shaolin would naturally ignore it, but Tang Jue was different, after the Jiangning incident was over, Master Xuanzhen had invited Tang Jue, hoping to go to Shaolin one day and communicate with each other.

Now that Tang Jue is coming, Shaolin attaches great importance to it, and in the past few days, even the first elders of each branch have gathered together and have been discussing something. This scene confused all the monks.

"Master, what are we going to do here?" A young monk asked curiously.

"Our Shaolin is coming to your guests!" The master hurriedly said, "The major elders attach great importance to it, don't ask so much, hurry up and work!" ”

In the Shaolin abbot's room, five monks in robes sat together and talked, these five monks are all senior monks of the Xuanzi generation, and there are more Master Xuanwen and Master Xuanzhen.

The five eminent monks are also the first of the Shaolin halls.

"Senior brother, in the past few days, we have almost made all the preparations that should be prepared, so Tang Jue will definitely not be able to find fault with us when he comes here!" Xuanjing, the first high monk of the Bodhi Temple, said to Xuanwen.

Since the death of the abbot Xuankong, a new abbot has not been elected, because Master Xuanwen has the highest rank and is the senior brother of everyone, so he is in charge of everything.

"That's good." Master Xuanwen nodded and said, "At the Hero Conference, we Shaolin were the most rude to Tang Jue, I don't know if this time he went up the mountain just to communicate, or to seek revenge." ”

Another senior monk of the Dharma Academy, Xuanyan, nodded after hearing this, and said, "In the past few days, it has been rumored in the rivers and lakes that what happened to the Sultan was done by Tang Jue, and I don't know if it is true or not, but if it is true, thousands of lives were lost at his hands, which shows that Tang Jue is by no means a soft-hearted person." ”

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the abbot's room was condensed again.

"What are you afraid of!" A high-ranking monk who looked a little grumpy said that this person was the first Xuanhong of the Prajna Hall, "Senior Brother Xuanwen's one hundred and eight Arhat Formation has been practicing in the past few days, and I have seen how powerful it is, no matter how strong Tang Jue is, it will never be possible to break through!" ”

"That's right." Xuanyan nodded and said, "It's a pity that Senior Brother Abbot has returned to the West, and his talent is dull, so he can't study the Vajra Demon Formation of the Dharma Academy thoroughly, otherwise it will make that Tang Jue unable to move." ”

All the monks nodded one after another, the Vajra Demon Suppression Array and the One Hundred and Eight Arhat Formation are equally powerful, with these two formations, Shaolin has no worries.

"Senior brothers." Suddenly, Master Xuanzhen, who had not spoken, spoke, and said with a wry smile, "I think this Tang Jue went up the mountain not necessarily to seek revenge, it should just want to exchange and learn." ”

Xuan Wenyan looked at Xuan Zhen and said, "If the senior brother has any opinions, you might as well say it directly." ”

"I have had a few encounters with Tang Jue, although he is not the kind of magnanimous person, but he can be regarded as a person with clear grievances. The most important thing is that this person is true to his word, he said that he is here to worship the Buddha, and he should be here to communicate and learn, not to seek revenge. Xuan Zhen said seriously, "If he is looking for revenge, he will definitely say it directly." ”

As soon as Xuan Zhen's words came out, a senior monk was not happy and said, "Senior Brother Xuan Zhen, are you stupid in the precept academy every day, and people are looking for revenge, do you want to tell you first?" ”

"Senior Brother......

"Needless to say!" Xuan Wen suddenly spoke, interrupting the conversation between the two, only to see him glance at Xuan Zhen and say, "What Senior Brother Xuan Zhen said is not impossible, but we must also plan for the worst, otherwise once something happens to Shaolin, we will become sinners through the ages." ”

"Yes, senior brother." All the monks said one after another.

At this moment, suddenly there was a rush of footsteps outside the door!

Soon, the footsteps stopped outside the door, followed by someone shouting loudly, "Uncles, Tang Jue has arrived at the foot of the mountain and is going up the mountain!" ”

All the monks were shocked, glanced at each other, and then nodded heavily.

"Brothers, today's events must show my Shaolin bearing, as long as Tang Jue's intentions are not bad, we must treat each other with courtesy!" Master Xuanwen stood up and said solemnly.

"Yes!"

——————

Huatian Peak, among the mountains, is full of smoke and clouds, like a fairyland.

From the foot of the mountain to the front of Shaolin, a total of 2,421 steps, around the mountain, straight to the sky.

Tang Jue walked in Huatian Peak, step by step, never going up the stairs.

The surrounding Shaolin is lush, with flowers and birds, completely isolated from the world, like a paradise.

This Huatian Peak is somewhat similar to the Shushan Mountain where the Tang Gate was located back then, and they all want to become an isolated immortal land. It's just that this Huatian Peak has a beautiful scenery and is easy to go up the mountain, while Shushan Mountain is thirty-seven times dangerous, and ordinary people are sad to pass the three levels.

A few meters ahead, a monk was leading the way. This monk was about fifteen or sixteen years old, and it could be seen from the breath that his martial arts were not high, and even very weak.

If it was another sect, although Tang Jue didn't say it in his mouth, he had to despise it in his heart. But Shaolin, Tang would never have such thoughts.

Shaolin is different from all other sects. Because in the eyes of Buddhism, Zen participation is the right way, with the purpose of cultivating the mind and becoming a Buddha with an epiphany, and martial arts are only accessory. Even if you practice martial arts, you must enter martial arts with Zen and practice martial arts, so there is also a saying of "martial arts Zen".

That is to say, from ancient times to the present, Shaolin has never regarded the so-called "Shaolin martial arts" and "seventy-two stunts" as anything important, just to strengthen the body and protect Zen Buddhism, but even so, the martial arts of Shaolin monks are so strong that all the major schools in the Central Plains dare not make times.

"Little Master, I don't know what to call it?" Tang Jue asked out loud.

"The little monk Dharma is called pure heart." I saw that the little monk hurriedly stopped after hearing the words, and said to Tang Jue very politely.

But Tang Jue could see that this little monk seemed to be a little afraid of him.

Tang Jue didn't want to embarrass people more, since the other party was afraid of him, then he shouldn't mess with others anymore.

Following behind Jingxin, after about a quarter of an hour, he vaguely saw the Shaolin Temple.

Shaolin is hidden in the mountain mist, but it also looks extraordinarily grand.

After a while, the two of them came to a short distance outside the temple gate.

In front of the temple gate, there are five senior monks standing in the front, and the momentum is the most prosperous. Behind him are more than a dozen monks who seem to have the same qualifications, but they should not be as good as these five in status.

Further on, there are some younger, younger monks, but all over fifty years old, looking imposing.

Among these five eminent monks, two Tang Jue have seen them.

When Jingxin brought Tang Jue to the temple gate, he hurriedly came to Xuan Wen, bowed his head and said, "The guest has been brought." ”

After finishing speaking, he hurriedly retreated to the corner.

At this time, Tang Jue was already standing in front of everyone.

Looking at at at least a hundred monks outside the temple gate, Tang Jue's expression was serious, and he did not mean to slack off at all.

The wind in the mountains blew, and hundreds of monks looked at Tang Jue, raising a trace of Buddha's will.

I saw that Tang never hurriedly raised his hands, clenched his fists in front of his chest, and bowed deeply.

After getting up, I only heard him say loudly, "Junior Tang Jue, I have come to worship the mountain." ”

The voice was clear and loud, and the voice was heard far away, even echoing in the valley.

He didn't add the slightest internal force to it, just pure confidence.

Among the huge monks in Shaolin, I saw Xuanwen take a step forward, folded his hands, and said clearly, "Amitabha, the visit of Lord Tang to our temple is the glory of our temple." ”

"Master Xuanwen is too modest." Tang Jue put down his hands and said with a smile, "Shaolin's reputation for thousands of years stands in martial arts, and the younger generations admire Shaolin very much. ”

Regardless of whether Tang Jue's words were sincere or not, but he gave enough face in front of a hundred monks, even Xuan Wen rarely laughed, at least he knew that Tang Jue came this time, not to seek revenge.

"Now the name of Lord Tang is like thunder." Xuan Wen said with a smile, "The poor monk will introduce a few of my junior disciples to Master Tang, and they are also the first of the main halls of my temple. ”

"There's Master Lao Xuanwen." Tang Jue said politely.
