Shaolin Temple is not only a family in the Central Plains, there is also a South Shaolin in Fujian, in its heyday and Songshan Shaolin Temple and called the North and South Shaolin, but now in people's sight, South Shaolin has long ceased to be glorious, and Songshan Shaolin is gradually prosperous, especially under the leadership of the current abbot Shi Yongxin to develop economic tourism, while promoting Buddhism, the reputation of Shaolin Temple spread abroad.

Shi Yongxin is said to have a disciple named Shi Xiaolong, who is also a talented martial arts wizard, but after returning to the world, he gradually indulged in the world, and his strength gradually declined, and he was no longer famous.

The world's martial arts are out of Shaolin. Although this sentence is a bit exaggerated, it also shows the breadth and profundity of Shaolin stunts to a certain extent, and even Shang Longyun, the eldest son of the Shang family with a long history, cultivates Shaolin martial arts.

Seventy-two kinds of stunts and a variety of brave or clever sticks, guns, knives, fists, swordsmanship, etc., can be said to be famous in the spiritual martial arts world, but although there are a large number of scriptures, but there are not many people in Shaolin Temple who have really achieved cultivation.

Chen Xiuyuan thought about the information about Shaolin Temple obtained from the dragon soul, and walked into the gate of the temple with the bustling flow of people, the gate of Shaolin Temple is a little simple and vicissitudes, revealing the breath of thousands of years, as soon as Chen Xiuyuan entered, he saw a Buddha statue, which was offered on the Buddha shrine, and the big belly was always smiling, this is the Buddha who is all happy, in fact, it is the Maitreya Buddha. It is the same as the Maitreya Buddha that Chen Xiuyuan saw in Leshan before. It's just that the shape is completely different.

The big Buddha of Leshan is extremely grandiose, and the Maitreya Buddha in front of him is a little funny, but also more cordial and amiable, this Buddha statue is offered at the entrance of the mountain gate, as long as it is the first sight of the tourists who come here to play is this Buddha statue. So although many people don't stay here too long, there is some willingness on it.

No matter how small the ant is, it is also meat, although there is already a surging wish power in his mind that has almost become sticky, Chen Xiuyuan still unceremoniously took away the wish power in this Buddha statue, anyway, it is a waste to keep it, it is better to cheapen him, the strength of those old Shaolin monks is not very good at all. When he first went up the mountain, Chen Xiuyuan searched the entire Shaomu Mountain with his divine thoughts, and only found a few places with a faint Zen feeling, although the aura emitted was also very powerful, but it was not taken by Chen Xiuyuan in his eyes, not even a heaven-level level, which really made Chen Xiuyuan feel disappointed.

"Has the martial arts inheritance of the thousand-year-old temple declined?"

Shaking his head and sighing, Chen Xiuyuan didn't stop, and continued to rush to the Heavenly King Hall inside, and easily took away the slightly thicker wish power on the several Buddha statues enshrined in the Heavenly King Palace.

When Chen Xiuyuan came to the Daxiong Treasure Hall, he couldn't help but feel a burst of surprise, he didn't feel a strong faith and willingness outside, but when he entered the Daxiong Treasure Hall, the statues of Shakyamuni, Amitabha Buddha and Medicine Buddha enshrined in the hall actually emerged with surging faith and willingness, and they were condensed but not dispersed, as if they were shrinking into the Buddha statue, and the statue of Guanyin hanging behind the screen wall, the eighteen Arhat statues on both sides seemed to be a little dwarfed, and the wish power was dim, almost nothing.

Maybe these Arhat statues are stained with the light of the three Buddhas in order to gather some willpower.

An old monk sat quietly beside the three Buddhas and recited the scriptures, knocking on the wooden fish, the clear Sanskrit sound flowed in the heart like flowing water, making people have a feeling of calm and clear mind when they heard it, as if in the moment all the prosperous red dust and smoke of the past have passed away with the Sanskrit sound, and all kinds of pain and sorrow and joy in the world have become insignificant.

Several pilgrims were also obviously affected by Zen, and they offered incense to the three Buddhas with a solemn and solemn face, and respectfully whispered the scriptures in front of the Buddha statues.

This old Zen master is not simple, although Chen Xiuyuan, who has now practiced a little Zen Sutra of Silence, has not yet reached the point of vision, but it can also be seen that this old Zen master has the same power as Ji Shanxing, but this power has a faint will, and more is a vast Buddha power.

"Sure enough, it's a master!" Chen Xiuyuan was amazed in his heart.

The Buddha's mental power is not only through the power of the wish to be able to practice, there is also a way to rely on one's own experience of the Dharma, and constantly comprehend the true meaning of the Dharma, for a long time with a deep understanding, it can naturally come naturally, refining the Buddha's mental power, this kind of Buddha's mental power is difficult to integrate with the wishing force, but it is a little stronger in quality, but it also loses a higher cultivation space. Compared with the method of making great wishes and receiving the wishes of sentient beings, it is still a lot worse than the method of making great wishes and receiving the wishes of sentient beings. After all, the Zen Sutra of Silence can be cultivated almost forever. Only by having sufficient faith and providing enough faith power can the power of wish be endless, and then it can be transformed into the power of the Buddha's mind.

After waiting for a while, the old Zen master finally finished reciting the scriptures, and Chen Xiuyuan approached a few steps and bowed to the old Zen master.

"Master, excuse me!"

"Amitabha! This benefactor, I don't know what to ask?" The old Zen master was kind and kind-eyed, his eyes were ancient, and there always seemed to be a faint smile on his face, and all beings were equal in his eyes.

"The kid is presumptuous, I want to find the abbot master to tell you something!"

"Master Abbot is busy all day long, busy with the affairs of the temple, and may not have time to meet the benefactor. If there is anything, the donor can tell the poor monk, and the poor monk will tell him on his behalf. The poor monk is called eternal life!"

A different color emerged from Shi Yongsheng's eyes, and he quickly regained his composure, and explained to Chen Xiuyuan gently.

Shaking his head, Chen Xiuyuan said, "I'm not looking for Master Shi Yongxin, but for the abbot master of the inner courtyard." ”

"The abbot of the inner courtyard!" Shi Yongsheng's eyes sparkled, and he looked at Chen Xiuyuan carefully, and then asked suspiciously, "I don't know who the donor is?"

"This matter is a long story, I am Chen Xiuyuan, a member of the Dragon Soul, and I am entrusted by Master Shi Chan to explain important things to the abbot master. ”

Chen Xiuyuan explained, and at the same time, the jade plate of the dragon soul was shown in his hand, and the faint aura of the dragon soul on it emanated.

Chen Xiuyuan said that the abbot of the inner courtyard is not Shi Yongxin, Shi Yongxin is only the abbot of the outer courtyard of Shaolin who is in charge of the communication between Shaolin Temple and the secular and the development of Shaolin Temple;

"Shi Zen Patriarch!" Shi Yongsheng exclaimed, the surprise in his eyes had completely turned into shock, as an old Zen master with extremely high qualifications, of course he recognized that the dragon soul jade plate in Chen Xiuyuan's hand was real, and at the same time, coupled with Chen Xiuyuan's strong rise, he had heard of his reputation more or less, and immediately believed Chen Xiuyuan's words, and couldn't help asking: "How is it possible, could it be that the Zen Ancestor Shi is still alive now?"

"The master misunderstood, I just got the soul inheritance of Master Shi Chan by luck, and before Master Shi Chan's soul dissipated, I promised him that the old man would send back to Shaolin the Dharma that he had spent his whole life studying!"

"Amitabha!" Shi Yongsheng's face suddenly became extremely sad, and he pronounced a Buddha name heavily, and then hurriedly saluted Chen Xiuyuan, stretched out his hand, and didn't care whether what Chen Xiuyuan said was true or false, and hurriedly explained that a little monk greeted the pilgrims in front, and he took Chen Xiuyuan to see the abbot of the inner courtyard.

Walking through the corridors, Chen Xiuyuan followed Shi Yongsheng to a hidden valley in the back mountain of Shaolin, Shi Yongsheng explained the situation to the disciples guarding the mountain, and then waited quietly outside the valley with Chen Xiuyuan.

After a while, several white-haired old monks hurriedly rushed over from the valley, and as soon as they saw Shi Yongsheng, they couldn't wait to ask, "Yongsheng, what you said is true?"

At the same time, the eyes of the old monk who took the lead fell on Chen Xiuyuan's body, and he was a little excited.

"Uncle Qiqi, this matter is the battle soul of this dragon soul, the disciple did not dare to have a trace of slackness, and hurriedly brought him here. ”

"Kid Chen Xiuyuan, I've seen the master. Lighting up the dragon soul jade card, Chen Xiuyuan saw through the other party's strength at a glance, there were three of them who were heaven-level, although the others did not reach the heaven-level, but seeing that they were full of essence and blood, and their momentum was majestic, if they really started, the general heaven-level beginner may not be able to take them down. At this time, Chen Xiuyuan put away his contempt for Shaolin, and those who had the strength went inside to meditate.

"The old man is righteous, please in the benefactor!" Knowing that Chen Xiuyuan's identity was true, the old monk hurriedly and solemnly invited Chen Xiuyuan to the valley.

There is a small lake in the center of the valley, quiet and cool, there are several wooden houses built in rows on the lakeside, the middle one is the largest, and General Shi Xingyi led Chen Xiuyuan and several of his junior disciples into the large wooden house.

The room was very spacious, there were no beds and chairs, only a few cleaned very bright stone benches, and when Chen Xiuyuan sat down under Shi Xingyi's signal, Shi Xingyi couldn't wait to ask: "I don't know how the donor got the soul inheritance of my twenty-second generation patriarch Master Shi Chan?" Master Shi Chan has disappeared since the succession, and there has never been any news. ”

"Hmph, I know you won't believe it. Chen Xiuyuan shrugged, but he could also understand their thoughts, anyone who was suddenly told that a person who disappeared hundreds of years ago was not completely dead, it would not be so easy to believe.

Chen Xiuyuan did not hide it, he inadvertently touched the Buddha statue in the Mogao Grottoes and then entered the inside of the Buddha statue, how to see Shi Chan, and then got Shi Chan's entrustment, and finally Shi Chan passed on all his soul memories to Chen Xiuyuan, and so on A series of things, Shi Xingyi and several other old monks all looked at each other, their eyes showed excitement, and there was also a faint sadness and pain. They basically believed Chen Xiuyuan's words, and they all remembered the deeds of the Buddha's apparition that came to Dunhuang recently, and they were even more convinced.

And Chen Xiuyuan didn't stop there, he took advantage of the silence of a few people, and there was a surge in his soul, and then a golden light appeared in front of everyone, it was the soul image of Shi Zen, and a stream of thoughts was conveyed to Shi Xingyi's mind, although it was very short, but it also confirmed what Chen Xiuyuan said.

"Amitabha!"

Several people recited the mantra of transcendence, and mourned for the death of Shi Chan for a long time, and even Chen Xiuyuan felt a wave of sorrow in his heart.
