Chapter 492: Spring and Autumn Broadsword!
I suddenly thought that Brother Yao could make a big knife, could it be that he also learned it in Biyun Temple?
The old monk nodded and said yes, then closed his eyes again, knocked on the wooden fish and chanted, all of which were in Sanskrit, and I couldn't understand what he was reciting, but looked at Brother Yao in surprise.
Yao Ge pulled me, motioned me not to disturb the abbot, followed by the Buddha statue with his hands folded, and then knelt down in front of the Buddha statue.
When I saw Brother Yao's appearance, I thought that it was not wrong to learn from Brother Yao, so I knelt down immediately.
Kneeling on the ground, looking at the Buddha statue again, I felt even more solemn, and my heart couldn't help but be solemn.
Brother Yao seemed to be repenting, and it took a while before he got up, then took out a check that had already been written from his pocket, respectfully placed it in front of the old monk, and was about to turn around and withdraw.
The old monk suddenly opened his eyes and said, "Chen Yao, you have donated a lot of sesame oil money over the years. ”
Brother Yao said respectfully: "I have never forgotten for a day that I was adopted by the abbot to survive. ”
The old monk sighed: "There are many disciples in Biyun Temple over the years, but there are not many who come back after going out, and there is not a single one like you." It's really embarrassing, although I am the abbot, but I have not been able to restore the former glory of Biyun Temple. ”
Brother Yao smiled: "Abbot don't blame yourself, you have done a good job, Abbot, I haven't been back for a long time, wander around." ”
The old monk nodded and closed his eyes again.
I looked at the check in front of him, and I saw that it was not small, it was as much as 300,000.
To be honest, Brother Yao's current income level is not as good as mine, and after stepping down from the position of hall master, he has no stable income, and 300,000 yuan is not a small amount for him.
Besides, I heard from Brother Yao's words that Brother Yao is not an official disciple of Biyun Temple, but just a handyman of Biyun Temple, that is, he is responsible for carrying water and chopping firewood, and it is not easy to do this.
Brother Yao and I withdrew from the Daxiong Treasure Hall and told me a lot of things that I didn't know before.
Brother Yao's skills in using the big knife were really learned from Biyun Temple, but the big knife used in Biyun Temple was slightly different from Brother Yao's, it was a Spring and Autumn Broadsword, but the difference was also very small, and the skills used were almost the same.
Brother Yao said that after he left Biyun Temple, he never used the Spring and Autumn Broadsword, the purpose was not to let people know that the relationship between him and Biyun Temple was afraid of causing trouble to Biyun Temple.
I couldn't help but ask Brother Xia Yao with curiosity, how many monks are there in Biyun Temple now?
Brother Yao told me with some sighs that there were only more than 20 monks in the most glorious time of the entire Biyun Temple in these years, and many of them couldn't stand the hard life here after staying in the Biyun Temple for a while, and left the Biyun Temple and never came back.
I'm afraid that there are not many now, and it will not exceed ten at most.
Brother Yao then took me to visit the temple, the whole Biyun Temple is very large, but because there is no one, it seems to be extremely empty.
We visited more than a dozen buildings along the way, and Brother Yao was able to introduce their origins and the famous people who lived in them.
In fact, Biyun Temple has such a glorious history, it should have a high development space, if the old monk is flexible, to attract tourists, he will be able to make a lot of money, Biyun Temple will not fall to this point.
But Brother Yao told me that Biyun Temple is actually a taboo, don't forget, now the royal family of the Republic of Dayan is still the Murong family, and the traitor in Biyun Temple was a traitor back then, which almost led to the stain of the country's demise Unless the Murong family falls, the case will never be overturned.
When I heard Brother Yao's words, I sighed slightly, although it is said to be a constitutional monarchy, the royal family still has great authority.
Moreover, after so many years of official guidance, most people have no good impression of Biyun Temple.
Walking to the backyard, I finally saw a few figures, a group of fifteen or sixteen-year-old little monks were practicing martial arts in the courtyard, some were practicing sticks, some were practicing iron head skills, some were hitting wooden stakes, and one was practicing crescent shovel.
Brother Yao told me again that the Spring and Autumn Broadsword is as unpopular as the crescent shovel, and now few people choose it.
The person in charge of supervising the scene was a middle-aged monk, who was about the same age as Brother Yao.
When the middle-aged monk saw Brother Yao, he greeted him with a smile and said, "Senior brother, you haven't been here for many years, I thought you had gone to see the Buddha." ”
Brother Yao smiled: "I haven't even gone to see the Buddha yet, don't curse me." ”
The middle-aged monk smiled, and then said, "Senior brother, did you bring me a gift this time?" ”
Brother Yao smiled: "You, just hang a gift." This time I came in a hurry, I didn't bring it, let's go, let's talk to the side. ”
I followed Brother Yao and then walked to the side to talk to the middle-aged monk, and the middle-aged monk chatted with Brother Yao for a while, and Brother Yao introduced me to the middle-aged monk, saying that I was his brother, and helped me introduce the middle-aged monk.
The middle-aged monk is named Chen, and Brother Yao is the same generation, and the bald donkey who quits color is a generation younger than Brother Chen and Brother Yao.
After chatting for a while, Brother Yao had no intention of mentioning the abstinence, and he was resentful when he was on the dust, saying that the abstinence was not a thing at all, and he came to Biyun Temple to learn the crescent shovel method of Biyun Temple.
Brother Yao asked Chen, what trouble did the abstinence cause to Biyun Temple?
Lichen said that he had insulted a woman during the period of Biyun Temple, and then the woman came up and made a big noise, and it was not easy to settle it.
Brother Yao said: "Jiese has now gone to Liangchuan City, joined the club, and became the hall master, and he is very good. ”
Lichen said: "That kind of scum deserves retribution." By the way, senior brother, are you here this time to ask about the abstinence? ”
Brother Yao said: "No, I came here mainly to bring Xiao Kun here to have a look, maybe I won't be able to come in the future." ”
Lichen frowned and said, "What, do you have something?" ”
Brother Yao frowned and said, "I may have to go abroad, and I won't be able to come in the future." By the way, Dust, you do me a favor. ”
Lichen said, "What's busy? ”
Brother Yao said, "Help me build a big knife, like mine." ”
Lichen said, "What are you going to do with that kind of big knife?" Is your one broken? ”
Brother Yao said: "It's not for me, it's for Xiao Kun." I'm going abroad, and I'm a little worried about him, and I plan to teach him knife techniques so that he can protect himself. ”
"Well, yes, but it takes three days to build." ”
Brother Yao thought for a while and said, "Okay, we'll pick it up in three days." ”
Lichen then asked me what I wanted.
I thought of Brother Yao's Daguan knife, and I thought it was very good, so I told the dust that it was similar to Brother Yao's.
Brother Yao asked me: "You also have to consider the weight, can you grasp it if it is too heavy?" ”
I knew that the knife that the monk of Biyun Temple personally made for me was naturally extraordinary, and it was definitely different from the one I bought outside, so it was impossible to change it in the future, so I said, "It's still a little troublesome now, and I will definitely be able to use it in the future." ”
Lichen looked at me and said with a smile: "Senior brother's Daguan knife is almost a hundred catties, you can also use it?" ”
I said, "It's definitely not easy now, but I believe it will definitely work in the future." By the way, master, it would be best if it could be disassembled, and it would be easy to carry around. ”
Lichen said, "You're making it more difficult for me." ”
Brother Yao smiled: "Xiao Kun is my best brother, you can help." ”
Lichen said: "Senior brother has spoken, of course you can." ”
After understanding our requirements, Lichen began the preparations for the construction, asked the two little monks to go down the mountain to fetch water, and called a few others to help him.
I was very curious and wanted to go with me to have a look, but I was stopped by Brother Yao, who said that this was the secret of Biyun Temple, and outsiders should not be present, and even he failed to learn to build weapons.
Then Brother Yao took me to visit other places, the most impressive thing to me is the back of the Tallinn, according to Brother Yao, these Tallinn is actually the tomb of the monks of the Biyun Temple in the past dynasties, after the death of the famous monk in the temple, the ashes will be buried here, the tower is built on it, in order to show merit, the height of the tower, the size and the number of layers, mainly according to the monk's Buddhist attainments, prestige, merit to decide.
It is generally from level 1 to 7, with a height of about 15 meters, and has different shapes and is very distinctive.
I took a casual look, only to see that there were a lot of seventh-level pagodas in Tallinn, so you can imagine how beautiful Biyun Temple was in the past.
