Chapter 534: Blending into Shaolin
Thinking of this, Cui Wenqing hugged his fists and said: "Two masters, this time I came to Shaolin Temple, my lady and I are full of sincerity, so, in order to show piety, I am willing to donate five hundred taels of incense money for Shaolin to thank you for your kindness, I don't know what you think?" ”
"Five...... Five hundred taels? ”
Such an astronomical amount suddenly frightened these two little monks who had never seen much of the world and had never been out of the mountain gate at all.
You must know that the incense money of Shaolin Temple for a whole year is only about 10,000 taels of silver, but I didn't expect this young donor to donate 500 taels of silver as soon as he opened his mouth, which is a very large amount, and for a while, these two little monks were naturally shocked.
After some surprise, the monk who was the senior brother bowed deeply and said with great dignity: "The donor has such a huge amount of money, the little monk really doesn't dare to make his own decisions, and asks the donor to wait here for a while, and the little monk will return to the temple to ask the master." With these words, he quickly turned around and ran away.
Seeing this, Cui Wenqing glanced at Zhi Zhao unexpectedly, and hinted: What's the matter, it's still easy to use money, right?
Zhi Zhao pursed his lips and smiled, obviously admiring his quick wit, and then couldn't help but glance at him.
About half an hour later, the little monk hurried back, and said to Cui Wenqing: "Amitabha, the Buddha family has upheld the heart of compassion, the two of them came from Luoyang to pray for blessings from hundreds of miles, it is really sincere, the little monk has asked the master, today I Shaolin Temple will make an exception to ask the two donors to go up the mountain to pray for blessings, please." ”
Hearing this, Cui Wenqing couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, smiled at Zhi Zhao, and said, "Lady, let's go." ”
The two followed the little monk, walked up the mountain step by step along the bluestone steps, and when they reached the halfway point of the mountain, they walked into a gravel path.
Shaolin Temple was built in the 19th year of Taihe in the Northern Wei Dynasty, which was built by Emperor Xiaowen in order to settle the Indian monk Batuo Venerable whom he admired, at the northern foot of Shaomu Mountain in Songshan Mountain, which is opposite the capital Luoyang.
Northern Wei Dynasty Xiaoming Emperor Xiaochang three years, Shakyamuni Buddha 28th generation of disciples Bodhidharma came to Shaolin Temple, he was created on the basis of Batuo, widely gathered believers, taught Zen Buddhism, Eastern Wei Xiaojing Emperor Tianping three years Dharma passed on to Hui Ke, since then Zen in Shaolin Temple has been spreading, so that's it, Shaolin Temple has also become the world's Buddhism authentic, Bodhidharma has become the patriarch.
After that, the Shaolin Temple became famous, and the incense was endless for hundreds of years, especially the founding emperor of the Great Qi Dynasty, Qi Taizu, was a disciple of the Shaolin layman, and was also raised by the Shaolin monks, so the status of the Shaolin Temple is more lofty, and it can be said to be second to none in the rivers and lakes, which is also incomparable to other martial arts sects.
Entering the gate of the temple, Cui Wenqing looked up, and could see that the temple's inner hall was everywhere, with iron horses tinkling and incense flourishing, just like the Buddha's kingdom of heaven.
And because the martial arts conference is about to start tomorrow, there are also many martial arts people in the temple, who are visiting the temple under the leadership of monks, and they are constantly laughing with each other.
Among them, Cui Wenqing also saw a few ragged beggars, no need to ask if they were also beggars, and I don't know if Yun Wanqiu would also come to participate in this martial arts conference in person?
The leading monk did not stay in the temple for long, and brought Cui Wenqing from the side gate of the mountain gate into a courtyard.
These courtyards are built next to each other, densely scattered in the woods, and if it were not tightly surrounded by red temple walls, they would really be as chic and quiet as those small courtyards in the mountains.
Just like this, the leading monk took the two of them to a courtyard, and performed a Buddha ceremony: "Amitabha, please ask the two donors to rest in this small courtyard first, these days there are a lot of martial arts colleagues outside the Shaolin Temple, and please ask the two donors not to walk around in vain except to go to the main hall to worship the Buddha, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble." ”
Cui Wenqing thanked him, and only after the leading monk left, did he enter the room with Zhi Zhao.
"Whew, I've finally blended in." Zhi Zhao put down the burden on his body, and he was obviously relieved.
Cui Wenqing said with a smile: "If you are on the same road, you can naturally get in, why should you worry, lady!" ”
Hearing him mention this, Zhi Zhao couldn't help but smile bitterly, and said with disgust: "Husband, you are really, you are full of lies to deceive those Buddhist disciples, and you also said that your mother is seriously ill, which is really ridiculous. ”
Cui Wenqing sat down and stretched out his legs in a comfortable posture, and said with a smile: "Lady, you don't understand this, brother, this is called resourceful, do everything, as long as you achieve your goal, why care about these details, could it be that you had a better way at that time?" ”
Zhi Zhao was right to think about it, and he didn't dwell on it, frowning and saying, "I don't know where the martial arts conference will be held?" Husband, why don't you go out and investigate? ”
Cui Wenqing bowed his head and said: "Okay, I'll go around and listen to the news, and you can wait for me in the room, lady." "Let's go out.
Leaving the small courtyard, Cui Wenqing walked lazily on the path connected to each other in the courtyard.
Probably because the scale of this martial arts conference is not small, and all the courtyards are full of all kinds of people from the rivers and lakes.
There are Taoist priests with fairy wind bones, there are also murderers with hideous appearances, and there are even heroes with righteous faces, which are really all kinds, which makes people dazzled.
Cui Wenqing remembered that Zhi Zhao once said that the style of the rivers and lakes began in the Tang Dynasty, and many of the current famous martial arts sects were also established in the Tang Dynasty, so since the Tang Dynasty, the style of rangers has been prosperous, and it is the same until the current era of Great Qi.
What's more worth mentioning is that Wulin Jianghu has always regarded the Ming Sect as a crooked way of demons, and many suppressions on it can be regarded as a great favor to the imperial court.
Cui Wenqing walked and looked, but did not find a suitable person to interrogate, he was about to turn around and look for another way, when he suddenly saw a few beggars walking out of a courtyard not far in front of him, talking about going out.
Looking at the outfits of these beggars, Cui Wenqing knew that these were disciples of the beggar gang, but he didn't know if they belonged to the Jiangbei beggar gang or the Jiangnan beggar gang, and he didn't know if Yun Wanqiu also came to Songshan this time?
was thinking about it for a while, Cui Wenqing suddenly saw a familiar old face among the beggars who came to him, and suddenly he was cold, his scalp was numb, and he almost turned around and fled.
Qiu Wanshan, who had not been seen for a long time, was in the midst of that group of beggars, and was talking to a beggar next to him at this time, with a somewhat serious expression, but fortunately he did not look towards the place where Cui Wenqing was, so he should not have been found.
After a short panic, Cui Wen quickly calmed down, pretended to be a passer-by and turned his head carelessly, and immediately smeared oil on the soles of his feet and slipped away.
After finally avoiding Qiu Wanshan, Cui Wenqing took a long breath, patted his chest and said to himself: "Fortunately, uncle, I slipped away quickly just now, if I was seen by that old bastard, I would definitely be in trouble." ”
At this moment, a female voice suddenly sounded in my ears: "Hehe, what are you panicking, with me protecting you, are you still afraid that he will not succeed?" ”
This sentence almost frightened Cui Wenqing to jump up, but when he turned around, he saw a beautiful woman standing under the tree not far away, with a green dress and green clothes that were indescribably dazzling and moving.
