Chapter 341: Shaolin Temple
Shaolin Temple is located on Songshan Mountain, Shaolin Temple at this time is not as famous as later generations, but it is still very influential in Luoyang. The current Shaolin presiding officer is the abbot of Hui'an, but the most famous Shaolin Temple is the Tanzong monk, he is strong in martial arts, and he often eliminates violence around the Shaolin Temple, which is praised by people.
When Li Xin arrived at the Shaolin Temple, the abbot of Hui'an personally greeted him, and Li Xin also saw the thirteen stick monks carved on the Shaolin wall later. People like Zhishou and Zhicao are all strong martial artists, and Li Xin feels a pressure on them. Tanzong was still standing there as if it were a mountain.
"Governor, this is a dog who is thrifty." Pei Renjie also saw his wife and son, he pulled a young man and introduced to Li Xin, Li Xin glanced at the other party, and saw that he was very similar to Pei Yuanqing, but the other party did not hold a double hammer in his hand, but a long lance, nodded happily, and said: "General Pei's father and son are really masters!" ”
"Thank you for the compliment." Pei Renji was very happy in his heart, thought about it and said: "The Grand Dudu, the benevolence and benevolence of the abbot of Hui'an, is very famous around the Shaolin Temple, and many poor people have received the favor of the abbot of Hui'an. ”
"Hehe, General Pei has won the award, I just wait for the monks, the monks are compassionate, and do what they can." Abbot Hui'an laughed when he heard this.
"Master Abbot, in this era, it is enough to do what you can, but some people do not do what they can, but do something they shouldn't do! is also an outsider, I really don't understand why there is such a big difference? Li Xin said pointedly.
Master Hui'an was stunned when he heard this, but quickly understood, nodded to Li Xin, and said, "Guogong, please." ”
"Master, please." When Li Xin saw Master Hui'an's appearance, he immediately knew that there was hope for his affairs today. The two entered the Shaolin Temple together, which was antique. However, it is not as magnificent as the Buddhist temples in Daxing City, and it is not even comparable to the Buddhist temples in Lanzhou City. But Li Xin saw the vitality in this temple, and there were bursts of Buddhist scriptures in his ears from time to time, and he could even see one or two warrior monks practicing martial arts.
"Now bandits are rampant, although the Shaolin Temple is poor, but the Buddhism has many scriptures and classics again, and can not be harassed by bandits, so the old man is ready to let the monks in the temple practice martial arts, on the one hand, the body is strong, and on the other hand, it can also protect the safety of the temple." Master Hui'an saw that Li Xin was very interested in these warrior monks. Quickly explained.
Li Xin looked at the boxing technique used by the master was simple and generous, and the movements were coherent. Shoot up, middle and down, inside and outside into yin and yang; Break down above, break up below; Pointing to the right to the left, the sound of the east hitting the west; Fiction and reality are uncertain, fast and changeable. It's very good, I don't know if it's a Shaolin stunt Luohan boxing. Li Xin suddenly pointed to a warrior monk not far away, and said with some curiosity. The most basic thing in Shaolin is Luohan boxing, and Li Xin has watched a lot of it on TV before. As soon as he saw that warrior monk practicing boxing, he spoke.
"It is the eighteen Arhat hands created by Patriarch Bodhidharma." Master Hui'an nodded.
"I wonder if these eighteen Arhat hands can be passed on? Li Xin wanted to promote these eighteen Arhats in the army. Li Xin hesitated for a while and said, "Li Xin is willing to support Buddhism in the northwest, as long as he follows the rules of my northwest." The development of Buddhism will definitely not be squeezed, and in the future, wherever Li Xin's forces go, Buddhism will be able to develop healthily. ”
Master Hui'an was stunned when he heard this. Although the Eighteen Arhat Hand was passed down by Bodhidharma, Shaolin did not want to treasure it as a stunt and could not be passed on. Li Xin actually attached so much importance to Luohan Boxing, and paid such a big price for it, which he did not expect, but he soon understood that Li Xin actually asked Buddhism to go west, enter the northwest or enter Guanzhong in the future, and resist the development of Taoism.
Thinking of this, Master Hui'an suddenly remembered that not long ago, Li Xin killed the Qihui Daoist of Louguan Dao in the northwest, which caused a huge reaction from the Daomen, and some people even cursed Li Xin, of course, most of these people were Daomen.
This is an opportunity for Buddhism, especially for Shaolin. Although Shaolin has been famous since the arrival of Patriarch Bodhidharma, if it is about influence, Hui An thinks that it is not enough, if he can catch Li Xin's carriage, he may be able to develop faster.
"Thank you, Grand Duke. Lao Wei asked people to pass on the secret of the eighteen Arhats to the guards who beat the governor. When Master Hui'an thought of this, his spirit suddenly lifted up, and he hurriedly said.
"There may be many shortcomings in on-site teaching, Li Xin wants to invite Master Tanzong to go to the northwest, I wonder if Master Abbot is willing to let him go? Master, please rest assured, after a year, as long as Tanzong is willing, Li Xin will definitely let Tanzong go back to Shaolin. Li Xin once again drew a big pie in the void, as for whether Tanzong would not come back after a year, Li Xin did not think about it, he believed that with his means and the Northwest Army, he would definitely let Tanzong stay in the Northwest, if there is such a martial arts master to be a martial arts instructor for the Western Army, the overall quality of the Western Army will definitely be greatly improved, and it will definitely be able to surpass other warlords in terms of individual strength.
Abbot Hui'an thought for a while, glanced at Li Xin deeply, and then said to Tanzong: "Tanzong, the Metropolitan Governor wants to invite you to Lanzhou to teach his soldiers, are you willing to go?" ”
"Listen to the abbot." Tan Zong was still the same as before, his face remained unchanged, and he stood there quietly. He is by nature like this, and he will not change his face in the face of anything.
"That's good. Then you go to the Northwest! Master Hui'an also said without hesitation. Since he wants to invest in Li Xin and exchange for greater benefits for Shaolin Temple, Master Hui'an will not care whether Shaolin's stunts will be obtained by others.
"The army is only based on Luohan boxing, if someone is willing to join the Shaolin sect, the master can teach other stunts." Li Xin said to Tan Zong with a smile. He believed that such a deal, Master Hui'an would definitely be willing to do so.
"Buddhism is vast and universal. If you enter my Shaolin sect, you can make your own decisions. Master Hui'an nodded, he saw Li Xin's sincerity, let those military disciples enter the Shaolin sect, if someone becomes a general or even a general in the future, it is a period of incense with the Shaolin Temple, which can also play a positive role in the future development of the Shaolin Temple.
"Master Abbot, there is one thing Li Xinde wants to explain, Buddhism can be developed, but it must be developed appropriately, and there can be no 'four hundred and eighty temples in the Southern Dynasty'!" Li Xin suddenly said with a smile.
After hearing this, Master Hui'an, who was very happy just now, suddenly changed his complexion. The four hundred and eighty temples of the Southern Dynasty refer to the time of the confrontation between the north and the south, the rise of Buddhism in the south, countless temples have been established, the power of Buddhism has been unprecedentedly improved, and the major temples have encroached on fertile land and amassed wealth. Li Xin supported Buddhism's actions in the northwest, but he definitely did not want to cultivate a force to compete with the secular regime.
"The old man understands." After Master Hui'an's choice, he quickly calmed down, Buddhism is to be prosperous, not a short period of prosperity, after the emperor's move to destroy Buddha, at that time, Buddhism will suffer heavy losses. He also knew that a man like Li Xin would never let his subordinates surpass him.
Although Li Xin will restrict the development of Buddhism, it is definitely much better than Buddhism being suppressed by Taoism, especially in recent years, with the decline of the Great Sui regime, in the land of Guanzhong, many powerful families have begun to believe in Taoism, Li Xin killed a Taoist priest The reason why he was so greatly affected is a clear proof, which means that the strength of Louguan Dao in Guanzhong is getting stronger and stronger, and the Buddhism in Daxing City will be replaced by Taoism sooner or later.
"Master Tanzong, in the future, you will be the head of my Western Army." Li Xin smiled and agreed, supporting Buddhism against Louguandao, this is an achievement, let Tanzong go out as the head of the Western Army, this is probably an unexpected thing.
"Obey the Governor." Tan Zong's face remained unchanged, but he only saluted Li Xin.
"It's not easy for the Metropolitan Governor to get to the Shaolin Temple, it's better to rest here for a while, although I see the Metropolitan Governor's face ruddy, but his qi and blood are still a little insufficient, have you been injured recently?" Master Hui'an comforted: "My Shaolin has a high-quality healing medicine, it is better for the Metropolitan Governor to rest here for a while, and it is not too late to leave the Shaolin Temple after he recovers!" ”
"If I stay in Shaolin Temple, I'm afraid those people in Luoyang City will feel uncomfortable." Li Xin shook his head and smiled bitterly. At this time, Xingyang has been lost, and the only thing that Luoyang can defend is the Tiger Prison Pass, how many soldiers and horses Liu Changgong has left, Li Xin doesn't know, but those people in Luoyang know that Li Xin has 6,000 elites, and these elite troops are in the hands of Li Xin, but they can do many things. He looked at Princess Nanyang sitting in the distance and said, "Master, I'm afraid I'm going back to the northwest, and the next time I come to Shaolin Temple, I'm afraid it will be a few years later." ”
"Hmm." Master Hui'an nodded, beckoned the little novice behind him, and then said a few words to him gently, and saw the little novice take out a brocade box after half a ring, and the monk Hui'an opened the box and said: "This is some medicinal materials secretly made by the Shaolin Temple, which has some effect on the injuries of the Dadu Governor, after the Dadu Governor takes it, I believe that he will soon be able to recover his health, and it is exactly the same as before, and there are some prescriptions that have some effects on the march and the treatment of external injuries, and please accept the Dadu Governor's smile." ”
Li Xin took it, and saw that there was a porcelain bottle in the brocade box, and there were a few pills in the bottle, which were supposed to be used to treat his injuries, and a few pieces of paper. Among them, Li Xin paid the most attention to marching and scattering, which was a prescription for treating water and soil inadaptability, which was very useful for marching and fighting.
