"Amitabha. Everything has a way of doing things, like a dream bubble, like dew and electricity, and should be viewed as such. Liu Shizhu also asked for condolences. An old voice sounded behind Liu Baoen.

None of the people present noticed when an old monk stood behind Liu Baoen. This old monk is the abbot of the White Horse Temple, and he has had several encounters with Liu Baoen, "Master, these words in the "Diamond Sutra", I used to only think that I had already understood it, but when it fell on myself, I really couldn't see through it!" ”

The old monk smiled, "Master Liu, since you are a person who believes in my Buddha, why should you be burdened by these fame, fortune and love, why don't you stay away from the red dust, take refuge in Buddhism like the old man, and from then on, the ancient Buddha of the green light, this life?" ”

Liu Baoen muttered: "Don't hide it from the master, Master Pudu of Kaifeng Daxiangguo Temple also said that I have a relationship with Buddhism and have nothing to do with Hongchen. Perhaps all this is God's arrangement, so that I can survive these tribulations in the mortal world, and from now on stay away from the red dust and escape into the empty door with all my heart. It's just that although my resignation is small, I'm afraid that more people will be in dire straits......"

The old monk nodded, "Amitabha, Lord Liu, save the people from fire and water, what is the difference between being at home and being a monk." Is it only by being an official that the people of the whole world can live and work in peace and contentment? My Buddha is compassionate, as long as the monks practice the Dharma diligently, they will eventually be able to cut off their afflictions, transcend birth, death and suffering, and transform sentient beings! ”

Liu Baoen suddenly felt Huigen shake, and he had an unprecedented clarity on the spiritual platform at this time. He stood up and smiled and bowed, "Thank you for your advice, I understand!" I will go back to Kaifeng to resign, and from then on I became a monk in Shaolin and fulfilled the last wish of Master Pudu. ”

He raised his head, where was there an old monk in front of him, he had long since disappeared, and then the old monk sent a message to him, "Master Liu, all this has been arranged in the dark, maybe it is the cause and effect of the previous life." You don't have to worry about the kindness of the old man to you, but remember the great kindness of your parents, Brother Pudu and Miss Lin. If you are a person who knows how to repay your kindness, then repay the kindness of everyone to you! ”

Liu Baoen bowed his head, "Master, you are really a master!" I have received too much favor from others, and I will be kind to all living beings in the future, and I will never forget the kindness I have received. ”

Seeing Liu Baoen like this, the old bustard smiled slightly: "Miaoyan, if you have a spirit in the sky, bless Lord Liu to do more good deeds and resolve the knot in your heart." ”

Liu Baoen bowed to everyone present, "Everyone, you are also people who are kind to Liu, I will definitely help you pray in front of the Buddha, and I will leave." He said and walked out of the crowd silently.

He returned to Kaifeng City and submitted his resignation to Zhao Kuangyin. Zhao Kuangyin knew that he and himself were not of the same mind, and he wanted him to leave the court forever, but he naturally couldn't ask for it at this time. But he still pretended to keep it, and gave Liu Baoen the name of the protector of the country, so he let him leave. Liu Baoen went to Daxiangguo Temple to take out the bones of Master Pudu, and then went straight to Shaolin.

A few days later, he arrived outside the gate of the Shaolin Temple of Wuru Peak in Songshan Mountain. Looking around, seeing that the Shaolin temple is extremely magnificent, the temple door is brushed with vermilion lacquer, and the ancient trees outside the door are towering to the sky, Liu Baoen can't help but yearn for it, "No wonder Master Pudu has been thinking about this place for so many years, Shaolin, a century-old ancient temple, is indeed extraordinary, if I can spend the rest of my life here, it is also a beautiful thing." ”

He stepped forward and knocked lightly on the door of the temple, and said: "Under Liu Baoen, the tired master opened the temple door, I want to ask the abbot Master Hongtai to return the treasure temple magic "Yijin Sutra" with my own hands. ”

He only knocked a few times, and a small monk inside opened the temple door. When the little monk saw Liu Baoen, he folded his hands and asked, "Amitabha, this benefactor has come to offer incense?" ”

Liu Baoen shook his head and said reverently: "Little master, I want to store Master Pudu's bones here, and take refuge in the treasure temple, please fulfill it." ”

The little monk hurriedly said: "Amitabha, donor, please wait here, I will go to the abbot." ”

Liu Baoen thanked him, and the little monk retreated to the temple. After a short time, the temple door was wide open, and many monks came out of it. The first person has white eyebrows and white beard, treasure **, holding a nine-tin Zen staff, it is the Shaolin abbot Hongtai master. He was accompanied by five monks who were slightly younger than him, some holding sticks and some carrying knives, and were the five heads of the four halls of the first courtyard of the Shaolin Temple. They were followed by hundreds of disciples.

"Amitabha, Lord Liu, Lao Wei heard that you are pregnant with my Shaolin treasure book "Yijin Sutra", please give it to Lao Ke and return it to Shaolin." Master Hongtai said.

Liu Baoen nodded, "This is natural." However, there is a condition below, please ask the abbot to deposit the bones of Master Pudu in the Tallinn of the treasure temple. ”

Master Hongtai asked, "I don't know who Master Pudu is talking about?" The old man hadn't heard of him! ”

Liu Baoen said: "This Pudu master was originally a lay disciple of Baosha, but he was expelled from the door wall for killing a good person by mistake. He later became a monk in Kaifeng Daxiangguo Temple, and his legal name was Pudu. It was the master who passed on my martial arts and gave me the heart to be a Buddha. ”

"Senior Brother Abbot, the person Liu Shizhu said seems to be the disciple who killed the loyal ministers of the court back then, although our Shaolin Buddhism is grand, but we can't tolerate this kind of wicked person!" The first ** of the Discipline Academy whispered.

Hongtai frowned, and said righteously: "Amitabha, Lord Liu wants to use the "Yijin Sutra" to exchange this wicked man's bones in Shaolin, but the old man can't agree!" ”

Liu Baoen took out the "Yijin Sutra" from his arms and asked, "A few masters, please see, the "Yijin Sutra" is here, don't you really want the treasure book to return to the treasure temple?" ”

Master Hongtai said: "Amitabha, although the old man is looking forward to the return of the "Yijin Sutra" to my Shaolin day and night, but the donor uses this method, don't you feel too despicable? ”

Liu Baoen said with a smile: "Haha, we lay people all know that the dead are great, and you Buddhist disciples pay more attention to the equality of all beings. Now that Master Pudu has passed away for a year, and the good karma of his life has ended, but you are so unreasonable, is it the work of a gentleman? ”

"Amitabha, Lord Liu, since you have to embarrass me Shaolin, Lao Wei has no choice but to offend!" A burly old monk beside Master Hongtai walked out and said. It is the first Hongyin Master of the Dharma Academy.

Liu Baoen nodded, "Okay, since the master wants to do it, I will accompany you through the moves, if you can get the "Yijin Sutra" in my hand within thirty moves, I should return the treasure book and immediately go down the mountain with the bones!" ”

"Amitabha, the donor is too underestimating the old man!" Hongyin said that his body had arrived in front of Liu Baoen, and grabbed the "Yijin Sutra" in his hand. The power of his claws carries a whirring wind, like a dragon's groan, which is the Shaolin stunt dragon gripper.

Liu Baoen was not in a hurry, his hands were folded, as if worshipping the Buddha. When he saw that Master Hongyin's hand had been grabbed three inches away from the "Yijin Sutra", he threw the book to his left hand in an instant, freed his right hand, and grabbed Master Hongyin's wrist very quickly.

Master Hongyin was taken aback, and said secretly, "This Liu Shizhu actually practiced my Shaolin Weituo Sect's Vedic Eighteen-style Demon Suppression Hand to such a fire!" He didn't dare to underestimate it in his heart, and he was busy trying his best to get the "Yijin Sutra".

But when I saw the two of them, one was chic and casual, with exquisite moves and extraordinary internal strength, and the other was sophisticated and strong, and it was definitely beyond the reach of people. The two of you have come and gone dozens of tricks, but this "Yijin Sutra" is like growing on Liu Baoen.

Master Hongyin's internal strength was not as vast as Liu Baoen's, and he was burdened by the limit of thirty moves, so he didn't dare to act rashly, lest Liu Baoen deceive, so the offensive was much slower.

Master Hongtai and the Shaolin monks were amazed when they saw that Liu Baoen's martial arts were so strong that they were able to play the first Hongyin of the Dharma Academy.

Soon, the thirty moves arrived, but Master Hongyin didn't even touch the edge of the book. He had to stop, "Amitabha, Lord Liu's miraculous skills are world-shattering, and Lao Wei admits defeat!" ”

Master Hongtai couldn't help but be a little surprised when he saw that his junior brother Hongyin didn't take back the "Yijin Sutra". He looked at the other old monks and said, "Senior disciples, which of you can recapture the treasure book for this temple?" ”

"Amitabha, senior brother, I am willing to contribute to this temple!"

Master Hongtai looked at it and saw that it was the first ** seat of the Discipline Academy who spoke, and nodded and said: "Senior brother, this Liu Shizhu is superb in martial arts, you have to be careful!" ”

**The master smiled, and with a light tap of his toes, the person had come to Liu Baoen. He held a Zen staff, and although the power of the moves he used was not very great, it was extremely ingenious, and every move was difficult to dodge.

Liu Baoen bowed slightly, "**Master, your Pumen Staff Method is indeed extraordinary, but if you want to take the "Yijin Sutra" in the hands of the juniors, you still owe some heat!" ”

He said that he used Shaolin light skills to cross the river with a reed, and saw that his body kept turning in circles, as if he was swaying by the wind, but he easily avoided the attack of the ** master in the swing.

**The master saw that Liu Baoen's body method was so mysterious, that he often avoided it in a desperate situation, and easily wandered between his seemingly impermeable tricks, and couldn't help but sigh secretly, "Amitabha, Liu Shizhu's kung fu is all from Shaolin, but the moves are all above our senior brothers, which is really rare!" ”

When Master Hongtai saw Liu Baoen so good, he couldn't help but think of the leader of the Murong Alliance, and he sighed in his heart, "Amitabha, my Shaolin disciples usually think that their martial arts are world-famous, but compared with these two young masters, it is really too far apart!" He saw that Liu Baoen had completely gained the upper hand, and it seemed that there was no hope of winning the book.

At this time, Liu Baoen's true qi in his body was constantly agitating, his footwork was not stopped, and the breath in his mouth could still be as usual, "Master, I think you still agreed to the request of the next, otherwise the junior will defeat the master in public, but I am afraid that the master's face will be dull!" ”

**The master nodded, took the move, and put his hands together and said: "Amitabha, Liu Shizhu's martial arts are far above Lao Gao, and Lao Gao admits defeat!" ”

Liu Baoen smiled and said to Master Hongtai: "Master Abbot, I really want to take refuge in Buddhism and return the Yijin Sutra, and please don't be embarrassed anymore." ”

Master Hongtai said: "Master Liu, although Shaolin has opened the door widely, Lao Gao also sincerely wants to welcome the "Yijin Sutra" back to the temple, but the donor's request Lao Gao really can't agree. ”

Liu Baoen sighed and said, "Then the master will let the disciples behind you take action together, and maybe there will be a chance to snatch back the treasure book!" ”

Master Hongtai hesitated, frowned, and said: "Master Liu, if you want to let a sinner live in my Shaolin, and damage my Shaolin reputation, Lao Qu can only ignore the morality of the rivers and lakes!" ”

Liu Baoen laughed loudly, "Hahaha, the abbot did not allow Master Pudu's bones to be stored in the treasure temple, and repeatedly insulted the deceased, there is no morality and Buddhist compassion to speak of, so why do you need to say this?" ”

Master Hongtai waved his hand, "Amitabha, Lord Liu insists on this, and the old man has no choice but to create evil!" ”

When Hongtai waved his hand, all the Shaolin disciples gathered around Liu Baoen, some of them made knives, some made sticks, and some danced their palms, all attacking Liu Baoen.

Liu Baoen didn't pay attention to their offensive at all, but seeing that his body was like a whirlwind, his fists were like meteors, and the whole person exuded a burst of awe-inspiring righteousness, which was so sacrosanct.

One person fought with hundreds of monks, but he didn't lose a trace of disadvantage, he was still so calm and unhurried, and he swayed freely, who in Shaolin didn't marvel at his martial arts?

Master Hongtai saw that Liu Baoen was so brave that he was shocked in his heart, and he kept reciting the Buddha's name, "Amitabha, Amitabha, I'm afraid that the martial arts of Patriarch Bodhidharma may not be higher than that of Master Liu!" ”

Everyone fought for nearly an hour, and most of the monks were physically exhausted. But Liu Baoen fought more and more fiercely, and when he punched his elbows, many monks were knocked to the ground by him, and his internal strength seemed to be endless and endless.

The fight was in front of the Shaolin Gate, and suddenly a sonorous and powerful voice came out of the temple, "Stop, everyone, it's all a family, don't hurt the harmony!" ”

When everyone heard this voice, they all looked at the person who spoke, and when the monks saw this person, their joy overflowed. I saw that this person was extremely handsome, and there was a faint leakage of kingly aura on his body, which made everyone present look bleak. And the temperament of the yellow-shirted boy next to him is also quite extraordinary, and his extravagance is self-evident in his gestures.

"I've seen the Lord of the Murong Alliance!" The monks gave salutes to the visitors.

Murong Yanyun hurriedly returned the salute and said, "Master Abbot, this brother has had a relationship with me, and he can be regarded as my friend, so he has something to say. ”

Master Hongtai bowed, "Amitabha, the Lord of the Murong League is taught. ”

Murong Yanyun slowly walked to Liu Baoen's side, hugged his fists and said, "Murong Yanyun has seen Brother Liu." ”

Only then did Liu Baoen know that the person who came was Murong Yanyun, the leader of the martial arts alliance who fought against Xianshuiyan and saved the heroes by himself, and hurriedly returned the salute: "The master of the Murong League has great skills and righteousness, and I have admired it for a long time, but I have never had the opportunity to see it." I am fortunate to be able to meet the leader of the alliance today, which is really comforting! ”

Murong Yanyun said: "Brother Liu has won the award. We've actually met. ”

Liu Baoen asked suspiciously, "I don't know when I have seen the Lord of the Murong Alliance?" Why am I completely unimpressed? ”

Murong Yanyun said: "I don't know if Brother Liu remembers that when you were boasting about your official a year ago, you saved a girl on the street and met a black-faced teenager?" ”

Liu Baoen nodded, "There is such a thing, how did the Lord of the Murong Alliance know?" ”

Murong Yanyun smiled, "Haha, that black-faced boy is my disguise." ”

Liu Baoen also smiled, "I see, it seems that I still have some fate with the Lord of the Murong Alliance!" ”

Murong Yanyun said: "Brother Liu, you don't have to call me any alliance leader in the future, just call me Yanyun." ”

Liu Baoen nodded and shouted, "Brother Yan Yunxian." ”

Murong Yanyun patted Liu Baoen on the shoulder, "Brother Liu, I'll take you to meet a friend." As he spoke, he pulled Liu Baoen to Li Minghe's side and introduced: "Brother Liu, this is Li Minghe, Brother Li." ”

When Liu Baoen heard that the person in front of him was the former head of the Shenlong Sect, he couldn't help but be in awe, and hurriedly hugged his fists and said: "Who should I have such an extraordinary temperament, it turns out to be Brother Li!" ”

Li Minghe also smiled and said: "Brother Liu, I have long heard that you are a loyal and good man with two sleeves and a clean breeze, and today I saw that your martial arts are so outstanding, and my little brother admires it!" If I hadn't gone to Longhu Mountain to see the leader of the Murong League that day, he took me to Shaolin, and Master Hongtai healed my meridians, and I wouldn't have met a great talent like Brother Liu. ”

Liu Baoen shook his head lightly and said, "Brother Li is really praised!" ”

Murong Yanyun asked at this time: "By the way, Brother Liu, I heard that you have already taken up your post in Luoyang, how can you have time to come to Shaolin?" ”

Liu Baoen sighed and told all the things about himself and Miaoyan, and also about Master Pudu. Murong Yanyun was very moved after hearing this, and said to Master Hongtai: "Master Abbot, Brother Liu's experience is really sad. In my opinion, Shaolin should not only open the door to people in the world, but also take in this Pudu master who has always been dedicated to Shaolin despite his death! ”

Master Hongtai heard Murong Yanyun's words, and had no choice but to say: "Amitabha, even if you are the leader of the alliance, you also think so, so Lao Qu will read that the senior brother of Pudu is dedicated to the Buddha and take his bones in Shaolin." ”

Liu Baoen couldn't help but admire more and more when he saw that Murong Yanyun only had one sentence, and he could make the Shaolin abbot obey his orders. After he thanked Murong Yanyun and Master Hongtai for their kindness, the group entered Shaolin.

When they entered Shaolin to sit for a while, Liu Baoen respectfully presented the "Yijin Sutra" and handed the bones of Master Pudu to Master Hongtai.

Master Hongtai saw that the "Yijin Sutra" returned to Shaolin, smiled, and hurriedly asked his disciples to offer the treasure book into the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, and the bones of Master Pudu were also put into Tallinn.

Liu Baoen put forward the idea of taking refuge in Buddhism, and Master Hongtai personally shaved his ordination in front of the Buddha for him, and gave him the name of the Dharma according to his wish to repay his kindness.

He knelt down in front of the Buddha and muttered: "All the ways are due to cause and harmony, and when the cause arises, when the fate ends, there is nothing, nothing else." Miaoyan, you have a spirit in the sky, please bless me to be able to purify all sentient beings, so as to repay the kindness of this world to me......"
