Chapter 106: Shaolin Guest

Liu Weifeng and Gongsun Lucalyx separated, a few days after rushing to Songshan, in the five milk peak under the Shaomur Mountain saw the legendary "Shaolin Temple" plaque. After years of war, the temple was not implicated, which shows the respect for Buddhism in the Tang and Song dynasties.

After he went to the temple gate, he wanted to visit the temple during this period as usual, but he couldn't take pictures. While strolling around and sighing, this Shaolin Temple will exist for more than 1,000 years in later generations, after vicissitudes of life, continuous repair, known as "the world's first temple", sure enough, the building is magnificent, the momentum is extraordinary. I also thought that Shaolin Kung Fu is famous all over the world, known as "the world's kung fu out of Shaolin", I don't know if I can have the opportunity to see it.

The monasteries are all monks, but he is out of place, and he shuttles around alone, and even pays homage to Tallinn. The monks had already noticed it and informed the management. A big monk came to him, folded his hands and said: "Amitabha, the poor monk is a deacon in the temple and the Western order, and he is polite, may I ask if the donor is a pilgrim?" ”

"Uh...... Yes, yes, Master, I am full of yearning for Buddhism, I want to visit the Guibao Temple, and I am really sorry to linger after being shocked. ”

"It's good, it's good, it's really rare for the donor to have this Buddha fate. If the donor is interested, I can tell the class leader and allow you to come to the prayer hall to listen to the chanting. When the deacon heard that he was pro-Buddha, he made this proposal to introduce people who have Buddha affiliation into Buddhism, and the merit was immeasurable.

Liu Weifeng secretly complained bitterly, and said in his heart: "I was perfunctory, this monk is also sincere, how boring it is to listen to the monk chanting." His eyes rolled and he said: "Thank you for the master's kindness, listening to the master's chanting and teachings is the trend of my heart, but I have no foundation and it is difficult to comprehend." Why don't you borrow two scriptures and refer to them yourself, so can it be convenient for the master? ”

"Amitabha, the scriptures of this temple are never borrowed, but the donor has Buddha fate and good thoughts, I can preside over it, can I open the net."

"The master doesn't have to be embarrassed, if you break the rules, don't look at it."

"It's okay, the donor waits, and the poor monk will come when he goes." Turn around and want to leave.

"Master!" Liu Weifeng stopped him again and said: "I am tired of explaining to the abbot that I only borrow Buddhist scriptures, and I don't care about all the martial arts classics, and I am not borrowing them out of the temple, if it is convenient, I can provide a table and chairs." Oh, I'm here this time, and I want to donate a little incense. Although Liu Weifeng knew that the monks were of noble character, he still had to show some sincerity. Yan Bi escaped with all his money, a total of more than 20 taels of silver, and handed it to the deacon, saying, "This is all my money to show my heart to the Buddha." ”

The deacon monk Rao was quite profound, and he was also surprised, and excused himself: "The monks take suffering as pleasure and do not receive gold and silver, please take it back." ”

"Master, I am not desecrating the Buddha's door, money is something outside the body, and I want to stay in the temple for a few days, but there is nothing to use. Some of the halls in my temple are broken and need to be repaired. I also ask the master to accept it in the temple for this purpose, and I hope that I will not refuse my wishes. ”

When the deacon saw that he was so pious, he had to accept him and give it to the abbot. Suddenly, Liu Weifeng saw that the deacon led a few old monks to walk slowly, and the monk in the middle was the oldest, wearing a red robe, his steps were light but powerful, and his martial arts cultivation must be very deep, and he was the abbot.

"Lao Qu Fuyu has seen the donor, dare to ask the donor's surname?" When he got closer, the old monk joined together. Liu Weifeng saw that he was kind and kind-eyed, and his demeanor was naturally as civilized, but he was a little similar to the master of a lamp, his eyes were blazing, and he looked like a monk, Liu Weifeng couldn't help but be impressed.

The deacon introduced: "Donor, this is the abbot of my temple. ”

Liu Weifeng also saluted: "How can Liu Weifeng be able to meet the abbot in person, it is really a pain in the younger generation." The deacon also introduced the other monks, including those from the Dharma Hall, the Arhat Hall, and the Precept Academy, all of which were management. Liu Weifeng saluted one by one, felt their powerful aura, and said in his heart: "Good guy, I didn't expect to attach so much importance to myself." ”

"Oh? It turned out to be Liu Shizhu, but you are here to become a monk? A monk asked, Liu Weifeng thought of the introduction just now, it seemed to be the head of the temple.

"Uh...... I think it's not enough to be in the lower Buddha's fate, there are a lot of distracting thoughts, and you can't become a monk, hehe. Liu Weifeng was secretly surprised that the monk actually asked him this question, which was a serious matter, and he could answer it with self-mockery. I only heard the monk say again: "About 20 days ago, two male benefactors came to our temple and asked, 'Is there a young man surnamed Liu who has come here, or is he a monk here?' A few days ago, two more benefactors came to inquire as they had done last time. I don't know what they're looking for, but you, the donor? Therefore, he asked abruptly, looking at the donor Haihan. ”

Liu Weifeng said in his heart: "I see, 'running away from home' has such an impact, it was for Hong Lingbo to make this decision, forget it, I don't want to teach Gongsun Lucalyx martial arts for 20 days, otherwise I may have returned to Xiangyang, it really backfired, and I was really wronged." Faced with a few monks waiting for answers, he only said: "Maybe it's for me, but I don't have the idea of becoming a monk for the time being, if I am lucky enough to borrow a few Buddhist scriptures, I am willing to do enough." They didn't know why I came to the temple, so they misunderstood, and I didn't care, and I will return in a few days. ”

Abbot Fuyu said: "The donor is benevolent and righteous, and the temple is grateful." Juetong, you take Master Liu to the Scripture Pavilion and explain the reason to provide convenience for reading. "Disciple, remember!" It turned out that "Juetong" was the name of the first Dharma of that class.

Liu Weifeng resigned from the abbot and others, and went to the "Tibetan Scripture Pavilion" with Juetong, and said in his heart: "Money can make ghosts grind, and it is also common in Buddhism." "The dark feeling is funny.

The monk who is responsible for managing the Buddhist scriptures is called Jueyuan. I saw that he was about fifty years old, tall and jade, and elegant, like a well-educated Confucian. Liu Weifeng knew his name, it was Zhang Sanfeng's enlightenment master in "Heaven and Dragon Slayer", thinking that he had inadvertently learned Jiuyang Divine Skill, he didn't know it, his skills were profound, and he was tortured by chains.

This should be sixteen years later, and the thought of this festival makes me feel awe. At this time, Zhang Sanfeng was not born. In conversation with him, Master Juejueyuan has a pure temperament, seems to be completely ignorant of world affairs, and even a little pedantic. He listened to the abbot's words, and happily complied, and set up a table and chair by the window in the corner of the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, and let Liu Weifeng choose to read at will.

In fact, there are still a few staff members in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, and Jueyuan is in charge of Buddhist scriptures. The martial arts classics are guarded by others, and the management system is strictly standardized. Liu Weifeng knew that greed and chewing were not rotten, and every Shaolin stunt needed decades of work to be cultivated, and he had to study the corresponding Buddhism to complement each other, so he had no intention.

Liu Weifeng traveled thousands of miles to come here, is he really devout to the Buddha? Naturally not! He said that "it is better to be a monk", and came to the distant Shaolin Temple at the near and far, and he had a plan in his heart, and he came here to borrow not ordinary Buddhist scriptures, the real purpose is "Jiuyang True Scripture".

He went around the bend and entered the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, and for fear of arousing suspicion, he first borrowed the "Prajna Heart Sutra" and "Diamond Sutra". Na Jueyuan provided tea and meals every day, which was quite thoughtful, and at Liu Weifeng's request, he provided paper and pen so that he could write "reading notes". At the beginning, I watched him read and write "Contemplating the Bodhisattva of Freedom, and when he walked deep Prajnaparamita, he saw that the five aggregates were empty, and he was ...... all suffering", I was afraid that he would not understand and explain it from time to time, Liu Weifeng had a ghost in his heart, of course he didn't want to be so favored.

Then he said: "Master Jueyuan, thank you for your guidance, the Buddhist scriptures are broad and profound, if you comprehend or understand deeply, and also pay attention to fate, you don't have to read it with me, let me study it slowly, and I can also see my Buddha Yuan creation, if you don't understand and then ask, okay?" Jueyuan nodded with a smile and said "yes", and sure enough, he was busy sorting out, cleaning and other things, and he also took a scripture book to read elsewhere in his spare time. The abbot waited for a few words of condolences on the second day, and Liu Weifeng behaved as usual.

On the third day, he tried to ask Jueyuan, "Master, is there a book called Leng What Sutra?" I once heard a master mention this sutra, and I can't remember all the names. ”

“…… Oh, what the donor is talking about? After finishing speaking, he went to find it, and put it on his desk for a while, Liu Weifeng carefully identified it, and the title of the book was "Lenga Sutra" in a few traditional characters! This strange book with a secret mystery was right in front of him, and his heart was "thumping", but he couldn't wait.

Jueyuan said: "This scripture is the original book brought by the Dharma patriarch Dongdu, which can be regarded as a great Buddhist canon, and the little monk also often reads it, and the mezzanine still contains the scriptures, all to teach people to maintain the body with color and appearance, which is far from being important than the "Ranga Sutra". Liu Weifeng said in his heart: "This is indeed the case, no one in Shaolin Temple knows that the "Jiuyang True Scripture" is gold buried in the soil, and it cannot live up to the hard-won opportunity." ”

After Jueyuan left, he carefully flipped through it, looking for the "Jiuyang Sutra" in the mezzanine, and went back and forth several times, but he didn't know the gist of the "Lenga Sutra", which was the most distracting reading for him. However, the "Jiuyang True Scripture" was copied in less than a day, carefully hidden in his arms, and remembered in his heart.

When the goal was achieved, he had the idea of retreating, and when he returned the book to Master Jueyuan, he was very polite, his hands were clenched, and he repeatedly "thank you for helping" Yunyun, which made Jueyuan like a kind of good cause, and greatly comforted his life.

Liu Weifeng went down to the Golden Pavilion, and before he practiced the "Jiuyang True Scripture", he felt refreshed and refreshed, and his realm was extraordinary, and he really wanted to find a place to practice quietly, so he resigned to the abbot of Fuyu.

"Master Liu, what scriptures have you read in the past few days, can you have some understanding?" The abbot asked kindly, with concern in his words.

Liu Weifeng listened to this and asked about the experience of reading the scriptures, and unconsciously thought of the "Jiuyang Sutra" in his arms, scratched his head weakly, and said: "Master Abbot, the Buddhist scriptures and Buddhism are extremely mysterious, and the disciples are still shallow and difficult to understand, only read a few pages of the "Prajna Heart Sutra" and "Diamond Sutra", etc., and seem to understand some of the principles of treating people and things. ”

"Master Liu has a lot of wisdom, if you concentrate on practice, you can become my Mahayana Buddha disciple......"

"Master Fuyu." Liu Weifeng was afraid that he would continue to talk about a lot of boring Buddhist scriptures, and said that he would become a Buddhist, so of course he couldn't sit still in his current practice, so he had to interrupt him, and then said: "Ask for advice about Buddhist scriptures slowly in the future." I often hear that 'the world's martial arts out of Shaolin', 'Shaolin Kung Fu is the world' and the like, but in the temple for a few days, I have never seen the masters show their martial arts, so I left, I feel very sorry. ”
