More than a month later, a group of more than a dozen people climbed the mountain from the foot of Song Mountain and came towards Shaolin Mountain, where the Shaolin Temple is located.

Shaomu Mountain is quite steep, the mountain road is a long row of wide stone steps, the scale is magnificent, the project is really not small, that is the Tang Dynasty Gaozong for the fortunate Shaolin Temple and excavated, a total of eight miles long. In the past, when the incense of Shaolin Temple was prosperous in the peaceful and prosperous times, there was an endless stream of people who came to pray for incense, and the mountain road was full of people.

It's just that since the Jingkang Change, the Jin State has invaded the Central Plains, the military disaster is linked to the people's livelihood, and most of the Jurchen people who rule the Jin State do not believe in Buddhism, the incense of the Shaolin Temple will inevitably weaken, and often ten days and a half months do not see a person, like this A team of more than ten people is already very rare, so the monks of the Shaolin Temple found this line of people from afar, and waited for the mountain gate early.

But seeing that these dozen people are all dressed as servants, there are men and women, men and women are delicate, and the clothes are neat, they are all made of good clothes, which are better than those worn by ordinary little rich families, and even a few maids are equipped with a little gold and silver jewelry, which looks extremely magnificent, so that people can know at a glance that they are servants from official eunuchs or noble families.

A group of servants before and after the sedan chair of four people to carry, the sedan chair is well-made and decorative, the porter who carries the sedan chair is also strong and healthy, the sedan chair is lifted to the feet calmly and neatly, although it is to climb the mountain and climb the steps and also lift the sedan chair steadily, at a glance it is a veteran who does this business all the year round.

Seeing this scene, the monk who greeted the monk who came out of the mountain gate couldn't help but be secretly surprised, secretly speculating what kind of person was sitting in the sedan chair, and there was such a pomp. At the same time, there is also a faint expectation in the heart, in recent years, the incense of Shaolin Temple is declining, and the monks in the temple are also much more bitter than before, and the monks also have to eat and drink, and they can't eat and drink and live, if it weren't for the temple and many fields accumulated over the years, I'm afraid they can't be maintained. Therefore, today's Shaolin monks are like seedlings in a dry field, hungry and thirsty, so they look forward to more pilgrims who can come to pray for blessings and give more incense money, so that their lives can improve.

A group of more than a dozen people came all the way to the Shaolin Mountain Gate, the sedan chair fell, and a young man dressed in brocade clothes and full of luxury walked out of the sedan chair. I saw that this young man was also fifteen or sixteen years old, and his sword eyebrows and starry eyes were extraordinary, and at first glance, he was not a child of an idler, which was not to be underestimated.

Seeing this scene, the monk nodded secretly in his heart, it seems that this young man is not the son of the prince and grandson, but also from a family of eunuchs, and he is by no means an idle person. So he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly stepped forward with a respectful face.

The young man in Chinese costume who came was none other than Ling Muyun who came for the Jiuyang True Scripture.

Although Ling Muyun knew that the Jiuyang True Scripture was hidden in the Scripture Pavilion of Shaolin Temple, it was not so easy to obtain it. After all, the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion is the gateway of the Shaolin Temple, and anyone who wants to enter can enter. Later, Xiao Xiangzi and Yin Kexi did not hesitate to use bitter meat tricks in order to infiltrate the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, which deceived the monk Jueyuan and successfully stole the "Lenga Sutra". It's a pity that although the two stole the Jiuyang Sutra in their hands, they couldn't bear it, they guarded against each other and calculated each other, but in the end, they ended up together, and they cheapened Zhang Wuji, a descendant, in vain.

On the way here, Ling Muyun had been thinking about how to act, how to get his hands on the Jiuyang True Scripture. thought of many ways, but he vetoed them one by one, and in the end he could only use the method written in the online novel in his previous life, and deceived the Jiuyang Sutra in the name of copying Buddhist scriptures.

It's just that Shaolin Temple is not a public service place, and the Scripture Pavilion is not a public library in Ling Muyun's previous life, anyone can enter. If you want to go in and copy the scriptures, even if you just copy the Buddhist scriptures, you have to be qualified. Where does this qualification come from, which requires money to open the way. So Ling Muyun casually sold his horses at a low price, and then spent a lot of money to hire such a decent team, and he pretended to be a son of a family to send money to Shaolin Temple.

Before he came, Ling Muyun had already inquired about the relevant news, and he was very clear about the current situation of the Shaolin Temple, which also increased his confidence in this trip. If it is said that when the incense of Shaolin Temple is prosperous, it is bound to be difficult for him to enter the Shaolin Temple's gateway to the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion as an outsider, even if he scatters more money, it may be useless, but with the current difficult situation of Shaolin Temple, he does not believe that Shaolin Temple will not be moved in the face of his money offensive.

Ling Muyun just got off the sedan chair and stood firm, and the monk of Shaolin Temple had already walked to the front quickly, bowed to him with his palms together, and recited the Buddha's horn: "Amitabha, the distinguished guests are here, and if you miss the welcome, please forgive your sins." But I don't know where the donor came from, what is the reason for coming to this temple? ”

"Master, it's polite to be here." Ling Muyun bowed and returned the salute, with a humble gentleman's demeanor. "The master doesn't know, my mother has been sincere to the Buddha since she was a child, every time she recites the scriptures and prays to the Buddha, pious refuge, and the great wish of her life is to be able to have the honor to recite the true transmission of the Dharma passed down by the Dharma patriarch of your temple, so as to be close to the Buddha ......and the Buddha."

When the monk heard this, he clasped his hands together and said, "Good, good, this is a good fruit." ”

"Exactly." Ling Muyun nodded, and then sighed and said: "It's just that my mother's health has been poor, and it is difficult to travel long distances, so I have not been able to make the trip. Therefore, I came to the treasure temple not far away, and I hope that your temple can pity my mother with a pious heart, and allow me to copy a few volumes of the scriptures recorded by the ancestors of Bodhidharma, so as to be full of filial piety. ”

"Amitabha, the donor's filial piety is commendable, and sincerity is precious!" The monk sighed, "But the little monk is only responsible for the temple to welcome pilgrims, this matter is very important, but the little monk can not be the master, but also need to be the abbot of the temple, and hope that the donor will not blame." ”

Ling Muyun smiled slightly, and said: "Shaolin is the holy land of Buddhism, and this time I came here to offer incense to the Buddha on behalf of my mother, how dare I rush into the Buddha with anger?" I only ask that the monks of your temple can have mercy on the next piece of filial piety, open a convenient door, and be grateful in the next, and will be generously offered to show sincerity. ”

Hearing Ling Muyun say that he wanted to offer a lot of money, the heart of the monk suddenly beat a little, his face suddenly smiled, and he made a gesture of invitation to Ling Muyun with a smile, and said: "The donor can relax and enter the temple to serve tea first, and the little monk will truthfully present this matter to the abbot master of the temple, the abbot of the temple and the elders are all virtuous monks, and they will remember the filial piety of the donor, and give the donor a satisfactory answer." ”

Ling Muyun immediately nodded in agreement, turned around and ordered the team of servants he had hired with a lot of money to settle down at the foot of the mountain and wait for him, and then walked into the Shaolin Temple with the Zhike monks.

……

Ling Muyun entered the Shaolin Temple, he stayed for nearly half a month, until more than ten days later, he came out of the Shaolin Temple with several transcriptions of Buddhist scriptures under the enthusiasm of a group of Shaolin monks, and joined the "honor guard" who was hired to pretend to be outside the temple, and went all the way down the Shaolin Mountain under the eyes of a group of Shaolin monks.

After going down Shaomu Mountain, Ling Muyun looked back to see that there was no Shaolin monk, so he took out a big ingot of gold and paid the remaining half of the remaining half of the money for hiring the "honor guard", so that the "honor guard" continued to pretend to continue to go south, and he himself quietly went to a nearby market town and bought a good horse, and then galloped north, drove for most of the day in one breath, and ran out for two or three hundred miles, feeling that the monks of Shaolin Temple couldn't catch up with him even if they wanted to, Ling Muyun breathed a sigh of relief, and stopped in a town on the way, I found an inn to settle down and rest.

Asked for an upper room to live in the inn, Ling Muyun took out a few sutras from the package and put them in front of the bed to look at them, there are four sutras, namely the "Diamond Sutra", "Lotus Sutra", "Great Nirvana Sutra" and "Ranga Sutra", these Buddhist scriptures are all copied by him word by word in the past half a month.

These scriptures are the most normal Buddhist scriptures, and there is nothing abnormal in them, even the "Ranga Sutra", which is full of Buddhism and does not have the slightest essence of martial arts. But this is not to say that Ling Muyun went to Shaolin this time and got nothing, on the contrary, this time he can be said to have returned with a full load, but for the sake of safety, he did not copy the Jiuyang Sutra to the scriptures, but silently recited it when copying, and firmly remembered the Jiuyang Sutra in his heart.

It was precisely because the true scripture was in hand that Ling Muyun would run away after going down the mountain, and he was afraid that the Shaolin monks would find out that they would come to chase him.

Although it is said that in the original work, the monks of Shaolin Temple never discovered the secrets hidden in the "Lenga Sutra", and it was not until later that they were accidentally discovered by the monk Jueyuan, who supervised the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion. Can you know that his going up the mountain to copy the scriptures this time will not have any butterfly effect, so that the Shaolin monks can discover the secret in advance? It's better to be cautious.

ps: The plot of this chapter is a bit old-fashioned, but for the sake of future plot development, I have to arrange such a chapter.
