The ancestors of the Duan family were emperors, often avoided the throne as monks, and they were all monks in this Tianlong Temple, so the Tianlong Temple is the family temple of the Dali royal family, and it is the most honored among the temples in the country. After each emperor becomes a monk, his descendants will go to the temple to worship on his birthday, and every time they worship, there will be dedication and decoration. The temple has three pavilions, seven floors, nine halls, one hundred buildings, the scale is large, the construction is exquisite, even if it is the famous mountain temple of the Central Plains such as Wutai, Putuo, Jiuhua, Emei and various Buddhist resorts, it is also rare to compare, just remote in the south of Xinjiang, its name is not obvious.

At noon on this day, a carriage came to Tianlong Temple, and three monks came down from the carriage, two older and one young. After the young monk paid the coachman, he whipped away.

Among the three monks, the two older ones were dressed in khaki monks' robes, while the younger ones were dressed in gray. A lean and slender elderly monk looked at the golden plaque of Chongsheng Temple, smiled, and said to the elderly monk beside him, "Senior brother, Tianlong Temple has arrived." ”

The senior brother put his hands together and said with a smile: "Senior brother is sincere, the golden stone is open, my Buddha has mercy, and my brother's wish will definitely come true." ”

The senior brother nodded and said thoughtfully, "I hope." ”

At this time, the young monk stepped forward to knock on the door, knocked three times, the temple door creaked open, and a small monk inside, seventeen or eighteen years old, looked out curiously, saw that it was a fellow practitioner, thought it was a monk passing by, and saluted Heshi and said: "The masters are polite, please come in quickly, the dining hall is about to open." ”

The young monk smiled faintly, and Heshi replied: "The little master is polite, the poor monk is a Shaolin monk Huijian, and he asked Master Xuanguang and Uncle Xuanxiu to meet the presiding abbot, and the little master was troubled to report." ”

The little monk was stunned for a moment, and he didn't expect that the three monks in the homespun monk's clothes outside were actually from the famous martial arts Taidou Shaolin Temple, so he hurriedly saluted and said, "The three masters, please wait, and the monk will go to report." ”

The young monk Hui saw that there was a lot of work, and the little monk had already turned around and walked a few steps.

The three monks waited outside for a while, and the little monk walked out quickly, and the little monk Heshi said respectfully: "Three masters, please come with me, the abbot is waiting in the dining hall." ”

The lean and slender elder monk Xuanguang saluted and said, "There is Master Lao to lead the way." "First, the junior brother and apprentice followed the little monk into the Tianlong Temple.

Tianlong Temple is because if the abbot is about the identity of the layman, the status is noble, and he is the uncle of Duan Zhengming, the current Baoding Emperor of Dali. Therefore, although he does not have a special lunch at noon, and he is also in the dining hall, he has a special dining room, which is not the same as the monks of Tianlong Temple.

Xuanguang and the others were introduced into a dining room by the little monk, because the abbot was about sixty, and hurriedly sat down to greet him, "The three masters are guests from afar, please sit down, and then talk about ...... with some meals."

Although Tianlong Temple and Shaolin Temple belong to the same martial arts and Buddhism, it is obvious that politics is above all else.

The court of Dali has always recognized the Great Song Kingdom as the suzerain, and in the martial arts, Tianlong Temple is also very respectful to Shaolin Temple.

Xuanguang and others did not hold it up, and titheed it, at this time, Huijian took out three degrees from his arms and handed them over, and the abbot saw it, but his face was pale, his hands refused, and he smiled: "The three masters are like this, aren't they outside?" The corner of his eye swept slightly.

Seeing that the other party was not accepted, Hui looked at the master with a sad face. Seeing this, Xuanguang nodded with a wry smile and said, "Then follow the abbot of Benyin." ”

Hui Jian then took Du Mu back into his arms, which was a proof of their identity. Ben Yin laughed again and beckoned the three monks to sit down.

The table in the room was full of all kinds of vegetarian dishes in the morning, and a few of them actually looked like braised pork, steamed fish and other meat dishes. Xuanguang frowned, and the abbot saw that the three of them were headed by him, grabbed a chopstick, handed it to the plate in front of him, and said with a smile: "This is a new dish made by the kitchen monk in our dining room, it looks like a meat dish, and it tastes like a meat dish, but he is actually an authentic vegetarian dish, all made of soybeans and glutinous rice." ”

Xuanguang was surprised, took a chopstick and tasted it, and sure enough, the entrance and meat food were undoubted, and he praised it: "The craftsmanship of the kitchen and monk of your temple is really amazing." ”

The abbot smiled and said to Xuan Xiu and Hui on both sides of Xuanguang: "The two masters also taste it." ”

……………………

After lunch, three novices came in, removed the dishes, chopsticks, plates, and served tea.

After the abbot took a sip of tea, he asked, "I don't know if Senior Brother Xuanguang came to my Tianlong Temple, what do you ask?" ”

Xuanguang's face was unspeakable, and when he saw it, he got up and opened the package he had been carrying with him, and took out three scriptures from it. Holding it and offering it to the abbot of Benin.

Because the abbot took a look at it curiously, he saw that the last scripture was written: "Shaolin Seventy-two Stunt Essentials" a few black characters, and he looked at Xuanguang dumbfounded, and said: "Master, this ...... What does this mean? ”

Xuanguang stood up, and the Xuanxiu beside him also stood up, and listened to Xuanguang put his hands together and said: "The Buddha said: Neither born nor destroyed, not dirty and not pure." The old monk's root instrument is reckless, and he can't break the word greed, and a yang finger is Duan's mastery, and he wants to ask your temple for a finger score. The old monk is willing to exchange these seventy-two stunts of the temple, the practice method and some of the old monk's cultivation experience. ”

Hui Jian placed the scripture on the table next to the abbot of Ben Yin and retreated to Xuanguang's side. The abbot was stunned and picked up the scriptures and flipped through them, the pages were full of words and pictures, the handwriting was still new, and it was written in pure new ink. It's really a Shaolin 72 stunt!

He couldn't help but pound in his heart, Shaolin Temple became a martial arts master with seventy-two stunts, and although the one yang finger of Tianlong Temple was the top fingering, it was a little thin. Shaolin temple built nearly 600 years, and Tianlong Temple is only nearly 150 years, its heritage is not comparable to Tianlong Temple.

If my Tianlong Temple has obtained these seventy-two stunts, wouldn't it have improved in terms of martial arts for more than four hundred years at once, and it can be on a par with Shaolin?

Although the One Yang Finger is a first-class top cheat, the seventy-two Shaolin stunts are also first-class and superior stunts, and besides, the One Yang Finger is the Duan clan, and who can practice the first, second, and third grades?

He and his senior brother Yiyang Zhi cultivated to the second grade, but they were only in the fourth grade, and the senior uncle had been practicing hard for decades, but he had only reached the second grade...... Although the Yiyang Finger is a first-class secret book, it is unimaginable to practice to the top of the first grade.

Maybe...... The abbot couldn't help but think: Maybe combined with the seventy-two stunts of Shaolin, it can be beneficial to practice the One Yang Finger. Thinking like this, he secretly approved Xuanguang's request for eight or nine points.
