Chapter 253
These little monks are only fourteen or fifteen years old, and the younger ones are only eleven or twelve years old, Shaolin is the ancestral court of Zen Buddhism, which is different from the Pure Land Sect, the birthplace of the Pure Land Sect, the Pure Land Sect pays attention to the root regardless of the height of the root instrument, as long as you sincerely recite Amitabha Buddha, you can be reborn in the Pure Land of Amitabha Buddha Buddha.
In terms of popularity among the people, Shaolin is far inferior to the Pure Land sect, and the so-called pilgrims pay homage to the temples of the Pure Land sect, rather than Zen Buddhism.
Zen Buddhism and martial arts cultivation, in the rivers and lakes is the existence of martial arts, the prestige in the rivers and lakes, Shaolin is far superior to the Pure Land Sect!
Shaolin is mostly people in the rivers and lakes, and some heroes in the rivers and lakes who enter the temple to unload the sword are inevitably angry, but if the monk is a half-grown child, then although the people come to be unruly, they will not worry about children, and often laugh and unload their weapons generously.
Zhuo Bufan entered the Shaolin Mountain Gate, walked a few steps and stopped, those few monks stood behind him, looking at him in fear, not daring to move, after all, he was still a child.
The little monk's exclamation just now had already alarmed the monks in the Mahavira Hall, and the chanting paused for a moment, but then continued, as if it had never been interrupted.
Zhuo Bufan sneered a few times, did not urge, and walked to the side of the pavilion, there is a tall stone tablet in the pavilion, the stele is engraved with the deeds of the Shaolin thirteen stick monks on the King of Qin, and then the Qin King Li Shimin ascended the throne, not forgetting the old grace, but also rewarded Shaolin with many good fields, and allowed Shaolin monks to form soldiers.
During the Tang Dynasty, the royal surname Li, claiming to be a descendant of Taoist ancestor Li Er, respected Taoism, so Buddhism was hit, but one of the sects of Buddhism: Zen Shaolin, did not receive a blow, on the contrary, some monks were looking for Shaolin to seek refuge, and Shaolin took advantage of the situation to grow and develop.
In the Song Dynasty, Shaolin also received a royal reward. Zhuo Bufan looked at the stone stele, couldn't help but pursed the corners of his lips, and sneered disdainfully.
After about half an hour, the chanting in the Daxiong Treasure Hall finally ended, and Zhuo Bufan, who was recuperating and energetic, was shocked and walked out of the pavilion. He saw a group of monks coming to him from the Daxiong Treasure Hall.
Zhuo Bufan held the sword, proudly and fearlessly, swept towards the monks, and couldn't help frowning slightly, these monks' martial arts are just second- or third-rate, and they are Shaolin's Huizi and Xuzi monks.
At this time, I heard a long Buddha horn of "Amitabha Buddha", and the monks consciously let a road come, and a group of old monks wearing bright yellow monks' robes came.
Zhuo Bufan looked at them, and his heart was stunned, this is the master of Shaolin's Xuanzi generation, and sure enough, they are all first-class level!! But with his sword in hand, what is he afraid of?
The old monk headed by the Xuanzi generation looked serious, stepped forward, and said: "Amitabha, your guest is in the temple, and you haven't asked the name yet?" ”
Although the old monk's inquiry was quite polite, Zhuo Bufan felt quite harsh when he heard it in his ears, they didn't even know the name of my sword god Zhuo Bufan! Is this an insult to yourself?!
At that moment, he snorted coldly, looked at his old monk coldly, and said, "You are Master Xuanci, the abbot of Shaolin?" ”
A middle-aged monk among the monks squeezed behind the abbot and said softly: "Abbot, this is the sword god Zhuo Bufan." ”
The abbot frowned, and snorted, the middle-aged monk was naturally the Huiguang monk, and after he returned to Shaolin, he naturally reported everything he saw and heard to the abbot and other teachers and uncles.
The senior monks of the Xuanzi generation glanced at each other, their eyes flashed with solemnity, and they heard the abbot master laugh and said: "It turns out that Your Excellency is the famous sword god Zhuo Bufan, disrespectful, disrespectful, the old monk is clumsy, but I don't know if Your Excellency came to my Shaolin, what do you have to do?" ”
Zhuo Bufan chuckled, he saw that the abbot of Shaolin was full of qi and blood, and the Yin Hall was swollen, obviously his skill had reached the peak, and next to his left hand, there was a senior monk whose skill was not much different from him, and Shaolin was worthy of being Taishan Beidou! At the moment, he hugged his fists and said: "Abbot Xuanci is polite, I heard that Shaolin has seventy-two stunts, the crown of the rivers and lakes, please forgive Zhuo for his courage, I want to use a three-foot Qingfeng, and I will be a master of your temple for a while!" As he spoke, he raised his sword.
Shaolin is a martial arts master-level existence, and it is not for nothing that the arrogant self-esteem comes to challenge, so the monks listened to Zhuo Bufan's words and discussed a lot, but they were not too surprised.
Those who can be called masters in Shaolin are naturally the monks of the Xuanzi generation, and they have extraordinary eyes to see that Zhuo Bufan's cultivation is profound, and they all look at the abbot.
The Shaolin abbot's face was solemn, and he said to Zhuo Bufan: "Amitabha, the old monk Xuan Lone, Senior Brother Xuan Ci has abdicated and cultivated. ”
"Oh?" Zhuo Bufan was stunned, the Shaolin abbot has changed? He didn't know that there was no news coming out of the rivers and lakes, but it was not important, so he smiled dryly and said, "It turned out to be the abbot of Xuan Lone, forgive your sins!" Forgiveness! ”
Xuan Lin and Xuan Yan because of Lin Tian's visit, inadvertently said, and had an epiphany of the truth of "what is not the same", no longer obsessed with the false appearance, after entering the Dharma Cave retreat, about half a month ago, before leaving the customs, after the skill increased greatly.
Xuan Ci saw that Shaolin no longer needed to maintain himself, so he passed the position of abbot to Xuan Lian. Xuan Lin was originally the first of the Shaolin Precept Institute and the Nagarjuna Academy, and it had a very high status in the temple, and now it is even more powerful in martial arts, and no one criticizes him as the successor abbot.
After Xuan Ci resigned as abbot, he only went to the Dharma Cave to retreat and practice, but on the second day, a disciple who delivered meals reported that the abbot of Xuan Ci had left......
When the new abbot of Xuan Lin rushed to Damo Cave with the senior monks of the Xuan character generation, he saw a sentence engraved on the stone wall of the cave: "The world is safe and full of law?" Exclamation!
Xuan Ci left Shaolin and did not know his whereabouts.
Xuan Lin shook his head, and said to Zhuo Bufan: "The abbot of Shaolin is empty, and the name of the rivers and lakes is also empty, why should Your Excellency cling to a false name?" ”
Zhuo Bufan sneered and said disapprerovingly: "Abbot Xuan's Dharma is profound, but unfortunately he is dull and can't comprehend the meaning of Shakyamuni!" His left hand shook, and the long sword was half unsheathed, "Zhuo only believes in the long sword in his hand, the winner is the king, and the loser is the coward!" ”
"Your Excellency......"
"Abbot Xuan Lin doesn't need to say more!" Zhuo Bufan pulled out his long sword with a sigh, the sword in his right hand was in his hand, pointing directly at Xuan Lonely, and he was fierce: "Please also ask the abbot to teach!" ”
"Amitabha~" Xuan Lin chanted a Buddha horn. The senior monks of the Xuanzi generation and the monks on both sides of him consciously retreated. But the Xuan Yan on his left hand side did not leave, and he saw him bow to Xuan Lin eleven times, and said, "Abbot, why don't you let the junior brother come and learn the sword god tricks first?" He didn't wait for Xuan Lin to agree, so he bowed to Zhuo Bufan and Eleven: "The old monk is difficult, so as not to be the first seat of the Discipline Academy and the Dharma Academy, he will know some rough martial arts in this temple, and he will teach His Excellency the high moves." ”
