Chapter 115: Opening
Mingwu probably didn't expect that after these sects knew that the Yuqing faction was reborn, they would react so much, and they used various means to explore the details of the Yuqing faction, and the visit in the evening was quite good, and after resting late at night, the small courtyard where they were was was even more chickens and dogs.
I don't know if the Shaolin monks deliberately indulged, in the backyard of Shaolin, it didn't take long for someone to run into the courtyard of the Yuqing faction, and it was just a matter of coming in, and they actually wanted to enter the house, which made Yi Xuan almost make a move, but this time Mingwu and Li Junjie stopped it in time, so that these guys returned one after another.
But Mingwu didn't force these people to stay, and let these people run away, which made Yi Xuan feel very uncomfortable, is it necessary to take care of the face of these sects so much? It's just to participate in a Bon festival, I don't know if it's a legal society? Breaking into the house in the middle of the night is a robbery, they should really be arrested and sent to the police station, Yi Xuan thought angrily.
In this way, the Yuqing faction didn't rest well for a night, fortunately, everyone's cultivation is not low, and if they don't sleep at night, they won't become panda eyes, but everyone's mood has become not very good, after all, who wants someone to "disturb" them as soon as they sleep?
What made Yi Xuan even more indignant was that in the courtyard next to their courtyard, which was full of nuns, they were in good spirits doing morning classes in the courtyard, muttering Buddhist scriptures, which made Yi Xuan speechless for a while.
Especially the unique brainwashing sound of the Buddhist scriptures, which made the people who had not rested very irritable, so they spread out in the courtyard one after another, carrying out all kinds of morning exercises, not in a quiet way like standing on a pile, but how to make a loud noise, even Yi Xuan and Mingwu both made flying sand and stones, and for a while this small courtyard was so lively.
The time finally came to the beginning of the morning activities, under the leadership of the Shaolin monks, the Yuqing faction, like other sects, came to the front of the main hall located in the front yard, it is estimated that a conference will be held today, so it is not open to visitors, and the open space in front of the entire hall is furnished with a lot of incense utensils.
A lot of canopies were set up next to the open space in front of the main hall, and the whole venue was solemnly decorated with Buddhist yellow, Yi Xuan and others followed the monks who led the way to a canopy, where the chairs and tea sets had already been placed, apparently to entertain the invited guests.
At this time, there were already many people sitting in these canopies, and at a glance, many of the various sects or forces were wearing uniform clothes, but there were also people like the Yuqing faction who matched them at will, which made Yi Xuan feel like the taste of the martial arts conference in film and television works.
The Yuqing sect was arranged in a position close to the main hall, and next to him were all the Taoist sects that had come to visit yesterday, and the group of nuns who lived next to the Yuqing sect were sitting under the shed opposite.
Looking around the scene, Yi Xuan found that it was not only the martial arts sect that came here, but even the local government and the rest of the people were involved, closer to the main hall than the Yuqing faction, and what was written on the table was the person in charge of such and such a unit, and at first glance it was reserved for those government officials.
It wasn't until the entire venue was almost full that I saw a senior monk in a robe, with a group of people, hurrying in and sitting there, and just as they were seated, they heard a bell ring, and the Obon festival officially began.
In fact, the entire Obon Festival with Yi Xuan's knowledge of Buddhism really didn't see that it was too different from other Buddhist celebrations, it was a group of monks walking around, reciting scriptures they didn't understand, putting incense on this, sprinkling some water on that, and then offering some tribute or something, it felt very boring, if it weren't for the fact that only Mingwu had a chair to sit on, several third-generation disciples of the Yuqing faction would have easily fallen asleep.
After rubbing his eyes with a sigh of anger, this conference was finally coming to an end, looking at the representatives of various sects who were still pretending to be in good spirits, Yi Xuan decided not to come to this kind of gathering again next time, it was really boring.
I thought I would see some swords and swords, just like in the film and television drama, and then there will be some ring matches or something, but I saw such a large group of people here watching a group of monks chanting scriptures there.
Just when Yi Xuan kept complaining in his heart, the whole ceremony came to an end, and after the abbot of Shaolin presided over it, a big fat man with a round face and a round body stood at the door of the main hall wearing a golden robe and said a call, and finally officially ended.
As a result, just when Yi Xuan was thinking that it was time to leave, the fat abbot invited the government officials next to Yi Xuan and them to go out and give a speech.
And this is not the end, a series of 3 officials went up to give speeches, the meaning is nothing more than to sing the praises of virtue first, that is, I hope that all sects should abandon the past between the portals, and respond to the call to take the Shaolin school as a model to carry forward the Chinese martial arts.
The whole scene is as if Shaolin is the representative of Chinese martial arts, everyone must follow the footsteps of Shaolin, and many sect representatives sit there with black faces, but there is no way, you can't jump out and oppose it, after all, it is obvious that these government organizations are supporting Shaolin now, who wants to find it uncomfortable, but they are very reluctant in their hearts.
Although Shaolin is now the most famous, in addition to having its own traditions and inheritances, each sect is not closed, after all, it is an open world now, and even the Yuqing faction is so conservative that the sect hiding in the cave has been born, how can it be said that there is any view of the portal?
However, Shaolin brought the government to forcibly match this matter, but it made everyone feel very disdainful, although now Shaolin has made a lot of money after commercial operation, but not everyone will abandon their ancestors and sell themselves.
Perhaps because he felt that there were many people under his words who did not care, the official of this certain bureau even threw out a cruel sentence: "If the various sects cannot obey the orders of Shaolin and obey the unified command, then they will inevitably be abandoned by the society." ”
It's okay that he didn't say this, everyone still felt that there was room for tactfulness, but as soon as he finished saying this, the sects below couldn't hold back anymore, and stood up and scolded: "Taizu didn't say that the sects should be integrated back then, why do you guys let us all listen to Shaolin now?" We have also inherited it for almost a thousand years, no worse than Shaolin! ”
As soon as this sentence came out, there were many responders, many of whom have been passed down for hundreds or thousands of years, and even modern sects that have been in the past hundred years are unwilling to lose their autonomy.
However, there are also some Buddhist sects that obviously fall to Shaolin: "Amitabha, the world's martial arts are out of Shaolin, and all the donors and ancestors have learned martial arts from Shaolin, and now they are back to the door, isn't it also a good thing?" An old monk with white eyebrows and white beard stood up and said, Yi Xuan obviously felt that his cultivation was not weaker than that of Master Tai, although he looked like an ordinary old man, but the natural and perfect artistic conception that emanated from time to time showed that his cultivation was not low.
"What the master said is bad, the world's martial arts out of Shaolin This sentence is not correct, it is true that the ancestors of many sects today are in the Shaolin lineage, but there are still many Taoist sects that are inherited to ancient times, and some sects are inherited to many ancient battlefield generals, and how can these sects be classified in Shaolin?" At this moment, Mingwu finally stood up and said to the old monk who had just spoken.
At this time, many sects, including the representatives of Taoist sects who visited yesterday, also stood up one after another to tell that the long history of their sect was not shorter than that of Shaolin, and for a time the whole venue was very lively, making the originally solemn atmosphere become like a vegetable market.
This scene made the officials who were full of confidence and thought that these so-called representatives of the martial arts sect would agree immediately, felt a little unable to get off the stage, looked at the Shaolin abbot who was still there, scolded the old fox in his heart, and continued: "This is an order from the top of the state, in order to facilitate our country to carry forward traditional martial arts, so that our country's traditional martial arts can blossom and bear fruit all over the world, you can not listen to Shaolin, but in the future, if you can't pass it on because of no fame, don't blame our government for inaction." ”
Hearing the officials say this, many of the sect representatives who were still loudly opposing just now quieted down for a while, after all, this matter is a matter of sect inheritance, and it is not up to them to decide on it, and they must go back and inform the sect elders before they can make a decision.
Yi Xuan listened to this official's words, and at first felt that he was really thinking about everyone, but after thinking about it deeply, he felt that the government seemed to be trying to integrate these non-governmental forces that had been outside the control of the government, but what was the effect of integrating these martial arts schools with their own characteristics?
Most of them are not opponents of the army with automatic weapons, and they all have their own histories and habits, and it is impossible to dispatch them as conveniently as the army.
can only contribute to cultural dissemination, is there any reason why you can't think of it? Thinking about it, Yi Xuan suddenly remembered the great tribulation that had been rumored for a long time, he had heard about it in the Yuqing Sect, and he had heard about it in Gong Shao, did it have anything to do with this?
Even if there is a relationship, most of these sects are stronger than ordinary people at most, and at most they are equivalent to the level of special forces, what is the use of gathering together?
Just as Yi Xuan was thinking nonsense there, the Shaolin abbot, who had not spoken again, stood up at this time and said: "I know that you can't make the decision, I just hope that everyone will bring this matter back and let their respective elders think it through, at most after a month, all sects will have to give an answer." ”
Speaking of this, the Shaolin abbot looked around meaningfully and continued: "But in order to show our Shaolin's sincerity, this time we Shaolin are ready to share a secret with all the sects. ”
