Chapter 12: Bodhi Monastery
Xie Guhong looked at a few monks and said with a smile: "What does Master Xuanku mean, do you want me to become a monk and become a monk with you?" ”
Xuan Ku bowed his head slightly and said, "Exactly." Xuan Ci and the others also looked at Xie Guhong with their eyes, all with expectations.
Xie Guhong pondered for a moment, and said secretly in his heart: "If you achieve great merit and see a great cause, your mind must not be narrow, I originally intended Buddha, Taoism, and secular, and the three families can be practiced for the exercises, and the last life is a layman, so it is okay for me to practice Buddhism in this world, but if I enter Shaolin, then I must have some limitations, and the mysterious items have not yet been found, which is a little troublesome." ”
He was thinking about it slowly, and Xuan Ci saw that he seemed to have some concerns, so he said: "Xie Shi, do you have any troubles, I don't know whether to talk about it or not?" ”
Xie Guhong said: "Then there is nothing to say, I have been in this world this time, I don't know how long, but I must find something, that thing is very important, if you can't find it, many living beings will be viciously killed by the wicked, at that time, I don't know how many people will become walking dead, how many people will be ruined." ”
Speaking of this, he solemnly looked at a few great monks and said, "Master Xuanku's method, I really want to agree, after all, if my physical body in the other world can't withstand the chaotic true qi, it will definitely end, it just depends on the length of time." But...... Ay! If I join your temple, I will definitely not have a free body, and the chance of finding mysterious treasures will be slim, and then all living beings will become walking corpses and ownerless lonely souls, then it will be even more inappropriate. Speaking of this, Xie Guhong stood up, hugged his fists and said: "Please forgive Xie for being rude, I can't promise the masters, so I will leave." ”
When the words fell, Xie Guhong turned around decisively, walked out of the Tianwang Palace, and walked along the Yongdao towards the mountain gate of Shaolin Temple. But just as he was about to step out of the mountain gate, he only heard Xuan Ci's voice behind him: "Xie Shi, go slowly, the poor monk has another word to say." ”
Xie Guhong stopped when he heard this, turned around, and said, "What else does Master Xuanci want to tell Xie Mou?" ”
Xuan Ci and Xuan Bei, Xuan Bitter, Xuan Nan The four monks quickly chased out, Xuan Ci held a book in his hand, which was the one written by Xie Guhong before, and when he got closer, he stretched out his hand and handed it over, and said, "Don't misunderstand." ”
Xie Guhong stretched out his hand to take it and said suspiciously: "What did the master say?" What kind of misunderstanding between us? ”
Xuan Ci said: "What Xie Shi said just now is quite consistent with the Buddha in the past who sacrificed his life to feed the eagle, and the poor monks and several junior disciples practiced meditation for dozens of years, which is much worse than Xie Shizhu. ”
Xuan Ku said on the side: "Yes, Xie Shi is merciful and compassionate, and he wants to sacrifice himself to save all sentient beings, and the poor monks admire him to the fullest." It's really good, it's good! Xuan Yan and Xuan Bei also clasped their palms together and bowed.
Xuan Ci said: "If I don't know, that's fine, but even if I know such things, how can I, Shaolin, let a great hero like Xie Shizhu die?" What a sin! As he spoke, he looked at the rest of the monks and continued: "The ancestral teachings are there, but Xie Shi's move is really a great mercy and great merit, even if the Buddha knows it, he will be satisfied with our dedication of the treasure scriptures." How can my temple not know the current affairs? It's just that I want to ask Xie Shi to swear that the "Yijin Sutra" will never be taught to a second person, so what's the harm in coming to study every day? ”
Xie Guhong was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately said: "I swear, if I teach the Yijin Sutra to others, then he will die one day without a place to be buried." ”
Xuan Ci said: "The oath is heavy, it's heavy." After that, he turned around and said: "Senior Brother Xuanku, you take Master Xie Shi to the Bodhi Academy to study the Yijin Sutra, and then instruct the people in the temple to say that in the future, Lord Xie can enter and leave any boundary of my Shaolin at will." ”
Xuan Ku said: "Yes." Saying that, he looked at Xie Guhong with a smile and said, "Xie Shizhu, let's go." ”
Xie Guhong will not have any contempt for their first cautious and then open way of doing things, in fact, he does things himself, when judging a thing, he needs to be cautious first, and after confirmation, he is open-minded and decisively accepts, this is really a mature man's way of doing things, and furthermore, he has always believed in the truth that he is strong and foreign enemies cannot be present, so as to follow Xuan Ku again and return along the road again.
When the two of them passed through the Tianwang Palace, there was the Mahavira Treasure Hall behind it, Xuan Ku also slowly explained to him on the side, the hall enshrined the statues of Shakyamuni, Amitabha Buddha, Medicine Buddha, the statue of Guanyin hanging behind the screen wall, and there are eighteen Arhats standing on both sides and so on.
After that, the two of them passed through the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, which is the place where the monks Tibetan scriptures are said. It is also a place where the secrets of martial arts in the temple are gathered. After they passed the Dharma Hall, they came to the abbot's room, where Xuanci lived and was the director of the council, and then the destination of their trip, the Bodhi Temple.
The Bodhi Institute of Shaolin Temple is the highest institution for the study of martial arts in Shaolin Temple, and it is also a jungle for collecting the world's kung fu and consulting Mahayana Buddhism. The main research of the "Yijin Sutra" is also the treasure of the Shaolin school.
However, at present, there has been hundreds of years for no one to understand the mystery of the Yijin Sutra, that is, the number of examples from ancient times to the present, the number of great monks from ancient times to the present, there are only three or two people who practice the Yijin Sutra. So now, the monks in the temple are not participating in it.
The first seat of the Bodhi Temple is generally held by the masters of Shaolin Temple's martial arts and Buddhism, or the eighteen Arhats. And the Shaolin Temple can stand for thousands of years, and the Shaolin Bodhi Temple is definitely indispensable.
Passing through the courtyard in front of the Bodhi Temple, the two entered it, Xuan Ku first visited the statue of Shakyamuni Buddha, and then saw that the two monks of the Hui generation were cleaning, so he said: "Hui Zhen, Hui Guan, you two go out first, I have something to say with this Xie Shi Master." ”
The two little monks, Huizhen and Huiguan, bowed together and said, "Yes, uncle, I'll go out when I'm here." So saying, he took his broom and went out of the temple gate.
Xuanku's internal strength was profound, and he listened attentively for a moment, and then said slowly: "Let Master Xie Shi see and laugh." ”
Xie Guhong said: "No, no, the stakes are very high, how can you do otherwise?" ”
Xuan bitterly smiled and said, "Thank you, please come with me." Xie Guhong didn't know what he wanted, the main hall in this Bodhi Academy, just this side of the boundary, where can you go? But he didn't ask much, and followed Xuan Ku to the right side of the three Buddha statues in the middle.
Note: "Brothers, I'm back, hey, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, I have to drink with my friends and brothers for three days in a row, but don't worry, I'm playing hard today, and I'm trying to write out the amount of these days."

By the way, please continue to support this book! ”
