Chapter 29 Becoming a monk
Lay disciples do not have as strict rules and regulations as monk disciples in Shaolin Temple, they spend most of their time practicing martial arts, because the only way out for lay disciples to go out of the mountain is to learn martial arts, and then break into the woodman alley, and if they succeed, they can go down the mountain, and if they fail, they can only lie down in the Yaowang Temple for a few days and then work hard to cultivate.
So there are not so many lay disciples in the TV series, basically everyone can only see each other at a meal or a big competition, if they can't be identified from their clothes, many people don't even know that the other party is their own senior brother.
Hong Xiguan and Li Qingzhu have an excellent relationship, so the two are also together when they practice, of course, they are only limited to calling each other when they practice, because the places where the two practice are different.
Hong Xiguan is good at boxing and marksmanship, and Li Qingzhu is good at legs, and both have their own strengths.
However, Shaolin Temple still has more fists, and there are very few leg methods, so Li Qingzhu will only start the basic leg method in Shaolin until now.
After coming to this shijie, Li Qingzhu probed some data on Hong Xiguan, and he could only say that he sighed with joy.
Name: Hong Xiguan
Age: 20 years old
liliang:74
Intelligence: 21
Dexterity: 87
Internal forces: 65
Skills and equipment are still undetectable, it is obvious that Hong Xiguan's overall data is much higher than that of the whirlwind kid's shijie, if it is an internal force bonus, Li Qingzhu's master, the old monk, is not Hong Xiguan's opponent.
This is related to the times, the faster the development of science and technology, the more backward martial arts are, this is a helpless thing, everyone is thinking about making money, who still thinks about traditional things?
As for Li Qingzhu, in addition to his intelligence, Liliang and agility cannot be compared with Hong Xiguan at all, not to mention internal strength, he has worked hard for so long, and his internal strength has always been in his twenties.
He thought about it, for the time being, don't think about planning, and cultivate the bodhicitta method with peace of mind.
Hong Xiguan likes to go to an open place to practice his fists and feet, while Li Qingzhu likes to meditate alone in a quiet place.
There is a bamboo forest in the mountain behind Shaolin Temple, and few people go to that bamboo forest, and it is very consistent with his name, so Li Qingzhu also likes to meditate and cross his knees in that bamboo forest.
Li Qingzhu sat cross-legged on a stone that had become extremely smooth due to years of use, his eyes slightly closed, and his body naturally relaxed.
According to the breathing instructions of the Bodhicitta Method, he slowly directs the internal forces in his body to move throughout his body.
Because it is a Buddhist mind, he pays great attention to a peaceful state of mind, and when he enters this state, the whole person will have a peaceful atmosphere.
So much so that some small birds in the bamboo forest will rest on his body or head.
Suddenly a person came down the mountain, and the little bird just looked at it, then ignored it and continued to stay on Li Qingzhu's shoulder.
The man slowly walked towards Li Qingzhu, and a red robe explained his identity, the abbot of Shaolin Temple, the best Zen master.
"Hehe, bodhicitta ......"
The little birds suddenly flew away in unison, it was not that Zhishan opened his mouth to scare them away, but that Li Qingzhu withdrew from that natural realm, and the little birds were frightened away all of a sudden.
"Master!?"
Li Qingzhu looked at Zhishan in surprise, although the lay disciples were also his disciples, but usually Zhishan basically didn't ask about their cultivation progress, and they didn't care about their living conditions, they had the name of master and apprentice, but they didn't have the reality of master and apprentice.
Although Li Qingzhu worships under the Supreme Perfection Sect, but the martial arts are taught by the senior brother Sande, how can the Sande, who was born in the Luohan Hall, know the bodhicitta method? At this moment, Li Qingzhu is a little indescribable.
Zhishan waved his hand, signaling that he didn't need to panic, and then slowly walked to his side and looked at the stone that had been polished very smooth because of the long sitting cross-legged.
I touched it with my hand, there was still residual heat, and most importantly, the surface was indeed slippery.
"How long have you been practicing this bodhichitta method?"
Zhishan raised his head and asked very usually,
"Uh...... This ...... "Li Qingzhu couldn't speak, to tell the truth it's a few months, how can he be round if he lies?
Seeing him nervous, Zhishan knew what he was worried about, so he shook his head and said, "The Bodhicitta Method is the unique internal skill of the Bodhi Academy, and it requires advanced Dharma cultivation to cultivate, and if you can cultivate, it means that your Dharma cultivation is sufficient." ”
"I don't want to ask where you came from, but if you can get it, it's your fate."
It is not that the Supreme Good did not suspect that he had stolen, cheated or robbed it, but the person who did such a thing could not practice bodhichitta on the contrary.
The bodhicitta method weishenme is called this name not only because it is the unique mind of the Bodhicitta Monastery, but because it requires a bodhichitta to practice, and people with improper mental skills can never practice, which is a distinctive feature of the bodhicitta method.
Li Qingzhu's peaceful face just now, as well as the attitude that even the birds are willing to be close to him, is enough to show that he is not such a villain.
In this case, if everyone pays attention to the supreme goodness of the dependent dharma, they will naturally not ask him how he obtained the bodhichitta dharma.
"Thank you, Master, for making it happen!"
Li Qingzhu hurriedly saluted and thanked him, if he was investigated for the best, he would be punished by the Discipline Academy, and if he was driven out of the Shaolin Temple, it would be a big loss.
"You don't have to thank me, in fact, since I came to Shaolin Temple, I haven't paid special attention to you, but after today's lecture, I found you, Hong Xiguan and Ma Ning'er, only the three of you are still sober, so I want to come over to review your cultivation."
"Hong Xiguan is a superb martial artist, and it is only a matter of time before he breaks through Muren Alley. Ma Ning'er is not talented, her understanding is not good, and her martial arts are too heavy, and she still needs to be practiced. ”
"It's ...... you"
Zhishan looked at Li Qingzhu with a kind expression, and his face seemed to be quite satisfied with him.
"Qingzhu, although your martial arts are not as good as Hong Xiguan, but your Buddha nature is the highest, one of the most difficult internal skills in my temple to practice the Bodhicitta method has been successfully cultivated by you, I intend to let you be ordained a monk, it just so happens that you are practicing the Bodhicitta method, so I want you to worship at the head of the Bodhi Academy, my junior brother is under the Yongmen, what do you think?"
After listening to the best words, Li Qingzhu was overjoyed, he was able to become an inner disciple, and he could accept more martial arts guidance, as for being a monk, Li Qingzhu had no pressure at all, he didn't reject it before, and now he won't, he didn't come out to pick up girls, as for fasting, he can also insist.
"Thank you, Master, for making it happen! The disciple is willing to take refuge in my Buddha! ”
Li Qingzhu hurriedly folded his hands and expressed his attitude to Zhishan, Zhishan looked at his expression, and his joy did not look like a fake, so he nodded with satisfaction, and Li Qingzhu's renunciation was decided.
Seven days later, Master Zhishan gathered all the disciples of the temple and said a series of miscellaneous things, and the matter of Li Qingzhu becoming a monk was also announced in Zuihou.
After that, Li Qingzhu was ordained, the law name Qingzhu, worshiped the first master of the Bodhi Monastery as a teacher, and officially became a monk of Shaolin Temple.
To be precise, Li Qingzhu's identity is similar to that of Sande monks, although they are all regular monks of Shaolin Temple, but they are not among the orthodox generations of Shaolin.
Hong Xiguan, as Li Qingzhu's good brother, is naturally really happy for him, and it is also a supreme honor to be able to be personally introduced as a disciple of the Supreme Master by the Supreme Master.
As for Ma Ning'er, it must be jealousy, envy and hatred.
