I knelt at the gate of the Shaolin Temple. The abbot brought a group of monks to watch as if they were monkeys.

The abbot cleared his throat and said, "Little benefactor." Eighteen days ago, I asked the monk to send you a message, I want you as a person, and you still kneel for 21 days, do you still plan to kneel all the time?

My eyes widened and I asked the abbot why he hadn't been notified by anyone. The monk from the personnel department coughed, saying that maybe the monk resigned before he could convey the abbot's message. I fainted and fell to the ground.

After waking up, it was already in the wing. The monk next to him said that the abbot asked. I rubbed my knees and was led by the monk to the Mahavira Hall.

The abbot asked for his name, age, and address, and replied: Zhao Xiaoer, fifteen years old, Shen Qiu.

The abbot's originally somewhat serious face immediately became happy, and said that it was a fellow countryman. Ask why you want to become a monk. I said that I didn't want to become a monk, I wanted to learn martial arts. Everyone knows that the world's martial arts come out of Shaolin. I want to learn Shaolin's martial arts for revenge.

The abbot asked what was going on. I said that since I was young enough to remember, my parents disappeared and were adopted by my uncle. At the age of fifteen...... The abbot interrupted me and said that you are fifteen years old. I'm right, it's a month ago this year, my uncle's family was completely wiped out. The scene was miserable, and he was resolutely unwilling to conduct an autopsy, and his neighbors in the village pooled two coins of silver, so he agreed.

The conclusion of the post-mortem examination was...... The abbot tilted his head and asked what the conclusion was, and I said that he had killed him. The abbot said that this is simply nonsense, and that there is a suicide that can commit suicide to the scene of the miserable scene? I shook my head and said that I had only heard from the village Wang Er Mazi that he had a stomach ache when he went up the mountain to chop wood, and when he squatted in the grass on the side of the mountain to relieve his hands, he had seen several masked people walking towards the village, and the weapon of the leader was a sword.

The abbot asked what kind of sword? I said I don't know, Wang Er Mazi said that the sword was unsheathed, but wrapped in cloth, and the other party was not wrapped properly, and the exposed part of the sword was purple.

After hearing this, the abbot sat up again and said, Do you know what our Shaolin martial arts are used for? No, we don't learn martial arts to kill people, we only learn martial arts to strengthen our bodies and prolong our lives. Although your family is miserable, although I said that I would take you in eighteen days ago, I decided not to teach you martial arts.

I was a little anxious and asked the abbot: How old is the longest-lived monk in Shaolin since records began? The abbot blurted out: Ninety-six years old. I asked the abbot again, three hundred miles to the west, the old people in Changshou Village all died after they were 100 years old, and the longest record was 118 years old, they were just farmers, did they practice martial arts?

The abbot was speechless for a moment.

At noon the next day, the abbot led me to the Damour Academy. The first seat of the Dharma Academy and the abbot are both Hui characters, the abbot is called Huineng, and the first seat of the Dharma Academy is called Huien. Hui En's prestige is very high. Legend has it that Hui En once helped the villagers go up the mountain to fight tigers with his bare hands, and legend has it that Hui En once went to the sea to help fishermen fight sharks with his bare hands. Fighting tigers and sharks doesn't matter whether it's true or not, the focus is on bare hands. In the martial arts, there are many people with swords on their backs, and those who walk the rivers and lakes without self-defense weapons are only top masters like Huien.

Hui En is the only player in Shaolin Temple to participate in the martial arts league main competition thirteen years ago. However, he only won the second place. The reason is that when the final competition for the championship was a hidden weapon, Hui Enyi was bold and wanted to catch the hidden weapon empty-handed. It's just that the opponent's Wudang faction plays yin, and the hidden weapons shot are all spiky and the thorns are barbed spherical objects, yes, just like sea cucumbers. Hui En didn't know it, so she played the trick of Double Dragon and Pearl, connected her hands, and then couldn't shake it off...... Then Hye-eun wasted her hands, and it is said that she even struggled to hold chopsticks.

Shaolin naturally did not become the leader of the martial arts alliance.

The abbot said to Hui Eun, "I'll leave this kid to you." Hui En asked me, do you have any foundation, such as boxing and stuff, and I shook my head. Hui En nodded, picked up a small pebble from the ground and stuffed it into my hand, pointed to the wall that was excavated ten zhang, and said I look at your quasi-head, there is a lotus flower on the wall, do you see it? Hui En said that if you hit the lotus center, I will directly accept you as an apprentice, and if you hit the lotus leaf, I will accept you as an apprentice, and when you hit the outside, I can only accept you as an apprentice.

I aimed at the center of the lotus flower and flicked the stone out with my index finger. Ten rings.

Both Hye-eun and the abbot have grown mouths. Because not only did it hit the center, but the stone also sank into the wall.

Hui En asked: Do you have internal strength?

I told Hui En truthfully, I don't know what internal strength is, when I was a child herding sheep, I was really bored, so I picked up some stones and threw them at the tree, and slowly hit the tree. I once met an old man with a white beard and white hair, and he said that you can't throw it like this, the wolf will come and eat the sheep, and your stone can hit the wolf at most, but can you kill the wolf? I shook my head. He said that he taught me qigong and that it could increase my strength. Then every morning I came out to herd the sheep, and I meditated and practiced qigong with the white-bearded grandfather under the tree. Later, I threw the tree with stones, and the tree was covered with stones, like pockmarked faces.

Speaking of which, I pointed to the abbot's face.

Hui En took my pulse, nodded and said to the abbot: It is the internal strength of this door.

The abbot asked me, do you see what Grandpa Whitebeard looks like? I shook my head again, and said that I was still young at that time, and I only remember that Whitebeard and white hair were a lot of them.

The abbot and Hui Eun touched their bald heads at the same time and furrowed their eyebrows.

Hui En said: No matter so much, anyway, you are my disciple, I will give you a Dharma name called Zhishan.

The abbot continued: You are a disciple of Senior Brother Hui'en, and you are also my disciple. Zhishan, do you have any other skills?

I thought about it and said catch fish.

The two of them were very curious and asked how to catch it? I said empty-handed.

Hui En smiled when she heard the word "empty hand", touched her beard and said I will take a look at your performance.

The two of them took me to the pond in the back mountain. I stripped naked and stood by the river staring into the water. Seeing a fish swim by, I swooped into the river, then grabbed the fish with both hands and held it ashore.

The abbot took the fish from my hand and said Zhishan, how did you catch it?

I thought about it and said: fast, accurate, ruthless.

With a "snap," the abbot struck him with an ear scraper and said that you can't say the word "ruthless"! The monks pay attention to the four prestige and five precepts, and you have just broken the verbal precepts. We are all monks, we love peace, our eyes are full of true love, such as the word "ruthless", which is uncivilized, vulgar, negative and dark. You can't say the word "ruthless" anymore, you know?

I covered my face and nodded.

The abbot walked away with the fish in his hand.

From then on, Huien was my second master, and Abbot Huineng was my master. Master Hui En taught me martial arts, and the abbot taught me Zen.

Because I am a wise generation, I have an extremely high rank in Shaolin Temple. Most of the monks would call me Uncle or Uncle Shi when they saw me, and some even called me Uncle Shizu, which made me very embarrassed because I felt that my martial arts were not as good as theirs. I told the abbot about this idea, but the abbot was very indifferent, and he said that you are still in the delusion of "fame", what is the seniority? Can you see it? Can you touch it? You can't see it and you can't touch it, it's just nothing. Nothingness, like air, is light. If you value it, you will fall into fame.

I asked the abbot how many delusions there are in the world, and the abbot said that there are countless of them, but the summary is the four words "fame, fortune and money".

I asked the abbot rhetorically, money can be seen and touched, and money is not a vain thing, nor is it as light as air, why is it also a delusion?

The abbot thought for a while and said that you should practice martial arts first. I haven't organized the language yet.

A week later, it was my shaving ceremony.

I knelt in front of the Buddha, clasped my hands together, bowed my head and asked the abbot if he could not shave his head. The abbot said that if you can convince me, I will not shave you.

I looked up and pointed to the Buddha statue of Shakyamuni and asked the abbot, why does he have hair? and curly hair?

The abbot said nonsense, the difference between a Buddha and a monk is here, you are a monk now, you are not a Buddha yet.

I asked again, why can a Buddha have hair, but we monks can't have it?

The abbot said that the process of cultivation from a monk to a Buddha is the process of pursuing hair from nothing. The Buddha is very powerful and can call the wind and rain. Don't you feel embarrassed that you don't have that ability, you still have your hair, but others think you're a Buddha?

I said Master Abbot, you are also famous.

So the abbot allowed me not to shave my degree and lead the practice with my hair.

I get up every morning, go to the hall with my teachers and nephews to recite Buddhist scriptures, have breakfast after reading, and then go to the Dharma Academy to practice martial arts.

Master Hui En said that there are ninety-nine eighty-one Shaolin boxing, and asked me what I liked. I asked if there was anything powerful, one punch to break Yue, two punches to intercept the river, such a powerful one, Hui En said yes, Dharma Vajra fist. I asked if it was difficult to learn, and Hui En said I don't know if it is difficult for you to learn, since the history of Shaolin Temple, there are only three people who have learned. I asked which three, and he said that he didn't know the first two, and the third was himself. After speaking, the corner of Master Hui'en's mouth showed a smug smile.

I said just learn this. So, every day Hui En asked me to practice Dharma Vajra.

After practicing in the morning, practice swords in the afternoon.

Similarly, I asked Master Hui En what swordsmanship was the most powerful.

Hui En said: Shaolin swordsmanship is pitiful, there are only three kinds. Drinking Sword, Chivalry Sword and Dharma Vajra Sword. The power of the sword is average, but the sword dancing posture is free and easy, and the layman will be relaxed and happy; the power of drinking the sword is actually acceptable, but it needs to be combined with drinking, in fact, it is a drunken sword; the power of the vajra sword is the greatest, and it cannot be said to be the largest, it depends on how the person who makes the sword, the person who is masculine enough, the vajra sword is invincible, like my Huien, in fact, my vajra sword was originally very powerful, but because something happened, the power of my vajra swordsmanship has become weaker, so I don't need it.

I asked the master what had happened, this swordsmanship had become weaker.

Hui En struggled for a long time, and finally said: If you want to learn this swordsmanship, don't sleep with a woman in this life.

I don't know why the Vajra swordsmanship becomes weaker when I sleep with women, I only know that I entered Shaolin to learn the most powerful martial arts, and find the enemy with the purple sword to avenge my uncle's family. As for whether I want to sleep with a woman or not, I don't care at all.

I chose the Vajra Sword Technique. The reason why the Vajra swordsmanship was chosen was not only because the Vajra swordsmanship was the most powerful, but more importantly, the names of the heroic sword and the drinking sword were not very good.

After dinner, I went to the hall to recite the scriptures, and after a stick of incense, I went to the abbot to listen to the lecture.

The abbot asked me, "Do you know what is in the world?"

I can't see it, I can't touch it, it's nothing, it's as light as air.

The abbot nodded with satisfaction.

I remembered that I had asked him about his money earlier, so I mentioned it again. The abbot took out a worn copper plate and slowly scratched it on the floor tiles, making a screeching sound. The abbot asked me, "Do you think this sound is good?"

I shook my head and said, "But it can buy things."

The abbot picked up the money and handed it to my palm, and then asked me: Do you think it looks good?

I shook my head anyway and said, "But it can buy things."

The abbot said that such an unsmellable and invisible copper thing, what do you care so much about him?

I muttered: But it can buy things.

The abbot was anxious, took out a bowl and said that if you are hungry, take it to turn into fate, if you are thirsty, take it to hold water, you don't need money to eat and drink, it can be seen that money is dispensable, and the existence of money is insignificant to us monks, and it is not worth paying attention to. So it's also a delusion, do you understand now?

I thought about it and nodded.

I took the bowl and asked the abbot, can I use it to turn money into money?

The abbot hit an ear scraper, and he said: That's the beggars.
