Volume 1 Mountains and Orchids Chapter 20 Morning Bell and Dusk Drum 1 Monastery I

Li Ye slept in the meditation room this night, before the hour came, he was woken up by the bell in the temple, washed his face and brushed his teeth, went to the master's Buddhist hall to find the old monk, and went to the main hall together.

Half an hour later, the chanting of the main hall was completed. Hearing the soft sound of the cloud board, they all lined up to the dining hall, accompanied by the Vena Master's voice to make offerings to the pure Dharma body, and the sutra of eating and reciting began, and after chanting, it was time to eat.

Li Ye practiced with his husband, but he was also accustomed to the practice rules of the temple, and ate quietly with the master, and when he was done, he washed his dishes and put them back in his place.

Following the old monk on the way back to the Buddha Hall, the old monk whispered softly in front of him, as if talking to himself, as if he was saying to Li Yeye:

Morning bells and dusk drums, the sound of the Buddha's horn, Alan Ruo, a monastery.

Green light and yellow scroll, cultivating precepts and wisdom, learning and learning, a monk.

Li Ye followed, clasped his hands together, and read the scriptures in his mouth. Because he wanted to practice, the old monk found a coarse cloth coat for Li Ye, and he looked like a little monk practicing in the temple.

The two did not go back to the Buddha Hall, but bypassed the cloister and arrived at a courtyard behind the Old Monk's Buddha Hall, where the ground was paved with cyan stone bricks, and a few Bodhi trees were planted around, and the wide Bodhi leaves rustled in the morning breeze.

Li Ye walked into the courtyard, took a horse step, and prepared to start practicing according to the boxing method on the boxing book.

The old monk meditated under the eaves corridor, looked at Li Ye's appearance, and preached:

Legend has it that outside the temple where the Venerable Fuhu lived, there were often tigers who roared because of hunger, and the Venerable Fuhu gave his own food to the tiger, and after a long time, the tiger was subdued by him, and often played with him, so he was also called the Fuhu Arhat.

The essence of Luohan Boxing Buddhism covers many routines such as Luohan Eighteen Hands, Small Luohan Boxing, and Big Luohan Boxing. Short, compact, flexible and changeable, the boxing method focuses on fast advance and retreat, plus rushing. Circle, hang, kick, bounce, hook, split, etc., the technique is flexible in attack and defense, and it is a very distinctive boxing method.

Aim your opponent sideways in the middle of your opponent, and your front hand is like a bow, adapting to the situation. With inch strength or defense or offense, the back hand to follow, or up or down, guarding the ribs.

Leg kung fu can not be ignored, Fuhu Arhat boxing with a variety of pace, large concealment, the center of gravity is quite stable, can be surprised, one move to defeat the enemy.

"This Fuhu boxing method is easy to learn and difficult to master, there are monks in the temple to practice, but it is difficult to cultivate to the fullest, your body foundation is under the conditioning of Mr. Mo, the practice is very good, I hope you can cultivate this boxing method to the fullest, and even surpass the predecessors. ”

He Lao Shang looked at the apprentice who was walking with a kind face, and said in his heart: Maybe he will really let him practice.

Li Ye was born with the meridians of his whole body opened up by the heavenly thunder, and the master did not let him practice with his husband until he was five years old, and the master only taught him to make tea, play the piano, and let Li Ye practice qi and temper his body through medicinal baths and xuanjia. Although the realm has reached the triple foundation building, he does not know kendo and boxing, and it is not until today that he began the practice of the first set of boxing techniques in his life in the old monk.

"You practice by yourself first, go to the Buddha Hall to make tea for the teacher, and you can also come over and drink it later. After saying that, the old monk left by himself.

Li Ye nodded and returned to the master. All my thoughts are immersed in boxing.

Quietly inhaled a breath, the whole body lying on the ground, the forearm bent and turned, so that the fist face up, the foot plantar force to the ground, the legs straight, and then the force on the elbows, the force to the ground, so that the whole body up, except for the elbows and plantar two parts of the ground, the rest are volleyed, when the cooking is raised, the fall is calmed for a while......

After a while, a whirlwind blew in the courtyard, followed by Li Ye's fist, like an autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves.

......

It is said that Agui came out of the academy early in the morning, came to the East Street, the splendid garment village near the red sleeve building, and found the shopkeeper and said that he wanted to find a master with better craftsmanship and go to the Big Buddha Temple to measure a few clothes for the old monk.

When the shopkeeper heard this, he beckoned the gray-bearded old man in the house and said, "This is the best Master Zheng here, let him go with you, it is also our blessing to be able to make monk's clothes for the old monk, this salary will not be charged, only the cost." ”

Ah Gui hurriedly thanked him, saying that the young master of the academy must pay the master, and led the master out of the door after speaking. The two of them sat in the carriage of the garment village and went all the way to the Big Buddha Temple.

On the carriage, Master Zheng looked at Ah Gui and said with a nostalgic face: "I remember that many years ago, I went to the temple to measure a few clothes for the master, he was too frugal, I am afraid that he has not added new clothes for many years." Now that your young master can think of making clothes for the master, my heart is full of joy. ”

Ah Gui nodded and said, "This is the first money our young master earned, and he didn't spend anything, so it's rare to think about making clothes for his talented monk master first." ”

"Your master has a kind heart, and he will accumulate blessings early, and he will naturally have good fortune in the future. Like the people of the world, they only know what to ask the Bodhisattva for, and when have they thought about what to give to the Bodhisattva. Master Zheng said slowly.

Ah Gui nodded and said, "Young Master is indeed like this, even the old monks of the Great Buddha Temple like him." ”

"I've heard about your young master, he's a good boy. ”

The conversation was rising, and before I knew it, the carriage had already arrived in front of the Big Buddha Temple, the coachman parked the car, Agui helped the master to get out of the car, and the two walked towards the temple.

"Agui, stop!" was walking, the sleeves were pulled, and Agui looked back: the young lady in a red dress and Luo skirt pulled herself, followed by an Oriental Yuer in a green dress.

Ah Gui stopped and saluted the two of them, and said, "The two little princesses also came to the temple to burn incense and worship the Buddha?"

The little lady asked Agui's little face red, and she glanced at her and said, "It is natural to worship the Buddha, let me ask you, where is Li Ye hiding, take me to meet him." Dongfang Yu'er also looked at Agui with a look of anticipation.

"I'm taking my master to measure Li Ye's old monk master's clothes, don't delay. Agui gently broke free of the young lady's hand and said with a fist. Then I walked with the master to the temple.

"That's it, then let's go see the old monk master first, Yu'er, do you say it" The young lady pulled Dongfang Yu'er and followed Agui forward.

Ah Gui nodded, led a few people, and walked to the old monk's Buddhist hall.

The old monk in the Buddhist hall came back from the backyard, rested for a while, and then made a pot of tea by himself, while reciting the scriptures, while tasting tea, thinking that Li Ye, a child with high understanding and hard work, is really a rare good seedling.

The old monk chanted the scriptures in his mouth, and saw Agui leading an old man, and then followed the two little girls into his own Buddhist hall, thinking about what this Li Ye's apprentice was going to do?

Just as he was about to speak, Agui had already entered the Buddha Hall, knelt down and kowtowed to the old monk three times, and the old tailor also bowed to the old monk. Agui looked at the two young ladies and said, "Two princesses, this is the son's respected master Kuzen master, come and kowtow." ”

The two young ladies hung their hands, obediently walked up to the old monk, knelt down and kowtowed three times, and said, "Shangguan Wushuang (Dongfang Yu'er) has seen the master!"

Ah Gui hurriedly introduced the identities of the two young ladies to the old monk, and then pointed to the old man behind him and said: "This is the tailor that the prince invited to the master, and it is Master Zheng from the Splendid Garment Village in the city, saying that he is measuring a few clothes for the master." ”

The old tailor also stepped forward and said to the old monk: "The old man still used to make monk's clothes for the old Zen master, and it has been many years since I saw the master you add new clothes. ”

The old monk looked at the two young ladies with a kind face, and said softly: "You two little dolls are here to find Li Ye, right? He is practicing boxing in the backyard, and it just so happens that you should also go over and have a look, Agui, you take them there, and I will talk to Master Zheng for a while." ”

Ah Gui nodded, saluted the old monk again, and led the two young ladies out of the Buddhist hall.

"This is a temple, don't shout loudly for a while, it will make the old monk angry. Agui explained to the two young ladies as he walked.

The young lady and Dongfang Yu'er nodded, indicating that they knew.

When the three of them turned to the backyard, they didn't see Li Ye practicing boxing, but saw him meditating quietly under a hundred-year-old Bodhi tree.

Shangguan Wushuang approached Li Ye and shook his little hand in front of his eyes, seeing that he didn't react, and was about to push him with his hand, Dongfang Yu'er grabbed her and shook her head, meaning not to disturb him yet.

I saw that Li Ye suddenly began to exhale hard, only to spit out a white air current, and there was a swirling air flow above his head, and in less than a moment, the two air currents were entangled together, forming a cocoon-like air flow around Li Ye, turning faster and faster, and turning bigger and bigger.

The three of them were so frightened that they didn't dare to speak, so they hurriedly ran away and went to the Buddhist hall to find the old monk.

The old monk was drinking tea and chatting with the tailor master, and when he saw the three of them running in in a panic, he thought to himself, could it be that Li Ye had an accident?

It was Shangguan Wushuang who spoke first, and the young lady's face was red with fright, and she looked at the old monk and said breathlessly: "Master, master, Li Ye, he has turned into a white cocoon, you go and take a look." ”

Dongfang Yu'er also nodded at the old monk and said, "When we went, he was meditating under the Bodhi tree, and somehow there was an air current, which turned into a white spiral nest. ”

Ah Gui had never seen the young master like this, and he was stupid, so he just nodded at the old monk.

When the old monk heard this, he smiled, and said quietly to a few people, "Don't panic, this is his epiphany, it's a big opportunity." Come sit down and have tea. He took three more cups from his side, placed them on the table, and motioned for the three of them to sit down.

"When Shakyamuni attained supreme enlightenment under the Bodhi tree, he revealed that all sentient beings have the wisdom and virtue of being like the Buddha. Throughout the ages, how many people want to have an epiphany under the Bodhi tree but can't, I can't imagine that my disciple just listened to the words of the old monk, played an Arhat boxing, and had an epiphany under the Bodhi tree. What a good, so good! Nan Wu Amitabha!"
