Tianjiao was born Chapter 10 A thousand-year-old temple
"First there is Chang'an Temple, and then there is Shenyang City. The temple is in the city, and the city is in the temple. ”
According to legend, when Taizong of the Tang Dynasty built the capital, Shenyang was still a wasteland. Tang Taizong came here on his eastern tour, people were sleepy and tired, rested on the spot, and saw that there was a mound in the distance, although it was not high, but there were many trees, covering the sky and the sun, so he thought of building a temple here. So he sent Wei Chi Jingde as an overseer to be responsible for the construction of Chang'an Temple.
In the process of preparation, General Wei Chi received an urgent combat order and left the temple in a hurry. The monks didn't know where to build the mountain gate at this time, so Yu Chi Jingde pointed his flying horse whip and hurried on the road.
Therefore, the monk led the craftsmen to build a mountain gate on the north bank of the Hunhe River, where General Wei Chi's horse whip pointed. The stars are moving. Between the mountain gate and the main hall, the Shenyang Acropolis was gradually built later, forming a situation of "the city is in the temple".
In the seventh year of Yongle, the imperial court allocated funds to vigorously repair the Chang'an Temple, which gradually became the peak of incense in the north.
On the third day of March of the lunar calendar, Chang'an Temple will hold a large-scale ritual to surpass the deceased, which is famous far and wide.
After the last time I practiced swords in the rain, more than ten days have passed. Dugu Xiaotian missed his parents, and came to Chang'an Temple on March 3 to participate in the transcendent ceremony.
The ritual was over, and Xiaotian had nothing to do, so he walked around the temple casually.
Seeing that the incense in the Daxiong Treasure Hall was in full bloom, he walked in. The Daxiong Treasure Hall enshrines the three saints of the West, the eighty-eight arhats, and a number of gods.
Dugu Xiaotian glanced at it casually, and saw that the Vedic Divine General in the hall was holding the stone pillar-like demon pestle, which was very powerful.
"Long-term peace and stability, take refuge in my Buddha; Reward the good and punish the evil, Wei Tuo subdued the demons," Xiao Tian had a flash of inspiration in his mind, "Could it be that this sentence is related to the Wei Tuo Law of Chang'an Temple?" He thought to himself.
Dugu Xiaotian walked around the statue of Vedic twice. It was found that on the back of the Vedic pestle, there was a patch of lacquer. The paint has accumulated dust for a long time, and it is not much different from the whole, and it is difficult for ordinary people to detect it closely. However, Xiaotian already has a high level of internal strength, and he can clearly detect everything in the dark room and discover the abnormality.
At this time, there were still many pilgrims in the Daxiong Treasure Palace, and it was inconvenient for Xiaotian to check in detail, so he withdrew from the Daxiong Treasure Palace.
At the third watch of the night, Dugu Xiaotian put on a night coat, covered his face with a black scarf, and came to the Daxiong Hall of Chang'an Temple.
The lights of the Daxiong Treasure Hall are not extinguished all year round, and the monks who are guarding them have fallen asleep at this time.
Xiaotian came to the Wei Tuo Demon Pestle, pulled out the Pingtian Sword, and gently scraped it a few times on the touch-up paint.
After a few moments, the patent leather peeled off, revealing a picture of mountains and rivers, with four Chinese characters in the upper left corner: "Ulan Hada".
"This is the Houyuan treasure map?" Dugu smiled and thought darkly, and there was no tool to rub it in his hand at this time, so he silently wrote it down. Draw it twice more in the palm of your hand to make sure you remember correctly.
"The two million Han people in the north are suffering from hunger and cold, and if there is a treasure, it can relieve the suffering of hundreds of people." Xiaotian muttered to himself.
"It's just that wealth touches people's hearts, if the treasure is corrupted by corrupt officials and corrupted officials, and those with unrighteous hearts get it, it will hurt the people even more."
He pondered for a moment, then stretched out his right hand and silently used his internal strength to erase the words and patterns from the Veda Demon Pestle. He took up the old patent leather and dust from the ground and smeared it on it, so that the pestle could hardly see any signs of movement.
After doing this, Dugu Xiaotian exhaled lightly and looked carefully at the other directions in the hall.
Tonight, the moonlight is bright, and the light is sprinkled on the statue of the god in the Daxiong Treasure Hall, as if covered with a layer of clear light.
Xiaotian looked at the eighty-eight Arhats with different postures, and his heart was slightly cold. These 88 arhats sit or stand, stretch out their legs or palms, or swing their fists or shake their arms, which implies the meaning of martial arts.
During the day, there were many pilgrims, and they were very noisy, and they didn't notice it. Now in the dead of night, the bright moon is shining, but the statue of Arhat is extraordinary.
Dugu Xiaotian looked at the eighty-eight Arhats carefully for a long time, and began to imitate the postures of the Arhats one by one. He imitated it again, and the Hongmeng Jin in his body actually started to work quickly automatically.
"This is a set of martial arts!" Dugu Xiaotian was shocked, at this time, the Hongmeng energy in his body was agitated, and he hurriedly used Zhou Tian's method to guide the Hongmeng Jin to the various points in the body. At the same time, he began to repeat the posture of the eighty-eight arhats.
Gradually, Xiaotian entered a state of forgetting things and himself, and in his mind, the blue air mass flickered twice. Xiaotian's body naturally made eighty-eight different movements in turn, all in one go, like flowing water.
In the early years of the Tang Dynasty, the world was in turmoil. For the sake of the common people in the world, Shaolin Temple sent warrior monks to join the army to assist Li Shimin in fighting the world. Among them, 13 people, including the warrior monks Huichang, Tanzong, and Zhijian, helped to break the siege in Li Shimin's crusade against Wang Shichong, and made great contributions. Tang Taizong Li Shimin later made Tanzong a monk and a general.
When this Chang'an Temple was built, the Shaolin warrior monks in the Tang Army also participated.
At that time, the north was initially determined, and the danger was everywhere. They took great pains to leave the superior Arhat boxing techniques in the Shaolin Seventy-two Masterpieces that they had learned for many years in these eighty-eight Arhats. I hope to use this to strengthen the northern martial arts and expand the territory for the Han people, but I don't want to achieve Dugu Xiaotian today.
During the Liang Datong period, the Tianzhu monk Bodhidharma gave a speech in the Shaolin Temple of Songshan, and saw that the monks were yellow and thin, and their spirits were not lifted, so they said: "Although the monks do not focus on the body, they should not be unclear about sex, so that the soul is separated." If you want to understand nature, you must first strengthen your body, then your body is strong and your soul is easy to understand. So the Bodhidharma patriarch created the basic routine of Arhat boxing and taught it to the monks.
The Arhat boxing method implied in the statue of Arhat is the superior martial arts created by the Bodhidharma Patriarch, paying attention to the head like a wave, the hand like a meteor, the body like a willow, and the feet like a drunkard.
An hour later, Xiao Tian struck the implied fist technique of the eighty-eight Arhat statues 9 times, and at this moment, he was full of energy, and he completely woke up from the state of epiphany.
He only felt that the true strength of Hongmeng in his body was more abundant, and his qi had traveled through a hundred acupoints, and he had already reached the realm of the middle stage of the fifth level.
Although Dugu Xiaotian couldn't figure out the origin of this boxing method, he knew that this boxing method was extremely extraordinary. He bowed down to the statues of the Arhats, "Today I have the guidance of the high monks, and the smile is remembered in my heart." In the future, we will save the suffering and save the suffering, and accumulate virtue! ”
With that, he bowed to the Arhat three times and then stood up.
At this time, it was already more than half of the fourth watch, Dugu Xiaotian no longer stayed, left the Daxiong Treasure Palace, performed light skills, and returned to the courtyard of the Golden Sword Gate.
"I only got half of the treasure map, and without the other half, it was useless for the time being. I still practice martial arts diligently, walk the rivers and lakes, and help the needy. Dugu smiled and thought darkly.
In his own courtyard, he slowly beat Luohan boxing again, and fell asleep when he got out of bed with a smile.
