Chapter 2 Shaolin Theft
Since he decided to go to the Shaolin Temple to steal the Yijin Sutra, more than seven days have passed.
In the past seven days, in order to make it easier for him to travel, he exchanged the modern handicrafts on his body for silver taels, and he used the money to buy some dry food.
Then he began to hurry, during which there were several times in the wrong direction, bumps, and seven days, he came to the foot of Songshan Mountain.
The only thing that made him thankful was that the location he crossed over was fortunately in the Central Plains, otherwise, he couldn't be sure how far he would have to go.
Of course, if he had the money, he could buy a carriage and hire a coachman, and it would all be perfectly solved.
But the problem is that he has no money, and the money he only has in exchange for some handicrafts is only enough to buy dry food.
Fortunately, the Shaolin Temple is already close at hand, as long as he can find a way to get the Yijin Sutra and learn this peerless martial art, he will no longer have to worry about the money.
After all, with great strength, aren't these things outside the body easily solved?
Shaolin Temple Mountain Gate.
This ancient temple is very well repaired, on both sides of it, towering trees stand in the sky, and under its mountain gate, there are hundreds of stone steps, inclined upwards.
Yang Tian was still in the distance, and he smelled the smell of incense and candles in the air, which shows how prosperous the incense of Shaolin Temple is.
has come to the mountain gate of Shaolin Temple, and Yang Tian is not in a hurry.
In order to get the Yijin Sutra, along the way, he had already thought of many ways to sneak into the Shaolin Temple in his heart.
One of the safest ways is to pretend to be a monk and infiltrate the Bodhi Monastery of Shaolin Temple.
It's just that he didn't want to put a ring scar on his head, so this method was vetoed by him.
Now he has to choose another way, which is to choose a good time and sneak in.
Fortunately, the place Yang Tian needs to go to is the Bodhi Temple, not the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion where the sweeping monks are stationed, so the chance of encountering the sweeping monks is reduced.
Yang Tian has read the original work of Tianlong Babu, although he doesn't know that he is now in the film and television of Tianlong Babu, or the fantasy world depicted in the original book, but he will never deviate from his sect, as long as he can smoothly enter the Bodhi Temple, open the bronze mirror with the scriptures, and the genuine Sanskrit Yijin Sutra will be in hand.
Doesn't it feel simple?
It is indeed very simple, Yang Tian knows the secret words of the bronze mirror, "A dream is like this", but it is difficult now, it is difficult for him to enter the Bodhi Academy.
Although the Bodhi Monastery is not as important as the Scripture Pavilion for the Shaolin Temple, there are still a few monks guarding the Bodhi Monastery every day.
"It's still early, I'm pretending to be a pilgrim and going to Shaolin Temple to step on the point first. Yang Tian looked at the sky, it was just after noon, and it was still early before dark, and he immediately had a plan in his heart.
At the entrance of the temple, two novices are waiting to greet and bid farewell to the pilgrims.
Although Shaolin Temple is a holy place of martial arts, its identity as a Buddhist sect will not change, and there are not many pilgrims who come and go to Shaolin Temple to burn incense and worship Buddha.
Yang Tian walked up the steps, came to the door, and recited in his mouth: "Amitabha, the two little masters are polite." ”
"The donor is polite, do you need any help?" The two novices were eleven or twelve years old, and when they saw Yang Tian performing the Buddha ceremony, they hurriedly returned the salute.
"Of course I need help, I want the Yijin Sutra, can you help me take it out?" Yang Tian was slandered in his heart, but he smiled on his face: "I came to burn incense and worship the Buddha, I am not familiar with the mountain gate of Shaolin Temple, I wonder if I can ask the two little masters to introduce me?"
For Shaolin Temple, Yang Tian is really unfamiliar, after all, he has never seen but heard of it, if there is a familiar person to help him lead the way, it will save a lot of trouble, and the two little novices in front of him are still young, and they should be very easy to fool, and they are simply the best candidates to lead the way.
When the little novice heard this, he was embarrassed: "Donor, we can't leave the mountain gate without permission, if you are not familiar with the mountain gate, go to the Daxiong Treasure Palace, there will be a senior brother to introduce you." ”
Yang Tian saw that the two novices did not agree, and he had another plan in his heart, and said: "Little master, I first came to Guibao Temple, where is the Daxiong Treasure Hall in your mouth?
"This!" The two little novices glanced at each other, and one of them said, "Xuanyang, you take this donor with you, I'll guard the mountain gate here first!"
"Okay!" Xiao Shami, who was known as Xuanyang, nodded, and then said to Yang Tian: "Donor, please, come with me!"
"Then thank you, little master. When Yang Tian heard this, he hurriedly thanked him, and then quietly kept up with the pace of the little novice.
Along the way, Yang Tian took advantage of the fact that Xiao Shami was not paying attention, looked around, remembered the location of some buildings in his heart, and asked Xiao Shami from time to time how many temples there were in Shaolin Temple.
Although Yang Tian is not familiar with Shaolin Temple, as far as he knows, there are not many palace attics in Shaolin Temple, including the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, the Daxiong Treasure Hall, the Bodhi Temple, the Taoist Institute and so on.
This does not include the well-known One Courtyard and Four Halls, which refers to the Dharma Academy, which is the place where Shaolin monks study martial arts, and ordinary pilgrims are not allowed to enter.
The four halls include the Prajna Hall, the Arhat Hall, the Precept Hall, and the Zhike Hall.
The Pranya Hall is the place where the Shaolin Temple studies the martial arts of the various sects and sects of the rivers and lakes, the Luohan Hall is the hall for teaching the martial arts of Shaolin disciples, and the Precept Hall is the hall set up to punish the disciples who violate the Shaolin rules.
As for Zhiketang, it is a place to receive some Jianghu martial arts people.
It can be seen that there are many temples and palaces in Shaolin Temple.
Fortunately, Yang Tian has a clear goal, as long as he knows where the Bodhi Academy is, and then finds a way to sneak in, it is equivalent to half the success.
On the way, Yang Tian knocked on the side, wanting to ask a little about the situation from the mouth of the little novice, but the little novice was very tight, just not to leak a little information, which made him very hurt, and felt that this world was too sinister, he couldn't even fool a twelve or thirteen-year-old little novice, how could he fool those martial arts masters on the rivers and lakes?
Especially when Yang Tian thought that Duan Yu was ignored by Wang Yuyan after listening to the Perfume Pavilion, he began to be angry and diligent in learning martial arts, and his heart was even more panicked.
"Senior Brother Kongdu, this donor is going to burn incense and worship the Buddha in the temple, but he is not familiar with the road, so I brought him to you. ”
After a short time, Shami took Yang Tian through several courtyards and came to a square, and in front of the square, there was a large hall, which was the Daxiong Treasure Hall.
In the square, there is a large incense burner, and some pilgrims are offering incense around, and some monks with empty characters are greeting them.
The disciples of the empty character generation of Shaolin Temple are the disciples of the youngest generation, and there are four generations of wisdom, void, xuan, and spirit.
"Got it, Xuanyang, go down. The monk known as Kongdu nodded to Xuanyang, then folded his hands and said to Yang Tian next to him: "Amitabha, the donor is polite, the incense and candles are here, if you need anything, please do it." ”
Shaolin Temple does not need to give money to buy incense candles first, there is a merit box next to it, after burning incense, you can throw as much money into it.
Buddhists call this making merit.
"It seems that I have to smash all the silver taels left on my body today to know the location of the Bodhi Academy. ”
The lukewarm attitude of emptiness made Yang Tian have a bad premonition for a while, he was an outsider after all, just a pilgrim, and he was going to leave after burning incense and worshipping the Buddha, and the other party's attitude was also expected by him.
If he wants to stay for a longer period of time, it's not impossible, then he needs to go to every temple dedicated to the Bodhisattva Arhat to burn some incense, but after burning the incense, it's impossible not to put money into the merit box next to it, right?
This circle of incense burned, and the few taels of silver left on his body were afraid that he would have to put them all in.
"Fight, no pay, the harvest from there!" Yang Tian gritted his teeth, immediately reached out and took the incense candle next to the incense burner, and pretended to worship solemnly.
After the incense was applied, Yang Tian took out a few pieces of broken silver from his cuffs, and selected one of them and put it in the merit box.
When he took out the silver, Yang Tian still made a lot of determination, as the saying goes, he can't bear the wolf if he can't bear the child, and he can be regarded as fighting for the sake of Yi Jinjing.
After all, he only has five or six taels of silver on him, if he can't get the Yi Jin Jing and puts all his money into it, he will have to endure the rest of the days.
"Amitabha, the donor has a heart. ”
Yang Tian's piece of broken silver went down, and the emptiness next to him could be seen clearly, and he immediately said a Buddha name, and his expression became better.
You must know that a piece of broken silver has a few dollars, which is a few hundred copper plates, Yang Tian's approach, in the eyes of emptiness, is undoubtedly devout to the heart of the Buddha.
"Amitabha, this master, I still need to go to other bodhisattvas to offer incense, please lead the way. ”
Yang Tian saw that the attitude of this empty monk had changed, and he was immediately relieved, at least in this way, it made him feel that his money was not wasted.
