Chapter Twenty-Three: Luohan Hall
In addition to Lin Chen's return this time to attend the Dharma Conference held in Tangruo City ten days later, another reason was to come back to visit his younger brother Lin Feng.
Lin Feng's name is Huiwu.
When he entered Jinshan Temple two years ago, Huiwu was not very interested in Buddhism, and the main reason for him to enter the temple was to practice martial arts.
Luohan Hall.
Huiwu, who is also highly talented, has learned martial arts since he was a child, and as soon as he entered the Arhat Hall, he was selected by the elders of the hall to become a candidate for the Eighteen Arhat Formation, and after half a year, he successfully learned the Eighteen Arhat Formation and banned the position of senior brother.
Every day, after completing the exercise explained by the elders, Huiwu will practice until late at night before he stops, and he is often called a martial idiot in the Luohan Hall.
Yesterday, when he heard that someone was going to challenge the Eighteen Arhats, Huiwu was stunned at first, and then reacted, and happily turned over a dozen fights on the spot.
After two years of practice, I was finally able to try to stretch out my hand, and Huiwu was happy thinking about it.
In the past two years, Tangruo City has also been relatively peaceful, and the warrior monks of Luohan Hall are also idle in addition to cultivation and cultivation.
"That guy who challenged him seems to be a martial artist who doesn't know how to do martial arts. Senior Brother Huilin shook his head and said.
"That's right, I heard that guy used to sweep the floor, he just passed the Dharma exam yesterday, and he only passed the Dharma exam in three years, I don't know where he got the courage. Another senior brother from Luohan Hall said.
The Luohan Hall is special in Jinshan Temple, they don't have to participate in the morning classes in the temple, and they usually practice in a closed manner, so of course what happens in the temple will not be very clear.
"Don't know martial arts?" asked Hui Wu with a frown and surprise.
"I heard that he was fined 200 rods for stealing a chicken, but he chose to challenge the Eighteen Arhat Formation, probably because he was lucky. Hui Lin sighed and said: "The eighteen Arhat Formation has existed a long time ago, and it was used to resist strong enemies, and then the scale of the Arhat Hall gradually increased, and the warrior monks did not chant much Buddha, so there were a lot of precepts. ”
"But almost all of the warrior monks who challenge are strong in martial arts, but so far, even a strong martial arts monk has not been able to pass, let alone a disciple of the outer hall?" Hui Lin continued.
"Do you think he's going to be subtle?" asked Huiwu with a glimmer of hope.
Hui Lin shook his head: "It's impossible, I heard from the outer disciple that he couldn't even beat a pheasant." ”
"This ...... Too underestimating our Luohan Hall?" Hui Wu clenched his fists and said with some annoyance.
If it was really just a powerless monk, it would be boring, Huiwu shook his head in disappointment.
Hui Lin continued: "The status of Luohan Hall in the temple is getting lower and lower, and this kind of person dares to challenge ......."
"This guy has to be taught a good lesson. Hui Wu snorted coldly and said. "The Eighteen Arhat Formation is a formation that has been continuously revised and improved for many years, and even the ** king, who defeated the head of the Elephant Country in a row, died under the formation, and he is a little monk who is really looking for death. ”
"Heaven has the virtue of a good life, I just pity this monk, you must know that once the Arhat Array is launched, it will not die. Hui Lin shook his head and said.
"He brought it on himself, and he can't blame anyone else. Huiwu said.
......
"Lin Feng!" Lin Chen shouted as he approached Luohan Hall.
Ordinary monks in the Arhat Hall of Jinshan Temple are not allowed to enter, but Lin Chen has also practiced in the Arhat Hall for a period of time, and the reputation of genius has spread throughout the temple, so no one stopped him when he came in.
Hui Wu was stunned at first, this voice was more familiar, since he had the law name, no one called him Lin Feng anymore, so it took him a long time to react: "Brother!"
"Haha!" Lin Chen walked over with a smile and patted Huiwu's shoulder: "It's a lot stronger." ”
"Brother, why are you back?" Huiwu was surprised and delighted, he respected this brother very much.
"Come back and see you, come, let's go out and talk. Lin Chen said with a smile.
"Okay, brother, do you want to make two moves?" Huiwu clenched his fists excitedly and said, he wanted to show Lin Chen the results of the past two years.
"You're still the same, you like to fight and kill all day long. Lin Chen shook his head and continued, "Then let's make two moves." ”
With that, the two looked at each other for a moment.
The wind whistled, but it was the sound of the two of them waving their fists to break the wind.
Lin Chen was secretly surprised in his heart, he couldn't imagine that Huiwu's martial arts had improved so quickly, he thought that the Luohan Hall of Jinshan Temple had declined, and it seemed that his usual training had not fallen.
"Is this a powerful Vajra hand?" Lin Chen asked suspiciously after receiving a punch from Huiwu with a frown.
"Haha, my brother has good eyesight, but this punch has been improved a little by the senior brother Huilin of Luohan Hall, and it has added a little more domineering power, but it lacks some flexibility. Huiwu also said excitedly when he heard it.
"It seems that you have really improved a lot in the past two years. Lin Chen nodded.
Huiwu was still a little confident in his growth over the years, but he was surprised as soon as he made a move with Lin Chen, and he didn't expect that Lin Chen's martial arts had not fallen at all, and the Bright Fist was powerful.
"Phew!"
The two of them collided with their fists, and the internal force suddenly exploded, and the leaves next to the town fell a lot.
"Hahaha! Refreshing!" Lin Chen took two steps back and said with a laugh.
"Hahaha......" Huiwu also laughed.
The two turned out to be tied!
Huiwu's admiration for this brother in his heart increased a little, you must know that Lin Chen's main cultivation is not martial arts, but Buddhism.
It's just that Huiwu didn't know, Lin Chen was even more shocked in his heart, Huiwu should be practicing the boxing technique of the Arhat Formation on weekdays, and only in the formation can he show the greatest power, and he didn't expect that a single fight could even be a draw.
After the two of them played, it was a daily chatter.
"Brother, have you ever heard of someone challenging the Luohan Hall recently?" Huiwu nodded and asked.
When Lin Chen heard this, his brows furrowed slightly, and he was silent for a moment before he said, "I know this person. ”
"Oh?" said Huiwu.
"This person's name is Li Bai, and his understanding of Buddhism is no less than mine, but it's a pity......," Lin Chen shook his head and said.
Huiwu was taken aback, Lin Chen was talking about the law back then, but no one was right to him except the abbot, and now three years have passed, which can be imagined.
But this Li Bai's understanding of Buddhism is even more powerful than Lin Chen's?
"But, I heard from my senior brother that he is just a little monk sweeping the floor?" Huiwu said puzzled.
"That's true, but I can't figure out how someone who understands the Dharma so deeply can break his vows. Lin Chen shook his head.
"The same was true of the Jidian monk back then, who was unmatched in the creation of Buddhism, but drank wine and ate meat all day long...... Could it be ......" Hui Wu said with a frown, he had quite an opinion about the prohibition of eating meat and drinking alcohol in the temple.
