Chapter 44: Shaolin
There is a journey of nearly 20,000 kilometers from Kunlun Mountain to Songshan where Shaolin is located, even if it is a thousand miles of horses running sleeplessly, it will take twenty days to arrive, if you meet a horse bandit or robber or something in the middle, then it may take how long it will take to get to Shaolin!
However, this world is different from what we imagined, Maxima is really a mount that ordinary disciples only ride, the most powerful is the jade lion of the night, this horse is said to have the blood of the legendary heavenly horse, day and night day and night Run, can run tens of thousands of kilometers, produced in the Western Regions. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Although Kunlun does not have wild jade lions, after thousands of years of domestication, the Kunlun faction still has some of its own jade lions. Although it is not as much as the wild one day and night running thousands of miles, the night jade lion raised by this family also has a speed of nearly eight thousand miles. It seems to be very powerful to be seen as a jade lion in the night, but the food of a jade lion in the night is nearly a thousand taels of silver every month. If you think about it, ordinary people can buy ten catties of rice with a flash of silver, and you will know the horror of this data.
Therefore, every big faction can only exist with its profound heritage, and the Kunlun faction relies on millions of miscellaneous disciples and the vast number of ordinary people, if there is no such foundation, it is really unimaginable!
Zhengxin and Wang Hao and others had a separate relationship with the head of the house who came to see them off. hurriedly embarked on the road to Shaolin.
Zhengxin and others are impressively the jade lion of the night, of course, Zhengxin and others cannot run to Shaolin day and night. Add the trivia on the way. So the time for Zhengxin and the others to arrive in Shaolin is about a week!
"Drive!"
At the foot of the mountain, Zhengxin and the others clamped the horse's belly between their legs and walked away.
The blue sky, the white clouds, the wild wind, and the mountains near Kunlun, the closer to Shaolin, the more the endless plains and the land of the flat river.
Everything is presented in the eyes of Zhengxin, riding the jade lion in the night, galloping, Zhengxin has an urge to look up to the sky and roar, just like the protagonist of martial arts, this time to go, it must be a famous town, and it is finally time for him to show his strength!
Dada.............
Several horse bandits appeared near Zhengxin.
"Boss, who are those people? What kind of horses are so good-looking, so fast. Boss, let's go and rob them!" a horse bandit looked at the jade lion in the night and drooled, so he turned back to the horse bandit leader and said.
"You little rabbit cub, don't you want to die? Don't you see the white Kunlun disciple clothes they are wearing? These people look like they are from the Kunlun faction, you kid is too long-lived. When the leader of the bandits heard this, he turned around and yelled.
When I heard that these people were actually disciples of the Kunlun faction, I immediately shrank my head, and I didn't even dare to look at those good horses anymore!
Seeing this scene, Zhengxin and the others also ignored these horse bandits, and they did encounter a lot of this situation all the way from the Kunlun faction to here, but most of them were scared away by the reputation of the Kunlun faction!
The crowd continued to keep their horses moving, not paying the slightest attention to the gaze of the people on the side of the road.
Shaolin Temple is located in Dengfeng Songshan, Henan, and the temple is grand. From the mountain gate to the Thousand Buddha Palace, a total of seven courtyards, with a total area of 30,000 square meters. The main entrance of the mountain gate is a single-eaves hilltop building with a width of three rooms, it is located on a 2-meter-high brick platform, with a hard mountain-style side door and a figure-eight wall on the left and right, and the overall configuration is very magnificent. There are three big characters of "Shaolin Temple" written by someone on the forehead of the door, and its pen body is vigorous and powerful, both handsome and delicate. It also adds a brilliant scenery. I don't know why, although the three big characters of Shaolin Temple this time made Zhengxin feel shocked, but it didn't have the feeling of entering a fantasy last time.
The whole temple is antique, ancient bricks, ancient tiles and ancient trees, and a scene and a thing have been weathered by history. Each building looks old and profound, with depth and breadth, without a bit of decay. A building complex is a treasure trove of art, flying beams and paintings are layered on top of each other, these wooden buildings do not need an iron nail, all rely on the teeth of each beam and column, resist each other, and steadily support a building for hundreds of years, or even thousands of years. The meticulous artistic conception of these skilled craftsmen is truly incredible. There are also carvings on those beams and pillars, I don't know how the predecessors carved these beautiful artistic patterns. In the scripture building, I don't know how many martial arts masterpieces are stored. Thousands of years of changes have not been able to change the color of this ancient temple. It deserves to be the first major faction in the ages!
There is a pair of stone lions in front of the mountain gate, male and female opposite, carved in the Qing Dynasty. As soon as you enter the mountain gate of Shaolin Temple, Maitreya Buddha is offered in the Buddha shrine, the big belly is poop, the smile is often open, people are called "the Buddha with a big belly", "all are happy Buddha". Behind the shrine there is a wooden statue of Wei Tuo, with a god stick in hand, which is the guardian god of Shaolin Temple.
After the mountain gate, it is a long road, and on both sides of the road is the stele forest under the shade of pine and cypress. There are more than 20 stone monuments of the past dynasties here, there is a long corridor on the east side of the road, there are more than 100 famous monuments from ancient times to the present in the corridor, the stele stone is like a forest, there is the name of the stele forest. This represents the long history of Shaolin!
After passing through the stone forest, with the waist card along the way, there were no Shaolin disciples to disturb him. On the way, I also met many disciples of the sect, Wudang, Emei, Qingcheng, and Huashan. And so on and so forth. Even many of Bai Xiaosheng's characters on the Dragon and Phoenix List abound here.
Shaolin's Daxiong Hall is the main place for the temple to hold Buddhist activities, and is called the three major Buddha halls of Shaolin Temple together with the Tianwang Hall and the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion. The hall enshrines the statues of Buddhist Shakyamuni, Medicine Buddha and Amitabha Buddha, and the statue of Guanyin hangs behind the screen wall, and there are eighteen Arhats standing on both sides. In the middle of the hall, there is a plaque hanging, and there are four big characters on it: "Baoshu Fanglian". It can be said that the Daxiong Hall is the most majestic building of Shaolin Temple.
This is where Shaolin receives guests. Due to the different distances seen by each sect, the time of arrival is not certain. When Zhengxin and Wang Hao and others, when they arrived at the Daxiong Treasure Palace, they saw that a person had already greeted him, this person was kind and kind-eyed, and at a glance you could know that he was a high-ranking monk. It is really a majestic and elegant show, and the Buddha's clothes can be tailored. The glow is full of brilliance, and the colors are condensed into the universe!
"Under enlightenment!, which senior brother of the Kunlun faction is coming?"
"It turned out to be Senior Brother Enlightenment, and below is Wang Hao, a disciple of Kunlun!" Wang Hao replied.
"It turned out to be Senior Brother Wang Hao! There are still three days before the big competition starts, you can go to the Zhai Yuan with me to rest first, but someone will take you to the competition." This voice of enlightenment is very deceptive, worthy of being the chief disciple of Shaolin!
Everyone nodded and walked to the temple with enlightenment!
