Chapter 92: The Pagoda of Death and the Bodhi Fruit
"Abbot, please. ”
As the old monk's words fell, the eyes of everyone on the scene all looked at the Daxiong Treasure Hall, but saw that in the faint Sanskrit sound in the hall, a young monk wearing a robe slowly walked out of the hall.
The monk was very young, looking about thirty years old at most, which immediately made many people wonder, could this person be the leader of the Shaolin Temple?
In the next second, as expected, I saw that after the young monk came out of the hall, he folded his hands and said:
"Amitabha, I have seen all the donors, I am the 27th generation of Shaolin Temple, Shi Miaoxing. ”
When everyone heard this, they were surprised, they didn't expect the abbot of Shaolin Temple to be so young, and even Chen Wanzai was a little surprised.
In the inherent thinking, the abbot of Shaolin Temple should be the same as the old monk who led the way, not to mention the old dragon bell and fluttering beard, at least he should be a fat monk.
But the young abbot in front of him is really a little unbelievable, this ...... It can't be an impersonation, right?
Seeing this, the white-clothed Sun Xun couldn't help but laugh in a low voice:
"Surprised, right? This young abbot is not simple, Master Miaoxing became the youngest host in the history of Shaolin Temple at the age of 27, and he is also from the Zen and martial arts, this is probably ...... It is also to cope with the current situation. ”
When Chen Wanzai heard this, he spit out four words.
"Troubled times prosper. ”
"Not bad. ”
The white-clothed Sun Xun nodded, while Fu Jinhua on the side was staring at Shi Miaoxing up and down, and then asked expressionlessly:
"How's his kung fu?"
Sun Xun was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said:
"I don't know. ”
Chen Wanzhuo, who was wearing a hood, glanced at Fu Jinhua, and then looked at Master Miaoxing, and could vaguely sense that there was an extremely special power in this person, which was somewhat similar to Gangqi, but it was a little different.
If the guess is right, the other party is also a monk of the Gangjin level, and if Fu Jinhua wants to challenge this abbot, I am afraid he will lose very badly.
At this time, Li Zhenyun was a little puzzled, and couldn't help but ask Chen Wanzai:
"Senior brother, are the presiding officer and abbot of Shaolin Temple the same person?"
Hearing the inquiry, Chen Wanzai explained:
"The abbot is the title and the leader of the temple, and there is only one abbot in a temple, and the title of 'abbot' was originally an inherent title of Buddhism, and Buddhism borrowed this common name after it was introduced to China. Although the two names are different, they actually refer to the same person. ”
"I see. Li Zhenyun nodded.
Over the years, Chen Wan has traveled from south to north, but he knows a lot of things, and when several people were talking, Master Miaoxing in front of the Daxiong Treasure Hall had already begun to make a ceremonial speech.
"Today, Songshan Shaolin Temple opened the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, but anyone who broke through the Eighteen Arhat Formation can choose a martial art at will in the Scripture Pavilion. ”
Shaolin Temple, as the host, should have made some opening speeches for the opening of the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, but Master Miaoxing did not talk too much, and after a few short words, he said to the old monk who led the way:
"Uncle Yanhua, lead the donors to the Luohan Hall. ”
Hearing this, the old monk immediately folded his hands and said:
"Obey the Abbot's decree. ”
In this way, although the abbot has a high status, his seniority is still a little worse, and then, the old monk with the Dharma name Yanhua led everyone to the Arhat Hall in the temple again.
The crowd left one after another, Master Miaoxing glanced at Chen Wanzai's back, frowned slightly, and then called the middle-aged warrior monk who supervised his disciples' practice, and then said:
"Miaowu, in the past few days, the temple has strengthened its vigilance, and during this period, there must be no accidents. ”
"Yes, Senior Abbot. ”
The middle-aged warrior monk with angry eyes immediately listened to the order, and then began to arrange, distributing many disciples to various places in the temple to take strict precautions.
Obviously, Master Miaoxing also found that Chen Wanzhai in the crowd was not simple, but it was not clear whether strengthening the vigilance in the temple was to prevent those people in the rivers and lakes or to prevent others.
......
The old monk led a large number of people from the rivers and lakes to shuttle through the temples lined with temples, and passed by some magnificent buildings from time to time.
Li Zhenyun and Sun Xun's little apprentices, looking around curiously, found that each hall had a name, such as the Tianwang Palace, the Jinnara Palace, the Six Ancestors Palace, the Yama Palace, the Dragon King Palace, the Bell and Drum Tower, and so on.
I have to say that the Shaolin Temple has a great cause, just a variety of halls, all kinds of buildings, everyone has seen no less than dozens, and the monks encountered during the period are even more ordinary.
When the monks saw them, they almost turned a blind eye and were doing their own thing, either reciting sutras and doing their homework, or working and repairing the temple.
It wasn't until passing by an area lined with stone towers that the monks did not appear again, but the towering stone towers attracted the attention of many people.
However, I saw that those hexagonal stone towers, some of them were three or four meters high, and some were seven or eight meters high, although they were of different heights, but all of them exuded a simple and desolate atmosphere, and the rusty copper bells on the towers, as well as the mottled murals, made people feel that they were very old.
Of course, not all monks have this treatment, only after the death of the monks, they will raise the tower to make offerings, place relics and other things. ”
The white-clothed Sun Xun spoke, and the six braided weirdos in the crowd all lit up their eyes when they saw the Death Tower, but they hid it well in the next second.
It's a pity that the excitement on the faces of the two foreign devils after seeing the Yuanyuan Pagoda was not hidden at all.
Seeing this, Fu Jinhua couldn't help but sneer in a low voice:
"It seems that some people are not here for the Scripture Pavilion. ”
Sun Xun glanced at the two foreigners and couldn't help but smile, but then found that Chen Wanzhuo's gaze was looking at the west of the stone pagoda area, but he saw a Bodhi tree more than ten meters high growing there.
Seeing this, Sun Xun couldn't help but say:
"Legend has it that the ancestor of Bodhidharma was enlightened under that Bodhi tree. ”
Chen Wanzai nodded, but his eyes penetrated the leafy Bodhi tree, and he could vaguely see that there were three crystal clear Bodhi fruits in the canopy.
Although the distance was far, Chen Wanzai could feel that the three Bodhi fruits were constantly exuding a strong breath of life, and they were definitely not ordinary things.
When the old monk led everyone into the stone pagoda area, Chen Wanzai looked around, the entire stone pagoda area was very clean, and there should be monks cleaning it regularly.
And in this area, there are only more than ten stone towers scattered here, from this point of view, the foundation of Shaolin Temple for thousands of years, there are not many monks, and there will be one in an average of 100 years.
The footsteps of the old monk did not stop, and directly led everyone through the stone pagoda area and went deeper, but when passing by the tall Bodhi tree, Chen Wanzai found that a thin old monk was meditating under the Bodhi tree.
Many people in the rivers and lakes followed the old monk and looked around, but no one seemed to find the old monk under the Bodhi tree, as if he couldn't see it at all.
Seeing this, Chen Wanzai couldn't help but ask the four people beside him:
"Under that Bodhi tree, there is an old monk meditating, can you see it?"
Li Zhenyun, Fu Jinhua, Sun Xun, including his little apprentice, were all stunned, and couldn't help but look at the Bodhi tree, and then looked at it below.
"Senior brother, there seems to be no one under that tree. Li Zhenyun said.
Sun Xun nodded and said:
"There really is no one. ”
"You must be dazzled. Fu Jinhua pouted.
The words of the three of them suddenly made Chen Wanzai simply close his mouth, but he couldn't help but want to say something in his heart.
"You're blind!"
......
