Along the way, I learned that the wrinkled Shaolin monk was Master Fangsheng, who was both profound in Buddhism and martial arts in the original book.

Seeing that Lin Zhining was quite curious about the scenery of Shaolin, Master Fang Sheng told the scenery of Shaolin and the origin of the scenery one by one.

Shaolin Temple is located at the southern foot of Zhongyue Song Mountain in Dengfeng, Henan, across the mountain from the ancient capital of Luoyang. Shaolin Temple is backed by the five milk peaks, surrounded by mountains, the peaks are connected, and the temple is in the dense forest at the foot of the Shaolin Mountain.

Shaolin Temple was founded in the 19th year of Taihe in the Northern Wei Dynasty, is the ancestral court of Zen Buddhism of Han Buddhism, known as "the first temple in the world".

Shaolin Temple is famous all over the world for its Shaolin Kung Fu that the warrior monks of the past dynasties have devoted themselves to research and development and continue to develop, and there is a saying that "the world's kung fu comes out of Shaolin, and Shaolin Kung Fu is the best in the world".

Shaolin Temple occupies an extremely wide area, a mountain gate in the first place, magnificent and magnificent, there are two stone lions guarding in front of the mountain gate, a stone workshop on both sides of each side looks quite solemn.

Passing through the Yong Road, passing through the stele forest under the shade of pine and cypress, it is the palace of the king of heaven, and the palace of the king of heaven is only to the hall of the great majesty.

Along the way, he heard Fang Sheng explain Shaolin, and he secretly slandered in his heart, "This Shaolin is really extraordinary." I don't know how much the people's fat and marrow have been absorbed by these monks who are not engaged in production. "Only he covered it up well, Fang Sheng only thought that he was shocked by the beautiful scenery of Shaolin and didn't think much about it.

Several Shaolin masters waited here early, and Lin Zhining didn't hold it up, so he stepped forward to salute: "Senior Lin Zhining, I have seen all Shaolin monks." ”

Why did he call himself a senior monk instead of a senior, it turned out that Lin Zhining didn't like Shaolin either.

Although it is a righteous master, Shaolin is too calculating. However, Fang Zheng is busy with Shaolin affairs, and he can still cultivate Shaolin martial arts to such a level, obviously Buddhism is profound.

Lin Zhining respects them for their profound Buddhist cultivation and is a generation of masters, but he also disdains that they have too many conspiracies and calculations, and have lost the tranquility of Buddhism.

The people of Shaolin don't know what he thinks, but they are also disciples of Buddhism, and they don't want to become a generation of monks. Seeing Lin Zhining call it like this, he was also very happy.

At that moment, Master Fangzheng replied: "Amitabha! I didn't expect Lord Lin to be so young, and his martial arts and medical skills are still superb, he can really be described as a hero and a young man. ”

A few words of praise to each other, just when Lin Zhining was impatient, Fang Zheng said: "Master Lin, I heard that you have many misunderstandings with the Songshan faction, I don't know if we can make the decision, mediate with the Songshan faction, and resolve this grievance." ”

Lin Zhining said in his heart, finally here. Then he responded: "I killed several good players of the Songshan faction, I don't know how the Shaolin master can mediate?"

Na Fang Zheng pondered for a long time and said, "Amitabha! When is the time for retribution, if Lord Lin is willing, he will live in Shaolin first. I believe that the left head is eloquent and strategic, and the martial arts conference is about to be held at the moment, and there will be no more incidents. Afterwards, I will mediate one or two more, and we must resolve this grievance. ”

When Lin Zhining heard this, he didn't know what their idea was, so he immediately said: "Master Abbot, if you want to settle your grievances, Lin Zhining has thanked you here in advance." But Lin Zhining is used to being free, and if he wants me to eat fast and recite Buddha, it is absolutely impossible. ”

When everyone in Shaolin heard this, they exchanged glances for a while, and Fang Zheng continued: "Lord Lin, please rest assured, my Shaolin is not a tiger's den in Longtan, and I can come and go freely." It's just that we will be kind, not to force the donor to worship in Shaolin. ”

Fang Sheng over there also opened his mouth to persuade: "Master Lin, I know that you have your own residence under the mountain, but it will take time to clean and buy furniture." Why don't you settle down in my Shaolin for a few days, I watch the beautiful scenery of the forest donor, it is better to lead you to visit the beautiful scenery of Shaolin. ”

Lin Zhining's face turned better at this time, and he responded: "That's fine, thank you for your understanding." ”

At that moment, a young monk was summoned to prepare a meditation room for Lin Zhining, and another person led him around.

When Lin Zhining left the Daxiong Treasure Hall, all the monks looked at each other. One of them said: "Senior Brother Abbot, you see ......" Fang Zheng continued: "Needless to say, young people are young and vigorous, and it is inevitable. It's just that we still need to be seriously persuaded to resolve grievances. ”

Besides, Lin Zhining, there was Fang Sheng by his side before, so it was not good to stop and watch carefully. Now there is a young warrior monk, who doesn't say much, just takes Lin Zhining around to play.

In the next few days, you are not allowed to go outside of the Scripture Pavilion. Other Shaolin meditation halls, such as the Six Ancestors Hall, the Bell Tower and Drum Tower, the Thousand Buddha Hall, the Dharma Cave, etc., are all visited.

Reciting Buddhist scriptures in the morning, the warrior monks collectively practiced martial arts, and he couldn't help but observe. He also forgot the unpleasantness when he came, and asked the Shaolin monks for advice when he had doubts in Buddhism, and he was happy with the Shaolin people. It is best for him to understand Shaolin martial arts Buddhism and take refuge in Shaolin.

In this solemn, quiet and peaceful atmosphere. Lin Zhining's inner restlessness has subsided a lot, the Buddha is in the Tao, and the Taoist Buddhism of these **** has made great progress. It is also a glimpse of the mystery of Buddhist martial arts, which is very beneficial to his own martial arts knowledge.

But after all, the Dharma was not in harmony with his mind, and within a few days, he realized the truth and knew that he could not go deeper, otherwise there would be a lot of trouble.

Since ancient times, China has been the education of Taoism, Buddhism and Confucianism, and the ideas of the three schools are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Among them, Confucianism is the most prosperous, which can be said to be deeply rooted in the bone marrow and blood. However, in modern times, natural and man-made disasters, foreign invasions, and the tragic ravages of the Chinese nation, coupled with the invasion of Western culture. Most of the younger generation are influenced by it, although the Confucianism flowing in their bones remains unchanged, after all, it is contaminated with a bit of bandit thinking.

The way of martial arts, cultivated to a high depth, is also philosophy. Unless you can come out of the machine and create a faction, your heart is not pure, and it is difficult to reach the peak.

He is not deeply studying Confucianism and Taoism now, but he is very in-depth in the study of medicine and Taoism. Fortunately, that is where he is interested, otherwise I am afraid that it will be difficult to make an inch of progress in martial arts.

Now, if he is studying Buddhism intensively, I am afraid that he will really have to gather hundreds of schools of thought and become his own before he can continue to move forward.

It's just that he also has a faint understanding, and he can't say that he will really embark on this road in the future. After all, the integration of Confucianism and Taoism is right in front of you, and it is not impossible to learn a few more.

It's just that now I don't dare to divide too much of my mind, and I propose to say goodbye at the moment.
