In the hinterland of Zhongyue Song Mountain, in the ancient forest under Shaomur Mountain, there is a 700-year-old ancient temple of Zen Buddhism, which is named Shaolin Temple.

Shaolin Temple, it is rumored that Bodhidharma is created after crossing the river with a reed, it is north of the five milk peaks, the south looks at the Shaomur Mountain, the peaks are surrounded, the pines and cypresses are stacked and cui, the mountain spring of the pearl splashing jade in front of the temple converges into a clear spring and flows slowly eastward, it is the so-called "five miles of the sound of the river ten miles of the mountain, several of the five temples and ten thousand pines".

The building in the temple is magnificent, solemn and solemn, there are also pine and cypress, hidden bamboo forest, very quiet, quite a sense of not being polluted by the vulgar dust.

The mountain gate is a single-eaves hilltop building with three rooms, the front wall is properly matched, there are two round windows of equal distance, the front of the door is built with bluestone into seventeen steps, it is a vertical belt type, and the east and west sides are equipped with the opposite door. There is a pair of stone lions in front of the mountain gate, male and female are opposite, the tiger is eyeing, the overall layout shows the style of the Shaolin Temple martial arts school without being too flashy.

As the former Taishan Beidou, Shaolin Temple has its own rules. If a person in the martial arts just looks at the Shaolin Mountain Gate from afar, it is naturally easy, but if you want to enter the Mountain Gate, there are many rules that need to be followed.

First of all, if you want to enter the Shaolin Mountain Gate, you must first unload your weapons. This is the respect for Shaolin, and it is also the dignity that Shaolin must have as one of the best sects on the rivers and lakes. Secondly, if you want to enter the mountain gate, you must first report to the monk at the door, otherwise it is rude to Shaolin.

Of course, there is no shortage of arrogant people in the rivers and lakes, and thinking about breaking into Shaolin is naturally a matter of infinite scenery. However, Shaolin's endless high-ranking monks have dispelled the idea of breaking in, even if some people are bold and reckless, they still bring humiliation on themselves in the end. lost face and was ridiculed by the world.

Therefore, even martial arts masters always unload their swords in a low profile and report to the mountain gate. For many people who are strong in martial arts and proud of themselves. It is indeed easy to see the mountain gate, but it is difficult to enter the mountain gate.

A hundred years ago, Shaolin abbot Xuan Ci made a big mistake in Xiao Yuanshan, and committed a lustful ring on Ye Erniang, this scandal made Shaolin a laughing stock of the world, since then, Shaolin announced the closure of the mountain for a hundred years. Only participate in the enlightenment of the Buddha, and then do not ask about the affairs of the rivers and lakes.

A few years ago, the Shaolin Temple had planned to reopen the mountain gate. But unfortunately there was an incident with the fire foreman, and the abbot Kuyana, the first Kusheng of the Dharma Hall, the nine disciples of the Dharma Hall, and other disciples suffered miserably. After that, the temple passed the buck. Disputes and infighting. The first Kuhui Zen master of the Luohan Hall was very sad and indignant at the prevarication of everyone, and left the country in a fit of anger without any news.

The occurrence of this incident not only caused an uproar in the rivers and lakes, making the Shaolin Temple once again become the laughing stock of the people in the rivers and lakes, but also greatly damaged the strength of the temple. Du is a first-class master of the realm of Xiao Zhoutian. Suddenly suffered such a big change, Shaolin had to delay the idea of reopening the mountain gate. Continue to close the mountain gate, lick the wounds, tidy up the temple, and re-elect the two first seats and the abbot.

The news of Junling Mountain spread to the world, and the next day, a hurried bell rang in the Shaolin Temple.

"Senior brother, you listen, it seems to be a bell. ”

"Hmm, the voice is urgent, could it be that something big happened in the temple?" The older man was stunned for a moment, quickly got up, and said to the junior brother at the same time: "Let's go out and have a look." ”

The junior brother suddenly looked flustered, no big deal, the bell will not ring at this moment, he heard this kind of bell once a few years ago, it was the rebellion of the fire foreman, although he did not see it with his own eyes, but he heard that many brothers died at that time, even the abbot and the ancestor of Kuhui died unexpectedly, that scene in Bo, still exists.

He couldn't help but shudder, and said nervously: "Shouldn't someone kill someone again!"

The elder brother's face changed, he turned his head suddenly, and said solemnly: "Senior brother, don't talk nonsense, let's go out and take a look." As if thinking of the timidity of his junior brother, he comforted him gently: "Don't worry, there's nothing to do, go." ”

"Ahh

The senior brother saw it in his eyes and sighed silently, that incident was too big a blow to the junior brother, not only the junior brother, but also many other disciples also had a heavy shadow, even himself, he couldn't help but feel troubled, what was the big deal, he couldn't figure it out, pulled the senior brother's arm, and the two of them hurried out.

Like them, many monks came out in a daze, and many of them were full of gloom, and when they saw their companions, they couldn't help but ask each other urgently.

"What?"

"What's wrong?"

"The bell rang. ”

"I don't know. ”

"I don't know. ”

......

The voice was chaotic, and at this time, a monk suddenly ran over and announced: "The abbot has an order, and the monks of the whole temple will gather in the martial arts arena." ”

With the announcement of the monks one by one, many disciples gathered at the martial arts arena, and when they arrived at the venue, they were dressed and identified, and the Dharma Hall, the Arhat Hall, the Prajna Hall, the Precept Hall and the Zhike Hall were divided into five parts, and the bottom was the ordinary monks.

The five halls in the Shaolin Temple, famous all over the world, are the core organization of Shaolin, Shaolin stands for hundreds of years, and the role of the five halls is great.

Dharma Hall!

Usually many are studying Buddhist scriptures, martial arts, through the past dynasties of the Dharma Hall monks to obscure and refined, and constantly strive for perfection, only then there are 72 Shaolin stunts that shocked the world, and only then Shaolin martial arts are broad and profound, such as the surging sea, inexhaustible, and even in Shaolin a hundred years ago, the heyday of things had "the world's martial arts, the source of Shaolin" said.

For example, Shaolin Town Temple Shengong Yijin Sutra was created by Bodhidharma, if the palm was created in the eighth generation of abbot Yuan Yuan Master, Maha finger is created by a seven-fingered head tuo who has been in Shaolin Temple for 40 years, and the Donkey Kong palm method is the six monks of the eleventh generation of Tongzi, and the work of poor thirty-six years has been studied together,......

Pranyado!

It is similar to the Dharma Hall, but it is very different, it is full of profound Buddhism and profound martial arts monks, they are extremely high, they do not take apprentices, regardless of affairs, rarely show up, all day long except penance is penance.

Due to the restrictions of seniority and cultivation, the number of people in the Prajna Hall is the smallest, only eight people, and they are all old monks with gray beards, eight of them are lined up, and they sit quietly with their eyes closed.

Luohan Hall!

Generally responsible for teaching the martial arts tasks of the initial Shaolin disciples, this is the main responsibility of the Luohan Hall, according to the characteristics of each Shaolin disciple, teach the most suitable Shaolin martial arts, if the Shaolin disciple is a thousand miles, the Luohan Hall is Bole.

Discipline Hall!

There are many Shaolin disciples, and it is inevitable that the good and bad will be uneven. After the Shaolin disciples walked the rivers and lakes, they returned to the temple to see the abbot and the teacher, in addition to telling the experience of the rivers and lakes, they must also go to the precept hall to report whether there was any fault. Shaolin disciples do not speak, if they violate the rules and precepts of Shaolin, the precept hall is responsible for enforcing the law, maintaining Shaolin law and discipline, and being selfless.

Zhiketang!

Shaolin, as the Taishan Beidou of today's rivers and lakes, will inevitably explain to various sects and factions on the rivers and lakes. There are many disputes in the rivers and lakes, and there are many incidents in martial arts, and Shaolin will inevitably meet with the sects on the rivers and lakes.

The duty of Zhiketang is to deal with various incidents on Shaolin and the rivers and lakes, and it is the transit station for Shaolin and martial arts to liaison. (To be continued......)
