Planar martial arts myth

More than a month later, a group of more than a dozen people climbed up from the foot of Songshan Mountain, heading towards Shaoshi Mountain where Shaolin Temple is located.

Shaoshi Mountain is quite steep, and the mountain path is a long row of wide stone steps. The scale is magnificent, and the project is really not small. It was excavated by Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty for the Shaolin Temple, with a total length of eight miles.In the past, when the Shaolin Temple was full of incense in the peaceful and prosperous times, there was an endless stream of people who came to offer incense and pray, and the mountain road was full of people.

It's just that since the Jingkang Incident, the Kingdom of Jin invaded the Central Plains, and the people's livelihood was poor due to military disasters. Most of the Jurchen people who ruled the Kingdom of Jin did not believe in Buddhism. The incense of Shaolin Temple inevitably weakened. Often, no one came for ten days and a half months. A group of more than ten people like this is very rare, so the Zhike monks of Shaolin Temple found this group from afar, and greeted them out of the mountain gate early to wait.

But I saw that these dozen or so people were all dressed as servants, there were men and women, the men were strong and the women were handsome, and their clothes were neat and made of high-quality materials, which were better than those worn by ordinary little rich people, and even a few The maid is also equipped with a little gold and silver ornaments, which looks extremely dignified, and people can tell at a glance that she is a servant from an official family or a noble family.

A group of servants surrounded the sedan chair carried by four people. The sedan chair was well-made and decorated in a stylish manner, and the porters who carried the sedan chair were all strong and healthy. The person who carried the sedan chair steadily looked like a veteran who had been doing the job all year round.

Seeing this scene, the Zhike monk who came out of the mountain gate couldn't help being surprised in his heart, secretly guessing what kind of person was sitting in the sedan chair, and there was such a pomp.At the same time, there is also a faint hope in my heart. In recent years, the incense in Shaolin Temple has declined, and the life of monks in the temple has become much more difficult than before. The monastery still has a lot of land accumulated over the years, and I am afraid that it will not be able to sustain it.So today's Shaolin monks are like seedlings in a dry field, so hungry and thirsty, they hope that more pilgrims will come to offer incense and pray for blessings, and more incense money will be given to them, so that their lives can be improved.

A group of more than a dozen people came all the way to the gate of Shaolin Mountain, the sedan chair fell, and a young man in brocade clothes and luxurious clothes walked out of the sedan chair.I saw that this young man was only fifteen or sixteen years old, with sword eyebrows and star eyes, he looked like he was not waiting for other people's children, which made people dare not underestimate him.

Seeing this scene, Monk Zhike secretly nodded in his heart, it seems that this young son is not a prince and grandson, but also from a family of officials and eunuchs, he is by no means an ordinary person.So he didn't dare to neglect, and quickly went forward with a respectful face.

The handsome young man who came was none other than Ling Muyun who came for the Nine Suns Scripture.

Although Ling Muyun knew that the Nine Suns Scripture was hidden in the Sutra Pavilion of Shaolin Temple, it was not so easy to obtain it.After all, the Sutra Pavilion is the gateway to Shaolin Temple, and anyone who wants to enter can enter.Later, Xiaoxiangzi and Yin Kexi did not hesitate to use bitter tricks in order to sneak into the Buddhist scriptures pavilion, so they deceived the monk Jueyuan and successfully stole the "Langa Sutra".It's a pity that although the two stole the Nine Suns Scripture, they had no luck to enjoy it. They guarded against each other and calculated each other, but in the end they died together, which made Zhang Wuji, a latecomer, in vain.

On the way here, Ling Muyun kept thinking about what to do, how to get the Nine Suns Manual.He thought of many ways, but he rejected them one by one. In the end, he could only use the method written in his online novels in his previous life to deceive him into obtaining the Nine Suns Manual under the guise of copying Buddhist scriptures.

It's just that Shaolin Temple is not a public service place, and the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion is not the public library of Ling Muyun's previous life, anyone can enter it.If you want to go in and transcribe scriptures, even if you only transcribe Buddhist scriptures, you must be qualified.Where does this qualification come from? This requires money to open the way.So Ling Muyun casually sold his horses at a low price, and then spent a lot of money to hire such a decent team, and he pretended to be a son of a family and came to send money to Shaolin Temple.

Before coming here, Ling Muyun had inquired about relevant information, and he was very clear about the current situation of Shaolin Temple, which also added to his confidence in this trip.If it was when Shaolin Temple was flourishing, it would be extremely difficult for him as an outsider to enter the Buddhist scriptures pavilion, the most important portal of Shaolin Temple. Given the situation, he did not believe that Shaolin Temple would be indifferent to his money offensive.

As soon as Ling Muyun got out of the sedan chair and stood firm, the Zhigu monks of Shaolin Temple had already walked up to him, folded his palms together and recited the Buddha's mantra: "Amitabha, I am sorry to welcome you. Where did you come from, and why did you come to this temple?"

"Master, I'm being polite here." Ling Muyun returned the gift with a bow, acting like a modest gentleman. "Master doesn't know something. My mother has been sincerely respecting the Buddha since she was a child. She recites scriptures and prays to the Buddha every day, devoutly taking refuge. Her lifelong wish is to have the honor to recite the true teaching of Buddhism handed down by Patriarch Bodhidharma of your monastery, and to get close to the Buddha..."

The Zhike monk put his hands together and said, "It's good, it's good, this is a good fruit."

"That's right." Ling Muyun nodded, and then sighed: "It's just that my mother has been in poor health and it is difficult to travel long distances, so this has not been possible. I couldn't bear the pain of traveling and traveling, but I was thinking about it more and more, so I sent me to come to your temple to offer incense on her behalf, and told me to copy a few precious scriptures for her no matter what, and take them back for her to recite Reading the scriptures, burning incense and paying homage to the Buddha. That’s why I have traveled thousands of miles to the temple, hoping that your temple will show pity to my mother and allow me to copy a few volumes of the scriptures written by the Bodhidharma himself, as a way of showing filial piety.”

"Amitabha, the filial piety of the donor is commendable, and sincerity is precious!" The monk who knew guests sighed, "But the monk is only in charge of welcoming and sending off pilgrims in the temple. I also hope that the benefactor will not be blamed."

Ling Muyun smiled slightly, and said: "Shaolin is a sacred place of Buddhism. I came here to offer incense and pray for Buddha on behalf of my mother. How dare I get angry and attack the Buddha? I just hope that all the eminent monks in your temple can take pity on the next filial piety and open a It is a door of convenience, I am very grateful, and it will be a generous offering to show my sincerity."

Hearing that Ling Muyun said that he wanted a generous offering, Zhike monk’s heart skipped a beat, his face burst into a smile, and he made a gesture of invitation to Ling Muyun with a smile, and said: “The benefactor can relax and come to the temple to serve tea first. Report this matter to the abbot master of this temple truthfully, the abbot of this temple and all the elders are all virtuous and eminent monks, they will definitely think of the filial piety of the benefactor, and give the benefactor a satisfactory answer."

Ling Muyun immediately nodded in agreement, turned around and told the team of servants he had hired with a lot of money to wait for him at the foot of the mountain, and then walked into the Shaolin Temple with the Zhike monk.

……

Ling Muyun stayed in the Shaolin Temple for nearly half a month when he entered the Shaolin Temple. It was not until more than ten days later that he came out of the Shaolin Temple with a few transcribed Buddhist scriptures under the warm welcome of a group of Shaolin monks. The "Guard of Honor" that was hired to put on a show outside went all the way down Shaoshi Mountain under the watchful eyes of a group of Shaolin monks.

After descending Shaoshi Mountain, Ling Muyun looked back to see that there were no more Shaolin monks, so he took out a large ingot of gold and paid half of the remaining money for hiring the "Guard of Honor", letting the "Guard of Honor" continue to pretend to continue southward, while he himself Quietly went to a nearby market town to buy another good horse, and then galloped northward with the horse, driving for half a day at a stretch, and ran out for two or three hundred miles, feeling that the monks of Shaolin Temple could not catch up even if they wanted to After seeing him, Ling Muyun breathed a sigh of relief, stopped in a town passing by, and found an inn to rest.

Asked for an upper room at the inn, Ling Muyun took out several volumes of scriptures from the package and put them in front of the bed to look at them. There are four volumes of scriptures, namely "Diamond Sutra", "Lotus Sutra", and "Mahaparinirvana Sutra" As well as the "Langa Sutra", these volumes of Buddhist scriptures were copied word by word by his own hands in the past half a month.

These scriptures are the most normal Buddhist scriptures, there is nothing abnormal in them, even the "Langa Sutra", the whole text is Buddhist teachings, without any essence of martial arts.But this is not to say that Ling Muyun won nothing when he went to Shaolin this time, on the contrary, he can be said to have returned with a full reward this time, but just to be on the safe side, he did not copy the Nine Suns Scripture into the scriptures, but copied it. When copying, I recited it silently, and firmly remembered the Nine Suns Manual in my heart.

It was precisely because he had obtained the scriptures that Ling Muyun was so suspicious and ran away after going down the mountain, fearing that Shaolin monks would find out afterwards and come to chase him.

Although it is said in the original book that the monks of Shaolin Temple have never discovered the secrets hidden in the "Langa Sutra", it was not discovered until later by the monk Jueyuan who supervised the Sutra Pavilion.But how could he know that his trip to the mountain to copy the scriptures would not produce any butterfly effect, so that the Shaolin monks would discover the secret in advance?It's better to be cautious.

ps: The plot of this chapter is a bit old-fashioned, but considering the future development of the plot, such a chapter has to be arranged.
