The heavens begin to realize the Tao and become gods from the divine carving

Chapter 221
Riding a carriage to the foot of Shaolin Temple, he handed over the carriage to a family at the foot of the mountain to take care of him, and he went to Shaolin alone.

Shaking the fan to see the scenery along the way, the mountain road is a bit difficult to walk.

Shaolin Temple is worthy of being a thousand-year-old ancient temple. There are many faithful men and women. Many people carry baskets to Shaolin Temple to offer incense.

Of course, some people want to go to Shaolin to learn from a master.

Jiang Chen stopped and stopped and still arrived at Shaolin Temple.

On the steps of the Shaolin Temple, I saw monks sweeping the ground, faithful men and women coming in and out, and the incense burning.

Jiang Chen put away his fan and walked inside.

In the first courtyard after entering the mountain gate of Shaolin Temple, there are towering ancient trees.

Only a few people can embrace the huge cypress tree in Shaolin Temple.

There are three Buddhas in the Daxiong Hall, the current Buddha Sakyamuni in the middle, and the seal of the Dharma. On the two sides are Ananda, Kasyapa on the left, the past Buddha, the pharmacist Buddha who eliminates disasters and prolongs life, holding a medicine bowl, the future Buddha on the right, and Amitabha holding a lotus flower in his hand. Dharma looks solemn and benevolent.

Entering the second courtyard of Shaolin Temple, there are stone tablets erected by various dynasties
This stele was erected by Emperor Taizong Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty. The inscription on the stele was written in his own handwriting. On the back is the name of the monk who made great contributions when "Thirteen stick monks saved the king of Tang Dynasty".

This is the back of the stele. The word "Shimin" is written by Li Shimin, which is very individual.

The Western Hall of Saints was originally the training place for monks in Shaolin Temple.

The vivid Luohan map is said to deepen its color every 300 years.

The floor tiles in the practice room were all cracked.

Jiang Chen looked at the depth of the footprints on the ground. He lifted his foot and stepped on it with force, the floor tiles were smashed, and a footprint a few inches deep was clearly visible. If there were monks here, they would be shocked, because this footprint has been around since the temple was built. No one can do so well, even as long as the floor tiles are cracked, the martial arts are already very good.

A corner of Shaolin Temple Pagoda Forest, this pagoda is in Tang Dynasty style.The style of the towers of each dynasty is different.

Surrounded by dense jungles, vertical mountains, and five milky peaks.Chunfang has a small room, green mist and clouds surround it.Zen temples, treasures that have survived dynasties.Viewing the scenery, quiet and mysterious, Qiandai is enchanting.

Songtao bamboo wind is not old.Xiu Dengfeng, exquisite martial arts supernatural powers.In the hinterland of the Central Plains, it is fortunate that Bodhidharma preached.Kungfu skills gradually create the pride of Kyushu.Promoting Buddhism, cultivating in depth, flourishing ancient temples.

Generally speaking, it gave Jiang Chen quite a visual experience.

At this time, an ordinary monk came towards him.

"Benefactors, please go to the front to offer incense, the back is not open to the public."

"Master, it will be my mother's birthday in a few days. I want to copy Buddhist scriptures in the Sutra Pavilion of Guibao Temple and pray for my mother. I don't know if I can fulfill my wish. If Guibao Temple is willing to fulfill my little wish, I am willing." Donate 5 taels of incense money."

"What 5 taels... this... this young monk can't make the decision, I'll ask the abbot for instructions."

"It's time for you, Master."

Jiang Chen was admiring the murals on the wall. After a while, a group of monks came over. The leader was wearing a red cassock, and his beard was a bit gray. Judging from the light footsteps of this monk, he should be very skilled.

"Amitabha Buddha has traveled thousands of miles, please drink tea in the meditation room."

"Thank you abbot."

Under the leadership of the abbot, they came to the meditation room where the abbot lived. A monk came over holding tea, and Jiang Chen picked it up and took a sip.

"En good, good tea."

"It's grown by the tea trees on the mountain, and it's only a few dozen taels a year."

"Then I'm really honored to drink it."

"I heard that the benefactor wants to copy Buddhist scriptures."

"That's right, my mother is seventy this year and has been in poor health, so I want to copy Buddhist scriptures to pray for her."

"The filial piety of a benefactor is invaluable."

Jiang Chen took out five silver bills from his body, each 1 taels, even if the abbot was an eminent monk, he couldn't help but be moved.

Although Shaolin Temple is an important place for Buddhism, they are also human beings, and they cannot do bigu and do not eat fireworks in the world. Moreover, there are many monks in Shaolin Temple, so the expenses are naturally not small. The incense money of these good men and women can barely support the expenses, and they have to grow their own vegetables , or go down the mountain for alms.

"Buddhism opens the door to convenience. Since the benefactor has this kind of filial piety, we are naturally willing to be beautiful."

"Thank you abbot."

…………

Jiang Chen was not in a hurry to read Buddhist scriptures, but talked about Buddhist principles with the abbot.

Although Jiang Chen didn't understand the principles of Buddhist scriptures very well, he understood the principles of Taoism very well, so the two of them were evenly matched when they talked about it, and the debate was fierce.

"I didn't expect the benefactor to have such a deep understanding of the philosophy of Taoism. It was really rewarding to have a debate with the benefactor today."

"The principles of Buddhist scriptures are also extensive and profound, and I am also very interested in Buddhism."

The two chatted for a long time, and the abbot asked someone to take him to the guest room to rest, and to have dinner in the dining hall at night.

After bidding farewell to the abbot, Jiang Chen came to the guest room to rest, lay down in the guest room, fell asleep after a while, I don't know how long he slept, he was woken up by a monk who told him to go to the dining hall for dinner.

Under the leadership of this monk, he came to the Zhaitang, where many people ate, including monks from the temple and guests from outside.

They are all vegetarian dishes, there is no trace of greasy food in this dish, Jiang Chen picked up the bowl, picked up the vegetables, and started to eat.

After he was full, Jiang Chen wanted to copy Buddhist scriptures, a monk brought him to the Sutra Pavilion.

The Sutra Pavilion is located behind the Daxiong Hall, the Sutra Pavilion, also known as the Dharma Hall.

This Sutra Pavilion is a place where Buddhist scriptures and martial arts are collected. It is guarded by special monks. It seems that the security is lax, but it is actually quite tight.

Walking inside, the monk asked him what Buddhist scriptures he needed, and she went to find them for him.

Jiang Chen asked for three Buddhist scriptures, one was the "Diamond Sutra", the other was the "Ksitigarbha Sutra" and the "Langa Sutra".

It would be suspicious if Jiang Chen only wanted one Buddhist scripture, but there is nothing special about the three scriptures. Many people have read these three scriptures, and there is nothing special about them.

Bringing a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, Jiang Chen first copied from the "Diamond Sutra".

As soon as he entered the Sutra Pavilion, he didn't find any hidden aura. Even if the sweeping monk was at the top of his martial arts, he would not be able to live until now, so there are no hermits in this Sutra Pavilion.

He copied the Buddhist scriptures while understanding the meaning of the scriptures. He really put his heart into understanding the Dharma. This Dharma can dissolve the hostility in the body. The more advanced the martial arts, the heavier the hostility. Obsessed.

For several days in a row, Jiang Chen came to copy Buddhist scriptures after eating, and the monks who secretly monitored Jiang Chen observed for several days and found no problem. They reported the truth to the abbot, and only then did they withdraw their surveillance of him.

This day Jiang Chen picked up the "Langa Sutra" and copied it for a long time. When he felt that no one was watching, he began to memorize the "Nine Suns Divine Art".

The mysterious person who created this magical skill deliberately broke this unique skill into pieces and hid it in the broken sentences and fragments of the Langa Sutra.

He is strong, he is strong, the breeze blows the hills, he is horizontal, the moon shines on the river, he is cruel and he is evil, and I am full of true energy... The above-mentioned inner strength formulas are from the "Nine Suns Manual", Practice according to the method contained in the scriptures, you can quickly improve your strength and become a leader in the martial arts.
