Hong Kong films: Starting from Shaolin Temple

"Layman, let me explain it to you like this," Long Yan said. "Tonight, Sister Xian'er and I are filming at Lanruo Temple. The footage we film will be shown on television. Do you understand?"

The hermit in the thatched hut seemed to understand after a moment of thought, and said:

"So this box was originally a magical artifact used to record information."

“That’s exactly what I mean.” Long Yan nodded.

Seeing that the hermit of the thatched cottage had put down his sword, Wang Xian'er breathed a sigh of relief. It was all thanks to Long Yan that her television had been saved.

"No, I must get rid of the Fusang Demon King as soon as possible, I can't let him wreak havoc on the world!"

The hermit of the thatched hut was somewhat worried that the longer the situation dragged on, the more people the Ghost King might kill.

He watched the Japanese samurai on TV and felt a great sense of urgency.

"Little monk, do you know where my two disciples are?"

The hermit in the thatched hut asked Long Yan if his two disciples had also come with him this time he traveled to the modern world.

To deal with the Fusang Demon King, he needs two disciples to protect him.

"I know." Long Yan nodded and said, "But it's so late, we definitely can't go see them today."

Long Yan wasn't in a hurry to have the hermit of the thatched cottage find a disciple.

the reason is simple,

According to the plot of the Heaven and Earth Mysterious Gate,

These two disciples are likely to die in vain, killed by the Japanese Demon King and losing their lives.

Therefore, Long Yan was acting out of kindness, trying to save the lives of these two people.

"Then I'll contact them using paper cranes first."

The hermit of the thatched hut took out a yellow talisman from his robes.

He folded the talisman into the shape of a paper crane and gently blew on it.

The paper crane flapped its wings, hovered in the air, and took flight.

"Paper cranes can actually fly!"

Wang Xian'er was somewhat surprised to see this scene; it was too unscientific.

"Newton must be turning in his grave."

"Newton? Never heard of him."

The hermit of the thatched cottage said he did not know the person.

"Paper Crane, help me find two apprentices."

The hermit of the thatched cottage issued an order,

The paper crane nodded, lifelike, and flew out through the window crack, disappearing into the night.

Amazing!

"Little monk, would you like to give it a try?" The hermit of the thatched hut took out a yellow talisman and handed it to Long Yan, saying, "I happen to have nothing to do right now, so I can teach you."

"Sure." Long Yan took the talisman and wanted to try it too.

This paper crane likely belongs to the Maoshan paper figure art.

Maoshan magic is what Carrie Lam is best at.

Of course, the person in question is no longer named Carrie Lam, but rather "The Hermit of the Thatched Cottage".

There are too many versions of Carrie Lam's character. Although Uncle Nine from Mr. Vampire is the most famous, the most powerful one should be the Hermit of the Thatched Cottage.

After all, being able to open the gates of heaven and earth through Qimen Dunjia and travel through time to the modern era already surpasses other characters.

"Can I try it too?" Wang Xian'er suddenly felt that the paper crane was magical and wanted to learn more about it.

"Okay, here's a talisman for you." The hermit of the thatched hut handed Wang Xian'er a yellow talisman.

The talisman was blank; there was nothing on it.

Of course, you can also write words on it to convey a message to the person who receives the paper crane.

"I'll teach you how to fold paper cranes first."

The hermit of the thatched cottage personally demonstrated and taught Long Yan and Wang Xian'er.

This requires skill and dexterity.

Long Yan had never folded paper cranes before, so his attempt was a bit ugly.

Wang Xian'er's folded folds were much prettier, reflecting her slender figure.

They even personally taught Long Yan how to fold the paper to make it look better.

"After folding it, silently recite the incantation and infuse your mind into the paper crane."

The hermit of the thatched hut taught the incantation once, and said:

"Sincerity is the key to success. Only when your hearts are sincere will the paper cranes fly."

Wang Xian'er followed suit, reciting the incantation once and praying silently.

Then, she released the paper crane.

Landed in a straight line!

There was no sign of takeoff whatsoever.

"As expected, it failed."

Wang Xian'er wasn't disappointed, after all, she's a female celebrity, not someone who studies metaphysics.

If it succeeds, that would be outrageous.

And then,

Long Yan also released the paper crane in his hand.

"Little monk, why aren't you following the procedure? You haven't even recited the incantation yet!"

The hermit of the thatched cottage gave a reminder, and it's estimated that Long Yan is definitely going to fail.

however,

next moment,

The paper crane hovered in the air without falling to the ground.

Moreover, it flaps its wings and flies in the air, just like a lark.

"How is this possible! You succeeded on your first try?"

The hermit in the thatched hut was dumbfounded, unable to believe that Long Yan had succeeded on his very first try.

And this is without chanting any spells!

Outrageous!

"It seems you have a real talent for cultivation; you're a true genius!"

"Compared to you, my two apprentices are utterly useless."

The hermit of the thatched cottage gave a thumbs up, even though it had taken him several months to learn how to make paper cranes.

But Long Yan learned it on his first try.

Wang Xian'er, standing to the side, was also stunned, happy for Long Yan, her eyes filled with admiration.

"Little Master, you're awesome!"

Indeed, the young monk is a high-ranking monk!

"Little monk, why don't you give up being a monk and join my Xuanmen sect to cultivate Taoism?"

"Your future achievements will definitely surpass mine!"

The hermit was very excited and even wanted to persuade Long Yan to leave Buddhism and join Taoism.

Damn it! How could such a genius be snatched away by Buddhism!

The hermit of the thatched cottage wished he had met Long Yan sooner.

“Layman, if I were to abandon my monastic life to become a Taoist, I fear I would be failing my master’s kindness in raising me.”

Long Yan will never forget his roots; his roots are in the Wulong Temple.

and,

The reason why paper cranes can be released is

It wasn't because he had a talent for cultivation, but because he practiced the Marrow Cleansing Classic.

After mastering the Marrow Cleansing Scripture, Long Yan's consciousness could leave his body.

Therefore, Long Yan (Li Wang's) was just controlling the paper crane with his consciousness.

By imbuing the paper crane with one's consciousness, the paper crane comes to life and flutters gracefully.

Long Yan could even see things from the paper crane's perspective, as if he were that paper crane himself.

Therefore, Long Yan will not give up learning martial arts in Buddhism.

“Layman, why must you choose one of the two? I feel that Buddhism and Taoism have something in common, and I can have both.”

Long Yan doesn't like multiple-choice questions; only elementary school students make choices.

He's an adult now, he wants both!

“Little monk, it’s commendable that you haven’t forgotten your roots.” The hermit in the thatched hut also agreed: “As long as you have the energy, you can cultivate both Buddhism and Taoism.”

Upon hearing the words "I want them all," Wang Xian'er, standing to the side, felt inexplicably frightened for some reason...

"It's getting late, time to go to sleep."

Long Yan checked the time; it was almost four in the morning.

He himself didn't care, but Wang Xian'er was an ordinary person and couldn't stay up all night like that.

"Layman, please sleep in this guest room." Wang Xian'er immediately arranged a room for the Layman of the Thatched Hut, saying, "The young monk stayed here before."
