Chapter 52 The Legend of the Sweeping Monk

"Marquis Yun still remembers Xuanzang? Can he succeed?" Yulin stood up and asked Yun Ye for confirmation hopefully.

"Your hard work will pay off. Xuanzang will succeed. I saw him once in the wilderness. He was already in the Stone Kingdom at that time. People with the nine surnames of Zhaowu will not harm a monk who is dedicated to seeking Dharma. I will wait and see him."

What about my travels to the Western Regions?"

"We, the Buddha, are merciful. Please bless Xuanzang for his smooth return. The hope for the revitalization of Buddhism rests on him." The Yulin monk clasped his hands with great piety and bowed to the west.

"Old monk, what I hate most is that you always put huge responsibilities on one person, and stand aside and watch indifferently, waiting for a miracle to happen. If you all hold this idea, it would be better to disband the temple as soon as possible.

."

At this point, Yulin has basically understood the emperor's bottom line. He will not destroy Buddhism, nor will he promote Buddhism. Maintaining suppression is the basic policy he plans to continue. He will only be interested in Buddhist property and will not make great efforts in teachings.

Interference is already a blessing among misfortunes.

Yun Ye thought for a while and then said: "I wonder if Master is interested in building a temple on the grassland? I have a small piece of pasture on the grassland. There are already four to five thousand herders. I really want them to have a spiritual sustenance. I don't know.

What do you think, Master?"

"Of course we can build a temple now, but the ultimatum requires the efforts of Marquis Yun. The poor monk heard that Marquis Yun is also influential in the south. How about the old monk also build a temple in the south?"

There is no master in this world who can fool anyone casually, so Yun Ye planned to ask the monks to help win over the hearts of the grassland herdsmen. He had already set his sights on the Li Anlan Kingdom. Anyway, his tone made those

The savages in the trees believe in those weird gods that require human blood to manifest, so why not recite Amitabha Buddha together? Pushing open the door, Niu Jianhu asked for a wooden box from Niu Jianhu, handed it to the Yulin monk, and kneaded it.

Rubbing his nose, he said: "Master, these are the certificates I got back from His Majesty at a great price. There are sixteen in total, all of them are certificates issued by great monks. In other words, you can build a total of sixteen temples. Of course.

.It is not possible in places like Guannei, Hedong, Hebei, Jiannan, Huainan, Huaibei and Longyou. It is no problem in the grasslands and Lingnan."

"Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva has sworn that hell will not be empty and that he will never become a Buddha. The old monk will open the Dharma door again and open a way to death for those good people in the wild land."

Speaking like this, Yun Ye felt much more natural. Although Yun Ye would never admit that he was a hypocrite. But the way a gentleman speaks is indeed the most refreshing, so he will say this in the future.

The door was pushed open, and the young monk came in with a bowl of concoction, and put it on the table, ready to serve Yulin to drink the medicine. After hanging around with Sun Simiao for a long time, Yun Ye could smell the effectiveness of the concoction, such as this bowl

The Forsythia decoction that calms the fire and clears the heart is very suitable for me. I have been rushing around for the past few days and my inner fire has risen, so I need to lower it. I just gave the old monk a big gift. It should be okay to drink a bowl of the soup from him. Besides, he

No need either.

Yun Ye never knew what politeness was. Being polite when he was a guest would only aggravate himself. This was Uncle Cheng's teaching and he needed to implement it seriously. When he got to Uncle Yun's level, he would have become proficient in this skill. He thought of this

I drank the decoction in one gulp. It was very bitter. Coptis chinensis was added to it. I took the orange peel water for mouthwash from the dumbfounded young monk, slurped it twice, and then spit it out, looking extremely rude.

When the monk was about to open his mouth to scold him, Yulin spoke first: "Be careful and don't be rude. Marquis Yun is a little angry. This medicinal soup is very suitable for him. Dao Yue has always praised you for practicing discipline and practice at a young age."

You have a solid career, why are you so aggressive now and still not retreating?"

The monk apologized to Yun Ye. He was furious just now, but he became calm and peaceful in an instant. Yun Ye looked at the little monk with interest. When he was under the porch just now, he faintly heard others calling him "Bian Ji Yun Ye".

I really want to see what kind of person this young monk is, whether he is a flowery monk with a deep mind. Now it seems that if he can get angry, he is not someone who can do treasonous things.

"Why is Marquis Yun so interested in distinguishing machines and even using decoctions to test his reaction? What's the reason?" People become better as they grow older. Yun Ye has a lot of experience in dealing with old foxes, so he didn't explain much. He just said: "Master is here.

It's best to bring your identification machine with you when you build a temple. Don't set foot in Chang'an before you are fifty, otherwise, there will be strange disasters."

After that, he said goodbye to Yulin with a smile, asked the Yulin monk to deliver Li Gang's letter to Daoxin, and left the room in Yulin with his hands behind his back, ready to take a tour of the Shaolin Temple and see the legendary seventy-two unique arts.

Tan Yin, Jue Yuan was guarding the door. He vaguely heard Yun Ye and Yu Lin chatting happily, so he relaxed and waited quietly. Tan Yin had already thought of the strangeness of Master Yu Lin's illness. He obviously had no symptoms, but

He looked like he was about to die. No one knew why the abbot did this. Maybe Yun Ye knew some details.

Seeing Master Yulin sending Yun Ye out with a glowing face, Tan Yin knew that the master's heart disease had been cured. He was no longer worried and became more easy-going. Yun Ye could go with him wherever he wanted.

The Main Hall was the first place Yun Ye visited. It was the proper intention to worship the Buddha in the temple. The hall is a five-room wide, double-eaves Xieshan-style building. The current Buddha Sakyamuni Tathagata is enshrined in the center of the hall.

On the left is the Medicine Buddha in the past Buddha's Eastern Pure Glaze World, and on the right is the Amitabha Buddha in the future Buddha's Western Paradise. The eighteen Arhats are hung on the east and west gables of the hall, and Guanyin is hung on the back wall of the screen. The difference between the Main Hall of Shaolin Temple and the Main Halls of other temples

On the left and right of the Third Buddha, there are standing statues of Bodhidharma and King Kinnara, who is known as the founder of Shaolin Temple's stick technique.

After offering incense to the Buddha, Yun Ye was attracted by the two unicorns carrying beams and pillars in the center of the hall. The entire hall was enshrined in images of barbarians with deep eyebrows and broad eyes. Even Feitian was topless and looked like a barbarian.

The female tribe, the only Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva who can give Yun Ye some comfort, is still hung behind the screen wall. Only Qilin is a completely Chinese product. Although it has a dragon head, an ox body, and fish scales, and looks a bit miserable, it makes Yun Ye

Ye Dasheng felt cordial.

Yun Ye's favorable impression of Guanshiyin Bodhisattva comes from one of his words: "Good man, when you look at heaven, humans and all living beings in the three evil paths, you have great compassion and want to end the troubles of all living beings and make all living beings live in peace and happiness.

Man, now I call you Guanshiyin."

Yun Ye didn't understand the meaning of this sentence. He only knew that he made a great wish to save the world, but he was resentful of the beard on Guanyin's face. The Guanyin Bodhisattva seen in later generations was a kind-hearted lady. Suddenly he saw

Her image of a handsome man is a bit unacceptable.

Tan Yin saw that Yun Ye was a little regretful, so he smiled and said: "In some places, the female body of Bodhisattva is enshrined. It is based on the legend of the three daughters of King Miaozhuang. It is added to our Chinese filial piety and forms its own system. No matter what,

"The Great Merciful and Great Compassionate Avalokitesvara has thousands of incarnations and can overcome all hardships. There is nothing wrong with paying tribute to Marquis Yun."

Knowing this legend, my grandma always said that people with filial piety are always good. The daughter of King Miaozhuang gave up one of her eyes and one hand to treat her father's illness. As a result, she was given a thousand dollars by the Buddha.

With one eye and a thousand arms, he is an eternal example of filial piety.

Yun Ye joked with his grandma, what do you think if one day you are sick and your grandson digs out your eyes and cuts off his hand to treat your illness? What if the Buddha did not see your grandson's filial piety and forgot to give him a thousand dollars?

One eye, one thousand arms, that would be miserable. Having said that, if you really give it, your grandson would drag a thousand hands and a thousand eyes around every day. Would it frighten others? What a joke.

It was Yun Ye who was hit hard with two sticks by her grandma.

There is really an old monk sweeping the floor in front of the Sutra Pavilion. He can no longer tell his age. Cheng Chumo, a cow sees a tiger, and a single eagle looks around the old monk. In Yun Ye's story, this old monk has the power to reach the sky.

The two top masters, who were able to hit the ground with a broom, fled.

Nowadays, the reality is far different from the legend. This extremely thin and extremely old monk seems to be blown down by a gust of wind. What Cheng Chumo is looking at is the old monk's flabby and shriveled muscles. What Niu Jianhu is looking at is the old monk's weak and feeble lower body.

Pan, Shan Ying listened to the old monk's rapid breathing and the ringing in his chest. No matter where he looked from, all the old monk could perform was the magic skill of falling to the ground, and he had nothing to do with the masters.

Respecting the elders, the three of them did not propose a contest. Tan Yin saluted the old monk with great respect. Niu Jianhu asked Tan Yin with the last glimmer of hope: "I don't know what the name of this master is?"

Tan Yin then said: "Master Niu Xiaohou, this sweeping monk, has been sweeping the floor in the Sutra Pavilion since I came to Shaolin. He was not that old at that time. The old monk has been in Shaolin for more than fifty years, that is,

Said he has been here for at least fifty years."

When Niu Jianhu heard this, he was even more hesitant. If the old monk was fifty years old at that time, wouldn't he be a hundred years old now? Maybe he had seen Bodhidharma crossing the river with a reed.

Patriarch.

Regardless of whether he had martial arts skills or not, his age alone was worthy of everyone's respect. Several people clasped their hands together and saluted the old monk. The old monk seemed to turn a deaf ear to this and continued to sweep the already clean floor with broom after broom.

When we arrived at the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, we had to read the Sutra of Cleansing the Marrow and the Sutra of Changing Tendons. Yun Ye said that they were the most profound martial arts treasures in the world and were not easily seen. Now that the Master of the Supervisory Academy is accompanying him, he must be able to taste his long-cherished wish.

Hearing the request of Niu Jianhu and the others, Tan Yin said with a smile that the Yi Jin Jing is still there, but the Marrow Cleansing Sutra was taken away by Hui Ke and disappeared. The Yi Jin Jing is just a twelve-step external skill, look at you.

The three of them all like martial arts, so why not take a look.

Hearing what Tan Yin said, Niu Jianhu and the others quickly rushed into the Sutra Pavilion. Yun Ye followed slowly, but for some reason, Yun Ye felt that the old monk seemed to have glanced at him and waited for him to turn around.

When I looked again, there was no one else there, only the old monk was still sweeping the floor slowly.
