104 Shaolin Temple

104¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥

Liu Juan was stunned. Is this a magic? In a world dominated by science, there are actually magic. This——.

Liu Juan is completely confused. Is this still the 21st century in which he lives?

2012, is it really the end of mankind?

His mother urged him, what’s going on, my God, I want the 21st world I know!!!

God, you can't play like this. God, you can't play like this!

I don’t want to play anymore, I want my mother!

This is Kung Fu Panda’s verbal fear. Damn it, I passed it on to grandpa.

Seeing those people leaving, Liu Juan stood up. It seemed that he had no choice but to go back. Hiding in the real world was just as dangerous, and this danger would bring to his relatives.

What a tragedy, I actually share his grandmother’s ape excrement with Death!!!

After walking for half an hour, Liu Juan found that he was still in the valley. Mommy, I'm lost. What kind of valley is this? Why can't I get out?

At the end of the valley, an ancient temple appeared. It was silent, small in scale, and not grand at all. It was just an ancient temple, with a stone Buddha inside, covered with thick dust, and an ancient bronze lamp next to it flickered out a little brilliance.

.

The afterglow of the moonlight spreads on the naked mountain, and the greenery lingers in the mountain, showing charming colors under the moonlight.

There are some huge stones in front of the ancient temple. Between the cracks of these huge stones, there is an ancient tree protruding from the side. Six or seven people cannot hug it. The ancient trunk is hollow. If it were not for there are five or six pieces.

The shimmering green leaves are still dotted on it, and the whole ancient tree seems to be dead.

It is like an elder who has experienced rain and snow, persevering and lonely, away from the hustle and bustle of the world.

The fractured mountain ranges are lined with huge boulders. It is really hard to imagine what kind of power makes the traces of life appear strongly in the narrow gaps and radiate vitality in the turbulent waves of the years?

Liu Juan looked at the ancient tree, as if someone was reminding Liu Juan.

The injustice and disaster of nature forged the loneliness and perseverance of life. In the life-and-death struggle with the wind, frost and scorching sun, the sunshine, rain, and scattered soil mixed in the cracks of the rocks built up its unyielding character.

Deep in the vast valley, there is a destiny of growth, which is difficult but adhered to.

No matter yourself or the ancient tree.

The temple and the trees are dependent on each other, full of ancient charm, which makes people feel the hazy passage of time and the changes of the years, bringing endless tranquility and ancient times.

"How come there is such an ancient temple?"

"The few remaining leaves of the tree actually have crystal green light flowing around them!"

The tree in front of him and the ancient temple were so extraordinary that Liu Juan couldn't help but be surprised.

"Why do I feel like a long river of history is surging? Everything in front of me seems to be extremely long ago, as if it has experienced the precipitation of history."

The distance of thirty meters was very short, and Liu Juan quickly came closer.

"Is this a temple where gods live?"

"Is there really a god in this world? Although the ancient temple is in ruins, it still makes people feel the peaceful and peaceful Zen state."

The ancient temple is silent and peaceful.

"There is a bronze plaque there with writing on it."

There is a rusty copper plaque in the ruined ancient temple, with three ancient characters engraved on it, like a dragon and a snake coiled around it, expressing endless Zen.

It is still a complex and difficult-to-recognize Zhong Dingwen, but the first character "小" is easy to recognize.

"The last word is 'Temple'."

"Shaolin Temple." At this moment, Liu Juan read out all four words.

Liu Juan was taken aback and showed an incredible look.

"Shaolin Temple... I'm not mistaken, am I?!"

"How is this possible..."

"Why is the Shaolin Temple here? Such a small Shaolin Temple..."

Liu Juan has never been to Shaolin Temple, but he also knows that Shaolin Temple is located at the western foot of Songshan Mountain in Henan Province.

Songshan Mountain is located in Dengfeng County and belongs to the Funiu Mountains. It stretches nearly 100 kilometers from east to west and is one of the Five Mountains in my country.

There are 72 peaks, and the peaks are famous. To the east is Taishi Mountain, with 36 peaks such as Taibai, Wangdu, and Yunu; to the west is Shaoshi Mountain, with 36 peaks such as Wangluo, Luohan, and Boyu. The main peak is Junji Peak, with an altitude of 1,492 meters.

Shaolin Temple was built in the 19th year of Taihe (495) in the Northern Wei Dynasty. It is also known as the Monk Temple. It has the reputation of "the ancestral temple of Zen Buddhism and the first famous temple in the world". It is the ancestral temple of Zen Buddhism in Han Dynasty in China.

Thirty-two years after the temple was built, the famous Indian monk Bodhidharma came to Shaolin Temple to teach Zen and ordered Shaoshi Mountain to build a temple for the Buddha and provide food and clothing for the Buddha.

The temple is located in a dense forest at the foot of Shaoshi Mountain, hence the name Shaolin Temple.

Since the establishment of the Shaolin Temple, it has gone through a tortuous history of several failures and several redevelopments.

In the third year of Jiande of the Northern Zhou Dynasty (574), Emperor Wu banned Buddhism and the temples were destroyed.

It was rebuilt during the Elephant Period and was renamed Zhi'an Temple. 120 people including Zhao Huiyuan and Hong Zun lived in the temple and were named "Bodhisattva Monk".

In the Sui Dynasty, Buddhism flourished and the name of Shaolin was restored. Baiguwu was given hundreds of hectares of fertile land and became a major Zen temple in the north.

In the early Tang Dynasty, when King Li Shimin of Qin destroyed the separatist forces of Wang Shichong, he received help from the temple monks, and the Shaolin monks became famous.

Emperor Gaozong and Wu Zetian often visited the temple and received generous rewards.

During the Huichang period of the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Wuzong banned Buddhism and most of the temples were destroyed. By the end of the Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties, the temples gradually declined.

It was slightly repaired in the Song Dynasty.

In the first year of the Qing Dynasty of the Yuan Dynasty (1312), the ancestor of the emperor ordered Monk Fuyu to be the abbot of Shaolin, and he was granted the title of Grand Sikong Kaifu Yitong Sansi, commanding all the temples in Songshan Mountain.

At one time, Chinese and foreign monks gathered together to perform martial arts and worship the Buddha. The number of monks was often about two thousand.

However, Liu Juan once heard a legend that the famous Indian monk Bodhidharma established a small Shaolin Temple. Later, the famous Indian monk Bodhidharma ascended to heaven and the small Shaolin Temple disappeared. Could it be that this was the small Shaolin Temple built by Bodhidharma?

, that tree is the bodhi tree.

Oh my god, this is a big deal!
