Don’t talk about Buddhism and Dharma, even if you find a true person who has the right way to discuss the way, I’m afraid even Chu Yi will not be at a disadvantage.
Seemingly moved by Chu Yi's attainments in Buddhism, several eminent monks who had been sitting there unable to help but debate Buddhism with Chu Yi.
If outsiders saw this scene, they probably wouldn't believe what they saw.
It is simply unbelievable that the governor of Dongchang, who has always had a bad reputation, has such profound attainments in Buddhism.
After a long time, Fang Zheng smiled bitterly and shouted the Buddha's name: "The Governor's attainments in the Dharma are so profound that a poor monk cannot match them!"
Chu Yi laughed and said: "Master, you are very polite. I have benefited a lot from debating Buddhism with the master today."
It was already noon. Fang Zheng looked at the time and said to Chu Yi: "The poor monk has prepared a vegetarian meal in the temple, and I would like to ask the governor to taste it."
It can be seen that the Shaolin Temple really does not want to cause any trouble, so it has prepared a table of quite sumptuous vegetarian food. Although Chu Yi has his own purpose for coming here, in the final analysis, he is not here to cause trouble.
, so accompanied by Fang Zheng, Chu Yi had a vegetarian meal.
Almost the whole morning was spent debating Buddhism. Chu Yi won the recognition of Fang Zheng and others with his attainments in Buddhism. At least in their subconscious minds, Chu Yi was different from the previous extremely arrogant governors of Dongchang.
In the afternoon, accompanied by Fang Zheng and several eminent monks, Chu Yi and Cao Shaoqin visited the Shaolin Temple, the Main Hall, and the Pagoda Forest. Finally, Chu Yi stopped before walking to an attic and looked toward the attic.

Tibetan Scripture Pavilion
The name of the Sutra Pavilion of Shaolin Temple can be said to be known to everyone who practices martial arts, and the seventy-two unique skills of Shaolin are even famous throughout the world.
Mentioning the Sutra Pavilion makes people think of Shaolin's seventy-two stunts. To be honest, Chu Yi didn't care much about Shaolin's seventy-two stunts.
After all, Emperor Shichen of Ouchi also collected many secret books of Shaolin. Although they are somewhat incomplete, Ouchi has collected at least dozens of Shaolin's seventy-two stunts, and not less than a few.
Needless to say, what really concerned Chu Yi was Shaolin's supreme secret book, Yi Jin Jing.
The reason why Chu Yi turned to Songshan here was because he came to Shaolin Temple for the Yi Jin Jing.
To be honest, Chu Yi was not worried at all that the Shaolin Temple would refuse him to view the Yi Jin Jing. From then on, Fang Zheng did not hesitate to take out the Yi Jin Jing in order to allow Linghu Chong, a troublemaker, to continue to stir up the world.
It can be seen that the Yi Jin Jing is not as precious as imagined in the eyes of Shaolin Temple. Since Shaolin can hand over the Yi Jin Jing to Linghu Chong, it will definitely give it to Chu Yi.
Compared to Linghu Chong, Chu Yi obviously had a greater influence on Shaolin Temple.
Seeing Chu Yi's eyes falling on the Sutra Collection Pavilion, Fang Zheng paused slightly while flicking the rosary beads, and said with a slight smile on his face: "This is the Sutra Collection Pavilion of our temple. It houses many Buddhist classics and my Shaolin scriptures."
If you are interested in the secret manual of the exercises, you might as well go in and take a look."
Obviously Fang Zheng is a very clever person, Chu Yi just showed a little curiosity about the Sutra Pavilion, Fang Zheng took the initiative to invite Chu Yi in, so everyone knew it in their hearts, but it looked good in appearance.
Anyway, once Chu Yi opened his mouth, Shaolin Temple couldn't refuse, so Fang Zheng appeared to be extremely straightforward.
Chu Yi glanced at Fang Zheng, pondered for a moment, nodded slightly and said to Chu Fang, Cao Shaoqin and others: "You guys wait outside, I and the master will go in and take a look."
Since Fang Zheng was so knowledgeable, Chu Yi would not make it difficult for him, so he asked Cao Shaoqin and others to stay outside and wait while he went to the Sutra Pavilion alone.
Cao Shaoqin hesitated and said, "But Governor, you..."
I knew that Cao Shaoqin was worried about his own safety. After all, this was the territory of the Shaolin Temple. If there were Shaolin masters hidden in the Sutra Pavilion, then Chu Yi might be in danger if he went in alone.
After all, the name of the governor of Dongchang is too bad in the world. Who knows if someone from the Shaolin Temple will jump out to assassinate Chu Yi.
Waving his hand, Chu Yi stopped Cao Shaoqin, and then said to Fang Zheng: "Master, please!"
Fang Zheng smiled slightly and led the way: "Lord Governor, please follow me."
Although the Sutra Pavilion is an attic, it occupies a large area. The most important thing is that the security here is extremely tight. After all, many Buddhist scriptures and secret books of Shaolin Temple are hidden here. It can be said that it is the foundation of Shaolin. Once
If something unexpected happened, it would be enough to threaten the Shaolin inheritance.
Walking into the Sutra Pavilion, Chu Yi first sensed several strong auras distributed throughout the Sutra Pavilion. Needless to say, these people must be the masters guarding the Sutra Pavilion in Shaolin Temple.
Naturally, the first thing I saw was the volumes of Buddhist scriptures. Even Chu Yi had heard of many Buddhist scriptures but had never seen them. After all, many of the Buddhist scriptures collected by Emperor Shicheng of the Imperial Household were isolated books and were completely inferior to those in the Buddhist Scripture Pavilion.
Comprehensive among them.
As we gradually reach the second floor, there are suddenly fewer Buddhist scriptures on the second floor. Many of the Buddhist scriptures collected here are rare and unique. At the same time, the seventy-two unique skills are also hidden in this second floor.
After casually flipping through a few volumes of scriptures, Chu Yi looked at Fang Zheng and said, "I am in the palace and have heard for a long time that there is a supreme Buddhist practice in Shaolin, including a volume of the Yi Jin Jing. I wonder if Mr. Chu would be honored to take a look at it?"
Chu Yi's face was calm, and there was no hint of coercion in his words. Fang Zheng raised his eyebrows when he heard this, clasped his hands together and said: "It's just a mere Yi Jin Jing. Since the governor has spoken, the poor monk will become the governor."
Fetched."
As expected, it was much easier for Chu Yi to read the Yi Jin Jing than ordinary people imagined. In fact, there were not many choices in front of Fang Zheng.
Either reject Chu Yi, but once he refuses, it means that Shaolin has offended Dongchang and is being targeted by such a notorious court agency. Even if Shaolin claims to eat fast and chant Buddha, and live in peace with the world, it will be troublesome.
Continuously.
Since you don't want to offend Chu Yi, then the Yi Jin Jing is not that important. Besides, it is not that easy to practice the Yi Jin Jing. Otherwise, the Yi Jin Jing has been circulated several times in the history of Shaolin, and few people have seen it.
Dominate the world by relying on the Yi Jin Jing.
While he was talking, Fang Zheng took out a slightly yellowed book from a hidden compartment and wrote the Yi Jin Jing in large characters.
"Master, please see, this is the Yi Jin Jing passed down by our temple."
Chu Yi took it, opened the page, glanced at it, and couldn't help frowning. Fang Zheng saw the change in Chu Yi's expression and couldn't help but feel a thump in his heart. Could it be that Chu Yi was dissatisfied?
You must know that this Yi Jin Jing has no hands or feet at all!
Chu Yi said intentionally or unintentionally while flipping through the pages: "Chu once saw in a secret volume in Da Nei that the Shaolin Yi Jin Jing was written in Sanskrit texts from India..."
Fang Zheng breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. He was still wondering why Chu Yi looked a little wrong after getting the Yi Jin Jing. It turned out that this was the problem.
Putting his hands together in a salute, Fang Zheng explained: "The Governor is unaware that the Yi Jin Jing was indeed the original Sanskrit text during the Northern Song Dynasty. However, not many people in the Central Plains know Sanskrit. In addition, the original text has been passed down by Patriarch Bodhidharma to this day. It can be said that
It has gone through thousands of years, and has long been mottled. Since the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the Yi Jin Jing has been translated by several eminent monks who are proficient in Sanskrit from the Zhengdao Academy. Since then, this Chinese version has been passed down through generations of Shaolin.
Got it!"
As if fearing that Chu Yi would not believe it, Fang Zheng carefully took out a box, then opened it and said: "Lord Governor, please look, this is the original Sanskrit version of the Yi Jin Jing. No matter how well it is preserved, it has been lost as time goes by.
