The Superb Captain in the City

Chapter 1363: There are eminent monks in Shaolin Templ

Shaolin Temple, known as "Zen Buddhism" and "martial arts", has the reputation of "the best temple in the world". Because it is located in the dense jungle of Shaoshi Mountain in the hinterland of Songshan Mountain, it is named "Shaolin Temple". Shaolin Temple was founded in the 19th year of Taihe in the Northern Wei Dynasty. At that time, Emperor Xiaowen built Shaolin Temple at the northern foot of Shaoshi Mountain, Songshan, facing the capital city Luoyang, in order to house his respected Indian monk, Venerable Batuo. Shaolin Temple is a world-famous Buddhist temple, one of the ancestors of Buddhism Zen, and the birthplace of Shaolin martial arts. Shaolin Temple is famous all over the world because of Shaolin Kungfu. It is said that "the world of Kungfu comes from Shaolin, and Shaolin Kungfu is the best in the world".

In recent years, the Shaolin Temple has flourished and has countless reputations, but it is also becoming less and less like a Buddhist temple. Li Yifei came here without too much hope in his heart. He just wanted to find every place as much as possible, within the scope of his ability. Don't leave any omissions.

Walking into it, there are still many tourists. Li Yifei did not blindly search for it, but released his own power. This is a very mysterious aura, just like he would carry a copy of it after he had gone through guns and bullets before. The murderous aura that others cannot match, and entering the innate realm, Li Yifei has realized this kind of power. Every inborn master will also have this kind of aura, such as Xu Shanshan, such as Jiang Ningxiang, and even more so like Murong Yuanqing. .

Shaolin Temple is too big, not to mention hundreds of monks in it, there are also various tourists. Li Yifei wanted to find some real monks. The difficulty was not a little bit too big, so Li Yifei thought of a good way to release his power. If there is a real expert here, you can naturally feel it, if not, Li Yifei just turned around and walked away.

Therefore, even if there are a lot of people around, but everyone does not lean too close to Li Yifei, they naturally don't know the reason. They just feel that this young man has a strange feeling standing there.

This is Li Yifei's power, so he looks very special.

Standing in front of the mountain gate, Li Yifei looked up at the three dignified characters on the gate. On the forehead of the gate were the three characters "Shaolin Temple" personally mentioned by Emperor Kangxi of Qing Dynasty. The six-character seal of "Kangxi Imperial Pen Treasure" is engraved on the top center of the plaque. There is a pair of stone lions in front of the mountain gate, male and female facing each other, carved from the Qing Dynasty. There are two stone squares on the east and west sides of the eight-character wall of the mountain gate. The outer banner of the east stone square: "Zuyuandiben", and the inner banner "Batuo pioneer"; the inner banner of the west stone square: "Mahayana Resort" , External banner: "Song Shao Zen Forest". The main entrance of the mountain gate is a three-room wide single-eave Xieshan top building. It is located on a two-meter-high brick platform with hard mountain-style side doors and eight-shaped walls on the left and right. As we stepped in, we saw Maitreya Buddha enshrined in the altar, with a big belly and a smile. He was known as the "Big-belly Buddha" and "Everybody Happy Buddha". There is a wooden statue of Wei Tuo standing behind the shrine with a stick in hand. The weather of the mountain gate showed, and Li Yifei praised it as a Buddhist holy place. As soon as he walked in, Li Yifei could feel the breath that ordinary people could not feel. It was a kind of warmth, a breath that should be called Buddha breath.

After the mountain gate, it is the corridor. On both sides of the corridor is a forest of steles hidden by pine trees and cypresses. It is called the forest of steles because the steles are like forests. Li Yifei only looked at some steles and continued to move forward. The inscriptions on the steles were all about the profound Buddhadharma, but they had nothing to do with what he asked for. Associated.

Going forward, after the passage through the forest of steles, there is the Palace of Heavenly Kings. The Hall of Heavenly Kings is located at the end of the forest of steles. It enshrines the four heavenly kings symbolizing "wind, regulation, rain, and smoothness". The red walls and green tiles are painted on the arches. Each has a statue of King Kong. There are three double eaves on the top of the mountain, with two kings on the outside, and four statues of heaven on the inside, which are mighty and majestic.

The deeper Li Yifei feels, the stronger Li Yifei feels the Buddha's energy. The nearly two thousand years of precipitation in Shaolin Temple, among which countless monks with advanced Buddhism, have created the Buddha's energy here better than any Buddhist temple. Enveloped by Buddha's energy, Li Yifei's mood has become more and more peaceful. , I feel that at least I didn't come here in vain, even if I couldn't find what I was looking for.

The sound of the Buddha was curled up, and the expressions of the visitors became solemn, and further down, there is the Daxiong Hall, where the statues of Sakyamuni, Medicine Buddha, and Amitabha are housed. In the middle of the hall, the "Baoshufanglian" written by Emperor Kangxi's royal pen is hung. In four characters, there is a statue of Guanyin on the back wall of the screen wall, and there are statues of eighteen arhats on both sides.

The buildings on both sides of the temple front are the second floor of the bell and the drum, the southeast is the bell tower, and the southwest is the drum tower. The so-called morning bell and evening drum come from here. Li Yifei stayed here for a while before continuing to walk inside.

In further direction is the Hall of Thousand Buddhas. Behind the Lixue Pavilion, it is also known as the Pilu Hall. It is the last entrance to the main hall in the temple. According to the map in his hand, further inside is the Abbot’s Room. Li Yifei did not continue to go inside. An ordinary monk had walked towards him.

The monk has a rich face, a round face and wide ears. He is wearing ordinary monk clothes. He is not tall or short, about 1.7 meters tall. There is a string of ordinary Buddhist beads hanging on his chest. There is no hatred or joy in his eyes. He just walked out, although There was still some distance between the two, but Li Yifei already knew that the other party was rushing to him. So he turned around and watched the monk marching quietly.

You can't tell the age, maybe forty or fifty, or fifty or sixty, but there are not many wrinkles on the face, and the figure is lean, but not thin.

Visitors put their hands together and bowed to the monks one after another, or put their palms up, bending slightly, and the monks responded one by one, so it was only a few minutes before they walked to Li Yifei.

"Amitabha Buddha." The monk stopped two meters and flew to Li Yi first, and Li Yifei returned the salute. After the two parties saw the ceremony, the monk said: "It's noisy here. I was ordered by the master to ask the donor to go to the meditation house. "

Li Yifei nodded slightly, and said, "Master I'm troubled."

In my heart, I thought that it seemed that his release of power was effective, and the monk didn't say much, leading the way and leading Li Yifei down a path.

Visitors looked sideways and guessed Li Yifei's origins, but no one followed to watch the excitement. Everyone just thought that Li Yifei was really extraordinary and could be received by the master.

Of course, more people don't understand the truth, and there are not many people who can meet the monks of Shaolin Temple, but there are some, like Li Yifei, which belong to a special kind.

After the winding road, Li Yifei was taken to a Buddhist temple. He had already walked a long way, but after all, the Shaolin Temple was huge, and ordinary people didn't know what it was like.

After the monk bowed to him, he said, "Donor, Master is waiting for you inside."

"Thank you." Li Yifei felt a little bit. There was no special aura in the room, but the Buddha aura was stronger. The monk said no thanks, turned and left. Li Yifei glanced around, walked forward and gently pushed away. door. The door was concealed. Li Yifei opened it as soon as he pushed it, and walked in. Inside was a small room, probably a monk's bedroom inside, and a place for meeting and practicing Zen outside.

A monk was sitting on the futon, sitting in meditation with his eyes closed, Li Yifei walked in, and the other man opened his eyes.

This is a monk who is older than the monk just now. Both eyebrows have turned white, even more like the old monk seen in the movie. The white eyebrows are very long, hanging on both sides of his cheeks.

Wearing an ordinary cassock, he is not as jeweled as the abbot of Shaolin Temple seen on TV by Li Yifei. The white-browed monk is small in stature, sitting on the futon, and looks very thin, but the moment he opened his eyes, he was full of energy. , His eyes looked like a scanner, and he scanned Li Yifei.

Li Yifei folded his hands together, bent over slightly, and greeted: "Master!"

The white-browed monk did not stand up, but replied with a salute, saying: "Don't be polite, please sit down."

sit? There were only two futons in the room. There were no chairs or stools. Li Yifei thought about it for a moment, and he was not restrained. He walked over, pulled the futons, and sat cross-legged in front of the old monk.

After sitting down, Li Yifei didn't think about how to speak. He always felt that the old monk was unpredictable. He didn't feel any dangerous feeling from the other party, and he didn't even have a breath of breath, but he just thought that this person would be very fierce. It was the white-browed monk who spoke first: "Since the donor has cultivated to the level of restraint, why should he release it outside?"

"To find the master." Li Yifei replied.

"I have found it now."

"So I also converged."

After the two had finished speaking, there was a short pause. Li Yifei laughed. The white-browed monk no longer kept his face straight, and then laughed.

After laughing enough, Li Yifei asked: "I came here to ask for something."

The white-browed monk smiled slightly and said: "The old monk sits in the meditation room and never asks about foreign affairs. Moreover, Shaolin Temple is a place of Buddhists. There are people from outsiders here. I really don't know what can help the donor."

Li Yifei said, "Master, please rest assured, I'm just here to ask questions, not cause trouble."

"I'm already relieved."

"That's good, then I won't go around the corners, just straight to the point."

"The donor is already circling the bend."

Li Yifei looked at the old white-browed monk specially when he heard the words, nodded slightly, and said: "That's what I said, I came to your temple, there are two things, one is to ask the Buddhist mantra, and the other is to ask the teacher."

The old white-browed monk stroked his long eyebrows and trembled. Although it was not large, it might have been the reason why he opened his eyes, so Li Yifei saw this small movement.

The old monk with white eyebrows laughed and said, "Amitabha, the things the donor asks can be big or small. I don’t know if I know the old monk. I think the donor is extraordinary, sitting and lying, there are experts I don’t know why?"

Li Yifei saw that the old monk with white eyebrows saw blood in his body at a glance, and became more and more convinced that he had found the right person, so he did not hide it, and said, "I have been in the army for several years, and it is normal to have blood in my body."

As soon as this statement came out, the old monk Baimei was relieved. He is a reclusive monk in Shaolin Temple. On weekdays, he will only participate in Zen Buddhism again, and will not pay attention to things in the temple, but once a practitioner like Li Yifei arrives, It can only be received by monks like him.
