The Record of Swordsmen in the Late Sui and Early Tang Dynasties

Chapter 50

After hearing this, the wise monk bowed to the old monk. "Yes, abbot, Zhi Zhi will follow the teachings of the abbot senior brother."

After finishing speaking, the intelligent monk looked at Duan Wuji and Tieniu and said, "You heard what the abbot said just now, it's not that I don't want to help, it's because the temple rules don't allow it."

Duan Wuji and Tieniu shook their heads helplessly after hearing this, they were so disappointed.

The wise monk smiled wryly and said, "You two come with me, and I will guide you around this temple."

The two followed the smart monk out of the reception room. The smart monk looked around and said to the two in a low voice, "Let me take you to the Arhat Hall for a visit. Today is just in time for the Arhat Hall to perform martial arts. I will take you there." Take a look and see if you have any opportunities."

Duan Wuji smiled at Tieniu after hearing this, and the two of them followed the smart monk and went straight to the martial arts hall.

Entering the martial arts hall, I saw all the monks were chanting scriptures in the hall. The deacon of the Arhat hall saw that the elder Zhi Zhi led the two lay people in, and hurried forward to salute.

"Uncle, what's the matter?"

The smart monk listened and smiled and said: "Nephew Huichen, this is a disciple I met when I was traveling in the world of mortals. His name is Duan Wuji, and he can be regarded as my official disciple. This time they will come to my Shaolin Temple to learn some martial arts from me. Naihe temple regulations do not allow it.

Now, by order of Abbot Feng, take them to visit our Arhat Hall. You must not teach them any martial arts, so as not to break the temple regulations.

However, you have been allowed by the abbot to watch them perform martial arts in the temple, so you don't have to have any doubts. "

Master Huichen laughed and said, "Uncle Zhizhi, we all understand, please go back when you are old. We will start practicing kung fu in a while."

The intelligent monk smiled and blinked at Duan Wuji.

"Wuji, I'm busy now as a teacher, you can visit here yourself."

After hearing this, Duan Wuji bowed deeply to the intelligent monk.

"Master, hurry up and go, we will visit your old man after we visit here for a while."

The intelligent monk listened and nodded.

"Well, I'm waiting for you as a teacher. When you leave, I will give you another chance."

After speaking, the wise monk turned and walked out.

Duan Wuji and Tieniu watched all the monks chant the scriptures, and Master Na Huichen chanted the Buddha's name.

"Amitabha Buddha, fellow monks, just now Master Zhishu brought two lay disciples to visit our Arhat Hall. These two lay disciples are also related to my Buddha. They also know a little bit of martial arts. Brothers, today we will Work hard, don't let this lay friend see our jokes."

The monks clasped their hands together.

"Senior Brother Huichen, don't worry, we will never lower my reputation in Shaolin Temple."

Hui Chen smiled and said to a monk: "Hui Kong, you should practice my Arhat stick in Shaolin Temple first."

A 25-year-old monk walked out of the crowd immediately after hearing this.

"Senior brother, then Huikong is making a fool of himself."

Duan Wuji and Tieniu stared intently after hearing this.

I saw that the monk named Huikong picked up a big stick, and a swallow jumped out of the hall with three copies of water.

Duan Wuji and Tie Niu couldn't help but nodded when they saw each other.

"Well, good work. Although two people can master this exercise, compared with this monk, it's not as bad as 01:30."

When the monk came to the courtyard, one monkey climbed up the tree and stood up on the ground with a big stick. The whole person stood upside down in the courtyard. Suddenly, there was a burst of applause and cheers in the hall.

I saw the monk gently fall from the stick, and then the big stick swept forward, and the autumn wind swept the fallen leaves to dry the place.

I saw that this stick practiced one move at a time very slowly at the beginning. After practicing once, I started to practice the second time, and the movements were still not fast. After the third practice, the movements suddenly accelerated, and the big stick was hanging. There was a whistling sound of the wind, and the whole movement was done in one go like flowing clouds and flowing water.

After the rehearsal, monk Huikong clasped his fist at everyone.

"Brothers, brothers, this little monk has made a fool of himself."

After speaking, he immediately retreated from the yard.

Monk Huichen pointed at a monk in his thirties.

"Junior Brother Huiyuan, come down and practice this arhat stick technique as well. Pay attention to your strength when practicing, and don't let outsiders see our jokes."

The monk named Hui Yuan clasped his hands together and gave a deep salute to Monk Hui Chen.

"Brother, don't worry, I will never let outsiders see our jokes, then the little monk will start practicing."

I saw that the monk named Huiyuan was acting the same as the monk just now, slowing down and quickening. When the exercise was over, this monk also retreated from the courtyard.

Duan Wuji whispered to Tieniu: "Brother Tieniu, study hard. Brother, do you know why people are slow and fast?"

Tie Niu shook his head.

"How do I know this? I don't know, I don't know!"

Duan Wuji leaned close to Tieniu's ear and whispered: "This is someone who intentionally taught us, you can't ignore it."

After hearing this, Tieniu said in a low voice: "Brother, don't worry, I have been watching carefully, and I can remember their actions almost exactly."

Duan Wuji listened and nodded.

"Well, that's good, then I can rest assured."

At this moment, the monk named Huichen said to the crowd: "Today I will also practice this Arhat stick technique, everyone can take care of it."

The monk named Huichen walked out of the hall with a smile and came to the courtyard. The monk Huichen said that he had practiced it, and immediately practiced the Hanluo stick technique three times.

It was practiced faster than the first time. After three times of practice, monk Huichen said loudly: "Brothers and brothers, hurry up and line up outside. Let's practice this set of Arhat stick techniques as a group."

After hearing this, more than 100 monks in the main hall immediately ran to the yard, stood in line and began to practice this set of Arhat stick techniques. They saw the big sticks raised together, shouting loudly, and everyone practiced this set of Arhat stick techniques nine times Just stopped.

Monk Huichen smiled and said to the monks: "Let's end the rehearsal today, let's disband."

Monk Hui Neng came over with a smile and asked Duan Wuji, "Little benefactor, have you learned the stick technique we practiced just now?"

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "Master Huichen, look at what you said, your temple's stick technique is famous all over the world. If you don't teach it, how can we learn it? We can't learn it, we can't learn it!"

Monk Huichen laughed out loud.

"Well, you can't learn the best, you can't learn the best, and it will be troublesome if you learn it. Since you haven't learned it, then little benefactors, please do what you want."

Duan Wuji gave a deep salute to Monk Huichen, and then pulled the iron bull with his hand.

"Brother Tieniu, let's stop disturbing others, then let's go."

Saying that, the two retreated from the Arhat Hall.

After leaving the Arhat Hall, Tieniu smiled and said to Duan Wuji: "Brother, why did you lie just now? What is the reason for this?"

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "This is the profound part of Buddhism, if you know it, you don't know it, if you don't know it, you know it.

Brother Tieniu, if people in the temple ask about this in the future, they must not say what they have learned, do you understand? "

Tie Niu smiled and nodded.

"Brother, I understand, I understand."

Duan Wuji smiled and said: "Okay, it's fine if you understand it, let's go, let's go to my teacher Zhizhi monk."

As he said, Duan Wuji led Tieniu to the yard where he came.

Entering the yard, I saw the intelligent monk was chatting with the abbot.

Seeing Duan Wuji leading Tieniu in, Zhizhi monk quickly stood up and asked, "Wuji, did you learn anything in Shaolin Temple just now?"

Duan Wuji shook his head.

"Master, this disciple is stupid. He didn't learn anything just now. Master, this disciple is embarrassing for you."

The intelligent monk listened and laughed, "Well, since you haven't learned anything, I'll send you down the mountain."

The old abbot laughed and said, "You two young benefactors, you are so smart! When you come to this monastery, you don't learn anything. It's really admirable.

Junior brother, since this is the case, why don't you hurry up and send the two little benefactors down the mountain?Let's end this fate! "

The wise monk listened and smiled.

"Wuji, you two hurry up and go down the mountain with me, don't miss the hour."
