Three Wonders of Huashan

Chapter 91
Fang Ze said desolately: "The whereabouts of the family teacher are unknown. I don't know if Master Fangzheng knows the whereabouts of the family teacher?"

Master Fangzheng read a sentence: "Amitabha!"

Master Fang Sheng next to him said: "Fang Shaoxia, don't suffer yourself. The Buddha said: Dependence arises and extinction is caused by cause and effect. The poor monk believes that Mr. Yue will definitely return safely."

"Thank you Master Fangsheng for your good words!"

……

Hehehe... When the rapid bell rang, Fang Zheng and Fang Sheng's complexion changed drastically, and they accused them of crimes, saying: "This is the voice of Shaolin Temple summoning monks, you two benefactors, please go about yourselves!" After speaking, he hurried down the mountain.

Fang Ze also glanced at Ren Yingying, and the two became curious, and followed the two masters to Shaolin Temple.Not long after the two came to the main hall, they saw that more than [-] people had gathered in the hall, and the rest of the monks kept coming in.The two of them were mixed in the crowd, but not many people paid attention to them.In a short while, more than a thousand monks from Shaolin Temple had gathered in the hall, lined up in different branches, although there were many people, they were silent.Fang Zheng, Fang Sheng, Fang Xiang, and Fang Ci, several eminent monks of the Fang generation, were surrounded by monks and looked out of the hall with solemn expressions.

Suddenly, a clear and clear voice came from afar outside, saying: "Shaolin eminent monks and great virtues are gathered together, but are you waiting for the junior monk?"The voice came from outside the mountain gate, it was so clear to the ear, but it was upright and peaceful, not shocking to the ears. One can imagine the speaker's inner strength is high and pure; but he was far away, how could he know the scene in the palace?
Master Fangzheng was startled for a moment, then he mobilized his internal energy and said: "Since you are fellow Buddhists, please come." He also said: "Fang Sheng and Fang Xiang, please welcome the guests for me." Fang Sheng and Fang Xiang bowed He said: "Yes!" Just turned around, and when he was about to leave the hall, the person outside the door said: "I dare not welcome you. It is a great joy to meet Gao Xian today."

Every time he said a word, his voice became several feet closer. Just after he finished saying the word "Zhixi", a middle-aged monk with a dignified appearance appeared at the gate of the main hall, clasped his hands together, smiled, and said: "Putian Shaolin Fa Zhao, see the abbot of Shaolin Temple."

Fang Zheng stood up, took two steps forward, put his hands together and bowed, and said, "Master Fazhao, there is no need to be polite!" Then he introduced Fang Sheng, Fang Peng and other masters one by one.When all the monks meet, Fang Zheng sets up a seat in the middle and invites Fazhao to take his seat.

Fa Zhao was a little humble, and then sat down.

Fang Ze secretly doubted that such a character could not be portrayed in the original book, and if he came alone, Shaolin Temple would be facing a formidable enemy.What is the origin of this photo?He was puzzled, so he looked at Ren Yingying, and saw that Ren Yingying was also bowing her head in thought, so he knew that she didn't know either.

Master Fangzheng said: "Chan Master Fazhao, the letter is vague. I don't know what is the meaning of this school's theory?"

As soon as Master Fangzheng's "Hepai" words came out, except for a few eminent monks of Fang's generation who had read the letter, all the more than a thousand monks in the hall were talking about it.

Fang Ze and Ren Yingying looked at each other, feeling incredible, this photo is really crazy, even if he really beat all the eminent Shaolin monks with his skills, the idea of ​​joining the sect is probably just a fantasy.

Chan Master Fazhao was not in a hurry when he heard the commotion of the monks, he just took out a bright yellow booklet from his pocket and handed it to Fang Zheng.

Master Fang Zheng took the booklet from his hand, opened it and glanced at it, he felt dizzy and almost couldn't stand still.Steady mind, without saying a word, handed the brochure to other juniors to watch.

"Senglusi Zuo Shanshi?" Fang Xiang's complexion changed drastically, and he couldn't help blurting out.

Ren Yingying asked in a low voice: "Young Master Fang, what kind of name is Zuo Shanshi, the monk recorder? Why did Master Fangzheng and the others change their faces when they heard this?"

Fang Ze explained in a low voice: "Senglu Zuo Shanshi is in charge of the world's Buddhist sects. It is not a permanent official position. Since the establishment of the Ding Dynasty, only Daoyan Master Yao Guangxiao has held this position."

Ren Yingying turned pale with shock when she heard the words, and said, "Isn't it imperative to merge the northern and southern Shaolin in this way?"

Fang Ze said: "That's not necessarily true, let's just watch."

Zen Master Fazhao recited: "Amitabha." The monks from Shaolin Temple recited the Buddha's name in unison.Zen Master Fazhao continued: "Master Fang Zheng, do you want someone to check the authenticity?"

Master Fangzheng said: "I'll bring it up later after checking the authenticity. I don't know what Master Zuo Shanshi has taught you? Our monastery obeys all matters of Buddhism!" Nodding again and again.Regarding the life and death of Shaolin Temple, Master Fangzheng was able to find a loophole, and to say these words can be regarded as a super performance.You must know that Fang Zheng is a person who is sensitive but slow in speaking.

Chan Master Fazhao seemed not to understand what Master Fangzheng was saying, and said to himself, "It's so good! Master Fangzheng understands the righteousness so well, and there is hope for the great prosperity of Buddhism! Since the poor monk took the post of Zuo Shanshi I deeply feel the heavy responsibility. Nowadays, there are many sects of Buddhism, and it is really inconvenient for Buddhism to prosper in the world. There are three things that I take the liberty to come here today, and I hope to discuss them with Master Fangzheng and other eminent monks!"

Master Fangzheng recited a sentence of Amitabha, and waited for the following.

Fazhao continued: "The first thing is that there are many errors in the Buddhist scriptures in various temples in the world. The poor monk hopes to re-transcribe all the scriptures and bring them together in one place to eliminate the false and preserve the true."

Fang Zheng said: "This is a grand event in Buddhism, Shaolin Temple has no objection!"

Zen Master Fazhao said again: "The second thing is to gather all the martial arts and heart methods of Buddhism in one place. From now on, all my Buddhist disciples can practice, and everyone will be my Buddhist Dharma Protector..."

"This matter is absolutely inappropriate!" Master Fang Xiang is the head of the Discipline Academy of Shaolin Temple, and his duty is to maintain Shaolin martial arts secrets and not to spread them to outsiders.So as soon as he heard Fazhao's words, he jumped out and interrupted Fazhao's words.

Zen Master Fazhao frowned, and asked, "What is Master Fang Xiang's advice?"

Fang Xiang came out and refuted: "What is the relationship between martial arts and Buddhist classics? How can they be confused?"

Zen Master Fazhao said with a smile: "Aren't Shaolin Temple's martial arts secrets created by eminent monks of all ages? How can it be said that it has nothing to do with Buddhism?"

All the monks in Shaolin Temple looked at each other in blank dismay. Although they knew that Fazhao's words were justified, they still felt that this statement was not easy to refute.

"The creations of eminent monks are Buddhist classics, so the poems, songs, calligraphy and painting articles written by eminent monks are also Buddhist classics?" Fang Ze's inner strength is profound, and everyone can hear this sentence clearly.

"Of course not!" Chan Master Fazhao replied.

"May I ask Zen Master Fazhao how many monks there are in Putian Shaolin?" Fang Ze asked again.

Zen Master Fazhao replied: "Although Putian Shaolin is not as numerous as Shaolin Temple, there are 370 five monks."

"Does everyone know how to chant scriptures and worship Buddha?"

"I don't dare to be negligent in chanting scriptures and paying homage to the Buddha for a day!"

"Does everyone practice martial arts?"

"This one……"

"Has everyone in the temple practiced the poems, calligraphy and paintings of the former sages and eminent monks?"

Fang Ze didn't wait for Fazhao's answer, and continued: "Chan Master Fazhao, it can be seen that apart from chanting scriptures and worshiping Buddha, the martial arts of Buddhist disciples are as heretical as poetry, calligraphy and painting. Even ordinary monks of your sect understand and follow the unerring principles. Don't you understand?"

Master Fang Zheng read a sentence: "Amitabha, Fang Shaoxia's words are very kind!"

Fang Ze said: "Master Fang Zheng is too famous!"

Zen Master Fazhao did not get entangled with Fang Ze, and said to Fang Zheng: "Master Fang Zheng, Buddhist martial arts can be gathered together in one place, so that we can prove each other's merits and learn from each other's strengths to make up for our weaknesses. Master Fangzheng confirms one or two, and Master Fangzheng will know that what the poor monk said is true!"

Master Fangzheng recited a Buddhist mantra, and said, "No matter how strong the martial arts of other sects are, my Shaolin Temple will not covet them. Just as Fang Shaoxia said, martial arts are only heretics in my Buddhist school after all. Zen Master Fazhao is a sign!"

"Master Fangzheng, it is imperative to gather Buddhist martial arts in one place! The poor monk wants to confirm one or two things with the master, just to prove that the poor monk is selfless in his heart, and he is not coveting your Shaolin martial arts." Zen Master Fazhao said without hesitation room for.Master Fangzheng had no choice but to agree.

Fang Ze was very anxious, if he didn't know why the competition was for nothing, even if Master Fang Zheng won, the other party would not promise not to bring together Buddhist martial arts in one place.He hurriedly jumped out and said: "Zhan Master Fazhao and Master Fangzheng, why don't you come down and make a judgment for you. If Chan Master Fazhao wins, then follow what Chan Master Fazhao said. How about bringing martial arts together in one place, let it go?"
