Chapter 99 99. Sutra Pavilion

After chatting with Huang Rong for a few more words, Abbot Tianming left the meditation room on the pretext that something happened in the temple.

The natural monk clasped his hands together and said to Huang Rong, "Master Huang, why don't you let the poor monk take you to Shaolin Temple?"

"Thank you, Master!" Huang Rong cupped her hands in thanks.

Of course, in addition to entertaining Huang Rong, he also let a disciple take Yang Chen to the Buddhist scripture pavilion.

"Remember to tell the disciples guarding the pavilion that all the Buddhist scriptures in the Sutra Pavilion can be viewed by Master Yang."

Then he gave him a token, and then said kindly to Yang Chen: "If Master Yang wants to copy Buddhist scriptures, it's fine."

Yang Chen clasped his hands together, "Thank you, master! Yang Chen is very grateful."

So Huang Rong and Yang Chen separated, and Yang Chen followed the disciple that the natural monk pointed out to go to the Sutra Pavilion in the back mountain.

On the way, Yang Chen broke the silence and asked, "Little Master, I don't know that Master Tianran has a high status in Shaolin Temple, right?"

"Of course, the natural master is the first seat in the Bodhidharma Hall, and he is also an eminent monk who can enter the Bodhi Court to study Buddhism."

The disciples of Shaolin Temple will first learn basic martial arts such as Luohan Boxing and Wei Tuo Palm in the Luohan Hall, and those with high talents can also study in the Bodhidharma Hall.

Therefore, the slightly higher-level disciples in Shaolin Temple are basically from the Bodhidharma Hall.As for the Bodhi Courtyard, it is the highest level of martial arts research place in Shaolin Temple. Many unique skills have been born in the Bodhi Courtyard for hundreds of years.

No wonder the natural monk can go out of the temple with Abbot Tianming to welcome the leader of the Beggar Clan. Not only is his martial arts superb, he has a high status in the temple, and he is probably trusted by the abbot.

The Sutra Pavilion of Shaolin Temple is also an important place in the temple, located in the northwest direction of the temple. The two walked along the path for a long time, passing through a few trees occasionally.

The vision in front of him suddenly became wider, and he could only hear the murmur of water. There was a pavilion standing beside the mountain stream, with a plaque on the top of the building, which read the three characters "Zangjing Pavilion".

The little monk said: "Benefactor Yang, this is the Sutra Pavilion of Shaolin Temple."

The pavilion was built near the water and far away from other houses, probably because it was afraid that the temple would catch fire and burn the precious scriptures inside.

Yang Chen thanked: "Thank you little master for leading me the way."

The little monk walked outside the Sutra-Depository Pavilion, took out the tokens that were naturally handed over to him, and showed the monks guarding the pavilion.

"This is Yang benefactor of the beggar gang. The abbot master allowed him to watch the Buddhist scriptures hidden in the Sutra Pavilion. I ordered him to come here by the order of the natural head."

The disciple guarding the pavilion took the token, and Zaixin observed it a bit, "The token is good, let's go in! I will go and verify it with the abbot later." Then he let the door open.

"Sir, please come in with me!"

When Yang Chen entered the pavilion, he saw tall bookshelves all around, and a desk in the center of the pavilion, with a few monks sitting sparsely on it, all sitting there quietly reading.

There are windows on all four walls of the Buddhist scriptures pavilion, and they are all open at this time. Although the pavilion is not lit, it is always bright.

There are more than one floor in the pavilion, and there are stairs on both sides to go upstairs, but there are monks guarding the stairs, and outsiders are not allowed to go up if they want to come.

The little monk said to Yang Chen: "The first floor of the Sutra Pavilion is full of Buddhist scriptures. Donors can read them at will. If there is anything you don't understand, you can ask me."

After finishing speaking, he walked to the side, found a Buddhist scripture and sat on the desk to read it, obviously he wanted to stay with Yang Chen in the Buddhist scripture pavilion.

Yang Chen walked to the bookshelf and looked at the labels on the bookshelf.Just now the little monk said that the first floor is full of Buddhist scriptures, which is actually wrong.

Because although most of them are Buddhist scriptures, there are also some martial arts cheats.But they are all superficial martial arts, there is only one martial art in Shaolin Temple, and that is Arhat Boxing, and there is no Wei Tuo Zhang, which is a little stronger.

What he didn't know was that there was no lack of Shaolin unique skills on the first floor of the Sutra Pavilion a hundred years ago. If Shaolin disciples had the chance, they would be able to find unique skills in the vast sea of ​​scriptures.

But later, people from other sects came to Shaolin Temple to secretly learn special skills, and even the incident of the fire worker Toutuo happened decades ago.

So Shaolin Temple issued a ban, not allowing Shaolin disciples to secretly learn martial arts, even the simplest Arhat boxing, they must report to their teachers before they can practice.

The slightly more advanced martial arts cheats on the first floor of the Sutra Pavilion were also found and stored on the higher floors of the Sutra Pavilion.

However, Yang Chen did not come here for the unique Shaolin knowledge, but for the "Nine Suns Manual" hidden in the "Langa Sutra".

It's not that you don't need to be too hasty about this kind of thing, Yang Chen found a few Buddhist scriptures from the bookshelf, imitated the appearance of a Shaolin disciple, and sat at the desk to read.And this reading takes half a day, from three poles in the sun to evening.

Seeing that it was getting late, the young monk walked up to Yang Chen, "Benefactor Yang, it's getting late, and the Sutra Pavilion will be closed."

Yang Chen asked in surprise: "Ah? Can't you stay at the Scripture-Changing Pavilion at night?"

"Unless it is special, the Sutra Pavilion is not open at night. After all, it is full of books at this time. If one is not serious and knocks over the candle, wouldn't it be..."

"Alright then!" Yang Chen closed the scriptures in his hand and put them on the desk, "Can you put the scriptures here and wait for me to read them tomorrow?"

"Of course." The little monk said.

The two walked out of the Sutra Pavilion side by side, Yang Chen suddenly asked: "By the way, I don't know the name of my little master yet."

"Benefactor Yang, the little monk's Dharma name is free from illness."

Yang Chen clasped his fists and said, "It turns out that he is a disease-free little master, I'm going to Yang Chen."

Wubing smiled and said, "Young monk knows."

"By the way, little master Wubing, Shaolin Temple has a long history and countless scriptures. I wonder if there are any original Buddhist scriptures from Tianzhu?"

Wu Bing wondered: "The original Buddhist scriptures are all written in Sanskrit, so the donor can understand it?"

Yang Chen smiled and said, "I've learned a little bit."

Wu Bing thought about it for a while, and then said: "The Buddhist scriptures are incomparably precious, and it is not my disciples who can make decisions. And let me report to the abbot before I can reply to the benefactor."

Yang Chen cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, little master."

After sending Yang Chen to the Zen room in the backyard without illness, he went to report to the abbot.Not long after Yang Chen stayed in the meditation room, Huang Rong came back. She followed the natural monk to visit the Shaolin Temple.

After seeing Yang Chen, she happily said: "Shaolin Temple is indeed the No.1 temple in the world, and it really lives up to its reputation. Come and see it with me tomorrow!"

Yang Chenguang shook his head, "No, I still need to read Buddhist scriptures."

Although he came to Shaolin Temple for the "Nine Suns Manual", he never told Huang Rong about it.

Seeing what Yang Chen said, Huang Rong couldn't hide her disappointment. Although the scenery of Shaolin Temple is beautiful, without Yang Chen's company, she would feel bored.

Huang Rong complained a little: "Since when did you like reading Buddhist scriptures so much? Could it be that you want to become a monk?"

Knowing Huang Rong's little mood, Yang Chen put his arms around her, "How could it be? With a wife like this, who would become a monk? I have something very important, I will tell you after I leave Shaolin."

"Really?" Huang Rong asked.
