Let’s talk about Liaozhai at the beginning, I scared all the fans on the Internet to death

"Teacher Jiang Ning, our Shaolin Temple was built in the 19th year of Taihe in the Northern Wei Dynasty..."

At the invitation of Shaolin Temple abbot Shi Yongyan, Jiang Ning went to Shaolin Temple.

Regarding Jiang Ning's arrival, Shi Yongyan led the Shaolin monks to introduce the Shaolin Temple to Jiang Ning.

However, although the Shaolin Temple was famous in its previous life.

But in this life.

Shaolin Temple is somewhat like a small temple.

Not to mention that the entire Shaolin Temple is not particularly big, but there are not many monks in the entire temple.

Moreover, it seems that the Shaolin Temple does not have much expenses, and all the monks look sallow and thin.

Obviously the nutrition is not very good.

After a visit and a vegetarian meal with a group of monks, Jiang Ning asked Shi Yongyan: "Master Yongyan, may I ask if there is any tourism company investing in your Shaolin Temple?"

"this?"

Shi Yongyan was a little embarrassed: "We also want to introduce capital to promote our Shaolin Temple, but our Shaolin Temple is just a small temple. Currently, no tourism company is interested in our Shaolin Temple."

"What about your source of income?"

"It mainly comes from donations from donors, and we occasionally go down the mountain to beg for alms. In addition, our Shaolin Temple has about ten acres of farmland, and we have an income of 5 yuan a year."

"Ok."

It's really too ordinary.

Think about the Shaolin Temple in the past life.

Not to mention his fame.

Even his financial strength is even more powerful than that of listed companies.

It seems that I have to give Shaolin Temple a thumbs up.

of course.

Jiang Ning's idea is not to make the Shaolin Temple look like the previous life.

But seeing the Shaolin Temple in such a poor condition, Jiang Ning was also a little reluctant.

Anyway.

Shaolin Temple is also a part of Chinese culture.

even.

in the past.

Shaolin Temple is also an extremely important part of Chinese culture.

In previous lives, important figures from many countries would come to visit Shaolin Temple at every turn.

At the same time, monks from Shaolin Temple travel to various parts of the world and are extremely popular.

How could Jiang Ning be willing to let Shaolin Temple end like this?

"Master Yongyan, I seemed to have seen before that there are disciples in your temple practicing martial arts?"

"There are some disciples practicing, but they are all physical strengthening exercises."

"It's okay. It's good if you're practicing. I'm in our hometown, but I heard a saying?"

"Teacher Jiang Ning, what do you mean?"

"Well, let's talk about it when I do the live broadcast."

……

in the afternoon.

Jiang Ning held a selfie stick and conducted a live broadcast.

After discovering that Jiang Ning appeared in the Shaolin Temple, many netizens asked strangely: "Teacher Jiang Ning, why did you go to the Shaolin Temple?"

"Come here to visit. After all, it is the No. 1 temple in the world."

"No.1 Sha in the world?"

Everyone was a little confused: "Teacher Jiang Ning, the number one temple in the world is the White Horse Temple. Where can I get the Shaolin Temple?"

"It seems that people don't know much about the origin of Shaolin Temple. So today I will tell you about the Shaolin Temple, the No. 1 temple in the world."

Sitting on a big stone in the Shaolin Temple, Jiang Ning said: "The Shaolin Temple was first built in the Northern Wei Dynasty, but the Shaolin Temple was not well-known at that time. Later, a monk named Bodhidharma came to the Shaolin Temple, and since then, the Shaolin Temple began to prosper. This Bodhidharma is the founder of Zen Buddhism. Of course, you may not know much about Zen and what is not Zen, and that’s okay. It is said that this Bodhidharma is not only an eminent Buddhist monk, but also a powerful martial artist.”

"According to legend, when Emperor Wu of Liang met Bodhidharma, he didn't think much of Bodhidharma at first, so he let Bodhidharma leave on his own. But when he thought about Bodhidharma's words in the next few days, he felt that every word Bodhidharma said was unreasonable. It is the truth. For this reason, Emperor Wu of Liang sent people to chase Bodhidharma. However, after Bodhidharma talked with Emperor Wu of Liang, he thought that his killing was too heavy and did not want to see Emperor Wu of Liang again. But Bodhidharma was alone in the end. Soon, a The pursuers caught up with Bodhidharma by a river. They warned Bodhidharma that either he would go back with them or he would commit suicide by throwing himself into the river."

"Dharma smiled at the officers and soldiers, then he reached out and folded a reed, and then threw it into the river. Then Bodhidharma jumped up and stepped on the reed. The reed was like an arrow from the string, and then Like a boat flying away with a leaf, it took Bodhidharma to the other side of the river in an instant. Later, people called this story a reed crossing the river."

Let’s talk about the history of Shaolin Temple.

Naturally, we have to start with Bodhidharma.

Although everyone in the live broadcast room didn’t know much about who Bodhidharma was, they didn’t know much about his life either.

But the legend of Bodhidharma "crossing the river with a reed" mentioned by Jiang Ning is so vivid that everyone immediately remembers Bodhidharma.

But after all, Shaolin Temple is still too unknown. A group of netizens said: "Teacher Jiang Ning, Bodhidharma crossing the river with a reed is really powerful and very expressive. However, just for Bodhidharma crossing the river with a reed, it is said that Shaolin Temple is the best in the world." .1 brake, some are too exaggerated.”

"Everyone, don't worry."

Jiang Ning smiled and continued: "This is just the beginning, let's continue. After Bodhidharma arrived in Shaolin Temple, he began to promote Zen Buddhism, and for a while Shaolin Temple achieved great development. However, during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty adopted After hearing the opinions of the ministers, they believed that there were too many Buddhist disciples, which was too much of a drain on national power, so they began to exterminate Buddhism. Shaolin Temple was also seriously damaged during this process of exterminating Buddhism."

"It was not until the Sui Dynasty that the Shaolin Temple was restored. In the early Tang Dynasty, although Li Yuan established the Tang regime, the situation in the entire country was not stable at that time. The former Sui general Wang Shichong was entrenched in Luoyang and was known as the Emperor of Zheng. He was very powerful. There were also Dou Jiande of Hebei Province also tried his best to recruit troops and expand his territory, claiming the title of Emperor of Xia Kingdom. The two became the biggest obstacles to the Tang regime's unification of the world."

"At that time, Li Shimin came out as a Taiwei to fight against Wang Shichong. However, although Li Shimin was brave and good at fighting, Wang Shichong was not an easy person. The war did not go well at the beginning. For this reason, Li Shimin disguised himself as a civilian and went deep into Wang Shichong. They inquired about the military situation in the hinterland under their jurisdiction. Unexpectedly, Li Shimin was caught. The abbot of Shaolin Temple learned that Li Shimin had been arrested. Because he was deeply impressed by Li Shimin's virtue, he sent thirteen monks with long sticks in hand to rescue Li Shimin. In the end, with the rescue of 13 stick monks, Li Shimin escaped from Wang Shichong's control. Later, people called this story "Thirteen Stick Monks Saved the King of Tang".

of course.

Thirteen stick monks rescued the king of Tang Dynasty. This is a legendary story.

In real history, he was not like this.

The real historical event was that Shaolin Temple helped Li Shimin deal with Wang Shichong.

However, based on this period of history, the people have interpreted the legendary experience of the Thirteen Stick Monks rescuing the King of Tang.

"Oh my god, the Thirteen-stick Monk saved the King of Tang."

"Why haven't I heard this story?"

Don't think about it.

The Thirteen Stick Monks of Shaolin Temple even rescued the King of Tang.

want to come.

After being rescued, the King of Tang would definitely thank Shaolin Temple heavily.

In fact it is.

Jiang Ning continued: "It was precisely because the Thirteen Stick Monks rescued the King of Tang that later the King of Tang greatly rewarded the Shaolin Temple and promised to give the Thirteen Stick Monks high officials and noble titles. Twelve of the Thirteen Stick Monks were Expressing unwillingness to return to secular life, only one finally accepted the reward from the King of Tang. The King of Tang did not force it, so he called the Shaolin Temple monks monk soldiers, named the Shaolin Temple the No. 1 temple in the world, and also gave the Shaolin Temple a lot of land. .”

This is also the reason why Shaolin Temple has become the No. 1 temple in the world.

"No wonder Shaolin Temple has become the No. 1 temple in the world."

"I didn't expect to save Prince Tang."

"This story is quite legendary."

All the netizens in the live broadcast room were extremely fascinated.Although in it.

Some friends who are familiar with history believe that the story of the Thirteen Stick Monks of Shaolin Temple saving the King of Tang is probably not true.

He could be a story.

But there is so much truth in history.

History is originally written by people.

If it is written by humans, there will be problems like this.

Some even write randomly.

As long as everyone agrees, then even a story may become real history.

Furthermore.

This is not a discussion of historical academic issues.

This is a scenic spot, just a temple.

Telling some legendary stories, obviously no one will check whether they are true or false.

"Teacher Jiang Ning, what happened next?"

"It was precisely because of the award from the King of Tang that Shaolin Temple became the No. 1 temple in the world. At the same time, the Zen sect founded by Bodhidharma became the largest sect in the Tang and Song Dynasties. Until the Ming Dynasty, Shaolin Temple was still the No. 1 temple in the world. [-] moment. However, in the Ming Dynasty, Shaolin Temple inherited the legacy of the Tang Dynasty. At that time, Japanese pirates invaded our borders. Shaolin monks were recruited by the Ming Dynasty court at least six times to participate in wars and made many meritorious deeds. Therefore, the Ming Dynasty also They have built monuments and built temples for the Shaolin Temple many times, and it is the Shaolin monks who have continued to make great contributions, which has made Shaolin famous all over the world in addition to Zen Buddhism, and Shaolin Kung Fu has also begun to attract the world's attention."

"Until the Qing Dynasty, although the country had changed dynasties, there were still some Shaolin disciples who were loyal and patriotic. They met at the Yonghua Hall at the foot of Shaoshi Mountain to worship their ancestors and swear an oath: "In the words of Ming Taizu Hongwu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang when the Ming Dynasty was founded, He advocated the ambition of "driving out the barbarians and restoring China" and founded the Hongmen organization to fight against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty. "

"After that, these Shaolin disciples became members of the Red Sect, far away from the ancestral Shaolin Temple, scattered all over the world, hiding in all walks of life, forming different branches of the Red Sect, such as the Tiandi Society, the Red Flower Society, the Red Gang... and so on. At the same time, there were also many outstanding lay disciples of Shaolin Temple who fought against the Qing Dynasty and restored the Ming Dynasty. For example, Hong Xiguan, Fang Shiyu, Sande Monk...and so on. They combined Shaolin Zen martial arts, patriotism, loyalty and filial piety, family tradition, revitalization of the Chinese church, etc. The cultural essence was brought out of the temples, to the people, and spread all over the world... Since then, there has been a saying among the people that the world's martial arts originated from Shaolin."

Yes.

This is what Jiang Ning wants to say.

That is, the world's martial arts originated from Shaolin.

This statement may be somewhat inappropriate, and some may object.

but.

Such a sentence has influenced countless people.

to date.

As long as Kung Fu is mentioned, Shaolin Temple will come to mind.

When I think of Shaolin Temple, I think of Kung Fu.

even.

to later.

You would never think that Shaolin Temple is a temple or the ancestral home of Zen Buddhism.

But none of this matters anymore.

What matters is the effort.

What matters is the Kung Fu of Shaolin Temple.

"Damn it, Teacher Jiang Ning, your advertising skills are so superb."

"Yes, it makes me want to go to the Shaolin Temple to see it."

"Well, no, I'll go right away."

Although many people don’t know much about Shaolin Temple.

Although many people know that Shaolin Temple is not famous.

But what Jiang Ning added to the Shaolin Temple today made the Shaolin Temple completely different.

……

"Teacher Jiang Ning, is our Shaolin Temple really the No. 1 temple in the world?"

After speaking in a live broadcast, Shi Yongyan almost couldn't believe it.

Although the Shaolin Temple mentioned by Jiang Ning is roughly the same as the Shaolin Temple in history.

but.

In the details, there is a huge difference.

"of course."

Jiang Ning nodded: "Don't you want Shaolin Temple to become the No. 1 temple in the world?"

"Of course I want to, but..."

"Nothing to worry about."

"Teacher Jiang Ning, what I want to ask is, did our Thirteen Stick Monks of Shaolin Temple really save the King of Tang?"

"saved."

"Is there any historical data?"

"Ask Li Shimin."

"Teacher Jiang Ning, you..."

Shi Yongyan was a little uneasy: "Teacher Jiang Ning, if it is said that our Shaolin Temple is fake, how can we break it?"

"What kind of fraud? If you say it's fake, all the scenic spots will die."

This is Jiang Ning's truth.

Jiangning has also traveled to many famous mountains and rivers.

Speaking of famous mountains and rivers, there is naturally a series of stories.

It can be found here.

Most of the series of stories are fabricated. There are so many real historical events.

Just like Wudang Mountain, Chongyang Palace, Huashan...etc.

"Teacher Jiang Ning, I am mainly worried that you not only described our Shaolin as the No. 1 Shaolin in the world, but also described our Shaolin as the world's best martial arts. There were millions of people online in your live broadcast room just now. This influence is too great. It’s big. We are just a small temple. I estimate that when hundreds, thousands or even tens of thousands of people come, our Shaolin Temple will be demolished.”

"They dare."

Jiang Ning smiled and said, "I heard that your Shaolin Temple has 36 rooms."

"What is room 36?"

"Room 36 is the entrance to the 36 martial arts training halls, and each class has a unique skill. For example, Room No. 30, Fifth Room, practices Qing Kung Fu. Room 34, practices arm strength, and Room 33, practices forearm and wrist strength. Room 32 trains waist strength, Room 31 trains concentration, Room 29 trains eyesight, Room [-]..."

"Teacher Jiang Ning, where do we have these 36 rooms?"

“Can’t we create it now?”

Speaking of this, Jiang Ning immediately said: "We not only want to create 36 Shaolin rooms, but at the same time, we also want to create an [-]th bronze medalist."

"What is the Eighteen Bronze Man?"

"It is the eighteen bronze men formation composed of Shaolin Temple disciples. Anyone who is dissatisfied with Shaolin or wants to challenge Shaolin should first pass through the eighteen bronze men formation of Shaolin Temple."

Jiang Ning said extremely excitedly. (End of chapter)
