"Uncle He, don't laugh at me. Please sit down and listen to me. What your nephew is going to say later might involve your taboo, Uncle He. I hope Uncle He won't blame me and let your nephew finish.”Lu Zhanyuan pulled Old Fighter He and pressed him against the seat, speaking seriously.
Lu Zhanyuan was so mysterious and solemn. Old Fighter He was even more curious. He smiled and said,""Yuan Er, just say it. Uncle promises not to be angry.”
Lu Zhanyuan chuckled and said," I apologize for my rudeness at home. Father has already explained Uncle He's situation to me. However, I realized that Uncle He's understanding was a little wrong."”
"Oh? What's wrong?" Old Fighter He was a little embarrassed when Lu Zhanyuan mentioned this, but he was surprised when he heard Lu Zhanyuan say that he had misunderstood his teacher's words.
"Uncle He, don't be anxious. Buddhism pays attention to fate. Back then, that master also said that everything should go with the flow, but at that time, you had already traveled thousands of miles to come to him. Why didn't he let nature take its course and accept you as his disciple? Actually, the reason isn't that we didn't accept you in the first place, but that the Shaolin Temple has been closed for more than a hundred years. It has always only taught the monks in the temple to practice martial arts, but it doesn't accept laymen martial artists outside the temple. That master said that he has no fate with you as a master and disciple, and the reason is this. Since he said that he has no fate with you as a master and disciple, why didn't he stop you from performing the ceremony of becoming a master in the end? Uncle He, you didn't understand the master's meaning here. Although Shaoli Temple no longer accepted layman martial disciples, it never stipulated that it wouldn't accept layman Buddhist disciples. However, Uncle He, you only remembered that Shaolin Temple was the most powerful in the martial arts world, but you didn't expect that Shaolin Temple was also the mainstay of Buddhism. You don't have the heart to worship Buddha, so the master naturally won't let you go to Shaolin again. If you let go of your obsession and believe in Buddha, you can rightfully be the master's disciple and Shaolin disciple. He could also step into Shaolin with a clear conscience.”Lu Zhanyuan took a deep breath. His heart was beating fast. This reason was a little forced. He didn't know if he could convince this old boxer. Although the reason was a little far-fetched, Old Fighter He who wanted to clear his name needed a reason, no matter if it was far-fetched or not.
As Lu Zhanyuan spoke, Old Fighter He's eyes became brighter and brighter, as if the dark clouds had been cleared away and he was suddenly enlightened. Why didn't he understand his master's meaning after so many years? Not even a child could understand it clearly. He was really confused. Old Fighter He stood up suddenly, his expression was both happy and angry. He grabbed Lu Zhanyuan excitedly and said,"Good nephew, my good nephew, it's all thanks to you that I was able to clear your doubts. Uncle He is extremely happy.”
Lu Zhanyuan was shocked. He thought that the old man had gone crazy from the shock, and his shoulders were hurting from his grip. However, when he heard that the old man wanted to repay him, Lu Zhanyuan was instantly overjoyed. This was the result that he had racked his brains for. He hurriedly said,"Uncle He, don't be agitated. Let go of me first. You're hurting me.”
Old Fighter He came back to his senses and quickly let go of his hands, smiling,""Haha…good nephew, don't be shocked. Uncle is too happy. Now that you have untied the knot in my heart, just tell me what you want. As long as it's within my ability, I will definitely agree to it.”
" I was waiting for you to say that." Lu Zhanyuan cheered excitedly in his heart, but he said calmly,""I have no other requests. I only hope that Uncle He can bring me along when he goes to Shaolin Temple.”
"Oh? May I know why Yuan 'er went to Shaolin?”Old Fighter He didn't dare to underestimate Lu Zhanyuan anymore. To be able to analyze things so thoroughly, he didn't look like a six-year-old child at all.
Lu Zhanyuan cupped his hands slightly." I'm going there to admire the grandmasters that Uncle He mentioned. Secondly, I've been studying Buddhism for the past two years, and there are many things that I don't understand. I want to copy some Buddhist scriptures and study them at home."”
"Hehe…Yuan 'er is so kind. Buddha will definitely bless you. Alright, we'll leave tomorrow. Uncle will take you to Shaolin Temple.”Old Fighter He was in a good mood and wished he could fly to Shaolin Temple right now. He waved his hand and readily agreed to this small request.
The next day, Old Fighter He brought Lu Zhanyuan to the Shaolin Temple in a carriage. Originally, Old Fighter He wanted to ride a horse, which would be faster, but the six-year-old Lu Zhanyuan obviously couldn't bear the jolt of a horse. After four days, the two of them finally set foot on Mount Song.
The Shaolin Temple was built in the 19th year of Taihe of the Northern Wei Dynasty (495 AD). It was built by Emperor Xiaowen to settle the Indian monk Batuo. Because it was built in the dense forest of Mount Song, it was named "Shaolin Temple". In the third year of Xiaochang of the Northern Wei Dynasty (527 AD), the Indian monk Bodhidharma came to Shaolin and faced the wall in a natural cave on Wuru Peak of Shaoshi Mountain for nine years. He first taught Zen. At this point, Shaolin was known as the "Ancestral Court of Zen." Legend has it that Shaolin martial arts was founded by Dharma
At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, Tan Zong and the other thirteen staff-using monks of Shaolin Temple had made great contributions to the war against Wang Shichong by Li Shimin, the King of Qin. They had received praise and rewards from the rulers of the Tang Dynasty. Tan Zong was appointed as a general. During this period, due to the strong support of the imperial court, Shaolin Temple developed very quickly and won the reputation of "the best temple in the world". Shaolin Kungfu also became famous from then on.
The entire Shaolin Temple was dignified and solemn. The ancient gate and the serene courtyard brought people a transcendental sublimation. The reception monk went down the steps to welcome them." Amitabha. Patrons, are you going to offer incense or pay respects to Buddha?"”
Old Fighter He put his palms together and bowed back,""Greetings, Master. This old man is the disciple that Master Ascetic took in when he was traveling. Now that I've understood the Zen he left behind, I've returned to the mountain to thank him.”Although he guessed that most of his masters had passed away, that was the reason why he entered the mountain.
At this moment, Lu Zhanyuan knew that the ascetic monk who saved Old He's life and gave him the fist manual was also called ascetic. He found it funny. This name was quite appropriate.
"Amitabha. Patrons, please wait a moment. I will report this to the abbot.”The master of the Ku generation was a generation higher than the current abbot. Although the little monk had not entered the temple for long and did not know who the master of asceticism was, he was still anxious and did not dare to be negligent when the disciple of the Ku generation came to pay his respects.
After the time it took to brew a cup of tea, an old monk in his sixties walked out of the door with two monks in their thirties." Amitabha. May I know if this benefactor claims to be the disciple of the Ascetic Martial Uncle?"”The old monk asked as he put his palms together.
Lu Zhanyuan rolled his eyes and thought to himself,'If it's not him, could it be me? What a question!
"Greetings, Grandmaster. How should I address you, Grandmaster?" Old Fighter He returned the greeting, not daring to call himself an old man.
"This Penniless Monk's Dharma Name: Xinran, Master Ascetic is this Penniless Monk's Martial Uncle. I wonder if benefactor has any evidence to prove what you said?”Obviously, he couldn't just get a senior brother for no reason just because of one sentence.
"Grandmaster, you are right. When I was apprenticed to you, Senior Brother Xinhui was also present. Now that I have seen Senior Brother Xinhui, I can tell the truth.”Old Fighter He thought, Luckily, Senior Brother Xinhui was the disciple of the Ascetic Master and he was there to see me take him as my master. Otherwise, I really don't know how to prove it.
"Amitabha. In that case, please follow me into the temple to pay my respects to Abbot Xinhui.”The old monk's expression became more respectful. Since this person dared to say that Fang Zhang knew about it, it was most likely the truth. If there were no accidents, this person should be his senior brother.
Lu Zhanyuan had been standing at the side without saying a word. Now that he had stepped into the Shaolin Temple, he could not help but feel extremely excited."I've finally stepped into Shaolin Temple. Oh heavens, oh earth, my super divine technique, I'm coming! Buddha bless, Hungry Rice Top, let this disciple successfully obtain the secret manual!”
