Shaolin Temple was a famous Buddhist temple in our country. It was a famous ancestral temple of Zen and a good place for Shaolin Kungfu. It was located at the foot of Mount Song's Five Rufeng Peak, which was one of the main scenic spots of Mount Song.
Shaolin Temple was built in the 19th year of Taihe of the Northern Wei Dynasty (495 AD). It was built by Emperor Xiao to settle the Indian monk Bhatuo. 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 (57 A.D.), Bodhidharma, an eminent monk from India, came to Shaolin. He faced the wall in a natural cave on Wuru Peak of Shaoshi Mountain for nine years and taught Zen. At this point, Shaolin was known as the "Ancestral Court of Zen." At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, Zhijian, Tanzong, and the other thirteen staff-using monks of Shaolin Temple made great contributions to the war against Wang Shichong by Li Shimin, the king of Qin. They were praised and rewarded by the rulers of the Tang Dynasty. During this period, due to the strong support of the imperial court, the 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 Ming Dynasty reached its peak. During the period of the Republic of China, the warlord Shi Yousan set fire to most of the buildings of Shaolin Temple, and the thousand-year-old foundation was destroyed. After the founding of Xin, with the care and support of the party and the country, Shaolin Temple regained its glory. Especially in 1998, a movie "Shaolin Temple" made Shaolin Temple and Shaolin Kungfu popular in the world, becoming a top tourist product in Henan and even the world.
Since Shaolin Temple was built, Zen, martial arts, and medicine have been world-famous for a long time. They have accumulated rich historical content and cultural heritage. They have been rated as "Top Ten Scenic Spots Zhengzhou City" and "4A Scenic Spots" in the country. They receive more than 50 million tourists every year. They are truly the original tourist pearl and the tourist destination of China.
When he walked inside, there were many tourists who looked at the photos everywhere. Zhu Siqi knew that this was only the outer courtyard of Shaolin Temple. If he wanted to go to the inner Shaolin Temple, he would have to ask the monks in the temple.
When he saw a young monk hitting the ground, he walked over and asked,"Little Master, may I ask where the reception elder of your temple is?”
When the young monk saw someone asking, he returned the greeting and said," The reception elder is working in the south wing room at the back of the hall. Patron, you will see it when you enter from here."”
"Thank you, Little Master." After saying that, Zhu Siqi walked towards the back of the hall. When he came to the back, he saw a house in the south with a signboard that said " Receiving Office." When he walked inside, he saw many monks working. Now, Shaolin Temple was also using modern management.
Someone inside saw someone coming in from outside. A young monk with glasses stood up and said,"Patron, may I know what you're here for?"
"I want to find your receptionist elder."
"Elder is in that room inside. You can go in yourself.”Zhu Siqi thanked him and went to the room inside.
There was a desk inside, and behind the desk sat a monk in his forties. He had a round face and was on the phone. When he saw someone come in, he gestured for him to sit down.
After he finished the call, he said to Zhu Siqi,""Benefactor, may I know why you are looking for me?”
Zhu Siqi looked at him and knew that this monk must have practiced Kung Fu before, but he didn't have Genuine Qi in his body. He must have practiced physical Kung Fu.
"I want to find you to host."
" We abbot usually don't receive guests. Patron, if you have anything to say, you can tell me. I will definitely do what I can for you," Monk Nian said tactfully.
" I want to go to the inner Shaolin Temple," Zhu Siqi said.
"Inner Shaolin? Who are you?" When Monk Nian saw that he knew about the Inner Shaolin Temple, he thought that he was a disciple of some aristocratic family.
"My master is also a Shaolin disciple. He called me Fan. Have you heard of him before?”
"Liaofan? Of course, Monk Nian had never heard of him. He left Shaolin more than 50 years ago. At that time, he should not have been born.
"Have you heard of that Master Zhineng before?”
Monk Nian still knew about Zhineng. When he came, Zhineng was the sect leader of Shaolin Temple. Ever since Zhineng passed the position of sect leader to Ru more than ten years ago, he had been in seclusion in the back mountain and ignored worldly affairs.
"Who is Master Zhineng to you?"
"He's my grandmaster, my master's two disciples.”
Hearing Zhu Siqi's words, the monk was shocked.
" Alright, I'll go see the abbot right away and ask him to take you to the inner Shaolin Temple." He stood up and led Zhu Siqi out.
After passing through a few side halls, they arrived in front of an antique Buddhist building. That was the resting place of the outer Shaolin abbot.
Monk Nian led him to the main hall and sat down. He went inside to look for the abbot first. When he arrived at the abbot's meditation room, he saw that the abbot was reading scriptures.
"Abbot, there is a young man outside who wants to enter the inner Shaolin. He said that he is the grand-disciple of Master Zhineng.”
"Oh, Master Zhineng's grand-disciple has never gone out of the Inner Shaolin Temple. Where did this grand-disciple come from?”The abbot was also from Inner Shaolin, so he knew the reason.
"He said he's the disciple of Liao Fan."
"Liaofan, Second Uncle-Master!" When the abbot heard that he was Liao Fan's disciple, he knew that other than Liao Ping, he had a second martial uncle, Liao Fan, in his early years. However, he had left Shaolin more than 50 years ago and had never heard from him.
"Quickly invite him in. No, let me go out and see him. He is the disciple of my second martial uncle. He is of the same generation as me."
The two of them came to the lobby and saw a young man sitting in the lobby. Although he did not look outstanding, his eyes were very spiritual. The host knew that he should be an internal energy expert.
"You are the disciple of Martial Uncle Fan? Do you have any proof?" Seeing that Zhu Siqi was so young, the host couldn't believe it. He wanted to ask first.
"Disciple has a string of Buddha beads that Grandmaster gave Master back then.”When Liaofan left, he also gave Zhu Siqi a string of Buddha beads. It was given to him by his master Zhineng. Although it was not a rare item, it was very precious because it was given by his master.
The abbot saw Zhu Siqi take out a string of Buddha beads. His own master and uncle also had the same string of Buddha beads. They usually played with it in their hands. He could tell at a glance that it was the same.
He immediately pulled Zhu Siqi's hand." Junior Brother, how's your master doing recently? Why didn't he come back to visit?"”
Zhu Siqi said," Everything is fine with Master. It's just that Master likes to travel around the world and has been out recently. Before he left, he asked me to come to the sect to acknowledge my ancestors."”
The host said," Alright, I'll bring you to the inner Shaolin Temple now. If Master and Martial Uncle know that you're here, they'll definitely be very happy."”
The abbot asked the reception elder to leave first and took Zhu Siqi to the back mountain. The road to the back mountain was more difficult. Sometimes, they had to climb it by hand. There was a small monastery surrounded by trees on the back mountainside. Although it was not very eye-catching, it was the real essence of Shaolin Temple--the location of Inner Shaolin Temple.
When he entered the courtyard, he saw many Shaolin disciples practicing boxing. Zhu Siqi could tell that they were practicing the Acquired Arhat Fist at a glance. After passing through the courtyard, he came to the main hall. He walked to the side and there were several rows of rooms at the back. When he came to the last row of rooms, the abbot walked to a single room and bowed outside. Then, he said respectfully,
"Disciple Yuan Fa greets Master."
An old man's voice came from inside.""Yuan Fa, why are you here instead of working outside? Come in.”
"Yes, Master!"
Yuan Fa then pushed open the door with Zhu Siqi and walked in.
He saw an old monk sitting in the meditation room. He couldn't tell how old he was, but he was about the same age as his master. However, his master said that his senior brother was more than ten years older than him, and that Liaofan was more than seventy years old. That meant that this old monk was nearly ninety years old. Zhu Siqi was secretly surprised.
Liao Ru opened her eyes and saw Yuan Fa bringing a stranger in. She looked at Yuan Fa.
Yuan Fa hurriedly said," Master, your disciple has a joyous occasion to tell you today. This person is Second Martial Uncle's disciple. He's here today to acknowledge his master."”
When Liaoru heard Yuan Fa say this, she quickly looked at Zhu Siqi." So you're Second Junior Brother's disciple. How's your master doing? Why isn't he here? Is he afraid that master will punish him?" Liao Ru recalled that in the past, when Liao Fan was caught stealing food, he would usually be punished by copying scriptures or reflecting on his mistakes.
Zhu Siqi: " Master has gone traveling. He asked me to come to the sect to pay my respects to Grandmaster and the two Martial Uncles.”
" Your master is very active. It was the same when he was in Shaolin. He disappeared after he finished practicing Kung Fu. Alright, let's not talk about him anymore. What's your name?"”
"Disciple Zhu Siqi has been under Master for twelve years.”
"It's rare that second junior brother can persist for twelve years to teach disciples. It seems that your talent should be very good. Otherwise, second junior brother wouldn't have put in so much effort.”
"Disciple is stupid and can't learn Master's skills."
"Don't be modest. I can feel your true qi is thick and dense, so your martial arts should be pretty good.”
I dare not. Oh right, Master also asked me to bring two books for Grandmaster and the two uncles." After saying that, he took out the two books written by Fan from his travel bag.
Liaoru took a look. One of them had the words " Innate Arhat Fist " written on it, and the other had the words " Dharma Sword Technique " written on it. He flipped through it and saw that there were pictures inside. Knowing that they were the true essence of Shaolin, he immediately said to Yuan Fa,
"Go and invite your Third Martial Uncle over. Ask him to come and take a look at these two books. He's a natural martial arts fanatic. It would be strange if he didn't jump up when he saw these two books."
When Yuan Fa heard his master's order, he immediately went out to invite his third martial uncle.
Not long after, Liaoping came over as well. The moment he entered, he laughed loudly." Where is Second Senior Brother's disciple? Let me take a look."
Zhu Siqi only saw an old monk enter. He was not tall, but his muscles were very strong. His eyes were bright. When he saw Zhu Siqi, he immediately said," Not bad. His internal energy is very deep, not much worse than mine. I wonder how Second Senior Brother taught him to have such a good disciple."
What he didn't know was that Zhu Siqi's Yiyuan Skill could be practiced automatically whether he was sleeping or walking, but he had to meditate to practice the Yiyuan Skill. In this case, Zhu Siqi practiced 24 hours a day, so his progress was much faster than that of ordinary people. He had practiced for 12 years, but others had to practice for about 40 to 50 years to catch up. It would be strange if he wasn't profound.
When Liaoping saw the two books in his hands, he grabbed them and took a look. They were authentic lost Shaolin techniques. He immediately jumped up. Good, good. Shaolin techniques had appeared again. He did not care about others and sat at the side to read. When he was basically done, the more he thought about it, the less satisfied he was. He wanted to go and see it immediately.
Seeing that there was someone in front of him who had just practiced, he immediately stood up. He did not care if he was still talking to Zhu Siqi. He held his hand and said,
"Let's go outside and try it out first to see how your martial arts are.”She did not care about what he thought and pulled Zhu Siqi to the open space outside.
