There will always be a time when the sun will set. Night has finally arrived. The long night is actually nothing special. The long night is my world of essays.

"Sigh, I'm exhausted after resting here for a day.”The depressed me muttered to myself.

At this moment, I am in the forbidden area of Shaolin Temple's Sutra Depository.

Although my kung fu isn't high, I've seen others practice it before. However, it's different for Qinggong. When I was five years old, I stole a cucumber from someone. That big man chased after me for five miles, but he couldn't catch up. You have to know that that person was six feet tall and thirty feet wide. He was taller than me even horizontally.

But later on, I found out that the big man was already 67 years old. I felt proud in my heart. Think about it, that man was already 67 years old and still couldn't catch up to me when I was five years old. If I were to wait until I was 67 years old, would there still be anyone in the world who could catch up?

I'm already fifteen years old. I haven't learned anything else in the past ten years except Qinggong. Flying on roofs and running on walls, I am still better than myself; Above the river, he crossed the river on a reed…even though it was winter.

As long as I dare to enter the forbidden areas of the big sects, I can do it. Hehe, but it's still in practice, because today is the first time…

My martial arts skills aren't very good. My master said that he would only teach me Qinggong to escape, and he couldn't teach me Yan Qinggu's martial arts. However, he couldn't stand my pestering and pestering, so he let me wander around alone for a few days.

As the saying goes, all the martial arts in the world come from Shaolin Temple. I think this Shaolin Temple should be the place where all the martial arts classics in the world are gathered. As someone who likes "classics", I naturally can't miss it.

I looked at the small room where the moonlight shone, embellishing the mystery of the martial arts world. The night was quiet, and everyone was asleep. It was quiet and peaceful. The light transformed into countless Buddhas. The world was cold and boundless. The ghostly me was eating the cucumber head that I carried with me behind a golden statue. After eating, I slowly stood up, took off my clothes, and boiled the golden wine that I personally brewed!

The golden body of the Buddha reflected my Amitabha Buddha. At this moment, I had already calmed down a little. I took out a book that I had casually grabbed when I came in and flipped through it. Some strange pictures entered my eyes. Those who didn't know better would think that they were pictures of animals. As I flipped through them, I saw a few lines of yellowed words."This merit must not be abused. It should be used to convince people with virtue.”

Closing the book, the words 'Dragon Claw Hand' were plastered on the surface of my skin. Thinking about the sentence in the book just now, I really didn't understand. What was the use of practicing martial arts like this?

I was absent-minded. I had heard my master mention before that the most powerful skill in Shaolin Temple was not these seventy-two ultimate skills, but a world's wondrous book called Muscle-bone Strengthening Scripture. I heard that after mastering this book, one could trade one's bones, muscles, and meridians with others. I had been plotting for a long time and had long wanted to borrow it.

I sneaked out and looked at the dark night outside the window. The light wind slowly blew my hair.

The interior of the pavilion was strictly decorated, simple and elegant. There was nothing special about it. It was just an ordinary temple decoration. I tiptoed and placed the Dragon Claw back to its original position, slowly rummaging through the Sutra Depository.

After searching for a long time, I could only see some scriptures like the Great Diamond Sutra and the Calming Mantra. I couldn't find any icons for the classification of meridians. I had no choice but to return to the back of the golden statue and lean against it. After a long day, I would take a nap first. I would stay here for a few days. I would eat, drink, and pee in this Sutra Depository. I didn't believe that I couldn't find the Tendon Changing Classic.

He stroked the fellow in his arms for self-defense and leisurely leaned against the Buddha statue to sleep. He muttered," The river flows eastward. The stars in the sky are sparkling. The sky is full of little stars…"

Smelling the smell of the scriptures, I fell asleep in this forbidden area of the martial arts world. I snored and played leisurely in my dreams.

After a long time, he said," Little benefactor, little benefactor, wake up. The Scripture Depository is not an inn. You can't sleep."”

I opened my eyes in a daze and looked at the little monk who looked like a big-headed son. Then, I reached into my pocket and felt for a while. I threw two coins over and said in a daze,"I've given you money. Let me sleep for a while more.”

After I finished speaking, I turned over and continued to sleep.

"Little benefactor, quickly come out. If Martial Uncle Zhi Yin sees you here, you'll be finished.”The small monk beside me shook me awake again and said kindly.

I suddenly sat up with my head clear. I suddenly remembered that I was in the Sutra Library of Shaolin Temple. I saw the little monk beside me. Oh my god, I almost screamed.

The small monk looked at my surprised eyes and remembered that he was here to clean the Sutra Library. He asked in confusion,"Little benefactor, are you a thief?"

I saw that this little monk was simple-minded and was about the same age as me. He was also a person who had seen some of the world. Only then did I calm down and say enigmatically,"Although I am a thief, I hope that there are no thieves in the world!”

"Ah!" The small monk was surprised. He nodded and praised,"Amitabha. It's rare for little benefactor to have such ambitions. I wish little benefactor to realize his dreams as soon as possible.”

Seeing that the little monk was really cute, I no longer worried. I smiled evilly and said,"Little Master, how old are you this year? I can bring you some gifts when I come to your Shaolin Temple to steal things another day.”

The small monk blushed and scratched his head. He smiled like a child and said,"This little monk is fifteen this year. Monks have a pure heart and few desires. Those who come are guests, but don't bring me any gifts.”

I was also embarrassed by his naivety. I scratched the back of my head and smiled."Alright, I'll definitely inform you the next time I come to steal something.”

"Yes, thank you, benefactor. You came here to steal today, but I didn't see any turmoil in the pavilion. What exactly are you stealing?”The small monk said gratefully.

I didn't hide anything and said generously,"I'm here to steal Tendon Changing Classic.”

"Ah! Little benefactor is actually here to steal Muscle-bone Strengthening Scripture?”The small monk was surprised when he heard that. He even looked at me with a hint of uneasiness and fear.

I felt that there was no need to hide it, so I smiled and said,"Yeah, I've been in this line of work for many years, and I've never missed a chance.”

"Ah!" The small monk screamed and panicked. His face was pale like a frightened deer as he hurriedly pushed me away.

I didn't understand what the small monk was doing, but seeing how childish and cute he was, I couldn't bear to lose my temper with him. He knocked on the wall behind me three times, and the Buddha statue in front of him moved away automatically. A rectangular box appeared under the Buddha statue. The small monk hurriedly took out the box, then took out a book and opened it. He rubbed his chest and let out a long sigh of relief. He said,"Fortunately, I didn't lose it. Otherwise, when Martial Uncle finds out, he will definitely punish me to face the wall.”

My eyes were filled with confusion, surprise, and surprise. In the end, I lost my temper. This little monk was too…innocent!

That book was the " Muscle-bone Strengthening Scripture ". Unexpectedly, after searching for it for so long, he found it without any effort. This person was really too coincidental!

I didn't care anymore. I snatched the Tendon Changing Classic and smiled at the small monk."Little master, thank you. It's better for you to face the wall for a few days than for me to lose my credibility. I'll make it up to you in three years!”

After I finished speaking, I didn't wait for the small monk to react before I flew over and used Traceless Snow Step to rush towards the window.

As soon as I stepped out of the window, I saw someone running towards me. It seems that the Sutra Library is indeed tightly guarded. If it wasn't for my extraordinary lightness skill, I would have probably stayed here forever. Not only would my daydream be ruined, but I might also have no chance of being with beautiful women in this life…

Many monks rushed towards me with torches in their hands. I was naturally embarrassed. I haven't even died yet, and there are already so many people coming to respect me. How can I endure this?

Looking at the fire in the courtyard, he knew that other than flying away, he could only fight fiercely. He did not hesitate and took out the dagger he carried with him. He weighed it in his hand and slowly said,"Fortunately, it didn't rust. There are so many monks waiting for me to cut my hair. I can't let them down.”

A white-bearded old monk led a group of people forward. His footsteps were light, and his Lightness Skill was definitely not bad. His face was as red as a child's, so he must still be a child. Shaolin really lived up to its reputation. He was already in his sixties, but he was still so healthy.

Looking at the old monk leading the group, my heart trembled. I couldn't help but sigh loudly,"Wow, I didn't expect our hair colors to be so similar!”

The old monk in the lead had a face that had been through many hardships. His two deep-set eyes were deep and bright, and he looked kind. Because of those gentle eyes, I always felt that they were shining with kindness. Everyone else was holding a stick in their hands, but he was holding a Buddhist staff. He must be the abbot of Shaolin Temple.

"Benefactor," he said,"I wonder why you sneaked into our temple in the middle of the night."”

Although I was depressed and nervous in my heart, because this Shaolin abbot looked really charming…I really felt uncomfortable looking at him, but I pretended to be cool and forced myself to say,"I just stole two cucumbers from your kitchen to satisfy my craving, drank a few mouthfuls of wine in one of your rooms, slept in your Sutra Library, and even peed. Old grandpa, I'm telling the truth.”

The old monk was calm and didn't show any signs of anger. However, an old monk beside him stomped his feet in anger. He was so angry that his beard stood straight. I thought he was going to blame me for insulting the Shaolin forbidden land, but he flew into a rage and said,"What grandfather? My senior brother is still a boy. Where did this country boy come from? How dare he insult the reputation of Shaolin Temple!”

I smiled wickedly, my signature gangster aura lingering in front of me. I slowly said,"Then I'm sorry, I'll take my leave now. I'll come back when I'm free, remember to treat me to tea. Two old comrades, farewell, I wish you good waist, good legs, and good spirit!”

The abbot of Shaolin Temple was originally calm and relaxed, but when he saw the scriptures in my arms, his eyes were filled with surprise. He then said in a compassionate tone,"Patron, please put down the scripture in your arms. We monks won't make things difficult for you.”
