This wasn't difficult to do. On the way to Mount Song with Li Mochou, Xiao Baiye spent a lot of money to find a group of extras to make a cameo.
The extras were all dressed up as servants. There were servants, sedan bearers, butlers, and maids. Although they were acting as servants, they were all dressed in fine silk.
Even the extras who played the servant girls had brought many beautiful accessories. It did not look luxurious, but it was very imposing. At first glance, one would subconsciously think that this was a servant from an official family, a noble family, or a noble family.
Among the servants, there were eight sedan bearers carrying a luxurious sedan chair. The top of the carriage was carved with exquisite patterns, and it looked expensive. The curtains were even inlaid with gold and silver threads and decorated with jade. The most prominent characteristic was that he was rich! Rich! Thief. Mom is rich!
Outside the temple, the monk who was in charge of welcoming the guests saw this and immediately revealed a harmonious smile as he went forward to welcome them.
In his heart, he was secretly surprised and wondered who was sitting in the sedan chair. For such a wealthy guest, the incense money must not be small.
The proud son stopped, and Xiao Baiye, dressed in a brocade robe and elegant fan, stepped down.
Li Mochou, who was acting as a maid, was as beautiful as a fairy. She stood quietly beside him with a cattail leaf fan in hand.
"Esteemed guest, why have you come from afar?”The reception monk was all smiles, and he felt relieved. It seemed that this young master was not from a royal family, but from an official family. How could such a person be neglected?
"Master, my mother has been sincere in worshipping Buddha since she was young. Her greatest wish in her life is to read the Buddhist scriptures of your temple, recite scriptures and pray to Buddha every day, and be devout…!”Xiao Baiye put out 100 points of acting skills and said very familiarly.
On the way here, he had written down several strategies in detail. This included what to say and what to do when they saw the monks in Shaolin Temple.
When the reception monk heard Xiao Baiye mention that his mother believed in Buddhism, he was naturally overjoyed. He hurriedly put his palms together and bowed,""I see. It seems that Young Master's mother is fated with Buddha.”
"That's right! My mother believes in Buddhism, but she is old and can't bear the fatigue of traveling. As a son, how can I not fulfill the principle of filial piety?”Xiao Baiye continued his acting.
Li Mochou held back his laughter and looked around to distract himself from laughing.
The reception monk didn't notice Li Mochou's expression. This time, he was completely moved by Xiao Baiye's acting skills. He was very touched and said,""Young Master is sincere and filial. Then what is the reason for Young Master to come to our temple? If our temple can help in any way, we will definitely not hesitate to teach you.”
"This time, I traveled thousands of miles to your precious temple in the hope that your temple would allow me to copy a few scriptures and bring them home to worship the Buddhist platform. I burn incense every day to show my filial piety.”Xiao Baiye revealed his ultimate goal without leaving a trace.
The reception monk didn't notice anything and said,""Amitabha, Young Master's filial piety is commendable!”At this point, the reception monk paused."But this matter is up to me. I need to report it to the abbot of the temple. I hope Young Master won't blame me."”
"This is an important place for Buddhism. How can I blame you?”Xiao Baiye's face was full of righteousness. After saying this, he took out a stack of gold notes and handed it to the reception monk. "This is just a small token of my appreciation. It's money for incense and candles.”
The receptionist monk took the gold note from Xiao Baiye and looked down. He immediately cupped his hands and bowed deeply.
Alright! It was a full three thousand gold taels. With such a huge amount, and Xiao Baiye had also said that it was a tribute to Buddha, how could the reception monk dare to refuse?
One had to know that the Shaolin Monastery had a huge business, unlike those small sects. The daily expenses were huge, and he was responsible for providing for thousands of martial monks.
If he had rejected the money offered by each of the pilgrims, the vast Shaolin Temple would have long since gone to the northwest.
"Young Master, you are so kind. This Penniless Monk is extremely grateful. Please! Young Master, please follow me into the temple to serve tea." The reception monk was filled with respect. Judging from the gold notes that Xiao Baiye had taken out, he had already confirmed his noble status, so he did not dare to show any disrespect.
However, in fact, the three thousand taels of gold was earned by Xiao Baiye by selling some glassware, lighters, and crystal balls.
…Originally,
the scriptures in the Gold Collection Pavilion were not allowed to be read by outsiders. However, Xiao Baiye gave her too much money and said that he had admired Buddhism for a long time and wanted to copy books for her mother.
Under such circumstances, he naturally did not encounter many obstacles and easily entered the Sutra Depository.
However, Xiao Baiye had only entered the first floor of the Sutras Depository. Most of the buildings on the first floor were Buddhist scriptures, but there were no martial arts manuals.
Of course, Xiao Baiye was not interested in the 72 ultimate skills of Shaolin Temple. He only had one goal, and that was the Nine Yang Divine Skill.
It was worth mentioning that after arriving at the Sutra Depository, Xiao Baiye bumped into the young monk Jue Yuan, who was reading Buddhist scriptures. In the original novel, the monk practiced the Nine Yang Divine Skill as if it was an ordinary internal skill, guarding the treasure mountain without realizing it. In the decades that followed, he was lucky enough to take in Zhang Junbao and Guo Xiang as his disciples. One of them founded the Wudang Sect, and the other founded Emei.
However, Jue Yuan was only a novice monk now. He had not even discovered the Nine Yang Divine Technique in the Lankaya Sutra in time.
There were many books in the Sutra Depository. Xiao Baiye flipped through several rows of bookshelves, but he could not find the legendary Lankaya Sutra.
At that moment, Xiao Baiye glanced sideways at Jue Yuan and asked,""Little monk, where did you put the Lankaya Sutra?”
"Patron, the 'Lankaya Sutra' is in the third row of bookshelves on the left and the middle shelf on the sixth row of bookshelves on the right.”Jue Yuan replied without raising his head.
Xiao Baiye walked toward the place that Jue Yuan pointed at. As expected, he found four scriptures with the Lankaya Sutra on the bookshelf that Jue Yuan had mentioned.
In fact, the full name of the "Langha Sutra" was the "Langha Abaratara Treasure Sutra", also known as "Entering the Langha Sutra" and "Entering the Mahayana into the Langha Sutra". Its translation came from the 20th year of Yuanjia of Song Dynasty (443 years), the Bodhi Liuzhi of Northern Wei Dynasty, and the monk of Khotan (now Hetian, Xinjiang) in Tang Dynasty. They are translated into four volumes, ten volumes, and seven volumes. Because the translation of Qunabhadra was the earliest, it was closer to the original meaning of the sutra, so it spread widely and had a great influence.
Therefore, the Shaolin Sutra Depository only had the four volumes translated by Qunabhadra, while the Nine Yang Divine Skill was hidden by the Wine God Monk in the gaps between the four volumes of the Lengguan Sutra.
After finding the Lankaya Sutra, Xiao Baiye looked around. Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, he immediately picked up the first book and flipped through it.
He searched through the gaps of the Lankaya Sutra, and as expected, he found a scroll of Nine Yang Divine Skill (Internal Strength). After obtaining the first chapter of Nine Yang Divine Skill, Xiao Baiye hurriedly picked up the other three books and flipped through them.
