Vol V Chapter 49
Just as everyone was lamenting Patriarch Bodhidharma's perseverance…
In the sky.
The golden light gathered once again, and the scene appeared again.
Bodhidharma had already arrived at Shaolin Temple.
At this time, the abbot of Shaolin Temple was already too old and was about to pass away.
He called Bodhidharma to the bedside. The abbot looked at him and said,""Your Buddhist Dharma has already surpassed everyone else. Therefore, I hope that…you can lead the Shaolin Temple to a higher position!”
Bodhidharma chanted sutras for the abbot for three days and three nights. He took over the kasaya and the monk staff and officially became the abbot of Shaolin Temple.
He understood that if the Shaolin Temple of Mount Song wanted to go further and higher, it was impossible to rely solely on Buddhist cultivation.
Because not everyone had his perseverance, if he wanted to make the Shaolin Temple famous, he had to start with martial arts.
From then on, he went down the mountain to travel the Jianghu and collected the moves of various sects. After returning to Shaolin Temple, he began to gain experience and create a set of unique skills belonging to Shaolin.
Bodhidharma began to work endlessly again. He thought about it day and night. Through the combination of his internal strength at the Great Grandmaster Realm, he finally had a secret manual synthesized from 72 sets of cultivation techniques.
This was also known as the Shaolin Seventy-Two Ultimate Skills!》
This secret manual included fist techniques, palm techniques, finger techniques, claw techniques, and even sword techniques, staff techniques, and so on…
Under the supervision of Bodhidharma, the martial arts of all the disciples improved day by day.
At this point.
The status of the entire Shaolin Temple also rose with his all-encompassing cultivation technique, becoming the number one sect in the martial arts world.
……
On the land of the Summer State.
People watched the Shaolin Monastery's decline and then the glory led by Patriarch Bodhidharma, and they all sighed with emotion.
"Patriarch Bodhidharma is truly the Shaolin Temple's benefactor. He has made such a great contribution!”
"The martial arts of the world come from Shaolin Temple. This sentence is really well-deserved. All the martial arts sects in the martial world are derived from Shaolin Temple. Therefore, in the end, Patriarch Bodhidharma is our ancestor!”
"The Shaolin Temple has become the largest sect, which means that the abbot's decision to entrust the Shaolin Temple to Bodhidharma was the right choice.”
……
In the sky.
The scene continued.
Patriarch Bodhidharma stood in the courtyard, watching his disciples practice.
A satisfied smile appeared on his face.
Then, he turned around and walked towards the back of the mountain.
"Abbot, where are you going?"
Someone asked from behind. Bodhidharma said softly,""Amitabha, I've already finished my work!”
All the disciples stopped to look at Bodhidharma, but Bodhidharma didn't stop. He kept walking towards the depths of the back mountain.
A few months later, in order to prevent the world from panicking, the Shaolin Temple on Mount Song released the news that Abbot Bodhidharma had passed away.
The people in the martial world could not help but sigh. Patriarch Bodhidharma, a grandmaster of his generation, had passed away just like that!
At this point, the Heaven's Declaration ended.
Lines of words appeared on the golden scroll.
Patriarch Bodhidharma, the fifth on the Heaven's Declaration, was now in the state of Oneness of Heaven and Man!
Patriarch Bodhidharma has been a Buddha all his life. His heart of Buddha is like the sea, and his martial arts cultivation has reached the peak. This is a special reward. A golden praying mat. With this praying mat, one can cultivate the Buddhist Dharma, stabilize one's realm, and deepen one's Buddhist heart!
The people of the Summer State were fascinated.
"I didn't expect Patriarch Bodhidharma to still be alive!”
"Most importantly, Patriarch Bodhidharma left Shaolin Temple after he matured. He did not admire fame or the flattery of the world.”
"The Golden Light Praying Mat, the Heaven's Declaration's reward, seems to have seen through your heart. I don't know how magical this reward is. I just hope that Patriarch Bodhidharma will be well no matter where he is in the future!”
Everyone began to pray for Patriarch Bodhidharma.
In the hearts of the people in the Summer State, especially those in the martial arts world.
All of them had already silently proclaimed that Patriarch Bodhidharma had become the Patriarch in their hearts.
……
Qixia Town, at the entrance of Tongfu Inn.
Xu Qingyun also softly murmured Namo Amitabha to bless Patriarch Bodhidharma.
Bai Zhantang and the others also put their palms together and sat quietly at the dining table, praying to Patriarch Bodhidharma on the Heaven's Declaration.
……
On the land of the Summer State.
It was as if, in the small temple far away in the sky.
Patriarch Bodhidharma sat cross-legged on the ground. Beneath him was a golden futon.
After reciting the scriptures a few times, he slowly opened his eyes.
"The golden light hassock is truly amazing.”
"Heaven's Will reward from the Heaven's Declaration. I, Bodhidharma, have been devoted to Buddhism all my life. Thank you for giving me such a valuable reward!”
……
Within the Great Qin Empire.
The First Emperor, Ying Zheng, also walked down from his throne.
They arrived at the courtyard outside the palace.
Yueshen, Zhao Gao, Li Si, and the rest of his subordinates followed behind him.
Looking at the sky, Ying Zheng said in a daze,""Patriarch Bodhidharma's state of mind…I'm afraid I'll never be able to achieve it in this lifetime!”
Li Si came to the side and bowed." Your Majesty's thoughts have already surpassed everyone else. However, we have different mindsets for such an extraordinary person. There's no need to force him!”
Ying Zheng shook his head and said," I've been fighting all my life just for the sake of peace in the world. I'm afraid that sometimes, my thoughts and his are the same. But if I'm given an environment, hehe…I won't be able to do what he did!”
Yueshen walked out and said," Your Majesty, the Heaven's Ranking is already ranked fifth. There are only a few masters left. These few…I'm afraid each of them can satisfy your inner desires…"
Hearing this, Ying Zheng's eyes lit up.
"There are only four people left on the Heaven's Proclamation, but I want to see who the number one is. If we can recruit him, Great Qin will be able to regain its former glory and unify the Summer State!”
"Li Qing, send more men to investigate the entire Summer Prefecture. I must get the latest information, and I must get the person ranked at the top to come before me as soon as possible!”
Li Si hurriedly knelt down.
"I wish Your Majesty a grand plan and unify the Summer State!" Zhao Gao said sharply.”
The group of people behind him knelt on the ground and responded.
……
Within the Tang Empire.
Li Shiming and Yuan Tiangang were both sitting in a temple. At the top, a Buddha statue was staring at them.
Surrounded by incense, the two of them recited scriptures silently.
After a few breaths, Li Shi Min stood up.
Yuan Tiangang hurriedly followed him out of the temple.
"Your Majesty, did you sense anything at that moment?”
Li Shiming walked down the stairs and looked at Yuan Tiangang with a smile,""Yuan shi, my state of mind is too chaotic. I don't have Patriarch Bodhidharma's state of mind, so I haven't comprehended anything yet!”
" Patriarch Bodhidharma," Yuan Tiangang said." Just reciting the scriptures and facing the wall has already reached the perfected Zongshi realm. That state of mind is not something ordinary people like me can achieve!”
Li Shiming looked up at the sky and said," Master Yuan, it's already the fifth person. Is there really no one in the Great Tang who can enter the Heaven's Declaration?"”
Yuan Tiangang shook his head with a bitter smile and said,"Everything depends on the Heaven's Declaration!”
