Chapter 422 [Shaolin Trip] (1

"Hmph, bring me here and it works." Xiao Yuruo curled his lips to Xu Lang proudly and hurriedly walked upwards.

The towering Songshan Mountains and Shaolin Mountains, as the steps moved, Xu Lang and Xiao Yuruo's expressions became solemn and solemn, and they actually had a pilgrimage mentality, because this was the ancestral courtyard of the Han Buddhist religion.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Three Kingdoms were divided into the Three Kingdoms, and the Mahayana Buddha was introduced to the ancient Chinese kingdom. "Chi" was the Vehicle, Hinayana Buddha. The teachings talked about self-liberation, and Mahayana Buddha. The teachings talked about saving sentient beings. In addition to the differences in purpose, the Mahayana Buddhism was also relatively simple in terms of practice. With the introduction of Mahayana Buddhist scriptures, the influence of Buddha began to spread to the people. During the Three Kingdoms period, the Huaxia Buddha was brought out from the Central Plains of China. The first Han monk in the history of Buddhism to formally take precepts and become monks, which means that the Buddha and religion officially began to take root on the land of China.

Shaolin Temple, also known as the Monk Temple, is known as the "Zen ancestral temple, the world's number one temple". It is the ancestral temple of the Chinese Buddhist teachings in the Han Dynasty. It was built in 495 (the 19th year of Taihe in the Northern Wei Dynasty). 32 years later, the famous monk Bodhidharma came to Shaolin Temple to teach Zen, and ordered Shaoshi Mountain to set up a temple for the Buddha to provide food and clothing. Since then, the temple gradually expanded, and the number of monks increased day by day, and Shaolin Temple has become famous. Bodhidharma is called the Chinese Buddha. The first ancestor of Zen Buddhism, and Shaolin Temple is called the ancestral temple of Zen Buddhism.

Zen was born in Yindu. It was first taught by Shakyamuni Buddha, and Bodhidharma was the 28th ancestor of the Buddha's Dharma. After being introduced to the ancient Chinese Kingdom, it became the Chinese Buddha. The mainstream sect with continuous teachings was called Zen, and later generations called the Patriarch Bodhidharma, also known as the first ancestor of the East Land. One of the important reasons why Zen has been passed down for a long time is its simplicity and easy practice of its doctrine and practice methods.

Bodhidharma proposed a new method of meditation, which negated the saving of Buddha. He taught that ladder level of practice and practice in the past lifetimes, and advocated that everyone has the Buddha nature, that is, the "nature", and everyone has the wisdom of becoming a Buddha in heaven and earth, that is, "Bodhi", and everyone can become a Buddha by enlightening the Buddha nature, although it is difficult to predict when it suddenly becomes enlightened. The reason why sentient beings fail to become Buddhas is because they have not realized their own nature. Once they "clear the fog and see the blue sky", they understand their minds and see their nature, and their own nature is Buddha, turning Buddha into ordinary people who are common to them.

These are some of Xu Lang’s simple understanding of the Chinese Buddhist teachings.

Xu Lang and Xiao Yuruo held hands and walked in.

However, Xiao Yuruo suddenly seemed to remember something. After all, this is a Buddhist holy land, so it is better not to kiss me, so as not to anger the Buddha. Thinking of this, I hurriedly broke away from Xu Lang's big hand.

This made Xu Lang laugh, but he didn't say much.

As soon as you enter the mountain gate, you will see Maitreya Buddha offering it to the Buddha niche with a big belly and a smile, and you will always be called "Big Belly Buddha" and "Everyone is happy". Behind the shrine is a wooden statue of Wei Tuo, with a magic stick in his hand. It is the guardian god of Shaolin Temple. After passing the mountain gate, there is a corridor with steles and stones on both sides, so it is called the Stele Forest. The Chupu Hall is on the west side of the Stele Forest in the mountain gate, with clay sculptures and wood sculptures inside.

After passing through the corridor and passing through the stele forest is the Heavenly King Hall, three double-eaved hip-topped halls, two large Vajras outside, and four statues of the Heavenly Kings inside, which are majestic and majestic.

After passing through the Heavenly King Hall, there is the Great Hall behind it. The statues of Sakyamuni, Amitabha Buddha, and Medicine Buddha are enshrined in the hall. The statues of Guanyin are hung behind the screen wall, and eighteen Arhats stand on both sides. Behind the Great Hall, there is a Sutra Pavilion. The southeast of the Sutra Pavilion is the Zen Room, which is the place where monks meditate. The Western Zen Room opposite is the hall responsible for receiving guests.

This is what the old monk just mentioned, and it is divided into two sections: the north and south. The southern section is the male guest house and the northern section is the female guest house.

Although Xu Lang and Xiao Yuruo are husband and wife, they naturally cannot be as free as staying in a big hotel when they come to a place like Shaolin Temple. Besides, even if they live in a big hotel, Xiao Yuruo may not be willing to live in the same room with Xu Lang.

"This male donor, please rest in the room of C in the southern section, and this female Bodhisattva, please rest in the room of B in the northern section. I advise you that this is a Buddhist holy place and you should not walk around at will. If you have any needs, please go to the third room on the left side of the Zen room opposite to summon me, Amitabha," the old monk said and turned around and left.

To be honest, Xu Lang was indeed a little worried. He no longer trusted Shaolin Temple as before. Just before entering the temple, something strange happened, and it is hard to guarantee that something unpredictable will happen again.

However, this place is Shaolin Temple after all, and Xu Lang dared not act recklessly, so he had to follow the old monk's arrangements. After watching Xiao Yuruo walk into her room, he also walked into the room arranged by the old monk.

After entering the room, it was antique and brightly lit, but there were also electric lights in modern civilization.

Of course, there are no such things as TV and computers.

Xu Lang lay down on the clean and hygienic bed and felt surprisingly calm. Somehow, it was hard to be calm in such a place.

After calming down, Xu Lang thought about what happened yesterday and today, especially the strange thing that happened in front of the temple gate today. After thinking about it, there was no definite answer. I don’t know if the other party intends to test it or to punish him and Xiao Yuruo.

Although Xu Lang's mood was calm, his concern for Xiao Yuruo did not decrease at all. Xu Lang was really worried about this kind of place where anything could happen, so he quietly took a walk and went straight to Xiao Yuruo's room.

In case the old monk heard this, Xu Lang tiptoed open Xiao Yuruo's window and turned over, but was suddenly hit on the back of the head with a wooden stick, "Who is it?"

"Shhh...wife, it's me..."

Xu Lang said hurriedly.

After hearing Xu Lang's voice, Xiao Yuruo felt relieved. In fact, she didn't dare to sleep at all, and was very worried. Then she found a wooden stick and stared at the door and window without blinking. Until she saw a black shadow, she couldn't help but pick up the wooden stick and walked over, but it was Xu Lang.

"Why are you here? Go out quickly. What should I do if the old monk finds out?" Xiao Yuruo said carefully.

"Shh, my wife is fine, come on, let's sleep together, otherwise I wouldn't feel at ease." Xu Lang pulled Xiao Yuruo to the edge of the bed.

Xiao Yuruo hesitated for a long time and finally agreed, "Xu Lang, you can sleep together, but you can't move randomly!"

"Wife, where have you thought of it? Am I that kind of person?" Xu Lang said helplessly.

"You are not allowed to think randomly!" Xiao Yuruo actually added.

Xu Lang was really helpless.

Perhaps, the two of them never dreamed that the second time they shared a bed with their young couple was amazingly in the house of Shaolin Temple.

Of course, this place is a Buddhist holy land after all, and Xu Lang is also worried, so he naturally does not act randomly and does not have random thoughts.

Holding her little petite wife, she fell asleep quickly. Listening to her gentle and polite breathing, Xu Lang smiled.

Wife, sleep with peace of mind, I am your patron saint, Xu Lang said in his heart.

Until dawn, Xu Lang did not close his eyes and protected Xiao Yuruo to fall asleep peacefully.

It was not until the morning when she was awakened by the sound of chanting like flies that Xiao Yuruo slowly woke up. Seeing the red blood in Xu Lang's eyes, Xiao Yuruo couldn't help but be stunned and said, "You haven't slept last night?"

"No, I'm sleeping, I'm sleeping well." Xu Lang hurriedly defended, "Let's go, while the old monk didn't notice us, we quickly look around and see where Master Lechen is."

Xu Lang said, then walked out, but at this moment, Xiao Yuruo suddenly stepped forward from behind, hugged Xu Lang, and shouted in love: "Husband!"

Xu Lang's body trembled suddenly, and he smiled happily and satisfiedly, gently holding Xiao Yuruo's little hand, "Wife, this time, I'm not calling you."

"Husband, in the future, you will never have to rush me. I will call you husband, husband, husband..." Xiao Yuruo shouted with a smile.

"Ah, really, my wife, it's so great." Xu Lang said excitedly.

However, Xiao Yuruo's next words almost made Xu Lang cry.

"But, it's only for calling when there is no one."

"Ah? No?" Xu Lang said helplessly.

"Okay, husband." Xiao Yuruo pouted her mouth, acted coquettishly, and shook Xu Lang's arm.

Xu Lang naturally could only say it was OK.
