Chapter 218 Write a diary?
The life of the monks is extremely boring, and the diet is light and watery, with vegetables and tofu.
Originally Buddhist edible meat was tabooed from the "five spices", such as onions, leeks, scallions, coriander (coriander) and so on.
Eating these things will have a strong smell and seriously affect the cultivation of others. Due to the needs of the cultivation environment, eating them is not allowed.
Later, Buddhism flourished and spread from the Western Regions to Zhongzhou, and it was changed to eat three kinds of pure meat.
The so-called three clean meats are:
There was no killing in sight, neither seeing the miserable scene of animals dying with their own eyes.
He does not hear the sound of killing, nor does he hear the sound of animals being killed.
Don't kill for yourself, neither kill for your own desire to eat.
But now, Zhongzhou Buddhism, led by Shaolin Temple, has completely banned meat.
Lu Ming didn't eat meat or meat for three days, wishing he could sneak to the back mountain to get some game.
On the third day, the morning bell of the temple rang.
The voice of Hong Zhong Da Lu not only awakened the resting monks in the meditation room, but also dispersed the damp and cold fog that lingered on the mountain top.
Lu Ming got up rubbing his sleepy eyes, put on the gray robes that belonged to the little novice monk, and after washing up, he picked up the broom and went to the Great Hall of the Great Hero.
The vegetarian meal is not ready yet, Lu Ming has to clean the Daxiong Hall first.
The Daxiong Palace is cleaned before eating.
Lu Ming yawned and came to the back of the Buddha statue.
Separated by a screen, behind Tathagata Buddha is a statue of Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva.
Equally magnificent, Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva holds a jade bottle in his hand, and the screen wall behind him is different from the shape of the Buddha light of the Tathagata Buddha, but a huge wave.
After a little observation, it is not difficult to find that on each wave, there are different shapes of Arhats, Bodhisattvas, and Buddhas.
Lu Ming said in a low voice: "System, I will receive the reward in the Daxiong Palace."
"Ding Dong, congratulations to the host, you have successfully received the reward."
"What about the reward?"
"Ding Dong, answer the host, the Daxiong Palace is receiving rewards, and there are no more rewards to get."
"All right……"
Lu Ming was a little disappointed.
Unexpectedly, the most important and most solemn place in Shaolin Temple can only be rewarded once.
But this only reward is heavy enough!
"By the way, the Sutra Pavilion is as important as the Daxiong Palace. Tomorrow, continue to receive rewards from the Sutra Pavilion and try!"
The Daxiong Hall is important because it enshrines the World Honored One of Buddhism - Tathagata Buddha!
The importance of the Sutra Pavilion is due to the collection of more than 5000 volumes of Buddhist scriptures and many martial arts classics.
Buddha statues collapsed and destroyed, but they can also be recast and shaped.
But when the Buddhist scriptures were burned, they really disappeared.
In a practical sense, the Sutra Pavilion is even more important than the Main Hall, so the Sutra Pavilion is built behind the Main Hall.
To the left and right is the Zen room where monks of Shaolin Temple practice.
There are Dharma Hall and Arhat Hall nearby!
If there is any emergency, these monks and most of the monks in the whole temple can arrive at the first time and provide timely support.
It is absolutely impossible for martial arts people in the world to covet the advanced martial arts of Shaolin Temple and sneak into the Buddhist scripture pavilion to steal them.
If he really has the strength to sneak into the Sutra Pavilion, his cultivation level may not be lower than that of the abbot and chief seat of Shaolin Temple.
Only by sneaking in without many monks noticing.
On the fourth day, Lu Ming received his reward at the Sutra Pavilion, and got a copy of the practice method - the Sutra of Washing the Marrow and Changing Tendons!
That night, he did not return to his meditation room.
Lu Ming used the excuse of keeping watch at night to stay in the Sutra Pavilion, practice the Sutra of Washing Marrow and Changing Tendons, and swallowed the little pill from before.
Xiao Huan Dan melted in his mouth, and a gust of hot pure Qi flowed to the limbs along the meridians.
Lu Ming's eyes narrowed and he did not dare to neglect. He immediately ran the Marrow Cleansing and Tendon Changing Jing to refine the medicinal power of Xiao Huan Dan.
The Yi Jin Jing was handed down by Bodhidharma, the first ancestor of Zen Buddhism, and it is regarded as the supreme treasure by the rivers and lakes.
Washing the marrow and cutting the bones is only a small use.
The Yi Jin Jing can also allow practitioners to achieve pure yang, get rid of the mortal womb, and return to the innate.
After a night of hard work, Lu Ming refined the Xiaohuandan and successfully entered the room.
When running the marrow washing and tendon meridian, there is a subtle zhenqi flowing slowly in the body.
This is the symbol of Nine Ranks!
"I have entered the ninth rank!"
Lu Ming's eyebrows were filled with joy and his expression was in high spirits.
The world is so big that martial arts can reach the gods.
Whether it is a demon, a demon, a ghost, a monster, or a human, the strength is divided into nine ranks.
The ninth rank is the lowest, and the first rank is the highest.
But if you ask whether there is a realm above the first rank, of course there is.
A first-class breakthrough is extraordinary, and can be called a land fairy!
"In the past two days, I heard from the monks in the temple that if you want to enter the ninth rank, you need to refine the gas for at least a year and a half, which is still relatively qualified."
"I broke through to rank nine in just one night. If the abbot finds out, I'm afraid his jaw will drop in shock, and the heads of all the courtyards will regret it."
"No, we can't let them know!"
Lu Ming decided to keep it a secret and never let anyone know.
As for why he was able to enter the country overnight, apart from the merits of Xiao Huan Dan and Xi Sui Yi Jin Jing, I am afraid that Lu Ming's aptitude is not as bad as Jue Yuan said.
"Well, my body smells so bad, I'd better take a shower!"
Lu Ming picked up the monk's clothes and smelled it, almost fainting himself.
He hurried to the bathing place to wash off the dirt on his body after washing the marrow and cutting the bones.
Throughout the whole day, Lu Ming was refreshed, his feet were flying, and he was immersed in the joy of "entry".
Of course, Lu Ming did not forget to receive the reward.
He didn't continue to receive rewards at the Sutra Pavilion, but ran to Luohan Hall.
There were sounds of "Yi Ya" and "Ah Hoo" from Luohan Hall.
A group of novice monks who were about the same age as Lu Ming, wearing almond-colored monk robes, practiced Eighteen Arhats under the leadership of a 20-year-old monk.
Lu Ming stopped to watch, and saw that these people were fighting fiercely, with howling fists.
Sometimes they punch out their fists, like a fierce dragon crossing a river, sometimes they squat and sweep their legs, like the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves, sometimes they lean forward with their elbows, like a wild bull crouching its horns.
Especially the leading monk, his boxing skills are separated, forced, rushed, dodged, point, lift, press, hook, copy, throw, his steps change with his hands, his boxing skills are soaring, rolling, sweeping, and flicking, and his body is like a rudder.
Each move is a combination of hardness and softness, punching through the fists and feet, making the air crackle.
A series of moves are coherent and magnificent, with the power of eighteen arhats descending into the world.
It was obvious that Luo Han Fist had been perfected in his hands.
Lu Ming accidentally watched it fascinated.
The monk who was leading the training of Eighteen Arhat Fists immediately withdrew his fists, looked at Lu Ming, and sternly reprimanded: "What are you looking at, serving monks are not allowed to steal advanced martial arts!"
The Eighteenth Arhat Fist can be regarded as a very powerful boxing skill in Shaolin Temple.
How can a mere sweeping serving monk spy on him!
Those little monks who were about the same age as Lu Ming all looked over at the same time.
Their status is different from Lu Ming's, but the real disciples of Shaolin Temple are not handymen who sweep the floor and dust.
"Steal learning?"
Facing everyone's gaze, Lu Ming smiled contemptuously, and said silently in his heart: "System, I will receive the reward at Arhat Hall!"
……
"Ding Dong, congratulations to the host, the reward has been successfully received, and the reward [Subduing Dragon and Tiger Fist]!"
Lu Ming had a thought, he hadn't learned Subduing Dragon and Fuhu Fist yet, he didn't know who was better than Arhat Fist, so he left Arhat Hall.
"Subduing Dragon and Fuhu Fist, compared with Eighteen Arhat Fist, seems to lack sixteen variations, and I don't know how powerful it is..."
Arriving in the deserted tower forest, Lu Ming flipped his hands over and took out the martial arts secret book "Fist of Conquering the Dragon and Subduing the Tiger", and clapped his palms together.
With a "Peng" sound, "Dragon Subduing Tiger Fist" suddenly turned into a golden stream of light, sinking into Lu Ming's eyebrows.
Lu Ming has long been used to it, standing calmly on the spot, not hiding or dodge, closing his eyes slightly.
In the sea of consciousness, dragons roar, tigers roar, lightning flashes and thunder rumbles.
The Venerable Dragon descends, against the black background, or the dragon wags its tail, or the dragon claws explores the pearl, or the dragon walks.
The martial and vigorous figure was imprinted with streaks of golden villains, frozen in place.
Immediately afterwards, Venerable Fuhu appeared, demonstrating the subtlety of Fuhuquan.
The black tiger digs out its heart, the hungry tiger descends the mountain, the fierce tiger rushes to eat...
In the end, the phantoms of the boxing techniques of Arhat Subduing Dragon and Arhat Subduing Tiger are intertwined with each other, confirming each other, explaining what "boxing" is.
The boxing method is strict, and the divine power is like a prison!
Lu Ming suddenly opened his eyes, and a sharp and fierce gaze flashed across his clear pupils.
He kept the Dragon Subduing Tiger Fist in mind and practiced it in the tower forest.
When the two fists are blasted, there will be roars of dragons and tigers, and the power of the fists is unparalleled!
"Wow! Wow! Wow!"
The fist wind was like a scorpion, blowing dust on the ground, and there were waves of whistling in the air.
If the audience is standing next to them, they will probably feel a strong sense of splitting in the skin and feel awe in their hearts.
The little figure hit faster and faster, more and more fiercely.
There are many figures, jumping up, squatting and sweeping, or rushing, resembling a tiger with arms wrapped around a dragon.
Lu Ming's arms were wide open and closed, seemingly crude, but in fact they were both rigid and soft, thick and thin, just like an old master who had reached the pinnacle, and his boxing skills had reached the perfection.
After cultivating to the point of being hearty, Lu Ming focused his eyes, and punched out with both fists, just wanting to express his heart and release a burst of energy.
As a result, he subconsciously used a ray of true energy and smashed it heavily on a stone pagoda with mottled monuments.
There was a "bang" explosion.
The stone pagoda was shattered in the middle, torn apart, rubble splashed, and the top of the pagoda collapsed to the ground.
A stone tower as tall as three people was knocked down by Lu Ming just like that.
"Is...is it so powerful?"
Lu Ming stared dumbfounded at the broken tower on the ground.
He also did not expect that his fists just now could have such power.
Isn't it said that only the eighth and seventh ranks can open the monument and crack the stone?
How come I just entered the ninth rank, and I can directly blow up the stone pagoda.
"The stone pagoda must have been exposed to the wind and sun, was in disrepair for a long time, and was too fragile to collapse. It has nothing to do with me."
"Amitabha, Amitabha, I have sinned..."
Hearing footsteps in the distance, Lu Ming stuck out his tongue, quickly rubbed the soles of his feet with oil, and ran away.
Of course, he didn't forget to take his broom with him before he slipped away.
When the person arrived, it was a coincidence that it was the monk who had just led a group of young monks to practice Arhat boxing, and his dharma name was Yuankong.
In terms of seniority, Yuan Kong is a generation lower than Monk Jue Yuan, but a generation higher than Lu Ming, who is the "miaozi generation".
Monk Yuankong looked at the collapsed stone tower and frowned.
"Is it weathered and collapsed? It's not like..."
Monk Yuankong squatted down, picked up the gravel on the ground with his fingers, and rubbed it a few times.
These crushed stones are as crisp and floating as sand, which can be crushed when pinched, and scattered by the wind.
"What a powerful punch!"
Yuan Kong's eyes widened, and his face with sharp edges and corners, which had become bronze-colored due to the wind and sun, suddenly revealed a look of shock.
The stone pagoda in the pagoda forest was originally a stupa built by the eminent monks in the temple who went out to travel, practiced in the world of mortals, and accumulated merits and virtues.
In fact, it is like a monument of merit and virtue, and has no practical effect.
Therefore, there are countless "merit monuments" in the Tallinn.
Over time, if no one takes care of it, it will collapse if it collapses.
What really shocked Monk Yuankong was that it was not difficult to knock down the stone pagoda, just one punch from Monk Yuankong.
But it is difficult to make the gravel crisp and floating like sand.
This requires extremely strong explosive power, extremely fierce strength!
Monk Yuankong asked himself that he had been practicing the Eighteen Arhat Boxing for more than ten years, and he was very talented and practiced to perfection, but he could not do this.
"What kind of boxing is this?"
"To have such powerful martial arts, there is only a strong Vajra Finger in the temple!"
"The martial art that can break the stone tower is obviously boxing!"
Monk Yuankong was puzzled and scratched his bald head, only thinking that it was done by his uncle who practiced Luohanquan more advanced than him.
The next day.
Lu Ming took the broom and came to Arhat Hall again.
A group of young novice monks wearing monk robes were practicing boxing. When they saw Lu Ming coming over, they couldn't help but laugh at them.
"This serving monk is here again."
"If you are greedy for Arhat Boxing, you can join the Arhat Hall. Unfortunately, you are not qualified."
"A mere serving monk dares to secretly learn the advanced martial arts of our school many times, isn't he afraid of punishment!"
Lu Ming glanced at it casually, his eyes full of sarcasm, and turned around, throwing it away like a pair of shoes.
The boxing technique that fascinated him yesterday, but today it is full of loopholes, it is simply "spicy".
Lu Ming didn't stay long, he put the broom on his shoulder and left contentedly.
He came here today mainly to see how the Eighteen Arhat Fist compares to the Subduing Dragon and Subduing the Tiger Fist.
Now I know, just like the gap between clouds and mud!
Before he had gone far, Lu Ming's voice came: "Greatness is too much to be refined, miscellaneous but not pure, clever but not fierce, there are changes in the sky, and the strength is not enough."
This is Lu Ming's comment on Eighteen Arhats.
Monk Yuankong laughed when he heard the words: "How dare a mere little novice who sweeps the floor dare to comment on Eighteen Arhats Boxing?"
"You don't know the heights of the sky and the depths of the earth, and you don't understand the boundlessness of Buddhism. I'm afraid you don't even know the simplest boxing techniques!"
A group of young novice monks laughed so hard that they couldn't close their mouths.
At this time, Lu Ming, who was disdainful of their argument, had already walked away.
in fact……
If there was the head of the Arhat Hall, hearing Lu Ming's comments on Arhat Fist, his body would be shaken, his mind would be roaring, and he would look horrified.
Lu Ming's [-] concise words picked out all the flaws of Arhat Fist! !
The leader of Luohan Hall has been immersed in Luohan Quan for decades, and of course he discovered the problems with Luohan Quan, but he has never found a solution, which has become a big worry.
……
"It's not impossible to make up for the shortcomings of Arhat Fist, but... hehe, they don't deserve to know."
"Well, where do I go to receive the reward next?"
Lu Ming leaned on the broom and thought.
……
There are so many buildings in Shaolin Temple, including many historical sites and places of interest, that Lu Ming had the illusion of choosing a concubine.
In the end, Lu Ming chose Bodhidharma Hall.
There is a legend about Bodhidharma crossing the river with a reed, and his lightness kung fu is amazing.
Therefore, among the 72 unique skills in Shaolin, there is a superb movement method - crossing the river with one reed!
After Lu Ming received the reward at the Bodhidharma Hall, he obtained the ability to cross the river with a single reed [Bitter sea without crossing]!
The sea of bitterness is boundless.
According to the introduction of the system, if you cultivate Wudu Wudu to the perfect state, you can teleport like a teleportation, regardless of distance, which is comparable to the magical powers of the six magical powers of Buddhism.
With Lu Ming's current strength, even if he couldn't teleport, he could still be better than crossing the river with a reed.
In the next few days, Lu Ming received his reward at the Sutra Pavilion and received a Great Return Pill.
Receive the reward in the Hall of Heavenly Kings and get the pipa song of the Heavenly King of Chiguo.
It is rumored that it was composed by Chiguo Heavenly King, one of the Four Heavenly Kings. When it is played, it can be called a divine comedy.
Receive rewards in the Drum Tower and get the secret pill of meritorious deeds.
This pill is a secret treasure of Shaolin, its preciousness is almost equal to the Nine Sutras of Bodhidharma, and it can increase one's skill for ten years, even while walking and sleeping.
Receive rewards at the bell tower and get a purple gold bowl.
There are magical weapons in the world, and Shaolin Temple also hides Buddhist treasures, such as the green jade Buddhist staff and the picture of hundreds of Buddhas.
The purple gold alms bowl that Lu Ming received as a reward was no worse than the above Buddhist treasures.
Of course, not every time you receive a reward, you can get the holy book of martial arts and the magic weapon.
Lu Ming would occasionally receive rewards to get some useless things, or varying amounts of broken silver.
While sweeping the floor during the day, look for opportunities to catch fish and sneak into the temple's monuments to collect rewards.
At night, Lu Ming will practice hard to improve his cultivation.
He made rapid progress, and broke through to the eighth rank by using the Xinggong Secret Pill.
He also refined the Great Return Pill and was promoted to the seventh level!
In the blink of an eye, after coming to Shaolin Temple for a month and a half, Lu Ming, who became an old fried dough stick, started to write a diary.
