Swordsman

() Lin Ping tried his best to convince Liao Kong, the abbot of Putian Shaolin Temple, with the knowledge of Buddhism in his previous life, so that he no longer underestimated himself and held hostility towards him.Lin Ping discussed Buddhism with Abbot Liao Kong for a long time in the meditation room. He told Liao Kong the Buddhist knowledge and theories he had summed up through generations in his previous life.

Lin Ping blushed secretly when he heard Abbot Liao Kong's praise. These Buddhist knowledge were not realized by him, but were continuously summed up by people in the 21st century.It's not good for Lin Ping to tell others that he came from time travel, otherwise he won't be regarded as a lunatic?

Lin Ping chatted with the abbot, and before he knew it, it was time for lunch. Abbot Liao Kong invited Lin Ping to have a fast meal, and Lin Ping also had his purpose, so he readily agreed.Liao Kong is not special because of his status as the abbot. He also went to the fasting hall to eat fast with other monks.Lin Ping usually eats rich clothes and fine food at home, and occasionally eats vegetarian meals from Putian Shaolin Temple very much.

Lin Ping and Abbot Liao Kong were fasting for each other. Seeing that Abbot Putian had let go of his guard against him, he asked:

"When I first met the abbot, there seemed to be hostility in the abbot's words. Why?"

When Abbot Liao Kong saw Lin Ping's question, he put down the bowl and chopsticks, put his hands together, and answered, "The benefactor is really wise."

"The benefactor must have also seen the poverty in my temple. To tell the benefactor, there were many high-ranking officials who were willing to give money to the temple, but these people were all with the idea of ​​making the temple people work for them, so I rejected them one by one. "

"Oh, so it is." Lin Ping also suddenly realized.It's just that he thought in his heart that he didn't intend to make the monks in the monastery work for him, but he also came for the martial arts classics in the monastery, and he didn't know if it would be possible.After a period of contact with Abbot Liao Kong, Lin Ping also saw that the abbot was an eminent monk who was obsessed with Buddhism. some distance.Lin Ping still admired Abbot Liao Kong's strength of character, personality, and dedication to Buddhism. He decided not to hide his purpose, but to speak out.

"The abbot can be considerate of the people of the temple, which I admire. I dare not lie to the abbot. I have invited you to come to your temple."

"Oh?" Abbot Liao Kong was not surprised by Lin Ping's words, but just looked at him, waiting for him to tell his purpose.

"Abbot, don't misunderstand, it's not what you think, listen to the boy slowly." Seeing Liao Kong's reaction, Lin Ping quickly explained.

"The benefactor is overwhelmed. From the benefactor's understanding of Buddhism, the poor monk judged that the benefactor must be different from those people, Amitabha."

Hearing that Abbot Liao Kong was not surprised, Lin Ping made up his mind.Lin Ping thought to himself, this monk's attachment to the Dharma is really extraordinary, he actually uses the understanding of the Dharma to know people.Treating other people may really work, but who knows that I met myself who traveled through time in the 21st century.

"The boy is from Fuzhou. My father is the bodyguard of Fuwei, Lin Zhennan." Lin Ping introduced his origin first, and dispelled the monk's worries that he came to him to work for him.

"The Fuwei Escort Agency is very famous, the old monk knows it, but I didn't expect it to be the head of Lin Shao's Escort, disrespectful and disrespectful."

Lin Ping didn't care about Liao Kong's compliment, what a great reputation, there are many masters in Putian Shaolin Temple, wouldn't it be easy to destroy Fuwei Escort?

"The boy was not very strong since he was a child. He accidentally fell off a horse some time ago, and his body is not very flexible until now. Although there are 72 ways of warding off evil swords in his family that can strengthen his body, but wielding a knife and using a sword, it is not easy to hurt people and kill people." Alright, so I want to learn some methods of strengthening the body and boxing skills in your temple." Lin Ping said his purpose at this time, and he was also a little nervous, afraid that Abbot Liao Kong would refuse, so he could only look at him eagerly. .

Abbot Liao Kong heaved a sigh of relief after hearing Lin Ping's request and seeing his eager eyes.Although he believes in Lin Ping, who is "profound in Buddhism", he is afraid that he will make a request that makes himself difficult.Now knowing that what Lin Ping wanted was nothing more than practicing martial arts, this is really nothing to Putian Shaolin Temple.Farmers who usually live around the Putian Shaolin Temple take good care of the temple, and are also taught some kung fu by the monks.

"Amitabha, the old monk admires the benevolence of Lin Shao's escort. It's just a little martial arts. If Lin Shao's escort can afford it, he will follow the old monk to the Prajna Hall to choose after dinner."

"Thank you abbot, I am also a believer in the Buddha. Seeing the poverty in the temple, I feel very sorry. I will try my best in the future." After listening to Abbot Liao Kong's words, Lin Ping finally put his heart back into his stomach. , it seems that this trip has been very rewarding.Excited in his heart, Lin Ping didn't know how the food tasted in his mouth, he just hoped to finish the meal soon, and then go to the Prajna Hall in South Shaolin to see what magical powers there are.

After dinner, Abbot Liao Kong brought Lin Ping to Prajna Hall.Prajna Hall is the martial arts institution of Putian Shaolin Temple, as well as Arhat Hall and Bodhi Court.Because Lin Ping said that he didn't like to use weapons, the Bodhi Court was dedicated to practicing all kinds of strange weapons, and the Arhat Hall mainly focused on stick techniques and formations, and the formation of eighteen Arhats, so Abbot Liao Kong took Lin Ping to the Prajna Hall.

After Lin Ping entered the Prajna Hall, he paid attention to the monks practicing martial arts in the Prajna Hall. He found that most of the monks practiced boxing and palm techniques. Follow Abbot Liao Kong to see what skills Abbot Liao Kong plans to entrust to himself.

"Benefactor Lin, forgive me. Although my Putian Shaolin Temple is also called Shaolin Temple, the martial arts classics are not as old as Songshan Shaolin Temple. Most of them are superficial kung fu, but it is enough to keep fit." Abbot Liao Kong saw Lin Ping paying attention to martial arts. The monks, opened their mouths to explain.

"The abbot is too modest." Lin Ping was still immersed in the excitement of choosing the magic skill. It is modest to be the abbot, but immediately Lin Ping's mood fell from the sky to the bottom.

"Benefactor Lin, all the martial arts classics of Prajna Hall are here, you can choose by yourself." Abbot Liao Kong looked at Lin Ping and said.At this time, Lin Ping, who was stunned at the martial arts classics, did not notice the smile in Abbot Liao Kong's eyes.

Lin Ping looked at the martial arts classics in front of him, dumbfounded, unable to tell what was in his heart.It's like a diner who is full of longing for delicious food, but when it's time to eat, he finds that the only thing he can eat is pickled vegetables and steamed buns, which is really depressing.

Of course, there are still many martial arts classics in Putian Shaolin Temple, and they are complete in variety.Boxing styles include Taizu Boxing, Arhat Boxing, Dazun Boxing, Xingzhe Boxing, Baihe Boxing, etc. Palm techniques include Hepan Palm, Zhusha Palm, Qingyun Palm, Jingtao Palm, etc. Lin Ping doesn't know if these martial arts are strong, such as Shaoyang Kungfu, Po Nakung, Tongzi Kungfu, etc., but Jin Yong's world-famous magical kungfu does not have these, and it is not much stronger.Lin Ping also knew that although martial arts are strong or weak, it mainly depends on the person using martial arts. In the world of Tianlong, Xiao Feng used a set of Taizu Changquan to fight heroes from all walks of life just like in Juxian Village. It is equally powerful when used in the hand.Together with martial arts, skills, techniques, and experience are all important.Xiao Feng is a martial arts prodigy, at that time there were few opponents in the world.But Lin Ping is not. He has practiced Huashan Sword Art for a month since the original work, which shows his aptitude.

Lin Ping was disappointed, and it naturally showed on his face. Abbot Liao Kong saw it.

"Actually, I also have advanced kung fu in Putian Shaolin Temple." Abbot Liao Kong's words drew Lin Ping's attention back, and he looked at him earnestly.

"For example, Patriarch Huineng personally passed down the magical skill of Vajra Immortality, which is both internal and external. It is a well-known magical skill in the martial arts. Another example is the skill of subduing the dragon and subduing the elephant. It is also the first magical skill in Songshan Shaolin that only the academy is qualified to practice."

Lin Ping, who had come to his senses, couldn't see the smile in Monk Liao Kong's eyes, and couldn't guess his purpose.This monk clearly saw Lin Ping's profound Buddhist teachings and wanted to keep Lin Ping in Putian Shaolin Temple, so he tempted Lin Ping with magical skills.Lin Ping understood what the monk was thinking, so he couldn't blame him. He used his knowledge of Buddhism to gain trust in order to gain Liao Kong's trust.Unexpectedly, the abbot really regarded him as a profound Buddhist man, and he wanted to keep him in the temple wholeheartedly.This can be regarded as his own cocoon.

Lin Ping himself didn't care much about being a monk, but when he thought of the single lineage of the Lin family, if he really became a monk, Lin Zhennan and his wife would be so sad and disappointed.Lin Ping thought about it or forget it.

Sure enough, the abbot's following words confirmed Lin Ping's thoughts.

"However, Vajra Immortal Body and Subduing Dragon and Elephant Kung Fu are all my Putian Shaolin Temple's temple-protecting skills. Only my Putian Shaolin disciples can practice them. Lin benefactor, you are proficient in Buddhism, why don't you stay in this temple to study Buddhism."

Lin Ping, who is already clear about the whole matter, has already made a decision. He has made up his mind to save the Fuwei Escort, and honor his parents in this world. How can he become a monk here?

"The abbot already understands what the abbot means, but I'm not close to the world, I'm afraid it's not suitable for you to escape into Buddhism." Lin Ping replied.

"The benefactor is not in a hurry to answer. You can live in this temple and experience the Buddhist atmosphere of this temple more. With the benefactor's enlightenment, you may be able to change your mind." Abbot Liao Kong obviously did not give up. He felt that losing Lin Ping, a Buddhist genius who was like the reincarnation of an Arhat It's a pity.

Lin Ping, who had already made up his mind, would naturally not change his mind just because of a few words from the abbot or a few days in the temple.He glanced at the martial arts classics in the Prajna Hall with infinite anticipation, expecting the sudden appearance of his familiar divine ability, but the reality obviously disappointed him.Lin Ping's last glance suddenly came across a classic that he hadn't noticed just now. Lin Ping stepped forward and took the classic in his hand.

Lin Ping was extremely excited. Today's mood was really tossing him back and forth between the sky and the valley. Lin Ping, who was already disappointed, did not expect that there would be another village.He actually let him discover this secret book.
