Shaolin monk

"...But if I remember correctly, neither of the two senior brothers knows how to practice Prajna Zen Palm?" Ling Duoduo frowned to express his doubts. If the three idiots and the three precepts had such powerful martial arts, they would have given them this Qun Xiaodouding showed off.

Sanchi's brain is not very good at turning corners, so he was taken aback by what he said, but Sanjie calmly said: "Our two brothers are stupid, and we haven't learned such advanced palm techniques yet, but the master will. He is a disciple from the Orthodox Discipline Academy, and he was also the chief of the Discipline Academy before taking over the position in charge."

After a short pause, Sanjie saw that Ling Duoduo still didn't believe it, so he could only helplessly say: "The Discipline Academy is a special hall responsible for the rules and order of the entire Shaolin Temple. If you can't even beat the disciples of other halls, how can you convince others?" That's all I know, monks don't lie, Sanli, when did senior brother lie to you?"

Ling Duoduo really made sense when he thought about it. Thanks to the blessings he experienced in his previous lives, he knew a little more than the disciples of the orthodox Discipline Academy, Sanjie. After the Eight Bronze Man Formation came down from the mountain, they relied on their martial arts to commit crimes and crimes, and the disciples of the Discipline Academy went down the mountain to abolish their martial arts and punish them.

In this way, the Discipline Academy should indeed be responsible for the essence of Luohan Hall and Prajna Hall, otherwise it would not be able to successfully subdue the disciples from these two halls.

Ling Duoduo quickly glanced at San Jie and San Chi who were full of nervous faces, thinking silently in his heart.Sanchi is best at the entry-level Chaoyangquan, which has no reference value, but Sanjie, as the first disciple of intelligence, knows how to fight "Crossing Shaolin 33 Road Divine Fist". .

From this point of view, if the Three Idiots and Three Precepts hadn't lied to him, the Discipline Academy might really gather the essence of Arhat Hall and Prajna Hall. Ling Duoduo had never seen Zhi Zhi's real attack, so he couldn't figure out his martial arts skills, but he wanted to come Being able to be in charge of the Discipline Academy at the age of 20 is a far cry from his two cute apprentices.

Ling Duoduo is also known as a decisive person, he thought through the twists and turns, although he didn't immediately give a clear answer to the Three Idiots and Three Precepts, but after an incense stick of time, when Zhishan asked, he still replied. The words "Temple of Precepts" came out.

When Ling Duoduo was talking, he had been carefully observing Zhishan's reaction, not only did he not show surprise on his peaceful face, but he was a little satisfied, and he knew that he had made the right bet with a flick of his heart.

He was still puzzled before, the presiding officer and the abbot were still reciting scriptures and Buddhas, the Three Precepts and Three Idiots would run over and rush him to join the Precepts Academy. Although he deliberately lowered his voice when speaking, with the ears of several elders, he should be able to hear It should be clear.

At the very least, Ling Duoduo felt ashamed when he saw Zhizhi standing at the end, and turned his head to stare at his two apprentices several times, but San Jie and San Chi had their backs to him and didn't notice it.

It stands to reason that Zhizhi should have come to stop him and scolded his disciples, but there was no movement from Zhishan, and he couldn't go beyond the abbot's behavior, so he gritted his teeth and tried to deal with the two disciples when he returned.

Zhishan heard the words of the Three Precepts and the Three Idiots, but pretended not to hear them. Although he had to worry about the reactions of the other elders and could not explicitly order Ling Duoduo to enter the Discipline Academy, his attitude still revealed everything invisibly.

The presiding abbot didn't stop, he walked towards the next person, asked the hall he chose, and after asking them one by one, he said slowly: "Fifty has five disciples, Luohan hall has 27 students, and Prajna hall has sixteen students." Names, eleven from the Bodhi Academy, one from the Precept Academy, and the managers of each academy can take away the disciples."

Three Precepts and Three Idiots almost wept with joy behind Zhizhi, waiting and looking forward, finally after so many years waiting for a junior, and depending on the situation, it may be the last junior, it is really not easy.

From Zhizhi's face, he couldn't see his obvious opinion on the new apprentice, he just said: "Sanli, follow me."

Ling Duoduo followed as promised, and came all the way to the Temple of Discipline, and found that the huge courtyard was deserted, and there was no shadow of a monk passing by nearby, so he couldn't help smiling knowingly.

On weekdays, he sneaked from the small building of the Buddha's heart to the Buddhist scriptures pavilion, and he took this path. He never worried that anyone would pass by, and the deterrent effect of intelligence was still very strong.

Chih-chih led him to see the place where San Jie San Chi lived. In the future, it would also be the room where Ling Xiaoxiao lived. There were two beddings on the earthen bed that could sleep 20 people. The tables and chairs on the ground were spotless.

Chih-chih touched the legs and feet of the chair, frowned, looked fierce, looked at Sanchi and Sanjie who were following behind who were still happy to finally have a junior brother, and finally swallowed the words that came to his lips, With a dark face, Ling Duoduo asked Ling Duoduo to put the luggage on it.

Ling Duoduo felt that Zhizhi was either a strict perfectionist like him, or a big clean freak, who couldn't even bear the dust on the chair legs in the apprentice's room, so he obediently put the package on the bed.

Zhizhi Surong said: "Sanli, in the future you will be a disciple of my Shaolin Household Discipline Academy, you must study my Shaolin martial arts hard, and the reputation of Shaolin in the martial arts in the future will depend on your generation."

It can be seen from this sentence that Zhishan’s Buddhist cultivation is not as high as that of perfection. At the very least, Zhishan teaches his disciples to "practice martial arts, punish evil and promote good", while Zhizhi values ​​the reputation of Shaolin more.

Although Zhizhi is a person who practices Buddhism, the shadow of Buddhism in his speech and behavior is very weak, which is probably affected by his own personality.

Ling Duoduo didn't care about this, he didn't feel afraid of Zhizhi, it was a good thing to have a strict master, since Zhizhi valued fame and honor so much, he would definitely urge him to practice martial arts.

Besides, the three precepts and the three idiots have mediocre martial arts talents, and there are only three pitiful disciples in the precepts academy. Zhizhi must have expected him, which means that Zhizhi will definitely devote more energy to teaching him. One-to-one teaching is hard to imagine in other classrooms.

Wisdom asked him to pack up his personal belongings, led him around the interior of the Discipline Academy, and told him about the basic functions of the Discipline Academy.

Ling Duoduo listened carefully, and found that the Discipline Academy still has a lot of power. It integrates justice, law enforcement, and law supervision, which is equivalent to the trinity of the modern court, public security, and procuratorate. Therefore, when Shaolin and Wudang clashed some time ago, Zhishan Leaving Shaolin with the other four elders, they all handed over the affairs of the temple to Zhizhi to manage.

"Because of its special function, the Discipline Institute specializes in the study of grasping hands, but at the same time, you can go to each institute to attend and learn, master various unique skills, and then figure out the method of cracking it, so that you can go down the mountain to catch and punish Shaolin rebels in the future." Zhizhi added. Dao, "However, the energy of a person's life is limited, and he can't eat too much. After roughly mastering various skills, he should choose several boxing techniques according to his personal ability and preference."

Ling Duoduo stood at attention, clasped his hands together, and said: "Yes, master, I understand."

Zhizhi is very satisfied with his attitude. In fact, Zhizhi has said these words to San Chi and Sanjie, but these two apprentices didn't listen carefully, so that they couldn't even explain clearly the functions of the Discipline Academy in the hall just now. , making him deeply ashamed.

Seeing that he was obedient and obedient, Zhizhi added another sentence: "One method can master all methods. There are no absolute advantages or disadvantages in martial arts in the world. Even the superficial boxing methods can be mastered after 20 years of intensive study." A first-class boxer." Therefore, the martial arts studied by each hall in Shaolin are not the same, and it is not recommended that students learn all the unique skills of Shaolin.

Because no one can be top-notch in fist, palm, and finger, and be proficient in all eighteen kinds of weapons, unless he is an extremely talented person.

Zhizhi was a little sentimental when he said this, and sighed for the first time: "The disciples of the Discipline Academy can study in each academy, which has caused many disciples to pursue the number of moves too much. The Discipline Academy has declined more and more in recent years."

"Yes, master, the disciples must remember the master's teachings." Ling Duoduo sensibly did not remind him that the main reason why there is only one general and three soldiers in the Discipline Academy is that intelligence is too deterrent.

In all fairness, Zhizhi’s words do have some truth, but Ling Duoduo doesn’t take it seriously. It’s true that greediness does exist, but he still believes that within the limits of one’s energy, one should learn as much as possible. Only by learning the method can we learn from the strengths of other families and broaden our horizons.

It is true that a set of "Taizu Changquan" can become a first-class boxer after 20 years of study, but if you practice Prajna Zen Palm, you can become a first-class boxer in a few years. Husband and wife kill each other because of martial arts, and brothers turn against each other.

However, there is no correct answer to this kind of thing, it’s just that everyone’s understanding is different. Ling Duoduo didn’t mean to argue with Zhizhi, but instead said very well: “Master, Master Wumei once told his disciples that There used to be a Shaolin disciple who knew only the basic Shaolin Changquan boxing method, from the time he practiced it in his youth to his old age, his boxing method formed his own school, and he was invincible all over the martial arts world.”

This is an unnamed monk more than 100 years ago. Zhizhi wanted to give him this example. Unexpectedly, Wumei had already told him. She nodded in approval and led him to the small square in the center. Make him squat.

I heard that the unwritten rule of Shaolin is that on the first day when a disciple enters each hall, he must familiarize himself with the surrounding environment, learn the rules and etiquette, and even meet and greet with the brothers and sisters. Unexpectedly, intelligence races against time to carry out devil training—of course, This is also likely to be related to the special situation that the Discipline Academy does not need to be familiar with other disciples.
