Chapter 135 The Sweeping Monk’s Guidance
Yang Ming spent a lot of time looking through the various versions of the Lankavatara Sutra on the bookshelf, and made sure that nothing was missing. He also looked around and found that there was no other place where the Lankavatara Sutra was stored.
Yang Ming couldn't help but be a little disappointed.
Although he was mentally prepared at the beginning, if there was a chance, he still wanted to see the power of the Nine Yang Divine Art.
But it’s normal to think about it. If we follow the story line, it’s not yet the time for the Nine Yang Magic to appear.
In the original plot, the prerequisite for the emergence of the Nine Yang Magic is the advent of the Nine Yin Manual. After Wang Chongyang obtained the Nine Yin Manual, he had a drinking contest with a mysterious crazy monk, and then they created the Nine Yang Magic together.
The crazy monk wrote it in the gaps between the Lankavatara Sutra.
However, Yang Ming made special inquiries in this world and did not hear any news about the so-called Nine Yin Scriptures.
It seems that it has not yet reached that stage of development, and the Nine Sun Magic Technique has not yet come out.
After verifying this conjecture in his mind, Yang Ming finished flipping through the last Lankan Sutra, then put it on the bookshelf and let out a sigh of relief.
Little did he know that every move he made would fall in the eyes of the nearby monks, and at the same time, he reported the news.
At this moment, Master Xuannan listened to the news reported by the monk, his face full of surprise.
And now, beside Master Xuannan, there is a kind-hearted old monk standing.
It seemed that Master Xuannan had great admiration and respect for him.
In the Shaolin Temple, there are not many people who can be treated like this by the head of the Bodhidharma Temple, and the identity of this person is about to be revealed—Xuanci, the abbot of the Shaolin Temple.
It seems that this incident alerted the Shaolin abbot to come. After listening to the monk's report, Xuanci also chanted the Buddha's name.
"Amitabha, this man is in the Sutra Pavilion, but he can concentrate on reading the Lankavatara Sutra. This kind of mind has lasted for so long, and it doesn't seem like he is a fake. He is a talent that can be built."
"I really never thought that his ancestor was kind to our Shaolin, so I wanted to give him a skill as a reward. Now it seems that we are too superficial. With his interest in Buddhist scriptures, maybe he will join us
Buddhism can achieve quite a lot, but it’s a pity.”
Next to him, Master Xuannan also said with emotion.
Abbot Xuanci also showed considerable interest in Yang Ming.
At this time, Yang Ming had just put the Shurangama Sutra back.
Yang Ming looked at the sky outside and found that it was already evening and the sky was completely dark. There was only some faint light in the Sutra Pavilion.
The candles were all lit outside the window, fearing that they would get out of control and cause a fire.
Yang Ming exhaled a breath and planned to take advantage of the remaining time to read the so-called Shaolin martial arts classics.
But just a few steps out, Yang Ming passed by a bookshelf and stopped again.
Because there are also some Buddhist scriptures placed here.
Two names caught his attention.
One is the Lotus Sutra and the other is the Zagama Sutra.
The content that Yang Ming was previously rewarded by the system included the level of mental skills for these two scriptures, so he could practice the Yi Jin Jing without any harm.
It's just that Yang Ming hasn't really studied these yet.
Now that I saw it, I immediately became interested and wanted to see if there was anything special about the classics collected in Shaolin.
He casually pulled out a Zagama Sutra and read it.
An ordinary person would probably not be able to read such a boring scripture, but for Yang Ming, when he read this book, he suddenly had a very strange feeling.
Although I am obviously unfamiliar with the scriptures, I feel familiar with them.
Every time I read a line of words, a very profound understanding of the Buddhist scriptures emerges, and my whole body becomes completely calm, and my temperament changes.
The study of Buddhist scriptures also mobilized the Yi Jin Jing in Yang Ming's body.
Unconsciously, the Yi Jin Meridian, which was originally running slowly in the body, suddenly accelerated and continued to grow Yang Ming's Dantian meridians.
This feeling made Yang Ming feel warm and comfortable all over. At the same time, he also realized that his cultivation level was slowly improving.
Unexpectedly, it has such a miraculous effect!
Yang Ming couldn't help but be surprised, but thinking about it, now that he uses the Yi Jin Jing as his inner strength, understanding the meaning of the Buddhist scriptures can promote the improvement of the Yi Jin Jing, which will naturally improve his cultivation.
The versions of Buddhist scriptures stored in Shaolin are also extraordinary, and there are even many unique versions. After reading them, I have some insights.
Yang Ming felt this strange experience with all his heart.
But he didn't know that when he concentrated on studying the principles of Buddhist scriptures, his own aura also changed.
He was obviously dressed as a layman, but he already had the aura of an enlightened monk.
It is especially obvious in this Buddhist holy land.
When Xuanji and Xuannan received this news, they looked at each other again with expressions as if they had seen ghosts.
Yang Ming finished reading the Shurangama Sutra and then read the Zagama Sutra.
To be honest, Shaolin receives quite a few martial arts practitioners from all walks of life every year, and this is the first time I have seen such a layman who is eager to learn.
What is even more surprising is that Yang Ming seems to have already had considerable Buddhist practice. How is this possible?
When he read the Lankavatara Sutra, he had no reaction at all, but when he read the Zagama Sutra, it was completely different.
Could it be said that his talent is so amazing that he has already achieved something in the Buddhist scriptures after just reading it for a short time?
Not only others don’t believe it, but even the two eminent monks Xuanji and Xuannan don’t believe it!
How is this possible?
They are all eminent monks, and all their achievements in Buddhist scriptures and mind-based teachings can only be achieved through years of practicing the Qingdenghuangjuan, honing their mind, chanting sutras and meditating, without daring to get tired even one day.
Yang Ming could read the Lankavatara Sutra in less than one afternoon. How many years of hard training had he surpassed?
These two eminent monks have never heard of it!
"Let's go and have a look."
Xuanji and Xuannan were worried that the monks below had made a mistake in sending the message, and planned to go see it in person.
At this moment, Yang Ming finished reading the Za Agama Sutra and took out another Lotus Sutra.
Only this time, Yang Ming didn't look in and suddenly turned around.
Behind him, an old figure has appeared.
He was hunched over and sweeping the floor silently. He was already quite old, and looking at the other person's body, it seemed that his bones were very weak, and he felt like he could fall over with a gust of wind.
It won't even give people the slightest sense of crisis.
However, Yang Ming's eyes were focused on the other party.
He keenly sensed something was wrong.
The old monk did not feel any sense of danger, but Yang Ming also did not feel his presence.
This is a very strange feeling.
Obviously he saw the other person with his eyes, but in his mind, he still felt that there was nothing in front of him, as if he was just facing the air.
This old monk's whole body gave people the feeling of emptiness.
Nothing, nothing exists.
What came to my ears was the regular rustling sound of sweeping the floor.
this……
Yang Ming immediately guessed who the other party was.
You can feel this way and be keen on sweeping the floor.
The number one master in the Tianlong world - the sweeping monk.
"Amitabha."
While Yang Ming was thinking, the other party swept the floor without looking back, but a voice came out.
"The layman's character is commendable. The old monk has been sweeping the land here for decades. You are the first and only one who is so passionate about the meaning of Buddhist scriptures."
After the sweeping monk finished speaking, he pointed to the bookshelf next to him.
"If a layman is interested, he can read the scriptures there and he will certainly gain something."
"Thank you, senior."
Yang Ming just handed over his hands to thank him, but when he looked up, he found that the old monk had disappeared.
There was still an empty feeling in front of me, as if I was talking to the air, and everything I just saw was an illusion.
Really awesome!
Yang Ming thinks that he has met many masters, including Qiao Feng, who has the ceiling of combat power.
However, the power of this old monk was far beyond his imagination.
How high should this level of cultivation be?
