Chapter 36 Patriarch, look at it!
Today, the sun is high and the sky is clear.
Some time.
Suddenly, a magnificent Buddhist aura emanated overwhelmingly from the Buddha Hall, sweeping across the entire Shaolin Temple in an instant!
Suddenly.
Everyone in the Shaolin Temple was shocked.
Everyone felt a grand and terrifying aura.
That aura made the Shaolin monks tremble!
Countless eyes are cast on the Buddha Hall!
Because this is not the first time this kind of breath has appeared.
Two years ago, this grand and terrifying atmosphere also appeared in Shaolin Temple.
One wave comes after another.
The appearance of this majestic aura caused a great shock in the Shaolin Temple.
"That's the breath of Arhat! It also appeared two years ago."
"That aura came from the Buddha Hall. Someone should have received the inheritance of Arhat relics!"
"It has only been two years, and someone has inherited the Arhat relics. Is it necessary that there will be two Buddhist disciples in Shaolin in this generation?"
"I wonder who got the inheritance of Arhat relics?"
......
In a Zen room in the Leiyin Pagoda, Abbot Kukai woke up from trance, and his eyes also looked in the direction of the Buddhist temple.
"The breath of Arhat relics!"
There was a little surprise in Kukai's vicissitudes of life, "Buddha bless Shaolin, and another disciple has received the inheritance of Arhat relics!"
"I wonder which disciple it is?"
The abbot finished his meditation, stood up, and left the meditation room.
......
At this time, Wu An didn't know that the appearance of Arhat's breath had caused another big shock, and that he had entered the consciousness space of the relic.
Bodhidharma!
The other party directly revealed his identity, but Wu An was shocked.
In Wu An’s impression, there is only one Bodhidharma in Shaolin, and that is Patriarch Bodhidharma.
It is no exaggeration to say that Bodhidharma's name is unknown to almost everyone in Shaolin.
The seventy-two stunts of Shaolin that are astounding in the world were created by Bodhidharma.
Throughout the history of Shaolin, Bodhidharma is definitely a man of great influence who has left a strong mark.
Therefore, for Bodhidharma, the sages of Shaolin Temple all respect him as the Patriarch.
Wu An had no idea that this Arhat relic was left by Patriarch Bodhidharma.
Bodhidharma is not the white-browed old monk that Wu An imagined. On the contrary, Bodhidharma looks very young, has delicate features, and is not much different from an ordinary novice monk.
Looking at the little novice monk in front of him, Wu An couldn't help but ask: "Are you the Patriarch Bodhidharma who created the seventy-two unique skills?"
Bodhidharma smiled and said, "If you are referring to the seventy-two skills of Shaolin, then they were created by me."
"It is indeed Patriarch Bodhidharma."
Wu An took a deep breath, and suddenly seeing a character who only existed in legends would make anyone else feel excited.
Moreover, this is the first time that Wu An has seen a powerful person who transcends the ninth level of martial arts, even if the Patriarch Bodhidharma opposite him only has a residual consciousness.
Immediately, Wu An put his hands together and saluted: "Disciple has met Patriarch Bodhidharma!"
Bodhidharma smiled and said: "There is no need to be polite in front of me, just call me Bodhidharma."
Naturally, Wu An would not call him by his name and asked: "Grandmaster, may I ask if you are an Arhat?"
Bodhidharma said: "You are talking about the realm of heaven and humanity above the ninth level of martial arts!"
Wu An nodded.
Bodhidharma shook his head, "I don't have much conscious memory of this period left by the original body. I probably know that the original body's cultivation level during his lifetime should have exceeded the realm of heaven and human beings."
Bodhidharma thought for a while and then said: "I remember that a long time ago, someone called the true body Bodhisattva. Yes, it is called Bodhisattva Bodhisattva!"
"Exceeding the realm of heaven and humanity?!"
I didn’t expect that Wu An would get such an answer just by asking casually.
"Bodhisattva?"
"Is it possible that after Arhat there will be Bodhisattva?"
Wu An was greatly surprised, and then he felt a little emotional.
Even though he is a Bodhisattva who is more powerful than Arhat, he cannot escape the long river of time in the end. In the end, he will reach nirvana and become a relic.
"Who told you that the main body is dead?"
Bodhidharma seemed to be able to see through Wu An's thoughts and said directly.
"Huh?"
Wu An was shocked. He seemed to have unearthed a shocking secret, and hurriedly asked: "Master Bodhidharma, do you mean that your true body is still alive in the world?"
Bodhidharma shook his head and said, "I am just a piece of consciousness left by the original body. I cannot know whether he is still alive. But from the memory left in this consciousness by the original body, I know that after leaving this relic, he is still alive."
Survive."
Wu An was confused and asked: "Master Bodhidharma, since this relic is left by your body, why is he still alive in the world? Doesn't the relic only appear after Nirvana?"
Bodhidharma explained, "The original body should have achieved nirvana and lived the second life."
"Can Nirvana survive a second life?"
Wu An was greatly shocked. In his understanding, Nirvana is annihilation. At the time of Nirvana, the Holy Fire of Nirvana will burn out everything, leaving only a relic.
He had never heard of anyone surviving a second life from nirvana.
Bodhidharma said: "It is difficult for those who are in the realm of gods to be reborn from nirvana. Only warriors above the realm of gods and humans have the chance to be reborn from nirvana."
"However, in my memory, the original body also experienced nine deaths before being reborn from nirvana and living a second life."
"It turns out that Nirvana can lead to rebirth!"
Wu An seemed to have discovered a new continent and was full of curiosity about Nirvana.
Immediately, Wu An said to Bodhidharma: "Can the Patriarch teach his disciples the technique of Nirvana and rebirth?"
"Okay!" Bodhidharma said simply, but added, "But before that, you have to pass the test set by the main body."
"By passing the test, you can obtain all the inheritance left by the original body."
Wu An was eager to try, "May I ask the founder what the test is?"
Bodhidharma said slowly: "The test is to learn the seventy-two skills created by the original body."
"That's it?"
Wu An was slightly startled, and then asked: "The test left by the founder's body is the seventy-two skills?"
Bodhidharma nodded and said, "Destined people, don't think of this test too simply."
"The test requirement left by the ontology is to learn seventy-two skills, and to cultivate each skill to the state of perfection."
"For ordinary warriors, I am afraid that they will not be able to master one skill in their lifetime, let alone seventy-two skills!"
"Since the original body left the relics, no one has ever been able to pass the test set by the original body."
Of course Wu An knew that what Bodhidharma said was indeed true. Even a Shaolin Buddhist disciple could not practice all the seventy-two skills to perfection.
In the history of Shaolin Temple, except for Bodhidharma himself, perhaps no one could master all 72 skills.
Of course, Wu'an is an exception.
At this moment, Wu An looked strange. He looked at Bodhidharma and confirmed again with a serious face, "Grandmaster, are you sure that as long as you learn the seventy-two skills, you can get all your inheritance."
Bodhidharma said: "As long as you can practice the seventy-two skills of the Dacheng realm in front of me, you can get all the inheritance left by the original body."
Wu An smiled slightly, put on his posture, and said loudly,
"Grandmaster, please take a look!"
