Chapter 330 Dharma Stone Wall

Under the leadership of Master Dechun, Chen Ran passed through the Heavenly King's Hall and the Daxiong Hall, bypassed Tallinn in the west, and came to the Chuzu Temple. On this way, the monks in the temple bowed their heads when they saw Master Dechun and saluted. It could be seen that Master Dechun's status in the temple was very high.

The first ancestral temple, also known as the surface wall temple, is the place dedicated to the ancestors of Dharma. It was not until he came here that Chen Ran felt the solemn feeling brought to him by the thousand-year-old ancient temple. Most of the buildings of the current Shaolin Temple have been renovated and look magnificent, but the feeling given Chen Ran is not so much. One thing.

This is the drawback of excessive commercialization.

The commercial operation of Shaolin Temple is so successful that people can't associate it with the original Shaolin Temple. It seems that it has changed. It is no longer a Shaolin Temple with the Shaolin Temple in your heart. When you step into Shaolin Temple, you can't find the solemn and pious feeling, giving people I feel that Shaolin Temple is just a scenic spot, not a Buddhist holy place.

It was not until I entered the Chuzu Temple that I had the feeling of going to the Buddhist holy place. The solemn atmosphere came to my face. I couldn't help but dare to make a loud noise and make too much noise, as if I was afraid of disturbing the Buddha's cultivation.

Master Dechun took Chen Ran to introduce the scenic spots he passed through to Chen Ran, and turned around the Chuzu Temple. At the back mountain of the back mountain, there were two monks in yellow guarding the entrance of the back mountain. Seeing that this situation was obviously not open to tourists, the two monks in yellow should have been notified, but they did not stop Chen. However, I couldn't help looking at Chen Ran. Obviously, it was also because the old Zen master suddenly met such a young man for so many years that they couldn't help being moved and curious.

"Lord Chen, the family teacher is in the back mountain to meditate. You can enter by yourself, but after entering, don't rush into it, so as not to disturb the cultivation of other Zen masters..."

Master Dechun did not accompany Chen Ran into the back mountain. He sent Chen Ran to the back mountain intersection and stopped. He turned around and solemnly told Chen Ran.

The back mountain is the place where the older generation of monks practice. Without the summons of his mentors, even he is not allowed to enter easily. The main reason is that he is afraid of disturbing the older generation of monks. The older generation here does not mean that they are in Shaolin Temple. At present, only his mentors are higher than him, mainly talking about age. The back mountain is full of elderly monks. These monks are high and low in Shaolin Temple, but most of them are over 80 years old.

Master Dechun told Chen Ran and turned his head and left. Chen Ran wanted to ask him how to find the old Zen master, but he had no time, so he had to take a glance around the environment in front of him.

Shaolin Temple was originally built halfway up Mount Song. The place in front of him is actually the slanting valley where the two mountains meet. Presumably the entrance of this slanting valley is the entrance to the back mountain.

In this case, Chen Ran walked slowly into the back mountain.

In the back mountain is a canyon. The mountain is beautiful, the environment is quiet, and it is very quiet. You can hear the sound of running water and the sound of birds... Chen Ran walked along a mountain road to the top of the mountain. Along the way, peanuts were planted on both sides of the mountain road, which reminded him of the Shaolin hidden monk who had been circulating some time ago.

The Shaolin monk has been living in seclusion, but he is not in the Shaolin Temple, but in the lower house of the Shaolin Temple, living in the cave day and night. At that time, he was exposed by reporters. In addition to this hidden monk, there are other old monks and bhikshuni. Living in seclusion is still a combination of agricultural Zen and hard work. There is quite a legacy of Zen Buddhism in the Tang Dynasty Baizhang Huaihai Zen master who "do not work for a day, do not eat for a day".

Master Dechun did not come in the back mountain of Shaolin Temple easily. Obviously, those old monks were probably farming, which made Chen Ran feel a little less flashy and more real.

He didn't let Chen Ran go far, but climbed a stone slope along the stone steps. A silver beard crossed his chest, his face was old, and his whole face was full of wrinkles. He couldn't see that the old monk appeared in Chen Ran's sight.

In front of him is a pool. The pool is not big, only a few feet round. There is a big stone beside the pool, and the old monk is sitting on this big stone.

The old monk looked very ordinary and gave people a very kind feeling, as if he had seen a kind grandfather. In addition to being kind, he couldn't help but make people respect from the bottom of his heart.

Or, the old monk has a pious feeling.

Chen Ran had never seen Master Dechun's teacher before, but he had a feeling that the old monk in front of him was Master Dechun's teacher, that is, he wanted to see the old Zen master.

"Old Zen master..."

The old Zen master sat motionless on the stone, and even if Chen Ran came over, he didn't seem to see it. Chen Ran saw that he didn't say anything and could only shout respectfully, but he still didn't respond at all.

shouted twice without responding. Chen Ran shook his head helplessly and walked straight over.

It was not until he walked on the stone where the old Zen master sat that Chen Ran found that the old Zen master had been staring at the opposite side, and he didn't know what was so attractive that he didn't blink.

Chen Ran couldn't help looking at the opposite side of the old Zen master's sight. Then he found that on the opposite side, that is, on the other side of the pool, there was a cave. The cave was dozens of feet wide, and all kinds of strange stalactites fell around, and the inner wall of the cave turned out to be a mirror-like stone wall.

Maybe it is because of the light, there are some beautiful light spots hanging on the stone wall, shining brightly, decorating the cave into a colorful world, like a paradise.

The stone wall is as smooth as a mirror, but if you look closely, you will find that there is a figure on the stone wall.

Looking at this scene, Chen Ran was suddenly surprised. Fortunately, he had a rich experience and had seen many strange things. He was shocked and returned to normal.

However, the scene in front of him brought a legend to his mind.

Presumably, anyone who sees the scene in front of them will involuntarily think of this legend.

This legend is the legend of the ancestor of Dharma.

It is said that Emperor Wu of Liang set up a large translation field in Nanjing, and many Tianzhu monks came here. Among them, a famous monk who came to China had a far-reaching impact on Zen Buddhism and Chinese Buddhism. Needless to say, he is the famous Dharma ancestor.

After Dharma arrived at Jinling, Emperor Wu of Liang was an emperor who believed in Buddhism. After his accession to the throne, he built temples, wrote scriptures, monks, and statues. He arrogantly asked Dharma how much merit I had done these things?

As a result, Dharma said that there was no merit, and Emperor Wu asked why there was no merit? Dharma said that this is a merit, not a real merit.

Emperor Wu couldn't understand that the two broke up unhappily. After Dharma left, Emperor Wu of Liang was deeply regretful. After learning the news of Dharma's departure, he immediately sent someone to ride a mule to chase him.

When chasing to the middle of the Shogunate Mountain, the peaks on both sides suddenly closed, and the group were sandwiched between the two peaks. Dharma was walking to the river. When he saw someone coming, he folded a reed and threw it into the river, turned into a flat boat, and floated across the river.

This is the legend of Dharma's ancestor crossing the river.

After crossing the river, Dharma held a Zen battle and walked by faith. He saw the mountain to worship and sat in the temple. Xiaochang of the Northern Wei Dynasty arrived at Songshan Shaolin Temple in three years.

Master Dharma came to Shaolin and saw that it was surrounded by mountains and the environment was quiet, so he regarded Shaolin Temple as his missionary dojo.

Later, there was a legend that the ancestor of Dharma was facing the wall for nine years. The ancestor of Dharma was on the inner wall of a karst cave in Shaolin Temple for nine years.

It is recorded that the cave on the wall of Dharma Zushi is a natural cave. When you walk to the mouth of the cave and look back, a ray of sunlight is thrown in through the bushes, and the light in the cave is really a natural treasure cave.

Damo stepped into the hole and found that the cave was very shallow. The surrounding rock wall was impenetrable, and the inner wall was like a mirror. It was really a natural place for retreat.

Nine years after the face wall of Dharma, a figure was reflected on the stone wall in the cave. At that time, the monk shouted magic. From then on, he respected Dharma like a god, and the legend of Dharma wall spread.

There has always been a lot of speculation about the cave facing the wall of Dharma Ancestor. Most of them regard Dharma Cave as the place facing the wall of Dharma, but Chen Ran knows that the cave in front of him should be the real wall of Dharma Ancestor.

In addition to the current situation as described in the legend, there is another reason, that is, Chen Ran gave him a sense of piety when he looked at the stone wall.

This feeling of piety is very strong, and it is under the premise that he does not release an energy aperture.

Chen Ran was also surprised to see the cave on the wall of Master Mozu. After all, Master Dharma is a legendary figure, and now he is also close to the legendary Zen ancestor.

The old Zen master looked at the cave in front of him motionless. Chen Ran thought that the old Zen master might be participating in meditation, so he did not dare to disturb him any more.

In such a Buddhist holy place, Chen Ran did not dare to offend him. He tried to sit down like an old Zen master. Although the old Zen master's sitting posture seemed to be very casual, but after Chen Ran learned to sit down, he knew that ordinary people really couldn't learn it, and only he who had been insisting on practicing strange dances could learn it. Come on.

Chen Ran didn't find that when he sat down like this, the old Zen master who had been staring at the stone wall couldn't help looking at him more.

After sitting down, Chen Ran also looked at the stone wall in the cave. After calming down, the feeling of piety was infinitely magnified in front of him.

Chen Ran was not surprised. If it had been in the past, he might have been surprised, but since he found that the Buddha artifacts really have the effect of calming the mind, he is not surprised. Buddhism can be passed down for thousands of years. Obviously, it is not just as simple as eating fasting and reciting Buddha.

During this period, he also has a better understanding of Buddhist artifacts.

He understood the breath from the Buddha's weapon as the magnetic field or aura field. The reason for this understanding is that he read some books about feng shui during this period. In feng shui, its theoretical basis is the aura.

Fengshui believes that the aura field is everywhere, but the aura field is good or bad, strong and weak. Where the aura is good and strong is the place where the aura is good; on the contrary, where the aura is bad and the aura is weak, the place is not good.

The aura in shui is undoubtedly similar to the breath of Buddha's weapons. Just like after he released the energy aperture, some magic weapons passed on suction, while others gave him repulsion, just like the sword and the soul bottle in Yang madman's house.

It can give him a sense of piety, which shows that the aura of this thing is large. The stone cave in front of him is the place facing the wall of Master Dharma, and the aura must be bigger.

Of course, it is undoubtedly a little disrespectful to Buddha with an aura, and it may be better to describe it with desire or faith.

After Chen Ran calmed down and looked at the stone wall, the feeling of piety from the stone wall became stronger and stronger. With a suction, this suction also became stronger and stronger, as if to absorb his spiritual power.

Chen Ran was a little shocked, and what shocked him more was that the energy aperture in his mind seemed to be ready to move at this moment...
