Chapter 146 145 Wheat-cutting stand and clairvoyance

Starting from Cangzhou, Chen Jue walked all the way to the southwest.

His pace is not fast, but the advantage is persistence. With Chen Jue's current physical strength, he can walk for a whole day without feeling soreness in his legs and feet. He is indeed countless times stronger than when he returned to his hometown in Chencun from Hangzhou.

Following the walking route given by the mobile phone navigation, he passed through several counties and cities. Chen Jue always went to the crowded streets and old towns.

Unlike those ancient Taoist monks who went into the mountains and forests to live in huts to escape the world, Chen Jue practiced spiritual practice in the world and focused on finding his own inspiration and way of practice in the vast world of mortals.

Therefore, the more people go to places, the more Chen Jue feels calm and at ease.

Moreover, Chen Jue doesn't just walk aimlessly. Where there is signal on the road, he always uses his mobile phone to search for delicious food in the next city and store exploration guides while walking.

When you go to a city, try the ancient flavors that the locals like, see the special charm of the old streets and shops, and feel the local customs.

At night, find a nearby clean hotel to stay, take a hot shower to wash away the dust on your body, and give your changed clothes to the hotel front desk to have them cleaned and dried overnight at a nearby dry cleaner, and finally go to bed.

Get a good night's sleep to replenish your energy and build up your energy for the next day.

His behavior in the eyes of others is just like that of a veteran backpacker traveling on a budget.

However, when it comes to food and accommodation, Chen Jue is more open-minded than those budget backpackers. He doesn't seek petty gains and can do as he pleases, whatever makes him feel comfortable.

He could have breakfast for just a few dollars, or he could spend thousands on a big meal for lunch and dinner. Anyway, he had a hundred thousand bonus from the competition, so he didn't feel bad spending it.

When Chen Jue reached the level of cultivation, money was easily accessible to him, so he didn't care so much about the thickness of his wallet.

Just like us ordinary people, we used to use cash to spend money. When we find money, we have odd amounts and neat numbers. We count money from our wallets and feel comfortable spending it.

Nowadays, when I go out, I always use an electronic wallet and scan the QR code to pay. When faced with the string of numbers, after using it for a long time, it no longer feels like real money. Instead, it feels like playing a game and recharging game coins.

After living in a muddle for a month, I didn't even know where my money was spent. Then I looked at the meager salary I received every month, and then looked at the overspending bills last month, and I suddenly felt like crying without tears.

…

After walking like this for more than 600 kilometers, at a speed of more than 100 kilometers per day, it took almost a week to walk from Cangzhou to Guanzhou. Chen Jue found a hotel in Guanzhou city to stay for one night.

The next day I got up, had breakfast and set off again. It was not until noon that I slowly walked to my first destination, which was the Shaolin Temple.

Among the martial arts practiced by Chen Jue, several were handed down from the Shaolin Temple. In addition, he had fought against the monk Yantong. Although they did not exchange contact information, Chen Jue still wanted to visit and travel first.

After visiting the Shaolin Temple, it’s not too late to go to Wudang, which is not far away. It’s all on the same route anyway, it’s just a matter of order.

It's just that the Shaolin Temple is now heavily commercialized and has become a scenic spot after commercial operation. Just like Putuo Island next to Lao Liu's dormitory at Chen Jue University, most tourists come to the island, but only a few come to worship Buddha sincerely.

Incidentally, Chen Jue went to Putuo Island with Wang Biao and Cheng Wei on the eve of his graduation, which was treated as a graduation trip.

It was also that trip that made Chen Jue see the power of religious belief.

An old woman who was burning incense and worshiping Buddha took out a gold necklace from her bag and threw it directly on the altar table. Chen Jue and his roommates looked at it in disbelief.

Now that he thought about it, Chen Jue realized that it was the belief in the heart of every devout believer and their own emotion.

Just like those masters in history, such as Sakyamuni, Bodhidharma, the Sanfeng Patriarch of Wudang, and the Chongyang Patriarch of the Quanzhen Sect, their most powerful thing is actually not their physical cultivation and martial arts, but the Buddhist and Taoist classics they have passed down.

, culture, thoughts, etc. have a subtle influence on the people of later generations.

On the contrary, those "martial saints" and "invincibles" who were praised as miraculous in the martial arts circle were eventually submerged in the dust of history, and are rarely mentioned by anyone now.

…

Chen Jue carried his backpack and spent 80 yuan to buy a ticket. He followed the tourists from Wuyang and Wuyang to visit the temple. He visited Shibapan, Bodhidharma Cave, Tallinn, Sutra-Tibetan Pavilion, etc.

Of course, the temple also arranged for monks to perform martial arts, but most of them were superficial skills. With Chen Jue's current eyesight, he could easily identify which of the seventy-two stunts he was practicing.

In the eyes of ordinary people, these performances are indeed extremely exciting. Just like the jugglers who walked the streets in ancient times. They stabbed their throats with a pistol and smashed rocks in their chests. Their performances could attract bursts of applause, and they could just throw a few coins into the gongs and drums.

.

But in Chen Jue's eyes, it changed its taste. Only a few young monks who knew the one-finger Zen technique and the boy's technique could arouse Chen Jue's interest.

Because in these young monks, Chen Jue could still sense a bit of innocence and sincerity.

"People rely on clothes, and Buddha relies on gold. People always have to have the right amount of food to live!" After walking around in a circle, Chen decided to express his feelings.

After having a fast meal in the temple, Chen Jue sat down to rest his legs and remembered the kung fu documentaries he had watched online before and a secret Shaolin boxing technique mentioned in the boxing classics.

I left the temple and turned to the back mountain of the Shaolin Temple. I climbed up the stairs along an unclimbed path. It took me almost half an hour to reach a high cliff overlooking the entire Shaolin Temple.

There is a temple built of stone here. In front of the temple is a flat dirt field with stones piled up on the edge. It looks like a playground, right next to the edge of the cliff.

On one side of the temple, there are several wheat fields planted by monks. It is autumn now, and the ears of wheat in the wheat fields are growing golden. Several young monks wearing gray coarse cloth monks are leaning over to harvest them with sickles.

Wheat, but their movements of cutting wheat are not ordinary, but have a sense of practicing martial arts in it.

Seeing Chen Jue, a young man dressed like a tourist, appearing, these young monks looked up at him keenly, and then continued to bend over to harvest wheat.

On the other hand, the middle-aged monk who was standing on a high platform watching his disciples cut wheat, when he saw the extraordinary Chen Jue, he let out a light sigh, then slowly walked forward and clasped his palms together and said: "Amitabha! I am

"Looking at the donor, you have doubts in your heart. You don't know where the donor came from and where he is going?"

Chen Jue cupped his fists and returned the salute: "I've met the master! I don't know the name of the master? I also saw how these masters practiced and were very good at cutting the wheat rack, so I stopped and looked at it a few more times. There were many things that offended me.

Please also invite Master Haihan!"

There is a saying in boxing classics: "Tai Chi is evil, Bagua is slippery, and the most ruthless and poisonous mind."

There is no need to say more about the Tai Chi and Bagua in this sentence, but the last thought is that in addition to the seventy-two arts, the Shaolin Temple’s real temple-preserving skills are.

You must know that the Shaolin Temple has experienced several temple-breaking disasters in history, and many martial arts skills have been lost. For example, the dragonfly-pointing water-lifting technique that Chen Jue saw on Monk Yantong before was rumored to have been lost.

Seventy-two unique skills.

If it weren't for the large number of lay disciples in the Shaolin Temple and the wide spread of believers. Whenever the temple was destroyed, it could be rebuilt on the original site and let the lay disciples bring back the skills. I'm afraid the theory of the seventy-two unique skills would have been lost long ago.

Of course, the saying in martial arts novels that "the world's martial arts originated from Shaolin" also comes from the saying that the skills of lay disciples leaked out, which somewhat means to praise the Shaolin Temple.

And this Xinyi Bao, which is known as the unique skill of conquering the temple, is also an excellent boxing technique that relies on the return of lay disciples and is almost on the verge of being lost.

"Amitabha! The donor has good eyesight! These disciples have indeed practiced the skill of cutting the wheat frame with their mind."

"The poor monk, whose name is Jiande, pays homage to the donor! Donor, you must be a Taoist, right? I see that you have outstanding bearing and restrained energy. I think you must be a Taoist master who has obtained the golden elixir and made relics."

Master Jiande clasped his palms together and bowed again. He was obviously a little surprised by Chen Jue's cultivation skills.

You must know that the Taoist people who have combined the golden elixir are on the same level as the Arhats, Bodhisattvas and Buddhas who have combined the relics in Buddhism. Naturally, they are extraordinary in the eyes of Master Jiande.

"The master has a sharp eye!"

"My name is Chen Jue. I practice Chuanquan in An County, Wen City. I want to meet Master Jiande."

Chen Jue returned the favor again. He did not expect that in this inconspicuous stone temple at the back of the Shaolin Temple, there lived such an accomplished monk who could see through his own cultivation at a glance.

I think the other party is an eminent monk who has the "clairvoyance" in Buddhism.

There are six great magical powers in Buddhism, namely, the power of the heavenly eyes, the power of the heavenly ears, the power of other minds, the power of fate, the power of divine realms, and the power of all leakages.

In Chen Jue's view, the "clairvoyance" in this is somewhat similar to the Taoist masters' association of heavenly and human telepathy, fortune telling, fortune telling, and divination. They are all spiritual and spiritual metaphysical methods.

Originally, Chen Jue didn't really believe in such mysterious magical powers, but since he realized the Taoist master's ability to sense heaven and humans, he speculated that these six magical powers mentioned by Buddhism should also exist.

You should know that even the two Huajin masters Li Xiang and Li Wei would find it difficult to detect any abnormalities in his body without Chen Jue's personal disclosure.

However, Master Jiande revealed Chen Jue's current situation at a glance. Presumably it was because he had practiced Buddhism to a very high level and acquired the ability of "clairvoyance."
