Shaolin Temple has become a famous scenic spot, and many people come to visit it. Before reaching the bottom of the mountain, they met groups of tourists going up the mountain led by the tour guide.

Tickets are 180 yuan per person, which is not too much for a few people, but the price is not low when looking at scenic spots across the country.

The fat man shook his ticket and said, "One hundred and eighty people per person. Although I can't estimate how many tourists there are every day, there are quite a lot of them. I think you can earn a lot of money if you come to Shaolin Temple for a day."

In fact, what everyone does not know is that on July 2011, 7, Songshan Shaolin Temple signed a loan with Bank of China Henan Branch to borrow 24 million yuan.According to the content of the contract signed by both parties, Bank of China will provide Shaolin Temple with medium and long-term working capital support of not less than 1 million yuan to meet the needs of Shaolin Temple’s daily operation. , M&A loans and other financial services.Zhengzhou Development Zone Sub-branch of Henan Branch of Bank of China revealed that the main purpose of the loan from Songshan Shaolin Temple is for the repair of Shaolin Temple.A loan of 1 million yuan only weighs on tickets for three years, so it can be seen that the income from tickets for one year is definitely more than 4000 million yuan.

Yang Wanli said with a smile: "This is also a famous scenic spot in the whole country. It would be strange if it doesn't make money."

Wang Gui also said in a rare speech: "This is still under the condition that the reputation of Shaolin Temple has been damaged."

"Reputation is damaged, what do you say?" Fatty asked curiously.

Wang Gui said: "Some time ago, it was rumored on the Internet that the abbot of Shaolin Temple went down to prostitutes, and it was made up by people, and there were pictures as true thoughts. The rumors on the Internet have had a bad impact on the reputation of Abbot Shi Yongxin, and on the ancestral Zen family. The reputation of the Shaolin Temple and the image of the Shaolin Sangha have also been greatly damaged, and many celebrities have even been implicated innocently. It was only after the law enforcement agencies intervened in the investigation that the stigma was cleared for the Shaolin Temple.”

"Pfft." The fat man who had just taken a sip of water couldn't help but spit it out, his eyes widened and he said, "The abbot of Shaolin Temple went down the mountain to go whoring? This rumor-monger is really talented."

"Speak carefully." Zhang Taiping said.After all, this place is under the gate of Shaolin Temple, so it is very inappropriate to talk about these things.

The fat man held back his laughter, but the expression on his face was very weird.

For the sake of convenience and freedom, a few people did not follow the tour guide, but bought tickets to enter the scenic spot and play casually.But when he came to a group of tourists, he stopped.

The tour guide of this tour group is explaining to the tourists the things to avoid after entering the Shaolin Temple.Zhang Taiping and others didn't understand anything about it, so they stopped to listen.

The tour guide said: "There are four taboos when visiting Shaolin Temple."

This is a group of young people who came here to visit the mountains and rivers rather than admire the Dharma. They don’t have much respect for temples. Someone asked with a smile: "The four taboos, are they abstinence from sex and killing?"

The tour guide glanced at him, the smile on his face faded a bit and said: "Probably that is what it means. First, the monks and Taoists in the temple should be respected as "teacher" or "mage", and the presiding monk should be called "elder." ", "Abbot", "Zen Master". Avoid being directly called "monk", or even other insulting names. Second, the common way of saluting when meeting a monk is to fold your hands together, bow your head slightly, or place one hand vertically in front of your chest, Keep your head slightly low, and avoid improper etiquette such as shaking hands, hugging, and touching the monk's head. Third, when talking with monks and Taoists, you should not mention killing words, marriage, and eating fishy meat, etc., so as not to arouse monks' resentment Fourth, when visiting temples, do not make loud noises, point and comment, mock or walk around, or move around the temple objects. It is especially forbidden to touch and carve god statues randomly. I hope everyone can pay attention to the four points, respecting others is also respecting yourself."

"Is there any other taboo? Let's talk about it together, otherwise it won't be good if we accidentally break the taboo and be beaten out by the monk inside. Haha." But he stopped laughing twice, because Everyone else looked at him strangely.

The tour guide frowned and said, "That's all I'm going to talk about now, and I'll tell you about some other things that need to be paid attention to later."

Zhang Taiping thought in his heart that from the words and attitude of the tour guide, the monks in Shaolin Temple are not as bad as the rumors outside.After thinking about it, I was relieved, no matter what kind of group there are black sheep, and I can't generalize just because I saw some examples.Put away the indifference in my heart and become solemn, just like the tour guide said just now, respecting others is also respecting oneself.

After entering the scenic spot, the group of tourists went straight to the hospital under the guidance of the tour guide, but Zhang Taiping and the others were not in a hurry to go up the mountain, and went to see the martial arts gym below the mountain.

This martial arts hall is also one of the landscapes of Shaolin Temple. It is a place for teaching martial arts prepared by Shaolin Temple.The reputation of Shaolin martial arts even overshadows Buddhism to a certain extent. Many people will send their children to learn martial arts. It does not mean that they let their children shave their heads and follow the monks in Shaolin Temple while practicing martial arts while eating fast and chanting Buddha. It was sent to the martial arts hall in Shaolin Temple.

You can hear the shouting inside from a distance, and when you walk in, you can see rows of children wearing yellow short skirts punching and punching, and shouting while punching, it is a bit imposing for many people to be together.

Although I can learn some things here, it is mainly for physical fitness, and the nature of the performance is a bit stronger.Zhang Taiping estimated that those who can learn the true teachings of Shaolin Temple must have shaved heads.

Just as he guessed, the disciples of Shaolin Temple are also divided into outer disciples and inner disciples. Although the modern society does not place much importance on these, these children who have learned martial arts in the martial arts hall can barely be regarded as Shaolin disciples. Naturally, it is some fur that can strengthen the body.The real kung fu can only be transmitted by inner disciples who live in the temple. These disciples are all orphans adopted by the temple since childhood, and they are destined to inherit the mantle of Shaolin Temple in the future.

Yang Wanli said to the fat man: "If you don't have time to send your kid here to study for a few years, at least you don't have to worry about growing up to the same figure as you."

The fat man curled his lips and said, "Learning martial arts is definitely for children to learn martial arts, but what does this have to do with my figure?"

Yang Wanli directly ignored the second half of his sentence, and asked slightly surprised: "Are you really willing to send your kid here to learn martial arts?"

"What's wrong with learning martial arts?"

"It's not that learning martial arts is bad." Yang Wanli shook his head and said, "It's just that you are willing to let your kid stay here alone?"

"Who said learning martial arts has to come here?" Fatty said with a smile, "Why bother to look far away, isn't the commander-in-chief the best master?"

"Sigh." Yang Wanli patted his forehead and said, "I actually forgot about the handsome man. Hey, I will also let my kid study with the handsome man for a few years."

Zhang Taiping smiled and said: "I teach my apprentices very strictly, you are not afraid that your precious lump will be exhausted by then?"

The fat man shook his head indifferently and said: "As the so-called jade is not carved, you will clean it up severely. As long as it doesn't break it, you can clean it up." Seeing his face wrinkled slightly, it was obvious that these words were meant Determined to speak out.

Zhang Taiping thought what he said before was just a joke, slightly surprised and asked: "Do you really want your child to learn martial arts from me?"

"Really." The fat man said, "I've already told my wife about this matter, let the children learn kung fu with you for a few years, not to mention that they can support the strong and help the weak, at least they can strengthen their bodies, right?"

After probably visiting the martial arts hall, we headed towards the temple on the mountain.

The Shaolin Temple is backed by Wuru Peak, surrounded by mountains, and the peaks are connected in a patchwork order, forming a natural barrier of the Shaolin Temple.The east of Songshan is Taishi Mountain, and the west is Shaoshi Mountain. Each has 36 peaks, and the peaks are famous.The temple is located in the dense forest at the foot of Shaoshi Mountain, hence the name Shaolin Temple.

Since it is not on the top of the mountain, you can see the temples not far from the foot of the mountain from the bottom of the mountain, which are hidden by trees, so it doesn't take much effort to climb up.

However, when the fat man climbed to the front of the temple gate, there was still a dense layer of fine sweat on his forehead.
