With the help of the Yang family's marksmanship, I penetrated the world of martial arts

Chapter 100 100. The Lenga Sutra

"Really, Master Yang did say so."

In the abbot's room, Wu Bing said so, Tian Ming waved his hand after hearing it clearly, motioning him to leave.

Then the natural monk took a look at Abbot Tianming, and said, "I admire Shaolin, like Buddhist scriptures, and are willing to spend energy on learning Sanskrit. Doesn't this Yang Chen want to join my Shaolin?"

"Junior brother, what do you think about this?" Tian Ming asked without expressing his opinion.

"I heard from Gang Leader Huang that this Yang Chen has mastered the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms. He is a genius if he thinks about it. If he is willing to convert to Buddhism, it will be Shaolin's fortune."

Tianming nodded, and a look of pain flashed in his eyes, "Yes, Shaolin Temple is thirsty for talent now, after all, since the accident 40 years ago, its strength has been greatly reduced, and it even had to close the temple to hide from the world, so we can only watch helplessly. Follow the Quanzhen teaching to make it bigger."

Although it is a closed temple, Shaolin Temple always pays attention to the rumors in the world. On the surface, it acts in a low-key manner, but secretly never forgets to recruit talents to strengthen Shaolin's strength.

The senior management of Shaolin Temple held back all their strength, and when their savings were strong enough, they would be born brazenly and climb to the top of the martial arts world again.

"Junior Brother, tomorrow you will try to see if what he said is true. Those Buddhist scriptures are precious, if they can attract people with high roots for Shaolin, that would be a great kindness."

Naturally replied: "Please follow the abbot's decree!"

……

In the meditation room, Huang Rong was relieved after receiving Yang Chen's guarantee.

Dong dong dong, there was a knock on the door, "Two benefactors, I'm here to bring you a vegetarian meal."

Hearing the sound, Huang Rong hurriedly got up from Yang Chen's body and moved aside.Then he cleared his throat and said, "Come in!"

The door was pushed open, and a disciple in a gray robe and light yellow cassock came in, holding a food box in his hand.

"Two benefactors, there are many rules when eating fast in the temple, so I don't invite you to go. Please don't dislike these fast meals."

Huang Rong said with a smile: "We are members of the beggar gang, we are already very happy to know Shaolin Zhaifan, how dare we dislike it?"

The monk put the food box on the table, clasped his hands together, and said: "You two, please use it slowly! Some disciples will come to clean it up later." Then he backed out again.

"Thank you!"

Yang Chen opened the food box, inside was rice and some vegetarian dishes.

Huang Rong took out the food and put it on the table, "Taste how it tastes."

After speaking, he handed the chopsticks to Yang Chen.

Yang Chen took it in his hand, tasted it briefly, and praised: "After all, it is Shaolin Temple. The taste of this vegetarian meal is not inferior to that of a restaurant."

Huang Rong laughed and said, "After all, it's a monastery with hundreds of people. If it's not done well, I'm afraid it will cause public outrage!"

"That's true."

……

The next day, the natural monk came back with no illness, and today he will take Huang Rong to watch the beautiful scenery of the peaks of Shaoshi Mountain.

However, after greeting Huang Rong, he asked Yang Chen, "Listen to Wu Bing, Master Yang is proficient in Sanskrit?"

Yang Chen nodded and said, "Fortunately, I learned some from Master Yideng."

Afraid that Tianran would not know who Yideng was, Huang Rong specially reminded: "The Southern Emperor Duan has abdicated to hide from the world and become a monk. His dharma name is Yideng."

"The Duan family in Dali has always had the habit of becoming a monk. Unexpectedly, Emperor Duan is no exception."

The Duan family in Dali has always worshiped Buddhism, and they have a good relationship with Shaolin Temple, so they are naturally a little surprised, but it's not because Emperor Duan became a monk, but because Yang Chen and Yang Chen still have friendship with the Southern Emperor.

But in this way, naturally, he has a deeper understanding of Yang Chen's worship of Buddhism.

"Brother Abbot said yesterday: Since Benefactor Yang has the heart to seek the Buddha, there is no harm in showing him the original Buddhist scriptures."

Yang Chen clasped his hands together and performed the Buddhist salute, "Thank you, Abbot Tianming, and Master Tianming."

Naturally, Wu Bing took Yang Chen to the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion. The two got to know each other a lot this time, so Yang Chen chatted with him a few more words.

When he arrived at the Sutra Pavilion, he found a young monk without any illness, "Benefactor Yang, Jueyuan is in charge of cleaning and sorting out the books in the Sutra Pavilion, and he knows the number of scriptures in the pavilion best. If there are books you want to read, you can let him Find it for you."

"Jueyuan?" Yang Chen repeated in his mouth.

"It's the little monk." Jue Yuan responded.

Jueyuan, Yang Chen is naturally no stranger, the first person to practice the Nine Suns Manual, and also Zhang Sanfeng's enlightenment master in Yitian Tulongji.But at this time, he was only in his teens, a little younger than Wubing.

But Yang Chen knew at a glance that Jue Yuan had no internal strength at this time, presumably he hadn't discovered the Nine Suns Sutra in the "Lengjiao Sutra"; or he had read it but hadn't practiced it yet.

Yang Chen said to Jue Yuan: "Master Jue Yuan, can you find the original Buddhist scriptures in the Sutra Pavilion for me, so that I can read them later."

As for why it was later, because he hadn't finished the book he was looking for yesterday, so naturally he had to read it first before reading anything else.

Jue Yuan showed hesitation, and finally said: "Originally? Benefactor Yang, those are all written in Sanskrit, I'm afraid you can't understand them!"

Yang Chen was about to explain, but impatiently said without illness: "You can take it if you let me, why are you talking so much?"

Although Jueyuan is of the same generation as Wubing, his status is very different.Just because he is rigid and doesn't like to practice martial arts, no Zen master of the "Tian" generation would accept him as an apprentice.Without the dharma name of "nothing", he can only do some chores in the temple.

After being told by Wu Bing, Jue Yuan immediately lowered his head and said, "Yes, Senior Brother." Then he went to look for scriptures.

After Wubing said something to Yang Chen, he went to study by himself.Yang Chen also returned to the place where he stayed yesterday, and continued to read the scriptures he had read yesterday.

Not long after, Jueyuan held a few simple books and placed them in front of Yang Chen.

"Benefactor, the original Buddhist scriptures you want."

Yang Chen picked up the Buddhist scriptures, and saw that these Buddhist scriptures were wrapped in a Chinese cover, with the Chinese name of the Buddhist scriptures written on it.With such a packaging method, if someone is not familiar with the location of the scriptures, it is really difficult to find them from the sea of ​​books.

After reading the Chinese titles of a few books, Yang Chen didn't find what he wanted, so he raised the scripture book in his hand, and the words "Langa Sutra" happened to be written on it.

"Little master Jueyuan, I heard that when the second patriarch Hui Ke learned the way of Buddhism with Patriarch Bodhidharma, he followed this "Langa Sutra" to understand his mind and see his nature. I don't know if the Sanskrit original of "Langa Sutra" is available in the pavilion?"

Jueyuan pondered for a while, and then said: "Yes, I'm going to find it for the benefactor."

Soon, Jueyuan came back with four thin scriptures, on which were written several sinuous Sanskrit characters.

"Benefactor, this is the original script of the Sri Lanka Sutra written by Bodhidharma."

Yang Chen took it in his hand, and after opening the book, he saw that the original script of the "Langa Sutra" was written in Sanskrit, but between each line, it was filled with Chinese characters.

Seeing Yang Chen flipping through the scriptures, Jueyuan said to himself: "There are four Chinese translations of the "Langa Sutra", and there are still three of them in this world. They were translated by Nabhathara in the Liu Song Dynasty, and Bodhi in the Yuan and Wei Dynasties. It was translated by Liuzhi and translated by Baocha Nanda in the Tang Dynasty. Among these three translations, the seven volumes of the Tang Dynasty's "Mahayana Entering the Lenga Sutra" is the most clear and easy to understand. How about I get seven volumes of Lenga for the benefactor, or three Get all the translations?"

Knowing that Jue Yuan had good intentions, Yang Chen smiled and said, "No need, I can understand Sanskrit."
