Chapter 1 Senior Brother Wuhua

Chapter 1 Senior Brother Wuhua
"Junior brother! It's midnight and it's time for morning classes. Why are you so greedy for bed today?"

A gentle male voice sounded in the little monk's ears. The voice sounded warm, clean and very kind.The dazed little monk opened his eyes and saw that handsome and flawless face.

"It turns out to be Senior Brother Wuhua. I thought he was the Sandalwood Buddha that I saw! People say that he has red lips and white teeth, and a great appearance. Maybe Senior Brother is his incarnation!" the young monk said jokingly.

"You boy, you are so glib. Get dressed quickly and start your morning classes right away." The senior brother said helplessly.

"Come, come, that's good, that's good." The young monk replied quickly, and then he was led by his senior brother and hurried to the Main Hall...

The little monk sitting on the futon was chanting the Shurangama Mantra numbly while recalling that night three years ago.

"Master! Master! Please save this child." A woman was kneeling anxiously outside the back door of the Shaolin Temple with her child in her arms, begging and shouting.

"Amitabha! The female donor, please get up quickly and let the poor monk see what's wrong with this little donor." An old monk in gray robe walked out of the back door and picked up the child. After checking his eyes and feeling his pulse, the old monk shook his head.

Seeing this, the woman grabbed the monk's trouser legs and begged: "Master, please take a closer look. My baby has always been strong and strong. Today, for some reason, he fainted in the field and never woke up!"

"Hey! Let the poor monk take a closer look." After that, the old monk took off the child's shoes again, pressed the slightly upward position on the inside of the back heel for a while, still frowning, and then put his palm into the child's ankle. In his arms, a smile finally appeared at this moment. "This boy's heart is still warm, and there is still hope."

"Thank you, Master! Thank you, Master!" The woman kowtowed in thanks and took out her only two taels of silver and handed it to the old monk.

"Donor, you don't have to be like this. Not to mention that you are a farmer at the foot of the mountain, and it is Shaolin's duty to protect the soil. Let alone how can such a young life pass away in front of our eyes with the compassion of our Buddha."

The old monk declined and ordered: "Wuhua! Go to the medicine hall to get medicine as the teacher said."

"8 taels of aconite, 4 taels of dried ginger, 4 taels of roasted licorice, 3 taels of Korean ginseng and 5 qian, add fried thick juice and drink, 8 taels of cornus meat..." (Note: One tael in ancient times is equivalent to 13-14 grams now) , 10 qian equals 1 tael)”

After struggling for most of the night, the child finally became conscious, could hear and feel, but could not open his eyes.In confusion, I overheard the conversation between the woman and the monk.

The woman said: "Master! We have two sons and a daughter at home. The eldest son has just passed the Tongsheng examination. All the money is used to educate him. Erya is the stronger one and helps us share a lot of housework."

"My old man came to your temple to deliver food two months ago. He broke his leg on the way back. Thanks to Erya for taking good care of him. The baby was just born and has not been weaned yet. We are really powerless with these three babies. I don't know. Master, can you take in this miserable child?"

Master Tianfeng looked at the child lying on the bed and said softly: "Almsgiver! All dharma returns to fate. The poor monk named Tianfeng is not a monk from Northern Shaolin, but was invited to come here to discuss every matter with Abbot Tianming. The North and South Shaolin Zen Conference is held every ten years."

"Tonight, my little disciple Wuhua, who was studying at the entrance examination school, heard the benefactor calling for help in the back mountain. It seems that this child and I are destined. But once we enter Buddhism and the worldly ties are cut off, will the benefactor be willing to let go?"

When the woman heard this, she was overjoyed at first and then choked up: "Are you willing to give it up? You are willing to give it up! Master, if you don't mind it, take this baby with you. Even if I serve you tea and water, as long as you have food to eat, you can survive."

The woman continued: "Master, please allow me to feed this baby one more time. This baby has a hard life. When he was born, his elder brother Tongsheng was implicated in a fraud case. The family was in a hurry. I don't have any milk. The goat’s milk from the three goats in the family has grown so big.”

"Now that he is leaving, and it is just in time for the baby to be born, let him have a taste of his mother's milk."

Master Tianfeng heard the words, closed his eyes, and sighed softly: "Amitabha!"

The woman picked up the child, and the child clearly felt something soft reaching his mouth. He sucked it gently, but it was sweet. After a few times of exertion, he found that the sweetness was getting less and less, but there was a fishy smell...

When I came back to my senses and thought about it carefully, I realized that the fishy smell at that time must have been the smell of blood. It was clearly because the woman had insufficient milk and the child had used too much force and sucked out the blood.

In fact, neither the woman nor the master knew that when the "three children" were playing wildly in the field that day, the back of their head hit a stone in the field and died, and it was actually Ji Ran who woke up from the dead.

Yes, Ji Ran is a time traveler, not a native of this world.

I was originally a programmer expert at Blue Star, and I was lying dead at home.But as soon as I opened my eyes, I really changed the world and arrived in this world.

Ji Ran first heard that his senior brother's name was Wuhua, but he refused.

Because as a martial arts enthusiast, Ji Ran clearly remembers that there is only one of the Seven Wonderful Monks named Wuhua in the "Chu Liuxiang" series written by the ancient master. In addition, his master is the host of Southern Shaolin. Ji Ran is now in " The world of "Legend of Chu Liuxiang".

But three years later, eight-year-old Ji Ran heard another story, about the Black Fox King, the descendants of the three heroes, and the seal.Isn't this the world of "Chinese Boy"?With a helpless mood, Ji Ran completed today's morning class again...

After finishing morning classes, it was time for the highlight of the day - martial arts training. Because of senior brother Wuhua's "doting" and the irregularity of Blue Star, Tongbian's self-discipline, concentration, patience and carefulness.Ji Ran practices what the senior brother practices, and Ji Ran learns what the senior brother learns.

Maybe it's because the bowl of life-saving medicine was prepared and brewed by the senior brother himself. The senior brother always takes special care and love of Ji Ran.

If Ji Ran remembers correctly, Wu Hua actually has a younger brother in the original work.Ji Ran thought in her heart: "Senior brother regards me as a substitute for his younger brother, and all the love of the eldest brother has been poured into me."

Wuhua is the villain boss in the early stages of the Chu Liuxiang series and is known as the Seven Wonderful Monks. Although Ji Ran still has not been able to find her golden finger after three years of hard work, Ji Ran boldly assumes that this world is by no means the end of time travel, but the starting point. .

What is the most valuable thing about traveling in all realms?treasure?beauty?

Yes, these are rare treasures in every world, but knowledge is the first-order weapon that can travel through all worlds.So Ji Ran is happy to have such a versatile talent as Wuhua around him. He is willing to teach Ji Ran, which is even more lucky for Ji Ran.

Speaking of the seven extraordinary monks, which ones are they?
Monk Wuhua is a famous figure in Buddhism. He is not only excellent in poetry, poetry, calligraphy, painting, tea ceremony, etc., but he is also the most talented among his Shaolin disciples in martial arts. He is known as the "Seven Wonderful Monks". He is known by some famous families in the world. , are all proud to have him as their guest.

Therefore, Ji Ran will learn whatever his senior brother learns. Even if he only learns [-]% and becomes a trumpet with [-]%, he will have a good foundation when he goes to other worlds in the future.

"Junior brother, Shaolin Divine Fist is about being steady and powerful, and the fist can move in all directions. Your fist is weak and weak, like the embroidery of your daughter's house. How can you do it?" Senior Brother Wuhua's scolding came.

"I'm sorry, senior brother, I was distracted just now and thought of other things."

"Martial arts training pays attention to the combination of heart and Qi, the combination of Qi and intention, and the combination of intention and force. Only when the three combinations are integrated can the body follow the mind and the fists move at will."

"You are so careless. Do you have to wait for the enemy's fist to hit your chest and put the knife on your neck before you can take it seriously? This afternoon, you will be punished by standing still for half an hour and copying the "Prajnaparamita Heart Sutra" 10 times!" Wuhua scolded.

"Amitabha!" Helpless Ji Ran could only make her own voice.

"Wuzhen, don't blame senior brother for being harsh. The world is really hard. Without good martial arts, it is extremely difficult to survive in this world."

"You are still young and cannot stay in the temple all the time. If one day you get playful and sneak down the mountain, with your three-legged cat skills, you will die without knowing whether there are any bones left." Senior Brother advised softly. .

That's right, Wu Zhen is Ji Ran's dharma title.

Nothing is true, nothing can be seen as true.

If you see the truth, you see nothing is true.

If you can have your own truth, you will be true if you leave the false.

If one's mind is not separated from the false, where is the true without the true?
If there is truth in your heart, then truth will prevail in all things.If the heart is not true, dreams will come to nothing.Master Tianfeng's expectations for Ji Ran are not low.

After lunch, Ji Ran was still standing still.What about senior brother?
Senior brother is practicing the piano, yes, he is practicing the piano. He is practicing the song "Bodhi Pure Heart" repeatedly under the osmanthus tree in the courtyard with his fingers dancing.It was the hot season of midsummer, but Ji Ran, who was upset, miraculously relaxed her mind and completed the half-hour of corporal punishment.

Ji Ran then followed his senior brother to learn the art of music.

"Wuzhen, I taught you Gong Shang Jiao Zheng Yu last time, which is the foundation of hundreds of sounds. I will give you a few sounds to test you and see how talented you are." Wu Hua completed a song called "Feiyan" "Ling Bo", he said to Ji Ran.

With the help of the previous PC masterpiece "Legend of Martial Arts", which also included voice recognition, Ji Ran could finally recognize it with [-]% accuracy after hard work.

After passing the pitch recognition, Brother Wuhua assigned the homework of continuing to practice the pitch every day, and then began to teach Ji Ran the fingering methods of playing the piano: "The so-called, spread, hook, pick, pick, wipe, hold, and split."

"This is the basic fingering technique for playing the piano. From now on, senior brother will teach you to learn the piano for an hour every day. You must be prepared."

"One hour for morning class, two hours for morning practice, one hour for lunch break, one hour for afternoon piano practice, one hour for evening class, and two hours for copying sutras in the evening."

"On this day, I have eight hours to be busy. The only four hours left are one hour to meditate and practice internal energy, and three hours to sleep."

"Senior brother, you will lose your junior brother if you are so strict with him. Children will not grow up if they don't get enough sleep." Ji Ran complained to Wu Hua's arm.

"When will you be better than my brother, when will you be able to make your own decisions?" Wuhua smiled slightly and said nonchalantly.

In the distant attic, Master Tianfeng, who watched this scene every day, couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "Sure enough, letting Wuhua take care of this child is the right thing to do. I hope this can resolve the darkness in his heart!"

After the evening class, Ji Ran, who didn't want to copy scriptures, ran to Wuhua and said, "Senior brother, senior brother! Let me tell you a story."

After hearing this, Wuhua was very interested and said, "Oh? You, a little novice, have never come down from the mountain. How can you tell this story? Please tell me."

"If it's really interesting, tomorrow senior brother will teach you the front-positioned one-finger Zen technique. If you talk nonsense, be careful that senior brother will punish you."

After hearing this, Ji Ran smiled slightly and said: "Once upon a time, there was Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva. On the way to find, explore, and practice Buddhism, he discovered that if the five aggregates can be emptied together, he can avoid pain and disaster."

"All the beauty and happiness have become empty. Through the void, all the beauty and happiness can be discovered. Everything you think, do, your spirit and will, and even everything that can be seen and cannot be seen, are all empty." It can evolve into this.”

"Since emptiness can transform itself into everything, then the so-called birth and death, dirty and pure, love and hate, these opposites that cannot be unified have no meaning of comparison, because the meaning is just In your heart.”

"It's like a person has a dream of making the whole family happy, but in the process of pursuing his dream, he finds that he needs power to realize his dream."

"But for the sake of power, he forced his younger brother to marry someone he didn't love, and forced his younger sister to marry a playboy. This is reversing the process and expectations, or it can be called reversing the dream..."

After listening to Ji Ran's vernacular "Heart Sutra", Wuhua also fell into deep thought, right?But Junior Brother Wuzhen didn't even explain the five aggregates (the five aggregates are called the five aggregates by feeling, thinking, conducting, knowing, and forming).

It may not be correct, but my junior brother cleverly transformed Prajna Paramita into a path of searching, exploring, practicing and finally obtaining it.

This is obviously a great wisdom.When I think about it carefully, it seems that my junior brother is expressing something to me or trying to persuade me, but I have no way of confirming it.

Maybe he was overthinking it, after all, his junior brother was only eight years old.Forget about teaching him the "One Finger Zen Technique" tomorrow.

Just like that, another ten years passed in the blink of an eye.

Ten years later, 23-year-old Wuhua stood at the gate of Southern Shaolin and said to Ji Ran: "Junior brother! I am going down the mountain for this trip, and I will bring you delicious food back. Remember to practice well and understand Buddhism well."

"When you come back from your travels, if you fail the school entrance examination, my senior brother will beat you so hard that you won't be able to get out of bed for three days."

After more than ten years of getting along, the influence of the childish nature on Ji Ran became weaker and weaker as she grew older, and she eventually turned into a dull gourd. After all, there was a soul who was nearly forty years old living in that body.

"Amitabha! Senior brother's trip is unpredictable. I hope that senior brother will not forget his relatives in the temple and wait for your return. No matter how cold the autumn wind is, the flowers in Nanlin Temple will bear no fruit." Ji Ran clasped his hands and bowed to Wuhua: "Senior brother !treasure!"

"Your senior brother was just invited to go to Northern Shaolin to participate in this North-South Zen seminar. Why do you say that misfortunes and blessings are unpredictable?" Master Tianfeng asked in confusion.

"Master, it has been 13 years since I entered the temple as a disciple. All these years, my senior brother has been taking care of and teaching me, so I can also see that there is darkness in my brother's heart. Although the darkness in my brother's heart has disappeared a lot over the years, the seeds have not been removed. After all, it will take root and sprout. I'm afraid that senior brother's trip will be bloody.

The disciple recently discovered that the "Bodhi Heart Sutra" has been completed, and he hopes that the master can teach the disciple the two skills of "Arhat Subduing Demons Kung Fu" and "Vajra Indestructible Body Magic Kung Fu". "

Ji Ran calmly said to Master Tianfeng: "Disciples have read the relevant classic "Arhat's Demon Subduing Technique" and need to be calm and calm before practicing it. It mainly cultivates the two qi of yin and yang in the body, so that the yin and yang cycle is endless. It is no less powerful than the "Yi Jin Jing"."

"The "Vajra Indestructible Body Divine Skill" is a wonderful skill of our temple. It can be practiced both internally and externally to temper the body and Qi. When performing the skill, the whole body is as strong as gold and iron, and it is difficult to be injured. One of these two skills is internal, and the other is external. Disciples think it is OK Fellow practitioners.”

"Furthermore, I feel that my senior brother's departure may bring bad luck. Even if I cannot help you, I still hope that I can bring his ashes back."

"Are you planning to continue practicing the second skill once you have achieved the true qi if there is no conflict? If there is a conflict, then find a teacher to practice the "Yi Jin Jing" to resolve the different types of true qi? You know, this is not in line with Shaolin rules." Tian Master Feng said in a deep voice.

"Master, forgive me. After all, this is Southern Shaolin, and Master, you are the presiding abbot. As your direct disciple, my privileges should not cause too much of a stir."

Ji Ran still looked at Master Tianfeng gently and calmly. "Master, I think you know some things better than the disciples. No matter what happens in the future, you are still my master, and he is still my senior brother."

"The flowers in Nanlin Temple have no fruit. What is missing is neither flowers nor cause and effect!"

 Xiaodao New Book, thank you for your continued support and love!
