chapter 25

Early the next morning, Xuanxin walked out of the abbot's monastery and saw Xuan Yuan sweeping the courtyard.

"Abbot, breakfast is ready."

After seeing Xuanxin, Xuan Yuan hurriedly put down the broom and respectfully greeted him.

It was reverence from the bottom of his heart.

"Where is Xuan Gang?"

Since returning last night, Xuanxin hadn't seen Xuan Gang.

At that time, Xuan Gang, a martial arts fanatic, was still in seclusion.

Xuan Yuan put his palms together and replied, "Eldest Senior Brother is still in seclusion cultivating the Virgin Buddha Embracing Technique."

After all, Xuan Gang was a martial arts fanatic. After obtaining the top-notch ninth-rank internal energy technique, the Virgin Buddha Embracing Technique, he had locked himself in the meditation room for more than a day and a night.

He still hadn't come out of seclusion.

Xuanxin estimated that Xuan Gang should be able to break through to the ninth rank of the martial dao after coming out of seclusion.

"Amitabha."

After chanting the name of Buddha, Xuanxin stepped into the room.

Xuan Yuan, who followed him in, quickly set up the bowls and chopsticks. He poured a bowl of rice for Xuanxin and brought out a dish and a bowl of soup from the pot.

He stir-fried vegetables and boiled tofu soup. Xuanxin's eyes lit up when he saw the change in Shaolin's food.

Yesterday, when he went down the mountain to beg for alms, not only did he bring back fifty thousand taels of silver and silver, but Xuan Yuan also carried all kinds of daily necessities in his big sack.

Some were gifts from the townspeople, and some were purchased by Xuan Yuan himself in the town market.

So this morning, the life of the Shaolin Temple suddenly improved.

The quality of the food had increased in an instant.

No more porridge, rice, vegetables, and soup were all eaten. In the past, Shaolin had such a standard of food.

This was only available during the New Year.

"Let's eat together."

Xuanxin's entire body was energized. He couldn't help but feel his eyes light up and his appetite increase.

With good food, he felt that his life was better.

Previously, as the abbot, he ate millet porridge and pickled vegetables.

It was delicious to eat when one was starving, but it was just plain soup and water, barely enough to fill one's stomach.

Things were different now. The Shaolin Temple was rich and extravagant. They had also improved their living standards and improved the quality of their meals. Not only did they have rice to eat, but they also had stir-fried vegetables.

He even made tofu soup.

Such a standard of food was very extravagant.

Shaolin went from being able to eat to being able to eat until he was full. The next step was to eat well.

After breakfast, Xuanxin returned to his meditation room. Xuan Gang was in seclusion, cultivating the Virgin Buddha Embracing Technique.

Therefore, Xuanxin did not plan to preach the Mahayana Dharma during the morning class.

It wouldn't be too late to wait for Xuan Gang to come out of seclusion.

As the saying goes, sitting for a day and striking the bell for a day, reciting the sutras, reciting the Buddha Dharma and preaching the Buddha Dharma every day was Xuanxin's job as Shaolin's Abbot.

As a monk, one couldn't be idle. Xuanxin believed that his professional ability was still very strong.

"I'd better build the Sect first and get the stone tablet out."

Xuanxin took the jade slip and prepared to go down the mountain to get the stone tablet out first.

The Sect building still had to be done.

This was very important.

This time, Xuanxin did not wear the embroidered kasaya, nor did he take the nine-ringed monk's staff or the purple gold alms bowl.

These three items were all Buddhist treasures. Usually, Xuanxin would put away the embroidered kasaya carefully in the temple.

Xuanxin would only wear the embroidered kasaya on formal occasions or when he went down the mountain and needed to show his divinity in front of people.

Otherwise, in this small mountain temple every day, there were only three monks in total who still wore the embroidered kasaya.

Wearing such good clothes.

Wouldn't that be too showy?

"I'm going down the mountain."

This time, Xuanxin did not plan to bring Xuan Yuan down the mountain. He would make a stone tablet at the foot of the Shaoshi Mountain.

He would not go far.

"Abbot, why are you going down the mountain?"

Xuan Yuan, who did not know why, was anxious. He thought that the abbot was going to go on a long trip again.

Now in Xuan Yuan's heart, Xuanxin was the core of Shaolin and also his spiritual support.

No one could leave the Shaolin Temple without the abbot.

Although the abbot was the reincarnation of Buddha and the Son of Buddha, after all, he was not deeply involved in the world, so Xuan Yuan was still very worried.

"I'll go down the mountain. I'll be back in a moment."

Xuanxin, who was wearing an old gray and thin monk's robe, went down the mountain after saying that.

The mountain road was difficult to walk, especially down the mountain. The Shaoshi Mountain was steep and full of thorns. Even Xuanxin had to cheer up.

On the way down the mountain, he would also feel frightened when he encountered dangerous places.

"I have to repair the road, repair the temple, and buy new monk's robes."

As he went down the mountain, Xuanxin thought about what he needed to do next in the Shaolin Temple.

They were all some basic construction and material needs.

"Eh?"

After going down the mountain, Xuanxin paid special attention to the small shabby thatched hut of the shepherdess not far away.

Under the gaze of the Golden Eyes of Luck, Xuanxin found a very unusual change.

Yesterday, this shabby thatched hut looked like it was on a piece of land with good feng shui. It had a kind of natural harmonious and mysterious beauty.

There was a kind of Taoist Rhyme in it.

Now, looking at it, it did not seem to have such beauty, nor could he feel a trace of mysterious Taoist Rhyme. It was just a very simple and shabby hut.

Xuanxin, who could not understand, could not help but shake his head. He did not want to go over and inquire.

Xuanxin did not want to get into unnecessary trouble.

Xuanxin carefully chose a place near the official road.

"Here will be good."

Xuanxin carefully observed the road that one had to pass to get to Shaoshi Mountain. He set up a stone tablet here.

As long as one passed by on the official road, one would be able to see it.

Taking out the jade slip, Xuanxin closed his eyes and carefully sensed it.

"Amitabha."

After chanting the name of Buddha, the jade slip in Xuanxin's hand disappeared into thin air.

Boom!

A giant white jade tablet, which was ten meters high and two meters wide, with exquisite and mighty carvings, fell from the sky.

Below the white jade tablet, there was a giant black tortoise with exquisite carvings.

It was majestic and mighty. It looked like a giant black tortoise carrying the white jade tablet out of the forest.

"Shaolin Temple!"

Xuanxin could clearly see the three golden words "Shaolin Temple" on the white jade tablet.

The three golden words were majestic.

It was full of Buddhist aura.

It was very eye-catching. Even on the official road, it could be seen clearly.

"It looks good and majestic."

Xuanxin was very satisfied with the sudden appearance of the stone tablet.

It immediately reflected the majesty of Shaolin Temple.

It reflected the high class.

Especially on the official road, people could tell at a glance that this was the road to Shaolin Temple.

After the road was repaired, it would be even more perfect to set up a mountain gate.

"Eh, there are inscriptions on the tablet."

After taking a closer look, Xuanxin found that the back of the white jade tablet was engraved with countless golden words.

There were inscriptions on it.

The world fell into chaos, the world lacked a ruler, the three realms fell, the three Daos were destroyed, and Hell was overturned. Military horses galloped, the Divine Land was in chaos, and demons competed.

The pictures were sealed, and the truth was protected. The goose and the wheel were driven, and the treasure was honored. Therefore, they were able to communicate with Li Shou and turn Chan into a forest. Since Mo came to Su, they all received the favor of Nirvana.

They dared to steal and violate the laws of heaven. They peeped at the Dharma Realm and wantonly committed crimes. Today, the wind blows far away, and the torch of wisdom shines, opening the path of the Eight Righteous Paths and recovering the traces of the Nine Residences.

The Master and others can understand the changes of the situation and know the reason early. They can build Jiayou and return to the blessed land together. They can capture the evil. The Pure Land of Kotz, the obedience, the loyalty, and the service. They can prove the fruit and follow the path of the truth. It is inconceivable to hear it. It is good to provide and reward. It is constant …
