Chapter 897 The mighty Tianlong!
But it was said that Nie Changchuan was tied to a wooden board and flowed down the river until he was at the foot of Jinshan Temple, where he was stopped by a rock.
There is an elder in Jinshan Temple, known as Monk Faming, who has attained the secret of non-life through cultivation and enlightenment.
While he was meditating, he suddenly dreamed of a child being abandoned in the river. He was heartbroken and hurriedly woke up and went to the riverside to watch.
I saw a piece of wood in the river stuck on the edge of the stone, with a baby tied to it. He was neither crying nor fussing, just staring at the sky.
Monk Faming looked surprised and immediately jumped up to rescue him with a light body.
The baby was held in Monk Faming's arms, and he finally recovered from the intense and exciting experience of the past two days.
He stared with big black eyes, and when he saw Monk Faming's bald head clearly, his face suddenly became horrified, and he struggled hard, unable to resist.
Monk Faming thought he had frightened the baby, so he immediately chanted the name of the Buddha and began to chant sutras for the baby.
After a while, the baby boy's eyelids fluttered and he fell into a deep sleep.
Monk Faming breathed a sigh of relief, and then took out the blood letter. After reading the text, he knew the origin of this son.
"So it turns out that he is also a poor person..."
Monk Faming sighed softly, then looked at the sleeping baby boy and said, "It is not convenient for a monk to interfere in the world, let alone in the court. Since you were saved by a poor monk, you are destined to have a relationship with the Buddha."
"Before you grow up, become a novice monk in my Jinshan Temple!"
After saying this, Monk Faming gave the baby boy a nickname, Jiang Liuer.
Since then, Jiang Liuer has lived in Jinshan Temple and been raised by many monks.
At first, Jiang Liuer, or Nie Changchuan, who only had the memory of a time traveler, refused.
He has discovered his identity, and naturally he does not want to follow the old path and become the Tang Monk who seeks Buddhist scriptures from the West.
However, as time went by, he was gradually burdened by the upbringing of Jinshan Temple, and because he was young and weak, he was unable to take revenge, so he could only stay in Jinshan Temple temporarily, waiting for the opportunity to leave.
The peaceful days lasted until Nie Changchuan was five years old.
At that time, he was sitting next to Monk Faming, listening to the morning scriptures at Jinshan Temple.
At this moment, the Buddha statue in the temple suddenly glowed with golden light. The monks were shocked, thinking that the Buddha had appeared, so they quickly knelt down and worshiped.
Xiao Nie Changchuan sat next to Monk Faming, looking at the golden Buddha statue with a shocked expression.
Although he had been mentally prepared and knew that this might be a world of gods and demons, when he saw such a strange phenomenon with his own eyes, Xiao Nie Changchuan couldn't help but be shocked.
Suddenly, the golden light on the Buddha statue condensed and turned into a golden dragon, swimming on the temple beams.
The next moment, in the shocked eyes of all the monks, the golden dragon let out a long roar, then jumped straight down and flew straight into Xiao Nie Changchuan's body.
Xiao Nie Changchuan's eyes widened, and suddenly he fainted.
Many monks from Jinshan Temple were shocked and gathered around him.
The abbot of Jinshan Temple was filled with excitement and quickly asked Monk Faming to check Nie Changchuan's body.
When he took off his monk's clothes, he saw a gleaming golden dragon tattooed on his fair and young back!
"Amitabha, Amitabha!"
The abbot chanted the Buddha's name and paced back and forth, his face full of excitement.
Immediately afterwards, he stopped and looked at the monks with a solemn face and said: "This matter must not be taught to outsiders. Jiang Liu'er has wisdom and is valued by the Buddha. In the future, he will become an eminent monk of our Buddhist sect and a pillar of our protection." !”
Monk Faming was shocked when he heard this and said quickly: "But the abbot..."
The abbot turned his eyes and stared at him, Monk Faming, as if he didn't want him to say the following words.
Monk Faming's expression changed, but in the end he sighed and agreed.
From then on, in order to prevent Nie Changchuan from knowing his life experience, the abbot even went against his will and asked for a blood letter from monk Faming.
However, he is an eminent monk after all. Although he is dedicated to Buddhism, he also has a sense of right and wrong.
The blood book was just hidden somewhere in Jinshan Temple and was not completely destroyed by him.
He thought that everything would be fine this way, but unfortunately, what he didn't know was that Jiang Liu'er was born with knowledge and was a miraculous person. He didn't need a blood letter to know his life experience.
The next day, Nie Changchuan woke up in Monk Faming's room.
He sat up suddenly and looked at the wall in front of him with a confused expression.
After being comatose, he did not fall into a deep sleep. Instead, he entered a silver space that was like a dream, where he saw a golden figure practicing a set of techniques.
Nie Changchuan had a mature mind and immediately understood that this was probably the golden dragon teaching him the Dharma.
Although he knew that this technique was probably a Buddhist magical technique, in a world like this, he had no choice.
It's better to have some skills than no skills at all, right?
Therefore, Nie Changchuan made a decisive decision and began to study seriously.
It wasn't until he learned this technique in this dream world that he finally woke up.
""Eight Dragons"..."
"Is this my golden finger?"
Nie Changchuan clenched his fists, and there was a faint golden dragon swimming in his eyes.
At this time, he still didn't know how shocking it was that he had learned this skill in just one day.
After that, Nie Changchuan began to secretly practice the Eightfold Heavenly Dragon Kung Fu in Jinshan Temple.
The monks in the temple respected Nie Changchuan who was only five years old because of the "Buddha's Apparition". The abbot of Jinshan Temple even made an exception and ordained him when he was five years old, giving him the Buddhist name Xuanzang.
...He still became this Chen Xuanzang!
Nie Changchuan sighed inwardly, but did not refuse.
After all, the exercises he practiced were indeed Buddhist magical powers, so what if he had to give them a name?
Time flies by, and in the blink of an eye, another eight years have passed.
Nie Changchuan has become a thirteen-year-old boy, and due to the Eight Heavenly Dragon Skills, he was born tall and tall, nearly nine feet tall.
The muscles all over his body are so strong that he can run a horse on his arms and stand on his fists.
When people from all over the country saw him, they all praised him as a good man. If he had been born a few years earlier, he would not have been able to follow His Majesty the Tang Emperor in the north and south, and achieve great achievements with his military exploits.
It's a pity that this child became a Samana at a young age.
I don’t know how the clear soup and lack of water in Jinshan Temple raised him to look like this.
In fact, people at Jinshan Temple don't know how Nie Changchuan grew up like this by relying on wild vegetables and rice.
Only the abbot of Jinshan Temple and monk Faming knew that this kid often sneaked into the back mountain and hunted game to fill his stomach with a pair of iron fists.
Another day, Monk Faming smelled the aroma of barbecue in the back mountain and looked for it angrily. Sure enough, he saw a strong young man sitting on the shore, grabbing a roasted pig leg and eating it with gusto.
Seeing this scene, Monk Faming burst into anger and immediately shouted: "You evil disciple, why don't you quickly follow me back to the temple and face the wall!"
Nie Changchuan moved his hands for a moment, glanced at Monk Faming, and said with a smile: "It turns out to be Master. I was shocked. I thought it was the bald abbot. Don't be anxious. Wait until I finish eating." Master, go back and face the wall!"
Monk Faming laughed angrily: "Waiting for you to finish eating...Have you forgotten all the rules and precepts of Jinshan Temple?"
Nie Changchuan put down the pork leg and said with a frivolous expression: "I don't have meat in my heart, so it's okay to eat it. But Master, you talk about rules and regulations, but it's hard to say it in your heart!"
Monk Faming was startled for a moment, then sighed: "Xuan Zang, you have wisdom and Buddha nature, why can't you use it on the right path?"
"What is the right path?" Nie Changchuan asked, "Eating fast, chanting Buddha's name, chanting sutras and meditating, is this the right path?"
"My disciple doesn't think so. I think that walking out of the mountain gate, observing the suffering of the world, and doing good deeds to accumulate virtue is the right path!"
Hearing Nie Changchuan's words, Monk Faming felt very relieved.
But he still shook his head and said: "You have been eloquent since you were a child, but you can't speak nonsense as a teacher."
"I know you have always wanted to go down the mountain, but you are still young after all. You don't know the intrigues and sufferings under the mountain. When you grow up in the future, become more advanced in Buddhism, and become a teacher and abbot, they will let you go down the mountain..."
Nie Changchuan looked at him deeply and suddenly said: "Is it really because of this?"
Monk Faming's heart skipped a beat, and then he fell silent.
Seeing Master's reaction, Nie Changchuan sighed softly and said: "Monks don't lie, so whenever I ask about my life experience, Master, you will remain silent. This is why you can't be an abbot!"
Monk Faming's pupils shrank and he blurted out: "Have you asked the abbot?"
Nie Changchuan smiled and said: "The abbot is much better than you, master. When he answered me, his face didn't turn red and his heart didn't beat!"
Monk Faming fell silent, not knowing what to say.
Nie Changchuan picked up the pig leg and gnawed it all away, then washed his hands in the river and stood up.
"Master." Nie Changchuan looked at Monk Faming and said seriously, "I am staying here just to wait for you to come. After eating this pig leg, my disciple will say goodbye and go down the mountain to take revenge in Jiangzhou!"
As soon as these words came out, Monk Faming's pupils shrank. After a moment of shock, he looked at Nie Changchuan with a complicated face.
"You know everything?"
"Um."
"...How is the abbot doing?"
"He's fine." Nie Changchuan said softly, "I didn't learn the truth from the abbot, but after practicing deeply, I remembered the memories of my childhood on my own."
"The scene of my mother giving birth to me in her own room, the scene of my master rescuing me from the river, all these past events are still vivid in my mind..."
Hearing these words, Monk Faming was obviously relieved, but he still looked at Nie Changchuan with complicated eyes.
"When you were five years old, the Buddha appeared and gave you magical powers. I know that you are now a master of magical powers, and I can't stop you, but I, the Jinshan Temple, have always had strict discipline. As the elder of Jinshan Temple, I won't allow you to be presumptuous!"
As he spoke, he took out an eyebrow-level stick, assumed the posture of a demon-suppressing stick, and shouted: "If you want to go down the mountain, you must first pass the test of becoming a teacher!"
Seeing this scene, Nie Changchuan let out a long sigh, clasped his hands together, and recited the Buddha's name.
The next moment, his eyes widened with anger, he pushed out with a palm, and said: "The mighty Tianlong!"
In an instant, an extremely huge golden dragon flew out from his palm, let out a shocking dragon roar in mid-air, then opened its teeth and claws, and flew majesticly towards Monk Fa Ming.
"boom!!"
There was a loud noise and the ground shook.
The golden dragon passed by Monk Faming and leveled the forest with a radius of 100 meters, as well as the hills with a height of 100 meters.
Nie Changchuan, with his solemn appearance, stood there with one hand raised, looking at the dull-faced monk Faming and said seriously: "Amitabha, when my disciple avenges the blood of his parents, he will return to the mountain and let the master do whatever he wants."
After saying that, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times to Monk Faming without hesitation. Then he stood up, picked up the Zen staff with the roasted pig on it, and strode past Monk Faming to the county seat at the foot of the mountain. .
