Fang Ming was preparing to become a monk, and he went to Shaolin Temple to become a monk!

Among the martial arts sects in the Ming and Qing dynasties, Huashan and Shaolin were still influential at this time, and it seemed that they had retained some martial arts foundation.

But Yuan Chengzhi, a good man from Huashan, hid overseas with a large number of Ma Zi's subordinates to become a foreign citizen. Only He Tiexou even came to the mainland several times and saved a group of female relatives from the banker.

Fang Ming was completely unsure of being able to hit him. As for Gui Xinshu's family? Sorry, those are fools and psychopaths, I won't serve you!

In this way, the Huashan School can be ruled out, and the remaining choice is Shaolin Temple!

Of course, there are still many benefits to choosing Shaolin Temple.

The first one, and the one that Fang Ming values ​​the most, is that the road is close to Shaolin! That’s right! The road is close to you!

Luzhuang Town is located between Luoyang and Zhengzhou, just close to Dengfeng Songshan, which saves Fang Ming a lot of trouble.

In ancient times, traveling was a very hard and dangerous thing. Not to mention the robbers and miasma diseases on the road, the time spent alone was enough to make him collapse.

Among the seven weapons, although Fang Ming knew the advantages of the protagonist and had thought of following the opponent to try his luck, the seven weapons actually have seven stories, which basically happened in the same time period, while the villains were mainly the Qinglong Club.

Fang Ming was just a beggar at that time. Even if he heard the news, how could he have such ability to cross most of the Central Plains?

Even if he arrived, the urine properties inside the ancient dragon would probably be shot by a punch from any expert on the road.

The second advantage of Shaolin is the complete inheritance!

Looking at Jin Yong's martial arts world, Shaolin Temple can be said to be an evergreen tree in the martial arts world. It has been standing firm after many dynasties, and even occasionally produces masters or something.

Moreover, after thousands of years of evolution, the martial arts of Shaolin Temple have absorbed the wisdom of monks of all generations and have reached a point where it is impossible to change. In particular, the basic aspects that Fang Ming pays most are definitely improved to the point that they are not good.

From the foundation, Shaolin Temple has a lot of advancement routes, whether it is the Arhat Hall of boxing, the Prajna Hall of palms, the stick and swords, swords, grasping hands, etc., there are a complete set of them that can be continuously promoted. Finally, there are also the 72 Shaolin skills, the Yijin Jing and other superb skills to choose from, which is what Fang Ming attaches most.

Finally, the influence of Shaolin Temple is too great.

Not only is Jin Yong's novel basically available in every book, but even in Gu Long, Shaolin Temple also plays a very important role, which allows Fang Ming to feel at ease with the connection of martial arts.

Even if he has not learned everything in the world of Deer and Cauldron, he can travel to another world and continue to learn.

Even if the world of Gu Long will be different, the Shaolin Temple in Jin Yong's world is definitely a lineage, so there is no need to worry about the follow-up issues of the martial arts.

With so many considerations, it is normal to choose Shaolin Temple.

Because the road is close, Fang Ming hired a carriage and an escort agency to get under Shaoshi Mountain without any risks.

But what made Fang Ming feel bright was that Shaolin Temple was not something he could enter just if he wanted to.

After paying a visit to the governor, he presented a lot of incense and oil money, and made a request, Shaolin Temple first settled him down, and then sent people to his house to investigate all the eight generations of his ancestors!

Shaolin is extremely strict in choosing disciples, and disciples must be innocent. Then, the elders and the like must send people to their hometown to inquire. Only after confirming that there is no falsehood are allowed to join.

Yuanzhen in the Legend of the Condor Heroes was forced to have no choice but to accept disciples outside and not enter the Shaolin Temple gate. Then there was a guy like Chen Youliang.

Of course, these are just Shaolin Temples that are basically selfless in Jin Yong's novels. As for the reality? Haha...that depends on your opinion...

Fortunately, Fang Ming's wealth is innocent, his origin is even clearer, and there are also certificates issued by the village chief.

More importantly, he lost his father since childhood, lost his relatives, and had no brothers around him. He was also weak and sick. He had been seriously ill before and was possessed by Fang Ming, which is also in line with his own reasons: "Seeing through the world, hoping to become a monk, and admiring Shaolin martial arts!"

After passing five barriers and killing six generals, and after passing many reviews, Fang Ming finally took the lead in Shaolin as he wished and became a preparatory monk!

That's right! What he is receiving now is a novice monk, which can only be regarded as a reserve service, and he does not even have the official title of monk. He still has a long way to go before a real Shaolin monk.

The original meaning of the novice monk in Sanskrit is to be diligent in making a move. It means that one should be diligent in being encouraged by the master and to stop being vicious in doing a kindness. In Fang Ming's view, it is the monk reserve in Shaolin Temple, and it must also be under the jurisdiction of the "reliance master", that is, the master, and even does not have his own Dharma name!

Only after receiving the formal "bhikkhu precept" and giving him a Dharma name can he be considered a glorious Shaolin Temple monk. As for now, he is still a little novice monk! Commonly known as a miscellaneous person.

Fang Ming rolled his eyes in his heart, but was still comforting himself.

"Forget it, I don't like braids anyway, it's just right to shave it! And the novice monks are still his own people, and they are closer than those lay disciples. I don't ask for anything else. At least the introductory skills can be taught, right?"

"After entering Buddhism, you have forgotten both the world! In the State of Lu, you have already received the novice monk precepts. Are you willing to meditate or practice martial arts?"

The kind-eyed old monk asked.

Fang Ming clasped his hands together, his face neither sad nor happy: "I wish to accompany the ancient scroll of the green lamp forever, but my body was not enough, so I had to make a skin bag first!"

"She is crazy! In this way, you will be with those lay brothers and brothers, and you will first carry water and chop firewood every day!"

The old monk raised his eyebrows.

Shaolin Temple is still very welcome to Fang Ming, a scholar who is honest and devoted to Buddhism. He also sees that although Fang Ming is in good spirits, he has weak body and weak energy, and his eyes are slightly sunken. These are all congenital deficiencies. He really cannot study Buddhist principles hard every day, and he must make up for the losses first.

"Receive the decree!" Fang Ming bowed.

...

In the early morning of Shaoshi Mountain, the valleys were still very cold, and white fog rose from time to time around, as if it was a fairyland.

Teams of novice monks in gray clothes and lay disciples with hair were carrying two pointed wooden barrels, holding their hands flat, and rushing towards the mountain in an orderly manner.

This kind of water and wood-cutting course is a compulsory course for getting started in Shaolin. The surrounding mountain people have long been accustomed to it.

At the end of the team, Fang Ming looked sad or happy. He held a wooden barrel in both hands, trying to control the balance of his breathing, but he was not slow at all!

After seeing this, the team leader on the side couldn't help but nodded secretly.

It has been almost three months since I came to Shaolin.

During this period, Fang Ming has been a low-key person. Every day, he not only carries water and chops wood, but also learns martial arts and cultivates muscles and bones.

Of course, Shaolin Temple would not teach any profound skills at the beginning, but Fang Ming knew the truth that hasteness would not be understood. He was very hard-working and focused on laying a solid foundation.

Little did they know that this point coincided with the characteristics of Shaolin martial arts "the foundation is the best, rather than slow down", which made Fang Ming's progress in martial arts no longer slower than some senior brothers who had been in the game for one or two years, and also fell into the eyes of the team leader.

After carrying water and chopping wood as usual, Fang Ming wiped the hot sweat from his body and came to the kitchen hall.

"Junior Brother Lu, your lunch!" A fat-headed and big-eared monk handed a wooden tray to Fang Ming.

"Thank you, senior brother!" Fang Ming bowed together.

There is very little food on the wooden plate, only one porridge and one dish, and there is no meat or fish, but it exudes a strong smell of medicine, which makes people lose their appetite.

Fang Ming seemed to be conscious of anything and was swallowing the food in big mouthfuls.

The first level of martial arts practice is to polish the flesh orifices, pull the tendons and bones, and accumulate essence and energy. In Taoism, it is called "100-day foundation building".

But no matter what, how do you come from the essence? Fang Ming has not yet eaten the wind and dew, so he naturally needs to take it from his diet.

What should I do if Shaolin prohibits eating meat? Two words! Medicinal food!

The monks who wanted to learn martial arts must take herbal diets prepared by the pharmacist monks of the Pharmacist King Buddha Hall every day during the first 100-day foundation building period to make up for their physical losses. Otherwise, they may not have mastered martial arts and will destroy themselves first.

Only after truly joining Shaolin did Fang Ming know how Shaolin had always been able to grasp the strength of the Central Plains martial arts Niu Er, and how he offered to the Eighteen Arhats and Three Hundred Stick Monks. Nothing else! He was rich and powerful!

Shaolin Temple not only receives a large amount of money for indulgence and oil every year, but also has various donations from believers. Even the surrounding farmland is under the name of Shaolin Temple. The farmers at the foot of the mountain are all tenants of Shaolin Temple. Since it is made of the temple, there is no need to pay taxes, so it has attracted a group of refugees to reclaim land.

With such strength, you can kill the enemy with just money!

Of course, since Fang Ming is now a monk from Shaolin Temple, he naturally has a very upright position and wishes that the whole world is the private property of Shaolin Temple. In this way, he can use more precious medicinal materials to support his martial arts practice.

By the way, Fang Ming was a human being in his two lives, and his human nature was far superior to Tongji. He did not use up all the money he earned, but left a part of it on his body. After entering the temple, he was able to use it to give full play to his favor and was very generous.

This medicinal meal that is vaguely three points more medicinal than other peers is Fang Ming's public relations achievement.

After lunch, Fang Ming returned to the meditation room. Of course, it was not a single room, but a large bunk shop. However, his companions were already familiar with each other and naturally knew that he was about to meditate and practice, so no one came to disturb him.

Fang Ming sat cross-legged, his eyebrows and eyes lowered, like those old monks who meditated and recited scriptures, and his face also had a slight sense of solemnity.

A trace of nasal tremor came out of his nasal cavity, which drove the body's qi and blood to transport, and the circulation continued.

This is actually a method of cultivation, which adjusts internal breath and revitalizes qi and blood through meditation.
