Chapter 2445 Teach Us
Manbao and his friends had no idea that their families were worrying about their families' marriages. At this time, they were boating on the lake. Several of them sat in the boat awning, making tea and placing the food they had just bought from the shore on the table.
When the boat floated into the lake, the boatman stopped rowing and let it slowly drift towards the center of the lake.
Several people sat comfortably in the boat, feeling the breeze and feeling extremely happy.
Mingda sat back and watched the people passing by on the shore, saying enviously, "I really envy you guys for being able to come here every day."
Manbao: "No, we are very busy."
Mingda smiled and said, "No matter how busy you are, it's nice to take a ride here and take a walk after leaving the government office."
Manbao said, "Isn't there a lake over at Daming Palace? The lake there is even bigger than this one."
"How can we compare?" Chang Yu said as he ate something. "There's no one selling anything there, and there aren't so many people."
Mingda nodded.
Manbao thought about it and agreed. There is a big difference between shopping on the street and shopping in the palace.
Manbao comforted him, "It's okay, you can do it next year too."
Mingda and Changyu blushed when they heard this.
The two princesses enjoyed the daily life of boating on the lake, eating and drinking, and did not move to the Huguo Temple until it was late.
I received Zhou Man’s post yesterday and have been waiting for their Jie Chen:…
If they had not been together for a long time and had not experienced life and death together, Jie Chen would have suspected that they were playing a trick on him.
Jie Chen stood up from his cushion and walked towards the few people who were looking around for someone. After bowing, he said, "Master Zhou, Master Bai, Master is waiting in the meditation room. Please come in."
His eyes swept across Mingda and Changyu, and he felt that they looked familiar, as if he had seen them somewhere.
A thought flashed through his mind, and Jie Chen took two steps before he remembered that these seemed to be two princesses.
Jie Chen: ...
However, his expression did not change, he just pretended not to know and led them to see Master Zhiren.
Changyu didn't expect that they could actually meet Master Zhiren. She remembered that it was not easy to see him. In the past, apart from her father and grandmother, only her mother could see him occasionally.
Even if the Crown Prince comes, it depends on whether Master Zhiren wants to see him or not.
Changyu quietly asked Manbao, "You and Master Zhiren have such a good relationship."
Manbao whispered, "We have a better relationship with Jiechen."
Jie Chen: ...Nonsense, when did he get along with them? It's obvious that Master talks to them more.
In the minds of Manbao and others, they have a pretty good relationship with Jie Chen. Not to mention that they saved Jie Chen, but Jie Chen also took the risk to save them, right?
So they are friends who have risked their lives for each other.
With this understanding in mind, Bai Shan asked Jie Chen, "Master Jie Chen, you said last time that you learned Kung Fu at Huguo Temple. So, can we learn it by becoming lay disciples?"
Master Jiechen: "...you'll have to ask the abbot about this."
Bai Erlang said rudely: "You said so last time in the Western Regions. Haven't you asked for us yet?"
He was not polite, so Jie Chen didn't hesitate to ask them, "Don't you believe in Buddhism? Why do you want to be a lay disciple of Buddhism?"
"What's the big deal? We can also become Taoist laypeople," Manbao said, "I think you have good kung fu."
She said, "Taoism has a set of health-preserving boxing that can prolong life. I learned it from a Taoist priest in the mountains near our village. If you teach us kung fu, we can teach you the health-preserving boxing."
Jie Chen: "...I don't really want to learn this."
Man Bao said, "I think you would like to learn. You know, I have studied it carefully. The great masters in Buddhism must live long enough. The longer they live, the deeper their understanding of Buddhism and the more people in the world believe in them. If you want to become a master, you must live long enough."
She said, "I've seen your Kung Fu. It's too fierce. Practicing it for a long time is actually harmful to your body. If you don't use it regularly, it's fine. But if you do, your meridians, skin, flesh, and bones will all wear out. You may look young, but your body will look old. You won't live long like this."
Jie Chen's eyebrows jumped because he knew Zhou Man was right.
He was originally a warrior monk, whose job was to protect Master Zhiren. He would never have the chance to come into contact with the profound Buddhist teachings in his life, but he started following his master at the age of eight. Seeing that he had some understanding, his master taught him some principles from time to time.
In addition, he had been with Zhiren for the longest time, so he slowly learned some Buddhist teachings.
But being a monk is still his main path.
The set of Kung Fu he learned was originally the technique of the Wrathful Vajra, which was indeed too fierce and caused some damage to the body.
Man Bao said, "My Taoist Kung Fu is specifically for health preservation. It's not very good for fighting, but it can regulate the muscles and bones of the limbs, and then regulate the breath to nourish the meridians. In my family, from my husband to my nephews and nieces, they usually do the Five Animals Exercises when they don't have time, and practice this set of boxing when they have time. It's very useful."
She highly recommended it, "I'm a doctor, my recommendation can't be wrong."
Jie Chen said, "The technique belongs to Huguo Temple. I dare not teach it without the consent of the abbot, and..."
Jie Chen looked them up and down and said, "You are old, and you can't learn much. At your age, if you want to learn well, you must exert great perseverance and spend a lot of time to hone your body, but do you have the time?"
Jie Chen knew that they were either still studying in the palace or about to take up official positions, not to mention Zhou Man, who had just been released from the imperial farm and would definitely be busy in the future.
Bai Shan said, "We don't need to learn too much. We think you are very strong and have great dodging skills. We just need to learn the basics so that we won't be bullied if we encounter some petty thieves when we go out."
Jie Chen glanced at Daji and other guards following behind and said, "Don't you have guards?"
Especially the one called Daji, he followed them closely. He had seen him in action, and he was very organized. His kung fu was not bad either, and was enough to deal with ordinary masters.
But that's Daji who is handsome, not them.
Bai Shan and the others had seen the guards fighting many times before. To be honest, it was difficult for them to want to learn martial arts from this. At most, they wanted to jump onto the roof by stepping on the wall like Daji.
But after seeing Jie Chen in action, they were surprised to find that martial arts in the world could be so beautiful.
Every move has a peculiar rhythm that is not only pleasing to the eyes but also makes your blood boil.
Even Yin Huo's eyes lit up. If his body didn't allow it, he would have wanted to learn along.
Several people looked at Jie Chen's starry eyes and pointed at the roof and said, "Even if we learn it so that we can fly to the roof in one turn, that would be fine."
Zhiren's laughter came from the front yard, "Jiechen, since the little friends all want to learn, then you can teach them."
Bai Shan and the others' eyes lit up, and they realized that the person who really had the final say was him. They smiled and walked past Jie Chen into the yard to greet Master Zhiren.
See you at 6pm
