I am collecting entries in reincarnation

Chapter 29: Legal Response
The next morning.

Li Ming slowly opened his eyes. With more than 40 years of experience in practicing the "Arhat Divine Art" and his physique doubling and even turning around, the gains he made this night were not small.

The days at Guangde Temple did not change at all. After morning classes and morning exercises, strictly speaking, it was free time until lunch.

Li Ming originally planned to practice alone for a while, but was stopped by Ming Jing.

"Brother, what do you want to do?"

"Hehe, I saw that you were very curious about those rumors last time. Uncle Faying returned to the temple last night. As usual, he will tell us some of his personal experiences in the lecture hall." Ming Jing said.

"Why don't we go together?"

Li Ming was slightly stunned, then smiled and said, "That's perfect."

Ming Jing nodded and said, "Ming De and Ming Liang have gone to grab a seat, let's go!"

"Okay." Li Ming answered and immediately quickened his pace.

This lecture hall is where the master explains the scriptures and teaches his disciples how to read. Mingxin hasn't been here for a long time, except for when he was very young and learned to read and recite scriptures here.

The two of them walked quickly into the door. At this moment, there were already quite a few people sitting in the lecture hall. As soon as they stepped into the door, Mingde, who was sitting in the front row, waved to them.

"Hey, why don't you see Junior Brother Mingliang?"

"He's a glutton. He said he was afraid that Uncle Faying would speak too late and delay his meal, so he won't come. He will go to the dining hall to save food for us. I will just pass on whatever I hear to him." Mingde said with puffed cheeks.

Ming Jing laughed and said, "Junior Brother Mingliang has not forgotten his original aspiration."

While they were chatting, a tall and thin figure walked up to the podium. Li Ming looked up and saw that the man was about forty years old, with slightly dark skin and a bit of weathered look on his face. However, he still smiled after sitting down.

He coughed lightly, and immediately the entire lecture hall became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. Seeing this, Faying nodded again and then spoke.

"This time, I was invited by the government to go to Feiyun Mountain in Yunzhou to participate in the roundup of the Jade Teeth Bandit. Unfortunately, the thief was highly skilled in martial arts, had excellent martial arts skills, was adept at using drugs, and was cunning. Even with the combined efforts of Taoist Master Guyun of the Three Heroes Temple and Constable Huang Tianzi of the Six Gates, he still escaped."

"The Jade Tooth Thief?"

"Sanyingguan?"

"Master Guyun?"

"Captain Huang?"

Among the disciples sitting around, some subconsciously repeated these names.

Uncle Faying arrived one by one without any rush.

"The Jade Tooth Thief is a flower-picking thief who has been roaming around Yunzhou recently. He specializes in picking flowers and only preys on virgins. Because he always takes a tooth from his victims after each attack, he has earned the nickname, the Jade Tooth Thief. Some also call him the Jade Tooth Flower Thief."

“It’s actually a flower thief!”

"Plucking someone's teeth? That's a lifelong scar, truly shameful." "The Taoist priest Gu Yun of Sanying Temple is a top-notch acquired martial artist who has been famous in the Yunzhou martial arts world for ten years. He has mastered the three unique skills of Sanying Temple, 'Canyun Step', 'Tingfeng Sword', and 'Cold Frost Skill', to perfection. He is only half a step away from the innate state. If I were to face him, I wouldn't last more than a hundred moves."

"Three heroic views, three unique skills, sounds impressive."

"Well, that's not the day after tomorrow. I'm definitely no match for the abbot."

"Dudu."

Faying tapped the wooden fish beside him gently, signaling everyone to be quiet, and continued his introduction.

"Captain Huang of the Six Gates has been stationed in Yunzhou for many years. During this time, he has solved countless major cases, including the tragic massacre of the 73 members of the Tang family in Zishan and the Huaci County serial murders. He has also captured several veteran masters of the magic arts. He has mastered the Six Gates' Iron Fir Kung and Crazy Blade techniques, and is particularly skilled in tracking."

"Captain Huang, I once met him by the Huanglong River. Three years have passed since we last met, and now his skills have improved even more. It really makes me ashamed."

At this moment, someone suddenly asked a question.

"Uncle Faying, why do you only talk about how amazing other people's martial arts are? What unique skills does our Guangde Temple have?"

Faying smiled when he heard that, and said so with a bit of pride on his face.

"I guess you haven't been in the temple long. Our Guangde Temple is a branch of the Wanfo Temple, one of the four sacred places of martial arts in the world. So, it has a long history. How could we not have some unique skills passed down?"

"However, to talk about the unique skills of this temple, we have to start with our founder, Zen Master Ciyue. Five hundred years ago, Zen Master Ciyue was an inner disciple of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple. At that time, the world was in turmoil and all living beings were suffering. The Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple sent out 108 disciples to spread the teachings throughout the world to alleviate the suffering of the people."

"Among these 108 disciples is our ancestor, Ciyue. Although these 108 disciples are scattered all over the world, different people have made different choices. Some choose to donate medicine and medicine, some choose to be chivalrous and righteous, and our ancestor chose to build Guangde Temple!"

"He built the temple to shelter the poor. From the beginning, it had only one hall, but now it can accommodate thousands of people. It was Master Ciyue who laid the first brick with his own hands! We, the younger generation, must never forget the kindness of our predecessors. Amitabha!"

At this time, everyone chanted the Buddha's name in unison.

Only then did Fa Ying continue speaking.

"Of course, in troubled times, if we want to protect the people, we can't just rely on Buddhism. Those cruel people are not so easily influenced by Buddhism, so we also need methods to protect ourselves."

"As an inner disciple of Wanfo Temple, Patriarch Ciyue had learned a vast amount of knowledge and his martial arts skills were naturally superb. However, he could not do it alone. Later, in order to protect more people, he chose to pass on his martial arts. However, due to the temple rules, he only left behind three inner skills and ten martial arts. This is the origin of our Guangde Temple's Thirteen Unique Skills!"

Faying briefly introduced the founding history of Guangde Temple, and then leisurely talked about the martial arts that have been passed down to this day.

"These thirteen unique skills have been passed down continuously in our Guangde Temple, remaining fresh over time. With the revisions and improvements made by later generations, they can be considered to be keeping pace with the times. They are very different from five hundred years ago. Half of them are secret teachings of Wanfo Temple, and half are repaired by Guangde Temple."

"The three internal skills, from shallow to deep, are the 'Arhat Divine Skills' that can be practiced by those who enter the Dharma Academy, the advanced skills, which is the 'Doraduoye Three Treasures Bodhi Heart Sutra' that I am practicing now, and the 'Lankavatara Wonderful Awakening Multi-Mind Sutra' that can only be practiced by the abbot and the head monk of this temple. Strictly speaking, if these three internal skills are practiced to the extreme, they can all break into the Xiantian realm, but..."

Faying paused and said.

"It's just that this temple has been established for 500 years, but only three predecessors have been able to truly rely on the 'Arhat Divine Art' to break into the Xiantian realm. Therefore, this skill is only used as a foundation."

"But you don't have to worry. As long as you have outstanding qualifications and pass the assessment of the head monk of the Dharma Academy within ten years, you can be awarded the heart method of the 'Doraduoye Sanbao Bodhicitta Sutra'."
