Chapter 124 "Nagarjuna Bodhisattva's Enlightenment Diagram"; Six Sages and Two Saints!

When he looked at the old monk in robes and with hanging white beard in front of the hall, Abbot Mingtong's expression suddenly froze.

He was very familiar with this person.

It was none other than the Shaolin abbot, Sanzang!

When Abbot Sanzang saw him, a friendly smile appeared on his face:

"Abbot Mingtong, I haven't seen you for a few years. How are you?"

"I'm still in good health."

Abbot Mingtong stood up quickly and said simply.

After saying that, he noticed Lin Xuan, Xiaolong, Xiaohu, and Xiaolan behind Abbot Sanzang.

After taking a curious look, Abbot Mingtong seemed to understand something and said bluntly:
"These must be the new disciples that Abbot Sanzang has accepted, right?"

It is no secret that Abbot Sanzang accepted disciples.

It had already spread more than a year ago.

Abbot Mingtong had naturally heard of it.

He even knew that Gongjin, the senior brother of Abbot Sanzang, was now the head monk of Shaolin Dharma Academy!

"good."

Abbot Sanzang nodded slightly.

Then, he looked at Lin Xuan and the others and said:

"Why don't you pay your respects to Abbot Mingtong?"

Hearing this, Lin Xuan, Xiaolong, Xiaohu, and Xiaolan immediately understood and quickly bowed to Abbot Mingtong:
"The humble monk Lin Xuan (Xiao Long, Xiao Hu, Xiao Lan) greets the abbot Ming Tong!"

Seeing this, Abbot Mingtong nodded slightly.

But his gaze paused for a moment longer on Lin Xuan and Xiao Lan.

Although the White Horse Temple does not focus much on martial arts training, it does not mean that there are no masters in the temple.

This Abbot Mingtong has reached the level of controlling Qi!
At this moment, according to his perception, Lin Xuan's true Qi was vigorous, his Qi essence was full, and the Buddha's power in his body was hidden but not released, as if he had the power of a diamond to destroy demons.

He thought that this boy's strength was probably better than his own.

You know, Lin Xuan looks about the same age as his apprentice Qing Wu, but who would have thought that his strength is so much higher!

A sixteen-year-old master of the Yu Qi realm, it’s incredible to think about it!

When he thought of this, Abbot Mingtong sighed in his heart.

This person is really incomparable!
What about Xiaolan?
She is simply a girl.

After all, he was shocked when he learned that Abbot Sanzang had accepted a female disciple.

Abbot Mingtong thought that the incident with the evil disciple had irritated Abbot Sanzang.

That's why he did something that went against the rules of Shaolin's ancestors.

Retracting his gaze, Abbot Mingtong said with a hint of envy:

"Abbot Sanzang, you have accepted these good disciples."

"Abbot Mingtong, your disciple is not bad either."

Abbot Sanzang replied.

The person he was talking about was naturally Qingwu.

With Abbot Sanzang's vision at the spiritual realm, how could he not see that this boy had reached the Qi Yuan realm?

You know, the reason Xiaolong, Xiaohu and Xiaolan are where they are today is because all three of them are reincarnations of Shaolin monks.

As for Lin Xuan?
He subconsciously ignored the fact that this disciple's talent was simply monstrous!
Especially after he broke through to the Yuqi realm, Lin Xuan gave Abbot Sanzang the feeling that this boy could compete with the elders guarding the pavilion.

Here, hearing their master and the abbot of the White Horse Temple praising each other, Lin Xuan, Xiaolong, Xiaohu and Xiaolan couldn't help but smile at each other.

"Abbot Sanzang, you are too kind."

Abbot Mingtong said this casually, seemingly nonchalantly, but in fact his mouth was grinning widely.

After all, being praised by Abbot Sanzang showed that his little disciple really caught the latter's eye.

After saying this, Abbot Mingtong looked at his little disciple who was still standing stupidly in front of him, and couldn't help but ordered:

"Qingwu, stop standing there and go make tea for everyone."

"Yes, master!"

Hearing this, Qing Wu responded obediently and hurried to make tea for everyone. Not long after, Abbot Ming Tong extended his hand to Abbot Sanzang and others and said:
"Abbot Sanzang, please come to the Buddhist temple!"

Abbot Sanzang nodded slightly, then led Lin Xuan and the other three towards the Buddhist hall.

……

In the Buddhist temple.

Everyone sat down in turn.

Qingwu brought a few young monks and served a cup of fragrant tea to Abbot Sanzang, Lin Xuan and others, then stood next to Abbot Mingtong.

But his eyes were always secretly observing Lin Xuan, Xiaolong, Xiaohu and Xiaolan.

It's not like he hasn't heard of the name of Abbot Sanzang.

He had also heard of several of the latter's talented disciples.

Lin Xuan and the others could naturally see Qing Wu's sneak glances, but they all looked calm and unmoved.

Abbot Sanzang and Abbot Mingtong exchanged a few pleasantries and asked about each other's recent situation.

After a brief chat, Abbot Mingtong warmly invited the guest to stay:
"Abbot Sanzang has not come to my White Horse Temple for many years. It is a rare visit today, so please stay with me for a few more days."

"It's a good opportunity for my disciple to get acquainted with some of your top disciples."

His words just happened to be what Abbot Sanzang was thinking, so he just went with the flow and responded:
"According to Abbot Mingtong's wishes, I will bother you for a few days."

Abbot Mingtong smiled warmly:

"What are you talking about? Abbot Sanzang, there is no need to be so formal with me. You may not know that a while ago, the abbot of Daxingshan Temple in Chang'an sent me several scriptures including the "Prajnaparamita Sutra of the King of Mercy."

"Among them is a picture of Nagarjuna Bodhisattva's Enlightenment, which is very valuable."

"I have heard for a long time that Abbot Sanzang has made great inquiries into my Tantric Buddhism. I wonder when I can hear Sanzang's wonderful words?"

Upon hearing this, Abbot Sanzang immediately became interested.

"The Sutra of the Prajnaparamita of the King of Mercy" is a rare ancient sutra in Tantric Buddhism.

But Abbot Mingtong's next words made Abbot Sanzang laugh and cry:

“I am ashamed to say that among the six great saints and the two great saints, I have only read Dharmakirti’s Seven Treatises and Two Commentaries.”

"That's fine. The mantras of Tantric Buddhism all come from the same source. Abbot Sanzang doesn't need to be too modest."

Abbot Mingtong said with a smile.

This room.

Xiaolong, Xiaohu and Xiaolan were confused when they heard their master and Abbot Mingtong talking about the Six Stricts and the Two Saints.

For this reason, he quickly whispered to Lin Xuan, who often visited the Sutra Library:

"Brother, what are the Six Stricts and Two Saints?"

Lin Xuan took a quick look at the Six Sages and Two Saints of Tantric Buddhism in a scripture in the Sutra Repository.

But thanks to his photographic memory, he still remembered it.

He thought for a while and said:
"Those are the eight great sages of Tantric Buddhism, namely Nagarjuna, Asanga, Vasubandhu, Dignaga, Dharmakirti, Samantabhadra and Shakyamuni."

“What is Tantra?”

Xiaohu was puzzled again.

Lin Xuan didn't quite understand Tantric Buddhism, but he had a general idea of ​​it, so he explained:

"Tantra, one is Garbha-dhatu, the other is Vajra-dhatu, the teaching of Mahayana, the practice of observing and practicing the truth, the practice of the supreme deity secret method."

These words were confusing. Xiaohu and the other two were still a little confused after hearing them.

But since the elders are here, it’s not appropriate to ask too many questions.

at the same time.

Lin Xuan noticed what Abbot Mingtong had said earlier, but couldn't help but lower his head and ponder:

"What is 'Nagarjuna Bodhisattva's Enlightenment Picture'? Is it the same as 'White Jade Elephant Buddha Picture'?"

……

Thinking of this, Lin Xuan's mind suddenly became active.

The "White Jade Elephant Buddha Picture" made him suddenly realize the image of the white jade elephant holding up the sky!
