Xuanzang and Jianzhen Shocked
Xuanzang loved and hated Bian Ji at the same time.
What he loved was that Monk Bian Ji was indeed very perceptive in Buddhism. Especially after Master Xuanzang returned from India, Monk Bian Ji helped Master Xuanzang translate many Indian Buddhist works, which made Master Xuanzang admire him even more.
Therefore, Master Xuanzang hoped to nurture Bian Ji as his successor.
In this way, after Master Xuanzang passed away, the huge Huichang Temple would have a successor.
Now that he saw the monk Bian Ji running back in such a dejected manner, Master Xuanzang was very angry. He knew that the monk Bian Ji must have caused trouble outside again.
"Master, the young Taoist priest of Lingfeng Temple can even beat people up! The injuries on my face were caused by that little Taoist priest.”
Bian Ji said with a sad face.
Since Master Xuanzang was an accomplished monk, he naturally would not just listen to the one-sided words of this monk.
"Is it Daoist Priest Gao Xuan?"
Master Xuanzang asked.
"That's right! It's that little Daoist priest."
Although Bian Ji's face was smashed, his words were still exceptionally smooth.
"Humph! That's the Taoist priest of Spirit Peak Temple. How dare you call him Little Daoist? How rude.”
Bian Ji scolded angrily.
Master Xuanzang was an accomplished monk, so he was very particular about etiquette.
Gao Xuan was the Taoist priest of Lingfeng Temple. In terms of status, he was on equal footing with the abbot of Huichang Temple. Even Master Xuanzang had to address Gao Xuan as Taoist priest Gao Xuan when he saw him, but now, Monk Bian Ji actually called Gao Xuan a little Taoist priest.
How could Master Xuanzang not be angry?
"Master, that little Daoist priest…that Daoist priest hit me!”
Bian Ji knelt on the ground and began to wail.
Master Xuanzang still doted on his disciple, so he quickly helped Bian Ji up.
"Tell me, why did Taoist Gao Xuan hit you?”
Master Xuanzang was also surprised to see the serious injuries on Bian Ji's face. He did not expect a mere Taoist priest to be able to beat his disciple to such a state.
"I went to discuss the Dao with that Taoist priest today. That Taoist priest couldn't win against me in an argument, so he insisted on saying that he only cultivated two dhyana at once.”
Bian Ji continued to wail.
Although Bian Ji's expression was very painful, Master Xuanzang no longer looked at him.
"I only cultivate two dhyana."
Master Xuanzang stood rooted to the ground and repeated Gao Xuan's words several times.
"Master, what's wrong?"
Seeing his master's strange expression, Bian Ji quickly got up and asked.
"Idiot! To cultivate only two dhyana with one heart, this was the true Dao, the true Dharma! Daoist Priest Gao Xuan had only casually said a few words, but he had already said the Buddhist Dharma that he had been thinking about for decades. Daoist Priest Gao Xuan was simply a god!”
Master Xuanzang said in amazement, his heart filled with shock.
When Bian Ji saw that his master was actually praising Gao Xuan so much, he was instantly deceived.
Bian Ji stood rooted to the ground, not knowing what to say.
"At first, I thought that the Taoist priest of Spirit Peak Temple was just an empty title. Now it seems that it's not at all. It's the real Great Dao!”
Master Xuanzang took a deep look in the direction of Spirit Peak Mountain and said.
"Master, is the phrase 'practice only two dhyana with one heart' really Buddhism?”
Bian Ji asked in fear.
"Of course, and it's definitely a high-grade Buddhist Dharma. I didn't expect it to come from a Taoist priest. It made us old monks who study Buddhism feel ashamed.”
Master Xuanzang did not seem to be ashamed.
At the same time, Monk Jianzhen also received the news in Daming Temple.
The abbot of Daming Temple, Jian Xin, had already learned about Bian Ji's Dao discussion at Spirit Peak Temple. He immediately told Jian Zhen about it.
"Monk Bian Ji, is that the little disciple of Master Xuanzang?”
Jian Zhen looked at the Buddhist scripture in his hand and asked with a smile.
"That's right."
Jian Xin replied.
"Humph! That little monk only knew how to play some tricks. It was ridiculous to expect him to discuss the Dao with the Taoist priest of Spirit Peak Temple! However, what exactly did the Taoist priest say to defeat the little monk?”
Jian Zhen also asked curiously,
"I only cultivate two dhyana."
Jian Xin replied.
Although it was only one sentence, Jian Zhen's pupils constricted and he stood up in the end.
"You only cultivate two dhyana?"
Jian Zhen stood up and recited the same sentence.
"That's right! When I heard it, I was also secretly surprised. A Taoist priest could actually say such a sentence. It was really amazing.”
Jian Xin said with a smile.
"I want to go to Spirit Peak Temple to see that Taoist priest.”
Jian Zhen immediately made a decision.
When Jian Zhen heard the phrase " only cultivate two dhyana with one heart," he felt as if the shackles of Buddhism that had always existed in his heart had suddenly been opened.
Because of the shackles of Buddhism, Jian Zhen had been stuck at his current realm for a long time, unable to advance.
That was why Jian Zhen wanted to go east to spread Buddhism, so that he could improve his Buddhist realm.
However, after hearing Gao Xuan's words, Jian Zhen seemed to have changed his mind.
"Spirit Peak Temple? Junior Brother, are you going to discuss Dao with that Taoist priest too?”
Seeing his junior brother's reaction, Jianxin asked curiously.
"Of course not! I'm going to take him as my master!"
Master Jian Zhen said confidently.
