Jin Gang Zhi was originally from Moraya. Even though Bai Xiaosheng said that he was Lotus Peanut's disciple, the truth was that Lotus Peanut might not dare to call himself his master. Other than learning the "Time Scripture" from Tubo and Lotus Peanut, Jin Gang Zhi had another master in India. He once studied under Silent Wisdom Master at Nalanda Temple, and then studied under Master Sheng Xian Lun, "Theory of Yoga", "Theory of Knowledge", and "Theory of Debate".
His most outstanding master was Dragon Tree Bodhisattva's disciple, Master Long Zhi. He learned the Vajra Apex Yoga Sutra and Vairocana Dharma.
As the founder of Mahayana Buddhism and the disciple of Dragon Tree Bodhisattva, his status was much higher than Lianhua's disciple! At this time, Mahayana Buddhism had yet to spread to the east. Even Bai Xiaosheng might not know about the Dragon Tree Bodhisattva in India. On the other hand, Lianhua was well-known in the Central Plains because Tubo was close to the Tang Empire.
Jin Gang Zhi Tong's Senior Brother, Shan Wuwei, had come to the Eastern Lands with a mission. Other than promoting the Vajrayana of Buddhism, he also had the important task of finding the four Sakyamuni Celestial Artifacts that were taken away by the traitors of the Brahmin Sect that were defeated by Gautama Buddha.
Legend has it that Sakya Mani comprehended the supreme Dharma from the Dipankara Buddha's relic, the World Illuminating Lamp, and a Buddha's Palm that could subdue the heretics.
With his infinite wisdom, Shakyamuni brought forth a new form of the Buddha's Palm and evolved it into five forms of the Buddha's Palm. Before he passed away in meditation, he saw through the future Maitreya Buddha's birth. The eight forms of the Buddha's Palm would evolve into the ninth form of the Buddha's Palm. Five powerful instruments were passed down. So far, there were six instruments in India that contained the secret of the Buddha's Palm.
Four of them were stolen by the Brahmin traitors who were defeated by Sakyamuni. They were brought to the Eastern Lands in a futile attempt to assist Cao Cao in seizing control of the world during the chaos of the three kingdoms, thus reviving the Brahmin tradition.
In the end, such a vain attempt was defeated by the local Daoist masters of the Eastern Land, as well as the Indian Buddhists, Kumarashe and Bodhidharma, who had come to hunt down the remnants of the Brahmin Sect. After the successor of the Brahmin, Mahajialuo, failed, the four magical weapons that he stole disappeared without a trace. The few Indian monks had no choice but to stay in the Eastern Lands and pass down the orthodoxy of Buddhism. Only then did the Wei and Jin Dynasties have four hundred and eighty temples in the Southern Dynasties.
Xuanzang didn't know that this tanned, skinny, and bumpkin-looking Indian Hindustani had such an amazing background. If he knew, he, a self-proclaimed Mahayana disciple who hadn't shaved his head, wouldn't know where his knees would go soft!
Of course, even if Xuanzang knew, he might not think highly of this Indian monk. After all, according to the Monkey King, he was the reincarnation of Gautama Buddha's disciple. Moreover, he had the suspicious Buddhist monk Nameless Zen Master who had carefully taught him. He was the direct disciple of Gautama Buddha in both lives and was destined to be the Buddha of Sandalwood Merit in the future. His status was much higher than a mere disciple of the Dragon Tree.
On the arena, two monks who didn't know each other's prominent status in the system looked at each other. It was Xuanzang who nodded first and put his palms together, "Mahayana disciple Chen Xuanzang greets Senior Brother Jingang Zhi."
Jingang Zhi, however, waved his hand and said stiffly with an Indian accent, "On the arena, fists and legs have no eyes. How could it matter if they were senior brothers or not? I wonder why you call me a Mahayana disciple? As far as I know, after the Dragon Tree Patriarch established Mahayana with the Middle View, no Indian Buddhists came to the Eastern Lands to spread their teachings. How can there be a Mahayana? "
At this moment, Xuanzang was embarrassed. It turned out that Jingang Zhi didn't recognize him as a Mahayana disciple.
The exorcists below were all shrewd people. How could they not understand the meaning behind Jingang Zhi's words? They whispered to each other, obviously waiting to see Xuanzang make a fool of himself. Fortunately, the Eastern Lands were second to none. These exorcists weren't Buddhist disciples like Xuanzang who would automatically lower their heads in front of Indian Buddhists. They looked down on these Indian natives.
Therefore, although they wanted to see Xuanzang make a fool of himself, they didn't feel any better when they looked at Jingang Zhi, the ignorant barbarian.
What they were thinking was — Xuanzang's embarrassment when he met Li Kui was naturally worthy of ridicule. But you, a barbarian from the West, actually dared to look down on our magnificent Middle Earth. You're even more ignorant. Everything in our Middle Earth is the best. Even if it's the Eastern Lands, when it comes to our Middle Earth, the outstanding people will definitely surpass your Indian. Do you think there's no one in our Middle Earth who can stand up to you?
Shan Wuwei saw the surrounding exorcists' malicious, disdainful, or blatant discrimination. He sighed slightly, but it was too late to stop his junior brother.
Xuanzang looked awkward, but there was nothing he could say to refute.
Zhu Ganglie, on the other hand, sneered and scolded, "What can a mere Hindustani from India know? Our Middle Earth Dynasty has its own national conditions. We don't respect any foreign ancestors or deities. Since you came to our land, you better stay obediently. All deities that the people of Middle Earth believe in must not be foreigners. "
"Is the Western Daqin Vatican overbearing? When preaching to Middle Earth, the believers still have to listen to the Imperial Court. What is the Imperial Court? It's the manifestation of Haotian's will. Therefore, the Emperor is the Son of Heaven. The Son of Heaven is the son of Haotian, and Haotian is the Dao of Middle Earth. If you, the Mahayana, still insist on the Hindustani way, I'm sorry, Middle Earth won't allow such a powerful existence like you. "
"If you still insist on the Indian way." Zhu Ganglie's domineering aura from his previous life was fully displayed. He said majestically, "Then, from now on, our Buddha is our Buddha, and your Buddha is your Buddha. Every dog has its day. When the time comes, it's still uncertain whether India will still be a Buddhist land! The orthodox Buddhism is in Middle Earth! No one is allowed to interfere! "
Xuanzang was not as domineering as Zhu Ganglie. He did not have a Celestial Lord to back him up.
He could only answer awkwardly but politely, "Senior Brother, the Mahayana is not a secret Indian teaching. According to legend, when Buddha preached, although he did not say a word about the Mahayana Dharma, it was actually to avoid interfering with the disciples' cultivation of Dharma. In fact, he had already secretly told the disciples, and his Bodhi Heart was awakened. Senior Brother, how can you say that there is no Mahayana outside of India? "
This time, it was Jin Gang Zhi's turn to choke. He had also heard that Mahayana was a secret teaching of Buddha that Xuanzang said, but that was a rumor made by his ancestor, Long Shu, to show that he was the orthodox Buddhism, to attack those Theravada who insisted on the primitive teachings of Buddhism, and to belittle their cultivation as Han!
As a direct disciple of the Mahayana, how could he not know that this was completely a lie for political reasons?
But now, he could not expose it!
After all, Jin Gang Zhi was not as smooth as his senior brother, Shan Wuwei. If Shan Wuwei was here again, he would probably bite the bullet and admit it. However, Jin Gang Zhi was proud of his identity as a direct disciple of the Mahayana. Although he later entered the Vajra Mahayana with Lianhua, he was still proud of his sect. How could he tolerate Xuanzang, who in his eyes, wore a kasaya and mixed into the Mahayana Buddhism?
He bit the bullet and said, "I am a direct disciple of the Mahayana. Do you think I don't know if there is an inheritance of the Mahayana robe in East Earth?"
"In East Earth, other than me, it is impossible for there to be a disciple of the Mahayana Dharma …" Jin Gang Zhi had just said firmly when he heard his senior brother scolding him, "Jin Gang Zhi, don't talk nonsense!"
Jin Gang Zhi retorted, "Senior Brother, you …"
Shan Wuwei's eyes widened as he looked at Jin Gang Zhi and said slowly, "Junior Brother, have you forgotten why we came to East Earth?"
Jin Gang Zhi shouted angrily, "Isn't it because of Mokeye, the remnant of Brahmin?" As soon as he said this, Bai Xiaosheng, Master Xianglong, and the others' expressions changed. They didn't expect this Indian monk to come for one of Middle Earth's top experts, Mokeye, the sect master of Pure Bliss Sect. Master Xianglong couldn't help but say, "Mokeye is also a disciple of Buddhism with profound Dharma. Although his teachings are a little extreme, how can he be a remnant of Brahmin?"
Jin Gang Zhi sneered, "He is just a devil who snuck into Buddhism!"
Master Xianglong knew that Jin Gang Zhi was right, but he couldn't agree to it. Now that Nanbei Chao of Buddhism had suffered a great counterattack from Eastern Earth's Daoism and traditional forces, it was time for him to fight for allies. Not to mention Mokeye's top martial arts, Pure Bliss Sect was also very influential. Now that Buddhism was in need of manpower, how could he push them to the opposite side?
He scolded in his heart, "This Indian monk's brain is really not good. He doesn't even know that the key of Buddhism is to make more friends and fewer enemies. Our Central Earth's Buddhism is eclectic and eclectic. Hinduism is Hinduism, there is no cure for it … Amitabha! Forgive me, forgive me, I have slandered Buddha again! "
"Patriarch Sakya must not be from Hinduism. Buddha is so wise, how could he be Hinduism?"
Master Xianglong shook his head, obviously disagreeing with Jin Gang Zhi's words. Shan Wuwei saw Jin Gang Zhi's unwise eyes and had no choice but to say, "Junior Brother, don't forget our other mission!"
Jin Gang Zhi's expression changed. Do you know why Jin Gang Zhi was so loyal to Shan Wuwei? It was because Shan Wuwei's background was even more extraordinary. Jin Gang Zhi was of the Brahmin caste and was the direct descendant of the Dragon Tree. Shan Wuwei, on the other hand, was a monk of the king and was the descendant of Gautama Buddha's father, the Sweet Dew Rice King.
In terms of caste, birth, bloodline, and status in the Buddhism system, Jin Gang Zhi was completely defeated. How could he not respect this senior brother?
By now, Jin Gang Zhi had already understood what Shan Wuwei meant. There might really be a Mahayana lineage in the Eastern Lands, and it was the core of their Vajra Mahayana Tantrism. It was the Vajra and Womb sects, the proof of the identity of Buddha's direct disciple, the place of the Dao, and the supreme scripture — Vairocana Vairocana Sutra.
It was also their most important mission in the East Earth — to find the supreme scripture of the Tantra, Maha-Vairocana Sutra.
Xuanzang, who was carrying the supreme scripture in front of his chest, said confusedly, "Thank you, Senior Martial Brother. I am indeed a disciple of the Mahayana Realm, although my master did not tell me about the orthodoxy that I inherited. Both of you are dead!) But my heart and the Dharma I have learned are indeed the profound meaning of Mahayana. "
Jin Gang Zhi's face turned green. He looked at Xuanzang and said coldly, "Then let me have a taste of Venerable Xuanzang's Mahayana Dharma!"
The Vajra Wisdom Finger came together, the tips of the fingers came together, the palms of the two hands separated, bulging together. His mouth chanted the mantra, "Suo Suo Po Luo Tuo Sa Luo Da Mo Suo Po Luo Du Zhen!" After repeating the mantra three times, he slightly closed his middle finger.
It was Jing Sanye's mantra, Lotus Flower Palm Seal!
On the Saber Mountain Arena, with Jin Gang Zhi as the center, an indescribable force spread out. The dust in the sky was pushed away by this invisible force. Under the moonlight, the dust reflected the light, like a budding Lianhua, plated with a slightly bright and flawless layer.
As Jin Gang Zhi's hand seals changed, the white lotus bloomed. Layer after layer of Lianhua bloomed. The entire Saber Mountain Arena and the surrounding area were covered by that white lotus.
His mind was a Buddha, his mouth was chanting mantras, his hands were forming seals, and his body was a pure land.
Within the Blessed Lands of the White Lotus, all Demonic Demons had nowhere to hide. Zhu Ganglie let out a roar and transformed, revealing his true form. He was a golden boar. Within the Blessed Lands of the White Lotus, although the Demonic Qi was surging like a tidal wave, it was not suppressed by the Blessed Lands as Vajra Zhi had expected.
A human-like cold smile appeared on Zhu Ganglie's golden pig face. He said, "Do you still think that this old pig is that filthy demon? Let me tell you, my true form is actually – Canopy Marshal! "
