Chapter 636 The youngest master of the imperial realm in the world!
The Snowy Plateau is located in the southwest of the prosperous Tang Dynasty. No one knows how big or high this plateau is, and no one has really traveled all over the entire plateau.
Not only the prosperous Tang Dynasty, but even many people from other countries also lived on this plateau and nurtured many civilizations.
Few people in the world come to this plateau, but they know that it is very high and very cold, even colder than the Tianshan Mountains.
What people know is that the plateau is the nest and birthplace of Tantric Buddhism.
There are many names in Tantric Buddhism, namely Zhenyan Sect, also known as Vajra Ding Sect, and others call it Vairocana Sect, etc. However, no matter what country people are from, this Tantric Buddhism has a common name, which is called Tantric Buddhism.
Tantric Buddhism is a tribe of Mahayana Buddhism and is considered to be the mainstream of late Indian Buddhism. This series of Buddhist secrets and concepts are not allowed to be taught publicly, and its content is full of mysterious elements. This is how the name of Tantric Buddhism comes from.
Compared with the Tantric Buddhism, the previous Buddhist schools, including Mahayana and Hinayana, were called exoteric Buddhism, also known as exoteric Buddhism.
Both exoteric and esoteric Buddhism belong to Tibetan Buddhism, while Han Buddhism such as Shaolin Temple is called Zen Buddhism.
In Zen, both the concepts, practice methods, etc., are different from those of the exoteric and esoteric schools, while the differences between the exoteric and esoteric schools, which are both Tibetan Buddhism, are relatively small.
The spread of Tantric Buddhism is not limited to the snowy plateau. Other places also have heritages, such as the Baodao area, the Japanese area, etc., and there are also Tantric Buddhism inheritances, but they are not as prosperous as the snowy plateau.
Especially in this era, on the snowy plateau, the power of Tantric Buddhism has completely surpassed the exoteric sect and became the mainstream sect on the snowy plateau, and has a huge influence in the hearts of the plateau herders.
Tantric Buddhism also has a complete martial arts system. In addition to the Dragon and Elephant Prajna Known that Huo Yuanzhen, Tantric Buddhism actually has many powerful martial arts, but the Dragon and Elephant Prajna Knowledge is the foundation. That is why it is more famous.
The core of Tantric Buddhism today is the Potala Palace located on the snowy plateau.
The Potala Palace can be regarded as a Buddhist temple. In terms of scale alone, the Shaolin Temple that Huo Yuanzhen worked hard to build cannot be compared with it.
The highest leader of the Potala Palace is the Living Buddha, but the Living Buddha may not be the strongest owner of the Potala Palace.
However, in the outside world, people do not know much about the Potala Palace where Tantra is located. Many people even don’t know that Tantra and martial arts are also known. Only some people in the martial arts world who are familiar with the situation know that this Tantra actually has many masters.
However, I don’t know who the true top master of Tantra is. I can only make guesses based on some situations.
Only a very small number of people and a few internal personnel of Tantric Buddhism know that the true masters of Tantric Buddhism are the several Shilun Venerables who guard the Shilun Hall.
The Shilun Hall is located in the core area of the Potala Palace. Ordinary disciples do not even know that the Shilun Hall has several Shilun Venerables. This matter is a huge secret whether in Tantric Buddhism or in the world.
There is a gilt Shih Wheel Mandala in the Shih Wheel Hall. It is the place where the top lamas of Tantric Buddhism learn and observe astronomical phenomena.
The Time Wheel is a relatively abstract concept, originating from the Time Wheel Sutra, which is the last sutra of Tantric Buddhism and represents the highest peak of Tantric teachings. Compared with other scriptures, the Time Wheel Sutra has the most complex and authoritative interpretation of the worldview of Tantric Buddhism.
Master Tsongkhapa, the founder of the Huang Cult, believes that those who understand the Time Wheel Sutra can master any other Tantric scriptures without any difficulty.
The ritual of the time wheel tells the law of the changes and operation of the celestial phenomena. This law cannot be changed. Once it is changed, it is contrary to the destiny of heaven. It is to go against the will of heaven.
The only task of the Master Shilun is to monitor the movement of the astronomical phenomena. Apart from that, they have nothing to do.
It is said that these Venerables of Time Wheel are like living Buddhas and also need to go through reincarnation. After the Venerable of Time Wheel in the previous life passed away, they had to look for his reincarnation.
After finding the reincarnation of Venerable Shih Wheel, this person will be taken to the Shih Wheel Hall of the Potala Palace. After confirmation, he will become the new Shih Wheel Venerable, and stay here to monitor the changes in the Shih Wheel ritual.
They basically don’t have anything to do in their lives, and stay here until they die. It can be said that they are the most boring job in the world.
The task of Venerable Shilun is to monitor the rituals and not do anything, but sometimes they hope that something will happen in their hearts, at least something to do, so they don’t have to stick to this Shilun Hall for the rest of their lives.
***************************
There are now four venerables in the Shilun Hall, and they are all looking at a lama kneeling below with kind faces on their faces.
A thin old lama sitting in the center was called Venerable Milan. He held his hands together and sat there motionlessly, his eyes falling on the kneeling lama below.
"Sanger!"
"Master!"
The lama named Sanger looked about thirty years old and respectfully answered the words of Venerable Milan.
"It's the first day of September now, and the election for the leader of the Central Plains Martial Arts Alliance is about to begin. You are almost going down the mountain, right?"
"Yes, Master, the Living Buddha has given me the order. Tantra will definitely seize the position of the leader of the martial arts world this time. Sangert will come to bid farewell to the four masters and will go down the mountain in a while."
"Well! The journey to the Central Plains is not close, and after leaving the plateau, you will almost enter the scope of the Central Plains martial arts. Those martial arts people are different from our Tantric people. People are sinister. In order to achieve their goals, you should be careful along the way."
"Master, don't worry, although my disciples are not talented, I know a little bit about the martial arts level in the Central Plains martial arts world. It's not that my disciples boast. In the eyes of several masters, disciples are of course incompetent, but if they arrive in the Central Plains, there will definitely be very few people who can hurt their disciples!"
When Sanger spoke, his tone brought a hint of pride, and it seemed that he was very confident in his own force.
"Don't be careless!"
Venerable Milan had a serious expression: "Sange, you are proud!"
Hearing Milan Zun's tone, Sanger immediately restrained his arrogant expression and hurriedly knelt on the ground: "Master, I dare not!"
Instead of calling Sangge, Venerable Milan said seriously: "You are the most outstanding genius in our Tantric Buddhism in a century, and you are even much stronger than our old bones. Now, including the Dragon Elephant Prajna Prajna, you have basically learned all the martial arts of our Tantric Buddhism, and we have nothing to teach you."
As he spoke, Venerable Milan looked at each other and smiled bitterly, as if he was sighing that the Yangtze River was pushing the front waves, but there was a hint of pride in his smile. Obviously, he thought that if he taught such an apprentice, they would be very proud.
These venerables have been in the Shilun Hall for many years. In recent decades, in addition to guarding the Shilun Hall, the only thing they have done is to teach Sangge, the disciple. After years of hard teaching, Sangge has finally reached its current strength, which makes them very pleased.
Venerable Milan continued to say to Sange: "Sange, don't think there is no one in the Central Plains. Although we have also concealed some of your strength from the people in the Central Plains martial arts world, you should also know that there are still a few people in the Central Plains martial arts world today that you can't beat."
Sangge nodded respectfully, but he still said a little dissatisfied: "Disciples know that the masters have already told them many times, including Ding Buer, Ran Dongye, and An Mufeng. But masters, these people are all characters from a hundred years ago. Let's not talk about whether they are still alive. Even if they are still alive, they may not come out to compete for the leader of the martial arts world again. Could it be that they were encountered by their disciples so by chance?"
As he spoke, he stood up a little: "Besides, this time the competition for the martial arts leader is said to be the participant of some backward people from the world. The only thing worth worrying about is probably the original leader Dongfang Qing, but even she should not be able to reach the imperial realm. What else can disciples worry about?"
Venerable Milan frowned slightly: "I told you not to be proud anymore. Do you think no one knows about you? Let me tell you that Li Qinghua, the fallen flower god sect, had contact with our Tantric Buddhism some time ago, and she knew some news about you. And not only her, Ran Dongye also knew your existence. Have you ever thought that Dongfang Qing was Ran Dongye's apprentice, and Li Qinghua was also Dongfang Qing's senior sister. Since they knew your existence, could Dongfang Qing still not know?"
"Of course I know, but when Master Ran Dongye and Li Qinghua knew me, my disciple was just a congenital perfection. I'm afraid they still think that this time the person who is going to participate in the competition for the leader of the martial arts world is just the congenital perfection!"
As Sanger spoke, his arrogance gradually appeared again, and it was obvious that he did not listen to the words of Venerable Milan.
He does have the capital of arrogance. He is just over thirty years old and has been practicing martial arts for nearly thirty years. He has been learning martial arts under the hands of four masters since he was three years old. Tantra uses his treasure-like cultivation and gives him any medicine to improve his skills. When encountering difficulties and bottlenecks, there are several masters who help him. He has almost made a smooth breakthrough and his skill progress is terrifying.
When he was eighteen years old, this pride of heaven became a true innate perfection by chance. At that time, he had already had the intention of being arrogant.
What's more, just ten days ago, great luck came to him again, and Sanger probably has become the youngest imperial master in ancient times!
Even Ding Buer was far inferior to him at his age!
How can Sanger, who has never experienced setbacks, not be crazy! How can he not be arrogant!
