Chapter 11: Become a disciple of Abbot Sanzang; Is Lin Xuan suspected to be the reincarnation of Shaolin's divine monk?
Hearing this, Abbot Sanzang smiled bitterly and said:

"But now, there is not even a holy monk left in the temple."

The Shaolin elder didn't care about this and said:

"Then go find their reincarnations!"

"Now that the Black Fox King has escaped, the reincarnations of the three divine monks will surely appear!"

Reincarnation?

Abbot Sanzang was stunned, somewhat unconvinced:

"After so many years since the death of the three great monks, is it true that there are reincarnations?"

The Shaolin elder retorted:

"The Black Fox King was sealed for a thousand years, yet he was able to escape. How could the three great monks of our Shaolin Temple die completely?"

"Sanzang, you have to believe in yourself!"

"Okay, I'll do my best."

Although Abbot Sanzang found it incredible, he was still willing to try.

After discussing some matters concerning the Black Fox King with the Shaolin ancestors, Abbot Sanzang left the Incarnation Cellar.

……

……

On the way back to the abbot's residence, Abbot Sanzang decided to go to the Sutra Library first, hoping to find a way to defeat the Black Fox King from ancient books.

You know, our hopes are placed on the reincarnations of those three great monks.

This was simply impossible for Abbot Sanzang to accomplish in a short period of time.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he passed the abbot's courtyard, he saw Elder Xuanfeng walking towards him like the wind, and said with a smile:

"Abbot Sanzang, I have brought Lin Xuan here. Go and take a look at the child."

"He has extraordinary comprehension. Even before he started practicing Shaolin internal energy, he already had true Qi in his body!"

Upon hearing this, Abbot Sanzang's expression suddenly changed:
"this?!"

"Elder Xuanfeng, are you telling the truth?"

He didn't quite believe what Elder Xuanfeng said.

If that's the case, it's such a coincidence.

The Black Fox King had just escaped, and he was looking worried.

The Shaolin ancestors speculated that the reincarnation of the three great Shaolin monks would show up and suppress the Black Fox King once again!
Now, hearing what Elder Xuanfeng said, Lin Xuan seems to be one of them?
Abbot Wang Sanzang did not believe it, so Elder Xuanfeng insisted:

"How can it be false?"

"Abbot Sanzang, you will know if you go and take a look at that child."

that's it.

With a hint of curiosity and a bit of anticipation, Abbot Sanzang walked into the courtyard and met Lin Xuan, whom Elder Xuanfeng praised so much.

"Lin Xuan, this is the abbot of Shaolin Temple, Sanzang."

Elder Xuanfeng introduced.

In fact.

Without Elder Xuanfeng's reminder, Lin Xuan had already recognized Abbot Sanzang.

He was dressed in a monk's robe, with a long white beard that reached down to his chest. His broad, square face had a kind smile on it, giving people a sense of approachability.

"Young man Lin Xuan, I pay my respects to Abbot Sanzang!"

After taking a look at Abbot Sanzang, Lin Xuan bowed deeply to him, very respectfully.

"Child, there is no need to be polite."

Abbot Sanzang laughed.

He had a profound cultivation base and could tell at a glance that there was indeed true Qi in Lin Xuan's body.

Although it is very faint, it is real.

Abbot Sanzang had extraordinary experience and knew countless people. In his opinion, Lin Xuan had a handsome face and a decent appearance. He did not look like a naughty or stupid person, but was rather humble and polite.

It seems to have the scholarly air of a scholar.

"Well, Abbot Sanzang, I didn't lie, did I?"

Here, Elder Xuanfeng saw that Abbot Sanzang was very satisfied with Lin Xuan, and he also smiled.

"That's true." Abbot Sanzang nodded.

After that, he instructed Lin Xuan:
"Lin Xuan, come in."

"Yes, Abbot."

Lin Xuan responded and followed Abbot Sanzang into the hall.

Similarly, Elder Xuanfeng also followed in.

"Lin Xuan, why did you come to Shaolin to learn martial arts?"

Arriving at the hall, Abbot Sanzang sat on a chair and asked. Hearing this, Lin Xuan understood.

Abbot Sanzang is questioning his conscience.

In this regard, Lin Xuan said bluntly:
"The reason why I came to Shaolin to learn martial arts is because I want to learn Kung Fu, so that I can protect myself and the people around me."

"To be honest, Abbot, the village where I live was robbed by bandits a few days ago, and my home was destroyed."

"At that time, I was thinking, if I had the ability to fight against the bandits, could I protect the village..."

He didn't lie, and he didn't need to cheat.

I just spoke my mind.

I heard that the village where Lin Xuan lived was also looted by bandits.

Abbot Sanzang and Elder Xuanfeng couldn't help but look at each other.

I don’t know why?

Bandits have been rampant recently and many villages have been looted.

Abbot Sanzang has sent Elder Longchuan to investigate, but there has been no news in the past few days.

At this moment, the village where Lin Xuan lived was not spared.

This shows that this group of bandits is not ordinary.

While thinking, Abbot Sanzang suddenly thought of the Black Fox King.

When he thought of this, Abbot Sanzang felt that the haze in front of his eyes became even heavier.

Putting his worries aside, Abbot Sanzang calmed himself down, nodded slightly to Lin Xuan, and said:

"Your answer is not deceitful, which is good."

There are many reasons to come to Shaolin Temple to learn martial arts.

Among them, most people answered that they either wanted to learn martial arts in Shaolin for novelty, or that some people were born weak and came to Shaolin just to strengthen their bodies.

Either they want to master martial arts, become famous, and dominate the world; or they want to avenge their relatives and friends...

Lin Xuan's reason was refreshing to Abbot Sanzang.

At the very least, what I think in my heart is not driven by selfish desires, but is mixed with compassion.

This is very Buddhist.

Thinking of this, Abbot Sanzang decided to accept him as a disciple.

Putting aside Lin Xuan's character and personality, in his opinion, his qualifications are definitely up to par.

As for what kind of character and personality you have?
Abbot Sanzang doesn’t understand yet.

Judging from his experience, it shouldn't be bad.

As long as the person is not a treacherous, evil, sinister or despicable person, Abbot Sanzang is willing to accept him.

What's more, Lin Xuan is still young, and Abbot Sanzang is confident that under his training, Lin Xuan will not go astray.

Besides, it’s possible that Lin Xuan is really the reincarnation of one of the three great Shaolin monks!

In that case, there would be no need for Abbot Sanzang to worry about it.

After thinking this through, Abbot Sanzang looked at Lin Xuan and asked seriously:

"Lin Xuan, are you willing to take me as your master?"

"Disciple is willing!"

Hearing this, Lin Xuan was overjoyed.

Without thinking, he kowtowed and agreed.

Abbot Sanzang is the undisputed number one master in Shaolin Temple!

If not his disciple, who else can I worship?
I came to Shaolin to learn martial arts just to become a disciple of Abbot Sanzang.

Now that Abbot Sanzang had asked, Lin Xuan certainly would not hesitate.

Seeing this, Abbot Sanzang said in a deep voice:

"it is good!"

"Since you have accepted me as your master, I hope that you will practice the teachings of the Ming Dynasty, be compassionate, and have the ambition to care for the world and protect all living beings."

Be compassionate to the world and protect all living beings?
Hearing this, Lin Xuan's heart skipped a beat.

Isn't this going too far?

He just became an apprentice, and now he can't even beat a random monk in the temple!
How can this protect the people?

Even Elder Xuanfeng standing beside him looked up in confusion at this moment.

I thought to myself, Abbot, this is all completely false and empty.

Today, the world is stable and united, and it is no longer a time of chaos.

How can we protect the people?
