Holy Bone

Chapter 615 The nine sons of the dragon are different (6k chapters)

The cave is deep.

Over time, the subterranean lake dries up, exposing the riverbed beneath.

On the other side of the lake, a man and a sheep were arguing.

"Baa." The goat squinted.

The old Taoist was annoyed: "I know you rescued me in the lake just now. If it weren't for you, I would have been swept away by those lakes, but this is the ninth time you mentioned it repeatedly! I’ve passed you once, if it wasn’t for my sharp eyes, I reminded you that there is a big yellow snake under the water, and told you to be careful, do you think you can still be called a ram?”

"Bah."

The old Taoist was full of disbelief: "What do you mean you have already discovered it, and you are just on your way to play with a little earthworm. I still fish with earthworms."

"Bah."

The old Taoist retorted unconvinced: "It's not the old Taoist, which pot I don't open and which pot I don't open, it's obviously the nine pots you picked up in a row."

Listening to the non-stop bleating, seeing the old Taoist priest and the goat arguing red-faced, they have landed smoothly at this time, Mr. Yiyun and Qi Bo, who have taken off their gold-threaded jade clothes, have curious expressions on their faces, and they all feel that the five internal organs are Taoist. Everyone here is a strange person, even the head sheep is a strange sheep, who can quarrel with others.

Qibo asked with a strange expression: "Chen Daochang, can you talk to sheep?"

The old Taoist was puzzled by the question: "No."

Uh.

Qi Bo was even more surprised this time: "Since you can't understand the language of the sheep, how can you, Daoist Chen... uh, be able to talk freely with this strange sheep raised by Daoist Jin'an?"

The old Taoist replied with a matter of course: "This sheep is like a human spirit. I don't even need to understand what it says. I just need to look at its eyes and expressions, and I can think of what it is talking about. For example, it is squinting at me It’s definitely not going to be a good thing.”

"..."

It turned out to be talking to himself.

But the two of them always felt that something was wrong.

If sheep can't understand people's words, and people can't understand sheep's words, why do they always feel that there is no sense of disobedience in the quarrel between the person and the sheep in front of them?

It's really weird.

Fortunately, just when one person and one goat were about to go from quarreling to starting a fight, Jin An successfully found them to join them. The eyes of the old Taoist priest and the goat were instantly attracted by the dragon ball that Jin An carried back. forgotten.

"Okay, what a big dragon ball!"

"Before standing on the shore, I didn't think it was too big from a distance. If you really have to look at it up close, it's too big... This is not a dragon ball, it's a stolen Dragon King egg!"

The old Taoist was speechless.

The golden dragon ball is as big as a mountain just by a single dragon head, one can imagine how big this dragon ball is, and Jin An carrying it on top of his head is like running with a large water tank twice the size.

"This is not a place to talk. We hurriedly found a place to divide it up together. This thing fell out of the mouth of the 茰貐, and there was a small crack where the dragon essence, dragon spirit, and dragon spirit were running out. Spirituality seals the cracks, but it won't last long." Without time to recall the past, Jin An said quickly.

Mr. Yiyun and the others went ashore first, and they had already explored the surrounding terrain beforehand. The four of them and a goat finally found an inconspicuous cliff crevice to hide in, and the golden jade clothes they took off after they went ashore were also hidden here.

When Jin An lifted the water talisman sealed four times by Zhenjun Erlang, immediately, the rich energy of life essence leaked out along a small crack as wide as the belly of a finger. His eyes are as bright as copper bells, like a second spring.

The goat on the side has been with Jin'an for so long, and its eyesight and taste have long been cultivated. It can tell at a glance that the dragon ball is a good thing, and it can't wait to stick out its tongue to lick the dragon ball.

Why don't you say that there is such a thing as sheep licking salt bricks.

Don't care about the origin of this dragon ball, it's a rare treasure, Jin An smashed it open with a simple and rude punch like eating a snake's egg.

click-

The cracks in the Dragon Ball widened and three streams of clear light burst out, which were the first clear light in the world when the world was first divided into yin and yang when the world was in chaos. Only when the qi is divided into yin and yang can the yin and yang be orderly.

Those three rays of light condensed into three phantoms of golden crickets, brilliant and frightening, with their heads held high and dragons singing, this time it was no longer the sound of babies crying.

The old Taoist was surprised: "These three golden scorpions sound different from the big yellow snakes I met in the lake before. Could it be that there are already signs of transforming into dragons and they are about to show themselves as real dragons?"

"Where to escape!" Jin'an took out the Water Talisman of Erlang Zhenjun, who had been sealed four times, and stuck it on the cliff.

Since this scorpion only grows in weak water, it is still under the jurisdiction of Erlang Zhenjun's Water Talisman. It is based on this consideration that Jin'an used Erlang Zhenjun's Water Talisman to block the cracks in the Dragon Ball before.

This time he was right again.

The three phantoms of the golden scorpion couldn't escape, and finally fell back into the dragon ball with all their strength, and turned into a dust-free liquid, with streaks of auspicious energy, exuding an amazing dragon essence, dragon energy, and dragon god spirituality.

But this is a dragon ball that is about to dry up, and there is not much fluid in the dragon ball.

Worried that the spirit would run away, the spoils were quickly divided among four people and one goat. Only the old Taoist suffered the most. He only drank half a sip before he couldn't stand the nosebleed. If he drank any more, his spirit would explode and he would die.

Thinking that sheep are better than him, and that he is not as good as a sheep, the old Taoist beat his chest with regret. If he had known this, he would have put more thought into his practice in his early years, and maybe he could drink a little more today.

The spirituality and life energy contained in this psychic liquid are very large, and it is a great tonic for the world. After drinking the psychic liquid, the four of them began to turn their hearts to the sky, and calmly digested what they had gained this time.

Even the goat fell asleep like a drunk.

Jin'an has the Five Viscera Immortal Temple to carry the energy of life essence together, and his digestion speed is much faster than others. Majestic vitality spreads to the limbs, warm and comfortable.

He had an illusion, as if he was going to become a fairy, break the void and go away... But at the critical moment, his physical body was like a shackle, he pulled it hard, fell heavily to the ground, and suddenly woke up.

The moment he opened his eyes, there was a beam of light, and he felt that his ears and eyes were clear, his eyes could see farther in the dark, his ears could hear the details in the distance, his heart was beating powerfully, and every beat burst out more vigorously. Exuberant vitality.

The heart generates the spleen, the spleen generates the lungs, the lungs generate the kidneys, the kidneys generate the liver, and the liver generates the heart.

As the heart and lungs become stronger, other viscera also grow stronger, and more vitality is born in the temple of the five viscera, which nourishes the essence and strengthens the body.

Less than a month since his last breakthrough, he broke through again!

Late stage of the second realm!

And it is only one step away from the later Dzogchen!
Jin An was delighted at first, then frowned, and finally, his eyes fixed on the dragon ball shell beside him.

At this time, several people are still in disbelief.

Qibo was the first to wake up. When he opened it, he let out a cry of astonishment, his face full of astonishment.

The next one who woke up was Mr. Yiyun, his beautiful eyes widened in a daze, his big eyes moved, his small vermilion mouth opened slightly in surprise, and then he couldn't help laughing out loud, brilliant and shocking.

The last one to wake up was the old Taoist priest, his body shook, and he jumped up suddenly: "Little brother, what are you doing!"

Jin An continued to concentrate on eating without raising his head: "Swallowing gold fossils, we can't waste all the treasures of heaven and earth."

The old Taoist was shocked again, his eyes were big and small, and then the fox asked a question: "Little brother, what does the dragon pearl shell taste like?"

Jin An thought for a while, and said seriously: "It's as crisp as crispy rice."

The greedy old Taoist stepped forward to take a bite, but he covered his mouth and cried out in pain. This thing was as hard as a rock, and almost broke his old teeth.

"Sure enough, I'm still young and my teeth are hard, so I like to eat hard food." The old Taoist said there was something in his words.

Nuo Da's dragon ball shell was eaten by Jin An alone, but his stomach was not a little swollen. Now his internal organs are strong, able to swallow gold fossils, digest them into spiritual medicine, and useless impurities are turned into turbid air and dissipated along the pores.

At this time, Mr. Yiyun and Qibo saw that Jin An had made great progress again, so they came up to congratulate Jin An, and then asked Jin An about their separation.

The team said as they walked, and continued on the road. At this time, the goat had already woken up. When they heard that there was flesh and blood in the golden body of the scorpion, several people looked thoughtful.

Qi Bo: "Could it be that there is no Xiwangmu Palace here, but a fierce place left by ancient ancestors, so it is poisonous miasma and yellow snakes are raised with giant-bellied ice corpses?"

Jin An: "I think the people who built this ruins didn't want to kill us at the beginning, because of the gold, the sacred tree of Yushu, and the team of jade warriors who worshiped Yushu."

"On the way to find you, I also thought about what's going on in this underground, and then I thought of a detail... We encountered a poisonous miasma, then fled back to the ruins of the dungeon, and survived. This is the first time the opponent's subordinate To be merciful is also a warning to us; later we put on the gold-haired jade clothes and went down to the lake again, and the golden miasma turned red. The blocked hole in the center of the lake has become a lake of cannibal ghosts."

"The reason why I have this conjecture is because I thought of so many gold mountains, gold artifacts, and jade cities that I saw along the way. These are all things that can be used to suppress evil and exorcise evil. A benevolent deity who lost his sanity after death and became a man-eating beast."

"But I still can't understand one thing. I saw the feng shui terrain here. This is the real cave of the dragon vein. It stands to reason that this should not be a place to suppress evil spirits and exorcise evil spirits. Could it be that those golden mountains and jade cities are used to It is used to prevent foreign evil spirits, because there is really a tomb of a god buried here, and you don't want the god's remains to be disturbed?"

Jin An told the old Taoist priest the feng shui pattern he saw when he climbed the snow-capped mountains, as well as some speculations.

After the old Taoist listened, his expression was solemn: "Little brother, you only know one thing, but you don't know the other thing."

Jin An humbly asked for advice: "I also know that with my novice's superficiality, in front of you, an old Taoist, you will be like a boss. If you have anything to say, it's okay to say it."

Everyone has their own strengths.

He is good at slaying demons and demons. In terms of geomantic omen, metaphysics and sophistication, he is indeed not as good as the old Taoist priest.

The old Taoist priest Nian Xu looked at Jin An with a smile: "Little brother, you are too self-effacing. Fengshui physiognomy is accumulated over many years. You can't take shortcuts by relying on natural materials, earth treasures, and panacea. You don't have a leader, little brother." It is purely self-study and the time is short, so it is very rare to see so many terrain trends."

The old Taoist first praised Jin'an, and then talked about what he saw with a serious face: "'There are mountains but no water, don't look for land', 'The law of geomantic omen, water is the first, and Tibetan wind is the second.', these two sentences The old saying is indeed true. It is best to have running water flowing near the mountain. If there is no open river, there is an underground river. As long as it is running water, it can bring endless vitality and reconcile yin and yang. The underground river is a bad water that can eat people, so this river is not Yangshui that can bring vitality, but yellow spring water that can trap people's souls. It is a dilemma. Brother, you are right at the beginning, those gold and jade It is indeed used to suppress demons, to suppress a big demon in the Sealing Mountain."

"Mountain God! Breaking Heaven and Judi Sixiang Bureau!" Jin An blurted out without thinking.

That's right, the Kunlun Mountains are the home of the gods, and only such a blessed land can suppress a mountain god or be used to arrange the overall situation of the world.

The ghost mother deliberately made such a big detour, just to guide him to the Kunlun Mountains to kill the mountain god, or to point out another location of the Four Elephant Bureau?
But then another strange thing happened, and Jin An wondered if there was something wrong with his guess. After going through several dangerous places and passing through a hot spring, they came to a place with a more open terrain. Huge forest of stone pillars.

And along the way they saw a large number of dead people who had just died.

Those stone pillars are huge, towering above the sky, reaching deep into the dark shadow above the head, like tall and standing stone monuments, and each stone pillar is coiled with a relief beast.

"This is the dragon species born from the breeding of Jiao, Dragon and Snake..."

"This is a piggy dragon, born of a dragon and a jiao..."

"This is a flying dragon, born of a dragon and a centipede..."

"This is Zoujiao, born of a dragon and a chicken..."

"This is rampant, born of a dragon and a pig..."

"How come there are so many dragon totems here?" Every time the old Taoist walked past a stone pillar, he recognized a kind of dragon, and couldn't help but let out an exclamation afterwards.

"The nine sons of the dragon are different. They are born with a horse, a dragon, a crane, a phoenix, an eagle, a roc, a wild boar, a dragon, a snake, a dragon, a dragon, a dragon, and a centipede. Bears with Pixiu, leopards with owls, whales with mirages..."

"Cough." Jin An saw that the old Taoist priest couldn't stop the car after talking, and he wanted to continue talking, so he quickly coughed to remind him that besides a few old and young men, there is also a Huanghua girl's house here.

The old Taoist also reacted, and said with a sneer: "When people are old, they are easy to talk, you should listen to a folk story, don't take it seriously, don't take it seriously."

Baa, the silly sheep pushed the old Taoist priest's back from behind at this time, it was listening with gusto just now, why didn't it suddenly say anything.

The old Taoist turned his lips away to Mr. Yiyun, who was walking side by side with Jin An, and said nothing.

Mr. Yiyun, who was walking with Jin An, said generously: "Why did Daoist Chen stop talking suddenly? I am also curious about how many kinds of dragon sons and grandchildren the dragon gave birth to. Sure enough, Daoist Jin'an was right, follow Daoist Chen You can always open your eyes and gain a lot of knowledge."

Jin An hurriedly changed the topic: "No matter how many descendants of the dragon there are, but looking at the posture in front of us, we seem to have guessed wrong before. This is neither the tomb of the gods nor has anything to do with the mountain gods and the Four Elephants Bureau. There are so many dragons. , but more like a dragon burial place?"

Jin An's words really reminded the old Taoist priest, he remembered one thing: "Old Taoist, I have been in Tubo for more than half a year, and I have heard many Tantric monks sing some epic legends, there are gods, and there are demons, such as saints. There is a Zan Demon sealed under the lake, and the Rakshasa Demon King under the snow-capped mountains. One of the epic poems is sung to the end of a dragon and a magic dragon... Knowing the scriptures, history, calligraphy and painting, medical skills, divination, etc., heals the dying and teaches people how to behave. The kind dragon lives in the holy land of Shambhala. The brutal killing will only bring disasters and destroy the avalanche plague storm dragon, which has another tragic ending. It is sealed in the deepest part of hell that no one can reach. Accepting the pain of burning hell fire day and night, even if you die, your soul will not find peace."

This epic has been sung for a long time, and the old Taoist will tell everyone in detail along the way.

This dragon forest is very large. Jin An and the others walked for half a day before they got out of the dragon forest. When their vision widened, they were already in another cave world. Magnificent, like coming to the kingdom of giant spirit gods, all are built around a huge old tree that has died.

The branches and leaves of the ancient tree have long since faded away, but the body of the tree alone is as huge as covering the sky and the earth.

"For such a big tree, how many thousands of years must this tree be? Tens of thousands of years old? If it really wants to live for such a long time, this tree has already become a spirit. It must have survived many gods!" The old Taoist stared blankly for a long time, and waited to turn After God came, he couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

"Little brother, do you think that sacred tree of heaven and earth is a Jianmu that only exists in ancient mythology?"

After saying this, even the old Taoist himself was taken aback by his words, because his conjecture was too bold.

Jianmu is a channel to communicate with heaven, earth and people, and it can lead directly to the heaven, where the gods are connected to heaven.

The meaning behind this cannot be summed up in a few simple words, but it is related to various legends about becoming gods and immortals.

Jin An looked very far away and saw many people moving around in the ruins of the ancient ruins. He thought for a moment and took the lead to walk in the front: "Is it Jianmu? Let's go down and have a look."

He had roughly calculated before that in order to digest the dragon balls, they had delayed for a day, and this day was enough for those large troops who were several steps behind them to catch up with their progress again.

……

Jin'an and the others are currently on a high cliff, very high from the ground. After walking a long way, they finally descended to the ground. A large paddy field has been reclaimed outside the ruins of the ancient ruins, but the paddy field is not planted with ordinary rice. , but a flawless jade rice with a width of three or four feet.

Each is wonderful.

Disguise real ones.

"Such a big rice, let's not say whether it is true or not, one grain of rice can kill the old Daoist me. If I eat it, just one grain of rice is enough for us five internal organs Taoist to hold and chew for a day. Tsk tsk, it is said to be for the ancient ancestors. Rather, what the people eat is for the dragons who live here." The old Taoist gasped in amazement.

You really don't say it.

What the old Taoist said is really possible.

It is possible that these huge palaces in front of me are really for those sons and grandsons outside to live in, and these dragon rice are also for those sons and grandsons to eat.

In Kunlun mythology, there are legends of Jiao, Ruoshui, Jianmu, Yushu, immortal tree, huge rice, and dragons, and these almost all appear in the same place and live together.

Jin'an and the others had a very clear purpose, that is to go straight to the heaven and earth sacred tree at the end of the world, and did not stop at the ruins of the grand ancient temples along the road, except to marvel.

As soon as they arrived near the Tiandi Shenmu, they heard mournful cries, and when they finally got closer, they found that it was the Tantric monks who were weeping.

And the people of the five major tribes on the plateau also stood silently, the atmosphere seemed sad and heavy.

On the contrary, the people from the Western Regions, the West Tianzhu, and the Southern Man kept looking around at the sacred tree of heaven and earth, without any sadness on their faces.

It turned out that these tantric monks finally found several missing venerables, but these venerables all passed away under the tree, but because of the profound Dharma of these venerables, even after passing away for a year, their bodies are still intact.

And on the huge tree trunks behind several venerables, several symbols were written in golden blood. Jin An quietly asked Mr. Yiyun what it meant.

Mr. Yiyun: "That is the last words of several venerables. There are only two simple words 'go back'."

Jin An lowered his head in thought.

Next, the tantric monks began to circle around spontaneously, praying for the blessings of several venerables, and the old Taoist priests also joined in.

During this period, Jin An followed the example of others in looking at the dead tree of heaven and earth. This tree is too huge. Even though it is dead, it still has a vast and ancient atmosphere, giving people a majestic sense of ancient atmosphere.

He noticed that there was a huge painting on the trunk of the ancient tree that looked like it was left by a giant. Around the trunk, the painting actually mentioned what is the end of the sacred tree!
Jin An hastened to watch attentively.

It is mentioned in the painting that if you climb to the end of the sky along the sacred tree, you will be able to lead to another world. There are three snow-capped mountains in the shape of triangular pyramids, where gods live, guarding the human world, and blocking many dragons and extraterrestrial demons.This road to the sky has been sealed, and future generations will never be able to climb it, unless the chosen one is born in heaven or there are three major disasters in the world.

The sky crashed and the ground cracked, it should be referring to the big avalanche last year, the god tree dried up, the sky crashed and the ground cracked, the snow mountain turned red, all three things happened now.

"Could it be that the end of this sacred tree is really the legendary holy place that has never been found, Shambhala?"

Shambhala, this is the word that Jin An heard the most while standing under the ancient tree.

According to legend, Shambhala is a holy land of happiness, the holy land of bliss in the West, where there is no poverty and hardship, no disease and death, and no intrigue, jealousy and vendetta between people.Flowers bloom there, water is always clear, gold is everywhere, and mountains are full of gems. There is no money here, and any food you want will fly in front of you. The lifespan of Shambhala people is boundless. Only when you want to die will you die in a deep sleep of happiness... …

Serfs hope that they will suffer all kinds of suffering in this world and live in Shambhala after death; ordinary people and nobles are also willing to dedicate their gold accumulated in their lives to the Buddha and the Queen of Praise of the Snow Mountain, hoping that after death, they will live in Shambhala. Being able to live in Shambhala; even the ultimate goal of Tantric monks is to spend their entire lives to find the legendary secret place Shambhala, to find the Buddha of Infinite Light, and to listen to the Buddha's explanation of the higher meaning of Buddha... So this Shambhala is popular among the locals. The status in my heart is very high, and it is the spiritual holy place of countless people, and no one is allowed to slander the holy place.

The folks have always described the location of the entrance of Shambhala differently, and each has its own theory, but no one has ever found it.

But Jin'an is very clear that this is definitely not Shambhala.

Because there are legends about Kunlunxu such as Jiaojiao, Ruoshui, Jianmu, huge rice, and dragons, etc., have nothing to do with Shambhala. This is Kunlunxu, the hometown of gods, and the place where gods live.There are no traces of Buddha here, there is no Raodeng Mangoba who is the incarnation of Vajrapani Chandorji, and there is no Buddha of Infinite Light, also known as Amitabha.
