My Journey to the West on the Heavenly Road

Chapter 31 The Jinghe Dragon King Appears
A reed marsh in Jishui River Bend.

The gray donkey was lying on the bank of the river, gnawing on the reed leaves.

Jiang Yuan sat cross-legged on the stone, lowered his eyes and meditated:

"Ice and cold through the ages, all things are still and still, and nothing changes. There is no abandonment, no abandonment, no action and no self."

The yellow-haired mouse has been chattering and encouraging Jiang Yuan to steal gold, Jiang Yuan is annoyed by the talk, so he simply takes advantage of the short time to practice meditation formula.

This meditative formula is indeed extraordinary.

After Jiang Yuan sat down, he recited it silently once to calm his mind, to recite it twice to unite his mind and mind, and after three times, he was completely free from thoughts, worries, and selflessness.

As time passed, the sun gradually rose to the highest point in the sky.

"It's time, are you still awake?"

The scream of the rat demon awakened Jiang Yuan.

After opening his eyes, he took a few breaths before gradually recovering from the silent state, and his pupils slowly recovered.

The old monkey suddenly said:
"This meditative formula seems not to be simple. Your state just now is almost in trance."

The noon sun above his head made Jiang Yuan feel a little dazed. Hearing this, he instinctively asked:
"But is there a problem?"

The old monkey was silent for a while, organized his words, and replied:
"For ordinary people, it should be a double-edged sword."

"The first step in the practice of building a foundation is to preserve thoughts. It is necessary to completely cut off external disturbances and enter the deepest level of meditation, so as to complete inner meditation."

"Ordinary people have complicated thoughts and are in the purgatory of the world of mortals. It is difficult to achieve complete concentration, so this first step is called the natural moat."

"In my opinion, this meditation formula can allow ordinary people to easily enter the samadhi, and easily cross that chasm."

"However, ordinary people who have no practice, once they are completely in samadhi, no one wakes them up, and they can't fast the valley, they may just sit in the deadlock."

"The skeleton in the secret room that Xiao Jin mentioned probably died in a state of no thought or thought."

"However, for fellow daoists, it should be beneficial and harmless.

After you take the Little Dragon and Tiger Pill and start practicing, with the help of this method, you will definitely get twice the result with half the effort. "

Jiang Yuan was fully awake, so he smiled and said: "You say that, I feel like I took advantage of that little demon."

The mouse demon swayed on the grass at Jiang Yuan's feet and screamed, "You just took advantage of me, give me all your spirit wine."

Those small bean-like eyes were hazy, and when he opened his mouth, he breathed out the smell of alcohol, and beside him lay an empty wine sac.

After all, the little demon couldn't hold back, and drank up his share of spiritual wine when Jiang Yuan fell into a samadhi.

Picking up the yellow-haired mouse, I found that although it was drunk and hazy, its messy hair had regained its luster, and even the burnt bald skin had grown light fluff.

Jiang Yuan's eyes showed joy, it seems that the spirit wine brewed by Jiaolin has a very good effect.

"It's just that, I really have to accept Ao Yong's love."

Throwing the drunk yellow-haired rat into the basket, Jiang Yuan patted his buttocks to get up, then walked around the reeds and came to the open space at the river bend.

"Woo woo woo", the conch blew.

A moment later, the surface of the Jishui River bubbled up, and immediately, a huge bubble emerged from the bottom of the river, in which stood Ao Yong.

Ao Yong waved his hand to disperse the blisters, stepped on the surface of the water and came to Jiang Yuan, smiled lightly and said, "You are very punctual."

Jiang Yuan respectfully cupped his hands and bowed: "How dare you make Chang Shi wait longer."

Ao Yong nodded, turned his palms over, and two wooden boxes, one large and one small, fell into his hands, and handed them to Jiang Yuan: "The herbs and ganoderma you want."

Jiang Yuan took it happily, clasped his fists again and said, "Thank you, Chang Shi!"

"No, you deserve it."

Ao Yong waved his hand, his eyes suddenly turned to the reeds.

Jiang Yuan immediately understood that the head of the Divine Palace had discovered the rat demon, or an old monkey plus a rat demon, so he quickly said: "That is my companion, accompany me to the sea."

Ao Yong indeed found the rat demon, and also vaguely noticed the existence of the old monkey.

Hearing Jiang Yuan's words, he withdrew his gaze and looked at Jiang Yuan with interest.

When he was interrogating Liu Xuanwei, apart from scolding his own father and Ao Yong, the son of He Bo scolded Jiang Yuan for being a despicable sneak attack, and scolding Jiang Yuan for using evil methods.

Only then did Ao Yong know that Jiang Yuan could turn into a ghost with a clear spirit similar to the Yin God.

At this moment, seeing that Jiang Yuan was with demons again, and there was another kind around him, he couldn't help but think to himself: An interesting person.

Interested, Ao Yong asked: "You go to sea, but you are going to ten continents and three islands to seek Jiu Sui He?"

Jiang Yuan hesitated for a moment, and said bluntly: "I planned to go to Huaguo Mountain at first, but after hearing Chang Shi's words, now I also want to go to Shizhou and Three Islands."

"The Mountain of Flowers and Fruits of Sun Wukong, Monkey King?" Ao Yongqi asked.

"Changshi also knows about Sun Wukong?" Jiang Yuan was pleasantly surprised.

"Wreak havoc in the Dragon Palace and the underworld, and defeat the Heavenly Soldiers of King Tota Li. How can I not know such a character."

Ao Yong showed fascination, and suddenly said with emotion:
"I heard that he was born only three or four hundred years ago. I really don't know how he cultivated that amazing mana."

Jiang Yuan swallowed the "Fang Cun Mountain Bodhi Patriarch" on his lips.

Even Sun Wukong didn't dare to mention it casually, so he still didn't want to play dead.

After sighing, Ao Yong said to Jiang Yuan: "But he went to Tiangong more than a hundred years ago, I'm afraid you won't be able to see him here."

Jiang Yuan pondered for a while, then asked: "Changshi knows, how many years has it been since Monkey King went to heaven?"

Ao Yong seemed to really appreciate Monkey King, and did the math on the spot:
"I transformed into a dragon and became a Dao when Chu and Han were fighting for hegemony, and Sun Wukong won the title of Great Sage Equaling Heaven a few years before I transformed into a dragon."

"Well, it should be around the time of the death of the first emperor."

Jiang Yuan's history is indeed not good, but the time when Qin Shihuang died of illness is still impressive.

After calculating in his heart for a while, Jiang Yuan's pupils suddenly shrank.

It has been about 180 years since the death of the First Emperor.

And Sun Wukong became the Monkey King in the sky, which is half a year.

One day in the sky and one year on the ground, then half a year in the heavenly palace, and 180 years on the ground——

That is to say, Sun Wukong is now, maybe he just finished eating flat peaches in the flat peach garden, and he is making a big feast in the fairyland!
He set off at this time, and it might take several months at sea.

I go!

In this way, if they rushed to Huaguo Mountain at this time, wouldn't they be running into the second Huaguo Mountain War?
Do you still want to go to Huaguo Mountain?

In Ao Yong's eyes, Jiang Yuan's complexion suddenly changed, which was very strange.

Jiang Yuan met Ao Yong's eyes, swallowed his saliva, and replied dryly: "I think of something else."

Ao Yong suddenly felt unhappy: I am the majestic chief of the Jishuihe mansion, and I have left the affairs of the mansion to chat with you, an ordinary person, and you are distracted in front of me?
Ao Yong's tone suddenly turned cold, and he opened his mouth to see off the guests: "He Bo still needs to make some preparations for his marriage, so I won't keep you."

Of course Jiang Yuan saw that he had offended Ao Yong, but he couldn't express his distress, so he had to bow his hands:
"No matter what, I will remember the long history of love."

Ao Yong was noncommittal, and was about to return to the river, suddenly paused, turned his head and added:
"If you can meet the Monkey King at Huaguo Mountain and return later, you can come here and tell about it."

Jiang Yuan was delighted: This dragon really respects and admires Sun Houzi.

"I will make a decision."

Just as Jiang Yuan was about to respond, Ao Yong's eyes froze suddenly, and he looked up at the sky.

Then he saw a huge cloud and mist floating towards him, and there was a dragon shadow flickering in the cloud and mist, and there was more than one dragon.

The cloud fell straight into Jishui, and then melted into the water silently.

Ao Yong didn't move, but stood on the water with his eyes closed, not knowing what he was thinking.

Jiang Yuan was naturally very curious about the dragon that came from the clouds, but he couldn't ask.

Gululu bubbles appeared again on the surface of the water, and then a red prawn head emerged, shouting at Aoyong:
"Lord Changshi, the Dragon King of Jinghe, together with the Dragon King Huaidu and a group of dragon sons, are here to attend He Bo's wedding. Mr. Xu invites you to come and receive him."

When Jiang Yuan heard "Jinghe Dragon King", his heart was shocked.

As long as you know the story of Journey to the West, you must be very fond of this name.

Its appearance represents the beginning of learning from scriptures.

Jiang Yuan never expected that he would be caught off guard by the Dragon King of Jinghe.

"Ugh--"

With a sigh, Jiang Yuan's thoughts were pulled out of his mind.

When he raised his head, Ao Yong had already submerged in the water, leaving only ripples on the river surface.

Why did the governor of Hefu sigh?

Recalling Journey to the West, the Dragon King of Jinghe even dared to change the will of the heaven without permission, which seemed to be a domineering temper.

I'm afraid that the Dragon King brought a group of dragon sons to Jishuihe Mansion with ill intentions.

Just don't know why.

"Hey, what the hell am I doing here?"

Jiang Yuan put away the wooden box of herbs, turned around and walked towards the reeds.

"It's over, let's find a boat and go to sea."

He still decided to go to Huaguo Mountain.

If the situation is good at that time, go to pay homage to Xiashuilian Cave, if the situation is not good, go to Shizhou and Three Islands to ask for Jiusuihe.
