Journey to the West: I, the Dragon Prince of the East China Sea, worship Bodhi

Chapter 13 Reaching the South China Sea
Yes.The reason why Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva pays attention to the Dragon Clan, and even pays special attention to Ao Qing, is precisely because Patriarch Bodhi came here beforehand and asked her to help, to see if Ao Qing is really destined to be with him.

Because what Ao Qing did really moved Patriarch Bodhi's heart.

It's just that Guanyin Bodhisattva didn't pay much attention to it after some calculations.After all, although Ao Qing has shown benevolence, virtue, talent and wisdom.But Buddhism has always regarded "Buddha nature" as the most important thing.

On this point, before this, Ao Qing had never shown anything unusual.

On the contrary, Dragon Girl has the root of wisdom since childhood.That's why Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva readily accepts Dragon Girl as his threat.

How do you know.

After observing with a glance today, after hearing Ao Qing's understanding of "obsession", Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva realized... maybe he had "missed his eyes"!
This child's Buddha nature is astonishing.If you can enter the Buddhist gate, you may even become a Buddha in the future!

Thinking of this, Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva shook his head slightly and smiled wryly.Patriarch Bodhi is worthy of being a figure like Buddha.My own vision is still not as long-term as it is.

But in fact, Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva did not know that Patriarch Bodhi, who was observing Ao Qing at this time, was a little surprised by Ao Qing's theory of "sand house".

Although, many great supernatural beings in the Three Realms can see through this "non-persistence" theory.However, Ao Qing is just a "young dragon" who was born only 500 years ago.

Non-attachment, understanding of obsession, can be said to be a more profound content in Buddhism, and sometimes even intelligent monks often have doubts about Dharma enforcement.

But as a "young dragon", Ao Qing can not only learn without a teacher and understand on her own, but can also use short and easy-to-understand stories to teach the dragon girl... It seems that I read it right, this Dragon Prince is really Have a relationship with yourself!

Of course.

Buddha nature is only one aspect of it.

Although now Ao Qing is qualified to become his disciple.But how far can he go?
At this point, Patriarch Bodhi still wanted to give it a try.

Just having Buddha nature may not be enough.Patriarch Bodhi is not a simple Buddhist.He is not only proficient in Buddhism, but also very proficient in Taoism and Confucianism.

The so-called "magnificent performance of the three times, the subtlety of all dharmas"!
Confucianism is the foundation, Taoism is the foundation, and Buddhism is the foundation.

Now Ao Qing has Buddha-nature, but Buddha-nature is just a kind of nature, easy to know but hard to do, sometimes understanding, may not be able to bring this principle to the extreme.

What's more, Taoism and Tianlun are also very important points.If you only have Buddha nature, but do not have other qualities.Then this Ao Qing... under her sect, perhaps her achievements are limited after all.

Who doesn't want their disciples to be even better?

Therefore, Patriarch Bodhi still intends to observe again.

He opened his eyes and waved the whisk in his hand.

I saw above the sea, suddenly the water column rolled, the torrent surged, and then, a continent of unknown geometry was pulled up from the bottom of the sea!
On the mainland, time seems to be dialed quickly, and it evolves rapidly, giving birth to flowers, trees, mountains, rivers, and clouds.

Above the South China Sea, such a continent appeared out of thin air.Ordinarily, the Dragon King of the South China Sea should be able to sense it.

But what is shocking is that Patriarch Bodhi formed such a skillful gesture with a flick of his sleeve, unexpectedly... did not cause any huge movement, and it was even as natural as a breeze blowing the moon.

What's more, not to mention the Dragon King, even the surrounding aquatic people didn't have much reaction.

……

……

Naturally, Ao Qing didn't know that she would be noticed by Guanyin Bodhisattva and Patriarch Bodhi.

This is also of course.

Of course, Guanyin Bodhisattva or Patriarch Bodhi.They are all great supernatural beings in the Three Realms, similar to the methods of "Heavenly Eyes" and "Heavenly Ears" in the Six Paths of Buddhism, and they can easily do it.

But, who usually observes an ordinary dragon?
Moreover, Ao Qing didn't pray devoutly, chanting the name of "Bodhisattva".

In common sense, even in the procession of ceremonies, Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva should not have observed him too much.

In fact, it was indeed the case.

If there is no Patriarch Bodhi, Guanyin Bodhisattva may not pay attention to Ao Qing, let alone take a high view of Ao Qing's so-called "Buddha nature".

It can only be said that this is also due to chance.

Although there is no chance, he will use his own method to pursue it.But this saves Ao Qing a lot of effort.

Of course, he doesn't know this yet.

Now Ao Qing has crossed the East China Sea with the Dragon Girl and the Ninety Thousand Shui Clan and came to the South China Sea.

As soon as he came to the South China Sea, the Dragon King of the South China Sea soon felt something.In the South China Sea, there were dozens of generals who divided the water one after another, leading the soldiers from the South China Sea to the surface, and saluted Ao Qing and Longnu.

In addition, the Dragon King of the South China Sea even personally came forward to greet Ao Qing.

I saw that in the sea, as General Fenshui opened a curtain of thousands of miles, flames and light and shadows appeared in it, and then a huge red dragon with thousands of feet rolled out of the sea, covering the sky and the sun, with a strong momentum, Its breath is also hot and urgent.

That is the Dragon King of the South China Sea, Ao Qin!

Dragons in the East China Sea belong to wood, so most of them are blue dragons; in the South China Sea, they belong to fire, most of them are red dragons.

In addition, the North Sea belongs to water, and most of the dragons in the North Sea are also black dragons.The West Sea belongs to gold, and the "gold" here is not gold, but "gold and iron", so the dragons of the West Sea are white dragons.

The innate supernatural powers of the dragons of the four seas are also different because of this.In terms of the method of controlling water, the Dragon Clan of the North Sea is stronger, and in terms of the method of controlling fire, the Dragon King of the South Sea is the strongest.

The Dragon King of the South China Sea knew all about the fact that the East China Sea was going to send the Dragon Girl to Mount Luojia in Putuo, South China Sea.

He dared not neglect even more.Therefore, he appeared in person, greeted Ao Qing, and led the way for Ao Qing.

After all, Ao Qing is the Dragon Prince of the East China Sea, equivalent to the future Dragon King of the East China Sea!
The East Sea is the most precious of the four seas. In the future, Ao Qing will be the "Lord of the Four Seas" after Ao Guang! !

Although the Dragon King of the South China Sea is Ao Qing's uncle in terms of identity.But even so, he did not dare to rely on his status to despise Ao Qing.After all, this is also the "rule" that the Dragon Clan of the Four Seas has always followed.

With the Dragon King of the South China Sea leading the way, Ao Qing knew that the Putuo Luojia Mountain in the South China Sea was close at hand!
On the South China Sea, Ao Qing didn't have much conversation with the Dragon Girl when he met the Dragon King of the South China Sea.

After another journey, with the guidance of the dragon clan of the South China Sea, Ao Qing soon saw a bamboo forest, standing by the sea, and the bamboo forest was attached between two high mountains.

That is Putuo Rock, Luojia Mountain!
But you can see that the mountains are majestic and stretched across the mountains, and the hills and mountains are continuous; the water on the island is shimmering, and the flowers and trees are verdant.

The vegetation in the forest is dense, green and green; there are huge rock formations in the path, and strange stones stand steeply.

The winding road twists and turns, and the birds sing from time to time.

What a pure place of Buddhism!
