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

Chapter 17 The Woodcutter
When Ao Qing saw the rays of light emerging from the continent, she became cautious at first, but immediately relaxed again.

This is the South China Sea!
However, the Dragon King of the South China Sea was not awakened by this continent stretching thousands of miles.

You know, although the Dragon King of the Four Seas doesn't say how powerful it is, it definitely can't be said to be weak.

Especially above the sea, it has the background of the dragon clan.

But now, even such a "conspicuous" place has not been noticed.

It is enough to see that the person who created this place must be an extraordinary existence.

So what is his purpose?Is it only you who can see it, or do you just happen to see it?

Or in other words, this is a blessed place, and I just bumped into it unconsciously?
Ao Qing thought for a moment.But at this moment, that Xiaguang had come to him.

Furthermore, the rays of light surrounded Ao Qing, seeming to shine on Ao Qing with some kind of joy.

"Is this, inviting me?"

Ao Qing felt this kind of joy from the rays of the sun.

At the same time, inexplicably, a premonition of "opportunity" emerged from his heart.

He paused for a moment, and without hesitation, he bent down and descended towards the continent under the guidance of the rays of the sun!

Yes.

Ao Qing still chose to go there.

One reason is that this glow seems to have spirituality, and there is no sense of evil.

Second, if there is really a great supernatural being behind this continent, then he will not only target himself.Maybe, this glow is a sign of accepting someone with predestined relationship.

I want to get a chance again and again, and now, the chance is likely to be in front of me, if I am uncertain, wouldn't I become "Ye Gong is a good dragon"?

Anyway, I am the Dragon Prince of the East China Sea, and even now I have some small friendship with Guanyin Bodhisattva.

Ordinary demons don't have the courage to challenge the background of the dragon clan.If you really encounter any danger that is too troublesome, you can also recite the name of Bodhisattva silently and ask Bodhisattva to help.

Ao Qing felt that such a merciful Guanyin Bodhisattva would not treat her as dead... right?

In short, Ao Qing came to the mainland very quickly under the guidance of this Xiaguang.

Immediately, the rays of light converged, and bursts of primitive simplicity were released around.

Ao Qing discovered that there are quite a few purple bamboo forests that resemble Bodhisattvas in this continent.Some of these mountains, from the outside, although they occupy a large area, they can be seen to the edge.

Ordinarily, with his huge body of two thousand feet, it would be somewhat crowded on the ground.

But when it really fell to the ground, the continent seemed to be magnified.The same is true for the purple bamboo forest of Guanyin Bodhisattva!

This further proves that this place may be the ashram of a great saint.And since he invited him, maybe...it was really his chance!
But having said that, such supernatural powers are really puzzling.

In Zizhu Forest, Ao Qing hadn't thought about it.But on this continent, he clearly felt the mystery of this supernatural power.

The closer you get to the earth, the stronger the earth becomes.And the farther away from the earth, the earth will gradually become smaller.

This supernatural power, in Chinese mythology, should be close to the great magic power of "the sun and the moon in the pot" and "the universe in the sleeve".

Ao Qing looked around.

But seeing above the mainland, thousands of mountains push away doors, and ten thousand people open their screens.There are continuous ups and downs of peaks, and all avenues lead to high and wide.

The foot of the forest is deep, and the source is resounding.The hazy light locks emerald lightly, and the black color is cold and blue.

The undulating hills show the dragon's veins, and there must be immortals hiding their names!
What a fairy ashram, a blessed place in heaven!

Ao Qing was about to go to the mountain when she suddenly heard someone's voice in the depths of the forest.Listening carefully, it turned out to be the sound of singing.

"The Jiazi in the mountains is like an instant, and a dream is floating and clear. Half a lifetime of wine, a hundred years of drunkenness, a mirror of water and moon. Ants rely on three points, and they can travel thousands of miles, and they all return to fallen leaves. Take a few rotten trees, cut trees with tinkling, laugh at the world of mortals, and sigh at birth and death. "

Listening to this poem, Ao Qing couldn't help but feel a kind of great desolation.

Life is like a dream, whether it is a hero of a generation or a beggar on the roadside.Whether it is a mayfly that lives and dies in a day, or a kunpeng that rides the wind for thousands of miles.In the end, it will inevitably return to the loess!

Is there anything immortal in the world?
Even the countless great saints of ancient times, I am afraid that there will be a day when they disappear.After all, in Taoist legends, even "heaven and earth" have a lifespan!

"No, this poem doesn't seem to be written by ordinary people!"

Ao Qing suddenly came back to her senses.

He leaned down, and looked at the deep forest with the huge dragon head. Although he was huge, he was a dragon, with colorful eyes and a wide field of vision.When the eyes converged, they found that it was a woodcutter, chopping wood with an axe.

The woodcutter was dressed plainly, but he was extremely clean. His hands and feet were slow, but every time the ax fell into the tree, it was extremely light, and there was almost no sound.So much so that his singing voice is so loud that there is no impurity in it.

The woodcutter!
Ao Qing's pupils shrank slightly.

Why is the scene in front of me so similar to a scene in "Journey to the West"?
It seems to be the woodcutter that Monkey Sun met when he went to Fangcun Mountain!

However, the woodcutter's poems are different from those recorded in "Journey to the West".I remember that the poems in Journey to the West should be "watching chess and playing bad games" or something.

Poetry, of course, is different, no surprise there.

Because since the woodcutter can exist here, it means that he is not an ordinary person in all likelihood, and naturally he will not just read a poem.

but!

The woodcutter is here, doesn't he mean that this place...is Lingtai Square Inch Mountain! ?

Could it be that this is the ashram of Patriarch Bodhi?
Ao Qing couldn't help being moved!

You know, why did he guard the monkey?In fact, isn't it just to find a way to worship Patriarch Bodhi?

Now, before the monkey was born, could it be that...he had this chance?
But thinking about it carefully, it seems that nothing is impossible.In Journey to the West, the disciple of Patriarch Bodhi is more than one monkey.Moreover, there are twelve words under his door, "the great wisdom, the true nature, the nature, the sea, the Ying, the enlightenment, the enlightenment, the perfect enlightenment", and the monkey is the tenth.

It is very possible that before this, he has already accepted many apprentices.It's just that there are not many apprentices recorded in "Journey to the West", and most of them seem to have no achievements.

But what he was in was a real world.Naturally, the records in "Journey to the West" cannot be taken as the standard.

Of course.Ao Qing is still a little strange, if this is Fangcun Mountain, why does it appear on the South China Sea?Shouldn't Fangcun Mountain be in Xiniu Hezhou?
However, this does not seem to be surprising.

After all, there can be only one dojo for such great supernatural beings, or there can be dojos everywhere.

Some people even say that Fangcun Mountain is the inner world of monkeys, and reality does not exist.It is also possible!

In short, when Ao Qing saw this woodcutter, his heart was really moved.

In particular, the way of "harmony" of the Dragon Clan is to connect the three religions of "Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism" in an impartial manner.

If you take this as a benchmark and look at the Three Realms, I am afraid that only Patriarch Bodhi, who is mysterious and powerful, and "proficient in the three religions", is the most suitable master for you!
