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

Chapter 26 Cultivation and Seeking Immortals

Yes.

Although Patriarch Bodhi regarded Ao Qing as a "perfect" rough jade.

But, in fact, I still always feel that Ao Qing's raw jade lacks a little bit of quality.

In his eyes, Ao Qing seemed to force himself to concentrate in some way.

And have to say.Patriarch Bodhi deserves to be Patriarch Bodhi.

Just as he thought, Ao Qing was able to concentrate and forget about distractions.In fact, it is not that he himself is clear-sighted.

Instead, rely on the souls of "Ao Qing" two lives.

Ao Qing had the spiritual suffering in his previous life and the patience of waiting for a monkey in this life, which made him more calm and focused.

It's not that he hasn't thought about the "mortal affairs" in the eyes of the patriarch.

Ao Qing also knew that she had stayed here for too long.According to common sense, it is likely that a long time has passed.

Maybe Ao Guang is worrying about himself, maybe the Dragon Clan is going through hardships.

After all, the Dragon Prince of the Dragon Clan suddenly disappeared on the way back. This is no small matter!
However, Ao Qing also knew.

If you can't get a chance here, you can even embark on the road of cultivation and worship the teacher Bodhi.

Then even if you go back by yourself, it's useless!
If one's own strength is low and cannot support the Dragon Clan.Even if Ao Guang is not worried about himself today, one day he will still worry about himself.

If you are not strong enough to protect the Dragon Clan.Even if the Dragon Clan will not suffer today, one day, they will still fall apart and fall apart!
and so.

Concentrate, become stronger, embark on the road of cultivation, and worship Master Bodhi.This is the only thought in Ao Qing's mind now!
Other fears, unknowns, anxieties about the future.They are all like the "nine difficulties in the world of mortals" of Taoism.

Ordinary people have to go through nine difficulties to practice Taoism.They are: persecution of food and clothing, invitation and obstruction by elders, entanglement of love, entanglement of fame and fortune, endless disasters, restraint by blind teachers, differences of opinion, slackness of will, and time spent.

Although Ao Qing is not a mortal, there are still similar bonds, for example, the biggest bond is "Dragon Clan"!
However, when I have no ability to solve it, this mortal entanglement is nothing more than distracting thoughts that interfere with my pursuit of Tao.

And when you have the ability.The "nine difficulties in the world of mortals" will naturally...disappear in smoke!
but.

The reason is simple, but after all, "it is easier to know than to do".

Relying on the soul of the two lives, coupled with the tempering of the body, whenever a thought arises, Ao Qing forcibly suppresses it, so that he can barely do this.

But even so, the thoughts of "nine difficulties in the world of mortals" still cannot be defeated.Every now and then, Ao Qing would be troubled.

Rather than saying that he possessed the "Dao Xin", in fact, he forcibly suppressed the "mortal heart" with the spiritual power of the two lifetimes.

Patriarch Bodhi also realized this point.That's why he felt that Ao Qing was still a little bit worse.

The so-called Dao Xin is the heart toward Dao.

The nine difficulties in the world of mortals are the fetters of the heart, and it can also be said to be a kind of "inner demon".

Today's Ao Qing has not eliminated her inner demons, nor does she have a true heart for Taoism.

Everything he did was actually supported by a powerful soul, constantly fighting against the inner demons, and then achieved short-term victories.

However, the strength of the inner demon is that it cannot be eliminated from the perspective of "confrontation".

Every confrontation will make the inner demon stronger. If it is simply suppressed, sooner or later there will be a day when it will be exhausted.

Blocking is worse than sparse.

Only by possessing the "Dao Heart" and understanding the inner demons can one truly embark on the "road of cultivation" instead of simply "the road of seeking immortality".

Now Ao Qing can practice immortality, but it is difficult to practice Taoism.

Of course.This "Tao Heart" is by no means that simple.Even the countless immortals and gods in the Three Realms are often only "cultivating immortals" rather than "cultivating Taoism".

Who has the "Dao Heart"?Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva with a great compassionate heart, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva who saves hell with one-hearted ambition, Taiyi who saves the suffering and rescues the gods who find their voices, and Emperor Zhenwu who sticks to himself and suppresses Beiju Luzhou!

Also, the Jade Emperor Tianzun who has gone through hundreds of billions of kalpas without making a fuss!
They all have Dao Xin.

And those who have the Dao heart, as long as they have enough precipitation, can at least be called "Tianzun"!
"I hope you can gain something from this third level."

Patriarch Bodhi gently flicked his sleeves.

Before he knew it, there seemed to be slight ripples in his heart that had gone through many years without any waves.

after all.

He really values ​​Ao Qing very much!
And the "potential", "perseverance", and "savvy" that Ao Qing has shown now are indeed qualified to become his apprentice!

And who is a teacher who doesn't want his apprentice to be able to excel in blue?

What's more, Dao Xin is indeed very important.If there is strength in space, but no heart.Maybe, it will even be used by the demons.

In the long years, such "geniuses" are not without.

So, thinking of this, Patriarch Bodhi calmed down, and a Bodhi seed suddenly appeared on the top of the Xiaguang Peak.

With the bodhi seeds planted. With a sound of "boo", like a dragonfly touching water, a sapling of a bodhi tree emerges from the stone.

This bodhi tree is the "third test" that Bodhi Patriarch prepared for Ao Qing.And this is also the crystallization of the "wisdom heart" of Bodhi Patriarch!

In order for Ao Qing to be able to plant the seeds of "Tao Heart", Patriarch Bodhi also took great pains.

It's safe to say that.

Although the present Ao Qing has no apprenticeship, Patriarch Bodhi has regarded him as his true disciple!
That's why he spared no effort to help Ao Qing.

If we say that the first pass still has the meaning of "comparison" and "test", this second pass is more like a chance.

And the third level is to completely help Ao Qing to understand the "Tao Heart", so that Ao Qing will become a "Taoist" in the future instead of just a "Cultivator of Immortals"!
but.

The current Ao Qing naturally doesn't know.

Now he is still hitting the mountain, holding stones and building steps.

And that "step" is finally almost enough for him to leap up in one fell swoop and step into the peak of Xiaguang!
"it's time."

Ao Qing's body is attached to her "stone steps" platform.

His stone steps are very solid, but compared to his huge figure, they are a bit shabby.

But Ao Qing didn't care.Because, he is about to use his strength to surpass the "stone steps" and reach the "peak".

His eyes looked at the "Xiaguang" on the peak.

Immediately, the eyes gradually became firmer.The surrounding blue light gathered, quickly forming a powerful force.

Buzz!

The stone steps gave off a huge earthquake.

Dust filled the air, layers of cracks appeared on the stone steps, and the stone steps began to shake.

Ao Qing couldn't help worrying that the stone steps were broken.But now, he couldn't afford to hesitate.

He concentrated on using his mana and jumped up abruptly!

And then...

Boom! !
The stone steps shattered!
Ao Qing jumped up with all her strength, broke through the heavy cloud barriers, and flew towards the peak!
