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

Chapter 32
Ao Qing still cared a lot about monkeys.

However, it is different from before.The reason why Ao Qing cared about Monkey before was because he wanted to apprentice with Monkey, but now, he can't help but think that Monkey will be his "junior brother" in the future...

It is also a very pleasant thing to be Monkey King's senior brother.

Of course, thinking about it, Ao Qing didn't think too much about it.

For him now, cultivation still comes first.After the monkey gets started, at that time, there will be a lot of karma!
Just now he met the patriarch and got the name from the patriarch.Immediately, the woodcutter arranged a place to stay.

And three days later, it was the day when he started to practice in Samsung Cave.

Yes, three days later!
This is also because Patriarch Bodhi said that it takes three days to prepare for teaching Ao Qing.

Yes.Just as Ao Qing expected, the three "tests" set by the patriarch for himself are actually similar to the content of "pre-teaching".

It took me more than 200 years to pass the three tests, so I don't need to live in Sanxing Cave for a long time like the monkey in the original "Journey to the West" before I can grant the true biography of the patriarch.

However, Ao Qing didn't associate monkeys before, but think about it now.That monkey might have experienced something similar to himself.

He walks the "road of repair" by himself, while the monkey walks the "road of mortals" in Nanfangbuzhou.

He moved mountains and built steps by himself, and reached Xiaguang Peak with great perseverance.The monkey also crossed mountains and seas, and arrived at Fangcun Mountain with great perseverance.

I realized Bodhi in my own heart, and guessed, it corresponds to the monkey eating peaches seven times in the "Lantao Mountain" after he apprenticed to the teacher in the Three Star Cave.

Therefore, it seems that if you want to enter the Three Star Cave, you must have understanding, perseverance and Taoism.

But, don't be like a monkey, who was kicked out of Samsung Cave not long after he really learned art...

Ao Qing kept it in mind.

Immediately, he stood up slowly, pushed open the door, and looked towards the courtyard.

There are still three days before the actual practice begins, so he naturally wants to take a good look at the Three Star Cave.After all, this is the dojo of Patriarch Bodhi!

Who is Patriarch Bodhi?That is Sun Wukong's master!

As for his true identity, there were many speculations in his previous life.Some people say that he is the incarnation of the Supreme Lord, and some say that he is the incarnation of the Buddha.Some people also say that he is the mentor of monkeys with supernatural powers and self-enlightenment.

Every statement is possible.

However, for Ao Qing, he believed that the Bodhi Patriarch is the Bodhi Patriarch.

It's as if the Buddha is the Buddha, and the Taoist is the Taoist.Patriarch Bodhi mixed the three religions, and he was also a great supernatural being comparable to them!
So in this sense, the "Three-Star Cave" is no different from Taiqingtian and Leiyin Temple.

Since this kind of blessed place of gods is here, how can we not show off the Range Rover?
Therefore, Ao Qing spent the three days watching it to his heart's content.

Not to mention the Three Star Cave, Qiongyu in the Yao Palace, and the Yunlou Yutai.There are layers of ancient wood, and the mountains are faint, which is also a perfect fit with the home.It gives people a very harmonious and natural feeling between the population and the beautiful scenery.

Gu Xiufeng is strange, and the plank road hangs in shock; the mountains arch against the sun, and a pillar supports the sky.

The green peaks are contending for steepness, and the white practice is fighting for fragrance; the flying springs are clear, and the ladders are secluded and dangerous.

Although it does not have the majesty and beauty of the Crystal Palace, it has a kind of magic and majesty like a picture scroll.

Moreover, in addition to these scenery, Ao Qing also felt a faint meaning of "emptiness and nature" in the three-star cave, which was very similar to the feeling given to him by the bodhi tree.

If you feel it carefully, it seems that your thoughts are floating in the air, just as if you are in a dream, there is a sense of both real and illusory.

"The so-called Fangcun Mountain of Lingtai, the three-star cave of the oblique moon. What kind of existence is it? The patriarch is really a god!" Ao Qing couldn't help feeling admiration.

Everything in front of me is so real.Moreover, if you practice here, the cultivation you get is also real.

However, here is the "heart realm".The patriarch even said clearly that all of these are gathered by mental images, which are false in nature.

This is really false to the "extreme", and it has become true.The power of "Bodhi" is really unimaginable.

but.

Thinking of this, Ao Qing suddenly remembered the "Bodhi Seed" she got under the Bodhi tree.

The patriarch said that he was under the Bodhi tree and realized Bodhi in his heart.In fact, he has no consciousness, but is this the so-called "Bodhi Wisdom"?
Ao Qing's eyes converged.Soon, the spiritual light in his mind diverged, and a bodhi mark gradually appeared between his eyebrows, like the "eye of the sky".

That is the bodhi seed.

With the appearance of the bodhi seed, Ao Qing suddenly felt that her "spirit" seemed to be able to escape from her shell.

This spirit is not the so-called "primordial spirit", it does not have a form, it is a kind of consciousness.

When this consciousness emerged, all the scenes in Samsung Cave were immediately captured in Ao Qing's mind.

He felt as if he had flown to a high place, looking down at Samsung Cave.He saw the countless beauties of Samsung Cave, saw the woodcutter and the patriarch, and even saw "himself".

In the courtyard, a boy in plain clothes stood in the courtyard.That boy has delicate features and two dragon horns on his forehead, exactly what Ao Qing looks like after his transformation!
Overall, his appearance is exactly the same as that of a "human".It's just that there are more dragon horns, which symbolize his past and present identities.

Since its dragon body is still young and has not yet grown up, the age after transformation seems to be immature.

And although he saw his appearance by the pool just now, now Ao Qing has a clearer picture of his appearance after transformation.

However, compared to this.He was even more curious, what is the power of this "Bodhi child"?
Why, to be able to let one's consciousness override the void, it is as if the soul is out of the body.But it seems that it is not really "spirit out of body"?
Ao Qing paused, trying to arouse the power of more bodhi seeds.As this strength climbed, he once again felt the same situation as before under the "Bodhi Tree".His consciousness seemed to transcend this world, and gradually floated beyond the Lingtai.

Yes.His consciousness returned to the South China Sea, and he saw the location of the "heart realm" in the South China Sea.

The power of this bodhi child actually allowed him to surpass the "Spiritual Terrace Square Inch Mountain"!
Ao Qing paused for a moment, and immediately dissipated the power of Bodhizi in a flash, and her consciousness returned to her body again.

He opened his eyes and saw the scene around him, he was still in the Three Star Cave, he couldn't help being amazed.

It seems that I did get a chance under the "Bodhi Tree".However, what this opportunity is, I don't know yet.

Ao Qing thought about it, and decided to ask Patriarch Bodhi three days later.

One is because I got this opportunity under the Bodhi tree, so this opportunity is very likely bestowed on me by the Bodhi Patriarch.Even if not, Patriarch should know something.

The second reason is that Ao Qing is still unable to understand the current opportunity and does not know its pros and cons.And in his heart, what the patriarch taught him next is more important.Naturally, he would not choose to deliberately conceal it because of a small loss.
