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

Chapter 34 Dragon Ancestor
Now, after Ao Qing learned about the "four realms" on the road to practice, she yearned for it even more, and worshiped her ancestor: "I hope that the master will teach the method of practice, and the disciple will inherit the mantle of the master, and in the future, he will make Fangcunshan more prosperous. , Carry forward the Three Star Cave!"

"Samsung Cave?"

Patriarch Bodhi had a smile in his eyes: "Could it be possible to carry forward the dragon clan?"

"Master, I..."

"All right."

The patriarch waved his hand and said: "Being a teacher is not teaching you to abandon the dragon race. I have also seen what you did under the bodhi tree. The so-called letting nature take its course, since you have great ambitions, it is also due to fate. But you must remember the freedom and ease under the bodhi tree, and keep in mind the principle that everything cannot be forced. If one day, you lose your original intention, even if you don’t clean up the door as a teacher, you will be expelled from the court, so as not to damage my way.”

Ao Qing sat upright and said respectfully: "My disciple, please remember."

"good."

The patriarch nodded in satisfaction and said: "In the practice of the world, there is a way to cultivate, and there is a way to seek immortality. Cultivating the Tao is to cultivate the heart, and seeking immortality is to seek the art. Now that you have realized Bodhi, you have stepped into the 'road of cultivation'. This 'heart' It will be difficult to explain the state of the state in a while. Therefore, next, as a teacher, I will start teaching you from the aspect of 'seeking immortality', that is, the aspect of 'skill'."

Ao Qing was overjoyed.Although he has realized Bodhi, he also knows that "cultivating the Tao" is very important.However, this does not mean that "seeking immortality" is not important.

Especially before the "Tao" has been cultivated, it is inevitable to use "skills" to protect the Tao and prevent evil spirits and demons from obstructing and disturbing.

For Ao Qing, he is also yearning for "shu".Who doesn't want to be able to change freely and fly through the clouds.Seeing the blue sky and climbing the day, facing the North Sea and twilight?

Ao Qing said: "I don't know what kind of magic master is going to teach?"

Ao Qing remembers that in "Journey to the West", Patriarch Bodhi integrated the three religions, and he was proficient in Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism.

In addition, the Patriarch is also proficient in the four fruit sects of "shu flow static".Although Sun Wukong dismisses these side sects, they all have "proper results from side sects".

The way of the art of surgery is to seek good fortune and avoid evil;
The way of Liumen, pilgrimage to the truth;
The way of the quiet door is closed and settled;
The way to move the door is to collect yin and nourish yang.

The "Da Pin Tian Xian Jue" taught by the ancestor to Sun Wukong is the supreme practice of the three teachings.The sentence "Collect the five elements and use them upside down, and you will become a Buddha and a fairy after you finish your work." It can be said that it fully expresses the power of this method.

Of course Ao Qing was also curious, whether the Patriarch would teach him the Da Pin Tian Xian Jue.

But in fact, it is not the case.

The Bodhi Patriarch looked at Ao Qing and said: "If you are an ordinary person, I have 360 ​​sects and 72 heresies to teach. If you are gifted, I will teach you the three teachings of Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism. If your understanding is outstanding, Dao Xintiancheng, I should teach him the secret secret formula, so that he can inherit my true teachings. But you are different. You are a dragon. As a teacher, I think that although you can learn my great law, you should also inherit the past and usher in the future. , have something of your own."

After the patriarch finished speaking, he lightly waved the whisk in his hand.

I saw that in the void, a ray of light changed, and suddenly a piece of white paper appeared.

"This is?"

Ao Qing was slightly taken aback.

Patriarch Bodhi said, "Apprentice, does this look familiar to you?"

Ao Qing said: "This is something my disciple bestows on mortals when I'm bored. It's called 'paper'."

Yes, this is exactly "paper".

When Ao Qing was ignorant, he was bored and had sheltered the people of the coastal countries, and taught them some skills such as papermaking.

Unexpectedly, Patriarch Bodhi actually knew?

Of course.The "paper" of Patriarch Bodhi is made of unknown material, it is extremely delicate and extraordinary.Probably mana generated.It is much more mysterious than ordinary paper.

At this moment, when he took out the paper, it was not just to praise Ao Qing, but had other intentions!

Patriarch Bodhi said: "Little dragon, you are quite benevolent and ingenious. You can use bark, hemp heads and cloth to make such interesting things. It can also be seen that the way of heaven is miraculous, and that gods and things are naturally formed." I will use this 'paper' to lead you to realize the method of cultivation."

After the Patriarch finished speaking, he saw him lightly waving the dust whisk, and lines suddenly appeared on the white paper.

With the combination and transformation of lines, a picture gradually appears on the paper.Ao Qing looked carefully, but it was a divine dragon, standing proudly above the sky, overlooking all beings.

The dragon is enormous, with horns like a deer, head like a camel, eyes like a rabbit, neck like a snake, belly like a mirage, scales like a fish, claws like an eagle, palms like a tiger, and ears like a cow.

Beside the dragon's mouth, there is Xu Ran; under the jaw, there is a bright pearl shining.The reverse scales between the throats are bright and bright in color.Lifelike, lifelike shape.

The most shocking thing is his eyes.

In the pupils of those eyes, a piece of heaven and earth is reflected.It seemed that the whole world was captured by his eyes.

If you just look at this dragon, maybe there is nothing.But after adding this pair of eyes, Ao Qing suddenly felt a little looked down upon.It's as if the whole world is insignificant to this dragon!
With just one glance, Ao Qing's heart is touched.

His thoughts seemed to be drawn into the picture scroll, and the bodhi seed seemed to emit light vaguely, making Ao Qing's consciousness immersed in the long past.

It seems that there is a dragon looking at all directions and flying across the sky, soaring into the sky.Its body is so huge that it does not know how many thousands of miles away, and its supernatural powers are so powerful that it can cause a sensation in the Three Realms at every turn!
It turns out that my Dragon Clan actually has such a powerful ability!And this ability seems to be nothing more than the scales and half claws of this dragon.

How does this dragon exist?

Ao Qing couldn't help feeling agitated.

"Apprentice."

Patriarch Bodhi spoke softly, bringing Ao Qing's eyes back to reality: "This dragon is the portrait of the ancestor of your dragon clan."

The ancestor of the dragon clan!

Ao Qing suddenly realized.

No wonder, this dragon is so powerful.Just looking through the scroll made him feel a sense of the smallness of the world.

The so-called ancestor of the Dragon Race.Not Ying Long, nor Zhu Long.It is the Emperor Longzu in "The First Tribulation of the Dragon Han Dynasty".

The first robbery of the Long Han Dynasty is the first robbery of the five Taoist robberies, and one of the reign titles of Yuanshi Tianzun.

"Tao Zang" records that the first year of Longhan was the ancestor's robbery.The dragon chooses its change, and the Han Dynasty chooses its greatness. At the beginning of the robbery, there was the Emperor Longzu.

Longzu didn't come from the sea at first.But from the galaxy.

As for Ying Long, although he is also very powerful, he is not very ancient.

Even the era where Ao Qing lived was not far away.

Before Yinglong, there were countless dragons.

Among them, the five emperor dragon kings, Haizhen dragon king and other divine dragons were all far before the great age, much older than Yinglong.

but.

Compared with these, Ao Qing was more puzzled, why did Patriarch Bodhi draw a portrait of Patriarch Long for himself?
Could it be that……!
