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

Chapter 51 Nezha?

What is the nature of the mind world, Ao Qing actually half-understands, not very clear.

But one thing is certain, that is, this power is in the same line as the power of Patriarch Bodhi!
Because, his "Bodhi child" was originally obtained under the opportunity "Bodhi tree" given by the Bodhi Patriarch.

Later, when he formally worshiped the teacher, the Bodhi Patriarch even gave Ao Qing the dharma name from the word "heart" inherited from the Sanxing Cave.

What does this represent?
This means that Ao Qing has truly and completely inherited the orthodox tradition of Patriarch Bodhi!

So, what is the orthodoxy of Patriarch Bodhi?

Is it 72 changes?Is it the Dapin Tianxian formula?

Or, is the "Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism" three religions in one?

Actually, neither, or not all.

Although these are the supreme and wonderful methods of Patriarch Bodhi.However, the real inheritance of Patriarch Bodhi has only one word "heart".

Lingtai square inch, slanting moon three stars, "Bodhi", and "Bodhi gatha".

All of these show that the "heart" is the most important inheritance of Patriarch Bodhi.

Just like the "Tao" of Taoism and the "Buddha" of Buddhism.

Patriarch Bodhi's three teachings flow together, and the ultimate destination lies in the "heart"!
But now, Ao Qing looked at the "heart realm" in front of her.Isn't this "Lingtai Fangcun Mountain" and "Slanting Moon and Three Star Cave"?

It's just that it doesn't belong to Patriarch Bodhi, but belongs to oneself, a "heart realm" that inherits the past and ushers in the future.

The two are in the same line, but not necessarily identical.

"Is this the true inheritance of the patriarch... No wonder, when I told the Bodhi son to the master that day, he would be so happy." Ao Qing couldn't help but think of the relief in the eyes of the patriarch when he visited the teacher that day.

but.

What is so magical about this mind world?
Ao Qing was somewhat puzzled by this.

Although he initially realized the "mind world" from the bodhi seed, he still doesn't know what the function of this mind world is.

Yes.

The "mind world" in front of Ao Qing's eyes is just the most basic blank world.

Obviously, this world, unlike Fangcun Mountain, can be both illusion and reality, completely hidden in the Three Realms, forming a world of its own.

Even Ao Qing tried to cultivate here, but found that although he could cultivate, his aura was the same as that of the outside world, and the flow of time should be the same.

If this is the case, it doesn't feel very meaningful to practice here.

Because since there is no essential difference, it is better to practice directly in reality.

But even so.

"This 'Heart Realm' must have its mysteries. It's just that it may not be completely viewed from the perspective of Samsung Cave."

Ao Qing thought of what the patriarch said when he evaluated his "Bodhi son".

Bodhi seed is actually a "seed".

And the "heart realm" is a "flower" that blooms from a seed.

but.The flower that blooms from each seed is by no means the same flower.The flowers are similar, but not identical.

That's why Patriarch Bodhi said, what kind of fruit Ao Qing's Bodhi seed will bear in the future, Patriarch can't judge.

But in any case, one thing is certain.That is, I have indeed embarked on the path of cultivating Taoism in sync with the ancestor.

Just like what the ancestors said.

If it is said that magical powers such as "Dragon Ball" and "Zhoutian Changshu" are the way to seek immortality.

Then, this "heart realm", this "Bodhi realm", is to cultivate the way!It is your own Dao fruit!
Mortal, Immortal, Saint, Tao, the four realms.Today's Ao Qing is in the "immortal" realm, although she is already very powerful.But I want to reach the "Holy" realm, and even the final "Tao" realm.It is definitely not enough to rely on seeking immortality alone, you have to practice Taoism!
Ao Qing thought for a while, and suddenly, she stretched out her right hand.

On his right hand, a fragment slowly appeared, which was the fragment of Yinglong's Dragon Ball.

Yes, Ao Qing suddenly thought of Ying Long's Dragon Ball fragments.

I was able to initially comprehend the bodhi mind world in the bodhi seed, thanks to the dragon ball fragments.

But normally, the Dragon Ball fragments and Bodhi seeds should be two things that have nothing to do with each other.

Including when the patriarch mentioned Yinglong Dragon Ball before, he also told Ao Qing that this "dragon ball fragment" was his fate.

So, there must be some reason for this.

Although Ao Qing couldn't judge the connection between the two.But there must be a connection between the two.

If this connection is not in the past, maybe... it is in the "future"!
Because "Tao" itself is an eternal and free existence that transcends all time and space.

In Taoism and Buddhism, the past, present, and future are even more synchronized.

Just like the past Buddha, the present Buddha and the future Buddha, these three Buddhas respectively represent the three lives, and one thought is eternal.

There is no such thing as Sakyamuni passing away and Maitreya succeeding the current Buddha.

So, perhaps now, there is no causal connection between Ao Qing's Dragon Ball fragments and the bodhi seed, but he does not guarantee that there will be no connection in the future.

And in fact it is.

At the same time that Ao Qing took out the Dragon Ball fragments.suddenly!Scenes suddenly spread in the Bodhi Mind Realm! !

Buzz! !
Streams of light, like ripples, are constantly rising and rendering in the Bodhi Mind Realm.

It was as if to fill the entire blank mind world with color.

In an instant, in front of Ao Qing's eyes, pieces of divine light appeared.With the appearance of the divine light, the almost infinite blank world emitted rays of light and shadow.

With the appearance of light and shadow, many scenes suddenly appeared in Ao Qing's mind.

He seemed to see in the light and shadow, a boy with pink make-up and jade, playing with a green dragon and chasing hydrangea.

The boy has a handsome appearance, with the word "Na" on the palm of his left hand and the word "Zha" on the palm of his right hand.

It was "Nezha"! ?

This is not right.

In "Journey to the West", is the relationship between Nezha and the Dragon Clan so good?Didn't he accidentally descend into the East China Sea three days after he was born, trample down the Crystal Palace, and pull out dragon tendons to make a ribbon?

Ao Qing was a little puzzled.

But that scene was fleeting, and soon, with the change of light and shadow, it turned into another appearance - that is the appearance of a young man, holding a square sky painting halberd, riding the huge waves, soaring into the sky.

Na Zha, under the huge waves, stretched out his hands, as if to chase the boy.

Nezha's eyes were full of worry.It was obvious that he cared about this boy very much!

What shocked Ao Qing the most was that the boy's brows were [-]-[-]% similar to Ao Qing's! !

The scene continues to change.

In the next moment, it was the young man who manifested his real body and screamed in all directions.

The boy's real body was a golden dragon, not the blue dragon in the first scene.

Three lights and shadows emerged one after another, and immediately shattered one after another.

boom!
All disillusionment, all return to smoke and dust.

Ao Qing suddenly opened her eyes, the palace shook, and a momentum spread out.

"What was that just now?"

Ao Qing was taken aback.

He felt it and found that the heart world could still be opened.But it was still blank.

The light and shadow in the dragon ball fragments seemed to no longer exist.

"Could it be, that is one of my elder brothers that my father kept mentioning? But, why does he look so similar to me after transforming?" Ao Qing was a little surprised.

If it is Qinglong, or Huanglong or something, this is understandable.

But what he couldn't understand was why his elder brother was [-]-[-]% similar to himself after being transformed!

One must know that the appearance of Ao Qing's transformed form is a combination of her own image from her previous life.In this world, how can there be someone who is exactly the same, who also happens to be his "brother"! ?

Could it be that……! !

Suddenly, a possibility appeared in Ao Qing's mind.
