Journey to the West: The poor monk Bodhidharma, the supreme Buddhist and Taoist

Chapter 204 Jade Dragon Third Prince!
As soon as Bodhidharma made a move, he couldn't help but suppress Jin Maojiu.

Then, without the slightest intention of staying, he turned and left the purple bamboo forest.

Knowing that she is not Bodhidharma's opponent, Hui An can only watch all this happen, not daring to stop it.

Over the South China Sea.

But seeing the rising sun on the calm sea, golden snakes dancing wildly, and blue waves stretching as far as the eye can see, it is refreshing.

Bodhidharma couldn't help but stop and enjoy the sea view of the South China Sea.

While in a trance.

Sudden.

On the surface of the sea under the feet, a huge dark blue vortex appeared, like the legendary return to ruins.

Followed by.

I heard the sound of "crashing" water.

A jet of water shot up into the sky and rushed straight at Bodhidharma.

Seeing this, Bodhidharma frowned slightly, and retreated to avoid it.

Look closely.

On the originally sparkling mirror-like sea, the waves suddenly became rough.

Two figures broke through the water at an extremely fast speed, and stood in the void through the clouds and fog.

"Where is the wild monk, dare to block the way of my king? Why don't you hurry up and drive away!"

A voice as sharp as a eunuch shouted at Bodhidharma.

"Ok?"

Bodhidharma frowned secretly, and glanced coldly at the speaker.

Seeing his unusually long neck, two mustaches like willow leaves around his mouth, and a heavy mysterious shell on his back.

It is clearly an old tortoise who has been enlightened for thousands of years!
And beside the old turtle stood a middle-aged man, dressed in a purple robe, elegant and luxurious.

There is a kingly spirit in every gesture.

As soon as he saw this combination, Bodhidharma had already guessed eight or nine points: "This is... South Sea Dragon King Aoqin?"

Without waiting for Dharma to speak.

Right now.

Only the middle-aged man said in a deep voice: "Prime Minister Turtle, don't be rude!"

To know.

Although this is the South China Sea, logically speaking, it belongs to his territory.

But the problem is that it is not far from the Dojo of Guanyin Bodhisattva.

The monk in front of him is a disciple of Buddhism. If he has anything to do with Guanyin Bodhisattva and offends this monk, I am afraid that the future will be a little sad.

Think about this.

Ao Qin couldn't help but cast another glance at Bodhidharma, raised his hand in salute and said, "Holy Monk, I've offended you!"

"Amitabha!"

Bodhidharma clasped his hands together and bowed slightly.

Then, Ao Qin and Prime Minister Gui ignored Bodhidharma.

It was as if he hadn't seen Bodhidharma.

After all, it was just a chance meeting, so there was no need to pay too much attention to a strange monk.

not to mention.

Right now they have more pressing matters.

"Prime Minister Turtle, what time is it?"

Ao Qin asked.

"Reporting to the king, it has just passed the three o'clock!"

Prime Minister Turtle looked at the position of the sun and replied immediately.

"That is not bad!"

Ao Qin nodded, "I can't miss the time to go to Xihai to congratulate!"

"Your Majesty also meticulously prepared the Ten Thousand Dragon Scale Armor as a gift to the newly born Third Prince Jade Dragon of the Dragon King of the West Sea, which shows your sincerity!"

Ao Qin said indifferently: "It's just a pair of ten thousand dragon scale armor, it's not a treasure, it's just that my third younger brother finally gave birth to a prince, if I don't come to congratulate him, I'm the second elder brother who is wrong ..."

The voices of the two talking gradually drifted away, and finally disappeared.

But Bodhidharma also listened to the general idea, "The Dragon King of the West Sea? The third prince of the Jade Dragon?"

After pondering for a while, his eyes suddenly brightened.

"Has Senior Brother Fa Hai been reincarnated in Xihai so soon?"

I think that day, I will say goodbye to Mintian City.

Fa Hai had already said that when he went to Xihai to reincarnate this trip, he followed the decree of the World Honored One and was reborn in the Dragon Palace and became the third prince of Xihai.

However, Bodhidharma is very clear.

This is clearly the layout of Buddhism for the Westward Journey a hundred years later.

In the original book, Xiao Bailong was accused of disobedience by Ao Run because he set fire to the pearl on the Dragon Palace in Xihai.

The Jade Emperor hung him on the Longtai, intending to kill him soon.

It happened that Avalokitesvara came to the east to look for Buddhist scriptures under the decree of Tathagata. Considering the problem of the Buddhist scriptures' foot strength, he pleaded with the Jade Emperor and let Xiaobailong go.

Soon after, Tang Seng came to Yingshoujian, and Guanyin took off the jewel under the neck of the little white dragon, stripped off his scales, turned into a white horse, and became Tang Seng's mount.

After the successful study of the scriptures in the Western Paradise, the Tathagata rewarded him for his meritorious deeds, and the little white dragon was conferred the title of Eight Heavenly Dragon Guangli Bodhisattva, restored to the dragon body, and perched on the Huabiao pillar outside the Daxiong Hall.

"The Tathagata has indeed granted my brother the Bodhisattva True Fruition, but why does it always feel a little bit wrong?"

In the West Sea Dragon Palace, set fire to the jewel in the palace? !
Bodhidharma thought about Fa Hai's future fate, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong, so he couldn't help shaking his head.

"Is this really the life that senior brother wants?"

Bodhidharma recalled the situation when he parted from Fahai in Mintian City.

"When I was in Mintian City, I promised my brother that if I had free time, I would go to Xihai to visit him... Maybe this is an opportunity!"

Bodhidharma thought about it, and decided to take this opportunity to go to the West Sea to visit Fa Hai who was reincarnated as a little white dragon.

Immediately, the body turned into a rainbow light, and it disappeared for thousands of miles.

Not long after, Bodhidharma came to the sky over the West Sea.

In the original Journey to the West.

Although the number of appearances of the Dragon King of the Four Seas is not many, the Dragon King of the West Sea is very eye-catching.

Because, when Monkey King made a big fuss in the East China Sea Dragon Palace, the East China Sea Dragon King once mentioned the names of his brothers.

Ao Qin, the Dragon King of the South Sea, Ao Run, the Dragon King of the West Sea, and Ao Shun, the Dragon King of the North Sea!

But oddly enough.

When Tang Monk and his disciples came to Kusongjian to capture Honghaier, the monkey invited the Dragon King of the Four Seas to subdue Honghaier's samadhi fire.

As a result, the Dragon King of the West Sea became Ao Shun, and Ao Run became the Dragon King of the North Sea.

no doubt.

During this period of time, for unknown reasons, Ao Run and Ao Shun switched the sea areas under their jurisdiction.

Of course, this is something to say later, Bodhidharma does not know what happened for the time being.

Looking down at the vast expanse of blue waves under his feet, Bodhidharma wanted to break away from the waves and head straight to the Crystal Palace in the West Sea.

Just then.

A voice suddenly came from behind: "Amitabha, isn't this Bodhidharma?"

heard.

Bodhidharma turned his head to look, but saw that the sky was full of auspicious light, and an unfamiliar monk was looking at him with a smile.

"you are?"

Unexpectedly, the other party recognized him, Dharma was a little strange.

"Poor monk Kasyapa..."

Kasyapa saluted with palms together.

"Venerable Kasyapa?"

Bodhidharma knew that Kasyapa was one of the top ten disciples of the Tathagata, who had won the trust of the Buddha and was once assigned half of the Buddha's seat by the Tathagata.

Moreover, the story of Kassapa holding a flower and smiling is widely circulated and well-known to every household.

Seeing Kasyapa's politeness, Bodhidharma did not lose his manners, and returned the courtesy: "I didn't know that His Majesty is here, and if I avoid it, I hope you will forgive me!"

"Isn't Bodhidharma Bodhisattva supposed to be near Calabash Mountain at this time? Why did he appear in the West Sea?"

Kaye said strangely.

"Your Majesty must also know that the third prince of Jade Dragon, who was just born to the Dragon King of the West Sea, was originally my senior brother Fa Hai..."

Kasyapa nodded: "So you came here for this... If that's the case, let's go to the West Sea Dragon Palace together!"

"Good, good!"

Bodhidharma is worried that his teacher is unknown.

Like him, he came here uninvited. Before that, he had never dealt with Xihai at all.

If you forcibly break into the West Sea Dragon Palace, it will definitely cause a lot of inconvenience.

But now with Kassapa's company, many unnecessary troubles can be avoided.

Kasyapa has been famous for a long time, and all four continents have a reputation. To a certain extent, it is much higher than Bodhidharma.

Although Bodhidharma gained fame during this period, it was more in Xiniu Hezhou, and it has not had time to spread to the four major continents.

more importantly.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Kasyapa's visit this time was definitely not private, and obviously represented the World Honored One of Lingshan.

How dare the Dragon King of the West Sea be negligent!

"It seems that the purpose of Kassapa's trip is not simple!"

Dharma thought to himself.

Think so.

He and Kasyapa walked side by side, separated from the sea, and went straight to the Dragon Palace.
