Chapter 19: The Thoughts of the Dragon Palace

In the West Sea Dragon Palace, the four dragon kings gathered in this West Sea Dragon Palace. Today, the Dragon King of the West Sea, Ao Yan, rang the dragon bell and summoned the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas to gather the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas to discuss.

In the Dragon Palace, the Dragon King of the Four Seas sat around a crystal table, and Ao Guang, the Dragon King of the East China Sea, took the lead in speaking, "I don't know what important matters the virtuous brother rings the dragon bell today to summon us and others to discuss?"

Ao Yan arched his hand and said, "Don't hide it from the eldest brother, gather all the brothers to come today, the younger brother is really a little selfish, but this matter has a great impact, and I specially convene the brothers to come to my Xihai to discuss." ”

Ao Shun, the Dragon King of the North Sea, stroked his beard and said with a smile, "I don't know if the second brother has anything important to discuss?"

The Dragon King of the West Sea looked around, dismissed the shrimp soldiers and crab generals who were on duty here, and then lowered his voice and said, "All brothers know, my son Ao Lie was convicted of burning the night pearl given by the Jade Emperor, and was degraded to the eagle and suffered. After fortunately, Guanyin Bodhisattva lit up, Bao Na Tang monk Xitian to learn scriptures, put into the Buddha to sit down, and now by the West Heaven Rulai as the eight Tianlong Guangli Bodhisattva. ”

"Now that you brothers know, the relationship between Heaven and Buddhism has deteriorated, and we should also choose a position. I have gathered you today to talk about this issue!"

"According to the second brother's meaning, isn't it?" Ao Qin, the Dragon King of the South China Sea, frowned and asked uncertainly.

"Yes, what I mean is that since my dragon clan has established a relationship with the Western Heaven Buddha Gate through my son Ao Lie. Then why don't my dragon clan take this opportunity to devote themselves to Buddhism!" said Ao Yan, the Dragon King of the West Sea.

When the Dragon King of the Three Seas heard this, he immediately hesitated. Now the four seas are under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Court. If he takes refuge in Buddhism, the Jade Emperor will be furious, and if he asks for the guilt, the four seas will inevitably be punished, and it is more likely that he will not be able to keep the position of the dragon king!

"Second brother, why did you say this? We and the four seas are under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Court, if this matter is known to Your Majesty, I will not be able to escape the involvement of the four seas!" said Ao Guang, the Dragon King of the East China Sea.

He couldn't pinch what his second brother was thinking about, but this matter was really important. If it is leaked, not to mention whether the four seas are affected or not, the West Sea will definitely be destroyed first. His brother may have lost his life because of this, is it difficult for his eldest brother to watch his brother die?

"Don't worry, eldest brother, I have my own plans in my heart, and besides, we are not really involved in the Buddha. It's just to use the Buddha Gate to get out of the situation where my Four Sea Clans are oppressed by the Heavenly Court!" Ao Yan, the Dragon King of the West Sea, said confidently.

"Second brother, what do you want to say?" asked the Dragon King of the North Sea.

Ao Yan stood up and smiled slightly, "Ancient Demon Court!"

When the three dragon kings heard these four words, their hearts were shocked, and the Dragon King of the East China Sea spoke, "The rule of the demon court has ended as early as the ancient period. How can we be able to emulate our ancient predecessors and set up this demon court in vain!"

In ancient times, the Demon Court stood and all races worshipped! But now that the Demon Court has long been extinguished in ancient times, it is like rebuilding the Demon Court with the Four Seas Clan, how difficult is it?

"Big brother, could it be that the oppression of my water tribe by the Heavenly Court for so many years has really made you forget who you are? In ancient times, how brilliant was my dragon clan's lineage? If it weren't for the first dragon lineage, Yuan Feng, and Qilin fighting each other, how could my dragon clan have degenerated to such a point?" Ao Yan said loudly.

"Second brother, after all, it was the ancient period, the Great Wilderness Era, and the human race did not rise. Only the predecessors of my demon clan were able to successfully form the demon court and rule over all races. But now, how terrifying is the rise of the human race, there is no shortage of quasi-saints above the heavenly court, saints, with the strength of my brother's golden immortal, how can I fight against it?"

"Alas," Ao Yan sighed and sat down, "I didn't know that the strength of my clan was far from the orthodoxy of Heavenly Court. But over the years, how has Heavenly Court treated my Water Tribe?

"Now that my son Ao Lie is in the position of the Bodhisattva of Buddhism, the relationship between Heaven and Buddhism is not as good as before. The relationship between the two sides has broken down, and now it is the day when my water tribe turns over, what are you brothers worried about?"

Ao Guang, the Dragon King of the East China Sea, stood up, patted Ao Yan's shoulder, and said, "Ao Lie's matter, I couldn't figure out why you acted like this back then, but now it seems that you have already played this move! But if you do this, aren't you afraid that Ao Lie will die in your hands?"

That year, on the wedding night, Ao Lie found out that the Princess of All Saints had an affair with the nine-headed worm, and in a fit of rage, he smashed the cave room and burned the night pearl given by the Jade Emperor. The Dragon King of the West Sea, Ao Yan, killed his relatives in righteousness, played the heavenly court, and the Jade Emperor was furious and wanted to punish Ao Lie.

Later, Guanyin Bodhisattva came forward to intercede and saved Ao Lie's life. But though the death penalty is forgiven, the living sin cannot be escaped. Ao Lie was punished to suffer from the eagle's sorrowful stream, and every three months, he suffered from the thunderous punishment. It wasn't until later that when he learned the scriptures, Ao Lie ate Xuanzang's white horse, and was instructed by Guanyin Bodhisattva to go to Xuanzang's west to learn the scriptures, so as to get the right result.

"Yes, I was gambling back then, and I bet that Guanyin Bodhisattva would not die without help. Fortunately, I bet right, although Ao Lie suffered from the thunder punishment every three months in the Eagle Sorrowful Stream, he finally saved his life, and he even got into a relationship with Buddhism, and now this result, how good!" Ao Yan laughed.

"Is my nephew involved in this?" asked Ao Guang.

Ao Yan shook his head and said, "I arranged all this, and he didn't know about it. Although I am desperate, he is my son after all, I can't watch him die, let alone die because of me!"

In the end, Ao Yan's face showed a look of pain, he really thought about it for a long time. But even if he didn't take the initiative to say it, Heavenly Court would find out sooner or later. If you say it's death, if you don't say it, you're dead. Fortunately, Guanyin Bodhisattva was merciful and compassionate, and came forward in time to save Ao Lie.

"Alas, second brother, why don't you discuss this matter with me, let my poor nephew suffer in that eagle stream for many years. Why do you bother!" Ao Shun shook his head and sighed.

"Second brother, is it true that in your heart, the Demon Court is really more important than my nephew's life?" asked Ao Qin.

Ao Yan shook his head, "In the world, how can my son's life be important! However, I am not for my own selfishness, but for the sake of the future of my thousands of water tribes!"

"Thinking about my dragon clan's lineage, in ancient times, it can be described as infinite scenery, and even in the demon court, there is a place for my clan! Later, even if the first dragon lineage declined, our clan is still a big clan, but what about the establishment of the heavenly court?

"Now, my dragon clan has turned over, and my son Ao Lie has become a Buddha and is ranked in the West Heaven Buddha Gate. Isn't this the opportunity that my water tribe has been waiting for for thousands of years? Now, why do you brothers have the intention of retreating? Could it be that these tens of millions of years of cage life have really smoothed your spirit?" Ao Yan asked loudly.

"Alas, second brother, who doesn't know that these four seas are cages. Isn't the Heavenly Court sending my Dragon Clan to command the Nether Water Clan to curb the development of my Dragon Clan? But now, with the strength of my Dragon Clan, wouldn't it be a stone to hit a stone with an egg?"

"What the third brother said makes sense, second brother, you can't be too anxious about this matter. Although my nephew has now become a Buddha, do you think that Xitian Rulai will stand on our side? If we really betray the heavenly court and enter the Buddhism gate, if the Xitian does not send troops to help us, how many people in my water tribe will survive under the wrath of the Jade Emperor?"

"Yes, second brother, have you ever thought about this. Will Rulai stand on our side? Although Ao Lie is a Guangli Bodhisattva, will Rulai not hesitate to go to war with the Heavenly Court for the sake of us and for the sake of him, the Guangli Bodhisattva? Although before, the Jade Emperor wanted to start a war against the Western Heavens, and others don't know, don't you and my brothers still understand what the Jade Emperor means?" said Ao Guang, the Dragon King of the East China Sea, at the right time.

"What you brothers say is reasonable, but I am abrupt about this. Hearing the analysis of the Dragon King of the Three Seas, Ao Yan calmed down, and after thinking about it, he felt that it did make sense.

Ao Yan was frightened into a cold sweat, if he really led the West Sea out of Heaven today, even if the other four seas were unwilling, they would either respond to themselves and go out of Heaven, or they would stand on the opposite side of themselves regardless of their brotherhood.

But no matter which one you choose, the dragon clan will definitely be the one who will be hurt in the end. Heavenly Court has always been on guard against the Dragon Clan's rebellion, and at that time, Heavenly Court decided that with the strength of the Dragon Clan, he could rank in the Heavenly Court Immortal Class and be that immortal.

But in the end, the Jade Emperor ascended the throne, and on the grounds that the four seas of the world were unguarded, he delegated the dragon clan to control the four seas of the world, commanded the four sea tribes, and was under the jurisdiction of the thunder Puhua Tianzun, and was responsible for the wind and rain in the world. Obviously it is a reward, but in fact, he wants to reduce the dragon clan trapped in the four seas, rely on the water tribe to weaken the strength of the dragon clan openly and secretly, and rely on the thunder mansion to balance the development of the dragon clan.

In the case of the Jinghe Dragon King that year, because of the deduction of rainfall points, the Heavenly Court made a big fuss, and ordered Wei Zheng in the world to lead the Mandate of Heaven to behead the Jinghe Dragon King on the grounds of violating the rules of heaven. Although the Dragon King of Jinghe asked for help from a master, he could not escape death in the end. Beheaded by Wei Zheng in a dream!

If today, the West Sea rebelled against the Heavenly Court, the relationship between the Four Seas would break down, and even fall into a fight, how could the Heavenly Court let go of the Dragon Clan's good opportunity for internal fighting?

Thinking of this, Ao Yan hurriedly saluted and apologized. "It's me who was so abrupt that I almost caused the brothers and the dragon clan to enter the land of no return!"

Ao Guang, the Dragon King of the East China Sea, stepped forward and helped Ao Yan up, and the other two Dragon Kings also stood up. Ao Guang said, "Big brother knows, Brother Xian, you are thinking about the Dragon Clan, but you must not be in a hurry in this matter, you need to be cautious." To tell you the truth, do any of you brothers not want to excite the dragon clan? But after all, this is not the ancient era, and it is difficult for a few of my brothers to do it!"

Ao Yan saluted again, and said, What the eldest brother is educating is! ”

"My nephew doesn't know about this, right?" asked Ao Guang. Although Ao Yan has this arrangement, if Ao Lie knows, Ao Lie's character will definitely not follow.

"Big brother, rest assured, Ao Lie doesn't know about this. Back then, I killed my relatives in righteousness and participated in him burning the Imperial Night Pearl, and he knew that I was doing it for his good. After all, whether I play or not, he will not escape death, but fortunately, I told him back then, if there is a chance, you can ask Guanyin for help, the Bodhisattva will definitely protect you, this saved his life!"

"Don't let my nephew know about this, or it will be hard to do. We don't want to take advantage of my nephew, it is not easy for him to achieve positive results, and we can't mistake his positive cultivation because of our own selfishness. Ao Guang said earnestly.

Then he turned around and said to the other two dragon kings, "This matter is related to the rise and fall of my dragon clan, and it is also related to the life and death of my second brother, the Xihai Zhushui Clan." I hope that the two brothers will be tight-lipped about today's events. ”

The Dragon King of the South China Sea and the Dragon King of the North Sea bent down in unison and said, "Big brother, don't worry, my two brothers will never divulge today's affairs." ”

Ao Guang nodded, looked up at the Dragon Palace, and suddenly smiled, "This matter is not impossible, it just needs an opportunity." In the matter of learning scriptures, Buddhism has a great plan, and it is vainly trying to compete with Heaven for the ownership of faith in the world. I think this is the opportunity for our dragon clan to turn over!"
