163 Centennial Years
The old dragon king of the West Sea hurriedly turned around and looked at the speaker, only to find that there was a kind-looking monk standing in front of him, only to see him bareheaded, white and fat cheeks, wearing a golden monk's robe, wearing a blood-red robe outside, holding a tin staff in his right hand, holding a Buddhist bead in his left hand, and looking at the old dragon king with a pair of kind eyes.
When the old dragon king recognized the person in front of him, a layer of hope was inexplicably ignited in his heart, and he saw him bow down to the person in front of him, and said in his mouth: "Great mercy and worship the Bodhisattva of the King of the Earth, please save the life of the little king!" ”
When the Bodhisattva of the King of the Earth heard this, he hurriedly helped the old dragon king in front of him and asked, "I don't know what happened to the old dragon king?" Let's talk about it in detail! ”
The old dragon king finally couldn't help the bitterness in his heart, and then he told how his two dragon sons offended the king of all demons, how they were bound by the king of all demons, and how the land of Qixia Mountain went to the west to send a letter, and how he rescued the prince of the pilgrim country with the help of the dragon girl's gift of an ivory comb and the dragon queen's gift of a golden crystal bead across the water, and how the king of ten thousand demons, Lu Yuankun, broke the covenant and made an alliance.
Just when the old dragon king was anxious and burst into tears, he suddenly saw the Bodhisattva of the Jizo King patting the old dragon king on the shoulder and said to him: "The old dragon king doesn't have to worry about the two dragons, I believe that Lu Yuankun will not hurt the two dragons, and you and those two dragons will meet one day." ”
But the old dragon king said anxiously, "But where can I go again to conjure up two rare treasures and give them to the king of ten thousand demons?" ”
When the Bodhisattva of the King of the Earth heard this, he suddenly saw that he took out two things from his wide sleeve, and then handed them to the old dragon king, and said to him: "The poor monk has two treasures here, which can be given to the old dragon king to go to Qixia Mountain to hand over to Lu Yuankun, the king of ten thousand demons, and exchange the two dragons back." ”
The old dragon king listened to the words of the Jizo King Bodhisattva, and the hope in his heart seemed to be ignited, and he hurriedly looked towards the hands of the Jizo King Bodhisattva, only to find that he was holding two things in his hand, one of which seemed to be a mirror, because looking at its reflection of the outside world, the old dragon king was very sure that it was a mirror. King Jizo Bodhisattva first handed the mirror into the hands of the old dragon king. And wait for the old dragon king to take over. Only then did I realize that the reverse side of the original mirror was still a mirror. I heard King Jizo Bodhisattva say to the old dragon king: "This mirror is called 'Hundred Years', and those who hold this 'Hundred Years of Time' can see their past and future within a hundred years on the front and back of the mirror." In addition......"
After the Jizo King Bodhisattva finished speaking, he handed another thing in his hand to the old dragon king's hand, and the old dragon king received it in his hand and found that the thing was as big as the palm of his hand, it was round, the whole body was gray-blue, and the body was slightly trapezoidal, like a pot lid. I saw a small shaft in the middle of the lid. And this pot lid is like a wheel inside and out, and there is a wheel inside the wheel. And it looks like all of these wheels can spin back and forth. Because there are two armrests on the top of these wheels, in short, this thing only feels heavy in the hands of the old dragon king. Then I heard the Bodhisattva of the Jizo King say to the old dragon king, "This is the terrain plate, put it on the ground, and twist the handrail on it." It is possible to change the topography of a place. Then I heard the Bodhisattva of the King of the Earth continue to say to the old dragon king: "You give these two things to Lu Yuankun in exchange for your two dragon sons!" ”
The old dragon king listened to the words of the Jizo King Bodhisattva, and his heart was grateful, and he hurriedly bowed down again and said to the Jizo King Bodhisattva: "The grace of the Bodhisattva is like a reinvention for the little king, and the little king is really grateful, except for saying a word of thanks to the Bodhisattva, the little king really doesn't know what to say!" ”
The Bodhisattva of the Jizo King once again lifted up the old dragon king and said to him, "Old dragon king, you are willing to exchange two family heirlooms for the pilgrimage prince who has nothing to do with you, why can't the poor monk exchange your own treasures for your dragon son!" This is not just the grace of the poor monks. It is also your creation, which is called 'resentment and resentment, good way and good return'. The poor monk and the old dragon king are just each other, so please don't worry about the old dragon king! ”…
When the old dragon king heard this, he had to sigh deeply. Then he said to the Bodhisattva, the king of the earth: "It's a pity that the Bodhisattva's two treasures, if I give these two treasures to the King of Ten Thousand Demons, won't the Bodhisattva lose the two treasures?" Ay! There is no such thing as perfection! ”
The old dragon king was sighing, but he saw that the Bodhisattva of Jizo smiled and said to the old dragon king: "The old dragon king does not have to worry, you can rest assured that these two treasures will be handed over to the king of ten thousand demons." The poor monk was thinking: Since the King of Ten Thousand Demons has a treasure that can be transformed into any artifact in the world, then when the old dragon king hands over these two treasures to him, he can use his treasure to transform into the appearance of these two artifacts, and there is no need to carry these two artifacts with him. Therefore, the poor monk guessed that the king of ten thousand demons would one day return these two treasures to the poor monk again. So the old dragon king doesn't have to worry about this! ”
When the old dragon king heard this, he turned his worries into joy, and hurriedly said to the Jizo King Bodhisattva: "Oh? It's true? It seems that the Bodhisattva has already calculated it in advance! ”
The Bodhisattva did not hide it, but he nodded and said to the old dragon king, "Exactly." ”
Only then did the old dragon king thank the Bodhisattva of the King of the Earth again, and then put away the two treasures of "Hundred Years" and "Terrain Plate" and drove back to Qixia Mountain in the clouds.
Besides, the old dragon king of the West Sea was getting closer and closer to the Qixia Mountain, and when he found that Lu Yuankun, the king of ten thousand demons, was still sitting on a stone seat by the edge of the woods, leisurely holding a cigarette bag and smoking a pot, he hurriedly pressed the cloud head, and then walked in front of Lu Yuankun.
Lu Yuankun saw that the person who came was the Dragon Queen of the West Sea, and hurriedly put down the cigarette bag and pot. When the old dragon king came to him, Lu Yuankun saw that he looked confident, so he put out the burning tobacco in the cigarette pouch pot, and then poured it all out, then grabbed it in his hand and weighed it a few times, and pinned it to his waist.
The Dragon King of the West Sea came to Lu Yuankun's face, thinking about his relationship with the King of the Earth just now, but now he only felt full of confidence and deep emotion, only to see him walk in front of Lu Yuankun and say to him: "King, I have found two treasures, I hope that these two treasures can be exchanged for my two dragon sons, and I also ask the king to forgive the sins of my two children, please let me take them away!" ”
Lu Yuankun listened, and didn't care about the series of polite words said by the old dragon king, he just said to the old dragon king directly: "What treasure did you bring this time, send it over for me to see first!" ”
When the old dragon king heard this, he handed Lu Yuankun the "Hundred Years of Time" and "Terrain Plate" handed to him by the Jizo King Bodhisattva.
After Lu Yuankun took the two treasures in his hand, he found that one of them turned out to be a treasure with mirrors on both sides, and the other treasure was very much like a miniature and heavy pot lid.
Lu Yuankun didn't understand what was so strange about these two treasures, so he hurriedly asked the old dragon king: "What is so wonderful about these two treasures?" ”
I only heard the old dragon king point to the terrain plate and say to Lu Yuankun: "This treasure is called 'terrain plate', as long as you put it on the ground and turn the handrail in the middle of this compass, you can magically change the topography of a place." ”
Lu Yuankun listened to the old dragon king's explanation of this terrain plate and suddenly smiled happily, only to see him repeatedly, back and forth with the terrain plate, he only felt interesting in his heart, and then said: "I'll try this baby's power in a while!" ”
The reason why the old dragon king on the side first introduced the miraculous effect of this terrain plate to Lu Yuankun was because he felt that between "a hundred years of time" and "terrain plate", this Lu Yuankun should be more interested in the "terrain plate". As for "Hundred Years", although it is also a treasure, the old dragon king feels that such a treasure may not be of much use to a master like Lu Yuankun. Therefore, the old dragon king still hopes to rely on the first baby "terrain plate" to win Lu Yuankun's favor, and hopes that he can put his two children on this baby's sake. …
And the result was as expected by the old dragon king, I saw that Lu Yuankun really liked this "terrain plate". And Lu Yuankun pointed to the two mirrors in his hand and said to the old dragon king: "What's so strange about these two mirrors?" ”
The old dragon king had no choice but to reply: "The person holding this mirror in his hand can see his past and future in a hundred years on the front and back of the mirror." ”
But after Lu Yuankun heard this, his reaction was very unexpected by the old dragon king, only to see that the smugness on his brow actually quietly dissipated in the air, and Lu Yuankun's face seemed to show a trace of sadness. After a while, I saw that Lu Yuankun nodded and said to the old dragon king: "It's really a good baby!" I heard Lu Yuankun continue to ask the old dragon king: "I don't know where these two treasures of the old dragon king came from?" ”
When the old dragon king heard this, although he was puzzled by Lu Yuankun's reaction, he thought about what the Bodhisattva of the Earth King had said just now: This Lu Yuankun will eventually return the two treasures to him. When he thought of this, the old dragon king told the truth: "It was Xiao Wang who met the Jizo King Bodhisattva on the road, and these two treasures were given by the Jizo King Bodhisattva!" ”
When Lu Yuankun heard this, he nodded thoughtfully, and then said to the old dragon king with a smile: "Leave the treasure behind, you can bring back your two dragon sons!" ”
The old dragon king finally heard this, only to see him burst into tears and laugh, saying "thanks" and "gratitude" in a row, and finally said goodbye to Lu Yuankun, turned around and went straight to the place where his two dragons were trapped.
After the old dragon king left, Lu Yuankun looked at the two treasures in his hand, and then silently recited the curse of "Foshan Pressing the Top" and "Thousands of Carvings", which lifted the curse of the two dragons of the Dragon King of the West Sea, that is, the curse of the four dragon sons Ao Chen, who was crushed under the stone mountain, and the curse of the eight dragon sons Ao Yu, who was besieged by a hundred eagles.
And Lu Yuankun, who looked at the terrain plate in his hand, just wanted to play with this treasure to his heart's content; And when he looked at the "hundred years" again, his mind fell into thinking.
