Ao Xiaobing: "I'm not afraid to tell you first, I can roll up a boulder weighing tens of thousands of catties with my tail and throw it out of a hundred feet." ”

Sixth Ancestor Hui Neng disdainfully: "What's the use of brute force alone?" That's just the work of a rough man. We at Baoling Temple will not hire a porter like you. ”

Ao Xiaobing raised his head and laughed: "I know that you can't compete with me in terms of strength. ”

The Sixth Ancestor Hui Neng looked directly at the other party: "I don't know what other superb spells you have Four Dragons?" ”

Ao Xiaobing thought for a moment, and said with a proud face: "I have been cultivating in the South China Sea for three thousand years, my mana is extraordinary, and I am confident that I can change my body. ”

Sixth Ancestor Hui could hear it say this, pondered for a while, and used a radical method: "Change? You're boasting. ”

Ao Xiaobing looked serious: "I am a god who can go to the sky and the sea, how can I talk big?" I can be big or small. ”

"Can it be bigger, or can it be smaller?" Sixth Ancestor Huineng frowned, his pupils froze, and he thought for a while, "How big can you be, how big can you be?" ”

Ao Xiaobing's speech was still so arrogant: "I can make my body ten zhang long, and my head alone can become bigger than a basket." ”

Sixth Ancestor Huineng waved his hand to express disbelief: "I don't think you have such great ability?" ”

"Hmph, if you don't believe it, I'll show you right away." Ao Xiaobing's words stopped, his whole body shook violently, his mouth blew out of his mouth, and he shouted, "Get bigger!" ”

With a gust of wind swept by, the wind and clouds were raging, the pool water splashed, with the sound of "grid, grid", the body of the dragon really continued to expand, and it didn't take long for it to become a giant dragon with a body as thick as a bucket and ten zhang long. The dragon head alone is bigger than a basket. The two big eyes are like brass bells.

Sixth Ancestor Hui Neng couldn't help but shout: "Sure enough! Wonderful! Wonderful! ”

Hearing the praise of the Sixth Ancestor Huineng, Ao Xiaobing laughed "card, card": "Master, what I said in this dragon is not a lie. ”

Sixth Ancestor Huineng nodded: "You can indeed do it if you become bigger." But this is just an empty shell, and being able to make the body smaller is the real skill. I wonder how you got smaller? ”

Ao Xiaobing is still so proud: "Getting smaller is also a piece of cake for me." ”

Sixth Ancestor Hui Neng: "How small can you make your body smallest?" ”

Ao Xiaobing: "I can make my body just over a foot long." ”

This time, Huineng shook his head and gestured with his hand: "No, Silongzi, how could you become so small with such a behemoth?" You were telling the truth just now, but this time, I think you're lying to me. ”

Ao Xiaobing said loudly: "I have always counted when I speak, this is just a small spell." ”

Sixth Ancestor Hui can hold on to it: "I don't think you may have this spell. ”

Ao Xiaobing, who has always been arrogant and arrogant, saw that Hui Neng despised himself, sneered, and said, "You don't believe that I can become smaller? Okay, I'll show you the size right now. After the change, I'll settle the ledger with you! ”

Sixth Ancestor Huineng: "Then, you can show me." ”

Ao Xiaobing had words in his mouth, and finally, he shouted: "Get smaller!" "It casts a spell using the bone shrinking method.

With the sound of "zi, zi", the originally huge and incomparable dragon body immediately shrank inward, and it shrank smaller and smaller, and finally, shrunk to only one foot, turning into a small dragon cruising triumphantly in the deep pool, from time to time to stir up flowers.

Xiaolong raised his head and said to the Sixth Ancestor Huineng: "I have become smaller now, I didn't lie to you when I spoke." ”

Sixth Ancestor Hui Neng walked to the edge of the pool, put the golden bowl he brought into the water, and said to the little dragon who swam to him: "Four dragons, can you become smaller than this golden bowl?" ”

Ao Xiaobing, who was still swimming around in the water, replied, "I used my mana to make myself so small, and now I have reached the limit. If you want to become smaller, you need to practice for another 3,000 years. ”

"Ah, it's not easy for you to become so small," Hearing Ao Xiaobing's answer, Sixth Ancestor Huineng knew it even more, and swung the golden bowl in the water, saying, "I'm asking you now, do you have the ability to swim into my golden bowl?" ”

Ao Xiaobing was eager to try: "Okay, then let me give it a try." ”

The little dragon's body is more than a foot long, and the diameter of Huineng's ancestral golden bowl is only six inches wide, the little dragon is spinning around on the golden bowl, and he can't swim in it after trying a few times, and he is a little discouraged: "Ahem, why is it so difficult to get into your golden bowl?!" ”。

"You've changed and you've gotten a little bigger. Okay, help people to the end, and send the Buddha to the west. Come, I'll help you. Huineng bent down and stretched out his hand, grabbed the little dragon, lifted it up, lifted it out of the water, and then bent its body and forcibly put it into the golden bowl.

Ao Xiaobing raised his head in the golden bowl and said proudly, "Master, I have now used a spell to enter your golden bowl. You're going to lose, right? ”

"You want me to give in?" Sixth Ancestor Hui Neng couldn't help but raise his head to the sky and laugh.

Ao Xiaobing blinked: "What's wrong?" You're smiling so much when you lose? ”

Sixth Ancestor Hui Neng pointed at Ao Xiaobing's head with his left hand and laughed: "Amitabha." Wonderful! Wonderful! Silongzi, this time in the competition, it's not that I lost, but that you have already lost. ”

Ao Xiaobing didn't know why: "What? I've already lost? ”

Sixth Ancestor Huineng nodded: "Yes, you have already lost." ”

Ao Xiaobing was puzzled: "You watched me use spells, I can make myself so big, and now I have become so small, obviously I am in control, why do you actually say that I have lost?" ”

"Indeed, you can make yourself bigger or smaller by using the thousand-year-old spells you have learned," Sixth Ancestor Huineng grinned, "but now, you are trapped in the golden bowl by me, curled up, unable to move anymore, let me ask, can you escape from my golden bowl now?" ”

The golden bowl held by the Sixth Patriarch Huineng is the supreme ancestral sacred relic in Buddhism, and its magic power is boundless. Its authority is equivalent to that of the emperor's seal in the world. Since the first ancestor Bodhidharma came from the east of Tianjia with a robe, he passed this mantle to the second ancestor Hui Ke, and then passed on the third ancestor Monk Can, the fourth ancestor Daoxin, the fifth ancestor Hongren, and finally passed on to the sixth ancestor Huineng. The lineage of Zen Buddhism has been passed down from generation to generation.

Ao Xiaobing tried to take off and escaped from the golden bowl, but most of the water in the golden bowl had been poured out by the Sixth Ancestor Huineng. As the saying goes: "The dragon is played by shrimp in shallow water." Ao Xiaobing struggled several times, but the inside of the golden bowl was as smooth as a mirror, the water was too shallow, and the dragon with a curled body couldn't use his strength, plus the golden mangs in this golden bowl were full of energy, and the Zen atmosphere was awe-inspiring, at this moment Ao Xiaobing panicked in his heart, and sighed helplessly: "Alas! This time, I really can't use the law, and I can't use the force. ”

The Sixth Ancestor Hui Neng said sharply: "Four dragons, as the saying goes, the tiger follows the wind, and the dragon fights the water." Now that you have left the water and entered into my golden bowl, you will not be able to escape even if you twist all your strength. So, I said you've already lost. ”

Only then did Ao Xiaobing know that he had fallen into the plan of the Sixth Ancestor Huineng, and in addition to regretting it, he scolded Huineng loudly: "Master, it turns out that you just used a trick to get me into this golden bowl step by step. ”

The Sixth Ancestor Hui Neng held the bowl with his right hand, pointed to his heart with his left hand, and his words concealed a sharp edge: "When the two armies meet, the wise wins." When you test spells, you rely on strength, and I use wisdom. Now you're in my pocket, in a cage. This is precisely the truth that evil prevails over good. ”

"This ......" Ao Xiaobing was trapped in the golden bowl, he couldn't fly if he wanted to, he couldn't escape, so he had to be slaughtered, so he begged, "Master, this time I admit defeat, beg you to let me out." ”

Sixth Ancestor Hui Neng was as cold as frost: "Let you out?" Good, good! You must know how many people you killed some time ago, and how much loss you caused to the surrounding villagers. People want to kill you. ”

The common people who were hiding in the distance to watch the excitement saw that the evil dragon had been managed by the Sixth Ancestor Huineng to be put into the golden bowl, and walked up from behind the big tree and beside the mound one after another, and gathered around to inspect it.

"You evil spirit, we will cut you into several pieces with a knife!"

"I'm going to cut you with a thousand cuts!"

"I'm going to skin you and cramp!"

"I'll fry you again!"

"Dig out your heart to make soup, and eat it in your stomach and you won't get rid of the hatred in your heart!"

In the face of the surging emotions of the people, shouting angrily, Ao Xiaobing was shocked, the invincible arrogance just now was gone, and with a bitter face, he begged: "Master spare your life, master spare your life!" ”

The Sixth Ancestor Hui Neng pointed to the people gathered around: "Tell the old man to spare your life?" You first have to ask them if they will. ”

Those ordinary people were deeply affected, so they were full of anger one by one, and scolded the dragon with their halberds.

In order to survive, Ao Xiaobing, who was in the golden bowl, had no choice but to apologize to the people in a low voice: "In the past, I was rash and wrong, and I will never dare to do anything wrong in the future......

The onlookers all gave a thumbs up to the Sixth Ancestor Hui Neng, saying that he had cast a spell to subdue the evil dragon.

The Sixth Ancestor Hui Neng pointed to the white dragon in the golden bowl and said to everyone: "The fact that it was accepted into the golden bowl by the old man does not mean that it has been subdued. ”

Liu Ruguang's old eyes blinked: "It has lost the ability to do evil, isn't this subduing it?" ”

Sixth Ancestor Hui Neng pointed to his heart: "It must be subdued in your heart to be regarded as a real subjugation." ”

Liu Ruguang nodded: "I understand, you mean to get rid of its evil roots, this is the real subjugation." ”

The people were a little skeptical: "Can the evil root of this dragon be removed?" ”

The Sixth Ancestor Hui Neng confidently said: "Although the dragon is a beast, it also has spirituality. As long as I come to enlighten it, it will also have Buddha nature in the future. ”

Liu Ruguang: "Ah, even this evil dragon will have Buddha nature in the future?" ”

Sixth Ancestor Huineng: "Yes, the flowers in the world bloom and fall, the moon is cloudy and sunny, and everything can be changed." Good and evil, good and bad are just a thought, wait for me to educate it with my heart, let it abandon evil and follow good, and benefit the people. ”

The people present knew that the Sixth Ancestor Hui Neng had boundless power, and nodded in praise.

Sixth Ancestor Hui Neng's face was serious: "Fourth Prince Long, if I let you out like this now, your bad roots have not been eradicated, and your stubbornness is difficult to change, and it is easy to repeat the offense when you have the opportunity, and go to harm the people of Limin." When I take you back to the Buddha Hall, I will first give you the Dharma and purify your heart. ”

Hui Neng said, holding the golden bowl containing the dragon in his hand, and walked back to the Baoling Temple.

Seeing that the dragon with its self-proclaimed supernatural powers was subdued by the Six Ancestors Hui Neng with a trick, the people who watched around praised him, and then responded with bursts of warm applause.

The Sixth Patriarch Hui Neng spoke to the white dragon in the golden bowl in the meditation room, and taught it the method of epiphany, until the dragon completely admitted its mistake, removed the evil root, and obediently put it back into the deep pool.

After this white dragon was subdued by the six ancestors Huineng, it really came to a rebirth, and its temperament was greatly changed, in addition to the division of labor of the Dragon King of the South China Sea on weekdays, to inspect the area under its jurisdiction, and to come to Cao Xi when he was free, listen to the words of the six ancestors Huineng, and follow the six ancestors Huineng. Since then, it has not only not disturbed the local people, but has also done great good. In every year of great drought, this dragon ploughs the clouds and sows rain, and scatters sweet rain to relieve the people's hardship. In flood years, it casts spells to drain floods and fight disasters.

Over the years, the surrounding wind and rain of Baoling Temple have been smooth, and the grains have been abundant.

Since then, this white dragon has become the protector dragon who follows the six ancestors Huineng.
