Chapter Fifty-Six: The Roc Golden-winged Bird
'Mount Meru??? Mount Meru seems to have heard of ...... Mountain somewhere' When Patriarch Bodhi mentioned the words "Mount Meru", Li Tianhao flashed a trace of memory in his mind.
'Oh! That's right! ’
Li Tianhao remembered that when he was in Huaguo Mountain, a Tongbei ape spirit once told them that the legendary Yanfu World was located in the southern part of the four continents of Mount Meru, and what he and the stone monkey were looking for when they went to sea this time was this "Yanfu World on Mount Meru"!
'And what kind of animal is the Roc Goldwinged Bird?' Li Tianhao was puzzled, so he had to seek advice from his master, Patriarch Bodhi.
"Master, who is this Dapeng Golden-winged Bird on Mount Meru? How could Li Yuanba be its incarnation? Li Tianhao asked the Bodhi Patriarch.
"The Roc Goldfinch itself has beautiful feathers and lives on the big iron tree north of Mount Meru. At the beginning of the chaos, my Buddha once sent these Dapeng Golden-winged Birds to protect the human land, and these Dapeng Golden-winged Birds have always been pecking at the demon dragons and flood beasts that are raging on the human land, creating a peaceful world for the quiet survival of human beings. Patriarch Bodhi replied.
When Patriarch Bodhi said this, he paused for a moment, and then said: "The Dapeng Golden-winged Bird lives on Mount Nameru all year round and inhabits the big iron tree.
Suddenly, one day, a bright flower bloomed on the big iron tree, and the flower was dazzling and dazzling. Accustomed to eating the demon dragons and flood beasts that ravaged the world, suddenly a Dapeng Goldfinch became interested in this flower on the iron tree!
The Dapeng Goldfinch could not bear the loneliness in his heart, and forgot the warning given to them by the Buddha, telling them not to approach the fruits and flowers on the iron tree, let alone taste them.
Who knows, there is such a Dapeng golden-winged bird that broke the Buddha's precepts, and secretly ate this bright flower on the iron tree without authorization.
Who knew that the incomparably bright iron tree flower was poisonous to the Dapeng Goldfinch itself, and it was a counterweight to its body.
Soon after the Dapeng golden-winged bird stole the flowers of the iron tree, he burned Nirvana and died, and was reincarnated in the father of Li Shimin, the current Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, that is, the Gaozu Emperor of the current Tang Dynasty, and Li Yuan, who was the Taishou of Xingyang and Lou Fu at the time.
The eaten iron tree flowers also transformed into a drum urn and golden hammer weighing 800 catties! ”
