Chapter 13 Reaching the South China Sea
Yes. The reason why Guanyin Bodhisattva pays attention to the dragon clan, and even pays special attention to Ao Qing, is precisely because the Bodhi Patriarch came over in advance and asked her to help and try to see if Ao Qing is really related to him.
Because what Ao Qing did really moved Patriarch Bodhi.
It's just that after Guanyin Bodhisattva calculated at that time, he didn't care much. After all, although Ao Qing showed benevolence and virtue, he was gifted with wisdom. However, Buddhism has always been based on "Buddha nature".
At this point, Ao Qing had never shown anything special before.
On the contrary, the dragon girl has had wisdom roots since she was a child. Therefore, Guanyin Bodhisattva will gladly accept the dragon girl as his own threat.
Who knows.
Today, after observing and hearing Ao Qing's understanding of "obsession", Guanyin Bodhisattva found out...... You may have "lost your eyes"!
This son's Buddha nature is amazing. If you can enter the Buddha's door, you may even become a Buddha in the future!
Thinking of this, Guanyin Bodhisattva shook his head slightly, revealing a somewhat wry smile. The Bodhi Patriarch is worthy of being a figure like the Buddha. His own vision is still not as good as his long-term vision.
In fact, Guanyin Bodhisattva didn't know that the Bodhi Patriarch who was observing Ao Qing at this time was also a little surprised by Ao Qing's "sand house" theory.
Although, this theory of "non-attachment" can be seen through by many great supernatural beings in the Three Realms. However, Ao Qing is only a "young dragon" that has only been born for 500 years after all.
Non-attachment, the enlightenment of obsession, can be said to be the more profound content of Buddhism, and sometimes even intelligent bhikshus often have doubts about the Dharma.
But as a "young dragon", Ao Qing can not only understand by himself without a teacher, but also tell a short and easy-to-understand story and teach it to the dragon girl...... It seems that he is really not mistaken, this dragon prince is really destined for himself!
Of course.
Buddha-nature is only one aspect.
Although now Ao Qing is qualified to become his own disciple. But how far can he go?
At this point, Patriarch Bodhi still wants to give it a try.
Buddha-nature alone is not necessarily enough. Patriarch Bodhi is not a simple Buddhist. He is not only proficient in Buddhism, but also extremely proficient in Taoism and Confucianism.
The so-called "wonderful performance of three multiplications, subtle and ten thousand laws"!
Confucianism is the foundation, the Tao is the door, and the interpretation is the rule.
Nowadays, Ao Qing has Buddha nature, but Buddha nature is just a kind of nature, which is easier said than done.
What's more, Dao heart and family are also very important points. If you only have Buddha-nature, you don't have other qualities. What about this Ao Qing...... Under his own door, he may have limited achievements after all.
Who doesn't want their disciples to be better?
Therefore, Bodhi Patriarch still intends to observe again.
He opened his eyes and waved the dust in his hands.
I saw that above the sea, suddenly the water column was tumbling, and the torrent was surging, and then, from the bottom of the sea, a continent in the middle of the earth was pulled up!
On the continent, time seems to be rapidly shifted, rapidly evolving, giving birth to flowers and trees, mountains and rivers, and glowing clouds.
Above the South China Sea, there is such a continent out of thin air. It is said that the Dragon King of the South China Sea should have sensed it.
But what is shocking is that the Bodhi Patriarch has formed such a handful of strokes in his sleeves, and he is ...... It didn't cause any great movement, and it was even as natural as a breeze blowing on the moon.
Even, Mo said that it was the dragon king, and even the surrounding water tribes did not have much reaction.
……
……
Ao Qing naturally didn't know that he would be concerned by Guanyin Bodhisattva and Bodhi Patriarch.
And of course.
Although, Guanyin Bodhisattva or Bodhi Patriarch. They are all great supernatural beings in the Three Realms, and they are similar to the means of "Heavenly Eye Pass" and "Heavenly Ear Pass" in the Six Paths of Buddhism, and they can easily do it.
But who usually observes an ordinary dragon?
And Ao Qing did not worship devoutly, reciting the name of "Bodhisattva".
According to common sense, even in the ceremonial guard, Guanyin Bodhisattva should not have much observation of him.
In fact, it was.
If there is no Bodhi Patriarch, Guanyin Bodhisattva may not pay attention to Ao Qing, let alone take a look at Ao Qing's so-called "Buddha nature" because of this.
It can only be said that this is also due to chance.
Although there is no chance, he will also use his own methods to pursue it. But in this way, it saves Ao Qing a lot of work.
Of course, he doesn't know that yet.
Today's Ao Qing crossed the East China Sea with the Dragon Maiden and 90,000 water tribes and came to the South China Sea.
As soon as he came to the South China Sea, he soon felt something. In the South China Sea, there were dozens of generals who came out of the water with the South China Sea soldiers and saluted Ao Qing and the Dragon Girl.
In addition, the Dragon King of the South China Sea even came forward in person to greet Ao Qing.
I saw that in the sea, as the water division general opened a curtain of ten thousand miles, a fierce flame and light suddenly appeared, and then a huge red dragon of thousands of zhang rolled out of the sea, covering the sky and the sun, the momentum was strong, and its breath was also scorching and urgent.
That's the Dragon King of the South China Sea, Ao Qin!
The dragon clan in the East China Sea is mostly green dragons because they belong to wood; The South China Sea is a fire, and it is mostly a red dragon.
In addition, the North Sea belongs to water, and most of the North Sea dragons are also black dragons. The West Sea is gold, and the "gold" here is not gold, but "gold and iron", so the West Sea Dragon Clan is a white dragon.
The talent of the Four Seas Dragon Clan is also different because of this. If you talk about the method of controlling water, the North Sea Dragon Clan is stronger, and if you talk about the method of controlling fire, it is the South China Sea Dragon King who is the most.
The East China Sea wants to send the Dragon Maiden to Luojia Mountain in Putuo in the South China Sea, and the Dragon King of the South China Sea knows everything.
He didn't dare to slack off. Therefore, he appeared in person, greeted Ao Qing, and led the way for Ao Qing.
After all, Ao Qing is the Dragon Prince of the East China Sea, equivalent to the future Dragon King of the East China Sea!
The four seas are valued by the East China Sea, and in the future, Ao Qing will be the "Lord of the Four Seas" after Ao Guang!!
Although the Dragon King of the South China Sea is Ao Qing's uncle in terms of identity. But even so, he didn't dare to rely on his identity to despise Ao Qing. After all, this is also the "code" that the Four Seas Dragon Clan has always followed.
With the Dragon King of the South China Sea leading the way, Ao Qing knew that this Putuo Luojia Mountain in the South China Sea was already close at hand!
When he reached the South China Sea, he met the Dragon King of the South China Sea, and Ao Qing didn't talk much with the Dragon Girl.
After another rush, with the guidance of the South China Sea Dragon Clan, Ao Qing soon saw a bamboo forest, standing by the sea, and the bamboo forest was attached between two high mountains.
That's Putuo Rock, Luojia Mountain!
But see, the mountains are majestic and horizontal, and the hills are continuous; The island is full of sparkling water and lush flowers.
The forest is densely planted with vegetation and shakes the greenery; In the path, the huge rock layer appears, and the strange stone stands steeply.
The stream is winding, and the birds are singing.
What a pure place for Buddhism!
