Chapter 18: A Way

Thinking of this, Ao Qing no longer hesitated, stabilized his mind, looked down at the huge dragon head, and asked the woodcutter: "Dare to ask this senior, which immortal in the Three Realms is it?" ”

Ao Qing's voice was slightly muddy and low, and this was because of the dragon's body. Although he didn't mean it, Long Wei exuded it, if it was an ordinary mortal, I am afraid that he would have been scared to the core.

But the woodcutter raised his head and looked at Ao Qing, but there was no fear on his face, but a smile: "I'm just a woodcutter, why did the dragon god say the words 'senior' and 'immortal'?" ”

Ao Qing couldn't help but slander in his heart: Why do all the masters like to play this set?

In "Journey to the West", the woodcutter saw the monkey and did not panic at all. Now that he sees his own dragon, he doesn't act at all. What's more, this time span is not ordinarily long!

If he is an ordinary person, Ao Qing will never believe it.

However, he didn't care, and still said respectfully: "The predecessor sang: 'With three points, the ants will travel thousands of miles, and all the leaves will fall.'" With that 'laughing at the red dust, sighing and dying', seeing through the world, how can non-immortals easily understand? ”

When the woodcutter heard this, he couldn't help but praise it in his heart, and he had understanding. It is worthy of the ancestor to take such a fancy to this dragon prince!

He smiled: "To tell you the truth, this word is called "Water Dragon Yin", and it was indeed taught to me by the gods." The immortal, called the Bodhi Patriarch, lives in this mountain. ”

Sure enough, it's the Bodhi Patriarch!

Ao Qing said: "Please guide the seniors, if you can hear the Tao, you will remember the great grace." ”

The woodcutter shook his head and said, "This road in the mountains is extraordinary. You can get there if I don't show you the way. You'll have to find it yourself, find it yourself! ”

Ao Qing was stunned.

What's the situation?

Before he could think about it, he saw the smoke and haze around him, and the sun and moon shaking brightly. In the blink of an eye, the woodcutter was gone, and the deep forest in front of him seemed to become open to succession, revealing mountain roads and forest paths.

Ao Qing paused.

But if you think about it carefully, it seems that in "Journey to the West", the woodcutter did not take the monkey to find the Bodhi Patriarch, but let the monkey find it on his own.

I don't think it's hard to find.

"That's fine."

Ao Qing looked at the forest path and mountain road, and there was no other way, so he wanted to fly high again, look down on Wanshan Mountain from the sky, and look for the Sanxing Cave.

However.

Just as Ao Qing was flying, something shocking happened.

The surrounding forest trees turned out to be ...... It suddenly became extremely huge!

How high Ao Qing flies, how big the forest is.

His body is 2,000 feet, and that tree can be as high as 10,000 feet, as if it is about to pierce the sky!

But in reality, no matter how far you fly, the sky is still endless. I have always been stuck in the woods.

Ao Qing was stunned.

It seems like...... It's kind of bad.

Why is it so like that I have been accepted by magic weapons such as purple gold red gourds, jade net bottles, or magical powers such as Qiankun in my sleeves?

He thought for a moment and stepped back. The tree, however, did not continue to grow, but gradually returned to its original state.

But as you go on, the trees rise tall again.

"I see."

Ao Qing understood.

It seems that he doesn't have the same treatment as his grandson.

If you want to go to Sanxingdong, maybe you can't just go.

Could it be that he was rejected?

No, it isn't.

Although he wanted to leave, the Bodhi Patriarch did not stop him, but the light on the island was real, and he did not take the initiative to break in.

If Patriarch Bodhi didn't want to, Ao Qing felt that he might not even be able to discover this continent.

So this scene in front of me is more like ...... Want to refuse or welcome?

Patriarch Bodhi wants to test himself?

Is it because when I was in Huaguo Mountain, I was seen by this Bodhi Patriarch? That's why there is a scene in front of you now?

The Bodhi Patriarch may have calculated a destined person. But I'm not sure if it's me or a monkey!

The more Ao Qing thought about it, the more he felt that it was likely to be the case.

In fact, he did guess eight or nine out of ten.

"Well, maybe, it's also an experience for me."

After thinking about it, he tried his best to shrink his body, and immediately resolutely entered the mountains and forests!

Although he has no confidence that he will be able to pass this trial, but the opportunity is just around the corner, how can there be a reason to retreat without trying?

And at the moment.

In the Sanxing Cave, as well as in the Putuo Luojia Mountain in the South China Sea, the Bodhi Patriarch and Guanyin Bodhisattva are all paying attention to Ao Qing.

However, for Ao Qing's choice, whether it is a bodhisattva or an ancestor, they have already expected it.

Although it was only a few face-to-face shots, they could see that Ao Qing was a person with a very high spirit.

Of course, this is not a bad thing.

On the way to cultivation, if the heart is not high, then perhaps, it will be difficult to achieve great things.

That's why the patriarch set this test.

"Let's see how far this son can go."

Patriarch Bodhi stroked his beard gently, his eyes slightly downcast.

This test of oneself is not bad, and it can even be said that the "path of mind cultivation" before his enlightenment has been fully manifested.

Therefore, there are countless mysteries hidden on the road. Although it is a test, it is also a kind of "teaching".

People on the road, if they can discover this mystery, even if they can't pass the test, they will definitely benefit a lot, and it can be regarded as a rare opportunity.

It's like an expected lesson before the official class.

How much reality does Ao Qing have? will all be groped out in this class.

On the other hand, the Bodhisattva saw that Ao Qing still chose to enter the mountain forest, although he had expected it, he still couldn't help but sigh lightly.

She also probably understood the patriarch's thoughts. My apprentice, if I use conventional means, I am afraid that I will not be able to harvest it.

Of course, maybe if you invite the Buddha to come forward, maybe you can grab it.

But...... After thinking about it, I can only forget it.

Although Ao Qing Buddha has a deep nature.

However, in order to rob the apprentice, you have to go out of your way to ask the Buddha, right?

What's more, the Bodhi Patriarch is proficient in the three teachings, although he has inherited the three Qings and practiced the three volumes of the "Yellow Court", but he also has a deep relationship with the Buddha and has had a period of cause and effect.

There is nothing wrong with having them take in disciples.

Having said that, Guanyin did not withdraw his gaze.

Like Patriarch Bodhi, she also wanted to see how far Ao Qing could go.

The threshold for Bodhi Patriarch to accept apprentices is not low.

Talent, understanding, potential, perseverance, all are indispensable!

And now Ao Qing's "talent" and "understanding" should be no problem.

Ao Qing is the son of the dragon clan, and he has the talent of the East China Sea.

As for its "understanding", it is even more extraordinary.

If nothing else, let's just say that it is "Buddha nature", and I have never read Buddhist scriptures, but I can have such a knowledge and understanding of Buddhism based on some legends and stories. It's a rarity.

But. Talent and understanding are only secondary.

The path of cultivation is only based on understanding, and after all, it is just a castle in the air!

Potential, perseverance, are also extremely important.

In the Bodhisattva's view, next, the patriarch must be to test Ao Qing's "potential" and "perseverance".

It's just, I don't know what method will be used?

The Bodhisattva looked closely.

But I saw that after Ao Qing passed through the mountains and forests, what he arrived at was an open road!

The road is open and open-minded. The width and narrowness are the same, and it connects thousands of mountains and ravines, sometimes steep, sometimes flat. Beyond the mainland, there are unusually calm rivers.

"It's ...... A road? ”

Guanyin Bodhisattva was slightly stunned.

Yes, one way.

A seemingly ordinary road.

"Not true. This road is extraordinary. ”

The Bodhisattva's gaze was slightly condensed.

Although it is just a seemingly ordinary path, the Bodhisattva feels a ...... aura of "Dao Fruit" from above!
