Chapter Twenty-Four: A Mountain

Ao Qing was stunned.

Patriarch?

He followed the woodcutter's gaze.

But I saw that on the broken "road", pieces of "fragments" suddenly turned into countless streamers, shooting towards Ao Qing's location!

Before Ao Qing could react, the countless streams of light suddenly shot into his huge dragon head, and then quickly merged into his mind!

Moment.

Ao Qing felt a sense of clarity like an initiation!

His mind seemed to be clearer than ever.

Past experiences seem to have become clear words, and you can flip through them in your mind at will.

And that's not all.

Ao Qing still has a feeling. That is, after the "streamer" is integrated into my mind, my understanding and memory of things have also been greatly improved.

Could it be that this is the harvest after discovering the "bodhichitta path"?

That's too generous!

Even if he can't successfully worship the ancestor as a teacher this time, with this harvest alone, Ao Qing feels that he has hope to be able to comprehend the dragon clan's "Dragon Ball" cultivation method on his own!

However, Ao Qing was not too excited, and he did not discourage the idea of apprenticeship because of this.

Since it is just a "bodhichitta path", it can bring such great benefits to oneself.

So, what when you really become a disciple of the patriarch?

He looked at the woodcutter, and the dragon's head waved: "Thank you, senior!" ”

saw the woodcutter hurriedly waved his hand: "Don't thank you wrong!" It's a fragment of your own realization, it's your own thing. And this path was arranged by the patriarch, so why do you have to thank me? ”

Ao Qing said: "Xiaolong Ao Qing, I hope that the seniors can point out the way, go to the place where the ancestor is, and worship the ancestor as a teacher!" ”

The woodcutter said with a smile: "Xiaoyou, I know that you want to worship the ancestor as a teacher, and your understanding is indeed very rare." However, the path of monasticism is not all about 'understanding'. Understanding, perseverance, Dao heart. Indispensable. Since you want to apprentice, then please go up the mountain! ”

"Up the mountain?"

Ao Qing was stunned.

He looked at the place where the glow wasβ€”the steep "mountains" that towered into the sky on all sides.

The mountain was more like a giant cone than a mountain. Its peak body is covered by glow, and the light wave is like a mirage, exuding a mysterious and heavy atmosphere.

Ao Qing was a little at a loss for a while.

He was about to ask, but in the blink of an eye, the woodcutter was gone.

Ao Qing suddenly realized.

It seems that the first "path of seeking" is not the real end.

Now I have reached the sunset. However, the glow is on a cliff! And this towering cliff should be the second "test" for yourself.

But Ao Qing was not impatient. It's like the first "path", and after passing it by yourself, you will have great gains. This second test should also contain chance!

Until now, Ao Qing has been faintly aware.

In a sense, the test itself is already a special kind of "pedagogy".

It's like the first way to seek.

It seems that they all realized by themselves, but without the help of that path, I am afraid that I may not be able to realize such a truth after meditating for 1,800 years.

It is even more impossible to discover the existence of the "bodhicitta path".

Although Ao Qing meditates on his own, he is still inspired by the development and teachings of seeking the path!

Since it is teachable.

So, what's there to complain about?

Therefore, now he even hopes that this test can be more serious.

After all, this is "class"!

After thinking about this, Ao Qing began to observe the cliff.

That "glow" should be its destination.

This cliff is indeed extremely high, and the height is even quite similar to the length of the road.

Ao Qing decided to give it a try. He lifted his body and rushed towards the place where the glow was.

Soon, as the green dragon flew into the sky, Ao Qing flew to an altitude of 39,000 zhang. And this is almost the limit of what he can fly now.

Although there is still a long way to go from the "glow" - it is estimated that there are at least hundreds of thousands of zhang.

However, in this process, Ao Qing did not feel similar restrictions on "seeking the road".

His body has not become smaller, and the altitude of his flight has not been limited.

In other words, the glow and the cliffs are just "high".

This second test is very simple and intuitive.

However, it's also hard!

It's like a mortal going to climb a mountain. Today's Ao Qing is just a mortal dragon compared to this "Xiaguang Peak".

His own natural means of flying can only last about 30,000 zhang. Further up, you need to borrow power to rest, but the surroundings of Xia Guang Peak seem to diffuse mana, and there is no way to borrow power.

Ao Qing fell to the ground, carefully observing the things around him. And thinking about how I can take advantage of the trick and climb this mountain as if I had discovered the "bodhichitta path".

I thought about it for a long time, but I still didn't have a clue.

Or the answer is...... Not at all.

It's a mountain.

If there is no mystery of the road, there is naturally no shortcut to the road.

Let alone.

I remembered what the woodcutter had just said.

"Understanding, perseverance, and Dao heart are all indispensable......"

I see!

Ao Qing understood, he said to the sky: "Thank you seniors for your kindness!" ”

Yes, the woodcutter has told him the answer to the second level. That's ...... Perseverance!

On the path of monasticism, understanding and potential are of course important. But perseverance is also important!

If you only have extraordinary understanding and potential, but you don't work hard, you just play tricks. Then, it must be difficult to succeed.

In order to get rid of the confusion of seeing and thinking, dust and sand, and ignorance in his heart, the Buddha began to count from the fruit position of Sudra Huan, and survived the three major monk tribulations.

In Taoism, the Jade Emperor first went through 2,400 eons, then 3,200 eons to become an immortal, and another 100 million eons before he became the emperor.

Even in "Journey to the West", the Jade Emperor has gone through 1,750 eons, each of which is 129,600 years.

Even the Tang monks and apprentices went to the West Heaven to get a scripture, and they had to go through the tribulation of three or three, and the difficulty of ninety-nine!

This second level is the Bodhi Patriarch, the test and tempering of Ao Qing's "perseverance"!!

Ao Qing looked around.

With such a smooth "Kasumigami Peak", it is difficult to break through the limit and climb the high mountain with its own strength.

Moreover, he tried to hit this "Xiaguang Peak", and the mountain peak was shrouded in mana, and it didn't move at all, and it didn't even make a single vibration. Scratching with the dragon's claws, there is not the slightest trace.

But.

On this continent, there are thousands of peaks, mountains and rocks, and huge peaks are endless.

What if all these peaks and rocks were gathered together and piled up!?

Ao Qing remembered the allusion of "crows drink water".

The water was in the bottle, and the stone overflowed, and then the water was drunk.

Although, it's a stupid idea.

But what is needed for the second level is this stupid method of "foolish man moving mountains".

Thinking of this, Ao Qing no longer hesitated.

"Roar!!"

He revealed his full form, roared, and slammed toward a hill.

Bang!!

The hill was hit by Ao Qing's dragon body, sending out a huge earthquake. The mountain shattered, and the rocks rolled everywhere.

Then, Ao Qing picked up the mountain and piled up the boulders at the foot of Xiaguang Peak.

Although, it may not be fruitful at first. However, Ao Qing chooses to be tough with this mountain to the end!

One day, the heavy mountains that he has accumulated will gather into a huge ladder, allowing Ao Qing to borrow his strength and reach the peak!
