Chapter Twenty-Seven: A Tree

On Fangcun Mountain, Patriarch Bodhi looked down on the "earth" he had created.

That's not the real earth.

The three-star cave of the oblique moon, the Lingtai Fangcun Mountain. The dojo of Patriarch Bodhi, and even Patriarch Bodhi himself, is actually a symbol of "heart", "enlightenment" and "wisdom".

Therefore, what is in the eyes of Bodhi today is actually between the real and the unreal.

But that doesn't mean what's happening in front of you is false.

At this time, on the earth, a 12,000-zhang green dragon rose to the sky!

That's Ao Qing!

Ao Qing has gone through precipitation, and under the migration of the years, it has accumulated stone steps to climb to the top of Xiaguang Peak.

And at this moment, it's finally time to fly!

But he was clothed in divine light, harnessing the wind, and breaking through the heavy clouds. As if breaking through the barrier, he rushed to the top of the mountain.

However, when he saw that he was only less than a thousand zhang away from the Xiaguang Peak, he was suddenly blocked by a pressure, and his body slowed down!

The wind and waves seemed to be turning at the peak, like sharp blades, slashing towards Ao Qing's body.

Although he endured it, he still felt an unimaginable weight.

It's as if there are mountains of knives pressing on top of his head, causing his "body" to crack!

It's scary.

You must know that today's Ao Qing is 12,000 zhang old, and his scales are as condensed as gold and iron, and he is already "invulnerable".

But unexpectedly, he was still injured!

If Ao Qing, who had a two-thousand-zhang dragon body at the beginning, was here, I am afraid that in an instant, his body would be pressed down by this pressure.

It seems that this second level is really unstoppable.

If nothing else, even if you come here by chance, how can you reach the peak unharmed?

But.

After such years of tempering, Ao Qing is now what it used to be!

On the top of the cloud mountain, the Bodhi Patriarch pinched his beard with his left hand, and the dust in his right hand shook gently.

It seems that at any time, they want to help them.

But in the end, he endured.

Because he knows that today's Ao Qing is actually not desperate.

Ao Qing is going to be able to do it, almost to the extreme, not only his body has grown close to the limit, but even the mountains and rocks that can be seen in the radius are piled up under this peak.

That's why this flight is possible.

As the saying goes: hard-working people, the sky does not pay.

With such perseverance, how can you break through the cloud barrier!?

In fact, Ao Qing really did not disappoint Patriarch Bodhi.

In that high heaven, he really withstood the weight from the top of his head!

Even though his body was already drenched in blood when he was a hundred feet away from the peak, he still insisted on reaching the place where the glow was!

By this point, his energy had almost run out, but his will had not wavered.

There was a little appreciation in Patriarch Bodhi's eyes.

Although what happened in front of him did not exceed his expectations, Ao Qing's performance can really be called "eye-catching".

But immediately, the appreciation in the patriarch's eyes disappeared in an instant.

Because, the "third test" that Ao Qing will face will be a final "threshold".

One determines whether Ao Qing is a "cultivator" or an "immortal seeker".

Originally, Patriarch Bodhi did not intend to reveal this kind of threshold at such an early stage.

Because monasticism is not a one-time thing.

It's like the Monkey King in "Journey to the West". The Bodhi Patriarch is a symbol of "wisdom" and "enlightenment", but in the end, the monkey only learned the mana of seventy-two changes and somersault clouds in the Patriarch.

left "Bodhi", with arrogance and "heart ape", and was driven out of the three-star cave.

Originally, Ao Qing should have been similar to a monkey.

But.

Now, it's a small accident.

Ao Qing's comprehension and tenacity made the patriarch turn this third test into an inspiration for the "Dao Heart".

If he can cross this threshold.

So...... The future is limitless!

……

……

At this time.

The glow is gradually converging.

Ao Qing finally crossed the test of the second "mountain".

When he came to the peak, he found that there was nothing at the top of the peak.

The original glow has gone. This is not a "three-star hole" either.

It's just a lonely peak.

Surrounded by cliffs, there is no way out.

Only, in the middle of it, there was a tree that was not very large.

The tree was dark green with a faint glow, a green back, a sharp tip, and a tail at the top.

From this tree, the surging sounds seem to carry the meaning of "empty nature", and they radiate as if they were nothing.

Patriarch Bodhi is not here. Could it be that the "test" is not over?

This is the third "test" of the patriarch?

A tree?

Ao Qing couldn't help but be a little stunned.

A road, he knows that he can finish it.

A mountain, he knew, just climb it.

But.

How do you do a tree to pass the test?

Could it be said?

Ao Qing carefully observed the tree in front of him.

Suddenly, his heart moved.

This tree, Ao Qing did not recognize. However, when he thought of the word "Bodhi" in the name of Patriarch Bodhi, he couldn't help but have an idea.

Could it be that this tree is ...... Bodhi tree?

The Bodhi Tree, whose real name is the Bibala Tree.

Legend has it that the Buddha Shakyamuni was enlightened and enlightened under this Bodhi tree. Hence the name "Bodhi".

Bodhi, on the other hand, means "wisdom" and "enlightenment".

If this tree is really a Bodhi tree, then this is the third test.

Maybe...... It's a bit of an eyebrow.

Could it be that the patriarch meant to "enlighten" himself?

Ao Qing paused.

Immediately after, bursts of light emanated from his body, and the armor began to make a sound of gold and iron grinding, and gradually, his body began to shrink and shrink.

In an instant, the dragon body that was ten thousand feet long became smaller like this, and it only stopped when it reached about ten zhang or so.

Yes. In the process of tempering his body when he "climbed the mountain", Ao Qing not only grew his body, but also stimulated his talent for "becoming bigger and smaller" freely, and now he can reduce his body to a size of more than ten zhang.

After shrinking his body, the Bodhi tree became a little bigger in front of his eyes.

That tree, about less than a hundred zhang tall, is not small in the mortal world, but in Ao Qing's eyes, it is not big.

He tried to get close to the linden tree.

But at this moment, suddenly, Ao Qing's body gave birth to a sense of restlessness, and a wave of anxiety and tiredness appeared in his mind.

It seems that when you approach the Bodhi tree, you can't help but feel pain and suffering in your heart.

What's going on?

Ao Qing paused, then calmed down and continued to rush forward.

But he found that just ten feet away from the Bodhi tree, a huge roar suddenly came out of his mind, which made him feel dizzy for a while!
