Chapter 51: Nezha?
What is the essence of the mind, Ao Qing actually seems to understand it and is not very clear.
But one thing is certain, that is, this power is in the same vein as the power of the Bodhi Patriarch!
Because, his "Bodhi Son" was originally obtained under the opportunity "Bodhi Tree" given by the Bodhi Patriarch.
Later, when he officially apprenticed, the Bodhi Patriarch even gave Ao Qing the name of the word "heart" inherited from the Sanxing Cave.
What does this mean?
This means that Ao Qing is really completely and has inherited the Taoism of the Bodhi Patriarch!
So, what is the path of the Bodhi Patriarch?
Is it seventy-two changes? Is it a great product of heavenly immortals?
Or, is it the integration of the three teachings of "Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism"?
Actually, neither, or not at all.
Although these are the supreme teachings of Patriarch Bodhi. However, the true inheritance of Patriarch Bodhi has only one word "heart".
Lingtai square inch, oblique moon three-star, "Bodhi", and "Bodhi".
All of this shows that the "heart" is the most important inheritance of the Bodhi Patriarch.
It's like the "Tao" of Taoism and the "Buddha" of Buddhism.
The three teachings of the Bodhi Patriarch are the same, and the ultimate destination lies in the "heart"!
And now, Ao Qing looked at the "heart realm" in front of him. Isn't this the "Lingtai Fangcun Mountain" and "Leaning Moon Three-Star Cave"?
It's just that it doesn't belong to the Bodhi Patriarch, but belongs to oneself, a "heart realm" that inherits the past and opens up the future.
The two are in the same vein, but they are not necessarily the same.
"Is this the true inheritance of the patriarch...... No wonder when I told Master about Bodhi that day, he was so happy. Ao Qing couldn't help but think of the relief in the eyes of the patriarch when he apprenticed that day.
But.
What's so wonderful about this realm of mind?
Ao Qing was a little puzzled by this.
Although he initially realized the "mental realm" from the Bodhi Child, he still did not know what the role of this mental realm was.
Yes.
Now the "heart realm" in front of Ao Qing's eyes is just the most basic blank world.
Obviously, this world, unlike Fangcun Mountain, can be both illusory and real, completely hidden in the Three Realms, and become a world of its own.
Even Ao Qing tried to cultivate here, but found that although he could cultivate, his aura was no different from the outside world, and the flow rate of time should be no different.
In that case, it doesn't feel like there's much point in cultivating here.
Because since there is no essential difference, it is better to cultivate directly in reality.
But that being said.
"There must be something wonderful about this 'heart realm'. It's just that maybe you can't look at it from the perspective of Sanxingdong. ”
Ao Qing thought about what the patriarch said when he evaluated his "Bodhi Zi".
Bodhi is actually a "seed".
And the "heart realm" is a "flower" that blooms from a seed.
But. Every seed blooms into a flower, and it is never the same. The flowers are similar, but not all the same.
Therefore, the Bodhi Patriarch said that Ao Qing's Bodhi Son could bear what kind of fruit it would produce in the future, and the Patriarch could not judge.
Regardless, one thing is certain. That is, he has indeed embarked on the path of cultivation that is synchronized with his ancestors.
It's just like what the patriarch said.
If it is said that the magic powers such as "Dragon Ball" and "Zhou Tian Change Technique" are the path of seeking immortals.
Then, this "mind realm", this "Bodhi realm", is to build the path! It's your own Dao fruit!
Fan, Immortal, Sacred, Dao, the four realms. Today's Ao Qing is in the realm of "immortals", although it is already very powerful. But if you want to reach the "holy" realm, and even the final "Tao" realm. It is definitely not enough to rely on seeking immortals alone, you still have to cultivate!
Ao Qing thought for a moment, and suddenly, stretched out his right hand.
Above his right hand, a fragment slowly appeared, which was none other than Ying Long's Dragon Ball fragment.
Yes, Ao Qing suddenly thought of Ying Long's Dragon Ball shard.
I was able to initially comprehend the bodhicitta realm in the bodhi seed thanks to the Dragon Ball fragments.
But supposedly, the Dragon Ball Fragment and the Bodhi Seed should be two unrelated things.
Including when the patriarch mentioned the Dragon Ball before, he also told Ao Qing that this "Dragon Ball Fragment" was his fate.
So, there must be some reason for this.
Although Ao Qing couldn't judge the connection between the two. But between the two, there must be a connection.
If this connection is not in the past, maybe ...... It's in the "future"!
Because the Tao itself is an eternal and free existence that transcends all time and space.
In Taoism and Buddhism, the past, present, and future are more synchronous.
Just like the Buddha of the past, the Buddha of the present and the Buddha of the future, these three Buddhas represent the three worlds respectively, and one thought is eternal.
There is no such thing as Shakyamuni passing away, and Maitreya will replace the current Buddha.
So, maybe for now, Ao Qing's Dragon Ball fragment has no causal connection with Bodhizi, but he doesn't guarantee that there will be no connection in the future.
And that's exactly what happened.
At the same time that Ao Qing took out the Dragon Ball shards. Suddenly! One after another is spreading steeply in the bodhicitta realm!!
Buzzing!!
Streams of light, like ripples, continue to rise and render in the bodhicitta realm.
It's as if you want to fill the entire blank mind with color.
In an instant, in front of Ao Qing's eyes, pieces of divine light appeared. The almost infinite blank world radiated light and shadow with the appearance of divine light.
With the appearance of light and shadow, Ao Qing's mind suddenly had a lot of scenes.
He seemed to see the scene of a boy with pink makeup playing with a green dragon and chasing hydrangeas in the light and shadow.
The boy was handsome, with the word "which" on his left palm and the word "zha" on his right palm.
It's actually "Nezha"!?
That's not right, right.
In "Journey to the West", is the relationship between Nezha and the dragon family so good? Didn't he go down to the East China Sea three days after he was born, stepped on the Crystal Palace, and smoked dragon tendons to make tapestry?
Ao Qing was a little puzzled.
But that scene was fleeting, and soon, with the change of light and shadow, it turned into another appearance - it was a young man, holding a Fang Tian painting halberd, riding the monstrous waves, and rising into the sky.
Na Nezha, under the huge waves, stretched out his hands, as if to chase the boy.
Nezha's eyes were full of worry. It was clear that he cared deeply about the boy!
And what shocked Ao Qing the most was that between the young man's eyebrows, there were eight or nine points similar to Ao Qing!!
The scene continues to transform.
In the next moment, it was the young man who manifested his true body, roaring in all directions.
The young man's real body was a golden dragon, not the green dragon in the first scene.
Three rays of light and shadow emerged one after another, and in an instant, they shattered one after another.
Rumble!
All disillusionment is in the dust.
Ao Qing opened his eyes suddenly, and the treasure hall shook, and a momentum spread out.
"What was that just now?"
Ao Qing was stunned.
He felt it and found that his mind could still be opened. But it's still a blank slate.
The light and shadow in the Dragon Ball fragments seem to be gone.
"Could it be that one of my brothers that my father kept mentioning? However, how can he look so much like me after his transformation? Ao Qing was a little surprised.
If it's a green dragon, or a yellow dragon or something, this is understandable.
But what he can't understand is why this brother of his is eight or nine points similar to himself after his transformation!
You must know that Ao Qing's appearance is a combination of his own image in his previous life. In this world, how can there be people who are exactly the same, and who also happen to be their "brother"!?
Isn't it ......!!
Ao Qing suddenly, a possibility appeared in his mind.
