Chapter 1: The Soul of the Green Dragon
In the second year of filial piety, the Northern Wei Dynasty and Liu Song Dynasty seized the world, since the Beiyuan bloody war more than 100 years ago, the Xiuzhen world fell into the war of snatching the magic beads, and the major sects gathered disciples everywhere in order to enhance the prestige of the realm, and the wind of cultivating immortals was very popular for a while.
It is early summer, and the sun is clear in Huiji County, and the clouds are comfortable.
A horse to open the way of the Baogai carriage, is heading towards Cheng County, there is a young couple sitting in the car, the young woman eyebrows are elegant, wearing a tender yellow dress, more lined skin like fat, people are as light as chrysanthemums, only to see her waist round, belly slightly protruding, it turned out to be a fetus in the womb, has been about August and September.
"Madame, is she unwell? I asked the groom to be a little slower. Tao Zhenbao looked at his beloved wife Hao with concern.
Hao Shi pressed the position of his heart with a handkerchief, and said softly, "It's okay, husband." Don't delay the hour. It's still far from Jingshi! ”
After that, Tao Zhenbao picked up the tea cup in the bag and poured a cup of tea for the young woman. Lifted the inner curtain and looked at the scene outside the car, the carriage was slowly driving on the forest path, and I could see some businessmen full of cargo boxes, thinking that it was not far from the county seat.
In the middle of the night, I drove to the front of the county seat, and with the inspection of the guards at the gate, there was a long queue of fish and dragons, and there was no end in sight.
The groom lowered his head and whispered outside the car, "Official, the line of pedestrians over there is faster, why don't you two get out of the car and walk around and enter the city through the pass over there?" The little ones are waiting here. ”
Tao Zhenbao thought about it for a moment and bowed his head silently. Holding Hao's jade hand, he got out of the carriage. From a distance, the good couple is natural, and it is not the right pair of wall people.
Not long after entering the city, I was attracted by a majestic temple in the distance.
"This should be the rumored Ashoka Temple." Tao Zhenbao said along his wife's line of sight.
"I heard that there was once a cyan pagoda gushing out of the ground in this temple, and the tower contained the real body relics of Shakyamuni, I don't know if it's true or not." Hao likes to study Buddhist doctrine and has a lot of knowledge about ancient temples and temples.
"Therefore, the incense is prosperous. Madame is interested in taking a look? Tao Zhenbao knew her thoughts and asked with a smile.
She looked at her smiling husband with a shallow eyebrow, "Naturally." Pray for my husband and my son. Is this the only time to be in time? As she spoke, she stroked her abdomen with her hand.
"It's okay, and I'll look for the groom when I can get out."
In the Asoka Temple, the incense is really prosperous as expected, and all around are pious men and women, and occasionally there are one or two monks with wide robes and fairy bones. The ancient temple is located at the foot of Taibai Mountain, surrounded by mountains and mountains, the ancient trees in the courtyard are towering and luxuriant, the sunlight is sprinkled on the eaves of the temple, the bells are melodious, echoing in the valley, the monks started the practice of the day early, chanting the Buddha, the Sanskrit sound bursts, showing a solemn and peaceful scene. The building in the temple maintains the style of the Jin Dynasty, delicate and solemn, in the hall of the great majesty, the golden body of Sakyamuni sits upright, the golden light is shining, it is really the pure land of Buddhism, and the name is well deserved.
After the couple finished praying, they were sightseeing in the bamboo forest behind the courtyard along the path, but there was a faint sound of a man talking in the depths of the bamboo forest, "Elder, that magic bead has been suppressed for more than a hundred years, and the seal seems to be loosening. ”
"How long can you expect it to last?"
"At most, in January, I will go back to the sect to restore my life, and when there are countermeasures in the sect, I will bother again."
The rest of the conversation seemed to be muffled, and it was not very clear to hear.
At this time, after Tao Zhenbao and his wife passed by, an imperceptible black gas was faintly revealed on the Ashoka Pagoda of the Sealed Forbidden Land, and there was a blue light looming in the black gas, and the sky that was originally still clear and bright was overwhelmed by dark clouds in an instant, lightning and thunder, and the sky was very weird.
The sky and the earth were pitch black, the rain was pouring down, and the wind was howling, as if the whole sky had been torn apart. Tao Zhenbao hurriedly picked up his wife, who was already unable to move, hurriedly sheltered from the rain, and turned into a rather empty temple. Rows of Buddha statues stand quietly in the hall. In the light of the candle flame, it looks mysterious and solemn.
After a while, more and more people gathered in the temple to take shelter from the rain, all talking about the sudden heavy rain, speculating about how long the rain would last, but Tao Zhenbao did not care about this, his full attention was on his wife and the unborn child in his womb.
Time passed slowly, and the rain showed no signs of stopping.
Tao Baozhen was suffering from his wife's abdominal pain, and hurriedly found the monks in the temple for help.
But the sky outside the hospital was strange, and there was no woman in the hospital who was good at childbirth, only to see Hao's sideburns drenched with sweat, and her face was pale because of pain, so she didn't dare to delay any longer, so she had to find two pilgrim women with production experience to help take care of her.
Hao fainted in the panic of everyone, and the fetus in her womb waved her limbs restlessly, as if she was frightened by something.
Hao Shi fell into a fantasy realm, she seemed to hear bursts of Sanskrit sounds coming from the Ashoka Tower, her soul drifted towards the Ashoka Tower, but saw a green dragon bound in the air by thousands of blood-colored tentacles, the sound of the dragon's roar, the sound of blood. She wanted to step forward to check, but the mirror image in front of her turned around, and she fell into the darkness of no bounds, a demon egg was constantly sucking the essence of the green dragon through those blood-colored tentacles, the demon egg was like a heart, every time it beats, it will be greedily sucked once, and a large piece of spiritual light will collapse on the surface of the green dragon's body. She wanted to take a step forward to help the green dragon, but she was suddenly stared at by the cold gaze of the demon egg, and she saw the abyss that seemed to be able to swallow her together, and gradually sank......
At the same time, there was also a fierce fight outside the Ashoka Pagoda, the abbot of Cihui in the temple has been out of the body, flew into the forbidden place here, although he is old, but his posture is as tall as a pine, and his spirit is strong. He was wearing a dark monk's robe, with a solemn face and bright eyes, and he was holding a Zen staff and a cloud of black mist fighting in mid-air. Whenever the black mist flew into the sky, there would be a golden swastika mantra and a cyan Tai Chi pattern in the void to suppress it, and the black mist violently collided with the two true dharmas of Buddhism and Taoism, and every time it hit, the Ashoka Pagoda trembled once, as if it was about to break out of the tower.
I saw the abbot Cihui's monk's robe agitating, the golden light all over his body, reciting Buddhist scriptures, and the Buddhist swastika mantra pressed towards the black qi, as if to trap the monster, but only the true law of Buddhism could not compete with the black qi, the physical consumption of the abbot Cihui was huge, his hands were already trembling slightly, his face was anxious, and his heart was even more puzzled, how could this monster be so restless today, could it be that something had changed?
Seeing that the situation was uncertain, several personal disciples who knew the inside story wanted to step forward to help the master, but they were all stopped by the elders of the courtyard one by one, and they did not reach the reincarnation realm of Buddhism.
At this critical moment, Abbot Cihui suddenly roared as a Buddhist lion, and his voice was like thunder in the mountains and forests. The golden Zen staff emitted a dazzling light, and the volley fought against the black qi, a string of jade prayer beads were closed on the chest of the abbot of Cihui, and then the prayer beads were broken, and the crystal clear jade beads containing the supreme Dharma shot towards the black qi all over the sky, and the black mist was like a great enemy, transforming into a huge black shield to block it, who knew that the rosary suddenly burst open, and the black mist exploded into several balls and scattered around.
Ordinary people didn't know what was going on in the temple at all, but this vision of heaven and earth instantly woke up Sun Youyue, a Taoist from Maoshan who was still flying in mid-air, this person was dressed in green clothes, wearing a Taoist crown, and carrying a magic sword, and was lying on a huge wine gourd and falling asleep. He patted his head and said, "It's not good, I'm not going to be late, Daoist!" Then he quickly took out a yellow talisman from his bosom, and a spell flew towards the Ashoka Temple.
Although the monster had just received a blow from Cihui, it did not hurt the vital point, and it only condensed again after a while, and then spewed out a poisonous mist like a substance towards Cihui, and the poisonous mist dissolved the golden light of the protective body in front of the abbot in the blink of an eye, saying that it was too late, it was fast, Sun Youyue happened to arrive and used the golden pestle umbrella as a shield with his magic weapon, blocking this fatal blow for the abbot Cihui, but the golden pestle umbrella had lost its aura and could no longer be used. The two of them glanced at each other in the air, and at the same time urged the mantra of the exercises, and the monster seemed to be more excited, and the attack speed became faster and faster, and the changes in it were like ghosts, and the gods were elusive. At this time, the disciples in the temple were also ordered by the elders to recite Buddhist mantras and bless the two.
Two strong lights burst out from the hands of the two masters of Buddhism and Taoism at the same time, forming a huge golden magic net, enveloping the monster in it.
"You are evil, and you still don't subdue the law?" Sun Youyue shouted loudly, loudly.
At this time, everyone thought that the monster had become a trapped beast, and a strange movement in the Ashoka Tower once again attracted the attention of the abbot Cihui, and a cyan light and shadow broke out from the Ashoka Tower, heading straight to the nine skies, and a clear dragon roar sounded between the heavens and the earth.
It turned out to be the soul of the green dragon that was suppressed and imprisoned by the demon egg, and when the monster was the weakest when it was suppressed by the two, he did not hesitate to cut off the dragon's tail, took advantage of the weakness, and after a while of hovering in the sky, he went straight into Hao's belly.
Everyone in the room thought that the woman on the bed had no snort, and they were afraid that it would be more than lucky, but suddenly, a cyan light and shadow flashed, and after a few screams from the woman on the bed, a baby boy like snow and jade was born tenaciously with the golden and cyan light.
The Taoist and the abbot Cihui galloped to the door of the room, and saw a slightly chubby woman holding a baby boy with a happy face, and kept saying hello to a man, and the two couldn't help but be slightly stunned on the spot.
Sun Youyue opened his mouth uncertainly, "Isn't it the soul of the green dragon to recognize the master?" ”
Abbot Cihui clasped his palms together and said, "Amitabha, the world's luck depends on this son." ”
Hearing this, the corners of Sun Youyue's lips rose, and he also came to the excited man to congratulate him. The Tao family added Ding, named Hongjing, is indeed a blessing for the world.
