Chapter Ninety-Four: How to Avoid the Three Calamities
With the addition of the national teacher Wang Bodhisattva, Ao Ming's grasp of dealing with Wu Zhiqi has successfully increased to more than eighty percent, as long as it is steady and steady, and there are no more accidents halfway, it will definitely be a win. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
But everything must be done in a hurry, at least before the Jade Emperor changes his deployment and responds, he must take Huaishui with a thunderous momentum. After all, it is not easy for the Jade Emperor to cultivate a few henchmen, especially someone like Wu Zhiqi who is capable and maintains a mysterious origin, it is even rarer.
Therefore, it is impossible for the Jade Emperor to watch others pull out his deeply buried chess pieces, and once he notices it, it will inevitably set off a more powerful retaliation.
After Ao Ming and the national teacher Wang Bodhisattva discussed some details, they also prepared to go, since they decided to move their temples to the shore of Huaishui, the two basically belonged to grasshoppers on a rope, and there was no way out.
Ao Ming needless to say, he has no choice, even if Wu Zhiqi doesn't come to him, he will have to go to Huaishui sooner or later. And the national teacher Wang Bodhisattva has been accumulating strength in the Southern Ganbu Continent for a long time, in order to one day be able to spread his incense to the Dongsheng Divine Continent, but any opportunity is a challenge, and any choice is also with the nature of gambling, and he must go all out, otherwise who knows if the next opportunity will be in a few years, or decades, hundreds of years?
When I returned to the Water Temple, I saw Yuan Zhi and Fubo surrounding a fire pot, pointing there.
Seeing Ao Ming coming, the two came over to salute again.
"What are you doing here?" Ao Ming asked.
Yuan Zhi replied: "The horizontal male fish caught by the king finally removed the scales and picked the thorns, but it turned out that it couldn't be cooked in a jar, and the two of us were worried!"
"Is there really such a thing?" Ao Ming also went to the jar to look at it, only to see that the fire boiled the water in the jar, but the Henggong fish still seemed to be alive in it, and there was no change at all.
Ao Ming also felt very amazing about this, I thought that the fish had been slaughtered, and even if they were killed, there should be no "boiling without death". I didn't expect that this nature is nature, and even if I die, it won't change anything.
"Don't you have anything to do? Since it is said that eating can get rid of evil diseases, it means that this fish still has a way to cook it, think about it, have you ever heard of any methods!"
Yuan Zhi said: "Maybe it's just that the power of this mortal fire is not enough, why don't you get a few fire talismans to try?"
Ao Ming thought about it for a while, so he pinched the spell to attract the power of the fire spirit, but the result was completely unchanged. Because although the fire is powerful, this water is still ordinary water, and it boils when it reaches the temperature, and it has no effect on the cross-smelt at all.
Fubo approached at this time and said, "King, I have heard of a method, don't scold me!"
Ao Ming turned his head and asked, "What is the way to say it, why should I scold you?"
"Because the method is a story I heard from a mortal old man, so-" Fubo looked at Ao Ming with a smile on his face, how much of the legendary things in mortal stories can be believed to be true?
But the stories are all chasing after the wind, and there are still some shadows there, and the story can be used as a reference if it is not credible. Ao Ming said: "Let's tell me, how is the story told?"
Fubo glanced at Yuan Zhi and said with a smile: "The story says that once upon a time, there was a thousand-year-old turtle that was caught by a fisherman while swimming in the river, and he happily brought it back to his home. ”
As Fu Bo was talking, Yuan Zhi couldn't help but sneer when he heard this, "The turtle essence that has been thousands of years old has been caught by ordinary people?
Looking at the vindictiveness of the two of them, Ao Ming also smiled, "Let's let Fubo finish telling the story, don't take the story seriously!"
"This old turtle was caught by the fisherman, just like this cross-fish, the fisherman can't kill it, and it can't be boiled, and it has been tossed for half a month. Seeing that there was nothing he could do with it, the fisherman thought that he would simply find an opportunity to release the turtle, but one night, the fisherman was sleeping in a daze. Suddenly, I heard someone talking in my yard, and I thought that a robber had entered the door, so I put on my clothes and leaned on the window to eavesdrop. I didn't know that it was the turtle and the elm tree that were kept in the big tank in the yard, and the elm tree couldn't be hugged by two or three people, and I don't know how old it was, but it was able to speak.
I only heard the elm tree say first: 'Old turtle, you mortal mortal who eats the body of flesh and fits lightly, prolongs life, and eliminates all diseases, but unfortunately the owner of this house is not blessed!'
The tortoise replied, 'That is nature, my belly and back are full of armor, and I do not want to hurt my sword, nor do I want to hurt my fire.' ’
And the elm tree said, 'Don't be too happy, for if you cut me down for wood and add two black plums to the soup, you will be boiled until you are flesh and bone!'
The fisherman listened to all the words they said, and the next morning the fisherman cut down the elm tree, and found two new summer black plums, and stewed the turtle to eat!"
After hearing this, Yuan Zhi immediately said: "I'm afraid what you said is the origin of 'elm head', what does it have to do with stewed smelt?"
This is a story of bragging, exposing shortcomings, and in the end, both sides are lost, and the fisherman profits. But there is no good way at the moment, so Ao Ming said: "Fubo, just look for what you said, go and find out if there are any old trees and black plums in the vicinity, and try it according to this method." ”
Fu Bo's eyes widened: "King, you also believe this mortal braggadocio story!"
"If you don't believe it now, you can't help it, and the crossfish is not a sea bass or a carp, you can find it if you look for it. If it is broken, it will be a big loss, and now that there is a method that can be used, I must give it a try. If you can succeed, you will serve Shen Yi to drink the fish soup and see if you can cure the evil qi on the snake soul!" "The snake originally had a very heavy evil nature and greed, but after the blessing of Luo Jia Divine Bead, it was induced by Shen Yi to explode in the ghost city. This moment, with her own heart and cultivation, it is not enough to suppress it, Ao Ming can only use coercive means to make Shen Yi and the snake soul go into hibernation, if Henggong Fish Soup can really suppress the evil nature of the snake soul, and take the opportunity to let Shen Yi slowly improve his cultivation, everything will have a solution.
After handing over all the big and small things in the lake to Yuan Zhi and Fubo, it was time for him to embark on the second journey north.
The first time I went to Mount Tai, passing through Huaishui, he still had a general understanding of the situation there. The first time Wu Zhiqi's decision was to avoid it, but this time it was the opposite, facing the difficulties.
He and the national teacher Wang Bodhisattva have also discussed the basic division of labor, and he really wants to take action to do Wu Zhiqi, but as a Buddhist sect to meddle in the affairs of the eastern land, there must be a suitable and fair reason. And what Ao Ming has to do is to help the national teacher Wang Bodhisattva achieve this condition, so that he can smoothly intervene in the battle of Huaishui.
To be honest, Ao Ming originally wanted to solve Wu Zhiqi by himself, just like he thought when he had the opportunity to kill the scholar but didn't make a move. Some things must be done by oneself and with one's own hands in order to be meaningful and have no regrets. However, time waits for no one, and some strange reasons prompted him and Wu Zhiqi to meet in advance.
Of course, Ao Ming didn't know that it was the national teacher Wang Bodhisattva who prompted him to fight Wu Zhiqi in advance, and the national teacher Wang Bodhisattva didn't know that Wu Zhiqi was the person who Tai Bai Xing found to test Ao Ming, but the most depressed one was Tai Bai Xing, and he would definitely scold this old monk who rebelled to death.
Taking advantage of the way, Ao Ming went to the Yangtze River to see Ao Qian again, because Huaishui was involved in his biological father, his son.
Although it was the Heavenly Court and the Jade Emperor who wanted to destroy the Dragon Clan, Wu Zhiqi, as a direct participant, was bound to pay a price.
Ao Ming said to Ao Qian's back: "Grandpa, I'm going to get Huaishui back!"
"Okay, wow! I've wanted to go many times, but I've never been able to take that step!" Ao Qian turned around, and there was a little wetness in his cloudy eyes, "I thought you would have ten or twenty years, but I didn't expect you to do it so quickly, you did much better than I expected!"
"It's just a matter of strength, and it's not my real ability!" Ao Ming said.
"It is right to borrow the momentum and borrow the strength, and it is the most stupid act to try to fight the world with the power of one person, how powerful was the dragon clan back then, and it did not end up in such a miserable situation now?
Suddenly, Ao Qian sighed again and said, "It's a pity that grandpa's time is running out, and he can't provide you with any help!"
Ao Ming was shocked when he heard this: "Isn't it possible to achieve immortality with grandpa's Taoism?"
"Immortality?" Ao Qian smiled lightly: "There is only longevity in this world, and there is no real eternal life, so let me tell you some secrets on the path of cultivation again." You should have heard of the so-called three calamities, after Dancheng, the ghosts and gods are intolerable. After 500 years, thunder and disasters will rob you, and after 500 years, yin and fire will burn you, and another 500 years will rain and rain and blow you. Although we are talking about three calamities, we are not referring to three calamities, and the storm calamity is followed by thunderstorms, and so on and so on, endlessly.
The dragon clan is strong in the flesh, and the dragon soul is strong and can also resist the three calamities, if other races can survive the thunder tribulation, it is already a blessing, as for the wind and fire two calamities, you don't have to think about it, you must not be able to pass.
But there are also strange people among the hundred tribes, such as a queen mother in West Kunlun, who planted a peach that could avoid the three disasters. However, there is also a problem with this peach, that is, how many peaches you have to eat after the first few disasters, so those immortals in the heavenly court are all eager to save one more. There is also the Taishang Laojun who is alchemizing, he has an elixir called the Nine Turns Golden Pill, one pill can withstand nine calamities, so the effect is much greater than that of the peach. ”
Ao Ming understood a lot of things when he heard this, no wonder there are so many peaches or not enough, although eating peaches for the first time is equivalent to prolonging life for 500 years. But next time you have to eat two to prolong your life for five hundred years, if you think about it, the Jade Emperor has already experienced 1,750 calamities, which means that he needs to eat 1,751 peaches when the next calamity comes.
In this way, there are so many old immortals in this heavenly court, although there are many peaches, they can't stand eating too much. Especially like the Jade Emperor, he eats peaches every day until he vomits, how much he wants to get some nine-turn golden pills to eat, after all, it is a good thing to eat nine grains. So when he was making trouble in the Heavenly Palace, he heard that Sun Wukong had stolen the golden pill prepared for him by Taishang Laojun, and he was terrified.
"Grandpa, why don't I find a way to get some peaches, nine turns of gold pills or something, and find a way to extend my grandfather's life?"
Ao Qian shook his head affirmatively and said: "Grandpa, I don't rely on eating these things in my life, and it is even more impossible for me to eat this now, the reason why I say this to you is that I hope you can survive the three disasters with your own ability as much as possible." If you take a shortcut for the first time, you will never have a chance to do it again in the future, so either you will control the golden pill and the peach yourself, or you will never rely on the golden pill and the peach, otherwise, your life will only be manipulated by others!"
Ao Ming nodded heavily, and didn't mention anything about finding Jin Dan and Pan Tao anymore, with Ao Qian's arrogance, it was impossible to hand over his fate to Heavenly Court and Taishang Laojun to control. Life is life, death is death, no fear of life and death!
Of course, Ao Qian did not say another important reason, that is, when there is only one true dragon between heaven and earth, Ao Ming's identity and status will become completely different, and he will become relied on by all parties from the current walking on thin ice. From extremely dangerous to extremely safe, because except for the Heavenly Court that controls the pseudo-dragon clan of the four seas, no one wants to see the true dragon extinct.
Seeing Ao Ming's growth, for Ao Ming's future safety, Ao Qian was bound to send himself to the void land beyond the nine heavens.
"Grandpa, how long can you stay with me?" Somehow, Ao Ming felt panic in his heart, and a sense of reluctance arose. He didn't see Ao Gan much, maybe out of a kind of estrangement, or out of a kind of guilt, but I don't know when Ao Gan had already become his only relative.
Seeing this, Ao Gan laughed and said: "What kind of posture do you make as a little daughter, no matter how you say that grandpa can still last a few years, come! Let me teach you a set of boxing techniques!"
Ao Gan had almost no guidance to Ao Ming, especially on the path of cultivation, and he relied on his own choice to comprehend, and today was the first time that he offered to teach him something.
Ao Ming put away Qi Rong, and saw Ao Qian standing proudly in the center of the Yangtze River, holding his hands together, the wind and clouds were surging, and the river was rushing and roaring with his somewhat emaciated body.
The fists waved with him, drawing inexplicable traces of the Dao, but the entire Yangtze River seemed to come to life, and every tremor from the fist to the muscles and bones seemed to contain the Yangtze River's breath and breath, the waves rolled, and the Yangtze River was like a dragon!
Another few punches came out one after another, which looked unremarkable, but Ao Ming keenly felt that no matter the sky and white clouds above his head, the pervasive breeze around him, and the Yangtze River under his feet, they seemed to be dancing with joy.
Heaven and earth, self, strength, Ao Ming seems to have caught something, but when he thinks about it, he still finds nothing.
But Ao Gan turned back to the boat, as before, and said, "You should go too, don't think too much about it now!" (To be continued.) )
