The battle between demons and Buddhas ended in a hurry after Shang Rong attained enlightenment, which the gods and gods did not expect.
Except for those with great supernatural powers who have realized the Hunyuan Dao, they know what it means to control the complete Dao without conforming to the Dao.
At this time, everyone seemed to have forgotten that there was an East China Sea Dragon Clan under the World Tree.
Above the human world.
Shang Rong understood the Great Dao and vowed to protect the world unyieldingly. After doing this, he slowly walked down to the world and returned to the World Tree.
He counted the time with his fingers and found that there was still half a day left for enlightenment, so he nodded and said: "There is still some time, I can't waste such an opportunity."
"I am enlightened not for myself, but for the great king, for the country, for the country, and for the people of Great Shang. I must not slack off for a moment."
Say it.
He once again walked towards the place of enlightenment opened for him by the World Tree, casually took out another pen from his arms, and took out the paper and ink he had prepared long ago.
Just as he was about to put pen to paper, Shang Rong suddenly heard a vague voice coming from another enlightenment center not far away.
The sound sounded like a dragon roaring, but also like laughing, but when you listened carefully, you couldn't tell the difference.
I could only faintly hear the voice repeating a sentence.
"A hundred times, a hundred times!"
Shang Rong stopped writing and looked at where the sound came from, but then he smiled slightly and said: "I don't have to worry about the other people. The king once said that we each have our own destiny."
"I'll ask you again after today. But... what does it mean a hundred times? Could it mean enlightenment and enlightenment a hundred times?"
After saying that, Shang Rong smiled, looked away, and picked up the pen again. He wanted to write down all the feelings in his heart.
As long as these words can bring out even one more enlightened person in the human race, then his hard work will be in vain.
…
at the same time.
The place of enlightenment that Shang Rong just looked at.
Ao Jia, the eldest prince of the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea, is wandering in a deep sea of memory.
In that deep sea of memories, every bubble that appears represents a memory.
There is sadness and joy.
There are past lives, there is this life, there are future lives, and there are eternal lives.
Ao Jia went through memory bubbles one after another, looking for a avenue that he could understand. However, after searching for endless memories, he found nothing.
The more this happened, the more anxious he became.
Ao Jia couldn't help but blame himself: "The king has appointed me to enlightenment under the World Tree. This is a great honor. If I get nothing, how can I live up to the opportunity given by the king and the expectations of my clan?"
Among the seven enlightened beings this time, the one least favored by the gods and gods was Li Jing's third son Nezha.
But Ao Jia actually always believed that he was the worst one.
Because of his bohemian temperament, he was known as a prodigal son among the Dragon Clan, which began to become serious and serious due to the Dragon Clan's decline.
When receiving the king's order, Ao Jia himself did not believe that he would be chosen by the king.
At this moment, unable to realize the truth for a long time, Ao Jia couldn't help but think of his father's words before setting off:
"You are naughty and dissolute by nature. If you waste the opportunity given by the king and disgrace our clan, my father will definitely expel you from the East China Sea."
Ao Jia's mouth twitched at the memories in his mind.
But then he shook his head and said: "Your Majesty has appointed me to come to enlightenment, and there must be arrangements. Your Majesty believes in me, how can I not trust you?"
"Father, I am determined to enlighten you and let you know that even if you are dissolute, you can still attain enlightenment!"
this moment.
Ao Jia swept away the haze in his heart and once again strengthened his confidence.
Since your Majesty believes that he can enlighten, then he will definitely be able to enlighten.
Your Majesty always has every plan in mind, and since he has been chosen, he will surely succeed.
Thinking of this, Ao Jia was determined and once again went to the depths of the sea of memory.
Soon, a sudden passage in the deep sea attracted Ao Jia's attention, and he immediately headed there.
Finally, Ao Jia stopped in front of a memory bubble.
The sound of the Tao that is vague but non-existent, but keeps sounding, flows out from this memory.
"A hundred times, a hundred times!"
"When Uncle Dragon turns his head, he scares a cow to death on the roadside; when Uncle Dragon turns his head twice, the ghosts are worried about flying sand and rocks; when Uncle Dragon turns his head three times, the mountains collapse, the ground cracks, and water flows backward; when Uncle Dragon turns his head four times, the King of Demons wants to jump off the building."
"Have you never seen such a handsome dragon?"
"Bend me another five hundred pairs of eyes from the sky so that I can see everything around me!"
"You bastard, these are all good words from Uncle Long. Don't let any rose become sad and fall in ecstasy."
"The sages once said that the movement of heaven is strong, and a gentleman will never cease to strive for self-improvement, and a gentleman will be lustful but not lewd. Men should love fraternity, elephants are invisible, great love is silent, roses wither and flourish, men have responsibilities, devote themselves to death, and die."
Ao Jia stared blankly at the memory in front of him, and couldn't help but longingly said: "Who is this Taoist friend? He is very close to me!"
He didn't think much and just threw himself into that memory.
The world before our eyes is changing rapidly.
Ao Jia found himself merged with the life of a strong man.
In his first life, he was an ancient taboo master who traveled through time and space to fight in the future for the sake of all sentient beings in the world.
However, in order to protect his comrades in the middle of the journey, he seriously injured an enemy more powerful than himself with his dying body, and finally died in a fight with his life.
Although he died, his soul is immortal and his consciousness lasts forever. After thousands of years, his soul reunited and was reincarnated as the Purple and Gold Five Dragons.
After his debut, in order to avenge his beloved Little White Dragon, he went to the Western Land alone and stole the treasures of many Western Divine Dragons. After a fierce battle, he returned to the East, but he was captured by the enemy and wanted to use him as a mount. He was suppressed under the underground palace for countless years and never surrendered.
Ao Jia walked among countless memories, experienced the tribulations of the Purple Gold Dragon again and again, and put away every trace of Taoism in these memories.
The Purple Gold Dragon is full of scorn and never serious. Even when facing a powerful enemy, he can't control his mouth.
"Aww... the sun rises in the east, I am the only one who is undefeated, the Purple Gold God, with boundless magic power, vast supernatural powers, and awe in the world! Aowwow..."
"You dragon, when you are about to die, you will only have a strong mouth."
"Hmph, if Uncle Long doesn't show off his power, do you really think I'm a sick snake?"
Ao Jia and Zijin Shenlong have experienced countless fierce battles and countless lives and deaths. Sometimes he applauds Zijin Shenlong's actions, and sometimes he shares the same hatred with Zijin Shenlong and curses at the enemy.
Facing the final battle of life and death, Ao Jia had already forgotten that what was in front of him was not his own life. He and Zijin Shenlong pointed at the enemy in unison, and then launched a desperate blow.
Finally, the second life ended in the Battle of Futian.
But even so, the Taoist heart still exists forever, and the dragon soul is immortal.
When he was reincarnated in the third life, he once again made fun of the world and the dragon.
finally.
Ao Jia's memory was separated from that of Zijin Shenlong. When he came back to his senses, he found that he was back outside the memory bubble.
Outside of his memory, he looked at the Purple Gold Dragon.
Purple Gold Divine Dragon also looked back at him in his memory.
Subsequently.
Ao Jia and Zijin Shenlong laughed at the same time.
Who says you can't understand the great truth by being dissolute? Who says that if you are stubborn, you are not worthy of your fate?
Ao Jia bowed to the Purple Gold Divine Dragon and said, "Thank you so much, fellow Taoist. I have solved the confusion in my heart and found my own way."
In his memory, Zijin Shenlong seemed to have really heard Ao Jia's thanks. He grinned, revealing his sharp fangs, and his joking laughter sounded once again in the depths of his memory.
"A hundred times, a hundred times!"
Ao Jia laughed and said: "Yes, I also want to learn from fellow Taoists. Now I will steal the treasure of the Western Buddhist Sect a hundred times!"
Say it.
Ao Jia turned around and walked out of the deep sea.
With just one step, he was already back under the World Tree. He crossed his legs under the World Tree and collected all the fragments of the great laws he had comprehended.
The three lives he experienced with Zijin Shenlong flowed before his eyes again bit by bit.
Playing with heaven and earth, playing with dragons and creatures, fighting against heaven and earth for all sentient beings, without regrets for three lifetimes.
The body dies and the Tao is destroyed, but the soul remains. He travels through time and space to fight in the world, but his original intention remains unchanged.
Ao Jia's Taoist heart condensed little by little, and finally turned into a one-word Taoist seal script.
This Dao Dao seal script is full of vitality and high ambition on one side; it is lifeless on the other side, the body is destroyed but the soul is not gone.
Ao Jia opened his eyes and spoke slowly, saying: "Life is death, and death is life. The will is immortal and the soul is immortal. It can last for three generations without changing, and it can also last for tens of thousands of generations without changing."
"It turns out that this is my way, and I finally realized it."
Ao Jia smiled proudly, stood up, and waved his hand to condense the Dao seal script in his heart into his palm.
The energy of life and the intention of death are condensed into one.
Ao Jia carefully looked at the seal script of the Great Dao in his hand and said: "This Dao is not about immortality, but about not changing your original intention even after death. Even if you die ten thousand times, you can live forever. As long as the Dao heart does not die, you can focus! This is the way to rebirth and immortality!" "
Ao Jia suddenly raised his head, and casually photographed this Dao Zhuan Script into his purple night.
Buzz!
A sourceless wind suddenly blew under the World Tree.
In an instant, the purple mist cleared.
Ao Jia transformed into his original dragon body and soared into the sky with a thousand-mile dragon body.
Ao Jia's dragon soars to the nine heavens and declares to the nine heavens and ten earths: "Today, I, Ao Jia, of the East China Sea, have been given the opportunity to realize the Tao by your Majesty's grace. Fortunately, I have finally understood the way to immortality."
"The King is so kind to you, but Ao Jia has nothing to repay. He only wishes to follow the King forever and serve as a weapon in the King's hands. Even if he dies, he will not dare to be true to his original intention, and he will not change this oath even if he lives and dies!"
hold head high!
A dragon roar rang out from under the World Tree, shaking the heavens and the earth, shocking the gods and gods.
Countless eyes looked at Ao Jia, who was flying in his true form as a dragon under the World Tree.
The way to immortality?
Is it the Avenue of Reincarnation?
No, absolutely impossible.
However, before the gods and gods could figure out the origin of the way of rebirth and immortality that Ao Jia had understood.
Ao Jia suddenly turned into a golden light, instantly left the world tree and flew to the west.
All the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in Lingshan suddenly became wary.
The arrival of Yang Jian is not enough.
What does this evil dragon want to do when he comes to the West?
Lingshan, Daleiyin Temple.
The Ancient Buddha of Ran Deng, Medicine Master Tathagata, and Maitreya Buddha all set their sights on Ao Jia at the same time.
The eyes of all the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas also fell on the Grand Prince of the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea who drew a golden light and flew to the west.
】
Maitreya Buddha's eyes were gloomy, and a pair of Buddha's eyes passed through the void and fell on Ao Jia, saying: "The way of rebirth and immortality has never appeared in the three innate tribes, the two Lich tribes and other protagonists in the world. Even the Nirvana of the Phoenix tribe , the life path of Nuwa Empress is also very different..."
"The immortality of the Phoenix Clan is also a kind of external manifestation of the law of life. It is resurrected from the dead at the cost of burning the soul. Every nirvana will consume a lot of real energy..."
"But this evil dragon was reborn stronger after death... How is this possible?"
"Could it be that this is the law of the beast during its calamity?"
If we could find a similar power from the ancient world, the only one would be the immortal beast of resentment.
However, if you want to resonate with the fragments of the laws of heaven and earth and achieve enlightenment, the best way is to directly experience the lives of the predecessors like Yang Jian and others under the World Tree, so as to achieve resonance and enlightenment.
If there is no such method, it can only depend on luck, whether it can resonate with the laws of the great road scattered in the world.
The longer the laws of the Great Dao are scattered in the world, the less they will be known to future generations, and the less they will be known to future generations, the harder it will be to comprehend them.
Because the hundreds of ferocious beasts were transformed by the boundless resentment of the Chaos Gods and Demons, they all possessed great laws. After the ferocious beast tribulation ended, all these great laws were shattered and scattered across the world.
However, time is too long, except for the Tao of the Soul, the Tao of Death, and the Tao of Underworld, which are the great laws that will be understood by races in later generations.
Other great laws were basically forgotten by all races in later generations.
The whole body of the ancient Buddha Ran Deng is as dim as an ingot, and the bright yellow Buddha light flows like water. He holds a measuring ruler and executes the past three lives. At this moment, he traverses the long river of time and space and the eternal cause and effect.
After a long time, the ancient Buddha of Ran Deng opened his eyes slightly and said: "However, I can't see a trace of cause and effect on Ao Jia pointing to the ancient times. Could it be that it is also a way from outside the territory?"
The glazed pure land behind Medicine Master Tathagata was flickering endlessly. Among the celebrating clouds above his head, the Immortal Yao Grass swayed slightly and he said: "The laws of the Great Dao carried by fierce beasts are often ferocious and violent, and can disrupt cause and effect. Perhaps the same is true for the Law of Rebirth and Immortality."
Maitreya Buddha nodded and said: "This evil dragon is coming to the West now. He must be trying to help Yang Jian make waves in the West and stop his journey to the West. He must not be able to succeed in this matter."
Medicine Master Tathagata and Randen Ancient Buddha were about to nod, thinking that what Maitreya Buddha said was very true, but at this moment, the expressions of the three Buddhas changed slightly at the same time, and they all looked away from the Lingshan Mountain.
at this time.
Ao Jia's breath suddenly disappeared.
Just at that moment.
Ao Jia, who flew from the foot of the World Tree to the West, suddenly lost his breath, and the entire dragon body instantly disappeared from the sight of the gods and gods, as if it had never appeared before.
The three Buddhas calculated at the same time to find out where Ao Jia was going.
Medicine Master Tathagata didn't care.
It's just a dragon, so what if he understands the laws of the great avenue?
It's not the path of cause and effect, destiny, etc. Do you really think you can hide your aura in the Western Land?
However, after the three Buddhas jointly performed the deduction, they were all stunned, with shock in their eyes.
Maitreya Buddha frowned and said: "What's going on? Ao Jia's cause and effect is no longer there? It's not just as simple as chaos, but it has completely disappeared in the nine heavens and ten places..."
The inferring movements of the Randen Ancient Buddha stopped, and he cut open a piece of void, revealing a large network of cause and effect, and in this network, there was only one name left for the one representing Ao Jia...
Beyond this name, there is no beginning or end, no antecedent, and no consequence.
The Ran Deng Ancient Buddha couldn't help but reveal a solemn look on his face and said: "Ao Jia's cause and effect are chaotic, as if he has completely perished."
The three Buddhas looked at each other.
Did Ao Jia crash and die on Kunlun Mountain when he came to the West?
How can this be?
…
The Buddhas in Lingshan were shocked.
The Kingdom of Gaia.
A noble-looking young man in a white robe was walking onto the street.
The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, it was Ao Jia.
But at this moment, even if the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas of Lingshan saw him, they would not recognize him as Ao Jia, the Grand Prince of the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea.
Ao Jia raised his head and glanced in the direction of Lingshan, then looked at the temple in the center of the Earth Goddess Kingdom, then raised his head and said with a smile: "Understand the law of rebirth and immortality. If the heart is immortal, death will also lead to life. Every time you are reborn, cause and effect will be wiped out. .You want to find this dragon through cause and effect? Haha, what a beautiful idea!"
He shook his robes, his eyes flashed, the corners of his mouth raised, and he walked straight in one direction, where was the treasure house of the Kingdom of Gaia.
The treasure house is full of people's treasures and anointing collected from believers, as well as heavenly materials and earthly treasures that the magic soldiers and generals have found throughout the Western Land, and even some Buddhist magic weapons.
Every divine kingdom will put these things in their treasury and then offer them to the Lingshan Mountain on a regular basis.
Ao Jia came to Xitu not to join forces with Yang Jian to attack Lingshan and the Kingdom of Gods. He came to fulfill the promise he made when he became enlightened.
I want to steal the various divine kingdoms in the Western Lands a hundred times.
Ao Jia strode towards the treasure house of the Kingdom of God. With every step he took, the aura on his body shrank by one point. After ten steps, the surrounding divine soldiers, generals, and mortal Buddhists could no longer see him.
He walked on the street without being noticed by anyone.
Dragon can be big or small, it can rise or hide; if it is big, it can stir up clouds and spit out mist, while if it is small, it can hide and hide its form.
The dragon clan is the clan that is best at hiding itself among the three innate clans.
What's more, he can also use his understanding of the law of rebirth and immortality to disrupt his own cause and effect, making it impossible to detect it with ordinary means.
Ao Jia's eyebrows were raised as he walked swaggeringly into the treasure house of the Earth Goddess Kingdom surrounded by divine generals.
He chuckled.
At this time, Buddhism only had eyes for the Demonic Sect, and it was completely unimaginable that he came here to steal the treasure.
All restrictions on these divine treasures are only aimed at the revolutionary army among the mortals in the West.
How can we stop him?
He easily passed through the thirty-three restrictions in the treasure house and pocketed all the gold and silver objects, heavenly materials, earthly treasures, and several magic weapons in the treasure house.
Even the two gilded doors of the treasure house were removed.
After doing all this, Ao Jia patted the dragon's claw with satisfaction, looked at the portrait of Buddha on the wall, smiled wickedly, lifted up his clothes and wrote a line of eloquent words on the wall.
"Guangchengzi is here for a visit."
Buddhism would never think that the mortal revolutionary army in the West could break into the treasure house of the Kingdom of God.
A few days later.
When a god put the treasure he had just collected into the treasure house, screams rang out in the Western Land.
The Earth Goddess finally discovered that her treasure house had been emptied.
at this time……
In the empty treasure house of the Kingdom of Odin, the words written by Ao Jiazi have grown from the second generation to the third generation.
Exactly: "Tu Xingsun is here for a visit."
this moment.
The roar of the gods resounded in the Western Land.
The roar went straight to Yu Qingtian.
Yuan Shi frowned and looked at Xi Tu.
Guangchengzi couldn't help but sneeze.
Tu Xingsun shivered inexplicably.
The twelve golden immortals all frowned.
What these idiots like Xi Tu did was like stealing his family's treasure house.
