Chapter 459: Go get the second son back; Guangli Dragon King Bodhisattva
"Congratulations."
When Ao Mo'ang saw Xiao Bailong, he didn't say much else. He went up and gave him a bear hug, then patted Xiao Bailong hard twice on the back and said: "This time I successfully obtained the true scripture. You escaped from Lingshan Mountain again... You really gained a great reputation by following Master Tripitaka."
"From now on, when the Three Realms talk about Xihai Ao Lie, he is also the number one figure."
Ao Moang was very happy that his younger brother had achieved success...even his tense expression in the past was now somewhat relieved.
After all, now that the Dragon Clan is in decline, there are only a handful of descendants of the Dragon Clan in the Four Seas who can carry the banner. Originally, the third prince of the East China Sea, Ao Bing, also had extraordinary qualifications, but it was a pity that he died at the hands of Nezha.
Even if the soul returns to the list of gods, it is still locked at the upper limit. Unless it escapes from the list of gods, there is no prospect at all.
Although Master Tripitaka has proven that the relics can untie the shackles imposed on the soul by the list of gods, no one among the gods in the list wants to imitate them.
Even if the relics can be obtained, the punishment from heaven that will follow will be extremely difficult to survive.
After all, everyone has seen the scene that year. Although the disaster was dispersed due to the intervention of Emperor Xuanyuan and Dayu... But everyone knows very well that if it were not for the intervention of Emperor Xuanyuan and Dayu, how many of the disasters were endured at that time. If a person really had to endure this punishment, it would be difficult for him to escape unscathed.
Master Tripitaka, Erlang Zhenjun, Monkey King, Guanyin Bodhisattva and the Gods of the Thunder Department led by the God of Thunder Universal Transformation... This lineup, no matter where it is placed, can be called luxurious.
To be honest, even the Heavenly Court before becoming a god could not name so many top-notch supernatural powers.
Therefore, the method of using relics to break the calamity was temporarily shelved.
For Ao Bing, who was granted the title of Lord of Huagai Star, this method was even more out of reach for him... After King Zhou escaped from the catastrophe, the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas actually gathered together to discuss the matter.
With the treasures of the Four Seas Dragon Palace, it is not impossible to exchange for a relic.
But that day's punishment...if we don't invite the seniors of the ancient dragon clan hiding in the deep sea, even if the current Four Seas Dragon Clan can fill them all in, there won't be enough to bury them.
And Ao Bing... doesn't have that much dignity to let those old dragons go to sea.
What's more, two dragon leaders have appeared in the West Sea one after another. Even if the Dragon King of the East China Sea goes to invite them, they really don't have any convincing arguments.
He couldn't even use the excuse of "loving his son passionately". After all, among the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas, the one with the most children was the Dragon King of the East China Sea...
The three father and son entered the main hall of the Dragon Palace. Xiao Bailong took out the wedding invitation of the little dragon and sent it to his father and elder brother. He smiled and said: "This is what we agreed upon at the beginning. When we returned to Chang'an and passed by the Heishui River, It's his wedding day... My son came back this time to send out invitations."
After the Dragon King and the eldest prince put away the invitation, Prince Moang asked Xiao Bailong: "I have to confirm something with you as soon as possible."
"What's the matter?" Xiao Bailong looked at his elder brother and said with a smile: "Elder brother, just ask, I will tell you everything I know."
"After all, you masters and disciples made a big fuss in Lingshan, and I heard that Master Tripitaka established the 'Consciousness Only Sect'..." Prince Mo'ang looked quite serious: "In this case, even if you masters and disciples are outside Lingshan,
Are you starting your own business?"
When Xiao Bailong saw that his elder brother was asking about this matter, he immediately became more serious and said very solemnly: "Actually, it's not like establishing an independent sect, it's just a separate sect... Whether it's Lingshan or the Consciousness Only sect, they both belong to the same sect.
Buddhism. The difference is that Lingshan is the main sect of Buddhism."
"I see."
After hearing this, Prince Moang pondered for a moment, and then said: "I won't hide the matter from you now. Back then, Lingshan actually promised us the title of the leader of dragons in the West Sea. I originally thought that this matter would happen to you.
..."
"Is there such a thing?" Xiao Bailong was stunned for a moment, then looked at his father.
"Ahem."
The Dragon King of the West Sea coughed twice and turned his head away, apparently acquiescing to this matter.
In fact, their master and apprentice also discussed this matter when they were on the road, and Xiao Bailong also expected it... However, with Xiao Bailong's current "realm", he would not take this matter to heart.
"But I disappointed my father and elder brother..." Xiao Bailong spread his hands and said: "We follow the master to practice, but it is not for the great achievements of Lingshan..."
"It's nothing." Prince Mo'ang waved his hand, "Actually, we agreed to do this back then because Lingshan is so big. Our West Sea is adjacent to Lingshan... and there are people under the roof."
"Back then, your eldest brother mentioned it to the Bodhisattva, saying that he was willing to enter Buddhism. Unfortunately... the Bodhisattva said that your eldest brother had no connection with Buddhism." The Dragon King of the West Sea still explained, not to let the two brothers misunderstand because of this.
"this..."
You may be a little surprised when you first hear it, but after thinking about it carefully, this is indeed something that the eldest brother can do. It’s just that Xiao Bailong frowned slightly at this moment and said to his father and eldest brother: "I'm afraid that with Buddhism,
It’s just fate but not destiny.”
"Where do you start talking about this?"
Xiao Bailong pointed at the long hair and said: "Since I became a disciple of Master, I have always been a lay disciple, and I can only be regarded as a half-Buddhist disciple... I guess even if I accept the great position and the true fruit, I am afraid that the dragons
The honorable position of the leader is not a child."
As soon as Xiao Bailong's words came out, Ao Moang stood up.
"Where are you going, brother?"
"Go and get the second son back." Ao Mo'ang said in a deep voice: "My father is the Dragon King of the West Sea. He cannot enter Buddhism to be the leader of dragons. And my father has three sons. You and I are not destined to be Buddhists."
Just no points...Then the problem is very simple."
Xiao Bailong really didn't expect that things would develop in such a direction.
"If others say it, that's it. But it is said by the Bodhisattva himself that a leader of dragons will emerge from the Western Sea..." Prince Moang clenched his fist and waved, smiling and said: "This matter should be dealt with by the second brother.
."
"Brother... don't be in a hurry right now." Xiao Bailong stopped his eldest brother and said, "I heard that my second brother ran away from home a long time ago, and my younger brother has never even seen him... Where can my eldest brother look for him now?"
Prince Mo'ang snorted: "He can't escape my trace, I know where he is."
"You know?" The Dragon King of the West Sea stood up immediately, "How come you never said it before?"
"My father never asked his children before."
Dragon King of the West Sea:...
"Where is he?"
"In Luzhou, Beiju."
"Hiss—" the Dragon King of the West Sea took a breath, "He's so brave!"
The Dragon King of the West Sea scolded him, but the look on his face showed worry visible to the naked eye.
Beiju Luzhou is a place where demons gather. It is difficult for ordinary foreign demons to gain a foothold here... If his identity as the second prince of the West Sea is revealed in Beiju Luzhou, it will only make the demons eat more deliciously.
.
But if he can really establish a foothold in Luzhou, Beiju, and even become famous, then... The Dragon King of Xihai suddenly had a thought in his mind: Wouldn't he be one of the three heroes?
"I asked you why you went to Beihai again and again in the past... and I said you were really fighting with the Demon King."
"Father, please don't get me wrong. The main thing is to fight against the Demon King. I'm just taking a look at the second child."
But before the Dragon King of the West Sea could be happy, Xiao Bailong spoke again: "I'm afraid it won't work... If my second brother is in Luzhou, Beiju, he will probably be a murderer, not to mention whether Buddhism will accept him... I'm afraid
My second brother, who is used to little monsters outside, has a hard time accepting the strict rules and precepts of Buddhism."
"Lier'er's words are not unreasonable." The Dragon King of the West Sea also said to Prince Mo'ang: "There is no need to announce this in advance. We will discuss it after Miao Jie's wedding."
"yes."
"Father, eldest brother... I still have to go to a few cousins and third sisters to send invitations, so I'll take my leave now... We'll see you at Heishui River in five days."
The little white dragon is in a hurry, coming and going in a hurry.
"This kid has been following Master Sanzang for more than ten years...why doesn't he look stable at all?" The Dragon King of the West Sea looked at the back of the little white dragon and sighed softly: "I wanted to ask him about this Buddhist scriptures.
It's all over, and he hasn't received the great results from Lingshan, will he be able to come back..."
"I'm afraid it's difficult." Prince Mo'ang shook his head, "You have also met Master Tripitaka, so you naturally know what status Master Tripitaka holds in Third Brother's heart... Let me tell you something that makes you sad. Now in Third Brother's place, your words,
I’m afraid it’s not as effective as Master Tripitaka’s words.”
The Dragon King of the West Sea also recognized what Prince Moang said.
However, "Once a teacher, always a father", it is good for Xiao Bailong to serve his master wholeheartedly... He will not feel bad about it.
The little white dragon left the West Sea and went straight to Lingshan. After all, the fifth cousin was in vain with the Buddha Si Zhong at Lingshan.
The cloud road I took this time didn't stop until I reached the outside of Daleiyin Temple.
The four heavenly kings have returned to their respective heavenly gates to guard the gates. Now the gatekeepers are the two welcoming Arhats... These two welcoming Arhats also have origins. They are the two venerables Anuo and Jiaye who were beside the Buddha.
.
Because of his poor performance in the previous Lingshan Conference, he was punished by the Buddha to be a monk here to welcome guests.
When the two of them saw it was Xiao Bailong... they subconsciously felt scared, but then they caught a glimpse of Xiao Bailong alone. To be precise, they didn't see the figure of the Great Sage, so they breathed a sigh of relief.
The two Arhats clasped their hands together and said: "Amitabha...why did the Bodhisattva come to Lingshan today?"
"Bodhisattva?" Xiao Bailong was stunned for a moment, "Why do you call me Bodhisattva?"
"The demons in Xizhou heard that Lingshan did not receive the righteous fruit of your great mission that day, so they submitted a petition to the Buddha for all demons... The Buddha was grateful for the Bodhisattva's virtue of transforming all demons and doing good, so he issued a decree to promote you to the title of Guangli Dragon King Bodhisattva.
."
"Ah this..."
This incident was unexpected. Xiao Bailong was a little confused for a moment and asked again: "Why didn't I know about this?"
"First of all, it was only decided a short time ago; secondly... the decree has not been spread out yet, but the little demons who came to petition have been informed first."
In fact, with Xiao Bailong's current level of cultivation, it is completely possible to achieve the fruit of Bodhisattva on his own...
"Ao Lie."
Suddenly the voice of Buddha came to Xiao Bailong's ears.
"The disciple is here."
"Come to the Main Hall."
Xiao Bailong made a Buddhist salute to the two Arhats, and then went straight to the Great Leiyin Temple. There were no obstacles along the way, and he met the Buddha in the Great Hall.
"Disciple Ao Lie, you have seen me, Buddha Tathagata."
"No gift."
Xiao Bailong stood upright. When he entered the hall before, he had already glanced around... Compared to the last time when their master and disciples were full of Buddhas, the current Mahavira Hall seemed particularly deserted.
Except for the Buddha at the top and the Guanyin Bodhisattva at the left, there are only eighteen Arhats in the Main Hall.
"Not to mention the group of monsters petitioning for you." Tathagata smiled and said: "You deserve this great position...you deserve it."
"The disciples are terrified."
"You are a disciple of Tripitaka, and Tripitaka founded the Consciousness Only Sect." Seeing the tangled expression on Little White Dragon's face, the Buddha smiled and said, "Although I issued a decree and granted you the title of Bodhisattva, I did not use my own magic power to promote you.
, and after Tripitaka officially establishes the sect, you can realize the true enlightenment by yourself in the consciousness-only sect... There is no need to worry about this."
"Thank you Lord Buddha."
Xiao Bailong breathed a long sigh of relief.
Seeing the little white dragon like this, the Buddha shook his head helplessly...I was afraid that even after Sanzang left the mountain gate, this kid would definitely achieve enlightenment by himself.
The Buddha looked at the compassionate Bodhisattva beside him and said, "Everyone in the world wants to become an immortal and a Buddha, but to their masters and disciples, the true fruit of my great position in Lingshan is like a hot potato."
When the Bodhisattva heard this, he smiled and said: "Tripita and his disciples are certainly different... Besides, what about Bodhisattvas? What about Buddhas? They neither see Nirvana nor can they transcend... On the contrary, they are yet another layer of shackles."
"At this point Tripitaka has seen clearly... Performing Buddhist deeds as a mortal is the real merit... If you continue to worry about whether you can't achieve the right result or become a Buddha, I'm afraid that you have fallen into the lower vehicle and lost your original intention.
."
Bodhisattva is indeed a Bodhisattva.
With these two simple words, even the Buddha was deeply moved after hearing it, and said in his heart: "As a Buddha, how can I sit in this majestic palace? In the journey of the human world, time waits for no one!"
The purpose of Xiao Bailong's visit was naturally hidden from Buddha and Bodhisattva. Without waiting for Xiao Bailong to speak, Bodhisattva pointed out the way to Xiao Bailong and asked him to go to the Bell Tower to find the Futile Dragon.
"Cousin!"
When Xiao Bailong met Fu Fulong, he sent Xiao Taolong's invitation, and then apologized: "Don't blame me, cousin. I went to Lingshan twice before and it's not that I didn't meet my cousin. It's really..."
Fu Fulong couldn't get Xiao Bailong to explain, so he hugged Xiao Bailong and naturally interrupted his words. He smiled and said, "What are you talking about, brothers and sisters? Learning Buddhist scriptures is an important business, how can we neglect it?"
When Xiao Bailong was young, he lived in Jinghe Dragon Palace for a long time, so he had a pretty good relationship with several of his cousins. Now that he saw that his cousins were not blaming him, he smiled and said: "Actually, I have always been
I wanted to find a time to remind my cousin to be careful of my senior brother's Great Sage Thunder Sound, but unfortunately I never had time..."
"Hey!" When Fu Laolong heard the words "Great Sage Thunder Sound", he immediately protected his head and said as if he had been tortured: "Don't mention this, we are still brothers...otherwise
This is the end of our friendship!"
Of course, this was a joke and could not be taken seriously. But it also shows that he definitely suffered a lot that day.
The two brothers chatted about some family matters, and then Xiao Bailong took his leave.
In vain, the dragon went to ask the Buddha for leave in advance.
After leaving Lingshan, Xiao Bailong immediately went to Huai, Ji, Jiang, and Hedu, where he met Xiao Huanglong, Xiao Lilong, Qingbei Long, and Red Bearded Dragon respectively. These four cousins served in Sidu.
, although he is not the Dragon King, he still holds a high position in the Dragon Palace.
After all, the Dragon King of the West Sea is their biological uncle. Even if he becomes the Dragon King of Sidu in the future, it will not be a strange thing.
