No wonder I felt that something was wrong as soon as I entered the village, and something big was going to happen. This big thing was not about my fourth aunt at all, but something about the dragon!!
Thinking about it, I carefully savored the words that I didn't seem to understand before. I stepped directly into the car, wiped the rain off my face, and raised my finger to point to the left hand direction that I felt in the afternoon:
"Uncle! Isn't it the Hetao Village that way? Does the "Xunlong" you mentioned before mean that the dragon is about to leave the Hetao Village?"
The old Chou looked at me but nodded and smiled: "Beautiful, born with yin and yang, she really deserves her reputation."
How could I still be in the mood to listen to him praising me? I started the car directly and said, "Uncle, let's go now. Walking away is a big deal!"
"Not urgent."
The old Chou looked at me and slowly opened his mouth: "If you didn't go, this dragon wouldn't be able to get here."
I turned back to look at him: "Uncle, does this... have something to do with me?"
Lao Chou nodded: "In recent years, I have come out during the flood season. Firstly, it is to have the opportunity to see the dragon's body. Secondly, it is also to remind the villagers along the way to be careful when the dragon is passing through the tribulation, to prevent the dragon from crossing and causing long waves.
Three feet, hurting innocent people, but now that I have seen you, I know that I will not have to come out in the next few years. If this dragon can survive this disaster, everything should be peaceful in the next three to five years."
I frowned. I was confused by what the old man said. I couldn’t understand it at all!
"Uncle, I don't understand what you mean. What does this dragon have to do with me?"
The old man breathed out softly and looked at me: "What's your name?"
"Jiaolong."
The old man raised his lips and said, "Do you know what a walking dragon is?"
I remember hearing someone say it when I was a kid, but when I think about it carefully, I can’t seem to remember exactly what I heard someone say at that time. I have never encountered a dragon in my life, but this time I
It’s not surprising that I can calculate it myself and say it with absolute certainty, which means that the person in the dream taught me this, and this is not the first time I have experienced this magical experience——
But the moment I confirmed the answer to this thunderstorm, I actually felt a special excitement in my body. This was the first time. Could it be that my excitement was because the walking dragon had something to do with me?!
Thinking about it, I looked at my cousin, and the concept of "walking the dragon" vaguely emerged in my mind: "Zoujiao means that the dragon who has been cultivating in the deep mountains, canyons and pools for thousands of years will achieve enlightenment and overcome the tribulations and become a true dragon. When the path is deep, he will become a true dragon.
They will swim along the river to the sea, or when the time is right, they will jump across the Dragon Gate into the sky. They will be struck by lightning and floods along the way. The Dragon Gate is the last bridge along the way. When crossing the bridge, the water must overflow the bridge deck, so
When a bridge is being built, most people will set up a dragon-slaying knife at the bottom of the underwater bridge to prevent the dragon from crossing the bridge. The blade is extremely sharp and protects against the dragon but not people. As long as the dragon swims by, it will be split into two halves.
Died in the river, and the reason for doing this is because no one can know which bridge is the 'Dragon Gate' that the dragon will cross last. There are too many bridges it has to cross along the way. If it is the 'Dragon Gate', then
It would be fine if it crossed Jackie Chan and became a god, but if not, the three huge waves brought by the dragon after swimming would destroy the houses beside the river, destroy the fertile fields along the way, and even kill innocent creatures. Therefore, the ancients built bridges
When setting up a dragon-slaying knife, the first thing to guard against is the wandering dragon..."
As I said that, I took a slight breath and watched the old man continue to open his mouth and said: "Therefore, the dragon can only wait for the flood to reach the bridge and swim across it, but it cannot raise its head when walking on the bridge, otherwise it will be struck by lightning.
If you die, thousands of years of practice will be destroyed in one day. It is difficult to get under the bridge, but it is even more difficult to get on the bridge. Therefore, if the dragon wants to overcome the tribulation and become a real dragon, it will be really difficult to walk up to the sky!"
Most old people know this. Rumors about dragons have always been common in the south. Now I can find a bunch of photos on the Internet that look like dragons being struck by lightning. Regardless of whether the photos are true or false, I always feel awkward when I see them.
The old Chou nodded, looked at me and continued to ask questions unhurriedly: "Then tell me, is it a good thing or a bad thing to walk around with dragons?"
I opened my mouth and said, "Jiaolong has been cultivating for thousands of years. He has done a lot of good things by being able to attain Taoism. However, if he goes all the way, he has to stir up huge waves. No matter how careful he is, he will harm innocent creatures. This is a bad thing."
As I said that, I looked at Lao Chou and seemed to think of something, and opened my mouth helplessly: "Uncle, does God also think that dragons are evil, so he uses thunder and tribulation to prevent aliens from cultivating?"
I have never thought that dragons are evil. This may have something to do with my name being Jiaolong. In other words, I always feel that my life is related to the dragon statue. But people often say that evil dragons, especially farmers, are responsible for causing floods.
Jiaolong gnashes his teeth with hatred and hates others. Why is it so difficult to become a real dragon?
The old man was a little displeased after hearing what I said: "Nonsense, there is nothing wrong with being a stranger to attain enlightenment. If I'm not wrong, you are followed by three great immortals, Hu and Huangchang. Isn't this the best example of attaining enlightenment? You
We must remember that the highest state of Tao is selflessness. Things are no different from me. We all go through reincarnation. We are human in this life, but we don’t know why in the next life. How can we have this human body in every life?"
"So there is no distinction between aliens and humans. The thunder and lightning along the road are because the dragon swims out of the extremely yin place. Before it becomes a true dragon, it can be said that its body is completely yin. The yin and yang are in opposition, which will naturally attract the yang energy of thunder and lightning.
, the pain here is self-evident. If you can survive it, you will turn yin into yang and achieve the positive result and leap into a real dragon. If you cannot survive it, the thousands of years of practice will be destroyed. How can we imagine the difficulties and obstacles involved?
?So, over the years, there have been very few dragons that can cross the water and transform into true dragons. Don’t talk about thunder tribulations. People have to go through hardships to achieve enlightenment, let alone spiritual bodies. Remember, all things are
There is no distinction between you and me. If you want to stand at the highest point, you will go through hardships that are unimaginable."
I stared blankly at Lao Chou, feeling that his words seemed to pull me out of the trap of life and death in an instant. Yes, the dragon is not wrong. It has practiced for thousands of years just to cross the water and transform into a real dragon. God saw it
After it has endured thousands of years of suffering, how could I deliberately inflict thunder and calamity to bring it back to its original shape? It’s because I think about the world and the people in a narrow way, or in other words, my thinking is still limited to an inherent thought.
, everything is very straightforward to distinguish good from bad based on the surface. Looking at Lao Chou, I sincerely admired him: "What the uncle said, Jiaolong learned from it."
Lao Chou raised his eyes and looked at me: "You still have a long way to go. I just want to tell you that all living beings are born with difficulty. You must have a little kindness towards the truly enlightened souls. After all, the cultivation process is complicated, and there are many years of hot summer and cold winter."
To be able to attain the Tao, you must pay a price. As long as your nature is not evil, you must leave it a way to survive."
I nodded. The fairy in me had also done this before. The big snake wanted to take a shortcut to practice Buddhism. Although it was evil, in the end it was only relegated to a prototype, which left a way to survive: "I have been taught."
." As I said that, I frowned thinking about Lao Chou's words: "Uncle, but the dragon you mentioned is related to me, but Jiaolong didn't understand what it meant."
Lao Chou breathed out softly: "You will know it when you go to Hetao Village. It can also be said that it is you and the dragon who are going to overcome the tribulation this time. If this dragon can leap into the sky and overcome the tribulation and become a dragon, then you will naturally
You will become famous all over the world when you become successful, but if you can't survive it, even if you are born with yin and yang, you will continue to suffer in this worldly calamity for several years."
I don’t understand: “Uncle, why can that dragon represent me?”
"Because both you and it need to overcome the tribulation, and the yin energy supports each other. It can also be said that it is looking for energy to come out. If you don't go, then it can't get past the 'dragon gate'. It seems that it is helping you."
, and you are also helping it."
"Then how can I help?"
I really think this matter is a bit complicated. I haven't lived here since I was a child, so how can I be related to this dragon?
"As I said before, if you go to Hetao Village tomorrow, with your talent and intelligence, you will naturally understand." (To be continued)
