[Lotus Lantern] Promise with one's body

Yang Jian's boat was extremely stable, Ao Cunxin and Kui Jie traveled through the River of Forgetfulness, and after three journeys, they finally left the underworld.

After getting off the boat, Ao Cunxin hesitated for a while, then raised his head and said to Yang Jian: "Zhenjun, I still have something to trouble you." Ao Cunxin laughed at herself after finishing speaking, "It seems that I have said it many times. That's it."

"Third Princess, please tell me something."

"We just asked Zhuanlun Wang to help find out Yuan Shoucheng's reincarnation, but we didn't expect that there was no record of this person after searching all the files. Zhuanlun Wang said that he probably jumped out of the three realms and is not in the five elements, so I would like to ask you to use the eyes of the sky to investigate the three realms. Help me find Yuan Shoucheng."

"Don't worry, I'll check it out for you first." Yang Jian jumped into the air as he spoke, and the sky eye appeared on his forehead, shining with golden light.Yang Jian's body rotated in the air, searching the three realms.The sky eye can see all the confusion and obstacles in the world and distinguish the truth of all things.

"There is no such person in the world." Yang Jian said as he fell to the ground.

"How is it possible?" Xiao Qilong asked anxiously.

"Maybe this person's magic is higher than that of the real king." Ao Cunxin thought.

"Jumping out of the three realms, not in the five elements... When you say that, I think of a person." Yang Jian pondered for a moment and said: "During the Battle of the Conferred Gods, Lu Yadaojun who saved us many times in times of crisis is the origin. A person who has become a fan. He also jumped out of the three realms and is not in the five elements. My masters and others don’t recognize him, and he is not a person who intercepts the teaching. He comes and goes without a trace, and no one knows the origin of his master.”

About the Battle of Conferred Gods, Ao Cunxin also heard some talk from Yang Jian and the Six Sages of Meishan in the Yang Mansion.Now when I heard him mention it again, I suddenly remembered that there was such a Sanxian who was above the Twelve Golden Immortals of Kunlun in that battle.

If Yuan Shoucheng is really as mysterious and unfathomable as Lu Ya Daojun, then there is really nowhere to be found in the vast sea of ​​people.

"At the beginning, he set up a fortune-telling stall in Chang'an City, and every hexagram was accurate. I once heard the people in Chang'an City say that Yuan Tiangang is his nephew." Xiao Qilong thought for a while and said.

Yuan Tiangang was a well-known geomancy master in the early Tang Dynasty, and he was famous all over the world. He and his apprentice Li Chunfeng co-authored "Tui Bei Tu", which deduces the major events that happened in China in the 2000 years since the Tang Dynasty.

"It seems that he also has a clan and family." Ao Cunxin guessed.

"Maybe it's just a pseudonym for the convenience of walking in the world."

"But Guanyin Bodhisattva let us find Yuan Shoucheng, but what is the cause and effect?"

Seeing that Ao Cunxin and Xiao Nilong seemed to be at an impasse over this matter, Yang Jian couldn't help saying: "Guanyin Bodhisattva was once one of the twelve golden immortals under Yuanshi Tianzun, a person of Cihang Taoism, and later entered Buddhism through Taoism. Since she said so , there must be a deep meaning in it.”

After the Battle of the Conferred Gods, the Judgment was defeated, and Laojun went west to Hangu Pass to turn Hu into a Buddha. Later, many disciples of Taoism devoted themselves to Buddhism, and several of the Twelve Golden Immortals finally became Buddhas.

"But the problem is that there is no news of Yuan Shoucheng, or there is no such person in the world?" He Jie sneered, "Then my father's death is too unjust. There is no justice in this world." ?”

"It is said that heavenly secrets should not be leaked, but he did not incur punishment from heaven for revealing secrets. The "Tui Bei Tu" written by his nephew and his disciples also leaked secrets, and he did not receive punishment from heaven. Could it be that the Yuan family is behind the jade A person from the Qing Palace?" At this point, Mo Jie revealed a look of sudden realization.

Yuqing Palace is the residence of the Jade Emperor, and the meaning of the words of the Yujie is to accuse the Jade Emperor of being unfair.

"Stop talking." Ao Cunxin said to him, turning her head to the side.Mo Jie snorted coldly, her expression worried.

"Since even the eyes of the sky can't find this person, I'm afraid this person's spells are unfathomable, beyond the reach of you and me. Now we have no choice but to go back first." Ao Cunxin said for a while. Liao Dun said to Yang Jian: "Thank you, Zhenjun, for your help. In the future, if we need us in Xihai, Zhenjun just ask."

Speaking of her being blessed, Yang Jian saw that she was so polite, so he just said lightly: "The third princess does not need to thank you, for Yang Jian, it is nothing more than a little effort."

Ao Cunxin walked away side by side with Jie Jie, far away, Yang Jian seemed to hear the sentence from the wind, "Yang Jian is now the official of the Heavenly Court, so there is no need to say that the Heavenly Court is not in front of him."

Long Nu said this very lightly, but Yang Jian still heard it.

After all, Ao Cunxin is still the sophisticated Ao Cunxin. After all these years, she has not changed.

————————————————————————————————————————

Ao Cunxin didn't expect to meet her third brother when she returned to Xihai.

"Third brother!" She threw herself into his arms.Xiao Bailong still looked like a boy from a family dressed in white in the past, when he saw his younger sister he rushed towards him and hurriedly stretched out his arms to hug her.

At this time, the two had only been separated for ten years, but Ao Cunxin experienced another thousand years in the mirror, and felt that the last time he saw him was really a long, long time ago.

When Ni Jie met Xiao Bailong, she was not as affectionate as Ao Cunxin.He only lowered his head and called out: "Third brother."

"Third brother, why did you go back to Xihai today?" Ao Cunxin raised her head from Aoyu's chest and asked curiously.

"The Buddha taught scriptures on Lingshan, and the carp in the pond became spiritual after listening to it for a long time. I fled to Lingshan privately. I followed the Buddha's order to arrest him. After passing through the West Sea, I came back to meet my father, queen, and queen."

"Third brother, you came just in time. I have something to ask."

"what's up?"

"The Taoist Priest Yuan Shoucheng who framed my uncle and I went to the underworld to find out his past and future lives. I asked Yang Jian to search the three worlds, but he couldn't find him. Tell me, what should I do?"

"Cun Xin, in front of the Three Realms, Four Seas and Four Continents, we are really insignificant. In some things, we just do our best to be worthy of our hearts, and we cannot be forced."

"Third brother, what are you talking about? Could it be that Cun Xin and I have spent so much effort to do all this, just for the result of resigning ourselves to fate?" He Jie asked back.

Ao Cunxin didn't interrupt Xiao Naolong this time, but just looked at Aoyu without blinking, hoping he could give a satisfactory answer.

"I'm not trying to stop you from doing anything. It's a blessing for the Ao clan to have a daughter with such integrity like you." Ao Yu stroked her heart and said.

"Third brother!" Ao Cunxin yelled.

"Okay, I have important things to do, so it's inconvenient to stay in the Dragon Palace for a long time. Be careful yourself, don't try to be brave." Ao Yu let go of Ao Cunxin, nodded at Nao Jie, and turned into a dragon. to the West Sea.

Ao Cunxin and Yu Jie looked up at the direction where he disappeared, Jiujiu just looked at each other.

"Third brother, he is a little strange today." Mo Jie said while rubbing her chin.

"You also found out?" Ao Cunxin asked back.

"Also... so it seems that you are also suspicious."

"Naturally. I came out of the same egg as him, and I still don't understand him? Today he was probably trying to tell me something, but for some reason, he just said these specious things."

"One thing is certain, I'm afraid it has a lot to do with Yuan Shoucheng."

"Where is this sacred? The underworld couldn't find it, Yang Jian couldn't find it with his eyes, and the third brother hesitated to speak." Ao Cunxin said, suddenly his mind moved.

"Others don't know, but I know there is one person who must know."

"Who?"

"Sea witch." Ao Cunxin said firmly.

"You still want to find her?" Mo Jie raised her eyebrows.

"Otherwise?" Longnu raised her brows and asked back as her clothes were floating in the water.

"I'll go with you this time." Gu Jie thought for a while and replied.

"It's not too late, let's go see her now." Said the dragon girl, she took the lead and left the Dragon Palace.Seeing this, the little dragon followed closely behind.

The sea witch lives in the deepest part of the sea, where there is no sunlight all year round. Ao Cunxin holds a night pearl and walks in the dark sea.The deeper you go, the less you see aquariums. At the beginning, you can see all kinds of shining fish, but in the end, there is no life within [-] meters.

Sea witches live in a cave under the sea.

The two entered the cave shortly, but there was a cave inside.

The sea witch was dressed in a gray-black robe, with long hair hanging loose to cover his face. He was brewing a decoction made of unknown ingredients. The decoction did not have a bitter taste like ordinary herbs, but it smelled of the sea water. The fishy smell.

"I've met the sea witch." Ao Cunxin said respectfully.Mi Jie imitated the example, so she also followed the etiquette of the younger generation, imitating Ao Cun Xin and calling Hai Wu Grandma.

"Oh? Who am I? It turns out to be you, the dragon girl of the West Sea. What are you looking for?" Haiwu looked up at the two of them, and asked straight to the point.

"I want to ask my mother-in-law something." Ao Cunxin answered honestly.

"You know my rules." The sea witch put down the work in hand, picked up the cane at the side, and said slowly walking in front of them.

"know."

"Then you are ready to exchange with me?"

"nature."

"I don't know what else the third princess can use to exchange news with me now."

"A few days ago, someone gave me back what I didn't want, and asked Grandmother Hai to take it back."

"I only accept unique treasures. I've already got your idiot, so naturally I won't want it again." The two eyes of the sea witch looked Ao Cunxin all over his body, and said, "Now you have only these eyes on your body. The old man is quite eye-catching."

Ao Cunxin's eyes were born beautiful, there is the blue sea tide of the West Sea, the moon falls and the stars sink, and the whole sea is filled there.

Now that the sea witch said this, Ao Cunxin involuntarily touched his eyes.

Ji Jie also looked at Long Nu with a look of astonishment.Seeing her touching her eyes with her hands, she couldn't help saying loudly: "Slow down!"

After he stopped drinking, the eyes of Haiwu and Ao Cunxin turned to him.

He Jie ignored Ao Cunxin's gaze, looked straight into Hai Wu's eyes with a calm face, and asked, "I don't know what kind of thing on Xiao Ke's body can get into Hai Wu's eyes."

The sea witch stared at him for a while, and said: "The medicine I am boiling now is short of a medicine. It is the 24 dragon balls in your ribs."

There are 24 ribs in the dragon shell, and there is a night pearl in each rib.Only at the age of 24 years, when the [-] ribs are full and full of pearls, can shed the shell and become a dragon.

"Okay. Just take it!" Xiao Nilong's tone was nonchalant, as if what was taken away was nothing more than a possession.

Ao Cunxin became anxious immediately.No one understood better than her how much he wanted to shed his shell and become a real dragon.And taking out 24 dragon balls from his body, I'm afraid that all his cultivation will be destroyed.

"Jie Jie, don't mess around!"

"Shut up!" Nao Jie said, and then chanted a formula and cast a restraining spell on Ao Cunxin, making her unable to speak or move.

"She's too noisy." Little Naolong said to Hai Wu.

"I think so too." The sea witch nodded, then turned to look at the boiling soup.

Ao Cunxin watched helplessly as Kao Jie used her spiritual power to force out the dragon balls in her ribs, one, two, three... the dragon balls fell into the boiling soup one by one, and Kao Jie's face became paler and paler.By the time the last dragon ball fell into the soup, Kai Jie had already lost her balance and knelt on the ground.

As for Ao Cunxin, his eyes were already blurred, and tears burst out of his eyes uncontrollably and merged into the sea water.

"Come on, what do you want to ask?"

"Where is that old bastard who framed my father back then?! Where is Yuan Shoucheng?"

"One thing for one thing, I can only answer one question for you."

"Is there any difference between these two questions?" Mo Jie asked with a wry smile

The sea witch thought for a while and said, "These are two completely different questions." She turned her head to look at the expressions of Ao Cunxin and Mo Jie, and said, "Which one do you want me to answer?"

There was shock in the eyes of Mo Jie, and he replied angrily: "Of course it is the first one. Who is it that set the trap for my father to break the rules of heaven?"

"It's the owner of the 33rd Chongtian Tushita Palace. There is no such person as Yuan Shoucheng in this world. Yuan Shoucheng is just an illusion."

An illusion that can fool the Dragon King of Jinghe, how powerful is the person who created this illusion?

————————————————————————————————————————

At this time, on the 33rd floor, Yang Jian was playing chess in Laojun's palace.

In that game of chess, white pieces and black pieces competed and crisscrossed each other, it was already an unmanageable situation.Yang Jian looked at the chess game and couldn't help saying: "Yang Jian admits defeat."

"It's really too early for you to admit defeat. This is obviously a draw."

"I'm afraid that if all the tricks are exhausted, it will be a draw in the end. It's better to admit defeat early." Yang Jian threw the sunspot in his hand aside, and said lightly.

Laojun glanced at him, and said: "You still blame me for not keeping my promise back then, and for helping you in your battle with Monkey King, it is not very honest for you to win."

At the beginning, Yang Jian captured Sun Wukong for Tianting, and before he left, he said to everyone, "If I lose to him, I don't need to be helped by Lie Gong. I have my own brothers to support me. If I win him, I don't need to be bound by Lie Gong. I have my own brothers to fight. "However, when the monkey was finally cleaned up, Laojun still threw the diamond circle from the side and hit Monkey King on the head, which gave Xiao Tiangou a chance to bite the monkey's leg, and Yang Jian tied Monkey King with the demon-binding rope.

"That's all in the past, Yang Jian naturally won't hold it in his heart." Yang Jian said, paused and said: "Besides, the patriarch did this because he was dissatisfied with the heaven, so he deliberately let him steal the elixir to improve his cultivation. Because, I deliberately calculated the time and caught him and threw him into the gossip furnace to help him cultivate his sharp eyes."

The old man was silent.

"Back then, after the Battle of the Conferred Gods, the Patriarch carried Qing Niu west out of Hangu Pass to turn Hu into a Buddha. Yang Jian admired it very much. The battle of Conferred Gods resulted in mutual casualties, and the cut off was more serious than my interpretation. You Yang Jian really admires the fact that the Western Sect can accept the three thousand mortals of the Jiejiao and relieve their suffering." Yang Jian continued to speak slowly.

"Explaining and cutting off teachings are all Taoism, and Taoism was founded by you, so naturally I can't bear to see a dead line." He looked at the black and white chess piece, and said, "I just don't know why the death of the Dragon King of Jinghe was caused, so as to promote Tang Seng's death." The matter of learning scriptures from the West."

"Junior Brother Tongtian is still hiding in Biyou Palace and sees no outsiders. The failure of Chanjiao is a certainty. Your patriarch defends his weaknesses with all his strength and fights with Tongtian. Over the years, the sects of Chanjiao and Jujiao have been fighting each other. It is like a chess game, which is difficult to deal with."

"I have cultivated the Hinayana Dharma with many treasures. In order to spread the Hinayana Dharma in the Central Plains of the Lower Realm, someone needs to go to the Western Paradise to learn the scriptures. However, at that time, Li Tang Zhengxing, Taoism was the state religion, and the royal family and common people rushed to join the Tao. Naturally, no one would think of going to the Western Paradise. From the scriptures, the story of the Dragon King of Jinghe was born. Later, the Dragon King was beheaded by Wei Zheng, but he entered the Tang Emperor’s dream every night, frightened the Tang Emperor’s soul into the underworld, and then returned to Yang before his lifespan. After this incident, the Tang Emperor Decided to promote Buddhism, but the Buddhist scriptures in Central Earth were not complete, so I sent Tripitaka to the west to learn the scriptures."

"It's just that the Dragon King of Jinghe is so innocent? Did the Patriarch let the Dragon King of Jinghe die unjustly in order to allow the coexistence of interception and elucidation of teaching?"

"If there is a cause in this world, there will be an effect. The twins of the Xihai Dragon Clan are different, and the Xihai Dragon Girl had no chance to come to this world. But the Dragon King of Jinghe did not give up and raised her until she grew up, which violated the destiny. , so there is such a catastrophe."

"One egg and twins are different numbers, so the three princesses of Xihai and the third prince have to go through calamity."
