The Buddha is actually me

Chapter 414: The Dragon Girl is Born

The world in the gourd.

It looks a bit desolate here. The mountains are dark green, the hills are undulating, and the vegetation is sparse. Although there are rivers, they are dry and there are many weeds on the ground.

This was the first time that Zhang Jiuyang entered the gourd in his true form. He found that it was really big, like a small world, but it lacked vitality and had a heavy atmosphere of death.

Yue Ling also looked around, with a hint of surprise in her eyes.

Zhang Jiuyang said that the storage space of his magic weapon was very large, but he did not expect it to be so large. It contained the universe, just like heaven and earth.

Bai Niqiu really spent a lot of money to give such a precious magic weapon.

You know, even the most advanced storage magic weapon that she had exchanged from the treasury of the Imperial Observatory with tens of thousands of good deeds was not even one-tenth the size of this gourd.

Yue Ling opened the golden vertical pupil between his eyebrows and stared at the dried-up river with deep eyes.

"I'm afraid this gourd of yours has a very important origin. It looks like it once gave birth to life. It has all the elements of earth, water, wind and fire. It's like a Taoist temple. But I don't know why it has fallen into disrepair. The four elements of earth, water, wind and fire are missing, and it has become so desolate."

There were traces of water flowing here, but now it has disappeared. There is no wind around, and as for the fire...

Yue Ling used the Ming Wang Fa to feel it and found that the deep core of the earth was cold, with no trace of the raging fire.

Earth, water, wind and fire, only earth is left.

Zhang Jiuyang was about to speak when suddenly, the ground beneath his feet shook and cracks appeared, as if a monster was rolling over in the ground.

Yue Linghan raised his eyebrows and said, "I was mistaken. There are actually living creatures hiding here, and they are quite powerful."

Roar!
With the sound of a dragon moving, a huge golden python flew out from deep underground. It was about a hundred feet long, with layers of fine patterns on its body, and it seemed to have some kind of strange power.

This is the golden python, an ancient species and also the weapon of the tiger.

Zhang Jiuyang sealed this thing in a gourd. During this period of time, things happened one after another and he actually forgot about this thing.

At this moment, the enemies were extremely jealous of each other. The golden python's eyes turned red when it saw Zhang Jiuyang, and it opened its bloody mouth, wanting to swallow the enemy who suppressed it into its stomach.

It was originally the most powerful demon king in the Tongtian Mountains, but unfortunately it was defeated in the battle between dragons and tigers. The tiger pulled out its spine and refined its essence into a golden halberd.

Its evil spirit was already extremely strong, and now being suppressed again by Zhang Jiuyang, it naturally became even more violent, almost going crazy.

Zhang Jiuyang sneered and was about to attack, but was stopped by Yue Ling.

"You are about to break through. Don't waste your mana. Leave it to me."

She stepped forward, even putting away the Overlord Spear, took a deep breath, slowly raised her fist, and activated the power of dragon and elephant. Her blood surged in her body like a river and sea, making a sound like waves crashing on the shore.

That domineering fist seemed to hold up the entire sky, thunder rumbled in the chest, and golden flames gushed out.

Boom!

A mountain in the distance suddenly collapsed.

Before she threw the fist, the fist intent had already collapsed the mountain. She actually used her arm as a spear and performed the Overlord Juding move.

With a loud bang, the golden python flew backwards. Its huge body looked like a kite with a broken string. There was a deep fist mark on its forehead, which was said to be as hard as a diamond.

However, it did not fly far because a hand grabbed its tail.

A fierce light flashed in Yue Ling's eyes, and his feet sank into the ground. Relying on his infinite divine power, he actually pulled the golden giant python that was a hundred feet long and swung it like a whip.

Boom!

Under the 'Golden Whip', mountains collapsed one after another and the ground was smashed into pieces, which made Zhang Jiuyang tremble with fear.

The golden python is experiencing the darkest moment of its life.

After an unknown amount of time, Yue Ling threw the limp giant python to the ground, walked up to it and stomped on its spine, then grabbed its head with his hands, let out a roar, and exerted force suddenly.

There was a crackling sound, like tearing cloth.

The golden python's head was actually torn off by her. The hard head was full of holes and one of its eyeballs was blown out, leaving a bloody mess.

She casually wiped her blood-stained hand on the armor, and then gave Zhang Jiuyang a smile that she thought was gentle.

"Okay, just practice with peace of mind. It won't cause any trouble again."

Zhang Jiuyang's face twitched and his heart trembled.

Wait a minute, is this the bride I’m about to marry?

Is it a bit tough?
Is it too late to break off the engagement now?
He seemed to see his own miserable life in the future, but then he shook his head and thought, No, as long as I can beat her, what does all this matter?
Break through, I want to break through!
Otherwise, he won’t even be able to control his own wife in the future, which will be a disgrace to our Zhang family.

He immediately sat cross-legged, his face showing determination and full of fighting spirit.

Yue Ling showed a relieved smile when she saw this. Zhang Jiuyang seemed very touched, and her efforts were not in vain.

But she suddenly remembered that her mother seemed to have pulled her aside last night and reminded her to be more ladylike and gentle in the future.

Thinking of this, she reflected secretly and decided to be more careful next time.

At this moment, she saw that the golden python on the ground was still trembling, and its originally broken head was actually gathered together with its body, and the flesh and blood were squirming together.

It actually has extremely strong self-healing ability!
She walked up and kicked the snake's head, sending it flying dozens of feet away. It even pierced through a mountain and splashed up a huge wave of dust.

"If you move again, I'll roast you."

The next moment, the golden python trembled violently, and then stopped moving. It lay obediently on the ground, and even curled up its body into a chair to let Yue Ling sit down.

After a moment, the head crawled back again, but it was no longer ferocious. Instead, it was as docile and well-behaved as a puppy, licking Yue Ling's boots.

She suddenly felt that she seemed to have a talent for taming animals.

……

In his dantian, Zhang Jiuyang's soul transformed into a divine sword that radiated infinite wisdom. It was tough, sharp, and indestructible.

He stared at his Pure Yang Dragon Tiger Golden Pill, held his breath, and continued to chant the scriptures.

The last time he carved to the fifth chapter of the Tao Te Ching, when he wrote about the unkindness of heaven and earth, his spirit was exhausted and he could no longer hold on.

At this moment, having mastered Lu Zu's Tiandun sword technique, Zhang Jiuyang felt that his soul had become stronger than ever before. He used the sword tip as a pen and continued to carve on the golden elixir like a skilled sculptor.

"Heaven and earth are not benevolent, they treat all things as straw dogs; sages are not benevolent, they treat the people as straw dogs; between heaven and earth, is it like a bellows? Empty but unyielding, moving and producing more..."

He felt an unprecedented sense of smoothness. The previous feeling of being unable to move forward due to overcoming difficulties was gone. Under the sword of wisdom, the road ahead was smooth.

At the same time, as the "Tao Te Ching" was carved, his golden elixir, which had been tempered for thousands of times, began to rumble, as if it was undergoing a huge test. Fortunately, a steady stream of innate purple energy flowed into it, preventing it from shattering.

Zhang Jiuyang began to fall into a mysterious and wonderful state. The words in the Tao Te Ching seemed to come alive, constantly flying before his eyes, as if they were communicating with him.

He could feel that every word before him was a wise man and a treasure.

Life, spiritual practice, nature, the universe... He seemed to be opening the secret storehouse of wisdom, in dialogue and resonance with the "Tao" of this world. His eyes traveled through tens of millions of years of history, and saw the vicissitudes of life, the movement of the stars, the immortals, Buddhas, dragons, elephants, and all living beings, cattle and horses.

He saw a figure who had attained enlightenment in front of a cauldron thousands of years ago. He faced the wall for nine years and finally attained the profound art of enlightenment.

He saw a figure painting in the wilderness between the mountains. As his brush strokes struck, a storm broke out. A real dragon flew out of the painting, soaring into the sky and sending down rain to irrigate the rice.

He saw the Buddha sitting cross-legged under the Bodhi tree, seemingly talking to the air, with a hint of worry in his eyes, not knowing whether he was worried about the world or himself.

He saw a majestic figure wearing a dragon robe, standing on a nine-layer platform. He raised the imperial sword in his hand, roared towards the sky, and then resolutely set the platform on fire, and his body was engulfed in the sea of ​​fire.

Finally, he saw a solitary figure.

That man, with his back to the common people, had been playing chess with himself for thousands of years. He always smiled cynically, but deep in his eyes, there was silence.

……

Kyoto, Taiping Temple.

"Master, the Dao bell is ringing again!"

The white-haired disciple came to report, but the young-looking master was playing chess by himself.

"Why panic? It's not the first time it's rung. You'll get used to it after it rings a few times."

There was a hint of laziness in the voice of the Taiping Temple Master, and he said lightly: "You have lived for more than a hundred years, and you are considered a mature child. Your skills in cultivating qi are still too poor."

"Master, since you have entrusted the management of Taiping Temple to me, I have to ask you a question: what does it mean when the Dao bells of the whole world ring at the same time?"

The abbot dropped a word and slowly uttered eight words.

"The bells of Taoism are ringing together, and the saint is born."

"Saint? You don't have to do it twice in a row, right?"

The disciple was very puzzled.

The temple master smiled and said, "Who says that a saint cannot have a difficult birth? Maybe he didn't give birth the first time."

The disciple was speechless and said, "Master, you are just joking."

After a pause, he continued, "Master, the Dao bells are ringing, this is the saint of our Dao sect, do you want to go look for him?"

"No need. You won't find it if you look for it, but you can wait for it if you wait."

The disciple wanted to ask more questions, but the master waved his hand and said, "Master is going to sleep. Go to bed early and get up early so that you can live longer. If you keep asking me questions and delaying my sleep, you will be killing the master."

The disciple shrank his neck and had no choice but to give up and leave with a bow.

But after he left, the master of the temple did not fall asleep, but looked at the black and white chessboard quietly, without making a move for a long time.

……

Penglai Palace.

boom!
There was a loud bang, like a comet hitting the ground, shaking the entire fairy palace. It was accompanied by countless dragon roars, making the originally quiet fairy palace become turbulent.

In a palace that looked like a fairyland, a huge figure was looming in the rippling green waves and mist.

boom!boom!boom!boom!
The sound of collision continued to be heard in the fairy palace, and it became louder and louder.

A huge dragon head emerged from the pool, its glass-colored pupils staring into the distance, revealing a hint of human brilliance.

The second time!

The immortal cauldron began to move strangely again!

Ao Li woke up from his sleep with a start. His injuries had healed under the nourishment of the magical pool water. Even his dragon body became stronger and his magic power was enhanced.

There is not a single flaw on the snow-white dragon scales. They are as crystal clear as jade, shining with divine light, and full of sacredness and nobility. Every inch of flesh and blood is a perfect form of life evolution.

The dragon, the noblest creature in the world, is perfectly embodied in her.

Before entering the Immortal Palace, Ao Li was at the fifth realm. Only because of her powerful body of a true dragon could she fight against those at the sixth realm. But now, in just a few short months, she has reached the level of the sixth realm, and even the peak of the sixth realm!
The strength has undergone a drastic change.

But even as powerful as she was, she was often injured in this fairy palace and had to recuperate in this pool of water.

boom! ! !
The entire fairy palace shook violently, wisps of dust fell, and it actually felt like it was about to collapse.

This made Ao Li's heart tremble. This time, the movement of the immortal cauldron seemed to be even stronger than last time.

With a dragon's roar, she flew out of the water and transformed into a beautiful figure.

Her black hair was as black as ink, her clothes were as white as lotus, and her colorful silk ribbons fluttered in the surrounding mist. Her crystal clear bare feet stepped on the water, creating ripples.

She seems like the legendary goddess of Luo River, or the cold and pure fairy in the Moon Palace.

If you look closely, you will find that there is a faint circle of five-colored divine ring behind her, which makes her temperament appear more ethereal, noble and holy.

Her glass-colored eyes shone with divine light as she stared at the bronze gate of the fairy palace.

Under the relentless impact of the Immortal Cauldron, the giant door that seemed to support the heaven and earth trembled slightly and actually opened a crack.

In an instant, a hint of excitement appeared in Ao Li's eyes.

During the time she was trapped in the Immortal Palace, every time her cultivation improved, she would try to open the bronze door. However, no matter whether she was in the fifth or sixth realm, she was like an ant in front of the door, there was no difference at all.

Only that immortal cauldron seemed to possess the power to shake the immortal gate.

Therefore, the moment she saw a crack in the huge bronze door, she knew that her chance to escape seemed to have come.

Roar!
With a dragon's roar, she transformed into a white dragon and flew out, riding on the clouds and mist, heading towards the huge bronze gate. During the flight, she performed the art of transformation, and her body kept shrinking from a hundred feet in size, until it was as small as an earthworm.

A dragon can be big or small, visible or invisible.

And in the depths of the Immortal Palace, several black shadows rushed out like her and flew towards the gap.

Ao Li didn't seem surprised by their presence.

The opportunity was fleeting. Ao Li seemed to be a little slow, and several dark shadows actually tried to stop Ao Li.

At this moment, a dragon corpse in the immortal cauldron suddenly moved, emitting a powerful and majestic dragon roar, which had a strong deterrent power and was full of the aura of a king.

Immediately afterwards, the black shadows froze slightly and missed the best opportunity to block Ao Li.

Whoosh!
Ao Li finally flew out of the fairy palace through the gap. Looking back, he saw several black shadows flying out and going in all directions.

Immediately afterwards, the immortal cauldron seemed to be exhausted and sank again, and the immortal gate closed automatically.
