I am an immortal in heaven and earth

Chapter 312 Six-whiskered Golden Turtle Catfish

Shunji Dragon King also has his limitations. Although he came from the upper realm, he was just a fish in the pond. With five breaths of qi and three drops of blood, he achieved incarnation, inherited the name of Shunji, and realized the cause and effect of the past.

Mirage Dragon also has his limitations. Although he has practiced for thousands of years, he is obsessed with appearances and only feels that people's hearts are evil. In other words, the reason why monsters become demons is because they are bewitched by human hearts. This is completely opposite to the idea in vernacular novels where demons bewitch people's hearts.

This kind of thinking is actually somewhat similar to Taoism, where there is a scripture saying: "Nature is the mandate of heaven, following nature is the way, and cultivating the way is teaching. If you abandon sagehood and wisdom, the people will benefit a hundredfold; if you abandon benevolence and righteousness, the people will return to filial piety and kindness; if you abandon cleverness and profit, there will be no thieves. These three are considered insufficient, so they are made to belong to something, to be simple and honest, to have few private desires. If you abandon learning, you will have no worries.

It is believed that if people are governed according to their nature, without the need for false benevolence, righteousness, and morality, they will not have so many crooked thoughts, because people's minds are very pure and honest at the beginning.

To put it bluntly, it means giving up rule and education, and returning to an ancient era of barbarians without rule and education.

If no one promotes saints, no one will want to be a saint. If no one wants to be a saint, no one will be troubled by fame.

If wisdom is not developed, there will not be so many conspiracies and tricks. These conspiracies and tricks will return to the person himself. The more knowledge one has, the more he deviates from his nature. He is a hypocritical person, a person wearing a mask. Therefore, Taoists pursue innocence. Innocent children are not influenced by these moral concepts of benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and morality. They believe that good is good and bad is bad.

Of course, this state is only suitable for a "small country with few people" or a large country in the stage of recuperation.

But at a certain stage, this statement is bound to be inconsistent with the interests of everyone. To be consistent with the interests of everyone, everyone must be in charge, but how can anything be accomplished if everyone is in charge?

If Xu Jia were here, he would definitely not argue with him. There is no need to argue. It depends on how he does it. This kind of person is only willing to believe what he wants to believe and look for answers with the answers in mind.

Moreover, this can be considered a "dispute over truth", and a dispute over truth often turns into a "dispute over paths". Since he had been beheaded by Xu Xun once before, it seemed that he had failed.

Instead, he said that Xu Xun had failed, and his entire family had ascended to heaven, but he described them as having left this world in disgrace and given up on themselves.

Little did people know that if he had not attained enlightenment and practiced well, how could he have ascended to heaven? How could he have such a high status and be loved and remembered by the people?

The person ascended to heaven, and you jumped out. But in the dark, why didn't you jump out back then?
It still didn't hurt.

It would be fine if he just hides in a corner and licks his wounds silently, reminiscing about his former power and arrogance, but if he dares to stand up and criticize others, Xu Jia will have to beat him again.

Not to mention that you can't see the sun when you look up, this kind of mirage can sometimes turn into clouds and block it. The funny thing is that the mirage itself gets its power from the light of the sun and the moon, but it turns around and slanders the sun and the moon, trying to block their light so that people can't see it and only believe what it says and what it weaves.

Shunji the Little Dragon King thought he could win him over, but he was totally wrong. After his mouth became dry and his tongue became tired, he stopped talking.

The mirage dragon was very proud, thinking that Shunji was convinced by him and was speechless. He advised: "If there is real salvation, it must be in imagination. It is better to come to my fantasy world, where you can get whatever you want and dream."

"Upside-down dreams are nothing but illusions." Shunji thought: This guy is not worth considering, so he left.

After leaving this place, Shunji thought that since he was already here, he went to look for the thousand-year-old rhinoceros spirit. This rhinoceros spirit was a female monster that had cultivated into a human body very early on. Her appearance was not ugly, but rather like a fairy on the Moon Star, the leader among the flower fairies. The rest of the rhinoceroses were also around her, only about a hundred in total, which was not a lot.

An osmanthus tree similar to the Taiyin cassia tree grows tall and spreads out like an umbrella. Wherever it covers is a blessed land.

As soon as Shunji Dragon King arrived, the old rhinoceros mother said, "Don't come looking for me. I am a fairy from Dangui Palace in heaven. Because I wanted to be a mortal, I was demoted to the mortal world and turned into a demon. Your original body was just a koi in the fairy pond. Your fairy rank and status are not as good as mine, so there is no need for you to teach me how to do things."

"I just wait for the calamity to end and return to Dangui Palace. I don't want to cause any disturbance. Even if there is a huge uproar outside, it has nothing to do with me. Besides, my young people hate humans the most. In the past, they were hunted and killed for their skins to make armor. This happened quite a lot."

Shunji was so disappointed that he didn't want to look for the big catfish spirit anymore and was about to return to Poyang.

Suddenly I heard a voice: "Brother, take care."

Then I saw a shadow appear at the bottom of Dongting Lake. The shadow was so huge that I was afraid that 500 miles of the 800 miles of Dongting Lake were covered by this shadow.

The exposed head is a mountain, and the catfish whiskers are island chains.

He opened his mouth, and the water of Dongting Lake formed a whirlpool. He said, "Old brother, wait for me."

Shunji calmed down and asked, "Do you know who I am?"

"We have been in spiritual contact for a long time." The big catfish said, "When my brother came to the mortal world, I had a feeling, but I was just distressed that I could not see him in person."

"What do you want to see me about?"

The big catfish said, "I am a species from the mountains and seas, a golden turtle with six whiskers. Many years ago, a thin Taoist priest recited the Happy Journey here and then controlled the six qi to travel through the void. I listened to one of the passages and used the meaning of the sutra to practice cultivation. My body gradually grew larger, and now the entire Dongting Lake cannot accommodate me." "It would have been fine if I was still in Yunmeng, but one day I rolled over and caused an earthquake. Suddenly, the sea changed drastically, and all the water leaked into the ground with the earthquake."

"I feel that my elder brother has cultivated infinite virtues, which is an opportunity for me to escape, so I came here to ask for advice."

"I am fat and cannot fly. If I want to go to the sea, the rivers are too narrow. I can jump into the East China Sea by jumping a few times, but I am afraid that all living things will be destroyed. Brother, if you can lift me up to the sky and let me go into the sea, I am willing to become sworn brothers with you and convert to Lingbao."

Shunji saw that it was five hundred miles long, three hundred miles thick, and two hundred miles thick. Its body was black and it had six golden whiskers, which was quite magical.

He thought to himself, "When I was learning about water virtue, I heard that Emperor Dongyuan had a boy named Xu Kunzi, who was transformed from a large Kun fish in the Cangming Sea. He practiced in the Tongtian River in a certain world, and later entered the North Sea to gain enlightenment. He was the first in the world to gain water virtue. The Four Seas Dao Mu, Lady Pingxin Zhenhai, once accepted him as a marshal. If I can subdue him and accept him, it will also help my virtue. I am in the South Sea, and he lives in the East Sea. If I add two more, can't I occupy the four seas? If I get four sea eyes, this world will also be considered my achievement, and the four seas will coordinate the shipping..."

However, he knew that although he had some magical powers, it was impossible for him to move the giant catfish, so he could only ask Xu Jia.

So he said: "My original body is cultivating in the South China Sea. I am just the incarnation of the five qi and blood essence. I am considered as my offspring, the Poyang Dragon God. Don't worry, I will find a way for you to escape from the predicament."

"Thank you very much, brother."

He just felt happy, but he couldn't turn over, otherwise it would cause an earthquake and another wave of sea waves.

Shunji went back and wanted to seek advice from Xu Jia.

As soon as he left, the mirage dragon scolded him, "Stupid fish, go find him, and don't you know that he will sell you out later?"

"I don't care about these. I will listen to whoever has the ability. You can't get me out of Dongting. I have to find a way myself. My body is now 500 miles long, and it will be 800 miles in the future. Dongting and I are like a puddle that is about to dry up. Back then, Poyang Dragon Mother wanted to save me and subdue me, but it didn't work. Now there is another one. I put my hope in him. Don't mess up my good things, otherwise I will turn over and destroy this 800-mile Dongting."

After he said that, Mirage Dragon also became obedient. In fact, this stupid big guy was not really stupid. If he was really forced into a corner, he would lose this hiding place. It would be troublesome to go somewhere else.

Shunji Dragon King came back here, asked about Xu Jia's whereabouts, and then came up to explain.

However, he did not mention the matter of the mirage dragon. He just skipped it to avoid upsetting Xu Jia, and only talked about the matter of the giant catfish.

"A strange species from the mountains and seas, a six-bearded golden turtle?" After hearing this, Xu Jia couldn't help but feel that it was too much of a coincidence.

It is said that Jin'ao Island is on the back of a golden turtle, a prehistoric alien species. Many rumors say it is a giant turtle, but it is actually a fish.

Previously, Xu Jia prayed for his father's literary fortune and offered sacrifices to Kuixing. Kuixing had a Dharma image with a unique figure, which was this Aoyu. Guanyin also had a Dharma image, and her mount was an Aoyu.

It can be seen that the Ao Yu is considered a relatively high-end mount among the immortals. Since it is a relatively high-end mount, it is generally a mythical beast. Even if it is not as good as the dragon, phoenix, or unicorn, it also has a history and foundation.

However, he had never seen such a big abalone before, which made Xu Jia really think of Jin'ao Island and Biyou Palace.

However, when I heard that it was the image of a giant catfish, not a dragon head and a fish body, I breathed a sigh of relief.

"This giant catfish dare not move. If it does, it will cause an earthquake and cause great suffering to all living things. It wants us to ferry it to the sea."

When Xu Jia heard the key words "earthquake" and "catfish", he immediately thought of the Japanese legend, the earthquake catfish.

It is said that Japan often experiences earthquakes and volcanic eruptions because there is a catfish in the underground world of Japan, which causes earthquakes whenever it moves.

"He is indeed destined to the East China Sea." Xu Jia confirmed, "I also have a way to cross the sea. You need to practice a magic weapon called Naihe Bridge. This is the tool of power in the underworld. You can't cross it, you can't leave it, and you can't stop. But to practice the Naihe magic weapon, you need to take 365 pieces of bridge core stones from ancient bridges over a hundred years old, and try to sacrifice and refine them into a stone bridge. Span the Yellow Spring River, and ferry thousands of souls, then it will be considered a success.

When the floods are over next year, a bridge will be formed to allow him to go to the sea of ​​clouds in the sky, and then the sea of ​​clouds will be driven into the East China Sea to complete him. This is also a merit. "

"Since there is a way, I will go and tell him." Shunji the little dragon king was delighted to hear this.

"We need to find more people to look for the heart stone of the century-old bridge."

"As the saying goes, repairing bridges and repairing roads is a great merit. Once the core stone of the bridge is taken away, the bridge will be ruined and will become unstable. You have to tear down one and build another. Where can you find those 365 core stones of the bridge?" Xu Jia shook his head.
