Nine Heavens True Dragon

Chapter 23
Red Mountain is a small hill in the northwest of LS City, the capital of XZ. In the hearts of local people who believe in Z Buddhism, it is like Putuo Mountain where Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva lives, so it is called Potala (Putuo) in Z language.The world-famous Potala Palace was built according to the winding terrain of this mountain, reaching the top of the mountain.

Legend has it that this splendid palace originated in the seventh century AD. At that time, the Tubo king Songtsan Gampo built a nine-story palace with a thousand rooms on the Red Mountain in order to marry Princess Wencheng of the Tang Dynasty, and named it the Potala Palace to live in the princess. .The palaces are stacked, twists and turns, and organically integrated with the mountain. This is the most direct feeling of the Potala Palace.Its main building has 13 floors, from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain.

As a sacred place of Buddhism, there are always countless pilgrims and tourists visiting the Potala Palace every year.They usually start from the wordless stone tablet at the foot of the mountain, pass through the winding stone-paved slope road, and reach the east gate with the huge murals of the four King Kongs, and then enter the main hall through the 4-meter-thick palace wall tunnel.On the mountainside, there is a platform of about 1600 square meters, which is a place for people of all ages to watch songs and dances, named Deyang Building.From this escalator, go up through the Dasongku Corridor, and you will arrive at the East Hall, the largest palace of the White House.

Today, the Potala Palace in people's eyes can feel its uniqueness no matter in terms of its interlaced stone and wood construction method or in terms of the cultural connotation contained in the palace itself.It always seems to leave a deep impression on those who have been here.Unified granite walls; wooden roofs and window eaves with protruding designs; all copper tiles and gilt decorations, as well as ridge decorations made of sutra pillars, vases, capricorn fish, and golden-winged birds. All the perfect coordination makes the whole palace look magnificent.The murals in the main hall can also be regarded as a unique scenery in the Potala Palace.

In this giant painting art gallery, there are not only records of the history of the development of Buddhism, but also the life of the fifth Dalai Lama, the process of Princess Wencheng's entry into Tibet, ancient architectural images and a large number of Buddha statues, King Kong, etc., which are said to be precious. The historical picture scroll is no exaggeration.

The unique Potala Palace is sacred at the same time, because in today's China, whenever it is mentioned, people will naturally associate it with XZ.As if in people's minds, this ancient architectural complex, which condenses the wisdom of the working people of the Z ethnic group and has witnessed the cultural exchanges between Han and Tibetan, has definitely become a symbol of the Z ethnic group with its glorious majesty and status as a holy place for Z Buddhism.

At the foot of the Potala Palace, a boy sat in the shadow of an unnoticed corner, with a faint smile on his handsome face, and a pair of deep eyes staring at the tourists and pilgrims coming to the Potala Palace in confusion. The XZ people.A small head popped out of his arms suddenly, looking at the outside world, the word "Wang" on the forehead of the small head was particularly eye-catching.

The boy sitting on the ground is of course Gao Yuntian. This is already the 7th day since he came to the Potala Palace. After nearly 3 months of training, although his strength has been significantly improved, but recently For half a month, his realm has been stably staying at the second level of Chaos God Art, and although his physical strength has also improved to a certain extent, it seems to have reached a bottleneck recently. No matter how much he increases the amount of training, there is no effect at all.So Gao Yuntian decided to listen to it and take a break, thinking about the illusory way of heaven mentioned in the Chaos God Art.

During these 7 days, Gao Yuntian has been observing the people who came to the pilgrimage. Most of them are very old and have come all the way from thousands of miles. They kowtow wholeheartedly, and bend down every three steps to let themselves have the closest contact with the earth. They think that the earth is their parents, and express their admiration for Confucianism.

Compared with the pilgrims, those tourists pointed at their behaviors, with ridicule on their faces, but the pilgrims seemed to have not seen these ridicules, and still knelt down to the Potala Palace all the way.The pilgrims of these people are so simple in heart, and their goals are so firm, Gao Yuntian silently admires these people
Looking at these pilgrims, Gao Yuntian thought, "Yeah, they have their own purpose, so no matter what difficulties are on this "road", they will not stop their progress, but what is my "road" What?" Thinking back to his various experiences since accepting Qin Shihuang's inheritance until now, his promise to Qin Shihuang's mission to revive China, his promise to his grandfather to live a good life, and the agreement with Yang Liu, Gao Yuntian's confused eyes gradually became firm.

"It turns out that I have been walking in accordance with my own "Tao", but I am still struggling to pursue it. My "Tao" is to use my power to protect China, protect my relatives and friends, make China stronger, and make China stronger. My relatives and friends will not be harmed in any way. This is my way of heaven!" After Gao Yuntian confirmed his way of heaven, a mysterious smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

At this time, the primordial spirit in Gao Yuntian's brain was further condensed and strengthened under the high-speed rotation of countless light spots in the surrounding chaotic space. The sea and the 360 ​​five small vortex air seas around the body are rotating at high speed to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.At the same time, the real fire of Samadhi reappeared after merging with the Shennong Ding, and tempered Gao Yuntian's body while growing stronger
Under such circumstances, Gao Yuntian's chaotic true energy and physical strength increased rapidly, and the realm that had not been broken through for half a month unexpectedly achieved a breakthrough at this moment, and his strength was greatly improved again.After all the vortex air seas in Gao Yuntian's body went through a big cycle, Gao Yuntian gradually woke up from the realization just now

"Hehe, I didn't expect that just to confirm my way, I would break through the second level of Chaos God Art and enter the third level. It seems that the way of heaven is really unpredictable! Since you are so difficult to let people Think about it, then I will only follow my own way in the future, and I will no longer inquire about the way of heaven, and I will use my own way as the criterion for everything in the future!" Gao Yuntian thought to himself, then got up and left the corner where he stayed for 7 days , continue to walk to the west, to the vast snow-capped mountains, to continue his journey of experience
