Chapter 765 234. Ancient Coffin from Taixu

After the Peach Festival ended, Tao Ruo tried to persuade Li Xi'an to stay in Tianshan for a while longer, but was politely declined.

In the midst of the peach petals, Li Xi'an smiled and transformed into a dragon, his red scales eclipsing the sunset glow of the Tianshan Mountains. Chu Xing'er hummed a song and jumped onto the dragon's horn, "Let's go back to Taihang!"

"Once this matter is settled, please all drink the new tea from the lotus pond together." said Chilong.

The kings who saw him off all knew what Li Xian was referring to. As spring passed and autumn came, this unrivaled leader of all scaly creatures would officially begin his journey back to Oneness.

Dusk swallowed up the last ray of skylight, the subtle fragrance of peach forest permeated the 18000 peaks of Tianshan Mountain, the faint lotus fire illuminated the crowned kings across the land, they revealed their true bodies one by one and crossed the vast sky and earth.

"Bye, everyone!" Chu Xing'er lay on the dragon's horn and waved, but as Li Xian swung the dragon's body and slithered up, she was taken to the depths of the clouds before she finished speaking, and in an instant a stream of red light streaked across the sea of ​​clouds and disappeared.

Above the sea of ​​clouds, the shadow of a dragon leaped. Chu Xing'er clutched the pale mane tightly, watching the peaks of the Tianshan Mountains shrinking behind her. Suddenly, the peach-colored sea of ​​clouds of the Tianshan Mountains dimmed, just like the lost heart of the girl.

Chu Xing'er turned around and said, "You are very popular!"

Chilong smiled and said, "I am loved by everyone."

Chu Xing'er looked disgusted and said, "I finally managed to create a filter of dignity and prestige because of what you said. You are loved by everyone, and I also want flowers to bloom when I see them! Look at that pitiful peach tree, I feel a little sorry for it... Have you really never considered finding a partner? In such a big country like Jiuzhou, there is not a single girl that you like?"

Chilong said: "Does this count as matchmaking?"

"I'm just matchmaking." Chu Xing'er said seriously, "I was a marriage tree in the temple. Most of the blessing cards hung on the tree said "May you have a happy marriage for a hundred years." Let me calculate for you. From the time you rose to power, you are now more than 40 million years old. This does not include the time when you were emaciated. Even according to the age calculation of scales, you are already an old dragon!"

"According to the words of the people who prayed for blessings back then, this means you are still working hard at the age of 40!" Chu Xing'er said earnestly, "Don't even mention 40 million years old. If you were like this in the starry sea, you would have been visited by matchmakers at the age of 4,000, and would have become a great-great-great-grandfather long ago! You are nothing like you now, alone, and I am the only one accompanying you on your return to Taihang."

"Do you feel lonely?" Li Xian asked back.

"Lonely?" Chu Xing'er shook her head. "No, no, no, how could I feel lonely... No, I'm asking you! Have you never thought about finding a companion?" She came to her senses and patted the dragon scales.

"Have you ever heard a saying?" Li Xian said.

"What?"

"If the world is not peaceful, how can we have a family?" This was the first time that Li Xian answered Chu Xing'er's question directly.

"This is too much about caring about the common good, can't we have some personal desires?" Chu Xing'er curled her lips.

But at this time Li Xian did not respond to her.

He climbed up steeply, and saw the Heluo Bridge extending ahead, and crossing it would lead him to the Taihang area.

The moment the red dragon crossed the Heluo Bridge and broke through the sea of ​​clouds, the floating clouds automatically parted to create a path in the sky. Chu Xing'er grabbed the dragon's horn and mane and saw two sparks light up on the main peak of Taihang.

A point of golden light is like the sun hanging in the sky, and a point of green light is like the moon falling to the ground.

"It's Sibu Zhuo and King Daming!" The girl kicked her legs excitedly, "They didn't go to the Peach Banquet, so they are waiting here to snatch it up!"

The dragon's shadow landed on the ground and a strong wind was stirred up. Before the wind dissipated, Li Xian walked out wearing red clothes.

Sibu Zhuo sat under the Mingshi tree admiring the moon. After not seeing her for a long time, there was an indescribable compassion between her brows. The Great Ming King sat on the bluestone beside her, dressed in white, with a golden wheel of merit rising behind him as bright as the sun.

"Dragon Lord is finally back?" Siwu Zhuo turned his head and smiled, "Not only did he get to eat the peaches, but he also got into a lot of peach debts."

Li Xi'an's red copper dragon horns were still stained with Tianshan snow foam. "Don't be so quick to make fun of me. Why don't you tell me your story in Taixu first?"

The Ming king's feathers fluttered slightly, and he sighed, "This is a long story, and it's also the reason why we didn't participate in the Peach Festival."

"It's okay. The night is long too." Li Xian waved his sleeves, candles lit up in the pavilion, and the clay pot on the stone table began to emit bursts of tea smoke.

………… In front of the stone table, tea smoke was rising, blurring the human figure.

"So the thread of cause and effect that entangles you is from Rong?" Li Xi'an swept his dragon tail lightly, rolled up the gourd and filled it with pine needle tea for King Daming again.

"The ultimate is much more complicated than we imagined. I suspect that Rong has more than one life position." The Great Ming King said, "Sibu Zhuo and I found the Mahayana Buddhism in the pagoda. We crossed the sea of ​​suffering and reached the other side. The golden body and the wheel of merit were reflected from our bodies. We only needed to cultivate the lotus platform to achieve the Buddhahood, that is, the supreme life in the world. But when we were about to leave Taixu after perfection, a certain wreckage in the depths of the sea of ​​suffering revived, and it entangled us with the thread of cause and effect for thousands of years!"

"If the time and space of Taixu were not different from that of Jiuzhou, I'm afraid our return would be much later."

"That remains should be Li You." Li Xi'an said, "He must want to get something from you by entangled you with the causal thread. I'm afraid he is preparing to touch the secrets of Taixu."

"Have you learned about the ancient history of Taixu in your inheritance?" Li Xian asked.

The Great Ming King hesitated for a moment, and then lifted a bronze coffin from the void. The surface of the coffin lid was covered with root-like patterns, like a giant tree occupying the entire coffin. Li Xi'an's pupils shrank, and the dark area suddenly expanded, covering the pavilion and the entire lake island.

"Don't be nervous, the things in this coffin have already run away." said King Daming.

He pointed his finger at the crack in the coffin, and there was only darkness inside. It was indeed empty.

"This coffin was sunk into the sea of ​​suffering, and a large Xumi Mountain was set up to suppress it. The ultimate vibration outside the Great Void shook open the mountain, causing the coffin to slide out. We checked carefully and found that the things in the coffin left a long time ago. We don't know what was buried there."

Chu Xing'er moved closer to observe and suddenly exclaimed "Huh!". Upon closer inspection, the lines turned out to be miniature veins of the cosmic tree.

"In Taixu customs, no one would use the cosmic tree as a coffin pattern for burial."

"Before Taixu fell, the immortals and Buddhas predicted that this was a backlash from the Cosmic Tree." Siwu Zhuo took off the Yin-Yang bottle hanging around his neck. A breeze suddenly blew up, rolling the tea smoke in front of them into the shape of a picture book. "The immortals and Buddhas knew that all existing living beings would be destroyed in this disaster, so they sought a solution from the ancient existences in the past."

"What do you mean... looking for a solution from the past?" Chu Xing'er subconsciously grabbed Li Xian's red scales.

"Taixu fell too early, so the former demon gods of the Creation still had their wills to remain. We currently don't have the ability to decipher this atlas, but we can guess that it was a demon god from the source of Buddhism. He left a path for future generations to seek the ultimate, in order to prevent the extinction of Buddhism. But no one expected the destruction to be so fast and so violent. Both the immortals and the Buddhas were silent for too long, and no descendants could find it back."

"What can symbolize the ultimate of Buddhism?"

"The World Honored One, and His two thrones, the throne of the six realms and the throne of samsara," replied the Great Bright King.

"Then do you know... that the Lord of Reincarnation has already appeared in the world?" Li Xian said.

"The Lord of Samsara has appeared?" King Daming stood up suddenly, stared at Li Xi'an and said, "Is Lord Long serious?"

"Naturally, Jiuzhou Lunhui is the master of the samsara throne."

"How strange!" King Daming exclaimed.

"So, are you satisfied with this answer?" Li Xian lowered his eyes.

The Great Ming King paused, "I wonder what Lord Long means by this?"

The Dragon King smiled but did not answer. Lotuses appeared in his eyes. The moonlight reflected on the lake surface, and the dark area expanded to the entire Taihang Mountains. Following the trajectory of the stars, you can see the dark gold spire rising from the ridge.

"The coffin was opened not long ago, and the things inside haven't been taken away. Aren't they right in front of me?"

The eight-sided ancient sword made of red copper hung down, blocking Chu Xing'er and King Daming.

Chu Xing'er suddenly shuddered.

It seems that I can’t write the next volume within these five chapters. I’ll write five more chapters, and that should be enough.
