Prehistoric: A steady life, starting from Journey to the West

Thinking of this, Chen Qi felt that the matter of Journey to the West became more and more confusing.

Chapter 60 Buddha is the way, what a simple Jinghe Dragon King! (ask for collection, ask for flowers)

Don't say that Taoism is to repay the cause and effect of inviting the two sages of the West during the Conferred God War, so it allows Buddhism to spread eastward and make Buddhism flourish.

Because as long as the brain is not kicked hundreds of times by the donkey, it is impossible to come up with such a plot.

The reason is very simple. The Buddhism in Journey to the West is not the Western religion established by the two sages of the West, but the Hinayana Buddhism composed of the disciples of the three religions of Jiechanren and Laozi Huahu.

Most of the bodhisattvas and buddhas come from the teachings and teachings.

Therefore, in essence, Lingshan Buddhism in Journey to the West is still a branch of Taoism, and it can be said that Buddha is Tao.

So you say that Journey to the West is a Taoist plan to repay the karma of the two sages in the West to make Lingshan Buddhism flourish?

Do you believe this statement yourself?

Thinking about how much the Yuanshi Tianzun paid attention to face, if the disciples under his sect really betrayed, it would be strange to let them live well.

There is no need to do it yourself, as long as you send a word casually, some people with great supernatural powers are willing to help him clean up the door and gain the friendship of a saint.

Not to mention that there are Guangchengzi, Taiyi Daoist, Nanji Xianweng, etc. in the explanation, Ruoci Hangdao and others really apostate, these guys have long been fighting for life and death with Lingshan Buddhism.

After all, traitors are sometimes more hateful than enemies.

Thinking about the attitude of Yang Jian, Nezha and others towards Guanyin Tathagata and others, it is not difficult to find the tricky things in it.

Therefore, compared to the reason of repaying the karma of the two Western Saints, Chen Qi is more willing to believe that the Taoist sect has made some big moves.

It's a pity that Chen Qi knew too few clues, and all his guesses came from the myths and legends of his previous life.

It is difficult to determine whether it is true or false, and I am even more confused about the Buddhist Journey to the West.

As for the Jinghe Dragon King?

Looking back now, it's not really innocent and stupid!

"Then if the Jinghe Dragon King took the initiative to participate in this matter, why?"

"Because of the orders of the Heavenly Court and the Dragon Clan, are you still planning for the benefits of traveling to the West for your youngest son, Xiao Qilong?"

Chen Qi's brain was spinning rapidly, constantly recalling information about the Dragon King of Jinghe from later generations.

Finally had to come to a conclusion!

This old dragon is not as simple as it appears on the surface. The possibility of actively participating in the Journey to the West and becoming a member of the plan's executor is as high as 90.00%.

Because Chen Qi recalled a detail in the original Journey to the West.

That is, the youngest son of the Dragon King of Jinghe, the little dragon occupied Heihe and prevented Tang Seng from learning scriptures.

Xiao Nilong's performance can be said to be remarkable. Not only did he fight back and forth with Zhu Bajie and Sha Monk, but he was also able to fight Monkey King twice. His strength must not be said to be weak.

Well, at least the terrestrial immortals started out, so they might be the first-class real immortals and heavenly immortals!

Afterwards, Monkey King intercepted the invitation sent by the Dragon King of the West Sea to the little dragon. Monkey King immediately knew the origin of the little dragon, and went to the West Sea Dragon Palace to inquire about the crime.

In the Dragon Palace of the West Sea, Monkey King once asked about the origin and situation of the Dragon King of the West Sea, the little dragon.

Then the Dragon King of Xihai said that Xiao Naolong was the youngest son of the Dragon King of Jinghe outside Chang'an City, and also his nephew, and he had eight older brothers.

Well, the Dragon King of Jinghe will not talk about it.

The focus is on the eight elder brothers of the little dragon, that is, the other eight sons of the Dragon King of Jinghe.

The eight sons of the Dragon King of Jinghe can be said to be extraordinary!

The first little yellow dragon: see Ju Huaidu, the king in the Huai River.

The second little Lilong: See Jujidu, guarding Jishui.

The third green-backed dragon: Occupy Jiangdu, that is, the Yangtze River.

The fourth red-bearded dragon: guarding Hedu, the river here refers to the Yellow River, guarding the Yellow River.

The fifth vain dragon: ringing the bell with the Buddha, who is in charge, grasping, and responsible for time.

The sixth Steady Beast Dragon: Suppresses the Spine with the Priest, it is the Spine Suppressing Divine Beast, that is, the Sacred Beast guarding the backbone of the palace.

The seventh respect for Zhonglong: guarding the Qingtian Huabiao with the Jade Emperor, and guarding the Qingtian Huabiao on the jade pillar of the heaven in order to protect the divine beast dragon of Qingtian Huabiao.

The eighth mirage dragon: It is based on Taiyue. Taiyue is the upper part of Wudang and next to the Han River. It should be the water god of the Han River.

Only the ninth son, Qilong, is the most disappointing. Because he is young and has no deacons, he lives in the Heishui River to cultivate his character. When he becomes famous, don't move him.

Well, it means that Little Naolong is the most disappointing, so he will be thrown into the Heishui River to be a water god to sharpen his temper. After he has a reputation, he is considering promoting him and sending him to a place with good geomantic omen.

He meows, it's totally because he doesn't want to know, and he's startled when he thinks about it.

Who would have thought that the Jinghe Dragon King, who was regarded as a foolish ghost and died unjustly, would be so terrifying.

Not only is it closely related to the West Sea Dragon Palace, but it also occupies the Yangtze River, Yellow River, Huai River, Ji River, etc. It has almost wiped out all the major water veins on the eastern land from their source.

In addition, the fifth son of the Dragon King of Jinghe followed the Buddha, and the seventh son followed the Jade Emperor.

With such a network, you told me that he was killed because of missing a few drops of rain?

Are you kidding me, if this is the case, the sons of the Four Seas Dragon Palace and the Jinghe Dragon King don't have a falling out.

Therefore, if Chen Qi dared to use his own head to vouch for it, there must be something wrong with it.

"So, what should I do?"

"Should I act like I don't know anything and make ordinary friends with the old dragon in front of me, or should I remind him and deepen our friendship?"

Thinking of this, Chen Qi couldn't help frowning, feeling a little hard to make a decision.

The matter of Journey to the West became more and more confusing. He still has not understood the truth and purpose of Journey to the West.

Now that I have a set of the Four Treasures of the Study, if I sell it, I will definitely not be short of money.

In addition, seeing how obsessed this old dragon is with his copybook, selling this copybook to him will definitely fetch a good price and directly realize financial freedom.

In such a situation, is it necessary to be involved in the huge cause and effect of Journey to the West? .

Chapter 61 Brother Ao, I am committed to your friend! (Seeking collection, seeking subscription)

"Good words, good articles, really good articles!"

"Sir, you are really talented. This article alone is enough to spread through the ages."

On Xiaonan Mountain, the Dragon King of Jinghe reluctantly moved his eyes away from the "Humble Room Inscription", looked at Chen Qi and said with admiration.

"Dragon King praised it absurdly, but I just wrote it casually. It just so happened that I was honored by the Dragon King and couldn't repay it. If the Dragon King didn't dislike it, I would send this inscription to the Dragon King. This can be regarded as reciprocity. It's an elegant thing for a literati! "

When Chen Qi heard the praise from the Dragon King of Jinghe, his thoughts instantly came back from the Westward Journey, and he said with a smile.

After he finished speaking, he walked to the stone table again, and wrote after the "Humble Chamber Inscription": "On June 13, the [-]th year of Zhenguan, Chang'an Xiaonansan happened to meet the Lord of the Jinghe River. Give it to Brother Ao!"

"Chen Ziming!"

At the end, he added his own name to the last paragraph of the copybook and stamped it with a private seal to show that it was written by Chen Qi himself, and that it was not a counterfeit addition by later generations.

"How to make it, how to make it!"

Jinghe Dragon King was very excited when he saw that Chen Qi really wanted to give the copybook to him.

He said that he couldn't do it, he couldn't do it.

But those longan eyes stared round and round, rubbing his hands and opening his mouth wide open, smiling like a fat man of three hundred catties.

At this time, the Dragon King of Jinghe couldn't help sighing in his heart, he is worthy of being a scholar and a great talent of Confucianism.

This is a set of words, just to make people feel comfortable.

He didn't really care about a piece of Confucian calligraphy. After all, with his status and strength, it was absolutely easy to collect a few great Confucian copybooks.

It's just that there are many copybooks of great Confucian scholars in the world, but articles praising dragons are rare.

If such an article is hung on the wall of his own Crystal Palace, it will greatly increase Long's face.

"Since Mr. said so, I have the audacity to accept the old dragon."

"It's just that this article is a famous article through the ages, and it was written by Mr. himself. It is extremely precious. It is only a set of four treasures of the study, but the old dragon took advantage of it."

"The old dragon was in a hurry to go out today. He didn't bring too many things. He just took a few pieces of precious jade and two bright pearls. Although these two things are not one ten thousandth of the previous masterpiece, they are also a wish of the old dragon. I hope that Mr. Take it."

Jinghe Dragon King carefully put away the copybook, then took out six pieces of pure white jade and two fist-sized luminous pearls from his pocket, put them on the stone table, and said with a face of shame.

Chen Qi looked at the jade and orbs on the stone table, and then turned his head to listen to the embarrassing words of the Dragon King of Jinghe.

The word "handy" is really good.

Although Chen Qi didn't know much about jade and orbs, but not knowing that didn't mean he was blind.

Seeing the blinding aura on the jade discs and orbs in front of him, he knew how valuable these jade discs and orbs were.

"What does the Dragon King mean by this? Don't you think that Chen is a greedy person who loves money?"

Chen Qi frowned and said in a deep voice.

Although he is greedy for money, he is not greedy. He knows very well that although his copybooks can be sold for a good price, they are far inferior to the few treasures that the Dragon King of Jinghe brought out.

Not to mention, with these pieces of jade and orbs, will the Dragon King of Jinghe underestimate him?

It's hard to get over it just by shutting down one's own heart.

Of course, if it's just a piece of jade, or a precious pearl.

Then it's okay, because Chen Qi is confident that his work can still be worth the price, at most the selling price is a little higher.

Now that there are six pieces of jade and two jewels, they cannot be accepted.

Because there are too many.

This matter may sound difficult to understand, after all, you are waiting for the Dragon King of Jinghe in order to make a lot of money.

As a result, the Dragon King of Renjinghe bought your calligraphy and paintings, and you don’t give them too much. Isn’t this a disease?

However, Chen Qi doesn't think so, because he also has his own bottom line.

For example, you painted a painting, and the market estimate is one hundred yuan.

Then Bieyuan is willing to spend [-] or [-] to buy your paintings, you may be very happy, and feel that when you meet Bole, others really like your paintings.

However, if someone pays 100 million to buy your calligraphy and painting with a market price of [-], how would you react?

Can you still sell the painting to the other party with peace of mind?

I'm afraid that if others give you money, you won't dare to sell it.

In addition, if your calligraphy and painting are sold for a thousand times the price from this person, will you be willing to sell it to someone else at a price of one hundred next time?

Do you still expect that person to spend 100 million to buy your calligraphy and painting?

In this way, you will unknowingly expect and depend on that person, and will accept other people's charity with peace of mind.

Such consequences are undoubtedly very dire 0......

It was true that Chen Qi had plotted against the Dragon King of Jinghe, and it was true that he wanted to get a fortune from him, but he didn't want to use this method.

If you take too much, you will invisibly owe the Jinghe Dragon King's favor. This is undoubtedly the result that Chen Qi does not want to see.

Compared to Jinghe Dragon King buying his calligraphy and painting at a super high price of ten times and a hundred times, he would rather achieve his goal by stealing, cheating, conspiracy and tricks.

Because, even if he stole, robbed and plotted against the Dragon King of Jinghe, he could feel at ease, and this was his own labor income.

He may be guilty, but he will not owe the Dragon King of Jinghe a favor, let alone feel inferior to the Dragon King of Jinghe.

Therefore, facing the temptation of jade bi and orb, Chen Qi directly chose to refuse.

It is said that people are old and smart, and the Dragon King of Jinghe can be described as old and smart. He only took a look at Chen Qi, and guessed Chen Qi's thoughts in a strange way, and immediately apologized: "Sir, don't Misunderstanding, please listen to the old dragon speak slowly!"

"If it is the articles of other Confucian scholars, even if it is a first-grade great Confucian article in the realm of the unity of man and nature, it is nothing more than ten thousand taels of red gold. I will give the old dragon a Yeming Pearl."

"However, Mr.'s article is not only a masterpiece handed down from generation to generation, but also compatible with our dragon clan. For this alone, it is worth one hundred thousand gold, and it cannot be exchanged for treasure."

"Old Dragon, I also know that Mr. has a noble character. He doesn't like yellow and white vulgar things. He dare not stain Mr.'s eyes with gold and silver, so I offer jade and precious pearls."

"Although these items are less than one ten-thousandth of Mr.'s articles, they are still the wishes of the old dragon. I hope you will accept them."
