Wu Yugang was stunned by the lightning in front of him. After all, the dragon had just transformed into its true form, was it displaying its abilities
After a quick inspection, he could not help but feel infinite compassion in his heart. He saw a thunderbolt coming down from the sky. It broke through the gloomy sky and directly struck the dragon that had just revealed its spirit. The dragon struggled painfully under the thunderbolt. Its body quickly curled up into a ball and howled in pain.
Wu Yugang took a closer look and saw that the dragon's body was charred black where it was hit by the thunderbolt. Many parts of its body had been blasted apart by the thunderbolt, and it was burned to ashes.
The seriously injured dragon twisted its huge body in pain on the dragon-trapping pillar, and its tail, like a sharp weapon, lashed the surrounding stone walls in pain. Huge rocks kept rolling down under the dragon's beating and fell into the deep valley under the cliff.
The dragon's painful howl echoed in the valley, and people could not help but feel infinite pain in their hearts. If they had not seen it with their own eyes, they would have felt infinite pity for it, hating the cruelty of war and the ruthlessness of the clan.
However, things are not always as people imagine. Everything has its causes and consequences. This dragon is also the same. If you practice in a quiet place, you will not necessarily encounter such an experience, and you may also achieve the great way.
Things went against one's will. People in the secular world were also bewitched by the desires of wine, sex, money and power. How could they see through this? Moreover, this dragon was born against the will of heaven. Its mighty power in the battle for the spiritual energy of the gods between heaven and earth was rare in the world. Even the Dragon King was difficult to defeat with its tyrannical state.
How can those creatures that can surpass the true gods be accepted by the secular world! However, this often leads to one generation being inferior to the previous one. Therefore, the gods of heaven came up with the heaven-defying rules for achieving true gods. However, how easy is it to defy the heavens!
Wu Yugang saw the dragon in pain and felt a little sorry for it. After all, he was a descendant of the dragon clan and had experienced a thousand years of cultivation. If he survived this calamity, he could dominate the world. But the difficulty of the heavenly calamity. It was not destined to happen and could not be forced.
Suddenly, a flash of lightning came down from the sky like Pangu's axe, tearing a crack in the gloomy sky. The lightning suddenly struck the dragon that was struggling and wailing in pain.
The dragon wanted to dodge the lightning when it saw it coming. After all, survival is the instinct of living things. But its huge body was tied tightly to the stone pillar by chains, and it was difficult to move. The lightning was also ruthless, like a sharp knife, tearing the dragon in half. The huge dragon was also forcibly split into two parts from the middle of its two heads.
Such a tragic scene was truly horrible to behold. Wu Yugang unconsciously turned around and covered his face. He felt a little sad for the death of the dragon.
The Yangtze River Dragon God beside him also felt indescribable surprise and psychological fear. After all, this dragon beheading platform was used to behead dragons. The tragic scene was so fierce that the Dragon King was extremely frightened, even though he had never violated the rules. He also avoided this place of execution for beheading his own kind.
Seeing Wu Yugang's compassion, the dragon god also felt a little pity. But after all, this dragon had violated the rules of heaven and was not tolerated by the dragon clan. Pity was useless.
The Dragon King said to Wu Yugang, "Thank you for your help. I wonder where the little boy has gone!"
At this time, Wu Yugang heard the question from the Dragon King and felt that he had lost his composure. He turned around and said to the Dragon King: "Don't be polite. I just passed by here and was afraid that you would be injured by the dragon, so I had to help you. It's really not worth mentioning!"
The old Dragon King heard Wu Yuguang's answer and nodded.
Wu Yugang looked at the dragon's body that had been burned black by thunderbolt and split in half, and said to the Dragon King: "I wanted to visit my good friend, but I took the wrong road and don't know where to go!"
When the old Dragon King heard this, he hurriedly asked, "Where do you want to go? I can show you the way."
After all, the old dragon king had been helped by Wu Yugang to lead the dragon to the dragon-slaying platform. It was a small favor, and he could still thank this chivalrous man.
Wu Yugang said: "I want to go find the Fighting Buddha in Huaguo Mountain, but I don't know where to go!"
When the old Dragon King heard what Wu Yugang said, he sighed and said, "Ah! What a coincidence. You asked the right person!"
Wu Yugang was surprised and happy. After all, he only knew where the Monkey King lived from his sister. But it was not easy to find the Monkey King who had already become a Buddha. It was good that the old Dragon King asked the right person, but he didn't know why the Dragon King sighed.
The old Dragon King said, "Since Sun Wukong was suppressed under the Flower-Fruit Mountain, the Flower-Fruit Mountain has begun to decline. This is all because of the disturbance caused by Sun Wukong in the Heavenly Palace. The Flower-Fruit Mountain is no longer what it used to be!"
Wu Yugang asked in amazement: "Where exactly is the Flower-Fruit Mountain, and why has it changed so much?"
The old Dragon King said, "That Monkey King caused a big disturbance in the Heavenly Palace and seized the Peach Festival. He brought back a lot of fairy fruits and fine wine. The monkeys who ate them all became immortal. When the hunters on earth heard about this, they went up the mountain to catch the monkeys that could live forever. They dug out their hearts and livers and ate their brains as medicine for immortality. Most of the monkeys were killed long ago. Although Sun Wukong has magical powers, he has become a Buddha after all, so he cannot kill people without restraint. He cannot avenge the monkeys that were hunted. Therefore, he is depressed all day long!"
Wu Yugang listened to the old dragon king's story and felt that this Fighting Buddha made people feel a little pity. This Fighting Buddha looked mighty and laughed all the time. But no one knew the pain in his heart.
The old Dragon King said, "Since Sun Wukong attained enlightenment and became a Buddha, he has taken away many monkeys from the Flower-Fruit Mountain."
Wu Yugang asked: "Where did Sun Wukong take those monkeys?"
The old Dragon King said, "This is also a secret of heaven. However, you are not an outsider. I can tell you a little about this mystery!"
Wu Yugang nodded silently, thinking to himself: If I hadn't met this Dragon God, I might have had a hard time finding my senior brother. It's okay to listen to it for now.
The old Dragon King said, "This Fighting and Victory Buddha was originally one of the thirty-five Buddhas in the Western Paradise. It was only because he had not gotten rid of his selfishness that the Buddha taught him to repent and overcome his selfishness, so he was named Fighting and Victory Buddha. However, is there anyone in this world who is free of selfishness?"
Wu Yugang said: "That's true. Even the heavens are selfish, let alone the human world!"
The old dragon king looked at the fearless cultivator in front of him and could not help but feel respect. However, since he was in the position of dragon god, many words were hard to express.
Wu Yugang suddenly asked: "Then where is the selfishness of this Fighting Buddha? Is there something unspeakable?"
The old Dragon King laughed loudly when he heard this. He said to Wu Yugang, "This selfishness and distracting thoughts are also reflected. Come and see."
The old dragon king said this, pointing to the deep valley in the distance. (To be continued)
