Chapter 52 Novel Chapter 52 The Desperate Traveler

(Eight) From a traveler who was forced to flee to the end of the world, I became a spoiled guest of Dragon Palace. The Dragon King welcomed me into the Dragon Palace with a grand ceremony, and married the Dragon Girl to me. We live in a corner of the huge Dragon Palace, which is illuminated brilliantly by the night pearl.Usually, except for the serving servants, people in Dragon Palace try not to disturb us. Looking at my wife on the coral pillow of the crystal bed, I often think that even the goddess Shakuntara and the wife of Venus are not as beautiful as her.Her skin was so tender that the light from a night pearl would burn her, and her round breasts were like the heads of a pair of baby elephants playing in a pool.What satisfies me more than her beauty is her tenderness.She regards me as her master, she likes to be tactful and lingering, snuggling up to my knees, looking up at me, her eyes are full of admiration and gratitude.

There is a jade tree in the Dragon Palace, which is as thick as hugging, and the whole body is clear, only the center is light yellow, and the leaves are jasper.The flowers are all over the tree, and when they fall, they make a clanging sound. When you pick them up, they seem to be carved from agate, shining and very cute.I often linger under the tree with her, listening to the chirping of a few different birds on the tree. Everything is perfect. But I can't forget that this is Dragon Palace.Although the aquariums tried not to appear in front of my eyes, when I saw their strange shapes, I still couldn't help feeling nervous and disgusted.I can't help but wonder how many ghosts and ghosts are shadowing and shadowing in the dark pool water in the corner where we live, beyond the light of the moon pearl.

I miss Jiebi Luova and get stuck. Although I didn't say it, she understood what I was thinking when I was in a trance, and her expression was gloomy.I stroked her hair and remained silent for a long time. "Come with me?" She hesitated to speak. The Dragon King suddenly came here.The man I saw was a majestic and kind old man - so what if I don't know his real shape? He said to me: "I cherish my little girl, please don't leave this place to travel far away, even if you leave the Dragon Palace, choose to live nearby. I will let you have a vast territory, be called the king, and lead the subjects, and continue you from generation to generation. kingdom."

I was surprised and delighted: "This is beyond my imagination." The Dragon King nodded, took out a radiant sword, put it in a V box, covered it with the precious Baijia unique to the Dragon Palace, and handed it to me. "Go to see the king of Uzhana. When the king sees people from afar come to pay tribute, he will definitely receive you in person. Stabbing him to death with a sword, usurping the throne and occupying his country, wouldn't it be great?" I took the sword, feeling a little confused in my heart.Is this too dishonorable?However…… I raised my sword high, and said to the guards who rushed up: "The treasure of the Dragon Palace, taught by the dragon, beheaded and refused!"

They were afraid of my prowess and all prostrated themselves on the ground. I looked up to the sky and laughed. Everything is settled.I prepared the guard of honor, returned to the Dragon Palace to report my order, welcomed my dear wife, and lived happily in the Uzhana Palace. (Nine) This secret has haunted us for a long time. Although I have become a human being, my bad karma has not been exhausted.Whenever I am so happy that I lose my mind, a dragon's head will protrude from the top of my head. Although most of the time, I am human, a beautiful woman... But, think about it. When I woke up with a start, the dragon head retracted naturally.

At this time, he always stayed away from me, remained silent, with a very strange look on his face.My heart hurts like a knife. I leaned against him gently, and he stroked my skin but avoided my eyes. I feel bad for him.Why, why did God punish me like this? I can only compensate him with redoubled tenderness and tact. Occasionally I went back to the Dragon Palace to visit my relatives. My father saw me depressed and asked me what happened, but I could only force a smile on my face.How can I say this? My father looked at me worriedly: "Daughter, are you happy? Our biggest concern is whether you are happy."

"Father, happiness is a luxury. I can only say that I am not unhappy." I lowered my head and replied, "I have already got what I love. I am willing to bear any price." "So, what about him, what does he think?" Father's voice became a little harsh. "I don't know. All I can say is that he is not unhappy." I thought of many, many things... I couldn't help but feel a little strange, "He managed the kingdom very well, and the subjects respected him, so he was very satisfied." Father still looked at me.That day, when he took my hand up to the surface of the pool and went to meet him, he also looked at me like this.I buried my head lower.

(ten) I know I'm mean, I've had this thought for a long time. Yes, after I vowed to turn her into a human body, she became the most beautiful woman in the world.Since leaving the Dragon Palace, with the help of the Dragon King's divine power, I have easily obtained the throne of Uzhana.My country has good weather and good harvests.My queen was beautiful, and she bore me a lovely son.Everything seems to be working flawlessly. Except...that dragon head... I know that I owe everything to her now.I also know it's not her fault.Even she was full of guilt because of this, and made up for it with double tenderness.

But I'm still terrified, and disgusted.Time and time again, I tell myself to get used to it, to accept it, but it doesn't work. I put the Dragon Palace sword on the bedside. Finally one day, when we were happy, that ugly dragon head appeared in her happiness again.I couldn't bear it any longer, grabbed the sword, and chopped it off. She cried out in pain and looked at me in disbelief. I think the expression on my face must be a bit hideous. "Why, why did you do this?" She was bleeding profusely and looked frantic. "I can't take it anymore! I'm going crazy! Every time you see it, think how I feel! Get rid of it and everything will be fine, you're so perfect!"

"I know that you love my body, and you can't change your aversion to the dragon head." She said sadly, "But it and I are one and cannot be separated. You are always a noble saint, and I am always Humble dragon." I choked up and couldn't speak. "I will die." "No, tell me you won't, I just removed a burden." "As I said, it is inseparable from me. You cut it off with your own hands, and you ended my life with your own hands." She gasped, struggling in a pool of blood. I grabbed her hand in confusion and shook it violently: "No!"

"There's one thing... I haven't told you." Her pain seemed to have weakened with the passage of life, and the expression on her face gradually calmed down. "This secret has been on my mind for so many years, and I often toss and turn, anxious .” I looked at her in surprise. "Now, I can't say it." She struggled to sit up again and grabbed my arm.Her eyes were bigger and brighter than ever, full of unspeakable sadness and pity, "This is not some Uzhana palace." She signaled that I was surprised not to interrupt her, and continued: "Even if the dragon clan has powerful magic power, we can't disrupt people's lives at will, and we will suffer severe retribution. When you hated the dragon palace, my father took pity on me and used his Mana helped me form this illusion..." "What? What? Is this an illusion?" I yelled, "Impossible!" I looked up at the magnificent palace, where is the minister?What about soldiers?Where is the maid?What about the common people?Where have they all gone?This is of course the palace of the Uzhana Kingdom, and I am the king. "Yes, this is an illusion created by the great magic power of the dragon. After I die, the illusion will disappear." With the last of her strength, she said softly, "I don't want to deceive you, I just... I I just want you to be happy..." She gave me a deep look, then closed her eyes. I slumped to the ground.Not even enough time to hurt. In the distance, there was the roar of the waves, getting closer, getting closer. (eleven) I finally arrived on the fifteenth day after the World Honored One passed away. In the void, all the eight tribes were crying, and the tears gathered into a shower, which kept flowing down. "Which one of us will take refuge from now on is like a baby lost to a loving mother. The three evil ways will open up in just a few days, and the door to liberation will be closed. All sentient beings will sink into the sea of ​​suffering. It is like a sick man who is far away from a good doctor, and like a blind man who loses his home. Guidance. Now that we are going to the Supreme Dharma King, the thieves of troubles will be more and more invading." They chanted in unison. The Mahaka leaf has returned, and I will raise the fire for my own eyes.For seven days and seven nights, the treasure coffins were melted away, and the heavens rained to put out the fire and collect the relics. In order to compete for the relics, the eight kings almost had a fierce fight.Tu Luna said: "The World Honored One taught us to do compassionate things in Japan. How to fight for the relics after the World Honored One's Nirvana?" Before everyone else, I saluted respectfully and begged for the relics to be distributed. "The bastards who came from there, how honorable is the relic of the World Honored One, we will divide it up and decide, you should stop living in delusions!" The eight kings said together. "You dare to insult me! My father is a descendant of the Shakya tribe, and I should get a share of the relic!" I told the story of my parents to the public. Their contemptuous eyes stabbed me.My head hurts again.The hand holding the sword trembled endlessly. During the stalemate, Venerable Ananda came out with a dignified expression, and said to the eight kings: "Before the World Honored One passed away, he once told me that if a person who claimed to be King Uzhana's army came to ask for relics, he must share them. .” The heavens uttered praises, proving that what he said was true. The eight kings looked at each other.They finally agreed to share a share of the relic. I gratefully placed the relic on the white elephant decorated with seven treasures, bowed deeply to Venerable Ananda, and led the crowd. As soon as I went out, I suddenly found that the headache that had plagued me for many years was healed suddenly. (twelve) All the disciples watched the king of the army happily lead the white elephant and went out. Mahakassapa turned around and asked us: "Ananda, you claim to be the most knowledgeable, but do you know the reason why the king of the army asked for relics?" I said with shame: "I don't know." "Mulian, you are number one in supernatural powers, do you know the cause and effect of the king of the army asking for relics? "I don't know." "Shariputra, you are the most intelligent. Do you know the cause and effect of the king of the army asking for the relic?" "I don't know." At this time, Subhuti smiled slightly and said: "All conditioned dharmas are like dreams and bubbles, like dew or lightning, and should be viewed in this way. The Wuzhana country is located on the edge of the border, and all countries disdain to be juxtaposed with it. The king of the army is absurd. He often suffers from headaches. He regards himself as a descendant of the Sakya tribe, the son of the dragon girl. In fact, there are no sons of the fleeing saints, nor the daughter of the Dragon King of the Dragon Pool of Rambolu Mountain..." I was extremely surprised: "You mean, the World Honored One already knew...then why..." "The World Honored One has saved all sentient beings. How could you and I have such great compassion." Mahakasyapa said: "It is so, so it is. If the king of the army gets the relics as he wishes, if he can make offerings devoutly and promote my Dharma, it would not be a good thing." All the people present clasped together in admiration. (twelve) According to "Da Tang Western Regions Records", in the Dahe River, 60 to 70 miles southwest of Jieli City in Uzhana State, there is @淮波 (Buddhist Pagoda), more than 60 feet high, built by King Shangjun.By the side of the big river, there is a big stone shaped like an elephant.When the king of Shangjun came back with a big white elephant carrying relics on his back, when he got here, the elephant suddenly fell to the ground and died, turning into a stone.King Shangjun built a pagoda next to it. (13) According to the research of later generations, the legend about Shangjun Wang in "Da Tang Xiyu Ji" is not credible.In the Buddhist scriptures, there is no mention of Uzhana Kingdom in the Buddhist scriptures about Buddha's nirvana and the distribution of relics by the eight kings. Even the name Shangjun Wang has never appeared in the Buddhist scriptures.The story of the King of the Army and the Dragon Girl is obviously a myth. It was probably created by Buddhist believers in Uzhana, and was heard by Xuanzang when he traveled through the country. All conditioned dharmas return to impermanence October 2003
