"Dragon Scripture?
This name sounds familiar. "
After thinking for a while, I remembered that according to historical records, the Qing Emperor Kangxi, with the encouragement of his grandmother, the Borjigit Clan, had issued an edict to copy the Tibetan Buddhist scripture of the Ming Dynasty, 'Ganjur', in Tibetan language. It prayed for Buddha's grace to be spread far and wide, for the country to be prosperous and the people to live in peace.
It was said that the "Dragon Scripture" contained 1100 Tibetan Buddhist scriptures, which were divided into 108 volumes. They symbolized the 108 kinds of troubles that could be cured.
For Buddhists, the power of the scripture was amazing.
It was said that those who were fated to read the entire set of scriptures would be blessed with seven lives of peace.
Although I had heard of this scripture, I had never heard that it could help a scale worm to transform into a real dragon.
Even if this scripture could help a person transform into a real dragon, where could I find a scale worm?
As soon as this question popped up in my mind, I understood it immediately.
Apparently, Ajia Hotogtu wanted me to give this scripture to the serpent spirit so that he could transform into a real dragon after comprehending it.
After thinking it through, I felt a chill in my heart. I stood up, stared at Ajia Hotogtu, and asked coldly, "Who are you? Why do you know so much about me?"
Seeing my reaction, he was stunned for a moment. Then, he put his palms together and said, "Almsgiver Zhou, please don't be angry.
Since I have something to ask of you, I'll be well prepared. "
Although Ajia Hotogtu's words were unpleasant to the ears, they were reasonable.
Since it was just a business deal, I didn't have to be so serious. After we get what we need, we don't have to meet again.
After staying silent for a while, I calmed down and sat down again. After thinking for a while, I asked, "Master, can I have a look at the" Dragon Scripture "first?"
I wanted to verify whether what he said was true or not.
Although I had only read a few scriptures, I might not be able to recognize the "Dragon Scripture".
However, since he said that this scripture contained great power, I might as well have a look at it.
After hearing what I said, Ajia Hotogtu seemed to understand. He told me that the "Dragon Scripture" was an important treasure of the Tal Temple. Only the Temple Master knew where it was kept.
He signaled us to wait here for a while and said that he would come back soon.
I nodded, claiming it was natural.
After he left, only the fatty and I were left in the room.
Seeing that I hadn't spoken for a long time, he felt a little annoyed. He came to me and asked, "Third Baby, do you think we should believe this old monk?"
Whether I believed it or not, it was still a shortcut to finding the True Dragon Bone. For the sake of Wuyue and Lao Ai, I had to give it a try no matter what.
Seeing that I had made up my mind, the fatty didn't say anything else.
Half an hour later, Agia Hotogtu finally returned with a wooden box in his hand.
When he arrived in front of us, he thanked us for waiting.
Then, he opened the wooden box and handed it to me.
Inside the wooden box, there was only a silk scroll and nothing else.
I was a little confused. Is this the Dragon Scripture that Aga Hotogtu mentioned?
I didn't reach out to receive it, but looked at Ajia Hotogtu and asked, "Master, are you trying to trick me? Although I don't know many scriptures, I know what the Dragon Scripture looks like.
How can it be as simple as a silk scroll? "
After hearing my words, Aga Hotogtu didn't seem surprised at all. Instead, he smiled and said, "Benefactor Zhou, you don't know.
The Dragon Scripture that you know is no different from an ordinary scripture, but the one in my hand has great power. "
After saying that, he gently placed the wooden box on the table and took out the silk scroll. He slowly opened it and signaled me to have a look.
When he opened the silk scroll, I felt a wave of energy.
However, the wave was very weak. If I didn't carefully examine it, I wouldn't be able to detect it.
Because of this, I somewhat believed what he said.
However, when I looked at the silk scroll, I didn't see any words on it.
There was not a single word on the cloth, but the flowing light on it was very eye-catching.
This scene reminded me of the time when I was in the underground palace under the Langya platform. There was also a wordless silk scroll under the Imperial Seal.
At that time, I pressed the Imperial Seal on the seal and poured the True Dragon Qi into it. Only then did the words on the silk scroll appear.
This silk scroll didn't have a seal on it, but it could be opened in the same way.
Thinking of this, I moved the Taoist Qi in my body to my palm and pressed it on the silk scroll.
Instantly, a strong attractive force came from my palm.
I didn't panic, but quickly moved the Taoist Qi in my body and gathered it in my palm.
After a while, more than half of the Taoist Qi in my body had been consumed.
The attractive force also weakened a lot. It seemed that it was about to be full.
After three to five seconds, the attractive force finally disappeared.
In the blink of an eye, the silk scroll shone brightly and brightly, illuminating the whole meditation room.
The golden light was so dazzling that I didn't dare to look at it directly. After I relaxed a little, I turned my head to look at it.
There were some small golden words floating on the silk scroll. They were written in Sanskrit, which I didn't know.
While I was looking at it, the golden light suddenly disappeared, and the silk scroll returned to its original appearance.
I didn't expect that all this had happened in just a few seconds, and I hadn't read the scripture in detail.
Even so, I was sure that Aja Hotogtu didn't lie to me. This scripture was indeed a precious treasure.
At this moment, Aja Hotogtu said, "If Benefactor Zhou is willing to help me, I'll give this Dragon Scripture to you."
After saying that, he put the silk scroll back into the wooden box and handed it to me.
Of course, I was happy. However, Aja Hotogtu had mentioned that this Dragon Scripture was a precious treasure of the Tal Temple. If I took it, I would be taking advantage of him.
Thinking of this, I opened my mouth and said, "This 《Dragon Scripture》 is truly too precious. I really don't deserve it."
That Ajia Hotogtu seemed to understand what I was implying, and tried to persuade me, "Benefactor Zhou, you might not know this, but if you comprehend the entirety of the Dragon Scripture, its power will disappear, and the scripture will become nothing more than a piece of cloth."
In that case, it didn't make much difference whether I gave this scripture or not.
With this thought in mind, I stretched out my hand to receive the silk book and expressed my thanks.
Seeing me like this, Aja Hotogtu didn't hesitate. He immediately asked me when I could help him open the Clear Heaven Pagoda.
Seeing him so anxious, I was curious.
Previously, I heard him mention that when an eminent Buddhist monk passed away, he had to send it into the Clear Heaven Pagoda to turn it into a Buddha's sarira.
Could it be that a monk in the Tower Temple was about to reach the end of his lifespan?
With this in mind, I asked Aja Hotogtu about the situation.
Unexpectedly, after hearing my words, he sighed and replied, "To tell you the truth, I've been hearing Lord Buddha's voice in the past few days.
I think he won't be able to stay in the secular world for long. I'm lucky to have Benefactor Zhou's help, and I'll be able to fulfill my wish. "
After saying that, he stopped talking and stared at me with his bright eyes.
Seeing him like this, I really respected him. It seemed that everyone had to die since ancient times.
Since he was trying to persuade me, I didn't say anything else, so I signaled that we could start at any time.
But before that, I still needed to make some preparations.
Aja Hotogtu stood up, put his palms together, and bowed to me. "I'll have to trouble Benefactor Zhou for everything."
I didn't say anything more and told him what he needed to do first.
After that, Aja Hotogtu excused himself and left, saying that it was urgent and that he needed to make preparations immediately.
After he left, we didn't stay in the meditation room for long, so we went back to the courtyard where we were staying.
After returning to the room, I summoned the serpent spirit.
As soon as he appeared, he had a listless look on his face. He kept complaining that I had disturbed his sweet dream.
I didn't waste time talking to him, so I directly told him that there was a good method that could help him transform into a real dragon.
As soon as I said that, the serpent spirit's body shook. He didn't look sleepy at all, so he quickly asked me what it was.
Seeing that he was so anxious, I took out the wooden box that contained the 'Dragon Scripture' and placed it in front of him. "There's a scripture inside. If you can completely comprehend it, you'll be able to transform into a real dragon."
Unexpectedly, as soon as the serpent spirit heard that there was a scripture in the box, he repeatedly shook his head and retreated. He thought that the bald donkey's scripture was too hard to understand. Just by looking at it, he would rather die than comprehend it, let alone comprehend it.
I had already expected that he would behave like that.
He had a stubborn character, so he was susceptible to coercion but not persuasion.
I didn't want to waste time talking to him, so I directly summoned Tong Tong.
As soon as the serpent spirit saw Tong Tong, he seemed to know what I was going to do. He hugged my arm and begged for mercy.
If it was an ordinary matter, I wouldn't have made things difficult for him.
However, the current situation wasn't ordinary, and he was the only one who could accomplish it.
Whether he could obtain the real dragon bone or not, it was directly related to Wuyue's life and death. I definitely wouldn't let the serpent spirit do as he wished.
Thinking to this point, I told him the whole story and emphasized that this matter was extremely beneficial to me, him, and Liu Ruxu and her husband.
After hearing what I said, the serpent spirit's attitude became much calmer. He sat at the side with his head lowered. He seemed to be weighing the pros and cons.
Fortunately, he wasn't unreasonable. After a while, he nodded and said that he could give it a try.
His words and actions showed that he was slightly hesitant. It was possible that he was hindered by my threats and promises that made him reluctantly agree to it.
However, with his current state, if I asked him to calm down and comprehend the Buddhist scripture, the effect would be minimal.
Thinking of this, I comforted the serpent spirit. "This matter isn't urgent. You should think about it first."
After saying that, I left the serpent spirit in the room and told him the method to open the 'Dragon Scripture'.
After that, I brought everyone out of the room. I planned to see how Aja Hotogtu was preparing.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I left the courtyard, I heard a dragon roar coming from behind.
The roar was very familiar. It was the roar of the serpent spirit after he transformed into his original form.
However, after the dragon roar, the serpent spirit's aura suddenly disappeared.
