In a short time, the horse showed off its fur, changed its head and horns, grew golden scales all over its body, gave birth to silver whiskers under its chin, and its four claws flew out of Hualong Pool and coiled around the blue sky watchpost in the mountain gate.
White Dragon Horse
A white horse walks through the Dragon Pool once and becomes a real dragon, which shows the effect of the Dragon Pool. Then the question comes, why does Buddhism want to open such a pool behind Lingshan, and what is his real purpose?
In fact, some details in Mr. Wu Cheng'en's book suggest that we can draw a conclusion with a little reasoning. Then "One Pot of Porridge" will show you the intention of Buddhism to do so.
Hualongchi
There is no doubt that Longchi is to transform other species into Jackie Chan. In Journey to the West, everyone thinks that the dragon is a declining race, and it is easy to be ravaged by others. For example, Yuan Shoucheng can bet with King Jinghe and win, and Wei Zhi can slay the Dragon King. Bai was beheaded by the jade emperor for breaking the dogma, and even there was an appetizer of "dragon liver and phoenix marrow" in the sky. Actually, it's not. A pot of porridge has been analyzed in detail in previous articles. Here, let me repeat one more point. The dragon is the totem of the Chinese nation, and the old gentleman Wu Cheng'en of the Ming Dynasty won't deny his status. In fact, dragons are ambitious, ambitious, and the reason why they sacrifice is purposeful. If you look closely, you will find that the descendants of King Jinghe have been assigned to promising departments in the three realms, and the Longfeng clan has always been neck and neck. Therefore, the status of dragons is not low.
Dapeng golden wing carving
Knowing the status of the dragon, let's take a look at what the Tathagata mentioned in the title has secretly raised. In fact, we know that the peacock, King Daming and Bodhisattva, is the mother of the Tathagata, while the Dapeng Golden Wing Carver and Peacock are both female compatriots and children of the Phoenix. Therefore, in terms of generations, Dapeng Golden Wing Carver is Tathagata's uncle. In fact, Dapeng Golden Wing Carving has been practicing in the Lingshan of Tathagata, and the practice position is behind the Lingshan.
According to Buddhist legend, this Dapeng golden wing carving eats dragons and has always been a big dragon eater. He eats 500 dragons and a dragon king a day. If he eats like this, the dragon will definitely protest. Tathagata's painstaking plan to learn from the scriptures was eventually destroyed by the dragon's opposition. Because the Buddhist scripture plan itself is to suppress Taoism and promote Buddhism, and Taoism is quite powerful, far less powerful than Buddhism. If it is to pass, Buddhism must draw more strength, and the bird has been drawn by the Tathagata by recognizing its mother. At this time, the dragon must not offend.
Dapeng golden wing carving
Moreover, the speed at which Dapeng golden wing carving eats dragons is amazing. What if we can satisfy Dapeng and Dragon? The Tathagata had to secretly develop a dragon pond in the back of Lingshan Mountain, transforming other species into dragons, and then using it for Dapeng Golden Wing Carving. Experiments show that the effect of Longchi is good, which not only meets the requirements of Dapeng golden wing carving, but also perfectly transforms other species into more advanced dragons, such as Bai being transformed into Babulongma.
Zhu Bajie
Therefore, Buddhism opened the Dragon Pool in Lingshan, mainly because the Tathagata secretly fed Dapeng golden wing carving. Dapeng did not live up to the Tathagata's request, completely wiped out the power of the lion camel king, then helped the Tathagata get together, and was finally named as the dharma protector of Buddhism. More interestingly, Tathagata asked him to eat the offerings of believers first, and then let the old pig eat the rest. I believe that Pig Bajie is also very reluctant.

Why did Guanyin Bodhisattva take off the dragon ball under Xiaobailong's neck is actually related to Hualong Pool. See you next time.
