"This is the third type." The great sage became more careful when he spoke, "The disciple suspects that he is a true Buddha and Bodhisattva who fell here, waiting for the master to come and solve a difficult problem."
Xiao Bailong also paused and said: "Only in this way can we explain why this evil way only harmed the king of the country, but did not dare to commit any more crimes. Instead, he handled the country's affairs conscientiously and diligently for three years. In addition,
His magical power is so great that even some ministers who were originally lazy and lazy had to cheer up."
The Great Sage continued what Xiao Bailong said: "Master, maybe the king's failure to file a complaint in the underworld is not because Quanzhen himself is powerful, but because the person behind him is extravagantly covering up."
"Senior Brother, what you said is wrong. From my point of view, I'm afraid it's normal." Xiao Bailong said with a smile: "This monster has never done any evil in the future. Perhaps the person behind him knew that the master was powerful and had already given instructions in advance when he was released.
, tell him not to harm others at will, otherwise when he is saved by Master... he will not be able to show up to save him."
The Great Sage suddenly said in a low voice: "Master, the soul of the king of the country was returned by Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. Could it be Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva?"
"No." Fahai shook his head and said to his two disciples: "That's all for now. Who is it... We will find out tomorrow. You two should get the body of the king now."
"Master, his body has been soaked in water for three years. I'm afraid he would have died long ago."
"If it's true as you said, it's really someone who sent it deliberately. The king's body must be fine. We just need to get it first... If there is any problem, let's talk about it later."
In fact, Fahai had already anticipated this when he first met the king and listened to his story about his experiences.
Demons use countless methods to harm people.
With the demonic skills described by the king's mouth, it was only a matter of seconds to turn the king's body into powder, but he pushed his body into the well, leaving such a big flaw.
.
If he hadn't kept it intentionally and waited for the soul to return, Fahai couldn't think of any other reason for the time being.
Especially the information obtained by Wukong and Xiao Bailong this time confirmed his thoughts. Once the body is retrieved, everything will become clearer.
...
After nightfall.
The Great Sage and Little Bailong entered the East Palace first and met the little prince.
Although the young prince had never met these two elders, he heard that they were disciples of Master Tripitaka, so he naturally treated them with courtesy and pointed out the general direction of the Royal Garden and the Octagonal Well, which he had visited when he was young three years ago.
He only remembered roughly where it was in the imperial garden.
The young prince wanted to go with him, but he was also afraid that something might happen if his whereabouts were revealed.
The Great Sage turned his eyes and said with a smile: "If Your Highness the Crown Prince wants to go, I, the old grandson, will take you there, but... I will have to embarrass you for a while."
"Am I really able to go?" The prince looked happy, "It doesn't matter if you have a few grievances, elders, just come."
The Great Sage stretched out his hand and pointed at the little prince, and whispered: "Change!"
Then he blew out a breath of fairy air——
As soon as this immortal energy surrounded the little prince, a change occurred. The originally good-looking person was actually reduced to the size of a thumb by the great sage's magical power.
When the little prince was still on the ground exclaiming, he saw the great sage waving to him again, saying repeatedly: "Come, come, come -"
The little prince with a big thumb rose out of thin air from the ground and fell into the palm of the great sage. The great sage fiddled with him twice, then plucked out a hair with his other hand and blew it away in one breath.
He turned to the couch and said again: "Change~"
Then he saw another prince lying on the bed.
The prince in the palm of his hand was still marveling at the great sage's magical power, and then he heard the great sage laugh and say: "If you go like this, you will be safe."
The Great Sage looked at the little prince who was held in his palm, and suddenly remembered that he fell into the palm of the Tathagata like this... At this moment, he felt a little bit, and seemed to understand a little bit about himself.
Why couldn't it be turned out of his palm?
At this moment, I could hear two drums at the top of the building. It was already the second watch. At this time, people were sleeping soundly.
He ran to Zhengyang Gate, but turned to the head of Houzai Gate. He only heard the ringing of bells. In addition to the alarm bell on the door, there were guards keeping watch at night.
If he were an ordinary person, he would naturally retreat when he saw that the door was blocked, but who are the Great Sage and Little White Dragon?
How can a high wall stop them?
Just in case, the two men took the little prince flying in the air and hid his figure. The little prince pointed the way in mid-air. After a while, they saw a gatehouse with three eaves and white clusters, with three bright big characters on it.
, reflecting the light of the stars and moon, is the imperial garden.
They did not leave the door, but fell directly into the imperial garden from mid-air. This garden had been sealed for three years, and just now they saw several layers of seals on the door.
The three of them fell into the imperial garden and looked at this dilapidated scene through the moonlight, with mixed feelings and different tastes.
What you see: the painted railings are in a state of disarray, the pavilions and pavilions are crooked, the beautiful rocks and mountains have collapsed, the ponds have dried up and the fish are dying.
But at this moment, they didn't have the time to feel sad about these scenes. The Great Sage and Little White Dragon were looking for the octagonal well. They remembered what Master said that after the king fell into the well, the mouth of the well was covered with stone slabs and covered with banana leaves.
After seeing his whereabouts... the great sage stood up again, using a pair of flaming eyes that dimly lit up at night, and soon found the direction of Basho.
This banana is different from other dry and messy flowers and trees. It grows lushly and completely covers the lower part.
After the Great Sage landed, he called out to Little White Dragon, "Junior brother, handle this banana tree carefully."
The two brothers carefully handled the banana tree and saw a stone slab covering a well. "This is it, I found it!"
The great sage put the little prince aside and cast a spell to restore him to human size. At the moment when the great sage cast the spell, the little white dragon had already opened the stone slab, and saw a scorching glow and a clear white air. The little prince thought it was something.
Honey, when I took a closer look, I realized that it was the light of the stars and the moon that made the water in the well shine.
The little prince didn't care about the scenery at this moment. He only looked at the bottomless well water with a worried expression: "Elder, I don't know how deep the well water is. How can I find my father's body?"
"Do you know why my master sent me, my little junior brother, to come with you?" The Great Sage pointed to the little white dragon beside him and said to the little prince: "You mortal emperors always like to describe yourself as the real dragon emperor...such as
I told you to see what a real dragon is, little junior brother, thank you for your work."
When the little white dragon saw the elder brother's support, he was not polite and directly manifested the white dragon's true form, the size of a human being, and said to the great sage: "You can come as you go!"
After the words fell, he jumped into the water. The real dragon entered the water without splashing at all, but only a few ripples rippled on the surface of the water.
"scare!"
When the young prince saw Ao Lie, he turned into a white dragon and could speak human words. If the great sage had quick eyes and quick hands, he would grab him by the back of the neck and almost scare him, causing him to fall upside down and fall into the well.
"Dragon...Dragon...!"
"What a fuss." The great sage said to the prince: "My old junior brother, Sun, is the third prince of the Dragon King of the West Sea. It's just a trivial matter like going down a well to find a corpse. It's easy to catch. You can just rest assured and wait for your father.
Just a corpse."
to be honest.
Letting Xiao Bailong go down the well to look for corpses is indeed overkill.
But the little white dragon dived all the way down the well, but he couldn't find the bottom. The little white dragon thought that there was something strange in the well, so he went down a few minutes, and suddenly he saw an archway in front of him, with three crystal palaces on it.
At this word, Xiao Bailong stopped, stunned for a moment, and then said: "This is originally a big well connected to dark water, no wonder it is so deep."
Just then, a Yaksha patrolling the water opened the door. When he saw the little white dragon, he knelt down on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly.
It is also the little white dragon who still looks like a white dragon and has never turned into a human form. When the Yaksha in the well saw the Dragon Prince from the Dragon Clan of the Four Seas, his blood was naturally suppressed. He bowed his head and worshiped.
The little white dragon restrained his dragon power a little, turned into a human form, and said: "Call your dragon king out."
"Old Long pays homage to His Royal Highness Prince Jade Dragon."
There was no need for Yaksha to go in and call for help. There was already an old dragon walking out of the Crystal Palace. Although he was the King of Well Dragons, he also had the character "王" after all. He was considered knowledgeable and he would naturally recognize the royal family among the Dragon Clan of the Four Seas.
figure.
He paid his respects first, and the water tribes behind him also followed suit.
The dragon clan in the world is one family, but the dragon clan in the four seas is a large sect. Even if he is an old dragon in the well, he has the title of Dragon King, and he has to be polite when meeting the third prince of Xihai.
"No gift."
The so-called sparrow is small, but it has all the internal organs. As the Dragon King of the Well, although his Crystal Palace is more than a little shabby compared to the Dragon Kings of Jianghehuhai, it still has a lot of supporting facilities.
It was also the first time for Xiao Bailong to see the Crystal Palace of Jing Dragon King, and it was a bit novel. Looking at Jing Dragon King again, maybe this person's bloodline was a little thinner, and even though he had some relatives, he was also far away... Xiao Bailong
Bailong couldn't recognize who he was for a moment.
After the old dragon led all the water tribesmen to stand up, he quickly invited the little white dragon to come in: "Your Highness, please come in and talk to me."
"please."
"I heard that His Highness the Crown Prince was studying with Master Tripitaka from the West, but I didn't expect that we have reached the border of Baoji Kingdom now." The old Dragon King said with great enthusiasm, "Your Highness, please take a seat."
"I just came here yesterday." After Xiao Bailong took his seat, he asked, "How many days and months has the Dragon King been here?"
"Your Majesty, you don't know that I am an old criminal. Twenty years ago, the Lord of the Wuji Kingdom founded the country, built the imperial garden, dug wells, and dug underground rivers... Therefore, the Jade Emperor took me out of the heavenly prison and placed me here.
Become the Dragon King of the Well in order to reduce your merits and offences."
"Your Highness is here just for the Lord of the Black Chicken Kingdom?" King Jing Long suddenly looked at Xiao Bai Long, guessing his purpose of coming.
"Master has obtained the soul of the Lord of the Black Chicken Kingdom and knew that his body fell into this well, so he sent me to get it. The Dragon King said this...could it be that the body of the Lord of the Black Chicken Kingdom is in your hands?"
The old Dragon King nodded repeatedly and said, "I am right here. Your Highness, please come with me."
The old dragon king led the way, and the little white dragon followed behind. He turned around and passed the Crystal Palace. He saw a six-foot-long body lying under the corridor. The little white dragon stepped forward to take a look and saw that he was wearing a sky-high crown and an ocher yellow dress.
He is wearing a robe, wearing worry-free shoes, and wearing a blue field belt. He is the leader of the Wuji Kingdom.
