Chapter 458: Taking advantage of True Monarch Erlang; not being disciplined by Fu Lingshan...
Compared to when they went to the west, their master and disciples were able to go back much faster this time.
Except for the seventy-five-day Uncensored Conference in Tianzhu, I hardly stayed in several other countries. It lasted for half a month at most and three to five days at least... to do a ritual and preach a scripture.
, it’s almost time to set off.
This day we arrived at the Blackwater River.
But it was the little dragon that rose up in the wind and blocked the return path of their master and disciple.
It's not that the little dragon is here alone. There is a woman beside him, who was the princess of Heishui River back then and is now the mistress of Heishui River.
It was also the Dragon King of the Jing River who was robbed, and the Heavenly Court was not implicated. With the help of the Dragon King of the West Sea, the little dragon could become a Dragon King in the Black Water River... Although the Black Water River is not very wide, it is a shelter at least.
Moreover, the little dragon's biggest gain this time was not the position of the Dragon King, but the good fortune to get to know the princess of the Black Water River, and they became a good match.
Now it was the two of them who had heard that Master Tripitaka had returned to the east, and that Master Tripitaka and his entourage were giving lectures in Chechi Kingdom, so they counted the time and waited on the Blackwater River in advance.
"Xiaolong has met the holy monk, the great sage...his cousin, and two elders."
After the little dragon and the princess saluted Master Tripitaka and the others, they said, "Finally we have welcomed you all. When the master left without saying goodbye, Xiaolong was really frightened."
"Amitabha."
Seeing that the princess was not dressing up as a woman, Fahai recited the Buddha's name first, and then said with a smile: "But you don't have to worry about this. It was a poor monk who was the matchmaker for you two, and the Dragon King of the West Sea said that you two decided to postpone the wedding.
, wait until the poor monk returns to the Tang Dynasty and passes by the Heishui River before officially getting married...is that right?"
The little dragon was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, and then he looked flattered. His expression suddenly became excited, his mouth opened and closed, and his hands couldn't help but dance up and down, as if it was difficult to speak for a moment -
The princess on the side stretched out her hand and patted the little dragon on the shoulder, and then "comforted" him. "Forgive me, holy monk. I can't bear the joy in my heart..."
"It doesn't matter."
Fahai waved his hand, this little dragon is a sweetheart, and he could tell it when he crossed the Blackwater River... Just looking at his current appearance, the little dragon is probably being manipulated by this princess.
Living.
"It's better to invite the holy monk and the elders to come in and rest for a while." The princess stretched out her hand and the black water river below parted, revealing a waterway.
"please."
After entering the water, I saw the palace in front of me. It was no longer the River God Water Mansion back then. Although it was only expanded on the original basis, the plaque today has been replaced by "Blackwater River Dragon Palace", which is more solemn and majestic than before.
Only the residence of the Dragon King can be named "Dragon Palace".
Even the Blackwater River has become more spiritual because of the existence of the little dragon. Among other things, the spiritual energy in the Blackwater River is definitely much higher than before, and the number of wise people born in the water tribe in the river is far higher than before.
As the saying goes, "If the mountain is not high, the immortal will be famous; if the water is not deep, the dragon will be spiritual." This is probably the case.
After entering the Dragon Palace and inviting Master Tripitaka and the elders to take their seats, the princess took Little Dragon's arm and thanked her very solemnly.
Fahai did not dodge, but accepted it calmly. After all, he was the matchmaker between the two of them. Not to mention this gift, he could still afford it with a few more bows.
After the little dragon and the princess took their seats, the great sage asked the princess, "Why don't you see your father?"
The princess quickly said: "A few years ago, there was a document from the Ministry of Water, and my father was transferred to heaven."
Bajie on the side listened and said: "It's not as comfortable in heaven as it is on earth... Does your father hold any position in the Ministry of Water Resources?"
After all, Bajie had the inheritance of Marshal Tianpeng. Marshal Tianpeng was in charge of the 80,000 Tianhe Navy in Heaven, and occasionally dealt with people from the Water Department.
"Served as the inspection captain under the transfer envoy of Xia Yuanshui Mansion."
The Great Sage smiled and said: "Young man, you are still a fat bastard!"
The princess waved her hands repeatedly and said: "Great Sage... you have also seen my father. With his temperament, he may not be able to fulfill his duties."
"Since you know it's hard to do the job, why don't you give me some advice?"
The princess was also helpless: "How can I persuade you to stop?"
The little dragon on the side was not happy, and said: "My father-in-law is rarely full of confidence. He wants to prove himself. Princess, don't always underestimate your father-in-law..."
Xiao Bailong signaled Xiao Taolong to stop talking, but asked the princess: "This is not quite right. Although the inspection captain under the transfer envoy of Shuifu is not high in rank, he has considerable power... Why?"
So you chose your father-in-law?"
The princess pondered for a moment and said: "I have inquired about you...and I am also in the favor of Zhenjun Erlang..."
The little dragon nodded, "Speaking of which, Erlang Zhenjun is also my third cousin-in-law... Isn't it normal for the people from the Ministry of Water to take care of my father-in-law? Besides, the patrolling captain is better than the Heishui River God.
The level of god is only half a level higher..."
After everyone heard this, they immediately understood... Calculating the time, this old river god was promoted probably just after Zhenjun Erlang officially took over as the God of Justice.
It was also true that Erlang Zhenjun himself was impeccable, so he followed Mrs. Yang's line and discovered the little dragon who worked in Heishui River.
Xiao Maolong himself is a dragon, and the Ministry of Water basically doesn't have to worry about promotion within the system... Naturally, he set his sights on Xiao Maolong's father-in-law.
Erlang Zhenjun is very strict with the law, so it is naturally inappropriate to overpromote him. Even if the Ministry of Water Resources buys it well, it does not dare to go too far, and this patrol officer is considered the best item among normal promotions.
Even if Erlang Zhenjun asked, there was absolutely nothing illegal in the procedure.
As he was talking, he saw some movement outside the door. Not long after, he saw the old river god entering the lobby. He didn't look very good, but he still pretended to be calm.
"Father, why are you back?"
Obviously, the old river god suddenly returned home, which was not what the princess expected.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The old river god smiled and said: "My father heard in heaven that the holy monk left Lingshan and was approaching our Heishui River soon, so he took a few days off... Now
It seems to be just the right time, I didn’t delay your wedding...I have met the holy monk, the great sage, the third prince...the two elders."
"Hahaha -" the little dragon laughed and said, "My father-in-law came at the right time, and the holy monks, masters and disciples also just arrived at the Black Water River."
Everyone present was a human spirit, and only the little dragon was careless and heartless, and did not notice anything unusual about the old river god... Maybe it was because of the occasion, but no one said it for a while, but they exchanged glances
Apparently a consensus has been reached.
Xiao Bailong smiled and said: "Just say that when I come, it will be your wedding day... I don't know everything related to it, but are you ready? I see that your Dragon Palace is dressed up now, but it doesn't look like a wedding hall.
.”
"Princess, you have always been in charge of this matter..." The little dragon actually plays more of a status role in Heishui River. The real one who has the final say in the Dragon Palace has always been this princess.
.
Even when the old river god was in power, the princess of the Blackwater River was the one who handled the affairs of the Water Mansion... The old river god stayed behind closed doors all day long, just practicing in seclusion.
Their masters and apprentices had already noticed this back then. If the temperament of the little dragon really was true, and without the help and guidance of the princess, it would be difficult to become the Water Dragon King well.
The princess also said to everyone: "I have discussed with Tao Lang that this wedding should be simple and not too public. I have also thought about it many times. As long as the specific time is set, it can be arranged in half a day.
It’s over...the only thing that’s a bit difficult is which guests to invite to the banquet.”
The little dragon quickly said: "The Dragon King of the Four Seas and the Dragon King Water God of the Four Rivers and Five Lakes are also included in the banquet... as well as the main god of the water department and a group of auxiliary gods..."
Having said this, Xiao Long paused and said: "But I still feel that it is not appropriate... so I decided not to invite so many people. Apart from the holy monks, masters and disciples, I am only going to invite my uncle, the Dragon King of the West Sea."
, eldest cousin, and several of Xiaolong’s brothers... Oh, and the third cousin from Guanjiangkou.”
"They are all members of our own family." Xiao Bailong nodded first, "That's fine."
The Heishui River is not big. If the little dragon's father, the Jinghe Dragon King, was still alive, he would have invited many guests to his wedding. In addition to those who belonged to the Water Department, the gods of the Thunder Department and the gods from the three mountains and five mountains were also there.
Invitation list.
After all, in addition to being in charge of the Jinghe River, the Dragon King of Jinghe is also the Great Dragon God of Siyu.
It's just that today is different from the past. The Dragon King of Jinghe broke the laws of nature and was pushed to the Dragon-Slaying Platform, where he died... The little dragon was blessed by the Dragon King of the West Sea and was what it is today. Naturally, he had to keep a low profile and restrain himself.
In fact, given the little dragon's temperament, he would never have thought of this... Even without the restraint of the Blackwater River Princess, with his reckless temperament, he might not know what he would do based on his relationship with his third cousin.
Things come up.
"Have the invitations been sent?"
"Because I haven't set a date, I haven't sent it off yet."
Hearing this, Xiao Bailong smiled and said: "Why don't you make a date today, and I'll go and see you off for you... It just so happens that I've been away from home for a long time, and it's time to go back and see my father... My cousins
I'll also stop by where my brother and third sister are."
The little dragon was not polite to this little cousin, and immediately said: "Thank you very much, cousin!"
"Well...the invitations are all ready, just fill in the date." The princess stood up and asked for instructions in the direction of her father: "Dad...it will be an auspicious day in five days, so why not set it in five days?"
."
"It's your arrangement." The old river god didn't have any objections or suggestions.
The princess went to get the invitation. The little dragon and the old river god were accompanying her in the lobby. Fahai said to the old river god: "When I first arrived at the Heishui River just now, I saw that there are several ferries built on both sides of the river, docked there.
There are many ships and even large and small passenger ships coming and going..."
"The holy monk doesn't know something." The old river god calmed down and said to Master Sanzang: "This Blackwater River originally separated Chechi and Wuji, but since the holy monk crossed the river, the two countries have also
They began to travel frequently and established diplomatic relations with the Tang Dynasty... These two ferries were established to facilitate travel between the two countries... Not far from the two sides of the Taiwan Strait, there is actually a post station on each side, and that station is the Tang Dynasty.
The postmen who built... the posthouses were all from the Tang Dynasty."
The Tang Dynasty was building inns all the way to the west. Fa Hai already knew about this when he returned to Chang'an last time. It is said that the Nawu Tibetan Kingdom was obstructing the implementation of this matter.
Tang territory.
"Holy Monk, do you want to go and have a look?" the old river god asked carefully.
Fa Hai clasped his hands together and said, "I wonder if I can ask the donor to be a guide?"
"The holy monk's words are serious. This is my honor."
After that, the two of them left the Dragon Palace, left the Blackwater River, and went ashore.
Not long after, the princess also prepared all the invitations and took them out... Xiao Bailong stepped forward to take the invitations, checked them carefully again, and after confirming that they were correct, he put the invitations away and said, "It's not too late."
, I’ll go deliver it right away.”
"I'm sorry for bothering you cousin, I'm very grateful."
"Papa!" Xiao Bailong patted Xiaomaolong on the shoulder and said with a smile: "If you don't speak the same language as one family, why are you so polite?"
The little white dragon transformed into a dragon body, walked out of the Black Water River, went straight up into the sky, soared through the clouds and mist, and returned to the West Sea in the blink of an eye.
West Sea Dragon Palace.
"Father, the third child is back." Ao Mo'ang, the eldest prince of the West Sea, who was playing chess with the Dragon King of the West Sea, felt something when the little white dragon first entered the sea.
Normally, Ao Moang always practices at the eye of the West Sea, following the seniors of the Dragon Clan who guard the eye. However, after the news that Tripitaka's masters and disciples were making trouble in Lingshan came out some time ago, he still couldn't calm down, so he stopped for the time being.
He stopped practicing, returned to the Dragon Palace, and waited quietly for the little white dragon to come back.
After all, the West Sea and Lingshan Mountain have always been close to each other. When the Bodhisattva came to the West Sea, he said that he wanted to ferry a dragon son into Lingshan Mountain and become the leader of the dragons among the eight celestial dragons of Buddhism... Originally Ao Moang wanted to stand up.
But as for who to choose, the Bodhisattva did not appoint a candidate on the spot. He just said: Just let nature take its course, and you will naturally know when the time comes.
Ever since Xiao Bailong burned down the wedding room and was forced to suffer under the Yingchou Stream, Ao Moang had roughly guessed that Xiao Bailong was the chosen dragon son. Then he heard that he had become a disciple of Master Tripitaka.
It has been confirmed.
only...
"I heard that Master Tripitaka was not rewarded by Lingshan." Ao Moang said to his father: "The leader of the dragons promised by the Bodhisattva... still seems to be uncertain."
The Dragon King of the West Sea dropped his son and said with a smile: "Do you know why the Bodhisattva did not allow you to enter Buddhism back then?"
Ao Moang thought for a while and said: "Because the child has a murderous nature and cannot be restrained by Buddhism."
The Dragon King of the West Sea nodded, "Actually, to put it simply, if you don't discipline Fulingshan..."
Ao Moang kept silent. What his father said made sense. It seems that he, the most qualified descendant among the Dragon Clan in the Four Seas, would never be willing to join Buddhism and become a monk... even if he is the so-called
The leader of the dragons.
The Bodhisattva saw through his thoughts directly, so he never considered him from beginning to end.
As for Xiao Bailong, maybe before he became a disciple of Master Tripitaka, his temperament should be more gentle... It is not unreasonable for the Bodhisattva to choose Xiao Bailong.
But who could have expected that there would be such a variable as Master Tripitaka?
"Father, big brother!"
Before Xiao Bailong's people arrived, the voice came first——
