Chapter 41: The Prodigal Son Turns Back (2)
When they walked into the cave, there was a cave inside, and it turned out to be a luxurious and spacious palace. A stout man was already waiting with his hands tied. There was also a tiger covered in black stripes lying beside him.
"The little god doesn't know that the big immortal has arrived, and he has missed the distance and offended. When he saw Ah Feng coming in, he took a few quick steps and said while bending down to give a salute.
"The general doesn't have to be polite, we have taken the liberty to visit, and please atone for our sins. Ah Feng politely returned the salute.
Meng Xingyuan vaguely felt that this person had a fierce aura like a tiger and a leopard, and it was indeed a leopard cultivator. His mount was a black-spotted tiger, Meng Xingyuan remembered the beast chess he had played when he was a child, and the tiger ate the leopard. Thinking of this, he felt a little funny.
After a few people sat down, Shen Gongbao asked with a smiling face: "I don't know what Daxian has to do when he comes to my desolate deep sea today." ”
"This matter is not trivial, and I will no longer hide it from the general, please General Shen think about it carefully after listening to it. After speaking, Ah Feng told Shen Gongbao the ins and outs of the whole matter again.
After listening to Ah Feng's story, Shen Gongbao's face was bloodless and sweaty. After being silent for a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, for the sake of the world, I will give it to you." ”
As soon as Shen Gongbao's words fell, the black-spotted tiger under his feet jumped up violently, his face was full of murderous anger, and he glared at Ah Feng viciously. The big octopus, who was originally serving tea to Meng Xingyuan, also knocked over the teacup and shouted: "General, don't do it!"
"You guys go out!" Shen Gongbao blushed and scolded loudly.
"General, I can't help it......" The octopus pounced at the feet of Shen Gong Leopard, knelt on the ground, hugged Shen Gong Leopard's legs, and shed tears.
"Is my order useless?" Shen Gongbao slapped the table and smashed the heavy tabletop, "You all get me out!"
The octopus monster was in tears, and the black-spotted tiger went out step by step.
Meng Xingyuan couldn't believe that things would go so smoothly, he couldn't help but ask, "General Shengong, are you really sure you want to give us the 'guts' on you?"
"Don't be so ignorant, okay?General Shen's surname is Shen, why do you call General Shen?" Ah Feng was a little angry, and she stood up. Pointing at Meng Xingyuan, he asked.
Meng Xingyuan blushed and said embarrassedly, "Shen Gong doesn't ...... Isn't it a compound surname?"
"You are too ignorant," Ah Feng was speechless to him, "Shen's name is Leopard, Gong is an honorific title, so everyone calls the general Shen Gong Leopard." ”
"I see," Meng Xingyuan's face turned even redder, and he bowed deeply to Shen Gongbao, "General Shen, I am crude and ignorant, and I hope that the general will atone for his sins." ”
"Mr. Meng is polite," Shen Gongbao smiled miserably, "It doesn't matter what the surname is, anyway, this name has been despised in the world for thousands of years." ”
Meng Xingyuan realized that he had spoken too much, and he couldn't wait to give himself a slap in the face.
Shen Gongbao continued: "I know that in the eyes of the world, I am a traitor to Kunlun Mountain. As Jiang Ziya's junior brother, not only did I not help him, but because I was jealous that he had the power to become a god, I instigated people from all walks of life to become enemies with him. I helped to defend a tyrant, brought suffering to the people of the world, and also brought great resistance to the establishment of the Zhou Dynasty. The sentence after the break: Shen Gongbao's mouth - telling right and wrong, and nailed me to the pillar of shame forever. Even the appointment of me as the general of the water division and the guarding of the North Sea was thought to be punished. ”
Ah Feng wanted to say a few words to comfort Shen Gongbao, but he couldn't think of what to say for a while.
"Actually, I really regret what I did at that time, I really regret it!" Speaking of this, Shen Gongbao's tears could no longer be held back, "However, once I made a mistake, I hated it for thousands of years, and it has been a hundred years since I turned back." I've always wanted to make some atonement for my ridiculous behavior, and now I finally have a chance. ”
"But you're going to die. Ah Feng was moved by Shen Gongbao and shed tears.
"Compared to my heinous sins, this life is nothing. Shen Gongbao raised his hand and wiped the tears on his face.
Meng Xingyuan was also greatly moved, and hugged his fist at Shen Gongbao: "General Shen is lost and knows that he has returned, and he is very good." The so-called prodigal son does not change his money, and the world will definitely forgive the general. ”
"If I can really be forgiven, it can be regarded as my greatest wish. I died without regrets. Shen Gongbao shouted, "Come on, bring a knife!"
The door was slammed open, and a large group of strange sea tribes poured into the house. Meng Xingyuan could only see from the size that there were octopuses, starfish, crabs, turtles, etc., and the others were all unrecognizable.
They fell to their knees, prostrated themselves again and again, and wept bitterly:
"General, you must not do this. ”
"We all know how you have benefited the North Sea. ”
"Others don't understand the general, we do. ”
"We swear to follow the general!"
......
Suddenly, a shout interrupted their crying: "The Dragon King has arrived!"
Shen Gongbao wiped his face, tidied up his clothes, and walked out quickly to greet him. Ah Feng and Meng Xingyuan also followed.
Meng Xingyuan hid behind Ah Feng and took a sneak look, and saw that the Dragon King did not have a human body like the one on TV, with long horns, huge nostrils, and a dragon's beard. Standing in front of Meng Xingyuan was an ordinary middle-aged man, if he hadn't been wearing a golden crown and a yellow robe, no one would have thought that this was the "Dragon King" who was admired by thousands of people among the people.
"I don't know that Fairy Afeng is coming, and the old man is rude. The Dragon King ignored Shen Gongbao's salute to him, but stepped forward to greet Ah Feng.
"The old dragon king is polite. We take the liberty of bothering, and we should make amends. Ah Feng also smiled and said.
"Forgive the old man for being clumsy, this son is ......" The Dragon King looked at Meng Xingyuan and asked Ah Feng. He must have heard that Ah Feng was talking about "we", not "me".
"His name is Meng Xingyuan, and he is a person who is kind to me. ”
"It turned out to be my benefactor's kindness, rudeness, rudeness. The Dragon King looked Meng Xingyuan up and down for a while before saying a kind word.
"This benevolent prince of mine is a disciple of the Bodhisattva King Jizo. Seeing that the Dragon King had such an attitude, Ah Feng hurriedly opened his mouth to give Meng Xingyuan a long face.
Sure enough, the Dragon King's expression changed: "Meng Gongzi is a Bodhisattva, he can really be described as a hero and a young man!"
Meng Xingyuan's face flushed, he didn't know what to say, he could only smile awkwardly all the time.
Ah Feng didn't know when he wanted to greet him, so he took the initiative to say, "Old Dragon King, can you take a step to speak." ”
"General Shen waited again, and the others dispersed. After speaking, the Dragon King took Ah Feng and Meng Xingyuan to a small room alone.
Ah Feng told the Dragon King the reason for coming here this time.
After hearing this, the dragon king paced around the room for a long time before he said, "Is there really no other way?"
Lu Yue and Lu Daxian said that there was only one way. Ah Feng said bitterly.
The Dragon King stopped and said heavily, "Although General Shen originally had a bad reputation in the eyes of the world. However, since he became the general of the water, the prodigal son turned back and really did a lot of good things for the people and fishermen here. For thousands of years, this area has been in good weather, and there have been few fishermen in distress, and the sea clan demons have not dared to approach - all thanks to General Shen. People even erected a statue of him in the temple of the Dragon King. Even if he turned over his mistakes, thousands of years of credit can be offset by the credit, right? Moreover, you have just seen with your own eyes how much his soldiers love him. Will a villain who has done many evils and does not repent be treated like this? If you take away his 'guts', General Shen will definitely die. Ah Feng Fairy, Meng Gongzi, I beg the two of you for the sake of General Shen who has repented, for the sake of my Beihai clan and the people in this area, plus a little bit of old and thin noodles, let General Shen go. With that, the dragon king was about to kneel.
"Old Dragon King, you can't do it. Ah Feng and Meng Xingyuan supported him together.
"Of course, we can't ignore the people of the world. The Dragon King straightened up and continued, "Although there are not many rare treasures and rare herbs in my Dragon Palace, they are not too few. The two of them can take it at will, visit all kinds of immortals, refine elixir, and save the people of Dawn from danger. I just ask you not to embarrass General Shen, is that okay?"
The Dragon King said such things, and Ah Feng and Meng Xingyuan were also embarrassed. On the one hand, Meng Po and the people of the world, on the other hand, Shen Gongbao, who is deeply loved and praised by the upper and lower levels, and the old dragon king who is begging bitterly. How exactly should they choose?
