Chapter 58: Chen Tang Pass

When Gu Weiqing and Qingxia returned to the hotel, there was a strange scene, Sun Wukong, Niu Xiangxiang, and Bai Jingjing looked very serious, as if they were talking about something. Gu Weiqing opened his mouth and said, "Why do you have a serious face. ”

The three of them found out that Qingxia and Gu Weiqing had returned to the hotel, and they were immediately panicked and at a loss, Gu Weiqing was a little curious, but he didn't care: "Is it that Miss Jingjing didn't go out to play today and sulk?" ”

Sun Wukong smiled awkwardly: "That's it, that's it." ”

Although the expressions of the three of them were different from usual, Gu Weiqing didn't care. Because when they were in Chang'an before, they often quarreled. When you quarrel, that's what it looks like. Gu Weiqing was not easy to mix in other people's housework, so he said: "Then you talk first, Zixia and I will go back to the room to rest." ”

"Well, you guys go to sleep first!" Sun Wukong said.

When Qingxia and Gu Weiqing left, only Sun Wukong and his two wives were left in the living room of the hotel, and I saw that Sun Wukong became extremely serious: "What happened just now, you can't mention a word in the future, you know?" ”

Bai Jingjing had never seen Sun Wukong so angry, but she still said: "If the plan fails in the future, isn't this a retreat?" ”

Sun Wukong was silent, seven years of life made him unable to think only about himself. Niu Xiangxiang thought for a while and then said: "Let's do it first, this plan is rotten in the stomach, and I will never mention it again until I have to." ”

In the living room of the inn, the dim candlelight shone on the faces of the three people, looking contradictory and gloomy. Sun Wukong stood up and said softly Go back to the room! Then he walked up to the candle and blew it out, and the whole house was plunged into darkness.

......

The group stayed in the town for ten days before they set out on their journey again. Along the way, I always go to a small town to rest and rest every few months. Find something delicious to eat.

I have traveled a lot, seen a lot of scenery, seen many people and things, and slowly realized the meaning of travel. Traveling is not a self-exile, nor is it a spiritual journey, but in traveling, you can feel what you can't encounter, you haven't seen, and you haven't heard of in ordinary life.

In this way, all the way to stop and stop, nine years passed, and everyone came to Chentangguan. Chentangguan has existed since the Shang and Zhou dynasties and has a history of more than 1,000 years. At the first glance of it, the ancient and heavy sense of history comes to the face, the bluestone city wall, whether you can see the moss, the style of the building, is also different from today. It is located in Youzhou, and to the east is the East China Sea.

Chen Tangguan was very famous in the previous life, and it is also famous in the current Tang Dynasty, Gu Weiqing heard about it when he was a child, and the reason why it is well-known comes from some folklore. But in this world, it is the history that took place in the real divine realm.

At the end of the Shang Dynasty, Li Jing served as the chief soldier of Chentangguan, and Nezha was the third son of Li Jing, the chief soldier of Chentangguan in the last years of the Yin Shang Dynasty, and the younger brother of Jin Zha and Mu Zha, who was reincarnated as a spirit bead. The mother, Mrs. Yin, was pregnant for three years and six months and gave birth to a meat ball. Li Jing thought it was a monster, so he split it with a sword, and the baby inside was Nezha.

The immortal Taiyi Zhenren came to congratulate him, accepted him as an apprentice, and named him "Nezha". Once Nezha was playing in the East China Sea and had a conflict with Ao Bing, the third son of the Dragon King of the East China Sea, not only killed him, but also drew his dragon tendons as a belt to give to Li Jing.

When the Dragon King of the East China Sea went to the Heavenly Palace, he was beaten by him at Baode Gate, and he grabbed forty or fifty pieces of scale armor, drenched in blood and embarrassed. He didn't care about this catastrophe of "destroying the door and destroying the household", and said lightly that it was due to "temporary impatience".

When the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas, Ao Guang, Ao Qin, Ao Yan, and Ao Shun jointly played the Jade Emperor to ask Li Jing and his wife for questioning, Nezha said: "One person acts and one person is responsible, I killed Ao Bing and Li Gen, I should pay for my life, how can there be a reason for a son to affect his parents!" In order not to tire his parents, he cut off his arm and abdomen, cut off his intestines and bones, and returned it to his parents. His filial piety touched the Dragon King, and Li Jing and his wife were pardoned.

But people with a background are good, he was reincarnated by Lingzhuzi, and he was recreated into a physical body by Taiyi Zhenren, and his soul entered the body and was resurrected. And the three sons of the Dragon King of the East China Sea died tragically, but they didn't even have a chance to see each other again.

And the reason why Gu Weiqing sent the second force here nine years ago was because he knew that in this world, this mythical story was true, so it was also true that Taiyi Zhenren had a Taoist technique that could reshape his body. Therefore, the purpose of sending two people to investigate is to find where Taiyi Zhenren's cave is.

Of course, he also learned to be smart. When he was looking for Princess Iron Fan's cave before, he guessed before he reasoned, but in the end, the second teaser actually knew. So he asked Sun Wukong and Doubi Erqiu, but they didn't know. So I can only shoot two people to inquire.

He thought that Taiyi Zhenren's cave was near Chentang Pass, but he didn't expect it to be in Dongsheng Shenzhou, which was across the sea. So it's normal for them not to know, but they don't know how the second force came to probe, and it looks like a lot of work should have been wasted.

After staying in the city for a few days, they sailed through the East China Sea to the Dongsheng Divine Continent. From time to time, seagulls can be seen flying in the blue sea, and schools of fish can be seen swimming from time to time in the clear waters. The people sat on the boat and listened to the old boatman talk about the rules here.

"People near Chentangguan who want to fish in the East China Sea to make a living must regularly put sacrifices into the sea, and those who do not put sacrifices will either be destroyed or disappeared when they go to sea. If you're lucky, even if you come back, you'll only have half a life left. ”

Gu Weiqing asked curiously, "Boatman, do you know what the hell is going on?" ”

The boatman said in a panic: "You must not say this, it is God's punishment for mortals, and it can't be said to be a ghost, otherwise there will be a big problem." ”

"Oh, got it, I'll pay attention to it later." Gu Weiqing wants to keep a low profile, he won't have nothing to do.

"And what is the sacrifice?"

"Boys and girls, every ten years to pay tribute to a pair, just last year to pay tribute, next time is nine years later, I hope these nine years can have a peaceful life."

Gu Weiqing was silent, needless to say, it must have been the ruler of the East China Sea, the Dragon King of the East China Sea, who did it. Nezha was a bear child when he was a child, which is not funny, but the kind of bear child who makes people hate itchy. If you don't agree with each other, you will kill people with fairy power.

After the child of the Dragon King of the East China Sea was killed, although he took revenge, Nezha was finally saved by Taiyi Zhenren. It stands to reason that the revenge of killing a son must not be given up so easily.

This is going to talk about the background and background, although the Dragon King of the East China Sea dominates a sea area like Guanyin Bodhisattva, he rules the East China Sea, and Guanyin rules the South China Sea, but the status is too far behind, it can be said that one is a high-level central and the other is a county-level cadre.

And who is the Taiyi real person who saved Nezha? A disciple of Yuan Shi Tianzun. Who is Yuan Shi Tianzun? One of the Three Qings, the founder of Heavenly Court. Taiyi Zhenren can be said to be a person at the same level as Guanyin Bodhisattva, Bodhi Ancestor, Rulai Buddha, and Jade Emperor.

My apprentice Nezha has already died once, and he can be regarded as giving you a face for the East King of the East China Sea, if you are making trouble unreasonably, it will be uninteresting.

Therefore, the Dragon King of the East China Sea can only give up, but the hatred of killing his son is not shared, and the remaining hatred is not over, so he can only vent to the people living in Chentangguan. Even if you can't take revenge, you can disgust Nezha and Li Jing.

But it is obvious that they who have become gods will no longer care about the life and death of the people in the mortal world, and it is very unwise to find the stubble of the Dragon King of the East China Sea for ten years and two lives. As a result, this tradition of tribute has continued for thousands of years.
