Compared to when they went to the western heavens, their master and apprentice walked back this time, much faster.

Except for the 75-day uncovered assembly in Tianzhu Kingdom, he almost did not stay in the rest of the country, most for half a month, and as little as three or five days. Doing a Dharma service, preaching a scripture, and basically starting the journey.

On this day we arrived at the Blackwater River.

But it was the little dragon that rose up and blocked the way back for their master and apprentice.

It's not that Xiao Yulong is here alone, there is also a woman beside him, who is the princess of Heishui River back then, and now the master mother of Heishui River.

It was also the robbery of the Dragon King of the Jing River, and the Heavenly Court did not have a connection, coupled with the help of the Dragon King of the West Sea, the little dragon could be a dragon king in this Heishui River, although the Heishui River is not wide, but it is a place to stay.

Moreover, the biggest gain of the little dragon this time is not the position of the dragon king, but the luck to get acquainted with this princess of the Heishui River, and it became a good match.

Now it was the two of them who heard that Master Sanzang had returned to the east, and they also knew that Master Sanzang and his entourage were giving lectures at the altar in Chechiguo, so they waited on the Heishui River in advance when they counted the hours.

"Xiaolong has seen the holy monk and the great sage. Cousin, and two elders. ”

After the little dragon and the princess saluted to the Sanzang mage, they said: "I finally met you, and the mage didn't say goodbye back then, which made Xiaolong really panic in his heart." ”

"Amitabha."

Fahai saw that the princess was not dressed as a woman, so she first recited the Buddha's name, and then said with a smile: "You don't have to worry about this, it was the poor monk who protected the two of you back then, and the Dragon King of the West Sea said that the two of you decided to postpone the marriage, and when the poor monk returned to the Tang Dynasty and passed by the Heishui River, they would officially get married. Yes and no? ”

Hearing this, the little dragon was stunned for a moment, and then he was full of flattered looks, his expression suddenly became excited, his mouth opened and closed, and his hands couldn't help dancing up and down, as if it was difficult to speak for a while-

The princess on the side reached out and patted the little dragon on the shoulder, which "appeased" him, "The holy monk forgive me, and the dragon is also overjoyed for a while."

"It doesn't matter."

Fahai waved his hand, this little dragon is a person with a temperament, when he crossed the Heishui River, he could see the clue and only look at the current appearance, the little dragon is afraid that he has been pinched by this princess.

"Let's invite the holy monks and elders to enter the mansion to rest for a while." The princess stretched out her hand, and the black water river below parted ways, revealing a waterway.

"Please."

After entering the water, I saw the palace in front of me, it was not the river god water mansion of the year, although it was only expanded on the basis of the original, but now the plaque has been replaced with "Heishui River Dragon Palace", which is more solemn and majestic than before.

Only the residence of the Dragon King can be named "Dragon Palace".

Even this Heishui River is becoming more and more spiritual because of the existence of the little dragon, not to mention that the aura in the Heishui River is definitely much higher than before, and the birth of spiritual wisdom in the water tribe in the river is far more than before.

The so-called "mountain is not high, there is a fairy name; The water is not deep, there is a dragon and the spirit", that's probably it.

After entering the Dragon Palace and inviting Master Sanzang and the elders to take a seat, the princess took the arm of the little dragon and thanked her very solemnly.

Fahai did not dodge, but accepted it calmly. After all, it is the matchmaker of the two of them, let alone this one ceremony, and they can afford it if they bow a few more times.

After the little dragon and the princess were seated, the great sage asked the princess, "Why don't you see your father?" ”

The princess hurriedly 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, but said: "This heaven is not as comfortable as the world. What kind of job does your father have in the Ministry of Water? ”

After all, Bajie is the inheritance of Marshal Tianpeng, who is in charge of the 80,000 Tianhe Water Army in the Heavenly Court, and occasionally deals with people from the Ministry of Water.

"Under the command of the transfer envoy of Xia Yuan Water Mansion, he served as the patrol captain."

The Great Sage smiled: "Yo, it's still a fat difference!" ”

The princess waved her hand again and again, and said, "Great Sage, my father, you have also seen it, and with his temperament, I am afraid that it will be difficult for him to be up to the task. ”

"If you know that you are not competent, why don't you persuade you?"

The princess was also helpless: "How can you persuade it?" ”

The little dragon on the side was unhappy, and said: "Father-in-law, he is rarely full of confidence, and if he wants to prove himself, the princess should not always underestimate his father-in-law."

The little white dragon motioned to the little dragon not to speak first, but asked the princess: "This is not quite right, the patrol captain under the transfer of the Water Mansion, although the grade is not high, but the power is not small, how can you choose Ling Zun?" ”

The princess pondered for a moment and said, "The concubine has inquired about it, and it is also stained with the light of Erlang Zhenjun."

Xiao Yulong nodded, "Speaking of which, Erlang Zhenjun is also my third cousin-in-law, the water department, and it is not very normal to take care of my father-in-law." Besides, the patrol captain is half a level higher than the god of this Heishui River God."

When the people heard this, they immediately understood. Calculating the time, this old river god was promoted, and it was probably after Erlang Zhenjun officially took over the judicial god.

It was also Erlang Zhenjun himself who was invulnerable, so he followed Mrs. Yang's line and found the little dragon who served in the Heishui River.

The little dragon itself is a dragon family, and the promotion in the system basically does not worry about the Ministry of Water. Naturally, the idea was hit on the father-in-law of the little dragon.

Erlang Zhenjun has a very strict judiciary, and it is naturally inappropriate to overpromote, even if the water department buys it well, it doesn't dare to go too far, and this patrol lieutenant can be regarded as the best item in the normal promotion.

Even if Erlang Zhenjun asked, there were no violations in the procedure at all.

As he was talking, he saw some movement outside the door, and after a while, he saw the old river god enter the lobby, but he didn't look good, but he was still pretending to be calm.

"Father, why are you back?"

Obviously, the old river god suddenly returned home, which was not expected by the princess.

The old river god smiled: "My father heard in the heavenly court that the holy monk had come out of the Spirit Mountain, and it was about to come to our Heishui River, so he took a few days off. Now it seems that it is just right, and it has not delayed your wedding. The old man has seen the two elders of the holy monk, the great sage, and the third prince. ”

"Hahaha-" Xiao Yonglong laughed and said, "Uncle Yue came at the right time, and the holy monk and apprentice also arrived at the Heishui River. ”

One of the people present was a human spirit, and only the little dragon was grinning, heartless, and did not notice that the abnormality of the old river god might be due to the occasion, and everyone didn't say anything for a while, but between the eye exchanges, a consensus had obviously been reached.

The little white dragon smiled: "I just said that when I come, it will be your wedding day. I don't know if it's related, but it's all ready? I see that your Dragon Palace is dressed up now, but it doesn't look like a hall of great joy. ”

"Princess, you've always been in charge of this." In fact, the little dragon in the Heishui River plays more of a role in the status of the identity, and the real decision in the Dragon Palace has always been this princess.

Even when the old river god was in power, it was the princess of the Heishui River who handled the affairs of the water house. The old river god was closed all day, just in retreat.

Their master and apprentice had already seen this back then, if they really had the temperament of the little dragon, and there was no help from this princess, if they wanted to be the water dragon king, I am afraid it would be a little difficult.

The princess also said to everyone: "I have discussed with Yulang, this marriage should be simpler, and there is no need to be too public. The concubine has also been considered many times, only waiting for a specific time, and it only takes half a day to complete the arrangement, but there is some difficulty, that is, which guests to feast. ”

The little dragon hurriedly said: "The Dragon King of the Four Seas, as well as the Dragon King of the Four Rivers and Five Lakes, and the Water God, who was originally set, are also among the banquets. There is also the god of the water department and a group of auxiliary gods."

Speaking of this, Xiao Yulong paused and said: "But I always feel that it is still not appropriate, so I said that I still don't invite so many people, except for the holy monks and apprentices, I am only going to invite my uncle Xihai Dragon King, the eldest cousin, and Xiaolong's several brothers. Oh, and the third cousin of Guan Jiangkou. ”

"It's all my own family." The little white dragon nodded first, "That's fine." ”

The Heishui River is not big, if Xiao Yonglong's father, the Jinghe Dragon King, is still alive, it is indispensable for him to invite guests when he gets married, except for the water department, which belongs to the gods of the thunder department, and the gods of the three mountains and five mountains are also among the invites.

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 this time is different from the past, the Dragon King of Jinghe violated the rules of heaven and was pushed onto the dragon slaying platform, and he was killed. The little dragon was blessed by the Dragon King of the West Sea, so he had to be today, so he naturally had to keep a low profile and be more restrained.

In fact, with the temperament of the little dragon himself, he can't think of this, and even if he doesn't have the restraint of this princess of Heishuihe, with his reckless temperament, he is afraid that he will rely on the relationship between his three cousins, and he doesn't know what to do.

"Invitations are available?"

"Because I haven't set a date, I haven't delivered it yet."

Hearing this, the little white dragon smiled and said, "It's better to set the date today and I'll send it for you. It just so happened that I had been away from home for a long time, and it was time to go back to see my father's cousins and third sisters, so I would also take a trip by the way. ”

The little dragon was not polite to this little cousin, and immediately said, "Then thank you cousin!" ”

"Well, the invitations are ready, just fill in the date." The princess got up and asked in her father's direction: "Daddy will have an auspicious day in five days, so it is better to set it in five days." ”

"You arrange it." The old river god didn't have any opinions, nor did he make any suggestions.

The princess went to get the invitation, and the little dragon and the old river god accompanied him in the lobby, and Fahai said to the old river god: "When I first arrived at the Heishui River, I saw that there are several ferries built on both sides of the river, and there are many ships docked, and there are more large and small passenger boats coming and going."

"The holy monk doesn't know." Lao Heshen stabilized his mind and said to Master Sanzang: "This Heishui River was originally separated from Chechi and Wuji, but since the holy monk crossed the river, the two countries have also begun to travel frequently, and have established diplomatic relations with the Tang Dynasty. These two ferries were also built to facilitate the travel of several countries. Not far from both sides of the strait, in fact, there is also a post station, which was built by Datang. The post houses are all Tang people. ”

The Tang Dynasty laid the post station all the way to the west, which was already known when the French sea returned to Chang'an last time, and it is said that the Nawusi Tibetan State was obstructing the implementation of this matter, and was beaten by Xue Rengui with the grass and rabbits, and it was directly included in the territory of the Tang Dynasty.

"The holy monk wants to go and see it?" The old river god asked cautiously.

Fahai clasped his hands together and said, "I wonder if I can ask the donor to be a guide?" ”

"The holy monk is serious, this is an old honor."

After that, the two of them left the Dragon Palace, left the Heishui River, and went ashore.

After a while, the princess also prepared all the invitations, took them out, and Xiaobailong stepped forward to take the invitations, checked them carefully, and after confirming that they were correct, she put away the invitations and said, "Without further ado, I will send them." ”

"I'm tired of my cousin, and my little brother is grateful."

"Smack!" The little white dragon patted the little dragon on the shoulder and said with a smile: "The family doesn't talk about the two families, what is polite." ”

The little white dragon turned into a dragon body, went out of the Heishui River, went straight to the sky, and after a long time, he returned to the West Sea in the blink of an eye.

West Sea Dragon Palace.

"Father, the third child is back." Ao Moang, the eldest prince of the West Sea, who was playing chess with the Dragon King of the West Sea, had a sense when the little white dragon had just entered the sea.

Normally, Ao Moang has always been at the West Sea Sea Eye, following several dragon clan seniors who guarded the Sea Eye, but after the news of the Sanzang master and apprentice making trouble in Lingshan some time ago, he was never able to meditate, so he temporarily stopped his practice, returned to the Dragon Palace, and waited for the little white dragon to come back.

After all, they have always been close to the West Sea and the Lingshan, when the Bodhisattva came to the West Sea, said that he wanted to cross a dragon into the Lingshan, and was the head of the dragons among the eight heavenly dragons of Buddhism, originally Ao Moang wanted to stand up.

But as for who to choose, the Bodhisattva did not designate the candidate on the spot, but just said: Just go with the flow, and you will naturally know when the time comes.

Since the little white dragon burned down the wedding room and was crushed under the eagle's sorrowful stream to suffer, Ao Moang roughly guessed that the little white dragon was the chosen dragon. Then I heard that he was worshipping under Master Sanzang, and I was able to confirm it.

It's just that

"I heard that Master Sanzang is not subject to the great position of Lingshan." Ao Moang said to his father, "The head of the dragons promised by the Bodhisattva. It still doesn't seem to be a certainty. ”

The Dragon King of the West Sea fell and said with a smile: "Do you know why the Bodhisattva didn't allow you to enter the Buddha Gate back then?" ”

Ao Moang thought for a while and said, "Because the child is murderous, he can't be bound by Buddhism. ”

The Dragon King of the West Sea nodded, "Actually, to put it simply, it is that you don't discipline Fuling Mountain."

Ao Moang kept silent, what his father said was very reasonable, it seems that he and other descendants with the best qualifications among the Four Seas Dragon Clan would never be willing to join Buddhism and become a monk like this. Even the so-called head of the dragons.

The Bodhisattva even saw through his mind directly, so he didn't think about him from beginning to end.

As for the little white dragon, perhaps before worshipping Master Sanzang as his teacher, his temperament was to choose the little white dragon from the Bodhisattva who was more civil, and it was not unreasonable.

But who would have expected that there would be such a variable as Master Sanzang?

"Father, big brother!"

Before the little white dragon's people arrived, the voice arrived first-
