Huaguo Mountain.

The Dragon King of the East China Sea looked at Sun Xiaosheng, his fists clenched, and his nerves tensed.

He and the Dragon King of the West Sea are like brothers, so he naturally does not want to see Sun Xiaosheng punish the Dragon King of the West Sea for Ao Lie.

"Your Majesty, Ao Lie didn't mean it. ”

"I beg the king to forgive him!"

The Dragon King of the East China Sea said with a sincere face.

"Huh?"

"When did I say I was going to punish Ao Lie?"

Sun Xiaosheng wondered.

He has never been angry with the dragon clan because of the matter of the golden cicada.

When he asked the dragon clan to find the whereabouts of the golden cicada, he didn't consider the grievances between the dragon clan and the demon clan.

It's not that he's negligent, it's a test of the dragons' loyalty to him.

As it turned out, the dragons did a good job.

Even at the cost of many lives, he still found the golden cicada.

In this way, Sun Xiaosheng is too late to be happy, how can he be angry.

"You bring Ao Lie, I have something to ask him. ”

Sun Xiaosheng said lightly.

Although in the Journey to the West, Ao Lie is dispensable, not the key.

But in Heavenly Court's plan, the entire dragon clan has become an abandoned son that can be abandoned.

Whether it is Ao Lie or the Dragon King of Jinghe.

Heavenly Court can kill if it wants, and let it go if it wants.

Even in order to lure out Tang monks, the gate of Nanzhan Buzhou was opened to the Buddhist gate.

did not hesitate to sacrifice the life of the Dragon King of Jinghe, just because he put a few more drops of rain.

After a while, the Dragon King of the East China Sea returned with Ao Lie.

That white dress and handsome appearance are the little white dragons.

"King!"

Ao Lie lowered his head, not daring to look at Sun Xiaosheng.

He also knew that because of his mistakes, he killed the golden cicada, and even indirectly caused the Heavenly Court to encircle and suppress Beiju Luzhou.

"Huh. ”

Sun Xiaosheng smiled kindly and said, "Don't be nervous, my grandson is a vegetarian." ”

In order to ease the atmosphere, Sun Xiaosheng made a joke.

But Ao Lie couldn't laugh.

"My lord, I know it's wrong. ”

"If the king wants to punish, he will only punish me, don't implicate the dragon clan!"

Ao Lie pleaded.

Alas!

Sun Xiaosheng sighed secretly.

The dragons have been oppressed for too long, and servility has long been ingrained in the bone marrow.

And servility inevitably suppresses nature, which is also the reason why there is no strong man in the dragon clan.

"My grandson said that he would not punish the dragon clan. ”

"On the contrary, you guys are doing a good job. ”

"If it weren't for that, in the past two hundred years, Huaguoshan has ushered in many annoying guys. ”

Sun Xiaosheng smiled.

Hearing this, the Dragon King of the East China Sea and Ao Lie finally let go of the big stone in their hearts and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"However, my grandson still has an important task for you to do. ”

"If it is done, my grandson will take you as an apprentice and pass on your magical powers. ”

"You should know that the reason why the dragon clan is bullied by various races is not because of those grievances during the flood period. ”

"It's that the dragons are too weak. ”

"Only when your fists are harder than others can you not be bullied. ”

Sun Xiaosheng gave some teachings, hoping that the Dragon King of the East China Sea and Ao Lie would listen to it.

"Don't hurry up and thank the king!"

The Dragon King of the East China Sea hurriedly urged.

"Thank you...... King!"

Ao Lie said dumbfounded.

Sun Xiaosheng didn't care about this.

The dragon clan chose him as a backer, but both the heavenly court and the Buddhist sect were trying to win him over and his future achievements.

However, Sun Xiaosheng has decided that he will never repeat Sun Wukong's mistakes, so he refuses to be wooed by Heaven and Buddhism in every possible way.

These dragons are all in their eyes.

They were more anxious than Sun Xiaosheng.

Once Sun Xiaosheng loses the two backers of Heavenly Court and Buddhism, the Dragon Clan will not hesitate to betray him.

To put it bluntly, the two sides are nothing more than a relationship of mutual exploitation.

But if he wants the dragon clan to be used by him all the time, the best way is for him to show the dragon clan his absolute strength.

Therefore, Sun Xiaosheng decided to use Ao Lie as an introduction.

As long as Ao Lie shows enough loyalty, Sun Xiaosheng will definitely accept him as an apprentice.

And in the future, when the dragon clan sees Ao Lie's amazing growth, they will inevitably bow down to Sun Xiaosheng even more.

"My lord, please give me instructions!"

The Dragon King of the East China Sea couldn't wait to ask for instructions.

"Hmm. ”

Sun Xiaosheng nodded, looked at Ao Lie, and said lightly:

"Find the reincarnation of the golden cicada and take it to Tai'a Mountain. ”

"But remember, it can't be forced, it has to be of his own free will. ”

Finished?

Ao Lie and the Dragon King of the East China Sea glanced at each other, very puzzled.

Seems like this task is too simple.

No, there must be a lot of articles in it.

With Sun Xiaosheng's realm, every move is full of deep meaning.

What's more, at this time, the golden cicada is also involved.

Ao Lie's face was straight, and he hugged his fists and said:

"Don't worry, Ao Lie will complete the task!"

After speaking, Ao Lie stepped on the cloud head and fled in the direction of Nanzhan Buzhou.

......

......

Nanzhan Buzhou.

In the home of an official eunuch.

On a futon, a white-faced scholar is knocking on a wooden fish and chanting scriptures.

At the age of twenty, he has a handsome face, and he is a well-known handsome man in the entire Chang'an City.

He is kind, benevolent, and very loved by the people.

Women, in particular, dream of marrying him.

However, Liu Sheng does not like women, and prefers to be loyal to Buddhist scriptures.

Even if the imperial court was filial piety, it was rejected by Liu Sheng.

His greatest hobby is to meditate at home and recite sutras.

"Young master, it's time to eat. ”

Yanagi's closest servant brought lunch.

Although Liu Sheng was born in a family of eunuchs, his life is very simple.

For lunch, there was only a bowl of crystal clear gruel and two white steamed buns.

"It's you, Li Zhong. ”

"Put your meal down and eat it when I'm done reading this passage. ”

Liu Sheng opened his eyes slightly and said lightly.

"Alas!"

Li Zhong put the plate at Liu Sheng's feet, sighed, and said:

"Young master, I have heard people say that there are many sufferings in the world, and just reciting two Buddhist scriptures cannot relieve the suffering of the world. ”

"To help the suffering of the world, that is the real great merit. ”

"The young master has heard that he compares himself to Xiaoshan Gui, and is lonely and willing to be an ascetic. ”

Hearing this, Liu Sheng's glasses widened and he looked at Li Zhong in disbelief.

It was as if he had seen Li Zhong on the first day.

"That makes sense. ”

"Who do you listen to?"

Yanagi asked eagerly.

Li Zhong smiled bitterly and said:

"Young master forgot, my hometown is at the foot of Tai'a Mountain. ”

"When I went back to my hometown some time ago, the villagers said that they thought they were old immortals living in the mountains. ”

"There is also one more temple, called Xiaoleiyin Temple. ”

"What?!"

Yanagi was taken aback, his pupils constricting suddenly.

"You say, the temple in your hometown is called Xiaoleiyin Temple?"

Li Zhong nodded blankly.

And Liu Sheng directly dropped the wooden fish in his hand and grabbed Li Zhong's hand.

"In the Lingshan is the Great Lei Yin Temple. ”

"Your hometown has a small Lei Yin Temple. ”

"No matter which Buddha lives in it, it must be a profound Buddhist monk!"

"I must go and see it!"

Liu Sheng couldn't wait to pull Li Zhong and run out.

And Li Zhong behind him showed a strange smile.
