Chapter 97, Poseidon

When Li Yunlong, Gu Zhenren, Sersi Witch and Bei Duofen left Quanzhou in an embarrassment, Kong Yiming, the shopkeeper of "Yuelai Building", asked Gu Zhenren to help her do something. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Kong Yiming handed Gu Zhenren a Kong Ming lantern, and asked him to help him light this lamp with the eternal flame as much as possible, and then release this Kong Ming lantern.

Gu Zhenren has a deep relationship with Kong Men, how can he refuse this granddaughter-like request of Ming'er? He put away the Kong Ming lantern and left with Li Yunlong, Sersi Witch, and Bedo.

Out of Quanzhou City, Li Yunlong asked the chief and said:

"Dao Chief, it's only mid-July, and according to the plan of the Emperor Dragon Zaitian and the others, the 'Vulcan' can only be driven to the vicinity of Qilianyu in the South China Sea at the end of August and the beginning of September. In the meantime, where are we going?"

Gu Zhenren didn't look back, and said, go to Guangzhou first.

From Quanzhou to Guangzhou, whether by land or by sea, there are nearly 2,000 miles away. There are many rivers in the south of the Yangtze River, and it is much more convenient for passers-by to travel by boat, so there is a saying that "northerners ride horses, and southerners take boats". Gu Zhenren and his entourage went to Guangzhou this time, and they chose to take the sea route.

Taking the sea route also has its advantages, it seems that the detour is farther, but there are fewer undulating hills and criss-crossing rivers on the land along the way, but it is much more convenient. Comparatively speaking, it is faster to take the sea route.

Li Yunlong and the others took the returning Fanbang merchant ship, which was not big, it was a fourteen or fifteen zhang Brahmin ship. According to the people on the ship, this merchant ship sailed from Yangzhou City, a seaport in Huainan Province, and carried high-quality porcelain, tea, silk and other commodities from the Tang Dynasty, which was also a big harvest.

Ordinary traders are for money, as long as there is enough gold, silver and jewelry, although the world is big, there is no place that cannot be reached, and there is nothing that cannot be bought. The owner of the Brahmin ship heard that Gu Zhenren said that he was going to Guangzhou, which was also a stopby, so he symbolically collected some fare and let them get on the ship.

On the coastal road, Li Yunlong finally experienced a real sailing life. Is the stream and small pool where he swam in the Maoshan Sect still called water? Is the boat he rowed when he was fishing on weekdays still called a boat? There are many winds and waves in the South China Sea in July, and the boat is bumpy, and Li Yunlong can be regarded as a Taoist priest who has achieved "fish pills", and no matter how much he eats in his stomach, he can vomit out three taels more!

After a few days, Li Yunlong finally slowly adapted to life at sea, and the Brahmin ship slowly entered the port north and arrived in Guangzhou.

After the merchant ship entered the port and docked, Gu Zhenren took Li Yunlong, Sersi Witch and Bei Duofen, and after getting off the ship, he did not continue to go north to the inner city of Guangzhou, but went to Tanah Lot Temple.

The Tanah Lot Temple is built on the shore of Fuxu Harbor in Huangmu Bay, the temple is majestic and magnificent, the entrance is a large stone tablet workshop, three rooms and four pillars, all of which are made of marble. There is a stone stele in the workshop, which is engraved with four big characters of vigor and power, "the sea does not raise waves". It can be seen that safety is the greatest wish of seafarers.

Gu Zhenren and his entourage entered the gate of the Sea Temple, passed through the middle gate to the front hall, and the statue of the god in the temple was majestic and could not be looked at directly. Gu Zhenren took Li Yunlong and Sersi Witch (worship God without Bedofen) to worship a few times, which can be regarded as seeking peace for the next life at sea. It's just that the sharp-eyed thief suddenly found that the offering card in front of the statue actually reads "The position of the South China Sea God Zhurong"!

How is this possible? Li Yunlong quietly pulled Gu Zhenren's robe and whispered:

"Dao Chief, how can this South China Sea God also be called Zhu Rong?

Gu Zhenren didn't pay attention to the rude thief, he finished his respectful worship, and then pulled Li Yunlong out of the hall, and said with a smile:

"It's not the same name, they're two in one. ”

That Gu Zhenren said, according to Cao Wei astrologer Shi Shen's "Shi's Star Sutra":

"The Red Emperor of the South, whose essence is the Vermilion Bird, is the Seven Nights, Si Xia, Si Huo, Si Nanyue, Si Nanhai, and Si Nan is also. Fire and water, covering the way of heaven and earth. The origin of fire is in water, water is enough in the middle, and then fire is born outside. Fire is nothing but water. Water is not fire, water and fire are not separated, so Zhu Rong is also the emperor of water and fire. Its capital is Nanyue, so the main peak of Nanyue is called Zhurong, and its palace is in Fuxu...... The south of the four seas is respected, and the sun of the sky is in the ......"

These words involve the birth of the five elements, but they are also said to be mysterious and mysterious, but Li Yunlong has also read some scriptures such as the five elements of Tai Chi, and he can also understand that "fire is not water, and there is no life." Water is not fire and there is no sex, and water and fire are separated but not separated". After Gu Zhenren finished speaking, Li Yunlong nodded and said with a smile:

"Dao Chief, let's not care if he is the God of Fire or the God of the South China Sea, it's just that you, who are obviously going to rob people's 'Vulcan', have traveled a long way to pretend to worship in the temples of 3,000 people. I don't know if you are immortals, so let's talk about you first, do you really worship you? Or are you here to send a war letter to the god of fire?"

"Besides, this great god of Zhurong, should he bless you? Or will you let you go to sea and encounter wind and waves and capsize early?"

Gu Zhenren couldn't cry or laugh when he heard this, he waved his hand, the dust was like lightning, and he knocked Li Yunlong with a "snap". The long man sighed and said:

"You little thief has a lot of words, beware of being heard by the great god, and roast you to the outside and tender inside! Poor Dao worships this great god, is to respect him and guard one side, and now the four seas are leveled, and it is also the blessing of the great god of Zhurong, and he deserves to be worshiped by me. As for what will happen to the sea in the future, it is the trend of the Great Dao, what does it have to do with the great gods?"

Speaking of which, although this Gu Zhenren is a Taoist, he has a chivalrous demeanor in his actions, and he only seeks right and wrong in his actions, and he doesn't take the distinction between immortals and demons very seriously. For example, the red-clothed witch Sersi who walked with him was from the demon world. But Mrs. Namei's speech and demeanor, and eating habits are exactly the same as ordinary people, where is the appearance of the legendary cruel and tyrannical demon king!

Not only this Serthy witch, but the monsters that Li Yunlong saw in the mirage, except for their strange appearances, their behavior was no different from that of people. Even the old panda man of Wanbao City, the dragon knight who is full of good things and mouthful, is more humane than the wolf Zhang Chang that Li Yunlong met in Maoshan Sect.

Li Yunlong didn't find out that after staying with that strange person Gu Zhenren for a long time, he also gradually changed a little, what kind of immortal and what demon is not the point. What matters is right and wrong and right and wrong. For example, the dragon king of the four seas who traveled clouds and rain should naturally be admired by all the people when he sent down the rain to help the people, but in order to avenge their personal revenge, they released water monsters at the foot of Maoshan Mountain to disturb the people, is that also correct?

After worshipping the god of the South China Sea, Gu Zhenren and his entourage stood in front of the stone tablet engraved with "The Sea Does Not Raise Waves", staring into the distance, not knowing what they were thinking.
