Chapter 373: Master Lotus and the Dragon King Temple
Although there is no lotus fish to eat, but the other signature dishes also have a little taste, the two were eating, suddenly heard the sound of gongs and drums from the town, it turned out that the big family in the town teamed up to invite a master to go to subdue the monster in the lake.
"It's a master again, I hope it's not like that. Yan Xu shook his head, thinking of the masters of Li Yuanwai's family who were running around to drill the table, Yan Xu, who had just come down the mountain at that time, had a feeling of having his dream shattered.
But soon Yan Xu's expectations were shattered again, and as soon as the master arrived, he was heartbroken that the residents of the town had offended the dragon king of Lotus Lake, so the dragon lord sent his yaksha to punish them, so in order to calm the dragon lord's anger, he had to give a generous gift.
He calculated, he must send eighteen pure and beautiful girls to the dragon king as maids, this is an extremely glorious thing, in order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, he will also specially for these eighteen beautiful girls to retreat and preach together, purify their minds and bodies, by the way, just someone is not enough, but also have to send another three thousand taels of gold to the dragon king to decorate the dragon palace, the dragon palace, must be paved with gold bricks.
As a result, the residents of the town thought that the price was too high, so they tied up the master, saying that they would send him to the Dragon King to negotiate the price, and they were afraid that he would not go fast enough, so they specially tied a stone with a grinding plate and sent him to the Dragon Palace.
After listening to Xiao Er's colorful description, Yan Xu and the iron-clothed guest didn't know what to say, and this one was also good at dying.
If he goes to the ignorant villagers in the mountains and wilderness villages to sell this set, it is estimated that there will be some markets, but don't think about the beautiful girl and gold, the sweet potato bud is enough.
Lotus Town is not very big, but for a long time it has been a place where literati and writers gather, so the literary style is very prosperous, and local big families also like to establish private schools for good deeds, so they open up the wisdom of the people, which is so easy to fool, but instead they put their lives on the line.
Although this master went to the Lake Dragon King to bargain, he didn't know when he would be able to come back, but after learning that the lotus master of the Lotus Temple had returned, the residents of the town immediately put their hearts back in their stomachs.
"Master Lotus. Yan Xu touched his chin, and suddenly remembered that the master had told him before that this is a real master, especially good at nectar spells, and has the ability to flesh and bones of the living dead, of course, this is an exaggeration, but it also shows that this is a real master.
Yan Xu was about to take another look, but he always felt that this matter was not so simple, so he persuaded the ironclad guest.
The town sent one of the elders with the highest prestige to the Lotus Mountain with a rich gift, and when he came down the mountain, there was a hint of relief on his face, and it was obvious that the Lotus Master had agreed to make a move.
The town also began to get busy, and a huge altar was built by the lake, probably enough to accommodate dozens of eminent monks to practice on it.
Yan Xu didn't say much about this, now that the cultivation is difficult, there are fewer and fewer real masters, and the existing ones are becoming more and more cautious, generally not making a move easily, one hand is full strength, although this altar costs a lot, but it is enough to increase the strength of the Lotus Master by five layers, as long as it is not a thousand-year-old demon, ordinary monsters are not opponents at all, and dealing with a small character who can only overturn a fishing boat and cut the fishing net is simply a knife to kill chickens.
However, Yan Xu also understood Master Lotus's method, after all, the monster stayed in the huge lotus lake and never went ashore, and one person's mana alone could not help the other party at all, and the other party had to be found out with the help of the altar.
When the altar was set up, Master Lotus also took a group of nuns down the mountain, that's right, Master Lotus is a female nun, and when she was young, she also had the reputation of sitting on the lotus Guanyin, of course, the grave grass that dared to be called so in person didn't know how many stubbles had been changed.
Master Lotus has a very high reputation in the local area, not only the big families in the town, but even ordinary people have put down their work to welcome Master Lotus.
Yan Xu and the iron-clothed guest stood in the restaurant and looked at the lotus master who walked slowly, the iron-clothed guest just felt that the other party was extraordinary, compassionate, and a real monk, but Yan Xu saw more, because once he opened his heavenly eyes, he could see the white lotus flowers around the lotus master, the flowers bloomed and fell, obviously a body of Buddhism had already been cultivated to an extremely high and profound realm, if it weren't for the fact that the road to ascension had already been cut off, this person's Bodhi fruit position could be expected.
The strange thing is that today's Lotus Master did not go to the altar, but refused the invitation of many people and lived alone in the local Dragon King Temple, which surprised everyone.
It can be said that where there is water, there are people who worship the dragon king, even if it is a well, a spring, and Lotus Lake is no exception.
But the dragon king of Lotus Lake is notoriously unbright, so the incense is declining day by day, and slowly becoming uncared for, which is also the main reason why the master said that the dragon king's anger needs the girl's gold and silver to apologize, and the residents of the town sent him directly to see the dragon king, because there is no fear, so naturally they don't buy it.
"It seems that there is a problem with the dragon king here. Yan Xu touched his chin, then turned his head and said to the iron-clothed guest.
As early as when he first came here, Yan Xu inquired about the local Dragon King Temple, after all, there was a monster in the water, so he naturally had to hold the local Dragon King accountable, just like if there was a big case in the county, the county order would be unlucky.
However, after the residents of this place came out of the monster in the lake, they did not go to the Dragon King Temple to offer incense and petition, but went everywhere to find masters, which shows that the Dragon King Temple of Lotus Lake has almost no status in the hearts of the residents here.
The reason for this situation, in addition to the fact that the Lotus Lake Dragon King rarely appears to the spirits, is also related to the fact that the spirits can't do things, Yan Xu has heard a lot of jokes about the Lotus Lake Dragon King, which shows the low status.
But even the insignificant Well Dragon King has the ability to hold dreams, not to mention this huge Lotus Lake, even if there is no incense to worship, the Lotus Lake Dragon King should not be so weak, so it is obvious that the Lotus Dragon King itself has a problem.
"Tonight, we're going to visit the Dragon King here. Yan Xu found that he had to go there himself if he wanted to figure out what was going on, so he said to the ironclad guest.
The iron-clad man nodded but didn't speak, he was just a guard, he could make suggestions, but he wouldn't veto Yan Xu's decision.
The Lotus Lake Dragon King Temple is easy to find, and it is only two or three hundred meters away from the Lotus Restaurant where Yan Xu and the others are located.
Although the dragon king is not effective, but the dragon king temple is unexpectedly lively, not to mention daytime performances, juggling, monkey plays, selling sugar gourds, even at night there are storytellers, shadow puppet plays, and all kinds of delicious and inexpensive snacks.
Even though Yan Xu and the iron-clothed guest had just finished dinner, they couldn't help but buy a few snacks and hold them in their hands, and then stood in front of the most crowded and lively shadow puppet show to watch the performance.
Yan Xu looked at it for a while, and recognized that the person behind the shadow was not an ordinary craftsman, but a shadow puppet driven by puppetry, no wonder it was so flexible, and no wonder it attracted so many people.
However, there are not a few people who make a living with the help of one or two small spells that they know, as long as they are not used for evil, ordinary monks will not care when they see it, and there is nothing they can't see if they rely on their ability to make money and eat.
