Chapter 192 Ancient Candle Dragon
When Ao Guang was asked this question, his old face suddenly turned red, and he said hurriedly.
"Grandfather, please understand, there is indeed a happy event. A mysterious and powerful person has recently appeared in the East China Sea. My grandson just came back from him. My grandson wants to get close to that powerful person and find a backer for my dragon clan."
"Mysterious and powerful? It must be very difficult for you to call him a powerful person. Tell me about it." Zhulong became interested at this moment. He knew Ao Guang well. Although he was submissive in front of outsiders, his grandson was always thinking about the future of the dragon clan. He would not easily say what he just said without being completely sure.
"Yes, ancestor, a few days ago, Master Jin Chanzi from the Lingshan Mountain in the West came to visit my Dragon Palace again. You know, ancestor, Jin Chanzi is one of the few people who has no ill will towards my dragon clan. Later..." Ao Guang slowly told what happened during this period.
"Another child making trouble in the sea? It seems that it is another fairy child with destiny. The sea cannot be caused by just anyone. Even a quasi-saint cannot do it. Only those with destiny can cause resonance in the sea." Zhulong said.
"That's right." Ao Guang nodded. He couldn't help but think of Nezha back then. He was a fairy child with destiny. Otherwise, how could he stir up the sea with his mortal body at that time.
"It is not difficult to control you two Daluo people without noticing. Some Daluo can also do it with magic weapons, but according to your description, only quasi-saints can do this at this time." Zhulong continued.
"Grandson thinks so too. Old Ancestor, you haven't seen that person. He gives people a very strange feeling. He seems to be approachable and high above. This is the first time that grandson has seen such a person. In fact, he even feels that he is not inferior to the Buddha." Ao Guang said.
"Buddha? Humph..." Zhulong snorted coldly.
At this time, Zhulong slowly stood up. He was three feet tall, twice as tall as Ao Guang.
"I am also very curious about who this person is. Next time you go, I will go with you. This old bone has not moved for a long time." Zhulong twisted his body and said.
"What? Old Ancestor, you want to go out? But..." Ao Guang looked up worriedly and said.
"It's okay. I'm not going to fight. What's more, I'm not afraid of anyone unless the saint comes out." Zhulong said domineeringly.
"Yes, old ancestor." Ao Guang said hurriedly.
Bai Yujing, Ziyin Zhenren, Wuming and others have entered the Seven Treasures Pagoda for many days. Su Yu understands that this world brings a lot of pressure to everyone. Everyone wants to improve their cultivation desperately. He doesn't disturb them and lets everyone practice. Now there are only Qiao Feng's parents, Azhu, and his father and daughter outside, and of course a shiny bald head is here.
"Hehe..." By the field, Su Meng looked at Jin Chanzi who was clumsy in the field and laughed non-stop.
"Qiao Bo, I'm dragging you down." Jin Chanzi said ashamedly.
"Haha, little monk, you are already pretty good, much better than the monks I met back then." Qiao Sanhuai comforted.
Jin Chanzi was immediately interested when he heard this.
"Uncle Qiao, do you know other monks?" Jin Chanzi said.
"More than that? The land our family used to farm was all in the temple, and our ancestors have been dealing with monks for generations." Aunt Qiao said on the side.
"More than that, my brother Qiao's first master was a Buddhist. It's a pity..." Ah Zhu interrupted.
"What a pity?" Jin Chanzi asked curiously.
Ah Zhu realized that he had let the cat out of the bag, and quickly shook his head.
"Nothing, Master, it's all in the past."
Jin Chanzi was stunned for a moment, a little confused.
"Since you farm for the temple, your life must be good." Jin Chanzi said.
But Qiao Sanhuai put down the hoe in his hand and put on a posture of reminiscing.
"Well, I can't say anything good. I'm barely surviving. I just owe Feng'er too much. We sent him to the temple to learn martial arts at such a young age. After all, we are useless and can't support him." Qiao Sanhuai said.
"Uncle, this is all in the past." Ah Zhu comforted.
"Is it because there is too little arable land?" Jin Chanzi asked.
"Haha, how can it be too little? It's just that there is too much grain to be handed over to the higher authorities. There is not much left at home. We can only barely maintain food and clothing." Qiao Sanhuai laughed.
"Is it handed over to the temple? Why is it so? Can't it be less? The monks should understand the suffering of the people." Jin Chanzi said.
"You, little monk, have a good heart. There are tenants of Shaolin Temple within a hundred miles of our place. Everyone supports them. Over the years, everyone has gotten used to it." Qiao Sanhuai said.
"Those monks don't work. They just chant scriptures and practice martial arts every day. How can they care about the lives of the people? The temples are more magnificent than the palaces of those secular dynasties." Ah Zhu didn't have a good impression of the monks, so he spoke.
"That, Master, I'm not talking about you." After saying this, he realized something was wrong and quickly explained to Jin Chanzi.
Jin Chanzi didn't care, but said.
"Meditation and enlightenment are compulsory courses for monks, and the purpose is to transcend themselves and reach bliss forever." Jin Chanzi said.
"I don't like to hear this. If you always talk about transcendence, do monks ignore their parents and family affection? Little monk, I want to say a few words to you. This is not okay. If everyone is like this, who will farm and who will support the elderly? Those monks are also raised by their parents. What can unfilial people talk about transcendence?" Qiao Sanhuai said.
"Uh..." Jin Chanzi was speechless. Although he knew that Qiao Bo was just making a twisted argument, he just couldn't refute it. Isn't it the same at the foot of Lingshan Mountain?
"Little monk, I tell you, you are lucky. The young master usually dislikes monks." Aunt Qiao whispered.
"I heard that Daddy almost destroyed Buddhism!" At this time, Su Meng, who was playing in the mud not far away, suddenly spoke.
"What?" Jin Chanzi was shocked when he heard it.
"Master, it's not the Buddhism here. This girl is talking nonsense. It's just a small place." Ah Zhu saw that Jin Chanzi had misunderstood and explained quickly.
Jin Chanzi was relieved immediately. He was really scared just now. He thought Su Yu had some grudges with Buddhism, but how could he not know.
"Aunt Ah Zhu, Mengmeng is hungry." At this time, Su Meng said in a baby voice.
"It's almost time for today. Let's go back and rest. The old man is going to take a good bath." Qiao Sanhuai said.
"Little monk, let's go together. I tell you, the hot spring here is very comfortable."
"This..." Jin Chanzi was a little embarrassed when he heard this, but he was a little curious. He hadn't taken a hot spring bath yet. To be exact, he had forgotten what it felt like to take a bath. He usually just cast a clearing spell on himself and that was it.
"Let's go... After washing, the old woman and the others have prepared the meal." Qiao Sanhuai said and pulled Jin Chanzi away. At this time, he had much more strength in his hands than Jin Chanzi, so Jin Chanzi could only let him pull her away.
"Hehe, he looks stupid." Su Meng said with a smile.
"Don't talk nonsense, be careful that the young master will blame you again." Ah Zhu stretched out her hand and picked up Su Meng and said.
"Slightly..." The little girl immediately made a face.
"How is it, is it very comfortable? I take a bath every morning and evening. The young master said that it can prolong life." In the hot spring, Qiao Sanhuai said to Jin Chanzi comfortably.
Jin Chanzi, who was also soaking in the hot spring, closed his eyes comfortably. It was the first time for him to feel so comfortable, especially after working all day, he felt that all the pores on his body were happy.
"Qiao Bo, can you tell me about your son and Buddhism?" Jin Chanzi suddenly asked.
"Well, I don't know much, I just know that time..." Then Qiao Sanhuai told what he knew. In fact, he got Su Yu's permission, so he didn't need to hide Jin Chanzi's questions, of course, except for the origins of himself and others.
"Hey, you say, why is the son not angry? The common people work hard for a year, but they are dressed in fine clothes and eat delicious food, the temples are magnificent, and they even interfere in worldly affairs." Finally, Qiao Sanhuai shook his head and sighed.
Jin Chanzi was also lost in thought at this time, and his mind couldn't help but think of the Buddhism he knew. It was the same in the West. Every temple was as he said. Buddhist disciples either chanted scriptures or listened to the Dharma every day, and they also had to be supported by the people. This was not invisible. It increased the burden on the people.
"Buddha..." Jin Chanzi couldn't help but think of Tathagata. For some reason, he suddenly felt that his image in his mind was not as tall as before.
In the East China Sea, at the bottom of the sea, Ao Guang and Zhu Long were flying towards Baiyujing at a high speed. When they were about to arrive, they suddenly stopped.
"What?" Zhu Long said in surprise after stopping. They couldn't move forward at this time. An invisible energy blocked them.
"Ancestor, this should be the trick of that person. Last time we suddenly lost the ability to fly in the sky and fell down. I didn't expect it to be the same in the sea." Ao Guang said.
Zhu Long was extremely shocked at this time. He thought he had overestimated the other party, but now it seems that he might have underestimated him.
"Let's go up." Zhu Long said, and flew out of the water.
"Ancestor, that is the fairy island." Ao Guang followed closely, and then pointed to Baiyujing not far away.
In the Jade Emperor Pavilion, Su Yu opened his eyes and then smiled.
"I didn't expect it to be him." Su Yu said in his heart. When the two of them stepped into the range of 100 miles, Su Yu instantly knew the identity of the visitor. He didn't expect Zhulong to show up in person. This is a top master, the overlord of ancient times, and the only two strong men in the dragon clan besides Zulong.
"Sir, Xiaolong is here again. Please let me in." Ao Guang shouted inside when he arrived outside Baiyujing.
Then he saw a clever little girl jumping and running towards the island.
"Ah, why is it you again." Su Meng said.
"Haha, little girl, it's Laolong. This time I came to give gifts to your parents. Look, I also brought you a gift." Ao Guang said and took out a night-shining pearl the size of a ball.
"Wow, it's so bright, I want it, I want it." Su Meng said. After waving his hand, the two felt that there was no obstacle in front of them, and they flew in at once.
"Give it to me, give it to me." Su Meng stretched out her little hand to ask for the night-shining pearl, and Ao Guang quickly handed it over.
"This child..." Zhulong looked at Su Meng in surprise at this time. He found that he couldn't see through this girl.
