Chapter 197 Dongting Dragon King
Along the way, he unexpectedly met two monks who preached in villages and towns. However, they did not persuade people to do good deeds, but to persuade them to believe in religion. They also used magic to help people cure their illnesses. The fundamental purpose was to persuade people to worship what they worshiped.
The Buddha. From Wu Sheng's point of view, a real monk should persuade people to do good. As for whether the people he persuades believe in Buddhism, that is secondary. Although there is also a saying that Buddha competes for a stick of incense, the importance is different.
Wu Sheng didn't mind his own business.
They teach their religion, and he goes his own way.
After traveling along the river for four days, he arrived at the Dongting Lake.
The 800-mile Dongting is so big and vast.
Steaming clouds and dreamy lakes shake Yueyang City.
Since there are water monsters in Dongting Lake and the legend of the Dragon King, Wu Sheng did not leave in a hurry, but stayed in Baling City to inquire about the legend of Dongting.
This is a transportation hub. It has always been a strategic location. It has the command of both land and water armies. Moreover, because it is close to Dongting, the Changsheng Temple is much larger than ordinary places.
Wu Sheng also saw the stone statue of the Dragon King of Dongting by the water, with a green face and fangs, a ferocious face, pointing at Dongting Lake, and there were some water demon attendants beside him. The carving of this stone statue was very lifelike.
When he went to a restaurant in the city to eat, he didn't ask the waiter of the restaurant very deliberately. It happened that there were not many people eating when he went there, so the waiter told him some legends about the Dragon King of Dongting.
.
Why did the angry flood flood three cities and eight towns, and he turned into a human form and came to this city to drink. There are also rumors that the Dragon King of Dongting admired the learned people in the world, and once invited the great scholars to the Dragon Palace of Dongting to give lectures to the Dragon Son and the Dragon Sun.
, and also extended the life of that great scholar for a hundred years.
There are a lot of things to say. Generally speaking, this Dragon King of Dongting is majestic, admires noble moral character and knowledgeable people, and at the same time has great magical power.
"No one has any plans for this Dragon Lord of Dongting?"
"Yes, there are many people and monsters. It seems that more than ten years ago, someone saw a man flying from the sky and shouting on Dongting Lake. It seemed that the Dragon Lord of Dongting was indulging his subordinates and killing living creatures. Let him come out.
After being punished, a dragon actually emerged from Dongting Lake and swallowed the man in one gulp."
Well, this is a typical example of sending someone away from a thousand miles away.
Without sufficient information collection and rigorous comparative analysis of the enemy's and our own strength in advance, they were able to bluff a group of people just by relying on their enthusiasm.
"In addition to humans, are there monsters?"
"Yes, I heard that more than a hundred years ago, a dragon came from the Yangtze River and wanted to steal the water house of the Dragon King of Dongting. They fought from the lake to the sky. The water of Dongting Lake was ten feet high. It rained heavily and three areas were flooded.
There was a city, thousands of acres of fertile land, and tens of thousands of people dead. Finally, a piece of dragon body fell from the sky, one hundred feet long, without a dragon head. The Dragon King of Dongting returned to the water house in the lake."
"Interesting, interesting!" After hearing this, Wu Sheng felt that these stories were really exciting.
"Hey, you can tell me more." Seeing the waiter preparing to leave, Wu Sheng said, he thought these stories were very interesting.
"Sir, please see, I should be busy right now." The waiter smiled a little apologetically. There was a guest in the restaurant and he needed to come over to entertain him.
"Okay, you get busy first."
"Sir, I will tell you when I have time."
"Okay." Wu Sheng gave him two copper coins.
"Thank you, thank you."
When the waiter saw this, he quickly took the copper coin and expressed his gratitude.
"Then I'll be busy."
"good."
Wu Sheng ordered a few dishes and ate them slowly, looking at the few people in the restaurant and listening to their conversations.
After leaving the restaurant, Wu Sheng continued to wander around the city. He was wondering if he could find the organization that specializes in selling information in Baling City and inquire about something. What if there is something that can subdue the dragon nearby?
"Looking for it?"
He searched for it in the city. After walking around a few times, he checked again and again and found the place.
"Chunmanlou, why did you choose such a place?"
Wu Sheng has been outside for more than an hour. Based on his usual experiences, he can basically be sure that this is where he is.
Looking at the two or three beautiful women standing at the door, unlike other places where the women standing behind the door are all heavily made-up and gorgeous, this place seems to be of a higher quality.
"Hiss, I've been in this world for so long, and I've never been in it."
"Okay, monk, let's visit the brothel. Let's go in and see the excitement."
Amitabha,
Wu Sheng secretly thought, and then walked closer to Chunman Tower.
"Master, please come inside!"
The girl at the door did not show any disdain for Wu Sheng's dress and dress, and still invited him in. They have been in this business for a long time, and they also know that some young men like to play with special things. They are obviously rich, but they wear the same clothes.
He was wearing rags and rags, but he was obviously handsome, but he had to look disgraced.
After coming in, he looked around and took a closer look. To be honest, he was really curious about such a legendary place.
There is no noise, no pungent and unpleasant aroma of rouge and gouache. Not many people come here, or in other words, not many people have the ability to spend money here. This is a gold-selling cave.
"This guest, is this your first time here?" The handsome girl next to him said softly with a smile upon seeing Wu Sheng's expression.
"First time." Wu Sheng nodded.
Is this embarrassing? It’s not.
Boom, the sound of the piano is very melodious, as if a clear spring is flowing through the yellow sand in the sky.
very beautiful,
"Yes, it's really rare to hear such melodious music in a place like this."
"Who is playing the piano?" Wu Sheng asked subconsciously.
"Qin, what kind of piano is that? Sir, if you like, I can play it for you!" The woman was stunned after hearing this, and then said with a smile.
I didn’t hear such a beautiful piano sound. I didn’t hear it. Is it because I didn’t care about it? Is it a lie? Or is this piano sound only heard by some special people?
Somewhat interesting.
Just a moment after entering the house, the madam came out to greet her. She was wearing light-colored clothes. She was over forty years old, and her charm was still there.
"What kind of girl does this young master like?"
"I'm not here to find a girl."
"Hey, young master, you are joking. What are you doing here if you don't have a girl?"
Wu Sheng looked around, looking at several beautiful girls, and for some reason he thought of his master, uncle abbot and senior brother Wu Nu. In this situation, what would they do if they were here?
"I want to get some news."
After hearing this, the madam looked at Wu Sheng, waved his hand to the girls next to him, and they left lightly.
"Sir, it costs money to inquire about information."
"I know, please introduce me."
"Sir, please come with me." The old bustard smiled.
"This business of yours is really weird. There are teahouses, restaurants, and places like this. Can't you choose a unified model? It's very difficult to find."
"I heard the young master say this, this is not the first time he has come to see us."
Wu Sheng nodded in agreement.
"If you pay attention, Master, there is a secret sign where we are."
"Secret message?" This was the first time Wu Sheng had heard of it.
The madam smiled and led Wu Sheng to the back hall. After passing through a winding corridor, he came to a small courtyard with lush bamboos and winding corridors. The small courtyard was designed to be very hidden and could not be seen from the outside.
any situation inside.
There were huts connected to each other behind the corridor, and the madam led him into a hut.
"Master, please wait a moment."
"Thanks."
"Young master, you're welcome."
After a while, a woman in green clothes came into the room. She was about 20 or 30 years old. She was slightly fat and not very beautiful, but she was very attractive.
"What information does this young master want to know?"
"Dongting Dragon Lord."
The woman's eyes lit up slightly after hearing this.
"Which way?"
"Something interesting." Wu Sheng said with a smile.
"Interesting? Master, can you tell me in more detail?" the woman asked with a smile after hearing this.
