Chapter 293: Smoke and Rain Nine Rivers
The drizzle was continuous, like fog and smoke. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe weeping willows on the shore are green, dancing lightly in the wind in the smoke and rain. The white sails on the river are like clouds, shuttling and swimming.
Jiujiang City in late autumn is moist, soft, beautiful, and charming, like an elegant and gentle beauty, with a kind of gentleness that goes deep into the bone marrow.
In contrast, the autumn colors of Tianyue Capital are too bleak and too rough.
Gao Zhengyang stood on the bow of a light boat, looking at the scenery of Jiujiang City, and couldn't help but admire.
Such a scenery, delicate as picturesque, delicate as embroidery, soft as poetry.
"Master, the autumn rain is wet and cold, be careful of catching a cold...... "A fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl handed Gao Zhengyang an oil-paper umbrella a little shyly.
The little girl's eyebrows are picturesque, her complexion is fair, and her eyes are dark and shining. Dressed in plain gray clothes, his trouser legs were pulled up to his knees, hugging his beautiful calves and white tender feet.
The soft and innocent appearance makes people feel pity at first sight.
"Thank you, Xiaoyi. Gao Zhengyang took the umbrella and thanked him with a smile.
Gao Zhengyang is now incarnated as Wukong, a few inches shorter, and his muscles and bones are more restrained, and he is less domineering and flamboyant. The temperament is also more peaceful and warm.
Wearing a moon-white monk's robe, barefoot bastards, and holding a string of red sandalwood prayer beads in his hand. The clothes are very simple, but they are clean and spotless.
Especially the eyes are as clear as water, without any impurities. The whole person is like a flawless jade, revealing that kind of bones and spirits, which makes people involuntarily feel close.
In fact, there is not much difference between people's facial features, but the small shapes and arrangements are different, and there are thousands of kinds of appearances. No matter how similar everyone looks like, it will never be exactly the same.
And different experiences, identities, and abilities will give people a variety of temperaments.
Some people are naturally disgusting, and some people are born to be liked.
When Gao Zhengyang first incarnated as Wukong, he was thinking about brushing his face to live. Adjust your facial features and body to an optimal state.
He has a strong fist and spirit, and he has the wisdom and power accumulated in two lifetimes, so it is even easier to adjust his inner bearing.
This appearance is that a strong person like Princess Yuzhen should be moved. Not to mention a teenage girl with little experience.
Gao Zhengyang's smile was elegant and gentle, and the little girl who smiled was dizzy. Somehow, she was even more nervous. The delicate and white little face turned a little redder.
"Master, you're welcome. ”
Although Xiao Yi is shy, she still seems quite generous in her response. After a polite and polite remark, he quickly retreated to the cabin.
Gao Zhengyang couldn't help but admire, the women in the waters of Jiangguo are really as gentle and delicate as water in their bones. Even if it's a little boat girl, it's quite good.
This kind of temperament is very similar to the Jiangnan water town in his previous life.
A few days after coming to Jiujiang City, Gao Zhengyang had already fallen in love with this gentle and charming water.
"Senior brother, that is Wolong Mountain, and the lower courtyard of the dragon descending is on the mountain......"
Yuanfeng, who was standing next to Gao Zhengyang, suddenly pointed to a mountain peak next to the waterfront and said.
This mountain peak is no more than a hundred feet high, and the mountain is gentle and winding like a long dragon. The highest part of the mountain is on the side of the river.
On the peaks of the mountain, which are like dragons, there are many palaces and pavilions. In the misty smoke and rain, those palaces and pavilions are a little less brilliant, but a little more hazy and fairy.
In this weather, there are still many believers and pilgrims on Wolong Mountain. An oil-paper umbrella is like a variety of strange yellow flowers.
Yuan Feng said beside him: "There are more than 100,000 monks and more than 10 million believers in the lower courtyard of the dragon, which is the largest ten-party jungle in Jiujiang City. The Shingon Sect is extremely powerful here, and it does things tactfully, handing over to the royal family and magnates, and handing over to the heroes of all parties, making friends with all forces, and never taking the initiative to cause trouble. No one dares to touch them in Jiujiang City, and no one can touch them......"
Speaking of the majesty of the lower courtyard of the dragon, Yuanfeng, who was full of wind and frost, also had a complicated expression, a little envy, and some disagreed.
The Vajra sect is the first major sect of Buddhism, believing in the unity of cultivation and practice, and the unity of body and mind. His precepts are also the strictest in Buddhism.
Because the Vajra sect is too strict, it is far inferior to other sects in terms of absorbing believers and pilgrims. But it is also this kind of strict precept that makes the Vajra Sect talented people come out in large numbers. Although the number of people is small, the overall strength is firmly in the top three of the ten.
When Wuxiang came out of nowhere, he ascended to the throne of the Buddha Emperor with his peerless talent and means. The Vajra Sect also gained momentum. But in Jiujiang City, the Vajra Sect only has a small lower courtyard, and the number of people is only a few dozen.
The lower courtyard of the dragon descending is so luxurious and rich, Yuanfeng can't look down on it. But for the development of Shingon Buddhism, he couldn't help but envy it.
"Senior brother seems to have a lot of resentment against the Descending Dragon Lower Courtyard......" Gao Zhengyang joked.
In the past few days when he came to Jiujiang City, Yuanfeng has always been receiving him. For this middle-aged monk with a somewhat square character, he still appreciates it very much.
Yuan Feng frowned and said, "The Descending Dragon Courtyard is very prosperous, but there are some people in it who don't follow the rules. Corruption of internal luxury, alas......"
As a monk who strictly abides by the precepts, Yuanfeng really can't accept the practice of some monks in the lower courtyard of the dragon.
Any organization or force will inevitably breed all kinds of problems after reaching a certain level. This is human nature, which can only be controlled as much as possible, but it is impossible to completely eliminate it.
With such a large scale and such a large force in the lower courtyard of the dragon, I don't know how many interests are entangled in it. It's normal to have something to do.
Gao Zhengyang laughed instead, if the lower court of the dragon descending court is strict, it will be troublesome.
He said to Yuanfeng: "I'm going to trouble Senior Brother this time." ”
Yuanfeng waved his hand and said: "They are all the same door, and the junior brother will see the outside when he says so." ”
After a pause, he said: "The lower courtyard of the dragon descending is extravagant and flashy, and the junior brother has entered the lower courtyard of the descending dragon, remember to strictly abide by the precepts." ”
Wukong's identity is so secret, only Wuxiang and Obscure are known in Buddhism. Yuanfeng naturally didn't know that the person in front of him was Gao Zhengyang, and he couldn't imagine that his real purpose was not to learn the mantra, but to borrow the Supreme Treasure Dragon Heart Bodhi Mirror from the Lower Courtyard of the Dragon Descending Courtyard.
Gao Zhengyang smiled and replied: "This is nature. The junior disciple will never disgrace the sect. ”
The light boat goes down the river, as fast as a galloping horse. In less than an hour, we arrived at the pier at the foot of Wolong Mountain.
This is exactly the place where the river turns, and the current is gentle, which is just right for boats.
The light boat docked against the shore, and Gao Zhengyang saluted the old boatman, "Thank you, old donor." ”
Yuanfeng also gave a gift at the same time and gave enough money for the boat. The two of them went ashore.
Seeing Gao Zhengyang leaving, the girl named Xiao Yi was a little reluctant, and she dared to ask, "Master, are you going to stay in the lower courtyard of the dragon descending?"
"yes. Will not leave for a short time. Gao Zhengyang smiled at Xiao Yi before turning to leave.
Seeing the moon-white monk's robe drifting away, Xiao Yi's face showed a little reluctance.
The old boatman sighed lightly, "Miss, you have to stay away from this monk." ”
Xiao Yi raised his chin, his big bright and black eyes flashed with a strange light, and he said with some pride: "The world-famous Wukong really deserves his reputation." I didn't wait in vain for the past three days. ”
After a pause, he said, "I like it very much." I've got to get him!"
Xiao Yi is very shy in front of Gao Zhengyang, but in front of his own people, he has a lofty flamboyance.
The old boatman's black and yellow face showed a little helplessness, "Miss, although Wukong's cultivation is not high, he is an important person in the Vajra Sect. We can't touch him. ”
"Hmph, who in Jiujiang City dares not to give us face. You go and say a word to Yuantong and ask him to send Wukong over obediently. ”
Xiao Yi has been rampant in this water since she was a child, and although the lower courtyard of the dragon descending is powerful, she doesn't pay much attention to it.
The old boatman could only sigh again and again, these three young ladies had never left Jiujiang City, let alone encountered setbacks. There is a sense of unscrupulousness in his bones. But no matter how powerful the ten sects of Buddhism were, it was not something that their Jiujiang Gang could afford to provoke.
It's just that this third lady is too young, and these truths are not clear to her. I still waited back for the chief helm and made it clear to the chief helmsman.
This is really not a trivial matter, and the third lady must not be allowed to mess around. If one is not good, it may invite great disaster.
Thinking of this, the old boatman stepped up his hands, and the light boat went upstream, but the speed became faster and faster.
"Uncle Yu, what are you doing so quickly!" Xiao Yi shouted with some dissatisfaction. She stared at the moon-white figure that walked up the winding steps, her little face glowing with excitement.
She actually doesn't know much about the relationship between men and women, but she instinctively likes beautiful and delicate things. In her opinion, Gao Zhengyang is the kind of good thing that must be obtained.
Gao Zhengyang, who climbed Wolong Mountain, suddenly felt a sense and looked back. I see a light boat moving away quickly.
Xiao Yi saw Gao Zhengyang turn around and waved happily. For some reason, she is always a little shy about Gao Zhengyang.
Gao Zhengyang smiled and waved his hand.
Yuanfeng also turned around, and he frowned slightly and said, "Senior brother, this girl is too fair-skinned, her fingers and soles are delicate, and her cultivation is only afraid that she is at the level of the fourth or fifth order." It is by no means a person who grows on the surface of the water to beg for a living. It's probably the Jiujiang Gang. ”
Although Yuanfeng is a square person, his vision is very keen and sophisticated. He had long seen that there was something wrong with the girl and the old boatman.
"The Jiujiang Gang has a large number of people, in charge of all kinds of ships and water transportation, and has been entrenched in Jiujiang for thousands of years. The relationship has long penetrated into all levels of Jiujiang City, and it is the overlord of this water. They have their own rules for doing things. Extremely difficult. Whoever comes here must have a good relationship with them, otherwise it will be difficult to move an inch......"
Yuanfeng Zhengse said: "The Jiujiang Gang is a group of people who are inseparable from good and evil, and the most important interests are interests. Junior disciples must be careful of them. ”
The last sentence is a bit of a warning. It's just that Yuanfeng is not familiar with Gao Zhengyang in the end, and some things are not easy to say too directly.
"That's what Senior Brother said. Gao Zhengyang nodded yes. He understood what Yuanfeng meant, this senior brother didn't speak very well, but he meant a lot.
Gao Zhengyang is not interested in causing trouble now, he is killing all sides in Tianyue, and he is majestic. But forcibly increase the power and induce the protosaurus fusion. It caused great damage to both his body and his martial spirit.
He had expected to recover within a year, but upon re-examination, he found that the condition was ten times worse than he expected.
It will take at least three or five years to heal with normal rest. There are only two years left before the Buddha's Birthday Conference, and there is not much time left for him.
These injuries are self-inflicted and difficult to heal with external force.
Although Wuxiang has nine-turn nasturtium petals there, it doesn't help much for this injury.
The dragon heart bodhi mirror that can illuminate the true heart is the best choice.
The same is true of the phase.
But the Dragon Heart Bodhi Mirror is the treasure of the Shingon Sect, and it is difficult to interfere without appearance. The suzerain of Shingon Buddhism is colorless and ill-intentioned. Gao Zhengyang didn't want to make any deal with him.
Moreover, according to Buddhist records, there is really a divine dragon sleeping in Wolong Mountain.
For the dragon heart Bodhi mirror, but also for the sleeping dragon. Gao Zhengyang must come.
