Son-in-law of Chenglong

Chapter 38 The Lion King Bodhisattva
Xiao Nan specially gave Zhu Xiong a ride, and dropped Zhu Xiong on the East Sea, but could not enter the sea, turned to the west, and flew for another two days before arriving at Mount Wutai.

Mount Wutai is majestic and majestic. There are countless Guange temples and nunneries on the mountain. There are five peaks that are obviously thicker than the rest of the peaks.

Sitting on the red cloud, Wang Chong asked in a daze, "Master, why is there a temple on Mount Wutai?"

Xiao Nan replied: "Apart from Patriarch Sa, Patriarch Zhang Zhenjun also passed down another apprentice. After that Patriarch learned about his ascension, he was given a bad job, so he was awarded the position of Lingguan, which is far behind Patriarch Sa. The teacher's role is twofold!"

"I happened to hear that the heavenly court gave some preferential treatment to the disciples of the Buddhist family, so I changed my family, entered the Buddhist sect, ascended, and was named the Lion King Bodhisattva! I was promoted to three fruit positions, and my status was higher than that of the ancestor Sa. Therefore, In Wutai, there is an additional lineage of Buddhism, and the Taoism inherited is also different from the lineage of Patriarch Sa."

Zhu Ying said: "The Huang Xuanyuan we met last time was born in the lineage of Ciyun Temple, which is the inheritance of this ancestor. It's just that the transmission of Ciyun Temple is not authentic and cannot be included in the Wutai ancestral tree. "

Xiao Nan smiled and said, "Indeed."

Xiao Nan pointed to the five tallest peaks and said, "These five peaks are the dojos of Patriarch Zhang Zhenjun, Patriarch Sa, Lion Zunwang Bodhisattva, Patriarch Three Generations, and Patriarch Tuotuo."

"After three generations of patriarchs went mad, Tuotuo patriarch temporarily assumed the position of deputy leader."

"Now Patriarch Bai Yue is not here, we have to report to Patriarch Tuotuo and include the two of you in the ancestral tree."

Xiao Nan said it was easy, but in fact he was quite insecure in his heart, but he had to pass this test after all, so he could only bite the bullet and took two apprentices straight to Wanghai Peak.

Wanghai Peak is one of the five main peaks in Wutai, the most to the east, but it is still far away from the East China Sea, and you can't see the vast sea when you climb the mountain, you can only wait and see the sea of ​​clouds.

The top of the mountain was originally a Taoist temple. Later, the ancestor Tuotuo heard people say that now Taoist disciples ascended to the top, and they have no serious duties, so they changed their Buddhist attire and went to the Taoist ancestor of the lineage of the Lion King Bodhisattva to seek the Dharma. Dual practice of Buddhism and Taoism, just waiting for ascension.

In order to show his respect, Xiao Nan took two apprentices and landed on the mountainside, took the red cloud and still turned it into a red flower, and put it in his arms.

He didn't take a few more steps up the mountain, when a little novice came down from the top of the mountain, saw Xiao Nan, and said with a smile, "So it's Senior Brother Xiao Nan, why did you go back to the mountain?"

Xiao Nan replied: "Some things, I want to ask Master Tuotuo. Brother Miaohe, is the ancestor on the mountain?"

Miaohe's little novice said with a smile: "Master has just left the customs, and it's just in time for you to go up. I still have some things to do. Let's go ahead and talk about it later."

The little novice passed by Xiao Nan, walked halfway up the mountain, and turned into a blue rainbow soaring into the sky. It was in the clouds for a while, flashed a few times, and disappeared without a trace.

Zhu Ying looked envious and said, "I don't know when Wang Chong and I will have such cultivation."

Xiao Nan said: "Junior Brother Miaohe is the No. 18 disciple of Patriarch Tuotuo. He is unparalleled in talent. He has been in Taoism for 22 years. His cultivation level is already higher than mine. He is a disciple of five generations of Wutai Sect. He can be ranked in the top ten. You and Chong'er , I’m afraid I won’t be able to catch up with this person in 50 years.”

Xiao Nan didn't actually mention the time, he thought that Wang Chong would not be able to catch up with Miaohe within 50 years. As for Zhu Ying, he was afraid that Miaohe would pull him even further behind in 50 years.

The three masters and apprentices talked about it, and when they got to the top of the peak, they saw a magnificent and majestic temple. After all, Xiao Nan was a disciple of the Wutai Sect, so he went straight into the temple.

When Wang Chong entered the temple, he peeked at the plaque, which had the three characters of Nanchan Temple on it.

After entering the Nanchan Temple, Xiao Nan didn't dare to go further in, he stopped a passing monk and said, "This junior, can you inform me that Xiao Nan is under the Baiyue Gate to see you."

The monk recognized Xiao Nan, and said with a smile, "Brother Xiao Nan, wait a moment."

Not long after he went in, he came out and said, "The Patriarch let you in."

Xiao Nan took Zhu Ying and Wang Chong, followed the young monks, bypassed the main hall, and met Patriarch Tuotuo in a clean meditation room to the east.

The patriarch was quite old, maybe seven or eighty years old, with a bald head, a long beard fluttering under his chin, and white as silver frost, but he was not wearing a monk's robe, but just a common dress.

Seeing Xiao Nan, Tuotuo Patriarch asked, "Why did you come back to the mountain?"

Xiao Nan replied cautiously: "The disciple saw a beautiful and talented person, and wanted to accept him as an apprentice, but Master Bai Yue was not here, so he came to ask his uncle for permission."

Patriarch Tuotuo glanced at Zhu Ying and Wang Chong, and said, "This boy can do it, but a girl can't. She's not a human race."

Xiao Nan said in a low voice: "The two already have a marriage contract."

Zhu Ying's pretty face was flushed, but she didn't argue, she acquiesced.

Wang Chong glanced at the teacher, then at Zhu Ying, and didn't make a sound. He now knows the Wutai School's rules, and thought, "I just wronged sister Zhu."

Patriarch Tuotuo pondered slightly, and said: "It's not against the sect's rules to count it as a relative's refuge. But you have to make the girl swear that if you reconcile in the future, you have to remove the ancestral tree. As for how to deal with it, you can see for yourself." Do it."

Tuotuo patriarch was so eloquent, but Xiao Nan didn't expect it, so he agreed and made Zhu Ying swear. Tutuo patriarch called an apprentice and asked him to fetch the ancestral genealogy, and filled in the names of Zhu Ying and Wang Chong with his own handwriting. go up.

Wang Chong didn't think much of the fact that his name was on the ancestral tree, but Zhu Ying was overjoyed, her pretty face bloomed like a different flower, and she was unparalleled in beauty.

Xiao Nan understood the important matter and wanted to quit, but Tuotuo stopped him and said, "You also know that I didn't allow my master's permission. According to the school rules, I couldn't accept apprentices. I made an exception and took the responsibility for you. You have to do it for me. Do one thing."

"I want to make a furnace of flying swords, and now I have almost collected all the materials, and there are still more than ten elixirs that I have no time to collect by myself. I have sent out all the apprentices under my sect, but I am still afraid that there will be insufficient manpower, so you go too Help me get the medicine."

Xiao Nan couldn't refuse, and said, "After I arrange two apprentices, I'll go gather medicine."

Patriarch Tuotuo smiled and said, "You don't have a cave on the mountain, so how do you place your disciples? You go to gather herbs, and these two little ones can stay in my Nanchan Temple."

"It just so happens that I have learned a sword technique recently, and I want to pass it on to my disciples and grandchildren. Let you two disciples follow along and learn it together."

It was not easy for Xiao Nan to refuse, so he could only agree, and then instructed Zhu Ying and Wang Chong, took the list of elixir, controlled the sword light, and left Nanchan Temple.

Tuotuo ordered the young monk who led the way to arrange accommodation for Zhu Ying and Wang Chong, and he didn't bother to say anything to the two juniors.

As far as Patriarch Tuotuo is concerned, he just formed a small good relationship with Xiao Nan, a direct disciple of senior brother, and doing it casually is not worth worrying about.
