Hong Kong comprehensive begins, seek the law from the heavens

Chapter 508 Maritime Merchants

After Wen Chenghuang came out of Huaguo Mountain, he followed Sun Wukong's instructions and found a place to preach in Aolai Kingdom.

Riding on the clouds on the sea, she seriously thought about where she should preach in the Aolai Kingdom.

Although the legend of Journey to the West is widely circulated in the fundamental world, even children can refer to the famous sects in it to know where not to go and where to go.

But after he actually came to the world of Journey to the West alone, even though he was confined to a small area like Aolai Country, Wen Chenghuang's eyes darkened.

It was a coincidence that she arrived. The Mazu Temple arrived outside Bohai City not long ago, suppressing the surrounding wind and waves and allowing Bohai City's maritime trade to resume normal operations. Therefore, there were many merchant ships coming and going in the surrounding waters.

Wen Chenghuang thought that he would first enter the merchant ship, find the mortals among them, inquire about the situation, and then decide where to preach.

She had just disappeared and was about to land on a cargo ship. Suddenly, the statue on the bow of the ship shone brightly, and a divine light invisible to ordinary people blocked Wen Chenghuang's falling cloud frame.

Oops!

Wen Chenghuang secretly cursed himself as a fool. He had stayed in the fundamental world for a long time, so he did not realize the "cultural difference" between the world of Journey to the West and the fundamental world. In the past, magical powers were not obvious in the fundamental realm, and those with magical powers did not have to worry about anything.

But in the world of Journey to the West, a land where gods, demons, immortals and Buddhas dance wildly, even a small merchant ship has corresponding forces guarding it behind it.

Fortunately, the "Avalokitesvara Sutra" she practices is a wonderful method passed down by the old mother Wu Sheng. As long as she does not reveal her magic skills, even the gods will have a hard time distinguishing that she is a demon instead of a god.

The patron saint of the ship is the Navigation God of Mazu Temple. He is a god comparable to a heavenly god. He just sensed the power of Karma invading his domain from a distance, so he appeared from a distance.

The God of Sea Navigation was wearing golden armor, holding a three-headed fork, and looked at Wen Chenghuang solemnly.

In his eyes, Wen Chenghuang manifested a female form, which was wonderful and vaguely solemn. Therefore, Haihang God initially judged that this was a serious monk with a background, so he did not take action immediately, but asked.

"Where are you as a monk? Why did you use your magic power for no reason to descend on the ship I was guarding?"

Wen Chenghuang's thoughts raced, and he suddenly thought that he was similar to Bai Suzhen. Although he was a 'demon', he was a demon with a background, and there was no need to hide it.

So he raised his hands and said, "I originally practiced Taoism under the seat of the Wusheng Mother. Later, I was enlightened by the Great Sage Qitian and wanted to preach in Aolai Country."

Wen Chenghuang's words directly silenced the God of Sea Navigation. These words were no less lethal than Bai Suzhen's words, "I originally practiced Taoism under the Mother's throne in Lishan, received Guanyin's enlightenment, and came to Hangzhou to end my mortal bond."

After all, even in the world of Journey to the West, a Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian and a Fighting Saint Buddha can still walk sideways.

The God of Sea Navigation has no doubt that it exists. This place is not far from the dojo where the Buddha fought and conquered. If Wen Chenghuang dares to lie, he will immediately be punished. And even if he lies, there is no need to add Wusheng Old Mother in front of him.

He quickly cupped his hands and said, "It turns out that Gao Dao came to the world to preach."

Wen Chenghuang was not arrogant. His family knew about his affairs. Although he had the support of his boss, the things he had to accomplish were not easy, so it was best to keep quiet.

Then he said, "I just want to enter the merchant ship and understand the lives of ordinary people now, so that I can know what Taoism I should preach. This matter is related to the calculation of my mother and the great sage, so fellow Taoists should not say anything."

The God of Sea Navigation nodded repeatedly to indicate that he understood, and then released the divine light to let Wen Chenghuang enter.

Wen Chenghuang entered the cabin and came to the top floor, where the bosses lived. She hid aside and listened to what the merchants were discussing.

The atmosphere in the cabin is quite lively. This ship travels between Bohai City and the surrounding islands. It is not a big maritime merchant, so it is often four or five small maritime merchants who rent a ship together to do business.

After a while, one of the businessmen named Zhu took out a compass. This compass not only contained longitude and latitude, but also could display images like an electronic instrument in the fundamental world.

The businessman surnamed Zhu took a look and said to his companions around him, "There are about three hours left before we can arrive at the port smoothly."

Among his companions, a businessman named Hu Wenquan looked at the compass in Zhu Guangyu's hand with envy. Along the way, they all saw the benefits of the compass and knew that even ordinary people could operate it and could check the astronomical phenomena, hours, hydrology, and even Zhu Guangyu. When Guangyu was drunk, he showed off, "This compass can also be used as a life-saving instrument in times of danger."

Hu Wenquan said, "After selling the Ganoderma lucidum from Hongxia Island this time, I will also buy a compass like this."

Zhu Guangyu waved his hand, "It's hard for you to buy this compass."

The three merchants next to him said with a smile, "Lao Zhu, don't be too pretentious. You've made the brothers jealous of this compass along the way. Tell us how to buy it, and we'll definitely be rewarded in the future."

Zhu Guangyu replied, "I don't dare to show off in front of my old brothers, but this compass is a treasure given to me by my youngest son, who is valued by the Mo family, and given by the master of the Mo family."

"Mo Family? But the Mo Family disciples who were brought by the abandoned disciples of the Mo Family last month?"

Wei Song killed the Ye family, a big family in Bohai City, and then helped the Maritime Merchants Alliance to bring back the Mazu statue. His prestige in Bohai City is not small.

Zhu Guangyu frowned and said, "Master Wei is not an abandoned disciple of the Mohist family. Before, Master Wei only had a small conflict with his master, but they soon reconciled. The Mohist disciples who came here also said that Master Wei came to our Bohai City this time. Preaching is very valued by our ancestor Mozi. Mozi is so sacred, and he is our humane sage..."

Everyone did not want to hear Zhu Guangyu praise Mozi. After all, only your boy has entered the Mo family. One of them interrupted, "So as long as the disciples in the family join the Mo family, they can get this compass?"

The business of the few of them is not bad, and the family is prosperous. It is also a good choice to join the Mo family. Unlike before, the entire Aolai country is like a pool of stagnant water. Except for those wealthy families who have the opportunity to seek enlightenment, ordinary people have no chance to seek enlightenment. Money, unless the destiny of immortality arrives, it will never enter the Tao.

Not only were they unable to enter Taoism, but there were also reports that many big businessmen were defrauded of all their property by some heretical sorcery. Therefore, gradually, everyone gave up the idea of ​​cultivating Taoism.

But it's different now. It seems that as long as you pay a little price, anyone can practice Taoism.

"Of course it's not that simple."

Zhu Guangyu said proudly, "The boy in my family has been active since he was a child. He has wisdom and is valued by both the Mohist and White Lotus sects. The Mohist sect gave him treasures and revealed magical methods, so I finally chose the Mohist sect."

White Lotus Sect.

Several maritime merchants looked at each other and didn't care much about Zhu Guangyu's words that his son had wisdom. It is not unusual for the White Lotus Sect to preach in Bohai City. However, the White Lotus Sect only teaches skills and rarely teaches Taoism. Moreover, after entering the White Lotus Sect, you have to fight for the followers and fight with Buddhism every now and then. This For some time, both sides suffered heavy casualties.

The only good thing is that the battle between the White Lotus Sect and Buddhism is like a battle between gentlemen. It is limited to monks on both sides and will not affect ordinary people.

Zhu Guangyu sighed and said, "Actually, what my boy wants to worship most is the Maoshan Dao Line. I heard that the Maoshan Dao Line Daozi is the son of destiny in this era. Not only in our world, he competes with the Dragon Mother to become a god, but also in many worlds. There are no taboos, and it’s the most popular thing in the world.”

"But the Maoshan Dao Meridian is divided into the Lower Court and the Upper Court. My boy entered the Lower Court, but was frightened away by the request to enter the Upper Court."

Everyone knows the power of Maoshan Dao Mai in Bohai City. Although the Mo family and the White Lotus Sect have big bosses behind them, anyone with a discerning eye can see that these two families are led by Maoshan Dao Mai.

The White Lotus Sect often claims that the Maoshan Taoist Master is their holy son, but he is currently practicing in the Maoshan Taoist line, which makes people laugh.

"That's right, the lower courtyard of Maoshan Dao Lineage is no different from the White Lotus Sect. I heard that they are all teaching techniques. It is not considered as an entrance to Maoshan. However, the requirements for entering the upper courtyard are too strict."

A maritime businessman who also asked his disciples to try it out sighed and said that to enter the Maoshan Daomai Upper Court, not only talent, but also character, and even good fortune must be tested. The complicated assessment mechanism is disappointing.

"So the Mo family is better."

Zhu Guangyu hurriedly promoted the Mohist family, "Take the Dinghailuo in my hand as an example. The functions of the Dinghailuo are not yet complete. I heard that the Mohist family will build thirty-six Babel towers in Bohai City in the future, connecting them within a radius of thousands of miles. The Dinghailuo allows us ordinary people to transmit sounds thousands of miles away."

······

After Wen Chenghuang listened for a while, he probably heard that Bohai City was the most prosperous city for cultivating immortals in Aolai Kingdom. Not only Lin Mosheng preached there, but also the White Lotus Sect, Buddhism, Taoism, Mohism, etc. It can be said that a hundred schools of thought contended.

If you preach there yourself, it is also an option. Anyway, Sun Wukong has not designated any remote place for him to preach. Naturally, the closer you are to Lin Mosheng and Sun Wukong's territory, the safer you will be.

I just don’t know if this can force Guanyin to reveal her true identity.

Wen Chenghuang secretly cast a spell to guide several people's conversation, and gained a better understanding of the current situation.

Three hours later, ships gradually docked at the port. Due to the rapid development of commerce, the original ship port in Bohai City was no longer enough, so the newly built ship port was still more than thirty miles away from Bohai City. Like Zhu Guangyu These small businessmen cannot compete with the big businessmen for the right to use the ship port in Bohai City, so they can only dock at the new small ship port.

This small boat port is not simple. Not only has a city wall been built, but it is also guarded day and night by a colorful divine light, and the great god of Mazu Temple is stationed there.

After getting off the boat, Zhu Guangyu and others were not happy when they saw the divine light above their heads. Instead, they cursed, "I don't know when this disaster of dragons and beasts will end."

Because the next thirty miles will be the real test for merchants like them. There are many dragon beasts along the way. The merchants need to hire powerful guards. But even so, when they encounter those who are originally dragons, but they lose Reason, becoming a practitioner of dragon beast is also a disaster.

"I don't know. With the magical powers of Empress Mazu and Lin Longjun, destroying these dragon beasts is as easy as drinking water. They..."

Hu Wenquan echoed.

Zhu Guangyu quickly covered Hu Wenquan's mouth, "Be careful what you say, there is a god three feet above your head!"

Hu Wenquan nodded, but in his heart he didn't care, because neither Mazu nor Lin Xuanji cared about this.

Zhu Guangyu thought for a while and explained the explanation he heard from the Mo family, "I heard that they were grateful to God for their good virtues, so they couldn't bear to exterminate the dragon beasts."

"The life of the dragon beast is life, isn't our life life?"

Hu Wenquan continued to complain.

"Okay, let's go to the employment market quickly and find Team Leader He from last time."

Leader He is the leader of a small practice team, similar to the Samsara team organization, except that the scope of issuing tasks and accepting tasks is the city lord's palace of Bohai City. Hu Wenquan and Zhu Guangyu have cooperated several times, and both parties are familiar with each other. trust.

Hu Wenquan and the remaining three merchants sighed inwardly, calculating the expenses they would have to pay. Businessmen with their strength could not afford to worship their own practitioners.

Hu Wenquan sighed and said, "Lao Zhu, in the future, if your son builds a road from the Mo family, he will no longer have to hire people from outside like us, and he can go on this trade road by himself."

"Yes, my son also wants to practice Taoism. Although the cost is a bit high, it is still better than hiring others all the time."

A businessman answered.

Although Zhu Guangyu agreed, he sneered at the words. His son would become a great monk in the future, or even become an immortal and a Buddha. How could he do such dirty work as a guard?

Suddenly, a beautiful figure came from a distance, wearing white clothes and holding a purification bottle. He bowed to several businessmen and said, "I have met several donors."

This person was none other than Wen Chenghuang. She learned about Bohai City from several businessmen and planned to choose these businessmen to help her preach.

Zhu Guangyu and others saw that Wen Chenghuang was clean and behaved like a master, so they quickly returned the greeting and said, "I have seen great virtues."

Wen Chenghuang said with a smile, "I just accidentally heard that some of you are going to return to Bohai City. I just happened to have returned from visiting friends overseas. Nowadays, this place has changed a lot, so I don't know the current situation of Bohai City. Can I go with you?" "

Zhu Guangyu and others looked at each other and asked, "I'm afraid the great virtue has been visiting friends for some time, right?"

Wen Chenghuang counted his fingers inexplicably and said, "It has been a hundred and twenty years since I left."

Zhu Guangyu immediately affirmed in his heart that this must be an immortal Buddha. However, as a businessman, of course he could not simply believe the other person's words, so he said, "The great virtue has been away for a long time. I am afraid that he is not aware of the changes here and has lost his mind." The dragon and beast are causing trouble, so there will be no peace of mind on the way back to the city."

Wen Chenghuang smiled and said, "I have also learned a few techniques to protect the Tao. What do you think of my techniques?"

After that, she took out two talismans and blew on them. The talismans immediately turned into a three-meter-tall mighty yellow turban warrior. Then Wen Chenghuang struck another move against the yellow turban warrior. The yellow turban warrior turned into two talismans again and fell into his hands. .
