Myths and Dharma, starting from Erlang Shen

Chapter 516 Uncle, Don’t Be Jealous
"Madam, this is the loss suffered by Guanjiangkou due to the flood this time."

"We have built temporary shelters for the refugees and distributed food, but there are too many people and we can't provide them with enough food at once."

……

At Guanjiangkou, in the temporary command room in the paradise formed by Ji Ren's army, Guan Yan listened to the reports of her subordinates. Her pretty face revealed a sense of powerlessness, like a withered flower.

The Guanjiang River was flooded and people were displaced. The royal family of this small mortal country was directly destroyed. The world lost order, so the gods must be held responsible.

Coincidentally, she is the highest-ranking deity in the local area.

But she had never come into contact with disaster relief.

We can only send people to maintain order first, avoid man-made disasters caused by natural disasters, and then continue to send food.

But there is not enough food here, and she doesn't know how to create something out of nothing.

If you want to live by the mountain and eat by the water, you can go fishing in Guanjiang River. However, demons first caused chaos and killed the water god of Guanjiang River. Later, crab demons caused chaos and caused floods. As a result, ordinary creatures in Guanjiang River also suffered heavy casualties. Guan Yan has to protect the remaining ones.

After all, she is the water god of Guanjiang River. If all the people at the mouth of Guanjiang River died, she would not be punished. But if all the aquatic creatures in Guanjiang River died and affected Guanjiang River, she would be punished.

The former had never been encountered before, and could only be attempted based on common sense, but the latter had not even been attempted.

Speaking of which, why did she become the water god of Guanjiang River and be responsible for the lives of the aquatic creatures in Guanjiang River?
Mushou's side seemed to be more difficult than she had imagined.

"Uncle Kang, you are experienced. Do you know how to deal with these things? Especially those from aquatic creatures?" Guan Yan looked at Kang Zhong with hope.

"Young Madam, I am the young master's retainer. I know the young master's situation. How can we have the opportunity to get involved in disaster relief? As for the aquatic creatures, let alone them, I can only eat them." Kang Zhong said helplessly.

How could he, a normal human, know how to govern and develop the aquatic creatures?

Guan Yan showed a helpless look, what should she do?

The brain is not enough, an external brain is needed.

No, why hasn’t Ji Ren come back yet?
"What's wrong? Why are you so sad?"

At this moment, the figures of Ji Ren and Master Huang Long appeared at the same time.

"You are finally back."

Seeing Ji Ren coming back, Guan Yan breathed a sigh of relief, and then without thinking, he threw a bunch of information to Ji Ren and said, "This is the situation of Guanjiangkou and Guanjiang. The disaster is serious this time, and you need to deal with it."

"Hmm?" Ji Ren's eyes were wide open, full of confusion?

I just came back and you're assigning me a job?
"What? I'm working for you. Isn't this what you should do?" Guan Yan said righteously.

"I actually want to help you to better fit the Dharmakaya. Think about your ancestors who guarded Jingzhou in the past, resisted Cao Cao in the north, and defended against Sun Quan in the east. If you get closer to the Dharmakaya, you can strengthen yourself." Ji Ren said.

"When our ancestor was guarding the city, he had civil officials under his command, not just him. Moreover, our ancestor has become a mythical figure. Is it necessary to refer to the human world?" Guan Yan said.

“Yes.” Ji Ren said. No one knew what the mythical Guan Yu did, so they must have referred to history.

"Shouldn't you be the one to come? What if I'm as careless as my ancestors and lose the Guanjiang River?" Guan Yan said.

“You have to believe in yourself, surpass the Dharma, and surpass your ancestors.” Ji Ren encouraged her with his fists clenched.

"Come on, get to work!"

Guan Yan didn't listen to Ji Ren. She would be tricked into doing things that she could do, but she wouldn't be able to do things that she couldn't do no matter how you tricked her.

Just like a math problem, if you don’t know how to do it, you just don’t know how to do it.

I was so angry that I couldn't do it.

"Okay, let's find an agent." Seeing that he couldn't fool people, Ji Ren began to chant a spell, and a stream of light was injected into the ground.

But there was no response for a long while. Ji Ren looked at Master Huang Long in surprise and asked, "Uncle Master, what's going on?"

He clearly recited a spell to exorcise the gods, and the land god of Guanjiangkou should have come out.

The land god usually lives a long time and knows a lot. Such a person can help Guan Yan solve many problems. "I don't know. You can go to the South Sea and ask your uncle Cihang." Huang Long Zhenren said.

"Uncle Master?" Upon hearing this, Ji Ren immediately turned his head to look at Master Huang Long. Looking at that not-so-handsome face, he vaguely saw the word "jealous". He was surprised, and then he suddenly realized something. He immediately moved closer and said in a voice transmission, "Uncle Master, you and Uncle Ci Hang are definitely closer to each other. In my heart, Uncle Huang Long is the best uncle master."

If you don't transmit the message, Guanyin Bodhisattva might hear it.

After all, the distance is close, and Ji Ren even has a white jade statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva on his body.

"Don't give me that. When you're with Cihang, you use honorifics all the time and praise her endlessly. But why aren't you like that when you're with me?" Zhenren Huanglong shook his head.

Your kindness is taken as an insult.

"Uncle Master, this is different." Ji Ren discovered the crux of the matter and immediately defended himself, "It's because we are familiar with each other that we are not polite. The more unfamiliar we are, the more polite we are. I'm sorry, thank you, these words are all said to strangers, why do we need to be so polite to our family members? I respect Uncle Master Cihang, but Uncle Cihang is an uncle and an outsider, but you are different, you are one of our family members, so I never show courtesy to you, Uncle Master, I know you won't blame me?"

"Really?" Master Huanglong looked at Ji Ren suspiciously.

"Really. Uncle Master, think about it, if there are two fathers and each has a son studying abroad, and then they write letters to their sons, one writes, 'My dear son, you are going to school and experiencing hardships, and you must cultivate a will as strong as a rock and a character as beautiful as jade. Your father wanted to give you treasures to commend you, but he is afraid that you will become anxious and lose your ambition, so he turns it into a warning', and the other says, 'Son, take care of yourself, study hard, don't be frugal, spend when you should', who do you think has a better relationship with his son?" Ji Ren asked.

"The latter." Zhenren Huanglong said without hesitation.

What the previous statement makes a lot of sense, but if you don’t know, you might think it’s a superior asking subordinates to do something.

“So, my relationship with Uncle Cihang is shallow, and I only say nice things to him. But when we are with Uncle Cihang, we don’t need to be like that. We can communicate directly. In my heart, Uncle Cihang is a family member.” Ji Ren said.

"So, you and girl Guan Yan both came to me to borrow rare treasures." Zhenren Huanglong said thoughtfully, as if this was the truth.

"Yes, and Uncle-Master, yes." Ji Ren said.

Not borrowing.

If you borrow something, you have to return it. If you take something, you don’t have to return it.

As your nephew, I won't lie to you.

Zhenren Huanglong frowned again and said, "Why don't you just stop treating me as a family member?"

I suspect you are fooling me.

Seeing that Master Huanglong's face had returned to calm, Ji Ren secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He had never expected that this could lead to a situation where the water was not evenly distributed and a Shura Field would be triggered. Fortunately, he was experienced and could handle it with ease. He immediately asked, "Uncle Master, why can't I call out the land god?"

"Because he is still trying hard to drill. He is now 28,000 miles underground. This old man has drilled too deep." As Huang Long Zhenren said this, he waved his hand. A yellow light flew over, and a little old man, about one foot tall, with the body of a child but the appearance of an old man, emerged.

"See the Immortal!"

The little old man came out of the land and bowed.

“No need to be polite. He is my uncle, Huanglong Zhenren from Erxian Mountain. I am the third-generation chief of the Chan sect, the new Erlang Shen Ji Ren, and she is the water god of Guanjiang River. Now Guanjiang River is suffering from a disaster. As the God of Land, do you know what to do?” Ji Ren asked. Although the God of Land does not have a high level of cultivation, he usually lives long and knows a lot of things.

"I dare not call you Master. You can just call me Land God. I understand disaster relief. I also know a little about some things in the water." Land God said humbly.

"Well done, Land, I think you really have the talent of a dragon and a phoenix." Ji Ren exclaimed.

Dealing with these things is too cumbersome, and Ji Ren now complains that he doesn’t have enough time to practice.

How can I have the mind to think about this?

The land worker in Guanjiangkou is a very good person.

When Guan Yan saw this scene, his eyes lit up and he asked, "When are we going back to Da Qi?"

Now that Great Qi is going to be taken away by King Wei, Zhuge Qinglan will most likely not continue working there, which means he will retire in a different way.

Wouldn't she have to capture him and make him the prime minister of her Guanjiang Water Palace?
That’s right, surpassing our ancestors. When our ancestors were guarding Jingzhou, if Zhuge Wuhou had been there, Jingzhou would not have been lost.

To surpass my ancestors, I must start by having the Prime Minister work for me.

If we go back to Da Qi, we have to kneel down and ask the Prime Minister to come. Otherwise, it will be too difficult.
