Acting as a god and Buddha: starting from Guanzi

Chapter 152 Great God Luojia, the gift of adulthood

"The distinguished guest has come from afar, but I cannot welcome him."

The leader of the old man is also strong and strong, with a small snake with black scales and white stripes coiled on his shoulders, but his aura is extremely fierce. He is actually a Nascent Soul Realm Demon King!
Baimu and Bocha quickly shouted: "Grandpa Tulu."

This must be the clan leader. Meng Yuan immediately stepped forward and bowed his hands: "Clan leader, please don't blame me for coming here."

"It's okay. Our Luoyan Island is located in a remote area and few people come here. Please come to the clan to use some fruits." The old clan leader invited us very kindly.

"Thank you very much."

Meng Yuan and the others came to the place where they lived at the invitation of the old patriarch Tulu. It was on the edge of the canyon in the center of the island, but in the center was a bottomless pit dozens of miles wide, also known as Bocha. The Luojia Cave in the mouth.

Houses made of wood and stone surrounded this huge cave. Meng Yuan and the others were invited to the largest house among them, where the old patriarch lived.

"I wonder where the three of them came from?" the old patriarch asked.

Meng Yuan said: "The poor monk came from the coast of the South China Sea and the vast land."

"Oh? The wilderness is so far away." The old patriarch exclaimed.

"The old patriarch has been there?"

Tulu stroked his beard and said with a smile: "When I was young, I also visited various places in the sea. I had a great yearning for the wild land and visited some places. I think the guest should be a Buddhist disciple, so I called him little master."

Bocha on the side immediately interjected: "Grandpa Tulu, are there any bigger islands besides our Luoyan Island?"

"Hmph! Did you fall asleep again while the high priest was giving the lecture? You can't imagine how vast the world is!"

"I've never seen it, how would I know."

"What are you mumbling about? The high priest is praying for the young men who enter the Luojia cave on weekdays. If you don't go, if you can't make a contract with Luojia by then, I have a good wife!"

When Bocha heard this, he immediately ran away.

Tulu shook his head and smiled at Meng Yuan: "The three guests laughed."

"A young man with a bold mind, enthusiastic towards others, and a bright future." Meng Yuan shook his head.

At this time, Zhao Shan on the side asked: "Excuse me, old gentleman, have you lived here for generations and never thought of leaving?"

Although Luoyan Island is large, perhaps hundreds of miles wide, haven't Tulu and the others, who have lived here for generations, ever thought about leaving to live on land? After all, the old patriarch has been to the wild land.

Moreover, they can also control those terrifying giant snakes. As long as they do not offend the gods and forbidden areas, they should be able to cross the South China Sea.

Tulu sighed and said: "According to ancient books, our ancestors were exiled here and were constantly threatened by countless demons in the sea. Fortunately, with the help of the king of the Luojia tribe, the great god Luojia, we were able to gain a foothold and live on this island. Come down."

"We have signed a contract with the descendants of Lord Luojia to jointly protect the island. This is our duty."

It turns out that they still shoulder the ancient contract and need to protect this island.

"Great God Luojia? Is it possible that there is another god on the island?" Meng Yuan asked in surprise.

Tulu shook his head: "We really don't know whether the Great God Luojia is on the island. The ancient records were recorded thousands of years ago. Anyway, I have lived for more than 800 years and have never received a response from the Great God Luojia."

At this time, some tribesmen brought many rare and precious fruits.

Tulu immediately stretched out his hand and said, "Please use it, three guests. Although our Luoyan Island is not as spacious as Dahuang, the fruits on the island have a unique taste."

Zhao Shan, who had been eating seafood for several months, his eyes suddenly lit up and he said happily: "Then you're welcome, kid."

Manzhu was very happy to see so many fruits and looked at Meng Yuan.

"Eat the old patriarch's kindness."

When Manzhu heard this, she immediately reached out and picked out a snake-scaled fruit with red and blue lines, and bit into it with a look of happiness on her little face.

Tulu suddenly said: "This little girl shouldn't be a human race, right?"

"Old Patriarch Huiyan, she was the disciple accepted by the poor monk. She was originally the dragon girl of Shajie Tianlong Palace. She was sacrificed to the God of the Sea. Fortunately, she survived."

Meng Yuan took the opportunity to ask: "The poor monk came here to send her back to her hometown, but he didn't know where the gate of the Dragon Palace was. I think the old patriarch has lived here for a long time and should know it?"

"I see. I wonder why the Luojias on the island seem to have a slight change in their temperament. It turns out that the dragon girl is here."

"To be honest, young master, Dragon Palace was also on good terms with us originally. The Dragon King and I even had wine together. However, Dragon Palace seems to have rarely appeared in the world since more than ten years ago, and the friendship with me on Luoyan Island has also been broken. .”

"Oh? Why is this?" Meng Yuan asked.

Tulu shook his head. Once the Dragon Palace is closed, they will have no way to find it, even if they want to come and investigate.

Manzhu on the side also felt that the fruit in her hand was no longer fragrant when she heard this, and it had no taste when eating.

Meng Yuan fell into deep thought. Dragon Palace suddenly cut off contact with the outside world. Something must have happened.

I remember when she rescued Manzhu, she once said that her father had a big quarrel with several uncles. Could it be that there was internal strife?
Then he comforted Manzhu and said, "Don't worry, your parents are lucky and have their own destiny."

Tulu on the side immediately invited warmly: "Why don't the three guests stay here with me? I will ask the Luojias near the island to pay attention and let them know once the Dragon Palace is opened."

As a native of Honghai, it would be difficult to hide anything from him.

Meng Yuan also knew this, so he thanked the old patriarch.

"It just so happens that tomorrow is the day when our clan holds a coming-of-age ceremony for the young people in the clan. The three guests can watch from the sidelines."

"Thank you, old patriarch, for your kindness. I am very grateful to the poor monk."

"Haha, you're welcome."

Immediately, the old patriarch arranged a wooden house for Meng Yuan and the others, next to Bocha's home. "Master Miaowu, have you finished talking to Grandpa Tulu?" The young boy Bocha pulled out a snake from the room and threw it into the grass like noodles and said.

"Well, Bocha, where are your parents?"

"Grandpa Turu said they died when I was a child fighting the Kraken."

"Amitabha, good is good!"

In just a short while, Doucha threw out twenty or thirty spirit snakes from the house, all colorful and colorful, some of which were extremely poisonous at first sight.

This made Zhao Shan on the side turn pale, and asked tremblingly: "Will these snake Luojia still sneak into the house?"

"Yes, sometimes I wake up in the morning and my bed is all covered with it."

"hiss!"

When Bocha saw this, he realized: "Oh, it's okay. Don't worry, they won't bite. If they see you, just throw them out."

But even this made Zhao Shan feel very uncomfortable, and said to Meng Yuan on the side: "Holy Monk, can I tonight?"

Meng Yuan shook his head and smiled: "If you are really afraid, then come to my house."

creak.

Immediately after opening the door, several small snakes fell from the door beam. Zhao Shan was so frightened that he jumped three feet high and jumped directly onto Meng Yuan.

Bocha jumped over from outside the courtyard, stretched out his hand to pick it up and threw it out: "We have guests today, so don't come and mess around."

Meng Yuan patted Zhao Shan, and then he jumped down despite Manzhu's disdainful gaze, and touched his nose in embarrassment. If it was anything else, it would be fine, but he really didn't like snakes.
Bocha threw out all the snakes hiding in the corners of the house for them. The most terrifying thing was a two-foot-long snake coiled on the bed. Although they didn't bite, it would scare even a timid person to death. .

"Okay, I've warned them, they won't come in again tonight, you can rest assured," Bocha said.

"Really, really?" This half-day effort caused Zhao Shan to have a psychological shadow.

Meng Yuan smiled and said, "I'll help you."

"It's okay, I'm going to rest too. I'm going to Luojia Cave tomorrow." After saying that, Bocha went out and jumped back to his yard.

Meng Yuan said to the two of them: "You go and rest, I will watch."

"Holy Monk, I'd better stay with you."

The two sat quietly in the hut, and Manzhu fell asleep on the bed.

"Holy Monk, can we really enter the Dragon Palace?" Zhao Shan said worriedly.

"Everything depends on man-made things. Don't be depressed. The Dragon Palace is right there."

After all, Zhao Shan couldn't survive the night, so he fell asleep on the table in the middle of the night.

"hiss~"

A curved shadow suddenly poked out from the window. Meng Yuan reached out and caught the little snake, which was less than two feet tall.

Sure enough, the snake didn't bite anyone and stayed quietly in his hand.

"Strange life."

The night passed quickly, and as soon as it dawned, Bocha knocked on the door.

"Master Miaowu, Grandpa Tulu asked me to come to find you for breakfast. The coming-of-age ceremony will begin later."

Meng Yuan responded: "Okay, I'll come right away."

Immediately, they woke up Manzhu and went to have breakfast together. They followed the old patriarch and a group of people to the huge underground cave in the center, Luojia Cave.

The island has a small population, less than 22 people in total. There were [-] teenagers participating in the coming-of-age ceremony.

Meng Yuan stood next to Luojia Cave. The cold wind was blowing from below. Snake Pact.

Zhao Shan took one look and didn't dare to look again.

"Old Patriarch, it's extremely dangerous down here. I see there are many spiritual snakes outside. Why not make a contract with Luo Jia outside?"

Tulu shook his head and said: "The Luojia outside are all contracted by previous tribesmen, and they can no longer be contracted."

"I see."

The old patriarch then stepped forward and said to everyone: "Today is the time when the son of our clan has grown up. May God Luojia bless him!"

"May God Luojia bless you!"

The 22 young men, including Bocha, stood in front with high spirits, and immediately followed the old patriarch's order to climb down along the 22 iron ropes. This was also a test. Cowardly people cannot contract with Luojia.

But one of the figures was very fast, descending quickly without any fear of danger, it was Bo Cha.

Call ~
Suddenly, a strong wind blew out of the cave, and a young man's hand slipped down.

"what!"

Everyone closed their eyes and shook their heads. The old patriarch also sighed, but he did not come to the rescue.

But a figure in white appeared in mid-air and pulled the person back.
