After entering the bottom of the lake, we passed through a large water barrier.
Compared with the colorful Hailong Palace, it looks more majestic. The Dragon Palace with the architectural style of Han and Tang Dynasties is completely presented in front of everyone.
In front of the Dragon Palace, he looked like a majestic middle-aged Dragon Lord, dressed as a scholar in a white robe, waiting at the door, looking around all the time, looking a little anxious.
Seeing Cao Zhe's boat settling down, he immediately took three steps at a time to meet it. His originally tense face was filled with smiles.
"The Master is here, the little dragon is shining brightly!" Lord Long said loudly.
Master is the name given to Cao Zhe by many people who follow the path of Haoran.
For many scholars, Cao Zhe is not a Taoist priest, but a person who preaches and practices, opens eternal ways for people to live, and inherits the unique knowledge of the past saints.
No matter who he is, everyone calls him 'Master'.
At this time, Long Jun called Cao Zhe 'Master', which seemed to indicate that he was also a member of Haoran's way.
Cao Zhe sensed it a little, and indeed noticed traces of the aura of awe in this Dragon Lord.
Since Haoran's way is the right way, it must not be practiced by one clan or one family, otherwise it will inevitably be biased.
Anyone who is on the right path and adheres to morality can be recognized by Haoran Qi.
It's just that compared to the human race, it is more difficult for the alien race to follow the path of Haoran, and it tests the true heart more, and the considerations in terms of three outlooks, morality, and right and wrong are more stringent.
"As a Dragon Lord, you are very good at being able to understand a hint of awe-inspiring meaning." Cao Zhe said with a smile.
Then he stepped off the boat and formally accepted Long Jun's invitation.
If he doesn't like this Dragon Lord, he can turn around and leave even if he has already arrived in front of the Dragon Palace.
When Long Jun received a compliment from Cao Zhe, he really burst into laughter.
He handed over his hand repeatedly and then led the way.
Walking through the underwater garden all the way, we saw the ruins that were submerged under the water during the ancient Yunmeng period, and finally arrived at a bright hall.
The skylight refracted down and shone on the palace.
It actually made the palace seem to be on fire.
The Fire Palace at the bottom of the lake shook out a dazzling halo, and thousands of rays of rays of light rippled in the soft waves.
Such a wonderful scene, it is extremely difficult to imagine how beautiful it is unless you are in it.
Immortal music has been heard from the palace.
What also came out was the roaring sound.
When Long Jun led Cao Zhe and his party into the palace.
The originally noisy voice became quiet after a while.
The God of the Lake, who had seen and dealt with Cao Zhe, immediately stood up and bowed his head to the bottom.
"Student Zhao De'an, I have met the Master!" A fellow lake god dressed as a Vincentian shouted excitedly.
This lake god was not born of the water tribe, but a Jinshi during the Qiande period. Just because he rescued a child who fell into the water, he was pulled by a water ghost, became his substitute, and died in the lake.
Over the years, he has learned the secret many times that he can find a substitute and then reincarnate, but he has never done this. Instead, he has repeatedly saved people.
Finally, after meeting Cao Zhe, his merits were fulfilled and he was introduced to the Gate of Haoran. Later, he received the imperial title and officially became the God of Lake.
Zhao De'an revealed Cao Zhe's identity with one word.
Later, the four water gods, mountain gods, wandering gods, and mountain cultivators who were originally unable to confirm Cao Zhe's identity were completely convinced.
Immediately afterwards, the hall became particularly lively.
Everyone knows that Cao Zhe will not only dominate the heavens in the future. It is even more certain that he who is still walking in the world is already the boss among the bosses.
Regardless of anything else, just the fact that Cao Zhe created Haoran's way and spread it throughout the world has accumulated immeasurable merit for him.
If Cao Zhe was willing, he could rely on his merits to rise to the top.
Now that we have the opportunity to make friends with such a big boss, who would be willing to fall behind?
Regardless of whether he is a disciple of Haoran or not, it is always good to have a good relationship.
Long Jun also smiled and didn't mind at all that he, the master of the Dragon Palace, was being ignored.
Instead, he greeted the maids of the Dragon Palace, removed the messy wine and dishes, and replaced them with fresh food and drinks.
Surrounded by the gods, Cao Zhe refused to give up the throne to Lord Long and chose a seat at random to sit down.
In the conversation with the gods, he joked freely and did not stick to any form or identity.
The highest state of Haoran's way is not to exceed the rules, which means 'follow one's heart's desires without exceeding the rules'.
Even if you let your mind be free and free, it will not violate the rules, etiquette, and morality.
Cao Zhe now has a bit of this style.
But it's above that.
He will live by etiquette, rules and morals.
Wherever he stands, that is the benchmark.
Others are just living their lives according to his example.
After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.
Long Jun finally brought the topic down to business.
Said: "Little Dragon has an only daughter. He only has this daughter after waiting for thousands of years. The Dragon Queen and Dragon Son in the palace all regard her as the apple of their eyes and cannot bear to be harsh on her."
"Ten years ago, when she went out to play in the palace, she was accidentally caught by a fisherman. This was her fate."
"Fortunately, with the blessing of fate, the little girl got help from a young man and escaped. So before leaving, she made a promise that ten years later, she would turn into a mortal woman and marry this young man."
"Seeing that the wedding was approaching, unexpectedly something happened."
As he spoke, Long Jun shook his head, looking particularly melancholy and helpless.
"Is it possible that the dragon girl encountered someone who betrayed her heart?"
"Let a certain family hook his soul and ask him if he has a conscience." A wandering god said.
This kind of wandering god does not have a fixed temple residence, but he has been granted the title of a god.
Its mission is to travel around, punish lawbreakers, do justice on behalf of heaven, and arrest evil spirits.
It's a bit like the imperial police, except that there is no fixed place for handling cases and it is extremely mobile.
Long Jun said hurriedly: "Brother Zhong Bo, don't be anxious! This matter has nothing to do with that Zhang Sheng."
"I have also observed this student, and it is true that he has excellent talent and appearance. He is filial to his parents at home, respectful to his brothers, and caring for his sisters. He is also kind and compassionate to friends and strangers outside. He is really rare. have to."
"Just because he was too lenient, he rescued a young girl not long ago. Unexpectedly, this young girl turned out to be the daughter of Lord Bingling."
"The girl fell in love with him and made a promise to him for three lifetimes. Although Zhang Sheng repeatedly stated that there was a marriage contract, the girl didn't care."
"Not long ago, Lord Bingling sent someone to discuss with me. His words were sincere, but he hoped that my daughter would take the initiative to break off the engagement..."
Although Long Jun's words were mostly helpless, there didn't seem to be any anger.
But the listener can hear the underlying indignation.
Duke Bingling is the third son of the Dongyue Emperor. Although the Dongting Dragon Lord can be regarded as a figure among the water gods, he is far from the Yunmeng Lord in ancient times. How can he withstand the pressure of the Dongyue Emperor?
When Cao Zhe heard this, he completely understood.
"I see, why did Lord Long invite me?"
"But it turned out that he wanted to ask me to be the matchmaker! This solved the impasse."
