If you don't give up, I'd like to be your adoptive father.

Chapter 190 The Second Bug: The Opportunity to Become a Godfather
Hearing Xiao Yu's request, the Dog Meat Taoist just grinned, not even showing much pride on his face, and asked calmly, "What's the matter? Did something strange happen to Zhai the blacksmith's family?"

Xiao Yu quickly told Zhai the blacksmith how the big dog had appeared in his dream last night, and how he had found the treasure from the Dragon Palace by his bed this morning.

"You have to go to the blacksmith Zhai's house right away. The other gold, silver and jewels are easy to find, but the jade jar is definitely something special."

Taoist Dog Meat shook his head and said, "What if I go? I don't want the gold, silver, jewels, and treasures of the Dragon Palace of the Zhai family.

If I go to his house, he will just kowtow to me, say a few words of thanks, and then take out gold, silver and jewelry for me to choose from. It would be better to go to the house of the rich man Qin, who I have already arranged to meet. He killed a fat dog last night, and I can eat the delicious meat directly if I go there now."

Xiao Yu said: "It is because you don't want it that you should go.

As the saying goes, help the Buddha to the west and help others to the end.

It also says "merit and virtue are complete".

Since you helped Da Gouzi to worship the Dragon King of the West Sea as his godfather, you naturally have to help deal with the follow-up matters. Only then can it be called perfect!

If you make a pot of half-cooked rice, you won't gain any merit, and you may even incur a lot of unnecessary sins."

Taoist Dog Meat said with a smile: "I see that you are not only not interested in the treasures of the Dragon Palace, but also a kind-hearted person. Why don't you come and 'perfect your merits'?"

Xiao Yu shook her head and said, "Of course I want the treasures from the Dragon Palace. If Brother Zhai sees that I like them and says polite words and pretends to give them to me, I probably won't be able to refuse.

But the jade jar was the last thought and filial piety that Da Gouzi left for Brother Zhai San, and no one else could take it.

Rather than torturing yourself in the entanglement, it is better to observe from a distance at the beginning, not get close, not get involved, and not be tempted. "

“Hahahaha,” Taoist Dog Meat laughed first, then shook his head and said, “If jade is not polished, it cannot be made into a useful tool. You can regard this as a kind of tempering!

When you see the treasure one day and completely lose all greed, you will be close to enlightenment."

Xiao Yu disagreed, "Without greed, I will only get further and further away from the great way, infinitely far away."

"Oh, what do you mean?" the dog-meat Taoist asked in surprise.

Xiao Yu said: "'Xian' is the greediest person in the world. Shopkeeper Hu of Xianghe Pawnshop, he just loves money, and everyone calls him greedy and hopeless.

But what the immortals desire is to escape from the cycle of reincarnation, to live forever, to enjoy eternal youth, to be free and at ease, and to enjoy all the blissful things in the world.

This is much more terrible than greed for money.

It is precisely because of the immortals' extreme greed that they can endure all kinds of hardships in the process of seeking immortality.

Just like Shopkeeper Hu's extreme greed for money, which enables him to endure the mockery of the world and the punishment of the underworld."

The Dog Meat Taoist thought for a moment and said, "What you said makes sense, but it is a bit one-sided.

First, to covet the path to immortality is not greed, just as a thief who steals a book is not stealing. "

Xiao Yu said coldly: "It is scholars who define the morality of the secular world. Of course scholars will not speak ill of themselves."

By the same token, it is the immortals and Buddhas who define the ways and principles of heaven and earth. Of course, they would not say that coveting the joy of becoming an immortal is "greed."

The dog-meat Taoist glanced at her and did not respond. After all, he was one of the people seeking immortality and he also had the desire to become an immortal.

He said to himself: "Secondly, becoming an immortal is just the beginning. After becoming an immortal, one must go through the process of beheading the three corpses, which is to eliminate people's 'evil desires'.

The Golden Immortal who has killed the three corpses and removed the "evil desires" is the real immortal, no longer a "human".

Xiao Yu was surprised and said, "Didn't you say that you only know how to ask the gods for help and divination? How come you can even talk about the Golden Immortal Secret so clearly?"

Taoist Dog Meat rolled his eyes at her again, "Even mortals know that practicing both sex and life, and the harmony of dragon and tiger, can form a golden elixir and become an immortal, but how many people can actually become an immortal?"

All college entrance examination candidates know that if they rank in the top 200 in the province, they may be admitted to Peking University or Tsinghua University. However, this is useless. The process of improving their scores to the top 200 in the province is the key and the most difficult.

Xiao Yu said, "Don't talk about these nonsense. Go and help Zhai the blacksmith deal with the subsequent troubles, and then help me prepare for the ceremony of worshipping Qiye."

The dog meat Taoist said: "You have no chance with the Dragon King."

"I can fight in the waves better than Big Dog." Xiaoyu said.

Taoist Dog Meat sighed, "If one could become the Dragon King's adopted son simply by being good at diving, then the Dragon Palace would have been filled with 'adopted princes' long ago."

"Why can Big Dog succeed?" Xiao Yu asked.

“I don’t know.” Seeing her face full of doubt, Taoist Dog Meat said helplessly: “When Zhai Lao San brought Big Dog to see me, I laughed at them.

I said, "You are out of your mind, what kind of god is the Dragon King? Would he agree to be his godfather just to protect your dog from drowning? If such a good thing really happens, take me with you. I can even worship the Dragon King as my ancestor."

If you don’t believe it, you can go ask Zhai Laosan yourself.

I still help Zhai Laosan to preside over the ceremony of worshipping the godfather because the things that people in Tianmen Town ask me to do are all similar brain-wounding things.

It can even be said that it is quite normal to worship the Dragon King as one's godfather and ask him to protect one's son from drowning while playing in the water."

He looked up at her and said, "Since you just mentioned Manager Hu, do you know why he came to me last year to ask for something?

After hearing the poor Taoist's verdict that 'if you don't give away your wealth to ward off disaster, disaster will surely come next year', he actually begged me to perform a ritual to burn some paper money for the judge of the underworld and the King of Hell, bribing them to forgive his sins.

It’s a good thing that I only meditate and chant scriptures, and don’t practice martial arts, otherwise I would have kicked him in the heart.”

Xiao Yu asked, "Then why did you swear so confidently the day before yesterday that Da Gouzi would not die, and that his father would definitely be grateful to you?"

"As long as it is a request that does not harm the heavens or the law, I will not only do it, but I will do it very seriously. Do you know why?"

Without waiting for Xiaoyu to answer, he continued, "Because 'the heaven and earth are spiritual, ghosts and gods are unpredictable'! What I think exists may not really exist; what I think will not exist may be what the gods and Buddhas think is natural. Therefore, I will take every ceremony of praying seriously.

What will be the final result? Look at the sky, and see the gods and Buddhas in the sky."

This is true for Zhai Laosan and Xiaoyu as well.

When Xiaoyu said "even God can't save me" and came to him for help, didn't he quietly light three "incense sticks"?

He was not sure that he could attract the attention of the gods in heaven, but he still did it seriously.

The final effect was very good, and Taibai Star Lord really responded to him.

Of course, the dog-meat Taoist didn’t know that in addition to Taibai Xingjun, the gods and the Emperor of Heaven in the Lingxiao Palace at that time all followed the smoke of the cigarette and cast their concerned glances towards him and Xiaoyu.

This can be considered as a characteristic of the side door of "asking the gods to help", or it can be said to be a fatal flaw: even if you practice diligently and do your best, whether you can succeed depends on whether the gods in heaven are willing to pay attention to you.

"Before Big Dog drowned, I didn't notice any sign of 'Dragon King recognizing his kinship'. It was not until Big Dog died that I heard the news and suddenly I caught a glimpse of inspiration. I felt that there was a turning point in Big Dog's case, but I didn't know where the turning point was.

After waiting for a few more days, Big Dog was about to be buried. Probably by then his soul had been reincarnated as a black-headed dragon in the Dragon Palace of the West Sea, and he had already left the Dragon Palace with his treasure, preparing to come back to visit Zhai Laosan.

At that time, the destiny had been determined and could not be changed, so there was no need to reveal the secret. I then vaguely realized that the Dragon King of the West Sea had accepted Da Gouzi as his adopted son. "

Taoist Dog Meat sighed and said with a wry smile: "I am not a good enough Taoist after all. I said that you must come to visit me the next day, but I didn't expect that the West Sea Dragon Palace is too far away from Tianmen Town. Even if I want to send the treasure through a dream, it will take several days and nights to walk.

It’s not easy for Big Dog to come back!”

Xiao Yu's eyes flashed, and he asked, "How did the big dog come back?"

"He came to me in a dream, how can he come back?" asked the Dog Meat Taoist priest curiously.

"He took the form of General Wu Long, first traveled by water, swam all the way to Xiaoliang River, and then appeared in his father's dream.

He still appeared in the form of a ghost, walked the ghost path to Tianmen Town, and appeared in the dream of Brother Zhai San.

Or, is he a black-headed dragon, who can control the clouds and rain and fly here on the clouds?
Or, like the talisman envoy, transform into divine light, follow the path of the gods, and reach Tianmen Town directly?"

Xiao Yu seemed to be thinking about something, and then said, "Well, if he traveled for several days, it is likely that he did not take the divine route of the talisman envoy."

According to her observations these days, among the many chaotic supervisory gods, the Talisman Envoy is the fastest, while the Gongcao God is the most mysterious and has the strongest ability.

The Day-Wandering God and the Night-Wandering God are the most secretive. Until now, she has not "seen" and confirmed the identities of the Day-Wandering God and the Night-Wandering God.

The underworld seems to be the worst
Taoist Dog Meat was overwhelmed by what he heard. “These confusing routes make me dizzy, but they are not important at all.

The big dog came back and gave the blacksmith Zhai a treasure, fulfilling his filial duty to the end, which is the key point!"

——Your focus is not important to me.

Xiaoyu felt a little regretful.

She should persevere. If she got nothing on the first night, she should still keep watch on the second night.

She believed that as long as she opened her "spiritual eyes" and kept an eye on the blacksmith Zhai's house, she would be able to find some clues.

"More than a month ago, you weren't sure whether Big Dog could become your godfather.

Now, a month later, you can't say that I have no chance to be with the Dragon King." Xiao Yu said.

Taoist Dog Meat asked, "Are you willing to be like Big Dog, drowned in the river first, and then be given the blood of a real dragon by the Dragon King, and be reincarnated as a black-headed dragon?"

"Well, do I have to drown myself because I am greedy for this worldly life? I just need to be your godfather and ask him to give me some benefits from time to time." Xiao Yu didn't want to die, and he couldn't die.

"It doesn't mean that if you worship the Dragon King as your godfather, your godchild will be drowned. Big Dog was destined to have this disaster, and this disaster just happened to fulfill his fate with the Dragon King.

Only with fate could the Dragon King be inspired and accept Big Dog as his adopted son.

If you are not destined to be drowned, it means that you and the Dragon King do not even have the most basic fate. "

After a pause, Taoist Dog Meat hesitated and said, "I suspect that Big Dog may have been a dragon's descendant or a former member of the Dragon Palace in his previous life."

In fact, what he wanted to say more was: I feel that Da Gouzi was the illegitimate son of the Dragon King of the West Sea who was left outside the Dragon Palace in his previous life. Now this disaster is just a way for him to return to the Dragon Palace smoothly without letting the Dragon Queen notice anything unusual.

But he would never say such words directly.

Unless one day he becomes like Xiaoyu before, overwhelmed by evil spirits and loses his mind.

The Dragon King is certainly not as good as the Emperor of Heaven, but in the human world, the Dragon King of the West Sea is definitely a huge "god".

Taoist Dog Meat looked at Xiao Yu and said, "I heard that you were born with wisdom and your soul is born naturally, so you don't have a previous life."

——If there is no previous life, there will naturally be no cause and effect and blessings left over from the previous life, so you’d better stop having wild thoughts.

Xiao Yu asked, "Can I only worship the Dragon King as my godfather? Can I worship other gods and saints?"

The Dragon King of the West Sea is a "super god" in the heart of the dog-meat Taoist priest.

In Xiaoyu's heart, he is "Little Karami" who can be bullied by "Little Bimawen" at will.

The dog meat Taoist priest was tangled and said: "It is the custom of the coastal countries to worship the Dragon King as their god, but you insist on worshipping other gods and gods. In theory, it is not impossible, but the effect is——"

Xiao Yu couldn't help laughing and said quickly: "If one doesn't work, I can pray to several more, or dozens or hundreds. As long as one of them succeeds, I will benefit endlessly in this life!"
