[Journey to the West] Wukong purchasing

"Father, shall we go back to the West Sea Dragon Palace to celebrate the New Year this year?" Ao Xuan poked the smoked fish in the bowl with her chopsticks. This sea fish was specially sent by a caravan from Yazhou by her friend Tang Ying. It can be said that the city is worth a thousand gold. The marinated fish has a light salty taste and the taste of spices. After being smoked, it is very chewy. Ao Xuan eats it almost every meal. Bacon seems to have lost its appeal.

She really didn't want to go back to her hometown, Xihai Dragon Palace, to celebrate the New Year.

Just like most of the children who grew up in the city in later generations, it does not mean that children dislike the countryside. The living habits are only a small part of it, and most of them are troubles from relatives.

Especially in the West Sea Dragon Palace, the father, Ao Lie, was not loved by the old Dragon King and Queen. Later, despite the objections of his family, he insisted on marrying the snake spirit, Ao Qing. Xuan didn't know, she only remembered that when she was very young, her father took her back to the West Sea Dragon Palace. The family of three lived in the most remote palace. The queen mother went to visit her grandmother, and when she came back, she hid in the room and cried for a long time.

Since then, Ao Xuan has never wanted to go to the West Sea Dragon Palace anymore, even if it is a fairy-like place in the eyes of the world, she only knows that after her father and mother take her back every year, and then return to her home, there will always be a period of mood will be bad.

However, she also knew in her heart that her father would not agree.

As long as the old dragon king and queen are still alive, as juniors, even if they are busy with official duties, they always have to go back to their hometown to visit their relatives once a year, otherwise it is unfilial. The god position is no longer a noble dragon.

In fact, Ao Xuan didn't care about her status at all, she just didn't want her father and mother to be wronged again for her sake.It's also very good not to be a dragon girl in the Dragon Palace, just like her best friend Tang Ying, who has a very happy life even though she is a mortal.

Moreover, Tang Ying's grandfather and grandmother treated her like jewels and treasures, not at all like her grandparents. They looked at her as if they were looking at an old piece of furniture.

However, what Ao Xuan did not expect was——

"Okay! Let's not go back to the West Sea Dragon Palace this year, let's go to Yazhou to celebrate the New Year!" Ao Lie pitifully picked up Ao Xuan and put it on his lap, and asked people to remove the smoked fish that had been poked into pieces by her, and put on a new one. Bowl of hot shrimp paste.

This is what the cook at home specially learned from Wu’s Food Shop. After washing the fresh dried shrimps, they are first fried with marinated chicken oil, then add the onion, ginger and garlic and sauté until fragrant. The old hen soup that has been boiled overnight, skim off the froth, beat two eggs and smash them down, quickly stir them into fine egg drops with a spoon, finally add oil and salt, sprinkle some pepper, thicken with sweet potato powder, Sprinkle some chopped green onion and it will be out of the pan.

Nutritious and easy to digest, very suitable for children to eat.

"Really? We don't have to go to the West Sea Dragon Palace to celebrate the New Year this year?" Ao Xuan's eyes widened in surprise

Ao Xuan used "go" instead of "back". The difference of one word is enough to prove that in this child's heart, she has never regarded the gorgeous Dragon Palace as her home.

"When did the father lie to you?" Ao Lie reached out his hand to scoop up a spoonful of dried shrimp paste and fed it to his daughter, wiped the corners of her mouth carefully, and then leaned into her ear and whispered, "Your mother will give you a baby!" You have given birth to a younger brother, and your father has sent a letter back, saying that your mother is pregnant and should not enter the sea."

"What about next year?" The little girl knew that her father loved her so much, she immediately grabbed Ao Lie's arm and asked.

"Next year..." Ao Lie deliberately frowned and thought for a while, until his daughter's delicate eyebrows were frowned, and then he laughed and mentioned his daughter, and kissed Ao Xuan hard on the forehead, "Next year your brother is still in his infancy. , Naturally, it is not suitable for traveling and traveling, we will not have to go back to the West Sea Dragon Palace for the New Year for three years."

The childish father and daughter seemed to have won the lottery, hugging each other and laughing loudly.

"It would be great if mother gave birth to more younger brothers and sisters." After laughing for a while, Ao Xuan prepared for a rainy day like a little adult. She would not have to go to the West Sea Dragon Palace for three years if she was pregnant with one child. If the mother gave birth to ten younger brothers and sisters in one go , wouldn't it be 30 years since you don't have to go to the West Sea Dragon Palace to celebrate the New Year?

"Hahaha~ Don't let your mother hear this." Although it is not easy for the dragon people to conceive, Ao Lie loves his wife and doesn't want her to suffer more from pregnancy and childbirth.

"If you don't go back to celebrate the new year, your father and queen mother will say that you are not filial." Although he is very happy that he does not have to go to the West Sea Dragon Palace to celebrate the new year, Ao Qing is also worried that her husband will be wronged again.

Ao Qing had no parents or relatives since she was born, and her understanding of the word "family affection" came mostly from the Wu family and Tang family she was familiar with.It's just that she was mentally prepared that Dragon Palace would not easily accept her, but she didn't expect that she would encounter such a terrible situation when she accompanied Ao Lie to her in-law's house for the first time after marriage.

Her father-in-law looks down on her bloodline of the snake clan, and her mother-in-law looks down on her even more because she doesn't understand the etiquette of the dragon clan. The uncle, Prince Aomoang, treats them well, but the sister-in-law doesn't look down on her, who doesn't even have a dowry Shabby looking.

However, no matter how embarrassing it was, for the sake of the child in her womb, Ao Qing could only grit her teeth and endure it.If they are not recognized by the old dragon king, their children will not be recognized by the dragons of the four seas. A dragon girl whose blood is not recognized, even if she has half of the dragon blood, is not a dragon.

Scorpion Jing and Princess Iron Fan both persuaded her not to go to the West Sea Dragon Palace to suffer such grievances, but Ao Qing did not dare to slack off even if her daughter was not approved by the old Dragon King for a day.

Now, Ao Lie actually said that he would not go to the Dragon Palace to celebrate the New Year with his in-laws this year, which made Ao Qing very nervous.

She is no longer the fearless snake spirit of Snake Panshan Yingchoujian in the past. When she has the love and thoughts in her heart, she is afraid. She is not afraid of being wronged in the Dragon Palace. What she is afraid of is her daughter because Due to her own recklessness, she lost the dignity that a dragon girl should have.

Her daughter, who was supposed to be a dragon girl with pure blood in the West Sea Dragon Palace, why was she ridiculed by those shrimp soldiers and crab generals as "the daughter of the river god"?

"Don't worry, your husband and I are no longer the criminals who let others squeeze and round us." This is the real confidence that Ao Lie dared to bring his wife and children to fight against the authority of the old Dragon King.

Speaking of it, he was able to have this confidence, thanks to Tang Xuanzang and Wu Kong and his wife.

Back then, in order to avoid the marriage bestowed by his father, he let Qing'er become his wife in a legitimate name, and was enshrined by the Li Tang royal family under the pseudonym "Little Dragon King". Being able to skip the canonization of the Four Seas Dragon Palace has really been recognized by the Dao of Heaven, and has become the Dragon King with the great merit of making wind and rain!

Last year, there was a severe drought in Guanzhong. Ao Lie couldn't bear to see the people suffering from drought, hunger and thirst. He spared his face and asked Hanba to drink a large amount of wine. He vomited for several days after drinking, and finally sent this great god away. Tens of thousands of people rained down rain, heaven sent down great merit, and Li Chengqian personally offered sacrifices on behalf of His Majesty Li Er, Ao Lie finally cultivated a golden body and became the dragon king recognized by heaven!

It's just that, because he was promoted by leaps and bounds, he didn't pass the orthodox cadre promotion procedure of the Dragon Clan. In this way, he completely offended the Dragon Palace of the World.

But what if you were offended?

He is now the Dragon King himself, and his eldest daughter does not need to be recognized by the West Sea Dragon Palace to be a noble dragon girl. His wife is also the Dragon Mother who is worshiped by the Li Tang royal family and the people of the world together with him. What else is there to be afraid of?

After explaining the reasoning to his wife in detail, Ao Qing's complexion was not as ugly as before, but he just kept an eye on it, and ordered some New Year's gifts in the mansion, and asked Ao Lie to send someone to give it to him. Back to the West Sea Dragon Palace: "If you don't go back, you can't miss the New Year's rituals. Our family doesn't lack these flowers now. You don't have to let those people look down on you."

Although she hated her in-laws very much, Ao Qing still didn't want to make Ao Lie lose face in front of her family, and she didn't want him to get a bad name for being unfilial because of their mother and daughter.

"Give more silk and satin, melon and fruit scented tea, gold, silver and jewelry to the believers, and the left and right Dragon Palaces don't lack those." Seeing that Ao Qing was going to give New Year gifts to the Dragon Palace, Ao Lie couldn't help telling her road.

Ao Qing: "..." It seems that it is not unreasonable for the old Dragon King to dislike her husband. This guy is so picky that he even skimped on his father's New Year's ceremony.

However, thinking of the magnificent and blinding Dragon Palace in the West Sea, Ao Qing paused, and asked people to remove all the gold, silver and jewels that had just been put in, and replaced them with the ones sent by the Wu family from Yazhou and Jiangnan Road. Silks and satins, teas of various colors of melons and fruits, spices tribute from the Western Regions, and some worthless things were also thrown in, and a large pile of what was left and what was left was sent over.

Anyway, it's fine if you want it, your husband is right, even if they give a golden mountain, I'm afraid they won't get a single word of kindness, so why should she empty out her family to please those who don't care about her at all?

The so-called kinship, there must be kinship before there can be karma, if there is no closeness from the heart, how can we talk about half kinship?

The New Year gift sent by Ao Lie caused an uproar in the West Sea Dragon Palace as expected.

Ao Run, the Dragon King of the West Sea, never imagined that the youngest son whom he had always looked down upon would dare to openly challenge the authority of his own father!

"It's unreasonable! It's unreasonable! This villain is really rebellious! The daughter-in-law is so delicate when she is pregnant? He shouldn't have been allowed to marry such a low-blooded snake spirit back then! Thinking about the dragon girl of our dragon clan, she was pregnant. Going to the battlefield to kill the enemy as usual, have you ever heard of any fetal gas?" The old dragon king was furious, and threw the gift list presented by his son on the spot.

He wanted to throw presents directly, but it's a pity that his youngest son has learned so much cunning from those mortals in the mortal world, and ordered someone to send the New Year's gift directly to the warehouse, and only a thick gift list was sent to him... ...Throwing it is not easy to throw it away. If he just tore it up, it will look even more childish at his age.

Really mad at the dragon!

What made him even more angry was yet to come——

"Father, calm down! The younger siblings are weaker than the dragon daughters of our dragon tribe, and they are pregnant with dragon fetuses. The second younger brother has only one daughter under his knees. I am afraid that the younger siblings are pregnant with a dragon son this time. You should be more cautious." Yes." Prince Ao Moang stepped forward to persuade, "Besides, the second younger brother is deeply loved by all people in the world, and he is also the Dragon King enshrined by the Li Tang royal family. Heart?"

"What do all the people in the world have to do with this king?" The dragon clan originated in the prehistoric times, and they have always looked down on the human race who came from behind. If it wasn't for the incense and worship of the human race, who cares about the life and death of those human races?

"Father, be careful!" Prince Aomoang turned pale with shock, sternly reprimanded the left and right, kneeled to the feet of the old Dragon King, and kowtowed heavily, "Father, do you remember the past events of the ancient Dragon and Han's robbery? Now that one has made it clear that he prefers the human race , the second younger brother is deeply loved by the human race. If the boy said something beyond, I am afraid that the second younger brother's prestige in the mortal world is already far above the Dragon King of the Four Seas. The second younger brother has always been filial. Is the relationship between father and son as weak as it is today?"

"You, why do you..." The old dragon king never expected that even the eldest son who listened to him the most dared to challenge his authority. Now he was really going to vomit blood from anger.

"Father, calm down! Everything my child said is for my West Sea Dragon Palace clan, not to excuse my second brother. Father, please think about it carefully, have your second brother and younger siblings done anything to insult my dragon clan's reputation in the mortal world over the years?" Have you ever really disobeyed you and your mother? Have you ever neglected the etiquette of father and son? Now he is enshrined by the royal family in the world, but he still serves you and your mother as before. Isn’t it his filial piety? Prejudice, will the father be willing to push the second brother to the human race at that time?" Ao Moang said this a bit harshly, but he knew that if he didn't give another dose of heavy medicine, his second brother would be afraid. , can no longer be united with the Dragon Clan.

Although it's a bit unfilial to say so, Ao Moang really wants to say that the king father and queen mother were wrong about this matter.The father scolded his second brother and younger siblings for being unfilial all day long, but he never thought that only a loving father can make a son filial.If the father is not loving, why should the son be foolish and filial?

"You... that's all! You go down now!" For some reason, the old Dragon King's face paled instantly, and he sat slumped on the golden throne inlaid with precious stones.

Ao Moang looked at his old father, couldn't bear it, and wanted to stay for a few words of comfort, but when he thought of the Sihai Dragon Palace that was going downhill, he had to retreat cruelly, if he couldn't force his father to treat his second brother this time To change his attitude, he can only ask his father to abdicate in advance. As long as he replaces his father as the new West Sea Dragon King, the Dragon Clan and his second brother can restore the old relationship.

Father Wang is really confused!The Four Seas Dragon Palace is the most important bloodline, but in the end?The marriage between the Dragon Clan and the Dragon Clan not only failed to strengthen the Dragon Clan, but on the contrary, the number of newly born dragon sons and daughters was decreasing year by year.Look at the second brother again, because he is close to the human race and is enshrined by the human race, the younger brother and his daughter-in-law have held each other for three years. Isn't this enough to explain the problem?

Ao Moang didn't know that when he was worrying about the reproduction of the dragon clan, the second brother he cared about had heartlessly brought his sister-in-law and niece to the warm and spring-like Yazhou, drinking sweet Coconut milk, grilled fat oysters, one bite at a time, is a joy to eat.

After eating and drinking enough, I heard Tang Ying complaining to her friend Ao Xuan that the slide at home could not be moved to the beach. Ao Lie rolled his eyes and immediately turned into a giant white dragon on the beach. In the shape of a slide, a huge dragon head slowly bent down, eyes as big as a daughter's head, looking gently at the two children holding hands: "Beautiful little ladies, want to try the dragon on my back!" Is it the slide?"

Tang Ying and Ao Xuan looked up their heads stupidly for a while, and suddenly jumped up and cheered. The two little ladies picked up the corners of their skirts with no elegance at all, tucked them into their belts and tied them in a knot, and grabbed them. The dragon beard, two chubby legs kicked on the dragon's chin, clasped the dragon's horns with both hands and climbed onto the dragon's head, whistling down the soft and cold real dragon slide, the chubby buttocks smashed a small hole in the sand.

Tang Xuanzang watched this scene speechlessly, not knowing what to say anymore.

It seems that he was right to choose to give up learning scriptures, otherwise, if he followed him, in the end Ao Lie might still become the Buddhist Nanwu Babu Tianlong Guangli Bodhisattva like in his previous life. On the pillar of Qingtianhua in Daleiyin Temple, it serves as a glory and decoration of Buddhism.

After all, being able to make the Dragon Clan, the former overlord of the wilderness, also submit to the Tathagata's sect, it does have face to say it.

Nobody cares what the dragon thinks.Lonely and lonely hovering on the icy pillar of Optimus, just like the self in the previous life, wandering around in the mortal world, wandering and rootless.

Fortunately, in this life, he and Ao Lie will never have to go through such a cruel life again.

Three years later, Ao Qing gave birth to a dragon son, and the Dragon Palaces all over the world sent congratulatory gifts. Ao Lie's elder brother, Prince Ao Moang, asked the Jade Emperor to change Ao Lie as the prince of the West Sea Dragon Palace on the grounds that he had no children for many years. I readily agree.Ao Lie refused to accept his resignation, and still lived with Ao Qing in the mortal world.

For another three years, there was a month of torrential rains in Jiangnan Road, and the river broke its embankment. Ao Lie and Aoqing were seriously injured to prevent the flood.
