Chapter 48 Relationship Between Gods
Although the Dragon King of Zhuhe is just a small river dragon king, he is much richer than Jishe. At dusk after the rain, he often comes to Jishe's house to drink and brings his own fine wine and delicacies. Jishe is embarrassed after many times.
Although Ji She guarded Mount Lu, the mountain belonged to the Emperor Zhou after all, and the production in the mountain belonged to the king. He was a mountain man, even if he had the position of the mountain god, it was not easy to be divided between public and private. He could not use the monarch's property to entertain his guests. Ji She could not do such a thing.
Although the Dragon King doesn't care or be stingy, Ji She himself can't accept it.
Yunyao thought it was a good thing for the Dragon King to be willing to have dinner with the teacher. She hoped to learn more about the matters in the Heavenly Court through the Dragon King, so she handed over all the gifts from Zhang to the teacher: "Teacher, I don't need these things. Please take them as a gift to the Dragon King Zhuhe. He is so polite, we can't lose our courtesy." But he thought so in his heart. Although the teacher has the Emperor Dongyue as his backer, Emperor Dongyue is too high after all, and it is impossible for him to always bother with trivial matters. However, the Dragon King is the neighbor next door, and distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. It is definitely right to establish a good relationship.
"These are the thanks to Ms. Zhang thank you for your life-saving grace. How can I take it?" Ji She couldn't understand that Yunyao hoped that the teacher would lay a solid foundation with the Dragon King, and that everyone would become more and more close.
"Teacher, that's what I think. Although you and your master's wife have a throne, they still don't know what the rules of the Heavenly Court are. It's better to have a good relationship with the Dragon King first, understand more about the rules of the Heavenly Court, and make plans for the future." Yun Yao began to explain his plan: "It's not a big deal for many gifts. The Dragon King often invites the teacher to drink, and it's also a good gift. I'm your disciple, and I'm filial to you. Teacher, you have a good relationship with the Dragon King. If there are any policy changes or collective activities in the Heavenly Court, you, as a mountain god, cannot be ignorant and always absent, right? In fact, the principle of giving gifts is the same as when we borrow money to cultivate, and we will invest first and then make a profit."
When Ji She heard that his disciples were analyzing inter-sexual relationships so well, he had to admit that it made sense, but he thought of a question: "Haha, if someone gives me a gift in the future, I must first consider whether the other party is going to get anything from me."
Yun Yao immediately said, "Teacher, I'm not giving gifts, I'm filial piety. Besides, the teacher taught me ejaculation skills, I have benefited a lot." He immediately expressed that he had no bad intentions.
Ji She laughed rare: "I'm not talking about you, I'm talking about other people. After I become a mountain god, I'm afraid someone will give me gifts." He learned from one example and it's no wonder he could learn to ejaculate. He was really very smart. Such wisdom would definitely have a place in the fiercely competitive society even in the era before Yunyao traveled through time.
"That's what you said makes sense. Since I have the position of the mountain god, I shouldn't ignore the matters in the Heavenly Court. I just don't know if the Dragon King needs human products." Jishe said: "I heard that there are too many jewelry in the Dragon Palace, and too many treasures that our human race does not have, so I'm afraid that he will look down on our silk and bronze ware."
"It's one thing to like it or not, it's another thing to give it or not." Yunyao felt that there was no need to worry about it at all, so it was all over.
In fact, the Dragon King of Zhuhe is not very rich. Although he does not lack fine wine and food, it is all that. He has come to Zhuhe and there are not so many treasures. There are really treasures in the Dragon Palace of Four Seas, and it is not the Dragon King of Zhuhe.
So when Ji She took out the silk and bronze incense burner as a gift, the Dragon King of Zhuhe could not put it down, but after all, he was a god and could not behave too badly. At the same time, the Dragon King of Zhuhe also felt strange. He came to Ji She to drink with him once or twice. He knew very well that Ji She had no wealth, so how could he take out such exquisite utensils? "Ji Shan God, these are all good things. I wonder where you got them?"
Ji She told the Dragon King that this was the case: "That girl Zhang was also grateful for her kindness. In order to repay Zhu's life-saving grace, she gave her many rare things. Zhu was also a disciple who respected his teachers and Taoism, so she handed over most of the vessels to me. I am grateful to Brother Dragon King who invited me to drink many times, but I have nothing to repay her. I can only do a favor. If I don't dislike her, just take it."
"The mountain god has taken over a good disciple. The name of Zhu Nv is also quite famous on both sides of the Zhu River. The song "Zhu Nv Ke Mu Yu Long" is really awesome. A few days ago, she shot across the river and hit the three leaves in a row. The archery technique is deeply rooted in the true teachings of the mountain god. Now seeing her respect for her teachers and Taoism, the human race is indeed inherited by her greatness. Since the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, many outstanding people have emerged. This Zhu Nv also has a great appearance, and will surely shock the earth in the future." The Dragon King praised Zhu Nv, which indirectly praised Ji She, because his disciples are powerful and honored.
Ji She was indeed very happy, and it was the first time he knew that the Dragon King knew so much about his disciples: "Brother Dragon King, I didn't expect you to know so much about Zhu Nu. Even she knew about her archery shooting from the other side of the river a few days ago."
"I manage Zhuhe, but not only manage the river water. The 100,000 scale tribes in the water are also under my control. These scale tribes usually wander in the river water, and they always come to inform me about any new things, so I have a good understanding of the customs and strange things on both sides of the Taiwan Strait." The Dragon King said happily. He could talk to fish, and these fish were his eyes and ears.
Ji Shelian said to be admired: "Brother Dragon King is the true river god, unlike me, there is no magic."
"You are too modest. It's already great that you can send a random cultivator like Huang Xiaohu. Unlike my huge Zhu He, I don't have a good helper. I have to worry about all the big and small things myself. Only when I find you to drink can I have a moment of leisure." The Dragon King said: "In fact, a little god like us cannot really have much ability. I will protect the peace of the country. When will the Heavenly Court give us some spiritual elixir fruits, it will be enough for me to be grateful."
"Will the Heavenly Court give us something?" Ji She heard it for the first time.
"Of course, but there are few opportunities. I guess this opportunity will only be the time when the Jade Emperor and Queen Mother hold a banquet, once every few hundred years." "So that's it. I thought we only had human incense, but I didn't expect that the Heavenly Court would also think of us."
The Dragon King smiled: "We usually rely on human incense only, but unfortunately, humans can only worship great gods. We little gods probably only remember us. We are not afraid of you to joke. I came to Zhuhe for a few months, and only boatmen and fishmen have sacrificed me. Moreover, the scale of the sacrifice is not large. If I hadn't had some wealth, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to drink with you here." As he said that, he picked up the bronze incense burner and looked at it, and he loved it very much: "I really envy you for having a good disciple."
"Brother Dragon King, if you like it, just take it. Anyway, I am just a rough man and can't use these things. I just think it's my thanks for drinking so much wine."
The Dragon King was not polite either: "Then I will accept it with a smile. If there is anything good in the Heavenly Court in the future, I will definitely inform you, so as not to miss the benefits if you are not well informed."
Ji She picked up the pottery bowl and said readily: "I won't say it anymore, everything is in this wine."
"It's time to drink."
