Chapter 504: Fengxian County Wukong prays for rain

Sanzang and his party left the woodcutter, went down the Silver Mist Mountain, and headed for the main road.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, I finally saw a city.

Sanzang said: "Since it is a city, I think we have already reached the border of Tianzhu. Let's hurry up and stop there before dark."

Hearing this, Bajie unknowingly quickened his steps and said, "I tell you, we should have had a rest long ago. My old pig is starving."

Wukong went up and slapped him: "You idiot, I'm trying to get you out of the way. Don't complain here. I'll definitely feed you when we get to the city."

Not long after, the master and apprentice arrived outside the city.Sanzang dismounted and walked into the third door.

This city is unlike anything seen before. The people are extremely desolate and the streets are deserted.The four of them were walking along the street. Pedestrians were not like before and didn't know how to avoid them.When he was patrolling the city, he said nothing when he saw him, and had no intention of receiving him at all.

In the end, Bajie showed his true face and roared twice before those people knew how to get out of the way.

Just then Sanzang came forward to ask where this place was, and an official said: "This is a foreign county in Tianzhu, and its place name is Fengxian County. There have been years of drought, and the prince of the county sent us to come out here to recruit the magician to pray for rain to save the people."

Upon hearing this, Wukong realized that this was a professional counterpart, and quickly asked where the list was.The official said that the notice was here, but they were just cleaning the eaves and had not posted it yet.Then, the officials unfolded the list and hung it under the eaves.

Four people came forward to check, and saw a written message on the door: "The magistrate of Fengxian County in the Great Tianzhu Kingdom has hired a master and asked for a great priest: This is because the county has a broad territory, a strong military and civilians, and years of drought and hard work. In the desert, the fields of the people are poor and the land of the army is thin, the rivers are shallow and the ditches are empty. There is no water in the wells, and there is no water in the bottom of the springs. The rich can barely survive, but the poor people can hardly survive. The price of a bushel of millet is a hundred gold, and the salary is only five taels. [-] A one-year-old girl is worth three liters of rice, and a five-year-old boy takes it with others. In the city, he is afraid of the law and pawns his clothes to protect himself; in the countryside, he bullies the public, robs and eats people and cares about life. For this reason, he writes a list, looks up to the sages from all over the world, and prays for rain. To save the people, the kindness should be repaid. I am willing to express my gratitude with a thousand pieces of gold, and I will never lie. Those who must be on the list."

Now they understood why the pedestrians on the road didn't know how to avoid them. They probably had no energy to care about anything else and were just walking zombies.

Sanzang looked at the article on the list and looked around again. He knew that this matter could be big or small, depending on the mood of the person above him, so he told Wukong: "Disciple, Master knows that you are very powerful and can stir up rivers and seas." , change buckets and move stars, kick the sky and make wells, spit out mist and clouds, carry mountains to chase the moon, call for rain and call for wind. Now this matter of praying for rain is easy for you. I still want to tell you, there is nothing trivial on the way westward. "

He also said: "My teacher knows that your heart is upright and you like to show off your skills. Now this place is in urgent need of rain. If you find a way to save the people here, it will be a great merit."

Wukong immediately agreed and said to the official: "Go and tell your master, and my grandson can pray for rain."

The official quickly sent someone back to the county to report.

Not long after, the prince walked to the entrance of the market and greeted him with courtesy.After the prince saw Tripitaka, he was not afraid of the ugly appearance of his disciples. He bowed down in the street and said, "Xiaguan is the surname of Shangguan, the prince of Fengxian County. Xunmu bows to the teacher and asks him to pray for rain to save the people. I hope the master is compassionate and uses his magical power." , Baji Baji!”

The etiquette is quite good.

Sanzang responded and said that this was not the place to talk, and he hoped to find a temple and pray for rain.The prince said that he could follow him to the mansion to talk about it.The four of them then led their horses and carried their burdens to the mansion.

When you come, you must eat first. Bajie devours them like a hungry tiger, which makes those holding the plates tremble with fear, fearing that Bajie will swallow them as food.

After fasting, Sanzang began to inquire about the news and asked the prince how long the drought had been here.The prince cried for a while and said: "Our country is a big country in Tianzhu, and I am the pastor of Fengxian County. For three consecutive years, there has been a drought, and the grass has not grown and the crops have been harvested. It is difficult for people, big and small, to buy and sell, and all the ten families are crying. Three times, they have starved to death. Two people stop, and one stop is like a candle in the wind. I went out to search for virtuous people, and I was lucky enough to meet a true monk who came to our country. If you give an inch of rain to help the people, I am willing to reward you with a thousand gold coins for your kindness!"

Wukong was happy, Sha Monk was frightened.

Wukong smiled and said: "If you say a thousand pieces of gold as a thank you, there will be no sweet rain at all. But in terms of accumulated merits, I will give you a heavy rain."

The prince hurriedly asked Wukong to sit on the throne, lowered his head and knelt down, and asked Wukong to cast a spell to pray for rain.

No more nonsense, Wukong immediately asked the prince to take care of Tripitaka, and arranged for Bajie and Sha Seng to protect him. He wanted to cast a spell to summon the Dragon King.

Wukong recited mantras and chanted mantras, and soon saw dark clouds rising from the east, and then falling in front of the hall. The person who came was none other than Ao Guang, the Dragon King of the East China Sea. Ao Guang collected the cloud feet, transformed into a human form, and saluted Wukong.Wukong came up and asked why Fengxian County didn't come here to rain if there was a drought in the coming year.

The Dragon King is also an old man, and he quickly shirks his responsibility. He cannot afford to carry such a big pot. He hurriedly said that he is just a brick mover. As for where to move bricks and how many bricks to move, it is not his decision and must be approved by his superiors. just work.

Wukong knew that what the Dragon King said was true, and it made sense. Previously, the Jinghe Dragon King had his head chopped off due to rain, so the Dragon King didn't dare to lie.So the Dragon King left, came to Sanzang, and relayed what the Dragon King had just said, and then said that he wanted to go to the Heavenly Palace, otherwise the rain would not fall at all.

After Wukong left, Sha Monk said angrily to Sanzang: "Master, there must be something else that provoked the man above. Otherwise, there would not have been a three-year drought in this place, and all life was devastated."

Sanzang looked at the sky and said: "What you said is basically correct, but I don't know what happened here to make the superior so angry." In fact, Sanzang still had something to say in his heart. This was no longer a simple matter of irritating the superior. , also involved in the orthodox dispute.

The reason for traveling westward to obtain Buddhist scriptures was that the Tang Dynasty king went to the underworld. He was uneasy and wanted Mahayana Buddhism to save the souls of the dead. This was just a trap set by Buddhism, and the one in heaven turned a blind eye to it.If you want Tianzhu to send people to the Tang Dynasty to obtain the Taoist scriptures, you don’t have to go through this big circle. If there is a drought and there is no rain, then you can’t believe in Buddhism or the Taoist method of praying for rain is not good, so you have to go to the Tang Dynasty to get the Taoist scriptures. , the King of Tianzhu would definitely send someone to get it, and he even wanted to get it in person. The longer it took, the less secure his position became.

After a while, Wukong came down from the sky.

When he saw the prince, he shouted loudly: "Just because you offended heaven and earth on December 25th three years ago and caused trouble to the people, now you refuse to rain!"

The prince immediately knelt on the ground, frightened and anxious, and asked Wukong how he knew this.

Then Wukong told what he saw in the sky.

It turned out that on December 25th three years ago, the Jade Emperor went out to monitor Wantian and traveled around the three realms. When he arrived at Fengxian County, he saw that the prince was unkind. He pushed the Jade Emperor down to feed the dogs, and uttered obscene words, which was a crime. Offense.In order to punish the princes, three things were set up in the Pixiang Hall. They waited until the cock was ten feet high and the rice mountain was gone, and the dog was twenty feet high and the mountain was gone, and the flames of the lamp burned through the locks as thick as a golden lock's finger. It rains in Fengxian County.

This frightened the princes. If this were true, it would probably take hundreds of years. As the saying goes, one day in the sky and one year on the earth, Fengxian County would have become desperate by then.

Sanzang hurriedly came over and asked Wukong if he had a solution. Wukong said: "When I came here, the Four Heavenly Masters once said that if a single thought of kindness alarms the heavens, the rice and the mountain will fall down immediately, and the locks and stiles will be broken immediately. "

The Marquis immediately said that he would listen to what Wukong had to say.

Wukong was also unambiguous and directly told the princes to recite the Buddha's name and read the sutras as soon as possible, so as to change their minds and do good deeds.The princes kowtowed directly and swore that they were willing to convert. Then they began to gather monks and Taoists, build monasteries, and write and issue documents.The prince led everyone to burn incense and pay homage, thank God and earth, blame themselves for their sins, and then taught everyone in the city to burn incense and recite Buddha's name.

When the sound of kindness filled his ears, Wukong went to the Heavenly Palace again to pray for rain.

At Nantianmen, I met the Zhifu envoy, holding a Taoist document and a monk's official ultimatum, speaking outly about Wukong's merits in persuading good deeds.Wukong understood immediately that it was done.He originally wanted to go to the Lingxiao Palace afterwards, but the Protector of the Kingdom advised Wukong to borrow some thunder from the Nine Heavens Yingyuan Thunder Universalization Heavenly Lord. When the thunder and lightning struck, the rain would naturally fall.

Wukong followed the instructions and went to Jiutian Yingyuan Mansion, met with Tianzun, explained the situation, and said that he had seen the Zhifu envoy reporting to the Jade Emperor.Tianzun just sent Deng, Xin, Zhang and Tao Shuai to lead Lightning Lady to Fengxian County to cry out thunder.

As soon as the thunder came, the people of Fengxian County knelt down together, holding incense burners on their heads, some holding willow branches in their hands, and they all chanted: "Namo Amitabha! Namo Amitabha!"

When a thought arises in the heart, the world knows everything. If there is no reward for good and evil, there must be selfishness in the universe.

After the appearance was over, the Jade Emperor naturally announced that it would rain.As for the three matters in Pixiang Hall, they have already been cleared.Whether the people in the lower world are praising Buddha or Tao is a trivial matter. The most important thing is to respect heaven.

This time, Fengxian County received three feet and 42 points of rain.

The rain has fallen enough, and the four gods have also withdrawn their magical powers, leaving no trace behind.After it was over, Wukong asked the four gods to clear the clouds and reveal their true bodies, which were sincerely worshiped by the people of Fengxian County.

"The Dragon King appears, and the thunder general relaxes. The cloud boy appears, and the Feng Bo comes true. The dragon king appears, and his silver beard is pale and unparalleled in the world. The thunder general relaxes his body, and his hook-mouthed majesty is incomparable. The cloud boy appears, and who is as jade-like as a jade Their faces are crowned with gold. The Feng Bo hangs down to his true self, and his eyebrows once seemed to be ringed by dry eyebrows. They all appear in the blue sky, and each one is lined up to display the sacred ceremony."

Everything seems to be over.

In order to reward Sanzang and his entourage, he insisted on keeping them for nearly half a month. When the temple was completed, Sanzang named him "Ganlin Puji Temple".Temples for four sentient beings were also erected to offer sacrifices at all times; temples for the God of Thunder and the God of Dragon were also erected to express gratitude for the divine merits.

It was a big deal to learn the scriptures, so the four of them bid farewell to the people of Fengxian County and continued their journey westward.

In the pavilion in the void, Ye Longfei summoned a doll with a round head and a fat face. The doll had piercing eyes and an inverted crescent birthmark in the middle of its forehead. It was wearing a yellow vest with raised shoulders and bell-bottom trousers, and a waist. Wearing a green leaf skirt, a red belt, and black red-headed cloth shoes.

"I said Dansheng, don't you have anything to say?"

Dan Sheng was very upright and just said: "Master asked me to use the Book of Heaven to benefit the people of the world. Demons are rampant in this world and the people need to be saved. It is my duty to do so."

Ye Longfei liked Dan Sheng very much. He rubbed his big head and said, "Okay, then you can go and save the world and benefit the common people."

After speaking, throw the pearl of the world into the river of time.

In fact, he didn't say a word: I won't let you get involved in the intrigues and intrigues.
