Journey to the West: People are in heaven, working from nine to five

Chapter 1989 Drought Fengxian County
  The matter came to an end temporarily under the Jade Emperor's mediation, and Tathagata Buddha led Xitian's men to start cleaning up the mess.

The Jade Emperor also left with his people and returned to Heaven. Chu Hao and Sun Wukong also returned to Hidden Mist Mountain.

Back at Hidden Mist Mountain, Sun Wukong and the other three took out the treasures they had snatched from the West. The treasures they had snatched were piled into a small mountain.

"Brother, it's a good harvest this time. It's all Xitian's ill-gotten gains. Let's share it."

"I, the old pig, robbed the most. This is also my wish for the boss."

"With all these treasures, we've made a fortune."

Sun Wukong, the three of them and Chu Hao looked at the treasure in front of them and began to sit on the ground and divide the spoils.

"Although these treasures are all good, this one is the most valuable."

To Chu Hao, these treasures are nothing, but there is one thing that even he really values.

What Chu Hao was talking about were four fruits the size of longan. The fruits looked like apples, but were golden yellow and shimmering.

"This is the fruit of Buddha. It is a great creation made by gathering the aura of the West."

Chu Hao introduced Sun Wukong and the others that this Buddha fruit is a treasure of heaven and earth. It is probably the treasure of the Tathagata, and they are not willing to enjoy it casually.

"Since the boss likes it, then it belongs to the boss."

Although Zhu Bajie was greedy, he was not stingy at all towards Chu Hao.

"Brother, I'll let you choose first."

Sun Wukong also said.

"Since the four of us got it together, let's take one for each of us. When this thing leaves the land of the West, the spiritual energy will dissipate quickly, so we will take it immediately."

But Chu Hao shook his head and shared the Buddha fruit equally with Sun Wukong, which made the three of them very moved.

The four of them took the Buddha Fruit respectively, but Zhu Bajie was a little anxious and almost swallowed it in one gulp.

"Boss, Brother Monkey, what does this Buddha fruit taste like?"

Zhu Bajie, who had not tasted it, asked Chu Hao and Sun Wukong, making the two of them laugh uncontrollably.

After taking the Buddha Fruit, the four of them immediately felt that their bodies were overflowing with spiritual energy and their bodies were extremely light. This was a sign that their cultivation level was improving and that they were about to break through the realm.

One Buddha fruit is worth more than ten thousand flat peaches. Such a created thing will obviously improve the cultivation of the four people.

Then the four of them picked out the remaining treasures and divided them up, and then began to discuss the next trip.

"Brother, I think the master should be waiting anxiously. We have to hurry up and continue westward."

Sun Wukong said to Chu Hao that Tang Seng's disappearance was originally their plan. In fact, Chu Hao and Sun Wukong all knew where Tang Seng was.

"Well, by the time we arrive, things in Fengxian County will be almost done."

Chu Hao nodded and signaled Zhu Bajie and Sha Seng to quickly pack their luggage and horses before continuing westward.

The reason why Buddha and Guanyin could not find out the whereabouts of Tang Seng was because Chu Hao gave Tang Seng a secret talisman.

Tang Seng took advantage of King Nanshan to cast spells and used the Tianji Talisman, and the Tianji Talisman directly teleported Tang Seng to the next stop - Fengxian County.

Tang Seng, who first arrived in Fengxian County, was shocked by the scene before him.

Fengxian County is located at the center of transportation. Logically speaking, it should be prosperous with commerce and the people should be prosperous, and at least they should have enough food and clothing.

But what Tang Monk saw was one of poverty and depression, the people were sallow and thin, the people walking on the road were like refugees, and some people even starved to death on the roadside.

"Amitabha, why is Fengxian County so miserable?"

Tang Seng was puzzled by this and looked for a pedestrian on the roadside to ask.

"May I ask the donor, this is Fengxian County." Tang Monk asked the man.

"Exactly!"

The man nodded in reply.

"Why does Fengxian County look like this?"

Tang Seng then asked again.

"Elder, you are not a local. You don't know something. Our Fengxian County has not seen a drop of rain for three years. The rivers have dried up and the wells have become dry. Not only are the farmers unable to plant, but even the drinking water of the people in the city is a problem."

The man introduced Tang Seng with a depressed and desperate expression.

"How could this be?"

Tang Seng was a little unbelievable. It had not rained for three years. This was a disaster for the people.

"Alas, now the people of Fengxian County are starving to death and fleeing for their lives. The entire Fengxian County has become a desperate situation."

In fact, Tang Seng could also see that if the entire Fengxian County continued like this, it might not take long before it would become a place of death.

At this moment, bursts of chanting sutras and chanting Buddha's name suddenly came, and then a team appeared. There were many people in the team, and several monks were leading the team while reciting sutras.

"What does this do?"

Tang Seng looked at the team and asked doubtfully.

"This is a procession to worship the sky and pray for rain. Walking in the middle of the procession is the local magistrate. This magistrate is a good official who works hard and loves the people.

Since the drought, the county marquis personally led the people, diverted water and dug wells and tried various methods. Otherwise, Fengxian County might not be able to survive for three years and there would be no one left. "

When it comes to the county prince, the man showed gratitude, which shows that the county prince does have prestige in the hearts of the people.

"Although Lord Marquis has tried every means, man cannot compete with heaven and still cannot change the situation in Fengxian County.

Therefore, almost every first and fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year, the Lord Marquis will arrange to offer sacrifices to the sky and pray for rain, hoping that the sky will show mercy and send down the rain. "

When Tang Seng heard this, he basically understood completely that the disaster of Fengxian County lies here.

"What Immortal Chu Hao said about building the plank road openly and secretly attacking Chen Cang was that they went to fight with Xitian, while I came to Fengxian County to deal with the matter first."

Tang Seng couldn't help but admire Chu Hao's arrangements in this matter.

Tang Seng is a mortal, with a mortal body and no magical power. Naturally, he cannot be of much help when fighting monsters and fighting against the West.

However, what happened in Fengxian County was a disaster caused by the heavenly general, not a goblin, and the county prince was a good official who worked hard and loved the people.

Then things would be much easier to handle, and Tang Seng would have room to perform.

"I'll go with you and have a look. After they offer sacrifices to the sky and pray for rain, I can meet with the county magistrate again."

Tang Seng said and followed the team of worshiping heaven.

The procession of worshiping heaven was composed of monks chanting sutras in the front, county magistrates and others in the middle, and ordinary people following them spontaneously. Tang Monk was still dressed as a monk, so no one would notice him following the procession.

The team offering sacrifices to the sky and praying for rain arrived at a temple. An incense table was set up in front of the temple and the offerings were placed.

"God is merciful and gods and Buddhas are merciful. There has been a drought in Fengxian County for three years, and the people have no food and clothing and have been displaced.

In the hope that the rain will fall to save all living beings, I, the Lord of Fengxian County, will lead the people to worship sincerely. "

The monarch stood up and recited the words of worship to heaven. After reciting, he led the people to kowtow and worship.

But even with such sincerity, the sky was still scorching with scorching sun, and not even a single cloud appeared.
