The brothers who traveled westward in those years

Chapter 433 0434, Tianzhu Foreign Fengxian County

Liu Cheng was educated to convince others with virtue since he was a child, so he has never touched anyone since he was sensible.He was admitted as a scholar and Jinshi successively, and finally became the sheriff of Fengxian County.Fengxian County is located outside Tianzhu, and many monks pass by every year.Many monks stayed in Fengxian County, so Liu Cheng specially vacated a courtyard in the county guard's mansion for the monks to rest.

In the past, the sheriff usually only stays in Fengxian County for three to five years, but the sheriff of Liu Cheng has been working for 20 years.From a single person to a family with a wife and children.Every year when the weather is good, Liu Cheng is the first to worship God, and that year there is a natural disaster and man-made disaster, Liu Cheng is also the first to pray to heaven.

After Tang Seng and his disciples stepped into the boundary of Fengxian County, they heard about the reality of Liu Cheng from many people.Both Bajie and Sha Laosan thought that Liu Cheng was a good official, but Tang Seng only said that seeing is believing.But Wukong discovered something, that is, there is no lock on the door of every Fengxian County commoner.

This thing may seem inconspicuous, but it is actually very obvious.Wukong didn't care at first, but after he walked into the county town, he realized that there were more than one family.

Don't pick up lost things on the road and don't close the door at night, Wukong once heard this sentence from the Buddha before.Even in Heaven, the Jade Emperor dared not say that his territory could do this.You must not have the heart to harm others, and you must not have the heart to guard against others.This is the great truth that their cultivators often talk about, otherwise they would not have been ridiculed by Wukong so many times but never refuted.

During the Qingming Festival, it rains heavily, and passers-by want to lose their souls. If they ask where they are going to stay, the people all say to find someone.

Some people burn papers on the street, some people walk slowly with hunched bodies, some sob softly and refuse to leave.Tang Seng would recite Amitabha every step he took, and Bajie would open and close his eyes every step he took.Eyes open to see those mourning their loved ones in the street, eyes closed to chant sutras for them in the heart.

After walking for half an hour, Tang Seng and his apprentice finally arrived at the gate of the Sheriff's Mansion.It was Wukong who knocked on the door, but it was Tang Seng who stood at the door.The person who opened the door was supposed to be the housekeeper of Liu's residence, but after asking, he found out that the middle-aged man who opened the door was Liu Cheng, the prefect.

Hearing Tang Seng's explanation of his purpose, Liu Cheng hurriedly invited the four of them into his home.Let the servants serve some snacks first, and then tell the kitchen to prepare a vegetarian meal.When everything was arranged, Liu Cheng chatted with Tang Seng out of his mind.Tang Seng was talking all the time, but he didn't realize that Liu Cheng was out of his mind.

Wukong said: "Master Liu, do you have something to do?"

Hearing this, Liu Cheng suddenly got up, clasped his fists and said in a respectful voice: "I'm going to preside over a rain-seeking ceremony today, and I hope the four of you will not be offended. After I preside over the rain-seeking ceremony, how about coming to accompany you?"

Before Tang Seng could speak, Wukong waved his hand and said, "Go, go, I'll go with you."

As soon as the words fell, Liu Cheng led Wukong out of the hall.Tang Seng followed closely behind with a dark face, Bajie and Sha Laosan followed at a distance.They all knew that the big brother didn't take the master seriously at all, but they were even more afraid of being hurt by Chi Yu.The elder brother angered the master, and the master would take his anger on the two of them if he didn't dare to touch the elder brother.

But this time it's okay, Tang Seng kept holding back and didn't explode.A group of people came to Juncheng Square, where all the people of Fengxian County had already gathered.

After talking all the way, Wukong learned about the situation facing Fengxian County from Liu Chengkou.Liu Cheng has been in office for 20 years, and the first 14 years have been smooth, even if there are some natural disasters, they are not serious.The big guys can overcome it with their concerted efforts, and they have all experienced even the biggest natural disasters.

Six years ago, Fengxian County experienced the worst drought in ten years, and there was no drop of rain for a whole year.Five years ago, there was a 20-year drought in Fengxian County, and there was no rain for two years.Until now, Fengxian County has not had a drop of rain for six years.The common people had no harvest, let alone stored food, even if they could eat, they ate up.

There is no food in Fengxian County, so they can only buy food from other places.The common people have no source of income and have been living on their laurels for six years.But Fengxian County has always been a place where Buddhas are honored, even if they don't eat for three days, they won't treat the monks passing by here badly.

There hasn't been a drop of rain in six years. This is already a super drought that Fengxian County has not experienced in 500 years.Every year, many people come to Fengxian County to deliver charcoal in the snow. They all claim to have some magical powers, not only can call the wind and rain, but also can keep Fengxian County from drought and flood.The requirements they put forward are also different, but after satisfying their requirements, none of them can get things done.

This time to pray for rain, the Taoist priest who cast the spell came from afar.No one knows where he came from, but everyone calls him a fairy.In order to allow the immortal to cast spells to pray for rain, Liu Cheng had already used the official bank that was used to buy grain.If he can't succeed this time, Liu Cheng can only apologize with death.

Wukong stood under the stage, looking at the Taoist priest who claimed to be an immortal on the stage waving the wooden sword in his hand.All kinds of spells were burned by him, and he chanted spells that others couldn't understand at all.Tang Seng was standing next to the high platform. Liu Cheng hoped that he could help him pray for rain, and Tang Seng would certainly not refuse.

The three brothers stood together, watching the performance with great interest.Bajie patted his belly, which seemed to be eight or nine months pregnant, and said in a low voice, "Brother Monkey, are you just watching him play tricks?"

Sha Laosan stroked his beard and said, "That's right, senior brother, you can't ignore this matter."

The corners of Wukong's mouth curled up with his arms crossed, and he said with a smile, "Bajie, Laosha, what's wrong with you two today? Normally, I beat you and you think I'm meddling, but today I didn't say a word and you two Keep persuading me to make a move?"

Bajie and Sha Laosan looked at each other and smiled, and could only shut up obediently.Wukong naturally knew what they were thinking, but with their IQs alone, they couldn't compare to half of Wukong.He wasn't in the mood to show off his IQ to them at all, and of course he wouldn't expose their tricks face to face.

The rain-seeking ceremony lasts from morning to noon, and from noon to afternoon.The sun was about to set, and the immortal standing on the high platform was still waving the wooden sword in his hand.However, compared to before, his movements were much slower at this time.And his forehead was already covered with beads of sweat, and his Taoist robe was already drenched.

Glancing at Liu Cheng standing at the corner of the high platform, Wukong's heart sinks and flashes away.Raising his hand to grab Liu Cheng's wrist, Wukong calmly threw the dagger in his hand to the audience.Liu Cheng looked at Wukong with ashen face, trembling all over, he was speechless for a long time.

"I know what you're thinking, but it's not your fault. After all, you can't take the deceitful trick seriously. Let this immortal leave immediately." Wukong said indifferently.

Liu Cheng was taken aback when he heard the words, and said in a trembling voice, "Elder Sun, do you have a solution?"

Wukong said: "Let everyone go back to their homes first. If there is anything to do, we can discuss it after we go back."

Only then did Liu Cheng come to his senses, the ceremony of praying for rain had already been going on for a day.Many people at the scene couldn't hold it anymore, and he only said one sentence, and all the people in the county who gathered together dispersed.Many people shouted on the high platform while walking, most of them were trying to persuade Liu Cheng.

I hope he doesn't take it to heart, if it doesn't work this time, there will be a next time.Everyone believed that he had this ability, and he would definitely be able to bring Fengxian County back to glory.There were also many common people who walked through the high platform and actually bowed down to salute Liu Cheng.In order to express their respect for Liu Cheng, Liu Cheng has long been regarded as a family member in their hearts.

Liu Cheng knelt on the high platform, roaring and apologizing to everyone.Everyone also quietly wiped away their tears, and the crowd gradually dispersed, only Liu Cheng and Tang Seng and his disciples were left in the county square.The immortal had already been thrown away by Wukong, and it is estimated that he had flown hundreds of miles by now.

Don't expose the guy who claims to be an immortal in person, of course Wukong didn't want to save face for that guy.It was for Liu Cheng, and also for the people of Fengxian County.No matter what kind of cruel encounter a person encounters, the worst thing is losing hope.

Back at the Sheriff's Mansion, Liu Cheng couldn't wait to question Wukong.At this time, Wukong has already felt a headache that is gradually increasing.Looking back at the neglected Tang Seng, Wukong got up and gave up the main seat.Sitting on the main seat, Tang Seng cleared his throat and talked with Liu Cheng about praying for rain.

He is a person who likes to find a sense of presence, even in front of a county guard like Liu Cheng, Tang Seng doesn't like to be ignored.He can force the right to speak, and of course he can force Wukong to listen to him.It doesn't matter if you are disobedient, anyway, he has a way to make Wukong submit.

There was nothing to say all night. At breakfast, Tang Seng told Wukong to find the Dragon King to bring some rain to Fengxian County.Heavy rain or very heavy rain is fine. Anyway, Fengxian County has not rained for six years, so it doesn't matter how heavy it is.Wukong glanced at Tang Seng, soared into the clouds and drove somersaulting clouds to the Dragon Palace.

If Liu Cheng hadn't looked for him last night, Wukong definitely wouldn't have gone to the Dragon King just because of Tang Seng's words.He really has to take care of the affairs of Fengxian County, since the result is the same, there's no harm in making that bastard Tang Seng scream.Besides, for Wukong, isn't it a piece of cake to ask the Dragon King to make some rain?

After going to the Dragon Palace, the Dragon King was not at home. When he returned to Fengxian County, Wukong received a message from the Dragon King.The Dragon King who was on a business trip happened to pass through Fengxian County, and just after Wukong left the Dragon Palace, the Dragon King received news from his family.

Dark clouds covered the entire Fengxian County, and the people all stood on the street, preparing pots and pans with joy.They took out all the things that could catch water, and just waited for the heavy rain.

Wukong said: "Old Dragon King, it's like three autumns if we don't see each other every day. My old grandson hasn't seen you for a while."

"Stop, Great Sage, this is not the first time we have dealt with each other. You are not a handsome guy and I am not a beautiful woman, so don't play charades with me. Since you are in Fengxian County, the rain must have something to do with you, right?" said the old dragon king. .

Wukong gave the old Dragon King a thumbs up, and said with a smile: "As expected of old friends, we really have a good understanding. Now that you have guessed it, then my old grandson will stop talking nonsense. Hurry up and give Fengxian County some Let it rain, just a heavy rain, heavy rain or something."

The old dragon king almost spat out a mouthful of old blood when he heard the words, and said angrily: "Great Sage, do you think the Heavenly Court is opened by your family? You can do it as you say, and you can do it as big as you want? To tell you the truth, this matter I can't make the decision, if I want to rain, I need the approval of the leader. Without the approval of the leader, I dare not rain a drop."

Wukong squeezed the old Dragon King's ear, and said: "I said, you old guy, you don't want to drink a toast, you don't eat fine wine, right? I can't talk to you well, right? Are you going to come down or not?"

"Ouch!" The old Dragon King stood on tiptoe and begged for mercy a few times, seeing that Wukong didn't intend to let go, he sternly said, "Without the leader's consent, I won't let go even if I'm beaten to death."
