Super Prestige System

Chapter 342
Even if Buddhism wants to sell the Jade Emperor's face, if it doesn't rain on Fengxian County, it can always get some rice grains, right?

However, the Fomen didn't do anything, just watched two-thirds of the people in Fengxian County starve to death!
Why is this?

Could it be that Buddhism is also afraid of the Jade Emperor?
In order to unravel the mystery, Zhou Ding's spiritual sense has been following the Buddhist scriptures team, and finally met the sheriff of Fengxian County.

The appearance of the county guard is quite similar to the actors in the TV series, and he looks very loyal.

However, Zhou Ding was not fooled by his honest appearance. From the aura of the county guard, he could feel that this county guard must be a very smart and capable person.

It is true to think about it, three years of drought in Fengxian County, and two-thirds of the people starved to death. If this county guard had no ability, or even mediocre ability, I am afraid that his rule would have been overthrown by the hungry people.

But now, Fengxian County Sheriff not only still firmly holds the power of a place, but also obeys every order. It can be seen that Fengxian County Sheriff's ability is not ordinary.

The governor of Fengxian County warmly entertained Tang Monk and his disciples. After a full meal, Wukong wanted to ask for rain directly, but Zhou Ding stopped Wukong through voice transmission.

Zhou Ding told Wukong: "The governor of Fengxian County offended the Jade Emperor. If you want to ask for rain, you must do the work of the Jade Emperor. Without the Jade Emperor's will, no one dares to rain for Fengxian County. When the time comes, Sun Brother, I'm afraid I'll be ashamed."

Hearing this, Wukong immediately rode a cloud and went straight to the Heavenly Court to ask the Jade Emperor why.

The Jade Emperor ordered people to take Wukong to Pixiang Temple.

On the right side of Pixiang Hall stands a rice mountain about ten feet high. Beside the rice mountain is a chicken the size of a fist, eating rice there.

There is a noodle mountain in the middle, about [-] feet high, and there is a golden retriever pug next to the noodle mountain, licking the noodles there.

There is an iron shelf on the left, on which hangs a golden chain, and a bright lamp is burning under the chain, and the light is roasting the chain.

The person sent by the Jade Emperor told Wukong: "Three years ago, on December 25th, the governor of Fengxian County did something immoral and offended the Jade Emperor. Therefore, the Jade Emperor decided: wait until the chickens have eaten all the rice , wait for the puppy to finish licking his face, and wait for the lamp to burn off the chain before it can rain on Fengxian County."

Wukong was helpless, so he had to go back to Fengxian County and ask the governor of Fengxian County what unethical things he did on December 25 three years ago.

The governor of Fengxian County replied: "Three years ago, on December 25th, the subordinate officials offered sacrifices to Zhaitian in the yamen. Because of their unvirtuous wife, they fought with each other with vicious words. In a moment of anger, they overturned the altar and poured vegetarian food...?"

After explaining the ins and outs, the Fengxian County Guard said sincerely: "I did something wrong, and the Jade Emperor can punish me as much as I want. I beg the Jade Emperor to show mercy and forgive the people of Fengxian County."

Wukong didn't mention it since he went to work for the sheriff. Zhou Ding imagined a scene from the sheriff's reply:
The county guard was offering an offering to the Jade Emperor in the Yamen, and then, because his wife was not virtuous, he was furious and overturned the altar.

What seems wrong?
The county guard personally fasted the sky and worshiped the Jade Emperor, which can also show that the county guard is very respectful to the Jade Emperor.

Here comes the question: Since the sheriff is very respectful to the Jade Emperor, even if his wife offends him, he can't do anything, but must overturn the altar?

The sheriff was confused for a while?
It shouldn't be, this sheriff is a very capable person, how could he get confused so easily?
In addition, this is ancient times, and there is a "husband is the wife guide", if the wife makes him angry, just beat him up, why overturn the altar?

What on earth did the sheriff's wife do?Not only was he called unworthy, but the county guard was so angry that he overturned the altar?

Zhou Ding made up his mind: there were three people at the scene, one was the sheriff, one was the Jade Emperor, and the other was the sheriff's wife.

The sheriff's wife did something, and the sheriff was furious, but overturned the Jade Emperor's altar.

Is it really because the Jade Emperor punished him so severely because the Fengxian county guard overturned the altar in anger?

Is it a bit of a fuss?

Zhou Ding suddenly thought of a possibility: Could it be...the Jade Emperor gave Fengxian County Magistrate a cuckold?
Very likely hey!
If so, it all makes sense!

The Jade Emperor gave the Fengxian Sheriff a cuckold, but the Fengxian Sheriff couldn't help the Jade Emperor and his wife who was protected by the Jade Emperor. In a rage, he overthrew his offering to the Jade Emperor.

The reason why the Jade Emperor punished him so severely was to force the Fengxian county guard to bow his head.

If you bow your head, I will make it rain for you. If you don't bow your head, I will turn your Fengxian County into a ghost town.

In order to force the governor of Fengxian County to bow his head, the Jade Emperor not only refused to rain on Fengxian County, but also prevented outsiders from trading with Fengxian County, and at the same time prevented people from Fengxian County from fleeing.

If food from outside could come in, the price of food in Fengxian County could not be so expensive. Let alone Yuhua County, the next stop of the westward journey, is the place where grains are plentiful. catty.

Yuhua County and Fengxian County are both in Tianzhu, and the distance between them is not far.
If the grain from Yuhua County was sent to Fengxian County, why would the price of food in Fengxian County be as high as a hundred gold?

If the people of Fengxian County could escape to Yuhua County, two-thirds of them would not starve to death.

There is only one explanation for all this: the food outside cannot get in, and the refugees inside cannot get out!

Zhou Ding even guessed that Fengxian Sheriff wanted to bow his head a long time ago, but he couldn't find anyone who could help him pass the message.

Just in time, the team of Journey to the West arrived, just in time, Wukong could communicate with the Jade Emperor, the Fengxian County guard followed the boat and bowed his head to the Jade Emperor, and the Jade Emperor also pushed the boat along the boat, and untied the seal of Fengxian County.

Zhou Ding shook his head and cut off his wild thoughts: Even if the Jade Emperor cuckolded Fengxian County Magistrate, what does it matter to me?What are you doing so carelessly?
However, there is one problem that deserves Zhou Ding's attention, that is: the time when the Jade Emperor came to Fengxian County was on December 25 three years ago.

It is now May, that is to say, it has been less than two and a half years since Jade Emperor came to Fengxian County.

A few months ago, the Journey to the West team passed by Wanfa. At that time, the king of Wanfa had killed monks for two years. In this way, the time when the Jade Emperor came to Fengxian County was very close to the time when Wanfa began to kill monks. near.

Combined with some of the previous doubts, Zhou Ding boldly speculated: the person behind Wan France, and the person behind Nanshan King, is likely to be the Jade Emperor.

Of course, this inference needs to be further confirmed.

If the person behind Wan France and Nanshan King is really the Jade Emperor, then Zhou Ding not only lost an enemy, but also gained a friend. As the old saying goes: the enemy of an enemy is a friend!
In view of this, Zhou Ding decided: while continuing to demonstrate the possibility of this speculation, he made some minor changes to the original plan.

Once it is confirmed that the relationship between the Jade Emperor and the Buddhist sect is indeed incompatible, Zhou Ding's plan can be even more ruthless!
