[Journey to the West] So I am Monk Tang

I tried desperately to think back, but my memory is unreliable and it’s not a day or two. I really can’t remember any calamity on the westbound road that was related to drought.Of course, we have encountered drought-stricken countries before, but when we went, their problems had been solved, which was completely different from this empty dead city.

Fengxian County...

I chanted the name, but it was Impatiens Flower and Little Impatiens that emerged.

Well, Xiaofengxian is probably a personal name, but I can't remember the origin of this peachy name.

But it should have nothing to do with Journey to the West.

I was thinking wildly at the gate of the city, and suddenly felt a little movement in the street. I turned my head and saw a thin man running towards me, and Brother Hou followed him.

"Master, I have brought the local county lord here." Brother Monkey introduced me.

As soon as the Marquis of the county ran to my side, before he could say anything, he knelt down and bowed down, "I beseech the holy monk to be merciful, show your supernatural powers, and save me, Fengxian County!"

"My lord, please get up." I hastily helped him up, and couldn't help but look behind him, and there were two people who looked like old servants following behind, "I didn't know what happened when I first arrived in Guibao. Go into details?"

"Okay, okay, please come to my house." The Junhou didn't make any sense, his earnest face seemed to regard me as a savior.

The streets in the city are paved with bluestone slabs, one can imagine the richness of the place in the past, the Junhou's Mansion is still some distance away, the Junhou couldn't help it, and just poured out the matter on the road.

Fengxian County is an outer county of Tianzhu Kingdom. It has always been rich and the people are happy.As a result, 20 years ago, it suddenly became dry.Junhou Dao Dao, the Jade Emperor is enshrined in the mansion. Since the first year when there were signs of drought, he burned incense every day and made offerings every night, praying for a little mercy and rain.However, this prayer did not go up to the heavens, and they would not leave when the drought came. There was no grass in Fengxian County, and the grain was cut off. disappear.The time of the severe drought is getting worse and worse, and the binding force of the county lord is getting weaker and weaker. In the end, the people in Fengxian County either died or moved away.

In the end, only Junhou and his two old servants were left to live here, and his family members had already left.

"Why didn't the Junhou leave?" I asked.

"My surname is Shangguan, and I am also a surname in Tianzhu. Since I took over Fengxian County, I have worked hard and loved the people like a son. I have also been praised as honest and virtuous." The county marquis sighed, "But this severe drought happened during my governance. It is useless to pray to the gods and Buddha, and there are people who make up and say that this is a crime I did secretly. , I stayed here, guarding the list, hoping that one day someone with great powers will come here and solve the disaster. At that time, even if I die immediately, I can rest in peace."

"Why should the Marquis say such ominous words? I dare not say anything about others, but my apprentice is familiar with the Dragon King of the Four Seas. It has not rained in this place for 20 years. It cannot be justified anyway. Maybe someone was negligent and made a mistake. .” I comforted.

"Lord Dragon can make mistakes too?" Junhou couldn't believe it.

"In Datang, there used to be a dragon king who did not follow the rules and was beheaded in the end." I replied.

There was joy and sorrow in the eyes of the Junhou, and he bowed deeply to me again, "I also ask the high disciples to help."

I took a look at Brother Hou, who took care of everything, "I will keep it on my grandson, and I will keep it to let you know the ins and outs of this matter. If there is something perfunctory, don't even think about it."

The Junhou opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything, but bowed deeply to Brother Hou.

After Brother Monkey left, Junhou was stunned for a while, and then he came back to his senses, and hurriedly asked the old servant to serve us tea. I took a sip, and felt that the water was not very fresh, as if it had been left for a long time.But before I could speak, Zhu Bajie, who was the most impatient before, had already spit out the water in one gulp, "Why does this water have a smell?"

There was a little distress in the eyes of the Junhou, and he explained in his mouth: "Please forgive me, but there is really no water in my Fengxian County. These were transported from far away. The water has been on the road for several months. After arriving here , and it’s really not new.”

Zhu Bajie froze for a moment, looked hesitantly at the water he had sprayed on the ground before, the water fell on the ground, and after such a few words, there was only a little watermark left.

Then he took out the jade bottle, "There is water here, old pig, please drink it."

The Junhou looked at the clear water poured into the large white porcelain bowl, holding the bowl with trembling hands, the edge of the bowl was close to his lips, he first sipped it in small mouthfuls, then drank it in big mouthfuls, tears rolled down the corners of his eyes, a few drops He fell into the bowl, but he didn't realize it.

As a bystander, I admit that this scene is quite sad to watch.

"Drink slowly, the water pipe here is enough for the old pig." After Junhou drank the water in the bowl, before he put down the bowl, Zhu Bajie filled it up again.

The Marquis of the county was crying.

At this moment, I saw that the sky outside suddenly darkened.

"Is it going to rain?" Bai Jingjing asked, "The Dragon King should be walking the clouds outside, right?"

The Marquis of the county was stunned, he didn't even care to drink the water, he ran to the yard in two or three steps, saw the dark clouds that kept gathering, knelt on the ground, and chanted words, I listened to them, they were all words of prayer and thanks.

Then, it only took a while for the dark clouds to gather, and they dissipated after a while.

The figure of Junhou kneeling on the ground became stiff.

"Holy Monk..." His voice was trembling, "Could it be that my Fengxian County is going to perish from now on, is there no more life?"

I pursed my lips and comforted, "Wait a little longer."

A few Wu gathered together and looked at the sky from time to time. Judging from their expressions, they were also a little surprised by this development.

That's right, that's Brother Monkey, just here to make a rain, not to mention as simple as having dinner with someone, but before, who would have thought that this would not be possible?

"There has been a severe drought in this place for years, it should not be due to the negligence of the Dragon King." The third prince of Yulong came slowly, carrying a soil monkey in his hand.

I raised my eyes, this guy has finally had enough of spending time outside with the monkey son?

"How to say?" Even so, the third prince Yulong was born in the family of the Dragon King, and there may be hidden rules that we don't know about.

"If the Dragon King comes, it means that this land is not ruled by the Dragon Clan, but even if the Dragon King comes and gathers dark clouds, there is still no rain. It can only show that someone expressly prohibits rain here." The third prince of Yulong said plausibly, " Otherwise, no dragon king would dare to bear the karma."

"Who would do this? There is such an enmity with Fengxian County." I looked at the county lord, did he offend some kind of careful-eyed fairy when he was ignorant?

"I don't know that." Third Prince Yulong shook his head, "But I know that that person must have a high status, even higher than Eldest Brother."

"How?" I asked.

"Master, I don't know. Eldest brother is an evil star among the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas. If it's a trivial matter that can be handled easily, they won't make it difficult." Third Prince Yulong looked at the sky, "The Dragon King would never dare to provoke someone who ordered the rain That person, otherwise, even if there is no decree not to let it rain without authorization, no one can control him if he sneezes twice at will for the sake of senior brother. And the Dragon King's sneeze, falling into the mortal world, is also a rain."

Brother Hou's position in the Heavenly Court is no longer that of the former Bi Mawen. Although he has no official position now, even if someone in the Heavenly Court does not take him seriously, he will still sell his face.As for the person who won't sell his face——

I looked at Junhou, could he offend such a person, to be precise, a god?

Or, does he have the ability to offend?

When Brother Hou came back, the atmosphere on our side was a little gloomy.

"Master, I'm back." As soon as Brother Hou's voice came, the man was already standing in front of me.

"Wukong." I completely ignored the pleasantries, "What is the entanglement in this? Why did the heavens recognize Fengxian County and not let it go?"

Monkey Brother looked at the Junhou, "After all, it was you who caused the disaster."

Many years ago, on December 25th, the Jade Emperor was traveling that day, watching all the heavens, floating in the Three Realms, and happened to come to Fengxian County, and bumped into the county marquis who pushed him to the desk where the Jade Emperor was enshrined, and fed the offering to the dog, which was very offensive.The Jade Emperor was furious immediately, and after returning to the Heavenly Court, three things were established.

"In the Pixiang Hall, there is a rice mountain about ten feet long; there is a rice mountain about twenty feet long; there is also a lock bar that is as thick as a three- to four-inch long finger..." Following Brother Hou's narration, I The deep-buried impression in my mind was awakened, "Beside Mishan, there is a chick the size of a fist, next to it is a golden-haired pug dog, and a bright lamp is dyed under the lock bar, and the flame of the lamp is burning the lock bar. When will Mishan Mianshan has been eaten up, and the lock bars have been burned, when will it rain in Fengxian County?"

After hearing this, the Marquis rolled his eyes, his legs went limp, and he fell to the ground, unconscious.

"Hey, hey, why did the old sun faint before he finished speaking?" Brother Hou jumped up, waking up the prince again.

As soon as the Marquis woke up, his eyes were blank, and his whole body exuded an air of despair, "The disaster in Fengxian County is all my fault. If I want to die immediately, I will never refuse, but why do the people in my county suffer? Fleeing and dying, but leaving me here alone?!"

"Don't be discouraged, this matter is not unsolvable." Brother Monkey comforted.

"If there is nothing on the surface of the Mi Mountain and the stiles burn out, this Fengxian County will be completely dead." The Marquis cried.

"If you sincerely repent and have charity in your heart, this matter can be resolved." Brother Monkey said, "This is the method that the four great masters told me."

"I have repented all these years, but this Fengxian County is still corrupted." Said the Marquis.

"What do you regret?" Brother Monkey asked.

"My administration is unrighteous, which offends the heavens and hurts the common people," replied the Marquis.

Brother Hou scratched his head, "But the Jade Emperor is angry with you because you overturned his desk. You confess other things, of course it's useless."

"But I don't know that the Jade Emperor was furious because of this incident."

Junhou's expression... I couldn't bear to look at it.
