Journey to the West: Don’t mess with that monster

Chapter 530: Fengxian returns to the good and heavy rain falls, the four masters and apprentices are upset

"Of course not." Ao Guang smiled and shook his head, "But Xiao Feng and Ao Ji are married. If it had happened a few days earlier, we could have asked the Great Sage to go to Jin'ao Island for a drink at the wedding.

You don’t know how lively Jin’ao Island was at that time.”

The monkey was speechless. I was here protecting Tang Seng with great difficulty.

They were having so much fun...

After Ao Guang finished speaking, he didn't provoke him anymore and just left.

The monkey did not go directly to heaven, but returned to the small temple first.

In the small temple, the county magistrate Shangguan was waiting anxiously. When he saw the monkey coming, he immediately stepped forward and asked, "Is it going to rain now?"

"Not yet." The monkey said unhappily. "Didn't you listen to the old Dragon King? We need the will of Heaven."

"Bajie, Junior Brother Sha, the two of you must protect Master.

I will go to the Heavenly Palace to ask the Jade Emperor for a decree to make it rain." The monkey said to the two of them.

"Big Brother, you better hurry up.

One day in heaven is one year on earth. If you come back late, not only Fengxian County, but we will starve to death!" Zhu Bajie said in a muffled voice.

"You lazy pig!" The monkey wanted to teach him a lesson, but he also felt that time was running out and he couldn't waste any more time.

He reached the South Gate of Heaven directly with one somersault.

"Three masters, I'll have someone bring some food over." County Magistrate Shangguan said enthusiastically.

Tang Seng shook his head and refused, "If there is really any extra food, share some with the people in the county."

County Magistrate Shangguan promised repeatedly, but no one knew whether he would do it.

The Dragon King of the East Sea came out of Fengxian County and wanted to go back to the East Sea, but he changed his mind and went to Jin'ao Island.

At this time, there were constant thunders in the East China Sea, and Emperor Zhang Qing was actually sitting on the sea practicing thunder magic.

I could never calm down in the Qingdi Palace. I was either thinking about Chang'e, Qingqing or Qingzhi.

There is no need to worry about the clam girls, they are very obedient and will do whatever you tell them to do.

Emperor Zhang Qing dispersed the thunder and returned to Jin'ao Island in one step.

Ao Guang looked at the palace in front of him. This palace was truly extraordinary.

Ao Guang could feel that this palace had the aura of the Crocodile God Palace.

What remains is the purest thunder energy, which should be the combination of the two palaces into one.

This is really a big deal.

"Last time I saw you hesitant, as if you had something to say.

I asked you, but you didn't answer. I was also busy playing... practicing, so I didn't ask any more questions. "Zhang Qingdi said as soon as he saw Ao Guang.

Ao Guang quickly stood up and saluted.

“Last time I didn’t mention it because I was worried about disrupting the wedding, but this time I was called to Fengxian County by the Great Sage.

I'll just talk to Master Qing about this as well." Ao Guang said quickly.

Emperor Zhang Qing motioned him to sit down and talked, and asked Liu'er to bring the fairy wine.

Ao Guang told Zhang Qingdi everything about the Jade Emperor taking away the power to make rain. He told Zhang Qingdi in more detail, without hiding any of the inside stories.

"Is he in charge of all matters related to rainfall in the Three Realms?" Emperor Zhang Qing snorted with disdain.

At most, he can only manage the Southern Continent and the Western Continent.

He tried to stop it from raining in his own Uttarakuru!
Oh, I didn't expect him to bring rain.

"Master Uncle has no reaction?" This is what Zhang Qingdi is most concerned about.

Ao Guang shook his head.

"We don't understand what Master Uncle is planning." Emperor Zhang Qing didn't think much about it, "If that's the case, then you should follow the Jade Emperor's order.

If you follow his rules, he will still cause trouble for you.

Then you can bring the dragon clan to Jin'ao Island. I can protect you on this island."

After hearing what Zhang Qingdi said, Ao Guang felt that all his investment over the years had not been in vain.

The monkey in heaven was truly eye-opening as he saw the conditions for making it rain in Fengxian County.

At this time, the monkey was in the Hall of Incense.

I saw a rice mountain about ten feet high and a flour mountain about twenty feet high.

Beside the rice mountain there was a chicken as big as a fist, pecking at the rice with its pecks sometimes fast and sometimes slow.

There was a golden-haired pug on the side of the mountain, licking the noodles with its long tongue and short tongue.

There was an iron frame hanging on the left, with a golden lock on it. It was about one foot three or four inches long, and the lock bar was as thick as a finger. There was a bright lamp underneath, and the flame of the lamp was burning the lock bar.

At this time, the monkey said to the Heavenly Master who was accompanying him, "Wouldn't it be great if the Jade Emperor could directly send down thunderbolts to destroy Fengxian County? Why would we need all this?"

How could the Taoist priest dare to respond? He just smiled and said nothing.

Monkey now knows why Fengxian County is like this.

It turned out that on December 25th three years ago, the Jade Emperor went out to monitor the heavens and traveled through the three realms. When he arrived at Fengxian County, he saw that Shangguan Zheng was unkind. He pushed down the vegetarian offerings to feed the dogs and spoke obscene words, committing a crime of offense.

So the Jade Emperor set three things: the chickens would peck all the rice on the mountain, the dogs would lick all the flour on the mountain, and the fire would burn the locks and bars.

The Jade Emperor was very kind and did not destroy Fengxian County directly. He gave you a chance, so you should be grateful for his kindness!
If it were the monkeys of the past, they would have directly destroyed the Hall of Incense.

But now the monkeys are not so impulsive.

At this time, the monkey was thinking about a solution, and he heard the Heavenly Master say, "Don't worry, Great Sage, this matter is not difficult to solve.

If the superior had a kind thought, as long as he alerted the heaven, the mountains of rice and flour would immediately fall down and the locks would immediately break.

If you persuade him to be good, good things will come to him. "

"How to return to goodness?" the monkey looked at him and asked.

"It depends on how that mortal decides." The Heavenly Master said with a smile.

The monkey didn't want to delay in the sky, so he went straight back to Fengxian County.

The county magistrate Shangguan stayed in the small temple every day for seven or eight days. When he finally saw the monkey coming back, he immediately asked excitedly, "Master, did you get the will?"

The monkey told the whole story.

After listening to this, Tang Seng looked at Shangguan County Magistrate and asked, "Is this true?"

"Ah! It's all that bitch's fault!" Shangguan County Magistrate said in hatred. "After that, I whipped her to death!
If I had known earlier, I should have killed her and offered sacrifice to the gods!"

"Amitabha!" Tang Seng exclaimed in shock. "If we do this, I'm afraid it will backfire!"

“Elders, God advises me to return to goodness.

How should I return this kindness?" Shangguan County Magistrate asked.

The monkey knew the answer, but didn't say anything.

Even the naive Elder Tang knows that Guishan is not true goodness!

It is what the gods think is good!

It’s just like the gods think you are evil, instead of sending down disasters to punish you!

But the county magistrate did something wrong, and there will be a three-year drought!
Let the people exchange their children for food and let the people starve to death!
What about the county magistrate who did something wrong?
He simply whipped his concubine to death, and then he had no worries about food and clothing every day. All he had to do was pretend to be eager to pray for rain.

It is really easy for some people to return to goodness.

But it is really difficult for some people.

Zhu Bajie looked up at the sky and said, "This bird is such an eyesore!"

Finally, Sha Seng said, "Brother, tell him. Otherwise, the people will suffer.

At least it rained here, and the people have a way to survive.”

"Amitabha!" Tang Seng put his hands together.

"Master, is Guishan very troublesome?" County Magistrate Shangguan asked with some concern.

Finally, the monkey spoke up and said, "If you really want to be kind, you should either recite sutras and pray to Buddha as soon as possible, or apologize to the Jade Emperor, but the most important thing is to treat the people well.

If you continue to behave as before, God will not bring trouble to Fengxian County, but your life will be in danger."

The monkey threatened half-seriously.

The Magistrate Shangguan was so frightened that he kowtowed and vowed to convert.

At that time, local monks and Taoists were invited to start building a temple.

Tang Seng and his three disciples looked at the people with pale faces. They did such strenuous work but in the end they could only get a bowl of rice porridge.

The four of them all looked unhappy...

A few days later, Magistrate Shangguan led the people to burn incense and pay homage, thank heaven and earth, and blame themselves for their crimes.

Originally, County Magistrate Shangguan requested Elder Tang to hold a Dharma Assembly, but was directly rejected by Elder Tang.

The county magistrate did not dare to get angry, but only ordered that everyone, regardless of gender, in the city and outside the city, must burn incense and kowtow to pay homage to the Jade Emperor.

From then on, my ears are filled with kind voices!
"What a merciful Jade Emperor! Amitabha." The monkey couldn't help but sneer.

"Wukong, go to Heaven again.

In this case, it's time for rain here." Elder Tang said.

The monkey nodded and went to heaven, after some pretense.

He then brought the Thunder and Rain tribes to bring thunder and rain.

Soon they arrived at Fengxian County and began to perform magic in mid-air.

All I heard was the rumble of thunder and the flash of lightning.

At this time, the sky was covered with dark clouds, lightning and thunder.

In and outside the city of Fengxian County, officials of all ranks, soldiers and civilians had not heard any thunder or lightning for three whole years. Today, when they heard thunder and lightning, they all knelt down, with incense burners on their heads and some holding willow branches in their hands.

Some of them chanted Buddha's name, and some kowtowed.

The monkeys just thought they were stupid and pitiful!
A moment later, heavy rain began to fall, moistening the dry and cracked land. People knelt in the rain in a proper manner, praying for the rain. So they did not dare to act recklessly or cheer.

This time the Jade Emperor was very generous and the heavy rain stopped after a long time.

As soon as the heavy rain stopped, the gods revealed their true forms.

People kowtowed one after another, and County Magistrate Shangguan was the most pious.

On the second day, people had already started to reclaim the wasteland.

Looking at the busy people, Tang Seng felt complicated.

"Wukong, do you think the Fengxian County Magistrate can really treat the people well?" Tang Seng couldn't help but ask.

The four masters and apprentices, as well as the horse, quietly left Fengxian County.

No one told...

"Master, I don't know." The monkey also felt a little frustrated.

"Is the matter of Fengxian County over like this?" Zhang Qingdi suddenly appeared.

Tang Seng was frightened, but the monkey smiled happily when he saw Zhang Qingdi.

"We really don't know how to solve this problem." Facing Zhang Qingdi, Monkey spoke out all his thoughts. "It was the fault of the county governor. Why should the people of the county suffer?

In the end, only the people starved to death, but the county magistrate was still the county magistrate, and the gods were still gods!

Master Qing, tell me why this is happening! "

The monkeys were angry because the Heavenly Court never cared about the lives of the people from the beginning to the end. What they cared about was offerings and their own face.

What about the county magistrate? He cares about his position and his life.

"Don't try to bluff me." Zhang Qingdi said dissatisfiedly, "If you are not satisfied, go to the Heavenly Court and help them settle the account!"

The monkey immediately shut up. Tang Seng clasped his hands together and said, "Master Qingdi, since you are here, do you have any solution?"

"My method is only a temporary solution, not a fundamental solution," Zhang Qingdi said to them.
