Others follow advice and imitate celebrities, but you start by pretending to be a god?

Soon, two Taoists came forward, one in front and one behind, carrying a strange monk with a fat head and huge ears.

"Bajie!" Sun Wukong called out as soon as he saw him. Tang Sanzang's eyes also showed some concern.

As soon as Zhu Bajie saw him, he complained: "I really don't know what happened to you, my senior brother. When facing the enemy yesterday, you actually abandoned me and ran away, leaving me alone in the enemy camp."

Sun Wukong smiled nonchalantly and said, "You are fine, aren't you? Wait and see how I fight you later, and I will help you vent your anger."

"Hmph, don't be too happy too soon." On the Five Phoenix Tower, the King of Chechi Kingdom warned, "If you can really win the fight, it's fine. If you can't beat those national masters, then you must follow the laws of our Chechi Kingdom and accept the punishment obediently."

"No problem, no problem." Sun Wukong answered confidently, never thinking that he would lose.

Next to him, Tang Sanzang was still a little worried and asked again: "Wukong, are you sure?"

Sun Wukong looked around and saw that the "great national master" was not there. He felt even more confident and said, "Master, don't worry. The great national master is not here. The remaining three national masters are not even worth a damn. Just wait and see how I will deal with them."

"Even if the great national master is really here, Master, you can still take action and continue the unfinished Buddhist and Taoist debate at the Water and Land Conference!" Sun Wukong said confidently.

Not long after, an official came galloping over on a fast horse and reported: "The altar is ready. Please invite the state masters to the altar."

Tiger Power bowed and saluted the king, then went downstairs. When he got downstairs, he looked at Sun Wukong and asked, "Are you ready?"

"What are you preparing for?" Sun Wukong asked in a puzzled manner.

"Of course, we go up to the altar to pray for rain." replied the Great Immortal Huli.

Sun Wukong said: "You and I went to the altar together. If we prayed for rain, how would we know whether it was you who prayed for it or me?"

Hu Li Daxian smiled and said, "Then what do you think we should do?"

Sun Wukong suggested, "We have come from afar and have never met you, so it is hard to tell what your character is like. Before we go on stage, let's talk about how to pray for rain. That way, if we can pray for it, it will be considered a match and a real skill."

The Immortal Hu Li did not beat around the bush and said directly: "When you come to the altar, just look at my token for a signal: one signal will bring the wind, two signals will cause clouds to rise, three signals will cause thunder and lightning to roar, four signals will cause rain to come, and five signals will cause the clouds to disperse and the rain to stop. This is also the five-part method of summoning rain."

"Okay! Then it's settled. You go and pray first, and see if you can make it rain this way!" Sun Wukong insisted, and asked the Immortal Huli to go and pray for rain first.

The Great Immortal Hu Li walked up to the altar. On the altar, all the utensils and materials for the ritual were ready. Behind him, there were a few young Taoist priests standing to assist him.

On the Five Phoenix Tower, King Chechi couldn't help but stand up and watch this scene with a bit of emotion in his eyes. "Twenty years have passed in a flash." He murmured to himself, "I still remember that twenty years ago, the Grand Master did just that, praying for rain for our Chechi Kingdom on the altar."

"The person on the stage now has been replaced by the Second State Master." Beside King Chechi, Immortal Luli and Immortal Yangli stroked their beards and smiled, "If Daoist Fellow Mingxuan is required to come to pray for rain again today, it would be a waste of talent."

"Even if we are fighting against the Monkey King Sun Wukong who came from the East, if we let Fellow Daoist Lin Nan take action, all the training we three brothers have done over the years will be in vain." Immortal Luli continued.

King Chechi nodded and said in agreement, "That's true."

Over there, the Great Immortal Huli was already standing on the high platform.

There was a young Taoist priest next to him, holding a few talismans written on yellow paper and a magic sword, and handed them to the Great Immortal Huli.

The great immortal Huli took the sword, chanted a spell, and burned a talisman on the candle.

Two or three Taoists below took an elephant holding a talisman and a document and set them on fire.

Along with these actions, the talismanic label with the words "Thunder Commander" written on it suddenly rang. There was a "ping" sound from the token, and a gentle breeze floated over in the air.

Offstage, Zhu Bajie saw this and shouted in panic, "Oh no! Oh no! This Taoist priest is really capable! The token rang and the wind really blew!"

When Sun Wukong saw this, he immediately realized that the ability of the Great Immortal Huli was not just a bluff.

At that moment, he had no intention of sitting there and waiting to die, so he hurriedly told Zhu Bajie not to talk to him anymore and asked him to take good care of himself.

Then, Sun Wukong plucked out a hair and blew on it. The hair immediately turned into Sun Wukong, standing in his place.

However, Sun Wukong's real body had already moved silently and flew into the air. He saw that the method used by Huli Daxian was a method of inviting gods to perform sacrifices, so when he was in the air, he immediately started looking for him and shouted loudly, "Who is it? Who is controlling the wind here?"

Soon, two figures appeared in the clouds. They were the Wind Granny holding a cloth bag and Xun Jilang holding the rope tied at the mouth of the bag.

Sun Wukong said bluntly: "I was protecting the holy monk of the Tang Dynasty on his way to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures. When I passed by Chechi Country, I made a bet with that evil Taoist priest to pray for rain. Why didn't you help me, Sun, but helped that Taoist priest instead? I will spare you first and stop the wind. If there is a little wind and blows the Taoist priest's beard, I will beat him with twenty iron rods each!"

Sun Wukong spoke as if it was a matter of course, with an overbearing attitude, but he threatened to punish him in the end.

"Greetings, Great Sage. Are you looking for us?" asked Grandma Feng and Xun Erlang, recognizing Sun Wukong's identity.

These words made Feng Po and Xun Erlang a little flustered, and they quickly tied the mouth of the cloth bag tightly.

This cloth bag is the magic weapon of the Wind Department. Once it is opened, a constant supply of wind will blow out.

As the bag was tied up, the wind stopped coming out of the bag. At the same time, the wind lady said, "Don't dare."

Sun Wukong nodded with satisfaction, and instructed them: "When I want the wind, you can release it again."

Just as Sun Wukong finished speaking, Granny Feng said, "Great Sage, it's not that we don't cooperate, but we dare not violate the Heavenly Law!"

"Hmm?" Sun Wukong was slightly stunned, "Why do you say that?"

Xun Erlang said: "We are spreading the news this time because we received the order from the Jade Emperor."

"The Jade Emperor's decree? Just because an alien Taoist prayed for rain, the Jade Emperor personally issued a decree?" Sun Wukong asked doubtfully.

Granny Feng said, "Tell the Great Sage that the Great Immortal Hu Li is not an ordinary person either. He is a disciple of Taoist Master Ming Xuan and has been ordained by Taoist Master Ming Xuan. He is a second-grade immortal and serves as an immortal official on earth. He submitted a document to the heavens and it went straight to the Jade Emperor."

Xun Erlang continued, "Even if the Jade Emperor does not issue an order, the document can be sent directly to the Ministry of Thunder, and we have no choice but to obey."

Then, Granny Feng and Xun Erlang said in unison: "If we don't obey, we will be breaking the law of heaven, which is a serious crime. Even if the Great Sage wants to give us twenty iron rods, we can do nothing about it."

"Hmm?" Although Sun Wukong was arrogant, he was not an unreasonable person.

This time, he saw that Feng Po Po and Xun Erlang's words were firm and not false, so he could only sigh.

On the other side, after Sun Wukong turned around, Wind Granny and Xun Erlang immediately opened the cloth bag and continued to let the wind out.

Below, on the altar, Huli Daxian held the token and burned the rune, and the iron plate rang again. Suddenly, clouds and mist emerged. Seeing this, Sun Wukong shouted directly from the cloud: "Who is spreading clouds and mist?"

With a loud shout, two figures appeared in the clouds. They were Tuiyun Tongzi and Buwu Langjun.

Sun Wukong then told them about his battle with the immortal Huli, and asked them to stop using fog and clouds.

However, Tuiyun Tongzi and Buwu Langjun also said firmly: "It's not that we don't cooperate with the Great Sage, but this is the law and the law, we can't violate it easily."

They also gave Sun Wukong some advice: "If the Great Sage does not want to make his prayer for rain come true, he must go to the Lingxiao Palace and ask for another decree."

After hearing this, Sun Wukong became angry and annoyed.

Sun Wukong was filled with resentment. He, the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, was unable to control the gods in heaven.

What made him even more angry was that it was really unexpected that Hu Wanyinxian had such means.

He thought indignantly: "Is he just relying on the power of the tiger, or is he really relying on the reputation of the great master Lin Nan?"

At this moment, Sun Wukong also saw how powerful Lin Nan's prestige was. Just by granting the talisman to Huli Daxian, Huli Daxian had such great authority that the documents could be directly sent to the heaven.

This made him angry and helpless, and he could only head towards the South Gate of Heaven, intending to enter the Heavenly Palace and try his best to stop all this.

On the ground, under the altar, Zhu Bajie looked up at the sky. As Huli Daxian moved, the wind suddenly rose between heaven and earth, and then clouds and mist filled the sky, blocking his vision. He was extremely anxious and said to himself: "Didn't the eldest brother want to stop it? Why is the wind still so strong and the clouds so dense? I guess the gods in heaven are helping us."

"Could it be that the title of Great Sage Equaling Heaven, Senior Brother, is no longer effective in front of the gods in heaven?" Zhu Bajie became more and more anxious the more he thought about it, but he was helpless.

At this time, Huli Daxian made a new move. He used the Five Thunder Technique, preparing to incite thunder and lightning.

Zhu Bajie was even more anxious, fearing that his senior brother would not be able to stop it in time.

In the sky, Sun Wukong had already arrived at the South Gate of Heaven and was preparing to enter the Heavenly Palace.

However, on the way he happened to meet Deng Tianjun of the Thunder Department leading Lei Gong and Dian Mu coming out of the South Gate of Heaven.

Seeing this, Sun Wukong immediately stepped forward and asked, "Thunder God and Lightning Goddess, Deng Tianjun, what are you going to do?"

Deng Tianjun replied: "We are going to the Chechi Kingdom where thunder and lightning strike."

Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong asked as if it was normal: "Is this another order from the Jade Emperor?"

Deng Tianjun said, "Yes and no. In addition to the Jade Emperor's decree, there is also the order of the Thunder Department. The Taoist from Chechi Country is an immortal official of our Thunder Department. If he wants to strike thunder now, we must obey his orders."

Sun Wukong frowned and asked, "Can we just ignore it?"

Deng Tianjun didn't even say a few polite words and said directly, "Absolutely not. The thunder will definitely fall."

Sun Wukong asked unwillingly: "If the Jade Emperor issues an order, will the thunder also fall?"

Deng Tianjun replied: "Of course, the Jade Emperor's order is for the public, and we must also strike down the thunder for our own benefit."

Sun Wukong was angry, but there was nothing he could do. Deng Tianjun was not polite at all and did not give him any face.

This is also related to Deng Tianjun's duties. He is the Great God of the Fire Law, the Grand Marshal of the Lightning and the Heavenly Realm, the President of the Three Yuans and Eighty-one Days, the General Manager of Thunder, the King of Thunder, and the Taoist God of Guan Jiang. He is also known as the Lord of Ten Thousand Heavenly Thunders, Deng Tianjun. He is very powerful, so naturally he can not give Sun Wukong face.

Sun Wukong watched Deng Tianjun leave with Lei Gong and Dian Mu, feeling extremely helpless. He thought to himself: "Now that he has said that, it will be too late for me to ask the Jade Emperor to stop the thunderbolts, right?" He was angry, but he could do nothing about it.

If it were just the God of Thunder and the Goddess of Lightning, he could still show off his power, but since Deng Tianjun, the Lord of All Thunders, was there, he was helpless.

However, Sun Wukong soon came up with a new idea. He thought, "Although the wind is blowing, the clouds are rising, and the thunder is falling, it has not rained yet. The rain department is controlled by the Dragon King. If I can stop the four sea dragon kings, they will definitely give me some face. Then I can make it impossible for Tiger Power Immortal to pray for rain!"

Thinking of this, Sun Wukong no longer headed towards the South Heaven Gate, but returned to the underworld.

On the way back to Chechi Kingdom, he happened to meet the Four Dragon Kings who came in droves.

Sun Wukong shouted, "Ao Guang! Don't go!" and stopped them.

The four sea dragon kings Ao Guang, Ao Shun, Ao Qin and Ao Run all stopped and saluted Sun Wukong. They asked, "Great Sage, why don't you support the holy monk to go to the West to obtain the scriptures? Why do you stop us here?"

Sun Wukong then told the whole story of the bet he had made with Huli Daxian. He said earnestly, "I have been working hard for you all in the past, but I have not succeeded. I hope you can give me some help today."

Then, Sun Wukong said, "I rarely need help from others. I hope the Dragon Kings can give me some face."

Although his tone was sincere when he said this, the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas felt somewhat disapproving in their hearts.

After all, ever since Sun Wukong went on the journey to obtain Buddhist scriptures, he has sought help from many gods in heaven. Even the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas had helped him in the Fire Cloud Cave not long ago.

For them, being troubled by Sun Wukong has become a common thing.

Of course, Sun Wukong also knew that he seldom asked for help from others, so saying these words at this time was a rare moment of letting go of his attitude.

Sun Wukong's eyes were as bright as torches as he stared at the Four Dragon Kings in front of him, his eyes revealing an unquestionable determination.

Among the four Dragon Kings, Ao Guang, the Dragon King of the East China Sea, was the leader. Upon seeing this, he couldn't help but sigh, his voice full of helplessness and bitterness.

He slowly said, "Great Sage, it's not that we don't want to cooperate with you, it's just that we are forced by the situation and it's hard to disobey."

Ao Guang continued, his tone revealing an indescribable heaviness: "This rainfall is really a matter of destiny. As dragon kings, although we are in charge of a body of water, we cannot act arbitrarily. The great immortal Hu Li has a prominent position in the Taoist court of Chechi Kingdom, and his rank is astonishingly high. Once he has spoken, it is impossible to go back on his word. We, the dragon kings of the four seas, have no choice but to obey."

Having said that, Ao Guang couldn't help but sigh again, and that sigh was full of helplessness and sadness.

He continued, "Great Sage, you also know that the decree of the Dao Court is like an iron law. Once it is issued, we have no choice. If we disobey the order of the Great Immortal Huli and do not make rain according to his request, we, the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas, will probably be severely punished by the Dao Court. That kind of consequence is something that none of us can bear."

The other three Dragon Kings also nodded, expressing their agreement with Ao Guang's statement. They all looked embarrassed and sighed, obviously also troubled by this matter.

As Sun Wukong listened to their stories, he couldn't help but feel a surge of anger in his heart.

He was annoyed that the Tiger Power Immortal was so overbearing that he dared to force even the Four Seas Dragon Kings; at the same time, he also felt somewhat helpless, after all, this involved the laws of heaven and the authority of the Dao Court, and it was not something he could easily change alone.
