Chapter 397 Asking for Rain
"Why are you so flustered?" Lin Nan opened his eyes from his practice and asked calmly.
The six-eared macaque scratched his head, with a bit of anger on his face: "Master, do you know that Li Chunfeng has returned to the Tang Dynasty in the East a few days ago, and he also took away many of our Chechi Kingdom's sacred objects!"
"Oh? What did he take away?" Lin Nan frowned slightly, with an ominous premonition in his heart.
"He took away our Daoshu, Daomi and other sacred objects, and renamed them Tangshu and Tangmi!" The six-eared macaque became more and more angry as he spoke, clenching his fists. "What's even more hateful is that he attributed the origin of those sacred objects to the civil and military achievements of Emperor Tang Li Shimin, saying that they were blessings bestowed by God!"
"This..." Lin Nan couldn't help but feel angry when he heard this. But he quickly regained his composure, knowing that being impulsive at this moment would be useless.
"Master, what do you say about me going to the Tang Dynasty? I want to teach that ignorant emperor a lesson, and let him know that there are some things that cannot be done, and some reputations that cannot be taken!" The six-eared macaque became more and more excited, with sparks of anger flashing in his eyes.
However, Lin Nan was not affected by his emotions. He shook his head gently and said soothingly, "It's okay, let him do what he wants. Even if he does this, it will be a good thing if those crops can be promoted and benefit thousands of families."
"But Master..." Liu'er Mihou wanted to argue, but was interrupted by Lin Nan's wave of his hand.
"Besides..." Lin Nan smiled slightly, with a deep light flashing in his eyes, "The greater the actions of the Tang Dynasty, the greater the changes. Maybe it won't be long before the Tang Dynasty will become a completely new look."
Hearing this, Liu Er Mihou scratched his head, looking confused. Although he had the ability to listen to the world, he could not predict why the Tang Dynasty would change.
Lin Nan saw his confusion and explained, "At present, the 'seeds' I have released through reincarnation are still ordinary people, and most of them are even young. In this case, the immortals and Buddhas will naturally not notice them. But as time goes by, these 'seeds' will gradually grow and may cause unexpected changes."
Liu Er Mihou nodded, not quite understanding. Although he was still a little worried, he believed in Lin Nan's words. He knew Lin Nan's wisdom and foresight very well. Since Lin Nan had already made a plan, he didn't need to worry too much.
However, what Liu Er Mihou didn't know was that Lin Nan had much more in mind. The reason why he was so looking forward to the changes in Datang was because he knew that the changes in this era would bring him unprecedented opportunities and challenges.
At this moment, Lin Nan suddenly stood up and looked into the distance: "A few days ago, I received news from Tianzhu that the current Tianzhu princess invited me to visit her. It seems that it is time for me to go out for a walk."
Hearing this, the six-eared macaque was stunned: "Master, are you really going to Tianzhu? Not far to the west is the Great Leiyin Temple on Lingshan Mountain in the West Heaven. If you go there, what will you do if those bald men in the Buddhist sect target you?"
Lin Nan smiled slightly, with a hint of confidence in his eyes: "No problem. Even if I go to Tianzhu, no one will dare to pick a fight with me. Although the Buddha and Bodhisattva in the Western Heaven are powerful, they will not easily attack me. After all, I am still the master of this world, and they always have to be cautious in their actions."
As he spoke, Lin Nan patted Liu'er Mihou on the shoulder and said, "Besides, it's not that you can't go with me. It's a good opportunity for you to gain some experience and knowledge on the way."
When the six-eared macaque heard this, he was overjoyed: "Yes, Master! I am willing to go with you!"
Then, a jade dragon rose up with the wind, Lin Nan sat on it, and the six-eared macaque jumped in front of the dragon. The two men and one monkey headed towards the western country of India.
At this time, in the distant Fengxian County, Sun Wukong and Tang Sanzang had just arrived. They didn't know that Lin Nan had already brought the six-eared macaque from the sky, directly surpassing their progress and heading towards Tianzhu.
"Big Brother, what are you looking at?" Zhu Bajie looked up in the direction Sun Wukong was looking, but saw nothing.
"Nothing. It seemed like some immortal god passed by on a dragon, but the speed was too fast, so I couldn't see clearly who it was." Sun Wukong shook his head, but he had some vague guesses in his mind.
"A fairy god riding a dragon? Could it be the great master Che Chi, the Taoist master Lin Nan?" This name suddenly popped up in Zhu Bajie's mind.
However, Sun Wukong shook his head and said, "That immortal is heading west. If it is Taoist Lin Nan, why would he go west? Can he go to Lingshan?" As he spoke, Sun Wukong thought this was impossible.
"That's right." Zhu Bajie nodded, also thinking it was unlikely. So, they put this question aside for the time being and began to study the issue of Fengxian County.
Fengxian County was in drought and had not rained for a long time. The people were living in misery. Seeing this, Sun Wukong could not help but feel pity. He took down the original rain-seeking notice and decided to make it rain for Fengxian County.
"That Taoist master Lin Nan became the national teacher because of praying for rain. Today, I, Sun Wukong, am here in Fengxian County to pray for rain as well." Sun Wukong said with a smile, his eyes gleaming with confidence.
However, Zhu Bajie grumbled, "When we were in Chechi Kingdom, you competed with the second Chechi Kingdom Master, Huli Daxian, in praying for rain, but you didn't win, right? You shouldn't have announced the winner so quickly."
Sun Wukong was a little angry when he heard this. But what Zhu Bajie said was true. He did not win the rain-making contest with Huli Daxian in Chechi Kingdom. However, Sun Wukong also had his own explanation.
"Back then, when I was in Chechi Country, I competed with the immortal Huli in praying for rain. Although I didn't win, there was a reason for it." Sun Wukong scratched his head and explained helplessly, "After all, it can't rain twice in one place. At that time, the immortal Huli had already prayed for rain from the Heavenly Palace. If I prayed again, the Heavenly Palace would naturally not agree. Otherwise, wouldn't Chechi Country become a vast ocean?"
Sun Wukong seemed to have found a reason and said confidently: "There is no talented person like Master Che Chi in Fengxian County now. If I pray for rain again, I will be able to get it easily." "Master, don't worry, just look at my methods!" Sun Wukong patted his chest, full of confidence.
Not long after, the four masters and apprentices met the Marquis of Fengxian County. The Marquis entertained them warmly, and then Tang Seng asked with concern: "Mr. Marquis, how long has the drought in your area lasted?"
The county marquis sighed and said solemnly: "My place is Fengxian County in Tianzhu Kingdom. As a county marquis, I am in charge of an area. There has been a severe drought here for three consecutive years. The crops have failed and the people are living in poverty. Business is difficult to maintain. Nine out of ten households are crying. Two-thirds of the people have starved to death, and the rest are like candles in the wind, shaky and about to fall. I posted a notice to seek talents, and fortunately a true monk came to our country. If you can give us a rain and save the people from the water and fire, I am willing to reward you with a thousand gold coins!"
Sun Wukong heard this and agreed with a smile, promising to bring a heavy rain to Fengxian County. The county lord was naturally grateful and looked forward to Sun Wukong's magical powers.
Sun Wukong was indeed extraordinary, and had his own magical powers. He was seen muttering something, stepping on the magic circle, and calling the Dragon King. Not long after, a dark cloud floated in the east and slowly fell in front of their hall. The dark cloud dissipated, revealing a figure, who was Ao Guang, the Dragon King of the East China Sea.
"Great Sage, what is it that you call the little dragon to discuss?" the Dragon King of the East Sea asked respectfully.
Sun Wukong said: "It's nothing big that you've come all this way. It's just that Fengxian County has been suffering from drought for years. Why don't you come and bring rain?"
There was a hint of blame in Sun Wukong's words. Unexpectedly, Ao Guang, the Dragon King of the East China Sea, had a bitter look on his face. He waved his hands and said, "Great Sage, you don't know that rain is all decided by the will of heaven. One drop more or one drop less is a serious sin. If there is a will from heaven, the little dragon will not dare to neglect it and will definitely rain. But in Fengxian County, there has been no will from heaven for many years."
When Sun Wukong heard this, he felt that this was both reasonable and unreasonable. He frowned and asked, "Then why was it that when I met the Tiger Power Immortal in Chechi Kingdom, he just issued a few orders and it immediately rained heavily?"
Sun Wukong raised this question, and the East Sea Dragon King's face changed slightly. He was a little embarrassed, but he had to explain: "Reporting to the Great Sage, the Huli Great Immortal from Chechi has entered the Taoist Court, and his name is on the scroll, which is equivalent to the status of an immortal official. He also has the luck of humanity to drive him, so when he gives an order, the five departments of wind, cloud, thunder, lightning and fog will naturally move. Although the name of the Great Sage is known to everyone, the Great Sage is not a person from the Taoist Court after all, and he does not have an official status. This is the difference between the Great Sage and the Chechi National Master. So if Xiaolong makes it rain for the Great Sage, he will violate the Heavenly Law."
"Humph!" Although Sun Wukong was unwilling, he could only humph and accept this explanation. "This Taoist disciple has privileges. I just didn't learn the Three Pure Ones Dharma back then, otherwise I would be much more impressive than that Che Chi National Master." Sun Wukong said this, but he also let Ao Guang go and let him return to the East China Sea.
Sun Wukong jumped out of the fighting bowl, turned around and informed Tang Sanzang, "Master, there is no rain in Fengxian County. It seems that there is another reason and it is related to the Jade Emperor. I will go to the heaven to find out the truth." Then he asked Zhu Bajie and Sha Seng to take good care of Tang Sanzang, and then left.
Sun Wukong rode his somersault cloud all the way up into the sky, and entered the Heaven Palace from the West Heaven Gate. They were traveling westwards, and were currently closest to the West Heaven Gate, so they did not need to go through the South Heaven Gate.
After reaching the Heavenly Palace, Sun Wukong did not meet the Jade Emperor, but first met the Heavenly King who protects the country at the West Heaven Gate. He then asked the Heavenly King about the Fengxian County.
After hearing this, the Heavenly King of the Nation told Sun Wukong the whole story. It turned out that there was an offering in Fengxian County that year, and the Jade Emperor wanted to enjoy it in his spirit, but Fengxian County pushed the vegetarian offering to the sky and fed it to the dogs, and also spoke foul words, which offended the Jade Emperor.
Sun Wukong was shocked when he heard this, and he dared not plead for Fengxian County anymore. But the drought and rain in Fengxian County could not be ignored.
After leaving Lingxiao Palace, Sun Wukong met Zhang Daoling, the Grand Master of Tianshi Mansion, and could not help but ask, "Grand Master, Lin Nan in the lower world is your descendant. He can make the heaven and earth rain at will. Can you also make it rain for Fengxian County and save the people there?"
Zhang Daoling, the founder of the Heavenly Master, smiled and replied to Sun Wukong: "Lin Nan can pray for rain because he is in the human world, and he can naturally move the will of heaven by issuing an edict with the power of humanity. But now I am already a heavenly official, working in the Heavenly Master's Mansion, and I lack the power to run the Taoist court. So if you want rain, it is not feasible to pray to me."
Sun Wukong suddenly felt distressed: "What should I do?"
Zhang Daoling smiled slightly and suggested an idea: "Since Taoism can make it rain, then you can go to Fengxian County and ask them to set up a Taoist temple and perform a ritual. Then, with the help of the power of Buddhism and the power of humanity, you can call for rain for three days. By then, the Jade Emperor will naturally not stop not allowing rain."
Zhang Daoling had come up with an idea, but Sun Wukong was in a dilemma. "Master Sun can do the chanting. But if we want to issue an imperial decree to perform a ritual, we need a Taoist priest. And there is no Taoist priest in Fengxian County."
Zhang Daoling said again: "If that's the case, then let's find a Taoist to take the lead."
Sun Wukong left after receiving the advice, but he was still thinking about where he should go to find a Taoist priest who could hear everything. "Do I have to go back to Chechi to ask for a Taoist priest?"
While Sun Wukong was having trouble praying for rain in Fengxian County, Lin Nan was heading to Tianzhu in the west. Tianzhu was known as the Buddhist country on earth, which was exactly the opposite of Chechi today. Because Tianzhu was under the Western Heaven, in front of Leiyin Temple.
Lin Nan rode the dragon and before reaching Tianzhu, he saw a mountain below, which looked like a tiger's mouth, and there was some evil spirit inside. "There is some evil spirit in this mountain, there is a demon in it." The six-eared macaque took the initiative to show off, "There is a yellow lion demon inside, but it has no evil deeds. It is honest and may be able to be our Chechi protector."
The six-eared macaque spoke suddenly because he had found out the details of the Yellow Lion Demon.
"In that case, let's go down and take a look." Unexpectedly, Lin Nan said this directly. Lin Nan was not unfamiliar with the yellow lion monster below.
If the three demons in Che Chi are the most innocent on the entire journey to the West, then the Yellow Lion Demon can be said to be the most innocent demon on the way. In his cave, the little demons had no clothes to wear, so they had to stingily take out a few taels of silver from the cave and go to the human city to buy a few cotton clothes. Even later, when Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie turned into ordinary people and came to ask for money, he was polite.
However, it was because of greed that he stole Zhu Bajie's weapon, and he died in vain, and also implicated several of his other brothers. The greed that arose at that time was also caused by the fact that he was in the depths of the great calamity and was blinded by the calamity. To Lin Nan, such a goblin was considered a good goblin and was worth saving. After all, if Lin Nan wanted to save it, it would just be a matter of convenience. (End of this chapter)
