Journey to the West, one of the fist saints

Chapter 198 Fengxian County

Du Pont, the undead mage who had been watching in front of the crystal ball, was very surprised. Even he didn't expect Jiang Yihao to throw Wu Luojin directly into the cliff.

A group of skeletons in the field were stunned by his unexpected operation, because they really didn't understand why Jiang No. [-] threw away this opportunity to escape from the mine.

"Is he going to be a miner all his life?"

"Did he have something wrong with his soul fire and threw Wu Luojin into the abyss!"

"Hey, why don't you just give it to me if you don't want it? That's Wuluojin! Why waste it?"

……

Jiang No. 118 ignored the comments of the skeletons, skipped the muddy ground, and returned to the No. [-] mine along the original road.

Seeing Jiang Yihao's return, Gerald shook his head, thinking that the Wuluojin had been snatched away by others, but he didn't know that the Wuluojin had been thrown into the abyss by him.

Jiang Yihao went to the depths of the mine, found a convenient place to start practicing cross-legged, and the aura on his body was faintly visible, showing signs of a breakthrough.

……

Wild world.

Everyone gradually approached Tianzhu and came to Fengxian County, the outer county of Tianzhu.

There has been drought here for years, and the grain has not been harvested. The farmers' food reserves are already in a hurry, and some people are fleeing to other places on the road.

Only a small part of them fled abroad, and most of them were old farmers who had inexplicable feelings for the land. If they were not really at a dead end, they would never leave their farms.

The sand was flying on the ground, people's lips were chapped, and their eyes were a little hollow. They looked at the sky from time to time, and their expressions revealed their desire for rain.

When Xuanzang saw this place, he immediately thought of what the Marquis of Fengxian County did. It was only because the Jade Emperor, whose spirit and soul floated in the three realms, had conflicted, sent the overthrown offerings of fast food to dogs to eat, so that so many people suffered together. .

"Even if the Marquis of the county did it, it shouldn't have caused countless people in Fengxian County to suffer together. This kind of punishment is too much!"

Thinking so in Xuanzang's mind, the carriage went directly to the gate of the county city, and from a distance he saw two servants posting notices.

Sweeping there with his spiritual sense, he realized that it was a Taoist monk who was summoning to pray for rain.

"Wukong, you go and take down the announcement, and our master and apprentice will pray for them a timely rain!" Xuanzang pointed to the announcement and said to Monkey King.

"Good master!"

Sun Wukong got out of the car directly, squeezed through the crowd, and removed the notice that had just been posted not long ago.

"Someone revealed the list!"

The onlookers immediately shouted loudly, and the two guards who were about to leave after posting the notice hurriedly walked back after hearing the sound.

"May I ask this elder, do you really know how to pray for rain?" One of the guards asked respectfully.

Sun Wukong nodded and said with a smile: "Praying for rain is a piece of cake for my old grandson, and the old Dragon King is still my neighbor!"

The onlookers were surprised, and the attitude of the two guards became more respectful.

"I also invite this elder to go back to the Sheriff's Mansion with us to discuss the matter of praying for rain!"

"Okay, but my old grandson's master has not come down from the carriage yet, so I ask two strong men to open the city gate and let us go to the county guard's mansion together!"

"Sure, we'll let someone open the front door right away!"

"I'm tired!"

The two guards went to talk to the soldiers guarding the gate, and the main gate of Fengxian county opened slowly.

The white dragon horse pulled the caravan into the city of Fengxian County, and the passers-by on the road pointed at this strange carriage.

"What kind of carriage is this? It's so huge! That white horse is too pitiful, it needs to pull such a big carriage forward!"

"Could it be possible to walk with a horse on your shoulders?"

"It's meaningless for you to talk like that!"

"Hehe, who is that boring? Isn't horses just for riding or pulling carts?"

"You don't have a heart of compassion, haven't you heard that all living beings are equal?"

"Then why don't you let your dog go to bed, and tie yourself to a rope to guard the door?"

"Are you looking for faults, do you deserve a beating?"

"Two brothers calm down, now the weather is dry and things are dry, easy to get angry, peace is the most important thing!"

"They should be foreigners! Looking at the direction, they are going to the Sheriff's Mansion. I hope they will be a capable person who can ask for rainwater!"

"That's right, if it doesn't rain in Fengxian County, the people will leave their homes!"

……

After walking along the main road for a cup of tea, the Sheriff's Mansion appeared in front of it. It was a high-walled compound, and two huge blue-faced stone lions squatted in front of the gate.

After the guard went in to report, an old man in official uniform walked out quickly, looking very eager.

After leaving the gate of the mansion, I saw a strange carriage, and asked, "Where is the elder who begged for rain?"

After hearing the question, Xuanzang and others got out of the carriage.

Monkey King also stepped forward and replied: "I am the one who will ask for rain!"

"So there are so many elders, please come in quickly! The magistrate is waiting for you inside!" The official bowed and asked.

Xuanzang followed the officer into the Sheriff's Mansion. The courtyard inside was clean and tidy, but there was no sense of grandeur. In some places, the paint had even started to peel off due to age, exposing the rotten wood inside.

Some bamboos were planted on both sides of the main hall, and a middle-aged man with a long beard and a worried face stood at the door. He was looking towards the gate of the courtyard, with the righteousness of a scholar in his brows.

Seeing Xuanzang and the others, he quickly stepped forward to salute and said: "I have met some elders, and I am the Marquis of Fengxian County. If you dare to ask a few elders, they know how to pray for rain?"

"Amitabha, the poor monk is a monk from the Eastern Tang Dynasty who came to the Western Heaven to worship the Buddha and seek scriptures. My great apprentice knows how to pray for rain!" Xuanzang said slowly after performing a Buddhist salute.

"The few masters invited before have all failed, and the people of Fengxian County will not survive if this continues! I beg you to save the people..."

The county marquis was talking, but he couldn't help but burst into tears, crying bitterly. It seemed that he had been under a lot of pressure these days.

"Don't get excited, benefactor, my great apprentice will surely be able to ask for rainwater for you!" Xuanzang stepped forward to pull the magistrate to his feet, and comforted him.

This county marquis is also a good official who loves the people like his own son. If he didn't have a "good wife" at home, things would not have developed to this point.

However, at this time there is also some relationship with Xuanzang, and the incident here may also be planned by the heavenly court to get a share of the pie.

After all, the merits and virtues of spreading Buddhism to the East are like a huge cake, and everyone wants to share a piece of it.

"You damn enemy, why did you recruit some fake mages to our house? Didn't you get cheated enough last time?"

A yin and yang female voice came from the backyard, and then a well-built woman walked out of the backyard, her dress was in stark contrast to the poverty of the county marquis.

He wears an agate hairpin on his head, wears gold and silver, and has four or five rings on his hands alone.

This woman was the first wife of the Marquis, Yang Lishi. She had a big black mole on her face, and she showed no pretense towards Xuanzang and the others, with an expression of disgust directly on her face.

When the county marquis saw this woman, his face was full of bitterness, he wiped away his tears, and hurriedly came up to apologize and said with a smile: "Ma'am, this is a holy monk from the Tang Dynasty, and he said that he will definitely be able to ask for rainwater!"

"Hmph, you are easy to be deceived, you coward. The last time you were tricked by those lamas was not miserable enough. Don't even think about getting a penny from me in the future. The gold and silver you lent my father before will be returned at the end of the year !" Mrs. Yang and Li said a few words coldly and left with a flick of her sleeves, without giving the county magistrate any face.

"I'm sorry, I don't know how to be polite, I made the elders laugh at me!" Although the county marquis felt very uncomfortable, he still put on a smile for the sake of the people.

Xuanzang shook his head slightly, recalling the principles of artificial rainfall that he saw in his previous life.

At this time, Tianting doesn't let the rain master to rain in Fengxian County, so it should be fine to make artificial rain yourself, right?
