Chapter 280: On the Way West
Soon the Dragon King of the Four Seas was summoned to the Lingxiao Treasure Hall and looked at the book, and the Dragon King of the Four Seas came below, and the Jade Emperor said, "The four of you may be raining in Fengxian County. ”
"Yes, but without His Majesty's will, I don't dare to rain indiscriminately. Ao Guang said.
The Jade Emperor said, "I have decreed that the sky will not dare to rain, why do you make it rain?"
"We are the Dragon King, we control the water of the four seas, and we can carry some rain from the four seas at will, not the rain of Fengxian County, but the rain from other places, why can't it rain?" Ao Guang said.
"Oh, I know, you remember, wait for Sun Wukong to go down to you, don't give him rain, don't sneeze a sneeze, otherwise you will look good. The Jade Emperor said.
"Yes, we will obey. The Dragon King of the Four Seas retreated, and the Jade Emperor stroked his beard and laughed proudly, "Hahahaha." ”
Sun Wukong went to heaven in vain and told Tang Ying what he had encountered in the sky, and Tang Ying listened to it and went to ask the king of Fengxian County.
"Your Majesty, the Jade Emperor said that you destroyed the sacrifices when you sacrificed to heaven and earth, and insulted heaven and earth, I don't know if there is such a thing?" Tang Ying asked.
"This ......," the King of Fengxian County sighed, and then said, "It's all to blame on my unsuccessful son." ”
Then the king of Fengxian County told that he had a son, who was arrogant and domineering since he was a child, very arrogant, and when he grew up, he was not doing well, and quietly slept with the eighth aunt of the king of Fengxian County.
When the king of Fengxian County found out, he was furious, and he was about to go to worship heaven and earth that day, and before leaving, he reprimanded this son, saying that the throne of the king should be passed on to the daughter of the prime minister of the court rather than to him.
This annoyed this arrogant and domineering son, he entangled a group of Jianghu people, sneaked to the side of the altar, and then rushed up, beat away the priest, smashed the altar, and insulted heaven and earth.
Then they returned home, and later the matter was revealed, and the king of Fengxian County did not really punish him when he thought that the other party was his only son, but locked him in the cold palace and thought about it, this pass was three years, and in these three years, not a drop of rain fell in Fengxian County.
Thirst has long become the norm, Fengxian County is now extremely short of water, the people want to escape, but they are afraid of losing power, the king forbids them to escape, and those who are found will be arrested and beheaded.
Now the entire Fengxian County is like a purgatory.
"Hmph, it's just that I knocked over the altar, and the Jade Emperor actually punished him like this, it's really hateful, I'm going to go to the East King of the East China Sea to help you get a timely rain." After Sun Wukong finished speaking, he turned around and left, Tang Ying watched Sun Wukong leave, and said to the six-eared macaque, "Black Wukong, you go and see the king's son, it is best to let him take the initiative to confess his guilt and bring it to the Jade Emperor, so that the Jade Emperor will have no reason to hurt these people. ”
"Okay, Master, I'll go. Black Wukong teleported away and appeared in the cold palace, in the cold palace of Nuoda, a man with a disheveled head, wearing a gray clothes, his clothes were torn in many places, and it seemed that he was not doing well.
"You are the king's son?" said the six-eared macaque.
"Who are you, what are you going to do?" the man stepped back in horror, "don't be afraid," said the six-eared macaque, "I am here to help you, as long as you go with me to heaven and confess your mistake to the Emperor, I will guarantee your freedom." ”
"Heavenly, are you kidding? You're not a god?" said the man.
"How do you know I'm not a fairy?" said the six-eared macaque.
"It's just impossible anyway. The man said.
"Look at it" The six-eared macaque shook its body, and then turned into the appearance of Sun Wukong, took out a golden hoop stick, directly turned into a big iron pillar, and slammed it on the ground, saying, "Let's see if it's a fairy!" Then a finger lifted tens of thousands of catties of golden hoop sticks, hehe smiled.
The man's mouth opened wide in surprise and shouted, "Immortals, what immortals, please save me." ”
"Hehe, then you will go up to heaven with me to confess your mistake to the Emperor of Heaven, do you want to go?" said the six-eared macaque
。
"Go," the man said.
The six-eared macaque grabbed the man's shoulder, and then with a stroke of mana, he flew away with the man, directly hitting a hole in the roof of the main hall, and walked through the door?
All the way to the sky, looking at the beautiful scenery of the heavenly court, there is pure gold everywhere, as if gold is very common, the heavenly court is full of fairy palaces, every immortal has a mansion These immortals hire mortal women to be their maids, and those women also have some mana, whether it is appearance or age, they are different from ordinary mortals.
walked all the way, but I looked at the man's eyes, until I walked to the Lingxiao Treasure Hall and saw the emperor sitting high in the Lingxiao Treasure Hall, with a majestic face, and the momentum on his body far beyond that of ordinary people, I realized that I really saw the Emperor of Heaven.
"Six-eared macaque, what are you doing here?" said the Jade Emperor.
The Jade Emperor penetrates the heavens and the earth, and nothing between the heavens and the earth can hide from him.
The Jade Emperor knew at a glance that the person in front of him was a six-eared macaque and not Sun Wukong.
"Jade Emperor Lao'er, you put Fengxian County to death, isn't it because this guy destroyed the sacrifice? No, I brought people to you, you have the final say on what to do with it!"
The Jade Emperor looked at the man indifferently, the man felt a little bad in his heart, and said, "Sun Wukong, you said that it would be good to just apologize, why did you lie to me?"
"Hehe, lie to you, let me tell you, I'm not Sun Wukong at all, I'm a six-eared macaque. The six-eared macaque sneered, then looked at the Jade Emperor.
"Li Si, since you smashed the altar and offended heaven and earth, then you should really be punished, and I will punish you for scattering your soul, never being reborn, not being reincarnated, and disappearing into ashes, are you willing?"
"I, I don't want to, can I change the punishment?" the man said.
"Another one?" the Jade Emperor stroked his beard, and then said, "Then I will punish you to be reincarnated as a beast, and you will die a tragic death in every life, and in the end, your soul will be scattered and you will not enter reincarnation, can you?"
"It's not as good as the previous one!" said the man.
"Hugh should make noise, pull it out left and right, beat it into the animal path, record it, a hundred beasts, not die well, and then the soul is scattered. ”
The man was dragged away, scolding all the way, crying and calling his mother, the Jade Emperor didn't bother to pay attention, such a person, such a punishment, it is considered light, otherwise it is the most cruel to send him to purgatory, and he will never be able to leave.
The man was dragged away, and the six-eared macaque said, "Jade Emperor Lao'er, now that the first evil has been punished, can you make another will to avoid the disaster in Fengxian County?"
"No, the so-called merit is made up, now that Fengxian County has no merit, how can the punishment be directly revoked, Fengxian County must do something that merits to heaven and earth. ”
While thinking about how to make a contribution to heaven and earth, the six-eared macaque flew back to the ground and returned to Fengxian County.
"The Jade Emperor punished him for entering the beast path, and then said that he must be meritorious to heaven and earth in order for Fengxian County to revoke the punishment, master, do you know how to make meritorious service to heaven and earth?"
"It's difficult" Tang Ying couldn't help sighing, future generations can plant trees, save energy and reduce emissions, but in ancient times, the ancients could only continue to ask for nature, and would not do anything that contributed to heaven and earth.
After thinking about it for a long time, he still had no clue, Tang Ying decisively handed over the problem to the king of Fengxian County himself and asked him to solve it by himself.
When the king of Fengxian County heard this question, he couldn't help but fall into a tangle, the son who had done something wrong had now accepted the punishment and fallen into the beast path, but the mistakes he had made could not be made up, and the Jade Emperor said that it must be meritorious to be lifted, so the emperor remembered the three things that the Jade Emperor said before.
"It may not be impossible," thought the king.
Thinking of this, he decided to implement the new rules.
"All those who dare to kill people will definitely exterminate the Nine Clans!" The first stipulation is so, and there are many new regulations in the following year, the purpose of which is to complete the three things that the Jade Emperor ordered.
Day by day, a year later, Fengxian County was already about to die, the king ran to Tang Ying with tears, knelt down on his knees and shouted, "Mage, I finally did it!"
"Did it?" Tang Ying stood up, this king was also very powerful, and he really did the three things that the Jade Emperor requested.
Just when Sun Wukong was preparing to go to heaven again (of course, asking the Dragon King of the Four Seas before was a failure.) )
Suddenly, dark clouds began to appear between heaven and earth, and then it began to rain.
"Brother Monkey, it's not raining, right? Zhu Bajie asked.
"I don't, what about you?" said Sun Wukong.
"I don't either, you know I can't get out!" Zhu Bajie said cutely.
Sun Wukong smiled and looked at the rain, not knowing if this was a success in asking for rain.
Soon the rain ended, and the king was not paid, after all, he did it himself.
The king sent Tang Ying and his entourage to the outside of the palace, gave a hundred taels of gold and said, "Although the mage did not help me, he showed me the way forward. ”
"Hmm" Tang Ying accepted the one hundred taels of gold, and then left with the group.
After the group left, walking on the road, Tang Ying sighed and said, "Alas, I really didn't expect that there are still things in this world that we can't do!"
Sun Wukong said, "Master, there are many things that you can't think of in this world. ”
The six-eared macaque said, "Master, there are many things that cannot be done in this world. ”
After walking for half a year, he came to a place called the Sai Country, there is a Jinguang Temple in this Sai Country, Tang Ying saw this Jinguang Temple from a distance, on the top of the Jinguang Temple, there is a pearl, although it is dark at night, but the pearl is shining.
This is not the same as the modern light bulb, you must know that in this era, it is pitch black everywhere at night, only this Jinguang Temple has a light bulb, which shows how precious this light bulb is.
Tang Ying and his entourage arrived at Jinguang Temple, and then Tang Ying was ready to rest, and Sun Wukong said, "Master, there is a demonic spirit." ”
"Where?" Tang Ying asked.
"Big Wild Goose Pagoda," Sun Wukong said.
"Go and have a look," Tang Ying said.
Sun Wukong jumped up, used the teleportation method, and the next moment he came to the top of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, and saw the two monsters in front of him, who were drinking, and were about to steal the orb while talking.
Sun Wukong smiled, did not block it, but quietly followed.
Following these two monsters, they actually went to the beach and the two monsters jumped into the South China Sea, and then went all the way to a sea mansion and dedicated the orb to a monster that Sun Wukong knew, the nine-headed insect.
It is said that this nine-headed insect is the one who killed the little white dragon and was imprisoned, Sun Wukong silently remembered the route, and then left.
"Master, the nine-headed worm stole the orb. Sun Wukong said.
"What are you going to do?" Tang Ying asked.
"Demon and evil people, there is no place for him in the world, I will go to tell the Jade Emperor and arrest him to the prison. ”
Sun Wukong came to the Heavenly Palace, met the Jade Emperor, and asked the Jade Emperor to send troops to accompany him to the lower realm to arrest people.
Sure enough, the Jade Emperor was willing to send people, and the heavenly soldiers and generals followed Sun Wukong to capture the nine-headed insect This nine-headed insect is a dragon, and the mana is very strong, but in front of Sun Wukong, it is a dragon who has to lie on his stomach, Sun Wukong easily defeated the nine-headed insect, pressed him to the ground with a golden hoop stick, and a group of heavenly soldiers and generals next to him swarmed up and tied him into a zongzi with a rope of immortals.
"Take it away," Sun Wukong said with the orb.
"This thing is evidence of a crime, and it needs to be brought to Heaven together!" said the day soldier.
"Hey" Sun Wukong smiled and said, "This is the treasure of Jinguang Temple, you can't borrow it, it's better to return it as soon as possible." ”
Seeing that Sun Wukong didn't give it, the heavenly soldiers didn't dare to force it, so they left.
Watching the heavenly soldiers leave, Sun Wukong also returned to his residence, holding the orb in his hand and wrapping it in cloth, because it was too bright, he didn't dare to show it easily.
Tang Ying saw that Sun Wukong had really retrieved the orb, and said, "Wukong, you use monkey hair to make a fake one for them, as for the real one, let's keep it, so as not to steal this treasure by others." ”
Sun Wukong said, "Okay"
Sun Wukong really used monkey hair to turn a jewel into a jewel and gave it to the king, and the king was very happy and decided to reward Tang Ying with a knighthood, Tang Ying of course refused, she had no plans to return here in the future.
This orb was finally handed over to Tang Ying for safekeeping, because such a thing was useless to Sun Wukong at all.
Sun Wukong and Tang Ying and their entourage continued to travel west.
Then, when they came to the Thorn Ridge, an old man appeared and said, "Fellow mages, would you like to go to the mountains with us and talk about the Tao?"
Tang Ying shook his head, "Everyone has their own way, what is there to talk about?"
Sun Wukong said, "It's all demons, watch and fight." ”
The old man hurriedly turned the wind away, and there was another gust of black wind, wanting to sweep Tang Ying away, but found that Tang Ying was a Da Luo Jin Immortal, Tang Ying flicked his fingers casually, and the black smoke couldn't help dissipating, revealing the person inside, who was a peach blossom essence and a female goblin.
"Master Tang, you've scared me. The leprechaun said.
"Girl, please respect yourself. Tang Ying said.
"Is the Dharma really unwilling to discuss the Tao with us? Now that the Tao is in decline, there are many people who seek the Buddha, and there are few people who seek the Tao, if the Master can abandon the Buddha and follow the Tao, he will definitely do a great thing. ”
Tang Ying shook his head and said, "Since I have decided to seek Buddha, wouldn't it be a joke to convert to the Taoist. ”
"Alas," the goblin sighed to the doctor, and then turned to leave.
Tang Ying looked at her back, and didn't have nostalgia, what is there to talk about with this group of goblins, they are a few catties and taels Tang Ying knows very well.
Then continued to travel west, on this day Zhu Bajie suddenly inquired, and then said, "Master, we have arrived at Leiyin Temple." ”
