Yuhua Kingdom, the hot weather illuminated the earth and burned up, Tang Seng and the four entered the city, only to see that the street was empty, few people were seen, and occasionally one or two were also bald and wasted, without any vitality.

"Stop!"

Suddenly, out of nowhere, a man who looked like an official rushed out of nowhere and blocked the way of the four of them.

"Amitabha, I wonder what this benefactor has to say?" Tang Seng walked up and made a Buddha name.

"I'm an official in this area." Come humanely.

Tang Xuanzang: "Amitabha, this official is reasonable, what advice do you have?" ”

"Are you monks?" The official's gaze swept over the four of them, and then stared at Tang Xuanzang, and the others were ignored by him.

Just now, he received a report from the city guards, saying that a few monks came, and immediately rushed over, the kingdom was in drought, the king asked monks and Taoist priests everywhere to practice, and the nearby monks were invited all over again, and the Dharma was done countless times, and even, the king ordered, whoever asked for the rain should be rewarded, but no one succeeded.

At first, there were many monks and Taoist priests who came to pray for rain, but it was useless, and gradually it became less. Moreover, the king did not know where to listen to the bad idea of the masters, saying that there were too few monks and Taoist priests, which affected the effect of the rituals, which meant that the more people who practiced the rituals, the better.

Therefore, the monks and Taoist priests who failed to ask for rain were placed under house arrest and were not allowed to leave this place, and they begged for rain every day, which meant that there was no entry or exit, and the nearby monks and Taoist priests were too frightened to travel, and many people quietly left this place, causing monks and Taoists to be difficult to find.

Therefore, the king issued a death order, let the officials of the jurisdiction search for monks, during this time, the rumors are all soldiers, just to find monks, Taoist priests, practice to ask for rain.

Now that a monk is here, how can the official let it go, as soon as he received the report, he immediately rushed over.

"Oops! It turned out to be a senior monk, and the official was reasonable. ”

After confirming that the four were monks, the official immediately put on a smiling face, full of smiles, a lovely smile, and an attitude that was extremely good.

"When the monk comes here, please go to the mansion and let the official prepare a little wine, so as to make the landlord happy, and ask the monk to appreciate his face."

The official was polite, Tang Seng and the others were not easy to refuse, so they followed to the official's mansion.

Vegetarian wine, vegetarian fruit, vegetarian dishes all kinds of vegetarian food, very rich, after the wine and food are full, the official said that the king wants to see the four, the king summoned, Tang Seng and others naturally did not dare to refuse, with the official came to the palace, the guard entered the report, it did not take long for the four people to enter, in the palace to see the king.

After seeing the ceremony, the king did not talk nonsense, and bluntly said that the four Tang monks would ask for rain.

King: "Monk, there has been no rain in your country for several months, please have compassion on the monk and ask the monk to pray for rain." ”

"Your Majesty, although the poor monk is familiar with the Buddhist scriptures, he will not do this to ask for rain, and I ask the king to forgive me."

Although Tang Seng was familiar with the Buddhist scriptures, he had never learned the method of praying for rain, so he hurriedly refused.

"How do you know if you don't try? It's good to do the practice first. ”

For this kind of excuse, the king has obviously touched a lot, without saying a word, so that an official led the four people away, Tang Seng and the four people had no choice but to follow the official, a moment later to the place of praying for rain, this is a large square, the center built a three-zhang high platform, there is a square table on the high platform, placed many props and sacrifices for the ceremony.

At this time, many monks and Taoists sat in a circle under the high platform, and these monks and Taoists were reciting scriptures orally, as if they were praying for rain.

"Senior monks, please come to the stage and ask for rain." Officials are polite, but they cannot be refused.

"The poor monk really doesn't know how to beg for rain......" Tang Seng wanted to refuse, but he was blinded by the official, and left with two guards half-pushed Tang Seng to the high platform, Tang Seng could only look at Sun Wukong with a begging for help.

Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, and Sha Seng glanced at each other, and then smiled and said to Tang Seng: "Master, you are on stage, and other things are up to me." ”

Speaking, fortunately, Tang Seng whispered a few words in his ear, after the senior monk went to the high platform, how to do it, Tang Seng no longer postponed, went to the high platform, sat cross-legged on the ground, and began to recite Buddhist scriptures in his mouth, those guards and officials retreated when they saw this, and they didn't need to pay much attention to what Tang Seng read.

Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie and Sha Seng stayed under the stage, looking for a place to sit down, Sun Wukong saw that there were no guards to pay attention to them, so he looked around, there were many monks and Taoist priests sitting here, the old beard was gray, and the young one was only about ten years old, these people closed their eyes slightly, and their mouths were nagging and reciting scriptures.

Sun Wukong approached a little novice and asked with a smile: "Little monk, why are you also here to pray for rain?" ”

The little novice opened his eyes and glanced at Sun Wukong: "What do you know about the hairy monkey, I don't want to come here, but what if you don't come, the people in our temple have been arrested, how can I stay alone." ”

"So you're being caught?"

"Saying that he was invited is actually no different from being arrested."

The little novice was unscrupulous, and it was very annoying to stay here, and the master and brother did not let him speak, but at this time, someone finally took the initiative to talk to him, and he talked endlessly.

Xiao Shami and his master and brother are monks from the temple on the nearby mountain, the king begged for rain, they were naturally invited, they have been invited for more than two months, day and night chanting for rain, already complained, but being watched, there is no good way, can only be obedient.

"Don't talk to each other! Be careful! ”

A guard seemed to notice this side and shouted loudly, Sun Wukong and Xiao Shami also listened, but after the exchange of Xiao Shami, Sun Wukong already understood what was going on, it was nothing more than a drought in the kingdom, the king begged for rain, and I don't know where to hear the news, saying that the more people who do things to ask for rain, the greater the success rate of asking for rain, so there are so many monks under house arrest.

Sun Wukong told Zhu Bajie and Sha Seng the news of the inquiry, and the two were relieved when they heard that they were just begging for rain.

Asking for rain, it's a trivial matter, for people in the realm of Sun Wukong, calling for wind and rain is not a problem.

So, by Sun Wukong to perform the technique of calling the wind and rain, Sun Wukong used his mana, and the air between heaven and earth immediately changed, and the wind began to blow, and even the sky was faintly brewing dark clouds.

"Huh! It's windy, is it successful in asking for rain? ”

Many monks raised their heads and looked up at the clouds that were condensing in the sky, and even the eyes of those guards and officials lit up.

It hadn't rained for months, and they were so hot that everyone was excited.

Seeing this, Sun Wukong secretly added some aura to make the wind blow more violently, however, just when everyone was hopeful and thought that praying for rain would be successful, suddenly, there was a faint spiritual power above the sky that traveled out of thin air, beating slightly, this is the Yellow Lion Jing arranged the Hidden Heaven Array played a role, this formation can not only deceive the heavens, but also melt the actual combat of the Dao, which is why many monks and Taoist priests have not succeeded in praying for rain, many monks and Taoist priests have the means to call for wind and rain, but they are dissolved by this Concealment Array, Asking for rain will not work.

The wind soon stopped, the clouds that were condensing dispersed, and the prayer for rain failed.

"The Trick of Calling the Wind and Rain has failed?!"

Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, Sha Seng and others are not ordinary people, they immediately noticed the abnormality, they looked up at the sky, knowing that there was a cat on it, if it wasn't for too many people, they would probably immediately take off and rush up to see what it was, but at this time there were too many people, and the three of them could only hold back first.

"In the end, it failed!"

An old monk beside Xiao Shami said softly.

The little novice asked, "Master, it seems that the prayer for rain was successful just now, why did it disappear again?" ”

"Amitabha, be cautious!"

The old monk touched the little novice's head, closed his eyes slightly, and continued to chant in his mouth.

"In the end, it failed!"

The others also sighed softly, just seeing a glimmer of hope, but they didn't expect disappointment to follow.

In the Hukou Cave, the Yellow Lion Spirit was listening to the report of the little demons, and the four Tang monks entered the kingdom and begged for rain in the kingdom, and their every move was tracked by the little demons.

"Doing it for rain?"

Huang Shi thought about it day by day, he understood why this place was drought, and it was related to Tianhuo, and he didn't want to do this, because it would make people with intentions pay attention to this place, but he had no other way, the only way was to refine a new holy weapon and collect Tianhuo into it, but he lacked refining materials, so he delayed it again and again.

"Let's see."

The yellow lion spirit entered the depths of the cave, which was the central formation for arranging the Heaven Concealment Array, he opened the stone cave, pointed at a stone platform, and the stone platform could have a flash of light, and then, the scenery on this side of the altar immediately appeared synchronously.

Tang Seng practiced on the stage, thousands of monks and Taoists under the stage chanted scriptures, and reproduced here through the Hidden Heaven Array, this Hidden Heaven Array can observe the scenery shrouded in the array, as long as it belongs to the territory of the Hidden Heaven Array, it has not escaped his search, but it consumes very spiritual power to use, unless it is forced to do so, otherwise the Yellow Lion Spirit is unwilling to use.

Just as he was observing the altar, Sun Wukong suddenly raised his head, and his sharp eyes looked towards the Heaven Concealment Array in the sky, at this moment, he seemed to have penetrated time and space and saw the yellow lion spirit on the other side.

"So sensitive? It doesn't seem easy! ”

Huang Shijing hurriedly closed the stone platform, although this kind of observation is hidden, people who have exceeded a certain realm can still feel that Sun Wukong is that kind of person.

"Interesting!"

Sun Wukong also retracted his gaze, as if he had understood what was going on.

"What do you mean?"

Sha Seng still doesn't understand.

"Someone was watching us just now!" Sun Wukong didn't say anything, but Zhu Bajie explained that he also noticed the secret observation of the yellow lion spirit just now.

"Who is so bold as to dare to peep even the Monkey King?!"

Sha Seng said.

Zhu Bajie thought for a while and said, "Why don't we go to investigate at night?" ”

Sun Wukong shook his head and said, "Forget it, no matter who it is, as long as he provokes us, there is no need to pay attention to it." ”

He talked to Zhang Hongjun, and Zhang Hongjun told him that there would be a lot of monsters along the way, and many of them were higher in realm cultivation than him, and their origins were not simple.

Zhang Hongjun told him that the true meaning of learning from the scriptures is to exchange for the soul of the Zixia Fairy, and Sun Wukong also agrees with this very much, if it were not for the soul of the Zixia Fairy, he would not compromise on it.

In the Hukou Cave, the yellow lion spirit quietly left the cave after pondering for a while, and it didn't take long for him to appear outside the city of Yuhua Kingdom, turning into a young man, the man was dressed in white and snowy, with a sword hanging from his waist, and the whole person was dusty and elegant, very free and easy.

The man in white entered the city, came to the outside of the palace, took out a token and handed it to the guards, and it was not long before the man was invited into the palace and appeared in the back garden of the palace.
