Chapter 119: Legend of Heaven (Part II)

The owner of the house entered the "Heavenly Victory", first walked to the left pavilion, climbed to the top of the mountain along the "Avenue of Talents", put the bones of the ancestors on the dragon chair, immediately turned around and went down the mountain, went around to the right pavilion, climbed to the top of the mountain along the "Avenue of Wealth", filled two cloth bags with jewelry, took a lot of them in his hand, rushed down the mountain and rushed out of the cave door to put down the jewels he had obtained, and turned back to continue to go up the mountain to grab. Strange, it turned out that Jin Cheng, who contained the bones of his ancestors, was put back outside the cave, he doubted whether there was anything wrong, and when he opened Jin Cheng to take a look, he found that the bones were not fake at all. He thought, probably I don't have this blessing to bury my ancestors in this blessed place, for the sake of today, I have to take more gold, silver and jewelry, "expensive" can't ask for it, it is good to become a rich man, so he climbed to the top of the mountain along the "Avenue of Wealth", greedily filled two bags of jewelry and rushed out of the cave door, was looked outside the door and dumbfounded, but the jewelry just placed outside the cave door was gone. The third time I went in, I saw that the jewel that had been placed outside the cave door was back in place. He ran about and was busy for most of the night, and he could not get any treasure. When he ran in for the last time, the stone gate had already rolled and sounded, he hurriedly turned around and ran out, almost one foot was crushed by the stone door, and when he was clear-headed, he found that in the hurry, he forgot to take out the lotus, and the lotus was locked in the "victory realm".

Since then, the stone gate of Guanyin Pavilion has never been opened for thousands of years.

This year, the peach in Yaochi was ripe again, and the Queen Mother of the West invited all the immortals to Yaochi to participate in the peach event. At the request of Guanyin Bodhisattva, they went to Yaochi to attend the meeting by going to the "Heavenly Avenue" of Guanyin Pavilion.

One day, two peasant women dressed as outsiders went to the Guanyin Pavilion to make incense, but a day or two days passed, but the two outsiders did not come out, people felt strange, so they went to the pavilion to look for it, and looked for it but there was no trace. Something like this is said to have happened more than once. When the news spread, people said: "Guanyin Pavilion, you have to go up or down." This adds to the mystery of the Guanyin Pavilion, but some people speculate that it is the whereabouts of the immortals.

After the end of the peach festival, the Jade Emperor specially left the Gangxian, Baihua Immortal and the Northern Emperor Huaguang to interrogate.

Jade Emperor: "There are a lot of thieves in the Heaven area. Is there such a thing? ”

Gangxian: "The minister replied to Your Majesty, as an immortal, why don't you care." Do you still have a heart for love? “

Gangxian: "Your Majesty, there are a little more thieves there, but there is a reason. “

Jade Emperor: "Tell me why." ”

Gangshan: "Your Majesty Rong Chen." The vast majority of the Li people in the Paradise area are kind and hardworking, but their lives are very hard. In normal years, only two meals a day can only be eaten with gruel, so the title of "porridge eating area" is a irony and insult to heaven. The real thieves are just some bad people with bad intentions, and most of them are forced to obey because of life. ”

Jade Emperor: "Why?"

Baihua Xian: "Your Majesty, the land in the heavenly area is owned by some bureaucrats and nobles, landlords and bullies, the peasants have to lease fields from him for cultivation, the land rent is very heavy, and the government is heavily extracted, all year round, in addition to paying rent and tax, there is little grain left in the harvest, and the peasants have to live with wild vegetables and gruel, if they encounter a disaster year, it will be even more miserable, selling children and daughters, families are ruined, fleeing from famine and begging, starving all over the wilderness, it is a common thing. The Paradise region is particularly prone to drought. It doesn't rain for half a month. It becomes a small drought, which affects the growth of crops. The harvest is going to fail; It doesn't rain for a month. It becomes a moderate drought. Many crops are planted at the wrong time, and the harvest failure is even greater, and if it does not rain for three months, there will be a miserable scene mentioned above. In this case, there is no way out for the peasants' livelihood, that is, the originally good people, in order to survive, do not care about the crime and follow some bad people to rob. As far as we know, the Paradise region has at least two such disaster years every ten years, so how can there be fewer thieves? ”

Jade Emperor: "Why are there so many calamity years?" ”

Gangxian: "Your Majesty." There are roughly two reasons for this. One is that the heaven is very high, and it is like a ridge, and the water pours down on both sides, and it cannot be stored, because the land is dry, and if it does not rain, it becomes a drought. The second is that the amount of rainfall there is very low......"

Jade Emperor: "Why is the rainfall there biased?" ”

Gangxian: "Then I have to ask the Dragon King of the South China Sea." ”

Jade Emperor: "Ao Guang! ”

Ao Guang: "The minister is here." ”

Jade Emperor: "You should treat your people equally, how did you do it?" ”

Ao Guang: "Your Majesty, in the past, it was because many people there were thieves and wanted to punish them, so the amount of rain was too low. I think it's their own fault. ”

Gangxian: "That's not right. Specific matters should be analyzed on a case-by-case basis. If they are forced to do it, they can be punished lightly or even forgiven. As I have just said, the vast majority of people in heaven are good people, and some people are forced to make peace in order to survive. Besides, in the heavenly region, the vast majority of people would rather starve than become thieves! Heaven has the virtue of a good life, and you can't let the people suffer together because of a handful of bad people! ”

The words made Ao Guang, the Dragon King of the South China Sea, speechless.

Jade Emperor: "Northern Emperor Huaguang." ”

Northern Emperor: "The minister is here." ”

Jade Emperor: "Huaguang, although you don't live there for a long time, you also accept that side of incense." Always know something. What do you think? ”

Beidi: "The minister thinks that the Gang Immortal Gu, Sister Baihua Fairy is right, the situation is indeed like this." ”

Jade Emperor: "Too Platinum Star." ”

Taibai: "The minister is here." ”

Jade Emperor: "You give me a decree that the treasure house of the Heavenly Guanyin Pavilion will be open for three days." Let the people of heaven get a little benefit and improve their lives. ”

Jade Emperor: "Hundred Flower Fairy." When you go back, you have to reveal the secret of planting flowers. Teach the people how to grow flowers. As for Ao Guang, you have to act according to the actual situation in the future, and you can't be beaten to death with a stick. ”

……

The news that the "treasure house of wealth" of Guanyin Pavilion had been open for three days spread, and the people of heaven were boiling. At this time, bureaucrats, aristocrats, local tyrants, inferior gentry, big landlords, bullies, bandit leaders, and other powerful people immediately took action to seek a big profit. They organized manpower, colluded with each other, held meetings and negotiated, divided into several ranks according to the size of their forces, and then distributed the gold and silver treasures in the treasury according to their ranks, and marked the treasures in the vaults and pots, indicating whose they belonged to. And he sent men to guard the gates of the caves, so that the people would not be allowed to enter. Therefore, the common people only like it emptyly, and they dare to enter the cave only when the wicked people have removed the treasures in the cave and the gatekeepers have withdrawn. When they entered the cave, they saw that the treasury was empty. At this time, they thought that they had no gold or silver treasures, and they would pick up some gravel and clods in the cave and go home as souvenirs.

Then again. When the wicked men brought the treasure home, some of them put it in the iron cabinet, and some of them put it in the secret cellar, but after two days of inspection, the treasure was gone, and they were not reconciled, and they wanted to go into the treasury again to plunder it, but the door of the cave was closed.

As for the gravel, clods and other things that ordinary people took in the warehouse, when they returned home, they changed into seeds of various crops, including vegetables, melons, beans, wheat, corn, etc., as well as seeds of red smoke, fruit cane, flowers, and seeds of various fruit trees. Varied. The common people rejoiced. Because these seeds are drought tolerant. Some can also be planted in winter. In case of dry weather. When the rice cannot be planted, these crops can be planted instead, and the farmland is idle in winter, and winter planting can be carried out, so that the farmland can be changed from two crops to three crops a year. Fruit trees and flowers can also be planted in front of the house, behind the house and on the hillside. Some of the crops were well suited to the soil of the Paradise area, and later became Paradise

The special products, such as red smoke, fruit cane, radish, garlic, pepper, melon, etc., are all crops with large yield, good texture and deliciousness, which are praised by outsiders and sell well to distant places. With the cultivation of flowers, the people of heaven have learned more skills to make a living, and in the future, florists at home and abroad, people of heaven everywhere.

With these crops grown in the Paradise area, farmers' lives have improved ever since. Everyone realized that the gift of God should not be obtained for nothing, but through the recreation of diligent hands to turn it into wealth.
