Seventy-Three Journey to the West (36)

Tang Xuanzang said: Where, where! The three Taoist friends were serious.

Huli Daxian said: Holy monk, you first rest on the side, and entertain the holy monk in my Taoist temple at night.

Tang Xuanzang said: Thank you Daoyou, it's really disturbing!

Huli Daxian said to the king of Chechiguo: I don't know what the king is looking for us?

The king of Chechi said: This year, there is a great drought in Chechi, and this king specially finds three Taoist chiefs for the people of Chechiguo to ask for rain.

Huli Daxian said: In this way, we can pray for rain for the people.

At this time, Tang Xuanzang said: Your Majesty, the poor monk has something to ask for.

Everyone's eyes looked at Tang Xuanzang.

King Chechi said, "I don't know the holy monk, what is the matter with the widow?"

Tang Xuanzang said: Please also ask Your Majesty to let me ask for rain, if the rain is successful, I hope to leave a way for the monks of Che Chi to live.

King Che Chi said, "Hey! Holy monk, you also make me too embarrassed, this was all set by the previous king a long time ago, and I can't change it.

Huli Daxian said: Holy monk, you don't seem to have this livelihood in Buddhism, right?

Tang Xuanzang said: Three great immortals, I know that you have ensured 20 years of smooth weather in Chechi Country. I admire you very much about that, and I just want to save the monks.

The queen said, "Holy monk, if you can't ask for rain, aren't you afraid to put yourself inside?"

Tang Xuanzang said: Amitabha! It's really worth it to save so many people by giving up on me. If I can't save it, at least I'll do my best!

The king and queen of Che Chi Guo whispered for a while, and the king of Che Chi Guo said: "Three national teachers, what do you think of this matter?"

Huli Daxian gritted his teeth and said: The three of us agreed to let the holy monk ask for rain. If the holy monks succeed in asking for rain, His Majesty can spare the lives of these monks. If the holy monk's prayer for rain is unsuccessful, the holy monk, you go to learn the scriptures, and those monks will be expelled from the country of Chechi.

Tang Xuanzang breathed a sigh of relief and said to the king: Thank you for your majesty and the magnanimity of the three great immortals.

The king of Che Chi said: Order someone to set up an altar, and the holy monks of the Tang Dynasty will ask for rain.

The altar was quickly erected, and our group came to the altar.

Tang Xuanzang said: Wukong, do you have a way to ask for rain?

Wukong said: I haven't learned that, but I have a way.

Tang Xuanzang said as he walked: Hurry up, what can be done?

Wukong said: Master, you can go to the high platform to recite the scriptures, and I will ask for rain.

Tang Xuanzang said: Wukong, what scripture should I recite?

Wukong said: Master, you can recite any scripture.

Tang Xuanzang came to the high platform and sat cross-legged on the futon. It began, the French style of chanting for rain.

Wukong made a golden cicada out of its shell, leaving a fake body on the high platform. Zhenwukong came to Heaven to find a way!

The Jade Emperor saw Wukong coming and said, "You monkey, why do you have the leisure to come to me for a stroll?"

Wukong said: The Jade Emperor issued a decree to give Che Chi Kingdom some rain. Tang Xuanzang was a monk, and he had to save the monk of Che Chi Guo. This is not a request for rain, the Jade Emperor has a will to give Che Chi Kingdom a rain!

The Jade Emperor said: Oh! What a trifle! The Jade Emperor used a pen to write a will and give it to Wukong.

Wukong carefully took the Jade Emperor's will into his arms. Then he drove the clouds and went, the dwelling place of the four gods of wind, rain, thunder and lightning. When they arrived at the residence of the four gods of wind, rain, thunder and lightning, these four gods did not talk nonsense and followed Wukong directly, and came to the sky above Chechi Kingdom.

The rain god released dark clouds first, so that the entire Chechi country was shrouded in dark clouds. Then Feng Po released the wind that blew the rain, and the electric mother sent out lightning one after another, and the thunder man cooperated with the electric mother to release rolling thunder. Immediately afterwards, the heavy rain came in Chechi country, which lasted for more than 1 hour, completely relieving the drought in Chechi country.

Everyone returned to the palace of Chechiguo, and the king of Chechiguo said: The holy monk of the Tang Dynasty has good skills!

Tang Xuanzang said: Your Majesty, poor monks don't get such praise. To tell you the truth, my Buddhism is not good at asking for rain, in fact, I can't ask for it at all. This time it was my big apprentice, and he came to Heaven to ask for rain. I'm just doing it there.

King Che Chi said: Seeing that the holy monk is so open-minded, we will no longer embarrass the Buddha according to the previous agreement. Three national teachers, do you still have any opinions?

The three national teachers said: Your Majesty, the three of us have no opinion.

The king of Che Chi took out his big seal and covered the customs clearance document for Tang Xuanzang.

Tang Xuanzang took the customs clearance document with both hands and said: Thank you, Your Majesty!

We left the palace of Chechi Kingdom and came to the Taoist temple of the three national teachers. The three national teachers ordered people to prepare, and a table of vegetarian food was used to entertain the Tang Dynasty holy monks.

After eating at the Taoist temple, we all rested, because we still have a way to go tomorrow.

When everyone was asleep, Huli Daxian and the others came to meet Wukong and Little White Dragon.

Tiger power, deer power, and sheep power see General Erwei.

The little white dragon said: Three free courtesy!

Wukong said: What is the matter with the three of you coming here?

Hu Li said: The three of us want to serve in Heavenly Court, but there is no way, and we have been acting for so many years.

Wukong said: Oh! Do you want to become a regular?

Huli Daxian said: That's right, I hope General Erwei can help us say a few good words.

The little white dragon said: Listen to the three of you, we will recommend it for you. The main thing is to look at yourself, if you don't do anything, we can't help you.

Huli Daxian said: Hey, hey! Thank you to the two generals for this success, and the three of us will keep it in mind.

Wukong said: The three of you should hurry up, it's almost time. Prepare breakfast for us, and that's it.

Huli Daxian said happily: This is a small matter, this is a small matter! General Erwei hurry up and rest, we won't disturb your rest.

The next morning, after Tang Xuanzang got up, he had a beautiful breakfast. Then we set out again on the road to learn from the scriptures.

Walking on the road, Tang Xuanzang said: Wang Jushi, do you say that the Buddhism of Che Chi Kingdom will exist safely?

I said: Master Xuanzang, you don't have to worry. The king of a country, and the three great immortals promised you that the Buddhism of Chechi Country would not suffer anything bad.

Tang Xuanzang said: When I finish learning the scriptures, I must come back to take a look.

I said, "No problem, let's have to come back!"

Tang Xuanzang said: Amitabha!

On this day we came to a river, but the water was black. Although there is no peculiar smell, it looks very unpleasant.

Tang Xuanzang said: Why is this water black?

Wukong said: There are monsters!

Zhu Bajie said: Brother Monkey, there are monsters in the water black. So where are there no monsters?

Wukong said: You idiot! You go underwater with Senior Brother Sha and explore the road for me. If you're lazy, don't blame me for ignoring brotherhood!

Zhu Bajie said: Senior brother of the sand, let's go to this black water to eliminate food. Be sure to find this monster and that's it! Save the elder brother from saying I'm lazy, let's go! After speaking, Zhu Bajie and Sha Seng went into the black water river.

I said, "Master Xuanzang, let's sit here and rest." Waiting for Bajie and Master Sha Seng to come back.
