So, the king once again ordered someone to invite Tang Seng and others to the palace.

This time it's an invitation, not a call.

As soon as they met, the king hurried forward and took the initiative to salute him.

After all, he has suffered a big loss, where can he dare to put on the shelf of a king?

"National teacher, elders, please forgive this king for his rudeness and presumptuousness yesterday......"

The queen also stepped forward with red eyes and explained: "Actually, the king is also bent on making France rich, so he has made some radical acts.

I believe that you have also seen the current situation of the destruction of France, if it is not rectified, I am afraid it will not be able to support it for a few years. ”

"Amitabha!"

Tang Seng recited a Buddha name in a complicated mood.

The group sat down and calmly began to communicate.

After Gu Ming and Tang Seng explained, the king was greatly inspired, and at the same time, he was deeply aware of his wrong behavior, and said that he would definitely change his past mistakes.

In fact, what Gu Ming and Tang Seng told the king was nothing more than the successful experience that had been implemented in the history of the Tang Dynasty.

That is, all temples and temples are registered and registered.

At the same time, the temple and temple personnel, field property, etc. should also be uniformly made and submitted to the palace, and reviewed by a special person, so as to facilitate the unified management of the palace and strictly control the number of fields and personnel.

"Thank you for the enlightenment of the national teacher and the holy monk, and in the future, this king will definitely do his best to make up for his previous mistakes......"

Subsequently, the king first replaced Guan Wen for Tang Seng, and then issued several royal decrees in a row, and announced them to the whole country.

One is to admit his mistake and change back to his previous name. Second, the temple will be rebuilt one after another. Third, it announced the future management of monasteries and monastic families.

This catastrophe was finally overcome.

After that, Tang Seng and others went west first, but Gu Ming stayed, and selected more than ten talented people to teach Confucian concepts and exercises as before, and spread Tang culture......

On the other side, Tang monks and apprentices continued to walk westward.

About a month later, when I passed through a place called "Hidden Fog Mountain", I encountered another difficulty.

There is a monster in this mountain called Nanshan King, whose body is a wormwood flower skin leopard essence.

This guy's cultivation is not high, but he is quite cunning, teasing Tang Seng and his apprentices, and finally taking Tang Seng back to the cave.

That, Sun Wukong quietly sneaked into the cave and rescued the master, and with the joint efforts of the three brothers, the monster was finally destroyed.

After turning over the Hidden Fog Mountain, he officially entered the boundary of Tianzhu Kingdom.

Tianzhu is the largest country in Xiniu Hezhou, although it is not as good as the Tang Dynasty, but it is far larger than all the countries that the Tang monks and apprentices have passed through before.

Other small countries have only one city, that is, the royal city, but in addition to the royal city, the Tianzhu Kingdom also has other prefectures and counties.

After turning over the Hidden Fog Mountain, he entered the territory of Fengxian County of Tianzhu Kingdom.

At this time, Gu Ming also rushed over.

Along the way, Tang Seng found that the place was extremely arid and full of displaced refugees.

For a while, I couldn't help feeling pity, so I asked Sun Wukong to ask the reason.

Sun Wukong found a few refugees and asked, only to know that it had not rained in Fengxian County for three years......

"What? No rain in three years? ”

Hearing Sun Wukong's report, Tang Seng couldn't help but be surprised.

"No wonder the riverbeds are dry." Zhu Bajie couldn't help but say.

"How can it not rain for three years?" Tang Seng asked with a puzzled expression.

Sun Wukong shook his head: "It's not clear, maybe there is some special reason." ”

Entering Fengxian County, the city was deserted and dusty, and there were few pedestrians to be seen.

As he was walking, there was a sudden commotion on the street in front of him.

"There's water!"

I don't know who yelled.

This roar was like a trumpet, and out of nowhere, a large number of people rushed out, carrying buckets and basins.

At a crossroads not far away, two ox carts were placed with a special bucket, and several big men stood by the cars, waving their hands and shouting: "Don't crowd, line up!" ”

"The price of water has risen today, twenty cents a bucket."

As soon as these words came out, the people immediately made an uproar.

"What? Another price increase? ”

"That's it, at the beginning, three pennies a bucket ......"

"Don't let people live......"

"The point is that it's a bucket, and it turns out that the water from their bucket is only half a bucket in our bucket......"

Hearing the people's troubles, one of the men stood on the ox cart and said loudly: "If it's too expensive, go back, don't get in the way of others here."

It's good to have something to drink, there is no water around this Fengxian County at all, and a few of our brothers also risked their lives to get water in the mountains. ”

"That's it, this water was bought by our buddies in exchange for their lives."

"But you're a little too dark......"

The two sides insisted on their own words and quarreled endlessly.

When he was making a fuss, a middle-aged man with an extraordinary bearing walked over.

"The Marquis!"

"I've seen the marquis!"

The crowd finally stopped making noise and saluted.

"Niu Er, I know that your water is not easy to come by, but the people are also bitter, everyone should be considerate of each other, how about it?"

"This ......"

The man at the head hesitated for a while, and then said: "Okay, for the sake of the face of the marquis, then the price will not be increased for the time being, or fifteen yuan a bucket." ”

"Well, thank you!"

The marquis arched his hand and was about to turn around and leave, but he inadvertently saw Tang Seng and his party walking over slowly, and his eyes couldn't help but light up.

So, he hurried up to meet him.

"I don't know if this archmage is a holy monk who came from the Eastern Tang Dynasty and went to the West Heaven to learn scriptures?"

"Amitabha Buddha is a poor monk!"

"Great, I have admired the name of the holy monk for a long time, if you don't dislike it, can you move to the humble house and sit?"

"It's good!"

Tang Seng responded.

So, the group came to a large mansion with the marquis.

The layout of the house is quite exquisite, but unfortunately most of the plants planted in it have died due to drought for many years, so it looks very desolate.

Entering the hall, the marquis immediately ordered Yahuan to make tea.

"I won't tell you anything, now the entire Fengxian County is short of water, including my county marquis's mansion.

The drinking water in the house was brought back from hundreds of miles away......"

Speaking of this, the marquis couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

Tang Seng hesitated for a while, and couldn't help but glance at Sun Wukong and said, "Wukong, don't you know how to ask for rain?" Or...... Help with some rain? ”

Sun Wukong was not embarrassed, and responded happily.

"Thank you Holy Monk, thank you Great Sage!"

The marquis was pleasantly surprised, and hurriedly thanked him.

To put it bluntly, he invited Tang Seng to come to the mansion precisely to ask for rain.

After all, the legend of Tang Seng and his apprentice has long been spread in Fengxian County.

Gu Ming didn't squeak.

If nothing else, Sun Wukong's trip should not go well.

As expected, about an hour later, Sun Wukong flew back with an angry face.

"Wukong, what's wrong?"

"It's infuriating!"

Sun Wukong said indignantly.

"Great Sage, what the hell is going on?" The marquis asked anxiously.

Sun Wukong glanced at the marquis and asked, "Let me ask you, three years ago, did the two of you quarrel?" ”

"Uh......" The marquis was stunned, thought about it for a while, and couldn't help responding: "There is such a thing, but this ......"

"At that time, did you kick over the offering table dedicated to the gods in a fit of rage and let the dogs eat the offerings?"

"This ......"

The marquis was speechless for a while, and dense sweat broke out on his forehead.

"Lao Sun told you, it was your anger that caused a big disaster. At that time, the Jade Emperor happened to be patrolling the Nether Realm, and he happened to find out about your actions, so he issued a decree in a fit of anger to not give you rain in Fengxian County.

Lao Sun went to beg the Dragon King, but the Dragon King refused to give rain, saying that this was the will of the Jade Emperor, how could he dare to resist the decree and secretly give you rain? ”

"Holy monk, great sage, please save the people of Fengxian County......"

The marquis was so frightened that he quickly knelt down and pleaded bitterly.

"I swear, it's really unintentional, and I don't have a trace of disrespect for God......"

"Alright, get up, I'll give you an idea."

Gu Ming couldn't help but say.

"Great, thank you Immortal!"

The marquis was pleasantly surprised, and hurriedly thanked Gu Ming.

"There are a lot of water sources in the Hidden Fog Mountain, and it is not far from Fengxian County, only a few dozen miles away, you can organize the people to go to get water together, which can solve the urgent need."

As soon as he heard the name of Hidden Fog Mountain, the marquis couldn't help but be surprised: "But Shangxian, there are many monsters in that mountain." Before, some people ventured in to get water, and the result was ...... Most of them have gone and never returned. ”

"Amitabha, don't be afraid now, the monsters in the Hidden Fog Mountain have been lowered by the three apprentices of the poor monk."

"Yes, the monster leader was killed by the old pig himself."

Zhu Bajie said triumphantly.

"Great, thank you, thank you......"

Hearing that the Hidden Fog Mountain was safe, the county marquis was naturally overjoyed.

At present, Hidden Fog Mountain is the closest water source to Fengxian County, and other places have either dried up their water sources or are too far away, and they may not get enough water to drink on the way after running back and forth.

Although there are dozens of miles to go in Yinwu Mountain, if it is harder, you can set off before dawn and still rush back to the city at night.

So, the county marquis immediately ordered his subordinates to arrange manpower and organize a group of people to go to Yinwu Mountain to get water.

However, as Gu Ming said, this is only a solution to the urgent need, at most to solve the problem of drinking water.

Don't mention bathing or anything, the key is what to do with the crops?

Without crops, how can the people survive?

Therefore, Sun Wukong volunteered and went straight to Heaven to find the Jade Emperor to reason.

When others go to the Heavenly Court, they generally have to go through layers of reports and get permission from the Jade Emperor before they can enter the Lingxiao Treasure Hall.

But Sun Wukong has never been a person who talks about rules.

When he arrived at the South Heavenly Gate, he swaggered in, and all the heavenly soldiers and generals did not dare to stop him.

Because they were afraid that this guy would be angry and smash Nantianmen...... This kind of thing, Sun Wukong has not done it.

When he arrived at the Lingxiao Treasure Hall, Sun Wukong shouted loudly: "Jade Emperor Lao'er, Jade Emperor Lao'er, my old grandson is looking for you to comment." ”

Hearing Sun Wukong's voice, the muscles on the Jade Emperor's face couldn't help twitching slightly.

This monkey head has never been a good thing.

Sure enough, as soon as he entered the hall, Sun Wukong pointed at the Jade Emperor and shouted: "Jade Emperor Lao'er, why did you kill innocent people? ”

Tai Bai Xing hurriedly stepped forward to persuade him: "Great Sage, if you have something to say......

"Venus Lao'er, it's none of your business, my grandson came here today, and I made a special trip to find the Jade Emperor Lao'er to comment."

"Sun Wukong, you have to be presumptuous!"

The Jade Emperor was angry and slapped the case.

"You don't scare the old grandson!"

Sun Wukong turned to the people in the hall: "You come to evaluate the reasoning, my old grandson and my master walked to Fengxian County in Tianzhu Kingdom, and I saw that the people there were all yellow and thin.

Many people have been displaced, forced to sell their children, and even starved to death.

It's just a monster to make trouble, but all this was caused by the Jade Emperor Lao'er......"

"Nonsense, good, what did I do to those people?"

"You still say no? Three years ago, the marquis of Fengxian County quarreled with his wife and kicked over the offering table on impulse, which happened to be seen by you.

In a fit of rage, you actually ordered not to give rain to Fengxian County.

Three years have passed in the blink of an eye, do you know what has become of Fengxian County now?

They had no way to grow crops and had to go around begging for food.

But who has more food for the refugees? ”

As soon as he heard this, the Jade Emperor finally remembered this and couldn't help but say: "That's their own fault, and they must be punished for not respecting God." ”

"Phew, what do you mean by disrespecting God? Is the quarrel between the two of you in the way?

Besides, even if there is a mistake, it is only the fault of the marquis of that county, how can you affect all the people of Fengxian County?

Even if it affects the people, a little punishment is enough, why don't you give others a drop of rain after three years?

Is this a deliberate attempt to starve the people to death?

When it is preached, how will the people view God in the future? They will only say that you Jade Emperor, you are narrow-minded.

How can a narrow-minded god deserve their sincere respect? ”

"You ......"

The Jade Emperor was so angry that he almost vomited blood.

When did this monkey become so eloquent?

"Your Majesty!"

At this time, Li Jing stood up.

"What is the beginning of Aiqing?"

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that although Sun Wukong is a little strong and unreasonable, he has a good starting point, and he is also thinking about the people......"

"Yes, yes, Your Majesty, three years have passed, and I think that the marquis of the county has also realized his mistake, so it is better to let him put down the incense case and sincerely pray to the heavens to apologize......"

Seeing that Li Jing and Tai Baixing were helping to intercede, the Jade Emperor also took advantage of the situation to go downhill and replied: "Well, as long as the marquis and his wife sincerely apologize, I will no longer care about this matter." ”

Sun Wukong will accept it when he sees it, after all, if he goes to squeeze the Jade Emperor at this time, it will only make the people of Fengxian County suffer more.

So he arched his hand and grinned: "Thank you Jade Emperor!" ”

This time it's not called Lao'er.

After returning to the county marquis's mansion, Sun Wukong explained the meaning of the Jade Emperor.

The marquis was pleasantly surprised, and immediately agreed to put down the incense case in public and ask the Jade Emperor for guilt.

So, after some preparations, on the morning of the second day, the marquis and his wife placed three animals and incense outside the city, and knelt down in front of thousands of people to worship, hoping that the Jade Emperor would forgive the couple for their offense back then, and prayed for rain to lift up the suffering people.

Since the Jade Emperor agreed to this matter, he naturally wouldn't think too much about it.

So, he issued another decree and ordered the Dragon King of the Four Seas to spread the rain.

As soon as the marquis and his wife finished praying, the sky became gloomy.

With that, a downpour fell from the sky.

"Great, it's raining!"

"It's finally raining!"

"Thank God, thank God......"

The people spontaneously knelt down and bowed to the sky excitedly.

The people who did not leave the city also ran out one after another, singing and dancing in the rain, even happier than the festival.

Of course, I didn't forget to take out all the tools at home to fill the water.

After all, they are short of water and afraid.

The rain rained for a few hours, until the waves began to gush out of the ditch, and the rain stopped.

That night, the marquis held a grand banquet at home, inviting Gu Ming, Tang monks and apprentices, and some celebrities in the city to gather together.

At the same time, I also expressed my sincere gratitude to Gu Ming and Tang Seng and his apprentices.

Infected by the emotions of a lot of people, Tang Seng also made an exception and drank two glasses of wine.

It's not the first time I've drunk it anyway......
