The road was smooth, and the master and apprentice were relaxed and happy to go west. After walking for a few more months, he came under a city gate.

Xuanzang said: "Apprentices, I don't know which city we have arrived in again!"

Wujing said: "Master, we have arrived at the gate of the city, why don't you just find someone to ask?"

So Wukong stopped a passer-by and asked, "May I ask this big brother, what kind of city is this?"

The passer-by said: "Elders, this is the outer county of Tianzhu-Fengxian County. ”

After listening to the answer, Wukong exclaimed: "Tianzhu Kingdom! Tianzhu Kingdom! Tianzhu Kingdom has arrived!"

Bajie also exclaimed: "Tianzhu Country! Tianzhu Country! Tianzhu Country has arrived!"

Wujing immediately exclaimed: "Tianzhu Kingdom! Tianzhu Kingdom! Tianzhu Kingdom has arrived!"

The second monk Xuanzang was puzzled and asked, "You all know this Tianzhu Kingdom?"

Wujing said: "I don't know. ”

Xuanzang said: "Since you don't know, what is your ghost name?"

Wujing said: "I heard them all shouting and screaming like this, so I wanted to join in the fun." ”

Xuanzang asked again: "Bajie, do you know this Tianzhu Kingdom?"

Bajie replied with an incredulous expression: "Master, as a generation of great virtuous monks, you don't know about Tianzhu Kingdom?"

Xuanzang said: "Why do I have to know about Tianzhu Kingdom?"

Bajie said: "Tianzhu Country is the hometown of the Buddha and his old man! Don't you read Buddhist books?"

Xuanzang said: "When I read Buddhist books, I only understand the essence of Buddhism mentioned in the books. As for where the Buddha's hometown is, what does it have to do with me?"

Wukong said: "Eight precepts, the master will only read the meaning, not to understand much, this is a supreme state of reading, you don't understand." ”

Xuanzang said: "By the way, is this really the hometown of the Buddha?"

Wukong said: "Yes, this is the hometown of the Buddha." ”

Xuanzang was pleasantly surprised: "Then we have arrived at our destination?"

Wukong said with a smile: "It's not there yet! When the Buddha achieved positive results in Tianzhu and finally became a world-class power, he opened up the Western Heaven Elysium. Now he's in the Great Thunder Sound Temple in the Western Heavenly Elysium, which is our destination. ”

Xuanzang said: "Doesn't this place belong to the Western Heaven Elysium?"

Wukong said: "Of course not! This place belongs to Xiniu Hezhou, which is under the control of the Heavenly Court, not by the Buddha." ”

Xuanzang sighed and said, "Oh, let me be happy for nothing! I thought this was the Western Heaven Elysium." ”

Bajie said: "Master, Brother Monkey and I have both been to Da Lei Yin Temple, but I think we flew there back then. I've heard that if you go by land, it's even more troublesome. ”

Xuanzang said: "What's the trouble?"

Bajie said: "If you go by land, you have to go through customs." However, it's not a big problem, after all, you have a customs clearance paperwork, it's just a matter of going through some more procedures. ”

Xuanzang said: "Customs! I still have to go through customs! So where is this customs?"

Bajie said: "The name of the customs is Yuzhenguan, and the chief of the customs is called Jinding Daxian." I heard that there is also a teleportation ...... in that Jade True Temple."

Wukong interrupted: "Bajie, you can't say it anymore, it will be a serious spoiler if you say it again!

Xuanzang said: "It's still mysterious!"

Wukong said: "Master, it's useless to talk too much now, when you get there, you will naturally know." ”

Xuanzang said: "If you don't say it, don't say it! Then let me ask you, is the Bodhi tree where the Buddha meditated in Tianzhu Kingdom?"

Wukong said: "Yes, that Bodhi tree is in Tianzhu Kingdom." ”

Xuanzang said happily: "Then how about we go and take a look?"

Wujing smiled: "Master, I don't think you want to take a look, but want to sit down, right?"

Xuanzang said: "You don't care if I go to see or sit, just treat it as a tour." ”

Wukong said: "If you can't go, you can't go." ”

Xuanzang Qi said: "Why can't you go?"

Wukong said: "Because we are not on the way, we must follow the prescribed route." Besides, you can't see it even if you stop by. ”

Xuanzang said: "I can't see it by the way?

Wukong said: "This Bodhi tree has been applied for as one of the top ten cultural heritage of the Three Realms by the Tianzhu Kingdom, and it has been protected by the key points. Ordinary people can't see it. ”

Xuanzang said: "But I'm not an ordinary person, I'm the second disciple of the Buddha." ”

Wukong said: "How do mortals know that you are the second or third disciple of the Buddha? Here, there are more monsters who pretend to be disciples of the Buddha every year to cheat and eat and drink!"

Xuanzang exclaimed: "It's not so exaggerated, even the disciples of the Buddha dare to pretend?!"

Wukong smiled: "Master, even the Buddha has someone who dares to pretend to be, let alone the Buddha's disciple!"

Xuanzang thought about it for a while and said, "That's right! Isn't that little Xitian's yellow-eyed monster pretending to be a Buddha?" ”

At this moment, Wujing interjected, "Master, let's hurry in." According to international practice, blocking the city gate is a very impolite behavior, and it may cause a mass incident at any time!"

Fighting in a daze is not Xuanzang's style of dealing with the world, so as soon as he gave an order, everyone entered the city. As soon as they entered the city, they sensed that the situation was abnormal. I saw that the city was sparsely populated, the streets were dilapidated, and all the restaurants were closed.

Bajie grabbed a pedestrian and asked, "Brother, why are all the restaurants in your city closed?"

The passer-by said, "Elders, you must have come from afar, right? Our Fengxian County has been in drought for many years, and there is the most shortage of food, so all the restaurants have long been closed." ”

Xuanzang asked: "Since there has been a drought for many years, then we should ask the mage to ask for rain!"

The man said: "Who said that we don't ask for rain! Our county marquis asks for rain every year, but we can't ask for it!"

Wukong said happily: "Oh, Lao Sun's business has come to the door again! Dude, where is your county marquis's rain list hanging up?"

The man said, "It's hanging next to the bell tower in front of me." ”

Everyone thanked them and moved on.

Bajie said: "Brother, this time I have to rely on you! If it doesn't rain, we will all starve." ”

Wukong said loudly: "Don't worry! Rest assured! This little thing like asking for rain is wrapped up in Senior Brother and I!"

After a while, before coming to the bell tower, I saw a list of texts. The gist of the article is that Fengxian County has been in drought for many years, the rivers have been cut off, the grains have not been harvested, and the people are not able to make a living.

After reading it, Wukong directly revealed the list. The little official next to him who was guarding the list saw that someone had unveiled the list, so he asked, "Do you dare to ask a few elders if they are here to ask for rain?"

Wukong said: "We unveiled the list, so naturally we came to ask for rain!"

The little official was overjoyed and said, "Since several elders have this magical power, please go with me to see Lord Junhou." ”

Bajie said: "Lead the way, hurry up!"

Wujing smiled: "The second senior brother will change sex!"

Wukong laughed and said, "The happiness of his temperament is determined by the degree of hunger in his stomach!"

Everyone laughed and followed the officials to the county marquis's mansion.

In the county marquis's mansion, everyone saw the lord of Fengxian County.

The marquis of the county was very respectful and polite, and when he saw Xuanzang and the others, he bowed his head and begged everyone to do it as soon as possible.

Xuanzang immediately looked like a virtuous monk, stepped forward to help the county marquis and said: "How can the county lord perform this great gift, it really torments the poor monk!"

Bajie said: "There is no need for etiquette, it's just that our master and apprentice are tired and want to beg for tea." ”

The marquis understood and immediately ordered the servants to watch the tea and prepare the meal.

After a while, the meal was served, and Bajie and Wujing ate and drank in large quantities, and rested until they were full.

After eating, everyone began to drink tea and chat again. Xuanzang said: "Lord Junhou, how many years has it been dry here?"

The marquis said: "Alas, we have been in drought here for three years, and the land is a crack in the drought. ”

Xuanzang said: "Then a lot of people starved to death, right?"

The marquis said: "Yes, many people have starved to death. If you can ask for rain, Xiaohou is willing to give a gift of gold as a reward. ”

Wukong smiled: "Buddhism has a rule, this money cannot be collected. If it is accepted, it is equivalent to accepting bribes. As for asking for rain, I'll send you a heavy rain. ”

Xuanzang said: "What my apprentice said is right. Buddhist disciples seek merit, not money. ”

Oh, you don't ask for anything in return for doing good deeds, you really have to be a good person.

When the marquis heard this, he was deeply moved, and bowed down again and said: "The elders are merciful, and the people of the county are the officials of the county, and I thank you for the great kindness of the elders. ”

Wukong said: "Don't say such things, please get up quickly! I will ask for rain for you now." ”

He turned his head to the two of Bajie and said, "You are so good to protect Master, I will come when I go." With that, he rode the auspicious clouds, flew into the air, recited the mantra, and summoned the dragon king. Not long after, the old dragon of the East China Sea came in a cloud.

The old dragon said: "Oh, great sage brother, we haven't seen each other for many years!"

Wukong said: "I haven't seen you for many years! Old Dragon, I'm going to disturb you this time." ”

The old dragon said, "Do you want to summon me to do the rain?"

Wukong said: "Yes, I want to ask you about it." ”

The old dragon said: "This thing is difficult to do. ”

Wukong Qi said: "Aren't you the dragon god who specializes in rain? don't tell me that you can't do this little thing!"

Lao Long said: "Brother Xian, you don't know anything! If it were any other place, I would sell you this face, but this Fengxian County is really not good." ”

Wukong said: "It seems that there is a story!"

Lao Long said: "This county guard of Fengxian County has a big problem!"

Wukong said: "Is there really a story?"

Lao Long said: "Isn't it! What he offended was not an ordinary immortal, but the Jade Emperor and his old man." ”

Wukong was even more strange: "Although he is the prince of a county, how can he say that he is just a mortal, right? One is a mortal, and the other is the supreme leader of the Three Realms. Two people with such a huge disparity in status, they can't fight together, right?"
