The old dragon said: "This matter is a bit long. ”

Wukong said: "Okay, I'll listen to you." ”

Lao Long said: "Once the Jade Emperor inspected the people in various places in the lower realm, and happened to see this county marquis knocking down the fasting offerings used to sacrifice to the heavens and feeding the dogs. Not only that, but he was still scolding and scolding at that time, which attracted the wrath of the Jade Emperor. In the end, the Jade Emperor issued an edict prohibiting anyone from doing rain in Fengxian County. ”

Wukong said: "How long is it forbidden to rain? Is there no time limit?"

Lao Long said: "The Jade Emperor set up a twenty-zhang high rice mountain in the Heavenly Court Phi Xiang Palace, and there was a chicken slowly pecking at the bottom of the rice mountain, and a twenty-zhang high face mountain, and a puppy was slowly licking and eating under the face mountain. When they have eaten the rice mountain and faced the mountain, they can make it rain. ”

Wukong said: "When will it be?"

The old dragon said: "One day in the sky, one year in the nether, you can count it yourself!"

Wukong exclaimed, "I'll it! This Jade Emperor is too bad!"

The Dragon King said: "Great Sage, you think, if mortals don't respect the gods, why should the gods bless mortals?"

Wukong thought for a while and said, "Well, then the old dragon, you can go back first, I'll have another idea." ”

The dragon king took his leave and returned to the East China Sea. Wukong returns to the county marquis' mansion to report the situation.

Xuanzang asked, "My lord, what I said in vain is the truth?"

The marquis said ashamedly: "What Elder Sun said is true. I did knock down the offering table and summon the dogs to eat the offerings. ”

Xuanzang said earnestly: "My lord, how can you do such a stupid thing? ”

The marquis said: "Elder, there is really another secret in this. In the past three years, every time I thought about this, I felt ashamed, but unfortunately I couldn't find a way to explain it to the gods. ”

Xuanzang said: "You angered the gods and caused the gods to be unblessed, is there any reason to talk about it?"

Junhou said: "One day three years ago, my wife lost money playing mahjong, so she lost her temper at home and made a lot of noise. I was upset by her argument, so I scolded back, and then knocked down the offering table and spilled the offerings. Alas, to put it bluntly, it was such a small family dispute that caused it. ”

Xuanzang said: "But now that the gods say that you have taken the tribute to feed the dogs, how can you do this? This is simply an insult to the gods of Chiguoguo." ”

The county marquis hurriedly explained: "Misunderstanding! Misunderstanding! The actual situation is like this: I had an argument with my wife at that time, and then there was a short-term PK incident. In the process of this grab, I was pushed by her, and my head was caught in the door, and then my brain immediately short-circuited. As soon as the brain short-circuited, the mind became confused. ”

Xuanzang said: "So you let the dog eat the tribute?"

At that time, I thought it was a shameful act to waste food, so I did that kind of foolish thing. I didn't think about it that much, but it was a strange thought that popped into my head. ”

Xuanzang said: "Nerve short circuit! Temporary neuropathy!"

Later, when I came to my senses, it was already too late. ”

Xuanzang said: "Then did you go to the doctor to issue a certificate at that time?"

Junhou Qi said: "It's just a little family dispute, that is, I was caught by my wife with a few red marks on my face, what proof do you have?"

Xuanzang said: "But your brain is caught by the door!"

The marquis asked a little embarrassed, "So what?"

Xuanzang said: "Neuropathy! Neuropathy is exempt from responsibility! At that time, you did that kind of heart-wrenching thing in a state of mental abnormality." As long as the evidence is sufficient, it can be exonerated from liability!"

Wake up the dreamer in a word!

The marquis got Xuanzang's prompt and suddenly woke up, this is really remorseful!

He choked up and said, "I didn't expect so much at the time, so naturally I didn't go for this examination!"

Xuanzang said: "Alas, Junhou, you do things so brainlessly, even the reincarnation of Da Luo Jinxian can't save you." ”

The marquis said: "Tang Shengsheng, who is wise and wise, why didn't you come earlier! If you had come earlier, the people of Fengxian County would not have to suffer so much!55555......"

Xuanzang said: "It's useless for me to come early! You overturned the offering table, called the dog to come and eat the tribute, and quarreled with your wife at that time, and made obscenities, and just let the Jade Emperor see and hear it! What do you think of the Jade Emperor? How can he not be angry?"

The marquis said, "Yes, yes, the elder blames him. ”

Wukong said: "Junhou, what you said today is true?"

The marquis said: "Every sentence is true! If there is half a lie, let the five thunders blow up!"

Wukong said: "You are doing this, I don't know how many people are tired!"

The county marquis said: "The lower officials know that they are guilty, but the people of this county are innocent." And ask the elders to say a few more kind words to the gods for the sake of the hungry people. ”

Wukong saw that he understood the situation almost completely, so he coughed twice. Xuanzang understood what he meant, and said: "My lord, the poor monk has traveled far here, and he is a little sleepy. As for asking for rain, please let me discuss it later. ”

The marquis also knows that the matter is big, and he dares to be verbose there. He said respectfully: "A few elders should rest early, don't be in a hurry about praying for rain, don't be in a hurry." ”

Bajie said: "It's not that you're not in a hurry, but you can't be in a hurry at all!

Wukong said: "Bajie, don't scare Lord Junhou anymore, let's go back to the room and rest first." ”

The marquis led everyone to the guest room with trepidation, and then bowed down and left.

In the guest room, Xuanzang said: "Apprentices, it's time to speak freely again, let's talk about our opinions." ”

Wukong said: "Master, what do you say this immortal pays the most attention to?"

Xuanzang said: "Face?"

Wukong said: "Face can't be eaten as food! The gods pay the most attention to incense." The Jade Emperor has raised a large group of subordinates, if there is no incense, the whole heavenly court will not be chaotic? Besides, he still has to raise a foodie like Marshal Tianpeng, this idiot knows to flirt with beautiful women when he is full, what do you say is the use of raising it?"

Bajie said angrily: "Brother Monkey, why are you scolding each other around the corner!"

Wukong said: "What I said is true!"

Bajie disagreed: "Old pig, I am skilled in bows and horses, especially good at boats, and even more proficient in underwater warfare. ”

Wukong was just about to reply, but Xuanzang interrupted: "Wukong, let's get down to business, don't provoke Bajie." ”

Wujing said: "I think this Jade Emperor is extremely unkind!"

Xuanzang said: "Why is he not kind?"

Wujing said: "It's only the county marquis who makes mistakes, the Jade Emperor Lao'er only punishes the county marquis, why do you want to anger those ordinary people?"

Wukong said: "In my personal opinion, although the Jade Emperor did go a little too far, there is also some deeper information hidden in it." ”

Xuanzang said: "You said to listen to it?"

Wukong said: "The county marquis is an example of a county, and his attitude also reflects the lack of attention to the heavenly court by the people of the entire Fengxian County from one side. They relied on the fact that Tianzhu Kingdom was the hometown of the Buddha, and they were snub to the heavenly court, and the Jade Emperor just took advantage of the topic. I think that's more likely. ”

Xuanzang said: "It seems that it is another battle for incense?"

Wukong said: "Think about it: if all the mortals in the Nether Realm are like this marquis, how can the Heavenly Court still be mixed? Not to mention the Heavenly Court, even if it is a Buddhist sect, it also needs a lot of incense." Although we, the grassroots personnel of Buddhism, are not allowed to receive gifts, the incense money from the major branches is indispensable. Because the Buddha also has to feed a large group of subordinates, especially a foodie like his uncle, who can eat more than the Eight Precepts. ”

Wujing said: "Then why is the Buddha unwilling to stand up for his hometown?"

Wukong said: "This is not his Western Heaven Elysium, after all, it is still under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Court, and the Buddha naturally can't say anything." ”

Wujing said: "Then what should we do?"

Wukong said: "As the saying goes, don't stretch out your hand and don't hit the smiling person! Now that Heavenly Court's attitude towards us has changed more and more, and even helped us a few times, we are embarrassed to say that we will turn our faces, right? ”

Wujing asked, "How do you get soft?"

Wukong said: "Negotiate and be reasonable." ”

Xuanzang said: "How sure are you?"

Wukong said: "The point of this negotiation is: to seize the moral high ground! As long as it is seized, the negotiation will be won." ”

Bajie said: "Brother Monkey, do you want to negotiate with the Jade Emperor?"

Wukong said: "This punishment decision was made by the Jade Emperor, of course, I negotiated with him." This time to go to Heaven, at most for half a year, at least for a month, you two good students protect the master. ”

Xuanzang said: "Wukong, if you wait for another three months, I don't know how many people will starve to death." ”

Wukong said: "Master, Bajie is a pillar of the world, you can make full use of his strengths, and you can save as many people as you can." After all, the strength of our team is limited, and it is impossible to save the people of the whole world. Besides, the cycle of life and death also has its own laws, which are often not something that human beings can barely achieve. It's a big deal to wait until this happens, and the master will make a puja and give birth to surpass them. ”

Bajie said: "That's what I said, and I actually got myself into it!"

Wukong said: "You are a good laborer, and you can control the clouds." It's not too hard for you to deliver some food, is it? I didn't ask you to save the whole county, just do what you can. ”

Bajie complained: "Let me do coolies again." Every time I encounter this situation, Brother Monkey can't forget me!"

Xuanzang said: "Gongguo! Gongguo!"

Bajie said: "I know! You said that if you can transport all the persimmons from the Seven Peerless Mountains back then to make persimmons and eat, it will basically be enough for the people of the whole county to eat for one or two months." ”

Wujing said: "Eat persimmons three times a day! Don't say too much, let you eat for half a month, I promise you don't want to eat persimmons for the rest of your life!"

Xuanzang said: "It's important to save people, so don't talk nonsense." Wukong, you go and come back quickly, this matter of Fengxian County, it is up to me and Bajie to figure out a way. ”

Wukong obeyed the order and flew to heaven in a somersault cloud.

At the gate of the South Heavenly Gate, the King of Heaven and the wrestlers saw Wukong coming, and they couldn't help but immediately raise their vigilance.

Wukong said: "Brothers, I have something to do to see the Jade Emperor." ”

Although Wukong spoke politely, everyone didn't dare to stop him at all, and let him go straight in. He couldn't be more familiar with the path of Heavenly Court, and he came directly to the outside of Lingxiao Palace.

When the Four Great Heavenly Masters saw him coming, they hurriedly went inside to report it. The Jade Emperor was deliberating, and as soon as he heard that Wukong was coming, he asked Jin Xing: "Aiqing, look, this monkey is stirring up trouble again!"

Jin Xing said: "Your Majesty, he should be here for the affairs of Fengxian County." ”

The Jade Emperor asked, "Then how should I deal with it?"

Jin Xing said: "Your Majesty, this is a major matter of incense, you can't let go at will, you have to fight for more benefits." ”

The Jade Emperor said happily: "Aiqing's words are very lonely, we must not let that monkey succeed easily! Xuan Sun Wukong entered the palace to see him!"
