In the twenty-sixth round, he stole the windbag to remove the water, but fortunately Liu Meng shook the locust plague

Climbing the stairs to talk and laugh, the yellow cranes compete and dance.

Even if there is only one song in this life, it must be passed on to the poet and immortal.

Last time, it was said that the Jade Emperor selected the immortals of the water department, then Hou You bluntly admonished to clear the grievances for stealing the extinguished soil, everyone was shocked, although the heart was happy, if it provoked the wrath of the saint, there would be one less person to compete for wealth, but if the Jade Emperor was angry, it would also affect himself. Therefore, there are also people who intercede for Houyou and ask the Jade Emperor to forgive him for the crime of ignorance. The Jade Emperor asked: "If everyone imitates the behavior of the duck, wouldn't the heavenly court be all the thieves of chickens and dogs?" Then he said: "As the saying goes, 'The lord is ignorant and the minister is dark, and the upper is clear and the lower is clear', if the heavens can be at peace with mortals, then it will not be so." The crowd squinted and swam backwards, not daring to speak. The Jade Emperor asked: "Zhongqing, who agrees with what Fang Cai Houqing said?" Others are unspeakable, only Liu Bo and Cao Xi came out and said: "Your Majesty, although the minister can't fully agree, he also feels innocent." ”

Pei Man observed the words and said: "Your Majesty, Hou You and the other three ignore the laws of the heavenly court, and cry out for the unforgivable, they do have a bad heart, and they should be guilty of the same crime. Two or three people seconded the motion.

The Jade Emperor said: "I have already said that today's discussion is only about it, regardless of anything else, don't say anything." Hou You, Liu Bo, Cao Xi, Zhang Chong, Li Ze, Yu Yu, Zhang Leng and other seven people, indeed have the heart of loyalty to the king and love the people, and the ability to stabilize the country. Yu Qing returned home first, remember to fulfill his duties, not to waste government affairs, and to make meritorious achievements in the future, and also to be promoted. In today's discussion, the secretaries and others must not take revenge privately, otherwise we will not be spared. And they were commanded.

The remaining seven people worshiped the Jade Emperor's cultivation grace. The Jade Emperor said: "Qing and others are flat. I have always been fair, but those who are talented and virtuous, regardless of dignity or inferiority, must be promoted, but those who are loyal and righteous, regardless of officials and soldiers, must be reused. "All rejoiced and thanked God.

The Jade Emperor said: "Zhongqing learned that Li Chengdao had been disobedient and perverted the law, changed the ethics of the Three Realms, deceived the heavens and stole the throne, and I was merciful and cruel, and I couldn't bear to cause harm, so I promoted him to be the god of the world. But Li Chengdao got carried away, intensified, did not change his viciousness, and did not act shamelessly, even the gods could not look past it, among them, there was a drought in the lower realm of the female squire, and the people suffered, which was really Li Chengdao's fault. I don't know what kind of high opinion the secretary has, and he can stop the evil of Li Chengdao. ”

That Liu Bo said: "Your Majesty, Li Chengdao is really a traitorous person, although the Jade Emperor has mercy and repays his grievances with virtue, but it is difficult to accept his heart in the end. ”

That Yu Yu said: "Li Chengdao's perverse behavior is not enough to become a god and become holy, and the heavenly court should be sympathetic to the hopes of all the people in the mortal world and treat him for the crime of negligence and dereliction of duty." Everyone agreed.

The Jade Emperor said: "Qing and others are loyal, and I know it. But now that Li Chengdao has been pardoned by the Heavenly Court, and there are important ministers who are complicit with him, it is difficult to shake the fundamentals, I don't know if the ministers have a good plan?"

Li Zeyan said: "Your Majesty, Li Chengdao colluded with others just to use each other, if one party loses power, the momentum of collusion will inevitably disappear." Now, it is necessary to find the person who is weak and punish him first, and the other party is lonely, so it is easy to deal with. ”

Zhang Chongyan said: "Your Majesty, the minister heard that those who become gods, although there is a heavenly pardon, but they must also be believed by the people. It is better to stop the people's belief in Li Thief, although it cannot be seen immediately, but it is a plan to draw wages from the bottom of the kettle. ”

Cao Xi said: "The reason why Li Chengdao is rampant is not only because of his ambition, but also because there are many unrighteous people around him to help. ”

Later, he said: "The Three Realms are not quiet, it is really a dereliction of duty on our courtiers, and the ministers are willing to obey Your Majesty's holy decree, be stubborn, and risk death to capture thieves." ”

The Jade Emperor laughed and said, "If the Heavenly Court is so loyal, why worry about Li Chengdao!" He was awarded the post of envoy to the post-tour of the river, Zhang Chong and Liu Bo were awarded the post of patrolling the river, and Yu Yu, Li Ze, Cao Xi and Zhang Leng were awarded the flood gods of the Quartet.

The Jade Emperor said: "I deeply feel the hearts of the Qings, and should have been treated by high-ranking officials, but there are many tongues in the court, and the Qing and others have no minor merits, and I have to be awarded the title of Seven Grades such as Qing, if there is merit in the future, I will be awarded the title of God." If you can make the Three Realms Antai and Heqing Haiyan, I will be relieved and reused. The crowd came out in thanksgiving.

Everyone was delighted, and they didn't want to be able to ascend to the sky in one day, and they were driven by people to make slaves to work hard to exercise power, so they were all arrogant. When those petty officials saw it, they were also envious of being able to get close to the sky, so they all bent their hearts to welcome them. Cao Xi, Yu Yu, etc. are even more incomprehensible, spending every day and drinking and doing whatever they want. Then Hou You saw it in his eyes and secretly instructed everyone: "Brothers, don't be too public, this officialdom is like an abyss and a sea, if you are not careful, you will enter the land of no return." Although we have received the grace of the Jade Emperor, we are not meritorious people, and if we want to add icing on the cake, we should create another miraculous feat. When everyone heard this, they asked: "In this peaceful and prosperous world, where is the merit to be built?" Liu Bo said: "Although he is comfortable now, the Jade Emperor has a big trouble, that is, Li Chengdao." I might as well wait for Li Chengdao, who is the first merit of the Three Realms!" Zhang said coldly: "What Brother Xian said is very true, but that Li Chengdao's mana is very strong, we are definitely not opponents, and now that he is the Emperor of Heaven, how can we get close to him?" Then Li Ze said: "This is not difficult, we now have the right to control the water of the mortal rivers, if the flood floods Fengming Mountain, the surrounding people will inevitably flee, and no one believes in Li Chengdao, and turns to the heavenly court to help, this is a plan to kill two birds with one stone." That Yu Yu said: "This plan is very good. I'm ready to cast the flood right away. Hou You said: "It's too early to cast the flood, this matter should be considered in the long run, it is better to ...... like this" Everyone listened to the past, and they knew this earth-shattering conspiracy.

When everyone heard this, they went to prepare. After that, swim to the places of the rivers in the mortal world, and order the water officials everywhere, before the Fengming Mountain around the drought for many years, although the female Lu Fu Fa, but the drought has not been solved, the Jade Emperor is sympathetic to the people, so that the Hongjiang River and the big rivers are all changed to here, and the remaining water must not be intercepted, and it must be poured to ensure that the drought is cured. The water officials are small officials and micro officials, and when they saw the heavenly officials' orders, they all wanted to do their best, so they led the water to Fengming Mountain one after another. That Yu Yu, Li Ze and others all sent floods from all directions to Fengming, Zhang Chong and Liu Bo always inspected, but if some water officials failed to apply floods, they had to be whipped. Therefore, within March, the surrounding area of Fengming Mountain was already a vast ocean, and the people fled one after another. When Enlightenment saw this, he couldn't help but be shocked, thinking that the water and fire were ruthless, and the people would be hit hard. Repeatedly summoned all the water officials were not coming, and Chengdao had already expected three points, so he ordered the three princes to meet him, and ordered the Taiwei to immediately transfer troops to capture the surrounding water officials, and punish the crime of changing the river without permission; ordered Situ to go to the water department of the heavenly court in person, and asked the water De Xingjun to recall the flood god; ordered Sikong to return to the heavenly palace with a twist, and asked the Jade Emperor to issue an order to disperse the flood and strictly investigate the crimes of the water officials in the world.

The three of them took the order to go, and Chengdao ordered Yingtian to lead the mountain soldiers to fill in the embankment and build a dam to block the water potential, and ordered Fengyi to lead the mountain soldiers to help the people escape. Ling Ran Min and Death Zhi patrolled on the water and underwater, but when they saw the spirits, they were immediately unforgiving. Everyone took the order and left, but the water was monstrous, and the mountain soldiers were lazy, so they couldn't prevent it at all. However, after more than a month, the people have fled completely, and it coincides with the heavy rain, wind and thunder and earthquake, and the Fengming Mountain is like a hell on earth. Enlightenment summoned Ying Tian, and Ying Tian said: "If the soldiers do not obey the discipline of the ministers today, the ministers have already beheaded the leaders by one or two, but they are afraid that the heavenly soldiers will mutiny, so they dare not kill on a large scale." Cheng Dao said: "Now that the surrounding people have been freed from the sea of suffering, even if the flood does not recede, it is okay, but I don't know how to unload the flood potential." Ying Tianyan said: "The minister had heard that in ancient times, King Yu, the father of King Yu, had stolen the heavenly palace to extinguish the flood disaster, and the extinguishing soil was born in the wind and grew in the water, but the emperor of heaven was furious when he heard it, and ordered Zhu Rong to kill the lower realm, and the corpse was on the ground. After there are hundreds of birds to cover the body of the fish, the king of Dayu gave birth from the belly of the fish, and changed the method of encirclement to dredge, before the flood was solved. When Chengdao heard the section of extinguishing the soil, he had a flash of inspiration and whispered to Fengyi, who brought a lot of wealth and silk and rushed to heaven to find that Situ.

As expected, Situ Ningshi was playing against the gods and goddesses on the sky, so how could he have any leisure to go to the water department. Feng Yi asked Situ to go around with the four immortals of wind, rain, thunder and lightning, and offered many treasures, but the Tao was enlightened and intended to make Situ around. Na Ning Shi saw the wealth, full of joy, and wanted to be free of wind, rain, thunder and lightning, and the flood of Fengming Mountain would be difficult to dissipate, so he walked around the four immortals. Fengyi's rhetoric was attached, Ning Shikao was naturally satisfied, and took Ying Tian to the Fengshen Niangniang's mansion, and after being polite, he bluntly said that he had admired Niangniang's kindness for a long time, and intended to come to visit and other words, so he offered treasures. Although the wind god Niangniang is among the immortal classes, but the world is very small, seeing such a gift, naturally she is also happy, so she used the wind bag to collect the wind of Fengming Mountain. Fengyi saw it in his eyes, and took advantage of the wind god's unpreparedness to steal the wind bag, and the wind god only cared about appreciating the treasure, and he didn't notice it until Ning Shikao and Fengyi left. That Fengyi hurriedly returned to the mountain, dedicated the wind bag to the enlightenment, and the enlightenment used the wind bag to release the wind, and then put the wind bag at the bottom of the water, and then collected the wind back, only to see that the wind did not enter and the water came first, and the flood was all collected, and it was indeed not leaking. However, there is no room for wind collection in the wind bag, so there is a lot of wind and snow in the early Song Dynasty in the world.

Then Houyou and the others saw that there was no trace of the flood, and said that Li Chengdao was really powerful, so he hurriedly reported it, and he didn't want the Shui De Xingjun to be angry and said: "If you can't be ordered by this hall, you will discharge the flood without authorization, what crime should you be guilty of?" Then Houyou didn't want Shangguan to be angry, and said: "The lowly rank is bent on getting rid of Li Chengdao and removing a harm for the heavenly court, so he can do this strategy." Shui De Xingjun said angrily: "For the heavenly court to eliminate harm, you are also worthy of it!" But a small last stream, how dare you boast of such a Haikou? Then Li Chengdao has now played the Jade Emperor, and if he wants to investigate this matter thoroughly, he may even affect the officials of my water department, and this matter is all caused by you, come!" With an angry shout, more than a dozen golden armor gods poured into the hall, and Shui De Xingjun said: "Take off the official uniforms of the seven people and put them in prison for trial!" The seven people only cared about shouting that they were wronged. Later, there was a decree from Shangguan, who demoted Houyou to an official, imprisoned Zhang Chong and Liu Bo, and beheaded Yu Yu, Li Ze, Cao Xi, and Zhang Leng.

Enlightenment is due to the rescue of Tian, Ran Min, Fengyi, and the will of death, etc., and is to be named the Duke of Yingtian, the god of the world, the king of loyalty and righteousness, the god of Fengyi, the earl, and the death of the will to Chongrenbo, each of whom is given a golden pill. The three dukes came to obstruct again, became angry and reprimanded the officials, only to say that when they were in danger, they forgot the identity of the immortal officials, and now they are full of disasters and come to fight for merit. When the people had trouble arguing, they ceased to speak. That Li Chengdao saw that the flood was very big, and the heavenly court was only looking for some nameless people to replace him, and he didn't understand the hatred in his heart, and wanted to go to the heavenly court to comment, the god of justice said: "The emperor can't, go like this, the teacher is nameless, and his subordinates steal the wind bag, this matter is easy to detect, and now it's better to leave it at that." Enlightenment pondered for a moment, and then ordered Situ Ning Shikao to prepare a heavy gift and go to the mansion of the four gods of wind, rain, thunder and lightning to thank him, and the god of enlightenment accompanied him and put the wind bag in the gift box. In fact, Fengshen Niangniang had long noticed the loss of the wind bag, and suspected that it was done by Ning Shikao, but to collect people and property, after all, her hands were short, and she didn't dare to report it to the heavenly court, and she only hoped that she would go back after the flood, and she didn't want that Situ to come in person, so she put down the gift and left, after all, the god escorted her, and she didn't dare to deduct it from it. The wind god Niangniang saw the wind bag in the box, and concluded that it was Ning Shikao's doing, secretly hated, thinking about revenge, this is a later story.

After the drought and flood, there were no people for thousands of miles around Fengming Mountain, and the people were sent to the Lord to migrate from the densely populated places. At that time, it was the period of five dynasties and ten kingdoms, and the people of each country were weak and did not dare to disobey, so they had to obey the order, although the people were reluctant, they were also unable to. When the people come here for spring plowing and autumn harvest, seeing that the land is fertile, after a few months, it has become a granary, that is, when they are about to receive production, they do not want to flood the locust plague at this time, the locusts are overwhelming, but there is green and gnawed a light. The people complained and patrolled the fields day and night, but they could not stop the locusts. The locust had wings, but when they saw a man coming, they moved away, but when they saw them go, they returned. The people worshipped the temple of the eight waxes and begged the gods to lure away the locust plague. Seeing this, the heavens urgently reported enlightenment, and enlightenment was to convene all officials to discuss countermeasures. The Taiwei Ren said without other words: "The minister heard that the locusts are the transformation of lonely souls and wild ghosts, and they devour the world, and now the locusts around Fengming Mountain are raging, and the emperor should blame himself for it, and ask God to punish him." Since the flood and drought disaster, Chengdao has gradually regarded Sangong as a thorn in his side, but he has no plan, so he once tolerated it, and now his words, although it is right, are also offended, so he is displeased: "Since he has been in charge of the world, he has done his best, and there is no place that is not for the peace of the Three Realms and the prosperity of the people, but please ask Taiwei to blame Lone's fault." That Situ Ning Shikao hurriedly said: "Emperor, although the Taiwei is speechless, he is planning for the emperor, and please don't be surprised." "The anger of enlightenment has not subsided, so Situ Ning Shikao is ready to sacrifice to the heavens and confess his sins.

After the dispersal of the dynasty, Enlightenment ordered people to send a decree to the eight wax gods to come to the audience. Recruit the gods of the world and the gods, and let the gods of the world send the four spirits, send birds and insects to exterminate the locusts, and order the gods to send more soldiers to help the people and protect the food. I don't want the eight wax gods to be in the temple, and I can't find them everywhere. And the lord of the people was afraid of the invasion of other countries, so he only sent some old and weak soldiers to help. Under this catastrophe, only a large number of birds came, and it was not enough to deter.

At the time of enlightenment and sorrow, the rabbit in the moon came to report: Liu Meng, a general in the mortal world, is known for his bravery, and once used a strategy to annihilate the invasion of thieves, so that the thieves were frightened. Enlightenment agreed, ordered the god to preach the lord, named Liu Meng as the general of Yangwei, and led the troops to shake the locusts on the same day.

And said that Liu Meng led the order in a hurry, and the army set up camp at night, and saw the method of exterminating insects given by an immortal in his sleep, Liu Meng had an epiphany, and ordered his soldiers to prepare more honey and stay in the locust area, and saw that the locusts covered the sky and the sun, so that there was no grass on the ground. Liu Meng saw it, he was also horrified, and hurriedly used the plan of the gods in the dream to boil honey and smear it all over the tree, the locusts saw the honey and swarmed, but they stuck to the tree layer by layer, Liu Meng proclaimed: "The locusts enter the country, gradually eat the Jiahe, and the gods of Ryle will be cut off", and gather troops to annihilate it. Reuse this method to finally sweep away the locust plague. Enlightenment thanked Liu Meng for his loyalty and bravery, and was named Yang Weihou. Later, the Eight Wax God recruited ten thousand insects to make a comeback, and Chengdao reinstated Liu Meng to lead troops to supervise and suppress, so as to deter. Enlightenment is to kill the eight wax gods, and crown Liu Meng as the king of insects, and be sacrificed for all generations. There is also a temple of the insect king in the world, and the temple gate is "Crouching Tiger protects the rock frontier, and the mad Kou does not teach the horse to return; Enlightenment is sparse, and the heavenly court is asked to give Ran Min, Fengyi, Death Zhi, Liu Meng and others the divine status, the heavenly court has not replied for a long time, Chengdao is indignant, and then connected two twists and turns, the Jade Emperor saw it, and took advantage of the time when the East Kitchen Division ordered the nine orders of the Yuan King Dingfu Shenjun to go to heaven to report on his work, and asked: "Zhang Aiqing, that Li Chengdao has repeatedly suffered disasters in the world, but I don't know how mortals talk about it?" That Dingfu Shenjun is the Stove King, and said: "Although the world has experienced drought and flood locust plagues, it is already unharmed thanks to the grace of heaven and the favor of His Majesty." Many mortals don't know that there is Li Chengdao, but everyone who knows it mostly talks about Li Chengdao's respect for the Jade Emperor's holy decree, the lower realm to protect the country and the people, and cut off the calamity. Now there are people in the mortal world who worship Li Chengdao, and Luanmen also has offerings, which are above the three benefactors. When the Jade Emperor heard this, he was shocked and dismissed the stove king, thinking secretly why this Li Chengdao had such prestige? When he heard the report of the three princes of Hengyuan Palace, he only said that it was difficult to issue a decree, but how could he enter the people's house? The people's house was guarded by five people, the stove god, the door god, the well god, the toilet god, and the middle slip god, but Li Chengdao was able to trespass, wouldn't there be a festival of collusion and secret permission? That stove king was the head of the five gods and the head of the family, and it was really a dereliction of duty to do so. At this time, Wu De Xingjun said: "Your Majesty, that stove monarch came to heaven and only said good things and did not complain about evil deeds, he must have been bribed by the world." Her appearance is like a beauty, and her appearance is Pan An, which may make it difficult to protect the weathering of the people's homes. There has long been a saying in the world that "rather than flattering in the Ao, rather flattering in the stove", although the world is wide, the god of faith is very different, but the people who worship the stove in the world are the same. Even if it is the lord of the people, who is above the king of the stove, there are many worshippers, and the pardon decrees are 'the third official resignation, the fourth civil resignation, and the fifth resignation of the Deng family'. The prosperity of folk sacrifice is better than that of other gods. When the Jade Emperor heard this, he was very indignant, but the stove monarch was an ancient god, and now he was deeply believed by the people, and he was helpless for a while.

The Jade Emperor thought about it and rewarded Fengyi with the divine status, but because Ran Min and the catastrophe of death were not completed, he would not be awarded for the time being, and Liu Meng was still young and should continue to practice. Because the rabbit in the moon once recommended Liu Meng for Li Chengdao, Cao Guan passed on the decree, so that "men do not worship the moon, women do not worship the stove", which is a later story.

As the saying goes, "the snipe and the clam fight, and the fisherman profits", when the heavenly court and Li Chengdao were in dispute, the Jade Emperor in order to punish Li Chengdao, secretly sent the Western Taiji Emperor to drive the eight marshals to the heavenly palace garrison, resulting in the emptiness of the West, taking advantage of this golden opportunity, the Western religion took the opportunity to enter the Central Plains to preach, the Jade Emperor took the opportunity to lose the other, but also helpless.

In fact, as early as hundreds of years ago, the Western religion spread to the east, when the heavenly court was unable to subdue Sun Wukong, the Jade Emperor ordered Yi Sheng Zhenjun and You Yi Lingguan to invite the Western Buddha to help, and the Buddha used the Five Elements Mountain to suppress Sun Wukong and shock the heavenly court. The Jade Emperor was afraid that Sun Wukong would make a comeback, so he acquiesced in the Western teachings. In fact, as early as the Eastern Han Dynasty, after Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty Liu Xiu revived the Han Dynasty, his son Liu Zhuang ascended the throne, and once stayed in the South Palace overnight, dreaming that a golden-topped god with a height of six zhang came from the west to preach Buddhism. Subsequently, Liu Zhuang sent Cai Su, Qin Jing and others to the Western Regions to worship the Buddha and seek scriptures. When the Buddha saw that the royal envoy of Middle-earth had arrived, he ordered the high monks Gyala Morteng and Zhu Falan to go to Middle-earth to preach the Dharma. After three years, everyone returned to Luoyang from the Dayue clan, carrying the Buddhist scriptures with a white horse, and the lord Liu Zhuang was very happy, and built a monastery in the north of the three-mile royal road outside the Xiyong Gate of the capital. Because the two monks had temporarily lived in Honglu Temple, and it was the White Horse Sutra, so the ancestral court of Buddhism in Middle Earth, the source of the two interpretations was named the White Horse Temple. In the following 100 years, Western monks continued to come to translate the scriptures, translating 192 scriptures and 395 volumes. However, the heavenly court was displeased, and told the world not to believe in paganism, and Confucianism was also angry, declaring that "the body is skinned, and the parents who receive it dare not destroy it", and forbade students from all over the world to enter the Buddha's house. Therefore, after 200 years, when the Three Kingdoms were in turmoil, the lord could not obey the world, and the ritual collapsed, so Zhu Shixing of the Middle Earth clan was ordained and converted, and the law name was "Eight Commandments", known as Zhu Bajie.

The White Horse Temple is blessed by the Buddhists, and it is naturally the peak of incense, and the people who worship the Buddha are endless. The original spirits and demons in Middle-earth, because they could not be looked down upon by the heavenly court, so they also went to listen to the scriptures, and the Western religion was happy to spread to the east, not to choose the category, nor to refuse, but did not want to lead to a period of killing. Exactly: Shi Jiahong preaches kindness, how can the world not be kind.

I don't know what the aftermath is, and let's see the next breakdown.
