Let's take a look at Fengxian County's prayer for rain list first:
"The marquis of Fengxian County of the Great Tianzhu State, for the list of hiring masters, recruiting great dharma, because the county land is broad, the army and the people are solid, the drought has been high for many years, the drought has been exhausted, the land is thin and the army is thin, the river is shallow and the ditch is empty. There is no water in the well, there is no food at the bottom of the spring, the rich talk about their whole lives, and the poor people can hardly survive. The price of 100 gold is 5 taels of salary. A ten-year-old woman is easy to get three liters, and a five-year-old man is brought with him. The city fears the law, pawns clothes and pawns to survive, and the countryside bullies the public, robs and eats people and cares for their lives. For this reason, he gave the list of essays, relying on the sages of the ten directions, praying for rain to save the people, and repaying his kindness. I am willing to thank you with a thousand gold, and I will never lie to the list. ”
Now everyone's living standards are high, many people are urban hukou, do not know what drought is, the author is a rural person, every wheat harvest and autumn harvest often go home to harvest crops, if the rain or watering is good in time and the weather is good, corn can produce 1,000 catties per acre, this year is okay, it is estimated that it can hit about 1,200 catties, more than seven cents per catty, can be sold for eight or nine hundred yuan.
In '97, when the author was 12 years old, the flood in our country was more than two meters deep, the corn was flooded to the sky cherry blossoms, and the crops in many fields were out of production.
There are also those droughts, rains and messy, in the past 30 years, an acre of land is less than 600 catties many times, seeds, fertilizers, pesticides, ploughing machine money, just these are hundreds of yuan, not to mention the labor, but also lose money.
My grandmother (grandmother) fled from HB to SD, because of the famine to have my mother and me, I also heard my uncle and grandfather talk about it, the famine years were more terrible, the aquatic plants in the water, the bark, the leaves, all that can be eaten are gnawed clean, in order to live.
This is just a natural disaster, the son-in-law did not starve to death, and I didn't see a few starving to death, then Fengxian County was a man-made disaster, just because the county marquis fed Zhaitian Sugong to the dogs, the ten-year-old woman Yi Mi three liters, and the five-year-old man took it with someone.
Who doesn't have a younger brother or sister and children, a ten-year-old girl can exchange five or six catties of rice, which reminds the son-in-law of the poem, I believe that giving birth to a man is evil, but it is good to give birth to a girl, and a girl still has to marry a neighbor, and a boy is buried with a hundred grasses. Don't say cruelty, you sell your child for three liters of rice, and if you can take out three liters of rice, at least you can eat, and you can always let your child drink soup, right? With your own only starvation, in that era, maybe selling your child or giving it away was the pain for the child, who knows? Anyway, it's not what everyone who treats children as treasures can imagine now.
In Fengxian County, Wukong's performance is too poor, no wonder so many people suspect that the real Monkey King died after the real and false Monkey King, and Tang Seng is also very scummy, tell me the reason.
After reading the list text, Tang Seng and Wukong had a conversation.
Sanzang said: "Apprentices, talk casually." That (where? People's Literature Publishing House, Typographical error, or what?) will beg for rain, and ask for a sweet rain with him, so as to help the people, this is a good thing; if not, just do it, don't miss walking. ”
Let's talk about Tang Seng first, see no, there is a sentence on it, 'If you can't, it's okay, don't miss walking.' 'Not to mention anything else, there was such a period when Che Chiguo was fighting with the three national teachers.
The practitioner got the order, hurriedly withdrew to the altar, and pulled Tang Seng and said, "Master, please come to the stage." Tang Seng said: "Apprentice, I don't know how to pray for rain." Bajie smiled: "He hurt you." If it hasn't rained yet, take the firewood and set the account on fire!" The walker said: "You won't ask for rain, you can chant the scriptures, and wait for me to help you." Then the elder stepped up to the altar, went to the top, sat down upright, returned to God, and recited the Mita Heart Sutra silently. As he was sitting, he suddenly saw an official, and Pegasus came and asked, "Then monk, why don't you hit the token and burn the talisman?" The walker replied in a loud voice: "No! No! "The official went back and forth.
There is a passage in the back, 'This rain, since the hour of the hour, has only (straight personal habits, deep suspicion!) to fall until around noon.' ’
The hour is from 7 o'clock to 9 o'clock in the morning, and the noon time is from 11 o'clock to 1 o'clock at noon, which is at least two hours, Tang Seng is begging for rain on the high altar of three zhang (nine meters), and he has been drenched in the torrential rain for two hours, and he should be deeply impressed, right? That's what he thinks.
Let's talk about Wukong, Tang Seng asked and then had a paragraph.
The walker said: "It is very difficult to pray for rain! My old grandson turned over the river and the sea, changed the bucket and moved the stars, kicked the sky and made the well, spit out the fog and sprayed the clouds, carried the mountains to catch the moon, and called for the rain and the wind: then (which is not what the Ming Dynasty said so?) is not a young man's business! What is the rarity!"
And this paragraph.
After fasting, Tang Seng thanked the fast, but asked: Lord Junhou, how long has it been the drought in your place?"
We are a big state in Tianzhu Kingdom, and I am a pastor in Fengxian County.
For three consecutive years, there was a drought and famine, and the grass did not grow grains.
It is difficult for people of all sizes to buy and sell, and nine households in ten doors are crying.
Three stops starved to death and two stopped people, and one stop was like a candle in the wind.
The lower officials are all over the list to seek talents, and they are fortunate to meet real monks to come to our country.
If you give an inch of rain to help the people, I am willing to be rewarded with a thousand gold!"
When the traveler heard this, his face was full of joy, and he smiled and said: "Don't say! Don't say! If you say that the daughter is a thank you, there will be no rain at all." But in terms of accumulating merits, Lao Sun will send you a heavy rain. ”
Summoned the Dragon King of the East China Sea, and the Dragon King asked Wukong to go to the Heavenly Palace to ask for rain, and the heavens saw the King of Heaven, and the King of Heaven said, 'It shouldn't rain in that wallroom,'
Well, Wukong didn't know what this meant, and then met with the four Celestial Masters.
The Four Heavenly Masters said, "It shouldn't rain on that side. The walker smiled: "Should or shouldn't, bother to play and play, see what the old grandson is like." ”
Later, when he came to the Phi Xiang Palace, Wukong saw the golden lock of Mishan Mian Mountain.
Wukong didn't know what he meant, so he turned around and asked the Celestial Master, "What does this mean?"
The Heavenly Master said: "That guy has violated the heavens, the Jade Emperor set up these three things, only wait for the chicken to choke the rice, the dog to eat the face, and the lamp to break the lock, then it should rain." ”
When the walker heard this, he was shocked and did not dare to start again. He walked out of the temple with a face full of shame.
told the marquis of the county about the three things of the Jade Emperor, and the marquis of the county bowed to the ground and mourned: "But with the teacher's advice, the lower officials will take refuge one by one." The practitioner said: "If you turn your heart to goodness and recite the Buddha and read the scriptures as soon as possible, I will do it for you; if you still do not change, I will not be able to explain it, and soon the day will punish you, and your life will not be saved." ”
Fengxian County stopped three and killed two people, one stop is like a candle in the wind, Wukong heard that what the hell is full of joy?
He smiled and said, "...... But in terms of accumulating merits, Lao Sun will send you a heavy rain. "And he laughed, did it rain for the sake of fame?
The gods in the sky took it for granted that we should not talk about it, and Wukong was shocked and full of shame. Is this still our Monkey King? He also advised the marquis to return to his heart and read the scriptures as soon as possible, is this still our Monkey King?
The author still has some doubts, even if the marquis offends the Jade Emperor, there is a bird for reciting the Buddha and reading the scriptures? Worship the wrong god? Or is the Jade Emperor a doppelganger? Just don't worship the Jade Emperor and worship the Buddha?
Just because the two princes of the county were angry and mistakenly pushed down Zhaitian Sugong to feed the dogs, the gods were angry, and tens of thousands of people died in a county, what is the use of worshipping such a god?
There is also the Shangguan Junhou, who Wukong met along the way, up to the emperor, down to the ordinary people, and most of the mouths when they saw Wukong Bajie were monsters.
When the marquis saw Tang Seng, he was not afraid of his apprentice's ugliness, so he bowed down and said: "Xiaguan is the Shangguan clan of Fengxian County, and he asked the teacher to pray for rain to save the people." Hope that the teacher will be compassionate, carry out divine skills, pull out help, pull out help!"
The man has gold under his knees, not to mention that this is a big official of the territory, at this time, I don't know that the three-year drought is because of myself, in order to ask for rain and for the people, I can kneel without face, why haven't we met such a good official, I am helpless when I think of my bag of instant noodles!
