Chapter 246: Receiving the Tao and Helping Much
Besides, this Dragon King of the South China Sea, Ao Guang, is an expert in flattery, and all the immortals call him an old man.
Because whenever he had the opportunity to get close to the Jade Emperor, he touted the merits of the Jade Emperor, and did not forget to speak ill of others, so as to elevate himself and reap the benefits of venting his personal anger and revenge on others.
Some time ago, Ao Guang was rectified by the people there because his youngest son was rampant in Tiantianping District.
Ao Guang held a grudge, did not follow the rules of the sky to spread clouds and rain, created a drought in Tiantianping District, was exposed by the Ganggang Fairy Gu and Sister Baihua Fairy in front of the Jade Emperor, and was confirmed by the Northern Emperor, holding a grudge and determined to find an opportunity to take revenge.
On the one hand, he hid in the Tiantianping District to create a drought, and on the other hand, he slandered them in front of the Jade Emperor.
The Jade Emperor ruled the Three Realms, and at first he was relatively fair, and he was more disgusted with the people and things that touted him.
Later, the Jade Emperor got used to it after listening to it too much.
Later, not only did the more I listened, the more comfortable I became, the more I listened to it, the more I loved it, and I also thought that it was rare and strange not to like to listen to flattery before.
One day, the Jade Emperor asked Ao Guang about the recent rain, and he pretended to be full of grievances, as if he had a bitter word.
The Jade Emperor asked what was going on, and Ao Guang took the opportunity to say: "Your Majesty has given you the responsibility of spreading clouds and rain, and you should have done things according to the rules of heaven, but someone interfered with the implementation!" ”
The Jade Emperor asked again: "Who eats leopard gall and dares to break the rules of heaven?" ”
Ao Guang said: "Your Majesty, who else dares to be so presumptuous in this matter? She is the Gangxian who holds the magic weapon herself, and she has a group of brothers to support, and the backstage boss supports her. ”
The Jade Emperor asked: "What kind of magic weapon is the Gang Immortal relying on?" Who are her henchmen? And who's behind the scenes? You play it all for me. ”
Ao Guang said: "Your Majesty, the magic weapon of the Gangxian is an umbrella. This umbrella has a great origin, it was originally Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor after the ancestor's thing, when the ancestor taught the people to plant mulberry and raise silkworms, spinning and weaving cloth made a great contribution, Hongjun ancestor personally approved the ancestor to sew a cloth umbrella, when going out, sunny days are used as shades, rainy days are used as rain protection. After the death of the ancestor, the Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor sent her to Lingnan in order to let the ancestor inherit the cause of the ancestor, and gave her this umbrella. According to the law of heaven, 360 years is a small calamity, 1080 years is a major calamity, this thing has experienced more than three major tribulations, and now it is infinite, and it can be on an equal footing with my magic weapon. The Gangxian is to use this thing against the ministers. The duty of the minister is to spread the clouds and rain according to the rules of the sky, but when I don't make rain, I will open the umbrella at will, let its shadow become a black cloud and rise into the sky, and then rain below, she intends to oppose me and damage my prestige, do I still have dignity in front of other immortals? Woo, woo! When Ao Guang said this, he pretended to cry.
Because the Jade Emperor was accustomed to Ao Guang's slander, he had a preference for Ao Guang, so he said: "Ao Aiqing is sad, since the Gang Immortal has broken the rules of heaven, what should be done?" ”
Ao Guang was secretly happy, and immediately played: "Your Majesty Xie is wise and sacred, and the minister thinks that he should first abolish the umbrella of Gangxian Gangxian, and then punish her, her friends and backstage." ”
"Who are her friends and backstage?" The Jade Emperor asked.
Ao Guang thought at this time that if he directly named and said it, but he didn't have the evidence, he was afraid that he would be beaten upside down, so he said slyly: "Your Majesty, just look at the future actions of the immortals, and the ministers don't dare to talk nonsense." ”
When the immortals heard that they were going to punish the Gang Immortal and abolish her umbrella, they all thought it was Ao Guang's conspiracy. But Ao Guang has recently become a popular person of the Jade Emperor, and no one wants to offend him.
At this time, the northern Zhenwu Xuantian God, Tota Li Tianwang Li Jing, the third prince of Nezha, Yang Jian, and the Hundred Flowers Fairy came out one after another, and they tried to protect the Ganggang Immortal Gu, she was forced to open the umbrella to rain because of the serious drought in Tiantianping District, in order to save the people from fire and water, and condemned Ao Guang for deliberately not raining according to the rules of the sky, intentionally creating a drought on one side, and harming the people, and the crime should be severely punished.
Because the Jade Emperor favored Ao Guang, he planned to see who would protect the Gang Immortals, so he would kill the chickens and respect the monkeys and block the mouths of the immortals, but when he saw it, he was embarrassed:
The father and son of Tota Li Tianwang have always been upright, they are the cadres who defend the heavenly court, they can be said to be their own siblings, and they must not destroy the Great Wall;
Yang Jian is his grandson, and he is in the position of the protector of the Dharma: the Hundred Flowers Fairy is also the niece of the Queen Mother, how dare she touch a single hair;
As for the Northern Emperor, he is one of the five emperors, after Pangu (Hongjun Ancestor) opened the world, the east sealed the Qing Emperor, the south sealed the Yan Emperor, the west sealed the White Emperor, and the north sealed the Xuan Emperor, and he was in the middle, and he was named the Jade Emperor to govern the universe together.
Although the emperors of the Quartet still respect themselves as the middle, they are equal in terms of rank, so they naturally dare not embarrass him, and Hongjun Ancestor will not agree.
Now the immortals are trying to protect the Gangxian Gangxian, and they are not blindly guaranteeing or protecting, so they dare not punish rashly, in order to calm the people, they are determined to ignore the opposition of the immortals, destroy the umbrella of the Gangxian alone, turn it into a big mountain, and fix it on the east side of the Heavenly Ping. Later generations called this mountain "Haogang Immortal Mountain".
The Gang Immortal was protected by the Northern Emperor and was exempted from punishment, but he lost his umbrella.
At first, she felt very unhappy in her heart, but she couldn't help it, as the saying goes: "The big stone crushes the crab!" It's just that I can't help the people around Paradise Ping anymore. ”
Later, she thought: can't the umbrella be scrapped and rebuilt? So she was determined to create a new one, to fight Ao Guang's evil deeds to the end, and to do her best to relieve the suffering of the people.
She first chose a hill near the river to plant the carapace, and soon it grew green, and the people in Tiantianping District called it "Yau Ligang".
She climbed to the top of the gang again, on the one hand to monitor Ao Guang's movements, on the other hand, to place the kang and water bowls, where to catch the koo and rub the thread, so that in the future to weave linen, and then build a tough umbrella for the benefit of the people (now there are two stones on the top of the Ganggang Mountain, one large and one small, arranged on the left and right, the big one is like the hemp basket of the predecessors, and the small one is like a water bowl soaked in hemp. Strange to say, the water bowl has water all year round).
Ao Guang, the dragon king of the South China Sea, in order to destroy the cocoons planted by the Gangxian in the South China Sea, and made a lot of obscenity, creating drought, a drought is a few months, the covets of Yaumagang are about to dry up, the local people know that this is planted by the Ganggang fairy, young and middle-aged men and women invariably go to the bottom of the mountain to dig the ditch, look for water, pick up the hill one by one, and water and rescue the colossal carp one by one.
Besides, after Huineng returned to the mountain villa, he always cared about the suffering of the people on that side, and from time to time he thought of the demon snake eradication, and always felt that Ao Guang, the dragon king of the South China Sea, would not give up and wait for an opportunity to take revenge on the people on that side.
As Huineng expected, soon, I saw the lord of Longzhai come to the door again, told him about the recent drought there, and begged Huineng to go to solve the disaster and help the Gangxian.
Huineng was moved by this, and his compassion prompted him to relieve the drought of the people on that side. So, immediately rushed to Heaven Ping Village with the owner of Longzhai.
Entering the realm of Tiantianping, I saw that the red land here was thousands of miles, the fields were cracked, and the seedlings were about to dry up. Groups of people carried buckets of water to the river to carry water to pour crops, Huineng was so moved by this scene that he couldn't help himself, walked straight to the crowd, said a blessing, and then said: "The drought is so serious, although you have the perseverance to carry water to drench crops, but it is like dripping water to water a flame." If you can trust me, how about asking me for rain on your behalf? ”
The people were eager to relieve the drought, so they immediately brought Huineng and the lord of Longzhai to the Yamen of the Dusi and asked him to discuss the matter of asking for rain with the Dusi.
The next day, build an earthen platform on a hilltop in the northwest of Tiantianping (behind the Tiantian Pingzhai), take its meaning of "gold and water", the earthen platform is surrounded by flags, and 28 sturdy men are selected, standing in all directions with flags in hand, instead of 28 nights, and then Huineng ascends the altar, burns incense and prays to the heavens, and recites words in his mouth. Knock on the wooden fish, and hold the clean water to water in all directions, and then startle the wood to beat, a moment, the sky is full of dark clouds, lightning and thunder, and then a downpour for a long time, completely relieved the drought, and the Gang Fairy Gu planted in Yau Ma Gang also resurrected.
All the immortals in the sky knew about this, and they all said that it was because of the "Dao and many helps" of the Gang Immortal Gu.
Ao Guang was deliberately mischievous and caused the drought to be lifted by the Nether, and he was unwilling to use the flood to take revenge.
He deceived the Jade Emperor with rhetoric, and it rained a heavy rainstorm, and the sky and water broke out at the same time.
However, due to the high terrain of Tiantianping District, the crops in some low-lying riverside fields have been harmed, and the big dam mountain opposite Tianguangwei has been broken through a hundred holes due to the eruption of ground water, which really hurts the god of the big dam mountain.
Because of the low flow of water, the Xinjiangxi River flows through the Hetou and Yizhu areas. Due to the low terrain and narrow river surface in these places, sudden flash floods rolled in, and the riverbed could not be drained, causing flooding, countless houses collapsed, and heavy losses along both banks of the river.
That night, the Immortal Gu of Horogang used her water bowl to measure the amount of rain in this rainstorm, and calculated that it was more than double that approved by the Jade Emperor.
So, she went straight to the Lingxiao Treasure Hall to sue Ao Guang for his crimes.
Ao Guang argued that there was no such thing, but the Jade Emperor asked Gangxian to come up with evidence.
When they were at a standout, the god of Da Da Mountain, dressed in rags and covered with devastation, appeared in the heavenly court, telling the Jade Emperor about Ao Guang's atrocity of excessive rainfall in accordance with the rules of heaven; Then the river god of the Xinjiang River went to the heavenly court to sue Ao Guang for wanton flooding, and more than 20 houses were washed down by the flood on both sides of the West River, washing away countless livestock, grain, and furniture......
Faced with conclusive human evidence, the Jade Emperor had to punish Ao Guang for violating the rules of heaven and being imprisoned in the heavenly prison.
The people of Tiantianping, who have been tormented by drought, have gradually come to their senses and are determined to use their wisdom and hands to overcome the drought and create a happy life.
The people here declared war on the Dragon King, opened channels, built reservoirs, and set off a vigorous movement to revitalize water conservancy and seize a bumper agricultural harvest.
Soon after Ao Guang was imprisoned, he was dismissed from prison by the Jade Emperor. Unwilling to let himself fail, he tried to use the method of moving mountains and seas, moving mountains and hills, blocking rivers, filling up reservoirs, and creating bad weather to make it difficult for people to carry out construction.
He lobbied the Jade Emperor in the hope of gaining his support.
He said: "Your Majesty, the people of the lower realm, now put forward the slogan of 'not relying on the sky to eat' and 'man will conquer the sky', and vigorously engage in the construction of water conservancy, so as to defy the heavens, if they let their actions succeed, where is the power of heaven? We must try to stop them as soon as possible! After hearing this, the Jade Emperor bent his fingers, shook his head and sighed, and said, "I said Ao Guang, this is not what it used to be!" Heaven and earth are not static. Every 2,500 years, there is a major change. According to calculations, 2,500 years of earth transportation have passed, and now the 'human movement' has begun. The power of the people today, I also want to let it be seven, and I advise you not to make more trouble. ”
Ao Guang didn't dare to make a sound when he heard it, but he was still not convinced, and planned to secretly sabotage people's actions to transform mountains and rivers and build water conservancy.
One day, when the Immortal Gu learned that Ao Guang was going to use the method of moving mountains to destroy the water conservancy movement of the people in the lower realm to open channels and build reservoirs, she immediately visited Our Lady of the Ancestors, borrowed the "Qiankun Ruyi Bag", and she sat on the top of the mountain to monitor Ao Guang's movements.
As soon as he found the mountains that Ao Guang had moved, he immediately threw up the "Qiankun Ruyi Bag" and put the mountains into the bag, completely destroying Ao Guang's criminal activities and ensuring the smooth progress of the people's work of transforming the mountains and rivers and building water conservancy.
The people of Tiantianping braved the scorching sun on their heads, braved the wind and rain, overcame all difficulties, relied on themselves, and built water conservancy.
Soon, the reservoir was sparkling, and the river actually climbed the hillside.
On the day of the opening of the Dawan Water Conservancy Project, an octogenarian whose home is 10 kilometers away from Tiantianping, on crutches, specially came to the anti-siphon mouth of Heaven to watch the river roll up the mountain. In the crowd of onlookers, there was a warm and crisp applause.
