Chapter 715: Nimbus
"It's going to rain?" the monkey couldn't help but widen his eyes with a puzzled expression.
Didn't Li Jing say that if it rains here, there will be drought in other places? Why did he suddenly allow it?
This is a bit like the style of Heavenly Court.
In the room, Xuanzang and the old county king, who heard the thunder, also ran out and looked up.
In an instant, the old county king's tears burst out of his eyes.
"It's going to rain, hahahaha, it's raining?" He jumped up and down like a child, looked around in a panic, took Xuanzang's hand and said: "Quick, quickly find something to catch water! Hurry up, hurry up! God opens his eyes, God opens his eyes!"
He spread his legs and ran towards the courtyard where he lived.
"Come out quickly! It's going to rain! It's going to rain! Fengxian County is saved! Hahahaha!"
The sound of laughter, like a cry, echoed in the night sky.
In the midst of lightning and thunder, gusts of wind with moist air currents greeted you. Everything around me was excited, and it felt as if the whole world had awakened in an instant.
Xuanzang looked up and saw the monkey on the roof.
"It's ......"
"I don't know. The monkey spread his hands.
Without much hesitation, as soon as he turned around, Xuanzang quickly ran towards his house, and quickly moved out a large number of bottles and cans.
"Help him. The monkey turned his head and glanced at the Bull Demon King: "Move out all the things that can catch the rain in Fengxian County." ”
"No!"
With the Bull Demon King stretching out his hand, countless demon generals emerged from all corners. They quickly rushed to the abandoned huts around them, and removed all the containers that could catch the rainwater.
Time. Bottles and cans can be seen neatly placed in almost every corner of Fengxian County.
"Does this count as the success of Master Xuanzang Pudu?" asked the little white dragon in a low voice.
"I'm afraid not. But...... It's better than complete failure. The monkey sighed lightly: "Maybe it's the rain that has been vacated somewhere in the heavenly court." Just take care of us first. It is rare that the Jade Emperor will also be enlightened. ”
The monkey bowed and sat back down. Touching his chin and scanning everything in front of him, he silently waited for a downpour.
In the distance, the old county king was still shouting: "Come out quickly! Come out quickly! It's going to rain! Hurry up and catch the rain!"
At this moment, it is already old tears.
There was no one in the entire Fengxian County for a long time, and the few remaining old people were already by his side. But he kept shouting, madly, as if he were calling out for those who had left.
"It's okay. It can be regarded as breaking the siege and doing a good thing. The monkey smiled helplessly.
Lu Liugui laughed on the side.
Not the best result, but ...... At least not the worst. If this rain doesn't come, Xuanzang will probably only have one way to be driven out of Fengxian County.
Faintly, the monkey was a little disappointed.
Soon, all the preparations were completed. The old county king wanted to move out more containers, but suddenly found that all the containers in the entire Fengxian County had been moved!
"This must be a fairy manifestation! It must be! Hahaha, it's all thanks to Master Xuanzang. The old man is stupid, you must have been sent by the Buddha to save Fengxian County. The old man still wants to drive you away...... I beg Master Xuanzang for forgiveness!I beg Master Xuanzang for forgiveness!" He led a group of old men to kneel down in front of Xuanzang in a hurry, holding Xuanzang's hand and crying.
"Don't be like this, old county king. This rain ...... This rain has nothing to do with the poor monks. ”
"It's okay with the rain, these bottles and cans. It must have something to do with it, right? It was Master Xuanzang who moved the heavens, and it was the Buddha who appeared!"
Xuanzang looked at them helplessly, and had to hurriedly support the old county king, but unfortunately the old county king refused to get up no matter what.
kowtowed their heads one after another, whether Xuanzang recognized it or not.
Time passed bit by bit, every old man was so excited that he cried, Xuanzang hurriedly appeased, and the monkey watched helplessly from the eaves.
However, there was a continuous lightning and thunder, but there was never a drop of rain.
Gradually, the old king stopped crying. The residents around also looked at the sky with some confusion.
"No, this rain cloud...... Is there a problem?" the monkey tilted his head slightly.
Just as the monkey was about to take off into the air and take a look at the cloud, the rain cloud slowly dissipated before everyone's eyes!
In the astonishment, everyone, including the monkey, including the old county king, including Xuanzang, was stunned.
After a while, the clear sky above my head was restored, and the stars were twinkling.
"What's going on?" the monkey hurriedly swept towards the sky, only to find that all traces had dissipated as if nothing had happened.
The original rain clouds did not even leave a single penny.
For a moment, everyone looked at each other.
The dry wind of Fengxian County swept the land again, and everything seemed to be back to its old self, leaving only the people standing on the ground and countless containers.
"It's ...... What's going on? Isn't it going to rain?" the old county king looked at Xuanzang blankly.
For a while, Xuanzang could only bow his head slightly.
He couldn't answer that question.
"No, it won't, it's going to rain for a while, it's going to rain again. The old county king said categorically.
A group of old people who were half buried in the ground gathered together one by one wrapped in quilts, staring blankly at the sky.
That look, Xuanzang's heart trembled slightly.
"What the hell is going on? Fool us?" the monkey pointed at the Bull Demon King and said, "You! Let Li Jing come here to see me immediately!"
"No!"
Crossed over his waist, the monkey gasped heavily. It felt like someone had been tricked at you.
The Bull Demon King is gone, and the loss after the great joy of Fengxian County has not dissipated because of this.
Those old men still stayed in the courtyard one by one with the old county king, looking at the sky, unwilling to leave.
Xuanzang had no choice but to accompany them in the courtyard, holding the hidden heart stone given by Nuwa in his hand.
"Isn't it...... What did the poor monk do wrong?"
"No, no!" the old king hurriedly moved. Holding Xuanzang's hand tightly, he said, "It's not Master Xuanzang's fault. It's my fault, old man. You help us dig wells. Moved by the heavens, and then the rain clouds fell. But old man, I still want to drive Master Xuanzang away...... It must be the old man's fault! It must be the old man who provoked the Buddha, and this is the punishment that came down! The master and Yuyun are both the hope of Fengxian County, and Yuyun is gone! Master, you can't go anymore!"
Staring at the old county king with tears in his eyes, Xuanzang couldn't find words of comfort for a while. He could only maintain a half-squatting posture and watch him quietly.
On the eaves, the monkey was so angry that the corners of his mouth twitched.
......
"It's raining in Fengxian County?" Li Jing frowned slightly.
"It didn't fall. But the problem was meant to fall. Rain clouds, lightning, everything, and suddenly all of a sudden it was gone. The Bull Demon King crossed his hands and said, "The Great Sage Lord is very angry, so let Li Tianwang go over to see him immediately." ”
Li Jing was stunned when he heard this, and hurriedly turned his head to look at Nezha on the side and said: "Fengxian County is the boundary of the Dragon King of the West Sea, go and get the rain report of the Dragon King of the West Sea." ”
Nezha nodded, turned around and ran towards the Nantianmen Tower.
A short time later, he returned, holding in his hand a large booklet half his height.
Place the booklet on the floor and spread it out. Li Jing climbed up and quickly checked it. Soon, he found the records that belonged to Fengxian County. It's just a fork. Other than that, nothing was written.
"Impossible, impossible, there will be no rain in Fengxian County for the next three years. ”
"The king doesn't care about it. The Bull Demon King snorted and said, "Anyway, the rain clouds did come and left, so the Heavenly King should explain to the Great Sage Master himself in a while." Or if you don't want to go, in that case, I'm afraid you can only let the Great Sage come and invite you personally. ”
Faced with these ultimatum-like words, Li Jing hesitated and took out a piece of jade slip from his sleeve.
......
At the same time, Xuanzang had already left the courtyard where the old people gathered and came to an alley.
In the corner of the alley, the monkey was half-crouching and plucking out his ears.
Walking in front of the monkey step by step, Xuanzang said softly: "The poor monk has already said that there is no need for the Great Sage to take action when it comes to going west." ”
"I didn't make a move. If I make a move, it will not only be rain clouds, but also rain. As he spoke, the monkey flicked his nails as if nothing had happened.
Xuanzang stood quietly, staring at the monkey without saying a word.
There were vague voices of old men complaining in the distance, and Xuanzang's fists couldn't help clenching
"Why, you don't believe it?" the monkey slowly stood up with his waist crossed.
Xuanzang took a deep breath, looked back in the direction where the old county king was, and said, "The poor monk believes that it's just ......."
"Just?"
"It's just that the matter of traveling west to preach the Tao needs to be taken step by step, and it cannot be accomplished overnight. The Tao has not been proven, even if it reaches Lingshan, what is the use?"
"Then you still don't believe it?" the monkey rolled his eyes and sighed, "I already said, if it's me, why didn't the rain fall in the end?"
"Then why did the bottles and cans in the entire Fengxian County come out automatically? It can't be that I have grown legs, right?"
"You!"
After this question, for a while, the monkey didn't know how to answer. could only stare at Xuanzang with wide eyes.
"The poor monk has already said that there is no need for the great sage to take action in the matter of going west. ”
"If I hadn't made a move, would you have survived until now?"
"It is precisely because everything depends on the Great Sage that the poor monks have rarely achieved anything along the way. ”
"Are you blaming me?" the monkey laughed, but with a mocking smile.
Under the moonlight, the two stared at each other with such big eyes.
Xuanzang didn't give an inch, but for a long time, the monkey could only give up. Shaking his head angrily, he said, "Forget it, I don't expect you to believe anything from me." Believe it or not. ”
As he spoke, the monkey casually punched the wall hard, and it directly pierced the already rotten wall.
The sand and dust quickly dispersed.
With a turn, the monkey leapt to its feet and stepped onto the eaves, quickly disappearing into the night.
Only Xuanzang was left alone in the alley, still standing quietly, as if nothing had happened. Slowly turn around and leave.
......
A hundred miles away, Lingji smiled slightly, turned to leave. (To be continued.) )
