Chapter 99: The Dragon King of the Jing River
"What a Buddhist disciple Xuanzang! Although the old man is not a member of the Buddhist sect like you, he was also moved by your witty words from a monk, not simple, not simple!"
Everyone was stunned and looked at this person together, only to see that he was tall, thin-looking, dressed in green clothes, with a long beard under his chin, and the time to speak was already floating.
"Hey, hey, look, isn't he the old man who counts Yuan Shoucheng Yuan?" exclaimed a curious person.
"Exactly, exactly! I heard that Lord Yuan Tiangang, the supervisor of Qintian, is still the nephew of this old man. β
Under the gaze of others, Yuan Shoucheng walked in front of Jiang Liu'er.
carefully looked at Xuanzang's appearance and figure up and down, and then picked up a thumbs up and praised: "What a monk who has a beginning and an end, attaches great importance to love and righteousness, and overcomes difficulties to achieve success!"
"Dare to ask Your Excellency what ?..." Seeing that the popularity of the visitor was extraordinary, Jiang Liuer asked.
"The old man is Yuan Shoucheng of Chang'an City, and I heard the master preach the scriptures and preach the Dharma, so I came to listen to it. Old man Yuan stroked his long hair and smiled.
"It turned out to be the famous Master Yuan, and the poor monk Xuanzang was polite. After speaking, Jiang Liuer clasped his palms and saluted.
"That's it, no need to be polite. The old man also has nothing to do today, so I'm here to take a look. Old man Yuan waved his hand.
"Monk, I'm leaving, if there is a chance, you and I may be able to meet again in the future, farewell!" After speaking, Old Man Yuan arched his hand, and then raised his feet and left, without the slightest hesitation, let alone say hello to other people, he really came without a trace, went without a trace, and his temper was extremely strange.
"That monk Xuanzang, you have to cherish yourself, don't be confused by hue in the future, and don't give up easily. β
In the surprised eyes of everyone, Yuan Shoucheng recited aloud as he walked: "If he is a day to follow the spirit of the mountain, the sky will be outside the clouds." β
Under the gaze of everyone all the way, this Yuan Shoucheng walked all the way.
Outside Chang'an City, on the bank of the Jing River
After the fisherman Zhang Xiao and the woodcutter Li Ding were full of wine and food, they were walking along the bank of the Jing River.
The fisherman Zhang took advantage of a little drunkenness and said loudly: "Brother Li, don't you know! There is an old gentleman who sells hexagrams on Ximen Street in Chang'an City, and I get up early every day to give him a golden koi, and he will take a lesson for me. β
"Aren't you drunk and coaxing me with words?" asked the woodcutter Li Ding, slanting a pair of drunken and hazy eyes, with a smile.
The fisherman Zhang said in a hurry: "Don't coax you, don't coax you." Let me tell you, I went to buy a hexagram again this morning, and he taught me to put a net on the east side of Jinghe Bay and throw a hook on the west bank, and I will definitely be able to return with a full load......"
The so-called "wall has ears", there is a Yaksha who patrols the water in Jinghe Water Mansion happened to hear the words of the fisherman Zhang Xiao, and hurriedly returned to the Dragon Palace to report to the Dragon King of Jinghe.
"Lord Dragon, something is wrong!"
"What's the matter?" The Jinghe Dragon King, who was dressed in a splendid dragon robe, was closing his eyes to recuperate, and when he heard the report, he immediately opened a pair of big dragon eyes.
"The little one just went to the river, and happened to hear the conversation between the two fishermen, and the fisherman said that there was an old gentleman who sold hexagrams at the west gate of Chang'an, and the fisherman gave him a golden carp, and he took a lesson and taught him to hit the net with a hundred shots. β
"Little thought, if this kind of calculation is this, wouldn't it wipe out my water tribe? How can I strengthen my water mansion? How can I raise the prestige of my Jinghe water mansion?" said this water patrol yaksha foaming at the mouth, adding oil and vinegar, with an expression of invitation and flattery on his face.
"There is such a strange thing, this is bullying me Jinghe Water Mansion no one!"
"Come, dragon son, dragon grandson, shrimp soldier and crab general, go to Chang'an City immediately with this king to destroy this hexagram seller. The dragon king raised his sword and wanted to leave.
A green-shelled turtle swam next to him, it turned out to be the turtle prime minister of this Jinghe Water Mansion, and the turtle prime minister stretched his head out of the turtle shell: "Don't worry! Once the king goes, the clouds and rain will follow, I am afraid that it will disturb the people of Chang'an, and the Jade Emperor will blame the king." The king is changeable, it is better to transform into a talent and visit the west gate of Chang'an. If this happens, it will not be too late for the king to come and destroy it. β
"Well, okay! The Dragon King of Jinghe nodded yes.
Ximen Street in Chang'an City
Bustling, busy, crowded, and lively.
The changed talent of the Jinghe Dragon King is dignified, with fluttering white clothes and a paper fan in his hand.
After inquiring about the location of the hexagram stall of the hexagram seller Yuan Shoucheng, the white-clothed Xiucai of the Dragon King's change hurriedly came and prepared to ask the teacher for his guilt.
I saw a group of people in front of me disturbing one after another, a chaotic sound, and I faintly heard someone inside criticizing the hexagram.
The dragon king squeezed into the crowd, separated the crowd, a pair of dragon eyes looked inside, and saw that there was a hexagram shop, and there was a signboard standing on the shop, on which the words "Yuan Shoucheng" were written, and a pennant was hung, and the book "Iron Mouth God Calculation" was written.
Goodbye to the man who was sitting, he was thin and strange-looking, and he was talking to people at the hexagram stall.
The white-clothed Xiucai who changed from the Dragon King arched his hand and said, "Mr. Jiuwen is a god, please also make up for me about the clouds in the sky." β
The old man Yuan Shoucheng glanced at the Dragon King, and immediately took a lesson, and said, "You are begging for rain, it will rain tomorrow." β
"So when will it rain tomorrow? How much will it rain?"
Yuan Shoucheng pinched his fingers and calculated: "Tomorrow there will be clouds at the beginning of the day, thunder at the beginning of the day, rain at noon, and the rain will not stop at any time." The rainfall was 3 feet 3 inches and 48 o'clock. β
The Dragon King couldn't help but laugh, "Old man, what you're saying isn't child's play. If there is rain tomorrow, and it will rain at the hour and amount of rain you have determined, I will give you a hundred taels of money. β
"If it doesn't rain, or if it doesn't rain on time and rain, hehehehe......" The dragon king sneered.
"Hey...... I'll tell you the truth, at that time, I will definitely break your faΓ§ade, tear your signboard, drive you out of Chang'an, and don't allow you to bewitch the public here again. β
Hearing this person's threat, Yuan Shoucheng just smiled indifferently: "This is up to you, please, and we will meet again tomorrow after the rain." β
"Everyone, we're scattered, come back tomorrow. "This old man Yuan began to pick up people and clean up the hexagram shop.
The Dragon King of Jinghe returned to the Dragon Palace, and the big and small water gods took the Dragon King into the Water Mansion.
"Did the king find the one who sold the hexagram?" asked Yaksha with a smile.
"Yes, there is indeed that one who sells hexagrams, but according to this king, he is just a bad old man who lives with a mouth. When I asked him when it would rain, he said it would rain, and when and how much it would rain, he said that there were clouds at the hour, thunder at midday, rain at noon, and rain at three feet three inches and forty-eight o'clock. β
"So, I made a bet with him, if he was right, the king would give him a reward of 100 taels, and if not, he would break his shop stall and drive him away, and he would not be allowed to bewitch the people in Chang'an City again!"
The gods of Shuifu all laughed: "That person dares to love because he doesn't know that the king is the head of the eight rivers and the god of the rain and the dragon, and whether there is rain or not, only the king himself knows best in his heart." β
"That's it! How dare that hexagram seller talk so nonsense? He must have lost, lost!" all the water tribes splashed and laughed.
The Jinghe Dragon King leaned on the dragon chair and smiled proudly at this moment......
Above the water house, in the middle of the air
A thunderous voice suddenly burst out: "Jinghe Dragon King!
A strong man dressed in a golden samurai uniform soared all the way through the clouds, holding the edict of the Heavenly Jade Emperor high in his right hand, and came to the water mansion of the Dragon King of Jinghe in an instant.
