I'm writing novels in Liaozhai

"Well, thank you!"

The Junhou arched his hands and was about to turn around and leave, but he accidentally saw Tang Seng and his party walking slowly, his eyes lit up.

So, hastily greeted up.

"I don't know if this great mage is a holy monk who came from the Tang Dynasty in the east and went to the west to learn scriptures?"

"Amitabha, it is the poor monk!"

"That's great. I have admired the name of the holy monk for a long time. If you don't dislike it, can you all move to the humble house to sit?"

"Alright!"

Tang Seng responded.

So, a group of people came to a big mansion together with the Junhou.

The layout of the house is quite exquisite, but it is a pity that it has been drought for many years, and most of the plants planted in it are dead, so it looks extremely bleak.

Entering the hall, the Marquis immediately ordered the maid to make tea.

"To tell you the truth, the entire Fengxian County is short of water, including my county's Marquis Mansion.

The drinking water in the mansion is brought back by servants from hundreds of miles away..."

Speaking of this, the Junhou couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

Tang Seng hesitated for a while, then glanced at Monkey King and said, "Wukong, don't you know how to pray for rain? Or...help me pray for rain?"

Monkey King didn't feel embarrassed, and readily agreed.

"Thank you Holy Monk, thank you Great Sage!"

The Marquis of the county was very pleasantly surprised, and hurriedly cupped his hands to express his thanks.

To put it bluntly, he invited Tang Seng to the mansion just to pray for rain.

After all, the legend of Tang Seng's mentor and apprentice has long been spread in Fengxian County.

Gu Ming didn't say anything.

If there is no accident, Monkey King's trip should not be smooth.

As expected, about an hour later, Monkey King flew back with an angry expression on his face.

"Wukong, what's wrong?"

"exasperating!"

Sun Wukong said angrily.

"Great Sage, what's going on?" Junhou asked anxiously.

Sun Wukong glanced at Junhou and asked, "Let me ask you, did you two quarrel three years ago?"

"Uh..." The Marquis was stunned for a while, after thinking about it for a while, he couldn't help answering: "There is such a thing, but, this..."

"At that time, did you kick over the table dedicated to God in a fit of anger, and let the dog eat the offering?"

"This……"

The Marquis was at a loss for words for a moment, his forehead could not help but sweat profusely.

"Lao Sun told you that it was your anger that caused the catastrophe. At that time, the Jade Emperor happened to be patrolling the lower realms, and happened to find out about your actions. He was so angry that he issued a decree not to rain on Fengxian County for you.

Lao Sun went to ask the Dragon King, but the Dragon King refused to give you rain, saying that it was the Jade Emperor's will. How could he dare to resist the order and secretly give you rain? "

"Holy monk, great sage, I beg you to save me, save the people of Fengxian County..."

The Marquis was so frightened that he knelt down and begged bitterly.

"I swear, it was really unintentional, and there is no disrespect to God..."

"Okay, get up, let me give you an idea first."

Gu Ming couldn't help but said.

"Great, thank you, Shangxian!"

The Junhou was overjoyed, and hurriedly bowed his hands to Gu Ming to thank him.

"There are many water sources in Yinwu Mountain, and it's not too far from Fengxian County. It's only a few tens of miles away. You can organize the people to fetch water together, which can solve the urgent need."

Hearing the name Yinwu Mountain, the Junhou couldn't help but be surprised: "But Shangxian, there are many monsters in that mountain. Before, some people ventured in to fetch water, but as a result...most of them never returned."

"Amitabha, don't be afraid now, the monsters in the Hidden Mist Mountain have been surrendered by the poor monk's three disciples."

"Yes, the leader of the monster was beaten to death by Lao Zhu himself."

Zhu Bajie said triumphantly.

"Great, thank you all, thank you..."

Hearing that Yinwu Mountain was safe, the Marquis of the county was naturally overjoyed.

Currently, Yinwu Mountain is the closest water source to Fengxian County. The water sources in other places are either exhausted, or they are too far away. I am afraid that running back and forth may not bring enough water to drink on the road.

Although Yinwu Mountain is several tens of miles away, if you work harder, you can set off before dawn, and you can still rush back to the city at night.

Therefore, the Marquis immediately ordered his men to go down and arrange manpower, and first organize a group of people to go to Yinwu Mountain to fetch water.

But, as Gu Ming said, this is just an urgent need, at most it is to solve the problem of drinking water.

Not to mention taking a bath or something, the key is what to do with the crops?

How can people survive without crops?

Therefore, Sun Wukong volunteered and went straight to the heaven to find the Jade Emperor to reason.

When other people go to the Heavenly Court, they usually have to go through layers of reports and get permission from the Jade Emperor before they can enter the Lingxiao Palace.

But Monkey King has never been a man of rules.

When he arrived at Nantianmen, he swaggered in, and all the heavenly soldiers and generals dared not stop him.

Because they were afraid that this guy would get angry and smash the Nantian Gate... It's not like Monkey King has never done this kind of thing.

When he arrived at the Lingxiao Palace, Sun Wukong yelled loudly: "Old Jade Emperor, old Jade Emperor, my grandson has come to ask you to judge."

Hearing Sun Wukong's voice, the muscles on Jade Emperor's face couldn't help but twitched a few times.

This monkey head has never done anything good.

Sure enough, as soon as he entered the palace, Sun Wukong pointed at the Jade Emperor and shouted: "Old Jade Emperor, why did you kill innocent people?"

Taibai Jinxing hurried forward to persuade: "Great Sage, if you have something to say..."

"Old man Jin Xing, it's none of your business. Today, my grandson came here to ask the old man Jade Emperor to judge."

"Monkey King, don't be presumptuous!"

The Jade Emperor was angry and shot the case.

"Don't scare the old grandson!"

Sun Wukong turned to the people in the hall and said: "You come to comment, my old grandson and my master went to Fengxian County in Tianzhu Kingdom, and saw that the people there were all pale and emaciated.

Many people were displaced, had to sell their sons and daughters, and even starved to death.

It’s fine if you say it’s a monster causing trouble, but all of this was actually caused by the old Jade Emperor…”

"Nonsense, okay, why did I harm those common people?"

"You still say no? Three years ago, the Marquis of Fengxian County quarreled with his wife and kicked over the altar on impulse, which happened to be seen by you.

In a fit of rage, you even decreed not to rain on Fengxian County.

Three years have passed in the blink of an eye, do you know what Fengxian County has become now?

They have no way to grow crops and can only beg everywhere.

However, who has more food for refugees? "

Hearing this, the Jade Emperor finally remembered the matter and couldn't help but said: "It's their own fault. If they don't respect God, they must be punished."

"Bah, what do you mean disrespecting God? Is the quarrel between the couple hindering you?

Besides, even if there is a mistake, it is only the fault of the Marquis of that county. How can you affect all the people in Fengxian County?

Even if it affects the people, a little punishment is enough, why hasn't it rained on others for three years?

Is this intentional to let all the people starve to death?

If it is spread out, how will the people view God in the future?They will only say that you, Jade Emperor, are narrow-minded.

How can a narrow-minded God deserve their sincere respect? "

"you……"

The Jade Emperor was so angry that he almost vomited blood.

When did this monkey become so eloquent?

"Your Majesty!"

At this time, Li Jing stood up.

"What's the matter with Aiqing?"

"Your Majesty, I think that although Sun Wukong is a bit irrational and nonsensical, he has a good intention and is thinking of the common people..."

"Yes, yes, Your Majesty, three years have passed, and even the Marquis of that county has realized his mistake. Why don't you ask him to put down the incense table and sincerely pray to the sky to apologize..."

Seeing Li Jing and Taibai Jinxing begging for mercy, the Jade Emperor took advantage of the situation and went downhill, and replied: "Forget it, as long as the county and his wife sincerely apologize, I will not care about this matter."

Sun Wukong accepts it when he sees it good. After all, if he tries to run on the Jade Emperor at this time, it will only make the people of Fengxian County suffer more.

So he cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Thank you, Jade Emperor!"

This time I won't be called Laoer.

After returning to the Junhou Mansion, Monkey King explained the meaning of the Jade Emperor.

The Marquis of the county was very pleasantly surprised, and immediately agreed to set up the incense case in public and plead guilty to the Jade Emperor.

So, after some preparations, in the morning of the second day, the Junhou and his wife set up three sacrifices and incense tables outside the city, and knelt down in front of thousands of people to worship, hoping that the Jade Emperor would forgive the couple for their past mistakes. Offend the sin, and pray for rain, rescue the suffering people.

Since the Jade Emperor agreed to this matter, he naturally wouldn't care too much about it.

Ever since, another decree was issued, ordering the Dragon King of the Four Seas to spread rain.

As soon as the Junhou and his wife finished praying, the sky darkened.

Then, it rained cats and dogs from the sky.

"Great, it's raining!"

"It's finally raining!"

"Thank God, thank God..."

A group of people knelt down spontaneously, and Tang Seng made an exception and drank two glasses of wine.

Anyway, it's not the first time I drank it...

Chapter 67 The Golden Cudgel Is Lost...

Afterwards, the group stayed in Fengxian County for several days.

Tang Seng naturally couldn't do without preaching scriptures, and of course Gu Ming would not miss the opportunity to promote Confucianism and ideas.

When parting, almost all the people in the city spontaneously came to see him off, and their gratitude was beyond words.

After going on for more than 100 miles, I came to a big city: Yuhua Mansion.

Yuhua Mansion is a county under the Tianzhu Kingdom, with a population of more than [-] in the urban area, which is considered a relatively large city for Xiniu Hezhou.

As soon as Tang Monk and his disciples entered the city, someone rushed to report to the prince.

"Great, hurry up, go and invite the holy monk and his party to come to the palace!"

The prince was very pleasantly surprised, and immediately ordered his men to go down to invite him.

On the street, Gu Ming, Tang Seng and his disciples were admiring the local customs.

Compared with the countries that passed by along the way, Yuhua Mansion is much more prosperous. Whether it is the goods on the street or people's clothing, the exotic atmosphere of this place is even stronger.
