Feng Shui Emperor

Chapter 253 The Allusion of the Jade Dragon (Part [-])
Folklore.

The Jade Emperor is in the Heavenly Palace, and he has to go to court every day. After he goes to court, he not only manages the affairs of heaven, but also the affairs of the world, and even the ghost affairs of the underworld, as well as the good affairs of the Western Buddhist kingdom!People say that the Jade Emperor is lenient, and he is neither tired nor annoying.

According to legend, during the Tang Dynasty, for a few days in a row, the Jade Emperor discovered that there was a woman in the lower realm who became the emperor.

Not only that, Wu Zetian also kept a few noodle heads in the palace, eating, drinking and having fun all day long, having fun wantonly, is that okay?If one day, the female immortals in the upper realm also imitated Wu Zetian's appearance, wouldn't that also overthrow the Jade Emperor's throne?

According to legend, during Wu Zetian's time, the Jade Emperor was angered somehow, and that's actually how he angered him.

So God was furious and ordered Taibai Jinxing to tell the Dragon King of the Four Seas that it would not rain on the world within three years as a punishment.

The Jade Emperor sometimes has a bad temper.

Since it was Wu Zetian who annoyed you, you can just talk to Wu Zetian. You shorten her life, increase her illness, dismiss her from office, and kill her. Why not?
Why do you want to have trouble with everyone in the world?

It seems that the Jade Emperor is also bullying and afraid of hard, otherwise he was afraid of his wife when he was still a mortal, so he didn't dare to punish Wu Zetian directly.

The Jade Emperor refused to let it rain, which made the common people suffer.

The green crops all over the mountains and plains withered and died, and the farmers knelt on the land crying and howling; the originally rushing and clear river ponds dried up, and the fishermen sat on the edge of the river ponds and sighed.

Seeing that people's livelihood was cut off, people cried out their tears and hoarse their voices, but the Jade Emperor remained indifferent.

Listening to the people's wailing, all the rain gods gathered together quietly, thinking about it and studying it. The national committee, committee, meeting and enlarged meeting were held more than a dozen times, but none of them dared to disobey the Jade Emperor's will, and the meeting was still closed.

But, in fact, things did not continue like this. On this day, a cloud suddenly floated from a distance, first it was a white cloud, and then it turned into a dark cloud. After a while, the dark cloud escaped to fill the entire sky.

The cool wind blew up, the raindrops fell, and then, there was a downpour of "hush, huh, huh".

The long drought brought sweet rain, and the hearts of the people were happy. Everyone knelt on the ground and thanked the sky.

It turns out that people don't know that this is the rain from Yulongxing, who is in charge of Tianhe.

People offered incense, kept kowtow, and kept chanting, thanking Fengshen Yushi and the Jade Emperor!

In fact, the common people are very familiar with this jade dragon.

Last time, he also went through the rain privately to relieve the suffering of the people, and was beaten by the Jade Emperor to the mortal world to suffer.Later, Yulong was enlightened by Avalokitesvara and turned into a white horse. He followed Tang Seng to the west to learn Buddhist scriptures.

Because of his meritorious service in learning scriptures, the Jade Emperor recalled him to the sky and resumed his original post to still manage Tianhe.

These days, Yulong heard people's miserable cries, and felt very uneasy. He once trekked mountains and rivers in the world, followed Tang Monk to learn Buddhist scriptures, and witnessed the hardships of the people's lives, so he ignored the danger of being beaten down again and drank enough. The water of the Tianhe River ran out of the Nantian Gate, opened its huge mouth and sprayed rain.

The Jade Emperor was furious when he learned that the Jade Dragon had rained privately again, and immediately ordered the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals to arrest him, and ordered Taibai Jinxing to turn him into a towering mountain peak with a whisk, crush him under that mountain to suffer, and set up a stone tablet on the mountain. , engraved on the stele: Yulong violated the rules of heaven by raining, and should be punished by the world for thousands of years.If you want to re-enter the Lingxiao Temple, unless the golden beans are blooming.

People saw a mountain suddenly appeared in the field, and there was an inscription on the stone tablet on the mountain. Only then did they know that the Jade Dragon once again rained privately for the survival of the people, which offended the Jade Emperor.

People were moved by Yulong, so they set up incense tables in front of the mountain that suppressed him and worshiped him day and night.

In order to save Yulong, repay Yulong's life-saving grace, and hope that Yulong will rise to the sky and rain down again, the common people are looking for flowering golden beans everywhere, but they have searched all over the world, but they can't find them.

So people knelt in front of Yulong's mountain and said, "Yulong, can you tell us where there are golden beans blooming?"

Yulong said: "Where in the world can there be golden beans blooming? Not even in the Heavenly Palace! I'm afraid I will never return to the Heavenly Court!"

But people did not give up and continued to look for the golden beans that bloomed.

On the first day of February of the following year, it happened to be going to the market in the street, and an old lady was carrying corn to sell. Because the bag was not tied properly, the mouth of the bag came loose, and the golden corn seeds were scattered all over the ground.

Seeing this scene, people's hearts light up: "Isn't this bag of grains like golden beans?

Doesn't it bloom after frying? "So everyone agreed together that every family would fry the corn bean.

On the second day of the second lunar month, each household put the fried corn-filled bean curd in a dustpan and offered it to the courtyard, and some even brought it to Yulong.

The golden corn flowers all over the place set off the white clouds brilliantly.

Seeing that people treated him with such sincerity, Yulong couldn't bear it any longer, and shouted loudly: "Taibai Jinxing! Listen, you foolish old man, the golden beans have already bloomed, so hurry up and let me out!"

The Taibaijinxing people are old-eyed and can't tell whether it's the golden bean flower or the corn flower, so they put away the whisk.

The mountain that suppressed Yulong also went up to the sky.

With the rise of the dust whisk, the Jade Dragon let out a long roar, leaped to the top of the clouds, exhausted all its strength, and sprayed rain again with a "squeak, squeak, squeak" against the smoldering dry land.In a blink of an eye, the sky and the earth were all white, the rain filled the valleys and rivers, and the wilderness returned to life.

Besides, the Jade Emperor is currently singing and dancing in the Lingxiao Palace, eating flat peaches, drinking imperial wine, and admiring the graceful dancing of the fairies!At this time, the meritorious service officer on duty came to report, and Yulong was raining against the order again.

The Jade Emperor immediately questioned Taibai Jinxing. Only then did Taibai Jinxing realize that he had done something wrong, but he said in a perfunctory manner: "Jade Emperor! Didn't you say that you would release the jade dragon when the golden beans bloomed? This morning I saw the golden bean flowers in the lower realm. Open it, and then collect the whisk!"

The Jade Emperor was so angry that he trembled all over: "Is that the golden bean flower? Open your eyes and see, the golden thing everywhere is the corn flower!"

Seeing that the Jade Emperor was really angry, Taibai Jinxing stood there without saying a word, until the Jade Emperor's anger subsided a little, and then tentatively said: "Jade Emperor! I thought... the incense in the sky depends on the common people Consecration, if we starve them to death, what shall we do in the future?"

The Jade Emperor thought for a while, but there was nothing he could do, and said: "Your words are also reasonable, so let's go to the next step, recruit the Jade Dragon, and continue to manage Tianhe!"

Although Yulong returned to heaven, the folks have formed a habit. Every year on February [-], people get up early to fry Baoguhua, singing in their mouths: "On February [-], the dragon raises its head. The big warehouse is full, and the small warehouse is flowing."
