The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

In the past two days, the incense in the Dragon King Temple has been particularly strong.

Li Fu was curious, so he took Wu Liangye and the others to the Dragon King Temple.

The Dragon King Temple is not big, it is just a house that looks a little better. It was repaired by all the people in Jingyang County.

It's just that no one has maintained it for many years, so it looks a little shabby.

It was clean inside. When Li Fu came, he saw several people kneeling in front of the Dragon King statue and kowtowed, holding three incense sticks in their hands. After kowtowing, they respectfully inserted the incense into the stone incense burner on the altar under the Dragon King statue.

"My dear, do we want to go in?" Wu Liangye asked.

"Let's go in and take a look."

After Li Fu finished speaking, he walked inside.

After the people finished paying homage, they left the Dragon King Temple.

But seeing that Li Fu was dressed in luxurious and extraordinary clothes, they were also a little curious about which nobleman came to the Dragon King Temple.

Is it to pray for blessings and rain for Zhuangzi?

Li Fu saw that there were ready-made incense and candles on the altar.

He walked forward, picked up three incense sticks, and looked at Wu Liangye beside him.

Wu Liangye took out a fire stick from his arms, blew it, and lit the three incense sticks in Li Fu's hand.

Li Fu held the incense, bowed three times respectfully to the statue of the Dragon King, and then inserted the incense into the incense burner.

"May the Dragon King bless Jingyang County to have two spring rains within three days."

There are so many lands in Zhuangzi, and when you need help from others, your attitude should be more correct.

So, Li Fu came to burn incense.

As for what kind of rain-praying ceremony his own farmers will hold at that time, he will just come to watch and will not participate too much.

"If the wish can be fulfilled, this king will definitely pay for the restoration of the Dragon King's golden body."

You have to make a wish, and when you make a wish, you must also agree on how to fulfill the wish. When the wish is fulfilled, you must keep your promise to fulfill the wish.

It is not appropriate to paint a rosy picture for the gods. What if the gods hold a grudge and suffer retribution?

People have fulfilled your wish, and you are burning corn leaves at the grave to fool the ghosts.

After burning incense and making a wish, Li Fu left for the time being.

Three or four days later, the sky was still clear, and there was no sign of rain.

Li Fu's wish failed.

The Dragon King of Jinghe River ignored him.

Li Fu pursed his lips.

No wonder his head was chopped off, this thing is useless.

If you can't even fulfill a small wish, what's the use of being a Dragon King, brother?

But think about the story in Journey to the West. When the Dragon King of Jinghe River was about to be beheaded, he had to ask Li Shimin to ask Wei Zheng, the supervising officer, to show mercy.

As for myself, a prince of the Tang Dynasty, isn't my status higher than that of the Dragon King?

The Dragon King, to put it bluntly, also works for the Heavenly Court, and in the mythological system, the status of the dragon clan is not high.

When the Queen Mother held the Peach Banquet, the dragon liver and phoenix gall were just a dish on the table.

The little white dragon followed Tang Monk to the West to obtain the scriptures. He was really treated like a cow and a horse along the way. In the end, he could only be coiled on the pillar as a decoration...

And the emperor in the world called himself the Son of Heaven.

Li Fu, a relative of the royal family, is he also a relative of God?

Thinking of this, Li Fu understood everything.

Why look for Yuan Shoucheng?

He learned from the wrong person.

Immediately, Li Fu took Wu Liangye and other guards to the Dragon King Temple again.

The day before yesterday, Zhuangzi Shangshang held a rain-praying ceremony.

But judging from the weather in the past two days, it seems to be useless.

Wu Liangye and other guards thought that their husband came to the Dragon King Temple to burn incense and beg the Dragon King for rain again. Therefore, this trip was well prepared, and all the incense and candles were brought from the house.

And this time, Li Fu didn't plan to chat with the Dragon King at all.

Last time he burned incense and prayed for rain sincerely, but what was the result? The stone pillar didn't feel his intention at all.

Enter the Dragon King Temple.

Wu Liangye lit three incense sticks and handed them to Li Fu.

Li Fu raised his hand and pushed Wu Liangye aside.

He pointed at the statue of the Dragon King and began to smear honey on his mouth.

"What kind of Dragon King are you? It hasn't rained in the Gobi Desert for such a long time, causing farmers to have no water to irrigate their fields, and the crops can't grow. You are sitting on it with a dangling attitude, wearing a fur coat and pretending to be so arrogant. What kind of Dragon King are you? You are the Deaf King! I tell you, if it doesn't rain within three days, I will blow you up with explosives in Beizhong Mountain!"

The guards standing beside him were stunned by their husband's bold words.

They were numb.

Especially Wu Liangye.

The last time the husband came, he didn't have this attitude. What happened?

Why is praying for rain also asking for anger?

"Let's go!" Li Fu said harshly and turned to leave the Dragon King Temple.

Not only standing in the templeThe guards in the temple were frightened by Li Fu, and the people who were waiting outside the temple to burn incense to the Dragon King were also frightened.

Whose son is this? Is he crazy? He dared to be so disrespectful to the Dragon King.

Amid the whispers of the people, Li Fu left the Dragon King Temple.

"Sir, you just..."

On the way back, Wu Liangye spoke tremblingly.

"What happened to me just now? Didn't I scold him vigorously? Then let's go back and scold him again." Li Fu said.

"No, no, no." Wu Liangye waved his hands quickly.

How dare they violate that taboo.

Their son is so brave that he even scolded the Dragon King.

What should the son do if it doesn't rain within three days?

Wouldn't it anger the gods?

"Sir, what if it doesn't rain within three days?" Wu Liangye asked curiously.

"If you don't want to go down, then don't go down. I can still go to Beizhong Mountain to set off fireworks." Li Fu said calmly.

Marshal Zhang set off fireworks at Qianfo Mountain back then. Now, he is learning from Marshal Zhang, what's wrong?

Although he, Li Fu, and the Jade Emperor do not have the same surname, it doesn't matter.

My surname is Li. If you don't obey, I will beat you with a cannonball!

Back to the house, Shitou came back from Chang'an City and was waiting in the house to report to Li Fu.

"What's wrong? Is there any news about the matter I asked you to inquire about?" Li Fu looked at Shitou and asked curiously.

"My dear, you are a divine fortune teller. I have been inquiring in Chang'an City for several days and really found a Taoist priest named Yuan Shoucheng." Shitou said happily.

"What did he say?" Li Fu asked.

"I followed your instructions and asked him when it would rain in Jingyang County. He calculated with his fingers and said that it would rain in two days." Shitou said, "Tell the people in the village not to worry. There will be plenty of rain in Guanzhong this year."

"Will it rain? Then I'll wait and see." Li Fu smiled.

If it rains, everything will be fine.

"Also, I told him to come to Jingyang County less often, especially not to fish in Jinghe River. Then Yuan Shoucheng asked me why..." Shitou scratched his head.

He couldn't explain this to Yuan Shoucheng because he didn't know it himself.
