There was a young man in the Sui Dynasty named Li Jing who was a kind-hearted man. Since he was a child, he has had the desire to save the people and Anbang, and he followed his uncle Han Baohu to learn martial arts.
Li Jing wants to be a person who is both civil and military. He heard that at the foot of Longmen Mountain, there was a gentleman who was very knowledgeable, so he said goodbye to his uncle, carried his book bag and luggage, and traveled thousands of miles to find a teacher.
At this time, it was the height of summer, there was a drought and no rain, and the disaster had already become a disaster. Along the way, Li Jing saw that there was a red ground everywhere, and the seedlings were scorched, and he was very sad.
Walking further, I saw a dragon king temple, and the front of the temple was crowded with people. It turned out that the common people here begged for rain, got angry, and carried the dragon prince out to bask in the sun. A few old men stepped forward to stop them, and everyone quarreled.
Li Jing was in a hurry, missed the post station, and he walked on an unknown barren mountain. It was already dark, and there was no one in the middle of the mountainside, and Li Jing walked into a big forest in a daze.
He was looking for a path, and suddenly, in the darkness of the night, a little fire appeared in the distance. Li Jing was overjoyed in his heart, if there is a light, there must be a family, so he took three steps and did two steps, running towards the looming light.
It was originally a small farm. It was a strange village, isolated in a small clearing in the middle of the forest, with no neighbours, no farmland, and no road leading to the forest.
Li Jing stepped forward and knocked on the door. With a "squeak", the door of the village opened, and an old woman with white hair like silver, holding a cane in one hand and a lamp in the other, walked out. Li Jing hurriedly stepped forward and gave a salute to explain his intentions.
The old woman shone a lamp on his face, hesitated for a moment, and then led him into a small hut next to the main house.
While laying the futon for him, the old woman chattered endlessly: "It's really not a coincidence, my son and grandson have gone out." There is no one at home, and you can't entertain wine and dinner. Childe will be enough! Li Jing thanked him repeatedly.
When the old woman saw that he was too tired, she said no more and walked out of the room. Li Jing hurriedly went to bed. Li Jing lay on the bed and fell asleep immediately. A sudden knock at the door woke him from his dream, and he immediately rolled over and sat up.
Li Jing lifted the curtain and looked out, only to see the old woman opening the door in a hurry, and a little doll with a bun running in happily.
The little doll shouted, "Grandma, the child was playing in the heavens, met an angel, and brought a divine decree from God, so that I could take it." I heard that I asked my father to go to the east of the river to make it rain. At the third quarter of the first day of the first month of today, it must rain a foot to save the dry seedlings there."
Li Jing listened as if in a dream. He jumped out of bed to get dressed; While thinking to himself: "There is such a strange thing! It turns out that the dragon lord also lives in the world. This old woman and the little doll must be the dragon mother and dragon grandson. ”
Li Jing peeked out through the crack in the door. The old woman was receiving the decree from the little doll, carefully. At this time, Li Jing remembered the bitter drought he encountered along the way, and couldn't help but be overjoyed. He thought: "If the drought is sweet and rainy, the people will be saved." ”
However, the old woman was worried. She said to the little doll, "Your father has gone out on patrol and has not come back yet, and he sees that the sky is almost dawn, how is it good?" ”
The old woman thought about it, had nothing to do, and complained vigorously. The little doll also pouted, snatched the holy decree, turned over and left.
When Li Jing saw it, he was taken aback, and he thought: "I finally hoped that God had sent down a holy decree, but it was not a coincidence. He saw the little doll opening up to leave, so he hurriedly grabbed the door and went up to stop it.
The little doll was startled and hurriedly asked who it was. The old woman said, "Get out of the way, tell him the truth!" She turned to Li Jing and said, "You heard everything just now!" To tell you the truth, I am the Mother of Dragons, and he is the Dragon Sun. ”
Li Jing hurriedly saluted and said, "Forgive me for taking the liberty of the lower realm, the lower realm has been dry for three consecutive years, and the people are not able to make a living. Please also ask the Mother of Dragons to be gracious and think of a way not to return the holy decree."
Long Sun said, "How can it be done?" Walking in the rain is a matter for the father. My grandmother can't go, and I can't. As he spoke, he turned around and left. The Dragon Mother stopped him, told him to wait, and then looked Li Jing up and down.
Li Jing was embarrassed by her. The Dragon Mother suddenly frowned, and said to the Dragon Sun with a smile: "You have an idea, you put away the holy decree!" Then, she said to Li Jing: "It's urgent, just bother the son to do it for you!" "Don't say anything, pull Li Jing's sleeve and leave.
The Dragon Mother led Li Jing into the main room, took out the dragon crown and dragon robe of the Dragon King, and changed them for Li Jing. The Mother of Dragons looked at it for a long time, nodded her head, and even said, "It's like it."
Li Jing hurriedly said: "Although you pretend to be like it, you can't go to heaven, it's in vain." The Mother of Dragons said, "Don't panic, don't panic. He asked Long Sun to take out a white horse and said to Li Jing: "This is a heavenly horse, and it can be empty." ”
The Mother of Dragons thought about it again, hurriedly walked into the house, took out a soap flag, and said, "I almost forgot, this is a soap flag, you can use it to mobilize troops." Then he told Li Jing in detail about the duties of the gods of Si Feng, Si Yu, Si Lei, and Si Dian, and how to dispatch them.
Li Jing wrote them down one by one and asked, "Ask the Dragon Mother, although I can go to heaven and send generals, where should I go to the rain?" When the Dragon Mother heard this, she turned around and shouted, "Xiaolong, you lead Li Gongzi to go." ”
Long Sun said yes in the house and ran out happily. He was holding a white jade bottle in one hand and a willow branch in the other, and the tools for walking the rain were ready.
By this time, it was already dawn. The dragon mother pulled the reins of the horse, and Li Jing and Long Sun followed, and walked out of the village gate together and came to the glade in the forest.
The dragon mother instructed: "Don't laugh at the son, I don't know much about my son." You must remember that this net bottle is not trivial, do not sway at will, there are not many points in the ground, and a drop in the sky is not less. How much to sprinkle, listen to the words of Long Sun. ”
Li Jing stepped on the horse and hugged Long Sun on the horse. With a whistle, the Pegasus soared into the sky and soared into the sky. Li Jing was so frightened that he didn't dare to open his eyes, only to feel the wind whirring in his ears.
I don't know how many states and counties I have passed, and how many mountains and rivers I have crossed. Long Sun shouted and sang, not afraid at all, pointing east and west to talk to Li Jing, and Li Jing's courage slowly grew.
Ryusun told him to pull the reins, and Pegasus walked slowly. Li Jing looked down from the clouds, and saw that the sun like a fire wheel had dried up the ground and the seedlings were scorched.
Li Jing secretly rejoiced and thought: "Although I didn't finish my studies, I never imagined that I could do such a good thing for the people." While he was thinking about it, Long Sun asked him to hold the reins and told him, "It's over the east of the river." ”
Seeing that the local gods of mountains and rivers came to take over, no one could tell whether this dragon lord was real or fake. Li Jing waved the soap flag in his hand vigorously, and the gods of Si Feng, Si Yu, Si Lei, and Si Electric also rushed together to listen to the order.
Li Jing ordered the wind god to quickly blow a strong wind and float a large area of chaotic clouds on the top of the major mountains, the more the better. Aunt Feng Bofeng took the order and left.
In an instant, the sand flew away, the wind was fierce, and the clouds were fluttering, rushing to the sky above the east of the river. Li Jing ordered the clouds to concentrate as soon as possible, and the denser the better. Mica and Yuntong took the order and left.
Layers of dark clouds were covered with layers of clouds, overlapping and overlapping, obscuring the clear sky.
Long Sun handed the willow branch to Li Jing, shook the white jade net bottle in his hand, and said to him: "You use the willow branch to dip it gently in my net bottle and sprinkle a drop of water on the world." Li Jing did so, but he was very unconvinced.
In the end, Li Jing ordered the five thunder messengers to thunder, and the thunder god took the order. Thunder rumbled, lightning flashed. The gods of wind, clouds, thunder, and rain led their subordinates, and began to make rain.
The downpour soaked the seedlings on the ground. The peasants were all overjoyed, braving the heavy rain, and went to the fields in groups of three or five to tidy up the water furrows.
The people who punished the dragon lord on the street hurriedly moved the dragon lord back to the temple, wiped the muddy water on its body, put clothes on it, and brought out all kinds of sacrifices...
In less than two hours, the rain ended. Li Jing looked down from the clouds, only to see that the sky was clear after the rain, the glow was shining, and the neon showed beautiful colors. The peasants sang and danced, and the sound of celebration reached the sky.
The gods of wind, clouds, thunder, and lightning came to give orders. Li Jing thought secretly: "A drop of water, the people are thankful." But what can you do with just one drop? It's better to take this opportunity and have a good time. How happy the people must be! "
He whispered to Long Sun: "Look, with such a big pomp, how can you only sprinkle one drop, let's sprinkle more!" So saying, he dipped a willow branch in a net jar.
Long Sun hurriedly blocked the net bottle with his hand and said, "No, I went out with my father to make rain, and I only sprinkled one drop." Li Jing got angry and said, "What do you know about this kid?" Today is no better than in the past, after three years of drought, you are still so stingy! ”
Long Sun said: "It's not that I'm stingy, I'm afraid that my father won't agree to me." Li Jing was furious and said: "When you are a god, you will enjoy happiness, ** understand the suffering of our people?" With that, he reached out and snatched the net bottle from Long Sun's hand.
Li Jing ordered: "The gods should not return to their positions, they should prepare separately, and they must continue to rain." "The gods took the command and departed.
Long Sun was frightened and cried and said, "If you do this, Dad will beat me, and Grandma won't spare me." Li Jing said proudly: "Since ancient times, the general will be outside, and the king's order will not be affected." On weekdays, I beg the heavens and the earth, and you don't rain, but today I can't help you. ”
With that, Li Jing flipped the bottle and poured water down. Long Sun hurriedly grabbed and said, "Enough, enough, I can't do it anymore!" ”
Li Jing stopped, satisfied, and returned the net bottle and willow branch to Longsun. It rained heavily for a day and a night, and it only fell dark. Li Jing stood in the clouds, forgot his tiredness, and shouted: "Happy, happy." ”
The rain stopped, and Li Jing ordered the gods to return to their places. He was overjoyed and thought, "If you do good deeds, you must do home." The people know that I did it, how grateful they should be to me! Thinking of this, I can't help but feel overjoyed.
Long Sun said, "Where is the gentleman going?" I'll send you there! Li Jing said: "Go to Longmen Mountain." The two shouted at Pegasus and flew away. When he arrived at the top of Longmen Mountain, pressed the cloud head, Li Jing took off his dragon robe and gave it back to Longsun. Ryusun rode a heavenly horse and took his leave.
Li Jing was triumphant, rested on a rock for a while, and walked down the mountain road. Looking down, he was taken aback... I saw that the mountains and rivers were steep and the rivers were overflowing. The turbulent waves swallowed the county, and the water swept away the farmhouse villages, and the ocean was everywhere
Li Jing wondered in his heart, and when he went down, he saw groups of refugees, helping the old and the young, running up the mountain. Li Jing inquired about it, only to know that this unprecedented heavy rain had caused houses to collapse and farmland to be submerged!
Li Jing walked further and saw a temple with three big characters written on the temple door: "Longmen Mountain". Li Jing thought: "I must live here." ”
Li Jing walked into the temple gate and saw a serious and simple old gentleman lecturing to the students. He asked, knowing that this old gentleman was Wen Zhongzi.
Li Jing hurriedly stepped forward to pay respects. Wen Zhongzi asked, "Who are you?" Li Jing told him about his life experience and his ambition to find a teacher.
Wen Zhongzi was very surprised and said: "In the past two days, it has rained so heavily that the roads are impassable. Are you from **? Li Jing said, "I came from heaven." Then he told the dragon mother and dragon grandson on the way, and the rain for the dragon.
Wen Zhongzi stood up in shock and said, "Ouch! It turns out that the flood is monstrous, and it is you, the sin created by the afterlife! Li Jing said: "* It is a good heart, how can it be said that it is a sin? ”
The text said: You are doing bad things with good intentions! The water in this pure bottle is extraordinary, a drop in the bottle is a foot underground. If you wield it with your hands, isn't this going to save a thousand people and hurt thousands of lives? When Li Jing heard this, he was full of remorse, and fell to the ground and cried bitterly. Wen Zhongzi said to the students: "It can be seen that well-wishers can also backfire and do bad things. On the other hand, if a person is determined to do something good, he must naturally have a good heart. But kindness alone is not enough. The students nodded yes.
Wen Zhongzi picked up Li Jing and said gently: "Don't be sad, clean up, and study Xi hard!" This painful lesson is the first lesson you learn Xi be a human being. ”
