Prehistoric: A Stable Life, Starting From the Journey To the West

When the rain of heaven is commanded, do you say that you will obey it, or will you not obey it?

If you obey, you will lose the game, not only lose face, but also fail to protect the dragon son and grandson.

If you don't follow it, you are falling into the arms of others, and you can be taken down by the Heavenly Court Rain Master and charged with guilt. Life and death are inevitable.

Therefore, there is no need to doubt that the bet between the Jinghe Dragon King and Yuan Shoucheng is a losing end from the very beginning, and it is impossible to win.

It's not that Yuan Shoucheng's divination and divination skills are really that awesome, but that there is a backstage, and it's the stupid dragon who is pitted.

Of course, the situation of the Jinghe Dragon King is not unsolvable. Even in Chen Qi's view, it is very simple to solve the Jinghe Dragon King's dilemma.

The only thing that made him uncertain was that the Dragon King of the Jinghe River was a dead dragon that must die and must be sacrificed to the sky in the opening plot of Journey to the West.

It's still a dispensable, unlucky **** who can save the last one.

After all, if you want to make Tang Wang Li Shimin go into the underworld in shock, it is difficult to say that it is difficult.

And all this, only after seeing the Jinghe Dragon King, will naturally become clear.

......

Xiaonan Mountain, located in the south of the Jing River outside Chang'an City, is just a small mountain and is not well-known.

But it is undeniable that the scenery of Xiaonan Mountain is good, which is very suitable for the spring outings of young boys and girls in Chang'an City.

There is also a pavilion on the top of Xiaonan Mountain, where visitors can rest and rest, and stone benches and stone tables are readily available.

Chang'an City in June is obviously not a good time for an outing.

The hot sun in the sky, not to mention the talented and beautiful women in Chang'an City, even the woodcutter and fisherman, are reluctant to go out.

So at this time, in the pavilion on the top of Xiaonan Mountain, there are only two masters and servants of Chen Qi.

"Is it really going to rain in this weather?"

After laying out the rice paper and researching the inkstone, Chen An wiped the sweat from his face, then looked up at the sun as big as a wheel in the sky, expressing great doubts about his young master's decision.

Chen Qi naturally didn't know the thoughts of his own book boy.

Moreover, as a martial artist in the late seventh stage of martial arts, a Qi practitioner in the late eighth stage, and a great Confucian in the late third stage of Confucianism and Taoism.

Although it is still not possible to avoid the cold and summer, but the mere heat will not be taken seriously by him.

It was already the end of time, and it was very close to noon.

Standing in the pavilion, Chen Qi picked up the Langhao Pen, looked at the white rice paper laid flat on the stone table, thought for a moment, and then dipped two strokes on the inkstone with the Langhao Pen, and wrote three words on the rice paper: Shabby Room Ming!

"The mountain is not high, but the immortal is the name. The water is not deep, but the dragon is the spirit."

In just two sentences and sixteen characters, a majestic spiritual thought jumped out from the rice paper, as if there were ups and downs of mountains and rivers, surging rivers, immortals approaching the world, and the sound of dragons and tigers roared from the top of Xiaonan Mountain.

I don't know when, a cool breeze blows, blowing away the dull heat, bringing coolness to people.

In the distance, dark clouds came from the south with the breeze, covering the scorching sun in the sky.

Chen An, who was standing behind Chen Qi, raised his head involuntarily, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

"Could it really be raining today?"

Chen Anxin looked suspiciously at Chen Qi who was indulging in creation (plagiarism), but felt that his young master had changed a lot recently.

Not only was it better for them, it was also more mysterious.

Just like today, if Chen Qi hadn't opened his mouth, he would never have believed that it would rain.

Just as Chen An was making wild guesses, the wind was getting stronger and stronger.

From the very beginning, it brought a cool breeze to people, and it gradually became stronger, and finally it became a strong wind and wind, and some people who were blowing could not keep their eyes open.

Then there was a thunderbolt in the sky, and the dark clouds in the sky became thicker and thicker, as if the whole world was gloomy, and the night was covered in advance.

Such a change is almost completed in an instant.

This made Chen An, who had just come back to his senses, in a hurry, raised his footsteps, and wanted to quickly walk to the stone table and put away the ink, paper, ink, and ink that had just been laid.

However, when he saw Chen Qi who was still writing calmly in front of him, he was instantly stunned.

Because the scene in front of him is completely different from what he imagined.

In his imagination, the gust of wind would blow up the ink on the inkstone table and the rice paper spread on the stone table. The master and servant hurriedly put away the writing tools of the four treasures of the study, and then hurriedly avoided the storm in the pavilion.

And how?

The young master also wrote the article calmly, and the ink and paper were quietly placed on the stone table, as if the wind outside the pavilion was fake.

If it wasn't fake, how could it not be able to blow off paper and inkstones in Taichung?

What made Chen An stunned the most was that he didn't know if it was dazzling or what was going on, but he actually saw the words written by his young master on the rice paper, shining brightly, shining brightly, illuminating the world!

"Ta! Tat! Tat!"

The wind blew, and the rain fell.

Of course, inside and outside the pavilion, it seems like two different worlds.

Let his wind and rain fall, I will stand still and not be affected in the slightest! .

Chapter 55: Ao Qing, a model worker of the Tang Dynasty, the noble character of a scholar! (for collections, for flowers)

As a Siyu Dragon God, Jinghe Dragon King Ao Qing is still very respectful and responsible.

In June, Chang'an City was a little dry, so the people of Chang'an City went to the Dragon King's Palace to ask for rain.

If other Siyu Dragon Gods face the rain requests of the people at the bottom, they may ignore them.

But Ao Qing is different. He will try his best to satisfy the wishes of the people at the bottom, so as to ensure that the surrounding areas of Chang'an City are in good weather.

Since the establishment of Wude, there have been natural disasters such as severe droughts and floods in all parts of the Tang Dynasty. Especially after the change of Tang Wang Li Shimin's Xuanwumen and proclaimed the emperor, it seems that he can't even see the sky, and there are floods and droughts almost every year. It happened, making the Tang court exhausted.

Only in the area near Chang'an City, this kind of situation rarely occurs, so it can be seen that Ao Qing, the Dragon King of the Jinghe River, is dedicated to his duties.

Of course, why use the word "rarely" to describe it?

Because although Ao Qing is the Dragon King of the Jinghe River, he is still the "Chief of the Eight Rivers in Chang'an, the Great Dragon God Siyu", but there are many things that he can't decide.

For example, in the second year of Zhenguan, Heavenly Court ordered that there must be a severe drought near Chang'an City, no rainfall, and even more locust gods descended to the earth to devour all plants and trees!

In that case, even if Ao Qing wanted to rain, he would not dare to drop a drop of rain.

There's no way, the big guy in the heavenly court has spoken, how can he still dare to disobey his orders as a human water god?

Moreover, the heaven and earth disasters in the first year of Zhenguan and the second year of Zhenguan were not as simple as they appeared on the surface.

If Ao Qing dared to mess around, not only would he not be able to survive, but also the entire Jinghe Shui Clan would not be able to escape death, and he might even affect the Dragon Clan of the Immortal Realm.

So at that time, even if Ao Qing was reluctant, he could only act in accordance with the decree of the Heavenly Court and did not dare to violate the rules at all.

Of course, under normal circumstances, the rain in the world is decided by the water gods and Siyu dragon gods from all over the world.

Unless there is a special edict issued by the heavenly court, whether it will rain or not depends on the meaning of the human water **** and the dragon **** Siyu.

Maybe it's out of guilt, maybe it's because I can't bear it, or something else.

Except for the special event in the second year of Zhenguan.

At other times, Ao Qing was still very dedicated and easy-going, and he would try his best to ensure that the weather in the area around Chang'an City was good.

It is precisely because of this that his relationship with the Tang Dynasty is also quite good.

On this day, Ao Qing responded to the wishes of the people in several villages and towns south of Chang'an City, and traveled through the rain to ease the drought.

Afterwards, when he was about to return to Jinghe Shuifu, when he was passing Xiaonan Mountain, he was suddenly attracted by a celestial atmosphere on the top of Xiaonan Mountain.

"The literary spirit is sky-high, the mountains and rivers are splendid, and there is even a fairy spirit, which is the great talent who wrote the ancient articles here?"

"The most important thing is that this ancient article seems to be related to the sacred immortal dragon family."

"No, such an ancient article, I must go and read it."

As the water **** of Jinghe, Ao Qing's strength is absolutely extraordinary, not to mention invincible in the world, but he is also the pinnacle of the immortal world, a rare powerhouse in the human world.

So he just glanced quickly, and easily saw Chen Qi's master and servant in the pavilion on the top of Xiaonan Mountain through the dark clouds and rain.

At the same time, through the explicit style of writing, I guessed Chen Qi's identity as a great scholar and a little bit of the essence of the article.

To say this Ao Qing, although he is the top powerhouse in the human world, he does not have any special hobbies. He only likes articles written by literati.

In the words of later generations, it is admiration for scholars, especially talented scholars.

In fact, this point is also explained in the original Journey to the West, that is, the part where Ao Qing and Yuan Shoucheng made a bet.

If other dragon kings enter the mortal world, they will surely transform into powerful and rich people.

After all, the dragon family is a relatively noble creature in the world. It is fond of wealth, and its appearance is born from the heart. When it changes, it will also come from the heart, turning into the rich and powerful.

And what about Ao Qing, the Dragon King of the Jing River?

However, he turned into a scholar in white to seek Yuan Shoucheng's theory, and what kind of literati gambling.

From this, we can know the appreciation and love of Jinghe Dragon King Ao Qing for scholars.

Therefore, when he saw that there were great talents in Wendao on Xiaonan Mountain, he was very happy and wanted to make friends.

Now that I have witnessed Chen Qi write an ancient article related to the dragon family, I can't wait even more, and I am delighted to see the hunter.

It's just that Ao Qing has also read many Confucian classics and knows the attitude of scholars towards ghosts and gods.

If you don't speak, you will be confused by strange powers.

Of course, when it came to later dynasties, the meaning of this sentence changed, and it became "the child does not speak, the strange power is chaos", and the last sentence disappeared directly.

This is probably the fine style of later generations of scholars.

Anyway, I have the sages' classics in hand, and whether there are punctuation marks to clearly break the sentence or something, of course, I have to understand the sages' quotations in a direction that is beneficial to me.

Just like the phrase "repaying grievance with virtue".

The original text is from "The Analects of Confucius":

Or: "How about repaying grievances with virtue?"

The Master said, "Why repay virtue? Repaying grievances with directness, and repaying virtue with virtue."

The translation is: Someone asked Confucius: "How about forgiving those who have hurt you?" Confucius replied: "How do you deal with those who have helped you? Use integrity to repay harm, and repay kindness with kindness."

It is a pity that this sentence has changed since then, and the words "repaying grievance with virtue" remain among the reading population of later dynasties.

And they also hope that others can have the good character of "repaying grievance with virtue".

As for themselves?

Heck, that's definitely not needed.

Fortunately, the Confucian classics of the Zhenguan era have not been misinterpreted by later Confucian scholars, otherwise Ao Qing would not dare to show up.

As a Dragon King who appreciates scholars and understands Confucian classics very well, Ao Qing is also very familiar with Confucianism.

Especially in terms of etiquette and etiquette, it is more familiar and has to be familiar again.

Therefore, he first took a deep look at Chen Qi, and then, without saying a word, flew back to the Jinghe Water House, and took out a set of pen, ink, paper and inkstones from his treasure house.

Feeling that this was not enough, he picked up a few crystal clear gems and put them into his sleeves, and took two fist-sized Yeming Orbs and the Four Treasures of the Study beside them to make a pair.

"Well, Master Zhuang once said: A gentleman's friendship is like water, and a villain's friendship is sweet."

"In my opinion, that great talent has extraordinary literary talent, high quality, and must be a gentleman."

"So for the first visit, it is not appropriate to send too valuable items. For the time being, only bring these!"

Ao Qing thought regretfully.

Although he really wanted to bring more gifts to the Confucian master, to deepen friendship or something.

But Ao Qing also knew the great talents of Confucianism very well, and knew that they were all masters of high morality, and they paid great attention to their character, and regarded gold and silver as dung, so when choosing gifts, they must pay attention to elegance.

In addition, if the first meeting brought too many gifts that are too expensive, others would definitely suspect that he had ulterior motives and would definitely not take them back.

Therefore, he would rather bring less gifts than let himself leave the image of a laity in the heart of the Confucian genius.

Thinking of this, Ao Qing looked at the Four Treasures of the Study and the Yeming Orb, which were full of brilliance and aura.

Well, that's the purple one.
