Meeting the Jade Emperor

"Alright, no need to say anything more to Sun Wukong. Just take Sun Wukong inside."

After hearing what Sun Wukong said, the Four Great Celestial Masters looked at each other in bewilderment, and one of them couldn't help but speak up.

A short while later, Sun Wukong arrived beside the Jade Emperor. After listening to the words of the Four Great Celestial Masters, the Jade Emperor pondered for a long time before speaking to Sun Wukong:

"When I was observing the human world from the outside, I found that the people there completely disregarded the gods, feeding all the offerings they made to the dogs, and spouting arrogant words while committing heinous crimes."

"So I placed three things inside the main store. Take Sun Wukong and take a look. If all three things disappear, then let it rain for him. If they don't disappear, don't meddle."

Then the Four Great Celestial Masters led Sun Wukong into the main hall, where they suddenly saw a mountain in front of them, a very large mountain.

There was a mountain of noodles next to it, and next to that mountain of rice was a little chick eating grains of rice one by one. Next to that mountain of rice and noodles was a dog the size of a fist eating noodles.

Inside the innermost part, there was an iron rack with a golden lock hanging on it and a candle placed below it. Sun Wukong didn't know what this meant, so he turned to the Celestial Master and asked:

"What exactly does this thing in front of us mean?"

"The princess below violated the heavenly rules, so the Jade Emperor ordered three things: the chickens must finish eating the rice, the dogs must finish eating the noodles, and the candles must burn out the golden lock before it rains."

After hearing Sun Wukong's words, the Celestial Masters explained to Sun Wukong. Sun Wukong, shocked and ashamed, dared not continue his antics and left the hall. The Four Great Celestial Masters, seeing this, smiled and said to Sun Wukong:

"Great Sage, you don't need to worry about this anymore. Actually, it's very simple. All it takes is a single good thought to disturb Heaven, and all those things will disappear. Go and make them return to a benevolent state, and the rain will come naturally."

Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong left without saying goodbye and went to the mortal realm. He then went to the Southern Heavenly Gate and met the Heavenly King Who Protects the Nation Heavenly King Who Protects the Nation smiled and said to Sun Wukong:

"Great Sage, how is your matter going? Has the imperial Yuding been issued as scheduled?"

After speaking, Sun Wukong shook his head helplessly and said, "Don't mention this matter again. I plan to go down and talk to them about everything that happened in heaven, and let them figure out how to solve it themselves."

Then Sun Wukong instantly appeared beside Tang Xuanzang. Upon seeing Tang Xuanzang, Sun Wukong ran towards him, while the princess looked at Sun Wukong expectantly. Sun Wukong then reprimanded the princess:

"Did you offend the Heavenly Emperor back then?"

The princess looked completely bewildered upon hearing this, and Sun Wukong, seeing this, continued, "The Jade Emperor has already told me many things, but the only thing I'm unsure about is why you pushed all the tribute items onto the ground to feed the dogs."

After hearing Sun Wukong's words, the princess was greatly surprised and immediately knelt down, asking Sun Wukong, "Great Sage Sun, how do you know about things that happened several years ago?"

"Stop talking nonsense. I'm asking you a question. Don't give me so much talk, just answer me."

Just then, Sun Wukong seemed a little anxious, and then the princess told Sun Wukong the truth. The princess said:

"I had already put all these things on the table, but my wife and I had a fight, and I was so angry that I pushed the table over."

"I still remember this incident vividly, but I don't know who to explain it to. It was only then that I realized that God had already wronged me. Today I met you, and I hope you can tell me how I can gain God's forgiveness."

Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong said to the princess, "You are incredibly lucky. That day happened to be the day the Jade Emperor descended to earth. He saw you feeding all that food to the dogs and spouting arrogant words. The Jade Emperor immediately had three things to say to you."

After saying this, Zhu Bajie looked at Sun Wukong with a puzzled expression and said, "Brother Monkey, then hurry up and tell me! Tell me which three things you want the princess to correct."

Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong recounted everything that had happened in heaven, Zhu Bajie laughed and said:

"These are all minor matters. Brother Monkey, take me to Heaven now. I'll eat all his things, break those chains, and then pray to the Jade Emperor for rain."

After speaking, Sun Wukong went to Zhu Bajie's side to treat him. Zhu Bajie's ears began to scold him, and Sun Wukong said to Zhu Bajie:

"You mustn't talk nonsense here. That was done by the Jade Emperor. How could you possibly see it?"

Tang Xuanzang looked at Sun Wukong with a worried expression and said, "What should we do now?"

Sun Wukong waved his hand dismissively and said to Tang Xuanzang, "Master, don't worry about this anymore. The Four Great Celestial Masters told me that this is very easy to solve."

The princess knelt on the ground and said to Sun Wukong, "Immortal, please tell me quickly, and I will definitely do as you say."

"If you are truly devoted to good, quickly read some Buddhist scriptures and chant mantras. I can then speak on your behalf. But if you remain stubborn and unrepentant, not only will I be unable to help you, but in a few days, heaven will surely give you the most severe punishment, and you will not be able to save your life."

Seeing this, Sun Wukong sneered and told the princess the quickest way. The princess knelt down, kowtowed and offered gifts, indicating that she would convert to Buddhist Order. Then she immediately gathered some monks to establish a temple.

Then the princess knelt down and thanked Heaven and Earth, reflecting on her sins. Tang Xuanzang chanted sutras for the princess and then issued a message that everyone, regardless of age or gender, must burn incense and chant Buddhist prayers.

Seeing this, Sun Wukong was very pleased and said to Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing, "You two stay here and watch over Master. I'll be right back."

However, Zhu Bajie looked at Sun Wukong with a puzzled expression and said, "Where are you planning to go now? Aren't you going to deal with this matter?"

After speaking, Sun Wukong looked at Zhu Bajie a helpless expression and said to him, "This princess listened to my words and has indeed changed a lot. She is now sincerely chanting Buddhist scriptures. I will go see the Jade Emperor again and ask for some rain."

After hearing what Sun Wukong said, Sha Wujing said to Sun Wukong, "Brother Monkey, if you go now, don't delay! Be sure to bring back some fish so that our good deeds can be carried forward."
