Rainfall

After hearing what Sha Wujing said, Sun Wukong immediately returned to the Southern Heavenly Gate and met the Heavenly King Who Protects the Nation. The Heavenly King Who Protects the Nation asked Sun Wukong, "What are you doing here again?"

After speaking, Sun Wukong smiled and said to the Heavenly King Who Protects the Nation, "That princess has already converted to Buddhist Order."

The Heavenly King Who Protects the Nation was overjoyed upon hearing this. Just as he was about to speak with Sun Wukong, a messenger arrived carrying a letter. The messenger, having just reached the Southern Heavenly Gate, met Sun Wukong and said to him:

"This letter was written out of Great Sage Sun's good intentions."

Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong looked at the messenger with a puzzled expression and asked, "Where are you going to send this thing now?"

"So this is what the Great Sage was talking about! I'll take it to the Jade Emperor."

Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong was overjoyed and said to the messenger, "Then you go in first, I'll chat with the Heavenly King Who Protects the Nation for a while longer, and then I'll go in."

The messenger, carrying the letter, went straight to the Jade Emperor. Upon seeing this, the Heavenly King Who Protects the Nation said to Sun Wukong:

"Great Sage, you don't need to see the Jade Emperor right now. You just need to tell the Thunder God, but remember to have him bring the Thunder God of Mother of Lightning along."

However, Sun Wukong actually believed the words of the Heavenly King Who Protects the Nation and went to the Southern Heavenly Gate. Instead of going to the Hall of Numinous Treasure, he went to the Nine Heavens Prefecture and ran towards the messengers of the Thunder Gate. The messengers said to Sun Wukong:

"Great Sage, why have you come here today? What happened?"

"Don't ask me so many questions yet, I need to see the Duke of Thunder!"

The three messengers imparted their teachings together, but Duke of Thunder Gong straightened his clothes, stepped out of the main hall, and greeted Sun Wukong with courtesy. Sun Wukong said to Duke of Thunder, "I have something I'd like to ask you about; I need your help."

Upon hearing this, Duke of Thunder calmly said to Sun Wukong, "Don't rush to tell me what's going on. You can tell me slowly."

"I once protected Tang Xuanzang on his journey to the Western Heaven Paradise to obtain Buddhist scriptures. Now we've arrived at a place Kingdom of Tianzhu, where a princess lives, and it's been suffering from drought all year round. I'd like to come here to borrow some rain."

Seeing that even the Duke of Thunder was so serious, Sun Wukong dared not cause any trouble and could only respectfully address the Duke of Thunder.

"I already knew about this. It was just three rules set by the Jade Emperor. I wonder how well those rules have been fulfilled. If they haven't been fulfilled, I can't easily make it rain."

After speaking, Duke of Thunder intended to go and see how those places were doing, but Sun Wukong stopped Duke of Thunder said:

"I already met with the Jade Emperor yesterday morning, and he asked me to look into those three matters. I was extremely embarrassed at the time, but when I returned, they told me that as long as I had good intentions, the problem could be solved."

"Now everything is ready, and the messenger has already presented a memorial to the Jade Emperor. I have come here specifically to ask for your help."

After thinking about it seriously for a long time, Duke of Thunder said to Sun Wukong, "Since that's the case, then we'll help you out."

Then, the Duke of Thunder brought the Mother of Lightning to where the princess was. In mid-air, he cast a spell, and a thunderclap was heard from the sky, followed by a flash of lightning.

In the area where the princess resided, all the officials, large and small, inside and outside the city, had not heard a single ray of thunder or lightning for three years. But today, upon hearing thunder and lightning, they all knelt down, with incense burners on their heads and some holding willow branches while chanting prayers.

Namo Amitabha Buddha!

This act of kindness indeed moved the heavens. Leaving aside the fact that Sun Wukong summoned the Duke of Thunder Mother of Lightning, everyone first received messengers from the celestial realm, who delivered all the representatives of the Buddhist and Daoist families to the Jade Emperor. Upon seeing them, the Jade Emperor laughed and said:

"It seems those people are still quite kind. How have those three matters been handled?"

Meanwhile, in the Nether.

"Why has so much time passed and no one has come yet? It's raining here!"

Sun Wukong was extremely excited, because he wanted this rain more than anyone else.

After a short while, the crowd could no longer hold back and began to have doubts that Sun Wukong was a fake. Even the princess couldn't help but have some doubts about Sun Wukong.

The princess said to Sun Wukong, "What's wrong with this master? This thunder has been going on for so long, but I haven't seen a single drop of rain fall."

Sun Wukong was also quite impatient at this moment, so he scolded the princess:

"Why are you in such a hurry? It must be because you've done too many bad things that even Heaven can't stand it anymore. Don't worry, just wait a little longer. If you pray sincerely, it will rain soon."

Upon hearing this, the princess stopped speaking to Sun Wukong. Then, some elderly and frail people on the street collapsed to the ground, unable to continue. Seeing that this was pointless, Sun Wukong went to White Dragon Horse dragon horse and said:

"Brother, I know you're Dragon Race too, so you must be able to swim a bit, right? Why don't you rain some down on them now? If anything goes wrong, I'll take the blame."

The White Dragon Horse was slowly and methodically eating its food when it heard Sun Wukong's words. Suddenly, it looked up at Sun Wukong White Dragon Horse and spoke in human language, saying:

"What you're doing, Senior Brother, is probably not a good idea. If the Jade Emperor finds out, neither of us will escape."

Sun Wukong finally lost his temper and slapped the White Dragon Horse. The white White Dragon Horse howled in pain and flew into the sky, revealing its true form: the majestic White Dragon.

When the common people below saw the White Dragon Horse's true form, they were extremely surprised and knelt down even more vigorously.

"Holy crap, is that a dragon?"

"It really looks like a dragon! I think my eyes are playing tricks on me. I can't even tell the difference between a dragon and a flying snake anymore."

Hearing the comments and words of the people below, the White Dragon Horse the sky nearly choked on its own blood. It thought to itself, "You're the snake! Your whole family are snakes!"

As if reading the White Dragon Horse's mind, Sun Wukong came up in the sky, patted the White Dragon Horse on the shoulder, and said to it:

"Don't worry too much about what others think of you. It's just that you flew too high earlier, and they didn't see you clearly. Now, just use your Law Technique to make some rain, and they'll see what you're capable of, right?"

After hearing what Sun Wukong said, the White Dragon Horse nodded to Sun Wukong, and then a roar of dragons rang out.
