Besides, Ao Guang, the Dragon King of the South China Sea, is a master of flattery, and all the immortals call him Lao Flatter.
Because whenever he had the opportunity to get close to the Jade Emperor, he would praise the Jade Emperor's merits and bad things about others, so as to elevate himself and gain the benefit of venting his personal anger and revenge on others.
Some time ago, Ao Guang was punished by the people there because one of his younger sons took advantage of his power and did many evil things in Tiantangping District.
Ao Guang held a grudge, and caused drought in Tiantangping District by causing clouds and rain in violation of the rules of the sky. He was exposed by Boanggang Fairy Sister and Baihua Fairy Sister in front of the Jade Emperor, and was confirmed by Bei Emperor. He held a grudge and was determined to find opportunities. revenge.
On the one hand, he hid in Tiantangping District to create drought, and on the other hand, he slandered them in front of the Jade Emperor.
The Jade Emperor ruled the three realms. At the beginning, he was relatively fair in dealing with things, and he was quite disgusted with people and things that praised him.
Later, the Jade Emperor got used to it after hearing it too much.
Later, not only did I feel more and more comfortable listening to it, but I also thought it was strange that I didn't like flattery before.
One day, the Jade Emperor asked Ao Guang about the recent rain, and he pretended to be full of grievances, as if he had something to say.
The Jade Emperor asked what was going on, and Ao Guang took the opportunity to say, "Your Majesty has given me the duty of raising clouds and spreading rain. I should have acted in accordance with heaven's rules, but someone interfered with my execution!"
The Jade Emperor asked again: "Who dared to break the rules of heaven after eating the gall of a leopard?"
Ao Guang said: "Your Majesty, who else dares to be so outrageous in this matter? She is the Immortal of Guanggang. She relies on holding the magic weapon, and has a group of brothers to support her, and even the boss behind the scenes supports her actions."
The Jade Emperor asked: "What magic weapon does Bougangxian rely on? Who are her accomplices? Who is behind the scenes? Tell me everything."
Ao Guang said: "Your Majesty, the magic weapon of the Immortal Boggang is an umbrella. This umbrella has a great origin. It was originally a thing of Leizu, the queen of the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan. Leizu taught the people to plant mulberry, raise silkworms, and spin silkworms." Thread weaving made a great contribution. Ancestor Hongjun personally approved Leizu to sew an umbrella with the cloth. When going out, it can be used as a sunshade on sunny days and as a rain shield on rainy days. The immortal Banggang was Leizu’s favorite disciple. After Leizu’s death Huangdi Xuanyuan sent her to Lingnan in order to let the Immortal Guanggang inherit the cause of Lei Zu, so he gave her this umbrella. According to the laws of heaven, 360 years is a small calamity, and 1080 years is a major calamity. The object has experienced more than three great tribulations, and now it has infinite virtues and can be on an equal footing with my magic weapon. Immortal Boggang used this object to oppose the minister. The minister's duty is to make clouds and rain according to the rules of the sky. Immortal Boggang But when I am not making rain, I will open the umbrella at will, let its shadow turn into black clouds and rise into the sky, and then rain down below. She deliberately opposes me and damages my prestige. I still have dignity in front of other gods. Really? Woo, woo!" When Ao Guang said this, he pretended to cry.
Because the Jade Emperor was used to hearing Ao Guang's slanders, he had a preference for Ao Guang, so he said: "Ao Aiqing, don't be sad. Since the Immortal Guanggang broke the rules of heaven, how should we deal with it?"
Ao Guang was secretly happy and immediately reported: "Thank you for your wise judgment. I think we should first abolish the umbrella of the Immortal Boggang, and then punish her and her cronies and backers."
"Who are her cronies and backers?" the Jade Emperor asked.
Ao Guang thought at this time that if he directly named the person and said it without any evidence, he might be beaten down by others, so he said slyly: "Your Majesty, just wait and see what the Immortals will do in the future. I don't dare to say nonsense."
When the immortals heard that they were going to punish the Immortal Guanggang and destroy her umbrella, they all thought it was Ao Guang's conspiracy. But Ao Guang has recently become a favorite of the Jade Emperor, and no one wants to offend him.
At this time, the North Zhenwu Xuantian God, Tota Li Tianwang Li Jing, the third prince Nezha, Yang Jian, Baihua Fairy, etc. came out one after another to start the performance. They tried their best to protect the Boanggang Fairy Girl. She was because of the severe drought in Tiantangping District. In order to save the people from floods and fires, he was forced to open his umbrella and rain. He blamed Ao Guang for deliberately not raining according to the rules of the sky, deliberately causing drought in one place, and harming the people. He should be severely punished.
Because the Jade Emperor was partial to Ao Guang, he originally planned to kill chickens and monkeys to block the mouths of the immortals, but he was embarrassed when he saw:
King Tota Li Tianwang and his son have always been upright. They are the generals who defend the heaven. They can be said to be their own brothers. They must not destroy the Great Wall themselves;
Yang Jian is his grandson and holds the position of Protector of the Dharma: Fairy Baihua is also the niece of the Queen Mother, so how can he dare to touch her hair?
As for the Northern Emperor, he is one of the Five Emperors. After Pangu (the ancestor of Hongjun) created the world, he was granted the title of Qing Emperor in the east, Yan Emperor in the south, White Emperor in the west, and Xuan Emperor in the north. He was in the middle and was granted the title of Jade Emperor. The emperor jointly governs the universe.
Although the emperors from the four directions still respect themselves as the superior, they are equal in terms of hierarchy, so they naturally dare not embarrass him, and Patriarch Hongjun would not agree.
Nowadays, all the immortals are trying to protect the Immortal, and they are not protecting or protecting them blindly. Therefore, they dare not punish them lightly. In order to calm things down, they are determined to ignore the objections of the immortals and destroy the umbrella of the Immortal and turn it into a The mountain is fixed to the east of Tiantangping. Later generations called this mountain "Banggang Fairy Mountain".
Bogangxian was protected by Beidi and others and was exempted from punishment, but he lost his umbrella.
At first, she felt very unfair, but there was nothing she could do about it. As the saying goes: "The big rock will crush the crab! It's just that we can no longer help the people around Tiantangping to relieve their difficulties."
Later she thought: Can't the umbrella be remade after it's been scrapped? So she decided to make a new one, fight Ao Guang's evil behavior to the end, and do her best to relieve the suffering of the people.
She first chose a hill near the river to plant ramie, and soon it grew green. People in Tiantangping District called it "Yau Ma Gang."
She climbed to the top of the guard post again, monitoring Ao Guang's actions, and placing flax and water bowls where she would seize the flax and twist the thread so that she could weave it into linen cloth in the future and create a strong umbrella for the people. To bring blessings (there are now two stones, one large and one small, arranged on the top of Guanggang Mountain, arranged left and right. The big one is like the hemp basket used by the ancients, and the small one is like the water bowl for soaking hemp. Strange to say, the water bowl has water all year round. ).
Ao Guang, the Dragon King of the South China Sea, used his lustful power to destroy the ramie grown by the Immortal Poungang. The drought lasted for several months. The ramie in Yau Ma Gang was about to dry up. The local people knew that it was planted by the Immortal Poungang. , young and middle-aged men and women went to the mountains to dig ditches and search for water. They carried load after load up the hill and watered the ramies one by one to save the ramie.
Besides, after Hui Neng returned to the villa in the mountains, he was always concerned about the sufferings of the people there. He often thought of the incident of getting rid of the demon snake, and always felt that Ao Guang, the Dragon King of the South China Sea, would not let it go and wait for an opportunity to take revenge on the people there.
As expected by Huineng, soon the leader of Longzhai came to his door again, told him about the recent drought there, and begged Huineng to come to relieve the disaster and help Boggangxian.
Hui Neng was moved after hearing this, and his compassion prompted him to relieve the drought of the people there. So, he immediately rushed to Tiantangping Village with the leader of Longzhai.
Entering the realm of Tiantangping, I saw thousands of miles of red land, cracked fields, and almost drying up of seedlings. Groups of people carried buckets on their shoulders to carry water to the river to drench the crops. Hui Neng was so moved by this scene that he walked towards the crowd, said a blessing, and then said: "The drought is so serious, although you have perseverance to carry water to drench the crops." crops, but it is like a drop of water dousing a burning flame. If you can trust me, how about letting me pray to heaven for rain on your behalf?"
People were eager to relieve the drought, so they immediately brought Huineng and Longzhai master to Dusi Yamen and asked him to discuss with Dusi about praying for rain.
The next day, an earthen platform was built on the top of a mountain in the northwest of Tiantangping (behind Tiantangping Village). Taking the meaning of "gold generates water", flags were placed all around the earthen platform, and 28 strong men were selected, holding Flags stood on all sides to replace the twenty-eight constellations, and then Huineng went to the altar, burned incense and prayed to God, chanting some words. After knocking on the wooden fish, he poured clean water in all directions, and then slapped the gavel. For a moment, the sky was covered with dark clouds, lightning and thunder, and then a heavy downpour lasted for most of the day, completely eliminating the drought. , the ramie grown by the fairy Guanggang in Yau Ma Kong has also come back to life.
When all the immortals in the sky knew about this, they all said that it was because the Immortal Guanggang had "received a lot of help".
Ao Guang deliberately caused trouble and caused a drought that was lifted by the lower world. He was unwilling to use floods to take revenge.
He deceived the Jade Emperor with his sweet words and caused a heavy rainstorm, causing water from heaven and earth to burst out.
However, due to the high terrain in Tiantangping District, crops in some low-lying riverside fields were harmed. The dam mountain opposite Tianguangwei was riddled with holes due to the groundwater eruption, which was a real pain to the dam mountain god.
Because the water flows downward, the Xinjiangxi River flows through the Hetou and Bizhu areas. Due to the low terrain and narrow river surface in these places, sudden flash floods rolled in, and the river bed was not drained well enough, causing floods. Numerous houses collapsed and heavy losses were caused along both sides of the river.
That night, the fairy Guanggang used her water bowl to measure the amount of rain in the rainstorm, and calculated that it exceeded twice the amount approved by the Jade Emperor.
So she went straight to the Lingxiao Palace to accuse Ao Guang of his crimes.
Ao Guang argued that there was no such thing, but the Jade Emperor asked Boanggangxian to provide evidence.
While the stalemate was going on, the Dam Mountain God appeared in heaven in ragged clothes and covered with wounds, and told the Jade Emperor about Ao Guang's atrocities of not following heaven's rules and causing excessive rainfall; then the Xinjiangxi River God went to heaven to sue Ao Guang for causing floods indiscriminately. , more than 20 houses were washed away by floods on both sides of the Xihe River, and countless livestock, food, and furniture were washed away...
Faced with conclusive witness, the Jade Emperor had no choice but to punish Ao Guang for violating heaven's rules and imprison him in a heavenly prison.
The people of Tiantangping, who were suffering from drought, gradually became awakened and determined to use their own wisdom and hands to defeat the drought and create a happy life.
The people here declared war on the Dragon King, opened channels, built reservoirs, and launched a vigorous campaign to develop water conservancy and win agricultural harvests.
Ao Guang was released from prison shortly after he was imprisoned by the Jade Emperor. Unwilling to fail, he tried to use the method of moving mountains and seas, moving mountains and hills, blocking rivers, filling reservoirs, and creating bad weather to make it difficult for people to construct.
He lobbied the Jade Emperor, hoping to get his support.
He said: "Your Majesty, the unscrupulous people in the lower realms are now putting forward the slogans of 'not relying on heaven for food' and 'man can conquer nature', and are building water conservancy projects. They are so contemptuous of heaven. If they are allowed to succeed, where will the power of heaven be? We must try to find a way Stop them as soon as possible!" After hearing this, the Jade Emperor counted on his fingers, shook his head and sighed: "I say Ao Guang, things are not what they used to be! Everything in the world is not static. There will be a major earthquake every two thousand and five hundred years. Change. According to calculations, 2500 years of earth's destiny have passed, and now the 'people's destiny' has begun. Today's people's power, I also want to make it 70%, I advise you not to cause more troubles."
Ao Guang did not dare to say anything after hearing this, but he was still not convinced and planned to secretly sabotage people's actions to transform mountains and rivers and build water conservancy projects.
One day, the Immortal Lady of Baogang learned that Ao Guang was going to use the method of moving mountains to destroy the water conservancy movement of the people in the lower realms to open channels and build reservoirs. She immediately visited Our Lady of Leizu and borrowed the "Bag of Good Luck in the Universe". She sat on the top of Baogang Mountain and monitored Ao Guang. The action of light.
As soon as he discovered the mountains that Ao Guang had moved, he immediately threw up the "Qiankun Ruyi Bag" and put the mountains into the bag, completely destroying Ao Guang's criminal activities and ensuring the smooth progress of people's work of transforming mountains and rivers and building water conservancy.
The people of Tiantangping, facing the scorching sun and wind and rain, overcame all difficulties and relied on their own efforts to build water conservancy projects.
Soon, the reservoir sparkled and the river actually climbed up the hillside.
On the day when the Dawan Water Conservancy Project opened, an 80-year-old man whose home was 10 kilometers away from Tiantangping came to the anti-siphon port of Tiantangping with a cane to watch the river water rolling up the mountain. The old man stroked his beard and said with a smile: "We are now No need to suffer God’s cowardice anymore, ha, ha!” There was a burst of warm and crisp applause from the crowd of spectators.
