(Sitting under the Guanyin Lotus, the fire in your heart will never be extinguished)
The mountain rain was so intense that it was as if all the fierce temper on this sunny day had turned into dark clouds and vented out. The only thing to be thankful for is that the scorching heat has finally dissipated.
Lan Feng and Ye Heng ran in the rain holding umbrellas and returned to the fishing village not long after. Even though they had an umbrella, both of them were soaked to the bone.
Ye Heng and his son came to the yard of the second aunt's house. The second aunt saw them from the window, quickly opened the door and said: "Oh brother! You are back! You, what's wrong with you?!"
Ye Heng smiled awkwardly: "Oh, it's a long story. Where is my wife?"
The second aunt rubbed her hands before leading him into the inner room. Ye Heng entered the room and saw Mrs. Ye lying on the bed with a wet wipe on her forehead. He quickly went up to support Ye and shouted softly: "Madam? Madam?"
Ye heard the cry and slowly opened her eyes. When she saw Ye Heng next to her, she was shocked and angry. She slapped Ye Heng firmly on the face.
"Snapped!!"
Ye Heng did not dodge and smiled. When Mrs. Ye saw that he didn't avoid him, she couldn't help crying and hugged Ye Heng and cried bitterly...
The second aunt and Lan Feng were watching from the side, but they couldn't help but intervene. At this time, Lao Li pushed the door in from outside the house and saw this scene.
"Hey, you're back?" The second aunt nodded and signaled him not to disturb Ye Heng and his wife. That's all. Then he and Lao Li went to the kitchen to light a fire and cook.
The rain was still falling, and the two families gathered around the table to eat. Ye Heng told everyone the cause and effect of the incident, and everyone was still frightened after hearing it.
Lao Li said: "Tsk tsk, your children are really lucky. There are noble people helping them wherever they go."
"That's right, it doesn't matter whose son it is." Ye Heng said with a smile.
Mrs. Ye rolled her eyes at Ye Heng and said, "That's why I took my son to worship the Fish Basket Guanyin a few days ago. This is called praying to many gods, and you will be blessed by the gods. You are just going to cause trouble!"
Everyone was eating and laughing, but the rain outside the window was getting heavier and heavier...
The river bounds the sky for 800 miles, and the rain enters the river without knowing its bottom.
It is common to see a lot of rain in summer. Although the Tongtian River is wide and deep, it has never shown signs of flooding in hundreds of years. So this little rain is not enough to worry these villagers. In addition, they worship Guanyin with fish baskets and always believe that Guanyin Bodhisattva will bless them. The Fish Basket Guanyin Statue is located on a hanging rock upstream of the fishing village. It is quite far away from the river and can just see the fishing village. This was also the significance of building this statue at that time, to bring him blessings.
But for several days, the rain showed no sign of receding, and the originally calm river surface became turbulent. Ye Heng stayed at home honestly these days. When he saw the waves rolling in the river outside, he didn't dare to go fishing in a boat. Fortunately, I bought some food and stored it at home, so I can make do with it these days.
"Dad, when will the rain stop?" Lan Feng and Ye Heng were sitting in the shed behind the house, looking at the sky not far away.
Ye Heng took a deep breath from his pipe, blew out a long smoke ring and said, "Oh, I don't know. I have never seen such heavy rain for such a long time... I haven't gone out to fish for several days. If it wasn't for selling The golden carp exchanged some money, but now I'm afraid I won't even have anything to eat."
Lanfeng held his chin and asked again: "You think this river won't flood our village, right?"
Ye Heng wanted to say no, but looking at the endless heavy rain, he also felt guilty in his heart. He put out his cigarette, knocked the ashes on the ground and said, "Probably not..."
The two were in a daze when they suddenly heard someone knocking on the courtyard door. Ye Heng stood up and opened the door with an umbrella. When he saw the old village chief standing in front of the door with an umbrella, he asked: "Old village chief, why are you here with such heavy rain?"
The old village chief was hunched over, wearing a bamboo hat and a coir raincoat and said, "That's not true. Seeing that the rain has not stopped, everyone is worried that the river will flood. So we decided to go together tomorrow to pray to Guanyin Bodhisattva." "
Ye Heng thought to himself, you can't stop it from raining, but if Guanyin Bodhisattva can appear, it will naturally solve the problem at hand, so he agreed to the old village chief.
Early the next morning, Lan Feng dangled his hands in confusion and lifted himself off the bed, suddenly feeling a bit of coolness. He tilted his head and looked around, only to see that the area under the bed was partially submerged in water. He stood up suddenly and ran to his parents' room with water dripping down his face: "Dad!! Mom!! Get up quickly, the water is coming!!"
Ye Heng and his wife were still sleeping when they were suddenly shouted out by Lan Feng and immediately sat up from the bed. They looked around and saw that water had begun to accumulate in the house, so they quickly tidied up and prepared to go to the yard to take a look.
At this time, they discovered through the window that some villagers were already frowning and talking at the door. Ye Heng put on his straw sandals and put on his raincoat and walked outside the courtyard gate and asked, "Was there water in your house too?"
The villagers all said, "Yeah, it's raining too much." "It's not good, there's water in the house."
Seeing more and more people gathered at the entrance of the village, Ye Heng quickly went back to the house and asked Ye and Lanfeng to bring rain gear and go with the villagers to the Fish Basket Guanyin.
Lanfeng returned to the house, put on his bamboo hat and raincoat, and put the flower sachet into his arms. The gourd was still hanging on his neck, and he looked at the whistle on his wrist again, thinking that nothing would happen...
When the old village chief saw that the villagers were almost here, he shouted in front of the crowd: "Everyone, listen to me! It has been raining heavily these days, and the water in the Tongtian River has risen for no reason. This has never happened before. , many villagers' homes are about to be flooded. We don't have a Dragon King temple here, only the fish basket Guanyin Bodhisattva has been blessing us. Let's go together today to offer some incense to the Bodhisattva, and let him tell the Dragon King about this. How about it stop raining?"
"Okay!!" The villagers all nodded in agreement. So without any further delay, these villagers walked towards the Fish Basket Guanyin Statue one after another.
Lanfeng and Huzi were naturally playing around together. Even though it was a rainy day, the two children couldn't sit still and played in puddles in the rain. After a while, everyone came to the fish basket Guanyin statue.
There was a faint light in the rain clouds, and dead branches and leaves were scattered on the ground. I saw the old village chief walking tremblingly to the small steps in front of the Guanyin statue and shouting:
"Guanyin Bodhisattva, I am the village chief of that small fishing village. Thanks to your care for so many years, everyone in the village is safe and sound. Just because of the heavy rain these days, the water in the Tongtian River is almost overflowing, so I I brought a group of villagers to petition you in the rain, please tell Lord Dragon to stop this heavy rain!!"
After saying that, the old village chief knelt on the ground and worshiped. Upon seeing this, all the villagers knelt down in the rain and kowtowed to the fish basket Guanyin.
At this moment, a strange wind blew and blew away the bamboo hats of some villagers. The villagers exclaimed as they saw the bamboo hats flying down the huge hanging rock.
"Ouch!! Look at it!!!"
Someone shouted, and everyone looked in the direction of the fishing village. I saw the rough waves of the Tongtian River setting off huge waves. In an instant, the fishing village was trapped in the ocean! !
Exclamations spread, and the villagers began to discuss anxiously.
"What should I do!! My home is gone!!"
"How can this be great!!"
When the old village chief saw that the village was flooded, he immediately became confused. He quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed while crying: "Bodhisattva!! Please show your spirit quickly. The river has flooded the village. What should we do!!"
Ye Heng hugged Ye Shi and Lan Feng at this time, his eyes flickering. But then he thought about it. Fortunately, the old village chief asked them to come to Guanyin, otherwise they might all be dead at this time. As long as people are still there, that's fine...
The wind is getting stronger and stronger, mixed with heavy rain, which hurts people's faces. The villagers stood helplessly in front of the Guanyin statue, praying that Guanyin Bodhisattva would appear and show them a clear path. But I never thought that the water in the Tongtian River would become more and more fierce!
Swept by the strong wind, the river water was rolled up to form a huge tornado. Accompanied by lightning and thunder, the water column actually pressed towards the Fish Basket Guanyin Statue!
There was only a "click!" sound, and a flash of lightning split the fish basket Guanyin statue. Guanyin fell to the ground, and his head was thrown into the river and disappeared! Everyone exclaimed and was at a loss. When they looked up, reflected in the dazzling white light, they saw two green lotus flowers the size of stone mills protruding from the waterspout column!
"Wow..."
The tornado receded slightly, and a monster was revealed in the pouring rain!
What a big fish spirit that is more than three feet tall! He was covered in dark red dragon scale armor, and his arms were inlaid with ghost-headed hands. Broad back, round waist, carp tail, sticky beard and malignant tumor on the face. There is a saying that the lantern eyes are covered with anger, and the fins on the gills make the sound of the demonic wind!
The villagers in Zhongzhong are usually law-abiding people, but they have never seen such evil faces. He was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.
The monster stood on the top of the wave angrily, bent down and stared at everyone and said: "You...who took away my spiritual seed?!!"
Seeing that it was confused by such a question, the old village chief said tremblingly: "Spiritual seed? Your Majesty, we don't know what spiritual seed you are talking about? Who are you?"
"Who am I?" The monster smiled bitterly, "Five hundred years...five hundred years!!"
The monster roared to himself. At this time, someone in the crowd said something to the old village chief's ear. The old village chief was surprised when he heard this, turned around and said to the monster again:
"You...you are the king of inspiration, right?!"
After the monster heard the words "Inspiration King", his expression changed, he picked up the nine-petal lotus bag and smashed it down with a hammer!
"boom!"
The remaining Guanyin statues were smashed to pieces again, and everyone hurriedly hid aside.
"There are still people who remember the King of Inspiration! Stop talking nonsense!! Hand over my spiritual seed!!" The monster started to go crazy again.
Everyone didn't know why. Now the Tongtian River flooded the fishing village and cut off their escape route. The inspiration king was acting like a monster here again, which really put them in a dilemma.
"Your Majesty," the old village chief shouted in the heavy rain, "What is your spiritual seed? Tell us!"
The inspiration king raised his head, glanced at the villagers and said: "A gold-tailed carp!!"
It turns out that the King of Inspiration left a golden carp here before he was conquered by Guanyin. When Guanyin descended upon him, the monkey wanted to eradicate it, but the King of Inspiration naturally refused. So he asked Guanyin to protect his spiritual seed to collect human incense for the Guanyin statue. In the future, he would have the opportunity to leap over the Dragon Gate and transform into a dragon. Guanyin was compassionate and agreed to him. Unexpectedly, a few days ago, he suddenly felt that the dragon energy of his spiritual species was dissipated in this fishing village. The dissipation of dragon energy was a sign that his life was in danger, so he got angry and flooded the houses here.
