Chapter 408 - 395 - It’s really wasted on a dog_2
The two men, seeing how fierce Sun Wukong looked, didn’t dare to disobey and hurriedly handed over the public document they were holding. Sun Wukong took the notice document and read it carefully before laughing and saying, "Other officials all refer to themselves as subordinates, so why does your Marquis alone claim to be a ’Shangguan?’ It’s written right here, ’Marquis Shangguan of Fengxian County.’
The government officer hurriedly replied, "Elder does not know, but ’Shangguan’ is our Marquis’ surname."
"There’s actually a surname ’Shangguan’? That is indeed rare," Sun Wukong said, his old face blushing, making a casual remark.
Zhu Bajie laughed and said, "Brother Monkey clearly hasn’t read enough. There is a line in the ’Hundred Family Surnames,’ Shangguan, Ouyang."
"Go! What would you know, you blockhead?" Sun Wukong glared at Zhu Bajie with irritation.
Xuanzang quickly said, "Disciples, let’s not get caught up in joking for the moment. Who knows how to pray for rain? Let’s ask for some sweet rain to relieve the local people; it would be a good deed."
Upon hearing Xuanzang’s question, Sun Wukong proudly boasted, "What’s so difficult about praying for rain? Turning rivers and overturning seas, moving stars and changing fights, kicking the sky and playing with wells, spewing mist and spraying clouds, carrying mountains and chasing the moon, summoning wind and rain, these were all just child’s play for Old Sun."
Xuanzang was overjoyed to hear this and quickly nodded, "If that’s the case, then please use your Divine Skills to summon sweet rain for the people of Fengxian County!"
"Easy! No problem!" Sun Wukong readily agreed, saying, "It’s a trifle."
The government officer was immensely grateful upon hearing this and quickly invited Xuanzang and the others to the County Government Office, before sending someone ahead to report back to the Marquis.
While they were talking, the Marquis of Fengxian County rushed over upon hearing the news. Seeing Xuanzang and his party, the Marquis knelt down in the street, his face filled with emotion as he said, "This subordinate is the Marquis Shangguan of Fengxian County. I pay my respects to all the honored Elders. I hope the Elders will display their Divine Skills and pray for sweet rain for Fengxian County on our behalf. On behalf of the people of Fengxian County, I thank the Elders. We humbly ask that the Elders show great compassion and save the lives of all the people in our county."
