Chapter 410 - 396 The Monk Who Subdued the Monkey and the Pig, Part 2
According to the elder brother’s intention, the Jade Emperor who manages myriad affairs daily, really has no time to bother with such trivial matters and has probably forgotten about them long ago. As long as the marquis truly repents and considering their journey to the West, the Jade Emperor won’t bother with further words.
The marquis promptly said, "This official has truly repented wholeheartedly."
Sun Wukong nodded and said, "We of course believe you, but that old man, the Jade Emperor, is not aware!"
"You should prepare another table of vegetarian offerings, worship the heavens, and sincerely recite scriptures in repentance. As the saying goes, a sincere heart is a spiritual one. As long as your sincerity moves the heavens, the timely rain will arrive immediately," he said.
"Thank you, elder, for your guidance. This official will prepare right away," said the marquis.
Upon hearing this, the marquis immediately thanked Xuanzang and the others, then ordered another table of offerings prepared for the heavens, and the marquis himself, after bathing and changing clothes, knelt before the table and recited scriptures in penitence.
At the same time, the marquis ordered all the people of the county to pray to the heavens together.
Xuanzang also recited scriptures and prayed to the heavens along with the marquis.
In the Nine Heavens above, the Talisman Enforcer, carrying Daoist and Buddhist documents, arrived outside the Celestial Gate to pass on these documents, which were directly brought to the Hall of Illumination and presented to the Four Celestial Masters, who in turn presented them to the Jade Emperor.
After reviewing the documents, the Jade Emperor nodded slightly and said, "Since those folks have good intentions, let’s see how the three affairs at the Fragrance Spreading Hall have gone?"
Suddenly, a general in charge of the Fragrance Spreading Hall reported, "The established mountains of rice and flour have all collapsed. In a moment, all the rice and flour were lost, and the locks also broke."
