Chapter 20 Hail God

Wang Yuncang, an ancient man, was ordered to go to Chu to be an official. After taking office, I want to visit Zhang Tianshi in Longhu Mountain. On this day, when he came to the lake, he was about to board the boat. A man on the water came in a small boat to see Mr. Wang.

The prince did not dare to neglect and met him in person. He saw that the person was dignified and extraordinary in appearance. He took out a thorn post in his arms and said, "On the order of Master Zhang Tianshi, I heard that the old gentleman was coming to welcome him."

The prince was surprised and thought, "When I went out this time, the secret news, Zhang Tianshi was able to predict the prophet, and he was really a god." With infinite admiration in his heart, he sincerely followed the messenger to Longhu Mountain.

Zhang Tianshi held a banquet and served many servants, all of whom were energetic, dressed in appearance, and very different mortals, and the messenger was also among them. After a while, the prince whispered to Zhang Tianshi about the origin of the messenger. Tianshi smiled and said, "This is your hometown. Don't you know him?"

The prince shook his head, and the heavenly master said, "He is not someone else, but the hail god Li Zuoche General Li in folklore." When the prince heard the words, he looked moved and unconsciously had more respect.

The heavenly master said, "Just now, General Li told me: I'm going to rain and hail with the order of the Jade Emperor. I'm here to say goodbye."

The prince asked, "Where are you going?"

Tianshi said, "Zhangqiu."

The prince changed his color and said, "The boundary of Zhangqiu is bordered by the territory under my jurisdiction. Please be merciful and don't hail."

The heavenly master said, "This is the imperial edict of the Jade Emperor. The number of hail has already been determined. How can it be changed?"

The prince begged, "Please have mercy from the heavenly master."

Tianshi pondered for a long time and said to Li Zuo Lane: "Drop the hail on the valley and don't hurt the crops." General Li agreed and got up to go. The heavenly master told him, "The distinguished guest is here. Please be polite when you leave."

General Li nodded and paced to the courtyard. His feet were smoking and flying in the clouds. At first, he flew very low, only as high as a big tree. He slowly flew up and gradually rose to the top of the attic. He only heard a crash. The house shook, and the bowls and chopsticks fell to the ground on the table. Looking at General Li, he had already gone north and disappeared. The prince said in shens, "Go like thunder, the power of immortals, as far as Si."

The celestial master smiled and said, "This is still because I warned that the hail god slowly left, otherwise there would be a sound of flat ground and his breathing would be a hundred miles away."

The king bowed, said goodbye and returned home. He sent someone to Zhangqiu to inquire. It was the day when the hail poured down, the ditches were full, and the valley was full, but there were only a few grains in the field, and the seedlings had never been damaged.
