In the Journey to the West, there were many unique features in the plot of "Pray for Rain in Fengxian County". According to the plot adaptation, the original plot described that the four master and disciples saw the rain prayer notice in Fengxian County. The drought here for many years was because the county lord quarreled with his wife and overturned the offerings. The Jade Emperor thought that he was disrespectful to heaven and set up three difficult problems, namely Mishan, Mianshan, and Jinsuo, which caused the drought in the whole county for three years. Later, the county lord sincerely regretted it before it rained. However, there was a lack of ups and downs in such a plot, and it was full of preaching. In Journey to the West II, he had added many plots, such as a marquis snatching a girl, the Jade Emperor concealing the reason for his punishment, and Wukong and Bajie causing a scene in the Hall of Fragrance, which made the whole story more coherent. The plot was full of ups and downs and made people think deeply. Judging from the location, Yangshan Stone City in Shaoxing Keqiao was one of the locations for the ninth episode of Journey to the West, Pray for Rain and Fengxian County.

In the story of Fengxian County in Journey to the West, the Dragon King played a specific role. It had not rained in Fengxian County for three years. Sun Wukong thought that it would be easy to make the Dragon King rain because he had experience in praying for rain before. However, the Dragon King told Sun Wukong that Fengxian County was a place where the Jade Emperor had forbidden rain. If it had to rain, he must go to the Jade Emperor to plead for mercy. This meant that although the Dragon King had the ability to make rain, he was only an officer who carried out the order. Without the order of the Jade Emperor, he could not make rain on his own. Even in the face of Sun Wukong's request, he did not dare to disobey the Jade Emperor's order. This was also reflected in the mythological system constructed by Journey to the West. The power level of the Heavenly Court was clear, and the Jade Emperor had absolute control over the rain. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>
In the Chechi Country, there were three Daoists known as Hu Li, Lu Li, and Yang Li. They could call the wind and summon the rain. They were honored by the King of Chechi as the national teacher and revered Taoism. After Tang Sanzang and his disciples arrived at Che Chi Country, they had a series of adventures and fights with the national masters. One day, the common people suddenly came to the state teacher to pray for rain. The king ordered Tang Sanzang and the state teacher to have a bet to pray for rain. Under the protection of the traveler, the Tang Priest prayed for rain and came, but the national teacher could not and refused to accept it. The traveler convinced the king by making the Dragon King appear. The king was willing to send the master and disciple westward. In addition, in Fengxian County of India, due to the continuous drought, a notice was posted to invite a mage to pray for rain to save the country. Tang Sanzang read the notice and asked his disciples who could pray for rain. Wukong said it was not difficult to pray for rain. After the official reported this to the marquis, he came to beg Tang Sanzang and his disciples to save him. After the county marquis served them a vegetarian meal, Wukong chanted a spell to summon the old Dragon King of the East Sea, Ao Guang. The Dragon King said that it would rain if there was an imperial decree. Wukong went to His Highness Lingxiao to ask the Jade Emperor for rain. The Jade Emperor said that three years ago, the Marquis of Fengxian County had pushed down the vegetarian offerings and fed them to the dogs. He had made three oaths in the Hall of Fragrance. He had to wait until the chicken pecked all the rice mountains, the dogs licked all the faces mountains, and the lamp flames burned the chains before he could rain for Fengxian County. However, if he did charity and alarmed the heavens, these situations could be changed immediately. Wukong went back to ask Ming Junhou about the situation and told him the solution. Junhou vowed to devote himself to Buddha and began to do good deeds. Later, when Wukong prayed for rain again, the Jade Emperor found that the conditions had been met, so he ordered rain. Sun Wukong and the four immortals cast a spell to rain together, relieving the drought in Fengxian County. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>
In the related plots of Journey to the West, the plot of praying for rain involved different situations. For example, in the case of Feng Xian County praying for rain, the county lord had offended the heavens and caused a drought in the area. Only when certain conditions were met (chickens pecked the rice mountain, dogs licked the flour mountain, small candles burned the golden lock) would it rain. At first, Sun Wukong asked the Dragon King for rain, but the Dragon King refused because he did not bring rain gear and did not receive the Jade Emperor's rain decree. Sun Wukong went to heaven to pray for rain, but was told by the Heavenly Teacher and others that it should not rain. As for the Tiger, Deer, and Goat demons, they were not guilty of praying for rain because they were using the proper method of praying for rain and it was not illegal. In addition, the Dragon King had the authority to decide whether it would rain or not. In the case that the Heavenly Rules did not prohibit it, it could rain temporarily at the request of Sun Wukong. However, the Jing River Dragon King changed the rainfall without authorization when there was a clear decree from the Heavenly Court. Moreover, he did so because he was gambling with others. This kind of violation of the Heavenly Rules was serious. Watching Journey to the West: Sun Wukong Beats the White Bone Demon Three Times is not enough.
