(Avalokitesvara sits under the lotus, never extinguishing the fire in the heart)

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 itself out. The only thing to be thankful for was that the scorching heat had finally dissipated.

Lan Feng and Ye Heng ran in the rain holding umbrellas, and soon returned to the fishing village. Even though they had umbrellas, their bodies 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 and 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 Mr. Ye lying on the bed with a wet wipe on her forehead. He quickly went up to support Mr. Ye and shouted softly: "

Madam? Madam?”

When Ms. Ye heard the cry, she 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 Ye saw that he did not dodge, she could not hold back her tears 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. Then she and Lao Li went to the kitchen to light a fire to 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 listening to it.

Lao Li said: "Tsk tsk, your children are really lucky. There are noble people helping them wherever they go."

"That's right, no 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 chatting and laughing while eating, but the rain outside the window was getting heavier and heavier...

The river bounds the sky for 800 miles, and the rain falls into 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

Those who worship the Fish Basket Guanyin have always believed 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 is also the significance of building this statue at that time, so that he can be blessed.

Ze Fang.

But for several days, the rain had no intention of letting up, and the originally calm river surface became turbulent. Ye Heng stayed at home honestly these days. Seeing the rolling waves of the river outside, he did not dare to take a boat to fish.

Fortunately, I bought some food and stored it at home, so I can make do with it these days.

"Dad, when will this 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 weren't for selling

The golden carp exchanged some money, but now I'm afraid I won't even have anything to eat."

Lan Feng 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 murmured in his heart. He put out the 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

He stood up and opened the door with an umbrella. 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, if it rains, you can't stop it, 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 a daze and lifted himself off the bed. He suddenly felt a chill. He tilted his head and looked around, only to see that the bed was partially submerged in water. He stood up suddenly,

The water was dripping and she ran to her parents' room: "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 room, so they quickly tidied up and prepared to go to the yard to take a look.

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 raincoat and walked outside the courtyard gate and asked: "Your house is flooded too?"

The villagers all said, "Yes, 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.

Lan Feng returned home and put on his bamboo hat and raincoat, and put the flower sachet into his arms. The gourd was still hanging on his neck. 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 stop playing in the 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. It's just because of the heavy rain these days that 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 the heavy rain!!"

After saying that, the old village chief knelt on the ground and bowed down. Upon seeing this, all the villagers also 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 screamed, only to see the bamboo hats flying down the huge hanging rock.

"Ouch! Look!"

I don't know who shouted, and everyone looked in the direction of the fishing village. They saw that the Tongtian River was turbulent and set 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 good!!"

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 people 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 they are still there,

Just fine...

The wind was getting stronger and stronger, mixed with the heavy rain, which was blowing on people's faces and hurting them. The villagers stood helplessly in front of the Guanyin statue, praying that Guanyin Bodhisattva would appear and show them a clear path. But they never thought that in the Tongtian River,

The water in the river has become increasingly fierce!

Swept by the strong wind, the river water was rolled up to form a huge tornado water column. Accompanied by lightning and thunder, the water column actually pressed towards the fish basket Guanyin statue little by little!

There was only a "click!" sound, and a flash of lightning split open 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

, reflecting the dazzling white light, I saw two blue lotus flowers as big as stone mills poked out of 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 is covered in dark red dragon scale armor, and his arms are decorated with ghost heads and hands. He has a broad back and round carp tail, and a malignant tumor on his face. It is said that he is full of anger.

These lantern eyes and the fins on the gills make this demonic wind sound!

The villagers in Zhongzhong were usually law-abiding people, but they had never seen such evil faces. They were so frightened that they knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

The monster stood on the top of the wave angrily, leaned 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 itself. At this time, someone in the crowd said something to the old village chief's ear. The old village chief was startled after hearing this, and turned around and said to the monster:

"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 as a monster here again, which really put them in a dilemma.

"My lord," the old village chief shouted despite 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 before the Inspiration King was conquered by Guanyin, he left a golden carp here. When Guanyin surrendered to him, the monkey wanted to eradicate it, but the Inspiration King naturally refused. So he asked Guanyin to protect his spiritual seed to replace the Guanyin statue.

Collecting incense in the world, he would have the opportunity to leap over the Dragon Gate and transform into a dragon in the future. Guanyin was compassionate and agreed to him. Unexpectedly, a few days ago, he suddenly felt that the dragon energy of his spiritual seed was dispersed in this fishing village. The collapse of the dragon energy was a sign that his life was in danger. This
