This can be hard on the whole people. River saw dry roads, Kuaikuai crack, pray tell people God Pianxiang request field quickly falls soaker. Four played a Dragon Jun compassion, then with the request to the Jade Emperor to the next world some rain. Jade Emperor can not the speaker, the four rows Dragon king did not dare to rain.
But I do not know ye, blue sky suddenly float on a cloud, and then the wind was underway, he saw "rushing" of rain fell from the sky. People cheered: "Yeah rain is as precious as oil flows over the floor under it!!" Then some hand rain to quench their thirst, some decumbent to kowtow days, thanks to the old world of timely rain.

Do not believe he went to see the Jade Emperor, a look that was originally golden corn collapse bloom . You say you cheated you, this is the popcorn. Taibaijinxing inspiration, he said: "People may call this the golden curry, world corn beans called thing." Say a few words to the Jade Emperor lived. Taibaijinxing usurper Empress Wu went on to say, so what people sin? But for Yulong sowing rain, drought was in Jin, who gave us the time to respect incense it? Emperor listened to feel justified, then edicts Yulong reinstated.
Since then, the folk began February Peas fried customs, and some fried side will be singing: "February, fried peas, beans flowering Rend everyone Okura full, household Xiaotun flow. invicta day spilled oil, food and clothes have no worries. "
