The Dragon King in the Journey to the West has no right to speak, and rain should be their job, but the Dragon King living in this world still has to go through the approval of the Jade Emperor.
The Dragon King of Jinghe was beheaded by Wei Zheng with the Hui Sword, because he did not act according to the instructions of the Jade Emperor and gave The wrong number of raindrops to Chang'an City, which was usually counted as a work error, and the Jade Emperor could punish it, and there was no need to take his life. This also shows that the Celestial Realm has a complete and strict working system.
However, Sun Wukong did not assign the Dragon King to rain on the way to the scriptures, why were these Dragon Kings not held accountable by their superiors?
Before doing this, you need to understand what are the ways in which the Dragon King rains in the Journey to the West World.
The first way: the Jade Emperor decreed.
The Dragon King of Jinghe and Yuan Shoucheng returned to Jinghe after making a bet, and then received the Holy Will of the Jade Emperor in the Jing River, which stated the number of rain points and the specific time of rain, so the Dragon King had to have the Holy Will written by the Jade Emperor himself when it rained.
The second way: the five-ray method.
The content of the contest between Sun Wukong and tiger power immortals is to ask for rain, as long as they seek rain, even if they are winners, Goku uses the golden hoop stick to signal that no one has come out to rain for half a day, and tiger power immortals very easily recruit rain squads, monkey brother originally thought that tiger power immortals were deceitful, but learned the truth in the mouth of the squad, tiger spirits did not cheat, they all acted in accordance with the formal procedures:
Tianjun said, "That Daoist Five Thunder Method is a real one." He sent out the documents, burned the documents, and alarmed the Jade Emperor, who threw down his will and went all the way to the Nine Heavenly Heavens YingYuan Thunder Puhua Tianzun Mansion. I waited for the order to come and help the thunder and lightning rain. ”
The Five Thunder Method is a high-level Spell of Taoism, and as long as this spell is used, the Jade Emperor will also open the door of convenience.
The third way: Sun Wukong asks for rain.
The Dragon King can't rain casually, but Sun Wukong's request for rain is only a matter of minutes. Sun Wukong rarely showed his medical skills, and King Zhu Ziguo had the privilege of seeing this spell of Brother Monkey.
Brother Monkey showed the hope and smell, and then prescribed medicine for the king, one of the medicines was the water without roots, that is, the rain in the sky, Sun Wukong originally planned to let the Dragon King rain, but the Dragon King felt that it was inappropriate, and Brother Monkey took a step back to let the Dragon King sneeze a few times: the old dragon was in mid-air, transporting Jin saliva, not leaving the front and back of the palace. There will be an hour when the Dragon King resigns from the Great Sage and returns to the sea.
The Dragon King rained for an hour in the palace before returning to the East Sea, indicating from the side that the Jade Emperor's instructions were not important.
The relationship between Sun Wukong and the Dragon Kings is very shallow, but rain has always had rules and regulations, can not be arbitrary, Goku can not use internal relations to randomly call the Dragon King to rain, but on the way to the scriptures he did it, the Dragon King more than once opened the door of convenience for him, why is this?
Because Guanyin promised Sun Wukong that the heavens should be called the earth spirit, and the Dragon King was also within the scope of Guanyin, it would be driven by Goku.
