"So the king was ready to approve my papers right then, but the Immortals convinced him that maybe the rain was just late, and had actually been summoned by them? So Wukong said, okay, the dragons who make the rain are still hanging around invisible. If the Immortals can convince one of them to appear, then it's their win, but if not, then Wukong will get one of them to show up and it's our win. So the Immortals prayed and pleaded but no dragons showed up - but when it was Wukong's turn all four of them suddenly appeared to us!"
