"Reporting to the Jade Emperor, Ao Guang, the Dragon King of the East China Sea in the lower realm, has something to report to King Yama of the underworld."
During the semi-monthly court meeting in Heaven, King Yama and Ao Guang knelt on the ground in the upper hall, not daring to look at the Jade Emperor who was sitting on the throne.
Although they are also kings of the same side in the lower realm, in charge of the life and death of hundreds of millions of creatures, in the Lingxiao Palace at this moment, they are just ministers, and for some special reasons, their status is even more special. As ministers, they Be more cautious and careful.
"Tell me, what did that monster monkey do?" the Jade Emperor said in a calm voice.
This is originally an act, and the people present are all our own people. It is just a formality. Everyone just understands it tacitly, and there is no need to make it official.
And to be honest, the Jade Emperor is really too lazy to act now.
"Report to the Jade Emperor, that monkey broke into my East China Sea Dragon Palace, and also took away my sea-shaking treasure, the Sea-Dinging Needle, and wounded countless of my sailors. I asked the Jade Emperor to make the decision for Xiaolong!" Ao Guang knelt down with all his body in contempt. First, with runny noses and tears, he told his bitter history.
After these years of experience, he has figured out the character of the Jade Emperor in front of him.
This great emperor may have been humiliated by the Dragon Clan in his early years, so now he really likes to see the groveling attitude of the Dragon Clan. As long as the attitude is humble enough, he will be happier. If he behaves neither humble nor arrogant, he will probably find trouble with this great emperor. died.
There is no such precedent, and the reason why the four brothers Ao Guang became the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas is directly related to their being groveling and flattering enough.
really.
At this moment, when the Jade Emperor saw Ao Guang's appearance, he couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction.
"That demon monkey is so courageous that he even dares to rob the East China Sea."
"Huh, I won't let him go!"
The Jade Emperor said it in a nonchalant manner, then turned to look at King Yama, with a glint in his eyes and said: "King of Hell, please tell me, what good deeds did the monkey do in the underworld?"
Their previous plan was to have the monkey burn the Book of Life and Death, and if possible, it would be best to have him release the souls of countless ghosts suppressed in the eighteen levels of hell to the mortal world.
At that time, if those evil ghosts and dead souls commit murderous crimes, they will naturally need to use the monkey's heavenly luck to offset them. In this way, the monkey's luck will naturally weaken.
This is a good thing for heaven.
Even in the future, letting the monkey lead the demon clan to confront the heaven, causing the death of countless creatures, will also have this consideration.
In a word, the more evil this monkey commits in the future, the more his luck will be eliminated, and the less threat he will pose to heaven.
This is what Heaven is thinking now.
Of course, this speed must be controlled well, because if it is not controlled well and the boundless demonic energy in the monkey is released, the entire three realms will suffer disaster.
It would be best to allow him to suffer endless killings without being too sealed, and still give him some hope.
To complete such a task, the best way is to coexist with suppression and Zhao'an, and pull to the extreme. As long as you master the degree of control, you can play this monkey with applause.
Then in the end, after the evil spirit in the monkey was completely eliminated, thunderous means were used to directly suppress him for hundreds of years to eliminate the evil spirit in his body.
Of course, this is just the beginning, and a series of complex operations are waiting behind it.
But in the future, the main implementer is Buddhism. The mission of Heavenly Court is in the early stage. As long as he can be suppressed safely, then his merits will be considered complete.
Thinking of the specific action steps discussed in the previous meeting, the Jade Emperor's ears also heard the voice of King Yama.
"Your Majesty, the monkey didn't even enter the gate of hell. He woke up at the gate, smashed the plaque on the gate of hell, and then walked away."
"He also said... He also said that Xiao Wang should go to Huaguo Mountain to apologize." King Yama stammered.
The relationship between the underworld and heaven is actually somewhat subtle.
Although the Heavenly Court nominally rules the three realms, it is only in name. There are many forces that are actually disobedient to the Heavenly Court.
For example, this is the case in Buddhism, and the same is true in the underworld.
The real owner of the underworld is Empress Pingxin, and the ten kings of hell, including King Yama and King Qin Guang, all work for Empress Pingxin.
Of course, these people all come from different forces. For example, King Qin Guang is from Buddhism. In addition to King Qin Guang, Buddhism also has Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva who is also in the underworld.
Heaven also has its own people in the underworld.
Just like this King of Yama.
The biggest difference between the extraordinary high world and ordinary dynasties is that personal force can surpass everything.
For example, in the current situation in the underworld, although the Yama Lords of the Tenth Palace are all from Heaven and Buddhism, they are only managed by Empress Pingxin.
As long as you think about it, Empress Pingxin can deprive them of their rights with just a thought, or even kill them all with just a thought.
The reason for this is because Empress Pingxin controls the power of laws regarding the underworld and the six paths of reincarnation.
This is the most important thing.
Just like the Sanqing Taoist ancestors are in charge of most of the laws of heaven, and Buddhism is in charge of some of the laws of humanity, this is the real reason why these great powers can sit firmly on Diaoyutai.
This is also the reason why they, the powerful ones, are extremely afraid of Sun Wukong.
Because they actually knew very well that Sun Wukong was actually created by Tiandao, and he wanted to replace Tiandao and ask them to steal the power of laws from Tiandao.
As thieves, they are naturally nervous and try their best not to return the power of these laws.
"snort……!"
"What an arrogant monkey!"
"Where is King Li of Tota?" The Jade Emperor snorted coldly.
"The general is here!" From the starting position, King Li Tianwang of Tota took one step forward, half-kneeling on the ground and said respectfully.
Nezha next to him looked at this scene and couldn't help but curled his lips and reached out to pick out his ears out of boredom.
"You will bring a hundred thousand heavenly soldiers and descend to the realm immediately. You must level the Huaguo Mountain for me, and then capture the monkey and bring him to heaven for trial." He said in a deep voice.
"Your Majesty, the little god has a different opinion!" Suddenly at this moment, Taibai Jinxing stepped forward quickly and saluted respectfully.
The Jade Emperor naturally knew why the old man came out, but since it was acting, he had to act in full.
He looked a little down and said, "Say!"
"Your Majesty, I heard that the monkey has some magical powers. In that case, why don't we invite him to heaven, place an order on him, and let him go to heaven to serve as an official. This way, we won't need to use weapons and weapons."
"And all the monkey's previous behaviors were due to lack of education. After he goes to heaven, we let him learn the rules, and he will naturally become sensible."
The unhappy expression on the Jade Emperor's face lightened slightly when he heard this. He nodded and said, "Since you said so, I'll leave this job to you!"
"What's wrong with that monkey? You're the only one to ask." The Jade Emperor said solemnly.
"Um?"
Nezha, who was bored below, suddenly showed a trace of suspicion on his face when he heard this confrontation between the king and his ministers.
His intuition told him that this matter might not be that simple.
As the head of civil servants, Taibai Jinxing has so many things to do every day, how can he have time to recruit an unknown monkey.
And there has never been such a precedent in heaven.
Monsters that offend heaven are not killed directly, but are recruited to serve as officials. This is really abnormal.
After the court meeting dispersed and he followed King Li Tian out of the Lingxiao Palace, Nezha immediately expressed the doubts in his heart.
"This thing is indeed weird, but it has nothing to do with us. We just have to do our own thing!" After Li Jing finished speaking in a deep voice, he couldn't help but pause for a moment and then warned: "You must remember, don't do anything in the house." The matter of causing trouble has caught His Majesty's attention. If you screw up the matter out of curiosity, you will definitely not be able to live with it."
"Humph, what's the big deal? I've only been facing the wall for five thousand years at most. How can he still kill me?" Nezha laughed playfully, turned around and hummed a tune while carrying the rocket gun and left.
"This traitor!" Li Jing looked at Nezha's back and gritted his teeth with hatred, but there was nothing he could do.
The relationship between him and Nezha is quite delicate. There is both father-son affection and some unclear grievances, so the relationship is not actually very good.
Nezha was not just talking. After leaving Li Jing, he walked out of Nantianmen in a flash.
His father was a general who guarded Nantianmen, so it couldn't be easier for him to stay in the lower realm without anyone noticing.
When he was bored in the sky, he would play in the lower world.
Li Jing also knew about this, but he just turned a blind eye.
After all, Nezha's identity is also very special. Like Sun Wukong, he is also one of the variables of the Three Realms. And the same thing is that Nezha agreed to be under the calculations of the powerful people of the Three Realms as soon as he was born.
After a series of events, he finally succeeded in making him ascend to heaven and become a general in heaven.
Of course, compared to Sun Wukong, Nezha is easier to operate.
Because Nezha has parents, and having parents naturally has weaknesses, which makes them easier to deal with.
Unlike Sun Wukong, the stone monkey raised by nature is really not easy to deal with.
However, Heaven is also deliberately deepening the relationship between Sun Wukong and the monkeys in Huaguo Mountain. As long as they become Sun Wukong's weakness, Sun Wukong will naturally become easy to deal with.
Soon Taibai Jinxing led the lower realm to Huaguo Mountain.
Nezha, who had been waiting halfway, followed quietly and also headed towards Huaguo Mountain.
From a distance, Nezha saw a demon flag flying above Huaguo Mountain.
"Monkey King!"
"What a loud tone!"
Nezha smiled disdainfully. As one of the heavenly warriors who has been subduing demons from the lower realms for many years, Nezha has seen too many names like this. There are even more arrogant ones. Some monsters even dare to claim to be the father of the Jade Emperor.
Of course, such guys usually don't end well.
"I don't know what the Monkey King's methods are like in Huaguo Mountain. He hasn't done anything for decades, and now his hands are really itchy!" Nezha muttered to himself.
And while Nezha was observing Huaguo Mountain, the Taibaijin Star on the other side had already landed in front of the Water Curtain Cave.
Seeing such a sudden visit from an old man with a white beard, the monkey demon who had been watching the gate had already run towards the depths of the Water Curtain Cave.
Soon Sun Wukong learned about this.
He couldn't help but roll his eyes. According to the records of Journey to the West, this should be Taibai Jinxing who came down to earth to protect him.
And if he goes to heaven, he will be named Bima Wen.
Then came a series of humiliations. After he returned to heaven, he would naturally be greeted by one hundred thousand heavenly soldiers and generals from heaven.
And the most important thing is that if he does this Bi Mawen in heaven this time, it will cause a serious blow to his reputation in the demon clan, and even more than half of the demon kings he recruited before will quietly leave. .
Sun Wukong had already discussed with Zhu Biao that he would never go to the so-called Zhao'an this time.
Soon, Taibai Jinxing walked into the Water Curtain Cave escorted by many little demons.
Seeing Sun Wukong sitting in the first place, Taibai Jinxing couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat. He bowed respectfully to Sun Wukong and said, "Your Majesty, I am Taibai Jinxing in the sky. Are you here today to invite your Majesty to be an official in heaven?"
"Taibaijinxing?"
"Being an official in heaven?" The Bull Demon King who had been wandering around Huaguo Mountain next to him couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this.
He knew the identity of Taibai Jinxing, the leader of all the stars in the sky, and a well-deserved civil servant. He actually came down from the world to invite an unknown monkey to be an official in the sky. This is a bit funny no matter how you think about it.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but turn his head and glance at Sun Wukong.
Think about it secretly.
He didn't pay attention to it before, but now after seeing Taibai Jinxing, he looked back and thought, no matter how he looked at it, there was something weird about his wise brother and Huaguo Mountain.
"Is he a relative of a big shot in heaven?"
The Bull Demon King was thinking wildly.
But no matter what, his idea of drawing Sun Wukong into the Demon Court may come to nothing.
Now that Taibaijin Star is in the lower realm, it means that this wise brother of mine has fallen into the eyes of Heaven. Such a mission will not allow him to enter the Demon Court no matter what.
Even he himself is in danger.
"No, I have to find a way to leave Huaguo Mountain."
"Otherwise, if the Heavenly Court notices me, it will be no joke." At this moment, the Bull Demon King already wanted to give up.
"Being an official?"
"What official position?" Sun Wukong asked with a smile.
At the same time, he was also observing the demon kings on both sides.
The fear in the Bull Demon King's eyes, the excitement and envy in the Poisonous Dragon's eyes, the doubts in the Black Monkey's eyes, and the reactions of many great demons were all captured by his eyes.
"The specific official position cannot be determined yet, but don't worry, Your Majesty, I will definitely enjoy eternal life and be majestic." Taibai Jinxing said.
"hehe!"
"It's really majestic among the Pegasus group!"
Sun Wukong sneered in his heart, but his face remained calm.
He waved his hand and said: "Well, since I can go to heaven and become an official, then I wonder if all my brothers can go with me?"
"What kind of official titles can they be given?" Sun Wukong asked again.
"this……!"
"It's hard to say now, but your Majesty can go to heaven to see the situation first. After your Majesty is granted an official position, it's not impossible to come back and take all the kings to heaven together." Taibai Jinxing said with a smile on his face.
