"Report!"
In the Lingxiao Palace, Emperor Ziwei has returned to his palace. At this moment, Taibaijinxing is handling government affairs in the Lingxiao Palace.
"What's the matter?"
Taibai Jinxing put down the eucalyptus scroll in his hand and looked at the clairvoyant and shunfeng ears who hurriedly came to report. These two gods were the eyes and ears of the Jade Emperor who monitored the three realms on the surface. Because it is on the surface, they can generally only see and hear what others want them to see and hear.
"The two star kings of the Sangmen Diaoke died and resurrected from the God's Platform, and then invited the four useless star kings to go down to the lower realm."
Taibai Jinxing nodded and said, "What else?"
"The four star kings of Seven Kills, Tian Kill, Hei Sha and Sui Sha requested orders from the lower realms to capture the three star kings Sangmen, Diao Ke and Tian Xi and return them to heaven."
Hearing this, Taibai Jinxing felt happy and said, "It's accurate... but did they miss a Star Lord?"
The clairvoyant was silent for a moment and said: "Perhaps they know that they are no match for the Four Wasted Star Lords."
All the stars in heaven descended to the realm one after another.
Zhang Guifang and Feng Lin never expected that only one of the five star kings would be invited to come down to earth. The fourth star king agreed to come down to earth simply because his hands were itchy and he wanted to compete with Sun Wukong.
When Sun Wukong caused trouble in the Heavenly Palace, he wanted to take action. After all, the Monkeys were the masters, and the skills displayed by Sun Wukong were indeed extraordinary, which made him feel itchy and unbearable. But when he asked the Jade Emperor for a fight, he was rejected. Among the stars in the heaven, there were not a few who could fight with the Sun Wukong at that time, but the Jade Emperor refused to send the order to send the stars to take action.
Except for a few of the top gods on their list of gods, they are not actually reused by the Jade Emperor.
In addition to Lei Bu, the ones who were most deployed were Twenty-Eight Stars and Jiuyao Star Lord.
Lei Bu heard that the Grand Master was in charge, and all the ministers in the heaven, whether they were gods or immortals, whether they were enemies before or not, were very convinced of him, so it was reasonable for him to be reused by his majesty.
As for Twenty-Eight Stars and Jiuyao Xingjun, except for Chong Yingbiao, the leader of Jiuyao, they are all disciples of the Jie Cult who died in the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation. And these disciples who followed the leader of the Jie Cult and were defeated on the list of gods, followed him. The Jiejiao disciples who became gods after the death of Shang Dynasty were also different. There was no clear Shang and Zhou faction, so they quickly turned to the Jade Emperor.
Those who were on the list of gods at that time were all capable and unruly people. They just performed their priestly duties according to the positions of gods on the list of gods, and they were more or less obedient to the Jade Emperor... Maybe the Jade Emperor could use the list to force the order, or lower it. discipline.
But the Jade Emperor never did this, and the result was that both parties had a tacit understanding to maintain the superficial relationship between king and minister.
In other words...the righteous gods with distinct attributes of the Shang and Zhou camp each have their own masters, and they only submit to His Majesty in name... Just like Zhang Guifang and others now, when King Zhou showed up, they couldn't help it.
It’s also thanks to the fact that King Zhou is a happy star in heaven, otherwise heaven would not know what kind of chaos it would be like.
Zhou Ying's subordinates were even closer to Emperor Ziwei. After all, the current incarnation of Emperor Ziwei was granted the title after Boyikao's death.
As for incompetent ministers like Fei Zhong and You Hun, they would not dare to cause trouble in front of the Jade Emperor, and the Jade Emperor would not like to see them. Therefore, it seems that there are 365 righteous gods on this list of gods, but there are really not many that the Jade Emperor can appoint according to his wishes. ….
On the contrary, the four great heavenly masters who relied on their own abilities to cultivate Taoism came from behind. In addition, there were also King Li Tian and Nezha at their disposal. Emperor Zhenwu subdued demons in the lower realms, and he really didn't need to use them at ordinary times.
In this way, things have always been peaceful.
But now, a piece of gossip that came out of nowhere has attracted King Zhou to the lower realm and stirred up this stagnant water.
And this news is that Taibai Jinxing got the instructions of the Jade Emperor and inadvertently let Tiannu know it. As a result, the whole heaven knew... He is really a talent.
Lord Taibai Xing believed that it was the Four Waste Stars who went down to the world to seek bad luck for Sun Wukong. However, if it was said that the four Killing Stars wanted to descend to earth and capture King Zhou, Taibai Jinxing thought there was another question.
As a close minister of the Jade Emperor, he is responsible for and knows much more than everyone imagines.
Gods must be pure of heart
If you have few desires, you cannot move your ordinary mind.
This is also a rather troublesome law for some couples on the list of gods. For example, Deng Chanyu and Princess Long Ji could simply avoid the palace and use this as an excuse not to have more contact with Tu Xingsun and Hong Jin;
However, Seven Kills Star Lord Zhang Kui and his wife Peach Blossom Star Lord Gao Lanying are deeply in love as husband and wife and have not broken off their relationship. In addition, they are very measured and their clergymen also perform their duties. As long as the red line is not touched, generally The Queen Mother sent people to give verbal warnings.
The main reason is that they are in a special situation. They are a couple who can become gods... If they were not bound by the list of gods, they would rather stay together in the lower world for the rest of their lives than become gods in heaven.
Gao Lanying was originally Zhang Kui's good wife, and this verbal strategy was also planned by her.
When Zhang Guifang came to invite him, several Killing Stars happened to accept Zhang Kui's invitation and gathered at the Seven Killing Star Lord's Mansion to discuss the matter.
Gao Lanying saw that her husband had already intended to make a move. The first time she stopped him, he listened to her words and did not move;
This time she didn't stop her anymore. Moreover, she knew that her husband was different from Zhang Guifang, who was finally King Zhou. He was loyal to the Great Shang back then. Regardless of whether he was King Zhou or not, he would do his best to serve him. .
Otherwise, after the defeat, he had the ability to escape from the earth. Where in the vast Three Realms could he not go?
But he finally went to Chaoge and was intercepted and killed by Yang Jian and others on the bank of the Yellow River.
"If your husband wants to go down to the lower world, I have some words to advise you."
"Ma'am, please speak."
"This time in the lower realm, we must first go to the Lingxiao Palace to ask for an order. We only say that the lower realm is to capture the three star kings Tianxi, Sangmen and Diaoke who are privately in the mortal world. With this name first, and after obtaining the order in the lower realm, the husband can advance and retreat in a controlled manner. .”
"Good!" Zhang Kui thought it was reasonable, so he naturally followed goodness.
"Secondly, after your husband comes down to the realm, don't rush to find King Zhou, but seek out Master Tripitaka first." Gao Lanying said solemnly: "It is said that being famous is not as good as meeting him. Master Tripitaka's reputation is now quite widespread in the three realms, but my husband still has to see it in person. His character...makes decisions based on this.”
Gao Lanying looked at Zhang Guifang on the side and said: "I have never avoided Xingjun by saying these words. I just want Xingjun to know... Although we were merchant ministers in the past, we have served loyally to the death. Now we have been awarded the title of God of Heaven. , it is the right time to take charge of the divine order and maintain the order of the stars... His Majesty King Zhou was a human king during his lifetime, and it is reasonable to refuse to be a minister; but the generals and others were generals during their lifetime, guarding the city gates and protecting the people; Now that he is in charge of the Heavenly Court, he is a disaster star and an evil star, so he should be more careful. If the divine power loses its control and causes wanton harm to the world, wouldn't it be a sin?"
"Husband, generals...I have spoken and said it here. Whether you abide by small rules or do great justice is entirely up to you."
Gao Lanying's words came from the bottom of his heart, and Zhang Kui also listened to his heart. However, sometimes his actions were not clear in words. He only spoke of the righteousness of the Conferred God War. Wasn't it also destiny? But Madam had good intentions after all, and Zhang Kui knew that she was right, so he nodded in agreement: "Keep what Madam said in mind."
Gao Lanying felt helpless when she saw it. She just kept it in mind and said otherwise...but it was not a waste of time.
Zhang Guifang saw this and did not continue to pester him, and said: "In that case, I will go down to the next level first."
Seeing Zhang Guifang leaving in a hurry, Gao Lanying called out from behind: "General Zhang might as well convey this to His Majesty King Zhou."
Zhang Guifang paused for a moment, then cupped her hands behind her back and said, "Farewell!".
