"Hahaha, settled, settled! Happy!"
But it was said that the Stone Monkey King tore up the Book of Life and Death, abandoned King Yama, laughed three times, waved the golden cudgel all the way out of the Netherworld, and a moment later returned to the Flower and Fruit Mountain on a somersault cloud.
The spirit returned to the body and continued to sleep soundly.
He didn't even have the slightest idea that he was in trouble.
However, King Yama was deeply aware that a catastrophe was imminent, and quickly summoned the Yama Kings of the Ten Palaces to discuss countermeasures. He also reported the matter to Ksitigarbha Patriarch, the Ghost Emperor of the Five Directions, and asked people to inform the supreme Netherworld Emperor.
Finally, he went to heaven in person and reported everything to the Jade Emperor.
When Yang Gang, the Nether Emperor who was hidden in the Nether Sky, heard the news, he was not surprised. He only said to King Qin Guang who came to report the news, "I already know about this, go ahead."
He neither said he wanted to take care of it nor said he didn't care.
The ambiguous attitude makes people think deeply.
The underworld in this world, through Yang Gang's hands, is completely different from the original superior-subordinate relationship between underworld and heaven. Although the Emperor of Heaven is the supreme king of the three realms, due to the previous tripartite covenant, he must respect the opinions of all parties if he wants to intervene in the Netherworld.
Among them, the one who speaks with the most weight is naturally the aloof Netherworld Supreme - Yang Gang's body as the Netherworld Emperor.
The only one who can compete with him is the reclusive god Hou Yi.
And these two people... are all his incarnations.
As for Ksitigarbha Patriarch, the newly promoted Ghost Emperor of the Five Directions, and Yama of the Ten Palaces, unless the Emperor of Heaven's will is strong enough, no one would dare to bypass the will of the Netherworld Emperor when encountering major events.
The matter involving the Stone Monkey King is very involved, so he must be asked for his opinion first.
the next day.
The Stone Monkey King woke up and stretched.
Hearing that there was a monkey around him, Monkey Sun asked: "How much wine did the king drink last night? Why is he so sleepy?"
"Um?"
The Stone Monkey King had not fully awakened his will, so he said casually: "I dreamed last night that two ghost messengers came to seduce me and took my soul into the underworld..." At this point, his voice suddenly stopped, and his consciousness gradually became clear.
"Wait! That wasn't a dream last night!"
"No, someone plotted against my grandson! I impulsively tore up the book of life and death!" He finally realized that he had committed a crime and suddenly felt bad.
When the monkeys and monkeys around heard this, they were all shocked.
Tear up the book of life and death?
Isn’t that a serious crime, Lord Justice?
wrong.
The great master and his own great king are brothers, so their life and death records should be fine.
All the monkeys breathed a sigh of relief.
But he saw the Stone Monkey King looking solemnly, looking at the sky outside the Water Curtain Cave.
"Is this the journey to the west that my brother said? But... I am clearly in the Huaguo Mountain in the far east, why should I travel to the west?" The Stone Monkey King murmured to himself, and suddenly an idea came to him.
"Could it be...that this matter has something to do with Buddhism?"
He doesn't understand the mystery, let alone the operation of cause and effect.
He had no choice but to secretly send someone to Guanjiangkou to question the distinguished younger brother and sister.
Three days later.
But I only got one reply, "Whether the Journey to the West begins or not depends entirely on the Monkey King's thoughts."
"at me?"
The Stone Monkey King was even more confused.
Talk about the other side.
King Yama has already reported to the Heavenly Court and told the Emperor of Heaven everything that happened in the Lingxiao Palace.
There was a lot of discussion in the palace.
Many people feel a headache and are in trouble.
If the offender was an ordinary person, they would have ignored it, but he happened to be the Stone Monkey King, the brother of Yang Gang, the god of justice.
Don’t you see, Yang Gang has already closed his door in the Judiciary Temple to think about his mistakes because of Nezha.
If something happened to the Stone Monkey King who was obviously framed, God knows how he would react? Many people can still vividly remember the scenes in which Yang Gang caused an uproar for his mother, the Stone Monkey King, and Nezha.
Anyway... they don't dare to take on this task.
The Jade Emperor, who was sitting high in the sky, saw this and understood in his heart. Although there was no displeasure on his face, he was already angry in his heart.
Who is the supreme emperor of the three realms?
My nephew is so pampered and arrogant, and he dominates the heaven, but he doesn't take his uncle seriously.
Let’s talk about the ancient times…
"His Majesty."
Just when the Emperor of Heaven was riding a tiger and was unable to dismount, Shenjun Taibai finally came to the rescue.
He bowed respectfully and said: "As Yang Jun's brother, the Monkey King on Huaguo Mountain has always abided by the law. This disaster may have been a misunderstanding. I suggest that we should not deal with it with force. Moreover, he is a powerful person in the three realms. He has vast supernatural powers and holds ancient artifacts that are indestructible and cannot be conquered by ordinary people."
"Now that the Three Realms have been decided, the overall situation is not yet stable. Your Majesty... we still need to look at the lessons learned from Nezha!"
He first explained the rights and wrongs, and then explained the serious relationship. His remarks made all the immortals nod their heads.
The Emperor's expression suddenly changed.
"You mean, I'm afraid of them."
"No." Lord Taibai hurriedly lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty is so powerful in the three realms that everyone is dissatisfied. But...but after all, he is not Nezha, and he has committed an unforgivable crime."
"Your Majesty, I would like to think of the kindness of the living beings, issue an imperial edict of peace, and solve the matter like Nezha. The Stone Monkey King will think of the justice god, and presumably there will be no more trouble."
"oh."
The Emperor's expression softened, and Lord Taibai's words seemed to be exactly what he wanted, "Do you have any good ideas, please? Please tell me in detail."
"yes."
Taibai Shenjun breathed a sigh of relief and said slowly: "A powerful person like the Stone Monkey King doesn't care about fame and fortune. Your Majesty only needs to recruit him to the upper realm and grant him an official position, big or small. His name is in the book of life and death." The matter of delisting.”
"As for those descendants of monkeys, why not let them live freely in Huaguo Mountain?"
"The Stone Monkey King has received the reward, and I am grateful to His Majesty. If he is granted the destiny, he will be rewarded later. If he violates the destiny, he will be captured. And he can be restrained here. Isn't it the best of both worlds?"
"Of course." Hearing this, the Emperor of Heaven immediately looked kind and pleased, and greatly praised the plan of Lord Taibai.
Then he entrusted the whole matter to him.
"My lord, take your orders."
Taibai Shenjun bowed and retreated, and then summoned Wenquxingguan to write an edict and recruit people from the lower realms.
What happened next was like the trajectory of another world. The Stone Monkey King was successfully persuaded by Shenjun Taibai. In order not to implicate his brothers, he had to go to heaven to be granted the title aggrievedly.
Although he felt that he had lost his freedom, he also felt that the Emperor of Heaven was so polite to him and that his face was quite dignified.
But he didn't know it.
All this was the beginning of the unprecedented catastrophe that overturned the Heavenly Palace.
same day.
The Stone Monkey King went up to heaven and entered the palace to pay homage to the Jade Emperor and resolve the conflict.
Then he was led to the palace to rest and wait for the official reward.
It's just that the immortals couldn't help but have a headache because of his reputation as a reward. After all, this is not the real Journey to the West, because of Yang Gang's relationship, the Stone Monkey King now has a special status.
If the reward is too light, I'm afraid he will be angry and lose all face in heaven.
If the reward is too heavy, then the Stone Monkey King has no merit and no virtue, and has no contribution to the heaven, which will easily cause dissatisfaction among the immortals.
And at this time.
The Stone Monkey King, who had just settled down, could not sit still. He left a monkey hair clone in the fairy palace and sneaked out quietly, hoping to find his brother whom he had not seen for many years.
Along the way, we also took in many fine wines, delicacies, and peach fairy fruits, and headed to the Hall of the God of Justice.
