Chapter Twenty-Seven: Erlang Zhenjun
Mu Zha drove the auspicious clouds, and after a while, he arrived outside the Nantian Gate. After passing the check, Muzha hurriedly rushed to the Lingxiao Treasure Palace. At this time, the Jade Emperor, the Queen Mother, Taishang Laojun, Guanyin Bodhisattva and a cadre of immortals were all very nervously listening to the reports of the two heavenly generals Clairvoyant and Shunfeng Ear on the battle situation of the attack on Huaguo Mountain, and suddenly saw Muzha coming back, and they all began to stare at Muzha.
Mu Zha stepped forward to meet the Jade Emperor first, and then met Guanyin Bodhisattva. Then he reported to the Jade Emperor and said, "The disciple is not talented, and he has not been able to defeat that demon monkey." This is a letter written by the former commander to His Majesty, please take a look at it. After speaking, Mu Zha handed over the handwritten letter of Li Jing, the Heavenly King of Tota, to the fairy child on the side, and asked him to present it to the Jade Emperor.
After reading it, the Jade Emperor frowned, and felt irritated in his heart: "Are they all a group of rice buckets? There are so many people, even a monkey can't catch it." ”
Seeing that the Jade Emperor's face was wrong, the Queen Mother asked, "Your Majesty, what is the content of this letter?"
The Jade Emperor said: "Li Tianwang explained the situation of the battle in his letter. None of those results were too good. ”
Taishang Laojun on the side looked at the Jade Emperor's expression, then turned his head to look away, and thought: "I don't think it's 'too good', but it's extremely bad." ”
At this time, the Jade Emperor put down the letter in his hand and asked Mu Zha: "Walker, you have fought with that demon monkey below, how do you feel the strength of that demon monkey?"
Muzha replied, "Back to Your Majesty's words." The strength of the demon monkey is indeed not bad, and it is insidious and cunning, and its intelligence is almost human. If you go it alone, it's a bit difficult. But with more and less, I am afraid that they will get in the way of each other. ”
Well, that's pretty much what Li Tianwang's letter meant. It's going to be tough. After speaking, the Jade Emperor sighed again. There was a feeling of irritability in my heart.
When the other immortals heard this, their hearts were not very comfortable. I didn't dare to speak, for fear that what I said was wrong, and I would be counted down by the Jade Emperor again. So they all keep their heads down and don't speak.
Guanyin Bodhisattva saw that the atmosphere was so weird, and he felt that if he didn't leave, it would only be more troublesome later. She didn't want to wade into the muddy waters of the Heavenly Court.
As soon as Guanyin Bodhisattva wanted to say goodbye, he heard Taishang Laojun say: "Guanyin Bodhisattva seems to have something to say, is it a good idea?"
Hearing Taishang Laojun say this, everyone looked at Guanyin Bodhisattva. The Jade Emperor asked, "Guanyin Bodhisattva, what do you think?"
Guanyin Bodhisattva was shocked by these questions for a while, but in this case, if she said, "I didn't think of anything", it is estimated that the face of the Pure Land of Bliss will be lost by her. She could only bite the bullet and say, "Poor Ni heard that there is a person with great powers, and there must be a way to subdue that demon monkey." Merely...... It's just ......"
Tie Guan Li on the side couldn't help it, and asked, "Guanyin Bodhisattva, now that time is pressing, what is it?"
Guanyin Bodhisattva replied to Tie Guan Li's words: "This person's identity is very special, just blame the poor nun for saying his name, and your face will not be too good-looking." ”
Hearing Guanyin Bodhisattva's words, Lan Caihe smiled and said: "What a joke, who has our Heavenly Court ever blamed, and who else dares not to give our Heavenly Court face?" As soon as Lan Caihe's words were finished, many voices echoed him. However, at this time, the Jade Emperor's face suddenly became more gloomy, and it seemed that the Jade Emperor had already guessed a rough idea.
When Taishang Laojun saw the expression of the Jade Emperor, he also felt a little bottom in his heart. He saw that the conversation between Guanyin Bodhisattva and everyone was relatively stiff here, if everyone continued to say this, when the name was said, there would inevitably be a dispute between Guanyin Bodhisattva and the gods, and it would not end well. He coughed a few times and said, "Don't be rude." Guanyin Bodhisattva, let you see and smile. ”
Guanyin Bodhisattva said, "It doesn't matter. Was it the poor nun who was rude in the first place?"
When Taishang Laojun wanted to say something again, the Jade Emperor opened his mouth and asked: "Guanyin Bodhisattva, what are you talking about, but Yang Jian, the 'Manifest Saint Erlang Zhenjun'?" As soon as this name came out, the faces of the immortals changed greatly, and they were afraid of the Erlang God.
At the beginning, Yang Jian used the three-pointed two-edged gun and axe in his hand to kill from the ground to the heavens, and then from the heavens to the ground. Moreover, not long after the establishment of the Heavenly Court, the three Heavenly Venerables and the Jade Emperor were very busy in order to take care of the Heavenly Court, and they had no time to take care of Yang Jian's affairs, so Yang Jian easily saved his mother. At that time, after Yang Jian saved his mother, the family returned to the Jiangkou to live in peace. Those mortals also called Yang Jian "the true monarch of the holy Erlang", and praised Yang Jian's filial piety. After the three Heavenly Venerables stabilized the situation in the Heavenly Court, they once again forced the Jade Emperor to attack Yang Jian. The Jade Emperor first sent heavenly soldiers and generals to secretly kill Yang Jian's father "Yang Tianyou", captured Yang Jian's mother, and used the sun to burn Yang Jian's mother to death. After Yang Jian found out, he made another big fuss in Heavenly Court, but he was almost caught, so he could only leave Heavenly Court with his subordinates. At this time, the three Venerables were just busy cultivating, handing over the Heavenly Court to the Jade Emperor to take care of. The Jade Emperor actually cares about his sister, but he is forced to do so, so he is so ruthless, and now that his sister and Yang Tianyou are dead, the anger of the three Tianzun has also disappeared a lot, so he made his own claim and sealed Yang Jian and the Three Holy Mothers to heaven to take office, but Yang Jian tore up the holy decree, fought the heavens, and still lived in Guanjiangkou. And in order to find an opportunity to clear the grievances of her mother and father, the Three Virgins went on an errand in heaven. After that, it was the three Heavenly Venerables who wanted to go to the next level, but they were calculated by the Jade Emperor and Taishang Laojun. Now, the Jade Emperor is personally in charge of the Heavenly Court, and he is also busy cleaning up the chaos of the Heavenly Court, and he can't remember this person. Now that it was mentioned by Guanyin Bodhisattva, the Jade Emperor felt that his head was a little dizzy.
Guanyin Bodhisattva replied: "Exactly." ”
"Guanyin Bodhisattva, don't you know, that Yang Jian was originally the sister of the Jade Emperor who broke the rules of heaven, and went to the mortal in private, how can he be compared with us?" said Wude Xingjun on the side.
"That's my rudeness. The poor nun didn't know the reason, and it ruined everyone's mood. The poor nun is not with everyone. Guanyin put his hands together and bowed to everyone.
Ke Muzha couldn't stand it anymore, he was already a gate tiger, he stepped forward, arched his hand to the Jade Emperor and said: "Your Majesty, in this situation, do you still have to stick to that day? If you don't want to think about it, don't talk about the face of the heavenly court, you may not even have your life." In this situation, is it because His Majesty wants to drive the expedition in person?"
Hearing this, Lu Chunyang frowned and said, "Walker, pay attention to the tone of your speech. ”
"Your Majesty......" The Queen Mother whispered to the Jade Emperor with a gloomy face.
The barefoot immortal came out and said: "Your Majesty, 'the family has family rules, and the country has national laws', and the rules of heaven cannot be changed......"
"Enough. The Jade Emperor interrupted the words of the barefoot immortal and said, "Come here, spread the will of the union, and order Erlang Zhenjun to lead the people to capture the demon monkey." "I saw a heavenly messenger who received the holy decree of the Jade Emperor, and immediately ran to the mouth of the Guanjiang River. The atmosphere of this hall is dull and depressing, for fear that if you stand in this hall for a long time, you will directly close your breath.
"Your Majesty, this matter is not appropriate......" Han Xiangzi among the Eight Immortals came out to play.
The Jade Emperor waved his hand and said, "Don't say it again, Lian has his own decision." ”
On that day, due to the urgency of the situation, he drove the auspicious clouds straight to the mouth of the Guan River. In less than half an hour, he arrived outside the Erlang Zhenjun Temple.
"Stop. Who's coming?" asked, the ghost judge guarding the door, who stepped forward with a gun to stop Tiancha.
"I am an envoy of the Heavenly Court, and on the order of Yuyi, I have come to send the holy decree to Erlang Xiansheng Zhenjun. "Tiancha knows that these people don't want to see the people of the Heavenly Court, and the relationship between Erlang Xian Zhenjun Yang Jian and the Jade Emperor is also unpredictable, so he speaks very politely.
"Please go back, Mako-kun is not a guest. "The doorkeeper didn't mean to give way, and he was going to rush away that day.
Tiancha wants to leave but doesn't dare, these Erlang God's subordinates are not good people, and they have a holiday with Heavenly Court, maybe they will really shoot him, but now the situation is urgent, if this holy decree is not delivered, it is indispensable to go back to a board, and it is possible to be punished a little more severely.
This Tiancha took a deep breath and said, "Trouble to report." This time is a good opportunity to invite Erlang Zhenjun to go out of the mountain, exorcise demons, show his magical powers, and make a name for the Yang family. ”
"Get out. My grandfather's fame is big enough. You go quickly. The doorkeeper danced the red tassel spear in his hand, and was so frightened that he shrank back.
Seeing this, Tiancha said, "Then please pass this holy decree to Erlang Zhenjun." ”
"Let's go. Our lord doesn't want this thing. The tone of the gatekeeper was full of impatience.
At this time, Tiancha also began to lose a little temper. I thought to myself: "I talk to you in a good voice, but you don't listen, wait for me to go to the Jade Emperor to accuse you of the crime of 'great disrespect'." ”
"Who is shouting here?" At this time, Kang Anyu, the "head of the six brothers of Meishan", heard that there was a loud noise outside, so he walked out of the temple with his crescent shovel. I saw a gatekeeper arguing with another person about something.
"Kang Ye, that is an envoy sent by Heavenly Court, saying that he came to ask the Divine Monarch to lead troops to battle on the order of the Jade Emperor Lao'er. The doorkeeper saw that Kang Anyu came out, and immediately explained the situation.
When Kang Anyu heard that it was "an envoy sent by Heavenly Court", he frowned. He stepped forward and asked, "You were sent by Heavenly Court?"
"Exactly. I was ordered by the Jade Emperor to ask Erlang Zhenjun to subdue the demon monkey. "I saw Kang Anyu come out and ask him that day, so I had to say it again. In case he can see Erlang Zhenjun and hand over the holy decree, whether the matter is successful or not has nothing to do with him.
"Then you wait here first. I'll go in and make a report. After speaking, Kang Anyu hurriedly walked inside. I thought to myself, "What kind of madness is the people of this heavenly court, they will actually send the holy decree here. ”
That day, he said: "There is Lao Kangye." He thought to himself, "Let's see how it goes." Otherwise, if I go back like this, even if I explain what happened just now, I don't know if the Jade Emperor is on my side or his nephew's side. ”
Kang Anyu ran to Erlang God Yang Jian's quiet room and shouted, "Big brother, it's troublesome." Heavenly court wants you to deal with some demon monkey. ”
Yang Jian, the Erlang God who was in the quiet room, also frowned when he heard this, and he didn't have the heart to cultivate. said: "Call everyone together and discuss what to do......"
After a while, several other people from the Six Saints of Meishan gathered here.
The second uncle, Zhang Boshi, was dragged in by the third Li Huanzhang and the fourth Yao Gonglin. That Zhang Boshi still shouted: "Let go of me, I'm going to cut down that heavenly dog." Third, fourth, let me go......"
"Enough, in front of the eldest brother, you must not be presumptuous. Kang Anyu yelled at Zhang Boshi. When Zhang Boshi found out about Yang Jian's quiet room, he immediately quieted down.
Yang Jian saw that everyone had arrived, so he said, "I called everyone here to discuss the matter of this Jade Emperor coming to us......
"Big brother doesn't need to say more, I'm going to cut down that bird now. Zhang Boshi loudly interrupted Erlang God Yang Jian's words.
"Idiot! I only know how to fight and kill all day long, and if things are that simple, big brother doesn't need to consult with us. Kang Anyu scolded Zhang Boshi.
The third Li Huanzhang said: "Big brother, I think that the court must not be at ease. They have so many immortals, but they still want us to go over and help, they must want to destroy us. ”
At this time, the fourth Yao Gonglin also said: "That's right." We made trouble in the heavenly court twice, killed many of them, and the eldest brother's parents ......" Speaking of this, Yao Gonglin's words suddenly stopped, and everyone's faces became very gloomy, especially Yang Jian's face was bruised.
The fifth old Guo Shen said softly: "The hatred between our two families is irresolvable, what does it mean that the court sent someone to send the holy decree?"
But the sixth straight Jian said: "Big brother, we should take this holy decree." After speaking, he kept staring at Yang Jian's face. And Yang Jian and everyone suddenly turned their heads to look at Zhijian.
Zhang Boshi, the second child on the side, shouted: "Sixth, you are crazy!"
"Second Brother Zhang, don't get excited, listen to me and understand. The sixth straight took a deep breath, stepped forward, and continued, "For our brothers, what is the attitude of this Heavenly Court, it doesn't matter if the six of us are there, after all, we are not all the way to the Heavenly Court, but the eldest brother is different from us......"
Then Zhijian said to Yang Jian: "Big brother, although Heavenly Court killed Ling Zun Ling Tang, it caused Ling Zun Ling Tang's soul to fly away. But now there are still people pointing at you behind your back, big brother, in case one day the Jade Emperor is moved by them again and sends troops to attack us, then we will never be able to escape again. The only way we have now is to borrow the name of Heavenly Court and create a piece of heaven and earth. Even if someone has an opinion about me, they won't dare to speak again......"
After Kang Anyu heard this, his eyes lit up and he said, "What the sixth brother said makes sense. After all, what Heavenly Court says now is reason, and what it does is the rules. We can only survive by relying on the heavenly court. Moreover, Heavenly Court wants to use us to help them get into trouble, and we can also use Heavenly Court to fight for what we want. ”
Zhang Boshi scratched his head and said, "What are you talking about, how can I hear it in a fog and not understand it at all?"
"Second brother, don't talk, just listen. The fourth Yao Gonglin said.
"Just talk a lot...... you say" Zhang Boshi waved his hand, looking unhappy.
At this time, Yang Jian was also thinking in his heart: "They are all thinking about me, what have I thought about for them? After all, it is not easy to hide in Tibet." I think it's better to accept the dispatch of Heavenly Court, at least so that the brothers can have an identity and go out in a bright way. ”
Yang Jian said to Kang Anyu: "Boss Kang, you go and call that Tiancha to the living room, and we will go to the living room to see him now." ”
Kang Anyu answered and went out. When he went out to the temple gate, the heavenly difference was already impatient, but he didn't dare to leave if he wanted to, so he could only wander around in the same place.
That day, when he saw Kang Anyu come out, he hurriedly ran up and asked, "What did Erlang Zhenjun say?"
Kang Anyu said: "Please come with me, Zhenjun wants to see you." ”
Tiancha followed Kang Anyu and thought in his heart: "Great, give this thing to Yang Jian, and I can go." No matter what Yang Jian says, I can make a difference. ”
When Kang Anyu took Tiancha to the living room, Yang Jian and a few others were already sitting there.
Tiancha held the holy decree of the Jade Emperor in both hands and said, "Please Erlang Zhenjun to accept the decree." ”
"Take your head, take it, bring it. Zhang Boshi snatched the holy decree from Tiancha and handed it to Yang Jian.
"You ......" he just said a word that day, and then shut up, he didn't dare to provoke these people, otherwise it would be a question of whether he could get out alive.
Yang Jian opened the holy decree and saw that it was written: "...... Huaguo Mountain demon monkey 'Monkey King' committed chaos. Because of stealing peaches, wine, and pills in the palace, he disrupted the peach conference. Now there are 100,000 heavenly soldiers, 18 nets of heaven and earth, surrounded the mountain and ambushed, and never won. After success, high promotion and heavy reward. Yang Jian almost laughed when he saw the end, and thought to himself: "It turned out that those rice buckets had no ability, so they remembered me." ”
Yang Jian closed the holy decree and said to the heavenly messenger: "You go back, just say that I will take someone to catch the demon monkey." Boss Kang, send off. ”
"Okay. Then I'll go back and tell the Jade Emperor what Zhenjun said first. After saying that, he followed Kang Anyu out of the temple that day, and then ran away in a smoke. In the face of these murderous and unblinking madmen, he was really scared, for fear that if he didn't pay attention, his life would be gone.
He returned to Heaven that day and told the Jade Emperor about Yang Jian's promise to send troops.
The Jade Emperor listened, waved his hand and let the day retreat. At this time, the Jade Emperor thought in his heart: "What is this Yang Jian's heart thinking, he actually agreed." ”
