Chapter 2: The Book of Battles under the Jiazi of the Water Division's Mansion
It is said that the white chief manager took his little followers to step on the colorful auspicious clouds and returned to the "Grand Governor's Mansion". Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The Grand Governor's Mansion is located in a small corner on the outermost edge of the Heavenly Court, and there are sparse cars and horses in front of the door, except for a few of his fox friends and dogs, no cyclamen has never stepped into the mansion door. The Grand Governor's Mansion is not comparable to the majestic mansion of Shangxianmen, but it can be regarded as a sparrow, although it is small, it has all the organs. It's rare to be in a remote location (equivalent to the fifth ring road outside the capital) but also at ease.
Bai Jiazi entered the mansion, he lay down on the easy chair, squinted his eyes and looked at the fat attendant Xiao Sweep, and said angrily: "I think that my Bai Shangxian is also a thousand-year-old Taoist, a talent, and a character with hands and eyes, but the Jade Emperor asked me to take charge of the health of this heavenly court, so boring." As he spoke, he picked up the crystal clear fairy peach in the jade plate and took a bite, looking sad and compassionate. Xiao Sweep also nodded and said: "Yes, yes, the head manager is a big talent, the jade tree is in the wind, the Jade Emperor doesn't let you take charge of important positions, you really don't know talents." Such a complaint, Xiao Sweep's ears have been calloused for a long time, and he just followed a few words by the way.
At this time, the boy came to report: Lord Steward, Bi Ma Wen Sun Qian is visiting.
Then, a monkey-faced human body, wearing a three-grade official uniform, swayed and thin monkey walked in with funny official steps.
It is said that the position of Bi Ma Wen was originally just an unpopular official position in charge of the imperial horse, when the Monkey King was edicted to heaven, the Jade Emperor in order to send away this monkey who likes to cause trouble, let him be Bi Ma Wen.
Later, the Monkey King protected Tang Seng to obtain the true scriptures, subdued demons and subdued demons, made great contributions, and finally cultivated to become a Buddha, in order to defeat the Buddha. In order to commend Sun Dasheng's merits, the Jade Emperor promoted the position of Bi Ma Wen, which he once held, to the five-rank official position, so as to give Sun Wukong, the Buddha who defeated him, a face, so that he would not feel insulted.
This Sun Qian is the "prime minister" of Sun Wukong when he was the king in Huaguo Mountain Water Curtain Cave, because of his flexible brain and many bad ideas, Sun Wukong recommended him to the Jade Emperor, and the Jade Emperor appointed him to take over Sun Wukong's position of Bi Ma Wen.
Bi Ma Wen is the wine and meat friend of Mr. Bai, and the two of them often inspect the heavenly court together, and they both like to drink and play chess, so they have become inseparable friends.
Bi Ma Wen entered the mansion, Bai Jiazi lay on the Taishi's chair and did not move, the two of them were friends and did not formalize etiquette. Bi Ma Wen Sun Qian grabbed Bai Jiazi: "Jiazi Jiazi, today I inspected the imperial horse, and the black horse I cultivated can fly for 100,000 days in a quarter of an hour." Walk with me on a yo-yo?!"
The chief manager patted his arm when he heard this: "You just brag! I don't know the physical strength of the Pegasus, even the 'Red Rabbit' with the best physical strength, and he can't run for 100,000 days in a quarter of an hour." ”
When Sun Qian heard this, he became energetic, pointed to his chest and said: "What is the red rabbit? This black horse of mine is the mount of Genghis Khan, the great Khan of Mongolia in the mortal world, and he is a high-class bloodline in the Western Regions that has been selected by thousands of people, and after more than 200 years of careful cultivation, the forage he eats is better than what you eat!"
Bai Jiazi punched him in the chest, "Your uncle." ”
Bai Jiazi's mind flashed, if he could compete with Guan Gong and defeat Chitu, he would definitely improve his prestige and shut up those immortals who looked down on him.
Even if he loses, at most Emperor Guan will laugh a few words, there is no loss, anyway, he is notoriously cheeky.
"Monkey head, since you said that you can run for 100,000 days in a quarter of an hour, do you dare to follow me to find Emperor Guan to race horses?" Bai Jiazi has always been unconvinced. In this heavenly court, there are only two people who sincerely admire, one is his own master Taishang Laojun, he was not the generalissimo of 100,000 soldiers and horses of Chu in the Spring and Autumn Period, that is what he boasted about, he was just a granary official of Chu in the late Warring States period, and Li Si, the prime minister of Great Qin in the undeveloped period, was a colleague, and later because of the righteousness and squandering wealth, he saved a lot of refugees who fled and did a lot of good deeds.
Another one he admired was Emperor Guan and Guan Yu. Emperor Guan is the embodiment of justice and a role model in Bai Jiazi's heart.
Guan Yunchang was a model of loyalty and righteousness in the mortal world, and was worshiped as Emperor Guan by the mortal world after his death. Because of the prosperity of incense, the Jade Emperor promoted him to be the "Commander of the Tianhe Water Army", in charge of 100,000 heavenly court sailors, known as Emperor Guan's immortals.
After taking charge of the Tianhe Water Master, he put down several demonic rebellions and defended the peace of the heavenly court. Therefore, although his immortal age is longer than that of Emperor Guan, he is very in awe of Emperor Guan in his heart.
said that he was racing with Emperor Guan, and Sun Qian urinated: "Follow...... Forget about horse racing with Emperor Guan, I was stunned when I saw him. Last time, because the war horses were fed less forage, Emperor Guan joined me in front of the Jade Emperor and said that he would depose me and return to the Water Curtain Cave to be the Monkey King. Fortunately, my master Sun Dasheng interceded and let me go. ”
Bai Jiazi deliberately teased him: "If you don't go, will you? If you don't go, Lao Tzu will tell Guan Erye, saying that when you meet people, you will say that his beloved horse Chitu is your subordinate......
Sun Qian hurriedly stopped: "Don't don't, don't spread rumors behind your back, can't I go? I'll go, but I don't dare to race with him, you race with him." Bai Jiazi just wanted to tease him.
The two of them took to the Tianma platform where the horses were fed.
Tianma Tai can't be seen at a glance, all kinds of Tianma have everything, Tianma has spirituality, and when he saw Bima Wen coming, he quickly raised his head and saluted the chief, motionless, waiting for the leader to review.
Bai Jiazi is a horse idiot, and he usually has to slip when he sees a good horse. I saw the little guard holding the black horse that was blown into the sky by Sun Qian. It's really shiny and unusual.
He patted the horse's back and said, "Wu Hu, Master Sun said that you can defeat Chitu, Lao Tzu will lead you to a horse race with Emperor Guan today to see if you can defeat Chitu." With that, he rode on the black horse, patted the horse's buttocks, and went straight to the Tianhe.
Sun Qian saw Bai Jiazi disappear into the stars in an instant, and knew that his black horse would definitely convince Bai Jiazi. Then Tengyun drove the fog and chased away to the Tianhe.
Bai Jiazi had never ridden such a high-powered war horse, and his blood was suddenly boiling, and he was overjoyed. In less than a quarter of an hour, he arrived at the "Water Division Governor's Mansion" in Tianhe.
He took the black horse and boasted, "It seems that Sun Qian's monkey didn't lie to me. It's really a quarter of an hour and a hundred thousand miles. ”
Arrived at the Governor's Mansion, the Governor's Mansion is the residence of Emperor Guan, located on the bank of the Tianhe River outside the Nantian Gate, majestic and magnificent, the guards guarding the door are murderous and majestic, the armor is shining, the scale of the mansion is a hundred times larger than his Governor's Mansion, and the immortals who come to visit are endless, and the traffic is bustling. It can be seen that he has an inferiority complex in his heart.
In his heart, he was envious of meeting Emperor Guan's deputy general Zhou Cang, and Zhou Cang laughed heartily: "How did Chief Bai think of coming to our Tianhe to have a stroll?" Bai Jiazi said: "General Zhou, I haven't seen Emperor Guan for many days, and I passed by today to inspect the health, and I came to visit Emperor Guan." Zhou Cang said to the guards, "Go and report to the governor." With that, he turned around and strode away to train the troops.
After a while, the guard came back and said, "Your Excellency, the governor said that the military affairs are busy, and it is inconvenient to see you, so you should come back another day." ”
Of course, Bai Jiazi knew the temperament of the arrogant Emperor Guan, and he didn't enter the stream in the end. But he knew that Emperor Guan's biggest weakness was that he was not convinced, so he said arrogantly: "Then you report again, saying that you brought a black rabbit horse and can outrun his red rabbit! The attendant laughed when he heard this: "Manager Bai won't be joking." ”
At this time, Sun Qian had already arrived, and when he learned that Bai Jiazi had eaten the closed door, he dragged him: "Why don't we go back, Emperor Guan will not be idle today." ”
At this time, a thunderous laughter came, and I saw the majestic Emperor Guan holding the Qinglong Yanyue Knife in his hand, falling from the sky: "Could it be that the old man heard it wrong just now?
Bai Jiazi and Sun Qian hurriedly gave Emperor Guan a look, and Bai Jiazi smiled: "Emperor Guan, I'm here to race with you today." Guan Yunchang looked excited: "Okay, the old man likes horse racing! You know, the dragon king's son Xiao Bailong was not convinced, and he raced with the old man's red rabbit horse, and as a result, he became a defeated soldier and lost face! It's up to you two! Hahahaha!"
Emperor Guan suddenly turned his smile into anger and said majestically: "You set the rules." The old man is always with you. ”
Bai Jiazi took the lead: "General Guan, let's start from the Governor's Mansion, run around the Tianhe River, and return from the hated sky, the whole journey is 2.3 million days." Whoever returns to the Governor's Mansion first wins. ”
Guan Gong nodded with satisfaction.
Emperor Guan looked at Sun Qian: "Monkey, this horse was cultivated by you, if you can defeat the old man, the old man will promote you as the head of the Tianhe War Horse in front of the Jade Emperor, which is a grade higher than that Ma Wen." ”
Sun Qian suddenly got an unexpected joy, and hurriedly bowed his head and bowed: "Thank you Emperor Guan for your appreciation!"
"But ......" Guan Gong frowned and said proudly: "Don't have this kind of dream." What kind of thing is the black horse, dare to compete with the old man's red rabbit horse. If my red rabbit wins, the two of you will give the old man three rings in front of the immortals in the early court! If your black horse wins, the old man will give you ten elixirs for Baijiazi to prolong your life for 25,000 years. Exchange for a monkey's black horse. Baoju monkey as the head of the sailor's war horse.
Bai Jiazi was overjoyed when he heard this, although the immortals can enjoy the same life of heaven and earth, but in addition to the Jade Emperor, Taishang Laojun and other immortal ancestors who opened the world, other immortals who later became immortals must practice regularly and take the elixir. Otherwise, they will return to the mortal world to cultivate. Emperor Guan is the Jade Emperor's favorite general, of course, he is often rewarded, he is just a general manager of health, of course, he can't compare to Emperor Guan, and the elixir is still very nervous. If you win ten elixirs, wouldn't you have to worry about the elixir for 25,000 years.
Wait, Bai Jiazi's mind turned, since it was a competition, of course, he had to let the immortals watch the game, so as to improve his status in Heavenly Court. If he defeats Emperor Guan in a horse race in front of all the immortals, it will definitely impress the immortals who look down on him!
Bai Jiazi said to Emperor Guan: "Since Emperor Guan has received the battle book below, why don't you invite all the immortals to watch the battle!"
Emperor Guan was an arrogant figure, and when he heard this, he danced the Qinglong Yanyue Knife in his hand with great energy, stroked his beard and laughed: "Okay, hurry! Hurry! The old man personally sent someone to invite the immortals to watch the battle." Three days later, gather in front of the Governor's Mansion!"
