Chapter 15 Jade Dragon Chang'e returns to the West Sea, and there are many interesting anecdotes about the cycle of life and death

In the first section, Chang'e was promoted to assistant

It is said that after the Heavenly Court Oiran Chang'e and Marshal Yulong got married, they chose to travel on a honeymoon, and the husband and wife asked for leave from the Queen Mother in both directions, and took advantage of the honeymoon to go back to the West Sea to visit Yulong's parents and Yulong's subordinates when they were in charge of Dongting Lake.

The leave system for Heavenly Court officials is very strict, and it must be approved step by step according to the management authority. Similar to the permission of the modern army to grant leave. The temporary departure of a platoon-level officer is approved by the direct commander (company commander or battalion or regiment commander) within a few hours; If the time of absence exceeds 1 day or the vacation time is more than 10 days (at most 30 days at a time) days, it shall be examined and approved by the regimental-level unit (that is, the organ unit above the company and battalion level). Officers at the level of company, battalion, regiment, brigade, division, army, metropolitan command (large military region), and marshal have the right to go out and take leave, and so on. Yulong has been promoted to the Marshal of the Heavenly Court's Naval Division, and his request for leave must be approved by the Queen Mother, the "Standing Committee of the Ruling Committee" of the Heavenly Court's chief priest. Chang'e was originally a special dancer of the "Heavenly Army Song and Dance Troupe" and the dean of the "Flying Eagle Dance Academy" of the Heavenly Court, and her civilian military rank also reached the level of one star general (one two, three, four and five stars for the general of the Heavenly Court). Therefore. Chang'e's outings and vacations are naturally within the approval authority of the Queen Mother.

At 10 o'clock in the morning on the third day of the wedding ceremony of Yulong and Chang'e, the marshal of the Heavenly Court - Yulong; Chang'e, the super-dancer of the "Heavenly Army Song and Dance Troupe" and the dean of the "Flying Eagle Dance Academy" of the Heavenly Court, the newlywed Tianshen couple, came to the office of the Queen Mother of the Heavenly Court Command Office Building at the same time to ask for leave to go out for their honeymoon.

"When, when, when" after a gentle triple knock on the door.

"Report!" Outside the door of the Queen Mother's office, there was a report of "mixed doubles" and a unique report of the god of war.

"Please come in!" The Queen Mother's pure mezzo-soprano came out of the office.

Marshal of the Heavenly Court Water Division, Yulong pushed the door and entered the Queen Mother's office first. Chang'e, a special dancer of the "Heavenly Army Song and Dance Troupe" and the dean of the "Flying Eagle Dance Academy" of the Heavenly Court, followed behind. The office door closes automatically!

Marshal of the Heavenly Court Sailor - Jade Dragon; Chang'e, a special dancer of the "Heavenly Army Song and Dance Troupe" and the dean of the "Flying Eagle Dance Academy" of the Heavenly Court. The newlywed god couple stood side by side on the left and right, standing upright and raising their hands (military) to the Queen Mother.

"Please take a seat"! The Queen Mother was already standing at her desk, and after receiving the salute (the raising of the hand of the military god) from the two Celestial Officers, she continued with a smile: "You two have come to ask for leave from the Secret Moon, and I already know this. You two sit down first, and I have another matter to hand over to Chang'e by the way! ”

"Yes!" Yulong and Chang'e replied in unison, and after the ceremony, they hurriedly sat down on the sofas on the left and right sides of the Queen Mother's office!

Jade Dragon and Chang'e are the "gods of the two armies" of the Heavenly Court, and their subordinates are not allowed to sit at the "Commander" desk. An oversized desk in the Queen Mother's office facing the door. There are red, green and yellow telephones on the table. The red phone is a confidential special telephone number for communicating with the Jade Emperor and other "members of the Standing Committee of the Commandery"; The green phone is a confidential special phone number for communication with various ministries (offices) of the Heavenly Court; The yellow phone is a dedicated phone number for communicating with other Buddha realms and gods in the heavenly court. There are two sets of sofas on either side of the office: a bench sofa on the left and a monothean sofa on the right. Each side of the sofa can seat 12 gods. If Yulong and Chang'e were ordinary gods and goddesses, they could sit side by side and hand in hand on the couch. The reality is that Yulong and Chang'e are both gods of the Heavenly Court Army (Official), and they are also at the level of generals and marshals, and they are both "commanders" in a certain field. They have a dual identity in front of the Queen Mother, they are not only husband and wife, but also subordinates! The Queen Mother talked to them about work. The "Standing Committee of the Commander" Queen Mother gave them a marriage report to approve the marriage report, which belonged to the instructions given by the superior to the subordinate! Therefore, the Marshal of the Heavenly Court Sailor - Jade Dragon; Chang'e, the special dancer of the "Heavenly Army Song and Dance Troupe" and the dean of the "Flying Eagle Dance Academy" in the Heavenly Court, heard that the Queen Mother had something to do. quickly separated the seats and sat on the sofas on both sides,

"Jade Dragon, Chang'e. I have just signed and 'agreed' for you to take 30 days of leave. The "Report on the Leave of the Heavenly Court Military (Divine) Officials" has been handed over to Minister Meng Zhaozhi of the Heavenly Court's 'Divine Officials' Department. After you go down, you can first find Minister Meng Zhaozhi to find out the auspicious rules of the Heavenly God's vacation before you can leave the Heavenly Court! The Queen Mother said solemnly and kindly.

"Yes!" Yulong and Chang'e replied in unison!

"Yulong, you are on vacation this time, first, to say hello to your parents on my behalf; the second is to hand over the work of Dongting Lake to the new successor; The third is to go back to Tianzigang to see! Chang'e has other jobs, you go back to the West Sea and wait for her first! The Queen Mother still said solemnly and kindly.

"Yes!" Jade Dragon replied loudly!

"Dean Chang'e." The Queen Mother turned to Chang'e in a solemn and kind voice.

"Here!" Chang'e replied loudly in standard military language!

"Yesterday, I spoke with the Jade Emperor and several 'Commanders and Standing Committee members' in the Heavenly Court, and I have to make adjustments to your work recently. You no longer serve as the dean of the Heavenly Court's "Flying Eagle Dance Academy". You go to the 'Office of the Standing Committee of the Heavenly Court Commander as Deputy Director', and at the same time work part-time as my 'special assistant'!" Retain military status and transfer (promotion) on time. Adjust your work this way, do you have any ideas! The Queen Mother said solemnly and kindly.

"Adjust the work, I obey the arrangement of the mother (organization)! I'm just worried that I won't be able to do the task that my mother has given me. Please give more specific guidance and teachings in the future! Chang'e said softly.

"Chang'e has an important job to do on her honeymoon this time. It is to prepare for the next 'Elite on Buddhist Sutras' conference between the Buddha Realm and the Heavenly Court! The Queen Mother said solemnly and kindly.

"Yes! Niangniang, is the next 'Elite Buddhist Sutra' Conference of the Buddha Realm and Heavenly Court confirmed to be held in Xihai? Chang'e asked in her sweet mezzo-soprano.

"Yes! After I made a phone call with the Buddha yesterday, the Buddha decided to send Guanyin Bodhisattva to the West Sea in advance to prepare for the meeting! In this way, you will separate from the jade dragon and descend to earth. The jade dragon first went back to the West Sea to see his parents, and waited for you and Guanyin Bodhisattva at the West Sea Dragon Palace. Chang'e, you go to Lingshan first. After seeing the Buddha, he will go to the West Sea Dragon Palace with Guanyin Bodhisattva to complete the main content of the conference preparations. Then go to Dongting Lake and Tianzigang with Yulong! The Queen Mother still said solemnly and kindly.

"Yes!" Chang'e replied loudly in standard military language!

"You two go down to the mortal realm. I don't have to worry about the mana of the jade dragon! Chang'e's mana still reassures me. At the wedding ceremony a few days ago, although there were many 'Ruling Standing Committee' and 'Dharma Grandmothers' who gave you mana, the rules of the Heavenly Court's leave system were very strict. When the Heavenly Court Priest is on leave, he must first 'unload' the main mana. When you encounter danger, you can only use 30% of your mana, and your god will change twice! The third transformation must return to Heaven! Chang'e, I'll send you three more white hairs mixed with your black hair. In case of danger, you use my gray hair first, and then your own two 'divine transformations'! After the Queen Mother finished speaking, she implanted the three white hairs that she had prepared long ago into Chang'e's black hair.

"Xie Lu, Xie Niangniang!" Chang'e's face flushed with excitement. Say it gently.

"That's it! Chang'e is my special assistant this time, and she has full authority to handle everything on my behalf! If you don't understand something, feel free to contact me! After you arrive in the Mortal Realm, you must pay attention to quietly collecting the actions of the Heavenly Court Police, the King Lingguan, and other Heavenly Court 'Commanders' in the Mortal Realm—that is, their merits and demerits! Don't collect deliberately, just accumulate from the conversations of the people you come into contact with (immortals, gods)! Don't make premature conclusions about them based on one god or one word, and don't make premature conclusions about one immortal. This is the most basic art and skill to be a 'Ruler of Governors' in the future! From now on, you have to learn and understand how to 'manage the priests.'" I summed up the experience of the Heavenly Court Commander over the years, and the deepest thing I realized was that once the goddess had mastered the same knowledge as the genius male god. The goddess's 'concentration' is many times stronger than that of the male god! And the goddess with super 'concentration', when she is in charge of a certain job. Her political achievements are many times stronger than that of a male god with the same IQ! So, from now on, you have to update your knowledge structure a lot. You're still young, and you're quick to accept new things! Nowadays, it is an era of rapid development of electronic, informatization, and optoelectronic intelligence. You must be at the forefront of these cutting-edge high-tech, and it is enough to have knowledge of this area. I would like to emphasize here that you only need to understand this kind of high-tech and cutting-edge science and technology. Don't put too much effort into mastering it. Mastery, which is the business of experts and scholars. My request to you is to replace me as a 'steward' in the future, not to engage in invention! 'Governing officials and gods' is very knowledgeable and requires high attainments! This art of management, it is more important than any kind of technology. Managing the Heavenly Court Priests well, especially the Heavenly Court's 'Commanding Priests', is a major matter related to the development of the entire Heavenly Court. Choose a good or bad Commander Priest, it will affect the development of the entire Heavenly Court or the process of regression! Whether the people of the world are blessed or cursed depends on the words of our officials in charge of the heavenly court. It can also be said to be a thought difference! Therefore, we should make up our minds to the priests, and remember not to be rash; Don't judge what is good or what is good by a word or a thing from man (God) alone; Don't be fooled by small favors. It is necessary to look at the general direction, look at the mainstream, and accumulate more of their strengths and advantages. Look at the advantages of man (God) with addition, and look at the shortcomings of man (God) with subtraction! Regardless of intimacy, don't have selfish thoughts in recommending! I'll tell you this today, and when you come back from vacation and listen to your report, I'll arrange a time to communicate with you alone about the experience of the 'Commander Divine Officer' in charge of the Heavenly Court!" Chang'e, Yulong, you two can go to Minister Meng Zhaozhi to find out the specific rules for the vacation, and then you can go your separate ways! Report back to me first! Have a great trip! Be sure to return on time, safely, and with all your heart! The Queen Mother said with a smile!

Yulong and Chang'e both saluted the Queen Mother at the same time, and then withdrew from the Queen Mother's large and powerful office.

Marshal of the Heavenly Court Sailor - Jade Dragon; Chang'e, the 'deputy director of the General Office of the Standing Committee of the Heavenly Court' and the 'special assistant' of the Queen Mother, left the office of the Queen Mother, the "Standing Committee of the Commanding Officer" in charge of the Heavenly Court, and hurriedly came to the office of Minister Meng Zhaozhi of the Heavenly Court's 'Divine Officials' Department. Minister Meng Zhaozhi of the Heavenly Court's 'Divine Officials Department' gave each of the two gods of Yulong and Chang'e a 'Vacation Notice'! The main contents are excerpted as follows:

"Instructions for Tenjin (Officer) Husband and Wife on Vacation"

1. It is strictly forbidden to go down to earth beyond mana. Violators will be severely punished for 'unloading' one percent of mana.

2. When a mortal couple has "that kind of feeling behavior", it is not allowed to keep the indecent video seen by the third party!

3. It is strictly forbidden to harm without reason.

Fourth, don't leak the heavenly machine!

Fifth, you must return to the team on time!

、、、、、、

Marshal of the Heavenly Court Sailor - Jade Dragon; 'Deputy Director of the General Office of the Standing Committee of the Heavenly Court' and 'Special Assistant' of the Queen Mother'-Chang'e, after leaving the Office of Minister Meng Zhaozhi of the Heavenly Court's 'Divine Officials Department'. The jade dragon returned to the West Sea Dragon Palace in an instant!

Chang'e stepped on auspicious clouds. Spirited, sprinkled and heroically drifted towards Tianzhu Ling Mountain.

Chang'e is in a very good mood today! The Queen Mother adjusted her work. And he taught himself a lot of experience in charge of the Heavenly Court Priest. The Queen Mother is so partial to herself, what is this for? The Queen Mother is deliberately cultivating herself. She wants to train herself to be her successor! I can see Avalokiteshvara again this time. Thinking about it, Chang'e came to Tianzhu Ling Mountain with a very cool mood. Chang'e pressed the auspicious cloud, and just landed outside the door of the Leiyin Treasure Temple in Tianzhu Lingshan, a very familiar voice came from her ears.

"Welcome! Welcome! Welcome (Chang'e) 'leaders' to Lingshan to guide the work! "Guanyin Bodhisattva waited early outside the gate of the Leiyin Treasure Temple to greet Chang'e, the 'deputy director of the General Office of the Standing Committee of the Heavenly Court' and the 'special assistant' of the Queen Mother.

"Hello, Bodhisattva! Hello! I finally saw you again today! Your shrewd, kind, beautiful and beautiful face really makes me think about it day and night! Chang'e said with a smile!

"Duplicity! What you think about day and night is Marshal Yulong, your lover's brother, and you have already forgotten all about me, the 'matchmaker' friend! Guanyin Bodhisattva said with a smile!

"Look at what you say. Am I the god of heavy color and light friends? Bodhisattva, you can personally attend my wedding ceremony with Jade Dragon and cheer me on. I can't thank you enough! Also, the congratulatory couplet you instructed Goku to represent their master and apprentice for my wedding ceremony with Jade Dragon really added infinite charm to our wedding ceremony! Chang'e said with a smile!

"It's really unpredictable, Wukong's ability to learn Wen Jingwu has advanced by leaps and bounds to an unpredictable realm! Congratulations, 'Messenger of the Beauty God'! You are now a heavenly official at the level of a 'prime minister'. Should I call you 'Director Chang' or 'Assistant Chang'?" These two positions are divine positions that 'ordinary gods' can't hold! Guanyin Bodhisattva said with a smile!

"Bodhisattva, don't be ashamed to kill your own gods! in front of you. God will always be a 'student'! You will always be my 120,000-valued mentor. You better call me 'Envoy of the Beauty God', this title you gave me. I especially like it! Don't call me a 'leader' again! Chang'e said with a smile!

"Good! In the future, I will call you 'Director Chang', and in private I will still call you 'Envoy of the Beauty God'. It's also true that every time we meet, it's a special period when the mother or the Buddha arranges special tasks. Both of us are special envoys! That's how we got together! By the way, 'Envoy of the God of Beauty', where did you hide the groom's official Yulong? Why didn't he come with you? Guanyin Bodhisattva asked with a smile!

"Niangniang (Queen Mother) arranged for Yulong to return to the West Sea first! And asked Yulong to wait for us in Xihai to prepare for the next 'Elite on Buddhist Sutras' conference between the Buddha Realm and the Heavenly Court! Chang'e said with a smile!

"'Envoy of the God of Beauty', the Buddha has been waiting in the office for a long time, let's go to receive the decree first! Let's go back and have a good exchange! ”

"Good!"

Guanyin Bodhisattva and Chang'e held hands, both smiled and entered the Leiyin Treasure Temple, and came to the office of the Buddha.

"Little God Chang'e greets the Buddha!" Chang'e stretched out her right hand, protected her chest with her left hand, and bent down to perform Buddha (teaching) salutes to the Buddha!

"Excuse me! Please sit down with Chang'e to discuss matters! The Buddha's loving voice came from the table high above.

"Thank you, Buddha!" After the Bodhisattva and Chang'e answered in unison, they quickly found the front seats on the left and right sides.

"Chang'e, Niangniang (Queen Mother) sent you down to earth this time, you wear many hats, this is Niangniang's weight to you! You have to take advantage of the opportunity for you to be refined! "The Buddha said with kindness and a smile.

"The little god obeys the Buddha's teachings! Today, the little god can listen to the Buddha's guidance on the Dharma, which is really a blessing for three lives! I also hope that the Buddha will be as caring for the little gods as he is to your descendant disciples and bodhisattvas, and will teach and manage them strictly. "Chang'e is still a sweet mezzo-soprano.

"You are the 'One God' in the 'Three Realms' of Heaven and Heaven in the shortest time to become a Buddha! Now he works in the office of the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother! This is the glory shared by the 'Three Realms'! Although you have been in the Buddha realm for the shortest time, your Buddhahood, divine fate and marriage relationship are many times better than ordinary people! "The Buddha said with kindness and a smile.

"My Buddha's fate, my divine affinity, and my marriage. It's all fate. It was also expected by the Buddha! I now perceive Niangniang and the Buddha. are shaping me according to the 'destiny'! I used to be a cheerful, simple-minded person (God). Nowadays, my temperament has changed a lot. Now I'm a diligent thinker. I always have to think ahead and backward when I do things, I always feel that the knowledge I have learned is too poor, and I always worry that I can't do it well. Buddha, do you say that I am progressing or regressing? "Chang'e is still a sweet mezzo-soprano.

"This is progress! You have been promoted from an ordinary woman in the mortal realm to a 'leap' degree. You're now in a job you've never heard of, you've never experienced, and you've never touched. You can perceive and think, and be able to implement it in a down-to-earth manner. This is the best state of humble learning and self-improvement in practice! One of the things that the Queen Mother appreciates most about you is that you are more diligent in thinking than other goddesses. Be good at summarizing, skillfully learn from the experience and lessons of others, develop strengths and avoid weaknesses, and be brave in innovation! Also, you are kind-hearted, simple, fair and upright, not vain, not seeking fame and fortune, and not greedy for money. This is a necessary condition to be the official in charge of the 'Heavenly Court Divine Officer'! You're worried about not being able to do a good job, it's because of your inexperience! The Bodhisattva has a lot of experience. Experienced and knowledgeable. Know one's business! You'll have to ask her for advice in the future! "The Buddha said with kindness and a smile.

"Thank you Buddha for your advice! In the future, the minor gods will consult Guanyin Bodhisattva more in practice. After Chang'e finished speaking, she looked sideways at Guanyin Bodhisattva and said, "Bodhisattva, the Buddha just now has a decree to give you a guide to me. From now on, don't treat me like an outer god! "Chang'e is still a sweet mezzo-soprano.

"'Envoy of the God of Beauty', you are now the special assistant of the Queen Mother! The Queen Mother personally trained (trained) you, and your future deeds will greatly surpass me! In the future, we will learn more from the Buddha and the Queen Mother and other leaders of the older generation. Let's not be modest and cautious, just trust each other, understand each other, and learn from each other! Avalokiteshvara said with a smile on his face.

"The triennial 'Elite on Buddhist Sutras' conference held by the Buddhist realm and the heavenly court will be held in August this year at the Dragon Palace in Xihai (Bohai), China. The Bodhisattva has many experiences in organizing such meetings, and is familiar with the road, experienced, and easy to get into! This is the first time Chang'e has participated in the preparation of such a meeting, so you should listen to the Bodhisattva's advice! The Buddha smiled and said to his disciple Guanyin Bodhisattva and the Queen Mother's 'special assistant', Chang'e.

"Yes! Disciple understands! "Avalokiteshvara said!

"Good! The little god obeys the teachings of the Buddha! "Chang'e is still a sweet mezzo-soprano.

"Since the first 'Moon Appreciation Sutra' conference, the Bodhisattva has participated in and organized the X session of the 'Elite Sutra' conference. This year's 'Elite on Buddhist Sutras' conference held in Xihai, China, the Buddhist world is still organized by you! The Queen Mother and I have spoken through the words, and this year the Heavenly Court will send Chang'e to participate in the preparations for this conference! Chang'e's current public position is 'Deputy Director of the Office of the Heavenly Court Commander', and her part-time position is the "special assistant" of the Queen Mother! The two of you should work together well and strive to make this 'Elite on Buddhist Sutras' conference better than the previous ones! "The Buddha said with a 'solemn face'!

"Buddha, what is the theme of this year's 'Elite on Buddhist Sutras' conference?" Chang'e still made a sweet mezzo-soprano.

"The theme of this year's 'Elite on Buddhist Sutras' conference is: Planning for Fertility and Protecting the Environment!" The Buddha said with a 'solemn face'!

"Buddha, you once said that my marriage is also predestined! This time, I went down to earth for my honeymoon vacation, and I became a mortal from a god, and the time was legally within 30 days! During the period when Jade Dragon and I were transformed into mortals, could we live as a husband and wife like mortals? "Chang'e is still a sweet mezzo-soprano.

"Whether it's Buddha's fate, or divine fate, or marriage, Buddhism pays attention to 'casual fate'! Change with fate, be born with fate, and transcend with fate. Your husband Yulong is a practitioner of the perfect combination of 'variables' and 'fixed numbers'! The Jade Dragon has experienced many cycles of life and death! These bodhisattvas know best! When you and the Bodhisattva are preparing for the 'Elite Sutra on Buddhist Sutras' meeting between the Buddha Realm and the Heavenly Court, you have time to ask her for advice! "The Buddha said with kindness and a smile.

"Thank you Buddha for enlightening." Chang'e still made a sweet mezzo-soprano.

"'Envoy of the God of Beauty', I don't know as much about the birth of the jade dragon as the Buddha. The Buddha is happy today, so you can tell your disciples about the legendary marriage of Yulong's biological parents! Avalokiteshvara said with a smile on his face.

"Alright! Jade Dragon is now the Marshal of the Heavenly Court Sailor and Chang'e's wishful husband, I should let you know a little bit about the legendary marriage of Jade Dragon's biological parents. "The Buddha was kind and smiling, and told Guanyin Bodhisattva and Chang'e about the legendary marriage of Yulong's parents.
