Chapter 12: Second Recruitment
On the top of the Lingxiao Treasure Palace, the generalissimo Li Jing and the great god of the Three Altars Sea Society, Nezha, bowed their heads to ask the Jade Emperor for their guilt, and asked the Jade Emperor to allocate more soldiers to subdue demons in the lower realm.
After the Wenwu Xianqing in the hall learned the detailed process of the crusade, the government and the opposition were in an uproar for a while, and Sun Wukong's combat power was beyond the expectations of most immortals, including the Jade Emperor.
When Li Jing, the king of Tota, said that Sun Wukong called himself the Monkey King and wanted to set up another mountain, the ministers were furious and spoke out one after another, only the Jade Emperor sat firmly in the court, and even showed a smile on the corner of his mouth.
Is this monkey really a newborn calf, ignorant and fearless, or is someone behind the scenes instigating me to challenge my rule?
If it is the former, then as long as I ambush it, with the ability of a monkey, I will definitely be able to become my right-hand man in the future, helping me to sweep away those discordant voices in the Three Realms.
If it's the latter, then I'll play a game with you, so that I can take a look at what chess pieces will be in this game, and gradually reveal them in the future.
So the Jade Emperor's gaze looked at Tai Bai Xing.
"Aiqing, the demon monkey was recruited by you to heaven, and now it's making such a fuss, what do you think should be?"
The Jade Emperor asked lightly, Tai Bai Xing was already sweating profusely, if the Jade Emperor wanted to settle his account, it was hard to say whether the result would be good or bad.
If it is lighter, reprimand a few words, and punish it for a few months, it is irrelevant, if it is heavier, and it will be degraded to the mortal world for a few lifetimes, but the gains outweigh the losses, who knows if they can return to heaven in the future.
Li Taibai originally wanted to suggest that the Jade Emperor send some more powerful heavenly soldiers and generals to follow the Tota Heavenly King back to the Nether Realm to continue to subdue demons, but just as he was about to speak, he saw the Jade Emperor's expression, and then thought of the question just now, the Jade Emperor seemed to have other intentions.
So Tai Bai Xing thought about it again and said to the Jade Emperor.
"Qi Yu Jade Emperor, this demon monkey is not familiar with the world, only to have a reckless move, but looking at its ability, it is indeed extraordinary, it is a pity to stay in the heavenly court to raise horses, continue to send troops to conscript, even if the demon monkey is captured, it is still detrimental to the face of the heavenly court, it is better for the Jade Emperor to give him a name, and recall him to the heavenly court, after many years, the demon monkey grinds off the edges and corners, for the use of the heavenly court, wouldn't it be better, the Jade Emperor, you repay the grievances with virtue, twice recruit An, I think it will be good in the future. ”
It is worthy of being too platinum star, and his words are beautiful and bright, and he also grasps the intention of the Jade Emperor.
"According to what Aiqing said, if he is named the Monkey King, wouldn't he have to sit on an equal footing with me and rule the heavenly court together?"
"The Jade Emperor of Qiyu, Heavenly Court Zhao'an, only give him a name, do not give him an official position and a salary, he has no rights, and it will not affect the normal operation of Heavenly Court."
This Li Taibai can always say what I want to say but can't say for me.
"In that case, this matter is still left to you, you can go to the Nether Realm again" After speaking, the Jade Emperor left the Lingxiao Treasure Palace, leaving behind the civil and military ministers.
The Jade Emperor actually agreed to Sun Wukong's request, divided the Monkey King, and recruited peace for the second time, and then the ministers began to calm down and savor the Jade Emperor's intentions.
Familiar with the road, Tai Baixing came to Huaguo Mountain again, and wanted to call a monkey to pass it on, but he saw Sun Wukong sitting alone on the top of the mountain, as if he was sure that he would come again.
Hiding his inner doubts, Tai Bai Xing came to the front of Sun Wukong.
"See the Great Sage, the little god has come to inform the Great Sage that the Jade Emperor has personally named you the Monkey King, and specially sent me to Zhao'an, although the other gods in the heavenly court have many questions, and they don't know the great sage's supernatural powers, but the little god is overwhelmed by the public opinion, and the Jade Emperor is persuaded hard, and the Jade Emperor agrees. ”
On the one hand, he told Sun Wukong that he was recruited, and on the other hand, he also brought out his credit for helping Sun Wukong become the Monkey King.
"It's really a Lao Xianguan, Wukong has thanked him here, this affection, I should remember it in my heart"
Sun Wukong still has a good impression of Tai Bai Xing, and the other party once again helped him speak, and he must be thanked.
When Li Taibai heard Sun Wukong call him by his name, he didn't call himself a great sage, and he was happy in his heart, this friend seemed to have been handed over, many friends and many roads, not to mention a friend with ability, Tai Baixing knows this well.
Sun Wukong had already confessed that his four strong generals would dominate Huaguo Mountain, and he returned to Heaven with Tai Bai Xing again, and then the Jade Emperor personally announced that Heaven canonized Sun Wukong as the Monkey King, and built the Monkey King Mansion on the right side of the Pan Tao Garden for Sun Wukong to live, and assigned a special immortal official to serve around, which can be described as extremely beautiful for a while.
As soon as the news came out, the Three Realms were in an uproar, and since then, the name of the Monkey King has resounded throughout the Three Realms.
In the following days, Sun Wukong also behaved very bluntly, he didn't care about the power in his hands at all, he only cared about his own name, he wandered around the fairy world every day, called everyone brothers, pushed cups and changed lamps, and made a large group of fairy friends.
On the surface, Sun Wukong is uninhibited and plays around, but in fact, Sun Wukong secretly collects all the information of the twelve golden immortals by making these fairy friends.
Deeply feeling that his strength is still very weak, and in the face of the real immortal master, he is powerless to resist at all, so Sun Wukong has always been worried about the whereabouts of the four swords of Zhu Xian.
Through the information collected in these days, Sun Wukong learned that since the defeat of the gods, most of the twelve golden immortals have lived in seclusion, not easily exposed to people, and have devoted themselves to penance.
Speaking of this, Sun Wukong also inadvertently learned the inside story of a fairy world.
The Pangu sages created the world in a groundbreaking way, and the Sanqing sages enlightened the living beings in the world, and they all gained great merit.
The creatures in the world have opened their spiritual wisdom, and after education, they can all become immortals, but becoming immortals does not mean that they are immortal, ordinary earth immortals can live for 1,800 years, and then as soon as Shouyuan arrives, they will also report to the king of Hades.
The immortals live longer, the highest can have a longevity of 10,000 years, the longevity road is up, and there is no power to return to the sky, only the golden immortals and above, there is a long lifespan, almost heaven and earth.
After all, the number of golden immortals in the Three Realms is very small, and most of the immortals have the day when their longevity will end.
In the face of life and death, the performance of the immortals will not be much stronger than that of mortals, and they will be afraid of death.
Fortunately, there is a treasure in the heavenly court, called the peach orchard, the peach produced in it is magical, just eat the smallest peach, the longevity can increase for 1,800 years, as long as you feel at ease for the heavenly court, the immortals who have been prepared will be rewarded by the heavenly court every five hundred years, used to increase the longevity.
The immortals who have not been prepared and the low-level earth immortals also have the opportunity to be rewarded by the heavenly court with the elixir jade wine, although the effect is not as good as the peach, it can also help it survive the death tribulation and live for another five hundred years.
Therefore, the vast majority of immortals are subject to the management of Heavenly Court, after all, they can continue their lives, so that they have the opportunity to continue to improve their cultivation and continue to struggle forward.
Those immortals who have cultivated to the level of Golden Immortal or above have all been entrusted with important tasks by the Heavenly Court and vigorously enveloped them.
There is also a special case here, which is the 365 Road Righteous God who was canonized by the God List at the beginning. Most of these gods are souls who enter the list of gods after death, are canonized as gods, and work in the heavenly court.
Because they are souls and gods, it is very difficult to improve their cultivation in this life, and the soul has entered the god list, as long as the god list is not destroyed, they will not really die, so they have no threat of death, which has caused a phenomenon, that is, although these gods work on time in the heavenly court, they often have no self-motivation, love to mess around, and dare to be lazy in the things that the Jade Emperor explains, as long as they don't make mistakes and are not punished by the rules of heaven.
The Jade Emperor also had a headache in the face of these righteous gods.
Of course, these small tribulations are easy for the immortals to survive, but there is still a big calamity in heaven and earth, which is indeed a big stone in the hearts of the immortals.
After the three thousand worlds are created, they are not immortal, on the contrary, the world will also be destroyed and destroyed. In about 5.6 billion years, the world will be destroyed, and at that time, all living beings, including immortals, will die out with the death of the world.
If you want to survive this catastrophe, you must at least have a quasi-saint or above cultivation to have the possibility of surviving, and the top of Daluo depends on luck.
Then the saints joined hands to create the next great world, create a new heavenly court, establish a new order, and educate new beings, and those would-be saints and the top of the Great Luo who survived, under the assignment of the saints, assisted the saints in the new world to educate all things, and so on.
Therefore, if you don't become a quasi-saint or above, you will inevitably turn into ashes one day.
