Chapter I
The mud god Xiren and the stone god Bayi are a pair of mud and stone friends, and they have caught up with the good time for the Jade Emperor surnamed Li to recruit talents, and they both became immortals. There are many strict rules in the Heavenly Palace, and after a long time, they can't stand it anymore, and they try their best to enjoy life and relive the fun they had in the mortal world. Recently, I learned a little wine art somewhere, and I cook wine every day.
On this day, the gods faced the emperor and scattered the dynasty, and they had not yet passed the Lingxiao Gate. Bayi grabbed Xiren, he grinned and said, "Tianren Bridge, how is it?"
Xiren didn't want to go, but seeing that Bayi was very interested, he couldn't bear to disappoint him, so he turned to Tianren Bridge without crowding. This Tianren Bridge is really a good place, a pool of clear and transparent stream water from the direction of the Heavenly Palace, the jumping water droplets hit the bare sharp stones and the grass by the stream, sending out bursts of exciting and elegant echoes, the Tianren Bridge that crosses with the stream is very small, so small that the bottom of the bridge only allows a stream to squeeze through, one end of the bridge leads to the Lingxiao Gate, the other end is connected to the foot of the green grass, the mountains and rivers depend on each other, the fog is flying around the clouds, and the fairy is entangled......
Pacing across the Tianren Bridge, taking out his belongings in the culvert by the stream and opening it, Bayi said with a grin: "You stop, the wine you cooked last time was like horse urine, and you wronged my wine." β
Xi said: "The wine I cook is horse urine, so you still drink so much." Not long ago, you cooked it so much that you couldn't even drink it yourself, and then you poured it all, and the wine was called injustice. β
Bayi blushed and muttered, "What are you serious, not enough brothers." While speaking, Bayi had already set up the stove and lit the fire.
Xi Ren smiled and took the pu fan and sent the wind into the furnace leisurely, the blue flame suddenly became prosperous, Xi Ren looked at it thoughtfully, and said to himself: "This charcoal is really good, the previous life is wood, the future life is ash, wood has the use of wood, ash has the function of ash, before and after are not related to the waste word, not in vain." β
Bayi teased: "My brother Xiren, as a god of heaven and earth, how can you envy just charcoal, but we only cultivated to become gods after the catastrophe of nine deaths." If it can't compare to charcoal, why bother in the first place. β
Xiren did not show weakness: "Brother Bayi, Hugh said that the younger brother has little knowledge, although we have made a name for ourselves and mixed in the fairy world, but don't forget, today's achievements all come from the charcoal spirit of the past, dedicated to the public, selfless dedication, our brothers can reflect from time to time, don't deteriorate." β
Bayi looked at the serious appearance of the Xi people, and couldn't help but shout: "If my Bayi deteriorates, it must be your Xi people's harm......
The two brothers were talking energetically, when suddenly there was a sound of music from the direction of the Heavenly Palace, Bayi was stunned, and then exhaled and said: "What are I doing, it turned out to be two unlucky eggs, Wang Jiang and Baihua Xingguan." β
"Do you think that the king will be wronged with the Hundred Flowers Star Official?"
"Isn't it obvious that the matter is clear?" Ba Yi sneered, "The king general and the Hundred Flowers Star Officer are affectionate and righteous, and there is no one in the Heavenly Palace except the Jade Emperor." And they are not treacherous, and they have never blushed with anyone. But they were unlucky, and they ran into the baby prince of the dragon lord of the water tribe, hey! This dragon boy is noble, with the support of the dragon lord, and the Jade Emperor's butt wants to be touched, can you offend this person?"
"Prince Shicailong said that the king general and the Hundred Flowers Star official had a private tryst with him, and the king general was annoyed and angry, blamed him for bad things, and beat him up - look at the blue and purple on his body, I'm afraid it won't be fake, right?"
"The beating is beating, and the king general also admits to beating, but the inner nature is not like this, the king will tell me in private, and I believe it. β
"And Xuanhu?"
Bayi looked around and whispered: "Listening to what General Wang said, that Longzi took advantage of the absence of people to flirt with the Hundred Flowers Star Official and was bumped into by General Wang, and beat him up in a fit of anger." The dragon boy stole the chicken and couldn't help but be annoyed and angry, and the wicked person first sued and talked nonsense in front of the Jade Emperor, relying on the good relationship to get past. β
"Then why didn't the Hundred Flowers Star Officer tell the truth?"
"You don't understand this again, you think about Baihuaxing, a fairy, even if people believe her if she is insulted and molested, how to gain a foothold in the future! Hey, it's just a white practice, this time they were poured ecstasy soup to the lower realm, and after a reincarnation, the king will be reincarnated in the royal family, so it's not bad to make an earth emperor. β
Xi Ren didn't know this detail, and asked, "What about the Hundred Flowers Star Official?"
"She, listening to the words of the star of fortune and misfortune, it seems that she will suffer great hardship but also great blessings. Bayi is familiar, crooked and well-informed, shaking his head and talking with relish: "However, listening to what the old star official said, their red line has not been broken." β
Bayi still wanted to say something, but suddenly shouted: "It's bad, the wine is mushy again." Xi Ren noticed an unpleasant smell of burning, but Bayi smirked with a wine jug, and was about to say a few words when there was a sound of footsteps in his ears.
When I looked up, I saw that it was Sang Ming, a disciple of the Xi people, who was running towards this side in a hurry, and came to him and sighed: "Master, let me find it." β
Xi Ren was stunned and wondered if something was going on: "What's the matter? β
Sang Ming wiped a handful of sweat from his sleeves, approached Xiren and whispered, "Master, come back, there are several heavenly officials waiting for you." Xiren frowned and said, "What will happen to me?" β
"It's not necessarily a happy event. Bayi got up and pushed him, urging, "Let's go, the wine is mushy anyway, I'll cook wine to accompany you another day." β
As soon as he arrived at the door, the Xi people were even more stunned, not only a few heavenly officials around the Jade Emperor were there, but also the Jade Emperor's eldest brother, the Golden Emperor God, the head of the Five Emperor Gods, and more than ten immortals of all sizes such as the Five Demon Gods were also there. Xi Ren entered the door, exhaled, and saluted respectfully: "I don't know how much you have offended when you arrived." Unexpectedly, today's group of "big" characters are very polite, they have already stood to greet each other, the Golden Emperor is the most respectful, and patted Xiren on the shoulder with a smile on his face: "Don't be polite to the mud god, we are all here to say hello." β
"Hey, don't make jokes about the little gods, where does the joy come from. "Xiren looked overwhelmed.
The Golden Emperor God said with a smile: "Since the order of heaven and earth has stabilized, the situation has been very good, and the wise rule of the Jade Emperor is also obvious to all. But recently, there has been a crooked wind spreading to the Heavenly Palace, and a very small number of gods and immortals have used the power given by the Jade Emperor to seek their own interests, which is a naked confrontation with the rules of heaven, and this kind of moth will pose a threat to the Jade Emperor's rule of heaven and earth. Therefore, the Jade Emperor attaches great importance to this matter, and entrusts the god with carte blanche to do it, and the god also has a headache, and after inviting the five gods and the heavenly officials to discuss together, he thinks that the mud god Xi people are kind and upright, and they are the most suitable candidates. β
Xi people understood: it turned out that he was going to step on the shit himself...... He shook his head again and again and said, "Wrong love, wrong love, you should consider another candidate!"
"Don't push the mud god. Several heavenly officials laughed, "The Jade Emperor has issued a jade decree on this matter, and he will deal with you today, and he will pay attention to the Heavenly Palace tomorrow." Well, the token has been issued to you. β
Huang Cancan's token was handed over, how dare the people not take it, and the black letters on the yellow background on the card were "anti-crooked heavenly officials".
In this way, the mud god Xiren accidentally became a heavenly official. Even the Greek people themselves don't understand that "anti-crookedness" is resolute and resolute, and his black face is ruthless, and how can he, an honest and kind little clay god, be valued by those great gods? He thought about it for three days but couldn't figure it out. However, in the past three days, a new problem has been discovered, that is, the little god at the same level as him has an unstable foothold, and he has no backing...... At this point, Xiren finally understood a little bit, he felt funny, and a little discouraged, and several times when he and Bayi cooked wine at Tianren Bridge, they said that they had handed over their cards. But Bayi laughed: "You, the 'anti-crooked heavenly official', haven't been crooked, you want to quit, how can you mix in the sky in the future." β
It's right for people to think about it, and then think about their size is also a god, and they have received the gold medal of the Jade Emperor, since they recommend themselves to this boat, then drive it, and drive it wherever it is.
The Greek people set their minds to rebel, but when they checked the things they were suspicious of, they couldn't find any suspicious traces......
On this day, the Greek people were idle at the door of their own house and panicked, and they ran out of a figure and knelt in front of them, and took a closer look at the turtle spirit Laba Gate Officer, this guy was snobbish and treacherous and had no dealings with the Greek people on weekdays.
"Raba, if you have something to say, don't come to this. β
Rabah stood up tremblingly, and there were tears on his face: "He's a god, you are the master for me." β
Xiren breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "If you have something, just talk about it." β
"Xiren God, do you remember the time when I asked the past gods for a few small sums of money in Lingxiao Gate a few years ago?"
Xiren's face sank and said: "It was a bribe, and it was exposed by the Eight Yi God on the spot......"
"Yes, yes, asking for a bribe," Raba's face flushed, "that bribery was my first and last time a year ago, and I regretted it after everyone's education. But I never thought that just that little thing would be a curse, and now I will ...... my life" He's stunned, and re-examined Raba, and at the same time wanted to see what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd.
Raba touched the sad place again, and continued tremblingly: "I'm afraid you don't believe it, who are you? Yes - it's your best friend Bayi ......"
Xi was shocked: "Who-you said it's Bayi?"
Rabah bowed his head and nodded. Xi Ren glanced at it, and suddenly his heart was half cold: "Raba, you say, as long as you violate the rules of heaven, I hope that people will do the right thing for heaven and will not tolerate adultery." However, if it's nonsense and nonsense, then I don't want people to be messed with. β
Rabah clearly felt what the Greek man said, but he didn't think about it anymore, he didn't dare to think about it, he hesitated and trembled, and said, "...... Early this morning, Bayi stopped me on the road and asked me how much treasure I had received over the years, the conscience of heaven and earth, I did it that time ago, how could I do these shameful things that hurt heaven and reason and humiliated the holy land of the Heavenly Palace - but no matter how I explained it, Bayi ignored it at all. I know that Bayi looks down on me at all, and he obviously wants to squeeze me out of the Heavenly Palace before he stops. β
"And then?"
β...... Bayi spread out and told me that he didn't want to make a big deal out of it, but he had evidence of my bribery. As long as half of the bribes are given to him, he will be gone. I thought, I am alone in the Heavenly Palace, and I can't afford to offend without any support, so it is better to turn big things into small things, small things into small things, and turn money into money to avoid disasters. In order to pass the Bayi, I had to make up the amount of money accumulated by bits and pieces and give it to him. Raba convulsed his body and said pitifully, "I want my Rabah to be enlightened for thousands of years, always be careful when encountering things, and admit that everything is low, although I am threatened and blackmailed by the Eight Easy Points, but I will never be sad about this, but I am afraid that if there is a first time, there will be a second time." Besides, once this matter is publicized, the fake becomes true. β
Xiren slowly turned his face. Although Raba's words were soft, they pierced his heart like a sharp needle, and his face turned blue, and there was an indescribable taste in his heart......
Sending Raba away, the more Xi people thought about it, the more angry he became, although he didn't believe that Bayi would do such an ugly thing, but Raba didn't have a reason to offend Bayi by name, and he didn't dare to do it if he was afraid of ten times...... Xiren couldn't sit still, and went straight to Bayi alone to ask for an understanding.
Unexpectedly, it was a closed door. When asked about his apprentice, Hua Wuse, Hua Wuse, said, "Master has raised some belongings today, and is ready to repair the house and go out to buy materials." β
A basin of cold water was poured on the head of the Greek man, and the balance in his heart tipped ...... The Greek people remembered that Bayi had said that he wanted to repair the house but lacked materials...... After thinking about it, there was a nameless fire in his heart, Xi was so angry that he trembled, turned around and looked around for Bayi, he wanted to ask and understand, why did he hide from himself to do such a hurtful thing?
It's a pity that I searched all the places where Bayi should go, but there was no trace of him. This angered the Xiren even more, and he thought that Bayi was deliberately avoiding him in order to calm him down and let the matter go.
Coincidentally, the next day happened to be the day of the annual recital, and all the people controlled by the Jade Emperor had to gather in the Heavenly Palace to discuss the plan.
What's even worse is that the immortals of all walks of life in the Heavenly Palace gathering have nothing to play. I played two or three books sparsely, and they were all trivial. The Jade Emperor's face is not good-looking, and the annual recital has meritorious service and has been repaid. It's all silent, that is, there is neither merit nor fault, so what have you done this year...... The Jade Emperor glanced at it and said coldly: "Yes, yes! I really chose the right choice of you talents, and no joys, sorrows, sorrows, sorrows, or troubles can reach the ears of this emperorβI don't believe that heaven and earth are too peaceful." Not long after your new official took office, the emperor gave you a gold medal, why don't you play the results to the emperor. β
The focus was on the Greeks. In an instant, all the eyes in the Heavenly Palace converged on his face. The red-faced Xiren suddenly had a thought: Why not take this opportunity to expose the matter of Raba, explain to the Jade Emperor, and make a break between Bayi and Raba, so as to save trouble.
Xiren came out and said: "Jade Emperor, since the little god served as an anti-crooked heavenly official, he has no experience in handling cases, and he has not found out the crooked scum so far, I hope that the Jade Emperor will forgive his sins." However, yesterday I encountered a right and wrong, about the Raba Gate Official and the stone god Bayi, Raba sued Bayi for extortion, and the details were still played by himself. β
"Is there such a thing?" the Jade Emperor was obviously taken aback, "Chuan, Raba Gate Official." β
"Jade Emperor, the little one is sorry for you!"
The Jade Emperor snorted: "Raba, what are you doing? β
"Jade Emperor, Raba's status is low, and he is bullied by others...... "As he spoke, he repeated the words he had spoken in front of the Greek people more eloquently.
Everyone was amazed!
Bayi was also present, he was hot-tempered, grabbed Raba, pointed his fingers and scolded: "You turtle spirit, Hugh is spewing blood." The Holy Land of the Heavenly Palace will not allow you to talk nonsense......"
Xiren saw that something was wrong, so he stepped forward in a hurry and pulled them away, and casually said something that made Bayi very sad: "Hugh has to be presumptuous in front of the Jade Emperor." β
Bayi let go of his hand and stared at the Xiren, he was not confused in his heart, Brother Xiren, Brother Xiren, why didn't he see him for a day, it seemed that there was a chasm. Did you take the wrong medicine, or did you have some kind of nervousness? In the midst of indignation, he suddenly said bitterly in his heart: "Brother Xiren, you know my personality best. If you are joking, you have to divide the occasion, this is the Holy Land of the Heavenly Palace, not the Tianren Bridge where we cook wine and brag!"
The Jade Emperor was also surprised, he had heard of the character of Bayi from time to time, and he did not dare to easily conclude that Bayi would do the shameful thing of blackmail-but he knew the face of the person but did not know the heart, the world was unpredictable, and there were anti-crooked officials to speak...... The Jade Emperor deliberately crossed the topic and asked: "Xiren, this emperor has heard that you and Bayi are like brothers and sisters, and you treat each other with all sincerity. Are you going to be a rival today?"
Xiren's face was hot, and he knew that it was Bayi's fire-breathing gaze. He didn't dare to turn around, he didn't dare to face the Eight Changesβbut as an anti-crooked heavenly official, he had already come forward for this matter, and he couldn't hold back. "The Jade Emperor, the rules of heaven are hard, and the human feelings are bloody. The two are opposites, and they must not be allowed to exist at the same time, which one should I take as an 'anti-crooked heavenly official' to ask the Jade Emperor for guidance?"
The Jade Emperor was surprisingly calm, and he said coldly: "As an anti-crooked heavenly official, of course, you should put the rules of heaven first, and you can't tolerate your children's private affairs." β
"Jade Emperor, I am not a person who is unreasonable. The words of the Greek people reveal infinite desolation. β...... It's just that I, as an 'anti-crooked heavenly official', am sorry for my conscience if I don't report it. "The Greek people told the details of the investigation of the Eight Changes.
The Jade Emperor's face was not good-looking, and he suddenly roared from suspicion to anger: "Bayi, can this matter be taken seriously?"
Bayi suddenly came back to his senses in a trance. He felt his chest suffocate and gasped, and only then did he deeply appreciate the taste of "wronged". wanted to open his mouth to defend himself, but as soon as he touched the suspicious gaze of the fox, he completely submerged his only self-esteem in an instant. At this time, Bayi felt disheartened when he was lonely, and for a short moment, it seemed that a reincarnation had passed - the glorious scenes around him were darkened...... Bayi seemed to see traps everywhere, and there was a white mist around the traps, and the traps were so unfathomable. Bayi was scared, he wanted to stay away from these traps: "Jade Emperor, I, Bayi, see myself as having a clear conscience, and I will never do anything ugly that insults the Heavenly Palace-but in today's situation, it is meaningless to defend again, it is better not to justify." But Bayi believes that after a long time, the hearts of the people will be seen, and one day the dark clouds will be lifted and the blue sky will be seen. Today's affairs are subject to the Jade Emperor's judgment. β
The Jade Emperor saw that Bayi had no objection, and thought that he had acquiesced. Thinking of Bayi's usual life, I don't want to be too embarrassed. Sideways asked the law enforcement officials how to punish according to the rules of heaven.
The law enforcement heavenly official replied: "Extortion and extortion are driven down to the heavenly palace according to the rules of heaven. β
Although Bayi felt wronged, but the matter had come to this point, what could he do? Immediately resigned from the Jade Emperor and descended from the Nantian Gate......
