Speaking of Buddhism's eastward crossing and preaching Taoism, it has come to an end, and the entanglement behind it remains to be said.

It was said that Li Jing led an army of 100,000 to be defeated in Huaguo Mountain, and he could only listen to his son's advice, and the army was pulled out and turned back to Heaven to report to the Jade Emperor.

The Jade Emperor had already received a message from Li Changgeng, saying that Li Jing had been defeated, and now that he had returned to the dynasty, the Jade Emperor wanted to kill Wukong to reverse his fate of being manipulated by Yuan Shi Tianzun, but he didn't want this Li Jing to be so useless, and he actually defeated Huaguo Mountain, losing his troops and losing his generals, which was really annoying.

Jin Xing said: "Your Majesty, you must not punish Li Jing, after all, he is Your Majesty's confidant and is loyal to Your Majesty." It's better to find another one, and it's not too late to take the demon monkey again. ”

The Jade Emperor was also quite depressed, and if he sent generals again, who else could he send? Moreover, the Jade Void Palace also sent a warning, where would he dare to go against the wind? Yuan Shi Tianzun was not a vegetarian, if he really angered him, when the time came, please come out and whip the gods, and the three Qings will discuss the re-election of the Great Heavenly Venerable of the Three Realms, then the gains outweigh the losses.

Li Changgeng arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, although that demon monkey claims to be the Monkey King, it is really hateful, but it can't afford to lose troops and offend people for him." ”

Li Changgeng was also afraid that Wukong would take his handle to coerce him, and when the Jade Emperor really made up his mind to get rid of him at all costs, maybe he would take out the handle to force Venus and the Jade Emperor to turn against him...... Li Changgeng couldn't help but be secretly annoyed, this monkey head seems to be simple-minded, but in fact he is a ghost character, whoever underestimates him will have to suffer a lot.

Therefore, it is best not to push this demon monkey too hard, lest he take out his own handle, but it is the safest way to get rid of him, but the demon monkey has great powers, and Tai Bai Xing thinks that he does not have this ability.

Li Changgeng thought to himself: "Why don't you find a few Star Monarch Dao friends, take that monkey to the sky, and then kill him?"

But when I thought that Wukong had a whip and a Tai Sui whip in his hand, I couldn't help but immediately feel deflated, the Jade Emperor has often run to the Jade Void Palace recently, and he is the Jade Emperor's henchman, and he can naturally feel some strangeness in it from between the lines of the Jade Emperor's words, so I can guess that Wukong may have something to do with Sanqing, and the two divine whips in his hand are not the best proof?

Li Changgeng only felt powerless for a while, and could only use the hands of the Jade Emperor to get rid of the demon monkey, but for the sake of today's plan, it is better to recruit peace!

The Jade Emperor pondered for a moment, remembered Yuan Shi Tianzun's methods, shuddered, and said: "You are right, after a while, you will bring up this matter, and I will give you an order, how about sealing that Bi Ma Wen a Monkey King?"

Li Changgeng breathed a sigh of relief and bowed: "Your Majesty is wise, and Weichen retires." ”

The Jade Emperor waved his hand impatiently and rubbed his somewhat aching forehead.

"You can go to Yaochi to borrow a few masters, but in this way, it will be completely torn apart from the old man of the Yuan Dynasty, and some of the gains outweigh the losses. I still slowly reap my own benefits in the game of Buddhism and Taoism, and I can't do things that are too hasty. The Jade Emperor secretly thought in his heart, and unconsciously, the jade cup in his hand was shattered into powder, and the tea was all over his hands, but he didn't realize it.

The maid on the side saw that the Jade Emperor seemed to be in a bad mood, so she didn't dare to step forward and hid far away.

From time to time, it was time to go to court.

The Jade Emperor sat on the dragon chair in the Lingxiao Treasure Palace, and an official next to him sang a promise: "There is a morning music, and there is nothing to retreat from." ”

Naturally, there is no such thing as a eunuch in Heavenly Court, the Jade Emperor's diet and daily life are all taken care of by the maids, and these promises are specific petty officials, not much stronger than Bi Ma Wen.

Suddenly, a Lingguan Youyi reported into the Lingxiao Palace, and the Lingguan said: "Your Majesty, the generalissimo Li Jing has defeated Huaguo Mountain, and he has returned to the court, waiting for His Majesty to fall." ”

The Jade Emperor said: "Announce them in." ”

You Yiling Officer answered, cast a golden light to go out, went outside the hall, and said to Li Jing: "Marshal Li, Your Majesty invites you to come in." ”

The people who came were Li Jing, Nezha, the twenty-two stars, and a group of pioneer officers, all of whom were depressed, but they were not disgraced, but they were still decent.

You Yi Lingguan secretly said in his heart: "This Li Jing was a straw bag when he was a god, and he did not hesitate to let his son commit suicide in order to save his life, and even destroyed other people's Taoist temples later. He doesn't have any ability, but he just wants to take on such a job, do you really think that he can win Sun Wukong with his mere cultivation?"

You Yiling Guan is the Jade Emperor's right-hand man, delivering orders, inviting people, giving gifts, and a lot of errands are handed over to him, just like the chief of the mortal dynasty.

Li Jing responded, and then led a defeated general into the Lingxiao Palace, bowed his head, and said: "Your Majesty, the ministers and others led the troops to the lower realm to ambush the demon monkey Sun Wukong of Huaguo Mountain, but the monkey head did not repent, but relied on mana to do the murder, but this demon monkey is really strong in martial arts, and the Taoist skills are exquisite, and I also ask Your Majesty to send elite soldiers to crusade again, in order to show the power of my heavenly court." The minister lost this battle, and he really lost the prestige of the heavenly court, and asked His Majesty to punish him. ”

The Jade Emperor said: "Forgive him for that Bi Ma Wen, how much ability do you have?

The tone seemed to be quite displeased, he was indeed murderous this time, but this Li Jing was too useless.

Nezha hurriedly said: "I beg Your Majesty to pardon the ministers and other capital crimes!" That demon monkey is really powerful, so that an iron rod snatched out of the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea is the Ruyi golden hoop rod that the emperor Dayu controlled the water and Lao Jun refined in the past. He defeated the giant spirit god first, and the next day he was called by Weichen, but he defeated Weichen again, if it wasn't for my division to feel it in time, I'm afraid Weichen would also be damaged under the stick of the demon monkey. ”

The Jade Emperor rubbed his temples, felt quite a headache, and said, "Oh! That demon monkey is so powerful, even the third prince is not an opponent. ”

Nezha and the others couldn't help but blush, they only felt that the ugliness was too big, and they must find an opportunity to get this face back in the future.

The Jade Emperor asked, "What else is there to play?"

Li Jing said: "That demon monkey called himself 'Monkey King' below, and also set up a banner on that Huaguo Mountain, because he was dissatisfied with His Majesty's official position. ”

The Jade Emperor sneered: "Monkey King, what a great majesty! Someone is coming, immediately send troops and send generals, and bring this demon monkey up to see my heavenly court's majesty." ”

Li Changgeng took a step forward, held Ruyi in his hand, bent down and arched his hand, and said, "Your Majesty, let Weichen play." ”

The Jade Emperor said: "Chang Geng Aiqing has something to say. ”

Li Changgeng said: "Your Majesty, this demon monkey has a strong mana, and there are six big demons to help, if Heavenly Court sends a large army down to take him, I'm afraid those six demon kings will not sit idly by, and when the time comes, a big battle will inevitably make my Heavenly Court lose troops and lose generals, and the gains outweigh the losses." ”

"Then Chang Geng Aiqing, do you have any ideas?" the Jade Emperor asked.

These two people have already discussed the matter in private, and at the moment they are just singing double reeds, one singing and one acting, with tacit understanding, it is really seamless, and no one can see it.

Li Changgeng said: "Your Majesty just gave him the official position of 'Monkey King' and transferred him to the heavenly court, only giving him an official position, but not giving him power and money." In this way, there is no need to mobilize the army and fatigue the generals, and it can also let the mortal demons feel His Majesty's grace. ”

The Jade Emperor pretended to be silent for a moment, and said: "Just follow Aiqing's performance, and write down the holy decree when you turn around, and you take it to Zhao'an." ”

Li Changgeng smiled: "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”

Li Jing suffered a defeat in Huaguo Mountain, but he was quite unwilling, so he said: "Your Majesty, that demon is barbaric, and he dares to call him 'Monkey King', which is really arrogant! If Your Majesty gives him this nickname, he will not be able to say that there will be another 'Super Heavenly Great Sage' and 'Open Heaven Great Sage' in the future, so he will still send troops to clear it up and make an example!"

When the Jade Emperor heard that Li Jing dared to refute it, he couldn't help but be furious, and he scolded: "Li Jing, you bird fight and lost the battle, but you still come to make noise with the widow! I will send 100,000 sailors of Tianhe with you again, and let you go to the lower realm to get the demon monkey, if you can't get it, come and see you!"

Li Jing knew that the river army was troubled by Wukong that day, and Marshal Tianpeng was also beaten to death, he was not Wukong's general at all, and the Jade Emperor clearly wanted him to make a military order, and if he couldn't win, he would come to see him......

Li Jing will definitely not do this kind of loss-making business, there is no shortage of bureaucrats in the world, and there are naturally bureaucrats in this heavenly court, Li Jing is this kind of bureaucrat. At this moment, the Jade Emperor let go of his cruel words, and Li Jing was not very sure that he could raze Huaguo Mountain, so he could only scold himself in his heart.

The Jade Emperor's words also made Li Jing's face red and white, it was really embarrassing, he really wanted to agree in anger, but if he really couldn't beat it, then his immortal career should come to an end.

"This ...... Weichen just lost a battle, but it is not suitable to lead the troops anymore, and he is about to think about it behind closed doors, think about his own mistakes, and then say that His Majesty should invite another meritocracy. Li Jing became a turtle with a shrunken head, and his face was a little ugly.

The surrounding immortal officials couldn't help but show ridicule and ridicule, this Li Jing is really a pus, he wants to rob if he has merit, but his own ability is not enough, but he makes people beat him into a water dog, and now he wants to recruit An, but he jumped out and said that he wanted to kill the demon monkey to set an example, and the words were vibrating, and the Jade Emperor asked him to set up a military order, but he retracted his head again. How can such a person achieve great things?

Nezha also shook his head when he saw it, and sighed secretly in his heart, Li Jing knew the truth of self-preservation, but he was very despised.

The so-called: a soldier bears, will be a nest of bears. This Li Jinggui is the marshal of the three armies, but he is so pustug, no wonder his subordinates are a group of pus.

The Jade Emperor snorted coldly and said: "Since no one has any objections, then this matter is like this, Chang Geng Aiqing took the holy decree from the imperial study after retiring from the dynasty, and immediately went to the lower realm to recruit the demon monkey." ”

"Wechen obeyed. Li Changgeng bowed.

The Jade Emperor stood up, shook off his robe, and said indifferently: "Retreat." ”

The civil and military officials immediately stood up and said, "Congratulations to Your Majesty." ”

The Jade Emperor brushed his sleeves away, in a bad mood.

Li Changgeng went to the imperial study, received the holy decree, walked out of the Nantianmen, and came to Huaguo Mountain.

It is said that Li Changgeng walked out of Nantianmen with the Jade Emperor document and came to Huaguo Mountain.

pressed the cloud head, and when he arrived in front of the water curtain cave, he was stopped by the little demons, all of whom knew Li Changgeng, and couldn't help grinning, as if they were going to come up and eat his meat. Li Changgeng secretly complained in his heart, but his face remained unchanged.

"The steward came over and reported to the king of your family that I have the Holy Decree of the Jade Emperor God here. Li Changgeng said.

It is absolutely impossible to let these demon kings kneel and wait for the holy decree, if you dare to say so, it is estimated that these little demons will have to clean him up.

The little demon didn't dare to be too lazy, so he let people look at Li Changgeng and report the news to Wukong from the water curtain cave.

"Great Sage! The old man of Venus came outside, carrying a corner of paperwork, saying that it was the holy decree of the Jade Emperor God. "The little demon said.

Wukong sneered at the six brothers and said, "Look, I'll just say that this Jade Emperor doesn't have a temper, right? ”

The Peng Demon King said: "Then invite Li Changgeng in and see what the Jade Emperor Lao'er wants to do." ”

That is, let the little demon envoy Li Changgeng come in, and after a while, Li Changgeng entered the Water Curtain Cave, made a gesture for Wukong, and saw the six demon kings on the side, and was secretly horrified in his heart, but he also said with the same face: "I have seen six kings." ”

Wukong learned the result of the Monkey King Dao people's battle for hegemony on the other side, and Buddhism was eventually going to be introduced to the East Soil, knowing that this was the number of days, so he decided to stand still, and the Monkey King Dao people had him to destroy it. Anyway, the two have the same origin, even if he is pressed by the Five Elements Mountain, the Qi Tian Dao people can also plan outside, if it doesn't work, go to the Su Bodhi Patriarch, but I don't believe that if you come to the ground, you can still take the Qi Tian Dao people to the Five Finger Mountain.

Wukong bared his teeth and said with a strange smile: "Chang Geng Lao'er, what are you doing when you come to find Lao Sun this time?

The six demon kings smiled and said, "I'm afraid I'm going to let you be a Bi Niu Wen this time." Haha, haha!"

Wukong was ridiculed by these six brothers, and couldn't help but feel that his face couldn't be hung up, so he said angrily: "Chang Geng Lao'er, you have caused Lao Sun's face to fall off, but this time I want you to taste Lao Sun's power." ”

Li Changgeng hurriedly said: "Great Sage, stay, spare your life! I really didn't know that the Jade Emperor would give you such a small official, it was really unexpected." ”

Wukong said: "Then what are you doing in my Huaguo Mountain this time?

Li Changgeng hurriedly said, "Don't dare, don't dare!" After a pause, "This time, Your Majesty asked the Great Sage to go up and be this 'Monkey King', and specially asked me to come to Huaguo Mountain to deliver the decree." ”

"Bring the paperwork. Wukong stretched out and took it away, snatched Li Changgeng's holy decree, and opened it to see, it was really the case.

Wukong returned the holy decree to Li Changgeng and said to the six demon kings: "Brothers, look, I really said it right, the Jade Emperor Lao'er couldn't beat me, so he came to recruit again." ”

Li Changgeng hurriedly said: "The Great Sage doesn't want to talk nonsense, there are clairvoyants and ears in the sky, who can see you and hear you." ”

The Macaque King laughed and said: "Venus Lao'er, you are rare and strange, those two people just have a little bit of ancient demonic beast blood, and with this seat here, where can they spy on it." Do you know the nickname of this seat?"

Li Changgeng hurriedly said: "This is the Great Sage Macaque King. ”
