Chapter Forty-Seven: Joining the Imperial Horse Warden

There is a mountain in Nanzhan Buzhou, called Mount Tai. The top of Mount Tai www.biquge.info the pen "Fun" Pavilion is where the South Gate of Heaven is located. All Nether beings must enter the Heavenly Court through the South Heavenly Gate.

This was told to the stone monkey by the barefoot immortal, so the stone monkey had to rush from the West Sea to the boundary of Nanzhan Buzhou.

After arriving at Nanzhan Buzhou, as long as you fly into the clouds, you can find the Nantianmen located at the top of Mount Tai at a glance.

Because although there are mountain peaks in the southern Zhanbu continent, they are just emerging in the clouds. But only Mount Tai is straight into the sky, stretching into the clouds for dozens of feet.

Not to mention that the South Heavenly Gate is shining above the clouds, and the flow is extraordinary.

The dazzling light made it difficult for the stone monkey not to find it.

Looking at Nantianmen from a distance, it was like a bright pearl, and when I came closer, I found that Nantianmen was actually not very big.

Because the main part of the South Heavenly Gate is covered by white clouds, it looks very small and exquisite.

The small square of more than 100 square meters is paved with white jade and drawn with gold wire. There is a fence erected around it, with glass as the pillar and pearl as the decoration.

Below the square is the staircase, and above the square is the gate of heaven. Go up the stairs and enter through the Gate of Heaven.

Ten Heavenly Soldiers are a team, and there are eight Heavenly Soldiers stationed on the ladder. Each heavenly soldier was dressed in silver armor and held a long ge.

In front of the Heavenly Gate, there were four Heavenly Kings standing on both sides of the guard.

The Gate of Heaven is built of strange stones, carved with the images of the gods of the four directions, majestic and solemn.

The Gate of Heaven is huge, half of it is in the white clouds, and half of it is in the square.

There is a plaque above the gate of heaven, which reads: South Gate of Heaven. There is a gossip mirror in the plaque, facing the middle of the gate of heaven.

As soon as the stone monkey came to the bottom of the stairs, he was stopped by a group of heavenly soldiers, only to see them waving and pointing at the stone monkey.

I saw a heavenly soldier shouting at the stone monkey: "Who is the demon? How dare you trespass into the South Heavenly Gate of the Heavenly Court! Don't leave quickly! Otherwise, you will be sent to the heavenly prison!"

Seeing this, the stone monkey hurriedly took out the recommendation of the barefoot immortal and handed it to the team of heavenly soldiers.

Seeing that the stone monkey had a letter of recommendation, the heavenly soldiers got out of the way.

After the stone monkey thanked the heavenly soldiers, he climbed the stairs.

When he came to the South Heavenly Gate, the stone monkey met the four heavenly kings who had a relationship.

It's also strange to say, the last time I was at the Seven Fairies, I obviously repelled the Four Heavenly Kings and Heavenly Soldiers, and let them return with a miserable defeat. But the Jade Emperor didn't seem to have troubled himself because of this matter, and sent someone to arrest him, as if this didn't happen.

This time, the costumes of the Four Heavenly Kings were different from the last time, and they looked much more formal and majestic.

The King of the Holding Kingdom is wearing white armor and holding a lute, the King of Growth is wearing blue armor and holding a sword, the King of Wide-eyed is wearing red armor and has a dragon wrapped around his hand, and the King of Duowen is wearing green armor and is lying on a silver rat in his left hand and holding a treasure flag in his right hand.

Seeing the stone monkey again, the four heavenly kings didn't dare to put on a score, who let them be the defeated soldiers of the stone monkey.

I saw that the Four Heavenly Kings hurriedly saluted the stone monkey and said, "I don't know what the stone monkey Daoist friends are doing from afar?"

The stone monkey replied: "I met a barefoot immortal in the human world, and he recommended me to enter the heavenly court as an official, so I came to Nantianmen to report." This time, there will be four heavenly kings. ”

The Four Heavenly Kings hurriedly bowed their hands and said, "Don't dare! Don't dare! Let's go through the entry procedures for the stone monkey Daoist." ”

After receiving the recommendation letter handed over by the stone monkey, the Heavenly King came to the demon mirror, that is, under the gossip mirror in the plaque, and after carefully examining it, he said to the stone monkey: "Please also ask the stone monkey Taoist friends to wait here for a while, and I will report to the Jade Emperor." The Jade Emperor may summon the Stone Monkey Daoist immediately and ask the Stone Monkey Daoist to prepare in advance to see the driver. ”

Hearing the word 'see the driver' spoken by the Heavenly King of the Holding Kingdom, the stone monkey thought of how he should greet the Jade Emperor after a while.

It shouldn't be like the usual, everyone meets and bows to each other, right? Or just bow down? It doesn't seem to be, after all, the Jade Emperor is the supreme of the Three Realms, and this etiquette feels a bit light.

Is it too tasteless to think that in ancient court dramas, courtiers have to kneel down and salute when they see the emperor?

The stone monkey does not guarantee that he will be able to kneel, even if the other party is the Jade Emperor. The concept of equality in the bones of modern people cannot be thrown away!

After thinking about it, the stone monkey still couldn't figure it out, so he asked directly to the three heavenly kings standing aside: "I met the Jade Emperor for the first time, and I don't know how to greet him?" ”

The Growth Heavenly King replied, "The Stone Monkey Daoist doesn't need to be restrained when he sees the Jade Emperor, he just needs to bow down and salute him. After all, everyone is a cultivator, so you don't need to be rude, and you don't need to be polite. ”

At this time, the Wide-eyed Heavenly King and the Duowen Heavenly King also interjected: "Stone Monkey Daoist friends don't need to be polite! ”

Hearing them say this, the stone monkey also put his mind at ease, as long as he doesn't kneel, everything else is easy to say. Anyway, it's not strange to have many people.

The stone monkey chatted with them for a while about the number of etiquette on various occasions in the heavenly court, and the three heavenly kings all answered their questions.

Seeing that everyone was slowly getting acquainted, the stone monkey couldn't help but ask, "How did the four heavenly kings deal with the Jade Emperor last time?"

Hearing this, the three heavenly kings were a little embarrassed and felt disgraced.

In the end, it was the Heavenly King who replied: "The Jade Emperor severely criticized us, saying that our four great heavenly kings of the Heavenly Court could not even defeat a demon immortal in the lower realm, and we have cultivated in vain for thousands of years. Originally, the Jade Emperor wanted to send the Twenty-Eight Constellations to the Nether Realm to arrest the Stone Monkey Daoyou, but was stopped by the Queen Mother, and then the matter ended hastily. ”

In this way, the queen mother still cares about the love of mother and daughter. It's not as heartless as in the TV series.

At this time, the Heavenly King of the Holding Kingdom came back and said to the stone monkey: "Stone monkey Daoist, please, the Jade Emperor has summoned you in the Lingxiao Treasure Palace." ”

After bidding farewell to the three heavenly kings, the stone monkey followed the Heavenly King of the Holding Kingdom into the South Heavenly Gate.

When passing by the demon mirror, the stone monkey also deliberately looked up.

I saw that I was a yellow-haired thin monkey in the demon mirror, with a sharp beak and cheeks, and a thunderous face.

The stone monkey pursed his lips with some disgust! What a demon mirror, I don't know anything about being thin and beautiful!

Fortunately, this demon mirror did not illuminate itself as a multicolored stone.

After entering the Nantian Gate, I also came to the white clouds, and the white clouds were ethereal for a while, which seemed to be real and illusory.

After dozens of steps, out of the range shrouded by white clouds, you can see the void attic, the corridor is meandering, the palace is scattered, there are cranes soaring in it, there are four seasons of flowers competing for beauty, carved railings and paintings, magnificent. It's really fairy!

Because he was in a hurry to see the driver, the king of the kingdom hurried all the way, so the stone monkey also took a few hasty glances.

After turning a corner in the corridor ahead, and passing through a garden, you will see a magnificent palace, with two teams of golden armor generals guarding the gate, and the door plaque reads 'Lingxiao Treasure Palace' four big characters.

Before the stone monkey could take a closer look, the Heavenly King of the Holding Kingdom led the stone monkey directly into the Lingxiao Treasure Hall.

I saw that in the Lingxiao Treasure Palace, the civil ministers and military generals were lined up on both sides, and the Jade Emperor sat on it.

It is supported by eight stone pillars, on which eight golden dragons are circulating. The floor tiles are arranged according to the nine palace gossip, the walls are painted with groundbreaking, and there are bright stars on the roof.

The Heavenly King of the Holding Kingdom said to the Jade Emperor: "Qi Yu Jade Emperor, the stone monkey recommended by the barefoot immortal is brought. ”

Seeing this, the stone monkey stepped forward and bowed and saluted: "Dongsheng Shenzhou Aolai Sea Area Huaguo Mountain people stone monkey, meet the Jade Emperor!"

The Jade Emperor said: "I didn't expect that although the stone monkey was not a monkey, it was also well-mannered. All the immortal families, all palaces and halls, all sides and everywhere, where are there any vacancies?

Seeing the true face of the stone monkey, Wuqu Xingjun, who was on the side, knew that this monkey was the shameless villain who attacked him at the beginning, so he secretly determined to make this monkey have no good time in the heavenly court.

Seeing that none of the other immortal officials came out to reply, Wuqu Xingjun took the initiative to stand up and replied: "Qi Yu Emperor, all palaces and halls in the Heavenly Palace, all parties and everywhere are full, only the Imperial Horse Supervisor lacks a wrestler who washes horses......"

Before Wuqu Xingjun's words were finished, Tai Bai Xing, who was standing at the top, stood up and interrupted: "Although this stone monkey is a monkey, but in the end it is a demon fairy, and it has to be recommended by the barefoot immortal himself, how can he be a wrestler and do those hard work! At the very least, he must be a steward of the main hall." It just so happens that there is one less steward of the main hall of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, so why didn't the Jade Emperor appoint the stone monkey to be a Bi Ma Wen and manage the Imperial Horse Supervisor. ”

Wu Qu Xingjun saw that it was Tai Bai Xing who came out to refute it, and it was not good to offend him, so he automatically retreated.

It is so despised to let this monkey be a proper housekeeper! It seems that he must 'take good care' of it in the future. lest it be too bored to stay in the heavenly court.

Seeing that none of the immortals had any other opinions, the Jade Emperor announced, "Appoint the stone monkey as Bi Ma Wen to manage the affairs of the Imperial Horse Supervisor. The stone monkey is guided by Mu Dexingjun on his behalf. ”

The stone monkey hurriedly bowed and saluted, "Xie Yuhuang Emperor!"

So the stone monkey withdrew from the Lingxiao Treasure Hall under the leadership of Mu Dexingjun and went to serve as a steward of the Imperial Horse Supervisor.

On the Lingxiao Treasure Palace, the stone monkey didn't say much, but he thought it was quite interesting, like acting in a court drama himself.

But in the end, he still became a Bi Ma Wen, a little horse breeder who did not enter the stream. That's it, thanks to Tai Bai Xing! Before, Wu Qu Xingjun had to be a coolie who washed horses.

It seems that this Wuqu Xingjun is really a cautious eye, and his revenge is extremely heavy. In the future, you have to beware of this guy making a bad deal. The office is full of guns and arrows!

Along the way, Mu Dexingjun did not smile, but led the way in front, looking like no one should approach.

The stone monkey couldn't, and it was difficult to say anything if there was a problem, so he had to keep up with him.

I don't know how many turns I made, passed through several palace gates, and finally arrived at the Imperial Horse Prison.

Mu Dexingjun didn't say much, and seeing that the stone monkey had been sent to the Imperial Horse Prison, he returned alone to give an account to the Jade Emperor.

After seeing Mu Dexingjun leave, the stone monkey turned around and looked at his future office.

In terms of scale, the Imperial Horse Prison can only be regarded as a small courtyard, which looks quite like a courtyard;

Along the way, the stone monkey found that the location of this imperial horse prison was too remote, and it might really be a corner that no one asked.

The vermilion lacquer on the gate of the Imperial Horse Prison has almost fallen off, and a few tiles on the eaves are still missing. There were still some weeds in front of the door, and the inside of the door felt lifeless.

The stone monkey walked in and shouted, "Is there anyone else in this Imperial Horse Prison?"

Seeing that no one responded in the Imperial Horse Prison, the stone monkey shouted a few more times. Only then did a small official come out of the opposite door, salute the stone monkey and say, "I wonder what this demon fairy is doing when he comes to the Imperial Horse Prison?"

The stone monkey replied, "I am the Jade Emperor's newly appointed Bi Ma Wen, who is responsible for managing the affairs of the Imperial Horse Supervisor. ”

Hearing the stone monkey's words, the little official immediately trotted in front of the stone monkey, bowed down and gave the stone monkey a big salute, and then said respectfully: "It turns out that the new master of the main hall has arrived! Please also ask your adult to move to the main hall and speak. ”

What kind of official is the eunuch? The stone monkey didn't know. But from the tone of his voice, it can be seen that this prisoner is one of his subordinates.

It is said that it is the main hall, but in fact, it is a hall with only two desks, and there is not even a single ornament, which looks empty.

The documents on the two desks and the four treasures of the study room were neatly placed, and the stone monkey finally breathed a sigh of relief when he looked at it, indicating that there were still people working here, and they were working seriously!

Seeing that the stone monkey was sitting on the main seat, the eunuch said: "Please rest here for a while, and I will summon the rest of the Imperial Horse Supervisor to pay a salute to the lord." ”

The stone monkey asked, "Who else is there in this Imperial Horse Supervisor?" It's never too late to call them again. ”

The eunuch replied, "My lord." In the Imperial Horse Prison, you are respected by the adults and the small people. The following are: one deputy supervisor, two bookkeepers, and four wrestlers. ”

With a total of nine people, it's a big team. Before, the stone monkey was still worried, this imperial horse supervisor wouldn't be a bald commander himself, right?

The stone monkey asked again, "What about them now?"

The supervisor replied, "Lord Hui, now they are all working in the horse farm by the Tianhe River. ”

The stone monkey asked, "Tianhebian Racecourse, how does everyone divide the labor?"

The supervisor said: "I am mainly responsible for handling the official documents issued by the heavenly court, the deputy supervisor is responsible for managing the daily affairs of the horse farm, the warden is responsible for collecting forage, and the wrestler is responsible for washing, feeding, and herding the horses. ”

When the stone monkey heard him say this, he felt as if he didn't have anything to do with himself? It seems that he is a superfluous boss.

The stone monkey asked, "Then what am I mainly responsible for?"

The supervisor immediately replied: "My lord, your job is to inspect the work of the little ones! ”

Listening to this, it is almost to the heart of the stone monkey. This sycophant kung fu is simply practiced to the full level.

The stone monkey continued to ask without revealing joy: "Then how many horses do I have in total?"

The eunuch immediately replied: "At present, there are a total of 1,000 heavenly horses in the Imperial Horse Supervisor, which are: Hua Qi Qi, Lu Qi Li......; Chitu Chaoguang,......; Chasing the wind Jedi, flying into the sky; ...... Bronze Jue Floating Clouds, Tiger Horse, Dust Purple Scales;...... Eight horses and nine escapes, thousands of miles ......"

Listening to this eunuch, it was as if he had slipped through his mouth, and he gave the names of the thousand heavenly horses one by one. The stone monkey was a little dumbfounded.

It seems that this supervisor is still a good employee with extraordinary business ability, and he should consider giving him more year-end bonuses and should also assign him a BMW.

Among the thousands of heavenly horses, the stone monkey has heard of the red rabbit, which is the mount of Lu Bu of the Three Kingdoms; chasing the wind, I don't know whose mount it is, but the chasing wind and chasing the sun arrow are still familiar; as for the other names, I feel that I have never heard of them. Of course, these are all cranky thoughts of the stone monkeys.

The stone monkey looked around the main hall again, but he still felt empty, there was nothing to see, and it was better to leave early.

The stone monkey said to the prisoner, "Then I'll go to the horse farm with you to have a look." And is this horse farm really by the Tianhe? Is there a marshal of Tianpeng in this Tianhe?"

Since his boss was going to the racecourse, the supervisor immediately led the way in front.

The eunuch replied, "The horse supervisor's horse farm is indeed by the Tianhe River. Marshal Tianpeng has it, and he is very familiar with us. Because Marshal Tianpeng often came to our horse farm with other gods to bow. ”

"Keju?", the stone monkey asked, "Are you talking about Keju?

Jian Cheng hurriedly nodded and said, "Yes! Keju is very popular in Heavenly Court now. ”

It's a pity that I only kicked twice in physical education class, and I wasn't even a pseudo-fan.

The stone monkey asked again, "What did you just say, what is the name of this lower god?"

The eunuch replied, "We all call the low-grade immortals the lower gods, and the immortals who can rank in the Lingxiao Treasure Hall are called the upper gods. This is just what we call it in private, and please don't blame it. ”

The stone monkey smiled at this and asked, "No blame! No blame! Is there still a god?"

The eunuch said: "There is no such thing as a god. Because it's not up or down, it's not too good. ”

The stone monkey asked again, "Then what kind of god are we in private?"

The eunuch laughed and said, "What kind of god are we there? We're just an immortal official with no rank." There is not even a big name, they are all commensurate with their positions. Adult, your name is Bi Ma Wen, and if you are young, I will be called Jian Cheng. ”

Well, since you've been prepared for a long time, you don't have to worry too much about it now. In this heavenly court, he is called Bi Ma Wen.

But Bi Ma Wen, Bi Ma Wen, sounds like the name of a plague, and it's a horse plague!

The racecourse is not very far from the Imperial Horse Warden, just bypass the Royal Horse Warden and walk straight for another ten minutes. At first glance, you can see the horse farm and Tianhe.

This horse farm is completely unexpected by the stone monkeys, like an endless prairie, with dense and verdant grass, and horses scattered in all directions.

This so-called Tianhe River is not as magical as the stone monkey imagined, it looks like the Grand Canal, but the river water is crystal clear, and there are not even aquatic grass carp and shrimp in the river.

At this time, the eunuch shouted loudly: "The new head of the main hall of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, Lord Bi Ma Wen, is here, and you should not come to meet you quickly. ”

The voice was loud and imposing, and the stone monkey was startled before he came to meet him quickly.

As soon as the voice came out, the stone monkey saw several people suddenly standing up in the grass in the distance.

These people hurriedly ran in the direction of the stone monkey, and after a while, they stood in front of the stone monkey.

The stone monkey counted, and even he was just nine people, and it seemed that all the members of the Imperial Horse Prison had arrived.

Under the leadership of the prisoner, everyone saluted the stone monkey together.

Then the eunuch introduced everyone to the stone monkey one by one.

After the prisoner finished his introduction, the stone monkey replied: "Since everyone is an immortal official with no grade or rank, there are not so many constraints. When I first arrived, I didn't understand anything, so I didn't give random commands. Go your own way!"

After these people left, the prisoner said to the stone monkey, "My lord, do you want to inspect the Pegasus?"

The stone monkey shook his head and said, "No need! I'll take a look when I'm fine." And when do we start working every day, when do we leave work, do we get paid, do we get paid, whatever?"

The supervisor replied: "Every day, the rooster crows and starts to work, and the third watch is the end of work." As for the salary? We don't have enough grades, so we don't, we only have benefits. ”

While listening to the prisoner's answer, the stone monkey was calculating the time in his heart.

Is this five-watch rooster crowing, it's about five or six o'clock in the morning. These three lights are on, it's about seven or eight o'clock in the evening. This day is 12 or 3 hours of work! Hey! It's hard to be an immortal. What's even more bitter is that there is no salary yet!

Hearing that there were benefits, the stone monkey couldn't help but ask curiously, "What about our welfare?"

The warden replied, "I have two days off every month, and I can hear the sermons of the gods once a month. ”

The stone monkey can only smile at this benefit, and don't complain about how it is!

Anyway, what salary, what benefits, for the stone monkey is useless.

Just pay more attention to when you have a holiday.

Seeing that the stone monkey didn't seem to care about this, the eunuch said, "Of course, although you don't have any grade or rank, you are the head of the main hall after all, so you only need to deal with the picket spirit officer every day." The rest of the time you are free to arrange as long as you don't leave the horse warden and the racecourse. ”

The stone monkey responded, "Are there any other precautions?"

After thinking for a long time, the prisoner suddenly said, "My lord, have you received the official uniform and official seal?"

The stone monkey was stunned when he said this, and Mu Dexingjun didn't seem to take him to get any work clothes and work cards.

Seeing that the stone monkey was stunned, Jian Cheng immediately said: "Please also invite the adults to play here for a while, and the small ones will go to get the official uniform and official seal for the adults." ”

After saying this, the eunuch hurried away.

This prisoner is really a good subordinate! The stone monkey decided that he must give this prisoner a big reward, and assigned him two horses, one to ride and the other to throw away.

Now that he has nothing to do, the stone monkey wants to go to the place where he used to keju and see what this heavenly football field looks like.

So the stone monkey called over to the deputy supervisor and asked him to lead the way.

Walking through the green grass is really indescribably comfortable.

The stone monkey asked the deputy superintendent, "Usually those immortals come to the horse farm to bow?"

The deputy supervisor cautiously replied: "Lord Hui, the one who usually comes to the racecourse to bow the most is Marshal Tianpeng, and then there is the clairvoyant god, the wind ear god, the four heavenly kings, and the god of the Tai Platinum Star. ”

The stone monkey asked again, "Are these people the only ones?"

The deputy supervisor hurriedly said: "Of course, there are some other gods, but they are just here to hang out, and they will not end up. ”

It seems that being a high-grade immortal is different! You can still play around during work hours. Do you go to the Jade Emperor again to make peace and change yourself to a big official?

When he came to the football field, the stone monkey found that it was just a relatively flat grass, with an area of more than 200 square meters, and a wooden frame in one corner as a goal.

Rubbing this heavenly 'football' with his hand, the stone monkey found that the workmanship was still quite exquisite, I don't know if it was hollow inside, and it was wrapped in a layer of skin that I didn't know what it was, and it was soft to the touch. The weight is equivalent to the weight of a basketball.

The stone monkey waved his hand to let the deputy who was guarding the side go down, and glanced around again, just as there was no one now.

The stone monkey played 'football' in this 'football field', but unfortunately his talent was really not very good, and he shot at a fixed point, and he kicked more than a dozen times in a row without scoring.

So the stone monkey took the 'football' and walked a lot closer to the goal, almost five steps away from the goal, and this time it was a goal with his feet.

Finally played a modern thing, the stone monkey played a lot, and no matter how close he was to the goal, as long as he scored a goal, he was happy like something.

Of course, on the court, the stone monkey didn't use any mana and supernatural powers, so he relied on his so-called foot sense to play football.
