Chapter 62: Three Explorations of the Heavenly Court
In the early morning, the melodious sound of birdsong echoed over the National Teacher's Mansion. In the east, the sky is faint and red, and the morning sun rises in a short time, and everything recovers. Early the next morning, Yang Zhen and Tai Bai Xing left the Bhikshu Kingdom and rode the clouds towards the heavenly court together.
The third time he came to Heavenly Court, Yang Zhen didn't need to be as sneaky as the first two times, but followed behind Tai Bai Xing and swaggered into the South Heavenly Gate. When the gods guarding the door saw that it was the person brought by Tai Bai Xing, they didn't even ask, except for saying hello to Tai Bai Xing, as if they didn't see Yang Zhen, as if Yang Zhen was a transparent person.
This also made Yang Zhen particularly unhappy.
In the past, when Yang Zhen came to Heaven, he came in a hurry and left in a hurry. Although he has always felt that the scenery of Heavenly Court is very beautiful, Yang Zhen has no idea what it is.
And this time, following the Tai Bai Xing into the Heavenly Court, Yang Zhen could finally take a good look at the scenery of the Heavenly Court, only to see that:
The golden light is rolling red, and the rui qi is spraying purple mist. The bright glow reflects the sky, and the blue fog covers the mouth. It really is: everywhere is exquisite, and layers of dragons and phoenixes are soaring. The so-called heavenly palace is like a foreign body, and there is nothing in the world. Jinque Yinluan and Purple Mansion, Qihua Yao Grass and Qiongbao. Towards the edge of the King Jade Rabbit Altar, the Holy Golden Crow flew at the bottom.
Tai Bai Xing led Yang Zhen and walked towards the Lingxiao Hall while enjoying the beautiful scenery of the Heavenly Palace. It took several hours all the way for the two to walk outside the Lingxiao Palace, and without waiting for the call, they walked directly into the Lingxiao Hall and came to the palace to meet the Jade Emperor.
Tai Bai Xing stepped forward to salute the Jade Emperor, and then said: "Qi Yu Jade Emperor, the ministers have received the holy decree, and the demon fairy has arrived." ”
The Jade Emperor has already seen Sun Wukong's rudeness, since he learned that Yang Zhen and Sun Wukong are friends, the Jade Emperor has kept an eye on it, and when he summoned Yang Zhen for the first time, he did not announce that the immortals entered the palace. Otherwise, if Yang Zhen and Sun Wukong are mixed, wouldn't the Jade Emperor have to lose face again?
And after seeing Yang Zhen, the Jade Emperor felt for the first time that he was really wise and powerful, and his wisdom was extraordinary. The cat demon and the monkey below are simply a virtue, I don't know the number of etiquette, I don't know how to salute when I see the Jade Emperor, I even look at myself directly, is there a flower on my face?
"Hmph, if you weren't still needed at this moment, how could such a person who didn't have the slightest virtue be able to go to heaven and be sealed?" The Jade Emperor looked at Yang Zhen, although he was very dissatisfied in his heart, but he didn't show any expression on his face. Having mixed in the heavenly court for most of his life, although the Jade Emperor has no talent in cultivation, as a king, the Jade Emperor is still very qualified.
"You are Yang Zhen, the national teacher of the Bhikshu Kingdom?" the Jade Emperor asked.
"Exactly!" Yang Zhen said with a slight bow.
The Jade Emperor nodded and said: "A hundred years ago, you and Sun Wukong fought against the sky together, which was already heinous, but when I read Guanyin Bodhisattva to intercede for you, I will allow you to follow Guanyin Bodhisattva to Luojia Mountain in the South China Sea to practice. However, decades later, you who were against the sky at the beginning began to benefit one party, and your merits were immeasurable. I am the king of rewards and punishments, meritorious deeds will be rewarded, and mistakes must be punished, Aiqing has reformed and has the ability to work, so naturally he should stay in Heaven to serve, I don't know what you think, Aiqing?"
"It is naturally a beautiful thing to be able to stay in Heaven and be a free immortal. Yang Zhen said with a smile.
"Earlier, I heard that Aiqing used three flavors of real fire in one hand, and in the first battle of the year, millions of heavenly weapons could not be stopped. And if there is a shortage of officials in the court fire department today, Aiqing can go to the fire department to serve first, and if he makes meritorious contributions in the future, I will also promote him as appropriate, Aiqing, you think it's good. The Jade Emperor said with a smile.
These things were originally discussed with Tai Bai Xing, and Yang Zhen naturally had no objections. It's just that Yang Zhen wondered that he had been with Tai Bai Xing all the time, so how did Tai Bai Xing inform the Jade Emperor of these things? But when he thought that after he entered the Heavenly Court, Tai Bai Xing had been taking himself to enjoy the scenery of the Heavenly Court, and there was a guess at the moment that Tai Bai Xing must have been the Jade Emperor who notified him at that time, so now the Jade Emperor can arrange everything for himself so 'reasonably'.
At this time, an immortal official came to report, saying that Huo De Xingjun asked to see him.
When the Jade Emperor heard this, he hurriedly said, "Xuan!"
As soon as Huo De Xingjun entered the Lingxiao Palace, he saw Yang Zhen who was incompatible with the Lingxiao Hall at first sight, and recalled it in his mind, and Huo De Xingjun immediately remembered Yang Zhen's origin. After all, in the past few hundred years, there have been few major battles in the Heavenly Court, and the battle of Sun Monkey's 'havoc in the Heavenly Palace' a hundred years ago was so brilliant, and it was not uncommon for Huo De Xingjun to remember Yang Zhen, who had a relationship at that time.
Moreover, Yang Zhen was also very tricky at that time, with three flavors of true fire in one hand, even Tota Li Tianwang was helpless for a while.
However, it seems that this cat demon has been taken away by Guanyin Bodhisattva back then, how can it appear in Lingxiao Hall today? However, Huo De Xingjun faintly felt that this matter must be related to him, otherwise the Jade Emperor would definitely not summon him at this time.
"Wechen meets the Jade Emperor. Huo De Xingjun saluted.
"Huo De Xingjun, I heard earlier that you still have a few officials in the Fire Ministry?" the Jade Emperor asked.
"Exactly!" said Huo De Xingjun.
Here, it seems that the Jade Emperor wants me to accept this cat demon, but this cat demon is so rebellious, if I come to the fire department to work, wouldn't it be to turn my fire department upside down? No, it seems that I need to find a reason to refuse, but what reason should I find?
Over there, Huo De Xingjun didn't think of any reason to refuse, and the Jade Emperor here began to say: "Now that I have recruited Yang Aiqing to serve in the Heavenly Court, you also know this Yang Aiqing, and the means of controlling fire are also among the top in the Three Realms today, and now that Yang Aiqing has joined the Fire Ministry, I believe that the pressure on your Fire Department is not so great." ”
"Your Majesty, this ...... This person's fire-controlling supernatural power is indeed beyond the reach of the dust, but this person's ability is by no means more than that, if he stays in the fire department, it will not be useless. Wechen suggested ......"
Before Huo De Xingjun could speak, the Jade Emperor waved his hand to stop Huo De Xingjun from continuing. Giving Huo De Xingjun a vague look, the Jade Emperor said: "How can this me not know, Yang Aiqing's ability is naturally clear. It's just that Yang Aiqing has just arrived, and if she is directly awarded a high position, it is inevitable that some people will not accept it. When Yang Aiqing made meritorious contributions in the future, I naturally had another reward. ”
The meaning of Huo De Xingjun is naturally clear to the Jade Emperor. If it weren't for the Jade Emperor's urgent need for a powerful thug at this moment, he wouldn't have let Yang Zhen go to the sky.
The Jade Emperor's words were naturally to mention the Fire De Xingjun, which meant that Yang Zhen would not stay in the Fire Department for a long time, so he would put his name on your side first, and he might leave at some point.
Huo De Xingjun heard what the Jade Emperor said, and he didn't dare not give the Jade Emperor face, so he agreed to this matter. Then everyone exchanged a few more greetings, and Huo De Xingjun took Yang Zhen back to the fire department to report.
