In Chentangguan, after some twists and turns, the dragon slaying incident was finally successfully resolved. Nezha held the jade talisman that symbolized the identity of the god and his face was full of joy.
At this time, Taibai Jinxing turned his eyes to Yang Jian, who was always as calm as a mountain, and admired secretly in his heart.
Facing the majesty of the Heavenly Court that transcends ancient and modern times and shocks the three realms, he can be so calm and composed. He is worthy of being the son of Yao Ji, the nephew of the Jade Emperor, and an extraordinary person.
"Your Highness Yang Jian," Taibai Jinxing spoke slowly, "Your Majesty ordered that Fairy Yaoji violated the laws of heaven by secretly descending to earth and marrying the mortal Yang Tianyou. This crime is serious.
However, thinking of her many years of guarding the Realm of Desire and her outstanding achievements, plus your ability to kill three dragons and avenge the Great Golden Crow, your achievements are outstanding, and the merits and demerits are balanced, Yao Ji is specially exempted from the divine position, demoted to the mortal world, and cut off the immortals.
membership.
At the same time, I will promote you to the True Monarch of Qingyuan Miaodao and grant you the fiefdom of Guanjiangkou. All major and minor affairs in the area will be determined by your words."
He paused, and his tone became more tender: "Your Highness should know that your Majesty has deep love for each of his children and relatives, but as the Lord of the Three Realms, sometimes he has to consider the overall situation, which seems quite decisive.
This is boundless love, which is beyond the comprehension of ordinary people. If you have time, you might as well ask Her Royal Highness Yao Ji to return to heaven to visit her father and sisters to relieve the pain of missing each other."
After saying this, Taibai Jinxing took out a crystal clear jade talisman containing mysterious power from his sleeve. This was the token conferring the priesthood.
As the Lord of the Three Realms, the Jade Emperor's words are law, and this jade talisman is a symbol of his authority, which is given to the gods so that they can live as long as heaven and earth and remain immortal in the world.
However, the position of god is not easy to assume. It requires the coordination of the energy of heaven and earth. If it is not managed well, not only will the power of the god be damaged, but it is also more likely to be taken back by the Jade Emperor and another worthy person will be chosen.
Because of this, many immortals with advanced cultivation would rather live freely in the world than be burdened by the status of gods and be stuck in one place for the rest of their lives, unable to move.
Of course, being a god also has the benefits of being a god. There is no need to worry about disasters such as wind and fire, the fear of the five declines of heaven and man, and no fear of invasion by powerful enemies. You only need to manage the fiefdom with peace of mind and enjoy peace and quiet.
Even those who are powerful enough to reach heaven and earth would not easily intrude on a small earth lord under normal circumstances.
Yang Jian pondered for a moment, then finally stretched out his hand and firmly took the jade talisman that carried the priesthood and responsibility.
In fact, what few people know is that once you take over the throne of God, you can have a more keen insight into the operation of the laws of heaven and earth, and the flow of the great road seems to be within your reach.
This is because the path to promotion to the divine position is not smooth, and often requires recognition and help from others. If it is always difficult to be promoted, then even the current status is only a drop in the bucket for a deep understanding of the rules of the universe.
What's more, the conferment and deprivation of divine status is often determined by human will in just one thought, so most people with great supernatural powers will not accept the priesthood.
But he knew one thing. It would be difficult not to accept the priesthood in the three realms in the future. It was better to get a good position in advance, so that he would not be afraid of being on the list of gods and being controlled by others.
"Haha~" Seeing that this task was successfully completed, Taibai Jinxing smiled heartily and said goodbye to Yang Jian and Nezha: "Qingyuan Miao Dao Zhenjun, the Great God of Santan Haihui, since today's matter has been successfully resolved, I will take my leave first.
In the future, we will be gods in heaven together. If you have free time, you might as well come to the Nine Heavens as a guest. At that time, I can take out the royal wine and immortal treasures that have been collected for thousands of years and enjoy them with you two."
After saying this, he turned to look at the Nine Golden Crows and Marshal Tianpeng who were still pretending to "struggle" on the ground.
Seeing this, several gods quickly used several mysterious spells to bless themselves. They were instantly refreshed and refreshed. Then they quickly stood up, arranged their weapons and armor, and restored their former majesty and magnanimity.
Soon, I saw dense white clouds in the sky, gathering quickly. And those white clouds, as if impatient, quickly floated into the distance.
…
Above the firmament of the third heaven, strong winds rolled wildly.
Taibai Jinxing looked back at the dense but slightly sparse team of heavenly soldiers following him, and couldn't help but feel curious: "Your Highnesses, Golden Crow, according to my observation, the number of these heavenly soldiers seems to be far less than one hundred thousand. It seems that the battle is fierce.
The casualties were quite heavy.”
After hearing this, Marshal Tianpeng and the Nine Golden Crows exchanged slightly embarrassed looks.
Isn't it an unspoken rule of being a general to take free pay? Is this old man pretending not to know or is he just ordering them?
In the end, it was Marshal Tianpeng who, with his unique open-mindedness and shamelessness, sighed and said: "What Taibai Jinxing said is absolutely true. We did lose more than 50,000 brave soldiers in this battle. They were brave and fearless, but in the end
Turned into dust, not even the bones of the body were left behind.
All of this is for Your Majesty, for the peace and harmony of the Three Realms. What is particularly sad is that those innocent warriors were harmed by the dragon clan's tricks and sacrificed in vain. Every time I think of it, I sigh with regret.
After we report this matter to His Majesty in Yaochi, please ask Taibai Jinxing to say a few kind words for us.
After all, these heavenly soldiers who died in battle have parents and relatives who are waiting for them. If the pension is not generous enough, how can it be worthy of their sacrifice? It may even hurt the hearts of other soldiers.
Furthermore, after this incident, I will definitely write a letter to impeach the Dragon King of the East China Sea and hold him responsible for this incident. Not only will the families of the dead soldiers be compensated, but the salary of the newly recruited heavenly soldiers should also be borne by the East China Sea."
Taibai Jinxing heard the words and nodded in agreement: "Marshal Tianpeng and all the soldiers have worked hard. His Majesty will definitely see your efforts and remember them in his heart."
As soon as these words came out, Marshal Tianpeng and the Nine Golden Crows looked at each other and smiled, their eyes shining with unconcealable joy.
Although the issue of vacancies is sensitive, when I think about it, the pension, compensation, consolation money, plus the salary of the new recruits, this is simply an unexpected windfall!
Although I received a beating this time and a big brother died, it seems to be a good deal!
…
In Chentangguan, everything has settled. After Yang Jian and Nezha said goodbye, their figures gradually drifted away. The eyes of the little yellow cat on his shoulder were spinning around, as if he was thinking about Xiao Jiujiu.
The big black dog followed closely behind, running so fast on its four legs that sparks almost appeared.
As for Nezha's housework, it is naturally inconvenient for outsiders to interfere, lest he do bad things with good intentions, but instead cause a mess and damage the harmony between brothers.
In the sky, Nezha was looking down from a high position, his eyes wandering over Li Jing on the ground. The old guy's face quickly switched between ashen and pale, which was very interesting.
The young man gently twirled the fire-tipped spear in his hand, and landed in front of Li Jing in an elegant manner, raising his head and chest, with an arrogant look on his face.
"Li Jing, when you see the great god of Haihui in Santan, why don't you quickly bow and pay homage? Do you want to resist the decree and disobey it?"
Is it disloyal to betray the king; or is it unjust to say that you are indifferent to the welfare of the people of Chentangguan and allow the rain and sun to shine out of order?" Nezha's words were filled with unquestionable majesty.
When Li Jing heard this, he was speechless for a moment and was about to open his mouth to refute.
"Dong dong dong~" At this moment, the sound of rapid horse hooves broke the silence.
A column of dragon-horse cavalry came like a gust of wind and rain. They were well-equipped and powerful. The general at the head was even more handsome, with five long beards fluttering in the wind, red and phoenix eyes shining with wisdom, and silkworm eyebrows adding a bit of heroism.
, wearing golden armor, holding a golden chisel and a reed pestle, sitting astride a five-color sacred bull.
It was none other than the famous King Wucheng of Zhenguo.
As soon as King Wu Cheng arrived, he went straight to the topic, took out a roll of silk from his arms, and said loudly: "The king has an order, and ordered Li Jing, the commander-in-chief of Chentangguan, to immediately start preparing for the construction of the Santan Haihui Temple. The construction period shall not exceed one hundred years."
Every day, be sure to finish it on time without any mistakes!”
When Li Jing heard this, his face instantly turned livid, but he immediately regained his composure. He suppressed the dissatisfaction and anger in his heart, knelt down respectfully on the ground, and said in a deep voice: "I obey!"
Wucheng King Huang Feihu then turned his eyes to Nezha, who was standing aside. He saw that although this child was small, he had red lips and white teeth, and his red clothes were like fire, exuding an extraordinary aura.
He secretly sighed in his heart, who would have expected that this seemingly immature body actually contains divine power that can shake the world. It is a terrifying existence that whichever force obtains it will be able to have good luck.
Seeing this, Li Jing quickly put away the silk and tried to calm down the atmosphere: "King Wu Cheng, you must have had a hard time coming all the way. Why don't you come back with me and prepare some wine to show your respect."
However, Huang Feihu just glanced at him lightly, his eyes were like looking at a sinister pen.
If he had such a gifted son, he would definitely regard it as a treasure. How could he reject him like Li Jing, or even turn against him?
What does a mere dragon slaying count in the long history of the human race? Have the human race slain too few dragons so far?
"The affairs of the DPRK are busy, so it is inconvenient to stay for a long time." Huang Feihu refused coldly, and then turned to Nezha, with a warm smile on his face.
"Great God Nezha, your Majesty has specifically told me that if you have any needs, I will do my best. I wonder what you think?"
A naughty smile appeared at the corner of Nezha's mouth, and he raised his finger lightly, pointing at Li Jing: "This Lord Commander, when he saw this god, he did not salute. Is it against the king's will? What crime should he be guilty of?"
When King Wu Cheng heard this, he looked at Li Jinglai again.
Li Jing was silent for a moment, and finally succumbed to the pressure of reality. His eyes turned red again, and he bit his lips tightly until they bled. He clasped his fists towards Nezha with difficulty, bent down and saluted respectfully: "Li Jing, the commander-in-chief of Chentangguan, pays homage to the great god Nezha.
"
When Nezha saw this, he couldn't help laughing loudly: "Hahahahahaha!"
After he finished laughing, he tapped his fingertips, and a bright golden talisman floated towards Mrs. Yin and landed in her palm.
"Mrs. Yin, from now on, you are my divine envoy at Chentangguan. Here, your words are the law. No one dares to hurt you at all, otherwise you will be punished by God!"
Li Jing's face instantly became extremely gloomy. He never expected that his usual authority in the family would be completely overturned at this moment.
From now on, will he still be controlled by a woman?
Nezha's move undoubtedly stabbed him hard in the heart.
After taking care of the family affairs, Nezha turned to invite Huang Feihu: "King Wu Cheng, my temple has not been built yet, so I may be neglecting you. However, my master of ceremonies has a relatively strong family, why don't I take you to the Dragon Palace to taste some seafood
How is it delicious?”
When Huang Feihu heard this, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes: "That's very good. It's better to be respectful than to obey!"
Ao Tingxin, who had been lying aside with mixed feelings, didn’t know what to do:???
Damn it!
…
At the mouth of the Guanjiang River, the river is surging and rushing forward like a giant dragon with majestic momentum.
"Shua——"
A dazzling golden light pierced the sky, rushed from a very far distance, and finally hovered steadily in mid-air, revealing Yang Jian's otherworldly figure.
He was condescending, with deep eyes, scanning the mountains and rivers below him, as well as the monsters and primates that inhabited this land.
The little yellow cat had already found a comfortable position, curled up in Yang Jian's pocket, breathing evenly, and had obviously fallen asleep.
The Jade Emperor really knows how to choose a place to enjoy. All the fairies in heaven are as beautiful as flowers and jade, which is a pleasure to the cat's eyes and makes him tired from playing with them.
After a while,
"Woof——" A black shadow came belatedly, and along with the low barking sound, the figure of the big black dog gradually appeared.
Then he turned around and transformed into a black-robed human, but he still retained some canine characteristics in his expression. He respectfully surrounded Yang Jian, appearing to be groveling.
When Roaring Sky Dog's eyes touched the scene below, he couldn't help but froze. He saw towering mountains, surging rivers, dense jungles, and miasma, as well as thousands of miles of desolate land, inaccessible to people, and filled with evil spirits.
He couldn't help being a little dumbfounded and asked in confusion: "Master, why did the Jade Emperor seal you to such a desolate place? Not to mention people here, even the demon clan can't survive! How about we go back to Huashan?"
"
When Yang Jian heard this, he shook his head slightly, with a satisfied smile on his face: "It is a place like this that allows me to lay out whatever I want without any restrictions."
The Roaring Dog scratched his head, looking confused, and then looked enviously at the sleeping little yellow cat in his owner's pocket.
They are both pets, so why do I have to travel hard, while the cat can lie on its owner's body leisurely?
What made him even more depressed was that the cat was extremely overbearing. He had obviously followed his master first, but just because he was greedy for eating something, he was punched on the head by the cat, causing a lump as big as a goose egg.
The bag is still aching.
Bullying the elderly shows no moral integrity!
Under the blue sky, Yang Jian raised his hand leisurely and danced lightly with his fingertips, as if he was talking to the invisible universe.
Then, his heavenly eyes suddenly burst into a piercing cold light. This light not only penetrated the clouds, but also swept across the vast sky and earth, and all mountains, rivers and rivers were under his observation.
In an instant, a fine dotted line gradually emerged in the void. It was the intricate flow of spiritual power here, which was clearly discernible and endlessly mysterious.
In this space filled with mysterious power, the evil spirit is surging, the wind is biting, the spiritual power and the water vapor of the earth are intertwined, forming an ever-changing natural picture. It is so complex and changeable that even an ordinary person will see it if he takes a peek.
Feeling dizzy and unable to grasp its true meaning.
After the Roaring Dog looked around curiously for a few times at first, he wisely chose the simplest way to protect his master.
It slowly lay down, transforming into a dark and shiny black dog, panting heavily, its bright red tongue gently sticking out, but its eyes were extremely firm, tightly locked on all the movements around it.
