In front of the Lingxiao Palace, most of the thirty-six divine generals of the Thunder Department were killed or injured, and the remaining ten or so people were also injured. Each of them was carrying a sword, and they forcibly cheered up to guard this first treasure palace of the Heavenly Palace.
It was just that the tired look on his face was difficult to conceal. When they saw Wang Lingguan, they all hurriedly saluted. Everyone knew that Wang Lingguan resisted the demon monkey alone and protected the Great Heavenly Lord, so he must be rewarded with a super promotion.
Wang Lingguan and his colleagues held their hands slightly before following Taibai Jinxing in.
In the main hall, the Great Heavenly Lord Wei Wei was sitting high. When he saw these heavenly generals, he said, "You must be rewarded for your merits in protecting them."
"All the ministers are discussing, who should be rewarded, and how to reward meritorious ministers?"
At that moment, a civil servant came forward and said: "Wang Lingguan resisted the demon monkey and protected the Lingxiao Palace. This was his first achievement. He should be promoted."
Several people came out to echo, but no one objected. The Great Heavenly Lord pondered for a long time and asked: "Wang Lingguan has made great achievements in protecting the Lingxiao Palace, and he should be promoted. But where is the lack of responsibility?"
An immortal official in charge of the books came out and said: "Both the thunder department and the fire department are lacking."
The Great Heavenly Lord pondered for a moment and said: "I will promote Wang Lingguan to the position of Chief God of the Fire Department, Marshal of the Three-Fifth Train, and command all the soldiers and generals of the Fire Department. I will take up my post from now on, and I will not slack off."
As soon as these words came out, all the immortal officials were shocked. Everyone knew that Wang Lingguan had done a good job in protecting the emperor, and had betrayed Zhang Zhenjun, the heavenly master, and the lion king Bodhisattva. They recommended him for promotion. Everyone was very happy, but they did not expect that the great heavenly master actually
Wang Lingguan was promoted to Marshal of the Ministry of Fire.
Lingguan is a fifth-rank position, and if he is promoted once, he should be a fourth-rank officer. Fire Marshal is a third-rank position. If Wang Lingguan and others are promoted two ranks, they are already promoted beyond the rank.
In particular, he also ordered Qi to take charge of the Ministry of Fire. This was a position of real power. His troops and horses were strong and his power was overwhelming. It was even more important than his official duties.
The eight righteous gods in the heaven are thunder, plague, fight, fire, water, wealth, age, and good fortune. They are the strongest soldiers in the heaven and are directly under the command of the Great Heavenly Lord.
Someone had just left work and wanted to make a speech to protest against this move. The Great Heavenly Lord was already impatient and said: "The heaven is caused by the monster monkey, and everything must be cleaned up. Don't delay the political affairs, and let's discuss who should be rewarded next."
The Immortal Official who was on duty knew that the Great Heavenly Lord had made up his mind and did not dare to offend Tianyan, so he retreated dejectedly, and the matter was settled.
Even Wang Lingguan was overjoyed. He didn't expect that he would be promoted twice, and be promoted to an important office such as the Ministry of Fire.
That monster monkey fought tooth and nail."
Awarding several Heavenly Generals consecutively is not as easy as Wang Lingguan. Some people support and some oppose. Civil and military gods all have their own suggestions. Apart from supporting Wang Lingguan, the Great Heavenly Lord has not much to say about the other meritorious Heavenly Generals.
Gods and gods from all walks of life talked loudly and finally decided on the merits.
Wang Chong and the other Five Little Evils were drowsy after listening to such a correct performance, but they didn't dare to be presumptuous. They were trying their best to keep their spirits up so as not to lose their etiquette in the palace. This was neither a big nor a small crime, but it was also a sin.
Suddenly, Taibaijinxing came out and said: "Wutai disciples Ye Xuan, Wang Chong and others, because they were escorting the big demon from the lower world, they happened to be in Taiye Lake. When the demon monkey escaped, the five of them were not afraid of danger and did not avoid danger.
, fighting bravely to be the first, so that the demon monkey had to dodge the edge and escape in a hurry."
"I think I should also be rewarded."
Wang Chong's head almost exploded when he heard this, and he thought to himself: "Why does it sound like we have driven away the demonic monkey? Old Immortal Taibai confuses right and wrong so much that the Great Heavenly Lord doesn't know how to scold us. If we are implicated, we may also be punished.
"
Why not avoid danger, fight bravely, and let the demon monkey avoid the sharp edge? This nonsense made the five little ones sweat on their foreheads, for fear of being called up by the Great Heavenly Lord to tell the truth.
As soon as Taibai Jinxing said this, the whole hall was completely silent.
After a while, Lord Wu Quxing came out and said: "What Taibai Jinxing said is true. My heavenly soldiers and generals, together with these five Wutai disciples, fought bravely, defeated the monster monkey, and were not afraid of life and death. They are worthy of commendation."
"
Wang Chong thought to himself: "The heavenly soldiers and generals guarding the Taiye Pond have all fled without a trace. How can they be strong enough to defeat the monster monkey?"
What surprised the five little ones was that this time, all the civil and military immortals in the court came together to express their gratitude and praise the five of them very much.
The Great Heavenly Lord pondered for a moment, sneered, and said: "In this case, even if it is considered meritorious, Ye Xuan will be made a third-class divine general and transferred to the Fire Department. Wang Chong will also be made a third-class divine general, and his duties will remain the same. The other three
Each person is promoted once, and his job remains unchanged. Each person is rewarded with ten golden flowers, ten bottles of royal wine, a hundred pills of the third-turn elixir, a thousand-year-old spiritual pearl, an armor made by the heavenly court, and a sword.
Wait, let’s discuss it later.”
The Great Heavenly Lord spoke, and all the immortals chanted in unison. The entire hall was filled with a joyful atmosphere, as if the monster monkeys had just swept across the hall and caused an uproar that had never happened before.
Wang Chong was taught by his father. Although he didn't understand why he was suddenly promoted, like a farce, he could vaguely guess that there must be a violent undercurrent, and maybe he was taking the limelight for someone.
The Great Heavenly Lord continued to discuss matters with a group of civil and military immortals.
Wang Lingguan knew that he had nothing to do with himself. He was the chief officer of the Fire Department, but Lingguan was not relieved of his duties. Therefore, he still had the important task of patrolling the Heavenly Palace. He did not need to participate in the discussion. He took Wang Chong and others and left quietly.
Lingxiao Palace.
After leaving the Lingxiao Palace, Ye Xuan hurriedly said: "Congratulations, Master."
Wang Lingguan smiled and said: "You have gained an advantage. This time the monster monkeys caused chaos, and many immortals fled to avoid fighting. According to the law of heaven, they all should be killed."
"So they used the five of you as arrows to cover up the immortals' flight and fear of war. If it weren't for this absurdity, how could they take advantage of you guys?"
"I have been in heaven for hundreds of years, and I only got one promotion opportunity. You guys only came up once, and you got two opportunities. The first time, you can say that you got it in exchange for merit, but the second time you got it for nothing."
Ye Xuan, Wang Chong and others also had their faces full of shame. This matter was indeed a bit embarrassing. Fortunately, they didn't take the initiative, but they had a good conscience.
Wang Lingguan was in a good mood. He first took five little ones to receive the reward from the Great Heavenly Lord, and then sent Barun and Huang Zhong to the Lion Palace. Then he personally sent Wang Chong and Zhu Ying back to Taiye Pool and gave instructions to Yun.
He pushed the two of them into the pool.
Wang Chong and Zhu Ying fell into the Taiye Pool and held their hands tightly.
This pool of water is the convergence of the Tianhe River and leads to the lower world. It is very mysterious. Once it is lost, you don’t know where it will go.
Fortunately, Wang Chong had learned the water-bending method, which was the secret of the Dragon Palace. Together with Zhu Ying, he followed the current and made waves.
Suddenly, a sharp shout came: "Little thief, I knew you were going to come down too, so I risked my life and death to wait for you in the water."
"The revenge for capturing me alive will be avenged today."
