After the Emperor of Heaven finished speaking, Taibai Jinxing stood up and played.
"Your Majesty, although the Nether Underworld is the underworld of heaven, it is still under the direct management of Emperor Houtu. Moreover, this matter is said to be a mistake caused by the souls of the underworld. It is not reasonable. Emperor Houtu did not directly intervene to deal with it.
That Stone Monkey, if my Heavenly Court directly sends troops to capture the Stone Monkey, wouldn’t it be a bit..."
Some dogs meddle with mice, which is what Taibai Jinxing meant, but he did not say the next words. He believed that the Emperor of Heaven would understand what he meant.
The Emperor thought for a moment, then nodded.
After all, the Netherworld Underworld is under the direct jurisdiction of Emperor Hou Tu. This was a decision that was discussed at the beginning. Since Hou Tu has no intention of blaming the demon monkey, if he directly sends troops, he does have the intention of overstepping his authority.
It is really not worth it to directly refute the face of Emperor Houtu for a stone monkey from the lower realm.
"In your opinion, how should this matter be handled?"
Taibai Jinxing bowed his head and said: "In the three realms, anyone with spiritual roots can cultivate immortality. Although this monkey was born and raised by the earth and nurtured by the sun and the moon, it has now cultivated the immortal way and has the ability to subjugate dragons and tigers, so it is no different from immortals."
the difference."
"I sincerely request your Majesty, as he is not easy to cultivate, so you can issue an imperial edict to bring him to the heaven, and grant him a medium-sized official position. This will not only reflect your majesty's kindness, but also keep the stone monkey in the heaven, so as not to
He will cause trouble again in the lower world."
"What if the monkey refuses to be welcomed?" asked a priest.
"If the stone monkey disobeys the destiny of heaven, you can capture it. The combination of kindness and power not only shows the mercy of heaven, but also shows that the power of heaven is irresistible!"
The Emperor of Heaven was very happy when he heard the words and said: "According to your instructions."
Immediately, Wen Quxing and other immortal officials were ordered to prepare edicts, and Taibai Jinxing was responsible for recruiting people from the lower realms.
After the court meeting ended, and after all the immortal officials had retreated, Emperor Ziwei said: "It stands to reason that the demon cultivators of the Three Realms are under the control of Emperor Chen, but our emperor has basically stayed in the dojo to retreat since the creation of the earthly immortal world.
Cultivation rarely deals with external affairs. If this continues, if hundreds of millions of demon cultivators continue like this for a long time, something may happen!"
"They're just some demon cultivators from the lower realm. No matter how many there are, what can they do?"
The Emperor of Heaven did not take it seriously. In his opinion, the only ones who are really capable of stirring up troubles in this world are the few Taiyi realm experts. If Emperor Gou Chen can stay calm and stay in the dojo, then
It couldn't be better, it can also save him a lot of time and focus on other matters.
"Your Majesty, Gouchen and I are not of the same mind after all. Your Majesty still needs to pay more attention!" Seeing that the Emperor of Heaven did not take it seriously, Emperor Ziwei continued to admonish.
For some reason, the emperor felt unhappy when he saw Gou Chen. He always felt that the other party was hiding some conspiracy, but he couldn't see any clues. Apart from reminding the Emperor of Heaven to pay attention, there was no other good way.
"You are right, I will pay more attention to it in the future!" The Emperor nodded.
After Emperor Ziwei left, the Emperor of Heaven showed a smile. After the two great emperors Gou Chen and Hou Tu entered the heaven, Ziwei and Emperor Changsheng focused their thoughts on these two new emperors. There was mutual affection between the two sides.
The restriction made his majesty as the Emperor of Heaven even more grand!
.......
On the other side, after Taibai Jinxing obtained the decree of the Emperor of Heaven, he went out of the Nantian Gate, passed through a space passage connecting the earthly immortal world, and then rode the auspicious clouds all the way to the sky above the Water Curtain Cave in the Flower and Fruit Mountain.
The sudden arrival of such an immortal official naturally attracted the attention of Sun Wukong, the Bull Demon King and others who were drinking and having fun in the Flower and Fruit Mountain.
"Hey, it's Taibaijin. It seems like we haven't seen each other for tens of thousands of years, right?"
The Bull Demon King was the first to fly up and say hello to Taibai Jinxing.
Back when he was in the Gouchen Star Territory, the Emperor of Heaven summoned Patriarch Taichu to enter the Heavenly Court. It was Taibai Laoer who came to pass on the decree, and the two of them had some dealings with each other.
"It turns out to be the Bull Demon King. I heard that you have become a Taoist couple with the Fire Fairy under the Emperor's throne? It's really gratifying and congratulatory. I came in a hurry this time. I didn't know that you are here, Your Majesty. Next time, I will prepare a congratulatory gift for you.
Come on!" Taibai Jinxing greeted very familiarly.
But when the Bull Demon King heard this, he quickly waved his hands and shook his head, saying: "Everything that doesn't exist is just rumored outside. The Emperor hasn't nodded to this matter yet. How dare I, Old Niu, directly become a Taoist couple with the Fire Fairy?"
The Bull Demon King said this with a guilty conscience. In fact, he and the ancestor's outer disciple Huo Xianzi had really known each other a long time ago, and they had also planned to become a Taoist couple.
However, in these ten thousand years, the ancestor has hardly come out of seclusion. The two of them couldn't wait any longer, so they secretly became Taoist couples. They decided to kill each other first and then show off. They thought that they would wait until the ancestor came out of seclusion one day, and then ask for his permission.
The two are allowed to become Taoist couples.
After all, this matter has not yet been approved by the ancestor, and the Bull Demon King does not dare to talk nonsense. Even though many people are well aware of this, he has never admitted it. If it becomes known to the whole world, it will cause chaos.
The dissatisfaction of the ancestors would be tragic.
"I see, I made a mistake!" Taibai Jinxing did not dwell on this matter. Instead, he lowered his head and looked around among the demon kings. Finally, his eyes fell on a man wearing golden armor who looked like
On the majestic monkey.
"You must be the Monkey King of Huaguo Mountain, Sun Wukong, right?"
"It's me, Mr. Sun. How do you call me Mr. Sun?"
Taibaijinxing took out the document from behind and said: "I am Taibaijinxing from the West, and I have been entrusted with the imperial edict of the Emperor of Heaven to recruit you to peace. I invite you from the lower realms to go to heaven and worship and receive the Immortal Record."
Wukong was overjoyed when he heard this. Ever since he acquired magical powers, he had always wanted to show off his talents and ambitions. Now that he heard that he could enter heaven and become an immortal official, he was very satisfied at the moment.
In his opinion, his parents are heaven and earth, and heaven represents the will of heaven and earth. Perhaps becoming an official in heaven is the future planned for him by the system in his mind.
"Venus has come at the right time. I, Huaguoshan, are preparing a banquet. Why don't we join us and have a few drinks?"
Taibai Jinxing waved his hand, "I don't dare to stay for a long time since I am here. I also ask the king to go to the heaven with you. After the official status is confirmed, it will not be too late to attend the banquet."
When Wukong heard the words, he immediately nodded in agreement, but the Bull Demon King on the side pulled him aside and muttered: "Brother, please think about it, heaven is not like this Huaguo Mountain, where there are many rules and countless strong people.
When you go there, you won’t be so free and at ease!”
Wukong smiled and shook his head, "Thank you for your kindness, brother. I was born and raised by heaven and earth, and I can be regarded as receiving the favor of heaven. Now that the emperor has decreed that I go to heaven to serve as an official, it is difficult to refuse!"
After hearing this, the Bull Demon King no longer tried to persuade him, but patted his chest and said, "In that case, it's okay for me, good brother, to go. If you live a miserable life in the heaven, you will end up in the lower world. We, brothers, will live and die together."
