The Monkey King

Early the next morning, it started to rain sparsely.

In this gloomy weather, Hou Hou and Yang Chan received the special envoys from all parties who came to see them at the Ten Thousand Demons Hall.

This visit was vaguely meant to pay tribute, but it was not a formal tribute.

Huaguo Mountain annihilated Tianhe Navy's main force, and besieged Nantianmen to welcome back the Monkey King. All the forces have seen this, and they all know that Huaguo Mountain has the upper hand and Heaven's position is in jeopardy.

However, Huaguoshan can only be regarded as the overlord of one party before the Three Pure Ones officially express their stance. Heaven is still the ruler of the three realms. Thousands of years of old practice does not allow each force to make a formal stance at this time.

After weighing the pros and cons, although various parties sent generous gifts, most of them were in private names and not official. At the same time, they all chose to meet alone.

Amidst the sound of drums and music, the first person to go to the hall to see him was the special envoy of Sihai Dragon Palace.

The East China Sea Dragon Palace sent Ao Tingxin, the West Sea Dragon Palace sent Ao Cunxin, and the South China Sea and Beihai each sent a prince.

As the court official read out the Dragon King's gift list, the shrimp soldiers and crab generals carried the boxes one after another into the hall. After tearing off the seals and displaying them in front of the monkeys, the demon soldiers from Huaguo Mountain sealed them and sent them to the internal affairs warehouse.

At first glance, they are just luxuries, such as rare red corals and huge luminous pearls. Although they have no specific use, they are still worth a lot of gold.

When the shrimp soldiers and crabs were about to open the third box, the monkey couldn't help but be stunned.

"Lotus silk steps on the clouds, chain-locked golden armor, phoenix-winged purple-gold crown... these are the ones, is it God's will?"

The monkey's eyes slowly narrowed into slits.

Yang Chan on the side heard this and whispered: "These are treasures treasured by various seas. It's a pity that they are luxurious in appearance. However, their actual uses are ordinary. The Dragon King of the Four Seas can really choose and give these things. They are all priceless. But the essence is irrelevant. On the one hand, they are showing kindness to us, but on the other hand, they should be thinking about avoiding the censure of heaven."

Moving and lifting, a total of forty boxes, large and small, were loaded in and out.

The Dragon King of the Four Seas was also a big spender. Lin Lin finally estimated that he had gold essence worth three to five million, but it was a pity that he didn't see half of the pills and half of the useful weapons and magic weapons.

After reading out and displaying all the gifts, Ao Tingxin, as the representative of the Dragon King of the East China Sea, presented an autographed letter from the Dragon King of the East China Sea with both hands.

After taking it apart, the words were extremely complimentary. But there was no mention at all about the deprivation of rainwater from Huaguo Mountain.

Monkey's brows suddenly raised slightly.

As if he understood the monkey's mind, Yang Chan advised in a low voice: "Forget it, we can make the rain ourselves anyway. At this moment, Sihai Dragon Palace can't say anything, so don't embarrass them."

After giving Yang Chan a faint look, the monkey nodded silently.

With the two relationships of Ao Tingxin and Ao Cunxin, nothing serious would happen. It is indeed difficult for monkeys to attack the world. What's more, the other party has already done enough etiquette and has no intention of embarrassing the monkey.

After just a few casual polite words, the Sihai representative accepted the monkey's handwritten letter to the Dragon King and resigned.

The next people to go to the temple were envoys from several surrounding human countries.

Since they have no direct affiliation with the Heavenly Court, they are not as scrupulous about the Heavenly Court's attitude as the Dragon King of the Four Seas. In fact, some of the special envoys sent are even monarchs themselves. The content of the credential given to the monkey is extremely complimentary. It would not be an exaggeration to interpret it as a letter of loyalty.

but. The gifts they sent were a bit unsightly.

Why does Huaguoshan want gold, silk, and such? Weapon armor and the like. How can those used by mortals get into the eyes of monsters in Huaguo Mountain? As for the ingenuity of a human king who sent his daughter here in order to please the monkeys...

This year. Flattery is also a technical job, you have to find the right position before shooting.

It is a pity that this ingenious monarch obviously does not understand the market situation of Huaguoshan. Just when the monkey was about to accept whatever the other party sent him as planned, Yang Chan's expression changed and he coughed twice... The monarch was inexplicably kicked out, and he was so frightened. Shivering, he felt a little relieved until he received the gift from the Monkey King.

The third wave of visitors is the mortal cultivating forces.

At a glance, most of them are Taoist temples that are not of high quality, and the gifts sent are relatively scarce materials. Naturally, the monkey was not stingy in his return gifts to them, and the viewers were very happy and thanked them profusely.

After dealing with all the formalities, it was the turn of the "stab", and the one assigned at the end was the special envoy of the Ten Palaces of Yama.

When they saw a bull-headed horse-faced man walking into the hall with a few ghost servants, Monkey and Yang Chan, who had been smiling all morning, immediately calmed down.

"The bull head is in the underworld."

"I'm in the underworld, Ma Mian."

"See the Monkey King!"

The two people's deep voices echoed in the hall for a long time.

The posture of bowing and cupping hands remained like this. For a long time, no one called them "no courtesy".

"In the underworld of the underworld, meet the Monkey King!" The two of them looked at each other and repeated it in unison.

No matter the monkey, Yang Chan, or even the court officials serving around him, they remained motionless.

Minotaur Horse Mian vaguely felt that something was wrong.

A Qing family member bowed and walked up to the monkey, presented a note, and said: "Your Majesty, this is the gift list sent by Yama from the Tenth Palace."

He casually took the folded book and turned it over. The monkey only glanced at it briefly before throwing it directly into Niu Tou's face.

At a distance of more than ten feet, the paper fold made a bloody mark directly on Niutou's face.

The two people were suddenly startled, but they did not dare to move. They could only maintain the posture of bowing and holding hands. On his forehead, big beads of sweat dripped slowly.

After a long time, Niu Tou licked his dry lips and whispered: "I wonder if we have accidentally offended the Monkey King. Please let the Monkey King make it clear."

"Are you really stupid or are you pretending to be stupid?" The monkey laughed, stretched out and sat on the throne, staring coldly at the bull-headed horse standing in the middle of the hall and said: "I just want to give you some alchemy materials. I?"

Hearing this, Ma Mian hurriedly said: "Monkey King, calm down, we have no intention of perfunctory. These materials are rare things in the underworld. They are carefully selected by the gods..."

"fart--!"

With a loud shout, the tea cup fell heavily on the hall and exploded. The court officials in the main hall all shrank their heads, and they were so frightened that they knelt down on the spot.

Suddenly, the entire hall fell silent.

Monkey stood up slowly while holding on to the handrail, and said coldly: "Why do I need these things from you?"

He walked down the steps step by step and came to the face of the bull-headed horse. He lifted up the entire bull's head, which was more than ten feet tall and was lying on the ground.

Ma Mian on the side was so shocked that he was stunned.

The monkey grinned and showed its fangs, and said viciously to the bull head: "I heard that they sent all the undead in Huaguo Mountain to the eighteenth level of hell, right?"

Hearing this, the bull's head trembled. He unconsciously avoided the monkey's close eyes. He replied in a low voice: "That... that is His Majesty's imperial edict. All the gods dare not disobey... Please ask the Monkey King... Please ask the Monkey King... please... please bear with me..."

The monkey stared at the bull head and said coldly: "Take everything back and tell them for me that I will only give them one month. Find all the undead souls in my Huaguo Mountain and send them to reincarnation, and they must all be reincarnated." I can't be reincarnated into a rich and noble family. I will send my army to the underworld and take care of it myself. Do you understand?"

"I understand...I understand."

"As long as you understand."

The monkey smiled faintly and loosened his grip. The cow's head softened and it sat slumped on the ground.

Glancing at Ma Mian, who was standing on the side but huddled on the floor with a huge body, not daring to move, the monkey laughed, raised his cloak, turned around and left.

behind. The court official shouted in a long voice: "Send. Special envoy——!"

…

Heavenly Court, Lingxiao Palace.

King Qin Guang, the leader of the ten palaces of Yama, prostrates himself on the ground. Are you looking up?

The Jade Emperor sat on a high dragon chair, his face turned blue.

All the immortals in the hall said nothing.

After a long time, King Qin Guang whispered: "Your Majesty, we must make a decision on this matter as soon as possible, otherwise..."

The Jade Emperor's hands slowly clenched, and his teeth clenched.

King Qin Guang did not dare to continue.

Any immortal family present now understands that once the imperial edict to knock down the Huaguo Mountain monsters to the eighteenth level of hell and never be reborn again is withdrawn and they are allowed to re-enter reincarnation, the Three Realms will allow Huaguo Mountain to do whatever they want.

Since Huaguoshan can force the Jade Emperor to change his will at will, will all forces continue to obey the orders of Heaven?

At that time, even if the Three Pure Ones remain silent, the Heavenly Court's control over the Three Realms will cease to exist in name only.

But if you don't agree, what will happen when Huaguoshan attacks the underworld? What if Huaguo Mountain really sends its army to the underworld...

Although there are hundreds of thousands of ghost soldiers in the underworld, those ghost soldiers can deal with souls just fine, but they have no power to fight back against millions of elite demon soldiers. What's more, there is no natural danger like Nantianmen in the underworld. Even if the Jade Emperor ordered to mobilize the entire military force of heaven for rescue, I am afraid that he would not be able to withstand the attack of the demon army.

At that time, the Heavenly Court sent troops, but the underworld was still forcibly occupied by Huaguoshan. The consequences were not as simple as losing troops and generals.

At this moment, the Jade Emperor was almost ready to die.

The original decision to knock the souls of the Huaguoshan demons down to the eighteenth level of hell was originally as punishment, but who would have thought that it would be himself who would be punished in the end?

After being silent for a long time, he pursed his lips and said softly: "Dear ladies, what do you think about this matter?"

Upon hearing this, King Qin Guang quickly looked around, only to see that all the immortals present were shrinking back.

King Qin Guang was about to burst into tears. He hurriedly climbed forward half a foot, knocked on the steps and shouted: "Your Majesty, that monster monkey only gave you one month. One month in the lower world is only equal to one hour in heaven! Your Majesty. ! I sincerely request your Majesty to make a decision as soon as possible!"

The head of that one made a "bang bang" sound.

This commotion immediately made the Jade Emperor even more upset. He slapped his palm on the dragon case: "I know!"

With a loud shout, all the immortals including King Qin Guang were shocked.

The entire Lingxiao Palace was so quiet that there was no sound at all.

After a long time, the Jade Emperor took a deep breath, suppressed his anger and whispered: "Everyone, please give your opinions, hurry up!"

The hand clasped the armrest of the dragon chair tightly, and the veins on the back of the hand were exposed.

After a while, a low-status immortal came out of the crowd of immortals with a bow and a low voice, and reported in a low voice: "Your Majesty, I think that the demon monkey is a 'drunkard who doesn't care about drinking'."

The Jade Emperor was slightly startled, and said with half-squinted eyes, "How do you say this?"

The immortal took a deep breath, looked left and right, and then whispered: "Your Majesty, think about it, the Huaguoshan Demon Army always takes away the souls of those who died in battle, and does not deliver them to the underworld. Now, There are only a few hundred souls detained in the underworld, and they are all little demons, so how could the demon monkey go to war over these little demons?"

The Jade Emperor raised his head slightly, stroking his long beard and thinking.

Seeing this, the immortal stretched his neck and whispered: "I thought that the demon monkey was doing it for a status."

"Name?" The Jade Emperor frowned slightly, pointed at the immortal family and said, "Tell me in detail."

Hearing this, the immortal family smiled, and finally felt confident, and said loudly: "This monster monkey is cunning by nature. Your Majesty thought about it, now that the old man has not come out of seclusion, the monster monkey can be so arrogant. But how could the old man be so arrogant? Always in seclusion? Once out of seclusion, how can we ignore this monster monkey who has committed such a heinous crime?"

After a short pause, the immortal family continued: "If the monster monkey can seek forgiveness from His Majesty before Laojun comes out of seclusion, it will be equivalent to getting a gold medal for immunity from death. After Laojun comes out of seclusion, it will be impossible for him to He will pursue the case again. If he has no status and cannot be pardoned by His Majesty, then...the day when the old gentleman comes out of seclusion will be the day when the monster monkey dies!"

All the immortals silently nodded in agreement.

At this time, the Jade Emperor smiled bitterly in his heart.

Even if you give him a status, it will be easy to force him to rebel. But... who can guess what Lao Jun is thinking?

When Laojun personally spoke to save the monkey, the Jade Emperor was doubly surprised. Later, if Laojun hadn't said to the Jade Emperor before retreating: "make your own decision," how could the Jade Emperor have rashly attacked the monkeys while Laojun was in retreat, forcing the monkeys to rebel?

It got even more bizarre later on, when the monkey was sent to Tushita Palace by all possible means. Seeing that Tushita Palace was willing to accept him, he thought that Lao Jun was willing to take care of this mess, but he actually let the monkey go.

Not only was he released, but King Kong Zhuo was also taken away by the Xian'e wind chime...

In the final analysis, the reason why the Heavenly Army was defeated this time was not so much because the Demon Army was strong and the Heavenly Army was unfavorable in the battle, but because the Jade Emperor had misunderstood Lao Jun. Even... he was simply deceived by Lao Jun.

But why does Laojun do this?

This puzzled the Jade Emperor.

Those things like "Wind Chime counterfeiting Lao Jun's letter, Wind Chime releasing imperial prisoners privately" are just stage words for outsiders to listen to. Even if a dignified Taoist ancestor is in seclusion, he can never be so seclusion that he doesn't know what is happening in his palace.

If it weren't for the fact that letting the demon race take over the heaven was not in line with Sanqing's ideas, the Jade Emperor would have almost thought that the Supreme Being was planning to let the monkey take his place.

In this situation, we still have to look to Laojun... In addition to sighing, what else can he, the Jade Emperor, do? (To be continued ~^~)
