#1183 - Bimawen (Part 2)
For these two reasons, they definitely wouldn't give the monkey a particularly high position.
Or rather, they wouldn't give the monkey even a common position.
In the Heavenly Court of the Primordial World, many official positions, both large and small, require work to be done.
The monkey's presence in the Heavenly Court wouldn't require him to do any work.
After thinking it over, the most suitable position would be a small one like the弼马温 (Bi Ma Wen, a stableman).
The horses in the Heavenly Court are smarter than ordinary people and don't need the monkey to put in much effort at all.
Haotian said to Taibai Jinxing, "Then according to what you say, go to Huaguo Mountain in Aolai Country of the Eastern Continent and recruit that monkey."
Taibai Jinxing said, "Yes, Your Majesty!"
At this time, Ao Guang, the Dragon King of the East Sea, and Yanluo Wang, one of the Ten Kings of Hell in the Underworld, were no longer clamoring for Haotian to kill the monkey at all costs.
Now that the script has reached this point, the matter is basically over.
If they were to forcibly add more drama to themselves at this time, they would be asking for trouble.
Ao Guang, the Dragon King of the East Sea, said, "Your Majesty is wise!"
Yanluo Wang said, "Your Majesty is wise!"
The civil and military officials of the Primordial Heavenly Court also said in unison, "Your Majesty is wise!"
The meeting in the Lingxiao Palace dispersed, leaving only Haotian looking in the direction of Huaguo Mountain, and said with some anticipation, "A life of boredom can finally have a little more color."
Ao Guang, the Dragon King of the East Sea, and Yanluo Wang, one of the Ten Kings of Hell in the Underworld, walked together.
Ao Guang said, "Yanluo Wang, I didn't realize you had such acting skills!"
Yanluo Wang said modestly, "Ao Guang, your acting skills are not bad either."
On the surface, Yanluo Wang was so modest, but secretly in his heart, he thought, "When it comes to acting, we in the Underworld are serious!"
Previously, relying on professional acting skills, the Underworld, from top to bottom, cooperated with the monkey to complete a great drama of tearing up the Book of Life and Death.
After this great drama was completed, Haotian was obviously very happy, and in these years, he had given the Underworld many good things.
Yanluo Wang was already calculating in his heart what kind of reward Haotian would give after this performance.
Ao Guang said, "Yanluo Wang, what do you think His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor is trying to achieve by summoning us two to perform such a play?"
Yanluo Wang shook his head and said, "Don't ask me about this, I really don't know the purpose of His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor summoning us two."
Ao Guang said, "The mind of His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor is unpredictable. First, he took the monkey to my East Sea to take away the God-Suppressing Pillar, and then he organized the monkey to tear up the Book of Life and Death."
"Now, the purpose of performing such a play is to give the monkey a legitimate reason to come to the Heavenly Court... I'm really a little confused."
Yanluo Wang said, "I heard that you were in a coma for a long time and only recently woke up. His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor was quite ruthless when he attacked you."
Ao Guang said, "Don't mention it, my heart is full of bitter tears when I mention it."
......
After the meeting dispersed, Grand Marshal Li Jing waited specifically on the path that Taibai Jinxing was sure to pass.
Seeing Taibai Jinxing appear, Li Jing stepped forward and said, "Greetings, Lord Taibai Jinxing."
Taibai Jinxing returned the greeting and said, "Greetings, Lord Li Jing. I wonder what brings Lord Li Jing to wait for me here?"
Li Jing said, "It's nothing important. I just want to inquire with you about the purpose of His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor sending you to Huaguo Mountain this time."
"In recent years, His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor has been exceptionally concerned about that monkey from Huaguo Mountain."
"First, he accepted him as a disciple, and then he personally went to the East Sea to take away the God-Suppressing Pillar, and taught this monkey a whole body of skills..."
Taibai Jinxing shook his head and said, "We ministers should not think so much."
"I know that you are a member of the Chan Sect and want to inquire about some news and pass it back to the Chan Sect."
"But I really don't know what His Majesty's plans are for this matter."
There was some disappointment in Li Jing's eyes. He believed Taibai Jinxing's words, but only half of them.
This Taibai Jinxing sometimes tells the complete truth, but sometimes he doesn't reveal anything at all.
Seeing the look in Li Jing's eyes, Taibai Jinxing immediately understood what he was thinking.
He stretched out a finger and pointed to the sky. Taibai Jinxing said, "Li Jing, only His Majesty himself knows what he is thinking about this matter."
"Instead of spending your time trying to figure out His Majesty's thoughts, you might as well think about what your third son, Nezha, is thinking."
"As far as I know, Nezha has not been on good terms with you all these years..."
After saying that, Taibai Jinxing turned and left, preparing to go to Huaguo Mountain in Aolai Country of the Eastern Continent to recruit that monkey.
Li Jing shook his head in place and muttered, "Isn't it because I'm worried about my position being replaced?"
"It wasn't easy to become the Grand Marshal of the Army and Horses after so many years. If I'm not careful and get replaced again, I'll have no place to cry."
Li Jing had been paying attention to Haotian's movements for many reasons, the most important of which was that he had previously secretly seen Qin Liang leading the Heavenly Court's First Army.
He mistakenly thought that the Heavenly Court's First Army was secretly cultivated by Haotian, which greatly increased Li Jing's sense of crisis.
He is the Grand Marshal of the Army and Horses of the Primordial Heavenly Court. Haotian secretly cultivated an elite force but didn't let him know. The deep meaning contained in this is terrifying to think about.
"Forget it, I have to perform well these days and let His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor see my loyalty!"
"And that stinky brat Nezha, how can he not get over the fact that he cut his flesh to return to his mother and scraped his bones to return to his father back then!"
"Later, didn't I just smash his Nezha Palace, which could be resurrected, making him lose hope of resurrection and had no choice but to transform into a lotus root body..."
Speaking of the latter, Li Jing's voice became weaker and weaker, probably because he also felt a little too much.
When Taibai Jinxing was halfway there, he slapped his forehead and said, "How can I go to recruit that monkey this time without a gift?"
"At least this monkey is also His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor's disciple, I have to take a gift with me..."
Taibai Jinxing was troubled again about what kind of gift to choose.
The troubled Taibai Jinxing happened to pass by the蟠桃 (Pan Tao, flat peach) Garden, and the fragrance of the蟠桃 (Pan Tao, flat peach) Garden came to his nose.
Taibai Jinxing's eyes lit up and said, "Although that monkey jumped out of a stone, he is still a monkey in the true sense."
"Since he is a monkey, then he must like to eat peaches. Why don't I pick a few蟠桃 (Pan Tao, flat peach) from this蟠桃 (Pan Tao, flat peach) Garden and give them to him as a good gift."
Thinking of this, Taibai Jinxing raised his foot and stepped into the蟠桃 (Pan Tao, flat peach) Garden.
The seven fairies who manage the蟠桃 (Pan Tao, flat peach) Garden saw Taibai Jinxing, the favored minister of the Heavenly Emperor and a powerful minister of the Heavenly Court, come to the蟠桃 (Pan Tao, flat peach) Garden.
One by one, they put down what they were doing and came to greet him, "Greetings, Lord Taibai Jinxing!"
"Why did Lord Taibai Jinxing think of our蟠桃 (Pan Tao, flat peach) Garden today?"
"Could it be that His Majesty wants to eat蟠桃 (Pan Tao, flat peach)?"
"The other蟠桃 (Pan Tao, flat peach) have already ripened, only the best蟠桃 (Pan Tao, flat peach) has not yet ripened, and we have to wait."
Taibai Jinxing smiled and said, "It's not that His Majesty wants to eat蟠桃 (Pan Tao, flat peach), but that I want to pick a few蟠桃 (Pan Tao, flat peach) to give away. I wonder if a few fairies can pick a few蟠桃 (Pan Tao, flat peach) for me?"
