The Jade Emperor took the initiative to recruit Cheng Long to be an official in heaven, which was considered a great favor to Buddhism. However, he was granted the title of Monkey King, the Monkey King, to command the three armies, and gave him real power, which Buddhism did not expect.
Although the real power of supervising the three realms and commanding the three armies is still somewhat fictitious, after all, Marshal Tianpeng, who is in charge of the Tianhe 80,000 navy army, has the direct boss Emperor Ziwei, Li Jing has 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals, and six more Emperor Gouchen, one of the emperors, was fully responsible.
Emperor Gouchen assisted the Jade Emperor in controlling the North and South Poles and the three talents of heaven, earth, and man, and also controlled the affairs of the human world.
Almost all of Heavenly Court’s armed forces were divided between Emperor Ziwei and Emperor Gouchen.
To put it bluntly, the Great Sage Qitian who was conferred by the Jade Emperor to Cheng Long was still a fictitious position with some real power. He did not even have a serious divine seal. When Cheng Long himself served as the Ziwei Emperor in Baolian Deng , Ziwei Emperor Star recognized its master on the spot, and the divine seal hidden in the core of Emperor Star also took the initiative when he arrived at Ziwei Star.
At this moment, except for a mansion, as well as the eighth-turn golden elixir and flat peaches given by the Jade Emperor, there is no Xian'e under his command to clean the mansion.
But with the emperor's order given by the Jade Emperor, he can go to any military camp to dispatch troops and generals to catch monsters in the lower world, or capture gods who violate the laws of heaven.
The token is not only a magical weapon in Taoism, but also a symbol of the authority of the gods. They can deter demons and ensure peace and order in the world.
Whether used to ward off evil spirits or to appease, tokens play a key role in maintaining the balance between the human and divine realms.
Even if you don’t have any cultivation before being awarded the title, you can immediately receive the token and master the great power between heaven and earth after being awarded the title.
Common ones include the Five Thunder Order, the Emperor's Order, the Qingwei Order, the Shenxiao Order, etc. Each token has its own unique purpose and symbolic meaning.
Five Thunder Orders: Mainly used to kill demons, exorcise evil spirits and cure diseases. There are also specific requirements for its shape and materials. It is usually made of lightning strike jujube wood, with the names of the twenty-eight constellations engraved around it.
The Emperor's Order: Used to control the three realms, dispatch troops and generals, and summon ghosts and gods.
There are very few people who are qualified to take the emperor's orders, because it represents real power. The reason why Cheng Long's priesthood is empty is because he only has the emperor's orders and does not have a direct army under his command.
However, when necessary, Cheng Long can show the emperor's order and send powerful gods such as King Tota and Marshal Tianpeng to lead troops to fight...
As for the Qingwei order and the Shenxiao order?
The former originates from the Qingwei sect of Taoism, which emphasizes internal refining and external use, and is used to summon gods. It is somewhat related to Yuanshi Tianzun, while the Shenxiao sect is related to Lingbao Tianzun.
Of course, these tokens have different functions in the hands of different people. Although they are one of the must-have artifacts for every god, the emperor's order that falls into Cheng Long's hands can only be adjusted. The function of dispatching generals is consistent with the function of military symbols in the human world.
In addition, because he has the responsibility of monitoring the Three Realms, after taking office, he can easily be framed by Buddhism and sow discord between him and the Jade Emperor.
Cheng Long’s guess was not groundless.
In less than a month, a Japanese travel god reported that there was demonic cholera in Hezhou, Xiniu.
When the Jade Emperor used the Kunlun Mirror to check the disaster situation, all the immortals in the Lingxiao Palace took a breath.
On the remote monitoring screen, a bustling town that was supposed to be bustling with people turned into a deserted dead town. Almost all the buildings in the town were destroyed, as if they were hit by a tornado. Just average...
"Your Majesty, the human tragedy that happened in Xiniu Hezhou was caused by the failure of the Monkey King's supervision and the corpses were eaten without food. If he is not punished severely, I am afraid it will be difficult to convince the public."
Li Jing, the King of Tota The first one to jump out was Cheng Long.
Sure enough, as Cheng Long guessed, if he takes on the responsibility of monitoring the Three Realms, anything that happens anywhere in the Three Realms can be blamed on him.
There are no important soldiers, and there are a lot of scapegoats.
If he had not already taken the benefits given by the Jade Emperor and could not just throw away his face, Cheng Long would have wanted to give up the job directly.
"King Li Tian is serious. It is normal for monsters in the lower realms to eat people. The Great Sage has been in office for less than a month, and he has not even had time to get familiar with the heaven. He has no soldiers under his command, so how can he have time to monitor the three realms!"
Tabai Jinxing received the boss's look and jumped out to help speak, as if he was afraid that Sun Wukong would be convicted if it was too late.
Wude Xingjun, who has an ambiguous relationship with Buddhism, immediately stood up and retorted: "Taibai Xingjun, you are obviously showing favoritism! As the saying goes, you eat the emperor's salary and worry about the emperor's worries. Since Sun Dasheng has received the priesthood of supervising the three realms, he cannot If you are careless, you must always pay attention to every move in the lower world..."
"Wude Xingjun, according to what you say, the Great Sage will never do it again in the future. If you have to practice cultivation and stay at Nantian Gate every day, watching every move in the Three Realms, what do you think he is? The Great Sage doesn’t need to rest? "
Taibai Jinxing, as the Jade Emperor’s confidant, is the last I understand His Majesty's intention. No matter how big the movement of Buddhism is behind the scenes, we must fight for it and we must not follow Buddhism's intention and punish Sun Wukong indiscriminately.
"Taibai, you have to admit your mistakes and stand upright when you are beaten. Don't you understand such a simple truth?"
Li Jing stroked his long beard and said sarcastic words, as if he had already Victory is almost certain.
As everyone knows, the Jade Emperor had played a trick on them early. Looking at the noisy immortal family, the Jade Emperor Feng Qingyun said calmly: "The Li Qing family is right. If you make a mistake, you must admit it, and if you are beaten, you must stand upright. But you Maybe I didn’t understand that Sun Aiqing’s duty to supervise the three realms is to supervise, inspect and report departments and gods.”
“The tragedy that happened in Xiniu Hezhou really made me sad. Heartbroken, Sun Aiqing is also responsible for the unfavorable inspection, but the main responsibility is to hook the gods under Emperor Chen who are responsible for that area..."
Speaking of this, the Jade Emperor changed the subject and raised his head to look at the crowd. Immortal, said: "Where is the Great Emperor Gouchen?"
"I am here."
Lei Zhenzi, the Great Emperor Gouchen, knew that he could not avoid it, so he could only bite the bullet and walk out from the front row.
Lei Zhenzi, who became a god in the flesh together with Yang Jian, Nezha and others, made no significant progress after his cultivation broke through to the Taiyi realm, and was never able to break through to the Daluo realm.
But this Taiyi Golden Immortal was actually given a high official position by Jiang Ziya and became one of the Six Imperial Guards.
However, many of the disciples of Jiejiao who have advanced practices can only hold the position of Star Lord, God of Wealth, etc. In addition to the higher status of Dou Mu Yuanjun of the Holy Mother of the Golden Spirit, he was already a Daluo Jinxian during the period of being a god. Zhao Gongming, the top disciple of Jiejiao's outer sect, is just a god of wealth.
"Which divine generals will be responsible for patrolling and protecting Xiniu Hezhou in the near future?"
The Jade Emperor stared directly at Lei Zhenzi, making him feel frightened.
Li Jing and the Four Heavenly Kings looked at each other. This plot is wrong!
Didn’t Buddha already discuss with the Jade Emperor to join forces to suppress Sun Wukong?
How did you start to get to the bottom of it?
"Xiniu Hezhou has always been protected by King Guangmu..."
Lei Zhenzi is a person who explains Buddhism and betrays Buddhism. He has no sense of guilt in his heart and just opens his mouth.
In fact, what he said is not a betrayal. Each of the four heavenly kings themselves holds a continent to ensure that the country in the continent has good weather, peace and prosperity, and good harvests.
Now the entire town has been eaten by monsters.
King Guangmu is undoubtedly the first person responsible.
The four heavenly kings in heaven are called the Four Vajras in Buddhism, and are also called the ‘Four Heavenly Kings that Protect the World’.
Cuming Cheng Long for unfavorable supervision in Buddhism will only drag his own people into trouble.
"Now that the matter is over, let King Guangmu take the blame and perform meritorious service. He will be responsible for arresting this demon within three days, otherwise he will be forced to go to the Immortal Platform to kill him."
The Jade Emperor used the calmest words. , told the most shocking thing to the immortal.
The Immortal Killing Platform is not a fun place. Going to the Immortal Killing Platform means that you will be stripped of your immortal status, your head will be cut off, and your soul will return to the underworld.
If you are lucky, you can be extradited in the next life and practice as an immortal again. If you are not lucky, you will disappear into the crowd and disappear into the vast sea of people.
Of course, with his status as King Guangmu, even if he is beheaded by the Jade Emperor, he will be extradited by Buddhism in the next life. There is no doubt about this. Even so, Guangmu Tianwang was still a little unprepared to eat melon.
However, what the Jade Emperor said was right, there was a demon trouble in the lower world, and they, the people directly responsible, were the first to bear the brunt.
In fact, similar things happened often in the past. Whether it was Buddhism or Taoism, there were immortal mounts secretly descending to earth to eat people, but no one reported it.
The same sentence.
Some things won’t weigh as much as four ounces if they don’t go on the scale, and they won’t stop even if they weigh a thousand pounds on the scale.
If no one mentions this, just pretend that nothing happened. If it is mentioned, you have to do some superficial things.
Sometimes even when you encounter a fairy mount with a particularly large background, you have to treat it as invisible if you mention it. The most typical one is the three demons of Shituoling in the original work of Journey to the West.
Garuda is the uncle of Tathagata!
The green-haired lion monster is the mount of Manjushri Bodhisattva!
The old yellow-tusked elephant is the mount of Samantabhadra Bodhisattva!
Therefore, they eat humans and heavenly soldiers, and are not punished afterwards. They just return to their original positions.
Buddhist secretly caused trouble this time, not realizing that the Jade Emperor would not play his cards according to the routine. Not only did he not help severely punish Sun Wukong or suppress Sun Wukong, but he assigned the responsibility to King Guangmu.
Fortunately, this is not a big deal. Just go to the lower world and catch a random monster with no background and you can handle it.
I saw King Guangmu saying with a relaxed face: "Thank you for your magnanimity, Your Majesty. I will go down to capture this official and tie him to the demon-slaying platform."
Cheng Long followed closely. He said: "Your Majesty, can you allow me to accompany you down to the lower realms and perform the duties of supervision?"
"Accurate!"
The Jade Emperor said without hesitation.
……
About an hour later.
King Guangmu led three thousand heavenly soldiers and landed in the deserted town.
"Go over there..."
The King of Western Broad Eyes, who had a red dragon on his shoulder, casually sniffed above the town, then led three thousand heavenly soldiers and chased towards the east.
Cheng Long followed leisurely, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, with a hint of coldness.
The monster that ate up the people in the town was not a big monster, but a real fairyland lion monster, which may be somewhat related to the green-haired lion monster that Manjushri Bodhisattva rides.
As the distance gradually got closer, suddenly a demonic aura rose into the sky in front of him. This demonic aura was extremely ferocious. King Guangmu widened his eyes. When he looked at it, he saw a figure below. An extremely huge golden-winged roc bird is above a city, opening its big mouth and swallowing a large number of creatures.
A woman in gorgeous clothes, a farmer in coarse linen, a carefree naughty boy...
A person is visibly pulled up into the sky by the hurricane.
"King Guangmu, why don't you take action to capture the demon? Do you want this great sage to come back and join you?" Cheng Long suppressed his anger and stared at King Guangmu expressionlessly.
"Uh...this..."
King Guangmu stammered, not knowing what to do.
Because the golden-winged roc in front of him was none other than Tathagata Buddha's uncle, a great demon from the Da Luo Jin Fairyland.
Not to mention that he is only in the Taiyi realm and cannot defeat the Golden-winged Dapeng. Even if he could, he would not dare to take action!
It’s just a show.
Why did you call this person here?
Or is it that the Golden-winged Dapeng has been staying in Lingshan for a long time and wants to take the opportunity to come out and eat some people to satisfy its appetite?
"King Guangmu, don't forget that you are guilty now. If you let the roc eat people, it will be an even greater crime. Then it will not be as simple as beheading."
"..."
Guangmu Tianwang felt like he was sitting on pins and needles, as if there was a lump in his throat, and he was almost stupid.
It doesn’t matter if you go up, it doesn’t matter if you don’t go up.
“Golden-winged Dapeng, you have harmed me!”
King Guangmu wanted to cry but had no tears, and was extremely tangled in his heart.
Cheng Long didn't have time to waste time with him. Seeing more and more people being sucked into the sky, he finally couldn't bear it anymore and took action.
While thinking, the Ruyi Golden Cudgel placed in the Purple Mansion of Upper Dantian shone with dazzling golden light and turned into a stream of light and fell into Cheng Long's hands.
"Monster, take a stick from my old grandson!"
One end of the two-finger-thick golden cudgel rose in the storm, and a surging and manic aura rushed towards the face. The golden hoop suspended above the town spread its wings. The winged roc was forced to interrupt its gluttonous meal of cannibalizing humans. It spread its wings like thunder and soared dozens of miles away in an instant.
The golden-winged roc is famous for its speed. It can fly 90,000 miles with one wing. With both wings working together, it can fly 180,000 miles with just one spread.
Soaring dozens of miles away in an instant, not even a warm-up.
"Where did you come from? How dare you sneak attack your grandpa? You will not be spared today..." Looking at Cheng Long who put away the magic weapon and teleported in front of him, the golden-winged roc was dissatisfied with the evil spirit in his eyes. .
This made King Guangmu, who came later, worried. He hurriedly stepped forward to persuade: "Can you two listen to me?"
"Get out!"×2< br>
Both Cheng Long and Golden-winged Dapeng have bad tempers.
One hates seeing monsters eating people, and the other hates being disturbed while eating.
What's more, this time I went out to eat, I still sneaked out of Lingshan, and I had to rush back after eating.
Being disturbed at this time, the already bad-tempered Golden-winged Dapeng was already angry and wanted to cut Cheng Long into pieces and eat it into his stomach in small bites.
The battle is about to begin.
A black and white jade bottle fell from the sky, suspended in the void in an upside-down manner, with the mouth of the bottle pointed at Cheng Long.
Following this, a terrifying suction force came. Cheng Long could have resisted, but not only did he fail to resist the suction of the black and white jade bottle, he even flew in on his own initiative.
“Sun Wukong, this boy, is really a very brave man. He dares to take the initiative to get into the yin and yang two-qi bottle! There are seven treasures and eight trigrams in this bottle, and the twenty-four Qi, which is a low-grade innate spiritual treasure. It's Daluo Jinxianyi If you are not careful, you will be turned into a puddle of pus by the Yin and Yang cylinders. "
In a pavilion in Yaochi, the Jade Emperor, sitting opposite the Queen Mother, couldn't help but feel sad when he looked at the picture in the Kunlun Mirror. Cheng Long was shocked by his boldness.
The terrifying thing about the innate spiritual treasure is that the Great Luo Jinxian can be killed if he is not careful.
Some vicious innate spiritual treasures can even kill immortals without being seen. (End of this chapter)
