Journey to the West: Interpretation and Teaching Disciples

Chapter 78

Sun Wukong turned over and stood up. Marshal Ma and Liu Er, who were by Sun Wukong's side, saw that Sun Wukong woke up and said, "My lord, you drank a lot this time and slept all night!"

"Oh!" Sun Wukong scratched his head and laughed, "I seemed to have a dream just now, in which I went to the underworld!"

After hearing Sun Wukong's words, all the monkeys asked him to tell him about his dream.

Monkey King didn't delay, he laughed and told how he entered the underworld, how he made trouble in the underworld, and how he eliminated life and death.

After hearing this, all the monkeys praised the king for his strength and his benevolence.

Sun Wukong was also very happy to hear the compliments from the monkeys, so he ordered Ma, Liu, Beng, and Ba to prepare a banquet.

The cave masters of the 72nd Cave near Huaguo Mountain brought presents to congratulate Monkey King after hearing that Monkey King broke into the underworld, expressing that he would always surrender to Monkey King.

At the same time, the six sworn brothers of Monkey King also came to congratulate Monkey King.So there is a small feast on Huaguo Mountain for three days, and a big feast for five days.Singing and laughing, so happy.

But when Monkey King was having a good time on Huaguo Mountain, there was also talk about Monkey King in Heaven.

One day, the Jade Emperor was reviewing jade seals.Suddenly Zhang Tianshi came to report, "Your Majesty, the Dragon King of the East China Sea from the lower realm seeks to see you!"

"Oh!" The Jade Emperor frowned without raising his head, "What is he doing here?"

"Your Majesty, it seems that someone took his treasure, so I came here to seek justice from Your Majesty!"

"Hehe! So it is like this! Who told him that his family has many treasures! Well, let him come in, I want to see who took the treasures of the Dragon King's family." Jade Emperor joked to Zhang Tianshi Said.

After answering yes, Zhang Tianshi walked out of the hall.

After a while, Zhang Tianshi led the Dragon King of the East China Sea and walked in.

As soon as he came in, the Dragon King of the East China Sea complained to the Jade Emperor, "Jade Emperor! I hope you will be the master of Xiaolong!"

Waving his hand, he signaled the Dragon King of the East China Sea not to make any noise, and the Jade Emperor asked, "Dragon King of the East China Sea, I don't know what you want me to call the shots!"

Hearing the Jade Emperor's question, the Dragon King of the East China Sea immediately poured out his bitterness, and told how fierce Monkey King was and how he "borrowed" treasures.

After the Dragon King of the East China Sea finished speaking, the Jade Emperor said, "Dragon King, you go back first! The Heavenly Court will deal with the monster monkey who stole the treasure!"

"Thank you, Jade Emperor, thank you, Jade Emperor!" The Dragon King of the East China Sea thanked the Jade Emperor after hearing what the Jade Emperor said, and then walked out.

As soon as the Dragon King of the East China Sea left, Ge Tianshi, one of the four celestial masters, came to report again, "Your Majesty, King Yama is asking to see you outside the palace."

"Oh! Why is someone asking to see you again! Let him in!" The Jade Emperor waved his hand and said.

After a while, Ge Tianshi led a person back.

As soon as the visitors saw the Jade Emperor, they saluted and said, "My subordinate King Yama pays homage to the Jade Emperor."

Looking up at King Yama, the Jade Emperor said, "I don't know why King Yama is not guarding the Nine Nethers and came to the Heavenly Palace!"

King Yan Luo cupped his hands to the Jade Emperor and said, "There are monstrous monkeys in the lower realm of the Jade Emperor who trespass into the underworld, kill ghosts, destroy life and death by force, and let the Jade Emperor decide."

"Oh! It's this monstrous monkey again." The Jade Emperor sighed, glanced at the immortal family present and asked, "Is there any immortal family who knows that this monstrous monkey is following him!"

Hearing this, the clairvoyant of the fairy family took a step forward and said to the Jade Emperor, "The monster monkey was transformed from a fairy stone on Huaguo Mountain in the Aolai country of Dongsheng Shenzhou. I don't know what the monster monkey has gained all these years." It was by chance that he cultivated the Immortal Art, which is why there is this matter of life and death in the Dragon Palace of Seizing Treasures."

"Oh! That's how it is! I don't know if there is an immortal family who will go down to get rid of this monster monkey!" Jade Emperor asked the immortal family after learning about Sun Wukong's situation.

Li Jing, Marshal of the Heavenly Court, immediately wanted to show something when he heard the words of the Jade Emperor, but before he came out, another person ran out at a faster speed, "Your Majesty, don't use your troops!"

All the immortal officials in Lingxiao Palace looked at this man who appeared suddenly, wanting to see why he said that.Even the Jade Emperor asked curiously, "Taibai Jinxing, why do you say that?"

It turned out that the person who appeared suddenly was Taibai Jinxing!

After hearing the Jade Emperor's words, the old fairy official stroked his long white beard in a leisurely manner and said, "Your Majesty, that monster monkey is also a spiritual fetus conceived by heaven and earth. Now that he has cultivated immortality, you might as well invite him to come to heaven. Wouldn't it be nice to give him an official position and let him work in Tiangong?"

After thinking for a while, the Jade Emperor agreed with Taibai Jinxing, so he ordered Wen Quxing to write a letter of recruitment and hand it over to Taibai Jinxing to recruit in the lower realm.

One day, Sun Wukong was resting in the Water Curtain Cave, when suddenly an old monkey ran in and shouted, "Congratulations to the King! Congratulations!"

After Sun Wukong heard what the old monkey said, he jumped up from the stone bed and asked, "Where does the joy come from?"

The old monkey bowed to Sun Wukong and said, "My lord, just now a white-haired old man came down from the sky, and he said that he would go to the sky to be an official."

Hearing this, Sun Wukong was overjoyed, and quickly said to the old monkey, "Quick, quick, invite the old fairy in." After finishing speaking, Monkey King quickly stopped him: "Let me go invite myself!" " Then he walked out of the cave.

When he came outside the cave, Sun Wukong saw an old man standing outside the cave looking at him. Without saying a word, Sun Wukong ran over and said to Taibai Jinxing, "Old fairy, you want me to be an official in heaven?"

With a smile on his face, Taibai Jinxing said, "Exactly! I heard in Tiangong that the king is brave and specially recruited the king to be an official!"

"Hahaha, I just want to go to heaven, and I didn't expect someone to recruit me to be an official." Sun Wukong said to the monkeys with a happy face, "Little ones, take care of your home and treat my old grandson to heaven for you." You go to heaven to explore the way, and in the future, I will take you to heaven to enjoy happiness together!"

All the monkeys shouted happily after hearing what Sun Wukong said, and after hearing what Sun Wukong said, Taibaijin hurriedly lifted up his sleeves and wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said to Sun Wukong who was standing beside him, "My lord, let's go quickly, don't let us go!" The Jade Emperor has been waiting for a long time!"

"Okay, okay, okay! Let's go!" After a tumble, he disappeared.Seeing it, Taibai Jinxing hurriedly chased after him.

Zhang Xing is having a good time these days. He has just paid his respects to the clone of his uncle in Tiangong—the Taishang Laojun.I happened to hear someone talking about the life and death of a monster monkey in the Dragon Palace.Hearing this, Zhang Xing was shocked. He didn't expect the matter to have developed to this point.

It just so happened that Zhang Xing heard that Taibai Jinxing had gone to the lower realm to beckon him.Hearing this, Zhang Xing hurriedly flew towards Lingxiao Palace.Because Zhang Xing knew that the next step would be Sun Wukong being named Bi Mawen.

Sure enough, as soon as Zhang Xing arrived outside the Lingxiao Palace, he saw Taibai Jinxing leading a short monkey towards the Lingxiao Palace.

As if sensing something, Monkey King also glanced at Zhang Xing, and walked into the Lingxiao Palace.

The subsequent scene was as described in the book. The Jade Emperor asked Wuqu Xingjun if he had any vacant official positions.

Sun Wukong was very happy after being awarded the title, and he took office after Mu Dexingjun.
