Westward Journey into Dragon

Chapter 245
With the banners fluttering and the trumpets sounding, there are more than [-] heavenly soldiers with shining armor, flashing swords and guns standing in front of Lingxiao Palace.

Although the Bull Demon King dispatched [-] elite soldiers to guard the West Heaven Gate to ensure that there is no way out, and did not allow two miscellaneous monsters to stand guard in ten steps, but there are still about [-] monsters who came to the Lingxiao Palace, and most of them are elites. , can easily crush the [-] heavenly soldiers in front of him, but to Chen Xian's surprise, after the Bull Demon King arrived here, he did not move. He couldn't help asking: "What's the situation now?"

"As I said before, we are not here to seize the Heavenly Palace. It is not appropriate to slaughter too many heavenly soldiers. Let's just surround the Lingxiao Palace. The Jade Emperor will go to court in a few hours. What he thinks will soon be known. It's time to decide what to do next, hold your breath!" said the Bull Demon King.

While speaking, he saw a passage more than a foot wide in the middle of the densely packed phalanx of heavenly soldiers on the opposite side, and an old man with a kind smile on his face walked through it and went straight to the front of the demon soldier camp.

"Who is this old man? His smile is very kind, and he is very courageous. He dared to come to the enemy's camp alone. He is really a character!" In order not to affect the appearance of the army, Chen Xian asked by sound transmission. .

"This old man is Taibai Jinxing Li Changgeng. You can regard him as a good man even though he smiles benignly. He has a dark heart. There are countless creatures who died under his Taibai sword. He is a tiger with a full smile!" The macaque king transmitted his voice replied.

"He is Taibai Jinxing? He is so convincing. No wonder he can be tricked into heaven for the second time after tricking a monkey into the sky for the first time to become Bi Mawen. Could it be that the Jade Emperor intends to recruit him here?" ?" After hearing that the old man was Taibai Jinxing, Chen Xian couldn't help thinking.

Because Li Changgeng was still four or five miles away, and because he couldn't speak his lips well, Chen Xian didn't know what he said to the little demon in front of the battle, but he didn't care either, as a demon would come to inform him.

The little demons in the battle spread to the depths of the army layer by layer, saying: "Report to the Great King, the Four Kings, the Five Kings, and the Eight Great Kings. An old man came before the battle. He called himself Li Changgeng, and said he was a messenger sent by the Jade Emperor. I have something to discuss with the kings."

"Get out of the way and let him in!" The Bull Demon King said, and immediately the order was passed down layer by layer, and a three-foot road was immediately dodged in the middle of the monster camp.

Chen Xian raised his eyes and saw that Li Changgeng was all dressed up, he was full of energy, he lifted his skirt, walking towards several people step by step in a regular manner.

"Li Changgeng has seen the four great kings!" Li Changgeng shook his sleeves and saluted.

"Venus is polite!" Bull Demon King returned a salute.

As for the lion and camel king, the macaque king, and Chen Xiande's subordinates, they just raised their hands and bowed without saying a word.

"Jin Xing, I wonder what the Jade Emperor sent you to say?" Bull Demon King asked with a smile on his face.

"After all, the Heavenly Court is the orthodox of the Three Realms. The four demon kings led troops to the upper realm, which is tantamount to rebellion. The Great Tianzun is kind, and he does not want to see too many casualties. He sent the old man to ask for safety. I hope that the demon kings can lead their subordinates back to the lower realm. .” Li Changgeng laughed.

"It's easy to say, easy to say, what kind of official position does the Jade Emperor allow me to wait for?" Bull Demon King asked.

"If all the demon kings retreat, the Great Heavenly Venerable will not despise rewards, and would like to add the title of Heavenly King." Li Changgeng bowed.

In the Heavenly Court, except for the respected status of the Sanqing, who would go out to greet the Jade Emperor when they saw him, and be called the Taoist ancestor, under the Jade Emperor, the title of the Four Emperors is the highest (Tianding), and under the Four Emperors, it is the Donghua Emperor. Emperor Zhenwu waits for a group of emperors, and under the emperor is the king of heaven.Under the Heavenly King are the marshals or the commanders of the eight ministries, and under the marshals are the generals (the officials of the eight ministries). Under the generals, there are governors, and under the governors, there are commanders. The uninfluential heavenly soldiers and Bi Mawen and others, and then there are warriors, court ladies and other miscellaneous servants (there are few civil servants, so I won't list them).

From this point of view, the status of the Heavenly King in the Heavenly Court is already very high, even higher than the official title bestowed by Zhu Bajie when he ascended to heaven, who is a self-proclaimed Daluo Immortal, but can't even beat the Taiyi Golden Immortal.If, as Li Changgeng said, the Jade Emperor did not despise rewards, he would be the title of Heavenly King. Although he must have an official but no job like the Monkey King, would not assign subordinates, and would not be eligible to participate in court meetings, but Is a senior official.

"Golden belt for killing people and setting fire, repairing bridges and repairing roads without corpses", the ancients did not deceive me! Sure enough, in ancient times, if you didn't have a strong background and wanted to be an official, and if formal channels such as imperial examinations were not feasible, you would kill people and set fires and be recruited!" After listening to Taibai Jinxing's words, Chen Xian secretly thought in his heart.

"Although the title of Heavenly King is honorable, it is not enough. Lao Jinxing went back and told the Jade Emperor to tell him not to be stingy, the title is just a false title, it must be the title of Emperor, otherwise we will not retreat!" The title of Heavenly King is actually very high , but the Bull Demon King was unmoved, and made progress without getting an inch.

"Every official position is given from humble to respectful. It would be better if the four demon kings were given the post of heavenly king first, and after they have made meritorious service, they will be crowned emperors again." Li Changgeng laughed.

"My old cow is impatient, so I can't wait for a long time. Jin Xing should go and talk to the Jade Emperor, first confer the emperor, and then make meritorious deeds for him later." The Bull Demon King said in no hurry.

"The Niu Wang is asking this old man a difficult problem..." Taibai Jinxing twisted his beard and pondered.

"Anyway, it's an empty title, with no real name and no salary. Giving it to the emperor will not lose the Jade Emperor's meat, so you can go and talk to him again." The lion and camel king also stood up to help.

"That's right! You just go and tell the Jade Emperor that it's up to him whether to allow it or not. Don't worry about the Jade Emperor here." The macaque king also said, in fact, he wanted to say that the emperor is not in a hurry and the eunuchs are in a hurry Yes, just thinking about it and holding back.

"Okay, the old man will go report to the Jade Emperor!" Li Changgeng bowed and then retreated.

"Could it be that we are making trouble in the Heavenly Palace to ask the Jade Emperor to call for peace?" After Li Changgeng walked away, Chen Xian asked the Bull Demon King.

"Well, after all, the Heavenly Court is orthodox, and it has a great reputation. If we take his position, we don't have to worry about the Buddhist army coming to fight. Moreover, if the way of the world changes, and there is fear of another catastrophe in the future, it's hard to say what will happen. Multiple identities and multiple retreats." The Bull Demon King said with a heavy face.

"Oh!" Chen Xian nodded, and finally understood the intention of this trouble in the Heavenly Palace. It turned out that he wanted to turn a bandit into an official, and a demon into a fairy. Killed, but with official status, if Tianting and Lingshan want to move them again, they must learn from famous teachers.

"Since that's the case, why didn't the eldest brother just accept the recruitment directly? If the Jade Emperor is reluctant to be named emperor, wouldn't all previous efforts be wasted?" Chen Xian asked.

"This time, I managed to take advantage of the emptiness of the heaven to come up and bring a bunch of little monsters up to protect us. We don't have to be afraid of the Jade Emperor, let's fight with him! Although the Heavenly King is tall, he is still a courtier. Seeing the Jade Emperor is still a shame. If you want to salute, the emperor is different, you can sit on an equal footing with the Jade Emperor and the four emperors, and be called friends of Taoism. Although we have been recruited, we are not serving the Jade Emperor, not in name either!" Bull Demon King said domineeringly.

Well, this is the gap between the big demon king and the little monster. The little monster trembled when he heard the heavenly soldiers attacking, but the big demon king was not only not afraid, but also dared to fight to the sky. Sun Houzi asked the Jade Emperor to abdicate and let him go. Current affairs, bringing countless souls to threaten the Jade Emperor to become the emperor, and to sit on an equal footing with him.

"It seems that I should adjust my mentality. To be a great monster, you should be fearless and fearless. It's not what a monster does!" Chen Xian thought of this, and felt that his mind and soul were unprecedentedly clear, which was actually his state of mind. Great improvement.
