Chapter 9: Stealing Beams and Changing Pillars, Hiding from the World!
The Jade Emperor has not been as resolute as he is today for more than five hundred years.
Zhang Daoling, one of the four great heavenly masters in front of the hall, hurriedly received the decree and checked the heavens and stars to see if there were any vacant positions.
After a while, Zhang Tianshi returned to the Lingxiao Hall and said, "Your Majesty, all the important positions in the Heavenly Court have been selected, and only the position of King Guangde of the Nether East China Sea is still lacking. β
King Guangde of the East China Sea? Isn't that just being killed by Jiang Chen with a stick two days ago, and Heavenly Court hasn't had time to appoint a new Dragon King of the East China Sea.
This position is not big or small, but it is not small.
It's just that the Dragon King of the East China Sea is a subordinate of Shuide Xingjun, and Shuide Xingjun, as the righteous god of Shuibu, was beaten away by Gu Tianyi along with the other eight Xingjun in the battle against Jiang Chen.
Not to mention that Jiang Chen doesn't look down on this boss, this boss may not dare to care about this powerful subordinate.
The Jade Emperor pondered for a moment and sighed softly,
"Letting a Taiyi Golden Immortal be the Siyu Dragon God is really overkill."
"It's just that there are no vacancies in all the heavens and stars, and there are no vacancies in the heavenly court, how can this be good?"
At this moment, Tai Bai Xing, who had been silent for a long time, stepped forward and arched his hand: "Your Majesty is the Great Heavenly Venerable of the Three Realms, and he has the right to transfer official positions. Since there are no vacancies in the official positions of various ministries, why not create a new post and let Jiang Chen fill it. It's like sealing that monkey's head as a Monkey King five hundred years ago. β
"Haha, what Venus said is very true, but the monkey head is unrestrained and unruly. Although it is known as the Monkey King, it is a fictitious job in name only. Jiang Aiqing is courageous, knowledgeable, and loyal, so it is good to be a veritable official position. β
"You can express your opinions on this matter."
The Jade Emperor looked down, and his interest was high.
Obviously, he liked Jiang Chen very much.
Tai Bai Xing didn't think about it, and said again: "Your Majesty, Jiang Chen is from the Dragon Clan, and has been the Dragon King of Jinghe for thousands of years, and he knows the water potential of the world well. Today, the highest water ministry is the water master Xingjun, who is in charge of the mountains and rivers of the world. Jiang Chen is a Taiyi Golden Immortal, and since he should be above Shuide Xingjun, it is better to make him a righteous god of the Three Realms Water Department and be in charge of the waters of the Three Realms. β
"Moreover, since he is a great god who has traveled in the Three Realms, he should enjoy the treatment of Heavenly Court Scattered Immortals, what does Your Majesty think?"
As the name suggests, all places where there is water within the Three Realms are under his control.
Up to the Tianhe River, down to the Yellow Spring.
Even if it rains in the world, Wang Ba in the puddle has become a fine, and he has to obey Jiang Chen's pipe.
That's it!
As for the Heavenly Court Scattered Immortals, it is like the three immortals of Fulu Shou, the barefoot immortals, who hold the heavenly court's Yulu, but they don't need to order it every day.
At ease, with a transcendent status.
"Haha, wonderful, wonderful. Jiang Chen Aiqing, what do you think? β
The Jade Emperor laughed.
He hadn't been happier in hundreds of years.
"Minister, thank you for your great grace!"
Everyone likes to see that everyone likes to see it, and Jiang Chen is naturally no exception.
This kind of kindness makes the immortals of the heavenly court very red-eyed, and the one who can be the scattered immortals of the heavenly court, which is not the old Da Luo Jin Immortal powerhouse, the top combat power of the heavenly court. Jiang Chen, a Taiyi Golden Immortal, actually jumped from the small Jinghe Dragon King to the righteous god of the Three Realms Water Department, enjoying the treatment of scattered immortals.
Moreover, everyone didn't know that Jiang Chen's true realm was only in the early stage of the Golden Immortal. It's just that the effect of the Taiyi Golden Immortal experience card hasn't passed yet, so it shows the realm of Taiyi Golden Immortal.
Sure enough, people have to die more than people, and goods have to be thrown away.
The Jade Emperor smiled with satisfaction,
"Okay, the four heavenly masters, immediately confer immortal urns for Jiang Chen Aiqing, note the immortal name, and spread it throughout the Three Realms. And open a cave on the bullfighting palace to serve as a water temple of the Three Realms. β
"Jiang Chen Aiqing, you are also a Heavenly Court Scattered Immortal, I have granted you the four flags of earth, wind, water, and fire, and you can choose a treasure land among the Three Realms as your own dojo."
"Retreat from the dynasty, Jiang Chen Aiqing, Venus, Guanyin, the three of you will stay for a while."
The immortals retreated, and there were only four people left in the huge Lingxiao Treasure Hall.
Since Guanyin Bodhisattva's four major charges were refuted by Jiang Chen one by one, her face was gloomy and she remained silent.
She seemed to see that the Jade Emperor intended to protect Jiang Chen, and Jiang Chen was more difficult than she imagined. If she continues to fight, she will only be the one who suffers.
Things are beyond the limit of her control, it is better to respond to all changes with the same, but it is really not possible, so she will hand over the matter to the Buddha, and the Buddha will negotiate with the Jade Emperor.
"Master Guanyin, there are no outsiders here, you can say anything directly."
The Jade Emperor got straight to the point.
As soon as these words came out, Guanyin Bodhisattva looked solemn, put his hands together and said: "Amitabha, Your Majesty should know that what the poor monk did this time was not aimed at the Dragon King of Jinghe, but to promote the great cause of Journey to the West. The heavenly machine has long been destined, and the Dragon King of Jinghe is the key to the journey to the west. β
"Before the Dragon King of Jinghe went up to the dragon platform, he begged Li Shimin, the king of Tang, to ask Wei for intercession and avoid death. And Wei Zhengmeng beheaded the Dragon King of Jinghe, and the Dragon King of Jinghe turned into a dragon ghost and dragged Li Shimin into the underworld in the name of King Tang's words and untrustworthy, and confronted him in front of the Ten Palaces of Yama. Li Shimin saw the tragic situation in the underworld, so he held a water and land conference, and the poor monks wanted to take advantage of the fate of the people who learned from the scriptures at the water and land conference and started their journey to the west. β
"However, His Majesty's move to protect the Dragon King of Jinghe River has made Heavenly Court have one more talent, but it has also completely disrupted the great cause of Journey to the West. If the journey to the west fails, not only will my Buddhism be displeased, but even the saints who decided this matter will be angry. When the time comes, I am afraid that even Your Majesty will be unable to bear the responsibility for this crime. β
Guanyin Bodhisattva's words, although they have a threatening flavor, tell the truth.
It is precisely because of the shadow of the saint behind the Journey to the West that the Jade Emperor tolerated Western Buddhism everywhere.
The Jade Emperor knew the inside story very well, and let Guanyin Bodhisattva stay this time, just to discuss one or two and make a compromise. It can not only protect Jiang Chen, but also allow the journey to the west to continue.
However, he knew in his heart that it was difficult to change the heavenly machine set by the Heavenly Dao.
This is undoubtedly an adventure, a game.
At this moment, in Jiang Chen's mind, a mechanical electronic sound sounded:
γDing Dong!γ Detect that the host's forces are facing a huge problem, and open the choice! γ
[Option 1: When the sky falls, there is the boss on top, and it matters to me (ignore it, leave everything to the Jade Emperor). Reward: 100,000 years of cultivation, the acquired spirit treasure: Bagua Dragon must be afraid (there is a treasure of Kanli Zhendu, an all-encompassing treasure, and you can summon a yellow turban wrestler)]
[Option 2: The boss is sad for me, how can I stand by and watch (help complete the plot of 'Jinghe Dragon Ghost' while ensuring my own safety.] Reward: One million years of cultivation, Heavenly Treasure Fragment: Pangu Axe (Axe Handle)]
"I'll pick two!"
Jiang Chen said secretly in his heart.
"I don't care about the fragments of the million-year cultivation and the Heavenly Dao Strange Treasure Pangu Axe, but the righteous heart in my heart, and I will never be allowed to stand idly by."
Well, that's it!
[Ding Dong, due to the host's choice of a difficult plot, get a system prompt.] Hint: Steal beams and change pillars, hide from the sky and cross the sea]
When Jiang Chen heard this, he couldn't help but nod secretly.
I see.
At this moment, between everyone's discussions, Jiang Chen suddenly said: "Your Majesty, Bodhisattva, I have a way to save my life and start the journey to the west smoothly." β
"What's the solution?"
Guanyin Bodhisattva and the Jade Emperor said in unison.
Jiang Chen cleared his throat and said unhurriedly: "The three-legged toad is not easy to find, and the four-clawed dragon is still dissatisfied. If Western Buddhism is merciful and does not want to kill again, it is better to attribute the sins to me and use the soul of Ao Guang that I killed to go to the underworld to avenge the grievances. β
"As long as the Tang King can be dragged into the underworld and see all kinds of misery in hell, after returning to the soul, it is bound to convene a water and land conference to surpass the undead. At that time, the Bodhisattva will be able to smoothly start the great cause of traveling to the west and learn from the scriptures. β
As soon as these words came out, the Jade Emperor's eyes lit up.
However, Guanyin Bodhisattva looked solemn,
"Let's not talk about whether this method is feasible, Wei Zheng's mission has not yet been completed, and you destroyed the Yuan Shen. Without Wei Zheng, who else around Li Shimin could ask Cui Jue, the magistrate of the prefectural government, to escort him? Without Cui Jue's protection, how could Li Shimin survive being blocked by unjust ghosts? β
These are all interlocking things under the setting of the Heavenly Dao.
And Jiang Chen's counterattack against Wei Zheng at the beginning caused the damn to not die, but the unworthy one was destroyed by the Yuan Shen and died.
Hearing this, Jiang Chen shrugged his shoulders and continued:
"Since this matter started because of me, then I will be responsible for the end. It is simple to protect Li Shimin from traveling all over the underworld and help him add twenty years of longevity to his soul. β
Jiang Chen patted his chest, looking like he was in his chest.
Guanyin Bodhisattva is still hesitating, she has experienced the existence of the god tribulation, and she knows that in the calamity, every move, even a thought, can involve cause and effect.
However, Jiang Chen's method is obviously against the heavens, and it may bring many changes to the next journey to the west.
It's just that there seems to be no other way than that.
Even if Jiang Chen is beheaded now and turned into a Jinghe dragon ghost to harass Li Shimin, without Wei Zheng, it will no longer be what he expected after all.
"Well, just do what you say."
"However, after all, you are a dead person destined by the Heavenly Dao, and after completing this matter, you must not interfere in the great cause of Journey to the West. Otherwise, don't blame the poor monk for being unkind to you! β
As he spoke, Guanyin Bodhisattva's eyes flashed with a hideous killing intent.
Now her appearance is completely different from the rumored savior of great mercy and compassion.
After saying this, she shook her sleeves and left angrily.
At this moment, there were only three people left in the Lingxiao Treasure Hall.
The Jade Emperor looked at Jiang Chen, the more he looked at it, the more pleasing it became,
"Aiqing is going this time, how sure are you?"
As soon as he was named the righteous god of the Three Realms Water Department, he helped himself resolve such a big difficulty.
O loyal servants!
"If you can get Your Majesty's help, the minister should be 100% sure." Jiang Chen said.
"What does Aiqing need me to do?" The Jade Emperor asked.
Jiang Chen smiled calmly and said, "Ao Guang, the Dragon King of the East China Sea, died at my hands, and now he has gone down to the Netherworld, contaminated with the turbidity of hell, and his resentment has increased, so he will definitely not want to listen to my words." Your Majesty may send a messenger to persuade him to cooperate with me, and when this is done, promise him some good. β
"That's all?" Jade Emperor Road.
"That's all." Jiang Chen said with a smile.
The Jade Emperor laughed when he heard this,
"Hahaha, okay, then I'll wait for your good news."
