Chapter 844: Pit
Sun Wukong had just repelled the siege of Li Jing's 100,000-strong army, and at this moment he seemed even more vigorous and ambitious.
Not long after returning to the Water Curtain Cave in the Flower-Fruit Mountain, the Demon King of the Seventy-two Caves who had been missing in the fight returned to the Flower-Fruit Mountain again and flattered Sun Wukong.
Sun Wukong didn't care about the behavior of the 72 demon kings who ran away when they encountered trouble.
In Sun Wukong's opinion, none of these guys could fight, so he could fight alone, and they just had to wave flags and cheer.
Amid the flattery of the demon kings and monkeys, Sun Wukong gradually lost himself.
Sun Wukong himself did not really want to rebel against the Heavenly Court.
On the contrary, not only does he not want to rebel against the Heavenly Court, he is also particularly eager to integrate into the Heavenly Court circle.
Otherwise, Taibai Jinxing's several attempts to recruit the amnesty would not have been so smooth.
After all, who can refuse the compilation?
Similarly, the Jade Emperor also sincerely wanted to recruit Sun Wukong to work under him.
The Jade Emperor looked at all the civil and military officials in the court, and found that they were all the original shareholders of the Heavenly Court who were thrown in to live a leisurely life and retire. Not many of them could actually give orders.
Naturally, he liked Sun Wukong, a random immortal who appeared out of nowhere.
The Jade Emperor himself had no intention of recruiting the emperor, so it would be useless no matter how much Taibai Jinxing said.
The position of Bimawen is not small.
The reason why Sun Wukong felt insulted was that at first he was just flattered to the point of losing his way, and later he, Sun Wukong, was known as the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, so he felt that Bimawen was a dark history.
But it is not simple for the monsters and gods who really laugh at Sun Wukong for being the Horse Keeper.
For example, the green ox of Taishang Laojun.
This is just like a gatekeeper in front of the prime minister's door, looking down on the third-rank official of the dynasty, relying on the power of the master.
The organization of heaven is not so easy to obtain.
The Meishan brothers around Erlang Shen Yang Jian have been outsourced employees of the Heavenly Palace for a thousand years, but have never been able to successfully become regular employees and be listed as immortals.
When the Jade Emperor recruited Sun Wukong, he asked his officials, "Where are the vacancies?"
Wu Qu Xingjun replied: "There are many officials in all the palaces, halls and places, but the Imperial Horse Administration lacks a chief steward."
From the analysis here, it can be seen that there will always be people in every palace, hall, place and place, and the Imperial Stables is naturally an institution independent of these systems.
The Imperial Stables is actually the chief executive of a department directly under the Heavenly Court.
In charge of the Imperial Stables!
Control!
The only ones who dared to use the word "御" in heaven were naturally the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother.
The Jade Emperor does not ride horses, but various gods have mounts, so horses are basically not used for riding, but for pulling carts.
In the human world, it means raising horses for the emperor.
Moreover, Sun Wukong was not just a minor official who raised horses, but the one in charge of the main hall.
Those who drive for leaders will become cadres, so who are the ones who specialize in maintaining the cars?
Is it embarrassing to be called a horse groom?
But what kind of job is decent?
The Four Heavenly Kings, guarding the gate.
Li Jing, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, is a thug in heaven.
Yue Lao, the matchmaker in charge of marriages.
The Green Bull Demon looked down on Bimawen, but what was he himself? Was he different from the horse raised by Sun Wukong?
Immortal records are actually very scarce in the Heavenly Palace. There is only one position for each person, and it is not easy for the Jade Emperor to get him one.
When Sun Wukong first ascended to heaven, he was stopped by his soldiers at the South Heaven Gate, one of the Four Heavenly Kings.
Taibai Jinxing told Sun Wukong: "Now that you have seen the Heavenly Lord, you have been granted the immortal talisman and an official title. From now on, you can go in and out as you please. Who can stop you?"
What this means is that once he has met the Jade Emperor, been granted the immortal seal and an official position, no one will stop him.
Later, Sun Wukong rebelled and went down to heaven.
Original text: "The heavenly soldiers knew that he had received the immortal seal and was a horse-keeper, so they dared not to stop him and let him go out of the Heavenly Gate." When Sun Wukong was about to leave the South Heavenly Gate, even the Heavenly King Zhangzhang could not stop him, which shows that the horse-keeper was not a small person.
Bi Ma Wen was responsible for raising horses for the Jade Emperor. The only people who could manage him in the heaven were the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother. No one else had the right to manage him. (In the original novel of Journey to the West, there was no plot in which Wu Qu Xingjun asked him to lead the horses and insulted him. It was simply that his subordinates said that Bi Ma Wen was not up to standard, and then they rebelled.)
Sun Wukong rebelled against heaven, but in fact he was deceived by the officials under him.
These subordinates had probably been eyeing Bimawen's position for a long time, but they didn't expect a leader to suddenly appear.
After spending some time together, he got to know Sun Wukong's temper and personality, so he took advantage of his pride and started to provoke him, and the monkey was fooled in an instant.
Monkey King!
Later he proclaimed himself the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, but in fact his official position was even lower than that of Bi Ma Wen.
The Monkey King looks very majestic and impressive, but he is actually a mere official without any salary.
This was also Taibai Jinxing's idea.
Original words from Journey to the West: "Let him become the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, but only give him an empty title, an official position without salary."
This was the first time that the Jade Emperor had heard of such a bold move, so he asked, "Why is it called 'having an official position but no salary'?"
Bimawen was qualified to participate in the Peach Festival, but unfortunately Sun Wukong ruined it himself.
Eating the peaches can make one immortal, but it seems to be useless to immortals.
In fact, it is very important. The peaches are the greatest reward given by heaven to all gods.
Any cultivator must go through the three disasters, and the method that Sun Wukong practiced was to avoid these three disasters.
Not every god has the same good fortune as Sun Wukong.
So the peaches are what help them resist these three disasters.
Once you have a position, no matter how big or small your official rank is, you are a god and can eat the immortal peaches given by the Jade Emperor.
If you are not recorded in the Immortal Record, no matter how powerful you are, the Jade Emperor will not give you the immortal peaches, and you cannot live a hundred years, and you are a demon.
Although the position of Bimawen was not really of low rank, Sun Wukong's abilities did deserve higher treatment.
Right now,
Sun Wukong has completely given up the idea of becoming an official in heaven.
Because he has drifted away.
It's floating without boundaries.
It's almost like the sky is the boss, the earth is the second, his master is the third, and he himself is the fourth.
It's not his fault that he's arrogant. After all, he made such a big fuss, but the people sent to capture him were so incompetent. How could he not think that the strength of Heaven was just this level?
The Four Heavenly Kings did not accumulate much faith and power after specializing in Shinto. Li Jing's own cultivation was not good, and Nezha stepped in, making him unable to see his opponent for a while and appearing invincible.
in fact,
There were also some powerful masters during the Conferred God Era who became Shintoists after they switched to practicing Shintoism.
For example: the God of Wealth Zhao Gongming.
After the God of Wealth Zhao Gongming lost his immortal cultivation, after traveling thousands of miles, his divine cultivation is no worse than a thousand years ago, and there is even a tendency for it to become even stronger.
Getting rich is the wish of all mortals, so he is naturally the most successful in collecting faith.
but,
The God of Wealth Zhao Gongming’s desire to play the role is even greater than Nezha’s.
Just when Sun Wukong was toasting and fighting with the seventy-two demon kings.
A delicate voice came from outside the Water Curtain Cave: "Sun Wukong, come out and fight."
