Chapter 27: Complaint to the Emperor
Seeing that he did not take him seriously, the Heavenly King of Growth also said anxiously:
"Why are you shouting? Do you think you can see the Jade Emperor whenever you want? I am the great Heavenly King, but it is extremely difficult for me to see the Jade Emperor. Who do you think you are?"
As he said that, he waved his hand and said, "Come here, kick them out.
You are such an ignorant person, a little demon from the lower world, you actually want to see the Jade Emperor, get out of here right now."
Eight heavenly soldiers immediately surrounded them.
"Let's go."
"Leave quickly."
"Don't you even look at where this place is?"
One of them said, "Boy, I have been working for hundreds of thousands of years and have never seen the Jade Emperor. Let's go now."
suddenly.
Rumble…
The South Gate of Heaven is wide open.
An old man with white hair and beard walked out, holding a whisk in his hand.
The Heavenly King Zhangzhang hurried forward and bowed, saying, "Greetings to the Venusian Immortal."
"Ah."
Taibai Jinxing nodded calmly, without even looking at him, but smiled at Sun Wukong and said, "You are the Monkey King of Huaguo Mountain, Sun Wukong?"
"That's right. I have seen the Immortal."
"Poor... poor monk?" Taibai Jinxing was dumbfounded. What the hell? Poor monk?
Just now he was in the main hall, drinking tea and chatting with the Jade Emperor, when he suddenly heard a loud shouting from outside.
I didn't want to pay any attention to it, but when I heard the voice, it turned out to be Sun Wukong.
The Jade Emperor suddenly became interested and wanted to see the monkey who was about to travel west.
So he was sent to lead them forward.
"Come on, follow me."
"Thank you, Immortal."
Sun Wukong bowed eleven times, grabbed Judge Cui and left.
Judge Cui was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground and allowed him to be dragged.
……
After a while.
The three entered the hall.
Sun Wukong looked up and was surprised to see that the Jade Emperor's appearance was truly majestic.
Three long tufts of beard hanging down to the chest.
A pair of big eyes, also very deep.
What an actor!
Sun Wukong couldn't help but admire in his heart the awesome Jade Emperor, who had the cultivation level of a quasi-saint.
How did he perform it?
Why don’t you go to the West to invite the Buddha?
Just give Sun Wukong a random slap and he'll be done with it.
"Why don't you pay homage to the Jade Emperor?"
Taibai Jinxing reminded.
Sun Wukong hurriedly clasped his hands together and bowed: "I am Sun Wukong, the poor monk, and I pay my respects to the Jade Emperor."
"What... poor monk?"
The Jade Emperor's hand trembled, and the tea splashed everywhere. He shook his hand and looked at Taibai Jinxing.
The old man looked speechless and nodded.
What the hell? Poor monk. The Jade Emperor was a little confused. Is this monkey crazy?
"Ahem, tell me, what's the matter?"
Sun Wukong quickly recounted his experiences in the underworld.
Finally, he said: "Your Highness, Jade Emperor, last night I was chanting in the prison cell when I heard a fire in the underworld that also burned the Book of Life and Death.
But this morning they let me go.
I thought that they wanted to pin the blame of burning the Book of Life and Death on me.
The Jade Emperor is extremely powerful, and he only needs to deduce a little to know the cause and effect of last night."
"Ah."
The Jade Emperor nodded slightly, and calculated for a moment with his big hand hidden in his sleeve. As expected...
Last night, a kid set fire to the warehouse.
Then, King Yama directly sent him to the animal realm.
Here comes a dead person without evidence...
The spiritual energy in the underworld is thin, but it is jointly managed by Buddhism and Taoism.
Thinking of this, the Jade Emperor suddenly lost interest and said, "Go, go."
"Well, the Jade Emperor is the ruler of heaven and earth, he will definitely not lie to a monk like me."
The Jade Emperor was too lazy to scold him anymore. He pointed at the judge and said, "Go to the underworld and receive your punishment."
"Yes"
"Yes, I will obey your orders."
The judge responded tremblingly, secretly groaning in his heart.
This time when he returns, there will definitely be some trouble waiting for him in the underworld.
Seeing this, Sun Wukong raised a barely perceptible smile and thought to himself:
"It seems that the affairs of the underworld are more complicated than imagined."
He pretended to be innocent and bowed to the Jade Emperor: "Thank you, Jade Emperor, for your insight. I will take my leave now."
The Jade Emperor waved his hand.
Taibai Jinxing secretly shook his head, feeling both admiration and helplessness for Sun Wukong's wit and cunning.
As Sun Wukong turned and left, the hall returned to its former tranquility.
The Jade Emperor took a sip of tea, his eyes deep, as if he was thinking about something.
Seeing this, Taibai Jinxing asked softly, "Your Majesty, do you need me to go investigate the matter in the underworld?"
The Jade Emperor pondered for a moment and said slowly:
"No need for that. Things in the underworld have their own destiny. But this Sun Wukong is becoming more and more interesting. You should keep an eye on his movements. If there is anything unusual, report it immediately."
"Yes, I obey my orders."
Taibai Jinxing bowed in response, secretly trying to figure out what the Jade Emperor meant by that.
I began to become curious about Sun Wukong.
……
Hell.
The room was filled with the aroma of wine, and the table was covered with fresh fruits.
"King of the Wheel, you and I brothers should drink a big glass together." said King Yama.
King Chu Jiang said: "Hey, let's drink together, let's drink together."
After settling the bad debt, the Ten Kings of Hell were in a good mood. They set out wine and meat and drank heartily.
"Everyone, let's drink together, drink together, hahahaha..."
King Qin Guang's eyes were blurry, he raised his wine glass and said: "My fellow brothers, if you ask me, it has to be Ksitigarbha. Once he made a move, there was no way a little monkey could escape."
"Hahaha, he's just a monkey, what does he know?"
"At this moment, he probably doesn't know that he is taking the blame for us, hahahaha..."
"Brothers, those who can benefit recently, like those who borrowed life, as long as they pay tribute to us, we will do it for them. Anyway, there is a monkey to take the blame."
"Good good."
"Come on! Fill it up!"
Half an hour later.
The ten kings of hell slumped drunkenly on their chairs, their eyes blurry with drunkenness but smiles on their lips.
King Taishan smacked his lips twice: "Good wine, um, good wine..."
suddenly.
"Oh no, it's bad, it's bad, it's bad!!!"
Judge Cui's voice came from afar.
Not long after, he rushed into the room and saw that all the ten kings of hell were asleep. He hurried forward and shook King Yama: "Oh no, wake up, wake up."
"Cui Pan, what's the matter? Hiccup..."
King Yama raised his neck and let out a long burp.
Judge Cui instinctively covered his nose and said, "Oh no! Something has happened. You guys should think of a solution quickly."
"Hahahaha... All the bad debts have been settled. What else is there? Tell me."
Judge Cui said: "The monkey went to the Heavenly Palace to file a complaint. We are in trouble."
