Chapter 69 Uncle, I beg you
Taibai Jinxing knew that they had suffered a loss from the monkey, and laughed in his heart, but said coldly: "Four Sea Dragon Kings, you are so bold that you actually want to rebel with Bull Demon King!"
"No, no, no, we are innocent." The Dragon King of the West Sea shook his hand and said, "Please ask the Golden Immortal to report to the Jade Emperor. We dare not rebel."
The Dragon King of the East Sea remained calm.
Still rebelling?
What can the dragon clan use to rebel?
The dragon clan can't afford to offend either the Heavenly Palace or Buddhism.
How could the Jade Emperor not know?
Taibai Jinxing flicked his whisk and said coldly, "No need to argue, just listen to my orders."
Void.
The Dragon King of the North Sea sighed with regret.
"We have to pay an extra 3,000 jade corals, 5,000 black tortoise shells, and 8,000 night-shining pearls every year. The Jade Emperor wants to force us to death..."
Every year, the Dragon Palace has to pay a fixed quota to the Heavenly Palace for various treasures produced in the Dragon Palace.
In previous years, the set number had already put Dragon Palace in a difficult position.
But the Jade Emperor took advantage of Sun Wukong's complaint to punish them again.
The Dragon King of the West Sea said angrily, "It's all that monkey's fault! He actually went to the Jade Emperor to complain. He is simply unkind."
The Dragon King of the South China Sea was silent for a long time, then sighed and said, "We can only kill more shrimp soldiers.
Only by using their bodies as fertilizer can we grow so many jade corals, night-shining pearls, and black turtles...
We, the dragon clan, have no ability to rebel.
The Jade Emperor just wants to take this opportunity to control the number of our aquatic creatures."
The Dragon King of the West Sea still looked angry: "It's all that damn monkey's fault. If it weren't for him, there wouldn't be so many problems. What do you think, brother?"
"Uh-huh."
The Dragon King of the East Sea dealt with it casually, but his thoughts were racing.
Guanyin asked them to give the monkey the Ruyi Jingu Bang, and then promised the dragon clan many benefits.
But why?
Why must you give that wild monkey a treasure?
"There's something going on here..." The Dragon King of the East China Sea couldn't help but mutter.
Although he is the Dragon King, he commands all the aquatic creatures.
However, it was more than 400 years later that Buddhism spread to the East.
He didn't know. Naturally, the powerful people from all sides wouldn't tell him.
All he knew was that by giving the stick to the monkey, the dragon clan could gain some benefits.
Just like the havoc in heaven in the future.
The Jade Emperor knew that he had to use the monkey’s merits in repairing the sky to kill some of the heavenly soldiers and generals and let the destiny of heaven return to the right path.
However, the heavenly soldiers and generals felt that the monkey was extremely evil and that this was a just war.
After all, in the calculations of the powerful on all sides, small characters like the dragon clan.
Not qualified to know the true secrets of heaven.
The Dragon King of the West Sea said, "Brother, what's going on in there?"
"I can't figure it out for a while, but the matter is settled, and the Ruyi Jingu Bang has been given away. Of course, the price we have to pay is a bit tragic..."
The Dragon Kings of the north and south have been silently calculating.
How many shrimps and crabs are killed every year to feed so many jade corals, black turtles and night pearls.
The Dragon King of the East China Sea continued, "But you must remember one thing. That monkey is definitely not just a little demon. When you see him in the future, you must treat him with courtesy."
"Why? Isn't he just a hairy monkey?" said the Dragon King of the West Sea.
The Dragon King of the East Sea turned his head solemnly and said sternly: "You must remember this, otherwise you will get into great trouble. As for why, you will know in the future."
……
East China Sea.
Enter the East China Sea.
The Dragon King of the East Sea asked and found out that Sun Wukong really did not throw the golden cudgel back.
When big shots do things, they always have their own set of principles.
In fact, it's all an exchange of interests.
The Jade Emperor asked them to control the number of aquatic creatures and kill the shrimp soldiers and crab generals.
Of course there can be a price tag.
The price?
Sun Wukong was rewarded for his report, so the Ruyi Jingu Bang and the armor were given to him directly.
The dragon clan completed the task of delivering weapons and gained benefits from Buddhism.
The Jade Emperor also took this opportunity to control the number of aquatic creatures, and everyone had a bright future.
