Chapter 2343 Getting Into Trouble
Nezha was injured and retreated. Li Jing saw that his most capable son was injured, so he quickly ordered the troops to withdraw and return to the Heavenly Palace to report to the Jade Emperor.
Sun Wukong returned victoriously, and the seventy-two cave demon kings of Huaguo Mountain and the six brothers he made friends with outside all came to congratulate him.
A banquet was held in the Water Curtain Cave, and everyone drank and had fun together.
"Brother, you defeated the giant spirit and repelled the third prince. It's really amazing!" The Bull Demon King laughed, "The Jade Emperor didn't know what was good, and let you be a horse keeper. It's time to teach you a lesson!"
"That's right!" The other demon kings also smiled and responded.
Sun Wukong held the wine glass and squatted on the armrest of his throne: "Brothers, since I call myself the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, you can do it too!"
When the Bull Demon King heard this, he shouted loudly: "Brother, what you said makes sense! Since you are the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, I will be called the Great Sage Leveling Heaven!"
"My name is the Great Sage Covering the Sea!" The Dragon Demon King shouted immediately.
The Peng Demon King thought for a moment and said, "My name is the Great Sage of Mixing Heaven!"
The Lion King said, "My name is the Great Sage of Moving Mountains!"
The Monkey King called himself the Great Sage of Ventilation, and the Yurong King called himself the Great Sage of Exorcism. The Water Curtain Cave was very lively.
However, Li Jing led his troops back to the Heavenly Palace and reported to the Jade Emperor that the monkey defeated the Giant Spirit God and injured his son. He set up a flag on the mountain and called himself the Great Sage Equaling Heaven. If he was given this official position, it would be fine. Otherwise, he would directly attack the Lingxiao Palace.
The Jade Emperor knew what was going on, but he pretended to be furious, looked around the generals in the Heavenly Palace, and asked who could go down to the world to kill the demon monkey.
At this time, Taibai Jinxing came out and said, "Your Majesty, that demon monkey only said that he wanted to be named the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, but he didn't say whether this position was big or small. Instead of mobilizing troops to fight him, why not issue an imperial decree to recruit him and give him the title of the Great Sage Equaling Heaven. Just let him have a title without substance, an official position without salary!"
"What do you mean by an official position without salary?" asked the Jade Emperor.
"Your Majesty, give him the title of the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, but don't let him manage anything, and don't give him a salary, just keep him in the heaven, and take away his evil heart, so that he will gradually stop being arrogant. Then the world will be stable and there will be no disasters."
"As you said!" The Jade Emperor immediately issued an imperial decree, asking Taibai Jinxing to go down to the mortal world to recruit Sun Wukong again.
When Sun Wukong heard that the Jade Emperor had named him the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, he was very excited. He immediately arranged for four strong men to take care of Huaguo Mountain and followed Taibai Jinxing to ascend to heaven again.
He was just a monkey that jumped out of a stone, how could he understand what an official position was? He thought that being named the Great Sage Equaling Heaven was a great honor, but it turned out to be an idle position with no power at all. He also didn't know what rank this Great Sage Equaling Heaven was and how much salary he had. After he got the title, he was very happy. He ate and slept every day, doing nothing, wandering around everywhere, calling every immortal he met a brother, going here today and there tomorrow, and his whereabouts were uncertain.
Some immortals couldn't stand it, so they came out to the Jade Emperor during the morning court to suggest that he find something for him to do so as not to affect other people's work.
The Jade Emperor approved the request and let Sun Wukong manage the Peach Garden.
Sun Wukong thought he was promoted, and he was very happy, and he went to the Peach Garden happily.
After a while, the Queen Mother held a Peach Banquet and asked the Seven Fairies to pick peaches.
With the help of the land of the Peach Garden, he found Sun Wukong and asked him for instructions.
Sun Wukong heard that there was a Peach Banquet and all the gods and fairies in the Heavenly Palace were invited, so he asked, "Have I been invited?"
The Seven Fairies replied, "I have never heard of it."
Sun Wukong was unhappy: "I am the Great Sage Equaling Heaven,
How come I am not invited to the Peach Banquet?"
"This was the rule of the last Peach Banquet, I don't know about this time!" The Seven Fairies hurriedly replied.
"That's right, I don't blame you!" Sun Wukong rolled his eyes and waved his hands, "Go, go! I will ask myself."
When the Seven Fairies turned around and prepared to pick peaches, he used a fixed body spell to stop them, and flew out of the Peach Garden with a somersault and headed towards the Yaochi.
On the way, he tricked the barefoot immortal away and transformed himself into his appearance to come to the Yaochi. At this moment, the banquet had not yet started, and only some fairy children and fairy officials were preparing.
The nectar and delicious food made his mouth water, and he plucked out his hair to turn into a few sleepy bugs, hypnotized the fairy officials and fairy children, and ate heartily.
Later, he found that he had messed up the banquet, and thought that it was not good. When the guests came and saw this situation, they would definitely blame him. It would be better to run away quickly and go back to the mansion to rest.
Because he drank too much, he stumbled all the way and accidentally broke into the Tushita Palace.
Taishang Laojun and the ancient Buddha of Burning Lamp were giving lectures on the third floor. All the immortal children, immortal officials, heavenly generals, and divine soldiers in the Tushita Palace went to listen to the lectures. At this moment, the alchemy room was empty.
Sun Wukong entered the alchemy room and saw Taishang Laojun’s five treasure gourds, which were all filled with refined golden elixirs. He was very excited. He wanted to eat a few to try them out, but he didn’t control his mouth and ate them all in one breath.
The effect of the elixir sobered him up and he immediately realized that something was wrong. He knew that he had made a big mistake. If the Jade Emperor knew about it, his life would be in danger. He immediately escaped from the heaven and thought that he would return to Huaguo Mountain to be the king!
Sun Wukong was gone for hundreds of years. After all, one day in heaven is one year on earth.
During this period, Huaguo Mountain was idle, so Jia Zhengjin asked Tathagata to create a clone out of stone to guard Huaguo Mountain, while he returned to the land of Peach Blossom Spring, building the city every day and teaching Long Caizhu to practice. Time passed quickly.
Within a hundred years, Peach Blossom Spring became a magnificent city, with ancient-style houses and high-rise buildings built by Jia Zhengjin brick by brick within a radius of a hundred miles, surrounded by forests, which was particularly beautiful.
However, the houses in the city were all empty, and no one else lived there.
On that day, he was planning a new moat when he suddenly received a message from Tathagata, saying that the next stage of the plan had arrived and asked him to return to Huaguo Mountain as soon as possible.
Jia Zhengjin immediately summoned Nuwa and asked her to manage the new city and supervise the cultivation of Long Caizhu. He was directly teleported back to Huaguo Mountain and waited again as General Ba.
Not long after, Sun Wukong really returned to the mountain. The four strong men and the seventy-two cave demon kings brought little demons all over the mountain to greet him.
Talking about the affairs of the Heavenly Palace and talking about the disaster he had caused, Sun Wukong was not afraid. Instead, he said to everyone: "There are countless nectars in the Yaochi, and you have never tasted them. Anyway, the disaster has been caused, so why don't I go again and steal more for you to taste!
All the monsters under his command were overjoyed and watched Sun Wukong fly to the Heavenly Palace again.
Are you almost ready to take action this time? When Sun Wukong flew up to the sky, Jia Zhengjin turned his head and secretly glanced at Tathagata, asking with his eyes.
Tathagata nodded slightly, meaning Everything is going according to plan. After this fight, he will transform into his true form and suppress Sun Wukong under the Five Fingers Mountain, and plan the journey to the West 500 years later. But before that, he must continue to hide and must not reveal his identity.
Jia Zhengjin responded with his eyes, and he was already prepared.
This time, he will personally participate in the havoc in the Heavenly Palace as General Ba. Although he will not follow Sun Wukong to fight in the Heavenly Palace, he has to fight against 100,000 heavenly soldiers, and he cannot reveal his identity. He can only fight with the strength of General Ba, which is still a bit challenging.
