$ Chapter 390 Erlang Shen of Guanjiangkou
After a while, Mu Zha rode his auspicious cloud back to the heaven.
When Mu Zha arrived outside the Lingxiao Palace, the gatekeeper pulled him into the palace before he could report.
"Report to the Jade Emperor, Master, the 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals led by the King of Delay Li Jing failed to capture Sun Wukong."
"When I came back, I was tasked with asking the Jade Emperor for help to deal with Sun Wukong. The strength of the demon monkey is too strong, and no one can defeat him."
As soon as Mu Zha entered the Lingxiao Palace, he told the Jade Emperor and Guanyin Bodhisattva the news he brought without hesitation.
"This demon monkey is so powerful that the 100,000 heavenly soldiers led by Li Jing, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, can't do anything to him. Is there anyone willing to go to the room to subdue the demon monkey?"
After hearing Mu Zha's newspaper, the Jade Emperor felt angry and amused, and finally began to have a headache about who to let subdue the demon monkey. He really didn't have any good candidates.
"Please be at ease, Your Majesty. I have someone I can recommend to deal with the demon monkey in the Water Curtain Cave in the Flower and Fruit Mountain."
At this time, Guanyin Bodhisattva in the South China Sea saw the difficulty of the Jade Emperor and said to him.
"Oh, I wonder who you want to recommend?"
The Jade Emperor came immediately and began to ask Guanyin Bodhisattva who he wanted to recommend.
"You know this person. He is your nephew, Erlang Shen, the True Lord of Guanjiangkou. He is enjoying the incense there now. He once killed six monsters by himself and has great magical powers."
"But he only obeys orders. Jade Emperor, you can issue a troop dispatch order to him and ask him to deal with the demon monkey in Huaguo Mountain. If he takes action, he may be able to capture the demon monkey."
Then, Guanyin Bodhisattva said the candidate he wanted to recommend.
"I will listen to you. I will issue a troop dispatch order to him now."
After listening to Guanyin Bodhisattva's words, the Jade Emperor quickly wrote a dispatch order and gave it to a messenger, asking him to go to Guanjiangkou and give it to Erlang Shen.
After receiving the decree from the Jade Emperor, the messenger quickly summoned auspicious clouds and quickly rushed to the location of Guanjiangkou. About half an hour later, he arrived at Erlang Shen's temple.
"True Lord, there is an envoy from Heaven with the Jade Emperor's order outside the gate."
When the gatekeeper of Erlang Shen's temple saw the messenger from a distance, he said to Erlang Shen inside.
Erlang Shen, the True Lord of Manifestation, hurried out of the door and took the Jade Emperor's order from the messenger.
"Sun Wukong, the Great Sage Equaling Heaven in the Water Curtain Cave of Huaguo Mountain, has been causing chaos in Heaven and disrupting the Peach Festival and stealing elixirs. Now, Li Jing, the Heavenly King of the Pagoda, has been sent to lead 100,000 heavenly soldiers to capture him. Eighteen heavenly nets have been set up to deal with him, but he has not been subdued so far. So I specially mobilized my niece to go to Huaguo Mountain to capture this demon monkey. If successful, I will definitely reward him heavily."
This is what the Jade Emperor said in the order.
"Brother, please go back. I will go to Huaguo Mountain and capture the demon monkey and bring it back to heaven!"
After Yang Jian read the Jade Emperor's edict, he thought about it and agreed to it.
As soon as the Jade Emperor's messenger left, Erlang Shen took out the auspicious clouds and rushed to Huaguo Mountain at the fastest speed.
"How is it? How is the situation? Did Erlang Shen agree?"
When the messenger returned to the Lingxiao Palace where the Jade Emperor was, before he had time to speak, he was directly asked three fatal questions by the Jade Emperor.
"Reporting to the Jade Emperor, the matter has been settled. After reading your imperial edict, Erlang Shen directly agreed to this matter. On the way back, I saw Erlang Shen, who had already set up auspicious clouds and rushed towards the direction of Huaguo Mountain in Aolai Country, Dongsheng Shenzhou."
"Please don't worry, Jade Emperor. I believe that it won't be long before Erlang Shen can successfully capture Sun Wukong and bring him back to heaven."
The messenger did not dare to neglect it and directly reported everything he saw and heard to the Jade Emperor.
It took less than half an hour for Erlang Shen to rush from his Guanjiangkou to the outside of Huaguo Mountain, where the Tower-Bearing Heavenly King Li Jing camped.
"Hey, the soldier at the door, go and tell the Tower-Bearing Heavenly King Li Jing that General Li said that the reinforcements sent by the Heavenly Court have arrived."
After Erlang Shen arrived here, he went to find Li Jing first.
"Report~Report to the Marshal, the reinforcements from the Heavenly Court have arrived outside the door."
The gatekeeper went directly in and told the Tower-Bearing Heavenly King Li Jing the news of the arrival of Erlang Shen's reinforcements.
"Oh, have the reinforcements arrived? Come with me to welcome them."
When Li Jing, the Heavenly King of the Pagoda, heard the news, he was very excited. He stood up from his seat and walked out of the tent.
"I was wondering who the reinforcements from the Heavenly Court were. I didn't expect it to be you, Erlang Shen."
"I was worried about the Jade Emperor. He would send someone with the same strength as me to deal with this demon monkey. I didn't expect the Jade Emperor to send you directly. Then this demon monkey will definitely be defeated."
When Li Jing, the Heavenly King of the Pagoda, came out of his sight, he saw the figure of Erlang Shen. He was immediately very surprised and started to be polite with him.
"Hey, General Li, please don't bother me."
After hearing the voice of Li Jing, the Heavenly King of the Pagoda, Yang Jian also started to be polite with him.
"Okay, don't be so modest. I have a rough idea of the combat power of everyone in the Heavenly Court. Your combat power is really comparable to that of Sun Wukong, as I estimated."
"But I believe that your strength must be stronger than that of Sun Wukong."
Li Jing directly stated the reason why he believed in Yang Jian so much.
"Okay, I won't be polite with you anymore. Just tell me how I should cooperate with you this time."
After praising Erlang Shen for a few words, Li Jing, the Heavenly King of the Pagoda, took on the previous responsibility again.
"Will you cooperate?"
"Normally, you don't need to cooperate much. You just need to narrow the range of the 18 heavenly nets and try to ensure that there are no loopholes in the range. Then surround it with a few more circles of heavenly soldiers and generals, just in case. You can leave everything to me afterwards."
"Then let me fight with Sun Wukong in this circle, and then you, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, must erect a magic mirror in the air to illuminate his true body for me, to prevent Sun Wukong from escaping and I can catch him back."
After listening to the question of the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King Li Jing, Erlang Shen thought about it and stated his request.
"Okay, since you said so, then we will do as you said."
