Chapter 663 Bimawen!
It is said that although the Jade Emperor intends to recruit Sun Wukong, he knows that this matter should not be rushed.
If you rush to directly issue an order to recruit people, firstly, you will not be able to convince the immortals, and secondly, it will damage the majesty of heaven.
After creating the Dragon Palace and causing trouble in the underworld, he directly issued an edict without even fighting, wondering where to put the face of the Heavenly Court.
Therefore, he decided to make a move of "retreating in order to advance". He first sent heavenly soldiers and generals to encircle and suppress the monkey, so that the monkey could show his strength and see how much he weighed.
If Sun Wukong really has the power to penetrate the heavens and the earth and defeat the heavenly soldiers and generals, the heavenly court will use other great supernatural powers to subdue him.
In this way, it can not only demonstrate the supreme majesty of heaven, but also take advantage of the situation to shake the mountain and warn the demon clan who have been restless and ready to make trouble recently:
Don't think that defeating a few heavenly soldiers and generals is a big deal. If heaven really wants to destroy you, it will be easy!
It is only because the world still needs to go through hardships that you are left alive in this world.
If you dare not obey the orders of Heaven, then Heaven can replace you with a group of obedient monsters at any time.
In addition, through the battle between Sun Wukong and the heavenly soldiers and generals, we can take the opportunity to eradicate those heavenly soldiers and generals who do not abide by the rules of heaven and go down to earth to make a living without authorization.
This was a three-win move, and he won three times.
As a result, the Jade Emperor issued an imperial edict, and the heavenly soldiers and generals whose properties were affected rushed to the underworld to slay the demons in anger.
They secretly thought: They must make that ignorant monkey understand that as a monster, you should look like a monster.
Either work for them honestly and make sacrifices,
Or just go back to the cave obediently like an animal, and monsters imitate humans in farming and development. What does it look like? Is this what an animal should be like?
Five thousand heavenly soldiers and generals gathered into a majestic army, and they boarded the magnificent Tiangong Tower Ship in an orderly manner.
These buildings and boats are like moving fortresses, moving rapidly in the clouds and mist, as if a dark cloud is rolling towards Huaguo Mountain.
However, only half a day lasted, and to the gods in the upper world, it was just the blink of an eye.
When this originally majestic and mighty army of heavenly soldiers and generals returned, it was already a miserable sight, with the majestic flying boats and buildings in tatters.
Of the five thousand heavenly soldiers and generals, only less than a hundred remnants of the defeated generals returned, all wounded and in a miserable state.
The bad news of the defeat of the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals spread throughout the Heavenly Palace in an instant, and everyone was shocked by Sun Wukong's strength.
Such tragic casualties are the most disastrous that Heaven has ever encountered in hundreds of years!
What is even more shocking is that these astonishing casualty figures do not mean that the heavenly soldiers and generals are brave and fearless and resist desperately. The gods know very well what the heavenly soldiers and generals are.
The reason for this is that in front of the powerful Monkey King, most of the heavenly soldiers were crushed to death without even a chance to escape.
Seeing the disastrous defeat of the heavenly soldiers and generals, the Jade Emperor pretended to ask among the generals present if any of them would be willing to take the initiative to go down to the lower world to slay demons.
However, no one dared to speak this time. Facing such a ferocious demon king, none of them would get a good harvest. They had not lived enough, and they did not want to die like this.
Seeing no one to speak, the Jade Emperor would pretend to be angry. Fortunately, at this time, Taibai Jinxing, the mouthpiece of the Jade Emperor, stepped forward without hesitation.
He once again proposed the recruitment and expressed his willingness to go to Huaguo Mountain to carry out the recruitment task.
After thinking for a moment, the Jade Emperor nodded in agreement.
So, Taibai Jinxing led the order to go down to the realm and went straight to Huaguo Mountain.
After a while, Taibai Jinxing fully exerted the power of his sharp tongue to persuade Sun Wukong in every possible way.
In the end, Sun Wukong was persuaded by Taibai Jinxing and followed him on the road to becoming an official in heaven.
It is said that Sun Wukong followed the Taibai Venus all the way to the Lingxiao Palace and was able to pay homage to the Jade Emperor.
When the Jade Emperor saw the monkey's extraordinary agility and abilities, he also fell in love with him and decided to entrust him with an important task.
As a result, the Jade Emperor announced on the spot that he would confer Sun Wukong as the Chief Supervisor of Horses and grant him the post of Lu Bi Ma Wen.
Even though Bi Mawen was just a low-ranking official, in fact the power given to him by the Jade Emperor was quite considerable.
Bi Mawen, whom Sun Wukong serves as, is the "main steward" of the Royal Horse Supervisor, a fourth-grade priest, and is also one of the Jade Emperor's personal guards.
You know, this position is one level higher than that of the Golden Toad God of Wealth.
His authority is to raise the Jade Emperor's beloved horses and manage all the royal horses in the entire heaven.
Not only that, there are also a number of officials, big and small, under the Yumajian, such as the Chief Supervisor, Deputy Supervisor, Dianbo, Lux, etc., all of whom are under the control of Sun Wukong.
It can be seen that the Jade Emperor actually intended to cultivate Sun Wukong as his confidant.
The reason why it is not given to a high official is because Sun Wukong has just arrived and has not yet made any meritorious deeds. He has also killed many heavenly soldiers and generals, so naturally he cannot directly obtain a formal rank.
Moreover, this is no longer the period when there were a lot of vacancies in the god Tianpeng Marshal. If Sun Wukong is rashly allowed to directly assume the position of the fourth-grade righteous god, it may be difficult to convince other gods.
Although the golden toad was able to reach the fifth level in one step before, the real reason was that he had a good father who was willing to give him half of his priesthood. In addition, he was the direct disciple of the Queen Mother, so it was naturally incomparable.
Because the God of Wealth has many devout believers among the people, he has a deep foundation and is confident to act like this.
After all, the God of Wealth's position has been divided nine times, but it is still as solid as a rock and stands firm. It's okay to divide it once more.
Under normal circumstances, if any serious god dares to divide his position in half,
then the best outcome for himself is that he can't maintain his original position as a god, resulting in a decline in his position.
In serious cases, it is very likely to directly cause the complete collapse of the position, and then fall from the lofty position of the god to the mortal world.
For this reason, although the Jade Emperor only gave Sun Wukong a small official position, he actually gave him quite enough power.
On the one hand, this can make all forces get by in terms of face, and on the other hand, it successfully prevents the possibility of other forces taking the opportunity to impeach Sun Wukong for being unworthy of the position.
After Sun Wukong entered the Imperial Horse Administration, he pointed out the number of horses.
The bookkeepers in this prison are responsible for collecting and preparing fodder;
The strongmen are responsible for brushing and washing horses, tying grass, drinking water, and cooking fodder;
The prison secretary and deputy prisoner assist in urging the work.
They work day and night to nourish the horses.
It is okay to play with them during the day, but they must be diligent in watching over them at night.
