[Journey to the West] Empty Enlightenment Bodhi

"How could Taibai Jinxing make a mistake?" A little fairy laughed, "Even if the Jade Emperor made a mistake, it is impossible for Taibai Jinxing to make a mistake."

Sun Wukong's eyes were dimmed, and he continued to ask: "Could this little brother please explain to me, what kind of position is this Zhengtang steward? I don't have any other ideas, just pure curiosity."

A slightly older immortal official sighed, drank a big sip of wine, as if to embolden himself, sighed again after drinking, and then said: "This official is in charge, there is no position, no rank."

"Huh?" Sun Wukong was surprised, "Is this Zhengtang steward not a steward? When I was in the mortal world, those with the word steward in their name were all stewards. There are always a few people under my command, is it possible?" Isn't the steward of the righteous hall in the sky the same steward as the steward of the mortal world?"

"If you want to say that he is in charge, then he can also be in charge," the old fairy sighed, "but other places are in charge of things and people; the steward of the Yumajian is in charge of horse."

"To put it bluntly," the old fairy probably couldn't see Sun Wukong's ignorance and being deceived, so he simply opened up his words and explained to Sun Wukong, "This official steward is in charge of horses, responsible for input and output, and is bound to Bi Mawen. Just do a thankless job.”

A few days ago, in order to repay the Jade Emperor for his kindness, Sun Wukong spent the whole day in the stable and devoted himself to raising the horses. He didn't even go back to the palace assigned to him.

It can be said to be painstaking and painstaking.Now I suddenly heard that Bi Mawen is worse than those gods of ninth rank and ninth rank, and he doesn't even have an official position.Thinking about it again, I had secretly ridiculed the Lishi supervisor earlier, saying that these people have such low official positions and have to do so much work, even if the Jade Emperor gave him these ninth-rank and ninth-rank official positions to Monkey King, his It's not rare to do it.Thinking back now, I just feel that I slapped myself in the face, which hurt a lot, and I was not happy at the moment. After the banquet that night, Monkey King went back to the stable, packed his things, and went to his own mansion by the way.

The mansion is not small, with the unified equipment of the Tiangong, a house with a radius of [-] for each person. The house is full of flowers and plants, but the official rank is different, and the servants are also arranged differently.

Immortals like Sun Wukong who have no grades are just an empty house without a maid in it.

Thinking of this, Monkey King became even angrier. He sat on a small table, sighed over a pot of tea leaves, and looked extremely sad and depressed.

Bodhi couldn't look down on Sun Wukong like this, every sigh seemed to be stepping on his own heart, which made his heart sore and weak.Therefore, when Monkey King sighed No. 20 six times, Bodhi, regardless of the risk of being exposed in the heavenly court, looked for a gap and revealed the entity.

Bodhi sat beside Sun Wukong, squeezed Sun Wukong's hand, and comforted him softly: "I was in Lingxiao Temple before, and I reminded you that this Bi Mawen is a very inferior position, so I won't allow you to agree. Since you agreed, why are you starting to feel sad again now?"

Sun Wukong sighed: "I am not sad for Bi Mawen."

"Then why are you sad?" Bodhi asked him.

"I just think," Sun Wukong paused, "the Jade Emperor is not as good as the mortal legend says, and the Heavenly Palace is not as clean as the mortal world says."

"It's natural," Bodhi laughed. "Is there any place in this world that is clean?"

Sun Wukong sighed, and then stopped Bodhi from continuing: "Don't talk, you will have nothing good to say, let's talk about something else. I have suffered enough blows today, I don't want to listen to you Bayi anymore Those dark stories of the Eight Gods Realm and the Buddha World."

"Okay," Bodhi asked, "what else do you want to talk about?"

"I don't know," Sun Wukong sighed.

Bodhi thought for a while and asked, "Why don't I ask, what are you going to do next?"

"What should I do?" Sun Wukong smiled wryly, "As I said, I should have gone to the Lingxiao Palace long ago, beaten the Jade Emperor to death, and asked him why he lied to my grandson."

Bodhi laughed and said, "What about after the beating?"

"After the beating, immediately slap your ass and leave," Sun Wukong was imagining his future plans enthusiastically, "Whether he is the heavenly king Lao Tzu or the heavenly Jade Emperor, I am not afraid of the old grandson. Over the years, our monkey monkey Sun Ye's practice is almost the same, not worse than those heavenly soldiers and generals, even if we really fight, our Huaguo Mountain has a greater chance of winning than the Heavenly Court." Sun Wukong finished thinking about his heroic arrogance, sighed again, and added, " But in my current situation, since I have promised Master to bring Master to the Sanqing Realm, I can't act rashly. I have inquired about it. After the annual Pantao Festival, the Sanqing Realm will be open to the public for a few days. Stay in this sky for a few more months, after the Peach Festival is over, I will send Master back to the Sanqing Realm, and then go down the mountain by myself."

Bodhi pursed her lips and said nothing.After a while, Bodhi sighed, "I really don't know, you don't have any idea about these official titles. You should blame me."

"What stupid things?" Sun Wukong patted the back of Bodhi's hand reassuringly, "This matter has nothing to do with you, it's the Jade Emperor who bullied people. It's okay, I just thought of a way. Since the Jade Emperor won't let me Well, of course I won't let him have a good time."

Bodhi hummed, turned his head and smiled and said, "You are full of ghosts, what kind of tricks did you think of in a while?"

Monkey King just smiled and said nothing: "Don't worry about it, just watch tomorrow."

Bodhi wanted to tell Sun Wukong a few more words, but after thinking about it, even if Sun Wukong broke the day, nothing serious would happen.So the conversation changed, and he talked about other things with Monkey King.

"Above the heaven, it is no different from the mortal world. Clairvoyance and Shunfeng are all watching, so we must be careful in what we say and do, and we must not give the Jade Emperor any excuses."

Seeing Bodhi's changing expression, Sun Wukong couldn't understand what Bodhi was worried about, so he comforted him with a smile: "I have a measure, I won't mess around."

the next day.

Sun Wukong went to Lingxiao Hall early in the morning. Before everyone left, Sun Wukong looked at the gap and got in.

Naturally, the guards waiting at the door would not allow it, and came to catch Wukong back.

But Wukong was in front of the crowd, regardless of his face, he just sat on the ground and rolled around.The gods hadn't seen such an unreasonable person for a long time, but they stopped in their tracks, and some of the higher-ranking ones even waved their hands to let the guards go down.

When the Jade Emperor saw the commotion, he asked: "My dear friends, since you have gone to court, why don't you go back? You are guarding the door, do you have something to report?"

"Reporting to the Jade Emperor," Taibai Jinxing did not think it was a big deal to watch the excitement, "There was a monkey in front of the hall, and the guards were trying to drive it away. Unexpectedly, Nezha and others drove the guards away instead. Now the monkey The monkeys are making trouble in front of the hall."

"Monkey?" The Jade Emperor frowned upon hearing Taibai Jinxing's description, "But the Monkey King from the Water Curtain Cave in Huaguo Mountain?"

"It's me, it's me!" Sun Wukong shouted at the top of his voice, but he didn't know where he got such good hearing, and could he hear the Jade Emperor's words clearly from such a distance? That's all. It's really rare that this monkey can still slip in the words.

The Jade Emperor was stopped by Sun Wukong, and he could only admit cowardly: "Let him come up."

Sun Wukong grinned, ran to the guards who had blocked him, grinned his teeth and made a grimace, and walked up to the Lingxiao Hall triumphantly.

All the gods had dispersed at first, and planned to go back to their homes and find their mothers. Now that there was something lively to watch, they were relieved of sleepiness and didn’t want to go home anymore. They happily joined hands and went back to Lingxiao Palace together. , I plan to listen to a corner and watch the excitement.

The first thing Sun Wukong did when he saw the Jade Emperor was to bow to him and salute: "Your Majesty, I am Sun Wukong, the steward of the main hall of the Yumajian that His Majesty personally sealed."

"Yeah," the Jade Emperor responded casually, "I know, it was only sealed a few days ago."

Sun Wukong smiled, and continued: "Your Majesty, I came here today to seek His Majesty's comment."

"What's the reason?" Jade Emperor asked him, "But someone bullied you in the heavenly court, or did the officials not listen to you?"

"Neither, not at all," Sun Wukong stood respectfully at His Highness, and slowly began his nonsense, "Your Majesty, what I'm suing is that the person in charge of horses cheated me."

"Cheat?" The Jade Emperor raised his eyebrows, and before he could speak, Sun Wukong interrupted, "Yes, Your Majesty, the immortal officials of the Yumajian deceived the villain, saying that the official steward has no rank. In the Heavenly Palace, he can only be regarded as an immortal servant, not even an immortal official—" Jade Emperor opened his mouth, wanting to interrupt Monkey King, but Monkey King did not give Jade Emperor a chance to refute, and finished quickly For the rest, "Of course I don't believe it. Since the Jade Emperor himself said that he would let me, a demon fairy from Huaguo Mountain, be enshrined in the sky, and give me a fairy official to do it, how could he give me a fairy with no rank at all?" position?"

Jade Emperor just wanted to say that you misunderstood, but he was blocked again before the words reached his mouth.

Sun Wukong seized every second to flatter the Jade Emperor, trying to hold the Jade Emperor to a height that he couldn't get down at all before the Jade Emperor opened his mouth.

"The officials of the Yumajian told me that the official steward of the Yumajian is a position without rank. Naturally, I don't believe it. Your Majesty just said that I have officials under me in the Yumajian. Since the steward of Zhengtang has immortal officials under his command, the steward of Zhengtang must be of high rank."

Monkey King raised his eyelids, glanced at Jade Emperor, and found that Jade Emperor was deep in thought now, not as confident as when he tried to intervene before, Monkey King now had the confidence to finish the rest of the sentence.

"Besides, the Yumajian is in charge of the soldiers and horses in this world. How can the official stewards among them have no rank? I will never believe this kind of thing. I must be new here, and the immortals of the Yumajian are afraid. I can't blend in with them, so I'm joking with me. Since the Jade Emperor personally sealed me as the official steward of the Yumajian, I am the official steward of the Yumajian. How can it be possible that the official title sealed by His Majesty is not good? What about the high-ranking ones? Even so many official positions that His Majesty did not summon in person and personally conferred official titles are of high quality and rank, so they must have lied to me. Yes, I only believe what you said, the Jade Emperor. The official position you personally bestowed on me, Your Majesty, must be of high quality and rank."

Sun Wukong looked at the Jade Emperor solemnly, and complimented the Jade Emperor affectionately: "Jade Emperor, what you said is a golden word. The rules of heaven are unchangeable operating principles. Those who have not been personally awarded, I am afraid that they will not even be able to go to the Heavenly Palace. So many immortals who have not been personally awarded official titles are still working in the Heavenly Palace, holding positions, and have a high rank; , it’s not so low that you don’t even have a rank?” Sun Wukong laughed and said, “This is obviously unreasonable, so I don’t believe what they say, I only believe what you say. They are really bad, bullying me Xinlai is ignorant, yet he wants to coax me to say that Jade Emperor lied to me, Jade Emperor, you have such a noble status, how could you coax me into a little monkey who has never seen the world? Hehe, Jade Emperor, don’t you think so? "

The Jade Emperor made Sun Wukong stand in his way. He couldn't just say, "Although I am the Jade Emperor, the steward of the main hall of the Yumajian that I personally appointed you is really a position without official rank."Your colleagues are right, I'm really kidding you.Even though the Jade Emperor wasn't a face-saving person, he couldn't do such a self-slapping thing.What's more, since the Jade Emperor became the Jade Emperor who is under a few people and above ten thousand people, his love for face has increased day by day, so he naturally couldn't hold back this face.

After listening to Sun Wukong's words, the Jade Emperor hesitated in his heart whether to simply give Sun Wukong a grade. It's not a big deal after all. When he listened to Monkey King's flattering words later, his heart felt like being soaked in warm water. , very comfortable, the pores all over his body stretched out, especially when Sun Wukong said that he is the rule of heaven, don't mention how happy he is, he immediately feels that Sun Wukong's matter is not a matter, and he can solve it with a wave of his hand.

"Well, what you said makes sense," the Jade Emperor said, "the steward is indeed a high-ranking official position, and they all lied to you. Your official uniform is being produced a few days ago, and it will be delivered to you tomorrow." Your house, you go back and wait."
