Chapter 004: It turns out you want me to be a groom

Seeing Wang Hu, Ma Ben, and He Yin also using their swift movement techniques to rush away, Shi Zhongkuai did not follow them.

Once truly persuaded, it would be tantamount to disrupting the plans of Western teachings; at that point, merely being reborn would be considered a stroke of luck

The gods in the heavens were so frightened that they were unwilling to engage in battle again

"Hahaha," the Lord of the Wuxing Star laughed and said, "Since the coachman has already elevated you, according to the Jade Emperor's intention, the heavenly soldiers should descend to the mortal realm to capture you."

One cannot help but feel a sense of doubt

Upon seeing it, Shi Zhongkui immediately recognized that Tianpeng, who would later become Zhu Bajie, had been beaten by the monkey but did not dare to retaliate, fearing that it would lead to a significant loss of face if it were to be made public

In any case, there is no concept of day and night in the Heavenly Court, and His Excellency the Horse Keeper can release his horses whenever he wishes

Successfully provoking the Martial Star Lord of the Heavenly Court, Sun Wukong smiled slightly, intending to go directly to the Jade Emperor to report the matter

Destroying the treasures of the Heavenly Court is indeed considered a grave offense

However, if nothing is done, when the monkey revolts against the Heavenly Court, even if the Heavenly Court does not punish the others in the Imperial Horse Monitoring Bureau

However, Shi Zhongkui collected the torn pieces of the celestial horse roster that Sun Wukong had shredded from the documents and presented them before himself, causing his eyes to light up.

Standing beside the desk, I secretly pondered whether I could deceive some cultivation methods or techniques of supernatural powers from the monkeys

Upon hearing these words, Shi Zhongkui let out a heavy sigh of relief

Perhaps the calamity of the Investiture of the Gods was too devastating, with countless deaths in the Grand Formation of the Ten Thousand Immortals, to the extent that even the Master of the Heavenly Dao was suppressed by the Dao Ancestor Hongjun

Standing beside the desk in the main hall, the Lord of the Martial Star casually flipped through the album of heavenly horses and selected a fine steed after some consideration

Because this is a calamity that the Western teachings have long predetermined

If I remember correctly, after being provoked by the God of Martial Stars, the monkey realized that he was merely a stableman for horses, and he would certainly rebel against the heavenly court

A monkey cannot be easily coaxed into teaching others the techniques passed down by the Bodhi Patriarch

The monkey probably understood a bit upon hearing this.

The Monkey King was unwilling to wait for a few days; he picked up the whip and went to tend to the horses again

Before the celestial soldiers guarding the gates could react, they directly rebelled against the Heavenly Court and declared themselves the mountain king in the mortal realm

Just as Shi Zhongkui was deep in thought, unsure of how much time had passed, he saw the Monkey King riding back on horseback, laughing heartily.

Indeed, after the monkey played tricks on the Lord of the Martial Star, it heard the Lord of the Martial Star say, "You insignificant little deputy horseman, how dare you presumptuously claim to be a great person, lacking any sense of shame"

Moreover, Shi Zhongkui did not dare to advise the monkey to endure, nor could he persuade him to do so

"Yes, it is," Shi Zhongkui hurriedly responded with a bow, but inside he felt anxious.

The Heavenly Court rarely executes individuals directly; like the former incarnations of Tianpeng and Lü Dongbin, the Eastern Huashangxian, those who err are sent down to the mortal realm

The troublesome aspect is that, barring any unforeseen circumstances, the monkey will inevitably rebel against the heavenly court

It is also said that this method embodies the boundless freedom of Buddhism and Confucianism, the infinite nature of the Supreme, and the utmost exaltation, which constitutes an extraordinary path

However, the magical arts cannot be deceived; the cultivation methods casually mentioned by the monkey are certainly far more profound than those known by Xue Gui and others

With a chuckle, he patted his shoulder and said, "Not bad, not bad. Today, I happen to bring back some fine wine and delicacies for you all."

Or it is like transferring you from the official office in the capital to a remote and impoverished countryside

What reasons can be used to descend to the lower realm

Now the Lord of the Martial Star is even more pleased, "Quickly summon him to see me"

Even if he wanted to follow, with two legs running, he would never be able to catch up to the three, at least not those with the skill of swift movement like Wang Hu.

As soon as he got off the horse, he muttered, "That Marshal Tianpeng seemed quite generous, yet he didn't even offer me, Old Sun, a single drink."

Sun Wukong thought for a moment and understood the meaning of Shi Zhongkui

If this were an ordinary person, they would surely understand, but the monkey, showing a look of delight, asked, "A lowly official, doesn't that mean the highest of the high?"

In that case, why not take a moment to hide away for a while

However, the monkey only believes that more is better, and without hesitation, chose the method of the Earth Fiend

The only trouble is that after achieving the Dan, the gods and demons are hard to tolerate, and every five hundred years, one must endure a calamity, which consists of three disasters: thunder, fire, and wind

Learning his techniques is equivalent to establishing a causal relationship with him, which will inevitably lead to great misfortune.

With a smile and a cupped hand, he said, "My lord, would it not be better to go to the River of Heaven to release the horses tomorrow, and then continue to go the day after tomorrow and the day after that? I was thinking, surely the Great Marshal of the Heavenly Pavilion will invite you to a banquet?"

Only by flattering the monkey with kind words can one coax it away

Looking at Shi Zhongkui, who was sweating on his forehead and had a respectful expression, he immediately smiled with satisfaction and asked, "Are you the newly appointed Imperial Horse Supervisor on duty yesterday?"

By incorporating the teachings of Renjiao and Chanjiao, which lacked the causal relationships of Western teachings, the journey to the West was thus created

Knowing that this is someone else's territory, he leaped forward, and a flash of golden light passed by.

Where is Bi Ma Wen?

Since he was driven away, why would he be invited for drinks

After the monkeys, there will still be chaos in the Heavenly Palace, and they might just be killed by the aftermath of the battle

"You, in charge of the Imperial Horse Monitoring Office, bring the damaged roster and accompany me to meet the Jade Emperor."

He never expected that things would happen so quickly

With a quick turn of his eyes, Shi Zhongkui realized that he could not learn the monkey's techniques, but he could make sure to serve him well. Seizing the opportunity to perform admirably, it would not be bad to gain cultivation techniques from the Heavenly Court as a reward for his efforts.

In simple terms, in the eyes of the immortals, the lower realm is akin to being exiled three thousand miles in ancient times

Seizing the creation of heaven and earth, encroaching upon the mysteries of the sun and moon

How could the Monkey King endure such humiliation, tearing apart the list of celestial steeds, ripping off the official robe from his body, yet still not completely losing his reason

At first, Shi Zhongkui did not react.

Then, upon hearing the phrases from Xue Gui and Jia Shan, "it is small to the extreme" and "the head of horse breeding," he instantly realized that he had been deceived

So you want me to be a groom for you

He tore off the black gauze hat from his head, took two steps at a time, jumped onto the desk, and stared fiercely at the God of Martial Arts.

"Your Excellency, the Supervisor..." Originally intending to say the words 'Supervisor Cheng', Shi Zhongkui hurriedly changed his words, saying, "The Horse Tamer has gone to the Heavenly River to release the horses."

Shizhong Kui muttered to himself and quietly reminded, "My lord, a vulgar official cannot call himself an official"

Bodhi Patriarch then allowed Sun Wukong to choose one option from the Thirty-Six Transformations of the Heavenly Gangs or the Seventy-Two Transformations of the Earthly Fiends, in hopes of evading the calamities.

Shi Zhongkui merely curled his lips, stating that even ten Tianpeng would not be sufficient for the monkey to strike

The person has already flown to the Southern Heavenly Gate

Shi Zhongkui hesitated for a few seconds and said softly, "It is just an official without rank"

There is no escape; both body and spirit will perish.

I only ascended to the Heavenly Court yesterday, and this morning the monkey took office as the Horse Keeper. By the afternoon, the Martial Star Lord could not wait even a moment and had to force the monkey down from the Heavenly Court

It is often said online that what makes the monkey formidable is not the Seventy-Two Transformations, but the Great Immortal Technique of the Heavenly Immortals

Unfortunately, Shi Zhongkui can only think about this.

Upon meeting the Jade Emperor, I made an excuse about my inadequate safeguarding of the Heavenly Horse Album and voluntarily requested to descend to the mortal realm to receive punishment, which should allow me to avoid the great turmoil in the Heavenly Palace

Shi Zhongkui was taken aback, and then he became certain that the deities of the Heavenly Court were by no means as incompetent and foolish as portrayed in novels or television dramas

However, unexpectedly, before the wine could be consumed, the God of the Martial Star arrived, causing Shi Zhongkui to break into a sweat on his forehead.

He waved to call over Shi Zhongkui, who left the best impression, and asked, "What rank is a non-mainstream official title?"

Yes, I am the one who just arrived. What instructions do you have for me, sir? I will take care of it right away
