Chapter 289 Jade Emperor, are you going to cause trouble?
Cheng Long did not keep Taibai Jinxing waiting for long. He ran to the training room, left a note, and then followed Taibai straight into the sky and flew to the South Gate of Heaven.
The Nantianmen Gate hidden among the clouds is an insurmountable barrier that separates the mortal world and the fairyland. It is mysterious, solemn and awe-inspiring.
Following Taibai into the South Heaven Gate, one can see thousands of golden lights, rolling red neon, thousands of auspicious auras, and purple mist coming from the east. Walking further, on both sides are hundreds of heavenly soldiers and generals guarding the sky, each of them is extraordinary and mighty.
But Cheng Long could see numbness in their eyes, similar to that of working people!
Although he didn't know the duty hours of the heavenly soldiers yet, even if they worked four days a week and rested three days a week, he would find it boring to work day after day. He felt like a soulless wooden stake, decorating this magnificent heaven.
Presumably, many of the heavenly soldiers have regretted entering the Immortal Pond!
Although life is tiring, at least you can still strive. If you pass the exam or make a lot of money, you can hope to live the life you want.
"Mr. Cheng, the Yaochi is just ahead. Their Majesty and the Queen must have prepared a lot of food for you. Feel free to take whatever you want to eat. Don't be polite..." As a favorite of the Jade Emperor, Taibai could see at a glance the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother's intention to recruit Cheng Long.
In order not to cheapen Buddhism, no matter how much Cheng Long eats, His Majesty and His Majesty will not mind, and they may even hope that he will eat more.
The things that are most in abundance in Heaven are Ganoderma lucidum nectar, fairy peaches and fairy wine!
Of course, it is not easy to get these. Ordinary heavenly soldiers and generals can only receive a fixed salary every month. But Cheng Long, who is full of merits, is different. As long as he is granted the title of immortal official, he can enhance the fortune of heaven, and the good things he can get are naturally far higher than those of ordinary soldiers.
"Xingjun, I feel relieved with your words."
The main reason why Cheng Long refused the Buddhist sect's recruitment was that he did not want to be a monk and observe the precepts. Although there were many rules in heaven, he could ask for a sinecure for himself, such as being a mountain god or a river god in the lower world.
Just receive a fixed salary every year.
Under the guidance of Taibai, he soon met the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother.
The Jade Emperor is not as foolish and pleasure-seeking as portrayed in many movies and TV dramas. His eyes are like stars in an autumn night, shining with wisdom. His gaze is deep and calm, as if he can see into the hearts of all things in the world.
The Queen Mother of the West has an extremely beautiful and dignified appearance. Her aura is even stronger than that of Guanyin Bodhisattva, and her strength may even be above that of the Bodhisattva.
"Your Majesty, this is Mr. Cheng, a casual cultivator from the lower world..." Taibai Jinxing walked to the Jade Emperor and stopped three feet away, saying respectfully.
"I am a casual cultivator from the lower world, and I am honored to meet the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother." Cheng Long followed suit and bowed.
"No gift!"
The Jade Emperor waved his hand and said, "Master Cheng, please take a seat."
"Thank you, Jade Emperor."
Cheng Long was not polite at all. He sat down at the food table opposite the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother, grabbed a white and rosy, crystal clear peach and stuffed it into his mouth.
Tsk!
Take a bite, the juice flows,
After the extremely sweet juice entered the stomach for a while, it turned into a pure spiritual power and flowed to every corner of the body.
According to preliminary estimates, the spiritual power contained in a fairy peach is more than what he would gain from practicing day and night for half a year.
If you can eat one every day, your cultivation will definitely improve rapidly and you won't need to kill anyone.
The Jade Emperor and Queen Mother saw him chewing the fairy peach with big mouthfuls, with a faint smile on his face. Judging from his appearance, he must have never eaten fairy peach before. The fairy peach and fairy wine that were of no use to them were great tonic elixirs for the demon cultivators who had not yet become immortals.
They are not afraid that Cheng Long is greedy, but they are afraid that the other party is not greedy. Only greedy people can talk!
The solemn Jade Emperor and Queen Mother quietly watched Cheng Long eat three fairy peaches and half a pot of fairy wine, then smiled and said, "Mr. Cheng, you have great merits and can ascend to become a fairy. However, there is no god position suitable for you in my heaven. Only some ordinary god positions are left. I wonder if you are willing to get an idle job and become an idle god?"
"I can't ask for it!"
Cheng Long agreed readily.
He once served as a mountain patrol general in the zombie world, and he knew very well that it would be beneficial and harmless to be granted the title of a god. As long as he was not a poor heavenly soldier or general, nothing else mattered.
Anyway, I am just a passer-by.
Not even some unlucky guy whose real spirit is on the list.
"In this case, I will pardon and confer upon you the title of God of Luojia Mountain, and put you in charge of the Sea Continent Islands..."
"Pfft!"
Before the Jade Emperor finished speaking, Cheng Long spat out a mouthful of immortal wine.
Luojia Mountain, isn’t that the dojo of Guanyin Bodhisattva?
Isn't the mountain god there the black bear demon?
Jade Emperor, you are going to cause trouble!
“Master Cheng, you…” The Jade Emperor’s face suddenly turned dark.
Cheng Long slowly wiped the corner of his mouth and frowned, "Jade Emperor, as far as I know, Luojia Mountain belongs to Putuo Mountain and is the dojo of Guanyin Bodhisattva. It's not appropriate for you to arrange for me to be a mountain god in the dojo of Bodhisattva, right?"
"Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva lives in the Purple Bamboo Forest. Mount Putuo is her place of practice. No other place is her place of practice." The Jade Emperor explained with a stern face.
"But isn't the mountain god of Luojia Mountain a black bear?"
"It's wild, I have never pardoned it..."
Cheng Long: "..."
The Jade Emperor is determined to cause trouble!
Even if the Black Bear Demon is not an orthodox mountain god, he is still the Bodhisattva's guardian beast. The Jade Emperor appointed him as the mountain god of Luojia Mountain, and he simply wanted to use him as a gun to take back Mount Putuo, one of the four famous mountains in Buddhism.
Although given his relationship with Sister Guanyin, nothing would happen, he would never cause trouble for his backer just for a little bit.
Thinking of this, Cheng Long stood up and waved his hand, putting all the dozen immortal escapes, a watermelon cut in half, and half a pot of immortal wine on the table into the storage ring, and bowed and said: "Jade Emperor, I suddenly remembered that I left in a hurry just now and forgot to close the yard. Goodbye."
"Wait a minute~~"
The Queen Mother frowned and glanced at the Jade Emperor, then looked at Cheng Long and said, "Mr. Cheng, if you don't want to go to the Bodhisattva's temple to be a mountain god, you can also make a request yourself. As long as it is suitable, we will agree to it."
"Then I'll trouble you, Madam, to appoint me as a priest of the idle position of Mountain Patrol. I can't sit still. I like to exorcise demons everywhere. Patrolling the mountains is more suitable for me than sitting on a mountain."
Cheng Long made a huge request. Originally, the Jade Emperor just conferred a god position on him, even if it was just a god of a small mountain. But he never thought that the Jade Emperor wanted to use him as a knife.
He was holding back a lot of anger, and how could he vent it unless he opened his mouth loudly and put some pressure on the Jade Emperor?
The position of Inspector of Mountains that he requested, as can be seen from the name alone, has the function of monitoring the mountains, which is a bit like an imperial envoy.
As expected, when the Queen Mother heard his request, she frowned and subconsciously looked at the Jade Emperor beside her.
The Jade Emperor stared at Cheng Long expressionlessly.
Cheng Long is not afraid at all. He can return to the city at any time with just one click, and return to the Hong Kong variety show world with just a thought.
The magic system is his greatest support!
However, he would never return to the city with just one click unless it was absolutely necessary. Although the level of the Green Snake World was not high, the abundance of spiritual energy far exceeded that of the Liao Zhai World.
What's more, he left without saying a word before he had the chance to sign a contract with the two blue and white snakes.
Xiaobai will definitely repeat the same mistake and meet Xu Xian at some time in the future and fall in love with him.
"Master Cheng, the role of the Mountain Inspector is not insignificant. His Majesty has made a promise that once you are appointed as the Mountain Inspector, it will be like putting a chair on the heads of the emperors of the Three Mountains and Five Peaks." Taibai Jinxing advised with great insight, "Perhaps, the Five Peaks emperors will not do anything to you due to their merits, but they will definitely resort to trickery to make it difficult for you to move forward."
"Then I will take a step back and become the Southern Inspector. My position cannot be any lower. If you still don't agree to this, then I can only say goodbye." Supervising the mountains in the world is indeed easy to make people hate you, but Cheng Long is still confident that he can do the job of supervising the mountains in the south.
Anyway, he had no intention of interfering with the mountain god. He only wanted to use his position to kill the monsters in the deep mountains and forests to enhance his strength. With the position of an inspector, he could still do something even if he killed some monsters with backing.
……
Chengfu.
at dusk.
Bai Suzhen finished her three-day practice and walked out of the secret room happily, but she saw a note posted on the door.
"Young Master has been invited to heaven, so won't he soon be among the immortals?"
Bai Suzhen was overjoyed, but then she thought that she had just passed the sixty-nine tribulations of the heavens, and she didn't know when she would be able to pass the ninety-nine tribulations of the heavens and achieve enlightenment and ascend to heaven. Her excitement instantly cooled down.
"Sister, what's wrong?"
Xiaoqing seemed to have heard her sister's movements, and she ended her practice and swam out of the secret room.
"look."
Bai Suzhen handed over the note.
Xiao Qing finished reading and smiled, "I didn't expect that Brother Cheng was so prestigious that even the Jade Emperor sent a deity to invite him to heaven..."
"Xiaoqing, you stay here to look after the house. I'll go out for a walk."
Bai Suzhen flew out of the yard with a heavy heart.
She was very confused at the moment. She didn't want to be separated from Cheng Long, but she also hoped that Brother Cheng would be included in the immortal class.
What she was worried about was that after Brother Cheng achieved his goal, the two of them would separate.
"Are Brother Cheng and I destined to be apart?"
Just as she was thinking about it, a teacher from a school in the city suddenly caught her attention.
"Flowers send off Mei Niang, willows sway their waists, goddess peeks at Fengyue kiln, man embraces spring breeze and plays harp, sister welcomes autumn rain to the sky..." After reading the poem written by his students, Xu Xian, who was handsome in long robes, said angrily: "Who are you writing these obscene poems for? Your exams are coming soon. Although you don't study for fame, you can't be so careless, indulge in women, waste your youth, and neglect your studies. Do you understand?"
"I understand."
"Qin Song, what about you?"
"I understand, teacher."
Xu Xian's righteous words seemed to have a magical power that eroded Bai Suzhen's heart.
It was obvious that she already had someone in her heart and was not pretentious towards other men, but when she met the teacher below, she wanted to leave several times but could not move.
Only after the other party has taught the student a lesson and left an impression in his heart can he take the next step.
"That scholar is so elegant, even better than Brother Cheng... No, my heart belongs to Brother Cheng, how could I think someone else is elegant?" Bai Suzhen, who was in a daze, suddenly felt her heart tighten.
Although snakes are naturally lustful, her charm and love will only be shown to the person she likes. Since she has chosen Cheng Long who has done her a favor, it is impossible for her to fall in love with anyone else.
What's more, the teacher in the school is not particularly handsome, so why would I suddenly fall in love with him?
The more Xiaobai thought about it, the more frightened he became.
She had originally wanted to go shopping in the market to relax, but now that this had happened, she no longer had the heart to go shopping. She flew up into the sky and disappeared into the moonlight...
"Didn't Sister just come out of seclusion? Why did she go in again?"
Xiaoqing, who had caught a wild pheasant from somewhere and was about to roast it, went into the secret room as soon as she saw her sister come back, with a look of confusion on her delicate face.
"Forget it, my sister left in such a hurry, let's just wait until she comes out!"
Xiaoqing grilled the pheasant without a care in the world, adding seasonings according to Cheng Long's usual grilling steps, and actually grilled it quite well. Soon, the pheasant, which was active in the forest, gave off an enticing meaty aroma.
Before it was cooked, she couldn't help but tear off a chicken leg and take a delicious bite.
"Ah, bah, bah, bah...it's so salty!"
Xiaoqing suddenly spat out the meat in her mouth and looked at the chicken leg in disbelief. She had clearly followed Brother Cheng's instructions, so why was the roasted meat so salty?
What's wrong?
Snake Brain is about to overload!
"Xiao Qing~~"
Cheng Long's voice suddenly sounded in the air.
Xiao Qing's face lit up with joy, and she looked up and asked, "Brother Cheng, you're back? What official position did the Jade Emperor give you? Is it a high-ranking one?"
Cheng Long landed lightly in the courtyard and whispered, "You are not a small official, but you are not a big one either. Why is your sister still in seclusion?"
When Xiaoqing mentioned her sister, she no longer cared about what official position Brother Cheng had been given. She said anxiously, "My sister came out of seclusion in the evening, earlier than me, but she went out to relax and came back and ran into the secret room with a heavy heart. I don't know what happened. I'm a little worried."
"Is there still this?"
Cheng Long frowned and walked towards the secret room without saying anything.
“Bang… bang… bang…”
He knocked very quickly.
But even so, Bai Suzhen still waited for twenty or thirty breaths before opening the door.
The worried Xiaobai thought that Xiaoqing was worried about him, but he saw Brother Cheng standing at the door with a worried look on his face.
"Brother Cheng, you're back?"
"Xiaobai, Xiaoqing just said that you flew back from outside with a lot on your mind, what happened?"
"I met a man, a teacher..." Bai Suzhen hesitated for a moment and explained, "This man is very strange. His words and actions seem to have a magical power. I just heard him scolding his students, and I had a very strange feeling about him, as if, as if he is my destined son."
Cheng Long frowned and asked, "Do you still feel this way now?"
Bai Suzhen smiled and said, "It's gone when I see you."
"That is to say, when you see that teacher in the future, you might still have the feeling of having met a good man by chance?" Cheng Long had already guessed who the teacher Xiaobai was referring to.
Bai Suzhen and Xu Xian in the Green Snake world had no life-saving karma, but they fell in love at first sight.
This might be the fate of the two people. Xiaobai was destined to suffer this disaster, but Cheng Long was more inclined to believe that someone was secretly doing something, because in the past six months, their relationship had become closer and closer, and it seemed that they were about to make it a done deal, but such a terrible thing happened.
He didn't believe that Bai Suzhen was the kind of woman who would easily fall in love with another man!
I don't believe that Xu Xian can have such great charm!
