Journey to the West: Begins with Tiger Vanguard

Chapter 161 The Heavenly Master protects his people and makes the most of rare goods!
Miluo Fairy City.

In East City, the core area, groups of fully armed soldiers in gold and silver armor patrolled back and forth, keeping a tight guard.

Jialiu Palace.

Fairy Mansion.

A figure wearing the standard robes of the Heavenly Court, accompanied by several soldiers, came quickly to the Immortal Palace.

After some reporting, the robed figure quickly entered the Immortal Mansion compound.

Not long after.

Then the figure was led to the study room of the Immortal Mansion. In front of the desk, Zhang Tianshi, who was wearing a blue robe with gold dots, kept writing with his ink brush. He noticed the visitor and asked directly, "What's the matter? Tell me."

"Tianshi"

The figure immediately said respectfully, "The Heavenly Master asked me to pay attention to that group of monsters who just returned from their mission. Because something went wrong, I was afraid that the subordinates could not explain it clearly, so I came to report it."

"Oh"

Hearing this, Zhang Tianshi paused for a moment, then continued writing and asked casually, "Tell me, what happened?"

"Yes"

The official immediately said carefully, "Because the clerk in charge of issuing errands in the Supervisory Department made a mistake and mistakenly awarded the Class 1B, Class 2 errands to the group of monsters who were supposed to receive Class 3 errands."

"A B-rank mission is awarded to a group of C-rank monsters!?"

Before he finished speaking, Tianshi Zhang, who had been writing non-stop, suddenly turned his head. His huge and terrifying aura instantly surged throughout the study. His sharp eyes instantly made the official who was speaking fall to his knees and immediately begged for mercy, "Tianshi, please forgive me. I have already demoted that petty official for dereliction of duty and thrown him into the Heavenly Prison. Please forgive me, Tianshi!"

At this moment, the official who was kneeling on the ground begging for mercy already hated the drunk clerk who had made mistakes.

Because the demons from outside the domain that attacked this time were extremely powerful, and there were also more and more demons from outside the domain joining in.

When you can't fight to the fullest.

The Heavenly Court could only forcibly enter this small world in order to gather the power of the three realms and continuously eliminate and weaken the power of the extraterritorial demons.

So that when the decisive battle comes in the future, the power accumulated by the extraterritorial demons will not be too exaggerated.

In order to deal with the extraterritorial demon, the Heavenly Court was divided into four ranks and multiple levels.

The ranks are: A, B, C, and D.

The highest level is Class A, which corresponds to the earthly immortal-level existence of the extraterritorial demons.

Therefore, A-level missions must be handled by immortals, gods, demons, and Buddhas of the same level of cultivation as one's own.

The B-level mission is slightly inferior, and corresponds to the extraterritorial demons whose cultivation strength is equivalent to that of the immortal realm.

Therefore, for a B-level mission, the person we dispatch must at least be a being with the cultivation level of a fairy.

The next level of Level C corresponds to the extraterritorial demons who are equivalent to the cultivators in the human fairyland. Naturally, it also requires one to dispatch cultivators in the human fairyland to deal with them.

The D level is the lowest, corresponding to the extraterritorial demons at the Jindan realm and below. This level of tasks is also the most common in the Immortal Palace.

As for the level, it is much easier to understand. It just symbolizes the quantity.

For example: Level 1 of Class C means that the extraterritorial demons have dispatched at least one extraterritorial demon from the human fairyland.

Level C, level 2, that means at least two extraterritorial demons from the human fairyland, and so on.
In this way, we can see what the B-level mission means.

That fellow actually ranked Level Two as First Class, which meant that the Extraterritorial Heavenly Demon had dispatched at least two Extraterritorial Heavenly Demons at the level of the Godly Realm for this mission, and gave it to a group of monsters led by only three demon kings from the Human Fairy Realm, which meant that those monsters were sent to die!

If it was an ordinary monster, it would be fine if something went wrong. Anyway, there are many monsters in the Three Realms, and most of them have no backing. They are basically recruited to be thugs and cannon fodder to consume the extraterritorial demons!

It was just a common mistake, and the petty clerks and employees below could just push any one of them to take the blame. How could it not affect him, one of the managers of the Supervisory Department?

But that group of monsters was specifically pointed out by Zhang Tianshi to his attention, and he was told not to be harsh or target them, nor to take care of them. That meant that there were monsters among them that the Tianshi cared about, and as a result, such a big mistake occurred.

How could he not hate this?

Fortunately, those monsters were not destined to die and were saved by the Monkey King Sun Wukong. Only about half of them died, not all of them!

I don’t know if the monsters that the Taoist priest values ​​are among them.

If you are here, it's fine. If you are not here,
The kneeling manager was filled with hatred at this moment, regretting that he had not paid more attention.
In front of the desk.

Zhang Daoling was also furious, his face was cold and his eyes were sharp, as if he wanted to skin the manager alive.

He had watched the little tiger demon grow up almost all the way until now. It could be said that with the aptitude it had shown now, as long as it did not die prematurely, it would be a foregone conclusion that it would reach the human immortal realm, and even the divine immortal realm was quite possible!

In addition, Qi Shanjun is smart and a monster, so he will be a very good chess piece when he grows up.

As a result, now it has fallen into this guy's hands!

He didn't even ask the other party to take care of him, he just let him watch him, and yet such a mistake could happen!

According to his previous temper, he would have wanted to kill this useless person who was doing nothing with a single blow.

There was silence for a long time.

Zhang Daoling finally said in a cold voice: "Zhou Yongliang"

The kneeling official trembled all over and quickly responded respectfully: "I'm here!"

Zhang Daoling spoke again, his voice becoming even colder: "You made such a mistake in the matter that this Heavenly Master asked you to look at. You can only imagine the extent of your dereliction of duty in the Supervisory Department."

These extremely cold words clearly showed the rage in Zhang Tianshi's heart.

Zhou Yongliang, the kneeling Supervisor of the Supervisory Department, trembled all over and quickly bowed his head to the ground, trembling all over, saying: "Master, please spare my life. It was my fault for not being strict with my subordinates. But... But those monsters were saved by the "Great Sage Equaling Heaven". No, by the "Fighting Buddha" Sun Wukong from the Lingshan Mountain in the West, and most of them survived."

Zhou Yongliang hadn't finished speaking yet.

Behind the desk, Zhang Daoling's expression changed slightly, and he immediately asked, "Do you mean that the monsters are not all dead yet?"

Hearing that Zhang Tianshi's words were much calmer, Zhou Yongliang was immediately delighted and nodded quickly, "Not all of them died. More than half of the monsters survived."

"what happened?"

Zhang Tianshi, who already had some guesses in his mind, put down his ink brush, looked at Zhou Yongliang who was kneeling on the ground and said, "Explain it to me in detail."

"Yes!"

Zhou Yongliang seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw at this time, and hurriedly said: "Master, this is what I have just asked. The second-level B-rank errand was in a place called Black Stone Forest. After the three demon kings accepted the errand, they went there. After waiting for three days, two immortal-level demons from the outer demon side came. The three demon kings were defeated and one of them died on the spot. Afterwards, they said that the "Fighting Buddha" Sun Wukong appeared on the battlefield, and then Sun Wukong killed the two demons. They turned a disaster into a blessing and returned victorious."

Hearing this, Zhang Daoling frowned slightly and asked, "Why did Sun Wukong appear there? Have you asked them?"

Zhou Yongliang: "I have asked, and the two demon kings said that they don't know why Sun Wukong appeared there, but they saw that Sun Wukong took away a golden elixir-level tiger demon named Qi Qi Shan Jun. They said that this is all they know."

Hear this.

Zhang Tianshi already understood clearly.

He originally thought that the tiger demon had died this time because of the dereliction of duty by the minor official in the Supervisory Office, but he did not expect that he could be saved by Sun Wukong.

He estimated that the reason Sun Wukong appeared on the battlefield was most likely to save the little tiger demon.

After all, Sun Wukong took him away in the end.

Before in Chechi Kingdom, he only knew that Qi Shanjun completed the mission well, but he never thought that he could have such a good relationship with Sun Wukong?
This really took him by surprise.
When he first took a fancy to the tiger demon, he saw that the tiger demon had some luck.

Now it seems that the little guy is really lucky.

What is luck? This is it!

Since the boy was fine, he was relieved. As for the death and injury of other monsters, he really didn't care. But since such a dereliction of duty could happen in the Supervisory Department, it had to be dealt with.

Thinking of this quickly, Zhang Daoling looked at Zhou Yongliang who was kneeling on the ground and said, "Stand up. For this incident, I will fine you one year's salary. Do you accept the punishment?"

"Thank you, Master, for your forgiveness!"

Hearing this, Zhou Yongliang, who had just stood up, was immediately overjoyed and hurriedly said respectfully: "Thank you, Master Tianshi, for your forgiveness!"

"Don't rush to forgive!"

Zhang Daoling's face turned cold as he spoke, and he immediately said, "Your Supervisory Department is so poor in supervision and control. Tell your director that the extraterritorial demon is the greatest threat to our Three Realms. The mission of your Supervisory Department is heavy, and it is related to the victory or defeat in the future."

"This Heavenly Master will go to your Supervisory Office tomorrow to check the dispatch files and present them to Your Majesty on a chosen day. I hope you will take good care of yourself!"

Zhou Yongliang's expression suddenly changed when he heard the voice, and he said more respectfully: "What the Heavenly Master taught me is true. I will report it to the Director and wait for the Heavenly Master."

Zhang Daoling waved his hand.

Zhou Yongliang, the manager of the Supervisory Department, immediately and carefully left the study, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and thought to himself that this time he must figure out the monster that Zhang Tianshi valued, so as to avoid making such a mistake again in the future.

Zhou Yongliang left in a hurry.

In the study room.

Zhang Daoling's mind was a little restless.

It was because of the dereliction of duty by the Supervisory Office and also because of the tiger demon Qi Shanjun.

The Supervisory Department was derelict in its duty. Just as he had said before, the things he ordered were treated so lightly and caused such a mess. One can imagine how many similar things happened in the Supervisory Department which holds great power at other times.

As for Qi Shanjun, he has a good relationship with Sun Wukong. If it were the same as in the past, he would be happy to see it happen and would only think that the other party is quite capable.

But now, after experiencing the journey to the West, Sun Wukong, who has always had a close relationship with the Lingshan Mountain in the West, has been named the "Fighting and Victory Buddha" of Lingshan.

He could see that Qi Shanjun's little demon had good talent, so Sun Wukong must be able to see it, plus Sun Wukong was also a demon, and they had a good relationship.
If Sun Wukong wanted to bring Qishan Jun to Lingshan and bring him under his command.
Think of this.

Zhang Daoling was immediately shocked.

Because he realized that this possibility was quite high, because Qi Shanjun's promotion to human immortal was basically a sure thing. If he could see it, then Sun Wukong could naturally see it as well. Even if he could not see it, his master behind him, "Sandalwood Merit Buddha" Tang Sanzang, could see it.

Although he ostensibly did not interfere in order to allow Qi Shanjun to better hone and grow, in reality it was because Qi Shanjun's previous cultivation was too low and he did not want to go to the trouble.

but now.
If he tried to win over Sun Wukong, he really couldn't tell whether Qi Shanjun would agree to let them enter the Lingshan Mountain.

After all, the tiger demon is now helpless.
Just thought of this.

Suddenly, there were hurried footsteps outside the door.

Zhang Daoling turned around and saw his housekeeper reporting: "Master, the news just arrived."

Not long after.

Zhang Daoling held a letter in his hand, and couldn't help but sneer in his heart: "Humph, I really guessed it right. That Tang Sanzang really wants to win over the tiger demon he has trained for many years to join his army."

"Very good, Lord Qi Shan, since you didn't agree, I think you still miss me, the Heavenly Master. So what if I give you a Heavenly Position?"

Thinking of this.

Zhang Daoling closed his eyes slightly, and various vacancies in the eight departments of Heaven quickly appeared in his mind.

As the chief of the four great heavenly masters, he can definitely be regarded as the master of the three realms and the closest minister to the Jade Emperor.

In the past, all matters, big or small, in the various departments of the Heavenly Court would basically go through his hands first before being presented to His Majesty.

When it comes to understanding the various departments of the Heavenly Court, Zhang Daoling would not dare to say that he is the best, but he is definitely among the top. Especially in terms of the duties of each department, he knows them like the back of his hand.

However, it was not easy to choose a position for Qi Shanjun because his cultivation was too low.

But as long as he wants to find it, he can still find it.

Not long after.

He found a suitable job.

immediately.

Zhang Daoling picked up his pen and began to draft the jade book for the enthronement ceremony.

When you finish writing it in one breath.

He then said, "Someone come here."

soon.

Watching the jade book being taken away.

Zhang Daoling also breathed a sigh of relief, put down the ink brush in his hand, walked to the window and looked out.

If one wants to win over Lord Qishan, granting him a Jade Book of Heavenly Duties would be a great way to do it.

What he gave to the boy today was not only a mission, but also sincerity. I think the boy would not be able to refuse it.

Looking at the beautiful fairy city in the distance.

Zhang Daoling couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief: "I hope that kid won't let me down in the future."

When Qi Hu left Xicheng, where Sun Wukong's immortal residence was located.

It was already dawn of the second day.

Although there is no rising sun or setting moon in this world, there is no sunrise to watch.

But Qi Hu still subconsciously glanced at the eastern sky.

The sky outside the fairy city was as gray as usual, but the sky inside the fairy city was dazzling and bright.

As Qi Hu walked on the wide street, he couldn't help but recall the scene in Sun Wukong's fairy palace.

Faced with the invitation of "Sandalwood Merit Buddha" Tang Sanzang, he entered Buddhism and went to Lingshan.

Qi Hu thought about it again and again, and decided to refuse.

Of course, he didn't say he was dead, he just said that he needed time to consider. After all, this was related to his future prospects and he needed to be extremely cautious.

But that's just his words.

Because he just wanted to use this invitation from Tang Sanzang to put some pressure on Zhang Tianshi, so that he wouldn't think that he was insignificant and that he was the only way.

Talk about it.

If Qi Hudui was not interested in Buddhist philosophy, he would not want to become a monk.

In terms of choice alone, Tang Sanzang's invitation was indeed a good one for him.

Because if he agreed, then behind him would immediately stand the four pilgrims who were seeking Buddhist scriptures, Sun Wukong, Tang Sanzang, Zhu Bajie, and Sha Wujing, as well as two Buddhas and two Bodhisattvas.

This is definitely an excellent choice for Qi Hu, who has just lost his immediate boss and is in a bad situation.

As for the Zhang Tianshi behind him, he estimated that they would not really pay attention to him until he broke the boundary between immortals and mortals and became a human immortal.

"Eh"

Thinking of this, Qi Hu sighed and flew into Gengba Street and Bingwu Courtyard.
