Conferred Gods: Start with a Phoenix clone

Chapter 1545 Monkey King
The Bull Demon King was hiding in a cave a thousand miles north of the Flower-Fruit Mountain. When he saw Sun Wukong's somersault cloud descending from the Heaven to the Flower-Fruit Mountain, he immediately summoned his men and gave some orders, and soon called over the two one-horned ghost kings.

This kind of one-horned ghost king is very rare. Only the evil ghosts who died at a special time can awaken some of their intelligence in life and go through three rounds of disasters before they can be reborn as ghost kings. The one-horned ghost king is the best among them.

At this time, the Bull Demon King could recruit two at once. His title of the powerful Bull Demon King had become very famous in the East and the West.

He said, "Have you remembered everything I commanded you?"

The two one-horned ghost kings did not dare to provoke the Bull Demon King, who was said to have all-powerful hands and eyes, and their attitude was extremely respectful: "I remember it."

"Just remember. After the mission is accomplished, you will definitely benefit from it. Remember what I said: if you do well, there will be rewards. If you don't do well, hmph."

"Yes, yes! We will complete the king's mission even at the cost of our lives!"

"Okay, let's go."

Ten days passed quickly.

Sun Wukong felt very happy when he rushed out of the South Heaven Gate. After returning to Huaguo Mountain, he drank some wine and took a nap. He felt a little worried. He himself was not afraid, but those monkeys were.

It was impossible to ask him to go back and apologize. He had learned a lot of skills and was no longer the stone monkey who would not get angry even if he was beaten or scolded by the world.

He patiently trained his troops and prepared to fight against the heavenly soldiers and generals.

Just when he was becoming more and more annoyed, two one-horned ghost kings came to surrender to the mountain, willing to become vassals of Huaguo Mountain and enjoy the same treatment as the previous 72 cave demon kings.

Sun Wukong was too impatient to deal with such trivial matters and originally wanted to let Marshals Ma and Liu handle it.

But when he heard that the One-Horned Demon King was here to offer treasures, he immediately changed his mind.

After three rounds of wine and five kinds of dishes, the two one-horned ghost kings were so excited that they were almost chanting the forbidden spell "I have been wandering for half my life and have never met a wise master".

Under the influence of alcohol, they presented Sun Wukong with a ochre-yellow robe, then pretended to be indifferent and asked about his experience in heaven.

The monkey slammed the table and cursed, thinking that the Heavenly Court was insulting him by giving him a lowly official position as a horse breeder.

The older ghost king said, "Your Majesty, you have such magical powers. Why not raise horses with him? Why not become the 'Great Sage Equaling Heaven'?"

Sun Wukong blinked his eyes. "The Great Sage Equaling Heaven? You said I can be the Great Sage Equaling Heaven?"

"Exactly! Your Majesty should be the Great Sage Equaling Heaven!"

Sun Wukong then asked Marshals Ma and Liu, "Do you think it's possible for me to become the Great Sage Equaling Heaven?"

The Tonggi Ape actually thought that the title of Monkey King was quite good. The Great Sage Equaling Heaven was a bit hateful, but after Sun Wukong returned from his studies, his temper had obviously worsened a lot and he simply wouldn't listen to any advice. The two of them could only nod vaguely.

Sun Wukong was overjoyed and announced in public that he would be the Great Sage Equaling Heaven from now on!

He is not an ignorant monkey; on the contrary, he has a certain degree of understanding of the three realms.

This Monkey King may seem very big at first glance, but in fact he does not cross the line.

What is Haotian's title? "High Saint of Heaven. Supreme God of the Mysterious Sky."

The phoenix's title is "Zhongtian Ziwei Beiji Yudou Xuanzun Renhuang Great Emperor."

Haotian had long been higher than the heavens, and the Phoenix was also higher than the heavens, but it was just in the "middle" and not too high. Hongjun was in harmony with the Tao, not with the heavens.

The key to the way of heaven is Tao, not heaven.

The gods often ride on clouds in the sky, but this sky is actually not noble.

After the recommendation of the One-horned Demon King, it was not too much for Sun Wukong to approve the title of "Great Sage Equaling Heaven". He believed that Haotian, who had a "good temper", would not refuse this request.

heaven.

A big meeting is held for small matters, and a small meeting is held for big matters.

Basically, there is nothing serious when it comes to discussion at the court meeting.

After discussing a few trivial matters, Haotian was about to leave the court.

Xu Xun stepped forward first and said, "Your Majesty, I have heard that the new Imperial Horse Supervisor, Bimawen, Sun Wukong, has revolted from the Heavenly Palace because he feels his position is too low!"

Listening to the meaning of the words, Xu Xun used the word "anti", and the situation suddenly became ten times more serious.

Someone taking sick leave and someone being absent from work are completely different in nature.

In what happened with Sun Wukong, we can say that he didn't know etiquette, was throwing a tantrum, and was on strike, or we can say that he was rebelling, it all depends on how we define it.

Before Haotian could speak, Li Jing stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, how can the Heavenly Court, which controls the Three Realms, come and go as it pleases? How can this be allowed? I, a humble servant, am willing to lead the army to defeat the demonic monkey and flatten the Flower-Fruit Mountain! I beg Your Majesty's permission!"

Nezha also stepped out and said with great vigor, "I am willing to be the vanguard."

Generals such as Lao Zhu and the Four Heavenly Kings all came out. In accordance with the principle that the law should not punish the masses, the giant spirit also shouted a few times in the team of many generals.

Haotian was put on the fire. According to his heart, it was better to be still than to move. Only by being still could he use his power to win over the people and bring more civil and military officials into his own camp. This was what he should do, instead of starting the war machine to attack the Flower-Fruit Mountain.

If he agreed, Li Jing would take away the military power, and he would be the one to fight for ten years, twenty years, or even a hundred years.

When a general is away from the king, he may not obey his king's orders. When Li Jing leads a large army to war, he is like a tyrant. He can appoint many officials in the name of war and give various rewards to the soldiers for their meritorious service.

Hongjun's words are useful to the Phoenix, but they have no deterrent effect on the soldiers. Those heavenly soldiers and generals don't know who Hongjun is, so they will naturally listen to whoever gives them benefits.

Li Jing submitted a memorial today, saying that the Giant Spirit God had made great contributions and that the Heavenly Court should reward him. Tomorrow he will submit a memorial, saying that Mo Liqing fought a bloody battle and killed two monkeys, and that he had made great contributions and should also be rewarded handsomely.

Could Haotian refuse? Once he refused, the army's support would no longer belong to him.

In order to prevent these bad things from happening, Li Jing cannot be allowed to leave!
Haotian stroked his beard and smiled, saying, "The Jade Emperor said before, 'Don't worry about him.' This resonates deeply with me. How much can a little stone monkey achieve? Why not give him the title of the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, who has an official position but no salary? Hahahaha——"

He wanted to minimize the severity of the matter, and for this purpose he did not hesitate to use his title as the Supreme of the Three Realms to veto Li Jing's suggestion to send troops.

At the same time, he was also worried that Sun Wukong would cause trouble in the end and then he would be blamed, so he pulled the Jade Emperor out again and said, "This is not only my opinion, your Jade Emperor thinks so too!"
Without waiting for Li Jing and the others to speak, Haotian directly called out the name: "Taibai Jinxing."

The old man hesitated for a moment, then stepped out and said, "I am here."

"Please go to the Flower-Fruit Mountain again and summon Sun Wukong to heaven and confer him the title of Great Sage Equaling Heaven. As for the residence..."

Bi Ma Wen has a mansion and a horse farm, but the Monkey King has just been conferred the title and has nothing. We can't let Sun Wukong live in the Imperial Stables again, right?
