Chat group: Among all the people in the heavens, I am the Bull Demon King!

Of course, not all Hunyuan Taiyi masters will hold a Hunyuan Banquet. There are also some Hunyuan Taiyi masters who do not care about false reputation and are devoted to cultivation. After they achieve enlightenment, they will not hold a Hunyuan Banquet.

No one dared to force a monk to hold a celebration banquet after he achieved enlightenment.

Therefore, whether or not the Hunyuan Banquet should be held depends on Niu Jun himself, and even the Great Heavenly Venerable has no right to interfere.

Niu Jun took the jade talisman and the pardon order, smiled calmly and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Great Heavenly Venerable. I am used to being lazy, and I would like to have some free time, so I will not hold this Hunyuan Banquet!"

After all, he is not his predecessor, and he cannot have the same wide circle of friends and be as versatile as his predecessor!

Besides, he doesn’t have many friends in the Journey to the West world. Even if he really holds a Hunyuan Banquet, there probably won’t be many guests and friends coming.

Rather than doing this, it’s better not to do it.

Upon hearing this, Taibai Jinxing could not help but praise: "The Heavenly Venerable has a noble character, is indifferent to fame and wealth, and has a clear ambition. This is admirable. I am ashamed to be inferior to him!"

Niu Jun shook his head: "Venus, you are too kind. I am lazy and indolent. How can I deserve such praise from Venus?"

One's own family knows one's own affairs.

The reason he didn't want to hold the Hunyuan Banquet was simply because he was too lazy to deal with too many people, not because he was truly noble and indifferent.

To truly have a noble character, one must be indifferent to fame and wealth and have a clear aspiration.

He would not join the Heavenly Court.

However, although Niu Jun was only affiliated with the Heavenly Palace, he did not need to report on time and wait for inspection like other immortals and gods.

But the welfare benefits given to him by the Heavenly Palace are not bad.

For example, the Jiutian Xuanyuan Dali Wanjun Tianzun Palace bestowed by the Great Tianzun was said to be an immortal palace, but in fact it was a floating fairy island covering an area of a thousand miles.

On the fairy island, there are tens of thousands of fairy palaces and temples, three thousand powerful warriors and fairies, nine top-level fairy veins, thirty-six acquired spiritual roots, and an innate magic array.

Other things such as the alchemy room, instrument room, medicine garden, animal garden, etc. are all available without any missing!

The rich fairy spirit transformed into a misty fairy fog that enveloped the entire fairy island, filled with lingering fragrance, colorful auspicious mist, blooming flowers, and fairy air.

Anyone who sees it will praise it, what a holy place for immortals!

Taibai Jinxing and others sent Niu Jun to Tianzun Palace.

He immediately summoned the immortal officials and maidens in the immortal palace, explained everything in detail, and let them know the owner of the immortal palace. Then he left the reward from the Great Celestial Venerable and left with his people.

Niu Jun bid farewell to Taibai Jinxing and Tiannu, then summoned the steward of the Immortal Palace. After briefly understanding the situation of the Immortal Palace, he asked the steward to start preparing the banquet.

Do not misunderstand!

He is not going to entertain any sacred star god.

Instead, he was preparing to go to the Heavenly Prison to pick up his three sworn brothers from his previous life and to welcome back his three poor brothers!

"Prepare three hundred jars of the finest nectar and dew!"

"Dragon liver and phoenix marrow, bear paws and ape lips, rare and precious fruits, and all kinds of delicacies. Prepare them all. If you don't have them, go to the treasury and withdraw some money to buy them."

"My three brothers have suffered in the prison for more than 300 years... God, you must treat them well!"

Niu Jun gave instructions to Liu Wan, the left manager of the Immortal Mansion.

Originally, he wanted to say that his three brothers had suffered in the Heavenly Prison for more than three hundred years.

As the words were on the tip of his tongue, he realized that one day in heaven is one year on earth. According to the time in Daluo Heaven, the three demons of the Lion King had only been imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison for about three hundred days, which was less than a year.

He's been in prison for less than a year, so he shouldn't have suffered too much, right?

Niu Jun thought a little unconfidently.

"Please rest assured, I will prepare it right away."

"Well, go down and get ready!"

Niu Jun waved his hand and asked Liu Wan to go down and prepare, while he went straight to the sky prison.

Tianlao is the location of the heavenly prison.

The Purple Book of the Jade Pure True King of the High Divine Sky records:

"There are thirty-six heavens above, thirty-six lands, and thirty-six fortresses below. There are nine Yang Brahma Qis each, corresponding to the thirty-six Qis in a year. There is one Qi every ten days, and there is an emperor above each day, ruling one Qi.

The merits and demerits of the celestial beings, gods and ghosts are handed over to this heaven for review. Those who have made merits are listed in this heaven, and those who have committed demerits are imprisoned in this heavenly prison.

From this we can know that each of the thirty-six heavens has a prison to imprison the gods and ghosts who violate the laws of heaven.

However, no matter which heavenly prison it is, the prisoners held there include many ferocious and powerful ones, including ancient evil demons and gods. Ordinary immortals and gods are not qualified to be thrown into the heavenly prison.

This is because there are many powerful beings imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison.

Therefore, the Heavenly Court also attaches great importance to the guarding of the Heavenly Prison.

For example, the Heavenly Prison in Daluo Heaven not only has twelve gods on duty in turn, but also the divine beasts Suanni and Bi'an guarding here, and all those imprisoned there are serious criminals from the Three Realms.

Other things such as prohibitions, formations, treasures, etc. are even more indispensable.

There is even a legend that the Heavenly Prison in Heaven itself is an innate Taoist weapon with infinite power that can suppress all demons. Even if a powerful Hunyuan warrior is thrown into the Heavenly Prison, he cannot escape.

This is also the reason why the predecessor would rather fight to the death than surrender when being hunted by the gods in heaven.

Because the predecessor knew very well that once he was imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison, there would be no possibility of escape.

"This is a restricted area of the Heavenly Prison. Anyone coming here should stop!"

As soon as Niu Jun appeared in front of the Sky Prison, an extremely cold voice sounded in his ears.

It was a Xuanxian-level Heavenly Prison guard who spoke coldly.

"The Great Celestial Lord has issued an amnesty order, pardoning the crimes of the three demons, the Lion King, the Monkey King, and the Ape King. The three demons can be released from the prison!"

Niu Jun raised his hand, and a pardon order flew out of his hand and landed in front of the leading Tianlao guard.

The guard carefully checked the pardon order of the Great Heavenly Lord, and after confirming that it was correct, a slight relaxation finally appeared on his cold face.

"Please wait for a moment. I will report this to the God of Destiny!"

After saying that, without waiting for Niu Jun to speak, the guard entered the Heavenly Prison with the pardon order.

The God of Life he mentioned is one of the twelve gods guarding the Heavenly Prison.

In order to escort and release prisoners in the Heavenly Prison, in addition to the pardon order from the Great Heavenly Venerable or the pardon order from the Ministry of Thunder, the approval of the Twelve Gods is also required.

In addition, even if the Four Emperors came in person, they had no right to take the prisoners of the Heavenly Prison away.

"I didn't expect that it was the All-Faith Supreme who was here in person. I'm sorry for not coming to greet you in person. I hope the Supreme will forgive me!"

Not long after the prison guards left with the pardon order, the prison door opened again, and the God of Life, wearing black armor, walked out quickly and bowed to Niu Jun.

"Ignorance is not a crime. Please ask the God of Destiny to check the Great Celestial Lord's pardon order. I want to extract the three monsters, the Lion King, the Monkey King, and the Ape King."

Niu Jun's face showed no joy or sadness, as if he was talking about a commonplace matter.

Upon hearing this, the God of Destiny said hurriedly, "Please wait for a moment, Lord Wanfa. I have sent people to bring back the three demons, the Lion King, the Monkey King, and the Ape King."

As the god on duty guarding the Heavenly Prison.

The God of Destiny can naturally distinguish the authenticity of the pardon decree of the Great Heavenly Lord.

Moreover, although he did not attend today's grand court meeting, he also received the news of Niu Jun's canonization and had seen the image of Niu Jun, the Nine Heavens Mysterious Origin Great Power and All-Faced Heavenly Venerable.

Therefore, the God of Destiny was not worried that there would be any problems if he handed over the three monsters, the Lion King, the Monkey King, and the Ape King, to Niu Jun.

Niu Jun nodded when he heard this and said calmly, "Thank you for your help, God of Destiny!"

Chapter 66 Who isn’t an actor? Conquer the Three Saints!

To several sworn brothers from my previous life.

Although Niu Jun had no emotions, he couldn't just sit there and let them be locked up in the prison.

After all, the character of the predecessor, Bull Demon King, was one of righteousness and justice.

You can't just enjoy a good life outside while your brothers suffer in prison, right?

If he really does nothing about it, the character of his predecessor will collapse. When others talk about him, they might say behind his back that he is heartless and ungrateful.

It’s not that Niu Jun cares about these false reputations.

A good reputation is always better than a bad reputation. It only takes a few words to plead for the three demons, the Lion King, the Yurong King, and the Monkey King. It is a benefit without any cost, so why not do it?

And Niu Jun also has the idea of ​​subduing the three monsters for his own use.

Because according to the unspoken rules of the Journey to the West world, after one has attained the Dao of Hunyuan Taiyi, one cannot act arbitrarily or bully the weak unless it is necessary.

The three demons, the Lion King, the Yule King and the Monkey King, were quite powerful and had not committed many evil deeds. They were thrown into the Heavenly Prison by the Heavenly Court purely because of Sun Wukong.

If I can subdue the three monsters, then whenever I encounter any problems in the future, I will have two people at my disposal and won't be in a situation where I have no one to use.

So after comprehensive consideration, Niu Jun decided to come to the Tianlao in person to pick someone up.

……

The three demons were taken out of the prison by the God of Destiny.

Niu Jun looked at the three huge monsters in front of him with hunched bodies, haggard expressions, and lifeless eyes, and he couldn't help but feel a lot of emotions in his heart.

Recalling the past, when the seven great sages swore brotherhood in the Flower-Fruit Mountain, how high-spirited and ambitious they were?

Sigh, now, when I see old friends, they laugh at you and me with affection, and I no longer have the heroic spirit.

It’s right to think about it!

What heroism, what brotherhood.

Three sticks will extinguish the heroic spirit, and ten sticks will all be the name of brothers!

Once inside this prison in heaven, even the real dragons would say they were little caterpillars, and the phoenix would say they were just chickens. It was impossible for them to be strong and unruly.

Six sticks per second is the limit of the iron rod in my hand, not the limit of my loyalty.

The so-called mountains of knives and seas of fire, cutting off the tongue in an oil pan, the ten major tortures, etc., are nothing but child's play in front of the real heavenly prison.

Otherwise, where do you think those dragon livers and phoenix marrows, bear paws and ape lips, and other delicacies in the black market of heaven come from?

The Heavenly Palace doesn’t keep idle people, and the Heavenly Prison doesn’t keep idle people even more!

Niu Jun looked at the three saints who looked extremely haggard, and immediately stepped forward to greet them. Tears rolled down his tiger eyes, and he said with self-blame: "The three brothers are suffering, it's because I came too late!"

Don't ask where the tears come from.

Who isn’t an actor if you’re out there?

King Lion and King Yurong were a little confused and didn't recognize who the person in front of them was.

On the contrary, the Monkey King, who was unpredictable and extremely clever, heard Niu Jun's affectionate words and called out tentatively with some doubt: "Brother?"

"Why, after only three hundred years of not seeing you, Fifth Brother, you don't recognize me, Old Cow?"

Niu Jun was not surprised by the reactions of the three saints.

After all, before the Seven Great Sages became sworn brothers, they were all strangers to each other, and they were just drinking buddies with Sun Wukong. How deep of a friendship can there be between two drinking buddies of other drinking buddies?

Less than half a year after the seven great sages became sworn brothers, Sun Wukong caused havoc in Heaven, and the other six demons were also deeply implicated. They never met each other again.

In other words, the predecessor Bull Demon King and these six sworn brothers had only met or drank together a few times.

After not seeing him for three hundred years, it would be strange if the three demons could recognize him at a glance.

Just like in the original novel, when the Bull Demon King saw Sun Wukong, didn’t he also fail to recognize the Monkey King?

The so-called sworn brothers were not taken seriously by the Bull Demon King at all.

Fifth brother, Lao Niu?

When King Lion Camel and King Yurong heard Niu Jun speak, they immediately reacted and knew who was the noble person who rescued them from the Heavenly Prison. They immediately shouted in unison with eager eyes.

"Eldest brother!"

"Eldest brother!"

"Eldest brother!"

The Monkey King at the side was not willing to be outdone, and shouted with eager eyes.

"Haha, no need to be polite, brothers. I have already arranged a banquet. You three should follow me to my mansion for a gathering. We brothers will not return until we are drunk today!"

Seeing that the three saints were tactful, Niu Jun also spoke in a heroic manner.

After saying this, he took the three saints to his own Tianzun Immortal Palace.
