Journey to the West: Tang Monk Conquers Everything-Chapter 1506: 1504: Monkey Brother, Let’s Follow Procedure
Capítulo 1506: Chapter 1504: Monkey Brother, Let’s Follow Procedure
In front of the South Heavenly Gate, it was deserted!
A Heavenly Soldier sitting at the entrance of the South Heavenly Gate secretly took a couple of sips of wine, feeling utterly refreshed!
In the past, drinking at the South Heavenly Gate? Wouldn’t that be courting death?
With so many deities coming and going, if someone caught you, you’d surely have to take a trip to the Immortal Slaying Stage!
But now? The Jade Emperor directly announced to the three realms and six paths that the Heavenly Court was closed, so naturally, the South Heavenly Gate was closed too, with no one coming in or out!
Naturally, guarding the gate became just a formality!
Secretly taking a couple of sips of wine was naturally no big deal!
“Hey, what are you doing?” Just then, a voice suddenly shouted, nearly causing the Heavenly Soldier to drop the bottle of wine in his hand!
Looking toward the sound, it was another Heavenly Soldier coming over, the person here to change shifts!
“Phew, you nearly scared me to death with that sudden shout!”
The Heavenly Soldier, with a look of relief after surviving a near-death experience, said gratefully!
“Hmph, daring to secretly drink on duty at the South Heavenly Gate? Do you want me to report this and have you take a trip to the Immortal Slaying Stage?”
This approaching Heavenly Soldier, looking as if he’d caught the other in the act, said!
“You’re talking about me?”
However, the Heavenly Soldier caught drinking wasn’t intimidated at all and said, “Not long ago, when you were on duty, I saw you dozing off! I just didn’t wake you up!”
“What? Are you planning to go down with me?”
“Hahaha, just kidding, just kidding, now that we’re just decorations guarding the South Heavenly Gate, sneaking a little drink or a nap isn’t a big deal!”
“Yes, that’s right!” Hearing this, the drinking Heavenly Soldier leisurely put away the bottle!
“Wait a minute, anyway, now that there’s nothing to do, why don’t we have a few drinks together?”
Seeing the Heavenly Soldier putting the bottle away, the newcomer opened his mouth to ask!
“Well, okay, since drinking alone isn’t much fun anyway!”
Hearing this, the drinking Heavenly Soldier thought for a moment and then nodded in agreement!
As soon as he finished speaking, he took out two more wine cups!
The two Heavenly Soldiers boldly sat down at the entrance of the South Heavenly Gate!
“Wow, you two, drinking on duty!” But just as the two of them had just sat down, suddenly a voice rang out!
Outside the barrier of the South Heavenly Gate’s great protective formation, a tall and a short figure approached!
The tall figure was naturally Zhu Bajie, over two meters tall, with a portly, plump figure, like a giant, towering over ordinary people!
And Sun Wukong? Just about 1.4 meters tall, limping as he walked, making him seem even shorter!
Plus, the monkey himself was already thin and bony, so compared to Zhu Bajie, Sun Wukong was less noticeable!
However, seeing Zhu Bajie and Sun Wukong appear, the two Heavenly Soldiers turned pale with fright! They understood that Sun Wukong was the more terrifying of the two!
“Great Sage, Marshal, you are…”
Silently putting away their wine vessels, with both surprise and fear, the two guarding Heavenly Soldiers quickly asked Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie who had appeared!
“No big deal, just the two of us brothers wanting to enter the South Heavenly Gate, open the door for us!”
Sun Wukong spoke with a calm appearance!
“This, Great Sage, now the Emperor has already sealed the entire Heavenly Court…” Hearing Sun Wukong’s words, the Heavenly Soldiers guarding the South Heavenly Gate looked troubled!
Everyone knew the reason the Jade Emperor sealed the South Heavenly Gate was because the Journey to the West team led the Ming Sect in a declaration of war, leading to this result!
In the great battle, countless Heavenly Soldiers and Generals perished at the hands of the Journey to the West Pilgrimage Team!
And now, Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie wanted to enter the South Heavenly Gate?
These two Heavenly Soldiers and Generals certainly couldn’t make such a decision!
“Hmph, is that so? So you’re saying you’re not letting us in?”
With the intention of making trouble, hearing this response from the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals, Sun Wukong’s face darkened!
At the same time, he raised the Jingu Bang in his hand, clearly prepared to take action!
Back then, the protective formation of the South Heavenly Gate had already been smashed once under Sun Wukong’s Jingu Bang. Seeing Sun Wukong raise the Jingu Bang again, the two Heavenly Soldiers showed expressions of horror!
“Monkey Brother, wait…”
Zhu Bajie, standing by and seeing Sun Wukong’s impatient demeanor, couldn’t help but call out!
Even if we came to make trouble, we still have to follow the necessary procedure, right?
Otherwise, it’d be acting without reason, right?
“Hey, you two!”
After blocking Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie looked at the two Heavenly Soldiers guarding the South Heavenly Gate and said, “I, Old Pig, am here to reclaim my Gold Body from back in the day, so please, I ask you two to allow it!”
“Marshal, please wait for a moment, we will go report to His Majesty the Jade Emperor and let him make the decision!”
Seeing Sun Wukong’s Jingu Bang finally come to a halt, the two Heavenly Soldiers breathed a slight sigh of relief!
Hearing Zhu Bajie’s reason for wanting to enter the Heavenly Court, one of the Heavenly Soldiers thought for a moment and then spoke up!
This matter, indeed, is not something a mere Heavenly Soldier can decide!
If that’s the case, then let’s go report to His Majesty the Jade Emperor and let him decide!
“Very well!” Hearing this Heavenly Soldier’s words, Zhu Bajie thought for a moment and nodded in agreement!
Immediately, one Heavenly Soldier continued to stand guard by the South Heavenly Gate, visibly nervous and fearful!
Even though I am inside the South Heavenly Gate and Zhu Bajie and Sun Wukong are outside with the South Heavenly Gate closed and protected by a Defensive Formation,
this Defensive Formation gives me no sense of security at all!
The other Heavenly Soldier then turned and headed to the Jade Emperor’s palace to report the matter!
“Your Majesty! I have something very important to report!”
Arriving at the Jade Emperor’s palace, the Heavenly Soldier knelt down, shouting loudly as he did so!
“Come in!” After the Heavenly Soldier’s shout, there was a moment of silence before the voice of the Jade Emperor resounded!
Immediately, the Heavenly Soldier entered the palace and knelt down again in front of the Jade Emperor!
“I remember your duty is to guard the South Heavenly Gate, right? Why has the Tathagata sent you here?”
Unlike usual, today the Jade Emperor was casually dressed, sitting at a table and leisurely pouring himself a cup of wine as he looked at the Heavenly Soldier and asked!
“Your Majesty, indeed, I am the Heavenly Soldier stationed at the South Heavenly Gate. I am here because Qi, uh, Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie have arrived at the South Heavenly Gate, saying they wish to enter the Heavenly Court. I dare not make the decision, so I have come to report to Your Majesty!”
“The two of them want to enter the South Heavenly Gate!” The Jade Emperor’s hand paused slightly as he poured himself a glass of wine and put the cup down!
The Jade Emperor frowned tightly, reflexively wanting to tell them to scram!
Now that I have isolated the entire Heavenly Court, I, once the master of the Three Realms, have fallen to such a state, why would Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie still come here?
No matter the reason, I certainly do not welcome them!
However, just as he was about to utter the words of refusal, the Jade Emperor found himself unable to voice it!
The Jade Emperor’s mind reflexively recalled what the Hongjun Ancestor had said to him before in the Void Realm!
The reason I’ve fallen to such dire straits is for opposing Xuanzang!
So, under no circumstances should I oppose Xuanzang — this is a principle the Jade Emperor has set for himself!
Of course, the Jade Emperor knows about the recent news of the Saint’s fall!
And as time passed, the Jade Emperor came to know that it was Zhunti who fell!
But why did Zhunti fall? In the Jade Emperor’s view, it’s because Zhunti seized the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation Diagram from Xuanzang, thus falling from sainthood!
Even a Saint cannot oppose Xuanzang. Having reached this point today, do I still wish to go against Xuanzang?
Although it’s just Zhu Bajie and Sun Wukong who have come, not Xuanzang himself!
But as Xuanzang’s disciples, who knows if they have come on an important mission given by Xuanzang?
At this thought, the words of refusal were swallowed back, and the Jade Emperor asked, “Why have the two come to the Heavenly Court? Do you know their purpose?”
“Reporting to Your Majesty, Zhu Bajie said that his Gold Body was left in the Heavenly River Water Mansion in the past, and today’s purpose is to reclaim his Gold Body!”
Upon hearing this, the Heavenly Soldier replied!
“To reclaim his Gold Body? This reason seems fair and reasonable!” Upon hearing this, the Jade Emperor quietly nodded in agreement!
Moreover, at this point, the Jade Emperor thought it’s still wise to give Sun Wukong some face!
After all, not long ago, Sun Wukong’s cultivation level broke through to the Quasi-Saint level, which is no secret anymore!
Though he’s just entered the Quasi-Saint level, it’s still an upright Quasi-Saint Cultivation Level! Naturally, the Jade Emperor should give some respect!
With this in mind, the Jade Emperor immediately said, “In that case, you may invite them in! Let Zhu Bajie retrieve his Gold Body and leave promptly!”
“By Your Majesty’s command!” Listening to the Jade Emperor’s words, and surprisingly allowing Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie to enter, the Heavenly Soldier was secretly shocked, bowed his head in reply, and then left!
At this time, at the South Heavenly Gate, Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie were waiting!
The other Heavenly Soldier’s face was full of apprehension and terror!
His companion went to report to the Jade Emperor, and in his view, it’s impossible for the Jade Emperor to agree to let them in!
And if the Jade Emperor’s refusal were to come, with Sun Wukong’s nature, there’s a strong possibility he might forcefully break in!
What should I do then?
I can’t stop them, and if the Jade Emperor gets angry and holds me accountable, wouldn’t I be doomed?
However, the Heavenly Soldier who went to ask quickly returned: “Great Sage, Marshal, you may enter, the Jade Emperor has agreed to let you in!”
