Myths and Dharma, starting from Erlang Shen

"What do you think, Master Zhen, Miss Guan?"

Taibai Jinxing looked at Ji Ren and the other two with eager eyes.

Overall, this is a win-win situation for everyone.

After all, you were destined to fight with Jiejiao in this calamity, it's just a little earlier.

If you have any complaints, speak up and we can talk.

"The Great Celestial Lord is the common ruler of the three realms. As the saying goes, all under heaven belongs to the king, and all within the four seas are the king's subjects. Yan'er should have served him till death." Ji Ren said in an impassioned tone.

"Miss Guan, do you have any concerns?" Taibai Jinxing immediately asked. As a veteran in the heavenly court, how could he not know these rhetoric techniques?

This is how it should be, which means there are variables.

Just like the phrase "not allowed in principle", the reality is another matter.

"What is the real situation of the three realms, doesn't Star Lord know? Now that Jiejiao has taken action at Guanjiangkou, it is a deliberate plan. If we block them at Guanjiangkou, we will have to confront Jiejiao. Star Lord also knows the current situation. They have found the inheritor of King Zhou's Dharma image, and now the luck of the first half of the catastrophe is on them. What we should do now is to temporarily avoid the sharp edge. Of course, if it is just like this, it will be fine. Yan'er only has the country in his heart and is willing to sacrifice his life for the people. But if Yan'er goes to Guanjiang, will he really only face demons?" Ji Ren asked.

"Right now, the most urgent task is to face the demons." Taibai Jinxing said.

"Everything is prepared, and the lack of preparation leads to failure. Now we are facing the demons, but what about the future? Should we take the initiative to slay the demons? Then should we go to other rivers and come into contact with colleagues? How should we respond then?"

"Nominally, all water gods in the world are under the control of the Water Department of Heaven. But you and I both know the actual situation. Wherever there is water, there must be dragons. Within the Zhoutian, not to mention the five lakes and four seas, the four rivers and waters, there are also dragon kings in some wells, and there are also many dragon kings of the fourth rank. They have the right to command Yan'er. How should Yan'er deal with it then?

"Jin Xing knows the current situation of the Dragon Clan better than I do. Tiger-like opponents are scary, but stupid colleagues like pigs are even more troublesome. And if a boss has ulterior motives and pretends to be like a pig, but actually has the heart of a tiger or wolf, then it will be a catastrophic disaster.

"And what if these water monsters flee all the way and escape to other water god caves? Can Yan'er just go in and search? What if they are set up by someone and violate the heavenly rules?

"It's unlikely that the Heavenly Court will be so angry that they will build a mountain to crush Yan'er and then ask me to find an axe to chop her up."

Ji Ren looked at Taibai Jinxing and said.

"Not really, really." Taibai Jinxing said hurriedly.

Erlang Shen split the mountain to save his mother, but in your case, would it be splitting the mountain to save his wife?

"Naturally, I don't want this to happen, so I had a good talk with Jinxing. You see, Yan'er, you are young, the daughter of a general, your mind is pure, and you know nothing about politics. If you come into contact with other immortals, won't you be easily plotted against?" Ji Ren said to Taibai Jinxing, waving his hand from top to bottom, which involuntarily attracted Taibai Jinxing's attention.

Taibai Jinxing took a quick look and nodded silently. Indeed, people like this who are young and simple in character are easy to be deceived.

“If the superior forces an order down, disobeying it is disobeying the superior. If you obey it and plot something, it is disobeying the Heavenly Rules. At that time, if the Heavenly Court tolerates her, then where is the majesty of the Heavenly Rules? If it does not tolerate her, then I will certainly not be able to sit idly by. You said that at that time, the personal safety of Yan'er and I will be a small matter, but destroying the relationship between the Chan Sect and the Heavenly Court will be a big matter.” Ji Ren said.

Taibai Jinxing thought to himself, this makes sense, it is indeed a problem.

As the Jade Emperor's confidant, Taibai Jinxing is well aware of what's going on in the Heavenly Court officialdom, and those people from Jiejiao will definitely be calculating.

And it is indeed possible that Guan Yan was plotted against.

But being an official means rewards, but there are also costs and risks.

Besides, with Ji Ren here, as long as he doesn't break any major rules when entering the Heavenly Palace, Guan Yan can punish himself with three cups of wine for any minor violations.

It's not as serious as Ji Ren said.

But it’s hard to say these things, after all, these things cannot be said openly.

He is a close confidant of the Jade Emperor and does not respect the Heavenly Rules. What will happen if this gets out?

"It's not that we don't want to, it's just that we can't." Ji Ren said.

"Then how do you think we can dispel these worries?" Taibai Jinxing asked again, waiting for Ji Ren's conditions.

Ji Ren's reasons for not going seem to be very sufficient, but if a person really doesn't want to go, he won't explain so much to you.

Having said so much, I'm not rejecting you, but bargaining. I'm saying that my life is not easy, so I'd like to know what price you want to pay so that I can go with peace of mind.

"I want to make three rules with Xingjun." Ji Ren said.

"Please speak, Master." Taibai Jinxing said.

"It's very simple. First, although Yan'er is a fifth-rank water god, he only obeys the orders of the Great Heavenly Venerable, and he only listens to orders and not announcements. He is not sent by any other immortals or gods." Ji Ren said.

"Yes." Taibai Jinxing agreed without hesitation. This was not a problem.

After all, in the Jade Emperor's plan, Guan Yan was just a cover, the real key was Ji Ren, and it was impossible to expect Ji Ren to be really obedient.

"Secondly, in addition to the water god, the spiritual officer is given the duty of inspection. He has the right to cross the border and kill demons and even water gods, and he can kill first and report later." Ji Ren continued.

Taibai Jinxing narrowed his eyes and said, "That's fine."

“Third, as the God of Water, you can recruit immortals and gods into the Water Palace on your own.” Ji Ren said.

“The Water God can appoint and dismiss two sixth-rank immortals, Gongcao and Xiaowei, and eight hundred shrimp soldiers and crab generals.” Taibai Jinxing said.

They obey orders but not announcements, execute first and report later, and conquer on their own. This is Chengguo China.

However, it is acceptable.

After all, this place was originally intended to be sold to Ji Ren, but now it is just sold to Ji Ren and his Taoist partner, so there is not much difference.

"Three thousand soldiers." Ji Ren said.

Although he can expand it on his own and Heaven will not care about him, he can still ask Heaven for 3,000 staff and use Heaven's money.

"True Lord, according to common sense, there are only three hundred in the water of Guanjiang River. Eight hundred has already taken into account special circumstances. Are three thousand too many?" Taibai Jinxing said.

Even the legendary first generation Erlang Shen only had twelve hundred grass-headed gods. Where did you get these three thousand?

"Three thousand people, three conditions, no refunds. If the Star Lord doesn't want to, then we can only temporarily avoid the limelight." Ji Ren said.

It is better to say the ugly things first so that the subsequent things can be done justified.

Ji Ren is a person who definitely doesn't follow the rules.

If Guan Yan followed him without some amulets, she would not know where to cry if the Heavenly Court turned against her.

Taibai Jinxing showed a trace of confusion on his face, but soon he said firmly: "Okay."

That’s fine, three thousand people, not a big deal.

It's just breaking the rules, but since it's the Chan sect, we can make exceptions.

"In that case, thank you, Xingjun." Ji Ren said.

"I should thank you, Master."

Although the process was more difficult than expected, it was finally resolved. Taibai Jinxing still had a smile on his face. He immediately looked at Guan Yan, and a golden light flashed in his hand. An imperial edict appeared in his hand, and he said, "Guan Yan, accept the edict."

Guan Yan immediately showed an expression of respect. After all, it was an imperial edict, but this edict felt a bit casual.

After Taibai Jinxing finished reading, he waved his hand and a golden light descended from the sky and landed on Guan Yan. Guan Yan's clothes changed, and the red dress was replaced by the official uniform of the Water God, and there was an official seal in his hand.

"The decree has been announced, and it's time for me to leave. But True Lord, the immortals of the Jiejiao have ill intentions towards you, and I'm afraid they will attack your people in Guanjiangkou, so you must prepare early." Taibai Jinxing looked at Ji Ren and said before leaving.

"Thank you Venus for your concern. Since they are coming, they can all stay." Ji Ren said. He was a little bored staying in this secret place. It was a good time to change places and start killing.

Besides, do these people really think that he is not prepared at all?

Even if you don't believe him, you should believe in his master, Jade Ding Zhenren.

Before Jade Ding Zhenren went into seclusion, he did not leave any instructions at all.

This action should be the work of the idiot immortal Ma Sui. Now is not the right time. Sooner or later, he will be beaten to death.
