239 Return to Heaven(1/2)
A dozen rays of golden light flashed by, and a dozen figures were seen revealing their true bodies, floating above the capital without any concealment.
With such momentum, it was impossible for the people in the capital not to pay attention.
Countless people knelt on the ground and knelt down to worship the meritorious officials on duty, the Five Sacred Emperors and Beidou Qiyuan.
And this also made Shi Zhongkui's several days of preparation useless.
But there are advantages to this.
From now on, no one in the entire Great Zhou Dynasty will dare to do harm to Baochai and others.
Holding a copy of Minghuang's imperial edict on duty, he shouted loudly below, "Shi Zhongkui of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Jade Emperor wants you to have perfect merits and recruits you to return to heaven as an official. Why don't you show up soon?"
Shi Zhongkui hurriedly walked out of the house and raised the auspicious clouds to more than thirty meters in the air.
He saluted the meritorious officer and others on duty and said, "Shi Zhongkui, the lower official, has met the meritorious officer, the five emperors and the star monarchs."
Countless people below saw that the person who appeared was really Shi Zhongkui, and the whole capital became noisy.
Many people saw that he could fly into the sky on clouds, and while kneeling in worship, they actually shouted the words "Blessed by Liu Yuan Gong".
And everyone who knew Shi Zhongkui was thinking, "It's been so hard for this guy to keep this secret from me for so many years."
Even Baochai, Yingchun and other eight women had similar thoughts.
There was talk of retreat before, but now it seems that retreat means that one has completed his merits and will ascend to heaven.
"Ms. sir, do you want to abandon me and wait for others?"
Shi Zhongkui, who was in the sky, looked back and saw the boldest third sister, You Sanjie, looking at him with a worried expression on her face.
When Baochai, Yingchun and the other seven people heard this, their hearts ached and they stopped crying.
Shi Zhongkui was also filled with reluctance, but he also knew that he could not delay at this time.
He shouted to the people below, "Shut up, this is the Jade Emperor's imperial edict coming in person, how can it be inappropriate to cry and cry. Besides, I have my own arrangements for my husband, so I don't need you to worry about me."
Shi Zhongkui always kept his word at home, and after hearing him say that he had his own arrangements, the eight women naturally did not dare to cry anymore.
Shi Zhongkui confessed to Xingjun and others, "My lords, please forgive me. I have never dared to reveal my identity since I came down to earth.
And in order to personally experience the sufferings of the human world, even his family members did not reveal that he was serving in heaven, which led to such a joke."
Shi Zhongkui did not say that he did not control his wife and concubines well, but attributed the problem to concealing his identity. It immediately appeared that he knew the seriousness and was very strict with his words.
It is hard for the Five Mountains Emperor and others to blame Baochai and others.
Emperor Wenchang waved his hand, "It doesn't matter. It is human nature for the female relatives in your house to be in such a sad state."
After finishing speaking, he looked at the meritorious officer on duty and said, "Proclaimer, why don't you quickly read out His Majesty's decree?"
"Yes, yes", the meritorious officer on duty hurriedly opened the imperial edict and read it loudly.
Countless people in the capital were dumbfounded when they heard that Shi Zhongkui had gone to heaven to become the Imperial Horse Supervisor.
During the Han Dynasty, the imperial horse supervisor could only be taken over by ministers close to the emperor, but they were responsible for driving carriages for the emperor.
In the Great Zhou Dynasty and Qianchen Dynasty, in addition to raising horses, the Yumajian also controlled tens of thousands of elite troops. It was the only army that the emperor could truly control.
Therefore, although the power of the Yuma Jian is not comparable to that of the Cabinet, the Six Ministers and the Minister, he is still a real confidant.
When countless people in the capital heard that the Jade Emperor personally issued an order to put Shi Zhongkui in charge of the Royal Horse Prison of Heaven, countless people instantly mistakenly thought that Shi Zhongkui was also the Jade Emperor's confidant.
Naturally, the power will not be small.
Besides, I didn’t see that there were more than a dozen immortal officials descending to earth together when the edict was announced?
Baochai, Yingchun and the six prospective concubines could not care less about their worries now, their hearts were full of pride and excitement.
My husband is going to heaven to become a high official. Isn't it easy for him to take his wife and concubines with him?
The Taoist priests of Xuanqing Dao were equally excited.
The secret master is very discerning. Not even half a month after joining the apprenticeship, the two junior apprentices helped him to hook up with the big boss in heaven.
From now on, if a little benefit leaks out from under the fingernails, it will be enough for the teacher to climb several levels.
The happiest ones are of course the Xue family and the Jia family.
My young lady is the wife that my uncle is marrying. In the future, my young lady will go to heaven to become a fairy, and my young master will be able to hold an official position in heaven even if he can't save his life.
Even if you can't go to heaven, it's enough to protect your family's wealth for several generations, dozens or even dozens of generations.
As for the Xiuyi Guards and the eunuchs at Longshou Palace, they wished they could kneel in front of Shi Zhongkui and call him 'ancestor'.
After Shi Zhongkui saluted and received the Jade Emperor's imperial edict, he tentatively asked the meritorious officer on duty, "Sir, can I return to heaven with my family members?"
The meritorious officer on duty, the Great Emperor of the Five Sacred Mountains, and Big Dipper laughed after hearing this.
Emperor Wenchang took the initiative again and said, "If things continue as usual, with your merits and virtues, if you are willing to use your merits and luck to benefit your family, you can naturally take them back to heaven with you.
But as the heavenly court conquers Nabi Mawen, it is an eventful time.
It's better to do less than to do more. Let's wait until we catch the monkey head."
Shi Zhongkui secretly thought that it would be difficult to handle now.
Emperor Wenchang and others, as well as everyone else in Heaven, no one thought it was that difficult to catch a monkey.
But he knew that although there were many big men in heaven who were much more powerful than Monkey, many of the big men's mounts could even beat Monkey and lose his temper.
But there are not many people who are really willing to help the Jade Emperor fight.
And the Jade Emperor himself didn't think that King Tota and his army would be unable to subdue Monkey.
Shi Zhongkui sighed helplessly in his heart, and then thought that fortunately the flow of time in this world was the same as in heaven, and he wouldn't waste much time if he went up first, so he thanked Emperor Wenchang and others with peace of mind.
"My lords, please wait a moment. I will go and say goodbye to my relatives at home. I will give you a few words of advice before returning to heaven with my lords."
The immortal officials who had just received the benefits a few days ago naturally didn't care to wait a little longer.
Shi Zhongkui pressed the cloud head and appeared in front of Baochai and others.
The eight wives didn't care about etiquette, they all surrounded him and grabbed his arms and clothes.
Moreover, all of them had tears stains and stared at him pitifully.
Without thinking, Shi Zhongkui diverted his attention and said, "I thought it would take thirty or fifty years for me to come down to earth this time, but I didn't expect that something happened in the sky, and I needed to send troops to conquer a demon king in the immortal world, so I rushed to recruit him."
I'll go back."
When Baochai and others heard that there was going to be a war, they naturally became worried.
Shi Zhongkui smiled and waved his hand, "Don't worry. Although I am in charge of the Royal Horse Supervisor, I am only a minor official. There is no need for me to conquer the monkey."
Baochai and the others naturally didn't believe it, secretly thinking that Xianggong must be comforting himself and others.
Shi Zhongkui continued, "It's just that since there is a war, taking you to heaven together will have to be postponed for a while."
"Ms. Gong, I heard that one day in heaven and one year on earth," Baochai asked eagerly, "by the time you come back, I will already be a yellow-faced woman, and even reincarnated."
Yingchun and others felt nervous, Shi Zhongkui said with a smile, "This world is a little different, time is the same as in heaven.
As short as three to five months, as long as three to five years, even if my husband cannot take you to heaven to reunite, he will find a way to come back and meet you.
And to be honest, heaven is not necessarily better than here.
Not only are there many rules, but you have to work hard every day, and you don’t even have the chance to visit relatives, so how can you feel free and at ease here.”
The young and old wives immediately rolled their eyes at Shi Zhongkui, but they inevitably had worries and confused thoughts in their hearts.
A few timid ones such as Yingchun, Second Sister You, Xiangling and Pearl began to retreat.
"My lord, as long as you can come back to see us from time to time, I will be willing not to go to heaven."
If there weren't more than a dozen people watching from the sky, Shi Zhongkui almost wanted to hold Yingchun in his arms and kiss her a few times.
"Okay, the dozen or so adults who announced the decree and welcomed me back are all waiting for me to come back as soon as possible for my husband, or to take you to heaven."
After saying that, he pressed the cloud head and flew into the sky. Under the leadership of the twelve immortal officials, he set up the auspicious clouds and flew higher and higher, and suddenly disappeared.
While countless people in the underground knelt down and worshiped, Baochai, Yingchun and others burst into tears.
Shouting, "Ms. sir, I and the others are waiting for you to come back."
It's a pity that Shi Zhongkui couldn't hear it for a long time.
------
When Shi Zhongkui opened his eyes, he found that he appeared in the Shengxian Pond for the second time.
The first thought in my mind was to control the speed of the space farm and absorb spiritual energy.
To prevent others from seeing the problem.
He glanced around and soon saw Zhao Gongcao, Chen Dianbo and a group of heavenly soldiers and generals responsible for guarding the Shengxian Pond and the Reincarnation Pond.
But this time, the eyes of this group of people no longer looked at me with indifference, but with smiling faces.
Before Shi Zhongkui could speak, the official list of heavenly officials appeared out of thin air. As soon as his real physical body appeared, it merged with his current physical body.
Shi Zhongkui gave up the appearance of his previous life without even thinking about it. When his body transformed into the body of a fairy spirit in the Shengxian Pond, the physical body of his previous life also slowly disappeared.
As long as the soul is still one's own, there will naturally be no problem, not to mention that it has been tempered by the Shengxian Pond, which is equivalent to recasting the body.
