The King of Qin's palace was in a mess. The Queen Mother was unconscious, and the King of Qin had lost all his face. The ministers and aristocratic families were hesitant. Looking at the fallen armors and the injured guards, the King of Qin was both fearful and angry. A moment later, a personal guard came to report, "Your Majesty, the monkey scattered the soldiers who came to stop him and injured several of the generals who went to stop him. He left towards the west gate!"
"Trash!" The King of Qin roared.
He suddenly stood up and was about to slap the personal guard. However, his gaze swept across the expressions of the group of guards below and he stopped. Although the King of Qin was muddle-headed, he was abnormally clear-headed when it came to political struggles. He realized that this incident had greatly damaged his prestige. If there was another mutiny, the Qin Kingdom would have to change to a different king!
He stopped raising his hand and slowly retracted it. In a low voice, he said, "Fine! The demon's demonic techniques are powerful. Although you are loyal and brave, you are just ordinary people. You can't do anything to him, so you can't be blamed. "
The King of Qin glanced at Ti Fangshi, who was paralyzed on the ground. An ominous glint flashed in his eyes.
He gritted his teeth and said coldly, "Tie up that evil villain!" He pointed at Ti Fangshi. The surrounding guards didn't dare to disobey. They pounced on Ti Fangshi like wolves and tigers. They grabbed Ti Fangshi's arm and dragged him to the King of Qin. Only then did Ti Fangshi regain his senses. He was terrified. The King of Qin took out his sword and pointed it at Ti Fangshi's head. He said coldly, "I will kill you …"
"Your Majesty, stop!" Ti Fangshi shouted, "Are you going to admit defeat just like that?"
The King of Qin's hand paused. Ti Fangshi seemed to have grasped onto a life-saving straw. He hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, although I deserve to die a thousand times, that despicable monkey demon humiliated Your Majesty like this. He humiliated the emperor and ministers of Qin Kingdom in this magnificent palace. Are we just going to let this matter go? A warrior can be killed but not humiliated. Such a deep hatred can be avenged in nine lifetimes! Although I deserve to die a thousand times, if you kill me and forget the main culprit, the monkey demon, how will the people of Qin view Your Majesty? "
"Then tell me …" The King of Qin said fiercely, "What should I do?"
"Your Majesty, please spare my life. I will use this crippled body to eliminate the demon for Your Majesty!" Ti Fangshi knelt down and said, "Even though that demon monkey's magic power is extraordinary and his supernatural powers are powerful, he has already offended the Thunder God of the Upper Realm. I have two sworn brothers who have extraordinary martial arts skills. With the help of the deities from the Upper Realm, we will definitely be able to bring back that demon monkey's head and hang it in the hall to avenge the king!"
"Alright!" The Qin Emperor pointed his sword at Di Fangshi and said, "Bring back the demon monkey's head, and I will pardon you for your great crime. I will bestow you with five hundred households. If you don't come back, just wait for your corpse to be dismembered by five horses!"
Di Fangshi hastily issued a military order and reported to the King of Qin: "I am a lowly lowly person. My humble words cannot reach the ears of the Heavens. I ask that Your Majesty tell me!" He then set up a stage to have the King of Qin write a yellow letter to inform the Thunder God of the Ninth Heaven, Universal Lord Heavenly Lord. Di Fangshi sent the letter on behalf of the King of Qin and burned the yellow letter. It turned into smoke and went straight to the Jade Emperor's desk.
The Jade Emperor took a look at the King of Qin's letter and summoned the Clairvoyant and Clairaudient, "The King of Qin in the human world sent a letter to me. He told me that there is a demon monkey causing trouble in the lower realm. He asked me to send the troops of the Thunder Division to the lower realm to subdue the demon. The two of you are supervising the world. Why didn't you report this to me? "
The Clairvoyant and Clairaudient looked at each other and were speechless. They only hesitated. Luckily, Lord Taibai Jinxing came forward and whispered, "Your Majesty, have you forgotten about the two saints who went west?"
"Oh? What does this have to do with the two saints? "the Jade Emperor asked.
Lord Taibai Jinxing whispered, "It was the King of Qin who was rude. He invited the Old Lord's incarnation to attend the banquet, but he was rude in the hall. That's why the monkey who led the cows for the two Sages attacked. Now, the two Sages have left and are heading west!"
"So there is such a connection. Send this report to the Thunder God of the Ninth Heaven's Universal Thunder Residence of the Thunder Division and let them deal with it!" the Jade Emperor said with his eyes lowered.
The Jade Emperor threw down the decree and went straight to the residence of the Universal Lord Heavenly Lord Yingyuan Thunder. Immediately, the God of Thunder and Goddess of Lightning, who had been lying in ambush, took the decree and could finally go to the Lower Bound to find trouble with the Monkey King. The two Godly Gods first found Ti Fangshi and said to him, "Do you know how much trouble you have caused?"
Ti Fangshi was so scared that he fell to the ground. He hurriedly said, "Honorable Divinities, this lowly one is just following orders! It was under the orders of the two of you to make things difficult for the demon monkey. How did I break the taboo and cause trouble? "
The God of Thunder and Goddess of Lightning already had a plan in mind. This was the way of doing things for the Godly Gods in the Lower Bound. It was called the Killing Mace. That mortal was afraid of power but not virtue. If the Godly Gods used him to do things, if they didn't kill his arrogance, he would inevitably be dissatisfied and hesitate, which would easily ruin things. Therefore, they had to scare him first and make him feel fear so that he could be controlled.
"I asked you to take care of that monkey, not to provoke me. Just call that monkey alone. Why did you invite the Old Lord to the banquet and give him that attitude? You know that it is the Taishang Old Lord who has descended to the Lower Bound. Provoking him will not end well! Now, you even encouraged the King of Qin to send a report. The heavens have given me a decree to investigate this matter. If we take down the culprit, you can go to the eighteen levels of hell and be reincarnated as a beast in your next life! "
Ti Fangshi was scared out of his wits. He knelt down and said, "Have mercy, Godly God! I have gone through fire and water for you and caused such a disaster. Please save me, Godly God! "
That Mother of Lightning pretended to be red-faced. She persuaded him with kind words, "This matter isn't difficult. If you do it well, you can turn misfortune into fortune and turn a bad thing into a good thing. Someone has to take responsibility for this matter. If you didn't sow discord and obstruct the saints, it was that demon monkey that ran wild and caused chaos in the Qin Palace. If nothing happens to that demon monkey, you will be out of luck. If you don't want to take responsibility, you have to make that demon monkey wear this hat. "
"There must be a bad guy in this! You have us supporting you from the back, so you don't have to be afraid of that monkey. Just go and fight him! " Mother of Lightning said, "I have traveled to the west and turned into a Buddha. This is the merit of the Heavenly Court. If you want to survive this calamity, you have to cooperate with me and make that monkey bear the sin of creating havoc in the Qin Palace and alarming the Jade Emperor."
Ti Fangshi hurriedly kowtowed and said, "Godly God, please give me pointers on what I should do."
Mother of Lightning whispered, "Then I have traveled to the west and have just arrived at the foot of Mount Zhongnan. Build a spell altar and let the King of Qin give you a decree. Spiritual Reverend God, invite the deities from all directions to help you fight against that monkey. If you defeat that monkey, I will have a way to make it suffer. When the time comes, you will have the merit of subduing demons. Even if you become a celestial and ascend to become an immortal, how difficult would it be to become a Heavenly General in the Thunder Division? "
Ti Fangshi was overjoyed when he heard this. Mother of Lightning told him the size of the spell altar, the main points of the ritual, and even the true names of the deities from all directions. She also taught him how to write a talisman decree and put the Jade Emperor's imperial decree behind the talisman decree. Then, she taught him the Art of Moving Mountains and Filling Seas, Summoning Wind and Summoning Rain, and Five Thunders Execution. She also asked the King of Qin to send a strong man to build the spell altar at Mount Zhongnan in accordance with the law.
A day later, the spell altar was built. Ti Fangshi went outside the altar and walked straight up to the thirty feet tall platform. He saw the flags of the twenty-eight constellations on the left and right, and nine more flags with the names of the Nine Brilliance Star Sovereigns. A long table was placed on top of the platform, and in front of the table was a huge cauldron with smoke rising from all directions. On the table was a gold plate with the name of Universal Transformation Heavenly Venerable engraved on it. Ti Fangshi was holding an iron plate with the runes of the Thunderbolt City Secretary written on it and the signature of the God of Thunder and Mother of Lightning.
On the left and right were altars made of five-colored soil, and on the altars were the names of the Five Mountains Monarchs buried in jade books. There were also many disciples and grand-disciples of Ti Fangshi writing talisman creation books there. There were a few small gods placed beside the altar, and they were the statues of the talisman envoys and the Earth Praisers. There were two necromancers on each side of Ti Fangshi, and they were holding the tablets of the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas.
There were also the Four Great Marshals, Four Great Heavenly Masters, Four Great Heavenly Kings, and so on. There were a total of thirty-six Heavenly Generals and countless Heavenly Soldiers.
The God of Thunder and Mother of Lightning looked at him from the sky. The God of Thunder said, "I've invited the fellow Daoists from all directions. Even though many of them refused because of Laojun, they all agreed after I said that we're only dealing with the demon monkey. When the time comes, the necromancer will perform the ritual, and the deities from all directions will respond accordingly. With the Jade Emperor's imperial decree, we won't go against the law of heaven."
The Mother of Lightning smiled and said, "Even though we can't make that demon monkey submit, we can make it unable to advance or retreat."
"That demon monkey was ordered by the two saints. We blocked Laojun's path to the west, but the saints didn't show their divine arts. It must have come to the heavens to beg us to let it go. When it reaches our territory, isn't it easy to deal with it? Even if the saints blame us, we won't be in the wrong if we act according to the decree. Otherwise, how would the Five Mountains Monarchs, the Four Blasphemous Dragon Gods, and the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals dare to agree to us? "
"After all, we're only borrowing Ti Fangshi's hand. He will bear all the blame," the God of Thunder said coldly.
