495 The Importance of a Good Reputation
Shi Zhongkui thought about it carefully and realized that this was not necessarily a bad thing. It could even be considered a plan in advance.
Moreover, Judge Cui's move can be regarded as a complete surrender to Xuanmen, and even to the sect of the Governor's Mansion of Fu Mo.
"Brother, have you really thought about it?"
Judge Cui laughed, stood up and cupped his hands and said, "Please also ask the Governor to take you in."
Huang Feihu clapped his hands, laughed, and applauded repeatedly. Shi Zhongkui did not hesitate, "I would like to ask the emperor to help me with the matter of brother Taoist descending to earth. I will go to Tushita Palace first to report to my uncle about Marshal Tianpeng."
Judge Cui and Huang Feihu knew that when Shi Zhongkui reported to Laojun, he would definitely mention Zhu Bajie's punishment.
Although Shi Zhongkui approached Huang Feihu from the beginning and had some reasons to bring Zhu Bajie back to the world, Judge Cui took the initiative and indeed saved some trouble.
As long as Shi Zhongkui mentions this matter to the old man, the old man will definitely not care while remembering Judge Cui. After all, there are many heavenly officials in heaven who secretly descend to earth.
Let alone cannibalism, even if you do the worst thing, if you have a backing official, the punishment will not be severe.
The yellow-robed monster, also known as Kuimulang, not only had an affair with the fairies and came down to earth to meet them, but also ate so many people that he was finally punished to burn fire in the Tusita Palace for seven days.
Zhu Bajie didn't need Shi Zhongkui to come forward for this matter, Huang Feihu could easily take him back to the world.
And Judge Cui has joined Shi Zhongkui's inner circle and will return to the underworld to serve again in three to five hundred years. Life will definitely be much better than now.
When Shi Zhongkui flashed back to heaven, Huang Feihu sighed and said to Judge Cui, "I didn't expect that in just five or six years, Shi Xiandi's cultivation has reached the heavenly realm.
Hundreds, hundreds of years from now, I will explain my teaching and there will definitely be another Taiyi Golden Immortal, which will really put us to shame."
Judge Cui didn't have much envy on his part. Even though he was one of the four great judges, Lord Yan of the Tenth Palace in the Underworld was only a fifth-grade heavenly official.
He, a seventh-grade judge, is really nothing.
Even if you were qualified to participate in the Queen Mother's Peach Party in previous years, because you work in the underworld and want to get an invitation, you may not get the chance even once in ten or a hundred years.
When the gap reaches a certain level, your mentality will naturally become much calmer. Only then will you decisively seize the opportunity when you see it.
Ignoring the hints in Huang Feihu's words, he cupped his hands and said, "Thank you very much, Emperor, for your help. From now on, I will definitely do my best wherever it comes in handy."
"What are you talking about?" Huang Feihu hurriedly helped Judge Cui, "You and I are in similar situations, so we naturally help each other. Moreover, the Governor is favored by the two saints. Since we missed an opportunity and don't know how to choose, it would be really stupid.
There is no cure.
No matter how bad it is, making friends with him is a hundred times better than those people who explain the teachings and teach disciples with their nostrils turned to the sky."
Judge Cui smiled and nodded, secretly thinking that without a good background, no matter how powerful you are, it will be in vain.
Even though Huang Feihu joined the Western Zhou camp early when he was conferred as a god, he was not a disciple of the Chan Cult. Even though he was close to the Chan Cult, he always lacked some sense and could not enter the inner circle.
Then when Judge Cui asked for help, he only thought for a moment and agreed to help.
In fact, the purpose is just to have a more stable status and live a better life.
In the Red Mansion World, he only helped Shi Zhongkui a few times. Over the years, Huang Feihu received invitations every month to have banquets and drinks at Shi Zhongkui's home in the Red Mansion World.
Just drinking so much merit wine is already a huge reward.
Shi Zhongkui's reputation in this circle suddenly increased countless times.
Not to mention having contact with Yang Jian, Nezha and others many times, which is far greater than the friendship established when he became a god.
Even the Four Heavenly Masters, Taiyi Zhenren, Antarctic Immortal and other big shots have become more or less friendly towards the people in the circle established by Shi Zhongkui over the years.
He has long been the envy of many heavenly officials, and even some of the heavenly officials in Jiejiao have wanted to make friends with him.
Of course, Huang Feihu is a member of the Chanjiao camp after all. He doesn't care whether the Jade Emperor has any objections. It doesn't mean that all heavenly officials are the same as him.
But for the gods of the middle and lower classes, not everyone has the opportunity to make friends with Shi Zhongkui, show his favor to Shi Zhongkui, and gain friendship from Chanjiao and Renjiao.
It can be said that because the immortals and gods have extremely long lifespans, and even live as long as the heavens, the degree of class consolidation in the heavens is far more serious than that of the human dynasties.
Since there is no chance of promotion through hard work, some people will have other thoughts.
Even if you can't upgrade your level, it's still a good thing to gain more authority.
No matter how bad things were, having Shi Zhongkui, a famous person who taught and taught, and the Jade Emperor's nephew and son-in-law coming forward, he was able to attend the Queen Mother's birthday every year and attend the peach banquet in Yaochi, which was also a great reward.
Moreover, Shi Zhongkui has established a character over the years and is always generous to his close friends. This is also the reason why Judge Cui took the initiative to deepen their friendship and even went to the past.
Regardless of whether Shi Zhongkui is pretending, at least if it doesn't involve huge interests, or when life and death are at stake, he will definitely not slap himself in the face.
As for helping Judge Cui attend the Peach Fair, it really wasn't much trouble for Shi Zhongkui.
Even judging from how he tried to please the Queen Mother, it was only a matter of one sentence at most.
But for low-level heavenly officials, it is a huge benefit.
So Shi Zhongkui accepted it without hesitation, and the initiative was still in his hands.
And with Judge Cui as an example, it will be much easier to win over and make friends with more heavenly officials in the future.
It can be said that this is a win-win situation for both parties.
However, Shi Zhongkui has never been a tolerant person. If Judge Cui hadn't taken the initiative to tell him his plans as soon as they met.
Shi Zhongkui didn't really accept him that easily.
He said no and accepted it openly, but secretly guarded Judge Cui as much as he guarded his grandson.
Of course, it's not that easy to ask Shi Zhongkui for help in getting promoted. At least just helping punish Zhu Bajie is definitely not enough.
But it doesn't prevent him from doing good things in the future and getting Judge Cui and Huang Feihu together.
——
After returning to Tushita Palace, Shi Zhongkui indeed brought up Judge Cui and the punishment of Zhu Bajie.
Laojun smiled and shook his head, "You monkey, you have learned a lesson this time. You need to be more cautious in doing things in the future."
Shi Zhongkui knew that he really lacked consideration this time, and thought that Huang Feihu would cause some trouble if he came forward to punish Zhu Bajie.
But I don't think others are stupid and will come over to me immediately when I have the opportunity.
Fortunately, the result was not bad, otherwise Laojun would not have let it go so lightly.
After bidding farewell to Laojun, Shi Zhongkui returned to Yunzhan Cave again. When Zhu Bajie saw him, not only did he not dare to show his hatred, but he also had to smile and make friends and admit his mistake.
I promise again and again that even if I starve to death, I will never eat anyone again.
Shi Zhongkui sneered. When he was about to starve to death, let alone one person, even his brother Zhu Bajie could eat it.
When this guy was first reincarnated, he ate all his brothers and sisters from the same mother, and even killed the sow that gave birth to him.
However, through the incident of punishing Zhu Bajie and others, it can also convey to the outside world that the two of them are not on good terms.
Even if Zhu Bajie was demoted, it was probably an illusion that Shi Zhongkui was behind the scenes.
Even if you can't deceive Buddha and Bodhisattva, there is still a reasonable reason for Zhu Bajie to join the Sutra-recruiting team.
