Chapter 636: The expedition to the blood sea is definitely a stupid plan
Now that the case of Dragon King Ao Run was solved, there was no need for Wen Rui to stay in Coral City any longer.
After handing over the files and finishing up, Wen Rui began to consider whether he should talk to Kong Xuan and ask him if he was interested in staying in Coral City to practice cultivation for the rest of his life as Diao Xuan.
Wen Rui's wishful thinking, of course, is to make Kong Xuan stay and let him immerse himself in the life of an ordinary monster in the Monster Alliance. This is more clever than any means of winning him over.
There is a saying: "Plant a phoenix tree and attract the phoenix."
The peacock is the son of the phoenix, that’s probably what it means.
It is much better than preaching about empty concepts like the operation of heaven, protecting world peace, and saving the people.
The most powerful verbal persuasion is about "bonds", which are the feelings between people.
As long as Kong Xuan stays in the Demon Alliance for a few decades, he will naturally feel a sense of belonging without the promise of high positions and generous salaries, or of attaining enlightenment and becoming a Buddha to save all living beings.
When the Demon Alliance encounters a crisis and is jointly wiped out by the Heavenly Court and the Western Religion, he will take the initiative to stand up and protect it without being mobilized.
Just like five hundred years ago, even though he knew that the Shang Dynasty was despised by the sage, Kong Xuan was respected among the merchants because he lived there. As long as he had a sense of belonging, he would face the sage without hesitation.
He thought carefully about the arguments to persuade Kong Xuan to stay, and considered whether to ask Li Lan'er to come and assist him, and designed various routines.
Wen Rui's final decision was to slip away quietly, leaving Kong Xuan behind without even saying goodbye, and returned to heaven.
Sometimes, doing nothing will actually produce better results than doing something. Since things are moving in a good direction, we should just let nature take its course. Rash intervention would seem too deliberate.
The matchmaker is still suffering in the prison of heaven, and he can no longer act recklessly to tie or cut the red string.
Lovers in the world who are truly devoted to each other will eventually get married, and there is no need for Wen Rui to add unnecessary details.
……
When he arrived at the South Gate of Heaven, Wen Rui changed back into his original form and walked arrogantly in front of the heavenly soldiers guarding the gate. The soldiers looked at each other with strange expressions.
The celestial general on duty today was Mo Liqing. Upon seeing Wen Rui, he stepped forward with an apologetic smile and said cautiously, "Emperor Wen, when did you descend to the mortal world? It seems that you haven't registered yet..."
"Ok?"
Wen Rui narrowed his eyes and squeezed out a word from between his teeth.
The latter swallowed his saliva nervously and said with a wry smile: "This is also my duty. After all, it is against the law of heaven to come to the mortal world without permission."
As everyone knows, the Heavenly Court strictly forbids the gods from descending to the mortal world without permission and passing through the four heavenly gates. No matter entering or leaving, they need to produce the Jade Emperor's edict, and the gatekeepers will keep records.
The last time Wen Rui left the South Heaven Gate, he was in a hurry and used the Hunyuan invisibility magic. This time when he returned, he was too lazy to hide and just broke in.
"As the Grand Marshal of the Heavenly Army, do I need to report my itinerary to you, the gatekeeper general?"
Wen Rui's tone was so arrogant: "Tell me about the Heavenly Law? Do you think you and your brothers are very clean and have strictly abided by the Heavenly Law for hundreds of years without making any mistakes? You all report to the Thunder Department tomorrow. I don't believe that no problems can be found." "No, no!"
Mo Liqing was so frightened that he almost dropped the sword in his arms. He said in a trembling voice, "I was just asking casually, I have no other intention. Please don't take it too seriously, Your Majesty. I think Your Majesty is also working for the Guardians of the Galaxy. He must have come down to the mortal world to investigate a case secretly. It's all my fault for being too talkative. Please be magnanimous and don't take a small person like me seriously!"
"Guard your door well, don't ask what you shouldn't ask, don't say what you shouldn't say! There are many gods and generals among the Heavenly Lords and Star Lords who are more capable and experienced than you. If you want to be crowned as the Heavenly King, you may worry that there will be no one to vacate the position. You should cherish your life while you can."
"Yes! Yes! I dare not, I understand, I get it!"
Mo Liqing was sweating profusely, nodding his head rapidly, his legs went weak and he almost fell to his knees, he was really scared.
Wen Rui is crazy, and he has the capital and reasons to be crazy.
It's not that Wen Rui is getting arrogant. Mo Liqing used to take orders from Wen Zhong. He should have been a celestial official from the Wen family faction. He actually dared to ask Wen Rui such a question, which was problematic in itself.
If we don't give him a warning, we will have to be on guard against him telling tales and causing trouble when we enter and leave the Heavenly Palace in the future.
The four brothers of the Mo family have a close relationship with the Western Church. I am afraid it is impossible to win them back to their own camp, but they must be made aware of their situation.
It would be fine if they just remained neutral and pretended to be deaf and dumb, but once they openly stood against the Wen family and caused trouble, there was no shortage of generals guarding the gates in Heaven, and it would not be difficult to replace them with a group of obedient ones.
He flew back to the Creation Palace on the auspicious cloud. As soon as he arrived at the door of the palace, he saw Nezha sitting cross-legged there, concentrating on fiddling with the jade token of the immortal weapon and playing games to pass the time.
Hearing the footsteps, Nezha raised his head and saw that it was Wen Rui who had returned. He quickly put away the jade card and greeted him, saying, "Marshal Wen, you are finally back. I have been waiting for you here for a month. The Jade Emperor sent me to inform you and ask you to go to the Lingxiao Palace to discuss important matters."
"The puppet guarding the gate said you were in seclusion, but you came back from outside. Where have you been?"
"Go take care of the adults' business, kid, stop asking questions and go play your games."
Wen Rui said unhappily, "What does the old Jade Emperor want from me? Are you asking me whether the remaining fairies have been found? I won't go. You tell him that it's over. I got reliable information that the fairies have been captured by Taoist Mosquito and taken to the Netherworld Blood Sea. I'm afraid they are in great danger. Just assume that they are dead."
Wen Rui had never been very enthusiastic about rescuing the Seven Fairies from the beginning. It wasn't his own child that was lost, and if the Jade Emperor hadn't forced him to do so with justice, he wouldn't have bothered to care.
Nezha was stunned and said, "So you already knew it? A while ago, Guanyin Bodhisattva came to visit and reported the whereabouts of the seven fairies to the Jade Emperor. He proposed that the Heavenly Court and the Western Religion form a coalition to expedition to the Netherworld Blood Sea to jointly rescue the fairies. The Jade Emperor summoned you to discuss the establishment of a coalition."
"Are you crazy? Heaven is sending troops to the Netherworld Blood Sea? How stupid would one be to agree to such a proposal that is obviously a trap for the gods?"
Wen Rui held his forehead with a depressed look on his face and said angrily: "The power of the gods will be greatly weakened in the realm of extremely heavy yin energy. The Netherworld Blood Sea is where the evil energy of the three realms gathers. Not to mention fighting, even if the gods fall into it and soak in it, they will lose a layer of skin."
"If the Netherworld Blood Sea was so easy to attack, it would have been pacified by the Western Sect long ago. How could the Jade Emperor fall for this clumsy scheme of diverting trouble to the East and dragging allies into the muddy water?"
How could Nezha understand these complicated plots? He blinked his clear eyes and said, "You are the commander-in-chief of the heavenly army. It is your duty to defeat demons. Taibai Jinxing dared not to see you, so the Jade Emperor ordered me to come and report. You can tell the Jade Emperor these words. Anyway, my mission is accomplished."
After saying that, he rode on his Hot Wheels into the air and ran away.
