I am a fairy in Journey to the West

Chapter 55: The three were conferred titles and asked the God's House for guidance on the work of heaven

Three days later, Zhao Qingsi, the messenger from Xiniu Hezhou of Taixuan Zhenfu, came down to the mortal world to announce the decree and brought three jade certificates from immortal officials.

Zhao Qingsi first met Zhuang Yan in the Eight Immortals Pavilion. This time, before Zhuang Yan could greet him, Zhao Qingsi took the lead and bowed, saying with a smile, "Master."

Zhuang Yan returned the greeting with a bow and said with a smile, "You are so embarrassing for me, the messenger. You are a sixth-rank immortal official, and I am a seventh-rank immortal official. How can I let the messenger pay his respects first?"

Zhao Qingsi smiled and said, "In the past, my sixth rank was higher than your seventh rank, but now you are the lord of a prefecture, and I am just an imperial edict messenger, so it's hard to say who is higher and who is lower."

As Zhuang Yan invited Zhao Qingsi to sit down, he said, "You have a higher official rank than me, and I have more power than you. Therefore, we are both equally powerful."

"Hahaha, they are the same size. Great, great." Zhao Qingsi said with a smile.

Then Zhao Qingsi said to Zhuang Yan, "My Lord, the number of assistant immortal officials you submitted last time has been approved by the Taixuan Province. The imperial decree and the immortal official jade certificate have been issued. Please let the three Fire Spirit True Immortals come here to listen to the decree."

Zhuang Yan nodded, then raised his hand and shot out a ray of fairy light and flew out of the Eight Immortals Pavilion.

After a while, a beam of immortal light flew up to the Eight Immortals Pavilion and landed outside the pavilion. The Fire Spirit Immortal, along with Tiger Vanguard and Chi Ling, bowed and said, "Master."

Zhuang Yan said, "Come in, everyone."

The three of them immediately walked into the pavilion. At this time, Zhuang Yan and Zhao Qingsi both stood up. Zhuang Yan walked aside, while Zhao Qingsi took out a golden decree and said to the three of them: "Taixuandu Province's decree, Huo Ling, Hu Da, and Chi Ling, please come forward and listen to the order."

Upon hearing this, the Fire Spirit Immortal's eyes suddenly lit up, and then he quickly stepped forward, bowed, and said, "Little Fire Spirit, I will obey your orders."

Tiger Vanguard and Chi Ling also walked forward quickly and bowed behind the Fire Spirit Immortal.

Zhao Qingsi immediately opened the decree and read aloud, "According to the will of heaven, the Dao has established the court. Following the decree of the Emperor of the Divine Sky Jade Palace and the decree of the Grand Envoy of the Taixuan Metropolitan Province, it is decreed that: Now, Lingtai Dongming Lord recommends, and Taixuan Zhenfu recommends, three people, Huo Ling, Hu Da, and Chi Ling, who have outstanding merits and are diligent and commendable, and are worthy of appointment. Special decree is issued to confer titles. Huo Ling is appointed as the Prime Minister of Lingtai Dongming Palace, and is an eighth-rank immortal official. Hu Da is appointed as the Left Vanguard of Lingtai Dongming Palace, and is an ninth-rank immortal official. Chi Ling is appointed as the Right Vanguard of Lingtai Dongming Palace, and is an ninth-rank immortal official. Now that the decree has been received, they will take office as soon as possible. The decree of the Divine Sky Jade Palace shall be implemented as a law."

After Zhao Qingsi finished reading, three immortal lights immediately lit up above the decree.

Then, in each of the three immortal lights, a jade certificate from an immortal official flew up. The three jade certificates from immortal officials flew to the top of the three people's heads and hovered for a moment, and then flew directly into the center of their eyebrows.

As the Immortal Official's Jade Tablet flew into the three people's brows, it immediately entered their spiritual altars and bound together with their primordial spirits and souls.

At this time, Zhao Qingsi looked at the three people and said, "Three of you, please accept my order."

The Fire Spirit Immortal stretched out his hands excitedly, took the decree from Zhao Qingsi, and then took Tiger Vanguard and Chi Ling to accept the decree and express his gratitude.

Afterwards, Zhao Qingsi looked at the three people and said with a smile: "The salary, official robes and all things of the immortal officials in the heavenly court are all issued in the Immortal Official Jade Book. You can all check it in the Immortal Official Jade Book."

Upon hearing this, the three of them immediately bowed and replied, "Yes."

Then Zhuang Yan invited Zhao Qingsi to take a seat, and asked Huo Ling Zhenxian and others to serve fine wine and spiritual fruits.

"The food and wine on earth cannot compare to the delicacies from heaven. Please don't be disgusted by them, envoy." Zhuang Yan reached out and took a spiritual fruit and handed it to Zhao Qingsi.

Zhao Qingsi took the spiritual fruit and said with a smile, "No, no, you are too polite."

Then Zhao Qingsi took a bite of the fruit, chewed it slowly, and asked Zhuang Yan, "Master, how are you going to build your Lingtai Dongming Palace?"

When Zhuang Yan heard this, he immediately said, "I was just about to ask the messenger, how should this divine palace be built?"

Zhao Qingsi laughed when he heard this and said, "Master, you don't have to build this divine palace yourself. Just submit a petition to Taixuan Province and someone from Tiangong Academy will come and build it for you."

"Oh? Is this okay?" Zhuang Yan asked.

Zhao Qingsi smiled and said, "Of course you can. The Heavenly Law stipulates that any righteous god in the Heavenly Court who has established a palace can have the Tiangong Academy build a palace for him."

Zhuang Yan bowed and said, "I see. Thank you for telling me."

Zhao Qingsi waved his hand, and Zhuang Yan then picked up the wine pot and poured wine for Zhao Qingsi. Zhao Qingsi saw this and quickly held Zhuang Yan's hand and said, "Don't pour it, don't pour it."

"What's wrong?" Zhuang Yan was a little confused.

Zhao Qingsi smiled bitterly and said, "I haven't returned yet. If I return drunkenly, you won't see me next time, Lord Fu."

"Oh?" Zhuang Yan put down the wine pot and asked with a smile, "Where are they going?" Zhao Qingsi said, "Leize Prison."

"So serious?" Zhuang Yan asked in surprise.

Zhao Qingsi thought: "Otherwise, why do you say that the laws of heaven are strict?"

Zhuang Yan nodded and said, "Then don't drink. Come, eat some fruit."

Zhao Qingsi stayed in the Eight Immortals Pavilion for half an hour and ate a belly full of fruits. When he saw Zhuang Yan asking Fire Spirit Immortal to get the spiritual fruits, his face changed and he quickly stood up to say goodbye.

"My lord, I have to return to heaven to report, so I won't stay any longer. Goodbye, and we'll meet again when we have time in the future." After saying this, Zhao Qingsi bowed and quickly ran away.

Zhuang Yan saw Zhao Qingsi leaving in a hurry and said with a smile, "I didn't realize that this messenger really likes to eat spiritual fruits."

The Fire Spirit Immortal, Tiger Vanguard, and Chi Ling looked at each other, and Tiger Vanguard said, "My Lord, the envoy may not like to eat spiritual fruits."

"What do you mean?" Zhuang Yan turned around and asked.

Tiger Vanguard said, "You had been handing him fruits just now, and he had to eat them. When he heard that you were going to get some spiritual fruits again, he hurriedly said goodbye."

"Is that so? Did I keep passing it to him?" Zhuang Yan didn't seem to pay much attention to what he was doing.

Chi Ling nodded and said, "You have been delivering it all the time, without stopping."

"." Zhuang Yan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "This messenger is too honest. If you don't want to eat, just say so directly. If you hold it in and force yourself to eat, you will only suffer."

Then Zhuang Yan said to the three Fire Spirit Immortals, "Now you are also immortal officials. Put on your official robes tomorrow."

The three of them immediately bowed and replied, "Yes."

Then Tiger Vanguard scratched his head and laughed: "Hehe, I never thought in my dreams that I would become an immortal official one day."

Chi Ling was still a little confused, but she thought that the Immortal Official's Jade Tablet was beautiful, so she kept playing with it in her hand.

The Fire Spirit Immortal was filled with emotion. She had finally taken a solid and successful step towards her goal of immortality.

She looked at Zhuang Yan with gratitude. If she had not surrendered in the beginning, she would have been murdered and died by now. How could she have the position of an eighth-rank immortal official now?

Seeing that the three people had their own feelings, Zhuang Yan smiled slightly, then stood up and left the Eight Immortals Pavilion. He flew into the mountain god temple, wrote a petition requesting Tiangongyuan to build the god's palace, and then sent it into the shrine.

There was a flash of divine light in the shrine, and the memorial disappeared immediately.

At the same time, in Fangcun Mountain, inside the Xieyue Sanxing Cave.

Patriarch Bodhi ordered the boy to call Sun Wukong over. When Sun Wukong arrived at the temple, he immediately bowed to Patriarch Bodhi and said, "Master, you called me?"

Patriarch Bodhi took out a jade scroll from his sleeve and said, "Wukong, go to Danchi Ridge and give this scroll to my friend."

Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong responded immediately, then stepped forward to take the jade slip, "Yes, Master."

Patriarch Bodhi smiled and said, "Congratulate him for me again."

Hearing this, Sun Wukong asked in surprise: "Master, has the tiger king had any good news again?"

Patriarch Bodhi said with a smile: "He has made great contributions in this expedition to the West Sea and has been given the title of 'Lingtai Dongming Lord'. Now he should be called Lord of the Palace."

Sun Wukong laughed when he heard this and said, "Shan Jun. Oh no, Fu Jun is a capable person. He will definitely become a high official in the future."

Patriarch Bodhi glanced at Sun Wukong and said nothing. He just waved his hand and said, "Go."

Sun Wukong replied, "Yes, disciple, I'll take my leave." After that, he put away the jade slip and walked out. Then he used his magic power, stepped on the breeze, and flew straight to Danchi Ridge.
