Chapter 987 Immortals and Heaven
"Thank you for your hard work. The Monkey King's judgment is correct. Then I will discuss the ownership of the loot with SHIELD."
After the communication between Zheng Xian and Captain Li of the Mecha Force at the Divine Spear Bureau, only the finishing work was left for this war that affected the nine realms.
Malekith, Frost Giant King Laufey, and Fire Giant Queen Cinder died one after another, and most of the rest were shabby fish. Even the female angel leader was not as powerful as the three of them. Superheroes from all continents could deal with it. of.
In other words, the work that needs to be done by the Divine Spear Bureau is over, and all Zheng Xian needs to worry about is the aftermath communication work and the 'trophy'.
"Ether particles, infinite gems..." Zheng Xian actually knew the origin and foundation of that thing.
As a Chinese organization with a long history and strict mythology inheritance, the Divine Spear Bureau's background is much deeper than what it appears on the outside. Even without the mecha army, Zheng Xian never worried that the earth would be destroyed by the gods of the nine realms.
After all, the gods of the Nine Realms are only European gods, and since there is the Monkey King, China naturally has other "own gods", but it is difficult to see those gods appearing in this era.
Maybe we need to find a way to contact Heaven? Ether particles may not be something that SHIELD can study, but they cannot be given to SHIELD in vain.
Just as he was considering the pros and cons, an agent from the Divine Spear Bureau knocked on the door and entered.
"Director, the 'Eight Immortals' are here."
Zheng Xian was startled: "It's just the right time."
He walked out quickly to greet him.
The Eight Immortals are the eight Taoist immortals widely circulated in folklore - Tieguai Li, Han Zhongli, Lu Dongbin, Zhang Guolao, He Xiangu, Lan Caihe, Han Xiangzi, and Cao Guojiu.
Of course, those who come to the Divine Spear Bureau are not the eight gods themselves, but the eight superheroes who, like Ji Xing, who carries the power of the Great Sage, have obtained the inheritance and power of these eight gods. (The Marvel setting seems to have downgraded these eight to ordinary superheroes. Let’s give them a second setting.)
They are affiliated with the Divine Spear Bureau and form an organization of their own. They have occasional contacts and are also the best intermediaries for Zheng Xian when he wants to contact Heaven.
Soon, Zheng Xian met these eight people in the conference room. Seven men and one woman were young and strong. They looked completely different from the real Eight Immortals. The topless Han Zhongli even had eight-pack abs.
"Director Zheng, long time no see."
The two sides greeted each other first, and Han Zhongli said: "The eight of us happened to be gathering at the beach in Liao Province these days. We suddenly encountered the attack of those fire giants, and we also watched a good show."
"It's true that Lan's Technology Group is mass-producing Iron Man armor for S.H.I.E.L.D. The development of technology is really amazing. It has allowed ordinary people to chase superheroes." Zhang Guolao shook his head with some emotion.
"In my opinion, if there are hundreds or even thousands of soldiers wearing armor, even ordinary gods can't resist them. They are so handsome." Cao Guojiu said with an envious look on his face: "Director Zheng, I wonder if I have a chance to get one. That thing?"
Zheng Xian smiled slightly: "At present, mechas still have to be supplied to the army first. Those who have the inheritance and power of immortals do not need that thing to defend themselves. Of course, if you want a set of mechas for research or other purposes, Lan Ran is at the Divine Spear Bureau now, you can go to him directly, and you can also customize a mecha with the appearance of your choice."
"Select yourself?" He Xiangu's eyes lit up and she was obviously interested: "Okay, let's go find him."
"Let's get down to business first." Tieguai Li, the leader of the team, interrupted a few people's interest in mechas and said: "Director, how is the battle going now? I see on the news that all continents are basically in flames of war. "Here, can you help me?"
Zheng Xian smiled and said: "The worries of you guys have been basically resolved. If necessary, I will launch an emergency call for the eight of you. But now there is another thing..."
He told the Eight Immortals about the 'trophy' and said: "I don't know if there is any content about it in the Eight Immortals' inheritance. Well, whether there is or not, I hope the Eight Immortals can contact the Heavenly Court and see the immortals. What’s your opinion?”
"Ether particles? Never heard of it..." Tieguai Li frowned and looked around, but all he got were shaking his heads in response, so he turned back and said, "I know, I will report it to heaven.
However, in addition to seeing if we need help this time, we are also here to do something under the orders of the gods and gods... Director Zheng, I heard that the power of the Monkey King has a successor? "
Zheng Xian was stunned and asked: "Do you mean the 'Monkey King' or the 'Monkey King'?"
Tieguai Li was also stunned: "What's the difference between these two...?"
Zheng Xian explained: "You eight have not been to the Divine Spear Bureau in recent months, so some things are unclear. As early as eight months ago, the power of the Great Sage had a successor..."
He explained the transition from 'Monkey King Sun Wukong' to 'Monkey King Qixing'. The Eight Immortals looked at each other for a few seconds and said: "We only received the mission half a day ago, so it should be the one behind."
Zheng Xian was not surprised, just a little surprised. Sure enough, Qi Xing has a better tolerance for the power of the Monkey King, at least far more than the Monkey King... Just look at his aura after getting the golden cudgel. Even an ordinary person like Zheng Xian can tell the difference.
But Zheng Xian didn't expect that this would be enough to alarm the heaven. The real Monkey King, Monkey King, has been suppressed in the Eight Heat Hells for an unknown number of years. The reason is unknown. Legend records that he offended the Jade Emperor, but it is still unclear how much processing and modification the legend has undergone. I am afraid that only Qitian Only the Great Sage himself can explain clearly.
Now the immortals are paying attention to Ji Xing... Can't he be implicated for receiving the Great Sage's inheritance?
He asked tentatively: "What are the specific instructions of the immortals?"
Han Zhongli said: "Let us open the Five Mountains Array and lead him to Daluo Heaven. There is a certain immortal who wants to see him. We don't know who it is."
Zheng Xian was shocked: "Take him to Heaven?! This..."
It is very rare for immortals to interfere in the mortal world, let alone lead a mortal to Heaven. When was the last time such a thing happened? Did 'Sanfeng Zhenren ascend'?
Can Qi Xing come back? The Shenmao Bureau has just gained a capable general... No, more importantly, he is a child of my China, a free mortal who should not worship immortals or Buddhas!
Zheng Xian is a 'patriotic patriot'. As the director of the Shenmao Bureau, he respects the immortals who protect one side, but he thinks that mortals should dominate the world, and immortals should not interfere in the affairs of the mortal world.
But facing the will of the gods, as the director of the Spear of God Bureau, he had no power to object. At this moment, a certain idea really came to his mind - if the mechas were stronger, it would be great. If the mecha army could be stronger than the gods in the heaven, we could completely "take charge of the house", right?
Now, we can only pray silently.
He asked the Eight Immortals for information, but the Eight Immortals knew very little, so a few hours later, he could only explain this to Ji Xing with some worry and helplessness.
Ji Xing was slightly startled, with a face full of surprise.
"Is there really a heaven? Haha, I guess so, the Monkey King is real, how could there be no heaven? I actually have the opportunity to see the heaven? This is really... Can I see the Jade Emperor? Eh... No, the Monkey King has some conflicts with the Jade Emperor..."
You are still more careful. Zheng Xian complained in his heart, but Ji Xing's performance was in line with that of a young man who was shocked by the news. He explained: "Myths and legends are mostly changed and fabricated by the people, and the Monkey King's rampage in the Heavenly Palace has been embellished too much.
You are fortunate to be taken to the Heavenly Palace this time. You should listen more and speak less, and answer all the questions from the immortals truthfully. Do you understand, Qi Xing?"
"Yes, I understand." Ji Xing was still a little excited and said: "How should I go? What should I prepare? Oh, by the way, I have to talk to the chairman first, at least I have to ask for leave..."
An hour later, it was late at night.
At the top of the Five Mountains, the highest point, a mysterious light suddenly broke the silence of the night.
The light gathered towards the center, illuminating the shadow of the palace in the endless sky, forming a heavenly road, like a rainbow bridge, across dimensions to take Ji Xing into the Daluo Heaven, the mythical Heaven!
This wonder was seen by many night owls. Because of the invasion of the "aliens" today, many people stayed up all night, worried about the coming of disasters, and some people were fanatical and believed in the mecha army.
In the Spear Bureau, Aizen looked at the sky with a faint smile on his lips.
‘Have I been discovered? It is worthy of being the world ranked at the top in the Extreme World, and it is worthy of being Ji Xingjun, who can hide from the guy who sees through me. Is this a test? Haha, the real test starts from here, come on, Ji Xingjun. ’
…
Surrounded by colorful light, Ji Xing passed through a layer of world barriers. This is a very familiar feeling, but his face is full of expectation and novelty.
When his feet landed on the ground, Ji Xing looked around and saw a magnificent world in front of him. Under his feet were endless white clouds, undulating like waves, but so soft and peaceful.
In the distance, palaces were scattered in the sea of clouds, covered with glazed tiles, flashing colorful light in the sun, and cranes soaring in the sky, occasionally making melodious calls, adding a bit of the aura of the ‘immortal world’.
“This, this is the immortal world… the heaven?” Ji Xing couldn’t help but murmured.
"Yes, welcome to the Heaven."
A voice suddenly sounded beside him.
Ji Xing was startled and turned his head quickly, and saw an old man with white hair and beard.
His image is very distinctive, with a very long forehead that bulges forward, a crooked jade staff with a dove head in his hand, and a small gourd tied to the upper half. His face is kind and very fairy-like.
"Are you, are you... the God of Longevity?"
The God of Longevity among the three stars of Fu Lu Shou is also known as the South Pole Old Man Star, the South Pole Immortal, the South Pole Changsheng Great Emperor, the High Godly Jade Pure True King Changsheng Great Emperor, and the South Pole Changsheng Siming True Lord.
He is the immortal in charge of longevity and has a high status in the Heavenly Court. The portraits circulated among the people are almost exactly the same as his real image, so Ji Xing was able to recognize him at a glance.
The birthday star raised his hand and stroked his long beard, smiling kindly, looking Ji Xing up and down and said: "Amazing, with a mortal body, you carry almost one hundredth of the power of the monkey. There is such a person in the mortal world who is suitable for the monkey's inheritance, and it has met him."
He praised a few words, and then said: "Don't be nervous, my friend. I have some friendship with that monkey head. I realized that it has found a suitable successor and the power you have obtained is enough to rank at the bottom of the immortal class. That's why I asked the descendants of the Eight Immortals to bring you to the heaven and chat with you for a few words."
Ji Xing's reserved attitude relaxed a little, and he saluted solemnly to the birthday star: "Please give orders, immortal."
"It's just a casual chat, how can I give orders? If the monkey head knows that I bullied his descendants, when he escapes from the Eight Hot Hells one day, I'm afraid I will be beaten a few times."
Hearing this, Ji Xing said curiously: "Birthday star... Immortal, I don't know... Can I know why the Great Sage was imprisoned in hell?"
"It's self-righteous, but its career is just some trivial matters." The longevity star shook his head and said: "That Hericium has a rebellious nature and refuses to be controlled. Even if he is in the Immortal Class, he often contradicts the Jade Emperor and does not listen to the Jade Emperor's orders. Once he made a fuss that went too far. , and was imprisoned into the Eight Heat Hells by the Jade Emperor himself.
Alas, if the monkey had been willing to give in, he would have been unblocked and returned long ago, but the monkey would rather be the king and hegemon in the Eight Heat Hells than return to heaven. This stalemate lasted for thousands of years. "
He sighed: "Since my little friend has inherited the Hericium, why not find an opportunity to give some advice and save the Hericium from the Eight Heats as soon as possible."
"Advice..." Ji Xing was a little confused: "Although I have received the inheritance of the Great Sage, I have not received the teachings of the Great Sage, and I don't know how to contact the Great Sage. As for the Eight Heat Hells... I have no idea. There's a way."
"Really? Now that he has the golden cudgel, the monkey head should be able to contact you from the Eight Heat Hells...haven't you? It is in line with the character of the monkey head." The birthday boy shook his head and smiled, and said: "I call you up. , In fact, it also meant to exhort, so it seems that it is no longer needed.”
"Advice?" Ji Xing asked doubtfully.
"Ah, I'm afraid that the monkey head will have a rebellious mentality. If he gets a descendant like you, he will contact you to cooperate internally and externally to directly destroy the Jade Emperor's seal on him, which will add insult to injury!" said the longevity star.
Ji Xing's face showed surprise: "Is that why I was summoned to heaven? Please rest assured, Immortal Longevity, although I have received some power as a gift from the Great Sage, but as a mortal, I still know what I can and cannot do. Then This kind of thing will never happen, even if the Great Sage wants to take back his power, I will never dare to interfere with the laws of heaven!"
"The old man is relieved now." The longevity star smiled and said, "But the title of 'Shou Xing Immortal' is really awkward. You can call me the 'Antarctic Immortal', or you can just call me 'The Immortal'."
"Immortal." Ji Xing respectfully called him.
The birthday boy stroked his beard again and nodded: "In fact, when I see my little friend, I know that my previous worries are unnecessary. It will make me have to make an extra trip... If my little friend is willing, I will let me take you around the heaven. change?"
Ji Xing paused, then said with surprise on his face: "Wouldn't it be too much trouble for the immortal?"
"It's just a small matter." The birthday girl stepped forward, while Ji Xing was half a step behind him and quickly followed.
The birthday boy was making an evaluation in his mind: Is he just an ordinary lucky mortal?
Ji Xing was also making an assessment in his mind: an immortal with acceptable strength and not too much of a threat.
I'm a little confused, I missed it yesterday, sorry.
The depiction of Chinese mythology in American comics... can only be described as a mess, so I had to create a lot of things, otherwise it would be too uncomfortable.
