Chapter 107: Zhao Gongming: Me? Making up a tribulation? Mount? Open robbery!???
New Year's Eve, the night of guarding the year.
Sent away Lishan Laomu, sent away Yang Chan, sent away Guan Baoer and little Yichengjin, leaving only the master and three disciples, and Xiaotian Quan who had just taken a bath, and Jiuyue who was addicted to lipstick shades.
The master and three disciples sat on the roof, looking at the bright moon in the sky, rarely quiet at this time.
"Master. How many tribulations have we passed?" Yang Jian drank a glass of wine and asked.
Tang An took out her little notebook and calculated. "From the Fire-Eyed Golden-Eyed Beast mount, killing robbers, saving the little shepherd boy who fed the monkey, White Dragon Horse, Golden Hoop test, Jinchi Elder, Black Bear Spirit, Zhu Ganglie, Huangfeng Guai, Sha Wujing, Four Trials of Zen Heart, to the skeleton monster that borrowed life."
"After that, White Bone Spirit, Bai Qi two tribulations. Kuimulang collecting monsters, and Baoxiang Kingdom not allowing passage two tribulations. Jinjiao Yinjiao, collecting monsters and taking Laojun's treasures two tribulations."
"Green Lion Spirit, saving people, collecting monsters two tribulations. Honghai'er four tribulations, respectively being tricked, being rolled up, fighting with fire, finding father."
"Black Water River Alligator one tribulation, Chechi Kingdom expelling monks and promoting Daoism and fighting Dharma two tribulations. Tongtian River saving children plus collecting monsters, plus Guanyin's anger, three tribulations."
"Total is... thirty tribulations."
Tang An counted her fingers. "Seems the progress is a bit slow." She remembered that in Journey to the West, it was already thirty-eight tribulations by now.
"Where should we go to make up the tribulations?"
This was a good question, where to find monsters?
"Hey, isn't it said that on New Year's Eve, there is no Nian, or can you beat the Nian beast?"
Mentioning the Nian beast, Yang Jian and Nezha's eyes lit up.
"Yes."
"Yes? Where?"
Yang Jian pointed to the sky. "Zhao Gongming's new mount, the Nian beast."
Tang An heard Zhao Gongming's name, and suddenly took a deep breath, her excitement overflowing.
"God of Wealth? God of Wealth Zhao Gongming?"
Nezha frowned slightly. "You... heard of him, and you are so happy?"
"That's of course! That's the God of Wealth! Welcoming the God of Wealth during the New Year, do you know what a good omen this is?"
Nezha nodded, looking at Yang Jian.
"Second Brother?"
Yang Jian immediately understood. "Go?"
"Go." Nezha did not hesitate.
Yang Jian looked at Sun Wukong. "Master is left for you to watch, we two will go and return."
"Go, go, with my old Sun here, rest assured."
Tang An saw this, her heart beating like a drum; it was already the last hour of New Year's Eve, which was the first day of the New Year.
According to the time difference between heaven and earth, even if they returned without stopping, it would take a few days.
Could it be that she could welcome the true God of Wealth on the fifth day of the New Year?
Oh my mother! Happiness's mother opens the door for happiness, happiness has arrived home!
No, it's the God of Wealth's mother opens the door for the God of Wealth, the God of Wealth has arrived home!
Heavenly Court, Lingxiao Palace.
The Jade Emperor sat on the dragon chair, with Yang Jian and Nezha standing on each side of him.
Reasonably speaking, with two gods with such strong combat power by his side, the Jade Emperor should be at ease.
However... why did he feel a bit fuzzy in his heart?
"Jade Emperor, have you written the decree?"
The Jade Emperor put down the immortal pen, and the decree had already been written.
"Since it is to complete the eighty-one tribulations as soon as possible, I should help you once."
"But why are you targeting the Martial God of Wealth, Zhao Gongming?"
Yang Jian and Nezha looked at each other. "Because, it's appropriate for the occasion."
He took the Jade Emperor's decree and looked at it. "Thank you, Jade Emperor, we will retire."
"Retire." Nezha also bowed.
And then, they just walked away like that.
To say they were impolite, they bowed; to say they were polite... was it a bit too much to treat him, the Jade Emperor, as a tool person?
They came up to ask for a decree, took the decree and left, not wasting a bit of time!
Was the great cause of seeking scriptures already so important in their hearts?
Zhao Gongming's mansion.
Zhao Gongming was leisurely drinking tea on a rocking chair, humming a little tune, looking in a good mood.
"Uncle Zhao." Yang Jian came over and bowed.
"Yo, Nephew Yang Jian, how do you have time to come to me?"
"Naturally for the Journey to the West calamity."
"Journey to the West calamity?" Zhao Gongming had a bad premonition. "You... don't want me to go down and make up a tribulation, do you?"
"No."
Zhao Gongming heard this and breathed a sigh of relief.
"But we need to borrow your new mount, the Nian beast, for a use."
"Nian beast?" No, he just found a new mount, and it was targeted so quickly?
"Can I refuse?"
At this moment, the Nian beast in the God of Wealth Hall.
It seemed to have just finished a beautiful dream, lazily stretching.
Suddenly, it felt its ankle being held by something.
The Nian beast looked down and saw Nezha's face full of evil bad smiles.
"Umm..."
It didn't even have time to shout, it felt its body suddenly lift into the air, a blur before its eyes, and it lost its weight.
When it reacted, it was already in the mortal world.
Nian beast: No? You...
In this year, robbery reached the God of Wealth Hall?
But there were so many treasures in the God of Wealth Hall! Why rob it, a Nian beast?
Zhao Gongming in the sky turned his head and found that his Nian beast was gone.
"No, my, my mount?"
"Should have been taken down by Nezha."
"No! You, you... open robbery?"
Yang Jian took out the Jade Emperor's decree. "The Jade Emperor issued a decree."
"Rest assured, it's just to make up a tribulation, it won't take its life. At most... it should suffer a bit."
"Hehe... do I have to thank you?"
"Uncle, don't be polite."
"Polite your grandfather!" Zhao Gongming started swearing directly. "Yang Jian, you..."
Yang Jian pointed to the mortal world. "Uncle, if you go late, it might suffer a bit more."
Zhao Gongming's words were hard-pressed back by Yang Jian.
"Oh, my precious mount, it just ate a Gold-Swallowing Beast and hasn't digested it yet! It will give it indigestion later!"
He hurriedly went down to the mortal world, afraid that if he was late, his newly obtained mount would be broken.
Mortal world, Tang An's residence.
The fifth day of the New Year, evening.
Tang An, Nezha, Sun Wukong, one dog and one fox stood in a circle around the Nian beast.
The Nian beast shivered in the middle, weak and helpless.
"Awoo?"
Tang An looked at the gold coins on the ground, then looked at the Nian beast, pinching her chin and falling into thought.
"The God of Wealth's mount is different, huh? Being thrown to the ground by Nezha and smashing it, can it explode gold coins?"
"Then if..."
Tang An didn't speak, just took out the Golden Brick and her newly obtained Jade Ruyi from the Universe Bag. ===== CHAPTER 108 =====
"The God of Wealth's mount really is something else, huh? Getting tossed to the ground by Nezha and smashed, it can even burst out gold coins?"
"Then if..."
Tang An said nothing, merely pulling a golden brick and her newly acquired jade ruyi from her Universe Bag.
