24. XXIV
In the Cloud Treasure Hall, on the high platform, the clouds covered the Jade Emperor's face, and he stretched out his slender middle finger and knocked it on the jade case again and again.
"Tianzun Jade Emperor, people have brought it." The leader of the divine soldier crouched on the ground and said.
The Jade Emperor narrowed his eyes, and he slowly clasped his hands together on the knees that were crossed Erlang's legs.
"What, it's a little doll?" The sound that penetrated the stratus clouds and reached Maruko's ears had already regained its calm.
Like a rough sea, after the wanton hustle and bustle, it slowly regains its unfathomable calm.
The ball was pulled out of the hand that was holding Guanyin's palm, and he gently patted the back of Guanyin's hand, he looked up and smiled at Guanyin.
Guanyin raised his eyebrows, and through his childlike dark eyes, he seemed to see a young man who had just grown up, and threw a smile to comfort himself and persuade him to feel at ease.
Maruko let go of Guanyin's hand, took a few steps forward, left Guanyin's sight, and came to the center of the Cloud Treasure Hall.
His small body fell to the ground, and he lifted his equally small head, looking at the high platform above the clouds with his eyes like ink pills.
Guanyin involuntarily took a few steps in the direction that the ball had left, allowing the figure of the ball to return to his field of vision.
Maruko's body fell under Guanyin's eyes, like a chivalrous man with a huge black cloak, covering and protecting the qiē behind him with his body.
"Alchemy boy Ao Yu, I have seen the Jade Emperor."
The Jade Emperor raised his eyebrows and stared at the little boy, listening to his name.
Ao Yu, the Jade Emperor's ankle pressed against his chin.
The third prince of the West Sea?
The Jade Emperor turned his face sideways, and handed over the divine soldier not far behind him, he wanted to know what secrets this child still had.
The divine soldier bowed his head and retreated silently.
"You destroyed the orb?" The Jade Emperor asked.
"The pills are just trying to refine an elixir to eat~" The balls' voice was childish and youthful, with a full sense of coquettishness.
"Refining the elixir to eat, do you know what you ruined?!" The green tendons on the Jade Emperor's forehead burst out, and the fingers placed on his lips pinched his chin, and his sharp teeth bit his lower lip. The feelings that came out of the words were calm as usual.
"What?" Maruko tilted her head, not understanding.
"I don't understand, you dare to despise my gifts, it seems that you are indeed very bold." The Jade Emperor paused slightly for a moment and continued: "And I have never liked people who are very bold. ”
"So ......?"
"Die, it just so happens that you are still young, and after death, your soul will return to the underworld, so you can find a good life early." The Jade Emperor bent the corners of his lips, and was quite satisfied with the punishment he gave.
He is the Jade Emperor of Tianzun, but he is just the third prince of the West Sea, and if he dies, nothing will happen to him.
"Isn't it too cruel for the Jade Emperor to embarrass a child like this." Guanyin slowly walked out from behind the balls and walked into the main hall. Looking at the high platform, he made a Buddhist hand salute with both hands.
"Master Guanyin." The Jade Emperor on the high platform had beads of sweat on his forehead.
The Jade Emperor raised his hand slightly, making the clouds covering the high platform even denser.
"You, what's wrong?"
"My Buddha is merciful, I can't bear to kill, and when I hear bloody words, I always have to stop them." Guanyin holds the white porcelain net bottle in his hand, and the willow branch is inserted in the net bottle, and the place where the eye is still warm is swallowed.
It's just that in this kind of warmth, there is more perseverance.
"It seems that Master Guanyin is here for this little child. I didn't even know that Master Guanyin was still in contact with this child. ”
"He was given to Taishang Laojun as an alchemy boy by Xihai as an apprentice, and the Dragon King of Xihai asked me to send him something once a month, no matter how I said it, I watched him grow up, so I naturally couldn't bear to see him die like this. What's more, my Buddha is merciful, and an ant can't bear to step to death, let alone flesh and blood. The Jade Emperor was also a compassionate man, and he would not take someone's life for a treasure that had been destroyed. ”
"So, what does Master Guanyin think?"
"Since the Jade Emperor doesn't like the bold, then demote the pills to the mortal world and return to the water realm."
"Then do as Tuas says." The Jade Emperor pressed his eyebrows and reluctantly agreed.
Maruko was taken down, and Guanyin was the only one on the empty hall, and he didn't speak, standing there upright.
"Is there anything else going on with Master Guanyin?" The Jade Emperor asked.
Guanyin shook his head and smiled, his smile like a flower on the other side.
The sound of the hairpin ring is broken, and the lights in the cave are bright. After Taiyi Zhenren went down to heaven, he did not travel in all directions, but returned directly to his dojo to deal with the monkey being locked in the alchemy furnace, and when he came back with Nezha, Nezha's newly cultivated spell, he raised his eyes from the fold of the book, saw the astrolabe not far away, pursed the corners of his lips, sat cross-legged on the futon, closed his eyes and pondered
After a long time, Taiyi Zhenren imagined a cup of tea out of thin air, took a sip, and walked out. He walked alone, in the long, secluded black corridor, which stretched deep into the depths of the corridor, and a black miasma blocked the exit.
The words that burst out of his lips slapped against the miasma with a golden light.
The miasma dissipated, revealing a dazzling white light. Taiyi walked in, and after passing through the white light, he came to a pool, and a bunch of red lotuses in the pool were opening or closing, all of which were red like blood on the tip of people's hearts. He made a knife in his right hand and slashed it at the palm of his left hand, and the blood beads came out and bloomed like flowers after falling on the clear surface of the lake.
And Yang Jian, who had been unsure of what to do, was outside an unknown dark jungle at this time.
The sunset outside the jungle was still dark in my jungle, as if the jungle had been slashed and isolated from it.
Outside the jungle, the sun was setting slowly, rolling up the fiery red sky. The figures elongated by the sunset are more than enough, and the light and shadow are changing and superimposing, giving people the illusion of being in a different world.
His eyes were full of the shadow of the setting sun, and Yang Jian silently felt that his eyes felt dizzy and deeply tired.
Sure enough, I've been so tired lately......
Yang Jian murmured softly in his heart, with a thick nasal voice, as if he was about to fall asleep but not asleep.
The place where he is like the dividing line between day and night, and he stands in the center, as if the sun and the moon are half of each other. He lifted his arrangement and walked over to the dark jungle.
The jungle seemed to be covered by a huge pot, and it was pitch black everywhere, and there was no sound at all.
The jungle in the middle of the night, like a ghost, can kill people, and can devour people's hearts. The ghosts and ghosts here, the thousand-year-old demons, are all hidden in this jungle.
Yang Jian opened the Eye of Heaven, glanced around the jungle, and finally folded his hands and slowly opened them.
A huge blue enchantment appeared in front of Yang Jian, and two snow-like teenagers were trapped in the enchantment.
Snow wolf, fox sickle.
Yang Jian snapped his fingers to release the two of them, and the three of them walked into the jungle together.
Yang Jian suddenly had a severe headache halfway through, he gritted his teeth and endured the headache, and the singing voice of the girl who pierced the eardrum was far away, coming, slowly, closely, demagoguery.
"Yang Jian, do you remember?!" The girl's questioning voice came, and slowly Yang Jian lost consciousness, as if he had walked into someone's dream.
The young man in the dream, his face was like frost, Yang Jian heard him slowly narrate: "My name is Frost Heaven, I am the son of the Goddess of Ice and Snow, the god in charge of frost, the noble and forgetful Erlang Zhenjun, do you remember?" ”
On a frosty day, Yang Jian's mind was blank when he heard this name.
"Yes, how can you remember, you are the Divine Monarch who enforces the Heavenly Rules, and you are the most heartless."
Yang Jian frowned, his eyes were cold, and he didn't care about the young man's words at all.
Whether there is such a thing as the heart or not, and it is not up to others to have the final say, he naturally will not distinguish it from others because of this.
"I've been here for thousands of years because of you." The young man seemed to remember something from the past, and his tone was stained with deep sadness.
"Now, you have to ask for it here, too." The corner of the young man's lips cracked into a mocking smile, and he said, "It's time for you, Nezha, and these arrogant immortals in the heavenly court who don't understand love to taste the taste of being ruined." ”
"Really?" Yang Jian stood up straight, holding a three-pointed two-sided knife in his hand, his dark cloak was blown up by the wind, and his black hair swept across his jade-like face.
His eyes were even darker under such blackness.
"I remember you, a little kid who fell into the devil's way in order to protect his brother and the woman his brother loves."
"Do you know why I didn't stop you and let them go?" The silver-gray soft armor Yang Jian was wearing, glowing with cold light, and he was upright.
"Because, I look down on you very much, if you like it, tell him, what is it to be a shield for others, what is it to be used by others and be full of joy, frost day, liking someone is not to give him to violate your rights, but to convey your feelings correctly and sincerely and confidently. After all these years, you still haven't understood. Yang Jian rarely admonished a person, and his tone was full of the concern of his elders.
The young frost sky likes the son of the water god "Yi Shui", but Yi Shui fell in love with a little demon, and later the heavenly court noticed this, but he didn't think that Yi Shui confessed that it was that Frost Sky liked the little demon, and he himself was just a messenger.
Yang Jian found out the truth, and he was silent, and he did not tell Shuangtian a qiē, but directly gave Yishui to death, and the grief-stricken Shuangtian fell into a demon.
"You say that, it seems that you have someone in mind?" The young man didn't speak for a long time, and after raising his head halfway, he asked, "You came here today for the third prince of Nezha, is it her?" ”
Yang Jian smiled and shook his head, and said: "The person I like, I have patiently passed on the emotions for so long, but he still hasn't noticed, Frost Heaven, do you think I should take any necessary measures?" ”
"In this way, I only want to tell you one word, if you want to, hurry up, after all, Heavenly Court, maybe the future will be changed." The boy curled his lips as if he had thought of something satisfying, and laughed heartily.
