Chapter 9: Woe
I don't know what the purpose of the Heavenly Court is to set up a prison, if any immortal violates the immortal rules and is relegated to the lower realm, won't it be over? Perhaps the Jade Emperor set up this position just to take care of his nephew Yang Jian, so that the great god Yang Jian could have a place to serve, so as not to fall into the tongue of the immortals, saying that Yang Jian was just occupying the relationship between his maternal uncle in the heavenly court. I had already arrived at the Heavenly Prison with Yang Jian, and the Heavenly Prison guards had already greeted him, nodding their heads and bowing their waists, and doing their utmost to be courteous. Yang Jian still looks cool and handsome, who owes him money. As Yang Jian entered the prison, I paid more attention, looking at the prison from prison to prison, just hoping to see Shenying's figure. But no, the cell was mostly closed up with some goblins who plotted against the heavens and unruly immortals who violated the rules of the immortals, and it was not until I reached the end of the prison that I saw the canopy dressed as prisoners. As soon as he saw me, he jumped up from the ground, rushed to the edge of the cell, and stretched out his hand to grab me, but fortunately the wooden edges of the cell were so narrow that they stuck his fat body, and he cursed me for not dying well.
I shook my head and looked at the canopy with hatred.
Yang Jian stretched out his hand and swept me behind him, and then said coldly to Tianpeng: "Tianpeng, you still don't know how to repent when you become a prisoner, your fate is caused by yourself, and it has nothing to do with others." You can't live if you do your own evil, you can do it yourself. ”
My heart is full of gratitude to Yang Jian. I think Yang Jian is a good god, if I am open and honest with him, maybe he will take me to see Shenying, maybe he will let me take Shenying secretly. In front of me, there was a picture of Yang Jian personally releasing Shen Ying out of the prison and sending us out of the South Heavenly Gate, Shen Ying and I were grateful to him, but he said lightly: "Why do you care about it?" "It's so cool! Wow!
"Hey, what are you smirking at alone?" A cold voice sounded, and my beautiful dreams were shattered. Yang Jian looked at me suspiciously, and there was even a hint of disdain in his eyes.
I pouted, "Do I have a giggle?" Nope! When I looked back into the cell, I found that the canopy was gone, and I was surprised: "Where is the canopy?" Escaped from prison right under our noses? ”
Yang Jian looked at me incredulously, "Did you just confirm that you were at the scene?"
"I'm here!" I also looked at him strangely. He snorted coldly on his lips, "Then why didn't you see the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals escorting the canopy away?" My cheeks burned when I asked, I must have missed the scene just now when I was so happy that I was so happy that I asked, "Where was the canopy taken?" ”
"It's gone." Yang Jian said and strode out.
I hurriedly caught up with him, and plucked up the courage to probe: "General Yang, are there only so many cells in the prison?" ”
"The Heavenly Monarch governs the Three Realms well, and these cells are already a waste."
Yang Jian's words made me quite disagreeable, if Tianjun really managed well, he should not need a cell. Out of the prison, nothing was found. Standing at the door of the prison, looking at the word "prison" on the palace, I have mixed feelings in my heart, is this all? Shen Ying is indeed locked up in a prison, but why can't I find it? There must be more than this level of the prison, and Shen Ying must be locked up in other parts of the prison.
******************************************************************
In the next few days, as soon as Yang Jian was on an errand in the prison, I went to visit him. Send him something delicious and fun, I hope to be close to him. But Shenying's whereabouts are still a cloud of mystery. One day, as soon as I returned to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, Yuemeng rushed to me angrily, pointed at my nose and shouted, "When are you willing to save Shenying?" You won't covet the immortal life of Heavenly Court and forget about Shen Ying outside the clouds, right? Your life was saved by Shen Ying, and now that Shen Ying is in trouble, you should repay him! ”
As soon as Yue Meng's words fell, Chu Long gave her an ear scraper, and she couldn't cover her ears quickly, and Yue Meng's fair face was already printed with bright red five finger prints. "Chu Long ......" I looked at Chu Long reproachfully. Chu Long's eyes were gloomy, he glared at Yue Meng viciously, and squeezed out a few words between his teeth: "Don't be rude to Sister Jiangzhu!" ”
Yuemeng looked at Chulong and then at me, her cheeks were swollen and red, and she covered her face and ran out of the Xiaoxiang Pavilion crying. I watched her back disappear into the clouds and mist, and my heart was full of self-blame, "Chu Long, you shouldn't treat Yuemeng like this, she was just worried about Shenying's safety." ”
Chu Long is neither humble nor arrogant: "She can't be so selfish and disregard her sister's safety." We stayed in the Heavenly Court for many days, and we knew that if we wanted to go to the Heavenly Prison to save people, we were simply going to die. ”
My heart softened, and I smiled at Chu Long, who was grown up and mighty and heroic, but with a childish face. I said softly, "Chulong, thank you." ”
"Sister, let's go back to Linghe! I always felt like this was a place of right and wrong. I miss Ai Mang, let's go back to Linghe! Chu Long looked at me beggingly.
I shook my head, "I won't leave Heaven until I rescue Shen Ying." If you miss Ai Mang, I'll let Zijuan and Ana accompany you back to the Spirit River! ”
"Where you are, I'll be there." Chu Long looked at me stubbornly. There is an infinite warm current in my heart.
At this time, Zijuan and Mother-in-law walked out of the house carrying a wooden barrel. I was puzzled, "What are you two doing here?" ”
Zijuan said: "Sister, you have forgotten your duties all day long trying to break your head in order to rescue Shenying. Tianjun asked you to stay in Heavenly Court to take care of this piece of Xiaoxiang bamboo, but you run to the heavenly prison every day, how can you have the heart to take care of this piece of bamboo? I'm afraid that when you don't take care of this bamboo forest, the immortals will come to Tianjun to visit you, and your dereliction of duty will be a certainty. ”
"So, Zijuan and I thought of a way for you, we developed a special secret recipe mixed with water, use this water to water the bamboo, the bamboo will definitely grow vigorously, and the heavenly monarch will definitely praise you and will not punish you." Mother-in-law is full of confidence and has a sweet smile.
I was so moved that I almost cried, "Zijuan, Ana, Chulong, you guys are so good to me!" ”
So we started working together to water the bamboo grove. As the water seeps into the roots of the bamboo, the bamboo immediately stretches its branches and leaves, and the trunk becomes thicker. The clouds and mist are swirling, and the green light is shining, so it is not charming.
"It's so beautiful!" I admire. Zijuan, Po Po Na, and Chu Long all laughed.
Suddenly, a fairy hurriedly came to report, "Miss Yuemeng's trespass in the heavenly prison has been taken by the heavenly soldiers and generals, and she is being staked on the Lingxiao Palace, and the Heavenly Monarch ordered the fairy to rush to the Lingxiao Palace." ”
My heart sank, Yuemeng, this girl was too reckless, I only blamed myself for not explaining it to her clearly just now, and I didn't stop her.
I insisted on letting Zijuan, Po Po Na, and Chu Long stay in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion and not let them accompany me. I wasn't sure that Ling Xiao Hall and his party would be able to escape with their whole body, so I instructed Zijuan that if I didn't return for an hour, I asked her to escape from Heaven with Chu Long and Mother-in-law and return to Linghe. Chu Long is right, Dongfang Heavenly Court is a land of right and wrong, I regret that I only left Ai Mang in Linghe, I regret letting Zijuan and them accompany me, but now it's too late to say anything.
In the Lingxiao Palace, the gods and immortals looked at me coldly, their eyes were extremely unkind to me, full of schadenfreude. The Jade Emperor was impressed with me and treated me favorably, which made me jealous. Today, they may want to see how the Jade Emperor protects me! Yuemeng was tied up by five flowers and knelt in the center of the hall, her face was not angry, but her body was trembling. This poor stupid girl, with no enthusiasm, acts without brains, and she doesn't want to think about how she can save people from the prison on her own. I endured my anger and knelt beside Yuemeng, and to outsiders, I might have a calm face. When Yuemeng saw me, she didn't dare to look at me directly, and lowered her head in shame. I know that she has realized her recklessness, but the basket has been poked out, and it is hard to say whether I can cover it.
As soon as I shook it to the ground, I said very reverently: "Zhuzhu see the Heavenly Monarch!" ”
I didn't hear the voice of the Heavenly Monarch for a long time, and the entire Lingxiao Hall was silent, and my heart sank even deeper into the valley, I was afraid that the Heavenly Monarch was really angry, and I had doubts about my motive for visiting Heavenly Court. I stubbornly raised my head and looked directly into the Heavenly Monarch's scrutinizing gaze. At this moment, I have to admit that the Jade Emperor is a Heavenly Monarch with an outstanding temperament in the wind of the jade tree, and he is sitting so quietly, and he is no longer angry and arrogant. He just looked at me like that, his face was expressionless, and he said for a long time: "Yuemeng was brought to Heaven by you, she trespassed into the Heavenly Prison, and she must have something to do with you." You go with her to kneel outside the Nantian Gate! ”
Is that all? Don't investigate the reason, just a small punishment and a big commandment? It's also incredible.
Tai Bai Xing had already shaken off the dust, and said to the Jade Emperor: "Heavenly Monarch, don't you interrogate the motives of the Yuemeng girl who broke into the prison alone?" Could it have something to do with the prisoners in the prison? The prisoners in the heavenly prison are all guilty of plotting against the heavenly court, and if the Yuemeng girl has something to do with them, it will be a big matter! Tianjun, the old minister thought that it was better to interrogate the reason why the Yuemeng girl trespassed into the prison, and then punish him! ”
What the Platinum Star says is very true, but it is clear that it wants to trap us in the land of injustice. I glanced at him coldly and said to the Jade Emperor: "Heavenly Monarch, Yue Meng first came to Heavenly Court, and I felt new to the splendid prosperity of Heavenly Court. She has lived in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion for many days, she has always been well-behaved, and she is not a person who loves trouble, but I saw that she did her best to assist me in taking care of the Xiaoxiang bamboo delivered by Tianjun, and in order to reward her, she was specially allowed to walk around in the heavenly court. As for her entering the prison by mistake, she must have gone to the wrong place. ”
Yue Meng hurriedly said: "Tianjun spares his life, it is Yuemeng who went to the wrong place, an unintentional mistake, not an intentional offense, and ask Tianjun to forgive him." ”
The Jade Emperor pondered for a moment and said, "Taibai, you see that since it was an unintentional mistake, we don't have to deliberately hold us accountable." After all, Zhuzhu is a visitor from the west, don't look at the face of the monk to see the face of the Buddha, look at the face of Rulai, we also have to be forgiving and forgiving! ”
Taibai didn't say anything more, and silently retreated to his position.
Yuemeng and I were escorted to the Nantian Gate and knelt outside to think.
Yuemeng cried: "Fairy, I'm sorry, I've troubled you. ”
I shook my head, just looking through the clouds to see the Nether Commonwealth Rising Dust from the East China Sea.
A long cloak floated from among the auspicious clouds, and before we could blink, Yang Jian was already standing beside us, he handed one of us a pot of water, and he himself did not say a word, his eyes gloomy.
"Do you believe that Yuemeng made a mistake and broke into the prison by mistake? I know you don't believe it. "I'm on my knees so much that my knees hurt.
Yang Jian didn't answer my words directly, but just looked at Yue Meng sideways for a while, and said, "Who are you in the prison, and you have to take such a big risk?" ”
I bit my lip and didn't say a word, I didn't want to lie to Yang Jian, I could feel that he was friendly to me, but I couldn't be honest with him. After all, he is a person in the heavenly realm, and he is the nephew of the Jade Emperor, and when something happens, he may not necessarily help me.
Yuemeng and I knelt outside the Nantian Gate for a few days, and the Jade Emperor finally sent the fairy child to make a pardon. When I returned to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, I learned that Zijuan and Mother-in-law invited the Jade Emperor to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion to enjoy the bamboo, and the bamboo grew well, and the Jade Emperor was happy, so he pardoned us. Just when we thought we had escaped the catastrophe, another disaster struck: the fairy boy guarding the Tianshu Pavilion found that the Buddhist scriptures I had given to the Jade Emperor were missing. I was invited to the Lingxiao Hall again.
