Chapter 169: Merit is complete
Lingxiao Treasure Palace.
The Jade Emperor sat on the central throne.
The group of civil and martial immortals below were talking one after another, with anger on their faces.
After the day and night wandering god was released by the Bull Demon King, he did not follow what the Bull Demon King said to send a message to Li Anran.
Rather, the soldiers were divided into two ways.
One went to Luojia Mountain in the South China Sea and reported the matter to Guanyin Bodhisattva.
One returned to Heavenly Court to find Zhang Tianshi and reported the matter to the Jade Emperor.
The Jade Emperor was furious, and immediately issued a decree to summon a group of civil and martial immortals and Li Anran, who was involved in this matter, to the Lingxiao Treasure Palace.
When the immortals heard this, they were also indignant.
This is no longer the case.
Since Yang Jian became the god of justice, the power of the Heavenly Court has become stronger, and there has been no rebellion of the Nether Monsters for many years, not to mention that this group of monsters is so bold that they dare to coerce the Heavenly Court to release the criminals of the Heavenly Prison.
All of a sudden, all the immortals angrily denounced the Bull Demon King for being lawless and asked the Jade Emperor to send troops to conscript.
Those immortals who know the inside story of the Western Heaven and the background of the Bull Demon King are no exception!
This is the political correctness of the Three Realms!
No matter what they think in their hearts, they have to have this attitude on their faces.
Li Anran is also among them.
Because of Yang Jian, although he is the god of prison, he does not need to participate in court meetings on weekdays.
However, today's matter is related to him, and it can even be said that it was because of him, so the Jade Emperor specially summoned him to the Lingxiao Treasure Palace.
At first glance, Li Anran was also taken aback.
He had been in retreat and cultivating during this time, and he didn't pay attention to the Western Heaven Sutra and the Macaque King.
I never thought that the Bull Demon King would come up with such a play!
And when he used the tracking function of the Punishment Book to see some scattered pictures related to the Macaque King, he almost didn't laugh out loud.
"This macaque king is too unlucky!"
The god of Riyou didn't recognize the demon kings of the golden-winged Dapeng eagle, and when he told the immortals, he only said that the bull demon king headed by him had gathered a large group of demons and monsters.
Li Anran recognized most of them at a glance.
Golden-winged Dapeng Eagle, Yellow Tooth Old Elephant, Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord, Sai Tai Sui......
It can be said that the more powerful monsters in the second half of the entire Journey to the West, except for the Nine Spirits Yuan Sage and the Yellow Eyebrow King, were almost all summoned together by the Bull Demon King!
"No wonder the Macaque King didn't even escape, and was directly captured alive and tied up!"
Li Anran wanted to laugh a little.
This macaque king wants to replace the monkey to achieve a positive result, but now it's good, the benefits haven't been seen yet, so he has blocked a disaster for the monkey first!
And the reason for all this is that he imprisoned the red boy in the heavenly prison, and did not let the red boy become Guanyin's good fortune boy like the original time and space!
"This is what the Buddhists say, a drink and a peck, all are a fixed number? Interesting! ”
Li Anran has been contemplating the way of cause and effect during this time, but the progress can only be regarded as average.
At this time, he was aware of it, and he was faintly aware that there were threads of cause and effect wrapped around him, and they would continue to change with his words and deeds, and even a thought.
This is actually the benefit of the catastrophe of heaven and earth!
In normal times, with Li Anran's Taiyi Golden Immortal's cultivation, it would be impossible to touch the law of the Great Dao so easily no matter what.
"What do you think?" The Jade Emperor suddenly asked.
Li Anran walked out of the train and said loudly: "The Heavenly Rules are the cornerstone of Heavenly Court's management of the Three Realms, how can you compromise and retreat because of the threat of monsters?" ”
"If this precedent is set, other monsters will inevitably follow suit in the future. How will Heavenly Court rule the Three Realms at that time? What is the majesty of the heavenly rules? ”
All the Wenwu Immortals nodded in agreement: "What the Prison Heavenly God said is extremely true!" You must not agree to the demands of those youkai! ”
Riyoushen was suddenly anxious.
He was secretly protected by the decree of the Rulai to protect Tang Seng, if something happened to Tang Seng, then he would definitely be punished by Rulai.
"Si Prison Heavenly God, the Bull Demon King said that if they don't send the red boy over within a day, they will torture Sun Dasheng! Don't you see ...... death?"
"Shut up!"
Li Anran directly interrupted his words, and said righteously: "Although Sun Wukong has a good relationship with me, it is related to the majesty of the law of the Heavenly Court, how can I abolish the public because of personal gain?" Don't say that the monster just whipped and tortured Sun Wukong, that is, they picked Sun Wukong's skin, smoked Sun Wukong's tendons, and beat him into the netherworld to recover, and I will never agree to this! ”
Sun Wanderer: "......"
Jade Emperor: "......"
Wenwu Xianqing: "......" is nothing wrong with saying this, but why does it sound so awkward?
Yang Jian stood at the forefront of the team, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the surprised and stunned expressions of the immortals, and he laughed in his heart: "Brother Li Anran, I'm afraid that I can't wait for the Bull Demon King to beat that fake Wukong to death!" ”
Yang Jian stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, what the God of Heaven and Prison said is reasonable. It is a matter of the majesty of the heavenly court, and there must be no compromise or compromise for anyone or anything. ”
"The minister seconded the proposal."
"The little god seconded."
The rest of the immortals also spoke in response.
The Jade Emperor himself thought the same way, and immediately said: "Since all Aiqing thinks so, then this matter is so decided. Which god will come down to subdue these demons? ”
As soon as these words came out, the Lingxiao Treasure Hall suddenly fell silent.
It's one thing to denounce and denounce, it's another thing to go down to the earth to reprimand!
Even the Monkey King of the Monkey King, who was making trouble in the Heavenly Palace, was planted in the hands of this Pingtian Great Sage Bull Demon King, how could they have the courage to descend to the earth?
Li Jing also shrank into the class.
His biggest reliance on subduing demons and eliminating demons is Nezha!
However, Nezha can't even beat Sun Wukong, let alone the Bull Demon King who can catch Sun Wukong.
Li Anran also retreated to his position silently.
Seeing Yang Jian's appearance when he saw the immortals cowering, his brows furrowed slightly, as if he intended to step forward to ask for help, and he hurriedly gave Yang Jian a look.
It's not just a Bull Demon King!
With so many big demons gathered together, even Yang Jian may not be able to get benefits!
If it fails, Yang Jian's prestige will be greatly reduced!
The cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods who have been suppressed by him over the years may all pop up!
Yang Jian noticed Li Anran's expression, hesitated, and did not step forward again.
The Jade Emperor noticed the small movements of the two and was slightly surprised.
He always thought that between Yang Jian and Li Anran, Yang Jian was the main one, and Li Anran was a subordinate similar to the Meishan brothers.
never thought that Li Anran would change Yang Jian's decision with just one look.
The Jade Emperor waited for a while, and when he saw that no one had stepped forward, he could only name himself: "Li Jing, the king of Tota, and the third prince of Nezha!" ”
"Wechen is here."
Li Jing's body stiffened, but he could only reluctantly step forward.
Nezha was a little happy.
That Bull Demon King can even capture Sun Wukong alive, he must have real skills!
His strength has grown a lot over the years, and he just wants to try his hand at this Bull Demon King!
The Jade Emperor noticed that the father and son had different expressions, but they didn't see it, and immediately ordered Li Jing Nezha to lead the four heavenly kings, the twenty-eight su, the nine yao star officials, the twelve yuanchen, etc., a total of 100,000 heavenly soldiers and heavenly generals, and set up 18 heavenly nets to the lower realm, to capture the Bull Demon King and other demons.
"Wechen obeys."
Li Jing accepted the holy decree with a bitter face, ordered all the soldiers and horses, and went to Xiniu Hezhou to kill him.
Yang Jian couldn't sit still.
He didn't care about Li Jing's life or death, but he couldn't care less about Nezha's safety.
"Your Majesty."
Yang Jian stepped forward and said: "That Bull Demon King is known as the Great Sage of Pingtian, and his strength is far above that of Sun Wukong back then. Xiaoshen was worried that it would be difficult for Li Tianwang and the third prince of Nezha to take him down. The little god dared to ask His Majesty to move outside the West Heaven Gate to see the truth and reality, and if there was something discordant, he could also help them. ”
"Exactly." The Jade Emperor immediately drove and led a group of civil and martial immortals to the outside of the West Heaven Gate.
On the other side, the night wandering god came to Luojia Mountain in the South China Sea and told the story of the Bull Demon King.
Guanyin was taken aback, and hurriedly asked about the details, and after learning that there were golden-winged Dapeng eagles, yellow-toothed old elephants, and Sai Tai Sui in this group of monsters, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief and put her mind at ease.
I also heard that the Bull Demon King threatened that if Li Anran didn't let the red child go back within a day, he would torture the Macaque King.
Guanyin is not angry but happy.
"The ferocity of the monkey has not disappeared, and the wildness has not changed, just use the hand of the bull demon king to ponder him, and it will save me from bothering and laboring in the future."
"However, the golden-winged Dapeng eagle has always been lawless, and this matter should not be delayed for too long, in case the golden cicada is really eaten by him, it will be bad!"
Guanyin pondered for a moment, and ordered the night wandering god to go to Lingshan to report the matter to Rulai, and he led Muzha to fly to Lishan.
Others don't know the origin of the Bull Demon King's heels, but Guanyin is clear.
This Bull Demon King was originally Kui Niu under the seat of the Tongtian Sect Master, and after the Tongtian Sect Master left the Three Realms, he first went to Li Mountain to practice with the Holy Mother of Wudang.
Later, for some reason, he left Li Mountain and went to Xiniu Hezhou to occupy a mountain, and gradually broke into the name of the Mighty Bull Demon King.
The reason why the Bull Demon King's body changed from black to white was because before the Tongtian Sect Master left, he remembered that the Bull Demon King had been by his side for many years, and he had no merit and hard work, so he exerted great mana and great magical powers, transforming its heels from acquired to innate.
And this is also the reason why the Bull Demon King can refine eight or nine Xuangong.
"Master Guanyin."
The old mother of Li Shan, or the Holy Mother of Wudang, had long known that Guanyin would come and had been waiting for a long time.
As soon as Guanyin Fang appeared, she greeted her and invited Guanyin to the main hall.
"Friends of the Daoists, I came today for the sake of the Red Child......"
Guanyin was worried that the golden-winged Dapeng carving would come, so he didn't dare to delay for too long, so he got straight to the point and talked about the red child.
The exposition of the sect has always tried to reconcile with the sect and let the sect return to the Xuanmen.
Lingshan is also doing the same thing.
However, Lingshan does not want the sect to stand on his side, he just wants the sect to maintain the current position of not helping each other, and it is best to be completely independent from the Xuanmen.
At this point, the interests of the sect and Lingshan are the same, so the Holy Mother and Lingshan are very close.
Back then, together with Guanyin, Manjushri, and Fuxian, the Four Holy Saints tested their Zen minds, which was to show their attitude to Lingshan.
Lingshan also reciprocated, deliberately letting the Lingya Immortal, the Qishou Immortal, and the Jin Guangxian, who were the sectarians of the sect back then, and the current Buddhism mount faction escape to the mortal world, so that they can participate in the Western Heaven to learn scriptures.
- that is, the old elephant with yellow tusks, the blue-haired lion monster, and the golden retriever roaring at them.
When the study of scriptures in the West Heaven is over, if they are willing to return to the sect, Lingshan will let them go.
If they are willing to take refuge in Buddhism, Lingshan will also give them a chance to break away from their mount status and achieve positive results.
It's the same with Red Boy and Bull Demon King.
Lingshan deliberately arranged for the Western Heaven Scripture Study Team to pass through Drill Bit Mountain and Cuiyun Mountain, so that the Red Boy and the Bull Demon King could participate in the catastrophe of the Western Heaven Scripture Study, which was not life-threatening.
Allowing them to use the power of calamity to improve their cultivation and gain merit is also to give them a chance to convert to Buddhism and achieve positive results, depending on their own choice.
Of course, these things are not known to the Bull Demon King Red Boy themselves, but they are not the arrangements made by the Holy Mother after consulting with Lingshan.
Unexpectedly, Li Anran was sideways in the middle.
The red boy was not accepted by Guanyin as a good wealth boy, but was imprisoned in the prison by Li Anran, and changed from a good wealth boy with a good fruit to a prisoner.
Guanyin was worried that the Holy Mother of Wudang would misunderstand, so she came to explain the matter to her.
At the same time, it is also to explore the attitude of interception.
The matter of the Enlightenment Tea Party has spread throughout the Three Realms, and the discord between the interception of teachings and the exposition of teachings has been well known, but no one knows where this discord has reached.
This is very important to Lingshan.
When the Holy Mother heard Guanyin mention the red child, her face suddenly showed anger.
Not for Guanyin, but for Li Anran, for Taiyi Tianzun, and for Xuanmen!
Our Lady of Wudang's tone was not angry: "The red child is still young, his mind is undecided, although he has caused some trouble, but it is also an unintentional mistake, a lesson is, why is he imprisoned in the prison?" ”
Guanyin bowed his head in agreement: "As the saying goes, knowing mistakes can be corrected, and good is great." Although the god of prison is impartial, it is indeed a little excessive. ”
The Holy Mother of Wudang snorted coldly and said, "What impartial law enforcement! It's just that his master is a real person in Taiyi, and he deliberately sells his direct invitation name! ”
"The god of hell is a little reckless."
Guanyin knew very well that what the Holy Mother of Wudang said was not necessarily what she thought in her heart, but more to show her her position and attitude of intercepting the religion.
casually echoed, and talked about the matter of the Bull Demon King: "The Bull Demon King didn't know what he thought, he thought that the Red Boy was all because of Sun Wukong, and the golden-winged Dapeng eagle, the yellow-toothed old elephant and other demons joined forces to detain the golden cicada and his party in Cuiyun Mountain." ”
Our Lady of Wudang said: "Guanyin Master rest assured, the golden cicada has great merit and great luck, and it will inevitably turn evil into good fortune and become auspicious in trouble." ”
Guanyin was completely relieved when he heard this, and said: "The Bull Demon King is also a deep calf protector, although he acts a little impulsively, but he is also reasonable. ”
The two sides did not say it explicitly, but everything was left unspoken.
Guanyin did not linger any longer, and immediately took his leave and flew to heaven.
Knowing that the Jade Emperor led a group of civil and martial immortals to watch the battle at the West Heavenly Gate, he hurried over.
I saw that above the West Heavenly Gate, a water mirror turned around, and inside was the scene of Li Jing and his son leading troops to recruit the Bull Demon King.
Just like when he conquered Huaguo Mountain, Li Jing didn't dare to step forward at all, so he sat in the army, and only let Nezha, the Four Heavenly Kings, the Twenty-Eight Stars, and the Twelve Yuanchen Heavenly Gods lead the troops to ask for battle.
Today's Twenty-Eight Constellations and Twelve Yuanchen are no longer the sectarian disciples on the god list, but the newly canonized gods of the Jade Emperor, and they are not like the previous group of sectarian disciples who deal with errands perfunctorily.
However, the one in front of him is no longer just a Monkey King!
It's the Bull Demon King, the Golden-winged Dapeng Eagle, the Yellow Toothed Old Elephant, and the Hundred-Eyed Demon King......
This large group of demon kings is not weaker than or even stronger than the monkeys!
From the very beginning of the war, there were signs of one-sidedness!
Nezha's strength is much stronger than back then, but the Bull Demon King is also much stronger than the monkey at the beginning, the two fight together, you come and go, and you can't tell the winner in a short time.
And the other immortals are not vulnerable at all!
The golden-winged Dapeng Eagle blocked the twenty-eight constellations with only one person, relying on his fast speed, he played with the twenty-eight constellations in the palm of his hand, and in just a moment, he injured seven.
The Yellow Tooth Old Elephant and the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord teamed up against the Four Heavenly Kings.
The strength of the two sides is not at all in the same class.
The yellow-tusked old elephant only rolled the trunk and took down the growth king.
The other three Heavenly Kings wanted to come forward to save people, but they were dragged by the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord alone.
The King of Heaven was not careful, and was entangled with spider silk by the spider spirits who were secretly ambushed, and he was defeated on the spot in an instant.
It was only two quarters of an hour.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the other two hurriedly retreated, and only then did they get away with it.
Sai Tai Sui, the Red Lotus Demon King, and the Shura Ghost King also found their own opponents.
Except for the Ruyi True Immortal, after the slight defeat, the others either gained the upper hand or easily defeated the opponent.
Li Jing was shocked, and immediately Mingjin Life, leading an army of 100,000 to retreat for a hundred miles before he dared to stop.
The Jade Emperor knew that it would be difficult for Li Jing to win, but he didn't expect to lose so quickly, and he couldn't save face, and asked, "Who is willing to go down to help Li Tianwang?" ”
Yang Jian was about to step forward to ask for his life, when he heard Guanyin speak: "Your Majesty, this matter started because of the God of Prison, and it should also end because of the God of Prison." If Your Majesty lets the Prison God lead the troops, he will definitely be able to subdue the demons and subdue the demons, and the merits will be complete. ”
