"Hell God, you're finally back! Your Majesty has sent Tai Bai Xing down to look for you! ”

As soon as Li Anran and Nezha arrived outside the Nantian Gate, the Growth Heavenly King, who was guarding the Nantian Gate, quickly greeted him and said, "Go to the Lingxiao Treasure Palace!" ”

Behind him, a group of Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals had swords in their hands, and they were heavily guarded, more than twice as many as usual.

Li Anran asked, "Heavenly King, what's going on?" ”

The Heavenly King lowered his voice and said, "I heard from the heavenly general who guarded the Tianhe River that last night, the magpie fairy under the seat of the Queen Mother prepared to guide the magpie to build a bridge over the Tianhe River according to the custom, so that the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl could meet, but it turned out that the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl were dead, and their pair of children had disappeared. ”

Nezha asked, "Aren't they just two little dolls, as for making such a big noise?" ”

The Growth Heavenly King didn't answer, but only said vaguely: "I don't know about this. ”

He will tell Li Anran about this, firstly, because their brother owed Li Anran a favor because of the Macaque King's trespass in the Heavenly Palace, and secondly, because the Jade Emperor summoned Li Anran over for this matter, he just said it for a while in advance.

As for Nezha's question, it was inconvenient for him to answer.

Nezha heard the perfunctory meaning of the Growth Heavenly King, raised his eyebrows, and was about to have a seizure, but was stopped by Li Anran.

"Thank you for telling me about this!"

Li Anran thanked him, and pulled Nezha to leave.

Nezha has been combing the leylines in the volcano for so many years, and his temper has not changed at all, but has become more popular!

It's not all bad, though!

There is a saying of obedience and disobedience in practice, and if it is obedient, it will lock the heart, ape, and tie the meaning of horses, heaven and man, and if it is reversed, it will realize the root of the heart and cultivate the root of the thoughts.

Taiyi Tianzun has always wanted to polish Nezha's heart, and he has taken the route of conforming to the way of heaven, and it is also the route of expounding and cultivating.

The latter is the sectarian practice route, which is disgusted and disliked by Taiyi Tianzun, but it does not mean that it is worse than the former.

There are three thousand avenues, and it is feasible to go along with and against the sky, but it is much easier to conform to the way of heaven than to go against the sky!

Nezha said: "Li Anran, what are you stopping me from doing?" That Mo Liqing was also a happy man back then, and now he is talking secretly, which is really annoying! ”

Li Anran said: "This matter has nothing to do with others!" It's good that he can tell us this, so why bother him! I'll go to the Lingxiao Treasure Hall first, you go to the Heavenly Prison Palace for a cup of tea, and I'll go to you with my second brother later!" ”

Li Anran sent Nezha away and flew towards the Lingxiao Treasure Palace.

In his heart, he thought of the last time he was studying with Nezha by the Tianhe River, he accidentally discovered that there was a bay leaf hidden in the body of the Cowherd and the Weaver daughter.

Tianhe is the place where the unrighteous qi of the world gathers, and the immortals will gradually lose their seven emotions and six desires after staying for a long time, and become indifferent, selfish, ruthless and unrighteous.

And the laurel tree is one of the ten innate spiritual roots, born on the Taiyin Star, for the ancient Taiyin Star Monarch is also the demon queen of the ancient demon court, Xi and all, the branches and leaves are the most yin and soft things in the world.

Those two bay leaves were enough to help the children of the Cowherd and Weaver Girl resist the cold of the Tianhe River, and let them retain their normal mental and emotional feelings.

Li Anran didn't know what Xi He's purpose was, so he told Yang Jian about it.

Yang Jian himself is also a mixed race of humans and gods, and has experienced the taste of being persecuted by Heaven until his family is ruined.

Although he didn't look down on the cowherd who was tricked by demons into stealing people's clothes and forcibly marrying the Weaver Girl, he was full of pity and sympathy for the Weaver Girl and her pair of children, and he also tried to help the Weaver Girl and her innocent children get rid of their crimes.

However, the Jade Emperor and Queen Mother hated the fact that the gods moved their hearts, and insisted on imprisoning the Cowherd and Weaver Girl on both sides of the Tianhe River to set an example.

The annual Queqiao meeting seems to be a grace, but in fact, it is to make the indifferent, selfish, ruthless, and unrighteous Cowherd and Weaver Girl family who are washed by the Tianhe River kill each other, which can be described as extremely vicious.

In order not to affect his long-term plan to revise the Heavenly Rules, Yang Jian did not directly help the Weaver Girl family get out of the sea of suffering.

Zhixi is willing to use bay leaves to protect the souls of the Weaver Girl's children, which is exactly what he wants.

Yang Jian told Li Anran not to tell anyone about this at that time, and he only thought he didn't know.

At this time, hearing the words of the Growth Heavenly King, Li Anran immediately thought of Xihe.

Could Xihe be the one who wants to use the pair of children of the Girl and the Weaver Girl to deal with the Heavenly Court?

Li Anran didn't know why Xi He had been honestly living in seclusion in Taiyin Star for so many years, and now he suddenly had this action.

However, if she really wanted to use the Girl and Weaver Girl's pair of children of mixed human and god blood against Heavenly Court, then she was thinking too much!

The gap between human-god hybrids and human-god hybrids is no smaller than the gap between humans and dogs!

Yang Jian and the Three Holy Ladies are still brothers and sisters, but Yang Jian is already a Da Luo Golden Immortal and a top powerhouse in the Three Realms, and the Three Holy Ladies are still just a Golden Immortal, and they haven't even made Taiyi!

Although there is a reason for the loose cultivation of the Three Holy Mothers, the Three Holy Mothers worshipped Nuwa Niangniang as their teacher, and Yang Jian fed various heavenly materials and earth treasures, plus he has gained many merits as an earth immortal over the years, and these bonuses are no worse than diligent and penance!

The qualifications of the Cowherd and Weaver Girl's sons and daughters are not good, slightly inferior to the Three Virgins!

If there is no special opportunity, it is already enough to break through to the Xuan Immortal within a hundred years, and it is basically impossible to use them to deal with the Heavenly Court, but it is more than enough to disgusting and disgusting the Jade Emperor and Queen Mother!

For example, now.

On the one hand, the Heavenly Court strengthened its vigilance and strictly forbade anyone to enter and leave the Heavenly Court, and on the other hand, it kept it a secret, not letting the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals below know about it, obviously feeling that he had lost face, rather than really being afraid of the two people who were half-blooded.

Although the Cowherd and Weaver Girl's family were imprisoned on both sides of the Tianhe River by the Jade Emperor and Queen Mother, and were guarded by the Tianhe Water Army, as the god of the prison, this matter could always have something to do with him.

The Jade Emperor urgently summoned him to the Lingxiao Treasure Hall to meet him, presumably to hand over this matter to him.

Soon, Li Anran arrived outside the Lingxiao Treasure Hall.

Zhang Tianshi had already received the will of the Jade Emperor, and after waiting there for a long time, when he saw Li Anran appear, he directly brought him into the palace.

In the Lingxiao Treasure Palace, there are only three people: the Jade Emperor, the Queen Mother, and Yang Jian.

Obviously, the Jade Emperor Queen Mother didn't want too many people to know about this.

However, judging from the fact that the Growth Heavenly King was able to learn about this matter from the generals of the naval army guarding the Tianhe, it is estimated that this matter cannot be concealed from too many people.

The Jade Emperor's mother's approach is at most to keep this matter from being stabbed in the open, making them lose face.

After a salute.

The Jade Emperor nodded to Yang Jian, and then Yang Jian talked about the Cowherd and Weaver Girl.

The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl have been on both sides of the Tianhe River for hundreds of years.

After so many years, and there has never been any accident, the Tianhe Water Army has long since relaxed its supervision of them.

If it weren't for the day of the Seven Magpie Bridge Meeting in early July, when the Magpie Fairy was building the Magpie Bridge, he noticed that something was wrong with the Cowherd and Weaver Girl's family, and I don't know when anyone would find out about it.

The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl are not simply dead, but completely gone.

Their sons and daughters vanished into thin air.

After the Jade Emperor Queen Mother learned of this, she searched the Tianhe River up and down, but failed to find any trace.

In order to maintain the face of the heavenly court, the queen mother had no choice but to use a spell to transform into the appearance of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl's family, and completed this year's Queqiao meeting on their behalf.

However, this kind of behavior of covering her ears and stealing the bell, the queen mother was not embarrassed to let the Cowherd and Weaver Girl's family kill each other as in previous years, mother and son, father and son, husband and wife, and only met in a hurry, and it ended hastily.

"I've sent the Howling Dog to investigate the matter. However, Tianhe is cold to cold, and all the smells have been washed away, so I am afraid it is difficult to find clues. ”

Yang Jian said seriously.

The tone and expression are the same as in the past.

However, Li Anran sensed a wisp of anger and hatred for Yang Jian from the Queen Mother.

Obviously, the Queen Mother recognized Yang Jian as mocking herself in her heart.

The Queen Mother had a gloomy face and said in a cold voice: "Li Anran, as the god of prison, it is also your duty to take care of the Cowherd and Weaver Girl!" Now that this kind of thing is happening, what are you going to do? ”

Li Anran: "??? "This is to see that I am a bully, and I will put the pot on my head with one mouth, right?

Li Anran sneered in his heart, the relationship between the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother and them is that of a monarch and a minister, but it is different from the monarch and minister of the mortal world!

The kings of the mortal world can kill and take away, but the Jade Emperor and Queen Mother can't!

Li Anran said directly: "Niangniang, if the little god is not mistaken, the little god once played Your Majesty, Tianhe is far away thirty-three days away, and the heavenly soldiers and heavenly generals in the prison are difficult to take care of, please Your Majesty will detain the Cowherd and Weaver Girl in the prison." ”

"It was Niangniang who insisted on imprisoning them by the Tianhe, and said that with the Tianhe Water Master in charge, it was impossible for them to escape. Why is it that if something happens now, you have to put all the blame on the little god? ”

Li Anran is in the prison on weekdays, although he is tied with Yang Jian and Nezha as the three gods of war in the heavenly court, he rarely participates in court meetings, and he is the most low-key among the three.

The queen mother didn't know much about Li Anran, and at this time, Li Anran was directly scolded back, and the whole person was stunned.

When he came back to his senses, he was furious and shouted: "Presumptuous! Li Anran, what do you mean by this? Isn't Mo blaming this palace for not being successful? ”

Li Anran didn't eat this set at all, and bowed his hand lightly, and said: "The little god is not good at words, he will only tell the truth, please forgive the mother." ”

"You!" The Queen Mother's face turned red with anger, and she couldn't say a word for a long time.

Whether it is Yang Jian or other immortals in the heavenly court, when facing her, they are either respectful and flattering, or neither humble nor arrogant, polite and courteous, even if they disagree with her, they will be tactful and subtle when they refute her.

How can a small god like Li Anran seem to be respectful, but with his expressionless face, there is no undulating tone, no matter how you listen to it, it is full of yin and yang.

"Alright." The Jade Emperor interrupted the conversation between the two and said, "Now is not the time to find out who is responsible, the most important thing now is to solve the matter!" Find the real culprit who killed the Weaver Girl and get the two kidnapped children back! ”

Li Anran was slightly stunned, and immediately understood what the Jade Emperor meant.

Although the Cowherd and Weaver Girl are scattered, they have long been washed away by the cold air of Tianhe and all their beautiful emotions, leaving only selfishness and resentment, which is no different from changing individuals.

For them, it was a relief.

Those two children had bay leaf protection, did not lose their natural minds, and were undoubtedly saved.

But in the mouth of the Jade Emperor, the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl were killed by someone, and the two children were kidnapped.

In this way, even if this matter spreads, no one can say it, at least not on the surface, it can't be said that someone is not used to seeing the cruel and vicious methods of the Jade Emperor and Queen Mother and saved the children of the Weaver Girl.

Barely saved some face for himself.

Although this face smacks of self-deception.

This kind of thing has happened a lot over the years, and it is reasonable that the Jade Emperor will be like this now.

But......

Li Anran thought of the eloquent and ambitious brother Jade Emperor in Yao Ji's mouth, no matter how you look at it, it is far from the current Jade Emperor!

I don't know if it's because the years have changed, people's hearts have changed, or if there is another reason!

The Jade Emperor said: "Li Anran, Yang Jian has more important things to do, and the matter of the Cowherd and Weaver Girl will be left to you to solve, don't let me down." ”

Li Anran said: "The little god obeys the order. ”

It is impossible to resist the will, but whether it can be solved is another matter!

It's a big deal to be reprimanded a few words and deduct some money.

Li Anran didn't care.

After the Jade Emperor explained the matter of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, he asked Yang Jian and Li Anran to retire and leave.

After the two of them walked away, the queen mother asked, "Your Majesty, could this matter be that Yang Jian is shouting to catch a thief?" ”
