Chapter 112 Kui Mulang
"Li Anran, has the Heart-Searching Pearl been refined?"
As soon as Nezha heard the news, he hurriedly rode a cloud to the Tianlao Palace.
Li Anran nodded and handed the Heart-Questioning Pearl to Nezha.
On the surface, the Heart-Questioning Beads are not much different from the fake beads made before. They are the size of eggs and crystal clear.
However, when you scan it with your spiritual sense, you can sense the mysterious aura emanating from it, as if it can peek into people's hearts, making people unconsciously alert.
——This is a trap deliberately designed by Li Anran.
The purpose is to create the illusion that the Heart-Searching Pearl is a special method for spying on people's hearts, allowing the other party to focus on the soul and thus neglect the control of the body.
Nezha asked: "Can it really tell whether what others say is true or false?"
“It’s not about distinguishing between truth and falsehood, but about distinguishing whether the person being questioned is telling the truth or a lie.”
Li Anran corrected Nezha's statement.
His Heart-Questioning Pearl is similar to the mythical version of a lie detector, which can only detect lies but cannot verify whether the content of the words is true or false.
If the person being asked believes that he is telling the truth, even if the content of his words is wrong, the test result will be true.
Li Anran warned: "You'd better not let others know about this, otherwise it will be easy for others to find a way to deal with it and use the Questioning Heart Pearl to deceive you."
"I know this." Nezha has a deep understanding of this.
During the catastrophe of Conferred Gods, the disciples of Jiejiao had many magic weapons, and they were often successful when they were used for the first time.
However, as it is used more and more times, the Chan sect will find a way to counter it and crack it.
The Heart-Questioning Pearl is no exception.
This is also the reason why most cultivators will not easily use their own magic weapons but choose to use divine weapons.
Nezha said, "Li Anran, let me borrow your Heart-Searching Pearl for a few days. I will return it to you after I have used it."
Li Anran waved his hand: "It was originally made for you, just use it."
Nezha thanked him, put the Heart-Questioning Pearl in his arms, and couldn't wait to say goodbye and leave.
Standing on the cloud, looking around.
Nezha's eyes lit up, and he flew downwards on a cloud, waving and shouting, "Kui Mulang! Kui Mulang! Stay!"
Ever since the disciples of Jiejiao escaped from the List of Gods, most of the 365 gods have been replaced by new faces.
This Kuimulang is one of them.
He was originally a celestial general guarding the Pixiang Hall. Because of his self-denial and dedication as well as his great magical powers, he was rated as top-notch in each of the three Jiazi assessments.
His status and position rose accordingly, and at the last Jiazi review, he successfully became Kuimu Lang among the twenty-eight constellations.
Also because of this Jiazi assessment of the gods, the four gods of Fighting, Thunder, Fire and Plague no longer dared to lie down and do nothing as they did before, and often obeyed Li Jing's orders and came down to earth to eliminate demons.
Kuimu Lang is considered a good fighter among the twenty-eight constellations. He has fought alongside Nezha several times and they are considered acquaintances, with whom he has a pretty good relationship.
Kuimulang was thinking about something with a frown on his face, when he suddenly heard someone shouting behind him. He was so scared that he started to sweat all over.
When he realized it was Nezha, he heaved a sigh of relief and asked respectfully, "Third Prince, what do you want to talk to me about?"
"Nothing, I just happened to meet you and said hello."
Nezha naturally couldn't say that he wanted to use Kuimu Lang to test the Heart-Searching Pearl, so he laughed it off and noticed that Kuimu Lang looked a little bad, so he asked with concern: "Kui Mulang, why do you look so bad? What happened?"
Kuimulang's expression froze, and his smile was somewhat forced: "I had some problems with my training a few days ago, but it's nothing serious."
Huh? Lies?!
Nezha noticed that the Heart-Questioning Pearl in his sleeve was emitting red light. He was a little surprised and didn't understand why Kuimulang lied to him.
Seeing Kuimu Lang's eyes flickering and he looked very guilty, Nezha's heart moved and he deliberately said: "I'm afraid it's not because of this! Kuimu Lang, I wonder if you have ever heard of a saying, if you don't want others to know, then don't do it yourself!"
Kuimulang's face turned pale as paper, and he cried out, "You...you know everything?"
Is there really something wrong?
Nezha was a little surprised, but he deliberately kept a straight face and asked, "What do you think?"
Kuimulang didn't say anything, but stared at Nezha with his eyes fixed, his expression changing constantly, sometimes fearful, sometimes fierce, and sometimes conflicted and hesitant.
Nezha's eyes fixed and he immediately became alert.
He didn't expect that his casual lie would provoke such a big reaction from Kuimulang.
Could it be that Kuimulang really committed some unforgivable crime?
Just as Nezha was guessing, Kuimu Lang fell to his knees with a plop and shouted, "Third Prince, this is not what I want! It was the Fairy Shixiang in the Pixiang Palace who deliberately seduced me, so I became tempted! Please forgive me this time!"
Nezha: “!!!” It’s true!
Nezha was shocked and understood why Kuimulang wanted to kill him just now.
There are many strict rules in heaven, but the most thoroughly enforced one is “no worldly desires”!
Because, the Queen Mother called it the source of all evil in the three realms!
Not to mention that Kuimulang is only one of the twenty-eight constellations. Even if he is the head of the Dou department, he will be accused of "having worldly desires" and will at least be sent down to the mortal world to endure tribulations and rebuild his life.
It is understandable that he would want to kill to silence the witness.
"Third Prince, I was really confused back then!"
Kuimulang told everything about himself and Fairy Shixiang.
Kuimu Wolf is a wolf that became a spirit. More than 3,200 years ago, he accepted the call of the Heavenly Court and became a low-ranking general.
He thought that with his profound immortal cultivation, he would soon be able to rise to prominence in the heavenly court and become a powerful and majestic god.
Unexpectedly, the Heavenly Court had a strict hierarchy, and the positions of the 365 gods had already been determined.
In addition, the few high-level immortal positions are also occupied by Xuanmen disciples.
Kuimulang had no identity or background, and was a demon fairy. He had been in heaven for more than three thousand years, but had only been promoted from a low-ranking heavenly general to a heavenly general guarding the Pixiang Hall. His status and power had only been limited, and he had no freedom at all.
You can only stay in the Pixiang Hall all day and are not allowed to go out at will.
Kuimulang could still bear it at the beginning. He was ecstatic about the rich spiritual energy in the heaven. He practiced diligently every day and advanced from the initial stage of Xuanxian to the peak of Xuanxian.
However, after his cultivation reached the peak of Xuanxian, he encountered a bottleneck, and no matter how hard he practiced, he could not make any progress.
After a long time, Kuimulang became depressed and resentful.
He didn't dare to rebel against Heaven like the monkey did, so he could only stay in the Hall of Fragrance and spend his days in a daze.
Fairy Shixiang took advantage of his frustration and seduced him repeatedly. In the end, she deliberately made him drink, and when he was drunk, she forced him to have physical contact.
He was forced to submit to Fairy Shixiang until now.
"Third Prince, I went to the Pixiang Palace this time just to sever my relationship with the Fairy Shixiang! I beg you to give me a chance because of my hard work over the years! I beg you, Third Prince!"
Kuimulang was crying and regretting his actions, but Nezha's face became more and more ugly.
What Kuimulang said in the first half was true, the Heart-Questioning Pearl had been glowing green.
However, when he talked about himself and Fairy Shixiang, the Heart-Questioning Pearl instantly turned red!
Obviously, the second half of what Kuimulang said should be the opposite!
It was he who seduced the Fairy Shixiang, made her drink, and had physical contact with her!
Now, he has become Kuimulang and has a bright future, so he is anxious to get rid of the burden of Fairy Shixiang!
As a result, he happened to be bumped into by Nezha!
He mistakenly thought that Nezha knew everything, and in order to avoid punishment, he pushed all the faults onto Fairy Shixiang!
There was a flash of anger in Nezha's eyes, he didn't care whether he was tempted by worldly desires or not.
Being a god is not like being a stone, so what’s wrong with having worldly desires?
What made him angry was that Kuimulang, a real man, was full of lies and had no sense of responsibility!
And you dare to treat him like a fool!
It's really hateful!
Nezha wanted to shoot Kuimu Lang to let him know how powerful he was, but after hesitating for a moment, he said coldly: "Kui Mulang, you don't have to beg me! I'm not the God of Justice, so I can't control your mortal desires! But you'd better stop this matter as soon as possible to avoid hurting others and yourself!"
Nezha has been with Li Anran for many years, and has been influenced by him imperceptibly.
He knew very well that if Kuimu Lang and Fairy Shixiang reported this to the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother, the only one who would suffer would be Fairy Shixiang!
Kuimulang will be punished, but it will never be too severe!
because--
The Queen Mother would like Kuimulang's ruthlessness of turning his back on others and even biting back!
This just goes to show that the so-called love is all false and it is wrong to have worldly desires!
In addition, Kuimulang has reached the peak of Xuanxian cultivation, which is one of the best among the twenty-eight constellations.
The Jade Emperor would not easily abandon such a subordinate who admits his mistakes, corrects them and obeys orders.
"Thank you, Third Prince! Thank you, Third Prince!" Kuimulang was so grateful that he kept thanking him.
Nezha felt sick when he looked at his flattering face. He said, "Take care of yourself" and flew away to Yunlou Palace on a cloud.
After the incident with Kuimulang, Nezha realized the power of the Heart-Questioning Pearl and prepared to go find Li Jing.
As long as Master understands that Li Jing doesn't have any father-son feelings towards me, he won't force me to stick to that damn filial piety anymore!
When Nezha thought about this, his mood, which had been a little annoyed and angry, suddenly improved.
Although Li Jing's Linglong Pagoda is his nemesis, he is not without a way to deal with it!
He didn't spend these ten thousand years in vain!
What really made him unable to resist was that damn filial piety and Taiyi Zhenren who insisted that he follow filial piety!
However, when he arrived at Yunlou Palace and asked, he found out that Li Jing was not in the palace, but had been summoned to Lingshan by Tathagata.
Nezha was greatly disappointed and did not want to stay in the Yunlou Palace for long, so he rode his cloud and wandered around the Heavenly Palace aimlessly.
After flying for a while, Nezha felt a little sleepy, so he simply lay down on the clouds and fell asleep.
When he opened his eyes again, it was already dark. A huge full moon hung in the sky. The bright moonlight sprinkled on the ground, covering everything with a layer of white gauze.
Nezha stood up and was about to go to Yunlou Palace to see if Li Jing had returned, but when he took a quick look, he was suddenly stunned.
In the distance, I saw a dark and gloomy palace sitting alone outside the nine heavens. The silence was filled with deep loneliness and a bone-chilling chill.
In the open space in front of the palace, a familiar figure stood alone, wearing a long black cloak and a loose shawl. He was looking up at the full moon in the sky, lost in thought.
For some reason, Nezha suddenly felt a little distressed.
He subconsciously clenched the heart-searching bead in his hand, and suddenly his mind flashed through the words that Li Anran had once advised him.
"Second Master has never done anything to let you and me down. Nezha, even if you don't want to reconcile with him, there is no need to confront him on every issue."
I have never done anything to let you down...
Li Anran's voice kept echoing in Nezha's mind.
An idea suddenly occurred to him, and it spread rapidly like a weed that could never be eradicated.
Nezha hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, descended from the clouds, landed in front of the figure, and shouted: "Yang Jian! How long are you going to hide the matter of Lei Zhenzi from me!"
Yang Jian was lost in thought, thinking about what happened that year, when he was suddenly frightened by Nezha. He almost subconsciously blurted out, "Did Master Taiyi tell you about it?"
Nezha's heart was shocked.
The matter of Lei Zhenzi turned out to be a real problem!
And Master knows it too!
Surprise, disbelief and indescribable ecstasy surged into my heart.
Nezha suppressed his emotions and said coldly: "What do you think!"
Yang Jian said, "Since you already know everything, are you here to seek revenge on me? Humph, I tried to persuade Lei Zhenzi not to meddle in other people's business, but he didn't listen, so I had no choice but to kill him!"
Nezha tried very hard to hide his emotions, but Yang Jian still saw through it at a glance and instantly concluded that Nezha was deceiving him.
Yang Jian quickly followed up on what he had just said and changed the previous "he accidentally killed Lei Zhenzi" to "he killed Lei Zhenzi on purpose."
Nezha's expression changed and he looked at Yang Jian with gritted teeth.
Just when Yang Jian thought he had deceived Nezha, he saw Nezha take out a bead emitting a dazzling red light from his arms.
"Yang Jian! Hong Guang! You are lying!"
"Questioning Heart Pearl?!"
Yang Jian was stunned for a moment, then he said: "Didn't the prison god tell you? There is no such thing as a heart-searching bead in the prison. It was just a lie he made up to deceive my third sister!"
Nezha sneered, "It was like that before, but not now! He made this Heart-Searching Pearl with the Hundred Treasures Bag! Yang Jian, you should know the use of the Hundred Treasures Bag, right? Don't you need me to explain it to you again?"
Yang Jian was stunned.
I didn't expect this to happen!
Nezha stared at Yang Jian angrily and asked, "Why? Why don't you tell me what happened? Why do you take everything on yourself? Why?"
Yang Jian was silent for a while, then he said, "Nezha, some things are better left unsaid. Lei Zhenzi has been dead for so many years, why do you have to dig into the details and know what happened back then!"
Nezha shouted, "Yang Jian! I am the Great God of the Three Altars and Sea Assembly in the Heavenly Palace, not the ignorant kid from the past! I don't need you to help me decide anything, I don't want to be a fool!"
