Chapter 125 Familiar People
"Something is calling you?" Li Anran was a little surprised.
"Yeah." Yang Jian nodded, without saying anything more, but closed his eyes and felt it carefully.
After a moment, Yang Jian opened his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Brother Li, I want to go over and take a look."
Yang Jian was very sure that he was not bewitched by any magic power or magic weapon.
The vague calling came from the bottom of his heart and was becoming stronger and stronger, giving him a desperate urge to find out what was going on immediately.
This impulse, which seems to be almost sudden, seems to be without any reason, but in fact it is a warning from heaven to those who have great destiny.
There must be someone close to him or something extremely important to him in there!
Once he misses it, he will definitely regret it in the future!
"Okay." Li Anran agreed without hesitation, and then told Yang Jian the information he knew about the inner layer of cell A.
"I don't know exactly what's inside the A-type cell. The two generals guarding the gate are the turtle and snake generals under the Zhenwu Demon-killing Emperor. Sometimes the Zhenwu Emperor himself will come here to take charge."
The Great Emperor Zhenwu Dangmo was born after the catastrophe of the Conferred Gods. Although he had only practiced for less than ten thousand years, because he had been enduring hardships since birth, his cultivation had long reached the realm of Daluo Jinxian.
He is the Jade Emperor's trusted confidant, and the soldiers under his command are the real elite of Heaven. His main task on weekdays is to guard the North Gate of Heaven and suppress the demons and monsters in Uttarakuru.
The inner layer of the No. A prison cell is of great importance, and the Jade Emperor has entrusted it to the Zhenwu Emperor to guard. No one is allowed to .
Even Li Anran, the prison keeper god, is no exception.
Yang Jian's eyes focused. He knew better than Li Anran how powerful Emperor Zhenwu was.
But judging from the fact that the Jade Emperor had the two most powerful generals, the Turtle and the Snake, under the command of the Zhenwu Emperor guard the inner layer of the No. A prison cell, there must be something wrong with the inner layer of the No. A prison cell!
And there is a big problem!
Yang Jian said: "Let's go over and take a look at the situation first. If the Great Emperor Zhenwu is here, we can put this matter aside for now and talk about it later when we have the chance."
Li Anran naturally would not have any objection.
The two of them briefly discussed countermeasures and decided that Li Anran would hold the gatekeeper back while Yang Jian would take the opportunity to find a way to sneak in.
This is if everything goes well.
If things don't go well, then leave first. It's better to do nothing than to alert the enemy, so that it won't be more difficult to enter in the future!
Afterwards, Yang Jian used his magical powers to hide in Li Anran's sleeves.
Li Anran took him to the inner layer of cell A.
This was also Li Anran's first time here, and he carefully observed the surrounding environment.
There are nine floors in the Tianlao, and the overall shape is an inverted pyramid. The area becomes smaller as you go down.
However, this small is also relative.
Even this smallest and most basic floor still covers an area of several miles.
The passage between the inner and outer layers of the No. A cells is very spacious, more than five meters high, and can accommodate seven or eight people walking side by side.
Every few meters, there was a brazier hanging on the wall for lighting, but the flame did not give people any warmth. Instead, it brought with it a bone-chilling chill that surged in.
"Is this a formation?!"
Li Anran quickly saw some clues.
The walls on both sides are built with stones from the bottom of Tianhe River.
The Milky Way is made up of all the heartless people in the world. These stones are washed by the water of the Milky Way day and night, and they themselves carry countless heartless people.
The flame in the brazier is not an ordinary flame, but an extremely cold ghost fire from the underworld.
The two together form a dark evil formation, which can inadvertently affect people's character and make them go astray.
More importantly, if you want to break the formation, you must break them into pieces. Once they are broken, the impact of the formation will be doubled.
This is difficult for ordinary cultivators, but it is not a problem for Li Anran who has practiced the Hehuan technique.
"If we really encounter danger, we can just break through the wall and escape! I am not afraid of this heartless and ungrateful spirit, but others may not be able to bear it!"
Li Anran's mind moved, and a layer of faint white light appeared around him, isolating the surrounding heartlessness and evil spirits.
This is not to isolate himself, but to isolate Yang Jian.
With Yang Jian's character and cultivation, he should not be affected by this formation.
However, Yang Jian is now hiding in his sleeves, and it is difficult for him to use his magic power, so it is hard to say whether he will be affected.
Li Anran walked about a hundred steps further inside, turned a corridor, and suddenly the view in front of him opened up to a huge stone chamber.
Opposite the entrance to the stone chamber is a stone door with a statue on each side.
On the left is a black turtle and on the right is a snake.
Buzz!
The moment Li Anran walked into the stone chamber, the stone-gray color on the snake's body faded away and turned into pure black, and it came to life.
"Who is it!" Sishe asked sternly.
"Li Anran, the prison god, greets General Snake." Li Anran greeted.
Sishe looked Li Anran up and down, and after confirming that he was right, he asked, "What are you doing here?"
"I'm here to ask General Snake, is there anything I can do for you?"
Seeing Sishe's alert and doubtful face, Li Anran deliberately made a helpless expression and explained: "Although this place is not under my jurisdiction, it is still in the Heavenly Prison. The Jiazi Examination of the Heavenly Court is coming soon. I am worried that Yang Jian will use this as an excuse to cause trouble for me. I came to see if there is anything I can do here, so as not to give Yang Jian any reason to talk nonsense!"
The conflict between Li Anran and Yang Jian is known to everyone in Heaven.
It is also well known that Yang Jian used the Jiazi investigation to eliminate dissidents.
Sishe did not doubt anything, just shook his head and said, "No need. I am here, there will be no problem. The prison god just needs to take care of the outside."
"That's good."
Li Anran deliberately breathed a sigh of relief, and his eyes seemed to casually sweep over the black tortoise statue next to him, but in fact he confirmed that the black tortoise was not there, and the stone statue was just a stone statue.
If there is only one Snake, it would be an opportunity!
Li Anran thought this in his heart, but he pretended to say goodbye and leave.
When he was halfway there, he suddenly turned around and asked, "By the way! General Snake, I have something to ask you. Does the Great Emperor Zhenwu usually stay at the North Heaven Gate or the Zhenwu Palace?"
Snake suddenly became alert again and asked, "Why are you asking this?"
Li Anran said, "I previously captured the Nine-headed Insect, the disciple of Demon Master Kunpeng, in Xiniu Hezhou, and I am preparing to send it to the Demon Slaying Platform to kill it. I want to ask the Great Emperor Zhenwu about the situation of the Demon Master's Mansion in the North Sea, so that I can be prepared to avoid being ambushed by the Demon Master's Mansion in the future."
Upon hearing this, Sishe's expression immediately relaxed.
The Great Emperor Zhenwu is in charge of guarding the North Gate of Heaven. The monsters they deal with most on a daily basis are the monsters from Beijuluzhou, and these monsters are more or less related to the Demon Master's Mansion.
They had a deep-seated grudge against the Demon Master's Mansion. When they heard that Li Anran had captured Kunpeng's apprentice and was going to kill him, they felt a little more favorable towards Li Anran.
Sishe thought about it and said, "Why bother the Emperor with this? I can tell you."
Afterwards, Sishe told Li Anran the information about the Demon Master's Mansion.
From the location of the Demon Master's Mansion to the members in the Demon Master's Mansion and even their personalities, everything was explained one by one.
Li Anran kept nodding and listening very carefully. Occasionally, he would ask for some details and put forward some ideas.
It didn't notice that when Li Anran was talking to him, a little pink light flashed deep in his eyes.
It is the Hehuan technique!
The techniques that stir up emotions are difficult to detect, and Li Anran has already mastered the Hehuan Kung Fu to the maximum level. He performed it with great care, and Sishe did not notice anything wrong at all.
Instead, it felt that many of Li Anran's ideas coincided with its own, and it felt like it had met a close friend.
I started talking more unconsciously.
Li Anran was worried that he might do more harm than good, so he didn't try any more tricks. He just threw his sleeves back and inadvertently threw Yang Jian out of the stone gate.
It has to be said that Yang Jian does have many methods. Li Anran didn't see what he did, nor did he notice anything unusual.
When he glanced over again, Yang Jian had disappeared, apparently having entered the inner layer of cell A.
Li Anran felt relieved and focused on dealing with the Snake.
On the other side, Yang Jian entered the inner layer of cell A, but the scene in front of him suddenly changed.
The brown and yellow walls and the dim flames disappeared, replaced by the clear blue sky and the beautiful scenery surrounded by mountains and water.
"Is this a small world?!"
Yang Jian was startled, but soon his attention was attracted by the scene in the distance.
Surrounded by mountains and water, there were three or two bamboo houses dotted in the sparse woods, a winding path stretched out, and at the corner, an old elm tree struck by lightning had half its branches withered.
This scenery was not uncommon, nor was it particularly beautiful, but Yang Jian was stunned into silence.
Because this scene has appeared in his dreams countless times!
This is exactly where he lived as a child!
Yangjia Village, Guanjiangkou!
"Is it a hallucination?"
After a while, Yang Jian came back to his senses. He used his spiritual sense to carefully feel the surroundings, only to find that everything before him was not an illusion, but real.
What is going on…
A possibility suddenly flashed through Yang Jian’s mind.
For a moment, it was as if an electric current passed through his body, causing him to tremble with excitement.
Yang Jian could no longer suppress his anxiety, and turned into a ray of golden light, flying towards the bamboo house.
But, halfway through the flight, he suddenly stopped.
A sense of crisis came over me.
It was as if if he took one more step forward, he would be doomed!
Without any hesitation, Yang Jian performed an invisibility trick to conceal his breath and figure, observing everything around him.
The big locust tree struck by lightning at the corner of the path, the weeping willows by the stream, the small fish in the water, the rabbit in the bushes, the goshawk above the head...
Yang Jian's eyes focused, these creatures were actually transformed from monsters, and their cultivation was not low!
And judging from their distribution centered around those bamboo houses, they were obviously monitoring the people in the bamboo houses!
"Change!" Yang Jian shook his body and turned into the most common butterfly in this small world. He mixed in with a group of butterflies and flew towards the bamboo house.
As I got closer, I could hear the creaking sound of loom cloth.
Familiar to the extreme.
Everything seemed like a dream.
Yang Jian was dazed for a moment.
He flapped his wings and flew to the window, landed on the window edge and looked into the house.
Inside the simple bamboo house, there were tables, chairs and benches. By the window was an old loom where a woman was weaving cloth.
The woman looked to be in her thirties. She was wearing a straw cloth skirt, but it still couldn't hide her beauty. She had a gentle and generous temperament, and exuded a maternal glow from the inside out.
Yang Jian's heart was greatly shocked.
For a moment, he almost failed to maintain the transformation technique.
Because the woman in the room was his biological mother, Yao Ji!
"What on earth is going on ?"
Yang Jian could hardly suppress the excitement in his heart, and at the same time he felt indescribable fear.
He was afraid that everything in front of him was an illusion, and this fear even made him afraid to confirm it!
After struggling for a while, Yang Jian finally plucked up the courage, quietly opened his third eye, and observed Yao Ji in the room.
Once, twice, three times...
Yang Jian looked her up and down again and again, and the woman in front of him was indeed his mother Yao Ji!
"What on earth is going on?"
Yang Jian found it a little unbelievable.
When the Heavenly Court discovered that his mother Yao Ji had married the mortal Yang Tianyou and gave birth to three children, it immediately sent heavenly soldiers and generals to capture his mother Yao Ji and bring her back to the Heavenly Court.
At that time, it was the period of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors. The human race was not as weak as in later generations. Even ordinary humans had the strength to fight against ferocious beasts and monsters after learning martial arts.
Not to mention, his father Yang Tianyou is a famous warrior within a hundred miles!
However, facing the encirclement and suppression by countless heavenly soldiers and generals, all resistance is futile.
His father Yang Tianyou and elder brother Yang Jiao died on the spot.
Mother Yao Ji tried her best but could only use magic to send him and his third sister away.
After that, he and his third sister began to wander around to avoid being hunted down by the Heavenly Court.
It was not until three years later that Nuwa appeared, took the third sister as her apprentice, and brought her to the Nuwa Palace.
He went to Jinxia Cave in Yuquan Mountain alone. After going through many tests, he finally became a disciple of Jade Ding Zhenren and learned the Eight-Nine Mysterious Arts.
In just ten years, he broke through to the Xuanxian realm. After learning that his mother was suppressed under Taoshan, he bid farewell to his master and went to Taoshan to rescue his mother.
At the beginning, everything went smoothly. He overcame various obstacles along the way and finally arrived at the foot of Taoshan Mountain and saw his mother whom he had not seen for thirteen years.
But, at this moment, the nightmare began.
The Jade Emperor cast a spell and transformed ten suns into something to burn his mother Yao Ji into ashes.
He carried the mountain and chased the sun, but it was of no use. He barely held on for three days and could only watch his mother Yao Ji die.
Afterwards, he went to the Heaven alone and wanted to kill the Jade Emperor to avenge his mother.
In the end, he was defeated and captured.
If his master had not appeared to save him, he would probably have died in heaven.
Since then, he has often fallen into self-blame and guilt.
If I had not been so impulsive at the beginning, if I had waited a few more years or decades, until my cultivation became stronger, and then went to Taoshan to save my mother, would I have been able to rescue her?
At the same time, he also hated the Jade Emperor, Queen Mother, and even the entire Heavenly Court!
Unexpectedly, today, he would meet his mother who had already died of a ghost here!
"Could it be that the Jade Emperor was soft-hearted and secretly saved my mother?"
Yang Jian found it a little unbelievable.
