Chapter 141: Immortal Tea Conference
“Prison God, although I have practiced for more than three hundred years, I have been in the Flame Mountain since I was a child, and no one has ever taught me what I should and should not do!”
"I didn't do anything that violated the Heavenly Law intentionally! I now know I was wrong, please forgive me this time! I will definitely turn over a new leaf and never do evil again!"
Smart people always know the current situation.
Red Boy is no exception.
He was surprised to hear the monkey begging for mercy. Then he quickly put on a pitiful look, admitted his fault to Li Anran, and then begged the monkey, "Uncle, please save me for my father's sake!"
Monkey felt a little bit reluctant and looked at Li Anran in embarrassment: "Brother Li!"
Li Anran didn't buy it and sneered, "If admitting one's mistakes is useful, then what's the point of the Heavenly Laws and Regulations?"
Seeing that the monkey still wanted to plead for mercy, he frowned and said in a cold voice: "Sun Wukong, it was you who said that Red Boy violated the heavenly law, and it was you who asked me to descend to the earth to subdue the demon. Now you want to plead for him again. Don't you think I'm easy to bully?"
The monkey was startled and quickly explained: "Brother Li, don't misunderstand! I would never dare to have such an idea!"
Li Anran had no idea what Monkey's personality was like before.
But after five hundred years of suffering under the Five Elements Mountain, his temperament became much more mellow.
To put it nicely, it means respecting the strong.
To put it bluntly, that's a typical case of bullying the weak and fearing the strong!
He killed the monster with no background with a stick without saying a word.
As for the monsters with strong backgrounds, they should just let their masters take them away.
When talking about Jade Lord Laojun, he called him "old man" when he opened his mouth and "old man" when he closed his mouth, in a casual and casual manner.
For Tathagata and Guanyin, they were changed to "Bodhisattva" and "Buddha" with reverence.
Before today, Monkey's knowledge of Li Anran was that he was the prison god in charge of the Heavenly Prison. He was a nice person, held a high position, and had a very casual attitude.
But after seeing Li Anran cast a spell to extinguish the Samadhi Fire and defeat Red Boy in a few moves, his attitude changed 180 degrees.
"That's good." Li Anran was too lazy to waste time with the monkey and said, "Sun Wukong, even though we have captured Red Boy, there are still many monsters in the Fire Cloud Cave. You should go and save your master. I also want to go back to my prison."
After saying that, Li Anran rode on a auspicious cloud and flew to heaven with Red Boy.
The monkey wanted to catch up but was hesitant. Finally, he just shook his head and sighed, turned around and went into the Fire Cloud Cave to rescue Tang Seng and Zhu Bajie.
Zhu Bajie asked, "Brother Monkey, where is Red Boy?"
The monkey said, "He was captured by the prison god."
"The prison god?!" Zhu Bajie was greatly shocked. His whole body tensed up and he looked around hurriedly.
The monkey said, "Don't look for him anymore. He has taken Red Boy back to Heaven."
"It's good that he's gone! It's good that he's gone!"
Zhu Bajie heaved a sigh of relief, then suddenly came to his senses and muttered to himself, "No! I am afraid of what he will do! I am now a pilgrim from Lingshan Mountain, and he can't control me!"
The monkey couldn't help but ask, "Fool, do you also know the prison god?"
Zhu Bajie smiled awkwardly and said, "Who in the Three Realms doesn't know him?" Hesitating for a moment, he added, "I was captured by him and taken back to Heaven. I was imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison for nearly a hundred years before I was released!"
He briefly talked about how Zhu Bajie teamed up with Qiu Yin to deal with Li Anran, but was defeated by Li Anran and taken back to the Heavenly Prison.
Of course, some beautification is inevitable.
For example, he did not want to use his numbers to bully the weak, so he did not join Qiu Yin in taking action.
For example, he was hungry and had no strength, which was why he lost to Li Anran.
The monkey could hear the moisture in it, but he didn't know that the moisture in it was not as much as he thought.
A hundred years ago, when Li Anran dealt with Zhu Bajie, he was just a cultivator at the Xuanxian realm.
Now, he has reached the Golden Immortal realm.
The monkey couldn't help but ask, "What does the prison look like inside? How does it compare to the Five Finger Mountain that suppressed me, Sun?"
Zhu Bajie said: "It is slightly stronger than the Five Finger Mountain, but not much stronger!"
Because he was a disciple of Emperor Donghua and Emperor Donghua pleaded for him in front of the Jade Emperor, his treatment in the Heavenly Prison was relatively good.
Belongs to the category of sinful immortals, not the category of evildoers!
You just lost your freedom and couldn't practice cultivation, but you didn't need to eat copper pills or drink iron juice.
But even so, when Zhu Bajie recalled the days in the Heavenly Prison, he couldn't help but shudder. He would rather die than live that kind of life again.
"Alas, how can I, Old Sun, face Brother Niu again now?"
The monkey felt a little regretful and asked Li Anran to come down to earth to help him subdue the demon.
But now that things have come to this, there is nothing he can do!
While the brothers were talking, their hands were not idle. They killed all the little demons in the Fire Cloud Cave with sticks and rakes, and then set fire to the Fire Cloud Cave, turning it into a wasteland.
At the same time, Guanyin Bodhisattva also learned from the Five Directions Jie Di that Li Anran had captured Red Boy and brought him back to Heaven.
Guanyin said with a slight anger on her face: "I have told you before that you should report all matters related to the journey to the West, no matter how big or small, as soon as possible. Why did you wait until now?"
Wufang Jie Di hurriedly explained: "Bodhisattva, see clearly! It was not my disciple who delayed, but Sun Wukong's cloud speed was too fast. Before my disciple could react, he had already invited the prison god to the outside of the Red Cloud Cave."
"It only took them half an hour to capture Red Boy and bring him back to Heaven! I didn't have time to report this to the Bodhisattva!"
Half a quarter of an hour?
Guanyin was slightly surprised.
She knew Red Boy's abilities and was certain that the Monkey could not deal with him. She was just waiting for the Monkey to ask her for help, and then she would capture Red Boy.
While gaining merit, he will be converted into a good boy in the sect.
Unexpectedly, Li Anran got the upper hand!
Guanyin asked, "It only took the Prison God half a quarter of an hour to break Red Boy's Earth Fiery Formation and Samadhi True Fire and capture him? Did Sun Wukong make any move?"
Wufang Jie Di said: "It took a total of half a quarter of an hour."
Guanyin showed a look of "as expected", but also a little confused.
It took half a quarter of an hour , so what does it mean in total?
Wufang Jie Di said: "It was Sun Wukong who attacked first. He and Red Boy fought for a long time, but there was no clear winner. The Prison God attacked after Red Boy used the Samadhi True Fire."
"But, as soon as he made his move, he suppressed the fire with a rainstorm and destroyed the flaming chariots with thunder. In just two or three moves, he knocked Red Boy to the ground. Before my disciples could react, it was over."
Guanyin: “!!!” It wasn’t two people working together, but Li Anran who captured Red Boy alone?
It didn't take half a quarter of an hour, but only three or two moves?
Guanyin remained calm and composed on the surface, but she was shocked in her heart.
She had met Li Anran once when she was in Hulu Mountain.
At that time, Li Anran was only at the celestial immortal realm. With the help of Patriarch Hongyun, he was able to break through to the mysterious immortal realm!
The only deep impression she had of Li Anran was that Li Anran refused the offer from Patriarch Hongyun to accept him as his disciple!
Unexpectedly, less than three hundred years had passed, and Li Anran not only broke Dong Tianjun's Earth Fierce Array and Red Boy's Samadhi True Fire, but also defeated and captured Red Boy easily!
The speed of improving strength is really too fast!
Even if he became a disciple of the Red Cloud Patriarch, it might not be possible...
wrong!
It should be said that it is, but it can’t be done!
Could it be that this prison god is also the one who should be calamity?
Or is it an extremely important part of it?
Guanyin seemed to be thinking about something.
In the midst of a catastrophe, cause and effect are entangled, the mysteries of nature are chaotic, and the effect of deducing numbers will become extremely poor.
Although the gods and Buddhas of the three realms have joined forces, they can only analyze and respond to this catastrophe based on the experience accumulated from previous catastrophes.
Generally speaking, there are people who suffer in every catastrophe.
This person who is destined to suffer the calamity bears a great cause and effect, as well as a great fortune!
The great cause and effect will bring all kinds of troubles to him, as if everything in the world is revolving around him, and everyone's eyes will unconsciously focus on him.
Great fortune will allow those who are destined to be calamity to turn misfortune into fortune, make it easier for them to have sudden enlightenment, improve their cultivation faster, and make breakthroughs easier!
Because of the chaos of nature, both of them are invisible and intangible, and can only be inferred through phenomena!
At present, the gods and Buddhas of the Three Realms have discovered that the most likely people to be afflicted are Sun Wukong and Yang Jian!
The former took more than three hundred years to advance rapidly from a clever monkey in the Flower-Fruit Mountain to the Golden Immortal realm, and after causing havoc in the Heavenly Palace twice, he briefly reached the Daluo Golden Immortal.
The latter's cultivation basically stagnated after the catastrophe of the Conferred Gods, but in just a few hundred years, he broke through from the Taiyi Golden Immortal to the Daluo Golden Immortal. No one knows exactly how far he has reached, it is unfathomable.
Now, maybe we should add another one——
Li Anran!
Compared with Sun Wukong and Yang Jian, Li Anran seems to be a little inferior.
But you have to know that Sun Wukong himself is the five-colored stone left over from Nuwa who repaired the sky, and he was also taught magic by Patriarch Bodhi.
Yang Jian is the nephew of the Jade Emperor, a half-human and half-god, and a third-generation direct disciple of the Chan sect.
But Li Anran is just an ordinary mortal cultivator!
From this point of view, Li Anran is even more terrifying than Sun Wukong and Yang Jian, and more like a person who is destined to be calamity!
In addition to these three people who are most likely to be afflicted, the gods and Buddhas of the Three Realms also classified some people of lower rank.
Among them are Nezha, as well as monsters such as the Black Bear Demon, Red Boy, and the Golden-winged Roc!
Nezha was not originally included.
But in the last hundred years, his cultivation suddenly began to skyrocket, breaking through from the Golden Immortal to the Taiyi Golden Immortal, and there is no sign of slowing down, as if he is a man who is destined to calamity again.
As for the Black Bear Demon, Red Boy, Golden-winged Roc, etc., their cultivation level improved by leaps and bounds after the catastrophe began, and they skyrocketed to the level of Golden Immortal or even Taiyi Golden Immortal!
After discussing, the gods and Buddhas decided:
Anyone who might be destined to be calamity, whether he is a mortal or a monster, must be accepted as a disciple.
Only in this way can we reduce all unexpected factors to a minimum and avoid situations where disasters get out of control!
This is also the reason why Guanyin Tathagata forcibly converted the Black Bear Demon, Red Boy, and the Golden-winged Peng Eagle into his disciples.
"This matter must be reported to the Buddha as soon as possible."
Guanyin thought secretly in her heart, and instructed the Five Directions Jie Di: "I already know about this matter. You can go back. Remember, next time something like this happens, come to the South Sea and report to me immediately."
After saying that, he flew to Lingshan on a cloud.
On the other side, Li Anran took Red Boy back to heaven.
Before arriving at the Tianlao Palace, I saw a group of immortal officials of the Tianlao Palace standing on the clouds and looking around anxiously.
As soon as they saw him appear, the immortal officials were delighted and hurried to greet him, saying, "Sir, you are finally back!"
Li Anran asked: "What happened?"
The leading immortal official handed over an invitation, looking proud: "Sir, the Great Emperor Qinghua of the East (Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun) sent the Fairy Jinxia to invite you to the Jinguan Cave of Qianyuan Mountain to attend the Immortal Tea Conference."
