Chapter 170: The Great Grandson
As soon as Guanyin finished speaking, all the gods looked at Li Anran.
But not all the looks in his eyes were kind.
Guanyin said that this matter started because of Li An and should end because of Li An!
In other words,
If it weren’t for Li Anran, there would have been no Bull Demon King causing chaos!
For a moment, many gods looked at Li Anran with resentment in their eyes.
"Bodhisattva, this is wrong."
Yang Jian said, "Red Boy has occupied Zuantou Mountain and brought disaster to the area. He has ignored the laws of heaven and bullied the mountain gods and the land. This incident was clearly caused by him. How can it be said to be caused by the prison god?"
"I was wrong."
Guanyin clasped her hands together, apologized, and said, "However, I still recommend the Prison God to lead his troops to help the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King Li. The Prison God is a disciple of Taiyi Tianzun. He has great magical powers and great supernatural powers. He has come to the world many times to capture demons. With his help, Heavenly King Li will be able to subdue the demons and turn defeat into victory."
Yang Jian's eyes turned cold and he felt a little annoyed.
Guanyin seems to be tolerant and generous, but in fact she is scheming.
If you don’t understand the truth, you won’t understand!
If Guanyin argued with him, he could still help Li Anran explain.
But now, if he said anything more, it would make him seem aggressive.
As for why Guanyin insisted that Li Anran go, it was because she had no good intentions!
As the god of justice, Yang Jian has been in charge of the heavenly rules for many years. Naturally, he also sent people to secretly investigate the Bull Demon King, the leader of the Seven Great Sages.
As a result, it was discovered that the Bull Demon King first appeared in Lishan, and he had a deep connection with Lishan Laomu and Jiejiao.
However, Li Anran severely humiliated Luo Xuan and Jiejiao at the enlightenment tea party, and personally captured Red Boy, the son of Bull Demon King, and brought him back to heaven. Even earlier, he had a feud with the Golden-winged Roc and the Yellow-toothed Elephant.
By this calculation, Li Anran and half of the demon kings on Cuiyun Mountain have deep hatred!
If he led his troops down to the mortal world, those demon kings would probably immediately abandon Li Jing and the others and turn around to besiege him!
Could it be that the incident with the Bull Demon King was a trap set by Lingshan and Jiejiao for Li Anran and his brothers?
Yang Jian was very worried, but he also knew that Li Anran could not refuse this matter.
Whether you can win or not is one thing, whether you fight seriously or not is another thing, and whether you obey orders or not is another thing!
Just like Li Jing, who knew he was no match for the Bull Demon King but still led his troops forward.
If the Jade Emperor ordered Li Anran to go and subdue the demon, Li Anran would have no choice but to go.
Otherwise, with the accusation of disobeying the imperial order, Li Anran would have no choice but to become a demon on earth.
"His Majesty."
Yang Jian quickly made a decision, stepped forward and said, "The Bull Demon King Pingtian has always had some prestige among the monsters of Xiniu Hezhou. This time, he has gathered half of the monsters of Xiniu Hezhou under his command."
"Even if the Prison God had three heads and six arms, he would not be able to subdue them. I am not talented, but I have some magical powers. Please allow me to go with the Prison God to subdue the demons."
The gods looked at each other in surprise.
The Jade Emperor knew that Li Anran and Yang Jian were only pretending to be at odds with each other because they worked together to rescue Yao Ji who was imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison.
However, these gods were unaware of this and always thought that Li Anran had a very close relationship with Nezha, that he stood on the side of Li Jing, and that he had a bad relationship with Yang Jian.
Unexpectedly, this time, Yang Jian would take the initiative to volunteer to help Li Anran.
"Yes." The Jade Emperor nodded slightly, agreeing to this matter, and then looked at Li Anran and asked, "Prison God, what about you?"
"Subduing demons and monsters is the duty of gods like us. I am willing to go."
Li Anran also knew that he couldn't refuse, so he first sang a high-sounding sentence, and then changed the subject and said, "However, those demons are so powerful that even with the help of the God of Justice, it may be difficult to win. I have an idea, and I hope Your Majesty will agree."
The Jade Emperor said, "Tell me what you think."
Li Anran glanced at Guanyin and said, "Your Majesty, a few days ago, a demon disguised himself as the Monkey King Sun Wukong and injured his master. Then he broke into the Heavenly Palace with him and had a big fight above the Heavenly Prison Palace."
The Jade Emperor nodded slightly, indicating that he knew about this.
Guanyin's eyelids twitched, and she almost instantly guessed what Li Anran was planning.
really.
The next second, she heard Li Anran continue to say: "After I saw through the monster's disguise, I locked him up in the Heavenly Prison. Although he was so bold as to trespass into the Heavenly Palace, fortunately he did not cause too much harm. I beg Your Majesty to pardon this monster and give him a chance to redeem himself and let him go down to earth with me and the God of Justice to subdue the monster."
As he spoke, Li Anran deliberately glanced at Guanyin, his meaning was very clear.
I know you already know this, so what ?
Not only will I dig into your Buddhist sect, I will do it in front of you!
Dig openly!
"This damn evildoer!"
A ball of nameless fire suddenly rose in Guanyin's heart, and her eyes turned colder and colder as she looked at Li Anran, filled with murderous intent.
But soon, she restrained herself from doing all this, and her face still showed the same compassionate look as before.
The Jade Emperor didn't know this. When he heard that the monsters in the prison had some conflicts with Buddhism, he asked Guanyin, "Master Guanyin, what do you think?"
Without waiting for Guanyin to speak, Li Anran said with a smile: "Guanyin Bodhisattva has always been saving all living beings from suffering and distress. I don't think she would be on the same level as that monster, right?"
In the eyes of others, his smile was a gesture of goodwill to Guanyin, but in the eyes of Guanyin, it was a clear demonstration of provocation.
Guanyin's anger, which had just been suppressed, suddenly burst out again, but she had to pretend to be magnanimous and said, "It's all up to your majesty."
The Jade Emperor sensed something strange, but he didn't know what was going on. He said to Li Anran, "In that case, let's do as you say and let that demon fairy make amends for his crime."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Li Anran didn't say anything more. He and Yang Jian immediately took their leave and left, each preparing to go their own way.
Yang Jian went to the Temple of the God of Justice to summon the Meishan brothers and the Grass Head God.
Li Anran returned to the Heavenly Prison and took the monkey out.
"What? The Bull Demon King gathered seventeen great demons and hundreds of thousands of demon soldiers to start a rebellion in Cuiyun Mountain? He captured my master?"
The monkey jumped up with a start, his eyes wide open.
"Oh, you're alive already? I thought you were going to lie in state for a while longer!" Li Anran teased.
Although the monkey does not like the strict rules and regulations of Buddhism and wants to regain his freedom, he is also reluctant to give up his admiration for Tang Monk.
I am in a dilemma and extremely conflicted.
But as he waited and waited, Tang Seng still did not discover that the Monkey King was a fake, and his anticipation and anxiety turned into disappointment and disillusionment.
During this period, the monkey had given up on himself and lay in the prison every day without moving.
Unexpectedly, after hearing the news about Tang Seng, he immediately became excited.
The monkey felt very embarrassed, his ears turned red, and he said stubbornly: "I still owe that old monk a favor. After I repay it, I..."
"Stop!" Li Anran interrupted the monkey and stressed, "How can you, a fake, always think you are the real one? Remember, the one who was caught by the Bull Demon King in the mortal world is the Monkey King who escorted Tang Monk to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures. You are..."
"I am Zhe Xingsun!" Monkey interrupted Li Anran and said, "Is this okay?"
Li Anran: "...Okay! As long as it's not Sun Xingzhe!"
Li Anran initially felt that the name Xingsun, a name that even a fool could see the problem with, was a bit perfunctory and insulting.
But then I thought, wasn't I just deliberately trying to annoy them?
Li Anran added: "This time you will go down to the mortal world with me and my second brother to subdue demons. Once we catch the Bull Demon King and his men, you will have redeemed your sins and will be truly free. Don't do such a stupid thing as pretending to be Sun Wukong again!"
"Brother Li, I understand." The monkey nodded and said gratefully, "I don't need to thank you for your kindness. If you need my help in the future, just ask. I will never refuse!"
Li Anran waved his hands and didn't take it to heart.
The monkey thought he was helping him, but in fact he was more of an experiment on the monkey.
After his operation, the monkey's fake identity was endorsed by the Heavenly Court . Combined with the previous Lingshan and Xuanmen, it can be said that he has completely turned the real thing into a fake!
The gods and Buddhas of the three realms will no longer question his identity, and the Monkey King will replace him!
In this case, how should the cause and effect of the monkey be calculated?
Still on the monkey?
Or will it transfer to the Monkey King?
Li Anran was very curious and believed that understanding this would be of great benefit to his understanding of the law of cause and effect.
Although these insights cannot be seen or touched, they are the most precious things in this world!
After the two men came out of the Heavenly Prison, they soon reunited with the Meishan brothers and the Grass-headed God led by Yang Jian, and flew all the way to Xiniu Hezhou.
Yang Jian only told the Meishan brothers that he was going to descend to the mortal world to subdue the demon, but did not explain the specific situation.
When the Meishan brothers saw the two men, they all stepped forward to greet them: "Brother Li Anran, Sun Dasheng!"
The monkey quickly waved his hands to deny: "You have the wrong person! I am not that Sun Xingzhe, I am Zhe Xingsun!"
Meishan brothers: “???” Do you think we are fools?
The Meishan brothers were confused and didn't understand what the monkey was doing.
Yang Jian said, "You have indeed recognized the wrong person. He is not Sun Xingzhe, but the demon fairy who pretended to be Sun Xingzhe and broke into the Heavenly Palace some time ago. Zhe Xingsun should be the name he gave himself."
Meishan brothers: “…” Second Master, are you serious?
The Meishan brothers opened their eyes wide and looked at each other in surprise.
Even though these words came from Yang Jian's mouth, they still found it hard to believe it.
I looked at the monkey again and again along the way, but I couldn't find out what was fake about it.
The monkey felt a little uncomfortable being stared at, but he didn't show it.
When Yang Jian and the Meishan brothers surrounded the Flower-Fruit Mountain, they showed mercy and spared half of his monkeys. This favor can be said to be greater than the sky!
Not to mention just staring at him for a few more seconds, even if he were to chop him a few times, the monkey would endure it.
This is also the reason why in the original time and space, when Monkey saw Yang Jian and the Meishan brothers, he called them "brother" all the time.
Soon, the group arrived above the camp of the heavenly soldiers and generals.
It has to be said that Li Jing has some ability in leading troops in battle.
The camp was arranged in a neat and orderly manner.
It’s a pity that this is a mythological world, and the effect of deploying troops is almost useless!
Li Anran and Yang Jian did not rush into the camp, but instead observed Cuiyun Mountain in the distance.
Although they had seen it in the water mirror before, they could only see a small part, which was very different from seeing it with their own eyes.
I saw a demonic aura above Cuiyun Mountain that connected into one, stretching for thousands of miles, covering the sky and blocking out the sun, with a terrifying momentum .
There were flags waving on the mountain, and countless monsters were swarming everywhere on the mountain like ants. The sound of weapons was like thunder, making people's eardrums itchy.
At the top of the mountain, someone used his great magical power to cut out a huge stone platform, on which were placed stone tables and chairs, as well as all kinds of delicacies and fine wines.
The Bull Demon King, the Golden-winged Roc, the Yellow-fanged Old Elephant, the Hundred-eyed Demon Lord... and other demon kings sat there drinking wine and eating meat.
Below the stone platform, there stood stone pillars, each with a person tied to it, and there were little demons guarding on both sides.
Zhu Bajie, Sha Seng, the six Dings and six Jias, the five Jie Di, the King of Growth, the King of Wealth, the Jiaomu Jiao, the Kangjin Dragon, the Di Tu He, the Niu Jinniu...
At a glance, there were at least fifty or sixty people tied to the stone pillars.
These were actually all in good condition, they were just tied to pillars and looked dirty and a little disheveled. Even if they had injuries on their bodies, they were from previous fights.
The truly tragic thing was that right in front of the center of these stone pillars, there was a pillar that was much thicker than the other ones, and the Monkey King was tied up.
His position was closest to the stone platform and was the most conspicuous.
The Bull Demon King, Princess Iron Fan, the Immortal Ruyi, and even other demon kings who were itching to drink would walk over and whip him hard with their whips when they got excited.
This whip is made from a kind of poisonous grass that grows in the sea of blood in the underworld. It condenses the most polluted and turbid aura between heaven and earth. It can not only hurt people's bodies, but also damage their souls.
Even though the Monkey King had practiced the Eight-Nine Mysterious Arts and had an indestructible body, he still screamed in pain under the whip, his body covered in blood, and his appearance was miserable!
If it weren't for the oath sworn by Heaven, the Monkey King would have been unable to bear it and would have revealed that he was not Sun Wukong!
Snap! Snap! Snap! Snap!
While the Bull Demon King was whipping the Monkey King, he shouted towards Li Jing's camp, "Li Jing, I'll give you another half an hour! If you don't return my son, I'll charge up to the Lingxiao Palace and take it myself!"
The monkey's hair stood on end and he took a deep breath. He was relieved and secretly delighted: "Hehehehe, you got what you deserved for pretending to be me, Sun Wukong!"
But soon, he realized something was wrong.
"Where's the Master? Why isn't he here?"
The monkey looked around several times but couldn't find Tang Seng, and he couldn't help but worry.
The Monkey King was about to cry.
Why am I always the one who gets beaten?!
But he didn't know that although the Bull Demon King seemed reckless, he actually knew his limits.
Whipping him in public was a personal vendetta, and no one could say anything.
Whipping the gods in heaven in public would be tantamount to completely trampling on the reputation of heaven, which would only completely anger heaven, and the consequences would be countless times more serious than they are now!
But even so, Yang Jian couldn't bear it anymore.
"Change!" Yang Jian made a gesture.
A sparrow appeared out of nowhere and flew towards the stone platform.
"Huh? Why is there a sparrow?"
The evil spirit of Cuiyun Mountain was so strong that it had scared away all kinds of insects, fish, birds and beasts.
The sudden appearance of a sparrow immediately attracted the attention of all the monsters.
"Not good! Stop it!" The old yellow-fanged elephant's face changed, and he shouted loudly: "The Erlang Zhenjun Yang Jian in the heaven is the best at the art of transformation. This sparrow must have been transformed by him! Catch him quickly!"
A person's reputation is like the shadow of a tree!
As soon as the word Yang Jian came out, the demon kings on the stone platform sobered up and immediately rushed forward to catch the sparrow.
But this sparrow was only the size of a fist and extremely agile, able to wriggle in between tables, chairs and rocks.
The monsters tried to catch it but failed. Instead, they spilled the food and wine on the table all over the place.
"Watch me!" The old elephant with yellow teeth swung his trunk and chased after the sparrow.
The sparrow used the same trick again and crawled into the crack between the rocks.
whoosh!
The elephant's trunk unexpectedly became as thick as a hemp rope, and it slipped into the crack, tightly wrapping the sparrow.
"Hahahaha, watch me crush you to pieces!" The old elephant with yellow teeth laughed triumphantly, and with a swipe of his trunk, he crushed the sparrow into meat paste.
However, when he retracted his trunk, the meat paste turned into a ball of stone powder and fell down.
"Oh no! I've been fooled!" The old elephant with yellow teeth suddenly woke up, but it was too late.
Buzz!
A cold light flashed, and all the ropes on the stone pillars were cut off.
Immediately afterwards, a strong wind blew up and swept away all the gods who had just escaped.
Apart from……
The Monkey King: "??? And me! I'm still here!!!"
