Chapter 180: Too Much Bullying
"Li Anran, this is not allowed, and that is not allowed. What do you want?" Bixiao could no longer suppress the anger in his heart. He glared and shouted loudly.
Qiong Xiao did not stop Bi Xiao this time, and glared at Li Anran in the same way.
"Daoist Bixiao."
Before Li Anran opened his mouth, Taiyi Tianzun said in a cold voice: "My disciple's words are very clear. It's not that he is unwilling to teach, but he is worried that the Immortal Execution Formation is too lethal and unauthorized use will harm the harmony of heaven, so he vowed not to teach it to others. Can your intimidation change the result?"
Bi Xiao was so angry that he laughed: "How ridiculous! The Immortal Execution Formation is the great formation of our Jie Sect. If we use it, it is considered as good use, but if he uses it, it is not good use? Why? Is it that only Li Anran can control the Immortal Execution Formation, but others cannot control it?"
"Bixiao! Stop being so presumptuous!"
Wu Dang Shengmu waited until Bi Xiao finished speaking before she scolded him and said to Tai Yi Tian Zun: "Brother Tai Yi, Bi Xiao is outspoken, please don't blame him! Junior Brother Li Anran certainly didn't mean that! Right?"
His eyes fell on Li Anran, obviously wanting an explanation.
Taiyi Tianzun said: "Li Anran, just tell me what you think, don't worry about anything. If you dare to lie to me, I will teach you a lesson!"
Taiyi Tianzun's tone was very stern, but the meaning behind his words was very clear -
As long as you find a reasonable reason, no matter what it is, I will protect you!
When Holy Mother Wu Dang understood the meaning, her face darkened and a hint of anger flashed in her eyes.
Bixiao and Qiongxiao were not as cunning as her, and both could not help but glare at Taiyi Tianzun.
Taiyi Tianzun pretended not to see it and waited quietly for Li Anran to make an excuse.
If it were in the past, in order to win over the Jiejiao, he might have asked Li Anran to hand over the Zhuxian Formation.
But now, it has been confirmed that Jiejiao is unwilling to reconcile with Chenjiao and intends to return to Xuanmen, so he naturally will not do such a thing to aid the enemy!
As long as both sides maintain superficial harmony and don't directly tear each other apart...
No, it should be said that it’s okay as long as we don’t completely fall out!
The previous incident at the Xianming Conference and today's incident with Luo Xuan have already torn apart the superficial harmony between the two sects of Chan and Jie, but they just haven't made it clear completely!
"Master, three uncles."
Li Anran bowed respectfully and said, "I am stupid by nature. I know I don't have the ability to tell right from wrong in people's hearts. When I encounter problems, I have to resort to stupid methods."
"I don't know how to be a good prison god, so I strictly require everyone in the prison to strictly follow the rules of heaven and not to violate them in any way."
"I feel the same way about the Immortal Execution Formation. As the saying goes, when a sharp blade is in your body, the desire to kill arises. I don't think I can master the Immortal Execution Formation, nor do I believe that others can master it, so I try not to use the Immortal Execution Formation as much as possible, and vow not to pass it on to anyone. I beg Master and Uncle to forgive me."
"good."
Taiyi Tianzun was very satisfied with the reason given by Li Anran. He stroked his beard with a gratified expression on his face, "It is rare and precious that you have such a compassionate heart and self-denial. Your uncle Wudang has always been wise and tolerant. How could he blame you for this matter?"
"Thank you, Master. Thank you, Uncle Master."
Li Anran bowed to the Holy Mother Wu Dang without saying a word, and silently gave a thumbs up to Taiyi Tianzun in his heart.
He not only expressed his own attitude, but also expressed the opinion of the Holy Mother Wu Dang. He made the final decision without giving others any chance to question or refute.
The Holy Mother Wu Dang did not say anything, but her eyes changed.
Qiong Xiao and Bi Xiao had already secretly performed some magic incantations and took the Hunyuan Golden Bowl and the Golden Dragon Shears back in their hands.
Nezha and Yang Jian also noticed that the atmosphere was not right, and they each tightly grasped their weapons and magic weapons, ready to take action.
Li Anran kept bowing, with the diamond file already in his right hand.
The most important thing in a fight is to strike first. At such a close distance, he was sure that he could knock Bixiao to the ground before she could use the Golden Dragon Shears.
Only Taiyi Tianzun still looked calm and composed. It was not known whether he was sure that Jiejiao would not turn against him, or he was confident that he could deal with Wudang Shengmu and Qiongxiao Bixiao.
At this moment, time becomes very slow, and every second seems very long.
There was dead silence all around.
The air was filled with an atmosphere of restlessness that became increasingly intense.
Everyone, including the gods outside the West Heaven Gate, Guanyin, the Jade Emperor, and even every powerful monk who was paying attention to the movements here, held their breath and stared at the Holy Mother Wu Dang.
"No! We can't let them go on!"
Inside the Wuzhuang Temple, Zhen Yuanzi frowned slightly, and had already begun to think about going to Cuiyun Mountain to mediate between the two sides.
Guanyin and Taishang Laojun are no exception.
Regardless of whether they are Buddhists, Taoists, or earthly immortals, they all have the same stance when it comes to dealing with catastrophes.
Now, the powerful beings from the three realms are joining forces to deal with the catastrophe, and the work is in full swing, with significant results.
They all didn't want to see things get out of control, and were worried that if the two sects of Chan and Jie took action, it would trigger a chain reaction, causing a direct catastrophe.
"Get up!"
It was at this time that Holy Mother Wu Dang finally spoke.
Her voice was very cold, but it sounded like heavenly music to everyone's ears!
The tense atmosphere also eased.
Since Holy Mother Wu Dang asked Li Anran to get up, it meant that she accepted what Taiyi Tianzun said, and the crisis was temporarily resolved.
"Senior Sister Wudang!" Bixiao and Qiongxiao were unwilling to accept this.
Although Jiejiao was defeated during the Conferred God Disaster, its disciples believed that it was because Yuanshi Tianzun and Laozi colluded with two outsiders, Jieyin and Zhunti, and they were not convinced.
This is also the important reason why the disciples of Jiejiao still stick together for warmth after ascending to heaven and do not take Chanjiao and the Jade Emperor seriously.
Qiong Xiao and Bi Xiao had witnessed with their own eyes how Yun Xiao used the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation to annihilate the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect. Although they now know that Taiyi Tianzun is no longer the same person he used to be, the arrogance in their hearts is not so easy to change.
They were unwilling to give up the attempt to get back the Zhu Xian Formation, and they could not swallow this humiliation.
The Holy Mother Wu Dang raised her hand to stop them from talking, and said to Li Anran: "If you dare to pass on the Immortal Execution Formation to anyone else, I will peel off your skin and bones, banish your soul to the underworld, and teach you to wish you were dead but unable to live!"
Li Anran said: "Disciple dare not."
The Holy Mother Wu Dang snorted coldly and waved her right hand. A palm-sized ball of red-gold flame flew out from Luo Xuan's body and fell into her sleeve.
Li Anran saw this and felt a little regretful.
The Zhuxian Formation is the number one killing formation in the prehistoric world, but it needs to be in the hands of the Patriarch Tongtian, who requires the Four Zhuxian Swords.
His Zhu Xian Formation can only be regarded as a low-quality copycat version, with far less lethality.
But even so, Luo Xuan was beaten back to his original form, and died!
The only regret is that he was not put in the prison.
Luo Xuan is a direct descendant of the Three Pure Ones, and he must have listened to many teachings of the Master Tongtian. If one could read through his life story, one would surely gain a lot.
Mother Wu Dang was about to leave with Qiong Xiao and Bi Xiao.
Yang Jian suddenly stepped forward and stopped them. "Lord Ziyuan, Lady Bixiao, Lady Qiongxiao, the Bull Demon King has summoned all the demons to rebel in Cuiyun Mountain, violating the Heavenly Law. I am here to capture him at the order of the Jade Emperor. Please hand him over to me, Lady Qiongxiao, so that I can take him back to Heaven and deal with him according to the Heavenly Law."
Yang Jian did not call them uncles or uncles, but directly addressed the three people, namely, Wu Dang Sheng Mu, by their identities, which showed his attitude of handling matters impartially.
There is nothing wrong with what he said; it is reasonable and justified.
However, when it came to the ears of Wu Dang Sheng Mu and the other two, it was not the case.
In an instant, the atmosphere, which had relaxed a little, suddenly became tense again, even more tense than before.
Not to mention that Wu Dang Sheng Mu and others' faces changed suddenly, even Taiyi Tianzun and the Jade Emperor frowned. They did not expect that Yang Jian would step forward to stop them at this time.
"Yang Jian, you are going too far!" Bi Xiao was furious.
The Hunyuan Golden Bowl and the Golden Dragon Shears were both in Qiong Xiao's hands. She simply pulled out the golden hairpin on her head, turned it into a sword, and was about to stab Yang Jian through the heart.
Qiong Xiao did not take action, but looked at the Holy Mother Wu Dang and shouted, "Senior Sister Wu Dang!" Her tone was full of anger and eagerness, and her desire to fight was self-evident.
"Yang Jian!" Holy Mother Wu Dang was also really angry. Her face was gloomy and an invisible pressure raged out.
Boom boom boom——
In an instant.
The sky and the earth changed color, the sun and the moon lost their light, countless heavenly fires and thunders surged, strong winds howled, sand and rocks flew, it was like the end of the world had come.
Yang Jian did not waver at all, and said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "As the God of Justice, Yang Jian should uphold the majesty and justice of the Heavenly Court. I have never had the intention to deceive others, nor would I dare to have any intention to deceive others."
"Good! Good! Good!"
The Holy Mother Wu Dang was furious and shouted in a stern voice: "What an upright God of Justice! What a God of Prisons who never oversteps the line! Taiyi Tianzun, your Chan Sect has really produced two outstanding disciples!"
Taiyi Tianzun looked helpless.
He wanted to drive Yang Jian away, but he couldn't find any justifiable reason.
More importantly, he knew Yang Jian's character very well.
When Yang Jian is determined about something, even if he tries to stop him as the head of Xuanmen or an elder uncle, he cannot shake Yang Jian at all!
Li Anran and Nezha also knew this. Without saying much, they stood directly beside Yang Jian.
Show your attitude through actions.
"This Yang Jian!"
Outside the West Heaven Gate, the Jade Emperor watched this scene. While he had a headache, he also admired and valued Yang Jian even more.
The Heavenly Laws and Heavenly Regulations are the cornerstone of Heaven's rule over the three realms, and are also the source of his majesty as the Jade Emperor. Yang Jian's protection of the Heavenly Laws and Heavenly Regulations is exactly what he wants!
However, the timing was not very good and not tactful enough!
The Jade Emperor glanced at Taibai Jinxing standing aside.
Taibai Jinxing immediately understood what he meant, and walked out of the class quickly, saying, "Your Majesty, although the Bull Demon King gathered a group of demons to rebel in Cuiyun Mountain, he also loves his son dearly, and his feelings are pitiful. God is merciful, why don't you show mercy and spare him this time, summon him to heaven, and give him a chance to reform."
"Good." The Jade Emperor nodded, and immediately ordered Taibai Jinxing to come down to earth to convey his order to appease the Bull Demon King.
At the same time, there was another situation in Cuiyun Mountain.
A auspicious cloud floated in from afar, breaking the confrontation between the two sides.
When everyone looked up, they saw a purple cloud coming from the east and infinite shining Buddha light.
Three figures appeared in Jiuxiao Huahanli.
The one on the left wears a five-knot crown, dressed in celestial robes and ribbons, and holds lotus in both hands in front of his chest in the preaching mudra. He has a peaceful expression and a solemn posture.
The one on the right wears a hat with a gold leaf button and a colorful dress. He has a face like a full moon, a straight nose, and slightly upturned corners of his mouth. He looks elegant and dignified.
The one in the middle has kind eyes, ears hanging down to his shoulders, a thin face full of wrinkles, and is wearing a Buddhist robe. His expression is comfortable, peaceful, clear and serene.
They are none other than Manjushri Bodhisattva, Samantabhadra Bodhisattva and the ancient Buddha Dipamkara!
"Disciple Li Jing, I pay my respects to the Master."
There was such a big commotion on Cuiyun Mountain that Li Jing and his group of heavenly soldiers and generals had already noticed it.
But Li Jing didn't dare to get close at all. He just let the heavenly soldiers and generals set up a net from a distance and waited for the matter to be over.
It was not until this time, when Li Jing saw the ancient Buddha Dipankara appear, that he had the confidence to show up and hurriedly flew over to meet him.
After some greetings.
Li Jing asked respectfully, "I wonder why Master and the two Bodhisattvas are here?"
Puxian pointed at the old yellow-tusked elephant below and said, "That evil beast was originally my mount. It took advantage of the time when I went to the Great Leiyin Temple to attend the Ullambana Festival to escape to the mortal world and cause trouble to the people."
Wenshu then said, "This Sai Tai Sui is my mount, the Golden Haired Lion. It has secretly escaped to the mortal world. I am here to capture it."
The Golden-haired Tiger is actually Guanyin's mount, but because Guanyin did not tell this outside the West Heaven Gate, Tathagata asked Manjusri to come and claim the Golden-haired Tiger.
And they didn't come here just to take the mounts back.
The more important purpose was that Tathagata saw that the atmosphere in Cuiyun Mountain was becoming increasingly tense and wanted them to come and break the deadlock.
Manjushri and Samantabhadra stated their purpose of coming, and they each chanted mantras, and rays of Buddha's light sprinkled down.
The old yellow-fanged elephant and Sai Taisui soon returned to their original forms.
The former is a white elephant more than three meters long, and the latter is a golden-haired roar that looks like both a dog and a lion.
Because they had suffered severe damage in the Zhu Xian Formation, after they recovered their original form, they were still lying half-dead on the ground.
However, they don't care.
During the catastrophe of the Conferred Gods, especially in the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation, there were many disciples of the Jiejiao who were forcibly converted to the West by Jie Yin and Zhunti. They were far more than the Lingya Immortal, Qiu Shou Immortal, and Jin Guang Immortal who were brought back by Manjusri, Samantabhadra, and Guanyin.
On the contrary, Lingyaxian and Qiushouxian are considered to be the more stubborn disciples of Jiejiao who are unwilling to surrender.
So, Manjushri, Samantabhadra and Guanyin sealed their spiritual powers, preventing them from transforming into human forms, and made them serve as their mounts to humiliate them.
In order to further eliminate their wildness and ferocity, they were all fanned to death.
In the eyes of Manjushri and Samantabhadra, they were just tools and ants, so naturally they didn't care how badly injured they were.
The ancient Buddha Dipankara waved his hand, and a ray of Buddha's light fell on the golden-winged Roc.
Compared to mounts like the Yellow-fanged Old Elephant and Sai Taisui, the Winged Fairy is Randeng's second disciple, the son of the Phoenix and the brother of the Peacock. Randeng's attitude towards him is much better.
While transforming the golden-winged Roc into its original form, he also used his magic power to help him dissolve the murderous and destructive aura in his body, allowing the golden-winged Roc to barely struggle to fly.
