Chapter 190 Yang Jian Disappears
“Can’t sacrifice and refine it?” Mother Wu Dang looked surprised. She took the Chaos Bell from Mother Jin Ling and tried to refine it herself.
It turned out that everything was just as the Golden Spirit Mother said. No matter how she infused her magic power and spiritual consciousness into the Chaos Bell, she could not leave the slightest trace on it.
She could clearly sense a hint of resistance coming from the Chaos Bell.
“Junior brother and sister, you can try it too.” Mother Wu Dang handed the Chaos Bell to Yun Xiao and Zhao Gongming.
Although the magic weapons in the world can be used even without sacrifice as long as the spells to activate them are mastered.
However, using it in this way not only fails to unleash the full power of the magic weapon, but is also extremely risky!
Once the spell is leaked, the enemy can directly take away your magic weapon and use it against you.
This kind of thing happened a lot during the Conferred God Tribulation!
The most typical example is that the two brothers Yin Jiao and Yin Hong took the Fantian Seal and Yin-Yang Mirror bestowed by Guangchengzi and Chijingzi, turned against them in the battle, and defeated them, forcing them to flee in panic and lose all face.
The Holy Mother Wu Dang obtained the Chaos Bell in order to suppress the luck of the Jiejiao Sect, so naturally she couldn't let this happen.
Yunxiao and Zhao Gongming took the Chaos Bell as instructed and tried to perform a sacrifice and refine it. However, the result was the same as that of the Holy Mother Wu Dang and the Holy Mother Jin Ling. It was rejected and resisted by the Donghuang Bell and could not be completed at all.
"Sister Wu Dang, what's going on?"
The Golden Spirit Holy Mother was a little anxious and asked, "After Donghuang Taiyi died, the Chaos Bell should have been ownerless. Why can't we offer sacrifices to it?"
If they had used other magic weapons, they would have used their great magic power to suppress the ritual, but the Chaos Bell was one of the three great innate treasures, and they could not suppress it at all.
Wu Dang Shengmu said: "Perhaps Donghuang Taiyi left some tricks on this Chaos Bell before he died. The previous Emperor Liujiang and the current inability to sacrifice and refine it may be related to it."
In her opinion, the four brothers and sisters are already among the strongest in the Three Realms, and their talents are unparalleled in the world!
Even the Chaos Bell definitely doesn't look down on them. Such resistance and exclusion must be due to someone secretly doing something!
Since the death of Donghuang Taiyi, the Chaos Bell has disappeared into the chaos, so this person can only be Donghuang Taiyi!
"Senior sister, what you said makes sense." Yunxiao, Zhao Gongming, and the Golden Spirit Holy Mother nodded in agreement.
The Holy Mother Wu Dang continued to analyze, "As soon as the Chaos Bell appeared, it caused the stars to move and the Emperor Liujiang to descend. The backup plan left by Donghuang Taiyi must be related to the Zhoutian Stars."
"Junior Sister Jin Ling, you should go to Dongji Miaoyan Palace now and get Junior Brother Jiuling Yuansheng back from Taiyi Tianzun. I remember that Junior Brother Jiuling Yuansheng is the son of Demon Saint Bai Ze. He once presented the Zhoutian Xingdou Great Array to Master. He might be able to figure out the reason behind this."
The fact that Jiuling Yuansheng had become Taiyi Tianzun's mount was known to all three realms.
The Holy Mother Wu Dang and her companions were naturally no exception.
It can even be said that Taiyi Tianzun forcibly took Jiuling Yuansheng as his mount in order to revive the reputation of Chenjiao by stepping on the face of Jiejiao!
But, they had no choice!
After the catastrophe of the Conferred Gods, the elite disciples of the Jie Religion were either included in the Conferred Gods List against their will or were forcibly converted by the Western Religions. Only the Holy Mother Wu Dang was left to inherit the Taoist tradition and preserve a chance of survival for the Jie Religion.
Wu Dang Sheng did not dare to act rashly, nor was he able to save Jiu Ling Yuan Sheng! He could only swallow his anger and watch him being humiliated by Tai Yi Tian Zun as a mount, like a tamed animal, to wear down his wild and fierce nature.
But the situation is completely different now!
The Investiture of the Gods was shattered, and the disciples of Jiejiao regained their freedom.
Even though most of them had just reincarnated and started cultivating again not long ago and their cultivation had not yet recovered, the presence of powerful figures such as Yunxiao, Zhao Gongming, and the Golden Spirit Holy Mother was enough to change the situation in the Three Realms and they were qualified to ask Lingshan and the Chan Sect for those Jiejiao disciples who still refused to convert and submit.
Lingshan agreed to the request of the Holy Mother Wu Dang, so it deliberately let Lingya Fairy, Qiushou Fairy, Jinguang Fairy and others down the mountain to give them a chance to make another choice.
Either return to Jiejiao to regain freedom, or stay in Buddhism to achieve enlightenment.
At least I don't have to serve as a mount and suffer humiliation and torture anymore.
Holy Mother Wu Dang had long wanted to rescue Holy Mother Jiu Ling Yuan Sheng, and now was the time for Holy Mother Jin Ling to carry out this matter.
The Holy Mother of the Golden Spirit hesitated and said, "What if the Great Master Taiyi refuses?"
The Holy Mother Wu Dang said: "You just need to tell him that Lingshan has promised to return Lingya Fairy, Qiushou Fairy, and Jinguang Fairy to freedom."
"I understand." The Golden Spirit Mother nodded, turned around and flew towards the Dongji Miaoyan Palace.
No matter how much Taiyi Tianzun disagrees with Jiejiao, he would not be willing for Jiejiao to get together with Buddhism. With Buddhism in front, he would definitely agree to this matter.
The Holy Mother Wu Dang turned her head and looked at Yun Xiao and Zhao Gongming, and said, "Junior Brother Zhao Gongming, Junior Sister Yun Xiao. During the Conferred Gods Catastrophe, Lu Ya borrowed Jiang Ziya's hand and used the vicious spell of the Seven Arrows to kill Junior Brother Zhao Gongming. Now it is time to seek justice from him."
"good."
Although Holy Mother Wu Dang did not say it explicitly, Zhao Gongming and Yun Xiao instantly understood her thoughts and nodded in agreement.
During the Conferred Gods Tribulation, Lu Ya was one of the most mysterious monks. He called himself "Kunlun Sanren" and said, "First there was Hongjun, then there was heaven, and Lu Ya Daojun was even before that."
However, after the catastrophe of Conferred Gods, the secrets of heaven were revealed and his origins were exposed.
At the beginning, Di Jun and Xihe Yingtianming became the first couple in the world. Through the union of yin and yang, they gave birth to ten golden crow princes under the Fusang sacred tree in Yang Valley of the Sun Star.
Lu Ya was the Sixth Prince among them.
What he said, "First there was Hongjun, then there was heaven, and Lu Ya Daojun was even before that," contains some exaggeration and bragging, but it is not entirely false.
The degree of authenticity is similar to what Yu Adou said about Zhao Yun and I going in and out of Changbanpo seven times.
When he was born, Daoist Patriarch Hongjun had not yet started preaching in Zixiao Palace and dominating the wild world, and there was no trace of him at all in the Three Pure Ones Heavenly Palace.
However, when Hongjun Daozu began to preach, he was still playing with fire in Yanggu and had not grown up.
After the ten Lu Ya brothers came of age, Di Jun and Xi He, in order to please them, handed over the task of patrolling the sky with the sun, which was previously in charge of Xihe, to them in turn.
At the beginning, everything went very smoothly. The ten Lu Ya brothers took turns to complete the task of carrying the sun to patrol the sky and gained a lot of merit.
Until one day, the ten brothers appeared in the sky together because of playfulness, creating a scene of ten suns in the sky.
The temperature on the vast land rose suddenly, rivers dried up, grass and trees spontaneously combusted, all lives were destroyed, and countless people were killed and injured.
When Kuafu, the chief wizard of the wizard tribe, learned about this, he became furious and chased the ten golden crows with his staff, hoping to shoot them down. However, he failed to catch up and died of exhaustion on the road. His wooden staff turned into a dense forest.
Later, Houyi, Kuafu's friend and another great wizard of the wizard clan, bent his bow and shot dead nine Golden Crows in revenge for Kuafu. However, he let go of the only remaining Golden Crow, the Sixth Prince Lu Ya, because the sky could not be without sun.
This also became the fuse of the Second Lich War!
After the Lich Catastrophe, Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi died in battle. Xihe used Di Jun's companion spirit treasure, the River Map and Luo Shu, as a gift to become a disciple, and sent Lu Ya to the Wa Palace of her best friend Nuwa, seeking Nuwa's protection for Lu Ya.
It was not until the catastrophe of the Conferred Gods came that Lu Ya left the Queen Wa Palace and joined the Xiqi camp to attack King Zhou with the Chan sect.
If Donghuang Taiyi really left some backup plan on the Chaos Bell before his death, Lu Ya would be the most likely person to know it!
And it just so happened that during the Conferred God Tribulation, Lu Ya used Jiang Ziya to curse Zhao Gongming to death with the Seven Arrows Book. They could use this excuse to settle accounts with Lu Ya and force him to tell the truth!
Wu Dang Holy Mother warned, "Junior sister Yunxiao, this Lu Ya had already killed Shanshi after the Conferred Gods Catastrophe. His Shanshi is now hiding on Futu Mountain in Xiniu Hezhou under the name of Zen Master Wuchao. Before you go, you must first get the Hunyuan Golden Bowl and the Golden Dragon Shears from the two sisters Bixiao and Qiongxiao. Don't be careless."
Yun Xiao was shocked to hear that Lu Ya had killed a corpse, and said seriously, "Don't worry, Senior Sister, my brother and I will be careful."
Yunxiao had already attained the Golden Immortal before the catastrophe of Conferred Gods, and was on the verge of being beheaded. However, he died in the catastrophe, and only a wisp of his soul was included in the Conferred Gods List. Over the years, his cultivation has not improved at all.
She knew best the difficulty of beheading a corpse. Lu Ya was able to behead a corpse, so his strength was probably much stronger than during the catastrophe of the Conferred Gods.
"I just want to see what he's capable of!"
Zhao Gongming snorted coldly. He died unclearly back then, and now he still gnashed his teeth in hatred when he thought about it.
As he spoke, he flipped his right hand, and a round copper coin with a square hole appeared in his palm, with wings on both sides. It was the Luobao Gold Coin!
During the catastrophe of Conferred Gods, Zhao Gongming's twenty-four Dinghai magic beads were dropped by Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao using the Luobao Gold Coins and were obtained by Ran Deng.
But after the catastrophe of Conferred Gods, he became the God of Wealth, Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao became his subordinates, and the money fell into his hands instead.
It can be said that every sip and every bite is a destiny.
The matter of the Chaos Bell was related to the fortune of the Jiejiao, so Yunxiao and Zhao Gongming did not delay and immediately went to Qiongxiao and Bixiao to get the Hunyuan Golden Bowl and the Golden Dragon Shears, and flew to Futu Mountain in Xiniuhezhou.
Qiongxiao and Bixiao also wanted to follow, but were rejected by Yunxiao and Zhao Gongming.
During the catastrophe of Conferred Gods, Lu Ya's most powerful weapon was the Flying Knife that Beheaded Immortals, and his most bizarre magical power was the Book of Seven Arrows, but his escape technique should not be underestimated either.
Yunxiao and Zhao Gongming were not sure they could protect Qiongxiao and Bixiao from Lu Ya.
On the other side, in heaven, at the entrance to the prison.
Li Anran sent away the patrolling spiritual officer who came to investigate with a few words. When he walked outside the Tianlao Palace, he saw many heavenly soldiers and generals secretly collecting the Emperor's Jiang.
The salaries in Heaven are paid in the form of Emperor's Elixir and the elixir made from it.
These Emperor's Liquids are like money falling from the sky. It would be strange if they didn't try their best to collect them.
Li Anran also stretched out his hand to take some of the Emperor's Fluid that had not yet dissipated around him, and found that the quality of this Emperor's Fluid was several times better than the one that the Jade Emperor gave to the heavenly soldiers and generals.
Obviously, the Jade Emperor diluted the Emperor's Liquid when he distributed it.
"Is the strange movement of the stars this time because I upgraded the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Great Array to the maximum level and it caused a reaction?"
Li Anran was not sure either.
However, he is not planning to use the Zhoutian Xingdou Array in the short term.
Emperor Liujiang is the largest and most stable source of financial income for the Heavenly Court. If there is a problem with it, the Heavenly Court will be shaken.
If it happens twice more, the Jade Emperor will definitely explode, and it is hard to say what will happen then.
In the following days, Li Anran stayed obediently in the Heavenly Prison, learning the other knowledge that Bai Ze taught to Jiuling Yuansheng, and the influence of Emperor Liujiang was also constantly fermenting.
The patrolling spiritual officer searched the heavenly court for three days but failed to find any clues. Naturally, Li Jing, the temporary god of justice, had to take full responsibility and bear the blame.
The Jade Emperor scolded Li Jing severely at the morning court session and ordered him to give a final result within half a month.
But, obviously, Li Jing doesn't have this ability.
Half a month passed, and still nothing was found.
The matter of Emperor Liujiang was of great importance, and the Jade Emperor did not care whether Yang Jian would bother him with the Heavenly Laws again. He immediately dismissed Li Jing from his position as the temporary God of Justice and sent Taibai Jinxing to Guanjiangkou to summon Yang Jian back to heaven.
He promised that as long as Yang Jian could find out the reason for the unusual movement of the stars, he would reinstate Yang Jian and let him serve as the God of Justice in Heaven again.
but……
"Yang Jian is missing?" The Jade Emperor looked at Taibai Jinxing who had returned alone, frowned, and asked, "Did you go to Huashan?"
“Yes.”
Taibai Jinxing said hurriedly: "The Third Holy Mother said that when Erlang Zhenjun was first demoted to Guanjiangkou, he basically went to Huashan once every three days. But since he left Huashan half a month ago, he has never been there again."
The Jade Emperor asked, "What about the Meishan brothers? They don't know where Yang Jian has gone either."
Taibai Jinxing: "They only know that Erlang Zhenjun went to Huashan half a month ago, and they don't know what happened after that. Erlang Zhenjun's disappearance should have occurred on his way back to Guanjiangkou from Huashan."
The Jade Emperor asked, "Will he be with Nezha?"
Taibai Jinxing was not sure: "This... I don't know."
"Send an order to summon Thousand-Li Eyes and Superb Ears into the palace." The Jade Emperor immediately summoned Thousand-Li Eyes and Superb Ears and asked them to search for the whereabouts of Nezha and Yang Jian.
Although Nezha refused to go to heaven to apologize to Li Jing, he did not deliberately hide his tracks.
Soon, Qianliyan and Shunfenger found Nezha's trace in a restaurant in Southern Continent.
He was drinking with a few mortals and was completely drunk.
But, Yang Jian was not by his side.
Thousand-Li Eyes and Wind-Ears continued to search for Yang Jian's whereabouts, but after looking throughout the three realms, they could not find any trace of Yang Jian.
At the same time, the Third Holy Mother also hurried to the Heavenly Prison and told Li Anran about Yang Jian's disappearance.
Li Anran asked: "When did this happen?"
The Third Holy Mother said, "Half a month ago."
Li Anran asked again: "Where is Roaring Sky Dog? Doesn't he know how to track people thousands of miles away? Let him find the whereabouts of my second brother."
"The Roaring Sky Dog is also missing."
The Third Holy Mother couldn't stop her tears from flowing down, and said worriedly: "Brother Li, Second Brother has offended many gods and monsters in these years as the God of Justice. Could something have happened to him?"
"Won't."
When Li Anran heard that Roaring Sky Dog was also missing, he had some guesses in his mind and comforted her, "Third sister, don't worry. Second brother has great magical powers, so he will be fine. Let's go to Guanjiangkou first to see if there are any clues."
