Chapter 231 Killing
"Is this a human pill?! Why would the Great Immortal Zhenyuan refine such a pill that is harmful to the harmony of nature?"
"Perhaps we are wrong? I remember that Zhenyuan Daxian had a ginseng fruit tree, and the fruits it produced were as big as children. Could this be the fruit of the ginseng fruit tree?"
"Impossible! This elixir contains a lingering resentment. How could it be the fruit of a ginseng fruit tree? Unless this ginseng fruit tree was watered and grown with human blood and resentment!"
…
After a brief silence, the entire Taixuan Palace suddenly became boiling.
The immortals looked at Zhen Yuanzi with shocked and unbelievable eyes, whispering to each other and discussing.
The Jade Emperor was also stunned for a moment, and then he discovered that the Taoist patterns on the human pill were somewhat similar to those of the ginseng fruit!
The Jade Emperor asked in a deep voice, "Great Immortal Zhenyuan, although my Danyuan Conference does not restrict the types and grades of immortal pills, the human pill uses the soul as medicine, which is not tolerated by heaven and earth. What do you mean by taking it out?"
"Great Lord."
Zhen Yuanzi said: "This pill was not made by the old Taoist, but by a thief who coveted the old Taoist's ginseng fruit tree and tried to use the blood and soul of boys and girls and the incense of their blood relatives as the main ingredients to make a pill with similar effects to the ginseng fruit."
The Jade Emperor immediately understood why Zhen Yuanzi and Yang Jian got together.
And if nothing unexpected happens, the thief Zhen Yuanzi mentioned is a powerful person.
Yang Jian was worried that he would take it lightly, so he joined forces with Zhen Yuanzi, the victim, and took the opportunity of Heaven declaring war on the Demon Master's Mansion to expose the matter in public and force him to deal with it according to the rules of Heaven.
This Yang Jian!
The Jade Emperor was in a complicated mood.
He was both annoyed at Yang Jian's scheming and coercing him, and yet he was also satisfied with Yang Jian's desire to thoroughly implement the laws of heaven.
——If everyone in the three realms can abide by the laws of heaven, then he, the Jade Emperor, will be the true supreme being who rules over the three realms!
but……
How is this possible!
Gods are gods, mortals are mortals, ghosts and monsters are monsters and monsters. They are completely different. How can we treat them equally?
Too naive!
The Jade Emperor thought this in his heart and continued to ask, "Who is the thief?"
"have no idea."
Zhen Yuanzi sighed and said, "I have investigated for a long time but failed to find him. I am also worried that the method of refining the human pill will spread and cause chaos in the three realms, so I had no choice but to bring it out at the Dan Yuan Conference. I have spoiled the fun of the Great Heavenly Venerable, and I hope the Great Heavenly Venerable will forgive me."
The Jade Emperor's eyes fixed, somewhat surprised.
He originally thought that Zhen Yuanzi was the victim that Yang Jian had brought to file a complaint with the emperor, but now it seems that this is not the case!
If Zhen Yuanzi doesn't bring the matter up, then this matter can only be left to Yang Jian!
This means that Yang Jian has to bear all the consequences alone!
No wonder Zhen Yuanzi, a good-natured man who always prefers to keep things quiet and not get involved in trouble, would break his usual habit and take the initiative to stand up this time.
Not only because the matter involves the ginseng fruit tree, his lifeblood, but also because of Yang Jian, the sucker!
Sure enough, as soon as Zhen Yuanzi finished speaking, Yang Jian stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I have some clues about what Zhen Yuanxian said."
The Jade Emperor looked at Yang Jian deeply. Now that things had come to this point, he could only ask, "Oh? The God of Justice actually knew about this?"
The immortals looked at Yang Jian in surprise.
People outside are saying that everything in the Three Realms cannot escape the Third Eye of the God of Justice. They didn’t believe it at first, but now they believe it a little bit!
Yang Jian nodded, took out a jade bottle from his arms and opened it.
Inside the jade bottle were two more human pills!
A boy and a girl.
Its body is in a shape of five hearts facing the sky, with all its limbs intact, but its appearance is different from the one that Zhen Yuanzi took out!
This also proves that these pills are made from the souls of young boys and girls!
"The refining techniques of these four human pills are exactly the same. They were made by the same person!"
"Not only do they have similar auras, but their appearances are also somewhat similar! They must be from the same clan connected by blood!"
…
Among the immortals who can participate in the Danyuan Conference, the weakest one is at the Xuanxian realm. Even if some of them are not good at refining pills, they still have the most basic eyesight.
They saw the connection between the four human pills at a glance and started discussing it.
However, some gods were puzzled: "Why would the God of Justice carry this human pill with him? He wouldn't want to report this to His Majesty at the Dan Yuan Conference... Why are you pulling my clothes!"
The deity who kindly reminded him froze in his tracks, and hurriedly distanced himself from the matter: "How did I pull your clothes? Stop talking nonsense!"
Other gods: “…”
The immortals are not fools, and many of them are aware of this, but they see through it but don't expose it.
At this moment, the atmosphere in Taixuan Jade Palace suddenly became weird after being exposed by this young man.
Yang Jian said in a cold voice: "The affairs of the Three Realms are numerous and complicated, and the various files and evidence are piled up like mountains. As the God of Justice, I must always carry them with me so that I can answer your questions at any time."
As he spoke, Yang Jian reached into his sleeves, took out a file and placed it beside him.
Then, the second, third, fourth...
In just a moment, a pile of files half a person's height had been piled up beside Yang Jian.
No wonder he can become the god of justice!
This is too exaggerated!
The immortals were stunned and shocked, but they also felt admiration for Yang Jian.
Most immortals are relaxed and free-spirited, and do not have much patience for these complicated trivial matters, but that does not mean they do not admire immortals who have the ability and patience to handle these matters.
Yang Jian is the undisputed number one in the Three Realms!
The Jade Emperor was also stunned.
For a moment, it was unclear whether this was because Yang Jian was meticulous and did not leave any flaws, or if he was just like this all the time.
However, on the surface, the Jade Emperor still praised: "The God of Justice is self-disciplined and dedicated to public service, and should be a role model for the three realms."
"I am a good administrator in my position, and I do not deserve such praise from Your Majesty."
Yang Jian said modestly, waved his hand, put away all the files, and continued: "These two human pills were found by me in the water palace at the lower reaches of Tongtian River..."
When the Jade Emperor heard the words "Tongtian River", he knew who Yang Jian's target was.
As Yang Jian continued to tell the story, everything turned out to be just as he had guessed.
According to Yang Jian, when he was conducting an investigation of the gods' Jiazi period nineteen years ago, he discovered that the water god of the Tongtian River system had not yet returned to heaven to report on his duties.
So, he sent people to Tongtian River to urge them.
It was discovered that all the water gods, big and small, in Tongtian River had died, and even ordinary aquatic creatures were few and far between in the waters of Tongtian River.
He realized the seriousness of the matter and went down to earth to investigate in person.
turn out……
"Twenty-two years ago, when Sandalwood Merit Buddha and his companions were passing through Tongtian River on their way to the West to seek Buddhist scriptures, they encountered a monster named Linggan Dawang in the river. This monster killed the water god of Tongtian River and forced mortals to build a temple to worship him. In exchange for blessing mortals with good weather and good harvests, he also required mortals to present him with a pair of boys and girls every year."
At this point, the immortals all understood that the King of Inspiration was the culprit in refining the human elixir!
Those who knew the origin of the King of Inspiration had their faces suddenly changed, and they looked at Yang Jian in panic and horror.
Those who didn't know, as Yang Jian continued to talk, learned that the King of Inspiration was a goldfish in the lotus pond of Guanyin Bodhisattva, who took advantage of the high tide to escape to the Tongtian River.
This is actually nothing, it is just accusing Guanyin of not disciplining her pets strictly and allowing them to do evil.
This kind of thing has happened countless times over the years.
Most of the Jade Emperors asked their masters to take them back for punishment.
Only a very small number were sent to the Heavenly Prison in accordance with the Heavenly Laws and Regulations.
For example, the golden and silver boys of Taishang Laojun.
For example, the green ox of Taishang Laojun.
Taishang Laojun: ...
It was not that the Jade Emperor did not give face to Taishang Laojun, but that Taishang Laojun himself was too concerned about his face. Forced by Yang Jian, in order to show that he would never show favoritism, he sent his subordinate's boy mount to the Heavenly Prison.
In addition, Jiuling Yuansheng of Taiyi Tianzun was also imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison.
——This is to show that Yang Jian and Xuanmen will never show favoritism.
But, with Yang Jian's words, "After Guanyin Bodhisattva took the fish monster away in a bamboo basket, she cast a spell to kill all the living and dead in the Tongtian River, and sent them to the underworld and into the reincarnation tunnel." The taste suddenly changed.
The story goes that Guanyin instructed the King of Inspiration to use young boys and girls to refine human elixirs, and in order to prevent the news from leaking out, she killed them to silence them.
As for the matter of salvation, it is easier to understand.
Nowadays, Buddhism and Taoism almost divide the underworld equally.
Taoism is the underworld of Mount Tai, and Buddhism is the netherworld.
Guanyin was afraid that the souls of these unjustly died would leak the news, so she sent them to the underworld to let them reincarnate as soon as possible.
This one is clearly pointing out that the Lord of the Underworld, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, is shielding the person.
Taixuan Palace suddenly became quiet and dead silent.
Guanyin is one of the three great Bodhisattvas of Lingshan and the person most trusted by the Buddha Tathagata. She has been representing Buddhism in the three realms over the years.
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is the leader of Buddhism in the underworld. His words, "I will not become a Buddha until hell is empty," have earned Buddhism a great deal of reputation .
These two are real Buddhist masters!
Now, Yang Jian directly said that Guanyin ordered his subordinates to refine human pills and kill people to conceal the news.
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva was partial and violated the law to protect Guanyin.
This is no different from poking a hole in the sky!
The gods who were on good terms with Guanyin or had received favors from Guanyin could not bear it any longer.
"Yang Jian! You are so brave! Do you know what you are talking about? Guanyin Bodhisattva is so compassionate and Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva sacrificed his life to save the people, how can I allow you to slander them like this!"
"God of Justice, is there some misunderstanding here? Guanyin Bodhisattva and Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva would never do such a thing!"
"Yang Jian, don't shut up! Are you trying to stir up a fight between Xuanmen and Lingshan?"
…
Yang Jian, the god of justice, holds a high position of power and has enjoyed great prestige over the past five hundred years.
However, compared with Guanyin and Ksitigarbha, there is a huge gap.
For a while, all kinds of accusations and scoldings were heard everywhere.
The Jade Emperor looked solemn and said meaningfully: "Yang Jian, this matter is of great importance! You must think it through before you speak!"
He was persuading Yang Jian to stop!
However, Yang Jian seemed to not understand at all, and said loudly: "Whether Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva knows about this, I don't know, and I dare not speculate. But what Guanyin Bodhisattva did in Tongtian River, I dare to guarantee with my life, there is absolutely no falsehood."
Taixuan Jade Palace was quiet again.
The weight of these five words “guarantee with my life” is too heavy!
It was so serious that even those who trusted Guanyin were shaken!
It also shows Yang Jian’s attitude of never giving up!
The Jade Emperor said, "Many monsters in this world like to eat people. Many of them pretend to be gods and trick mortals into offering sacrifices and offering young boys and girls. What evidence do you have to prove that it was the fish monster who refined the human pill?"
Yang Jian said, "I have a witness. In addition to using young boys and girls to refine human pills in the Chenjiazhuang section of Tongtian River, the fish demon also secretly refined human pills in another tributary of Tongtian River without the knowledge of Guanyin Bodhisattva."
"When Guanyin Bodhisattva was killing people in Tongtian River, the two water monsters who were refining human pills for the fish monsters happened to be collecting boys and girls in the mortal village. They luckily escaped. I have brought them back to heaven. Your Majesty can summon them for questioning at any time."
Both witnesses and material evidence are here!
And Yang Jian guarantees it with his life!
The immortals looked at each other in bewilderment. Even those who respected and trusted Guanyin the most could not help but waver.
The Jade Emperor said, "These can only prove that the fish demon used young boys and girls to refine human pills. How can we prove that this matter is related to Guanyin Bodhisattva?"
Without waiting for Yang Jian to speak, he added: "Don't say anything about killing and silencing people. These are just your guesses. Guanyin Bodhisattva may just want to eliminate the remaining evil and save them. She is just merciful."
The immortals first looked at the Jade Emperor in surprise, and then all looked at Yang Jian.
The Jade Emperor's words were almost an explicit attempt to protect Guanyin.
They wanted to see how Yang Jian would respond.
Only Li Anran was stunned.
The Jade Emperor's words seemed to be an excuse, but no matter how he looked at it, it seemed like he was helping Yang Jian to beat Guanyin to death!
Because Yang Jian had already produced the evidence that the Jade Emperor wanted!
"These four human pills are the evidence."
Yang Jian pointed at the four human pills that looked like boys and girls and said, "Your Majesty, the Great Immortal Zhenyuan has just said that these human pills were made by someone who coveted the ginseng fruit tree and tried to use the essence and blood of boys and girls and the incense of their blood relatives as the main ingredients to refine pills with similar effects to ginseng fruit."
"In the Three Realms, there are very few people who have come into contact with the ginseng fruit tree and ginseng fruit, and even fewer who have the ability to research this kind of elixir. And in the past hundred years or even a thousand years, the only person who meets this requirement is Guanyin Bodhisattva."
"When Tang Monk and his disciples were passing through Wuzhuang Temple, they had some dirty things with Zhenyuan Daxian and knocked down the ginseng fruit tree. They asked Guanyin Bodhisattva to come and save them."
All the immortals were silent.
With this point added, it is almost certain that it was Guanyin who instructed the King of Inspiration to refine the human pill, and in order to silence them, he killed and liberated all the living beings in Tongtian River.
The Jade Emperor stopped talking, only frowned, as if he was in a dilemma.
"Your Majesty, Guanyin, for her own selfish desires, ordered her demons to use young boys and girls to refine human pills. She was afraid that the news would leak out, and..."
Just as Yang Jian was about to make the final decision, he saw the Four Heavenly Masters hurried in and shouted, "Your Majesty, something terrible has happened! The army of the Great Emperor Zhenwu has been defeated! The monsters from the Monster Master's Mansion in the North Sea are rushing towards the North Heavenly Gate!"
