Chapter 245 Gol D. Kunpeng?
The prison is heavily guarded inside and outside, with numerous traps and strict security.
However, this tight security is only for ordinary cultivators. In front of a powerful being like Tathagata, the Heavenly Prison is no different from an open gate.
Ten days passed in a flash.
During this period, many powerful people used various means to sneak into the Heavenly Prison to find Kunpeng and inquire about the whereabouts of the Hongmeng Purple Qi.
For example, Tathagata, Dipankara, Taiyi Tianzun, Taishang Laojun, and so on.
However, not a single one chose to rescue Kunpeng!
Firstly, Kunpeng killed the Golden Spirit Mother. Saving him would not only be a slap in the face of the Heavenly Court, but would also completely offend the Red Cloud Ancestor and the Jiejiao.
Secondly, all of Kunpeng's cultivation was taken away by Yunxiao using the Hunyuan Golden Bowl, and his strength was only one tenth of what it was, so he was no longer of much value.
Li Anran was able to look into Kunpeng's life through the Book of Punishments, and he had a clear view of what had happened during that period.
The great men such as Tathagata and Taiyi Tianzun offered Kunpeng the best conditions, which was to keep a wisp of Kunpeng's soul for reincarnation, and then accept him as a disciple in the next life, giving him a chance to cultivate again.
Kunpeng refused without hesitation.
If this were still ancient times, he might have considered it.
But it is too late now. Even if he could reincarnate and cultivate again, without the memory of his past life, he would never be able to achieve enlightenment and become a saint, let alone break through to the Golden Immortal level.
It would be better to die quickly than to live like this, relying on others for support!
Kunpeng has experienced many ups and downs over the years, but he still has this broad mind and courage.
And faced with the inquiries of many powerful people about the Hongmeng Purple Qi.
Not only did he give the answer, he gave it to everyone.
"Back then, I was tricked by Hongyun. I mistakenly thought that he threw the Hongmeng Purple Qi into the Primal Chaos to save his own. So I hurried to look for it. But, in fact, what he threw out was a fake Hongmeng Purple Qi. The real Hongmeng Purple Qi is still in his hands."
"A hundred years ago, I discovered that Hong Yun appeared in Xiniu Hezhou, and I immediately rushed over to find out the whereabouts of Hongmeng Purple Qi. Unfortunately, I was a little behind, and he hooked up with Haotian and took action first, resulting in this end."
It is obvious that Kunpeng is trying to kill someone with a borrowed knife.
But at the same time, they also saw that Kunpeng was telling the truth.
At least Kunpeng himself thinks so!
"Kunpeng wants Ancestor Hongyun to die!"
Li Anran saw all this and felt his scalp tingling. After a moment of thought, he finally sent a message to Old Ancestor Hongyun using a flying crane, considering the kindness Old Ancestor Hongyun had shown him.
Li Anran did not say anything too specific, only that Kunpeng had a deep hatred for him and would probably try every means to drag him down with him before he died, so he told Patriarch Hongyun to be careful.
Patriarch Hongyun wrote back to express his gratitude and said that he would pay more attention and told Li Anran not to worry.
Li Anran just wanted to repay the kindness, so after Patriarch Hongyun said so, he stopped talking and devoted all his energy to Taoist Hongjun's preaching.
Even if you browse through the life stories of evildoers in the Book of Punishments, the speed of time flows countless times faster than in reality.
But, the actual ten days is still too short for the Taoist to preach!
Li Anran felt only the blink of an eye before the heavenly soldiers and generals outside the door reported that Taibai Jinxing had come on the orders of the Jade Emperor, asking him to escort Kunpeng and a group of ancient demon saints to the Demon-Slaying Platform for execution.
At that moment, Li Anran wanted to drive Taibai Jinxing and the others away, and then imprison Kunpeng for another hundred or thousand years.
However, he was just thinking about it.
Kunpeng has too many enemies!
Even Tathagata Taiyi Tianzun only dared to promise to protect a wisp of his soul to be reincarnated, let alone Li Anran!
At the same time, Guanyin's ten-day confinement punishment has also ended.
[It is detected that the prisoner Guanyin Bodhisattva of Chaoyin Cave in Luojia Mountain is unable to continue to atone for his sins. You will receive an additional reward (click to draw). ]
"Withdraw." Li Anran clicked casually.
Compared to Guanyin, whose sin value was only three stars, he was more looking forward to Kunpeng, who secretly provoked the decisive battle between the Lich and the Demon, and whose sin value reached eight stars.
【You have obtained the golden hoop. 】
When Tathagata sent Guanyin to the Tang Dynasty in the East to look for a monk to seek Buddhist scriptures, he gave her five magic weapons: a brocade cassock, a nine-ring staff, and three hoops: golden, tight, and forbidden.
These three hoops were originally prepared for Tang Monk's three disciples, but Guanyin saw through Zhu Bajie and Sha Monk's nature at a glance, and took away the golden hoop and the forbidden hoop, and only tricked the monkey into wearing the tight hoop.
Later in the Black Wind Cave, he forced the black bear monster to wear a forbidden hoop and took him in as the guardian god of the mountain in the back mountain.
In the original time and space, this last and most powerful golden hoop was left by Guanyin to Red Boy, who was then taken in as the Shancai Boy under her command.
But in this world, after the monkey encountered Red Boy and was blocked from drilling through Mountain No. 1, he did not ask Guanyin for help, but went to Heaven to ask Li Anran to subdue Red Boy.
The golden hoop remained in Guanyin's hand and she never had the chance to use it.
“It’s actually an innate spiritual treasure!”
Li Anran scanned the area with his spiritual sense and found that the golden hoop was actually an innate spiritual treasure. With a thought in his mind, Anran guessed, "Is this golden hoop Ma Sui's magic weapon? Or is it Ma Sui himself?"
Ma Sui, the golden hoop fairy, is one of the second generation disciples of Jiejiao and a congenital creature.
In the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation, he captured Huanglong Zhenren, one of the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect, with one hoop.
After the formation was broken, he disappeared.
Now it seems that he finally fell into the hands of Western religion.
Li Anran thought again of the tight hoop on the monkey’s head and the forbidden hoop on the black bear monster’s head.
After Wutan took off the monkey's tight hoop, he smashed it to pieces with a stick.
However, the black bear demon's restraining hoop is still there.
There is a fine line between innate creatures and innate magic weapons.
Li Anran had a vague premonition that the tight hoop and the forbidden hoop should be the magic weapons refined or associated with Ma Sui. This golden hoop was most likely the original body left after his true spirit was shattered. Its power was even greater than Zhao Gongming's innate magic weapon, the Dragon Binding Rope.
Guanyin didn't know that the golden hoop that she "had never been willing to give away" had been copied by Li Anran.
After the ten-day confinement was over, she did not leave in a hurry, but waited outside the Heavenly Prison, watching Li Anran escort Kunpeng and the other demons from the Demon Master's Mansion to the demon-slaying platform.
The Great Emperor Zhenwu and Zhao Gongming, led by Wang Lingguan and the two generals Turtle and Snake, had been waiting for a long time. They took the monsters from Li Anran and tied them to the monster-slaying pillar.
Yang Jian led two divine officials from the Temple of Justice and stood in the air right in front of the Demon-Slaying Platform.
The Temple of Justice is in charge of the laws and rules of heaven.
Yang Jian must first read out the crimes of the monsters, and then announce the legal punishments, in order to demonstrate the justice of the Heavenly Court and the majesty of the Heavenly Laws.
In addition, many heavenly soldiers and generals, including the Twenty-Eight Mansions, the Nine Stars, the Twelve Yuan Chens, the Zhou Tian Constellations, etc., guarded the demon-slaying platform and set up a large formation to prevent any accidents.
Holy Mother Wu Dang, Sanxiao, Wen Zhong and others were also standing on the clouds, just to watch with their own eyes the death of Kunpeng, the enemy who killed Holy Mother Jin Ling.
This was all within Li Anran's expectations.
The only thing he didn't expect was that Zhen Yuanzi and Hong Yun Laozu also appeared at the execution scene!
Ancestor Hongyun has a blood feud with Kunpeng. Li Anran can understand his desire to see his enemy die!
However, at this time, it was really unwise for him to ignore Li Anran's previous reminder and appear in such a place!
Zhen Yuanzi, who was beside Old Ancestor Hongyun, had a look of worry and helplessness on his face. He obviously didn't want Old Ancestor Hongyun to come here, but he couldn't persuade Old Ancestor Hongyun, so he could only accompany him on this trip.
In the mortal world, executions are carried out at 3:15 pm because the Yang energy is strongest at this time. Executions at this time can prevent the soul of the death row prisoner from turning into an evil spirit.
There is no such saying in heaven.
Not long after Li Anran and Emperor Zhenwu escorted Kunpeng and the others to the Demon-Slaying Platform, Taibai Jinxing brought the Jade Emperor's order, telling Yang Jian that they could begin.
Yang Jian, wearing a black robe and silver armor, stepped forward and said solemnly, "I am hereby ordered by the Jade Emperor to send you the Demon Master Kunpeng, who is originally a spirit of heaven and earth and has attained the Great Dao..."
The Jade Emperor and Yang Jian both wanted to use Kunpeng to establish their authority, so they cast spells to disperse the clouds in the sky and used the Haotian Mirror to reflect the scene on the Demon-Slaying Platform into the void.
Not to mention the cultivators and monsters in Dongsheng Shenzhou, Xiniu Hezhou and Beijuluzhou, even the mortals in Nanzhanbuzhou and even the ghosts and spirits in the underworld can see the reflection in the sky.
For a moment, the entire three realms were shaken.
Countless mortals knelt on the ground, looking at the majestic heavenly soldiers and generals in the sky, kowtowing continuously and praying for God's blessing.
The demons and monsters were trembling with fear, and they truly understood the importance of Heaven. They no longer dared to have the slightest thought of resistance.
Kunpeng seemed to have sensed something and raised his head slightly to look towards the horizon.
The Great Emperor Zhenwu stood beside Kunpeng, holding the Demon-Suppressing Sword.
Although Kunpeng's cultivation was destroyed, his body was still strong and could not be hurt by ordinary magic weapons.
The Jade Emperor wanted to use Kunpeng to establish his authority, so naturally he would not use the most common swords, guns, axes, fire, lightning and thunder as he did to the monkey.
The Haotian Mirror is hung above the demon-slaying platform. It is not only used for live broadcast, but also to stabilize the spirits of the demons.
The people he chose to execute were the Great Emperor Zhenwu and Zhao Gongming!
This is not using a sledgehammer to crack a nut!
Most of the remnants of the ancient demon court, headed by the demon master Kunpeng , have committed heinous crimes. Whether they are escorting, sentencing or executing them, it is a great merit!
The Jade Emperor is actually rewarding people based on their merits and dividing up the benefits.
So, there was a scene where Li Anran escorted the suspect, Yang Jian pronounced the verdict, and Emperor Zhenwu and Zhao Gongming were responsible for the execution!
but……
"Why does it look so familiar..."
Li Anran stood on the side of the demon-slaying platform, looking at Kunpeng who was kneeling on the ground and tied up. Suddenly, he felt a familiar sense of déjà vu, as if he had seen this scene somewhere before.
suddenly.
A light bulb went off in Li Anran's head, and he suddenly remembered it and opened his eyes wide.
Gol D. Roger!
Before Li Anran could finish his thought, Yang Jian had already read out Kunpeng's crimes and finally asked, "Kunpeng, do you have anything else to say?"
Kunpeng glanced at Yang Jian, then shifted his gaze to the old ancestor Hongyun, who was looking very happy in the distant sky, and suddenly a smile appeared on his face.
Ancestor Hongyun's heart skipped a beat and he had a bad feeling of extreme danger, as if a disaster was about to happen.
Kunpeng spoke up: "Do you want to become a saint? If so, go find Hongyun. The Hongmeng Purple Qi is on him!"
Ancestor Hongyun: "!!!"
Gods and Buddhas everywhere: “!!!”
All beings in the three realms: "!!!"
Li Anran: “…” Fortunately, he doesn’t want your treasure!
While Li Anran was complaining, he couldn't help swallowing his saliva, and deeply felt Kunpeng's tremendous resentment and hatred towards Ancestor Hongyun.
Kunpeng told many powerful people that the Hongmeng purple energy was on the body of Ancestor Hongyun, which was already putting Ancestor Hongyun in trouble.
What happened today has only added fuel to the fire. Ancestor Hongyun will probably have a hard time in the future!
Ancestor Hongyun also understood this. The moment Kunpeng opened his mouth, he felt countless tremendous malice coming towards him. He couldn't help but shiver, and his face became extremely ugly.
"Fellow Daoist Hongyun."
Just then, a voice sounded behind him.
Ancestor Hongyun's already tense nerves were stretched to the limit. His terrifying magic power surged out and he glared at him murderously.
When he realized that it was Zhen Yuanzi who called him, Laozi Hongyun quickly withdrew his magic power and forced a smile, but it was uglier than crying: "Brother Zhen Yuan."
Zhen Yuanzi said: "It is not advisable to stay here for long, let's leave as soon as possible."
"Okay." Patriarch Hongyun was in no mood to watch any further, so he and Zhen Yuanzi hurriedly left the Heavenly Palace.
"Hahahahahaha!" Kunpeng laughed wildly and looked at the back of Ancestor Hongyun, his eyes full of joy and lingering resentment.
Patriarch Hongyun and Zhen Yuanzi flew halfway.
Ancestor Hongyun suddenly stopped.
"Fellow Daoist Hongyun?" Zhen Yuanzi was a little confused.
Patriarch Hongyun bowed solemnly to Zhen Yuanzi and said, "Brother Zhenyuan, thank you for your help over the years. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would have died billions of years ago."
Zhen Yuanzi realized what Patriarch Hongyun wanted to say, and was about to say a few words of advice when he was stopped by Patriarch Hongyun.
"Brother Zhenyuan, I know you are kindhearted and loyal, and you are willing to stand up for your friends. But I can't be so selfish as to stab you a few times."
Patriarch Hongyun smiled, bowed three times to Zhen Yuanzi, and said, "Let's say goodbye now. If there is a chance in the future, I will repay you for your kindness."
Ancestor Hongyun did not give Zhen Yuanzi another chance to speak, and turned into a red light and disappeared into the sky.
Zhen Yuanzi moved his mouth, trying to stop Patriarch Hongyun, but in the end he just sighed.
The Hongmeng purple energy was stirring people's hearts. After what happened today, even he did not have the confidence to protect the Hongyun Patriarch.
If he were to pretend to be strong and force Patriarch Hongyun to stay in Wuzhuang Temple, not only would Hongyun be in danger, but his Wuzhuang Temple might also be destroyed.
Is it really that important to attain enlightenment and become a saint?
Zhen Yuanzi felt a little bored and turned around to fly towards Wuzhuang Temple.
In the Lingxiao Palace.
When the Jade Emperor heard that Kunpeng had directly announced the news of the Hongmeng Purple Qi, his first reaction was to immediately turn off the projection of the Haotian Mirror, but he soon realized that this was not a bad thing for him.
There are not many people in the Three Realms who know what Hongmeng Purple Qi is.
Even fewer are qualified to pursue enlightenment and sanctification.
Kunpeng's action seems to be shocking, but in fact it only lets those powerful people who have no chance to sneak into the Heavenly Prison know the whereabouts of the Hongmeng Purple Qi, bringing more trouble to the Hongyun Ancestor.
The impact on the three realms is really not that great!
And if those who are capable of competing for the Hongmeng Purple Qi can fight each other to a bloody defeat, it would be great news for him!
——The fewer these uncertainties are, the stronger his control over the three realms will be!
"Tell Yang Jian to execute him immediately." The Jade Emperor said calmly to Taibai Jinxing.
Taibai Jinxing immediately passed down the order.
The Great Emperor Zhenwu did not hesitate at all, he simply raised the Demon-Slaying Sword and slashed down.
Blood spurted out.
The laughter stopped abruptly.
