Chapter 34: Cowherd and Weaver Girl
The third person who bumped into Li Anran’s hands was not Meishan Laowu, but Laosan!
Following Yang Jian's orders, he found Kang Lao Da, Zhang Lao Er, and Xiao Tian Dog, and asked them to go to Nanzhanbuzhou to reunite with Yang Jian, and then returned to heaven.
As a result, he learned from Meishan Laowu about Li Laosi's plan and the fact that Laosi and Laoliu had disappeared after sneaking into the Tianlao.
The third brother of Meishan couldn't sit still anymore, so he turned into a monster and became the third gourd baby to come to the door.
When Li Anran was going crazy in the Sky Prison, Meishan Laowu was almost going crazy with anxiety.
If one accident happens, it may be an accident; if two accidents happen, it may be a coincidence; if three accidents happen, it must be that the other party has discovered their identities!
Meishan Laowu did not dare to delay any longer and immediately sent people to Nanzhanbuzhou to report the whole cause and effect of the matter to Yang Jian.
…
In the southern part of Jambu Continent, on the banks of the Qinshui River.
A simple yard surrounded by a wooden fence.
The Weaver Girl, wearing cloth and a straw hairpin, sat in front of the window, weaving cloth skillfully, and the sound of her weaving cloth could be heard incessantly.
The cowherd was teasing the children in the yard. The older one was over five years old, and the younger one was still in swaddling clothes. Their giggles continued to ring out.
Suddenly, a thick cloud covered the sky and the wind suddenly became stronger, making the surrounding trees rustle and the leaves fall in all directions.
“Is this going to change?”
The Cowherd turned around and was about to call the Weaver Girl to collect the clothes that were hanging out to dry, but he noticed that the Weaver Girl was looking at the sky with a look of horror.
He followed the direction of the Weaver Girl's gaze and saw a tall man wearing silver armor and a black cloak standing proudly in the thick clouds. He was handsome, cold and majestic.
"Husband, let's go!"
The Weaver Girl held the baby in one hand, the Cowherd, and her eldest son in the other, and tried to escape.
Bang!
A golden light suddenly appeared around the yard, like a barrier, bouncing them back into the yard.
"Wa wah——" the two children burst into tears in fear.
However, the Weaver Girl had no time to comfort him. She took out her personal magic weapon, the weaving shuttle, and urged it to move repeatedly.
Brilliant rays of light burst out and hit the golden light curtain, but they only caused ripples and could not shake it at all.
suddenly.
She seemed to have noticed something and turned her head suddenly.
Yang Jian's figure appeared in the yard at some point.
"God of Justice!"
The Weaver Girl's face suddenly changed, and she clenched the shuttle in her hand to protect her husband and children.
The Cowherd also realized what had happened. He looked a little frightened. He hugged his two children and shrank back behind the Weaver Girl.
Yang Jian glanced around.
Dilapidated houses, washed clothes, half-finished looms, empty cowsheds...
Finally, it fell on the Weaver Girl, who was fearful and uneasy but gritted her teeth to show him her magic weapon, the Cowherd, who was trembling and didn't even have the courage to look him in the face, and the two children, one big and one small.
Long-dormant memories came to Yang Jian's mind, and he rarely showed his emotions, looking a little dazed.
The Weaver Girl noticed this and suddenly remembered Yang Jian's life experience. She suddenly felt a ray of hope in her heart: "God of Justice, I know that I have violated the heavenly rules and have committed serious crimes. I am willing to return to heaven with you to accept punishment. But my husband and my children are innocent! Please let them go!"
Yang Jian blurted out, "For such a person, is it worth giving up the immortal status that I have cultivated so hard and the merits that I have accumulated for countless years?"
Almost as soon as he finished speaking, Yang Jian realized that he had said something out of turn. He immediately suppressed all his emotions, his eyes calm and cold, without any emotion at all.
"Hasn't your mother already made her choice?" said the Weaver Girl.
Yang Jian really wanted to say "no".
When the Heavenly Palace sent people to capture their family, his father was not like the cowherd, who would just cower and hide behind his wife, not daring to even raise his head.
Although his father was just a mortal who knew only some worldly martial arts, he dared to stand up and face the gods in heaven, shooting arrows at them, and finally risked his life to save him and his sister.
But he also knew that he couldn't say these words.
Even though he had used his magic power to isolate the yard.
“You don’t understand!” Yang Jian snorted coldly, and a ray of divine light burst out from his third eye and fell on the Weaver Girl.
The Weaver Girl was shocked and tried to break free, but she found that not only her spiritual power was sealed, but her body was also fixed and she could not move.
"Madam! Madam!"
The Cowherd called out twice in panic, but there was no response from the Weaver Girl. He was terrified to the extreme. He screamed "Ah", dropped the child in his arms, and ran out the door.
Buzz!
A golden light lit up, catching the swaddling clothes that was about to fall to the ground, and slowly landed on the ground.
There was a loud "bang" as if the cowherd had hit the wall out of thin air, and his head was broken and bleeding. He fell to the ground screaming.
"Husband! Husband!"
The Weaver Girl was fixed by Yang Jian's Heavenly Eye and had no idea what was happening behind her. When she heard the Cowherd's screams, she panicked and shouted at Yang Jian: "Yang Jian! You are the God of Justice, and you don't feel ashamed to attack a mortal..."
The sound stopped abruptly.
Yang Jian didn't want to hear these unpleasant words, so he completely froze the Weaver Girl.
He was too lazy to interrogate Niulang. A golden light fell from his Heavenly Eye and he directly chose to search his soul.
Parents died early, living with brother and sister-in-law, old cow in the house speaks human language, clothes are stolen, forced into marriage...
Yang Jian's face was gloomy, and the murderous intent in his eyes almost solidified into reality.
He originally thought that this was another case of a fairy falling in love with a mortal and marrying him.
Although such things are rare, they are definitely not uncommon. At most, it is because the Weaver Girl had poor vision and chose such an irresponsible man.
Unexpectedly, this was not a mutual love at all, but the cowherd used extremely despicable and shameless means to forcibly deceive a simple and ignorant fairy who was inexperienced in the ways of the world!
"And that bull demon!"
Yang Jian closed his eyes, recalling the scenes he saw in Niulang's memory, trying to find out the other party's identity.
But, there was no gain.
The bull demon must have anticipated this day. Before leaving, he used his magic power to erase the content in Cowherd's memory that would expose his identity.
And judging from the other party's action of leaving behind the bull's horns, the identity of the bull demon is most likely fake!
The only thing that is certain is that the other party did it on purpose!
She deliberately instigated the Cowherd to steal the Weaver Girl's clothes and set up a trap to make the Weaver Girl tempted!
Is it me or the Heaven?
Yang Jian took a deep breath, and clenched his hands tightly in his sleeves.
He was afraid that if he could not control himself, the murderous aura that leaked out would scare the cowherd to death.
Soon, Xiaotian Dog came over with Boss Kang and Zhang Laoer.
"Second Master." Boss Kang and Second Master Zhang still had a smile on their faces, but Roaring Sky Dog was already a little angry.
He couldn't remember the last time he saw his master so murderous!
But it has been at least thousands of years, even dating back to the Conferred God Period!
"Roaring Sky Dog."
Yang Jian grabbed the ox horn hanging on the wall of the house and threw it to Xiaotian Dog.
The Weaver Girl’s magical powers are modest, but she was able to live with the Cowherd for nearly seven years without being discovered by the mountain gods and the land gods, thanks to the ox horns that can conceal their scent.
If the youngest daughter had not fallen ill and the Weaver Girl had not been forced to go collect cloud fungus, they could have hidden for at least another five to ten years.
Roaring Sky Dog took the horn, sniffed it, and then used the technique of tracking for thousands of miles.
After a moment, Xiaotian Dog opened his eyes and smiled flatteringly: "Master, I found it! It's in the northwest!"
“Okay!” Yang Jian’s eyes flashed with sternness, and he said, “Second Brother, take them back to the Temple of the God of Justice and keep them under good care. I…”
Before he could finish his words, a grass-headed god flew over from the horizon in a hurry and shouted, "Second Master, something terrible has happened!"
Then, Yang Jian learned what happened in Heaven from the Grass-Headed God.
"Old Four is usually very steady in his work, how could he be so confused this time! Even if he wants to make up for his mistake, he shouldn't take such a risk!"
Boss Kang helped his brother to excuse himself and said, "Second Master, I will go back to heaven and rescue them!"
"No, it's too late."
Yang Jian made the decision without any hesitation: "Second brother, you take them back to the Justice Heavenly Palace. I will go to deal with the matter at the Heavenly Prison first. First brother, you and Roaring Sky Dog go to track down this bull demon. After you find it, don't act rashly. Send someone to notify me and wait for me to come over."
Fearing that Boss Kang didn't know the seriousness of the situation, Yang Jian emphasized once more: "That bull monster is not simple, you must not act rashly!"
After saying that, Yang Jian turned into a ray of golden light and disappeared. Not long after, he arrived outside the gate of the Heavenly Prison and met Meishan Laowu.
Hearing the news that Qiu Yin had not returned to Heaven yet, Yang Jian immediately breathed a sigh of relief. He immediately asked Meishan Laowu to return to the Temple of Justice first, while he used the invisibility technique to enter the Heavenly Prison.
The security in the Heavenly Prison was already lax, and in front of Yang Jian, it was like the door was open wide.
When he got into the stone chamber, Yang Jian saw the three Meishan brothers tied into a ball of string.
Yang Jian: “???”
Yang Jian was a little confused. He had lived for so many years and had experienced all kinds of things, but this was the first time he had encountered something like this.
Then, Yang Jian noticed Li Anran, who was standing at the prison door with a frown and a bitter look on his face. He also learned from the conversation between the heavenly soldiers and generals that all this was done by Li Anran.
Almost instantly, he made a judgment in his mind.
