Chapter 89: Disloyalty and Unfilial Piety
In the side hall, it was extremely quiet.
Nezha was in a bad mood. He drank tea in silence for a while, holding his chin with his right hand, and was in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking about.
Li Anran didn't feel bored. He read over and over again the content of Kunpeng's preaching to the Nine-headed Insect, and verified it with the Nine-transformation Yuan Gong one by one, feeling quite happy to hear the truth.
Many insights also arose in his mind, and he was just waiting to return to the Heavenly Prison to try them one by one.
In a flash, another half hour passed and there was suddenly a noise outside.
Nezha suddenly woke up and walked quickly towards the door, but found that the noise was still at the door of the Temple of Justice.
Li Anran also stopped browsing the life story of the Nine-Headed Insect, stood up and walked to the door. He vaguely heard someone outside shouting, "Nezha! I know you are hiding here! Come out now!"
Are you here to find Nezha?
As soon as Li Anran had this thought, he noticed that Nezha next to him had a dark face, and his right hand was tightly holding the Qiankun Ring, with veins bulging on his hands.
He immediately understood that the person outside must be Li Jing!
Only he can make Nezha lose his composure like this!
Li Anran said, "Brother Nezha, I will go and send him away."
The Temple of Justice has strict rules, but Nezha, Li Anran and the Three Holy Mothers are able to enter and leave freely because of their special identities and Yang Jian specifically instructed them to do so.
The rest, even Li Jing, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, could only be kept outside the door.
Nezha stopped Li Anran and said, "I'll go by myself. Li Jing loves to complain. If I don't go out, he will definitely complain about you and my second brother to the Jade Emperor. There's no need for that."
After saying that, he strode out of the hall.
Li Anran also followed.
There were more than a dozen figures standing at the door of the God of Justice.
The leader looked to be in his forties, with a square face and a long beard. He wore a golden-winged crow crown, a dark blue seven-treasure armor, and held an exquisite pagoda in his left hand. It was none other than Li Jing, the Pagoda-Holding Heavenly King.
Behind him were four gods wearing golden armor and helmets and a group of heavenly soldiers, looking dusty and embarrassed.
Seeing that Nezha was indeed in the Temple of Justice, Li Jing took a step forward and shouted, "You evil boy! You are hiding here! Get out now!"
Li Anran's heart skipped a beat.
He and Nezha have known each other for such a long time, and he knows that Nezha cares most about his face. Li Jing scolded Nezha in front of so many people, which can be said to be trampling on Nezha's face.
Li Anran hurriedly looked towards Nezha beside him, fearing that Nezha would kill his father on the spot in a rage.
But what he didn't expect was that Nezha behaved much calmer in front of Li Jing than before in the palace. When being scolded by Li Jing in public, he just said expressionlessly: "Did Li Tianwang suffer another defeat? Why are you so angry?"
Li Jing almost couldn't breathe, his face looked extremely ugly. He stretched out his right hand, and directly transformed it into a whip, and lashed at Nezha on the head.
While beating him, he cursed loudly: "You disloyal and unfilial beast! I have been loyal to the Heavenly Court in my conquests, but you, little beast, don't think about sharing the worries of the emperor, nor do you know how to relieve the worries of your father, and you hide here and won't come out..."
"Tower-Bearing Heavenly King!"
Li Anran interrupted Li Jing and said, "The Great God of the Three Altars and Seas came to the mortal world with me and the Three Holy Mothers to capture the murderer who killed the Fourth Princess of the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea. He is not hiding here as you said. If you dare to slander him again, don't blame me for reporting you to the Jade Emperor!"
"Are you the prison god Li Anran?"
Li Jing sneered at Li Anran and snorted with contempt, "You really learned it from your master! I raised this little bastard, and he can't tell the priorities. What's wrong with me teaching him a lesson? Is it your turn as an outsider to make irresponsible remarks?"
Li Anran said, "You are teaching your son a lesson, it has nothing to do with me, but please take him back to Yunlou Palace. This is the Temple of the God of Justice! The Third Holy Mother is not feeling well and is resting in the temple. If you wake her up, it will be my fault."
Nezha lowered his head and said nothing. His expression remained numb, with only a hint of gratitude flashing in his eyes.
Compared to being whipped by Li Jing, being humiliated in public was more painful for him.
"Good! What a great prison god! I will make note of this!"
Li Jing glanced at Li Anran coldly and shouted at Nezha, "You evil creature, what are you still standing there for! Aren't you ashamed ? Come back to Yunlou Palace with me! Let me show you how I'll deal with you!"
Li Anran watched Li Jing and Nezha leave, then turned and returned to the Temple of the God of Justice.
Behind.
The two grass-headed gods guarding the gate couldn't help but murmur, "Why is this Heavenly King Li the Pagoda-Bearing so unreasonable? He took his anger out on the Third Prince after being defeated!"
"That's right! He doesn't look like a son at all, he's clearly an enemy!"
Li Anran shook his head secretly.
It is true that the son is an enemy, and it is true that you can vent your anger on him, but this is not the most important thing!
Li Jing’s main purpose today should be to fall out with Yang Jian!
Today, the most powerful god in heaven must be Yang Jian, but Li Jing, the demon-conquering general who commands 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals, is equally good.
The Jade Emperor was first pleased to see Li Jing and Yang Jian fall out!
Secondly, Yang Jian has offended countless people during this period of time while rectifying the rules of heaven.
Although Li Jing offended Yang Jian by making such a fuss, he also made friends with others.
It can be said to kill two birds with one stone!
Li Jing's keen sense of smell and decisiveness in choosing sides are really terrifying!
Li Anran sat in the side hall and waited for almost two hours before Yang Jian brought the Meishan brothers back to the Temple of the God of Justice.
This time they came to the mortal world to go to the underworld to deal with the previous riot in the City of the Dead and the escape of evil spirits from the eighteen levels of hell.
I saw Li Anran waiting in the side hall, and it was obvious that he had been waiting for some time.
They immediately understood that something had happened, and hurried forward to ask: "Brother Li, what happened?"
Li Anran told the story of the Three Holy Mothers, Nezha and Li Jing, including his speculation that Li Jing had deliberately fallen out with Yang Jian.
"Li Jing really deserves to die! He has no ability himself, but he puts the blame on Brother Nezha!"
"Second Master, should we think of a way to help Brother Nezha vent his anger?"
…
The Meishan brothers were all filled with indignation.
Yang Jian's face also darkened. It didn't matter whether Li Jing had a falling out with him or not, but using Nezha to attack him was touching his bottom line.
But he also understood that this was an open conspiracy and Li Jing was deliberately provoking him.
The more he fought back, the more it proved that Li Jing and he had fallen out.
"I have my own plan for this matter!" Yang Jian raised his hand, stopped everyone's discussion, and thanked Li Anran: "Brother Li, thank you for your hard work on my third sister's matter!"
"You're too polite, Second Master. This is what I should do." Seeing that there was nothing else for Li Anran to do, he said goodbye and left.
Yang Jian asked Boss Kang to send Li Anran , and he walked into the quiet room.
Looking at the Third Holy Mother, who was still frightened and kept murmuring "Fourth Princess" in her sleep, Yang Jian's face was full of pity.
He pondered for a moment, turned around and left the quiet room, told the Meishan brothers to guard outside, and took the Precious Lotus Lantern and Roaring Sky Dog and flew to the West Sea.
Soon, the man and the dog arrived at a deserted island.
"Master, this is it." said Xiaotian Dog.
Yang Jian nodded, and a silver light suddenly shot out from the third eye on his forehead. The ground cracked open, revealing the dragon corpse buried in the soil.
Yang Jian glanced over and had a rough idea in his mind. He made some hand gestures and summoned the Precious Lotus Lantern.
Buzz!
The Precious Lotus Lantern was suspended above Long Si's body, shining brightly and shedding thousands of rays of light.
However, these rays of light were like a drop in the ocean and failed to produce any effect.
Yang Jian sighed, took back the Precious Lotus Lantern, touched his forehead with his fingertips, and wisps of seven-colored light flew out from his body and fell into the Precious Lotus Lantern.
If there were other immortals here, they would be so frightened that their eyes would pop out when they saw this scene.
This is not ordinary magic power, but merit, immense merit!
Among all the immortals, only the earthly immortals are the easiest to accumulate merits.
But, this is easy only relatively speaking!
Earthly immortals must be loyal to their duties and handle everything in accordance with the ultimate principles of heaven and earth.
Yang Jian had been an earthly immortal in Guanjiangkou for ten thousand years, and nearly one-fifth of the merits he had accumulated were consumed in this instant.
The effect is also very obvious!
Specks of light gathered from all directions, like fireflies, and flew into Yang Jian's palm, finally condensing into a fist-sized, crystal clear ball of light.
As the light flowed, a translucent figure could be vaguely seen inside the light ball.
It’s the Fourth Princess of the East China Sea!
However, Long Si in the light ball had his eyes closed and curled up into a ball, just like a candle in the wind that could go out at any time.
Yang Jian did not dare to delay and hurriedly put the remnant soul into the Precious Lotus Lantern, then flew to the Temple of Justice with Roaring Sky Dog.
