Volume 3: The World of the Lotus Lantern Chapter 12: The Majesty of Heavenly Laws
Watching Sanxiao and the others leave and listening to Bixiao's words, Jiale couldn't help laughing. If one day they really had to attack the Heavenly Court, they would really have to tell Bixiao. Someone would have to pick them up.
Yes, we have to find a way to get along well with Nezha. After all, this gangster is well-known and has good strength. How can we fight against the Heavenly Palace without an insider? The best way is to cooperate with both inside and outside.
Bah, bah, what is he thinking about? Cherish life and stay away from Bixiao. How can he, a man who puts morality first, think about these things?
"Master, if you stop being the demon king, what will happen to these guys?"
Tiangou looked at the monsters in front of him with some reluctance. Which monster doesn’t have a dream of becoming a monster king? There were once 300,000 monster soldiers in front of you, and you.
Jiale glanced at Tiangou. He was a little hesitant at first, but now there was no need to hesitate. The man was in love and the woman was willing.
"Right, I think we should take good care of them. How about this, I'll leave you here as the demon king for a few days, and you help me guard this foundation. When I attack the Heavenly Palace, I'll call you back, how about that?"
Attack Tiangong!
Tiangou was excited when he heard this, thinking to himself that his master was indeed dedicated to his career. It was usually hard to tell that he was secretly planning such a big idea. Although he was reluctant to leave his master, he should make some sacrifices for his master's cause.
"Master, rest assured. I will definitely protect your foundation for you. When you attack the Heavenly Palace, I will serve as a vanguard for you."
Jia Le was delighted when he heard this. "Then I'll be waiting for you. You can develop here secretly. Remember, you must keep a low profile. Master, I will withdraw first."
After leaving the Seventy-two Demon Caves, Jiale did not plan to return to Maoshan, but instead prepared to head straight to Nanzhanbuzhou. Qingyunzi, his new roommate, didn't know anything about him yet, and he must be very worried now.
Qingyun Temple.
Qing Yunzi looked at the two people in front of him with some confusion. Jia Le said that he was going out for a while, and then he never came back. Now he is many years old, and Qing Yunzi even suspects that Jia Le has found a new love and forgotten his old love.
That’s fine, good things are gone, but bad things are coming.
Dong Yong usually looks quite honest and loyal, but that's just an appearance. He's holding back a big move and is ready to unleash it. Wow, he just brought the princess of the big boss in heaven. She's the seventh princess of heaven. What's the meaning of Dong Yong bringing her here? Isn't this harming him?
Should he pretend not to see it or what?
What will he say when the Jade Emperor comes looking for him? He is just a small character in the Yuanshen realm and cannot withstand any major storms.
"You, what are you doing? Get down the mountain quickly. I will pretend I have never seen you today."
Dong Yong took a step forward upon hearing this.
"Master Qingyun, you have to help me."
Taoist Qingyun was stunned when he heard this. If he had known this day would happen, he would never let Dong Yong go up the mountain. But now, his kindness is not rewarded. You bring him benefits, but he brings you disaster.
"Help? What help? Do you want me to help you again? Do you know who is next to you?"
Dong Yong looked even happier at Qing Yunzi's appearance.
"Master Qingyun, I knew you were capable. Otherwise, how could you know Zi'er's identity?"
"You cheated me!"
Seeing the appearance of the Seventh Princess today, Qing Yunzi was indeed a little uneasy and even lost his composure.
In fact, it is not his fault. The main reason is that ever since the incident with Yao Ji, the heavenly law that forbids immortals and mortals from falling in love has become a forbidden zone for the Jade Emperor. Over the years, no matter who the immortal is in love with, none of them are spared and all are severely punished.
What's more, now it is his daughter's turn. Needless to say, if this news gets back to heaven.
Not only will Dong Yong, the pig that dug up the cabbage, have a hard time surviving, but even those who are related to him will surely die or be destroyed if they are touched.
Now that Dong Yong has brought the Seventh Princess here, he is already in a trap. If anything happens, he will be dead under the majesty of the Jade Emperor. Even the Sanxiao Temple cannot save him. After all, he is now useless, and his status in the Sanxiao Temple has dropped greatly. It is not worth it for the Sanxiao Temple to offend the Heavenly Court for him.
"Master, this is not important. Zi'er's father probably doesn't agree with us being together, and he has sent people to capture Zi'er. Now he is probably on the way. We have nowhere to hide. Master, if you don't help us, we will really be doomed."
It's over! It's over! It's completely over.
The troops who were chasing him have already been brought to the mortal world, but you guys just hid in Qingyun Temple. Isn't this harming him?
"Master Qingyun, if you are willing to help us, Zi'er will definitely repay you handsomely in the future."
At this time, after seeing Qingyun Temple, the Seventh Princess' eyes lit up. Although Qingyunzi's cultivation was low, his status was not low. The Seventh Princess had seen the skills of Sanxiao Temple. Now seeing the aura of Qingyunzi's skills, Qingyunzi was definitely the direct descendant of Sanxiao Temple. Sanxiao Temple was an important temple of the Shangqing lineage. Qingyunzi's identity could definitely help them.
Moreover, Qingyun Temple is under the protection of the Three Goddesses of the Sky, and is now shrouded in spiritual light. Even if important generals are sent by Heaven, they would not dare to spy on it. If they hide here, they will never be discovered by the Heavenly soldiers.
Qing Yunzi smiled bitterly upon hearing this.
"Seventh Princess, I don't know why you are so sure about Dong Yong. Apart from being filial, what other merits does this boy have? You should know the seriousness of the matter. Once the Jade Emperor knows about your affairs, he will never let you go easily. In the end, no one will benefit. Even if you hide here today and escape the disaster, what about the future?
Within the Three Realms, whoever the Jade Emperor wants to find can escape.
The laws of heaven are ruthless. Does the Seventh Princess think she can escape by hiding?"
The Seventh Princess naturally knew what Qing Yunzi meant, but once love was born, how could it be easily given up? Even if they could only stay together for a while, it would be enough to satisfy her.
"Dong Lang!"
"Zi'er!"
Qing Yunzi looked at the two people who were worried just now, but now they looked affectionate. He felt helpless immediately. It would be bad enough if he just sat at home and waited for disaster to come, but now he had to eat a lot of dog food. If he was wrong, please let the avenue continue to punish him instead of sending these two bastards.
boom!
At this moment, infinite majesty descended from the foot of Qingyun Mountain, and an aura of power enveloped the entire Jinling City, including the entire Qingyun Mountain.
A golden cloud appeared at the edge.
Behind the golden cloud, there were countless shadowy figures, including tens of thousands of heavenly soldiers and generals. Leading the group was a tall and powerful general in golden armor, holding a pair of golden hammers.
"Didn't they say the princess is here? Why can't I sense her presence?"
Qianliyan and Shunfenger were also sent by the Jade Emperor this time, together with the giant spirit to capture the seventh princess and bring her back. As for the mortal who seduced the seventh princess, they did not need to bring him back, but could just kill him directly.
One day in heaven is one year on earth.
It has been almost three years since Jiale left Qingyun Temple, and he has been in heaven for three days.
Last time, Zi'er rushed back in time and fooled the Queen Mother. Then, under the cover of her sisters, she left the heaven and came to the earth. She carefully observed Dong Yong's life and inquired about his past. She became even more curious and admired Dong Yong. By chance, somehow, their two hearts gradually became connected.
Even the seventh princess was reluctant to return to heaven.
The seven princesses had to pay their respects to the Queen Mother every day, and the Queen Mother would visit them from time to time.
The Seventh Princess also remembered the day she would go back. She had been with Dong Yong for a year and was about to go back, but Dong Yong happened to be involved in a lawsuit. If she did not help to deal with it, Dong Yong would be dead if she came back. But because of this, she missed the time and was discovered by the Queen Mother. After an investigation, the Seventh Princess simply did not dare to go back, and now she is being hunted down by the heavenly soldiers and generals.
Ever since the incident with Yao Ji, the Heavenly Palace, the Jade Emperor, and the Queen Mother have become laughing stocks.
The Jade Emperor hates and takes such things very seriously.
Now, something like this has happened to his own daughter again. The Jade Emperor hates Dong Yong even more than Yang Tianyou.
The Seventh Princess is only a True Immortal, but the Giant Spirit is a Mysterious Immortal, and he has tens of thousands of heavenly soldiers and generals, plus the ability to see and hear from afar, which is enough to ensure that nothing goes wrong.
But when they were in heaven, they clearly found that Dong Yong and the Seventh Princess were there, but how come they disappeared in the blink of an eye?
"General, could it be that the princess is hiding somewhere?"
Although the Thousand-Li Eyes and the Sharp-Hearing Ears can see the whole world, these magical powers are great, but they cannot see everywhere.
The giant spirit's huge body isn't all muscle, he also has a good brain. However, since he's fighting for heaven, he doesn't have to use his brain most of the time. All troubles can be solved with one blow of his hammer.
His eyes looked down at the Taoist temples and other monasteries surrounding Jinling City.
Finally, we decided to stay at Qingyun Temple.
"Come on, both of you follow me down."
If the Heavenly Court is the central dynasty, then the various sects of Xuanmen, Buddhism, etc. are the princes of the Heavenly Court. The Jade Emperor is also working hard to govern the country, but he cannot withstand the even stronger power of the princes. So for the sake of the stability of the Three Realms, the Heavenly Court has to maintain its majesty and have different attitudes towards these princes.
Just like the Qingyun Temple in front of him, the aura of the Three Little Ladies is so strong, how dare the Giant Spirit God act recklessly? Not to mention that the ranks of the Three Little Ladies are higher than his. If he offends the Three Little Ladies, those gods in heaven will not let him go. Therefore, it is better to be particular about the ways and methods when doing things.
Tens of thousands of heavenly soldiers and generals were left in the sky, while the giant spirit came to Qingyun Temple with his clairvoyance and superb hearing.
"Woe to you! Woe to you!"
Qing Yunzi was still thinking about how to get rid of Dong Yong and the Seventh Princess when the aura of the Giant Spirit God came without any concealment.
Qingyunzi really didn't want to get involved in the Seventh Princess' affairs. If it was just Dong Yong, Qingyunzi could use a spell to get rid of Dong Yong. However, the Seventh Princess was a true immortal, with a higher cultivation level than Qingyunzi. If she insisted on staying here, Qingyunzi would have no choice.
Now that the giant spirit has arrived, the door is blocked and we can’t leave even if we want to.
"I don't know which Taoist priest is in charge of this Taoist temple. Please see me ."
When the voice of the giant spirit came, the seventh princess also panicked. At that time, she loved it and didn't care about other things, but now she is more and more afraid.
The sisters all knew the Jade Emperor's character. If she was really captured, she was afraid that it would be difficult for her to leave Heaven again.
The most important thing is Dong Yong. Given Yang Tianyou’s previous experience, if Dong Yong is captured, it would be difficult for him to die.
"Master, what should I do?"
Seeing the panic of Dong Yong and the Seventh Princess, Qing Yunzi was also very angry. If he had known this would happen, he would not have done it in the first place. Now he is afraid, but what's the use? If he has the ability, he should not do it. Only those who dare to do and take responsibility are good people. What are you doing by bringing disaster here?
He shook his head and walked towards the gate of the Taoist temple, while thinking about how to deal with it.
Although he liked Dong Yong before, this liking did not mean that he had to pay such a huge price. As for the repayment mentioned by the Seventh Princess, Qing Yunzi pretended not to hear it. Even as a princess, there was nothing she could do to help him. What's more, now that she was no longer a princess, she was not sure whether she could still be a princess in the future.
squeak!
The gate of the Taoist temple was opened by Qingyunzi, and the four looked into each other's eyes.
"Qing Yunzi, a disciple of Sanxiao Temple, has met the Giant Spirit God."
After all, Qing Yunzi is only at the Yuanshen realm, so when facing the Xuanxian level Giant Spirit God, he naturally has to be polite. You have to know that Giant Spirit God is not a simple person either, and he has the entire Giant Spirit God clan behind him. This is not a simple force. Although it is not as good as the Shangqing lineage, it should not be underestimated. Now that his foundation is destroyed, even if he cannot create value for the Sanxiao Temple, he must never bring disaster to the Sanxiao Temple.
After seeing Qingyunzi, the giant spirit's eyes fixed. The giant spirit was knowledgeable and could naturally see the aura of the Sanxiao Sutra on Qingyunzi. This was the direct descendant of the Sanxiao Temple. Even if his cultivation was lower, he should not be underestimated. Just like Qingyunzi, Qingyunzi did not want to bring disaster to the Sanxiao Temple, and the giant spirit did not want to bring trouble to the clan. Everything was just for the sake of doing his job.
"It turns out to be Taoist Qingyun. I am here on the orders of the Emperor to ask the Seventh Princess to go back. Please be kind enough to let me in. Perhaps you can ask the Seventh Princess to come out as well."
this!
Looking at the expressionless face of the Giant Spirit God, Qing Yunzi was a little confused as to whether the Giant Spirit God really knew that the Seventh Princess was in the Taoist temple, or was just tricking him.
It has to be said that the Seventh Princess and Dong Yong really put Qing Yunzi in a difficult position.
Handing it over was not in line with his character.
If he doesn't hand it over, not only will he offend the Giant Spirit God and the Heavenly Court, but it will also go against the founding philosophy of the Sanxiao Temple. Saving people is of course a good thing, but in Qingyunzi's opinion, this mess is all his own fault.
The Giant Spirit God just looked at Qingyunzi without urging him. After scanning Jinling City, the Giant Spirit God was basically certain that if the Seventh Princess was really hiding, she was most likely in Qingyun Temple. Now seeing Qingyunzi's appearance, he was even more certain. However, this was no longer a question of whether she was there or not, but a question of how Qingyunzi would choose.
The Giant Spirit God had not thought of coming into conflict with Qing Yunzi. If Qing Yunzi refused, he would definitely turn around and leave. When the time came, he would report to the higher-ups, and the Jade Emperor and the Shangqing lineage would negotiate for it.
"Hey! Is there a guest?"
call!
After hearing this voice, Qing Yunzi couldn't help but be surprised and happy, and he even breathed a sigh of relief, "Senior Brother, you are really a savior."
"Brother! You are finally back."
Qing Yunzi didn't care about anything else. As soon as he finished speaking, he hid behind Jiale. If the sky fell, there would be tall people to hold it up. With Jiale around, it would not be his turn to deal with all this.
Looking at Qing Yunzi's appearance, Jia Le was also surprised.
After he left the Seventy-two Demon Caves, he rode the cloud all the way to Jambu Continent, hurrying along the way. His use of the Shangqing Fairy Cloud had improved to a higher level. Only after he saw the Qingyun Temple did he press the cloud down.
Ever since his cultivation broke through to the realm of true immortals and he found supporters like Ge Xuan and Sanxiao, Jiale has lived a happier life and is no longer so calculating. After all, modern people yearn for a worry-free and free life. If he were to be as calculating as before, it would be too tiring.
Before he landed, he really hadn't thought about what was going on, but looking at Qing Yunzi's appearance, Jia Le knew that this guest was probably not a good one, but a bad one.
The giant spirit also looked at Jiale, with a puzzled look in his eyes.
Jia Le from the True Fairyland is already worthy of the attention of the Giant Spirit God. After all, the True Immortals in the Sanxiao Temple all have high status and are far beyond the reach of Qingyunzi.
However, he could not see through the aura on Jiale's body. It was purer than Qingyunzi's, but it was definitely not the aura of the Sanxiao Sutra.
"Who is this Taoist priest?"
Logically speaking, considering Jiale's cultivation level and the fact that he is a disciple of the Shangqing lineage, he should know about him, but he really has no impression of Jiale.
"Brother, this is the Giant Spirit General of the Heavenly Court."
Giant spirit god!
Jia Le's eyes lit up, this is a warrior who appears very frequently. His cultivation is considered second-rate in the Heavenly Court, only slightly worse than Yang Jian and Nezha. However, he is the Heavenly Court's royal pioneer and can basically handle ordinary things. Kunlun's bloodline is the same as that of the giant spirit. Legend has it that this clan has the bloodline of Pangu, so their aptitude and talent are not low.
"So it's General Julingshen, so he's one of us. I'm Jingchun from Maoshan, nice to meet you, General."
From Maoshan!
The giant spirit's eyes froze. He thought Jiale was from Sanxiao Temple, but he was actually from Maoshan. Like Sanxiao Temple, Maoshan was also an important sect of Shangqing. However, Maoshan was more difficult to deal with than Sanxiao Temple. Ge Xuan's rank was higher than his. It would be troublesome if he made things difficult for him.
Jingchun! The Jing generation!
Doesn’t that mean!
"The Taoist priest is the direct disciple of Master Ge Tianshi!"
Seeing Jiale nodding, it seems that there is nothing to say about this family member. He is truly one of us.
But I just don’t know whether to talk to this family member properly or not.
"Since you are one of us, General, you don't have to be polite. Come on, let's talk inside the temple. This time in Dongsheng Shenzhou, we got some very good spiritual tea. The three generals, please come and taste it together."
After saying this, Jiale wanted to let the giant spirit into Qingyun Temple.
Qing Yunzi became anxious immediately. If the giant spirit was allowed in, the Seventh Princess and Dong Yong would be discovered. That would be terrible. It was right for them to be taken away. Don't let him be implicated.
“Senior Brother!”
Jiale pretended not to hear and walked directly inside with the Giant Spirit God and the Thousand-Li Eyes and the Wind-Ears. Seeing Jiale's enthusiasm, the Giant Spirit God was also somewhat moved. Although he was the vanguard of the Heavenly Court and seemed to have a high status, after so many years, facing the disciples of Taiqing, Yuqing, Shangqing and Buddhism, even those with lower cultivation than him did not look down on him.
Maybe it's not just him who is looked down upon, it's mainly the Heavenly Court, but this feeling is really humiliating.
Whether it is sincere or not, the giant spirit god can naturally tell. How can the giant spirit god not feel Jia Le's sincerity?
Follow Jiale into the Taoist temple.
At this time, in the Taoist temple, the Seventh Princess was already very anxious. What was going on? What kind of ghost was this senior brother who suddenly appeared? How could he let the giant spirit in? What should they do? Qingyun Temple is so small, how can they hide? Moreover, no matter how they hide, they can't escape the detection of the giant spirit and the clairvoyance and the wind-hearing ears.
After all, outside Qingyun Temple, there is the blessing of the Three Goddesses, but this does not exist inside Qingyun Temple.
"Seventh Princess!"
There is nowhere to hide, and there is no place to hide.
The giant spirit god had long guessed that the seventh princess was in Qingyun Temple. Now that he finally saw her, he bowed to her.
The Seventh Princess was stunned and glared at Jiale. In her opinion, it was Jiale's ignorance that caused her to be exposed. Otherwise, as long as Qingyunzi didn't let the giant spirit in, how could she be discovered?
"Oh! So the Seventh Princess is here too. Um, Dong Yong, you are here too."
After noticing that there was something wrong with Qingyunzi, she investigated Qingyun Temple. After seeing the Seventh Princess and Dong Yong, she knew what was going on.
But Jiale is not as indecisive as Qingyunzi.
Just pretend you don’t know the Seventh Princess is here.
After beheading the Toad Demon at Tianquan Mountain last time, Jiale knew that the Jade Emperor in Heaven was watching the split light, but there were also countless swords and sabers. The Jade Emperor might be strong enough to withstand the calculations, but since it was a calculation, it didn't matter whether it was a conspiracy or an open conspiracy, anyone who had a relationship with the Jade Emperor would not be able to escape the calculations.
This is true for Yao Ji and the Seventh Princess.
As for those who have the courage to plot against the Jade Emperor, it is probably only those few. Even fewer have reasons to do so. If you think about it carefully, it seems that you know who it is. There is really no need to get involved, so just go with the flow.
"Master Jingchun, I am here for the Seventh Princess. The Jade Emperor has ordered me to take the Seventh Princess back. I also need to take this guy away. Master, please help me."
Um!
Jiale nodded, "Since the Jade Emperor has issued an order, it is convenient for me to do this. However, it is OK for the Seventh Princess, but why is Dong Yong so important?"
As they were talking, Jiale had already prepared spiritual tea and motioned for everyone to sit down. It was strange that the atmosphere was not tense at this occasion when the Heavenly Court was arresting someone.
The giant spirit hesitated for a while and was not in a hurry to take the seventh princess back. Jiale's attitude was too good. If he acted roughly, it would be too ignorant.
"Master, the Heavenly Law has ordered that immortals cannot fall in love, and love between immortals and mortals is clearly taboo. Now the Seventh Princess has secretly come down to earth and fallen in love with this mortal Dong Yong, which is a violation of the Heavenly Law and must be dealt with according to the Heavenly Law."
Jiale nodded to show that he understood.
"Gods and immortals really shouldn't fall in love, and love between immortals and mortals is even more detrimental to the peace of the three realms. I don't know."
"Can't gods be emotional? Why? Gods also have feelings, why can't they pursue their own love, why can't they make choices about their own lives? Why do they want to stop us?"
The Seventh Princess couldn't bear to listen to Jiale anymore and interrupted him immediately.
Jiale looked at the giant spirit, and then at the Seventh Princess.
"When the gods fall in love, the Three Realms are in turmoil. The incident with Yao Ji is happening right before our eyes. How many people have died in the world and how many gods and immortals have died in heaven just because of the love between gods and immortals? The Heavenly Law has been established for so long, and each one has its reason . Time has proven that these laws are indeed of vital importance to the stability of the Three Realms. For the sake of one's own selfishness, the Three Realms are abandoned. Do you think it is fair to the creatures of the Three Realms?"
Jiale is really good at being righteous and awe-inspiring. After all, keyboard warriors in his previous life all did this, and Jiale saw too much of it. However, after becoming an immortal, these words are Jiale's true thoughts. Monks cannot help but choose a partner, but they are only responsible for themselves. It is different for immortals. They control the authority of heaven and earth, enjoy the fortune of heaven, and while abiding by the rules of heaven, they actually get more.
"If it weren't for my father's repeated pressure, there wouldn't have been so many injustices. In my opinion, this heavenly law should be abolished."
So childish!
