I'm an immortal in heaven

Chapter 691 Punishment
When Mother Lianhua heard Fang Jian bringing Lei Jiang and Lei Bing over, her first reaction was to run away, but after thinking about it carefully, what she was doing now was far from enough to run away, so she gave up running road idea.

So the old mother Lianhua greeted her out of the Lianhua Cave. Although she didn't know who the fairy official was, his strength was not weaker than hers.

When Mother Lianhua saw Fang Jian again, he still had a gentle smile on his face, but the moment he spoke, Mother Lianhua's mood plummeted: "Fellow Daoist, something happened to you."

Old Mother Lianhua couldn't help rolling her eyes, then bowed to Fang Jianji and said, "Poverty Daoist Li Qingyang, whose name is Lianhua, how dare you ask God?"

"It's easy to say, Fang Jian, the Taoist name is Hongqing." Fang Jian returned the courtesy with a smile.

Mother Lianhua's pupils shrank instantly, and a tsunami set off in the depths of her heart, Fang Hongqing!It turned out to be him.

"Tong'er, serve tea." Mother Lianhua came to her senses and immediately shouted into the cave.

Then she bowed to Fang Jianji, then pointed to the top of Lingji Mountain covered by a huge pine tree in front of her and said, "Master Hongqing, let's sit there and talk."

"Yes." Fang Jian nodded.

Under the pine tree, there was a stone table and three stone benches, where Fang Jian, Mother Lianhua, and General Chen En of the Lei Department sat respectively.

After sitting down, two ordinary-looking ghost boys from the Yangshen Realm offered spirit tea to Fang Jian and Chen En. Mother Lianhua said, "This is spirit tea made from 3000-year-old Qingyang lotus seeds. Daoist Hongqing please use it. What is the general Lei's name?"

Chen En said softly, "Chen En."

"General Chen, please have tea." Mother Lianhua said with a simple hand.

Holding the spiritual tea, Fang Jian smelled the quiet and sweet aroma in the cup and said curiously: "Qingyang lotus seeds? Are they the lotus seeds of Qingyang white lotus?"

"Exactly." Mother Lianhua said: "To tell you the truth, Pindao's body is a 5-year-old Qingyang white lotus."

Fang Jian nodded slightly. It seemed that the 3000-year-old Qingyang lotus seeds were formed by the Qingyang white lotus raised by the old mother Lianhua herself.

Thinking of this, Fang Jian couldn't help but feel a little bit, like him and Chen En drinking lotus seed tea is not wrong, but the old mother of lotus is also a Qingyang white lotus who has become an immortal, so drinking lotus seed tea of ​​her own kind is a bit strange?

But Fang Jian didn't ask any more questions, but took a sip of lotus seed tea, and the tea entered his throat, and it instantly turned into a fragrant and warm aura that entered his body, refreshing and pleasant.

"Good tea." Fang Jian nodded, and then put down the teacup, "But the tea is delicious, but there are more important things to do."

After finishing speaking, Fang Jian took out a flash of spiritual light, and then directly released the shadow of the spiritual light, and pointed to the Hundred Ghosts Bottle inside and asked, "Friend Lotus, is this Hundred Ghosts Bottle your magic weapon?"

Mother Lianhua glanced at it, then nodded and said, "It's my magic weapon."

Fang Jian asked again: "Is that why you borrowed this treasure from Hu Meng, the god of Dianxiang Mountain?"

Mother Lianhua shook her head and said, "Yes."

After finishing speaking, the old mother Lianhua took out the thousand-year-old Hanzhi grass, and said to Fang Jian: "The mountain god of Dianxiang Mountain borrowed this bottle from Pindao for a few days at the price of this thing."

Fang Jiandao: "He borrowed the bottle of Hundred Ghosts and wantonly released ghosts to invade the mortal world, do you know?"

Old Mother Lianhua said: "Borrowing the Hundred Ghost Vase is just for this purpose. Pindao knows it, but it has nothing to do with Pindao. lent it to him."

Fang Jian said: "But you know that he is an immortal official, and you are also guilty of joint and several crimes for lending this treasure to him."

Mother Lianhua said: "If so, I will plead guilty."

Fang Jian and Chen En were fooled by this, so they simply pleaded guilty?
General Fang was stunned for a moment, and then said again: "According to Hu Meng's confession, you also privately released ghosts into the mortal world for him to capture and help him accumulate meritorious deeds and get promoted. Is there such a thing?"

Mother Lianhua heard the words and said: "Realist Hongqing, Pindao has never done this before!"

"But this is Hu Meng's confession." Fang Jian said.

Mother Lianhua shook her head and said: "That's just his own wishful thinking. Pindao has never had such an idea, and he has never personally admitted that there is such a thing."

Fang Jian and Chen En looked at each other. If it was true what Mother Lianhua said, then he would have to go back to the Heavenly Court to question Hu Meng's soul.

Putting this aside for the time being, Fang Jian continued to ask: "Friend Lianhua, Hu Meng also confessed a little bit, saying that you have made a lot of immortal officials, is there such a thing?"

Mother Lianhua nodded and said: "It is true. The poor Taoist loves to make friends. If there is any happy event, he will hold a banquet in the cave, and invite fellow Taoists from all over the world to come and gather."

After finishing speaking, Mother Lianhua looked at Fang Jian and asked, "Is this also a crime?"

"This is not guilty, but I need to find out whether you have used the authority of these immortal officials to act recklessly." Fang Jian said.

Mother Lianhua smiled lightly, and then said calmly: "Master Hongqing, please check."

Fang Jian stood up and said, "Of course I need to investigate, but I still need Fellow Daoist Lianhua to come with me."

Mother Lianhua was startled when she heard the words, her mind turned thousands of times, and she finally stood up and said, "Okay."

"Ancestor!"

Hearing that Mother Lianhua was going to go with Fang Jian, Yaoxiu and Guitongzi immediately yelled in concern.

Mother Lianhua turned to Yaoxiu and Guitongzi and said, "You guys take good care of the cave, I will return soon, my ancestor."

Afterwards, Mother Lianhua was watched by General Lei and Lei Bing and rose up from the clouds. Under the leadership of Fang Jian, she came to Nanzhan Buzhou Tianjun Mansion first.

The reason why I came to Nantian Mansion first was to check whether there was anything that violated the rules of heaven in the relationship between Mother Lianhua and those immortal officials.

After hearing the announcement, Master Baizhen, Shangshu of Nantianfu, immediately came out to welcome him. When Fang Jian explained his intention, Master Baizhen immediately led Fang Jian and his party into the 'Nantian Hall'.

Nantian Temple, here records the investigation files of all the immortal officials in the entire Nanzhan Buzhou, as well as the transfer and change of all things related to the immortal officials in the lower realm.

After arriving at Nantian Temple, Fang Jian said to Old Mother Lianhua, "Please fellow Taoist priests, tell me the official titles and titles of those immortal officials so that I can check them out."

Mother Lianhua then revealed the names of the immortals and officials who had made good friends with her, almost including city gods, mountain gods, land, water gods, well gods, and even ghost messengers and ghost gods in the underworld.

Fang Jian ordered the historians of Nantianfu to check the names given by Lianhua's mother one by one, and finally found that everything was normal.

All these immortal officials are dedicated to their duties, except for Hu Meng who has just been arrested, no one has violated the laws of heaven.

After Fang Jian got the result, he first glanced at the calm old mother Lianhua, and then asked Master Baizhen, "Shangshu, will the records of the immortal officials in the Nantian Palace be wrong? Or is there something missing?"

Master Bai Zhen shook his head and said: "No, these records are taken from their immortal official jade discs. If they use their power without authorization, there will be records in the immortal official jade discs."

The immortal official jade plate will indeed record the process of the immortal official's unauthorized use of power, but if the authority of the immortal official is not involved, then the immortal official jade plate will not record it.

For example, Hu Meng used the Hundred Ghosts Bottle to control ghosts into the human world, because it did not involve the authority of the immortal officials. If Fang Jian hadn't seen the ghosts with his own eyes and figured out its origin, Nan Tianfu and Fang Jian would not have known about it. .

Therefore, after checking in the Nantian Temple, it can only be shown that these immortal officials have not violated the laws of heaven involving their own authority. From this point of view, these immortal officials are all innocent.

If you want to investigate other things, you have to find these immortal officials in the lower realm to conduct a detailed investigation.

After the investigation, Fang Jian bid farewell to Master Bozhen, left Nantian Mansion with his mother Lianhua, returned to the Heavenly Court, and came to the Taiyi Thunder Division of the Leibu.

Mother Lianhua has been watching intently since she entered the Nantianmen. As soon as she entered the Taiyi Thunder Division, Fang Jian smiled and said: "Look carefully, it is not easy for a Sanxian to enter the Nantianmen once."

Chen En also said from the side: "Most of them are either heinous crimes or immeasurable merits."

Mother Lianhua said: "Then am I a heinous sin or immeasurable merit?"

Fang Jiandao: "If you have immeasurable merit, go directly to the Lingxiao Palace, and you will go to the Ministry of Thunder as soon as you come, I can't say."

Mother Lianhua looked at Fang Jian and said, "Realist Hongqing is a god of justice, don't you know?"

Fang Jian said: "It depends on Hu Meng."

After all, Hu Meng still failed to escape the soul-searching. Originally, he was about to be sent to Lei Ze, but in the end another edict came down, and he was sent back to Taiyi Thunder Division.

When Hu Meng saw Old Mother Lianhua in Taiyi Leiting Division, he was completely bewildered.

But Mother Lianhua nodded to Hu Meng with a flat face, and said hello: "Hu Shanshen, are you here all right?"

But before Hu Meng could answer, Fang Jian pointed at Hu Meng and said, "Let's get started."

So two real fairyland thunder generals stepped forward, one held down Hu Meng, and the other cast a soul-searching method on Hu Meng.

After a cup of tea, Hu Meng passed out, and the two generals handed over his memory.

After checking Hu Meng's memory with Jian He, Fang Jian confirmed what Mother Lianhua said, that Hu Meng was indeed wishful thinking, because Mother Lianhua sent ghosts to help him earn merits, not what Mother Lianhua said, but Ling Ji. The mountain god's guess when chatting with Hu Meng.

But Hu Meng took this conjecture seriously, and firmly believed that in order to get him promoted, Mother Lianhua would not hesitate to send her own ghosts to give the head.

"Poor." Fang Jian shook his head, waved his hand and said, "Take it down."

After Hu Meng was taken down again, Fang Jian finally turned his head to look at Old Mother Lianhua and said, "Fellow Taoist Lianhua, your matter has been clarified for the time being, but you are jointly and severally guilty of lending the Hundred Ghosts Bottle to Hu Meng, and you I have sent my ghosts to the world more than once, these are two crimes."

Fang Jian looked at Old Mother Lianhua and said, "According to Articles 130 and [-] of "Tian Tiao·Sanxian Law", you are now sentenced to [-] counts of lightning whips. Do you have anything to say?"

Mother Lianhua bowed and said: "I have heard that Daoist Hongqing strictly enforces the law and judges justice. The poor have nothing to say and are willing to be punished."

Fang Jian nodded slightly, and then said to General Lei below, "Seal the mana and escort him to the execution platform."

When General Lei came forward to seal the mana, Mother Lianhua moved slightly, but she endured it in the end and did not resist.

The spells used by the Leibu to seal mana were all given by the Leidi of the Five Fangs, and here is the Leibu. After struggling for a while, Mother Lianhua chose to obey.

Beidi Lei Tingsi, Fang Jian, Jian He, and Huo Yi stood on the execution platform, looking at the old mother Lianhua who was being punished by the lightning whip in the center of the platform in front of him.

130 lightning whips are not something a Sanxian who is a Xuanxian Taoist can easily withstand.

When the punishment reached a hundred lightning whips, the body of Lianhua's old mother was bloody and bloody, and her left arm was broken into three pieces, and her right arm was broken into two pieces. Flesh and even bones turned over.

After 130 thunder whips, Mother Lianhua was lying on the ground dying. Her body from the neck down to the thighs was no longer human, just like a pile of meat paste on a stick.

"Find two Lei soldiers to send her back." Jian He said, "Since the punishment is over, my Heavenly Court still wants to be merciful."

"Yes." Fang Jian had no objection to Jian He, so Jian He summoned two Lei soldiers, asked them to carry a long jade board, and lifted Mother Lianhua's body onto the jade board.

"Reverend Hongqing." At this moment, the mother Lianhua who was lying on the jade board suddenly called out slightly.

Fang Jian stepped forward, only to see a stream of fresh blood smeared with flesh foam spit out from the mouth of the old mother Lianhua. The originally bright and beautiful face became extremely hideous because of the pain at this moment. She looked at Fang Jian with a pair of weak eyes and said: " Daoist Hongqing, don’t throw away my severed limbs, please.”

Hearing this, Fang Jian lowered his head to look at the severed limbs of the old mother Lianhua on the execution platform, then used his power to pick up some of her severed limbs, and then put them on her.

"Thank you, Daoist Hongqing." A difficult smile appeared on Mother Lianhua's face.

After saying this, Mother Lianhua coughed up a mouthful of blood again, and passed out.

Fang Jian said at this time: "Remove the seal."

Lei Jiang on the side stepped forward and removed the seal on Mother Lianhua.

With the removal of the seal, Mother Lianhua's mana immediately poured into her body and began to heal her wounds by herself, but the wounds caused by the thunder whip were not so easy to heal. At least for a month, Mother Lianhua would not be able to leave the cave.

Fang Jian personally took two Lei Bing down to send Mother Lianhua back to Lingji Mountain. After watching the ghost boy and demon cultivator in Lianhua Cave bring Mother Lianhua into the cave, he left with the two Lei Bing.

Lei Bing returned to Heaven, while Fang Jian returned to Luer Village.

When he returned to the small courtyard of Mei Xianzhang's family in Lu'er Village, he saw a relatively unfamiliar figure.

It was a monk wearing a Buddha hat and cassock, but holding a dust whisk in his hand, with a white beard and white hair. No, to be precise, it should be an old Taoist priest wearing a monk's skin.

Fang Jian's spiritual thoughts swept away, and his face was slightly surprised, he couldn't see the Taoist deeds of this old Taoist priest.

So Fang Jian asked the editor to look at the old Taoist's Taoism, and soon the editor gave Fang Jian the answer: "Golden Immortal."

At this time, Mei Xianzhang was confronting the old Taoist priest outside the courtyard. Seeing this situation, Fang Jian flew down invisibly, and only showed his figure after landing.

"Look, your father is back." The old Taoist found Fang Jian the first time he appeared, and pointed at Fang Jian and said to Mei Xianzhang.

Mei Xianzhang turned his head to look at Fang Jian, first he looked happy, and then said to Fang Jian: "Father, hit him quickly, he has interrupted my study more than once."
