I am guarding the sky prison in Journey to the West

Chapter 101
Southern Zhan Buzhou, Han Dynasty, Yuzhou.

The scorching sun hung in the sky, emitting light and heat unscrupulously, and the air seemed to be a little distorted.

The sky was clear, not to mention clouds, and there was not even a little wind.

The cracked ground is like mouths that are difficult to close, telling the degree of drought.

Crowds of victims looked numb, like walking corpses, and walked towards the direction of Yecheng.

As far as they could see, it was all dark yellow, and they had eaten up all the vegetation, but it was far from enough to feed them. From time to time, some people couldn't hold on and fell to the ground.

"quack--"

The vultures had been waiting by the side for a long time, staring at these crumbling people, and when they saw someone fall, they flapped their wings and rushed over.

However, it is still a step late.

At the moment when the victim fell down, many victims around had noticed.

They turned their heads a little stiffly, like awakened evil spirits, their numb expressions turned ferocious and frenzied, and they swarmed over.

After a while, the crowd gradually dispersed.

There was only a big pool of blood left on the ground.

Thick white bones were thrown all over the ground, covered with teeth marks.

At the same time, in the county seat of Qiaoxian County, the administrative seat of Yuzhou, a high platform was erected, about three feet high.

On the left and right of the high platform are the 28 constellations, and on the top there is a table with an incense burner and a candlestick. There is a gold medal engraved with the name of the god of thunder on it.

There are five large vats below, all filled with clear water, and willow branches are floating on the water, and there is an iron plate on the willow branch, and the inscription on the plate is Lei Tingdusi's talisman.

There is a paper stove in the middle, and there are several lifelike characters, all of whom are the gods who carry the talisman and praise the land.

A Taoist priest wearing a Taoist robe with straw sandals and a yellow scarf on his head stood in front of the table, holding a sword and muttering words.

There was also a little Taoist priest standing beside him, holding a few talismans written on yellow paper in his hands.

The prefect of Yuzhou led the officials in the city to kneel near the high platform, and there were countless people of Yecheng outside.

Since three years ago, Qiao County, no, it should be said that the whole Yuzhou has been precarious, with constant natural disasters.

First, there was an earthquake, nearly half of the buildings in the city collapsed, and countless people were killed or injured.

The earthquake was followed by a severe drought.

It went on for three full years, and it still hasn't ended yet.

Today's Yuzhou is no longer the prosperous scene in the hinterland of the Central Plains. Bandits outside the county are rampant and bandits are everywhere. The common people are displaced and cannibalism has occurred in many places.

"Bless the gods! Save the people of Yuzhou!"

The prefect of Yuzhou was only forty-two, but his gray hair was already worried, and he looked like an old man in his 60s or [-]s.

He knelt on the ground respectfully, praying in his heart.

This is also the wish of the entire Yuzhou people.

The Taoist on the stage stepped on the seven stars, walked on a dragon and tiger, circled around three times left and right, opened his eyes suddenly, took the token in the hands of the little Taoist, threw it into the air, and shouted: "The wind is coming!"

The token spontaneously ignited without fire, and a wisp of white smoke floated into the sky faintly, as if conveying a message.

call--

In just a short while, a gust of wind blew slowly, and it kept getting bigger and bigger, blowing the flags on the stage to rattle.

"It's windy! It's really windy! The Taoist priest of Taiping Dao is indeed a god-man, who can communicate with gods!" The prefect of Yuzhou looked at the sudden wind, and his face showed ecstasy.

Needless to say, the surrounding people looked at the Taoist on the stage with fanaticism.

They didn't dare to disturb the Taoist's spellcasting, they just kowtowed their heads, and some of them smashed their foreheads, but they still refused to stop.

Compared with other places, Qiao County is the seat of Yuzhou, and the people in the city are relatively rich, and their situation is better than that of the refugees and disaster victims outside.

But, it's just better!

Today, they are almost at the end of the road.

Praying for rain today is their last hope!

Taoist Yellow Turban took out another token and threw it into the sky, shouting, "Cloud!"

In an instant, dense clouds covered the sun in the sky, giving the earth a chance to breathe.

This time, not only the people around the high platform, but also the disaster victims outside the city also noticed the change in the sky, and they knelt down on the ground one by one, wanting to cry but their tears had long since dried up, and kowtowed to pray to heaven.

On the stage, the Yellow Turban Taoist became more and more busy, adding incense, burning talismans, chanting mantras, and laying down tokens.

"Ray comes!"

rumbling rumbling—

Thunder and lightning flickered in the clouds, and golden snakes danced wildly.

Toss the token again.

"It's raining!"

There was a drizzle of rain in the sky, and it became bigger and bigger. In an instant, it turned into a torrential rain, pouring down.

"It's raining! It's raining! Woohoo! It's finally raining!"

"Great! God bless! God bless!"

"Quick! Go get the water!"

……

The entire Qiao County was in chaos in an instant.

Everyone, even those civil servants and generals, were ecstatic, raised their heads and opened their mouths, gulping down the rainwater.

More people began to look for all the water storage tools they could find, and collected this hard-won rainwater for future use.

Taoist Yellow Turban stood on the high platform, only looking coldly at the crowd below.

After half an hour, the prefect of Qiao County hurriedly shouted: "Master, that's enough! Enough rain, any more rain will be a disaster!"

Only then did the Yellow Turban Taoist Shi Shiran take out the last token, threw it into the sky, and shouted: "Stop the rain!"

The torrential rain began to gradually decrease, and after a while, it stopped completely, and then the wind stopped and the clouds disappeared, and a ray of golden sunlight cast from the gap in the clouds, but it was no longer fierce and vicious as before.

"Thank you, Daoist! Daoist is really a god!"

The prefect of Qiao County stepped forward quickly, saluted respectfully, and asked his subordinates to bring a thousand taels of gold and silver, and said, "Master Dao, this is a little thank you gift from me. It is not a respect, so please accept it from me." Down."

Taoist priest Yun Danfeng waved his hand lightly, and refused: "Poverty Taoist is ordered by his master to travel all over the world, and he is supposed to save the world and help people. These money and silver prefects should be used to help the victims."

As soon as this remark came out, the surrounding people were even more grateful, looking at the Taoist as if looking at a god, full of fanaticism.

The prefect was also greatly shocked, and kept praising the Taoist Gao De, promising to provide disaster relief in the name of a Taoist, and asked the Taoist to accompany him back to the mansion to teach him the teachings of Taiping Tao.

Taoist Yellow Turban did not refuse this time, and went happily.

And just above their heads, Granny Feng, Xun Erlang, Tuiyun Boy, Buwu Langjun, and Xingyu Dragon King followed the Taoist's "rain stop", each received their magic weapons and scattered away.

Deng Zhong, Deng Tianjun, the righteous god of the Ministry of Lei, was about to leave with Lei Gong and Dian Mu, when he suddenly saw an auspicious cloud floating in the sky, looking up, it was a Taoist with a face like a full moon, eyes as round as pearls, and wearing a light yellow robe.

Deng Zhong was a little surprised: "Brother Li Dao, why did you come so early this time? Don't you usually come to the plague after a month?"

The round-faced Taoist explained: "The thirteenth of next month is Master Poor Dao's birthday. Our brothers and sisters will go to celebrate my master's birthday at that time, and we may not be able to spare time to go down to earth. So Poor Daoist thought about putting the The matter is solved, and it saves trouble."

"So that's how it is." Deng Zhong suddenly realized, but he was a little worried: "Brother Dao, the purpose of our invitation is to fight the plague next month. Is there something wrong with you one month in advance?"

The round-faced Taoist said nonchalantly: "What's wrong with this! It's nothing more than the death of some mortals on the left and right! The poor Taoist helps them enter reincarnation early, and also makes them suffer less mortal suffering!"

Deng Zhong could hear a bit of impatience in the round-faced Taoist's tone, so he didn't want to say anything more, so he exchanged a few more words of greeting, and took Lei Gong and Dian Mu back to the Heavenly Court.

The round-faced Taoist waited for him to walk away, and the corner of his mouth twitched, showing a bit of disdain: "After all, he is a casual cultivator with shallow feet. What kind of climate can't be achieved!"

The round-faced Taoist had a right hand, and a large purple banner appeared in the palm of his hand.

This banner is three feet long, the whole body is purple, and the top is inlaid with white bones and skulls. There are strange and mysterious patterns drawn on it, wisps of black mist emerge, just looking at it makes people feel an ominous feeling.

Swah——

The round-faced Taoist waved the purple flag lightly, and countless dark purple light spots that were imperceptible to the naked eye sprinkled from mid-air and penetrated into the rain-drenched mortal below.

All the people who came into contact with this light spot couldn't help but shuddered, their complexions began to turn pale, and their bodies were on fire, cold for a while, and hot for a while.

Ordinary people didn't pay much attention to it, they just thought that they were drenched by the rain and got a little cold, they didn't know that this was the harbinger of the plague.

The round-faced Taoist didn't stop, waving the purple flag while riding the clouds.

It wasn't until most of Yuzhou was sown that it stopped with satisfaction.

He was in no hurry to leave now.

Instead, it is condescending, as if admiring his own masterpiece.

Watching the already weak victims of the drought fall down in pieces under the erosion of the epidemic, they groaned in pain.

A smug smile appeared on his face.

"Southern Plague Messenger Li Qi!"

At this moment, a loud shout interrupted his thoughts.

Follow the reputation.

I saw the dense clouds above the head, and Yang Jian's silver armor and black cloak appeared, proudly and arrogantly.

"Yang Jian?!" Li Qi was taken aback, and pretended to be calm: "What are you doing here?"

"How dare you ask me what I'm doing here!"

Yang Jian said in a cold voice: "Li Qi, you spread the plague in the mortal world without authorization, causing countless deaths and injuries to the people in Yuzhou. You can see that this is a serious crime against the rules of heaven!"

Li Qi secretly screamed in his heart.

Although he has the will of the Jade Emperor, it is written that he will spread the plague in a month, not at this moment!
This is also a felony that violates the rules of heaven!

Li Qi shouted loudly: "Yang Jian, you don't want to spout blood! The poor Taoist came to Yuzhou to spread the plague at the order of the Jade Emperor, so why do you say it without authorization!"

Yang Jian stretched out his hand and said, "What about His Majesty's will? Let me have a look!"

Li Qi blurted out: "Why should the poor Daoist give it to you!"

After all, he regretted it. In front of Yang Jian, his words were tantamount to digging a hole for himself.

Sure enough, Yang Jian sneered and said, "Li Qi, I am the judicial god of heaven, and I have the right to supervise and supervise all departments of judicial law enforcement! Tell me, do I have the right to check your will!"

Li Qi said: "The imperial decree given by the Jade Emperor to the poor was left in the Ministry of Plague by the poor. If you want to see it, go to my master and ask for it!"

Yang Jian didn't like him, and said in a cold voice: "According to the rules of heaven, all the divisions in the heavenly court need to carry the imperial decree with them when they perform official duties, and act according to the decree. There must be no mistakes. If you don't bring the imperial decree, it is already a violation." Tiangui, follow me to the Judicial Heavenly Temple!"

Li Qi shouted sharply: "Yang Jian! You are deliberately troubling the poor Taoist! The poor Taoist is too lazy to talk to you! If you don't believe me, just go to the Jade Emperor and read my copy! When the time comes, you will naturally see the real chapter!"

Li Qi was not afraid that Yang Jian would bring this matter to the Jade Emperor.

He himself was named on the list of gods, and he is the envoy of the Southern Plague Department, the righteous god of the Plague Department.

Master Lu Yue is also a direct disciple of the master of Tongtian sect, the No.1 of Jiejiao sect (self-proclaimed), the head of the righteous gods of the plague department, Emperor Wenhuang Haotian.

Even the Jade Emperor would not be able to punish him because he moved the time of plague earlier, at most it would be a period of self-reflection behind closed doors.

What he was afraid of was that Yang Jian would arrest him in the Temple of Justice!
In that case, the entire Ministry of Plague will lose face!
Li Qi was anxious, turned around and was about to leave with the cloud.

However, just after flying less than half a meter, Yang Jian stopped him.

"Yang Jian, don't bully people too much!"

Li Qi was furious, and waved the flag in his hand towards Yang Jian, and the plague turned into purple dots all over the sky and flew towards Yang Jian.

He knew that Yang Jian was powerful, so he just wanted to force Yang Jian back and give himself a chance to escape.

However, Yang Jian didn't move, only a silver light burst out from the eyes of the sky on his forehead.

boom!
The purple light spots all over the sky evaporated directly, and the plague pox hidden inside were all turned into ashes.

Li Qi's complexion changed, and he was about to make another move, when his eyes suddenly blurred, and Yang Jian had already disappeared.

not good!

Li Qi knew something was wrong, so he hurriedly waved his angry flag behind him.

However, his judgment was wrong.

There was nothing behind him, and there was no sign of Yang Jian at all.

next second.

Li Qi felt that his hands were empty, and Yang Jian had already snatched his hair.

Immediately afterwards, a ray of silver light surrounded his body, shrinking inward suddenly.

Li Qi couldn't stand still and fell to the clouds.

Li Qi knew that he was no match for Yang Jian, but he didn't expect that he didn't even go through a round. He only felt that his face was lost, and he became angry from embarrassment: "Yang Jian! Let go..."

Before he finished speaking, Li Qi's voice stopped abruptly, but it was Yang Jian who thought he was noisy and directly blocked his five senses and six senses.

Yang Jian picked up the turmoil flag, studied it for a while, and suddenly knew it.

"Go!" Yang Jian threw the hairpin into the sky.

Whoosh!
The frantic banner turned into a purple light, and flew out along the route of Li Qi's plague just now.

Numerous dots of purple light shards floated out of the bodies of various creatures, and flew back into the frenetic streamer.

The plague was temporarily lifted.

However, Yang Jian didn't have much joy on his face, instead he frowned.

He was able to stop Li Qi because Li Qi made the decision without authorization and advanced the time of plague by one month, which violated the rules of heaven.

However, there are more similar natural disasters happening in Nanzhan Buzhou, but he is helpless!
These natural disasters are all approved by the Jade Emperor!

Those gods are also carrying out the will of the Jade Emperor!

This is also the reason why a mere mortal Taoist priest can get the help of gods and easily ask for heavy rain from the sky!

"What are they trying to do? They don't hesitate to make the whole Nanzhan Buzhou suffer!"

Yang Jian could feel that the suppressing power of the Jiuding formation had weakened a lot, which meant that the luck of the human race was declining!

The decline of a family's luck, especially the protagonists of the world like the human race, even if it is only a slight decline, it means that an extremely terrifying number of people will die!

One can imagine the cause and effect of this!

What's even more frightening is that behind this incident is not only the support of the Jade Emperor, but also the shadow of intercepting and even interpreting teaching!
