I am guarding the sky prison in Journey to the West

Chapter 142 Humanity and Heaven

Li Anran took the invitation and took a look.

It said that Emperor Qinghua of the Eastern Pole would hold an immortal tea conference in the Golden Light Cave of Qianyuan Mountain in one month, and invited him to taste tea and discuss Taoism.

"You actually invited me... is it because of Nezha?" Li Anran was a little surprised.

He had heard about this Immortal Tea Conference from Nezha. It can be said to be one of the highest-level events in Taoism, held every thousand years.

The immortal tea tasted is the enlightened tea tree in the innate spiritual root.

Although this Dao Enlightenment tea tree is not as good as the Ten Great Spiritual Roots of Xiantian, it is also a rare treasure in the world, which can make people explore the illusion and look directly at the Dao.

Even for Da Luo Jinxian, it will be of great benefit!
The degree of preciousness is even higher than that of flat peaches!

And because this Enlightenment tea matures every thousand years, only nine taels of tea can be harvested each time.

Among the Three Realms, there are only a handful of people who are eligible to participate in the Xianming Conference, which is a symbol of status.

Li Anran angered the Jade Emperor because of Yao Ji's incident, so he failed to attend the Peach Fair.

Nezha said that he would help Li Anran obtain a qualification from Taiyi Daoist to participate in the Immortal Tea Conference.

However, this matter is of great importance, and Taiyi Master needs to nod and agree. Nezha didn't dare to guarantee that it can be done, but only said that he would do his best.

Unexpectedly, today he actually received an invitation from Master Taiyi.

"I already know about this. Let's go back first."

Li Anran put away the invitation, locked Honghai'er in the dungeon, and flew directly to Yunlou Palace.

Yunlou Palace is Li Jing's residence, and Nezha also lives here.

However, Nezha and Li Jing have always been wary of each other. One of them lives in the main hall of Yunlou Palace, and the other lives in the side hall farthest from the main hall.

Unless it is going up to court or down to earth to catch monsters, they never meet each other on weekdays.

When Li Anran arrived outside the gate of Nezha's hall, Nezha was meditating and practicing in the hall. When he heard the report from the heavenly soldiers, he immediately got up and greeted him, saying, "A rare visitor! You are a very busy prisoner, why don't you have time to come to me today?" Is this Yunluo Palace?"

"You are the villain who sued first, and beat him up!"

Li Anran smiled and said: "Although I haven't seen you many times these years, it's definitely quite a lot. But you, what are you busy with these days? You haven't seen me for a drink for a while!"

Nezha said: "If I don't practice quickly, I will be overtaken by you! I don't even want to drink!"

As he spoke, Nezha led Li Anran into the hall and sat down.

Li Anran told Nezha about Taiyi Zhenren's invitation to participate in the Fairy Tea Conference, and expressed his gratitude to Nezha.

Unexpectedly, Nezha looked surprised: "Master invited you to attend the Fairy Tea Conference?! This matter has nothing to do with me, I haven't had time to tell Master yet!"

Nezha's ears were slightly red, it's not that he didn't have time to tell Master Taiyi, but he forgot about it.

At this time, when I heard Li Anran mention it, and solemnly expressed my feelings to him, I felt a little ashamed.

"It's not you?" Li Anran was taken aback, and secretly murmured in his heart: "Could it be Yang Jian?"

Nezha was also very curious about why Daoist Taiyi invited Li Anran, and asked, "Li Anran, did you do anything during this time?"

Li Anran recalled it for a while, and suddenly thought of the fake Tongtian who was imprisoned by him.

This fake Tongtian is the whetstone that Taishang Laojun found for the Eight Immortals of Shangdong. Now that the whetstone has been taken away by him, it is time for Taishang Laojun to come to him.

And Taishang Laojun is also qualified to ask for this invitation for him.

"Remember?" Nezha asked.

Li Anran nodded: "I have a clue."

Nezha wanted to ask again, but Li Anran had already stood up and said goodbye: "Brother Nezha, I still have something to do here, so I'm leaving!"

Most of the upper gods and Buddhas of the Three Realms know that learning scriptures from the Western Paradise is a matter of gambling in the Lingshan of Xuanmen.

However, there are very few people in the Three Realms who know about the Eight Immortals on the Cave, especially the False Tongtian!
He couldn't explain his source of news, so he could only prevaricate and delay.

After leaving the Yunlou Palace, Li Anran flew directly to the Judicial Heavenly Temple.

The one who has the ability, qualifications and reasons to ask him for this invitation, except for the Supreme Lord, is Yang Jian.

As long as one can be ruled out, the answer must be the other.

The Temple of Judiciary is suspended alone in the void, and the sun seems to avoid it. Even if the sun is above the head, it still has a chilling feeling.

Not long after the Immortal Examination once every sixty years has passed, the Judicial Heavenly Temple is much deserted than before.

However, Yang Jian's work is still busy.

All kinds of things in the Three Realms will eventually be gathered in the Judicial Temple, or he will handle it himself, or play it to the Jade Emperor.

For hundreds of years, Yang Jian was almost trapped between the Temple of Judiciary and the Palace of Lingxiao by these things, two points and one line, busy day and night, unable to get away.

When Li Anran and Yang Jian mentioned the Fairy Tea Conference.

Yang Jian was stunned for a moment before he remembered such an incident. He rummaged through the desk for a while, and soon found an invitation card for the Fairy Tea Conference.

Yang Jian's status is extraordinary, so he is naturally qualified to participate in the Fairy Tea Conference.

When boy Jinxia sent the invitation, he was busy with a case where the gods robbed the fairy cave, so he casually put the invitation aside.

Afterwards, one thing after another, he was too busy to do his best, so he forgot about it.

If Li Anran hadn't reminded him, he probably wouldn't have remembered that the Fairy Tea Conference was over.

However, even now, Yang Jian can't find time to go to the banquet.

"Brother Li, if you want to go to the Xianming Conference, then... eh?"

Before Yang Jian finished speaking, Li Anran took out an identical invitation card.

"Uncle Taiyi also invited you?" Yang Jian showed a bit of surprise and doubt.

Although Li Anran is the Prison God and Guansuo Xingjun, but whether it is status or cultivation, it is not enough to stand in front of Taiyi Daoist, and he is not qualified to participate in the Fairy Tea Conference!
"This matter may have something to do with Taishang Laojun."

Yang Jian knew the special features of Li Anran's magic weapon (system), so Li Anran didn't have too many scruples about him, and said directly: "Second brother, when I was protecting the dharma for the reincarnated body of Emperor Donghua in Dongsheng Shenzhou, once I met an evil dragon..."

False Tongtian's life is related to Zhu Xianzhen, Li Anran was worried about what happened, even Yang Jian didn't tell him before.

At this time, he had already learned the Jade Immortal Formation, and the fake Tongtian was of no use to him.

Li Anran directly told the story of his encounter with Chunying and Fake Tongtian.

Including false Tongtian's origin, his origin with Taishang Laojun Tathagata, and his own guesses about the Eight Immortals of Shangdong.

Yang Jian was dumbfounded.

He never expected that Li Anran would encounter so many things after just taking a trip to Dongsheng Shenzhou, and even got involved with the saint.

"Brother Li seems to be the one who should be culled in this catastrophe!"

Yang Jian thought of all the things that Li Anran encountered after he went to heaven, and his heart became more determined and worried.

The catastrophe is approaching, and it is difficult for all living beings to escape!

However, there is still a big difference between the person who should be calamity and the ordinary creature in the calamity!

There are only two endings for those who respond to the calamity: ascending to the sky in one step and never recovering!

Ordinary creatures can wander between the two. With luck, it is not impossible to escape safely!

Yang Jian knew that he was the one who should be robbed.

In other words, in order to modify the rules of heaven, he took the initiative to enter the robbery and became the person who should be robbed.

This is how to arrange all kinds of backhands, including but not limited to forming a good relationship with Li Anran, in order to let the Three Holy Mothers be carefree and at ease after her accident.

He never thought that Li Anran, who he valued the most, is the same as him, the one who should be robbed!
Yang Jian didn't even know if this was the entanglement between Ying Jie's human beings and the sympathy for each other, or whether he should praise his good vision.

After Li Anran finished talking about the fake Tongtian, he told Yang Jian all about the monkey going to heaven to ask him to descend to the earth to cast down demons, and to capture Honghaier, the son of the Bull Demon King, back to the heaven.

In this matter, Yang Jian's attitude is much calmer.

A mere Pingtian Great Sage Bull Demon King, no matter how deep his relationship with Jiejiao is, it's nothing!
Red Boy violated the rules of heaven and earth, so if he is caught, he will be arrested. If he, the Bull Demon King, has any objections, then he will be arrested together!

It's not a big deal either!

Yang Jian asked, "Brother Li, what are you going to do?"

Li Anran said: "What else can I do! Arms can't hold back thighs. The matter of learning scriptures from the west and the Eight Immortals in the Cave were all negotiated and decided by the gods and Buddhas of the Three Realms. No matter what they want to do, I will push it to the Jade Emperor. If I do it, I will do it, if the Jade Emperor does not let me do it, I will not do it!"

Li Anran's attitude is very clear.

When the sky falls, there is a tall one to hold it up!

He is a courtier of the Heavenly Court, so he will push everything to the Jade Emperor. If he can mess around, he can mess around, and if he can't, he can leave. Anyway, if he doesn't make mistakes, he will not take responsibility and take the blame!

Yang Jian was not surprised by Li Anran's attitude, but he was not optimistic at all.

During the catastrophe, ordinary creatures may be able to stay out of it if they want to stay out of it, but it would be a bit naive for a person who is responding to the catastrophe to want to stay out of it!

When karmic calamity gathers on you, many things cannot be avoided even if you want to!

That's how it was at the beginning!
Yang Jian was very frank with Li Anran, and directly told Li Anran his thoughts.

Li Anran doesn't think so.

"Second brother, the calamity in the past was unavoidable, because the calamity was the creation of the heaven and the earth, ruthless and desireless, and treated all beings equally."

"It's different now! Today's catastrophe is all artificially designed and detonated in advance. If someone participates, then it will definitely not be ruthless and desireless, and it must be inseparable from the word benefit."

"I just need to let them know that provoking me is not worth the loss, even a blood loss. Naturally, they won't drag me into the catastrophe."

Yang Jian was startled, showing a thoughtful expression.

He used to look at things from the perspective of doom and karma, but never thought of starting from humanity and interests.

At this time, I suddenly realized that today's catastrophe is different from what I encountered before!
It is no longer just the way of heaven that dominates all this, but also the way of humanity!
The weight of human hearts, human nature, and human desires is more important than ever before!
Human heart, human nature, human desire...humanity...

The weight of humanity is increasing!

There seemed to be a thunderbolt flashing in Yang Jian's head, and a thought popped up suddenly.

In the catastrophe of the Conferred Gods, the saints knew the calamity in advance, planned in advance, and calculated each other. Could it be that humanity is at work?
Also, the Lich Havoc earlier!

Although his master Master Yuding didn't say it clearly, judging from the information he occasionally revealed.

The conflict between the Wu clan and the Wu clan will get deeper and deeper, until a great war that almost destroys the world breaks out.

There are Taoism behind the scenes, especially the shadow of the Second Saint of the West!
Isn't this human nature interfering with the operation of heaven?

Humanity is growing!
Heaven is declining!

Yang Jian came to a conclusion.

And the beginning of it all...

It was the time when Taoist Hongjun was preaching in Zixiao Palace!

Yang Jian's pupils shrank suddenly, and there was a feeling of jumping in the heart and numbness of the scalp.

That's right, it was the time when Hongjun Daozu's preaching awakened the Six Sages, the Three Thousand Powers, and even all living beings in the Three Realms, and realized the existence of the Dao of Heaven!
From then on, all living beings in the three realms will consider karma, karma, luck and doom!

Also since then, what they have done can be said to be humane interference with the operation of heaven!
Complying with the destiny is the way of humanity interfering with the operation of the way of heaven!
To act against the heavens is to interfere with the operation of the heavens!

It's just that the degree of interference between the two sides is different!

But now, humanity is no longer interfering with the way of heaven, but trying to control the way of heaven!
Yang Jian suddenly thought of a possibility.

Could it be that the protagonist of this catastrophe is not Xuanmen Buddhism at all, nor is it the Heavenly Court Spirit Mountain, but the struggle between the humane and the heavenly?
Yang Jian's breathing was stagnant.

The extreme terror made him tremble all over.

If his guess is true, then what the gods and Buddhas of the Three Realms are doing now is not at all eliminating karma to resolve calamity, but on the way to the eruption of catastrophe!
The Lich War hit the Tianzhu Buzhou Mountain and almost destroyed the entire Primordial Continent.

The dispute over interpretation broke the prehistoric world into four major continents, almost repeating the earth, water, fire and wind.

What will happen to the struggle between humanity and heaven?
Yang Jian couldn't imagine it.

But he knew that it would be a scene countless times more terrifying and tragic than the catastrophe of the lich and the catastrophe of the gods!

"Second brother? Second brother?"

Li Anran yelled several times before Yang Jian came back to his senses.

"What's the matter with you?" Li Anran noticed that Yang Jian's face was pale and his forehead was dripping with cold sweat, and he was a little dazed.

Yang Jian is a monk in the realm of Daluo, with three flowers gathered on the top and five qi in the sky, how could he show such a weak and panicked look?
It can't be scary, right?

Li Anran amused himself as soon as this idea came up.

Is there anyone in the Three Realms who can scare the judicial god Yang Jian into such a state?
Even if it is a saint in this world, it is estimated that it will be difficult!

"It's nothing."

Yang Jian forced a smile, but did not tell Li Anran his guess.

Firstly, his conjecture was too unimaginable and appalling, and without any evidence, it seemed like he was hysterical for a while.

Second, he didn't think about it himself.

He wants to wait for himself to think more clearly, it is best to find some evidence, and then tell Li Anran, Taiyi Tianzun and the others about this matter.

Yang Jian took a deep breath, stabilized his mind, and said, "Brother Li, just do what you say. As long as you insist that you are acting in accordance with the rules of heaven, you don't know the rest, so you don't have to worry about anyone. It's up to me to take care of it."
