I am guarding the sky prison in Journey to the West

Chapter 169
Lingxiao Palace.

The Jade Emperor sits on the central throne.

All the civil and military immortals below were discussing and sullen.

After Day and Night Youshen was released by the Bull Demon King, he did not follow what the Bull Demon King said to pass on the message to Li Anran.

Instead, the troops are divided into two groups.

One went to Luojia Mountain in the South China Sea and reported the matter to Guanyin Bodhisattva.

One went back to the Heavenly Court to find Master Zhang and reported the matter to the Jade Emperor.

The Jade Emperor was furious, and immediately issued an order to summon all the civil and military officials and Li Anran involved in this matter to the Lingxiao Palace.

When all the immortals heard this, they were also outraged.

It’s different in the past.

Ever since Yang Jian became the god of justice, the Heavenly Court has become more and more powerful. It has been many years since there have been any disturbances by monsters from the lower world, not to mention that these monsters are so bold that they dare to threaten the Heavenly Court to release the criminals in the Heavenly Prison.

All of a sudden, all the immortals angrily reprimanded the Bull Demon King for his lawlessness, and asked the Jade Emperor to send troops to fight against it.

Those gods who know the inside story of learning from the Western Paradise and the background of the Bull Demon King's heel are no exception!
This matter belongs to the political correctness of the Three Realms!

No matter what they think in their hearts, they must show this attitude on the face.

Li Anran was also among them.

Because of Yang Jian, although he is the God of Prison, he does not have to attend court meetings on weekdays.

However, today's matter is related to him, and it can even be said to be caused by him, so the Jade Emperor specially sent an order to summon him to the Lingxiao Palace.

Hearing this at first, Li Anran was also taken aback.

During this period of time, he was practicing in seclusion and did not pay attention to the Buddhist scriptures from the Western Paradise and the Macaque King.

Never thought that the Bull Demon King would come up with such a trick!
And when he used the tracking function of the evil punishment book and saw some scattered pictures related to the macaque king, he almost didn't laugh out loud.

"This macaque king is too unlucky!"

Riyoushen didn't recognize these monster kings like Golden Winged Roc Eagle, and when he told the story to the immortals, he only said that the leader, the Bull Demon King, had summoned a large group of monsters and ghosts.

Li Anran recognized most of them at a glance.

Golden-winged roc eagle, yellow-toothed old elephant, hundred-eyed demon king, Sai Taisui...

It can be said that almost all the more powerful monsters in the second half of Journey to the West, except Jiuling Yuansheng and Huangmei King, were summoned together by the Bull Demon King!
"No wonder the macaque king couldn't even escape, he was captured alive and tied up!"

Li Anran wanted to laugh.

The macaque king wanted to replace the monkey to achieve a good result, but now it is a good thing, before he sees the benefits, he will save the monkey from disaster first!
And the cause of all this turned out to be that he locked Honghai'er in the sky prison, preventing Honghai'er from becoming Guanyin's benevolent boy like Yuan Shikong!

"This is what the Buddhists say. Drinking and pecking are all definite numbers? Interesting!"

Li Anran has been comprehending the way of cause and effect during this time, but the progress can only be regarded as mediocre.

At this time, he had realized something in his heart, faintly aware that there were causal lines winding around him, and they would continue to change with his every word, deed, and even a single thought.

This is actually the benefit of the catastrophe!

In normal times, with Li Anran's Taiyi Golden Immortal's cultivation base, no matter what, it would be impossible to touch the law of the Dao so easily.

"Prison God, what do you think?" Jade Emperor suddenly asked.

Li Anran came out of the train, and said loudly: "The rules of heaven and the rules of heaven are the cornerstone of the heavenly court's management of the three realms. How can you compromise and give in because of the threat of monsters?"

"If this precedent is set, other monsters will surely follow suit in the future. How will the Heavenly Court rule the Three Realms? How majestic are the laws of heaven?"

All the civil and military officials nodded in agreement: "What the Prison God said is absolutely true! You must not agree to the request of those monsters!"

Riyoushen suddenly became anxious.

He was secretly protected by Tathagata's decree. If something happened to Tang Seng, he would definitely be punished by Tathagata.

"Prisoner God, the Bull Demon King said that if the red boy is not sent over within a day, they will torture Sun Dasheng! Don't you just want to die..."

"shut up!"

Li Anran interrupted him directly, and said righteously: "Although Sun Wukong has a close relationship with me, it is related to the majesty of the law of heaven. How can I abolish the public for personal reasons? Don't say that the monsters just whipped and tortured Sun Wukong, they are the ones who raped Sun Wukong I'll pull Sun Wukong's tendons and drive him into the netherworld for ever, and I will never agree to this!"

Day Tour God: "..."

Jade Emperor: "..."

Wenwu Xianqing: "..." There is nothing wrong with what you said, but why does it sound so awkward?
Standing at the forefront of the line, Yang Jian caught a glimpse of the astonished expressions of the immortals out of the corner of his eye, and laughed in his heart: "Brother Li Anran may wish for the Bull Demon King to beat that fake Wukong to death!"

Yang Jian stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, what the Prisoner God said is reasonable. It is related to the majesty of the Heavenly Court, and we must never compromise for anyone or anything."

"My minister agrees."

"The little god seconded."

The rest of the gods also spoke in response.

The Jade Emperor himself thought so too, and immediately said: "Since all the lovers think so, then this matter is settled like this. Which god will go down to earth to subdue these monsters?"

As soon as these words came out, the Lingxiao Palace fell silent immediately.

It is one thing to denounce and reprimand, but it is another thing to go down to the earth to punish!
Even Sun Wukong, the Great Sage Equaling Heaven who made a big disturbance in the Heavenly Palace, fell into the hands of the Great Sage Pingtian Bull Demon King. How could they have the courage to descend to the earth to subdue demons?

Li Jing also shrank back into the class.

His greatest reliance in subduing demons and demons is Nezha!

However, Nezha can't even beat Monkey King, let alone the Bull Demon King who can catch Monkey King.

Li Anran also retreated back to his position calmly.

Seeing Yang Jian's frowning at the sight of all the immortals shrinking back and forth, as if he wanted to ask for Ying, he hurriedly gave Yang Jian a wink.

This is not just one Bull Demon King!

With so many big monsters gathered together, even Yang Jian might not be able to get any benefits!

If it fails, Yang Jian's prestige will be greatly reduced!
Those ghosts and monsters who have been suppressed by him all these years may come out!

Yang Jian noticed Li Anran's expression, hesitated for a moment, and didn't go forward again.

The Jade Emperor noticed the small movements of the two and was a little surprised.

He always thought that the relationship between Yang Jian and Li Anran was dominated by Yang Jian, and Li Anran was a subordinate similar to the Meishan brothers.

Never thought that Li Anran would change Yang Jian's decision with just one look.

The Jade Emperor waited for a while, but seeing that no one came forward, he could only call names by himself: "Li Jing, King of Tota, Third Prince Nezha!"

"Wei Chen is here."

Li Jing's body froze, but he could only reluctantly walk forward.

Nezha was rather happy.

The bull devil can even capture Sun Wukong alive, he must have real skills!

He has grown a lot in strength over the years, and he just happened to try his hand at the Bull Demon King!

The Jade Emperor noticed the different looks of the father and son, but he didn't see it, and immediately ordered Li Jing and Nezha to lead the four heavenly kings, 28 constellations, Jiuyaoxing officials, and 12 Yuanchen, etc., a total of 18 heavenly soldiers and generals, and distributed [-] Set up a network of heaven and earth to go to the lower realm to capture the Bull Demon King and other demons.

"The minister obeys the order."

Li Jing accepted the imperial decree with a bitter face, ordered all the soldiers and horses, and went to Xiniu Hezhou to kill them.

Yang Jian couldn't sit still.

He doesn't care about Li Jing's life or death, but he has to care about Nezha's safety.

"His Majesty."

Yang Jian stepped forward and said: "The Bull Demon King is known as the Great Sage of Pingtian, and his strength is far superior to that of Monkey King. The little god is worried that it will be difficult for Li Tianwang and the third prince Nezha to take him down. The little god dares to ask Your Majesty to move outside the West Heaven Gate." Looking at the reality, if there is a disharmony, you can also help them."

"Sure." The Jade Emperor immediately drove and led a group of civil and military officials to the west gate.

On the other side, Ye Youshen came to Luojia Mountain in the South China Sea and told the story of the Bull Demon King.

Guanyin was taken aback, and quickly asked about the details. After learning that there were golden-winged roc eagles, yellow-tusked old elephants, and Sai Taisui among the group of monsters, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief and felt relieved.

I also heard that the Bull Demon King threatened that if Li Anran didn't let Hong Boy go back within a day, he would torture the Macaque King.

Avalokitesvara is not angry but happy.

"That monkey's ferocity and wildness haven't gone away, so it's just time to use the hands of the Bull Demon King to study him, and it will save me trouble and energy in the future."

"However, the golden-winged roc has always been lawless, so this matter should not be delayed for too long. If the golden cicada is really eaten by him, it will be terrible!"

Guanyin pondered for a moment, and ordered Ye Youshen to go to Lingshan to report the matter to Tathagata, while he led Mu Zha to fly to Lishan.

Others don't know the origin of the Bull Demon King's heels, but Guanyin knows it all.

This bull demon king was originally Kui Niu under the seat of the leader of the Tongtian Church. After the leader of the Tongtian Church left the Three Realms, he first went to Lishan to practice with the Virgin of Wudang.

Later, for unknown reasons, he left Lishan Mountain and occupied a hilltop in Hezhou, Xiniu, and gradually gained the name of the Great Bull Demon King.

The reason why the Bull Demon King's body changed from black to white was because before Tongtian Cult Master left, he remembered that the Bull Demon King had been with him for many years, and he had worked hard without any credit, so he cast his great magic power and supernatural power to move his heels from the ground. Acquired transformed into congenital reasons.

And this is also the reason why the Bull Demon King can practice eighty-nine profound skills.

"Master Guanyin."

The old mother of Lishan, or the Holy Mother of Wudang, has long known that Guanyin will come, and has been waiting for a long time.

As soon as Avalokitesvara appeared, she went up to meet her and invited Avalokitesvara to the main hall.

"Fellow Daoist Wudang, I came here today because of the red boy..."

Avalokitesvara was worried that the golden-winged roc was going to mess around, so she didn't dare to delay too long, so she got straight to the point and talked about the red boy.

Chanjiao has been trying to reconcile with Jiejiao and let Jiejiao return to Taoism.

Lingshan is also making the same effort.

However, Lingshan doesn't want Jiejiao to stand on his side, but just wants Jiejiao to maintain the current position of not helping each other, and it is best to be completely independent from Xuanmen.

On this point, the interests of Jiejiao and Lingshan are the same, so the Virgin Mary and Lingshan are not very close.

Back then, the Holy Mother of Wudang, together with Avalokitesvara, Manjusri, and Samantabhadra, and the four sages tried their Zen mind, which was to express their attitude to Lingshan.

Lingshan also reciprocated, deliberately letting Lingyaxian, Qiushouxian, and Jin Guangxian, the Jiejiao disciples of the past, and now the Buddhist Mount Sect escape to the mortal world, allowing them to participate in the Western Paradise to learn scriptures.

— That is, the yellow-tusked old elephant, the green-haired lion monster, and the golden-haired roar.

When the Western Paradise study is over, if they are willing to return to Jiejiao, Lingshan will let them go.

If they are willing to convert to Buddhism, Lingshan will also give them a chance to get rid of their status as horses and achieve positive results.

The same goes for Red Boy and Bull Demon King.

Lingshan specially arranges the West Paradise Buddhist scriptures team to pass through Drill Hill and Cuiyun Mountain, so that Red Boy and Bull Demon King can participate in the non-life-threatening catastrophe of Western Paradise Buddhist Scripture.

Allowing them to use the power of calamity to improve their cultivation base and gain merit is also to give them a chance to convert to Buddhism and achieve positive results, it only depends on their own choice.

Of course, these things are not known to the Bull Demon King Honghaier themselves, but were arranged by the Holy Mother of Wudang after discussing with Lingshan.

Unexpectedly, Li Anran got in the way.

Hong Haier was not taken in by Guanyin as a boy of good fortune, but instead was imprisoned in the sky prison by Li Anran, from a boy of good fortune who had achieved righteous results to a prisoner.

Avalokitesvara was worried that Our Lady of Wudang would misunderstand, so she came here to explain the matter to her.

At the same time, it is also to explore the attitude of interception.

The news of the Enlightenment Tea Party has been spread throughout the Three Realms, and everyone knows that there is a disagreement between cutting off teachings and clarifying teachings, but no one knows exactly how far this disagreement goes.

This is very important to Lingshan.

When the Holy Mother of Wudang heard Guanyin mentioning the red boy, her face suddenly showed anger.

Not for Guanyin, but for Li Anran, Taiyi Tianzun, and Xuanmen!
The Holy Mother of Wudang said in a nonchalant tone: "Red Boy is still young and his mind is uncertain. Although he caused some misfortunes by mischief, it was an unintentional mistake. He was taught a lesson. Why did he go to the sky prison?"

Avalokitesvara nodded in agreement: "As the saying goes, if you know your mistakes, you can correct them, and there is nothing good about it. Although the Prison God enforces the law impartially, it is indeed a bit too much."

The Holy Mother of Wudang snorted coldly, and said: "What kind of impartial law enforcement! It's just because his master is Taiyi Daoist, he deliberately sells and invites his name!"

"The Prison God is a little reckless."

Avalokitesvara is very clear that what the Holy Mother of Wudang said is not necessarily what she thinks in her heart, but more to show her the position and attitude of cutting off the teaching.

He casually echoed a sentence, and then talked about the Bull Demon King: "The Bull Demon King didn't know what he was thinking, but he thought that the matter of the red boy was all because of Sun Wukong, who united with the golden-winged roc eagle, the yellow-toothed old elephant, and other monsters. Detain Jin Chanzi and his party in Cuiyun Mountain."

The Holy Mother of Wudang said: "Don't worry, Master Guanyin, Jin Chanzi has great merit and great luck, and he will surely turn bad luck into good luck, and make good luck when he dies."

Guanyin was completely relieved when he heard the words, and said: "The Bull Demon King also has a deep love for calves. Although he acts a little impulsively, there are reasons for it."

The two sides did not say it clearly, but everything has been said in silence.

Avalokitesvara didn't stay any longer, and immediately took her leave and flew to the heaven.

Knowing that the Jade Emperor led a group of civil and military immortals to watch the battle at Xitianmen, he hurried over.

I saw above the West Heaven Gate, a water mirror turned around, and inside it was the scene where Li Jing and his son led troops to conquer the Bull Demon King.

Just like when he conquered Huaguo Mountain back then, Li Jing didn't dare to go forward at all, so he sat in the middle of the army, and only let Nezha, the Four Heavenly Kings, 28 Xingxiu, and 12 Yuanchen lead the troops to fight.

Today's 28 Xingxiu and 12 Yuanchen are no longer the Jiejiao disciples on the list of gods, but the newly canonized gods of the Jade Emperor.

However, the one in front of him is no longer a mere Monkey King!

But the Bull Demon King, the Golden-winged Roc Eagle, the Yellow-toothed Elephant, the Hundred-eyed Demon King...

This large group of demon kings is not weaker than or even stronger than monkeys!
From the beginning of the war, it showed signs of being one-sided!

Nezha is much stronger than before, but the Bull Demon King is also much stronger than the original monkey. The two fight together, you come and go, and it is impossible to tell the winner in a short time.

And the other gods are simply vulnerable!
The golden-winged roc blocked the 28 stars by itself. Relying on its fast speed, it played with the 28 stars and injured seven of them in just a moment.

The Yellow-toothed Elephant and the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord teamed up to confront the Four Heavenly Kings.

The strength of the two sides is not at the same level at all.

The yellow-toothed old elephant took down the king of growth with just one roll of its trunk.

The other three heavenly kings wanted to come forward to save people, but they were held back by the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord alone.

Duowen Tianwang was careless, and was entangled with spider silk by the spider spirits who were ambushing secretly, and he was defeated in an instant.

It was only two quarters of an hour before and after.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the other two hurriedly retreated, and they escaped unharmed by luck.

Sai Taisui, Red Lotus Demon King, and Shura Ghost King all found an opponent.

Except for True Immortal Ruyi who lost a little bit of the wind, the others either gained the upper hand or easily defeated their opponents.

Li Jing's face turned pale with shock, and he called out Jinshou immediately, leading an army of [-] to retreat a hundred miles before he dared to stop.

The Jade Emperor knew that it would be difficult for Li Jing to win, but he didn't expect to lose so quickly. He couldn't hold back his face and asked, "Who is willing to go down to earth to help Li Tianwang?"

Yang Jian was about to ask for orders when he heard Guanyin say: "Your Majesty, this matter started because of the Prison God, and it should end because of the Prison God. If Your Majesty doesn't let the Prison God lead the troops, you will be able to subdue the demons." Subduing demons, the merits and virtues are complete."
