I am guarding the sky prison in Journey to the West

Chapter 184

"Brother, you said that we have made such a great contribution this time, how will the Jade Emperor reward us? It won't be like before, only rewarding things like gold and pearls, right?"

"Probably not. This time is different from the past. The Bull Demon King summoned so many monsters and made such a big commotion. This credit is beyond heaven! If he doesn't give a big reward, who will work for the heaven in the future? ?”

"Yes, if it wasn't for the second master and brother Li, I don't know how long this matter will drag on. I think, the Jade Emperor will have to raise our immortal rank this time!"

"What are you thinking so much about! Even if we are just heavenly soldiers, who in the Three Realms would dare to disrespect us?"

"Hahahaha, yes."

Outside the Lingxiao Palace, in the Xuande Palace.

The Meishan brothers were talking and laughing happily, waiting for the Jade Emperor's reward, when they saw Yang Jian walking out in white clothes.

Everyone was stunned.

In order to maintain the majesty of the judicial god, Yang Jian always wore a black robe of the judicial god in front of people. It had been a long time since they had seen such a casual dress.

What's happening here?
The Meishan brothers looked at each other, and they could see the confusion on each other's faces. They immediately put away their smiles and greeted them: "Second Lord."

Yang Jian nodded slightly, and ordered: "Boss, you immediately go to the Temple of Judiciary and gather all our people to come to Dongtianmen. We will go back to Guanjiangkou."

"Return to the Jiangkou?" Everyone looked confused.

Since Yang Jian became the judicial god, he spent most of his time in the four heavenly temples in the heavenly court.

Occasionally, when I have free time, I will only go to Huashan Sanshengmu Palace to see Sanshengmu and Yaoji. It has been a long time since I have been to Guanjiangkou.

Boss Kang couldn't help asking: "Second Master, what happened? Are you in such a hurry to go back to Guan Jiangkou?"

Yang Jian said: "I was removed from the post of judicial deity by the Jade Emperor, and I was demoted back to Guanjiangkou to continue as a local immortal."

What Yang Jian said was calm and breezy, as simple as drinking a sip of water.

Brother Meishan's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief.

Li Lao Si was in a hurry: "Second Lord, we just descended to the earth and wiped out those monsters in Cuiyun Mountain. The Jade Emperor dismissed Second Master from his position regardless of meritorious deeds? This...what is the reason?!"

Lao Liu nodded again and again, and echoed: "That's right! I haven't heard of being dismissed after making great contributions! This is too ridiculous! Even if you kill a donkey, you don't kill like this!"

The rest of the Meishan brothers were also full of indignation and shouted.

"Is the Jade Emperor confused? Second Master, let's go to him for an explanation!"

"Yes! Ask him for an explanation!"

"All right."

Yang Jian stopped the crowd and said in a deep voice, "Go back to Guanjiangkou first."

"……Yes."

The Meishan brothers were full of unwillingness, but seeing that Yang Jian's attitude was unquestionable, they had no choice but to suppress these emotions.

Boss Kang immediately went to the Temple of Judiciary to summon the God of Grass Head, and the rest followed Yang Jian to the East Heaven Gate first.

"Second brother, wait for me!"

Nezha chased him out from the Lingxiao Palace.

Yang Jian: "..." After so many years, there is still no change.

A look of helplessness flashed in Yang Jian's eyes, he stopped the cloud head, twirled a silence spell with his right hand, and a ripple swept across, cutting off the surrounding sounds.

Sure enough, before Nezha arrived in front of Yang Jian, he angrily fought for him.

"Second brother, Haotian is too stupid! If he can't solve the problem, he will solve the person who raised the problem!"

Nezha's voice was very loud, he was almost cursing at the top of his voice, without any hesitation to hold back.

If he hadn't twirled a silence spell in advance, these words would probably have directly spread into the Lingxiao Palace.

He has already fallen out with the Jade Emperor, so he is not afraid of anything, but if Nezha still stays in the heavenly court, there may be many troubles.

Nezha also noticed the existence of the Silencing Curse, and spoke even more recklessly: "Second brother, Haotian didn't dare to offend Lingshan and Randeng, so he dismissed you from your post. Could it be that we are easy to bully! Let's go do it now! Yuan Shan went to my master and asked him to seek justice for us!"

Nezha grabbed Yang Jian's arm and was about to fly to the Golden Light Cave in Qianyuan Mountain.

"Brother Nezha, you don't need to trouble Uncle Taiyi."

Yang Jian stopped Nezha and said, "I've already figured it out. Instead of being a judicial god who is restrained everywhere, it's better to return to Guanjiangkou to be a local fairy and be at ease, which is more in my heart."

Nezha was startled, and blurted out, "Second brother, don't you want to..."

Nezha originally wanted to say, "Don't you want to modify the rules of the sky?", but suddenly noticed the restraining intent in Yang Jian's eyes, and quickly changed his words: "Just live like this for the rest of your life?"

There was some doubt in my heart: "Didn't the second brother already use the silencing spell, outsiders can't hear us at all, why are you still so cautious?"

Yang Jian said lightly: "Why not? Sitting in the Yellow Court and watching Yun Juan Yun Shu, having a few friends to cook wine and discuss the Tao, isn't it better than being trapped in this Heavenly Court?"

"Second Master."

At this time, the Meishan brothers probably guessed what happened in the Lingxiao Palace, and they had different expressions.

Some resented the Jade Emperor: "We have done so many things for the heaven, and the Jade Emperor dismissed the second master's judicial god just because of this. It is really heartless and ungrateful!"

Someone responded to Yang Jian with relief: "It's fine to go back to Guanjiangkou, but the heaven is deserted, there are many rules, and there is no human touch. It's better to live comfortably in Guanjiangkou."

However, there were also those who frowned and hesitated to speak.

Li Laosi hesitated for a moment, and couldn't help but said: "Second Lord, these three realms are the three realms of the Jade Emperor, he doesn't care about the rules of heaven, if he wants to spare those three monsters, why should you worry about him? "

The sixth child also nodded: "That's right, Second Master. The Jade Emperor has the power to pardon prisoners. We should do what we have to do. As for the rest, what does it have to do with us?"

Nezha heard it, and suddenly understood why Yang Jian stopped him.

After so many years, the Meishan brothers are no longer what they used to be... No!
Nezha quickly denied his idea.

Perhaps they were like this in the first place, but they were not exposed to such great authority back then.

Yang Jian has been with the Meishan brothers for a longer period of time, and he sees them far more clearly than Nezha.

He was indeed wary of the Meishan brothers, but not as Nezha thought, because he was worried that the Meishan brothers would betray him.

It's just that the concept of each other is too different.

He was worried that the Meishan Brothers would do things that he could not accept because of "for his own good".

At that time, I am afraid it will be difficult for this brother to continue!

Yang Jian glanced at the Meishan brothers in front of him, and he was noncommittal to their words, only thinking in his heart: "It's time too."

When several people were talking, they had already arrived outside the East Heaven Gate.

Soon, Boss Kang flew over with a group of grass-headed gods.

Seeing such a big battle, the heavenly king Chiguo hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "God of justice, but there are monsters making trouble in the lower realm?"

"It has nothing to do with monsters." Yang Jian said: "Yang Jian came from Guanjiangkou, and now he is no longer a judicial god, so he should go back to Guanjiangkou."

"what?!"

The Heavenly King Chiguo was taken aback, and was about to ask a few more questions, when Yang Jian took Nezha, the Meishan brothers, and a group of grass-headed gods to Dongsheng Shenzhou Guanjiangkou.

Guanjiangkou has not returned to Guanjiangkou for hundreds of years, and Guanjiangkou is much more prosperous than it was then.

On the street, people come and go, shoulder to shoulder, all kinds of peddlers and shopkeepers, and the sound of hawking can be heard endlessly.

Although the mortals are dressed in simple clothes, there are many smiles on their faces, obviously living a prosperous and healthy life.

The monks mingled among them, and they also restrained their breath. They looked no different from mortals, only occasionally using some skills of flying clouds and riding cranes, which caused mortals to exclaim.

Yang Jian has served as the god of justice for hundreds of years, and his power has shaken the three worlds. Guanjiangkou, as his former fiefdom, naturally has good weather and no evil spirits. It is difficult to think about prosperity.

Erlang Zhenjun's Mansion is located directly behind the Zhenjun Temple in Guanjiangkou, and it is still the same as before, without any change.

"Grandpa Erlang."

As soon as Yang Jian and the others descended from the clouds, the butler led the servants to greet them and bowed their heads in salute.

Yang Jian ordered: "Prepare some food and wine for me."

"Yes." The butler hurriedly responded.

In just a moment, he directed the servants to set up a table of wine and food in the yard according to Yang Jian's instructions.

"Second Master."

Boss Kang also heard about Yang Jian from the Meishan brothers, and said with a smile, "It's really comfortable to go back to Guanjiangkou! I used to hate the noise outside, but now I hear it in my ears." It's very kind, much better than the deserted Judicial Temple!"

"Of course!" Zhang Lao Er said, "There are so many rules and regulations in the Heavenly Court, how can it be comfortable to go back to my own home? I have long wanted to come back!"

Nezha didn't speak, but just watched silently from the sidelines.

Boss Kang has a bold temperament, values ​​justice over profit, and doesn't care where he goes, as long as he can be with his brothers.

Zhang Lao Er has a free-spirited temperament and a bohemian. He really doesn't like heaven, and prefers to stay in the mortal world and be carefree.

Yao Laosan and Guo Laowu, one valued appetite, and the other was obsessed with martial arts, it didn't matter whether they stayed in Tianting or Guanjiangkou.

Only Li Lao Si and Zhi Lao Liu smiled a little reluctantly, obviously reluctant to part with the prestige and power in the heaven.

Yang Jian also saw all this in his eyes, and asked: "Boss, brothers, have you been with me for more than [-] years?"

Boss Kang said: "It's been three thousand and seventy-nine years. Our brothers accidentally offended a tiger monster and were chased and killed by him all the way. It was Er Ye who saved us and taught us the method of cultivation."

Second Zhang followed up and said, "Yes. I was also taken off by that tiger demon. It was the second master who helped me put it back. Otherwise, I could only be a one-armed cripple."

Yao Laosan and Guo Laowu also recalled Yang Jian's kindness to them back then.

Li Lao Si was a little puzzled and asked, "Second Master, why did you suddenly ask this?"

Yang Jian didn't answer, but said with emotion: "Three thousand and seventy-three years, time flies so fast. After all these years, have you ever thought about what you want to do?"

"Ah?!" The Meishan brothers were all taken aback, looking at each other in blank dismay. They didn't expect Yang Jian to suddenly mention this.

"Boss Kang, you go first." Yang Jian took the initiative to call the names.

Boss Kang scratched his head, a little embarrassed: "Second Master, I really haven't thought about it. I just think it's good for us brothers to be together. Others are not important."

Yang Jian nodded and looked at Zhang Lao Er: "Second Brother, what about you?"

"I……"

Zhang Lao Er hesitated for a moment, and said: "I have been too busy in the Heavenly Court these years. If I can, I want to go around and see different things in the Three Realms."

Yang Jian nodded, then looked at the other four people.

Yao Laosan did as expected: "I don't have any big ambitions, as long as I can eat and drink well."

When it came to Li Laosi, he got stuck.

Li Laosi was the smartest and most thoughtful among the Meishan brothers, and he had already sensed Yang Jian's intention in asking this question.

He was torn between telling the truth, or lying for the sake of brotherhood.

In the end, Li Lao Si couldn't bear to miss this opportunity, gritted his teeth, and said, "I think it's good to be in Heaven..."

"Fourth brother!" Boss Kang stared at him and interrupted Old Four Li's words, a little annoyed.

Although it is not stated clearly, the meaning of blame is very obvious: Erye has just been deposed by the Jade Emperor from his position as a judicial god and demoted to the mortal world, what do you mean by that?
"Brother." Li Lao Si defended with an aggrieved face: "Second Master told us to tell the truth, I can't lie to Second Master, right?"

"You!" Boss Kang was about to say something, but Yang Jian stopped him: "Boss! I want to hear the truth from my brothers! Fourth brother, go ahead."

"Second Master, I'm really not greedy for power!"

Li Laosi said: "I just think that we use the power in our hands to punish those evil spirits and demons who do evil, reward those gods who are dedicated to their public duties, and improve the Three Realms little by little. It is very fulfilling and very happy."

Zhi Lao Liu hesitated for a moment, and followed weakly: "I think what the fourth brother said makes sense. I am also like this..."

"Old Six!" Elder Kang glared at him, while Elder Zhang frowned.

Nezha's gaze immediately turned cold.

He and the Meishan brothers are friendly because of Yang Jian, and naturally he will be hostile to them because of Yang Jian.

But Yang Jian nodded and agreed: "Indeed. This is very fulfilling. Fifth, what about you? What do you want to do?"

Guo Shen originally wanted to say that he was not bad when he was in Tianting, but he was preempted by Zhijian, and he saw Boss Kang's face was angry. Rao, he didn't have a bright mind, so he didn't dare to say this again, so he just said in a low voice: "Yes , If there is a fight, it will do."

After Yang Jian listened, he didn't say much, but changed the topic, as if nothing happened just now.

The six Meishan brothers didn't have such a heart, each of them could only express their thoughts on their faces, and the table full of wine and food was like chewing wax.

At this moment, a golden light fell from the sky.

"Li Anran!" Nezha's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help complaining, "Why are you here now!"

Before Li Anran opened his mouth, Yang Jian had already explained for Li Anran: "Brother Nezha, you know that everyone is as impulsive and willful as you! If Brother Li Anran left halfway like you, how would we know that after I left, there would be another one?" what happened?"

He turned to Boss Kang and said: "Boss Kang, you have worked hard these days, go and rest first. I have something to discuss with Brother Li Anran."

Yang Jian's attitude is frank, and he has no lies to deceive, but this attitude is obviously avoiding their brothers.

Boss Kang was in a complicated mood, but when he thought of what his brother said just now, he had nothing to say, so he could only stare at Li Laosi and Zhi Lao Liu angrily: "What are you still doing in a daze? Let's go to rest!"

Li Anran has practiced the Acacia Kungfu and is very sensitive to emotions.

Although he didn't know what happened here, he could guess at a glance.

After the Meishan brothers left, Nezha couldn't bear it any longer and asked, "Second brother, you just asked them what they want to do, are you planning to pave the way for them in advance?"

Yang Jian nodded and admitted.

Nezha pursed his lips and said, "Second brother, you are too kind to them!"

Li Anran's heart moved, but what he thought of was another thing.

At the beginning, Yang Jian had the idea of ​​modifying the Heavenly Court, but it was just to leave a way for the San Shengmu, and he was not worried about the safety of the Meishan brothers.

This time, even the Meishan brothers' back road had to be paved ahead of time!
What kind of irreversible thought did he have?
