I am guarding the sky prison in Journey to the West

Chapter 216

"The matter of the Eight Immortals in the Upper Cave is related to the catastrophe of the world. It is inconvenient for me to take action, so you go over there. Discuss with Lu Dongbin and the others, and rescue Nezha as soon as possible."

Taiyi Tianzun flicked Fuchen to his left hand, a golden light flashed, and a crystal clear glass vial appeared in his palm, wide at the bottom and narrow at the top, the size of a palm, with patterns of sun, moon and stars on it.

"This bottle contains the Sanguang Shenshui that I have collected over the years. It can heal wounds and detoxify. If you take it, you may have a chance to use it."

"Disciple obeys." Li Anran took the glass bottle, and couldn't help muttering inwardly.

When the monks and apprentices of the Tang Dynasty went to the west to learn scriptures, the Madonna of Wudang, Tianzun Taiyi, Laojun Taishang, and Tathagata all appeared in the world.

Taiyi Tianzun's reason for being inconvenient to make a move is obviously not valid!
It is more likely that Taiyi Tianzun wants him to participate in the Eight Immortals and gain some merit from it.

As for Nezha...

It should be an unexpected emergency.

It is true that Taiyi Tianzun is worried, but it is also true that he will not make a move.

This sounds contradictory, but it is in the logic of Taiyi Tianzun.

Calamity, even if it is artificially caused, is dangerous, but the danger is far less than normal calamity.

If Nezha falls in this catastrophe, it is also Nezha's fate. He will regret and feel distressed, but he will not go against the sky.

This is a matter of principle.

Of course, this is also because Nezha's weight is not heavy enough!

If the matter is related to Yang Jian or Li Anran who is now holding the Four Swords of Zhuxian, the principles of Taiyi Tianzun will also be lowered accordingly.

Taiyi Tianzun said again: "I have already told Yang Jian about this matter, he has already passed away first. After you go, no matter what happens, you must not use the Four Swords of Zhuxian, do you understand?"

Hearing that Yang Jian had also gone, Li Anran was even more sure that Taiyi Tianzun wanted him and Yang Jian to survive the calamity and gain some merit, and replied respectfully: "Disciple understands."

Taiyi Tianzun waved his hand: "Go ahead."

Li Anran was worried about Nezha, so he didn't say anything more, and immediately resigned and left, using the technique of turning the rainbow, but in a short while, he arrived at the Eight Immortals that Taiyi Tianzun said...

To be precise, it is above the residence of the Six Immortals.

The Taishang Laojun wanted to bring all the Eight Immortals of Shangdong into his sect and strengthen the power of the human religion. The eight immortals he chose were either his disciples or the reincarnation of the mighty.

As a result, there are very few candidates for the Eight Immortals who meet his requirements.

Every time one is selected, it takes a lot of energy to plan and plan.

Just like Zhang Guolao's previous life white bat.

After Taishang Laojun took a fancy to him, he sent a message to Taiyi Tianzun, asking Li Anran to use the white bat's sons and grandsons as a disaster, and beat the white bat, forcing him into a desperate situation.

Then, the Taishang Laojun appeared again, sang a red face to save the white bat, and kindly pointed out a clear way for him——

Reincarnated and rebuilt, he became the Eight Immortals of Shangdong.

For the rest, the origins of Xiangu He, Lan Caihe, Han Xiangzi, and Uncle Cao are all pretty similar.

First let them fall into a desperate situation, and then reappear to point out the way for them, and use the word "number of days" to persuade them to reincarnate and rebuild to become one of the Eight Immortals.

Lu Dongbin's previous life, Emperor Donghua, actually had the same process.

Li Anran didn't realize this at the beginning.

Until one time when drinking with Yang Jian, I talked about it.

Yang Jian pointed out that most of the people who forced Emperor Donghua to prove his innocence were the Taishang Laojun's disciples, and Li Anran suddenly realized that there were all these dirty things behind it.

However, judging from the conversation between Emperor Donghua and Zhu Ganglie in the prison, Emperor Donghua may have seen through this point.

It was only because he was disliked by the Jade Emperor that he had the title of "the head of the world's male immortals" on his head, so he took advantage of the trend and proved his innocence by reincarnation.

Suddenly, an idea flashed in Li Anran's head.

Perhaps it wasn't just Emperor Donghua who saw it.

Zhang Guolao, He Xiangu, and Han Xiangzi probably also saw the clues in their previous lives, but they had to bow their heads under the eaves, and could only pretend to be grateful and agreed.

In any case, the Taishang Laojun's strict requirements on the Eight Immortals made it very difficult for the Eight Immortals to gather together, and the time span was much longer than that of learning scriptures from the West.

The first of the Eight Immortals, Tieguai Li Chengxian, happened more than 500 years ago, and the last three of the Eight Immortals, Lan Caihe, Han Xiangzi and Cao Guoshu, Lan Caihe has just started to practice, and the other two have not yet been born.

Li Anran didn't know the origins of He Xiangu, Han Xiangzi, and Uncle Cao. He only knew that Lan Caihe was the reincarnation of the Barefoot Immortal.

That's right, the one who was fooled by the monkeys to the Tongming Hall when the monkeys made trouble in the Heavenly Palace.

Although this barefoot immortal is a scattered immortal, he has already cultivated to the realm of Daluo.

Just out of pity for the common people who died in the war, he threw Huofeng, the birthday gift prepared for the Jade Emperor, into the River of Forgetfulness, so that they could avoid being infected by resentment and hostility and be reincarnated. He was reincarnated and rebuilt after calamity.

This happened 17 years ago!

During the period when Li Jing temporarily acted as the god of justice!
It is said that the Jade Emperor thought that the barefooted immortal was disrespectful and wanted to behead the barefooted immortal as a warning to others.

It was the Taishang Laojun who argued hard, thinking that although the Barefoot Immortal's behavior was inappropriate, it was also from a compassionate heart.

Only then did he persuade the Jade Emperor, save the life of the barefoot immortal, and gave him a chance to reincarnate and rebuild.

As long as you make enough meritorious deeds, you can be ranked in the fairy class again!

Li Anran was browsing the life of the Holy Mother of the Golden Spirit in the dungeon at that time, and he listened to Sanqing's sermon with great enjoyment, so he didn't pay attention to it at all.

However, after Yang Jian knew this, his face was gloomy for several days, and he only wished to shoot Jade Emperor, Li Jing and Taishang Laojun each.

While his thoughts were turning, Li Anran had already lost his head.

LV Dongbin and the others' residence in the mortal world is just a mountain villa surrounded by mountains and rivers. The area is not large, there are only a dozen or so houses, but inside it is complete.

Small bridges and flowing water, rockery ponds, flower gardens and bamboo forests... everything.

It doesn't look like a fairy residence, but it looks like a garden in the south of the Yangtze River where mortals live.

When Li Anran arrived here, Yang Jian, Lu Dongbin, Han Zhongli, Tieguai Li, He Xiangu, and Lan Caihe were in the hall, discussing the matter of rescuing Nezha.

Yang Jian was the first to notice Li Anran's breath, and greeted him at the door.

Xiao Tiangou held a big bone and followed closely behind Yang Jian, nodding and bowing to Li Anran with a flattering smile on his face.

Lu Dongbin, Tieguai Li, Han Zhongli, Zhang Guolao, He Xiangu, Lan Caihe also followed.

After Yang Jian asked about Li Anran's intentions, he introduced to Lu Dongbin and the others: "This is Li Anran, the Prison God of the Heavenly Court. He is also a disciple of Taiyi Tianzun and Nezha's younger brother. He was ordered by Taiyi Tianzun to come to help us. "

"Lv Yan (Han Zhongli, Zhang Guolao...) has met the Prison God." Lu Dongbin and others stepped forward to salute.

Li Anran returned a salute indifferently, and only paid more attention to Lu Dongbin.

Perhaps it was because Lu Dongbin was also born with a pure Yang body, his figure and appearance were almost exactly the same as Emperor Donghua, but without the beautiful temples that people liked most at the time, he looked much younger.

In terms of temperament, it is a little less majestic and more suave.

The Chunyang Sword was transformed into a folding fan by him, and he held it in his hand, like a dandy, better than a Taoist priest.

"Worthy of being the reincarnation of Emperor Donghua. It has only been more than 30 years, and he has already cultivated the first level of Xuanxian! It is much better than Tieguai Li and Han Zhongli, two related households!"

"With the Chunyang Sword, Lu Dongbin has no shortage of killing methods, but he also needs a magic weapon for protection."

When Emperor Donghua was reincarnated, he was the one who protected the Dharma, and also received a ray of innate pure yang energy bestowed by Emperor Donghua.

Speaking of which, he was the one who took advantage of Emperor Donghua.

Li Anran was going to find an opportunity to give Lu Dongbin a defensive magic weapon, which can be regarded as repaying the karma.

On the other side, Lu Dongbin and others were also quietly looking at Li Anran.

Among them, only Tieguai Li had met Li Anran a few times before, and the rest were meeting Li Anran for the first time!

However, they have heard Li Anran's name from Nezha countless times!

Especially the fact that Li Anran once imprisoned the leader of Tongtian (Eight Immortals didn't know that the fake Tongtian was a ray of hostility from the leader of Tongtian, and thought he was the real leader of Tongtian) in the prison, made them admire Li Anran even more!
Countless times, Nezha wanted to invite Li Anran to help them get rid of the leader of Tongtian, but because Li Anran had been retreating, he couldn't achieve it!

Now, the legendary character Li Anran finally appeared, which made them very excited.

but……

"Why do I find this judiciary god so unpleasant?" Zhang Guolao muttered inwardly.

Lu Dongbin was just the opposite. He had a good impression of Li Anran at first sight, as if they had met countless times before, and they felt like old friends at first sight.

Li Anran didn't care what they thought, the most important thing now was to rescue Nezha first.

He also figured it out on the way.

Nezha will be attacked by Fake Tongtian, probably because Nezha knows that the matter of Dongsheng Shenzhou is just the layout of the Taishang Laojun, just like learning from the West, it is just a play.

This is not the slightest defense!

Unexpectedly, the fake Tongtian chess piece would suddenly jump up and bite, which caught him off guard.

"Second brother, what's the situation now?" Li Anran asked.

Yang Jian said: "The leader of Tongtian should have guessed that I would bring Xiaotiangou, and erased his smell and Nezha's smell in advance, so Xiaotiangou couldn't find their location."

Lu Dongbin added next to him: "Heavenly Prisoner, we have just discussed that we should go find the pangolin first. He is a disciple of Master Tongtian. As long as we can find him, we must find out where Master Tongtian is hiding. Then we will be able to find him." ..."

"It doesn't have to be so troublesome."

Li Anran interrupted Lu Dongbin and said, "I can find the position of the leader of Tongtian. Second brother, let's go there now. Rescue Nezha as soon as possible, so as not to have long nights and dreams."

Back then, False Tongtian escaped from the Heaven Prison.

Although Li Anran did it on purpose that he escaped from prison successfully.

However, the Punishment Book will not care about these.

Li Anran can locate the fake Tongtian at any time.

"Okay." Yang Jian nodded, without saying a word, he just threw away the plan they made earlier.

He had expected that Li Anran would be able to find the position of False Tongtian, but because Li Anran was practicing the Four Swords of Jade Immortals in retreat, he didn't bother him.

At this time, Taiyi Tianzun sent Li Anran over, apparently Li Anran had successfully sacrificed the Four Swords of Jade Immortal.

Although Yang Jian didn't ask or say anything, he was also happy for Li Anran in his heart.

"You don't have to go." Seeing that Lu Dongbin and the others followed, Li Anran said, "Second brother and I are enough."

The last time he fought against Fake Tongtian, Fake Tongtian had the peak strength of Taiyi Jinxian. After staying in the catastrophe for so long, his strength will definitely improve, and he may even reach the realm of Daluo Jinxian.

Lu Dongbin and the others, Tieguai Li and Han Zhongli with the highest cultivation bases are only middle-level Xuanxian, and Lan Caihe has not even become a fairy yet.

Let alone helping, the aftermath of their fight might kill Lu Dongbin and the others.

In addition, another important reason is that the incident of the Eight Immortals was deliberately caused by the Taishang Laojun in order to eliminate the calamity of Dongsheng Shenzhou.

False Babel is the whetstone for the Eight Immortals.

Li Anran and Yang Jian had to hold back a little bit, they couldn't kill him directly.

With Lu Dongbin and the others around, they still have to act, which is really troublesome!

"We're going too!" Lan Caihe didn't want to stay.

The Barefoot Immortal has only been reincarnated for 15 years, and Lan Cai and Xu Sui are only 15 years old. They are the youngest among the Eight Immortals and have the best relationship with Nezha.

When Fake Tongtian attacked Nezha, he was by Nezha's side.

The reason why the mortals approached them under the fake Tongtian Transformation was to ask him to heal their illnesses.

Because of this, Lan Caihe felt guilty and blamed himself, and wanted to rescue Nezha himself.

Lv Dongbin and Nezha were the first to know each other, and it was the same. He said sincerely, "Prisoner God, although we are not the opponents of Master Tongtian, we can help you deal with his subordinates! Don't worry, we will never drag you down!"

"Don't underestimate us, we can help!" He Xiangu was a little unconvinced.

"Prisoner God, let us go!" Tieguai Li was more polite, and only said: "One more person, one more effort."

Han Zhongli said: "We have dealt with the leader of the Tongtian Cult for so many years, and we are more familiar with him. We will definitely be able to help when we go there!"

Li Anran: "..." You and I are familiar with him?
Seeing that Li Anran was showing impatience, Yang Jian gave him a peaceful look, and said, "Fellow Taoists, I know that you are worried about Nezha and want to contribute. But the main purpose of our trip this time is The purpose is to save people, and the fewer people there are, the better. If the leader of the Tongtian Church is cornered, it will be bad."

Everyone was silent for a moment.

Li Anran didn't say anything anymore, turned around and walked out the door.

Yang Jian nodded slightly to the immortals, indicating that they don't have to worry, and followed.

"Wang Wang!"

Although the Xiaotian dog has turned into a human form, many of the dog's habits are still left behind, preferring barking to barking in human language.

He yelled twice triumphantly, and was about to follow when he heard Li Anran say: "Xiaotiangou, you stay just like them."

Roaring dog: (⊙o⊙)

Lu Dongbin and others: "???"

What does it mean to be the same as us?
what do you mean by that?
