I am guarding the sky prison in Journey to the West

Chapter 243

"Great Heavenly Lord, the matter of human elixir was indeed caused by the poor monk, but it was definitely not the poor monk's intention. The poor monk just mentioned it casually to the disciples around him at that time. He never thought that the evil beast would actually remember it in his heart and be so bold. Escape secretly to earth..."

When Li Anran was checking Kunpeng's life in the sky prison, Guanyin also followed Taibai Jinxing to the Lingxiao Palace.

Also coming with him was Ananda who was beside the Tathagata.

Ananda was nominally expressing his apology to the Jade Emperor on behalf of Tathagata, but in fact he was here to support Guanyin's platform.

Guanyin is one of the three great masters of Lingshan, a Daluo Jinxian, and a close confidant of Tathagata.

Many of the Tathagata's calculations over the years, such as the monkeys making trouble in the heavenly palace, the gathering of scriptures from the west, and the future gambling fight with Wutian, were all implemented by Guanyin personally.

Not to mention that Guanyin has now found a reason to quibble. He only admitted that the method of refining the human elixir came from his own hands, and that he had evil thoughts to save all the water tribes in Tongtian River. He pushed all other matters to the King of Inspiration.

Even if she really gets all the stolen goods and is caught, Lingshan will definitely protect her.

At most, it's just three drinks as a penalty, just to make things look good on the bright side.

In fact, from the very beginning of this matter, many gods felt that Yang Jian was making a fuss over the above outline, and were full of confusion and dissatisfaction with Yang Jian's insistence on using Guanyin to correct the rules of heaven.

However, due to the fact that Yang Jian was in a high position and had just made great achievements, Zhen Yuanzi, the master of suffering, was still around, and they couldn't openly ignore the laws of heaven, so they buried all this in their hearts.

Now, Guanyin came to the Lingxiao Palace, apologized to the Jade Emperor and Zhen Yuanzi, and put most of the blame on the King of Inspiration.

These gods immediately stood up and began to intercede on behalf of Guanyin.

Li Jing, as the Grand Marshal of Conquering Demons and the person with the highest status in Lingshan in Heaven, was the first to speak.

"Your Majesty, the human elixir incident was not done intentionally by the Bodhisattva. It was actually caused by the greed of the fish demon, which caused this catastrophe. Moreover, the Great Immortal Zhenyuan has already forgiven Guanyin Bodhisattva. If we pursue this matter further, it is both reasonable and reasonable. None of them are appropriate. Why not punish the fish demon severely to set an example for others?"

The Four Heavenly Kings followed closely behind.

"What King Li Tianwang said makes sense. Master Guanyin has always been compassionate. Although he accidentally violated the killing prohibition this time, he still cares about the reputation of the gods and Buddhas in the three realms, which is understandable. If Master Guanyin is severely punished just for this matter, I'm afraid It will chill the hearts of gods and Buddhas in the three realms."

"My minister seconded the proposal."

"Xiaoxian seconded."

……

Suddenly, in the Lingxiao Hall, voices pleading for Guanyin could be heard one after another.

Guanyin just clasped her hands together and stood quietly aside, pretending to be willing to be punished and let go.

However, in Zhen Yuanzi's eyes, this is more like "what can I do?"

Zhen Yuanzi remained calm and calm on his face, but he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

The scene before him had actually been expected by him.

Although they could use the incident at the Demon Master's Mansion to force the Jade Emperor and promise to strictly investigate the human elixir matter in accordance with the rules of heaven, but it is a bit fanciful to use this to deal with Guanyin!
In this world, the strong are always respected!
It is difficult for a weak person to confuse right and wrong.

If a strong person wants to confuse right and wrong, it should not be too simple!
Guanyin and the Lingshan Mountain behind Guanyin are undoubtedly strong.

That is to say, this matter involves him, and Yang Jian is insisting there. If it were anyone else, Guanyin would not be able to make this trip.

But even if they come, they can't do anything to Guanyin!

Just like now, Guanyin has admitted his mistake and apologized to him. What else can he do besides choosing to forgive?
Is it really possible to hold on to Guanyin and force her to admit that she coveted the ginseng fruit and instructed the King of Inspiration to refine the human elixir?

Not to mention that they don't have conclusive evidence. Even if they do, so what?
Kunpeng's lesson is right in front of him.

If they really broke up with each other, even if he was the ancestor of the Earth Immortal, he wouldn't be able to benefit at all.

Ancestor Hongyun also saw all this.

Back then, he would have stood up to expose Guanyin's lies and ask for an explanation for Zhen Yuanzi. But after experiencing so many things in these years, he was no longer as innocent as he was back then, and he had learned to weigh the pros and cons. Learned to be patient and give in.

Ancestor Hongyun raised his eyes and looked at Yang Jian, only to find that Yang Jian looked calm and said nothing.

Ancestor Hongyun couldn't help but feel a flash of disappointment in his eyes, but he also felt it was natural.

No matter how impassioned and righteous Yang Jian was in Wuzhuang Temple, people were not allowed to bow their heads under the eaves. Faced with such a situation, what could he do?
At this moment, the Jade Emperor spoke: "Yang Jian, as the god of justice, you have been in charge of the laws and regulations of heaven for many years. What do you think we should do about this matter?"

Everyone's eyes suddenly turned to Yang Jian.

Yang Jian has been insisting on this matter from beginning to end. As long as Yang Jian can be solved, the matter will be solved.

Yang Jian said calmly: "Your Majesty, since the Bodhisattva said that it was the fish demon under her who secretly descended to earth and refined the human elixir with the souls of boys and girls, she has nothing to do with it. Why not capture the fish demon and find out what happened?"

The Jade Emperor nodded slightly, turned to look at Guanyin and said: "Bodhisattva, since the God of Justice still has doubts about this matter, please send someone to capture the fish demon and hand it over to him for interrogation, so that I can repay you, Bodhisattva." A clean slate.”

Guanyin glanced at Yang Jian in surprise, wondering why a smart man like Yang Jian would make such a request?Doing such useless work?

Guanyin said: "Great Heavenly Lord, after the poor Taoist learned about this in Lingshan, he hurried to Heaven. The evil beast should still be in my Chaoyin Cave in Luojia Mountain."

Taibai Jinxing next to her nodded, indicating that Guanyin was right. She came directly from Lingshan to Heaven, and there was no delay in the process.

"Please also ask the Great Heavenly Lord to send someone to go there. After all, this matter involves the poor monk. It is inconvenient for the poor monk to get involved, so as not to cause misunderstandings and think that the poor monk colluded with that evil beast to make a confession."

These words were already a direct poke at Yang Jian's head.

Yang Jian just pretended not to hear and stood there quietly.

The Jade Emperor said: "The Bodhisattva is joking. How the Bodhisattva behaves is known to all the gods and Buddhas in the three realms. Who would misunderstand the Bodhisattva?"

Guanyin insisted: "Please ask the Great Heavenly Lord to send someone there."

"Okay." The Jade Emperor didn't hesitate anymore, and immediately ordered Li Laosi, one of the Meishan brothers, to lead the troops to Luojia Mountain in the South China Sea to capture the Inspiration King.

After Yang Jian inquired about the aspirations of the six Meishan brothers at Guanjiangkou, he made arrangements for each of them.

Li Laosi is no longer affiliated with the Judicial Heavenly Temple, but works as an errand beside the Jade Emperor, serving as the guardian of the Tongming Hall, the outer hall of the Lingxiao Hall.

This position is somewhat similar to the commander of the Mortal Guards, and is still above the general of the Curtain Roller Sha Seng.

The Jade Emperor sent Li Laosi to arrest people in order to show that he was fair and just and to calm Yang Jian's heart.

"I obey the order." Li Laosi received the order and led a group of heavenly soldiers and generals out of the Nantian Gate and flew directly to Luojia Mountain in the South China Sea.

Not long after, he hurriedly returned to Lingxiao Palace carrying a big carp that was red and glowing with golden light.

However, the koi in his hand was already a dead fish.

"Your Majesty, this fish demon knew that he was guilty of a serious crime. When Wei Chen led the troops to capture it, he committed suicide in front of Wei Chen." Li Laosi reported.

There was an uproar in Lingxiao Palace.A look of astonishment appeared on Guanyin's face at the right time, and then he sighed deeply, clasped his hands together, and recited "Namo Amitabha".

Afterwards, she performed the rebirth formula, expressing her compassion to the fullest.

All the civil and military immortals did not dare to think big, either sighing at Guanyin Bodhisattva's compassionate heart, or saying that they had gained the advantage of that evil beast.

But it seems that people like Yang Jian Taishang Laojun Town Yuanzi Hongyun Patriarch and others know it well.

Guanyin indeed rushed to heaven immediately after receiving the imperial edict.

However, Tathagata does not!

In all likelihood, this inspiration king was killed by the Tathagata, and in front of Li Laosi, he made a good show of committing suicide out of fear of crime!
If nothing else, he should have been so distraught that he committed suicide out of fear of crime!

Sure enough, when the Jade Emperor asked Taibai Jinxing to go to the underworld to take the soul of King Inspiration to heaven, he learned from King Yama that the soul of King Inspiration did not appear in the underworld at all, but had completely dissipated.

The Jade Emperor said: "This fish demon is now in a state of despair, so he deserves it. This is the end of the matter..."

"His Majesty."

Yang Jian took a step forward and interrupted the Jade Emperor's words: "The fish demon is only related to the human elixir. Thousands of living beings in the Tongtian River died in vain, but Guanyin Bodhisattva personally did it and has admitted it. The matter has not been finalized yet! "

"Yang Jian."

Before the Jade Emperor could speak, Li Jing took the initiative to step forward and said: "Although the Bodhisattva impulsively killed those mortal creatures, he also saved them into reincarnation. Their blessings in the next life will definitely be stronger than this one. I'm afraid they are It’s too late to thank Bodhisattva, so why should you hold on to this matter?”

All the civil and military immortals nodded in agreement.

Those who are reborn as fish or shrimps must have done evil in their previous lives and entered the animal realm.

It is a good thing that they were reincarnated earlier and were saved by Guanyin Bodhisattva to be reincarnated!
Yang Jian snorted coldly and said: "As a god of justice, everything must be done in accordance with the laws of heaven. What will happen to them in the next life, whether they are grateful or not, what does it have to do with me?"

Then he said to the Jade Emperor: "Your Majesty, according to the law of heaven, Guanyin Bodhisattva has committed such a great sin of murder. He should abolish his cultivation and enter the animal realm. Only after paying off all his sins can he be reincarnated as a human being."

Jade Emperor: "!!!"

Guanyin: "!!!"

Zhen Yuanzi: "!!!"

All the civil and military immortals: "!!!"

The Lingxiao Palace fell silent for an instant, and you could hear a needle drop.

Everyone, including Taishang Laojun Town Yuanzi Hongyun Patriarch, looked at Yang Jian in shock, wondering if their ears had heard it wrong.

Guanyin could not maintain her expression of shame and self-blame. She opened her eyes wide and looked at Yang Jian in disbelief.

When she came back to her senses, the anger in her heart suddenly burst out, and she just wanted to smash the jade purification bottle in her hand on Yang Jian's head.

"How dare you humiliate me like this!" Guanyin cursed in his heart through gritted teeth.

Yang Jian's words, just saying them, were already a great humiliation to her, and they crushed her face to the ground!
The Jade Emperor was stunned for a while before he came back to his senses. For a moment, he didn't know what to say.

Yang Jian simply ignored everyone's reaction and continued: "The rules of heaven are related to the majesty of the heaven. The little god implores your majesty to issue an edict to immediately cast Guanyin into the animal realm and reincarnate for hundreds of lives before he can be liberated."

The Jade Emperor opened his mouth, but no words came out.

The gods in the main hall who had been interceding for Guanyin before were also at a loss at this time.

Yang Jian's firepower was so fierce that it frightened them.

It was Taibai Jinxing who reacted the fastest and said quickly: "God of Justice, I remember that the laws of heaven not only include punishments, but also rewards. Master Guanyin has saved all sentient beings over the years and has made countless meritorious deeds. He should be able to offset these karma. yes."

"Yes, yes!" The Jade Emperor hurriedly followed the path of Taibai Jinxing and said: "Master Guanyin has accomplished so many meritorious deeds, it should be the difference between merit and demerit!"

As soon as he opened his mouth, all the gods came to their senses and shouted: "Your Majesty is wise."

Only Guanyin's face turned black and her eyes were full of anger.

This anger is not only towards Yang Jian, but also towards people like Li Jing and the Four Heavenly Kings!
Yang Jian's talk about "entering the realm of animals" is obviously alarmist, just to "those who seek the best will get it."

However, Li Jing and this group of idiots were obviously frightened, and they were even bypassed by Yang Jian!

What they had said before was that the King of Inspiration should be severely punished and she should not be implicated.

Now, she is required to balance her merits and demerits!

The merits of heaven are not as invisible and intangible as those of the mortal world. It is not only related to human merits, but also affects luck!
This sentence "the merits outweigh the faults" is equivalent to making all her hard work over the years come to naught!
This is no longer a punishment, but a truly severe punishment!
A severe punishment on the same level as being thrown into the animal realm!

Guanyin wanted to wake them up, but due to her current status and situation, it was really difficult for her to speak out, so she could only hold back her anger.

What Yang Jian was waiting for was the sentence of merits and demerits, and he immediately said: "What your Majesty and Mr. Xing said is reasonable. It's Yang Jian who didn't think carefully."

The gods were stunned at first, wondering why Yang Jian was so tough just now, why did he suddenly give in?

Later, they figured out the hidden meanings and noticed Guanyin's livid face.

At this time, it was too late for them to change their words, so they could only look at each other, not daring to look at Guanyin again.

The Jade Emperor seemed completely unaware of this and said, "Since all my dear friends think so, then it's settled."

"His Majesty."

Yang Jian said again: "Although the merits and demerits are equal, it would be unjustifiable if there is no punishment at all. Why not punish the Bodhisattva to be confined in a heavenly prison for ten days, which can be regarded as an explanation to the sentient beings in the three realms."

The Jade Emperor nodded slightly and asked, "What do you think, my dear friends?"

Being imprisoned in the heavenly prison for ten days is just the blink of an eye to the gods, not even a punishment.

Naturally, the gods had no objections and nodded in praise.

The Jade Emperor looked at Ananda and Guanyin again: "Where are the Bodhisattvas and Ananda? Do you have anything to say?"

Ananda said nothing and looked at Guanyin.

Before coming, Tathagata told him that everything should be based on Guanyin.

"The poor monk is willing to be punished."

Even though Guanyin was extremely angry, she couldn't say anything at this time and could only hold her nose and respond.

However, when his eyes glanced at Yang Jian, the hatred and murderous intent in his eyes were real.
