I am guarding the sky prison in Journey to the West

Chapter 256 Ancestor Styx
"What the hell is this!" Li Anran was speechless.

Because of the memory of the lotus lantern in his previous life, when he first met San Sheng Sheng, a cheater, he didn't have a good impression of her. He helped San Sheng Sheng entirely because he owed Yang Jian a favor and wanted to repay it.

But, we got along for a long time.

Li Anran discovered that the Three Holy Mothers were not as bad as he thought, and they were not really selfish and willful.

The reason why she will become the character of the original time and space is more because she has been protected and doted on by Yang Jian for a long time. She is used to Yang Jian's kindness to her, and her personality is a bit too naive and simple.

In addition, those who are close to vermillion are red and those who are close to ink are black. They spend time with Fairy Baihua and others day and night, and are affected by Fairy Baihua and others.

In this world, because of Li Anran's existence, the Third Holy Mother saw through Baihua Fairy's true face early on, and quickly matured after experiencing the tragedy of Long Si's death at the hands of the Nine-Headed Insect.

In order to save Long Si, the Third Holy Mother took the initiative to take on the role of Huashan Earth Immortal, earning merit and nourishing Long Si's remnant soul, which she did for hundreds of years.

During this period, although San Sheng Sheng also made some mistakes, she always maintained her integrity, kindness and perseverance.

Li Anran also changed his view of the Three Holy Mothers greatly.

However, he never thought about what would happen between him and the Three Holy Mothers!
——Li Anran said that since his previous life, he felt that San Shengsheng was blind when she married Liu Yanchang and severely cheated Yang Jian.

However, he always subconsciously felt that the Third Holy Mother had already taken over, and he only regarded the Third Holy Mother as the sister of his best friend, without any other thoughts.

Now that he suddenly learned that the Third Holy Mother had fallen in love with him, Li Anran was really confused.

His consciousness touched the line of cause and effect between the two people. To be more precise, the line of cause and effect included the love thread extending from the Three Holy Mothers to him. Countless pictures flashed through his mind.

The anger when they first met and had a conflict, the gratitude for revealing Baihua Fairy's true face, the admiration when catching the Nine-Headed Insect alive to avenge Long Si, the admiration when he lectured and pointed out the country, the expectation of making cakes with his own hands, the shyness of inviting to the banquet...

Li Anran realized belatedly that the Third Holy Mother had treated him very differently from others over the years.

However, he has no idea about the Three Holy Mothers!

Compared with the vastness of the avenue, the love between men and women is too small!
The deeper your cultivation, the more you have such thoughts!
Li Anran looked at the strand of love that had a beginning and an end, and pinched out a magic formula with his right hand. He was about to use the Six Soul Flag to cut it off, but suddenly stopped.

It’s not that I’m reluctant, it’s that it’s not worth it!

If you use the Six Soul Flags to control cause and effect, you will definitely suffer the backlash of cause and effect!
He had previously set things right and would not have been affected at all. Now it is hard to say what consequences he would have for the Third Holy Mother by cutting off his love now!

The way of cause and effect is so mysterious that even a saint can hardly see through it completely, let alone a Daluo Jinxian like him!

If his actions have any impact on the Three Holy Mothers and himself, then it's not worth it!
"Forget it! This matter doesn't have to be settled this way. Just find a chance to explain it to Third Sister later!" Li Anran put away the Six Soul Flag.

The reason why the Three Holy Mothers can touch the hearts of ordinary people is because their cultivation is too shallow and their knowledge is too short, so they fail to appreciate the vastness and splendor of the great avenue.

In the future, when her cultivation becomes more advanced, she will no longer have such thoughts!
At this moment, Li Anran heard a report from the heavenly soldiers outside. Yang Jian and Taibai Jinxing arrived outside the heavenly prison and ordered him to go out to receive the order.

The content of the imperial edict is for Li Anran to escort the Happy Buddha to the Immortal Killing Platform, destroy all his cultivation, cut off the immortal bones and immortal roots, leaving only a ray of residual soul to be driven into the tunnel of reincarnation, and he will not be able to achieve enlightenment and become an immortal within a hundred lifetimes.

Such punishment can be said to be extremely harsh.

However, this is still the result of the failure of the Buddha's plan to succeed and the Tathagata himself sending people to intercede.

If it had been anyone else, they would have been subjected to all kinds of torture, and then their souls would be scattered, and they would never be reincarnated.

After Taibai Jinxing read out the decree, he said goodbye and left.

Only Yang Jian and Li Anran were left to take the Happy Buddha to the Immortal Killing Platform and behead him as a warning to others.

"Second brother, I have solved the matter of third sister. I erased her name from the six soul flags, and the happy Buddha's moving hands and feet have also been corrected."

Li Anran hesitated for a moment and did not mention that the Third Holy Mother was attracted to him.

Firstly, he was concerned about the face of the girls of the Three Holy Mothers.

Secondly, it was based on his understanding of Yang Jian.

Yang Jian admitted that having children between immortals and mortals would do more harm than good to the three realms, but he disagreed that immortals should be like stone and wood, unable to have feelings and touch mortals.

In the future, he will definitely change the rule that gods cannot touch mortal hearts.

If Yang Jian learns about the affair between San Sheng Sheng and him, he will probably choose to acquiesce or even mediate. Li Anran finds it troublesome and does not want to hurt the relationship between the two parties.

It's better not to mention this matter openly, so as not to embarrass everyone.

Yang Jian breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and looked at Li Anran with gratitude in his eyes.

Li Anran was afraid that he would say something polite, so he asked: "Second brother, didn't Lingshan ask you for the Six Soul Flags?"

Yang Jian said: "The Six Soul Banner was stolen to Lingshan by Huanxi Buddha. Now he used the Six Soul Banner to plot against the third sister and was caught by us. What reason does Lingshan have to ask for it back? Even if he wants to ask for it, he should It’s not until the Holy Mother comes!”

"Brother Li Anran, I remember that you have been meditating on the way of cause and effect, and this Six Soul Flag just fits you. You put it away first. The Jie Jie will not have time to come to you in a short time. Wait until they speak later Ask for it, and we’ll discuss what to do.”

He also solemnly warned: "This six-soul flag is the same as the treasured money. It can damage the enemy by one thousand, but it can damage you by eight hundred. You can use it to understand the way of cause and effect, but you must not use it casually. Remember! Remember!"

Yang Jian said "remember" two times in a row, but he was still worried that Li Anran didn't know the seriousness of the situation, and then talked about Zhao Gongming.

"Brother Li Anran, do you still remember that during the previous siege of the Demon Master's Mansion, Zhao Gongming used the treasure money twice to lose an innate spiritual treasure, the Purple Gold Shield, and Kunpeng's River Map?"

Li Anran was taken aback.

He originally thought that when Yang Jian said that Jie Jiao didn't have time, he meant that Jie Jiao was busy refining the Chaos Bell, but he didn't expect that it was because of Zhao Gongming.

"Second brother, what kind of trouble did Zhao Gongming encounter? The entire Jiejiao family couldn't escape?"

Li Anran was a little surprised and asked: "He killed so many great demons in the Demon Master's Mansion at the Demon Suppression Platform and gained a lot of merit and luck. Isn't it all useless?"

Yang Jian said: "It is useful, but it is a drop in the bucket and far from enough. Luobao money is about clearing both money and goods, and equal transactions. The purple gold shield is nothing, but Hetu is not only the best innate spiritual treasure, but also a large number of Blessed by merit and luck.”

"Locking the treasure and losing it with money is much more expensive than when Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao lost Zhao Gongming's Dinghai Pearl."

"If Zhao Gongming hadn't found a lot of merit and luck from the great demons in the Demon Master's Mansion, he would have suffered a fatal disaster long ago, instead of just encountering some troubles like now..."

Following Yang Jian's eloquent talk, Li Anran soon knew what happened to Zhao Gongming.

After the catastrophe of becoming a god, Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao became Zhao Gongming's subordinate, and the money from the treasure fell into Zhao Gongming's hands.

Zhao Gongming was very aware of the cost of using the fallen treasure money. After killing the big demons in the Demon Master's Mansion on the demon killing platform and gaining some merit and luck, he returned to Lishan to retreat and practice the Hetu Luoshu that he had just obtained.

After all, he had already paid the price for using Luobao's money, and there was no point in regretting it. Naturally, he couldn't let go of the benefits he got.

If he can successfully sacrifice Hetu Luoshu, it will be much easier for him to deal with the disaster that may occur due to the decline of luck in the future, or to find Ran Deng to take back the Ding Haizhu in the future.

Mother Wudang and others were very supportive of this, and they all returned to Lishan with Zhao Gongming, and began practicing in seclusion near Zhao Gongming.Our Lady of Wudang wants to sacrifice the Chaos Bell.

The rest were given more to two people, especially Protector Zhao Gongming.

Their decision was very wise.

When Zhao Gongming started to perform sacrifices and refining the Hetuluoshu, he triggered the backhand that Kunpeng had left in the Hetuluoshu.

Not only did he fail to successfully sacrifice Hetuluoshu, but his soul was swept away by Hetuluoshu and disappeared without a trace, leaving only a physical body in its place.

After Wudang Holy Mother and others noticed it, they immediately lost their mind to retreat and began to look for Zhao Gongming's soul everywhere.

In the end, I still found Zhen Yuanzi.

Zhen Yuanzi used a ginseng fruit to open the Treasure Book of Heaven and Earth, only to find that Zhao Gongming's soul had reached the sea of ​​blood deep in the netherworld and fell into the hands of the Ancestor Styx.

Mother Wudang and others immediately went to the Blood Sea to find the Styx Ancestor’s important person.

Ancestor Minghe promised to give him the gift, but refused to return the Hetu Luoshu. He said that Kunpeng once owed him a huge cause and effect, and promised that if he died one day, he would give him the Hetu Luoshu. The end of cause and effect.

Therefore, Hetu Luoshu will appear here and should belong to him.

If Jie Jiao agreed to this, he would return Zhao Gongming's soul to Jie Jiao.

Jie Jiao joined forces with Tian Ting and Lu Ya to deal with the Demon Master Mansion in order to obtain the Chaos Bell's sacrificial method.

However, the way to sacrifice the Chaos Bell is the Zhoutian Star Dou Formation that they had already obtained.

As a result, they lost the Golden Spirit Holy Mother, the Fire Spirit Holy Mother, Yu Yuan Yuhua and other direct disciples of the Jie Cult. Zhao Gongming used Luobao twice to make money and luck suffer. The biggest benefit they got was Hetu Luoshu!

Mother Wudang and others were naturally unwilling to give up Hetu Luoshu to Ancestor Styx.

However, they were also worried that Zhao Gongming was in the hands of Ancestor Minghe and would not be able to take action.

The two sides have reached a stalemate, and there is still no result.

Yang Jian finally concluded: "Although the ancestor of Styx is not as good as Kunpeng, he has integrated himself with the sea of ​​blood. As long as the sea of ​​blood does not dry up, he can be reborn in nirvana."

"Now that he has obtained Hetu Luoshu again, Jie Jiao has no good way to deal with him. In addition, there is also the hostage Zhao Gongming. If this matter is in a stalemate until the end, Jie Jiao will definitely choose to compromise."

"However, when the Holy Mother Wudang succeeds in refining the Chaos Bell, she will definitely go to the Sea of ​​Blood to settle accounts with him. Lingshan has been in constant conflict with Ancestor Styx over the years, and Lingshan should also be involved when the time comes."

Li Anran thought thoughtfully and said, "Ancestor Styx should also have helpers."

The conflict between Lingshan and Ancestor Styx has been around for a long time.

The one who took the lead in stirring up trouble was not Ancestor Styx, but Lingshan!

The ancestor of Styx originally imitated the Nuwa Empress to create humans and created the Asura clan in the sea of ​​blood.

Although he failed to achieve enlightenment and become a saint as he wished, he still gained a lot of merit and relied on these merits to integrate himself with the sea of ​​blood. He is known as "the sea of ​​blood never dries up, and the river Styx never dies."

As a result, after the Catastrophe of Conferring Gods, Lingshan directly transformed part of the Asura clan into the Asura clan among the eight celestial dragons, and shared part of the fate of the ancestor of Styx.

Ancestor Minghe was furious and led the remaining Asura clan to fight with Lingshan.

The fight between the two sides lasted for thousands of years.

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva made a great wish to enter the hell and call himself the "Lord of the Netherworld" just to fight against the "Ancestor of the Netherworld", the "Ancestor of the Netherworld".

Ancestor Minghe dared to provoke Jiejiao even when he was fighting to the death with Lingshan.

It’s because Hetu Luoshu is touching, but it’s not just that!
Kunpeng's death was a shock to many ancient powerful people, and it was even more depressing.

These ancient powers have probably reached some agreements and joined forces to fight against the Heavenly Court Lingshan Xuanmen.

This is the true confidence of Patriarch Styx!
Otherwise, even if he can really achieve "the sea of ​​blood never dries up, the river of Styx never dies", if Jie Jiao and Lingshan compress the sea of ​​blood to the extreme and then seal him, it will be impossible for him to survive but not to die!
Li Anran was a little worried.

He is eyeing the ancestor of Zi Lei, will he also unite with the ancestor of Styx?
And even if not, if he attacks the Zi Lei Ancestor at this time, it is very likely that it will stimulate the tense nerves of these ancient powers and make them join forces to put pressure on Heavenly Court or even take action.

Then there is some trouble!
Yang Jian noticed Li Anran's look, and his heart moved, and he asked: "Brother Li Anran, what's wrong with you? Did something happen to you?"

Li Anran did not hide anything and told Yang Jian that he wanted to arrest Zi Lei ancestor in the sky prison.

Yang Jian pondered for a moment and asked: "Does it have to be the ancestor of Zi Lei? Or, as long as he listened to the Taoist ancestor's sermon in Zixiao Palace?"

Li Anran said: "As long as you listen to Taoist ancestors' sermons in Zixiao Palace, it will be fine."

Yang Jian smiled and said: "That will be much easier. Just wait patiently for a while and I will help you solve this matter."

Li Anran was overjoyed and thanked her profusely: "Then please trouble my second brother."

While the two were talking, they had already arrived at the Immortal Killing Platform.

Li Anran had just tied the Happy Buddha to the Immortal Killing Pillar.

Happy Buddha suddenly opened his eyes, and the extreme sense of crisis in his heart actually made him break through the confinement of the talisman and wake up.

"This, where is this?"

Huanxi Buddha's two red eyes looked around, and he quickly recognized that this was the Immortal Killing Platform. He also noticed Li Anran and Yang Jian beside him, and begged: "God of Justice, God of Prison, I know I was wrong! I It was lard that deceived my heart, and I deserve death! Please, please let me go this time!"

Li Anran smiled and said: "You don't need to die ten thousand times, just one death is enough."

Yang Jian read out the Jade Emperor's decree with a serious face and said: "You are able to leave a ray of soul behind, which is an act of mercy from His Majesty. I hope you can change your ways in the future and don't do such evil things again!" "

"No! I don't want it!"

The Happy Buddha completely lost his mind and screamed: "I am the Buddha from Lingshan. I have practiced hard for so many years. Why did the Jade Emperor abolish my cultivation? Tathagata Buddha, I want to find Tathagata Buddha! And Ran Deng Buddha, he doesn’t know how to..."

puff!
A knife light flashed.

Rabbit Head Enclave.

Blood splattered.

The shouting stopped abruptly.
