I am guarding the sky prison in Journey to the West

Chapter 257 Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea
The death of the Happy Buddha did not cause much commotion in the three realms, far less than when Guanyin was imprisoned in the heavenly prison.

Those who don’t know the origin of Huanxi Buddha’s heels only think that he is evil-minded and can’t do anything like this. He is really a scum of the Buddhist sect.

In addition, the people sent by the Tathagata to heaven did not plead directly for Huanxi Buddha openly, but in a more subtle way, "Huanxi Buddha was possessed by demons and committed such evil deeds. We, the Buddhist sect, will never protect you. Please follow the instructions of Heaven." "Severe punishments will be imposed to protect the remnants of the happy Buddha's soul."

Not only was Lingshan's reputation not damaged in the eyes of ordinary gods, but it was also praised for its impartiality and selflessness.

And those who know the origin of the Buddha's heels, after learning what the Buddha has done, also feel that the Tathagata can save the remnant soul of the Buddha and reincarnate, which is the most benevolent and righteous.

He wouldn't think there was anything wrong with what Lingshan did. He would just curl his lips with disdain when mentioning the Happy Buddha, saying, "Those ungrateful and shameless villains deserved to end up like this."

In just half a month, no one in the three realms mentioned the joy of the Buddha again, and the focus of discussion turned to the upcoming Jiazi Examination and the Peach Feast.

The Jiazi Examination is related to the future of the gods in the Three Realms, so there is no need to say more.

The Peach Feast is because after the Conferred God List was destroyed, all the disciples of the Jie Sect were reincarnated one after another, and the gods in heaven could be said to have been shuffled.

Everyone is curious about which gods the Queen Mother will invite to the Peach Blossom Party this time, and how the seats will be arranged.

And those powerful men with truly powerful powers and high positions are all paying attention to the affairs of Jiejiao and the Ancestor Styx.

Li Anran could tell that Patriarch Minghe was so stubborn in front of Jie Jiao, so he must have new support, and these powerful people could also see it.

The dispute between the Jie Jiao and the Ancestor of the Ming River is on the surface a fight for the Hetu Luoshu. In fact, it also hides the conflict between the top powers in the three realms such as Tianting, Jie Jiao and even Xuanmen Lingshan and the elders of the previous era. confrontation.

If one situation is not handled well, it may develop into a war that affects the entire Three Realms.

There are even many powerful people who doubt whether their original speculation at the Bon Bon Conference was wrong. Will the upcoming catastrophe not be a dispute between Buddhism and Taoism, but a dispute between the old and the new eras?

When Yang Jian heard this statement, he became more and more certain about the development of the situation: "This fight will definitely not break out. Even if they want to fight, others will not agree."

The facts developed just as Yang Jian expected.

After a month and a half of confrontation between Jie Jiao and Ancestor Styx, they temporarily reached a reconciliation under pressure from all parties.

Jie Jiao pinched his nose and admitted what Patriarch Minghe said that Kunpeng owed him a huge karma, and he wanted to pay it back with Hetu Luoshu.

However, it was also suggested that Kunpeng killed Jin Ling Shen Shen and others, and there was also a big cause and effect between it and Jie Jiao. Kunpeng also had to repay Jie Jiao's debt, and he could not use all of it to pay off the ancestor of Styx.

Ancestor Ming He agreed with this statement and returned Zhao Gongming and He Tu to Jie Jiao, but kept Luo Shu.

Both parties have taken a step back, but neither party is satisfied with the result!

Jie Jiao felt that Patriarch Minghe was taking advantage of the situation with empty words, and his face was greatly damaged.

Ancestor Minghe felt that he did not hesitate to offend Jie Jiao, but in the end he only got a Luoshu, which was really not a good deal!

In addition, Hetu Luoshu can only exert the power of the best innate spiritual treasure when they are together. After being separated, each of them can only be regarded as a good innate spiritual treasure.

Sooner or later, there will be a fight between Jie Jiao and Patriarch Styx!
the other side.

The Heavenly Court also sent a message to the three realms, announcing various crimes committed by the Demon Master's Mansion, saying that Heaven's siege and suppression of the Demon Master's Mansion was because the Demon Master Kunpeng despised the Heavenly Court and repeatedly violated the rules of heaven.

He also warned the monks and demons in the mortal world that Heaven would not care about their personal grudges, but if they acted recklessly and violated the laws of Heaven, Heaven would definitely send troops to surround and suppress them.

This is obviously also what he said to Patriarch Styx and the ancient relics behind him——

Heaven will not interfere with your personal grudges.

But if anyone violates the rules of heaven, don't blame heaven for being rude!

This is because Tianting has just wiped out the Demon Master's Mansion, so it has the confidence to say such strong words.

As for whether you believe in those ancient powers, it is a matter of choice.

They know that the Jade Emperor is not willing to trouble them easily, but these words are just a verbal promise, and there are too many loopholes to exploit.

There are so many rules and regulations in heaven, if the truth comes to trouble them in heaven, they can always find excuses.

But they can't do anything. They can't force the Jade Emperor to swear to heaven, right?

If they had this ability, they would not be miserable.

After joining forces to temporarily frighten the big forces like Tianting Xuanmen and Lingshan, they put all their energy into Ancestor Hongyun.

Only by obtaining the Hongmeng Purple Qi and attaining enlightenment and becoming a saint can they truly transcend the world and do whatever they want.

In this matter, Li Anran was just a simple eater and did not participate.

After Jie Jiao rescued Zhao Gongming, he did not come to ask for the Six Soul Flags from him. Instead, he returned directly to Mount Li, sealed the mountain gate, and practiced in seclusion.

This is [-]% true and [-]% false.

Jie Jiao felt that it was true that he had lost face and was trying hard to get back on his feet, but he acted so fiercely, which was probably intentional, hoping to avoid all kinds of troubles in the Three Realms in the future.

After this incident, peace returned to the Three Realms.

It wasn't until the new Jiazi examination started that things started to get lively again.

Because of the incident between Emperor Liujian and Kunpeng, a large number of demons spawned in the three realms.

Many gods were injured or even died because of this, but similarly, there were also many gods who made great achievements in subduing demons and slaying demons during this process, and were rewarded and promoted by heaven.

It can only be said that some are happy and some are sad.

After the Jiazi Examination, the Peach Fair was held as scheduled.

This is the second peach party held after the monkeys caused havoc in the heaven.

At the last Peach Party, Li Anran was unable to attend because he was cooperating with Yang Jian's acting.

This time, it was different.

As a major contributor to the annihilation of the Demon Master's Mansion and one of the three gods of war recognized by the three realms, the Queen Mother arranged Li Anran's seat in front of Jiuyao Xingjun to show that heaven valued him.

Needless to say, Yang Jian is only behind elders such as Sanqing Taiyi Tianzun.

However, these were all expected by the immortals of the Three Realms. What really surprised them was the newly promoted Eight Immortals!
These eight immortals did not become immortals for a long time, and their meritorious deeds were not many, but they were seated very close to each other.

There was a lot of discussion among the immortals in the three realms.

It wasn't until someone pointed out that Lu Dongbin was the reincarnation of Emperor Donghua, and that the other seven immortals also followed suit, that the immortals suddenly realized and no longer had any objections.

Li Anran attended the Peach Fair for the first time, but she had no expectations at all.

In the life of those sinful immortals, he had experienced countless peach gatherings, and even witnessed the famous scene of Zhu Bajie teasing Chang'e.

After going through the cutscenes step by step, Li Anran returned to Tianlao to retreat to meditate on the Six Soul Flags.

But at this moment, an explosive news directly shocked the entire Three Realms.

On the way back to Penglai after participating in the Peach Fair, the Eight Immortals in Shangdong gave up riding clouds on a whim because they drank a lot of wine and chose to cross the East China Sea by water to show off their magical powers.This is nothing.

But in the process, the Eight Immortals somehow came into conflict with the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea. The two sides fought fiercely, and even involved the Dragon Palaces of the West, South and North Seas.

In the end, the Sihai Dragon Clan was defeated. Not only were a large number of dragons, dragons, grandsons, shrimps, soldiers, and crab generals killed, but Lu Dongbin also burned down the East China Sea Dragon Palace.

It is said that half of the water in the East China Sea was boiled at that time, and numerous tribesmen in the Four Seas were killed and injured.

The Eight Immortals sobered up and fled in panic.

When Li Anran heard the news, he was stunned.

He knew that in Taishang Laojun's plan, the Eight Immortals gathered together to sacrifice the Dragon Clan of the Four Seas to resolve the karma and cause and effect on Dongsheng Shenzhou, but he did not expect that it would be so direct and cruel.

The Jade Emperor was naturally furious and immediately sent Li Jing to lead the Bull Demon King and Red Boy to capture the Eight Immortals.

Time flies, half a month has passed.

On this day, Li Anran was meditating on the law of cause and effect in the Tianlao quiet room as always, when he suddenly heard Nezha's shout from outside: "Li Anran! Li Anran!"

Li Anran came out and took a look, and couldn't help but nodded slightly: "Three flowers gathered at the top, and five qi came to the source. It seems that you have stabilized your realm."

"of course!"

Nezha raised his little face and showed the three flowers on his head. He said with joy, "If it weren't for this, how could master let me go down the mountain! How about it? Isn't he handsome?"

Li Anran: "..." I compliment you a few times, but you still get angry!
Li Anran rolled his eyes, and three rays of light suddenly appeared above his head, flowing and converging into a circle. Countless visions were born, so vast that they directly suppressed Nezha's three-flower brilliance.

Li Anran: "Sorry, I have one too."

"Have you really broken through to Daluo Jinxian?"

Nezha's face was full of disbelief, and then he wailed half-truthfully: "The way of heaven is unfair! The way of heaven is unfair! I have practiced hard for so many years and suffered so much, and finally I broke through to Da Luo Jinxian. You stay here every day In the sky prison, how could we catch up in such a short time? This is so unreasonable!"

Yang Jian has always been busy with official duties. Although he and Li Anran were the first to meet each other, they didn't spend much time together.

Only Nezha is relatively free, and does not want to stay in Li Jing's Yunlou Palace. He goes to Tianlao all day long, either drinking and having fun with Li Anran, or competing in martial arts with Li Anran, or drinking and having fun first and then competing in martial arts.

It can be said that Nezha watched Li Anran step by step from a little fairy who couldn't beat the Meishan brothers to where he is today.

However, precisely because he saw it with his own eyes, Nezha found it even more incredible.

Li Anran didn't show that he was extremely talented and unparalleled in luck, but he was able to make breakthroughs quietly but steadily.

Breakthroughs in cultivation are not difficult, but with stability and persistence, it becomes unbelievable.

And Li Anran seems to have no bottlenecks, steadily improving every day, and occasionally surprising you with sudden advances.

Uh……

Why do you think it's not unusual for Li Anran to catch up with me?
Nezha was in a very complicated mood.

In the past, he had always felt that Li Anran's cultivation was too poor, and he was worried that Li Anran would be in danger, so he found a lot of elixirs and flat peaches to improve Li Anran's strength.

Now, Li Anran's strength has caught up with him, and it will obviously surpass him in the future. Why does he feel a little uncomfortable?
Li Anran noticed Nezha's mood, which was a little funny.

Nezha is typical of being both afraid of his brother's hardships and afraid of his brother driving a Land Rover.

However, this also shows that Nezha really treats you as a brother.

Li Anran smiled and said, "You came to see me at the beginning of school today, didn't you just come to show off?"

"I'm not that bored!"

Nezha came back to his senses and said angrily: "Master asked me to come to you to ask you to cooperate with Lao Jun in a play."

Li Anran asked directly: "The Eight Immortals in the Shangdong?"

Nezha nodded, not surprised. Nowadays, the only things that Taishang Laojun can take action personally are the Eight Immortals of Shangdong.

Afterwards, Nezha told what Taishang Laojun wanted Li Anran to do.

This matter also starts with Yang Jian and Li Anran killing Fake Tongtian.

Li Anran and Yang Jian killed Fake Tongtian, the villain in Taishang Laojun's plan, for Nezha. Taishang Laojun had no choice but to choose pangolin as the whetstone for the Eight Immortals.

The pangolin, a boiling goat, was just like the original time and space. After being tested and tortured by the Eight Immortals using various humiliating methods and confirmed that the licking failed, it became angry and began to deliberately retaliate against the Eight Immortals in order to snatch He Xiangu.

Although the pangolin is a boiling sheep, its character, means, qualifications and talents are all outstanding.

Not only did he learn the "Nine Transformations of Xuantian" created by Fake Tongtian, he upgraded his cultivation to Taiyi Golden Immortal, he even innovated the use of demon seeds——

The pangolin sneaked into the eighteenth level of hell in the underworld, refined the demon seeds from the resentful souls and ghosts, and planted them into the bodies of the eight immortals to amplify their respective character flaws of seven emotions and six desires.

It made Tieguai Li extremely sensitive and concerned about appearance, and made Han Zhongli addicted to gambling and unable to extricate himself...

He also framed Lu Dongbin, his love rival, and caused him to fall out with the other Seven Immortals. He acted as the savior, won the favor of He Xiangu, and played with the Eight Immortals.

Seeing that things were getting out of control, Taishang Laojun had to come to the rescue and refine the golden elixir with his own hands to break the evil seed possessed by the Eight Immortals.

Only then did the Eight Immortals suddenly wake up and realize that they had fallen into the pangolin's scheme, so they joined forces and severely injured the pangolin.

However, the pangolin did not give up revenge, but hid in the dark and waited for the opportunity.

When the Eight Immortals returned from the Peach Society and showed their magical powers to cross the East China Sea, he cast a spell to cause turmoil in the water, making the East China Sea restless.

When the Eight Immortals and the Dragon Clan of the Four Seas took action, he once again disguised himself as Lu Dongbin and used the True Fire of Samadhi to burn down the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea, boiling most of the East China Sea and causing endless evil.

Finally, He Xiangu was captured in a sneak attack, leaving the other Seven Immortals no time to explain to the Sihai Dragon Clan and Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals who had misunderstood them.

After a series of operations, the blame was placed directly on the Eight Immortals' heads.

Although the other seven immortals successfully rescued He Xiangu, the incident in the East China Sea has become a foregone conclusion and the evidence is conclusive.

They had no choice but to burn incense in Laojun's temple in the mortal world and beg Laojun for help.

"...You mean that the Eight Immortals want Heavenly Court to pretend to have fallen into the pangolin's scheme, and pretend to capture them and take them to the Immortal Killing Platform to behead them in public, deceiving the pangolin and letting the pangolin get carried away."

"Then let He Xiangu speak out and make the pangolin admit that he did these things? Wasn't it done by the Eight Immortals?"

Li Anran looked at Nezha who nodded seriously, and his mood could only be expressed by a series of ellipses.

What kind of bullshit plan is this!

Not to mention anything else, except that the Jade Emperor is willing to cooperate with you in this drama of fishing and law enforcement, so does the truth still matter?
Isn't this just taking off your pants and farting?
