I am guarding the sky prison in Journey to the West

Chapter 258 The Cultivation of Boiling Sheep
Heavenly Court, Lingxiao Palace.

The Jade Emperor sits high on the stage, majestic and solemn.

All the immortals gathered below, and there was a lot of discussion.

Lu Dongbin was escorted in front of the emperor with his hair tied up and his hair disheveled.

Standing next to him was a young man wrapped in a white scarf and wearing gray clothes. His appearance was quite handsome, but his eyebrows gave people a sinister look, as if a frightened bird was about to run away at any time.

It's the pangolin.

Not far from him, Han Zhongli and the other seven immortals stared at him angrily, wishing they could eat him alive.

Seeing this, the pangolin felt even more happy, its face beaming with joy, and it vividly interpreted the four words "the villain succeeds".

The Jade Emperor said: "Are you the pangolin? Did you catch Lu Dongbin?"

"It's the little demon."

The pangolin showed that he was well prepared and stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, although the pangolin is a little demon in the mortal world, it has always been compassionate and law-abiding. It has never dared to violate the laws of heaven, and it has always wanted to have a chance to return to heaven."

"A month ago, I heard that Lu Dongbin and others were drunk and going on a killing spree in the East China Sea, acting lawlessly, so I secretly traced their whereabouts and wanted to relieve His Majesty's worries."

"But the Eight Immortals are very powerful. The little demon may not be a match, so I can only wait patiently. Until today, the little demon finally found the opportunity and captured Lu Dongbin, escorted him to the heaven, and handed him over to His Majesty..."

"Pangolin, don't rant! It's obviously you who pretended to be Lu Dongbin and did such evil things! Today, you dare to complain first and then bite me!"

"You bastard, we were already trying to kill them, but you had a hand in it. Now in front of His Majesty, you dare to take credit for it! Do you think you can expect it from heaven?"

Before Pangolin finished speaking, two scoldings sounded.

The former comes from the Seven Immortals such as Zhongli of Han Dynasty.

The latter comes from the Bull Demon King Li Jing.

After the incident in the East China Sea, Li Jing was ordered to lead the Bull Demon King and Red Boy down to earth to capture the Eight Immortals.

They finally found the whereabouts of the Eight Immortals and set up a dragnet to surround the Eight Immortals. However, a pangolin suddenly came out, injured Lu Dongbin, and took away the credit for their achievements.

Li Jing wanted to kill the pangolin at that time, but unexpectedly, the pangolin had extraordinary earth-moving skills and escaped directly from the dragnet.

Later, the pangolin grabbed Lu Dongbin and threatened the other seven immortals to surrender, forcing them to fly to Nantianmen to surrender and confess their crimes, which directly alerted the Jade Emperor.

So, there is this scene in front of you.

"Quiet." The Jade Emperor frowned and said dissatisfiedly: "How can we allow you to make noise in this important place of heaven! Let's listen to what he has to say first, and then you can talk."

Han Zhongli, Li Jing and others immediately did not dare to speak anymore and could only step aside angrily.

The pangolin was even more proud and said: "Your Majesty, there is no need to ask anyone else if the little demon has lied. Just ask Lu Dongbin. Lu Dongbin, tell me, is what I said true?"

Lingxiao Palace suddenly became quiet.

Everyone looked at Lu Dongbin.

Lu Dongbin was silent for a moment, and finally spoke: "Lü Dongbin was drunk and impulsive, and made such a big mistake. It has nothing to do with Han Zhongli and others. I am willing to accept any punishment."

After a moment of silence.

Lingxiao Palace was in an uproar.

All the gods looked at Lu Dongbin in disbelief. They never expected that Lu Dongbin would confess his crime so easily!Not even an attempt to defend or refute!
"Lu Dongbin, you are crazy! Do you know what you are talking about?" Tieguai Li stumbled forward, grabbed Lu Dongbin by the collar and asked sternly.

The other six immortals are also in a hurry.

"Lu Dongbin, how much wine did we drink at the Peach Blossom Party? How could we be drunk? The whole thing is obviously that the Dragon King of the East China Sea deliberately caused trouble for us when we were crossing the sea!"

"When the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea caught fire, we were all together, how could you have time to set it on fire?"

"Is that pangolin threatening you? Why do you suddenly take over all the responsibilities?"

……

Han Zhongli and others were all red-faced and excited. Lu Dongbin just bowed his head and knelt there without saying a word.

All the surrounding immortals also had doubts on their faces.

Several gods who owed Lu Dongbin a favor from Emperor Donghua in his previous life also tried to persuade Lu Dongbin to speak up if he had anything to say, and not to show off or be threatened by others.

However, when Lu Dongbin was bitten to death, everything was done by himself without anyone threatening him.

Pangolin looked at all this and became more and more proud: "So what if you are obviously partial to Lu Dongbin? As long as Lu Dongbin doesn't change his story, the evidence is conclusive and no one can overturn the case!"

The pangolin was full of confidence because the thing he used to threaten Lu Dongbin was white peony!
——Lu Dongbin’s love interest!
This identity alone can seal Lu Dongbin's mouth, making it difficult for him to speak!

It is difficult to explain the matter of moving the heart. If he involves Bai Mudan again and misses this life, Bai Mudan may never have the chance to achieve enlightenment and become an immortal!

Lu Dongbin did not dare to take risks.

Thinking of this, the pangolin hated Lu Dongbin even more.

This sanctimonious hypocrite, even though he already has Bai Mudan, still wants to pester the Fairy Girl, damn it!
"pangolin!"

At this moment, a figure who thought about it day and night came into view.

The pangolin's eyes lit up, and a flattering smile appeared on his face subconsciously: "Fairy Girl!"

"Bah! Fairy Girl is what you, a monster like you, can call me!"

He Xiangu's face was full of contempt and contempt, and she yelled angrily: "Pangolin, I thought you had changed your ways, but I didn't expect that you were just pretending!"

Pangolin's expression froze, the corners of his eyes twitched, endless grievances and anger rising from the bottom of his heart.

His eyes turned red, and the ferocious murderous intent inside them was so real that it made people tremble.

"Who said I was just pretending! I also want to be a good person! It's you! It's you who forced me!" the pangolin roared at the top of its lungs.

He Xiangu was overjoyed and said loudly: "If you are determined, how could you not pass such a test? If you have no intention of doing evil, who can force you to pretend to be Lu Dongbin, kill so many dragons and grandsons, and then set them on fire?" Enter the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea!"

The pangolin blurted out: "Is that a test? They just look down on me as a monster, and you look down on me too! I just want Lu Dongbin..."

Suddenly, Pangolin paused in his voice. Seeing the joy that could barely be concealed on He Xiangu's face, he raised a sneer at the corner of his mouth and said word by word: "...the true colors of this kind of evil-doing, unworthy god have been revealed!"

He Xiangu, Tieguai Li and others did not expect that Pangolin would suddenly change his mind at the last moment, and they were all stunned for a moment.

Pangolin said seriously: "Xiangu, I know you want to help Lu Dongbin, and I want to help Lu Dongbin. But, there is no way. He has admitted it himself. He has violated the laws of heaven and has done those things that are harmful to heaven and earth. There is nothing I can do about it."

He turned around and knelt on the ground and said: "Your Majesty, when I was in the mortal world, I heard that the laws of heaven and earth are right. Even gods who violate the laws of heaven should be punished. As a god, Lu Dongbin should have saved all living beings, but he did this. Failure to kill evil deeds is not enough to uphold the laws of heaven."

The Jade Emperor looked at Lu Dongbin: "Lu Dongbin, do you have anything else to say?"

Lu Dongbin said: "I have nothing to say." "Lu Dongbin!"

Han Zhongli and others shouted and knelt down in front of the emperor: "Your Majesty, Lu Dongbin was coerced by others, and what he said did not come from his heart. There is something fishy about this matter. Please look into it clearly."

"Your Majesty..." Other civil and military officials also stepped forward, wanting to intercede for Lu Dongbin.

The Jade Emperor raised his hand to interrupt their words and said: "My dear friends, there is no need to say more. Lu Dongbin has confessed his crime and should be severely punished."

He said to Taibai Jinxing: "Taibai Jinxing, convey my will. Lu Dongbin burned the East China Sea and caused endless killings. He committed a heinous crime. He ordered the prison commander Li Anran to escort him to the Immortal Beheading Platform and behead him in public as a warning. Tieguai Li , Zhongli of the Han Dynasty, He Xiangu and others were accomplices, taking away his immortal status, destroying his cultivation, suffering the pain of thousands of swords piercing his heart, being cast down to the mortal world, and rebuilding his cultivation after all the calamities."

Now that the decree was issued, all the civil and military immortals could not say anything more, so they could only step aside and shake their heads in regret.

Unexpectedly, the pangolin became anxious at this time: "Your Majesty, He Xiangu and the others were just deceived by Lu Dongbin and did not know the truth. Isn't such a punishment a bit too harsh?"

All the civil and military immortals said: "???"

What's happening here?
Why did this monster ask for love from the fairy?

The eyes of the immortals looking at He Xiangu were suddenly a little different.

He Xiangu was furious: "Pangolin, I don't want you to pretend to be kind here! I am willing to be punished!"

The Jade Emperor's face also darkened, and he snorted coldly: "Pangolin, what do I do? It's not your turn to interrupt! I think it's your first time to go to heaven, so I'll spare you this time. Don't blame me next time." You’re welcome! Taibai Jinxing, why don’t you go and deliver the message!”

"The minister obeys the order."

Taibai Jinxing hurriedly accepted the order and asked the heavenly soldiers to escort the Eight Immortals out of the Lingxiao Palace and fly towards the Tianlao.

The pangolin didn't say anything else, but there was a flash of resentment and ferocity in his eyes, and he didn't know what he was planning.

On the other side, Li Anran has also agreed to what Nezha said and agreed to cooperate with the Eight Immortals in performing an execution drama.

After Taibai Jinxing announced the decree, he escorted the Eight Immortals to the Immortal Killing Platform and tied them to the Immortal Killing Pillar.

The Immortal Killing Platform is called Immortal Killing, but it is actually an execution platform. Punishments such as abolition of cultivation and ten thousand swords piercing the heart and striking the mortal world will also be carried out here.

At the same time, in the Lingxiao Palace.

The Jade Emperor also asked people to take out the Haotian Mirror and hang it in mid-air. The mirror surface circulated and revealed the situation on the Immortal Killing Platform.

In the words of the Jade Emperor, it was to let all the gods see the consequences of violating the rules of heaven, but in fact it was also to deceive the pangolin.

"This acting skill needs to be improved!"

Li Anran stood on the Immortal-Slaying Platform and glanced at the Seven Immortals below.

Everyone looked sad and angry, as if they wanted to rush to save Lu Dongbin.

However, the emotions are too fake and the expressions are too exaggerated!
It means that the pangolin is still in the Lingxiao Palace, otherwise it would be easy to see the flaw!
Sensing the prying eyes of Haotian Mirror, Li Anran knew it was time to start.

The biggest feeling in his heart was that the great powers of the three realms worked really hard to eliminate karma and resolve the catastrophe!
In the past, the Jade Emperor cooperated with the Tathagata to plot against the monkeys, causing the monkeys to cause a disturbance in the Heavenly Palace of the Peach Fair.

Later, gods and Buddhas all over the sky cooperated with Tang Monk to learn scriptures from the west, and put on a good show.

Now, the Jade Emperor is cooperating with the Eight Immortals, and more importantly, the Taishang Laojun who plans the Dongsheng Shenzhou, and he does not hesitate to fake an execution to deceive this mere pangolin. He has given enough face!
Li Anran is increasingly looking forward to the plot of the sequel to Journey to the West starting soon.

Judging from the current situation, these four human-induced catastrophes have indeed significantly reduced the karma between heaven and earth, delaying the approaching catastrophe of heaven and earth for nearly a thousand years.

Such a result is enough for the gods and Buddhas in the sky to cooperate with Tathagata to act as prisoners, giving Tathagata and Wutian a stage for gambling.

Li Anran thought this in his heart, but the movements of his hands did not stop.

First, he took out a beheading knife and chopped off Lu Dongbin's head.

When Lu Dongbin's soul flew out of the corpse, he scattered it with a palm.

The whole process is extremely realistic!

Taishang Laojun will ask him to help perform this scene.

One is because he is good at the art of transformation and can deceive pangolins.

The second is to show him goodwill.

Acting out this fake execution is not only risk-free, but also earns the gratitude of the Eight Immortals. At the same time, you can participate in the calamity and gain merit.

It's the same reason as when so many gods and bodhisattvas sent their mounts down to earth on the way to seek Buddhist scriptures in the West, and then they went to help Master Tang Monk and his disciples succumb to demons.

Li Anran didn't care about this merit, but Taiyi Tianzun had already agreed to the matter, so he didn't say anything more.

It's just a small thing, it takes a little effort.

According to the plan set by the Eight Immortals, the pangolin once obtained a wordless heavenly book. There is a motto in the heavenly book: "There is love in the world, and the Eight Immortals gather together for justice; kill demons and eliminate demons, and clear the world."——

That's right, it was used by Taishang Laojun to deceive Tongtian, and he gave it to the pangolin intact!

The key is, the pangolin believed it too!

Thinking that only the Eight Immortals are his nemesis and can get rid of him!
After the Heavenly Court executes Lu Dongbin and destroys the cultivation of the other Seven Immortals, the pangolin will inevitably get carried away and have no scruples!

When the time comes, they can lead the pangolin to tell the truth about everything and clear their name!
Li Anran: "..." Why are there proverbs in the Wordless Heavenly Book?

After all, Pangolin is a Taiyi Golden Immortal, so why would he believe such nonsense as the proverb about the number of days?

Li Anran was speechless.

But, it doesn't matter!

After all, the monkey thought he almost penetrated the entire heaven, so it’s no surprise that the pangolin was fooled!
He is just an emotionless acting tool!
hum!
Li Anran squeezed the magic formula with his hand, and countless white lights flew out, forming a sea of ​​swords in the void.

But at this moment, Li Anran's eyes moved slightly, as if he noticed something, and the torture movement slowed down.

Swish!
A dark purple light suddenly appeared and rushed straight towards the Immortal Killing Platform.

Click!Click!Click!

The chains tied to He Xiangu's body were broken.

Dark purple light stopped beside her.

"Xiangu, don't be afraid! I'm here to save you!"

The person speaking is none other than Boi...

Phew, it’s a pangolin!
