I am guarding the sky prison in Journey to the West

Chapter 263
Wealth and silk touch people's hearts, not to mention the Hongmeng Purple Qi that is related to enlightenment!
Li Anran, Yang Jian, and Nezha are all direct descendants of the Three Purities of Xuanmen, so they must know the preciousness and usage of Hongmeng Purple Qi better than others.

In the view of Ancestor Hongyun, there is no other possibility for them to suddenly appear here except to covet the Hongmeng Purple Qi.

More importantly, he only realized there was someone outside when he used the Nine-Nine Soul-Removing Gourd to collect Qiongqi to trigger the roar of the red wind.

He was not sure when Li Anran and the others came and how much they heard.

Ancestor Hongyun clenched the Suixin Jade Ruyi tightly, his eyes flickering, hesitating whether to strike first.

He had seen the scene when Li Anran and Yang Jian fought against Kunpeng, and he knew how powerful the two were. Nezha was as famous as the two of them. They were both Da Luo Jinxian, so they must not be weak.

In addition, his Nine-Nine Soul-Removing Gourd contains Qiongqi sealed inside and cannot be used.

If he didn't seize the opportunity and sneak attack and wound one or two of them, he might not even have a chance to escape.

Li Anran was the most sensitive to changes in emotions. He noticed Patriarch Hongyun's murderous intention almost instantly. His eyes turned cold and he directly held the diamond file with his right hand.

Li Anran was not surprised at all by the scene before him.

In the face of interests, father, son and brothers can turn against each other!

What does the weak friendship between him and Ancestor Hongyun mean?
Li Anran was not prepared to explain to Patriarch Hongyun.

These four words Hongmeng Ziqi are destined to be difficult to explain!

Not to mention, ancestor Hongyun was plotted by Kunpeng because of Hongmeng Purple Qi, and Qiongqi was plotted by Hongmeng Purple Qi!

There was no way he could trust anyone when it came to Hongmeng Ziqi!

"Brother Li Anran!"

Yang Jian was equally sensitive to murderous intent, but he stretched out his hand to stop Li Anran, shook his head to signal him not to do anything, and said to Patriarch Hongyun: "Fellow Hongyun, although Hongmeng Purple Qi is precious, not everyone has it. Everyone will be greedy for it. We are here only to capture Qiongqi back to heaven, and have nothing to do with Hongmeng Ziqi."

Yang Jian's tone was sincere, but Patriarch Hongyun didn't believe it at all, and instead became more vigilant.

This is how he deceived Qiongqi just now!
Ancestor Hongyun said: "Yang Jian, you mean that none of the three of you are interested in Hongmeng Purple Qi?"

Yang Jian heard the tone of Patriarch Hongyun, and a flash of helplessness flashed in his eyes, but he still nodded and said: "Exactly."

Sure enough, Patriarch Hongyun sneered and said: "Yang Jian, you said that you alone are not interested in Hongmeng Purple Qi, there is still a slight possibility! But you said that all three of you are not interested in Hongmeng Purple Qi? Do you think I am? A three-year-old?"

"Hongyun, you think too highly of yourself!"

Before Yang Jian could speak, Nezha couldn't help it anymore.

He had a bad temper and was wary of being treated as a thief by Ancestor Hongyun. He was already impatient. Hearing what Ancestor Hongyun said, he walked up directly and said, "If we take a fancy to the Hongmeng Purple Qi in your hand, what do you think?" Just you, can you still hide it?"

Ancestor Hongyun looked stiff, but he had never been humiliated by someone, especially a junior, pointing his nose at him like this!
Nezha was not polite, snorted coldly, and continued: "Also, put away your broken Ruyi. Do you think you can plot against us after plotting against that stupid tiger?"

Ancestor Hongyun's face turned green and white, and veins appeared on the palm of his hand that was holding Suixin Ruyi, but he finally put it away.

The key to a sneak attack is the word "steal". If someone discovers it in advance and is prepared, the sneak attack will be meaningless!
"What do you want?" Ancestor Hongyun looked ugly.

Since Nezha saw him scheming against Qiongqi, he should have heard his conversation with Qiongqi and knew that he knew the whereabouts of Hongmeng Ziqi.

Ancestor Hongyun regretted extremely. He should not have said so much to Qiongqi just now, he should have taken action earlier!

Suspecting that Hongmeng Purple Qi is in his hands and confirming that he knows the whereabouts of Hongmeng Purple Qi are completely different concepts!

When Nezha saw the look on Hongyun's ancestor's face, he guessed what he was thinking, and curled his lips disdainfully: "It seems that no one cares about your Hongmeng Purple Qi! Humph, you have had it in your hands for so many years, and I haven't seen you prove it. The Tao becomes holy! He is like a bereaved dog hiding in hiding!"

Ancestor Hongyun puffed his beard and glared in anger, his face turned red and he almost couldn't breathe.

"Why are you staring! Did I say something wrong?"

Nezha glared back and urged impatiently: "Didn't my second brother just say that we are here for that stupid tiger! Please hand him over to us quickly, and we will leave now! It will save you money. What's wrong with you?"

"Brother Nezha, Fellow Taoist Hongyun is a senior, don't be so rude to him!"

Yang Jian scolded Nezha calmly and said, "Fellow Taoist Hongyun, since this Qiongqi entered the Three Realms, he has killed a large number of living beings, taken away their souls and turned them into ghosts, and he just killed Hulushan The land he belongs to is a heinous crime. Please hand him over to us, escort him back to heaven, and deal with him in accordance with heaven's rules."

"Are you really here for Qiongqi?" Ancestor Hongyun was dubious.

Yang Jian said: "It's absolutely true. Fellow Daoist Hongyun handed Qiongqi to us, and we left immediately, and we will never tell anyone what happened during this time."

After a pause, he added: "If Yang Jian has the slightest lie, he will strike me with lightning and I will never be reincarnated."

"Second brother!" Nezha and Li Anran were both shocked.

The person who has a greater influence on heaven and earth will attract the attention of heaven, and the vows made will be easier to fulfill!

Therefore, no cultivator will make an oath at will.

Not only was he afraid that he would be punished by God for accidentally breaking his oath, but he was even more afraid that someone would deliberately set him up to break his oath!

During the Catastrophe of Conferring Gods, Yin Jiao and Yin Hong were born with the luck of the emperor to protect their bodies. Even when Empress Nuwa wanted to take revenge on King Zhou who wrote obscene poems and blasphemed her, they were blocked by their luck and could only send Xuanyuan to the tomb. The nine-tailed demon fox sisters, who were infected with the aura of the Human Emperor, went to cause trouble to King Zhou.

As a result, because they swore a poisonous oath when Guangchengzi and Akajiko rescued them, they were framed by Xiqi and died under the fulfillment of their oaths.

Yang Jian and Nezha both witnessed this with their own eyes.

Unexpectedly, Yang Jian made such an oath today for the Hongyun Ancestor who posed no threat to them.

"Two worthy brothers, I have my own plan."

Yang Jian comforted Li Anran and Nezha, then turned to look at Ancestor Hongyun.

Ancestor Hongyun didn't expect that Yang Jian would do this, and he became more and more confused, wondering what Yang Jian was planning.

However, he noticed that the eyes of Li Anran and Nezha beside him had changed, and he did not dare to say anything more.

"You come with me."

Ancestor Hongyun chanted a spell, threw the Nine-Nine Soul-Removing Gourd into the air, took off the talisman and gourd plug sealed on it, and jumped in.

Yang Jian nodded towards Li Anran and said to Nezha: "Brother Nezha, wait for us outside. We will go back as soon as we go."

"Okay." Nezha nodded in agreement and held the Qiankun Circle in his hand. He was not only a protector, but also ready to smash the gourd to save others at any time.

Later, Li Anran and Yang Jian also jumped into the Nine-Nine Soul-Scattering Gourd.The Nine-Nine Soul-Spreading Gourd has the effect of absorbing mustard seeds for a moment. On the outside, it looks like the size of a palm, but inside it is something else. You can't see the boundary at a glance, and can only see the whistling red wind wrapped in purple sand.

In the middle of Gangfeng, also in the middle of the gourd, a piece of red flame was burning.

Qiongqi crouched in the flames, his white wings surging with light, forming a shield of light to protect his body underneath.

No matter how big the flames outside were, they couldn't break through the light shield at all. All you could hear was the hissing sound of the flames and the light shield consuming each other.

When Ancestor Hongyun saw that only Yang Jian and Li Anran came in, he gave up the last thought of killing people and said in a cold voice: "He is right there! Go and catch him yourself!"

But he was full of resentment and did not dispel the flames in the gourd or teach Yang Jian and Li Anran how to control fire.

Li Anran said: "Second brother, you hold the battle for me, and I will catch him."

Not only did he want to improve the capture rate and increase the experience gains brought by Qiongqi, but he also worried about Patriarch Hongyun and asked Yang Jian to keep an eye on him here to prevent Patriarch Hongyun from making any small moves again.

Ancestor Hongyun also saw what Li Anran was thinking. He snorted coldly and stood aside, watching Li Anran approach Qiongqi coldly.

The little friendship between the two parties before is now...

No, it should be said that it ceased to exist when Patriarch Hongyun had murderous intentions towards Li Anran and the others, and now only hostility and wariness remain.

hum!
Li Anran held the Fire Avoidance Technique with his hand, and a light red light envelope enveloped his body.

The same spell has completely different effects in the hands of different people!

Li Anran has a system and is extremely good at the Five Elements spells.

Correspondingly, his attainments in the magic of avoiding fire, water, wind and dust are also extremely profound!
With Li Anran's fire avoidance technique, even the real fire of Samadhi can be isolated, but...

call!
Under the blessing of the red wind, the flames rolled and rolled directly through Li Anran's fire shield and burned towards Li Anran.

Li Anran dodged and avoided the wave of fire, then stretched his finger forward and lifted it gently.

A small handful of flames fell on Li Anran's fingertips. It did not spread or dissipate. Instead, it seeped directly in like water.

"I see."

Within a moment, a look of surprise appeared on Li Anran's face.

The red flame in the Nine-Nine Soul-Removing Gourd looks like a flame, but in fact it is the flame of the heart. It uses the seven emotions and six desires of the living being as a guide to ignite the soul as a flame. It is not a real flame. The fire-avoiding technique is naturally of no use!
To deal with it, what is needed is a clear mind!
And this is what Li Anran is best at!
Li Anran put away his fire avoidance skills and walked towards Qiongqi.

The flames burned blazingly and were so powerful that they drowned him in an instant, but they seemed to be just a shadow, passing through his body without hurting him at all.

"Brother Li Anran is so courageous!" Yang Jian couldn't help but admire.

Ancestor Hongyun had a gloomy face and said nothing.

Because what Yang Jian said is indeed right!

There are only a few people in this world who can discover the secret of this flame.

And after discovering it, there are even fewer people who can firmly believe that they are right and dare to suppress all distracting thoughts and let the flames burn!
At least neither Kunpeng nor Qiongqi can do it!
Kunpeng is cautious and unwilling to take risks.

Qiongqi didn’t notice it at all!
Although he used his wings to protect his body and temporarily resisted the burning of the flames, as long as he still had distracting thoughts in his heart and thought about resistance, revenge, and escape, the flames would never go out. Sooner or later, the flames would never go out. Can burn him to death!

but……

What should you do next?
You can now resist the burning flames without any distracting thoughts.

But wait, when you want to take Qiongqi away, can you still have no distracting thoughts?

And this Qiongqi is not made of mud, it will be at your disposal!
Ancestor Hongyun showed a sneer at the corner of his mouth, with a bit of a look at the excitement in his eyes.

At this moment, Yang Jian's voice suddenly sounded in his ears.

"Fellow Daoist Hongyun, do you think that Li Anran can approach Qiongqi without any distracting thoughts, but it is absolutely impossible to catch him without any distracting thoughts?"

Ancestor Hongyun: "!!!"

Ancestor Hongyun was startled, but with a nonchalant look on his face, he snorted coldly: "I only promise to hand over Qiongqi to you. Whether or not you can capture him is your business and has nothing to do with me. I don't care. How about him."

Yang Jian did not expose the words of Patriarch Hongyun and continued: "I wonder if Fellow Taoist Hongyun is interested in making a bet with me?"

Without waiting for Hongyun Ancestor to speak, Yang Jian directly talked about the content of the bet: "If Li Anran can't catch Qiongqi without distractions and set him on fire, I will lose. I can help you find a hiding place, I guarantee you a hundred years of peace of mind.”

Ancestor Hongyun's pupils shrank suddenly, and he could no longer maintain his apparent calmness.

His layout in Calabash Mountain was seen through by Qiongqi, and the stone paintings on the walls were also destroyed. There was no way he could continue to hide here.

Even if he restores everything to the original state, there will definitely be holes left and people will discover it.

Not to mention Yang Jian's guarantee that he would be worry-free for a hundred years, even ten years or even one year would be able to relieve his urgent need and allow him to find another hiding place.

Ancestor Hongyun asked: "Is there really such a place?"

Yang Jian said: "Tianlao."

Ancestor Hongyun was startled, and then his eyes widened.

After Kunpeng's death, the ancient powerful men in Zixiao Palace were like rabbits and foxes, grieving for their lips and teeth, and they gathered together just to fight against the heaven!
If he could disguise himself as a prisoner and hide in the sky prison, with Yang Jian and Li Anran as cover, no one would be able to discover him!
Ancestor Hongyun suppressed the excitement in his heart and said, "What if I lose?"

Yang Jian said: "You are not allowed to leave the heavenly prison for ten thousand years."

Ancestor Hongyun was startled and looked puzzled.

Yang Jian said calmly: "I don't want anyone to become a saint, at least not within ten thousand years. I can swear to heaven that I will never leak the news that you are in the prison to anyone."

Ancestor Hongyun looked at Yang Jian in surprise.

After all, this Yang Jian is also a dignified justice god and a great Luo Jinxian. Why is he like a madman, opening and closing his mouth to swear to the law of heaven?
But, on second thought, what does this have to do with him?
To him, ten thousand years is just the blink of an eye. Whether he wins or loses the bet, he has earned it!
Losing is even more beneficial than winning!

He can just hide in the sky prison and study the Hongmeng Purple Qi!
Ancestor Hongyun immediately smiled and said: "Okay, I'll be next in this bet!"

Yang Jian also showed a faint smile: "It's a deal."
