I am guarding the sky prison in Journey to the West

Chapter 281 Ancestral Dragon
Abyss of darkness.

Wutian casually sat on the World-Destroying Black Lotus and listened to the reports of the demons.

The black robe took the lead to step forward, with a look of pride and excitement on his face: "Buddha, since the death of the demon master Kunpeng, the demons in the three realms have been rampant and in chaos. Ying Yao and I followed the orders of the Black Lotus Holy Envoy, and Dabuzhou established 760 two strongholds to accommodate the mortals and people who suffered disasters. Now 130 seven temples have been built for the Buddha, and the incense is flourishing."

Not to be outdone, the giant scorpion followed closely: "Buddha, under the orders of the Black Lotus Holy Envoy, I recruited demons and spirits from all over the three realms, bound them with tight hoops, and trained them rigorously. Now, I have practiced 23 two There are elite demon soldiers scattered throughout the three realms, and they can attack Lingshan at any time with just an order from the Buddha."

The six spirit generals also spoke one after another, recounting their achievements: "The six of us, under the orders of the Black Lotus Holy Envoy, took advantage of the turmoil in the world to recruit many low-level mountain god lands..."

……

Wutian nodded from time to time, his face full of approval and satisfaction.

This approval and satisfaction is not only for the monsters in front of me, but also for the monkeys!
At first, the monkey strictly controlled the demons and ghosts under his command, causing a large number of demons to die or escape.

The black-robed Ying Yao and others complained a lot, and even suspected that the monkey was a spy sent by Tathagata to weaken their power.

Even if he used thunderous means and strictly ordered the demons to treat the monkeys the same way they treated him, the demons were still dissatisfied, and no one was talking behind their backs.

But now, Monkey's original plan has begun to bear fruit, and his power has doubled in the form of a snowball.

The attitude of Heipao and others also changed 180 degrees. They spoke of the Black Lotus Holy Envoy, and their attitude was extremely respectful.

Wutian said: "You must remember to follow the instructions of the Black Lotus Holy Envoy, do things step by step, act steadily, and don't act too hastily."

The black robe and others responded in unison: "Disciple, I obey."

Wutian nodded, and when he was about to say something else, his heart suddenly moved, and he raised his head slightly. If he felt something, he then changed his words and said, "Okay, please step back later."

"Yes." Heipao and others immediately left.

Shortly after they left, the void became distorted, and a figure appeared in front of Wutian.

It was Li Anran!
"Fellow Taoist's mastery of the way of space has become more and more sophisticated!" Wutian praised.

"Buddha Wutian thanked you." Li Anran said modestly and straight to the point: "I came here today to tell the Buddha something..."

Later, Li Anran told Wu Tian everything about Tathagata's plan to convince the gods and Buddhas of the three realms to let him rule for 33 years.

Wutian's expression suddenly changed. First he was surprised and disbelieving, and then gradually turned into embarrassment and anger: "Little Tathagata! How dare you underestimate me like this!"

Wutian has always regarded Tathagata as his biggest opponent, and also felt that he was Tathagata's biggest threat. He never thought that Tathagata would look down on him so much and give him the power to rule the three realms, not to mention that he would be reincarnated as a soul boy.

Wutian felt humiliated.

Li Anran: What a shame!After giving you such a great situation, you lose in the end, that is the real humiliation!

Li Anran complained in his heart, but comforted him: "Buddha Wutian, there is no need to be angry. Tathagata is good at calculations. If he is willing to offer such conditions, he will definitely make corresponding demands. If nothing unexpected happens, he will definitely I will make a fuss about the gambling content.”

The Tathagata only talked about the reincarnated soul boy, not the seventeen relics, so Li Anran could only give a vague reminder.

"Thank you for the reminder, fellow daoist."

Wutian thanked him, but he didn't think so in his heart.

He understood everything Li Anran said, but even so, Tathagata still looked down upon him too much!

If Tathagata could really convince the gods and Buddhas of the three realms to surrender the three realms for 33 years, he would be reincarnated as a soul boy!
He really couldn't figure out how to lose in this situation!
When Li Anran saw this, he stopped trying to persuade him.

Wutian seems to be approachable, but in fact he is extremely conceited.

That's all!
He is obviously the villain of the Three Realms, but he is also soft-hearted and more disciplined than anyone else!

This soft-heartedness and rule-abiding are not only for your opponents, but also for your enemies!

In the original time and space, Wutian repeatedly showed mercy to Monkey and Tang Monk. He watched Monkey's master and apprentice gather the gods and Buddhas of the three realms around him, and finally completed the counterattack against him, turning the situation around bit by bit.

If he doesn’t lose, no one will lose!
Of course, this may also be part of the bet between Wutian and Tathagata!

The Tathagata is reincarnated as a soul boy, and Wu Tian cannot do anything at will!
Neither side takes action personally, they just lay out their plans and let their subordinates decide the outcome!
Li Anran is not sure about this, but...

Do you have to abide by the bet you make?
You are the villain!

The outcome determines not only one's belonging to the Buddhist world, but also one's own life and death!

At this time, if you don’t fall out and refuse to admit your fault, when will you fall out and refuse to admit your fault?

There is another possibility, that is, the reincarnation of Tathagata is fake!
He can return to himself at any time!

Wutian dare not take action!

"If this is the case, my second brother and I will have to change our plans!"

Li Anran's mind was full of thoughts, and he continued to say: "If the Tathagata wants to use the Buddha's life to prove the truth, he will definitely find a way to advance the fight. I am here today to ask the Buddha if there is anything he needs me to do. Yes, if you make more preparations, you will have a better chance of winning."

Wutian waved his hand and said: "Fellow Taoist can tell me Tathagata's plan, which has already helped me a lot. Everything else is trivial. Wukong and I can solve it. You can just go back to heaven and wait for my news." When the time comes, we will still need the full help of fellow Taoists.”

Wutian said this not entirely out of arrogance, but partly because Li Anran was a disciple of Xuanmen!

He and Tathagata were competing for the position of the Buddha's World Honored One, and he asked Li Anran to participate, mainly in exchange for the support of Taiyi Tianzun and Xuanmen.

Wutian's original intention was not to let Xuanmen get too involved in this matter.

Li Anran understood Wutian's thoughts and asked this question just to show his attitude.

Now that the Three Realms are still in the hands of Heaven, if he really did something for Wutian and was found out, it would be troublesome!

"In that case, I won't disturb Buddha."

Li Anran gave a salute, and his figure gradually faded and disappeared into the void.

After watching Li Anran leave, Wutian closed his eyes and immersed his mind in the World-Destroying Black Lotus.

They are both twelfth-grade lotuses, but the World-Destroying Black Lotus is different from other lotuses.

To be more precise, the World-Destroying Black Lotus is different to Wutian than other lotuses are to their owners.

The former is the soul, and the latter is the magic weapon!

The twelve-grade lotus platform will bear a lotus seed every ten thousand years. When the lotus seeds grow up, they will turn into the six-grade lotus platform.

After other lotus terraces give birth to the sixth-grade lotus platform, the sixth-grade lotus platform is equivalent to an independent magic weapon, and there is almost no connection with the original twelve-grade lotus platform.Wutian's soul Black Lotus is different!

The sixth-grade lotus platform where the Yuan Shen Black Lotus was born is equivalent to a clone-like existence.

As long as Wu Tian is willing, he can sense the location of Zilian Terrace at any time and use Zilian Terrace to manifest his soul.

When Wutian closed his eyes, the world-destroying black lotus in the monkey's arms flew out, casting a dark purple light, revealing Wutian's figure.

"This is...the ancestral land of the Dragon Clan?"

Wutian was originally going to tell the monkey about Tathagata and discuss what they should do next, but as soon as he came out, he noticed something was wrong with the surrounding environment.

Above the head was a blue sky, with ripples washing away, and countless dragon souls circling, emitting bursts of dragon roars that resounded throughout the world.

These dragon souls seem to be surrounding a huge mountain range, but if you zoom in infinitely higher, you will find that the mountain range is actually a huge dragon lying on the ground.

However, this giant dragon is so big that just one scale is as big as a mountain.

Those dragon souls that are thousands of feet long are like inconspicuous mist surrounding it.

not good!

Wutian noticed that Youlonghun seemed to be aware of the movement on their side, looked towards them, and hurriedly made a magic spell to cover up his body and aura.

Then, he looked at the giant dragon lying on the ground with fear, and then he felt relieved after confirming that there was almost no breath in it.

It's not that he is worried, but because this petrified nine-clawed golden dragon is the ancestral dragon of the Dragon Clan!
Although it has been between life and death for countless years, the terrible reputation it gained back then still makes everyone who knows it fearful!
"Wukong, why are you here?" Wutian couldn't help but ask.

……

at the same time.

As soon as Li Anran returned to the Heavenly Prison, he learned from the heavenly soldiers on duty that Li Jing was imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison. After everything was investigated, his cultivation would be abolished and he would be thrown into reincarnation.

Only then did Li Anran notice that there was more information about Li Jing in the punishment book.

[Prisoner: Li Jing, the King of Tota]

[Sin value: two and a half stars]

【Cultivation: Golden Immortal Sixth Layer】

[Status: in custody]

【Participation in arrest: 1%】

[Experience value: 16000 points/day]

Li Anran casually opened Li Jing's life and checked it.

The first half of Li Jing's life was lackluster. He was born in a family of non-commercial cultivators. He followed his parents to practice Taoism since he was a child. He finally became a disciple of Du'e, a non-common cultivator in West Kunlun, and became an outer disciple. Because of his poor talent, it was difficult for him to achieve immortality. , can only go down the mountain to assist King Zhou and enjoy the wealth and honor of the world.

With the help of the luck of the Yin and Shang Dynasties, his cultivation level barely broke through to the realm of transforming the void and combining the Tao, but it ended there, and he made no progress for several years.

Frustrated, Li Jing married the Yin family, the daughter of a Shang Dynasty nobleman, breaking Yuanyang's body and completely giving up the immortal way.

Unexpectedly, after getting married and having a son, he changed his life unexpectedly and his luck skyrocketed!

Jin Zha!

Mu Zha!

Nezha!

The three sons were all born according to the fate of heaven and earth, and they came to meet the destiny.

He was successively accepted as a disciple by Manjusri Guangfa Tianzun, Puxian Zhenren, and Taiyi Zhenren, three of the Twelve Immortals of Chanjiao who he had not even had the chance to meet once in the past!
Li Jing had ordinary cultivation and few martial arts, but he relied on these three sons to become one of the seven people who became a saint in the catastrophe of the Conferred Gods. He was also accepted as a disciple by the deputy leader of the Chan Sect, Taoist Ran Deng!
And after Ran Deng Manjusri and Samantabhadra converted to Lingshan, Li Jing's status not only did not decrease, but actually increased!

He is one of the few people in the Three Realms who has a connection with both the Buddhist and Taoist heavens, and he is also a great connection!
Because of this, Li Jing naturally jumped from being the King of Tota on par with the Demon brothers to becoming the Demon-Conquering Grand Marshal!
Even after suffering two consecutive defeats at Monkey's side, his status did not waver at all. He was the most powerful person in heaven at that time, second only to the God of Justice, Yang Jian!

Yang Jian represents Xuanmen in heaven, and Li Jing represents Buddhism!

Since then, Li Jing has been tit-for-tat with Yang Jian, but he has always been at a disadvantage and was easily suppressed by Yang Jian!
The only time Yang Jian had the upper hand and temporarily took over the position of the God of Justice was when Yang Jian offended the Jade Emperor because of the golden-winged roc eagle.

And even this time, Li Jing was only a short-term replacement for Yang Jian. After Yang Jian returned to heaven, he retreated again.

The Jade Emperor saw that Li Jing was so useless and left Yang Jian's family alone, so he brought the Wudang Mother, the Queen Mother and even the old man into the court.

——The more forces there are, the more complicated they become, so he can sit firmly on the Diaoyutai and balance the situation!
As the Incompetent Mother, Queen Mother, and Laojun entered the center of power in heaven one after another, Li Jing's status suddenly dropped from the second most powerful figure to the fifth or sixth.

Coupled with the fact that Nezha's cultivation level had reached the level of Daluo Jinxian, Li Jing's sense of crisis became more and more serious, and he began to think of ways to show his usefulness to Buddhism.

To cover up the crimes of Buddhist Vajra, he killed thousands of mortals and silenced them.

Just one of many things he did.

It wasn't until a few days ago that Nezha took him to the Mongolian Realm by chance and found those innocent souls, and everything was exposed.

After Li Jing learned about this from Zhi Jian, he hurriedly fled to Yuanjue Cave in Lingjiu Mountain to find Ran Deng for help. However, he was thrown out as an abandoned child and was captured by Nezha himself and taken back to the Heavenly Court and imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison.

There was nothing useful in Li Jing's life.

Li Anran only read it once and had no interest in opening it again.

The only thing he paid attention to was Li Laosi, Guo Laowu, and Zhi Laoliu from the Meishan Brothers.

In the original time and space, in order to shoulder all the sins on one person, Yang Jian deliberately used a very crude plot to design the Meishan brothers, so that the Meishan brothers would find out and make him betray his relatives.

Before that, the Meishan brothers could be said to be loyal to Yang Jian, helping him deal with various matters, including the pursuit of the third holy mother's son Chenxiang.

From this point of view, in the original time and space, the Meishan Brotherhood betrayed Yang Jian, and Yang Jian must bear at least half of the responsibility!
That's why Li Anran didn't take this matter to heart, thinking that everything in this world was completely different, and nothing in the original time and space would happen.

Unexpectedly, after the fourth, fifth and sixth of the Meishan brothers left Yang Jian and experienced the feeling of holding power, they degenerated much faster than in the original time and space!
Li Jing persuaded them with just some sugar-coated bullets, and under the guise of being good for Nezha, he did what Nezha hated the most!

"Second brother values ​​love and righteousness. The three of them staying here are a hidden danger after all! We have to find a way to get rid of them, at least we can't let them come out and make people disgusting again!"

Li Anran was thoughtful and soon came up with an idea.
