I am guarding the sky prison in Journey to the West

Chapter 282
Heavenly Court, Tianhui Palace.

Yunjin Hall.

Waves of aromas of wine and meat continued to float out.

Tian Huixingjun, also the straight and straight sixth among the Meishan brothers, was already red in the face, ears red, and tongue-tied from drinking.

However, this did not affect him at all, or rather made him complain more unscrupulously to Li Laosi and Guo Laowu, venting his dissatisfaction.

"Fourth brother, fifth brother, it's not that I'm honest and pretentious, second... Then Yang Jian said that Nezha trusted me and told me about Li Jing. I failed Nezha? Oh, didn't I think about Nezha?"

"He Yang Jian is the supreme god of justice and doesn't need to care about anyone. What about Nezha? He doesn't even look at what the gods of the three realms have scolded Nezha during this period!"

Li Laosi also drank a lot, but he still remained somewhat sober. Hearing this, he frowned slightly and said, "Sixth Li, you drank too much! Stop talking, I'll help you go back and rest!"

"I didn't drink too much!"

Zhi Laoliu pushed Li Laosi's hand away, his expression becoming more and more aggrieved and indignant: "Fourth brother, I, Zhi Jian, am also a dignified 36 Tiangang Divine General, and a well-known figure in the entire three realms! He, Yang Jian, is doing that in front of Too much of a colleague, he didn't give me any face at all, and scolded me like crazy! He really regards us as his slaves!"

"Lao Liu!" Li Laosi was startled, his drunkenness dissipated a little in an instant, and he shouted in a low voice, trying to stop Nao Jian.

Guo Laowu on the side was a little confused.

Unlike Li Laosi and Zhi Laoliu who valued power, Guo Laowu was a martial arts idiot and came to heaven to serve as an official.

First, because there are many generals in heaven, he can always find people with similar strength to compete with him in martial arts. Second, he has the best relationship with Li Laosi among the Meishan brothers, so he follows Li Laosi as a deputy general guarding the heavenly palace. .

At this time, when he heard Zhi Laoliu complaining and accusing Yang Jian, he was immediately stunned, and he was still a little confused about what was going on.

"What's wrong? Is he the only one allowed to do this and not me?"

Not only did Naoken not stop, his tone became more and more resentful, and he continued: "Li Jing just killed some mortals. Which of us doesn't have [-] lives on our hands? He, Yang Jian, killed fewer people? To put it bluntly, , just to gain Li Jing’s authority and to win over Li Jing..."

"enough!"

Li Laosi interrupted Naoken's words sternly, stood up and walked to the window, looked around, and after making sure that no one was there, he breathed a sigh of relief, closed the window tightly, and said in a low voice: "Lao Liu, you Do you know what you are talking about?"

"Fourth brother, you don't have to be like this! I'm just saying this for Yang Jian!"

Nao Jian shouted at the top of his lungs: "Why did Yang Jian secure his position as the God of Justice because our brothers were running around day and night? Later, they found that we were no longer needed, so they tried their best to kick us away. They even pretended to ask us what we wanted to do.”

Lao Wu couldn't help but said: "Lao Liu, you are wrong! The second master asked us what we wanted to do in the future when he offended the Jade Emperor and was dismissed from his post as the God of Justice! He didn't want to drag us down!"

"Afraid of dragging us down?"

Naoken sneered and said, "You are the only one who believes this, Fifth Brother! Ask Fourth Brother, what does he think?"

Guo Laowu turned his head and looked at Li Laosi.

Li Laosi frowned slightly and remained silent.

Naoken laughed: "I knew you could see it, Fourth Brother! How many days did it take for Yang Jian to be demoted to earth? Less than three months! For most of the time, he was putting on airs and blackmailing the Jade Emperor. , deliberately not going to heaven!"

"With Yang Jian's mind, he wouldn't have guessed that Heaven cannot live without him and that he will return to Heaven sooner or later? He just took this opportunity to kick us away and severed ties with us!"

Guo Laowu couldn't accept it: "Fourth brother, it's not like this, right? Second master, he is not such a person!"

Li Laosi was silent for a moment and then said: "No matter what. If it weren't for Yang Jian, we wouldn't be in the Immortal Class."

Li Laosi did not answer directly, but even Guo Laowu, who had always been straightforward, understood the cold meaning in his words.

"Why is it impossible? Didn't I start practicing before I met Yang Jian? If we hadn't been immortals in Guanjiangkou for so many years, the six of us brothers might have ascended to immortality long ago!"

Nao Jian saw what Li Laosi was still trying to say, and sneered: "Fourth brother, I'm afraid there's something you don't know yet! After Li Jing was thrown into the sky prison, the Queen Mother had intended to recommend you to take over the post of Grand Marshal of the Demon Conqueror. But Yang Jian stopped him!"

Li Laosi's pupils shrank suddenly and his complexion changed several times.

Although he didn't know where Naoken got the news, this kind of thing couldn't be faked.

After a while, Li Laosi managed to calm down, but his face was still very ugly, and he said: "Yang Jian did the right thing. I have been a genius for so long, and I am indeed not suitable for the position of the general marshal to conquer demons."

Naoken said: "Not suitable? Fourth brother, he, Li Jing, can be the marshal to conquer demons, why can't you? In terms of cultivation, strength, resourcefulness, and formation of troops, in what way are you inferior to him?"

The Meishan brothers were both monks who attained enlightenment after the Conferred God Catastrophe. Regarding the Conferred God Catastrophe, they had only roughly heard some things and stories from Yang Jian and Nezha. They did not know the specific details, let alone the undercurrents behind it. .

The Three Realms in their eyes are similar to those of most shallow immortal monks. They only think that the gods and Buddhas are harmonious and friendly. They don't know about the secret swords and shadows of Buddhism and Taoism. They don't know that Li Jing can become the Demon-Conquering Grand Marshal because of his special status, and Li Jing himself has nothing to do with it.

Li Laosi said nothing and stared at Zhijian closely.

Naoken felt a little uncomfortable being looked at, so he forced a smile and said, "Fourth brother, why are you looking at me like that?"

Li Laosi asked: "When did you seek refuge with the Queen Mother?"

Nao Jian said anxiously: "Fourth brother, I have not taken refuge with the Queen Mother!" Seeing that Li Laosi remained silent and obviously did not believe it, he added: "At least not yet!"

Li Laosi's expression softened slightly and he said, "I have no intention of comparing myself to anyone. I won't tell anyone about this."

After saying that, Li Laosi stood up and walked towards the entrance of the palace.

Seeing this, Guo Laowu hurriedly stood up and followed him: "Fourth brother, wait for me!"

Naoken couldn't bear it anymore and shouted loudly: "Fourth brother, I know that you are always cautious in doing things, and I also know that you are afraid that the Queen Mother is not Yang Jian's opponent. You are worried that if you surrender to the Queen Mother, Yang Jian will hate you and retaliate. I Afraid too!"

"But are you willing to be like this for the rest of your life? When people mention you, oh, that's Yang Jian's sworn brother, they can't even say your name? Are you willing?"

Li Laosi paused and stopped at the door.

"Great! My position as Lord of the Martial Arts Star has been secured!"

Naoken was overjoyed, he knew he had succeeded!
Under the shade of a tree outside the door, Li Anran listened to the movements in the palace, feeling the emotions mixed with jealousy, unwillingness, greed and ambition, and knew that he had succeeded.

Yang Jian is cold on the outside but hot on the inside, and values ​​love and righteousness.

Even though he knew that Li Laosi and the others had changed their original intentions, as long as Li Laosi and the others did not do anything that violated his bottom line, he would not take action against the three of them.Just like Huang Tianhua of Taishan Yinsi, Mo Zheng generally believed that Yang Jian had killed Lei Zhenzi, ruined Yang Jian's reputation everywhere, and was in trouble with the Judicial Temple.

Yang Jian still chose to be silent and patient, and never took the initiative to attack Huang Tianhua.

In the Jiazi examination, the evaluation given to Huang Tianhua was always fair and reasonable.

If you want Yang Jian to be completely disappointed with them, not only must they do it, but they must do it desperately!

After some thought, Li Anran decided that the long-term pain was better than the short-term pain.

In the original time and space, the Meishan Brotherhood betrayed Yang Jian. On the surface, the Meishan brothers were righteous and could not see the despicable and shameless behavior deliberately displayed by Yang Jian.

actually not!

The Meishan brothers knew that San Sheng Sheng was suppressed by Yang Jian under Mount Hua because of his love for mortals. They also knew that Chenxiang was the son of San Sheng Sheng and Yang Jian's nephew.

However, at the beginning, they never considered that there is true love in the world, that heaven should not prohibit gods from touching mortal hearts, and that Yang Jian was too ruthless to attack his own sister and nephew.

Until Chenxiang became Monkey's apprentice, and had the support and help of a group of gods and Buddhas behind his back, Yang Jian's declining reputation attracted dissatisfaction among the gods and Buddhas of the three realms, and——

This is the most important and critical one——

When they took action against them and their interests were touched, they began to abandon the dark side and join the Chen Xiang camp, and began to join forces with Chen Xiang to deal with Yang Jian.

The Meishan brothers and Yang Jian had known each other for thousands of years and had been together day and night at Guanjiang Estuary, but no one had ever thought about why Yang Jian suddenly did this.Is there any misunderstanding here?What's the reason?
He didn't even ask Yang Jian face to face!
Instead, they acquiesced that after Yang Jian gained power, he changed and became ruthless, with only power in his eyes. If they exposed it to their face, they would be killed and silenced by Yang Jian.

The betrayal of the Meishan brothers was planned by Yang Jian, but when he saw that the Meishan brothers chose to betray so easily, he probably didn't feel good about it!
After understanding this, it will be easy for the Meishan brothers to take the initiative to break up with Yang Jian.

As long as two conditions are met.

First, Yang Jian violated their interests.

Second, the person they took refuge in had a way to deal with Yang Jian, or at least protect them from Yang Jian.

So, Li Anran set his sights on the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother is now eager to seize power from Yang Jian. Not only does she often confront Yang Jian at court meetings, she also offers various favors to win over the gods in heaven in private.

The Queen Mother must be very willing to win over Li Laosi and others to attack Yang Jian's prestige.

As long as he lets the Queen Mother see Li Laosi and the others' dissatisfaction with Yang Jian, the Queen Mother will find a way to complete this first condition without him having to do it.

The queen mother's own status was enough to dispel the fear of Li Laosi, Lao Liu, and others towards Yang Jian.

Perfectly meets the second condition.

Therefore, Li Anran secretly inquired about the whereabouts of Fairy Qingluan, the Queen Mother's personal maid and the most respected female official around her, either transforming into the appearance of Li Laosi and Laoliu, or pretending to be the mouth of the heavenly soldiers and generals, and tricking Li Laosi and the others. The dissatisfaction with Yang Jian and the intention to change the family reached the mouth of Fairy Qingluan.

At the same time, he cast spells to amplify the emotions of Li Laosi and Lao Liu, making their greed, desire and jealousy and dissatisfaction with Yang Jian overwhelm their fear and fear of Yang Jian.

In just three days, the Queen Mother got in touch with Naoken, and promised to win Naoken under her command with the power of her immortal position.

In order to meritorious service, Zhijian patted his chest and said that Li Laosi was also dissatisfied with Yang Jian and that he could persuade Li Laosi to defect to Yaochi together.

In order to make his credit greater, Nao Jian kept bragging about Li Laosi's resourcefulness. Many of the things Yang Jian did were based on Li Laosi's ideas.

I don't know whether the Queen Mother believed it or not, but she promised Naoken a series of rewards and gave Naoken the position of "Wude Xingjun" as a big cake.

Then there was what happened today.

If Li Laosi and Zhi Laoliu want to make contributions to the Queen Mother, they will inevitably oppose Yang Jian.

However, Yang Jian always followed the rules of nature and did not forget the human kindness outside the law.

If they want to pick on Yang Jian, they can only use shady methods, and the friendship between the two parties will soon be wiped out.

When Yang Jian's bottom line is touched one day, Yang Jian will naturally no longer care about human feelings.

In the process, Li Anran will also quietly amplify the emotions and desires in the hearts of Li Laosi and Lao Liu, so that they can reveal their true nature as soon as possible, so that this short-term pain will come faster.

At the latest, it must be before Wutian and Tathagata have a bet to avoid any changes.

And the development of things was far easier and faster than Li Anran thought!
After Nao Jian persuaded Li Laosi to join him and join the Queen Mother, he was transferred to the Yaochi by the Queen Mother and was responsible for guarding the Yaochi. The immortal position also jumped from Tian Huixingjun, who was relatively low in the 36 Tiangang, to the ninth-ranked one. Tianying Xingjun.

Li Laosi failed to become the Demon-Conquering Grand Marshal, but as the No. 1 candidate for the Demon-Conquering Grand Marshal in the future, he was conferred by the Jade Emperor as a lower-ranking Demon-Conquering General. His responsibilities were the same as those of the original Li Jing.

Only Guo Laowu was not interested in fighting for power.

After being magnified by Li Anran's seven emotions and six desires, he became more and more obsessed with martial arts.

One day, during a sparring session with a heavenly general, he accidentally broke a palace into pieces, which directly alarmed the Jade Emperor.

At Yang Jian's plea, Guo Laowu was sent to Beiju Luzhou to suppress the remnants of the ancient demon clan and became a subordinate of Emperor Zhenwu.

Nao Jian and Li Laosi suddenly defected to the Queen Mother, which shocked all the civil and military immortals in heaven. They looked at Yang Jian with a playful and fun look.

Yang Jian himself was also surprised. He did not expect that Nao Jian and Li Laosi would do such a thing.

Yang Jian knew very well how deep the pool in Heaven was, and it was not something that Zhi Jian and Li Laosi could afford to participate in!

For the safety of the two of them, Yang Jian went to meet with the two of them in person that night and advised them not to get involved in this muddy water.

However, Nao Jian and Li Laosi felt that Yang Jian was not interested in them and were afraid that they would surpass them, so they flatly refused.

When Boss Kang, San Shengsheng and others learned about this, they all came to heaven to persuade Zhi Jian and Li Laosi, but in the end they also failed.

Since then, Zhijian and Li Laosi broke up with Yang Jian and parted ways with Yang Jian.

And just six months later, Li Laosi did something that touched Yang Jian's bottom line!
