Soul Ferry: My master is Uncle Jiu

Chapter 400 Reason (II)

Five hundred years ago, Heaven.

"Tianpeng, I have something I want to entrust you with."

Marshal Tianpeng, who was suddenly summoned in private, had a bad feeling when he saw the Jade Emperor's look of a weasel paying New Year's greeting to a chicken.

He asked with a hopeful heart, "What does the Jade Emperor want me to do?"

“You should have heard about the Journey to the West.” The Jade Emperor did not speak directly, but instead talked about the Journey to the West.

Since the great catastrophe of the Conferred Gods, the murderous aura in heaven and earth has been completely wiped out, and the seas and rivers are peaceful and prosperous.

But as time goes by, the killing calamity between heaven and earth starts again.

There were many wars and killings in the four continents.

Among them, Xiniu Hezhou was the worst. He was greedy, lustful, and enjoyed killing and fighting frequently.

Therefore, the Taoist Patriarch personally brought down the great calamity of the Journey to the West in order to eliminate the sin of killing and restore peace to the world.

But I don't know how the two saints in the West persuaded the Taoist Patriarch to let the Buddhist sect supervise the matter, which led to the saying that Buddhism should flourish.

Tianpeng looks down on the Buddhas of the West from the bottom of his heart. He talks about benevolence, righteousness, and morality, but what he does is really inhumane.

"Of course I have heard about the Journey to the West." Tianpeng answered cautiously, but he couldn't figure out what this had to do with him.

The Jade Emperor nodded and said, "There are five destined people in this great calamity of the Journey to the West, and one of them is you."

"The Jade Emperor wants me to participate in the Journey to the West?" Tianpeng never thought that he would be allowed to go, as he is the dignified Marshal Tianpeng, a Daluo Jinxian.

"Yes, the destiny is with you. Tathagata has said it himself, and I have no other choice." The Jade Emperor sighed.

"I don't believe in destiny. If the Jade Emperor insists that I go, then let Laojun speak. If Laojun agrees, I will have no objection."

Tianpeng bowed his hands without giving the Jade Emperor any face, and left, leaving the Jade Emperor with a gloomy face.

As a Daluo immortal, there is no place in the world that he cannot go.

If he is really upset, the worst that can happen is that he will quit.

Letting Marshal Tianpeng, who controls a large number of troops, work as a dog for Buddhism, I'm afraid the Jade Emperor must have been kicked in the head by a donkey.

Looking at Tianpeng who left angrily, the Jade Emperor looked very unhappy.

Originally he was a little reluctant, after all, a Daluo Immortal was one of the few high-level combat forces in the Heavenly Court.

But Tianpeng's rebellious attitude was very similar to that of his nephew. He would never allow another person in heaven who would obey orders but not instructions and who would command a large number of troops.

If other gods follow suit, then how can he, the Jade Emperor, still be the Lord of Heaven?
Tianpeng left angrily and did not return to his Marshal's Mansion, but went straight out of the South Gate of Heaven and fell into the mortal world.

In a coastal fishing village, a girl, who was dressed simply but still had natural beauty, was sorting out her fishing nets, with a matchmaker sitting next to her.

"You are not young anymore, it's time to find a good family to marry into."

"Aunt Dou, I already have a lover, he said he will come to marry me, you go now."

The girl was busy mending the fishing nets and didn't want to talk to Aunt Dou any more, so she just ordered her to leave.

"He won't come back. That's what you said three years ago. Now three years have passed, has he come back?" Aunt Dou naturally couldn't just leave like that, so she continued to persuade her earnestly.

"The man I'm introducing to you this time is a young man from a wealthy family in the city. He fell in love with you at first sight and wants to marry you. If you marry him, you will never have to worry about food and clothing in your life, and you won't have to go fishing in the wind and sun."

"This is a blessing you have earned through countless lifetimes, silly girl!"

"Don't say that. He said he would come back to marry me." No matter what Aunt Dou said, the girl still had a hint of stubbornness on her face and refused again, "Go away."

Aunt Dou looked at the beautiful girl who was insisting on being so stubborn. Although she was doing the work of a fisherman, her skin was still fair and tender, which formed a sharp contrast with her rough skin. No wonder she could be so bewitched by the young master.

If it were her, she would have agreed a long time ago, and I couldn't help but show envy in my eyes.

Aunt Dou wanted to leave immediately, but when she thought of the generous reward offered by that person, she still wanted to say before she reached the door: "If he doesn't come to marry you, will you just keep waiting like this?"

Tianpeng, who had come outside the house at some point, wanted to drive the matchmaker away, but when he heard these words, he paused.

The girl who was mending the fishing net also paused for a long time, then raised her head and showed an intoxicating smile, "Well, I will wait forever."

"Because Gao Cuilan will always love Zhu Ganglie."

"Crazy! Crazy! You are really crazy!"

Aunt Dou had never seen such an infatuated person before. She cursed him like crazy and turned around as if she had bumped into Optimus Prime. She screamed in pain and fell to the ground.

The light from the door was blocked by the visitor's burly body, and the view inside the room became dark.

Gao Cuilan looked at the person at the door in disbelief, and suddenly stood up, tears in her eyes. She staggered forward, as if she couldn't believe it, and reached out her hand to gently touch the strong face, fearing that it was just an illusion.

"Am I dreaming!"

Hearing the girl's murmur, Tianpeng felt an infinite love in his heart and hugged the girl into his arms, "I'm sorry!"

Aunt Dou stood up and looked at the noble man, and stood there in a daze.

Noticing Aunt Dou in the house, the warmth on Tianpeng's face disappeared and he said coldly: "Get lost!"

The biting cold made Aunt Dou shiver and she almost peed. She was so frightened by the terrifying look in her eyes that she quickly squeezed out from a gap and ran away without looking back.

"Ah Lie, am I really not dreaming?"

Feeling the familiar embrace, Gao Cuilan raised her charming face and asked foolishly.

“Didn’t I tell you to call me Tianpeng? This common name is embarrassing.” Tianpeng did not answer, but patted her hair lightly, saying with a hint of helplessness in his tone.

Hearing this familiar helpless tone, Gao Cuilan recalled the moments they had spent together three years ago and winked playfully, "But this is your name. I don't think it's shameful, A-lie."

"Forget it, forget it, as long as you like it."

Tianpeng, who was originally in a bad mood, was gradually calmed down by Gao Cuilan's smiles and frowns.

"After that, I stayed in the human world to accompany her. This was probably the happiest period of my life."

In the room, Zhu Ganglie's ugly pig face showed a tender side.

"What's so good about talking about love? If it were me, Sun Wukong, it would be even more exciting to be the Marshal Tianpeng and command a hundred thousand troops." Sun Wukong just felt bored and could not understand these love matters.

Zhu Ganglie said disdainfully: "When you meet your other half, I hope you can be as stubborn as you are now."

Sun Wukong curled his lips in disapproval. How could he possibly like someone else? Don't be ridiculous!

However, after being reminded of this by this idiot, he felt empty and uncomfortable inside.

"That's not right. Didn't you say Gao Cuilan was the fairy from the Moon Palace?" An Yan listened with great interest, but then he thought again, this was different from what he said before.

Zhu Ganglie sighed, "Just listen to me and I'll tell you slowly."

"At that time, I did live a very happy life until that day." "Ah!"

"My face! My face!"

Zhu Ganglie, who was still sleeping soundly, was awakened by the scream of his wife Cuilan.

Gao Cuilan's current appearance was reflected in the bronze mirror. Her originally beautiful face was now covered with pustules, which was very horrifying.

Hearing the scream, Zhu Ganglie quickly got out of bed and asked, "Cui Lan, what's wrong with you?"

"Don't come over here! Don't come over here!" Gao Cuilan cried and covered her face tightly, not wanting her husband to see her ugly face.

Seeing Gao Cuilan trembling and crying, Zhu Ganglie's heart sank. He went up to her and hugged her, whispering to her to comfort her, "Be good, show your husband what happened."

"You will definitely dislike me after you see it." Gao Cuilan felt very uncomfortable and refused to let Zhu Ganglie see it.

She didn't understand why God treated her like this, giving her the heaviest despair when she was happiest.

"Silly boy, if I disliked you, I wouldn't have come back to you."

With Zhu Ganglie's comfort, Gao Cuilan finally slowly let go of her hand and raised her face to look at Zhu Ganglie.

"Ah Lie, am I really ugly now?"

The originally fair and delicate face was now covered with thumb-sized green pustules that emitted a fishy smell.

Tears welled up in Gao Cuilan's eyes.

Zhu Ganglie stroked the face gently with trembling hands, proving his attitude with his actions, "Not ugly, not ugly. In my heart, you will always be the most beautiful."

Feeling the sincerity of her lover's words, Gao Cuilan burst into laughter, but then became depressed again, "A Lie, am I going to die soon?"

"Silly girl, why do you think so? I won't let you die." Zhu Ganglie smiled heavily. He saw what the pustules on Cuilan's face were.

"You don't have to lie to me. There was a plague in the village before. I saw those who died just like me now." Gao Cuilan choked, then struggled to push Zhu Ganglie away, "Go away quickly, the farther away from me the better. I don't want you to be infected with the plague too."

"Promise me that even if I die, you will live well on your own."

Zhu Ganglie felt heartbroken when he heard this. He refused to let go and dared not tell the truth. He had to lie and said, "This is not the plague. You will not die."

"Really?" Gao Cuilan's eyes lit up, then dimmed. "A Lie, you are lying to me, aren't you?"

"Why would I lie to you? If you really were a plague, I would have left you and run away long ago." Zhu Ganglie said in as relaxed a tone as possible.

"Really?"

"real!"

"Just wait for me at home. I know a doctor who can treat this disease. I'll go and get him back."

"Well, I'll wait for you at home."

Knowing that she was not the plague, Gao Cuilan relaxed and asked Zhu Ganglie to go and come back early.

Zhu Ganglie walked out of the house, looking dazed. Then he looked up at the sky with a ferocious expression and turned into a stream of light that soared into the sky.

Heavenly Court, Ministry of Plague.

This department, which even jinxes consider unlucky, is rarely visited by people.

But today, the Plague Department welcomed a heavyweight.

"Lü Yue, get out here, or I'll tear down your plague department today."

Holding a precious golden rake and wearing bright silver armor, Zhu Ganglie, who looked very majestic, blocked the door of the plague department with an imposing manner.

In the Plague Department, Lu Yue, who died in the Battle of Conferred Gods and was appointed as the head of the Plague Department, heard the angry shouting outside the door. He was shocked and his face suddenly showed bitterness.

"Taibai, Taibai, I've really put you in such a bad situation this time."

Just as he was thinking about how to respond, there was a loud bang and the door made of fairy iron shattered into pieces, which scared him. He then saw Marshal Tianpeng rushing in with a gloomy face, holding a magic weapon.

Lu Yue, who had originally been thinking about explaining, felt a little embarrassed after seeing this. If this matter got out, wouldn't he become a laughing stock?

"Tian Peng, even if you are the Marine Marshal appointed by the Jade Emperor, you have no right to trespass into my Plague Department."

"Lü Yue, I don't want to waste time talking to you. It was you who poisoned my wife. Bring me the antidote, and I will forgive you."

Zhu Ganglie raised the Shangbaoqinjin Rake and pointed it directly at Lu Yue with an extremely cold expression.

"You are crazy! For a mortal!" Lu Yue was furious. He took out the Plague Sword and held it with both hands to confront Tian Peng.

"I'm not crazy, you're the ones who are crazy. If you have anything to say, come to me. How dare you attack a mortal?" Zhu Ganglie became more and more impatient, his eyes reddened, "Just one word, do you want to hand it over or not?"

"Okay, okay, I want to see what you can do to me today." Lu Yue was not a good-tempered person. He directly showed his Dharma body, which had three eyes, three heads and six arms.

On his six arms, he held magic weapons such as the Plague Sword, the Plague Seal, the Plague Banner, the Plague Umbrella, and the Plague Pill, all of which were magic weapons that had once defeated the Zhou army.

And Lu Yue once called himself the number one in Jiejiao. Although there was some boasting in this, he was obviously a person who was at the level of Daluo Immortal.

Although he was listed on the Conferred God List after his death and his cultivation did not improve at all, he should not be underestimated.

"Then let me learn a lesson from you, the Plague Emperor Haotian!" Zhu Bajie is an old antique from the Conferred Gods period and is no less capable than him.

Lu Yue was furious. All his strength was put into the plague. If Yang Ren hadn't held the Five Fires and Seven Birds Fan to restrain him, how could he have been killed?
Now that he saw that anyone dared to come to his door, Lu Yue did not show any mercy and immediately released the black and green plague.

Just when the two were about to fight, a figure hurried over.

"You two, please stop!"

Taibai Jinxing, who was involved in everything, arrived and saw the two men fighting, so he quickly stepped in between them.

Seeing Taibai Jinxing, Lu Yue finally vented his dissatisfaction, "Taibai, you really hurt me this time."

"Every wrong has its perpetrator, Tianpeng, if you want to find someone, then look for Taibai. It was he who asked me to poison you."

Lu Yue sold Taibai Jinxing without hesitation.

"It's you, old man!"

"What do you want to do?"

After being interrupted by Taibai Jinxing, Zhu Ganglie calmed down a little.

Unexpectedly, Taibai Jinxing shook his head, pointed at himself and said, "It's not what I want to do, but what you want to do."

"Don't you know the rules of heaven? This is the Jade Emperor's warning to you."

"If you continue to act in this way and challenge the rules of heaven, not only will that mortal suffer, but you will also suffer."

Taibai Jinxing's words couldn't be more straightforward, he was almost telling him directly that this was the Jade Emperor's intention.
