Soul Ferry: My master is Uncle Jiu

Chapter 402: The Stealing Guanyin

"So, I became what I am now, and Cuilan became the third daughter of the Gao family after several reincarnations."

"The Jade Emperor lied to me. He didn't help Cuilan get rid of the plague at all."

When Zhu Ganglie finished speaking, flames of hatred flashed in his eyes.

"No! I don't think that's right!"

An Yan listened to the whole thing. Although he felt that this Zhu Ganglie was a little different from the impression he had, his previous impression was just from what he had seen on TV, so there would definitely be some differences from the real person.

"Ang'er, what's wrong? I think it's just that the old Jade Emperor can't stand others doing well, so he deliberately makes things bad for them."

"In the beginning, he repeatedly deceived me, Old Sun, and tricked me into raising horses and peaches for him. That old man was very bad."

Sun Wukong had a different opinion and denounced the Jade Emperor in harsh words.

An Yan rolled his eyes, "You are simply dissatisfied with the Jade Emperor's arrangement for you to raise horses and watch peaches."

"Besides, there is no need for the Jade Emperor to do this. Chunchun is working hard but getting no thanks."

"If he wanted to use Gao Cuilan to threaten you, there was no need for him to resort to so many tricks. Who is he? The high and mighty Jade Emperor!"

"Wouldn't it be easier to find a random excuse to lock Gao Cuilan up?"

As the saying goes, the authorities are confused, but those who watch are clear.

After An Yan's analysis, Zhu Ganglie's brain began to cool down. His eyes regained clarity and he frowned, "Are you trying to say that there is a mastermind behind this?"

An Yan nodded and said, "Think carefully about what happened to Gao Cuilan. Since the mastermind didn't attack you, he must have attacked Gao Cuilan."

"Unusual places?" Zhu Ganglie pondered over it. After being reminded by An Yan, he finally connected those inconspicuous details.

"There is indeed something wrong. Ever since Cuilan got the plague that day and I came back from the Heavenly Palace, Cuilan's demeanor has been a little off."

"It seems that she knew something during the time I was away. When I was about to take her to heaven, she said something that made me worry."

"Someone must have contacted Cuilan during this time!"

"Before I was captured by the patrolling spirit officer, Cuilan had been asking me to leave Guanghan Palace. It was obvious that she knew part of the inside story."

After connecting all these things together, Zhu Ganglie became even more angry, "Who on earth is it?"

"Then we have to ask the person involved." An Yan mentioned Gao Cuilan who had fallen into a coma.

Zhu Ganglie sighed in distress, "I would love to go to heaven to ask for help, but now I am a pilgrim, and the Buddhist Jie Di Jia Lan is guarding me and won't let me leave the territory of U-Tsang."

An Yan touched his chin and said, "Although I don't know what the mastermind is plotting, what we have to do now is to prevent him from finding out that we have discovered his existence."

"Well, you and Wukong pretend to have a fight, and I'll use my clone technique to go to heaven in my real body."

"I have some connections in heaven, so I think I can invite Lu Yue to come down to earth."

Zhu Ganglie then re-examined the young Taoist in front of him. He certainly didn't believe what he said. If you could have asked Lu Yue for help with just a little bit of relationship, he wouldn't have had to go to his house that year.

He clasped his fists and said, "I wonder which great god in heaven is the reincarnation? Can you tell me, Old Pig? Maybe we've met in heaven before."

Without waiting for An Yan to speak, Sun Wukong said arrogantly as if he was asking himself: "Then you better listen carefully, Brother An is the Grand Master, the Taoist's designated preacher, and my great benefactor."

Zhu Ganglie subconsciously ignored Sun Wukong's last sentence.

After hearing the words "teacher" and "Taishang", Zhu Ganglie was shocked, "Are you the disciple from the thirty-three heavens?"

That's a big deal!
If it is true, I am afraid that the Jade Emperor will have to give some face to An Yan when he sees him, and inviting Lu Yue will naturally be a piece of cake.

"I am not worthy of Marshal Tianpeng's gift. I am just a lucky guy who was chosen by chance." An Yan waved his hand. Zhu Bajie is a difficulty. No matter who he finally chooses as his master, he still has to perform the play he should perform.

"Rather than this, we should act according to the plan as soon as possible, otherwise something unexpected will happen."

As he spoke, An Yan performed a clone trick and created a fake body.

"I am sorry to offend the great commander." After knowing Zhu Ganglie's identity, Sun Wukong no longer looked down on him as before and felt more interested.

"Come on, come to think of it, I also want to fight with you." After all, if he became Tang Sanzang's disciple, Sun Wukong would be his nominal senior brother.

Then, under the gaze of Jie Di Jia Lan in the sky, the courtyard that had been silent for a long time suddenly broke through the window with a gust of evil wind and fled straight to Fuling Mountain.

An Yan and Sun Wukong chased after them on a cloud. An Yan's loud shout echoed in the night sky, "Evil beast! Where are you running to?"

Sun Wukong also shouted: "If you dare to go up to the sky, I will chase you to the Bullfighting Palace; if you dare to go into the earth, I will chase you to the underworld."

Seeing the cave ahead and the two men chasing after him, Zhu Ganglie was annoyed. "A stinky Taoist priest and a horse keeper dare to act violently in front of your grandpa Pig? Take this from me!"

The golden hoop stick, the nine-toothed rake and the demon-suppressing sword fought together. The confrontation between the three shook the heaven and earth and attracted the attention of the immortals in the sky and the land and mountain gods on the earth.

"Big Brother, should we go and lend a helping hand to Master?"

Outside Gao Cuilan's room, Xiong Bin, who was guarding outside the yard, asked. Seeing the fierce fight, he also felt itchy to fight.

Ao Lie was also eager to try. He had just learned the 72 transformations of the Earthly Fiends and was worried about having no place to display them.

Tang Sanzang stopped them and said, "Don't forget the mission assigned by your master. If we leave and fall into the trap of the monster, it will be a disaster."

Hearing Tang Sanzang's words, Ao Lie and Xiong Bin's faces suddenly fell, "Oh, we won't go."

When everyone's attention was drawn, An Yan turned into a roc and soared up to 90,000 miles.

However, he did not go to heaven directly. Instead, he went to the Flower-Fruit Mountain, picked some spiritual fruits, and then went to heaven.

The bright moon hangs high on earth, and the sky is still bright.

In front of the South Gate of Heaven, the one guarding the gate today is the second oldest Mo Lihong, the Northern Heavenly King Vaisravana.

When he saw a giant peng bird flying towards him, he was so startled that he was about to open his Hunyuan umbrella.

But the big bird turned into a human form, a young Taoist priest.

The four brothers of the Mo family can be called the Four Heavenly Kings if you put it nicely, or the four security chiefs who guard the gate if you put it bluntly.

What is the most important thing about being a doorman?
Keeping your eyes and ears open in all directions, knowing who can be offended and who cannot be offended are all necessary skills.

How could they not know about the Taoist who was the hottest topic at the moment?
Mo Lihong immediately put away the Hunyuan Umbrella and put on a smile, "My little god greets you, Taoist friend. Aren't you going west? How come you have time to come to the Heavenly Palace?"

"You are too polite, Lord Vaisravana." An Yan smiled and returned the greeting, "Oh, I have something to deal with."

Knowing that An Yan had important matters to attend to, Mo Lihong did not say much, but patted his chest and said, "If you encounter any problems in the future, just come to us four brothers, and we will definitely help you if we can."

"Then I would like to thank the Vaisravana and the other three heavenly kings first."

An Yan kept calling him "king of heaven", which made Mo Lihong feel comfortable.

Watching An Yan enter the Nantian Gate, Mo Lihong's eyes sparkled, "If I can get in touch with the Supreme, it will be much better than becoming a monk."

An Yan didn't know what Mo Lihong was thinking. Time was urgent and he didn't even have time to visit his ancestor. He went straight to the Thirty-three Heavens.

At this time in the Tushita Palace, the blue ox and the two boys were no longer there.

An Yan had no choice but to stand respectfully outside the gate of Tushita Palace and shouted inside: "Laojun, are you there?" "Come in."

A faint voice was heard, and the gate of Tushita Palace opened.

An Yan was delighted. He took out the spiritual peach from the storage ring, held it in his hand, and ran inside happily.

Inside the palace, Taishang Laojun was standing in front of the alchemy furnace, gently fanning it with a large cattail leaf fan. The amplitude of the fanning was not large, but the flame in the furnace rose high.

The Samadhi True Fire that is feared by the outside world is just the fire used by Taishang Laojun to refine elixirs here.

As soon as An Yan walked in, he felt the heat wave hitting him and the heat was unbearable.

Even he, who has the cultivation level of a Golden Immortal, is still like this, which shows how terrifying the Samadhi True Fire in the alchemy furnace is.

The Taishang Laojun, who was standing by, was content and at ease, and the difference between them was immediately apparent.

"Laojun, I came to see you. I also brought you some specialties from Huaguo Mountain." An Yan presented the spiritual peaches to him, smiling like a chrysanthemum.

As he approached the alchemy furnace, he had to use his magic power to resist the overwhelming heat wave.

When Sun Wukong was thrown into the alchemy furnace, it is definitely a lie to say that Taishang Laojun did not let him off.

"Old Taoist, I'm a little thirsty." Taishang Laojun took the peaches with a smile, wiped one on his sleeve, and put it to his mouth.

Then he grabbed a large cattail leaf fan with his other hand and fanned the furnace with it, and immediately the heat wave disappeared.

"Well, although it's not as good as the peaches in the Peach Garden, it's just right for quenching thirst."

Seeing that Taishang Laojun was enjoying his meal, An Yan was secretly happy.

"Laojun, I came here this time to ask for a favor."

"You little rascal, you know your peach is not so easy to eat." Taishang Laojun obviously knew that An Yan had something to ask for, and scolded with a smile, "Tell me, what happened?"

Upon hearing this, An Yan quickly told what had happened to him.

"So, I would like to ask the Plague Emperor Haotian Lu Yue to come over."

After listening to this, Taishang Laojun shook his head and said, "Then you shouldn't come to me, but go to the Jade Emperor."

"The person in charge of the Heavenly Palace is the Jade Emperor."

An Yan was not stupid. He understood immediately what Taishang Laojun meant.

At the same time, he was sweating a little, as he almost violated a taboo.

Although everyone with a discerning eye knows that Taishang Laojun has a transcendent status, the Lord of Heaven is ultimately the Jade Emperor, and behind the Jade Emperor is that person.

So most of the time, Taishang Laojun would give the face he deserved. In other words, the same goes for the Jade Emperor.

After all, it is only when both you and I are well that things are truly well, and An Yan's behavior of going directly to Laozi clearly shows that he does not take the Jade Emperor seriously.

After all, he is a quasi-saint.

After figuring out everything, An Yan immediately bowed respectfully and said, "Thank you, Laojun, for your teachings."

"Ruzi can be taught!"

Taishang Laojun stroked his white beard, smiled and nodded, then counted with his fingers and said, "Go quickly, if you are late, things may change."

An Yan's face changed slightly, realizing that the Supreme Lord was talking about Gao Cuilan, so he immediately said goodbye, "Then, Lord, I'm leaving first."

Watching An Yan hurriedly leaving, Taishang Laojun glanced towards the west again, revealing an intriguing smile, "Can't you bear it anymore?"

After leaving the Tushita Palace, An Yan went to ask for an audience with the Jade Emperor, and it was Taibai Jinxing who came to pick him up.

"Haha, little friend, we meet again."

Taibai Jinxing is very outgoing and those who don’t know would think that An Yan and Taibai Jinxing are very familiar with each other.

"Yes, but I can't compare to you, a favorite of the Jade Emperor. My destiny is to work hard and travel around in heaven." An Yan said self-deprecatingly.

"Where? We are all workers."

That’s true, but one sits in an office and the other is out in the field every day, there’s no comparison at all.

An Yan shook his head, dispelling the thoughts in his mind, and said, "Taibai Jinxing, you should take me to see the Jade Emperor first. This matter is related to Marshal Tianpeng and is of great importance."

"Tianpeng!?" Taibai Jinxing was a little surprised. He didn't expect An Yan to make a special trip just for Tianpeng.

"plz follow me."

This was the first time that An Yan stepped into the Lingxiao Palace.

I saw dragons and phoenixes circling the pillars, rosy clouds and fairy air floating in the air, and the scene was magnificent and golden. The Jade Emperor sat upright on a jade chair with a majestic look.

"Jade Emperor, here comes the disciple of Sanmao Zhenjun."

It was also the first time that the Jade Emperor saw An Yan, and he was full of admiration, "He is truly a young hero, with great abilities at such a young age."

"You are too kind, Jade Emperor. Compared with the talented gods and immortals in heaven under the wise leadership of the Jade Emperor, I am still far behind."

An Yan flattered him gently. Who doesn't know how to flatter?
Taibai Jinxing, who already knew An Yan's character, was not too surprised. However, the Jade Emperor, who met him for the first time, showed a hint of surprise. This was indeed an interesting person.

Then the Jade Emperor asked, "Aren't you traveling west now? Where are you now? How come you have time to come to Heaven?"

"Reporting to the Jade Emperor, we have now reached Gaojiazhuang, the border of the U-Tsang Kingdom. We are here for Marshal Tianpeng who was born into a pig by mistake." An Yan raised his head, his eyes as sharp as torches. "I dare to ask, has the Jade Emperor given up on Marshal Tianpeng and allowed him to join the Western Buddhist sect?"

Seeing An Yan being so straightforward, the Jade Emperor frowned, "What do you mean? Tian Peng is the marshal of my Tianhe 100,000 sailors, how could I abandon him?"

"Then why did the Jade Emperor agree to cure Gao Cuilan of the plague, but after her reincarnation, Gao Cuilan was still plagued by the plague?" An Yan pointed out the key to the problem.

"Impossible! I was the one who cured Gao Cuilan of the plague back then." The Jade Emperor's expression changed slightly. "Gao Cuilan, who was reincarnated with Tianpeng, still has the plague in her body?"

"Exactly!"

The Jade Emperor finally understood why An Yan said that just now. He frowned, then waved his hand and said, "Taibai, go call Lu Yue. I have something to ask him."

"I'll go right away."

Taibai Jinxian also smelled a conspiracy. Someone was trying to sow discord between Tianpeng and the Jade Emperor.

The Jade Emperor said solemnly: "An Yan, don't worry, I will definitely get to the bottom of this matter."

"I believe the Jade Emperor will see clearly."

Just as An Yan was waiting.

It was already dawn on the mortal world, and Guanyin, sitting cross-legged on a lotus throne, came from the west.

Since the people from the Taoist sect took direct action, she would not be polite either.

He arrived above Gaojiazhuang, lowered the lotus seat, and transformed himself into a tall and thin monk, then walked towards Gao Taigong's house.
