Li Anran took the invitation and took a look.
It says that Emperor Qinghua of the East Pole will hold an Immortal Tea Conference in the Jinguang Cave of Qianyuan Mountain in one month, and invites him to come and taste tea and talk about Taoism.
"You actually invited me... is it because of Nezha?" Li Anran was a little surprised.
He had heard about the Immortal Tea Conference from Nezha. It can be said to be one of the highest-level events in Xuanmen, held once every thousand years.
The Immortal Tea you taste is the enlightenment tea tree with innate spiritual roots.
Although this tea tree of enlightenment is not as good as the ten innate spiritual roots, it is still a rare treasure in the world, which can make people see through the illusion and look directly at the avenue.
Even for Daluo Jinxian, it is of great benefit!
It is even more precious than a flat peach!
And because this Enlightenment Tea matures once every thousand years, only nine taels of tea leaves can be harvested each time.
Among the three realms, only a handful of people are qualified to participate in the Immortal Tea Conference, which is a symbol of status.
Li Anran had angered the Jade Emperor because of Yao Ji's incident and was unable to go to the Peach Blossom Club.
Nezha said that he would help Li Anran ask Master Taiyi for a qualification to participate in the Xianming Conference.
However, this matter was of great importance and required Master Taiyi's nod of approval. Nezha did not dare to guarantee that he could do it, he only said that he would do his best.
Unexpectedly, he actually received an invitation from Master Taiyi today.
"I already know about this. Please step back first."
Li Anran put away the invitation, imprisoned Red Boy in the sky prison, and flew straight to Yunlou Palace.
Yunlou Palace is the residence of Li Jing, and Nezha also lives here.
However, Nezha and Li Jing had always been at odds with each other and were wary of each other. One of them lived in the main hall of Yunlou Palace, and the other lived in the side hall farthest from the main hall.
Unless they are going to court or going down to earth to catch monsters, they never see each other on weekdays.
When Li Anran arrived at the door of Nezha Hall, Nezha was meditating in the hall. Hearing the announcement from the Heavenly Soldiers, he immediately stood up and came out to greet him, saying, "We are a rare visitor! You, the Prison God, are a very busy man. How come you have time to come to me today?" Is this Yunluo Palace?"
"You are the evil one who complained first and then got beaten up!"
Li Anran smiled and said, "Although I haven't seen you many times over the years, I've definitely seen you a lot. I wonder, what have you been busy with during this time? You haven't seen me for a drink in a while!"
Nezha said: "If I don't practice quickly, I will be surpassed by you! How can I still think about drinking!"
With that said, Nezha led Li Anran into the hall and sat down.
Li Anran told Nezha that Taiyi Zhenren invited him to attend the Xianming Conference, and expressed his gratitude to Nezha.
Unexpectedly, Nezha looked surprised: "Master invites you to attend the Fairy Tea Conference?! This matter has nothing to do with me. I haven't had time to tell Master yet!"
Nezha's ears turned slightly red. It was not that he didn't have time to talk to Master Taiyi, but that he had forgotten about it.
At this time, I heard Li Anran mention it and solemnly expressed his feelings to him, and I felt a little ashamed.
"It's not you?" Li Anran was stunned and secretly murmured in his heart: "Could it be Yang Jian?"
Nezha was also curious about why Master Taiyi invited Li Anran and asked, "Li Anran, have you done anything during this time?"
Li Anran recalled it and suddenly thought of the fake Tongtian who was imprisoned by him.
This fake Tongtian is the whetstone that Taishang Laojun found for the Eight Immortals of Shangdong. Now that the whetstone has been taken away by him, Taishang Laojun should also come to the door.
Moreover, Taishang Laojun is also qualified to get this invitation for him.
"Have you thought of it?" Nezha asked.
Li Anran nodded: "I have a clue."
Nezha wanted to ask again, but Li Anran had already stood up to say goodbye: "Brother Nezha, I still have some things to do here, so I'm going to say goodbye!"
The pilgrimage to the West is a matter of gambling and fighting in Xuanmen Lingshan, and most of the upper-level gods and Buddhas in the three realms know about it.
However, very few people in the Three Realms know about the Eight Immortals in the Cave, especially the fake heaven-reaching thing!
He had no way to explain his source of information, so he could only prevaricate and delay it.
After leaving Yunlou Palace, Li Anran flew directly to the Judiciary Temple.
The only person who has the ability and qualifications to get this invitation for him, besides Taishang Laojun, is Yang Jian.
As long as one can be ruled out, the answer is definitely the other.
The Judiciary Temple is suspended alone in the void, and the sunlight seems to avoid it. Even if the sun is blazing overhead, it still has a chilling and cold feeling.
Not long after the once-in-a-lifetime inspection of the gods, the Judiciary Temple was much deserted than before.
However, Yang Jian is still busy with his work.
All kinds of matters in the Three Realms will eventually be gathered in the Temple of Justice, either handled by him himself or reported to the Jade Emperor.
In the past hundreds of years, Yang Jian was almost trapped between the Judiciary Temple and the Lingxiao Palace by these things. They were busy day and night and couldn't get away.
When Li Anran and Yang Jian mentioned the Xianming Conference.
Yang Jian was stunned for a moment before he remembered such a thing. He rummaged around on the desk and soon found an invitation to the Xian Ming Conference.
Yang Jian's status is extraordinary, so he is naturally qualified to participate in the Xianming Conference.
When Jinxia Boy sent the invitation, he was busy dealing with a case of gods robbing the Demon Immortal Cave, so he put the invitation aside casually.
After that, one thing followed another, and he was so busy that he forgot about it.
If Li Anran hadn't reminded him, he might not even have remembered it after the Xian Ming Conference was over.
However, even now, Yang Jian can't spare time to go to the banquet.
"Brother Li, if you want to go to the Xianming Conference, just... eh?"
Before Yang Jian finished speaking, he saw Li Anran taking out an identical invitation.
"Uncle Taiyi also invited you?" Yang Jian showed a bit of surprise and confusion.
Although Li Anran is the Prison God and Guansuo Xingjun, his identity and cultivation are not enough in front of Master Taiyi, and he is not qualified to participate in the Immortal Tea Conference!
"This matter may be related to Taishang Laojun."
Yang Jian knew the special features of Li Anran's magic weapon (system), so Li Anran didn't have much scruples about him and said directly: "Second brother, when I was protecting the reincarnation of Emperor Donghua in Dongsheng Shenzhou, I once I once encountered an evil dragon..."
Fake Tongtian's life was related to the Immortal Killing Formation. Li Anran was worried about something unexpected happening, and he didn't even tell Yang Jian before.
At this time, he had already mastered the Immortal Killing Formation, so pretending to reach the sky was of little use to him.
Li Anran directly told everything about his encounter with Chunying and Fake Tongtian.
Including the origin of the fake Tongtian, his relationship with Taishang Laojun Tathagata, and some of his guesses about the Eight Immortals in Shangdong.
Yang Jian was stunned when he heard this.
He never expected that Li Anran would encounter so many things just for a trip to Dongsheng China, and even get involved with a saint.
"Brother Li seems to be the one responsible for this catastrophe!"
Yang Jian thought about all the things Li Anran encountered after he went to heaven, and he became more and more confident and a little worried.
The catastrophe is coming, and no one can escape!
However, there is still a big difference between the people who are subject to the calamity and the ordinary creatures in the calamity!
There are only two endings for those who are destined to be catastrophic: reaching heaven in one step or being destroyed forever!
Ordinary creatures can wander between the two. With luck, it is not impossible to escape safely!
Yang Jian knew that he was the one who deserved the disaster.
In other words, in order to change the rules of heaven, he took the initiative to enter the tribulation and became the person who deserved the tribulation.
Only then would he arrange various backup plans, including but not limited to forming a good relationship with Li Anran, hoping that the Third Holy Mother could be carefree and at ease even after something happened to him.
He never thought that Li Anran, whom he valued most, was the same person who deserved the disaster just like him!
Yang Jian didn't know whether this was due to the entanglement of cause and effect in the human world and sympathy for each other, or whether he should praise his own good judgment.
After Li Anran finished talking about pretending to reach the sky, he also told Yang Jian everything about how the monkey went to heaven to ask him to come down to earth to subdue demons, and how he captured Hong Hai'er, the son of the Bull Demon King, and brought him back to heaven.
Yang Jian's attitude was much calmer about this matter.
It’s just a Pingtian Great Holy Bull Demon King, no matter how deep his relationship with Jie Jiao is, it doesn’t matter!
Red Boy has violated the laws of heaven, so he will be arrested if he is caught. If he, the Bull Demon King, has any objections, then he will be arrested too!
It’s not a big deal!
Yang Jian asked: "Brother Li, what are you going to do?"
Li Anran said: "What else can I do! My arms can't hold my thighs. The matters of seeking scriptures from the West and going to the cave of the Eight Immortals were negotiated by the gods and Buddhas of the three realms. No matter what they want to do, I will push it on the Jade Emperor. The Jade Emperor asked I will do it if I do it, and if the Jade Emperor doesn’t let me do it, I won’t do it!”
Li Anran's attitude is very clear.
If the sky falls, a tall person will hold it up!
He is a minister of the Heavenly Court, so he should blame everything on the Jade Emperor. If he can, he can do it, and if he can't, he can leave. Anyway, he will make no mistakes, take responsibility, and take the blame!
Yang Jian was not surprised by Li Anran's attitude, but he was not optimistic at all.
In the midst of a catastrophe, ordinary beings who want to stay out of the situation may be able to do so, but it would be a bit naive for a person who is facing the disaster to want to stay out of the situation!
When the fate of cause and effect gathers on you, there are many things that you cannot avoid even if you want to!
This was the case with the original Jiejiao!
Yang Jian was very honest with Li Anran and directly told Li Anran his thoughts.
Li Anran doesn't think so.
"Second brother, the previous catastrophes were unavoidable because the catastrophes were created by heaven and earth. They were ruthless and desireless, and treated everyone equally."
"It's different now! Today's disasters are all artificially designed and detonated in advance. If there are people involved, then they will not be ruthless and will not treat everyone equally, and they will definitely be inseparable from the word profit."
"I just need to let them know that provoking me will outweigh the gains and losses, even blood loss. Naturally, they will not drag me into the catastrophe."
Yang Jian was startled and looked thoughtful.
He had previously viewed things from the perspective of disaster and karma, and had never thought of starting from the perspective of human nature and interests.
At this time, I suddenly realized that the catastrophe today was different from the previous ones!
It is no longer just the way of heaven that dominates all this, but also the way of humanity!
The weight of human heart, human nature, and human desires is more important than ever before!
Human heart, human nature, human desires...humanity...
The weight of humanity is increasing!
There seemed to be a flash of thunder in Yang Jian's head, and a thought suddenly came to his mind.
During the Catastrophe of the Gods, all the saints knew the calamity in advance, planned it in advance, and plotted against each other. Could it be that human nature was at work?
Also, the Lich catastrophe earlier!
Although his master, Master Yuding, did not say it explicitly, it can be seen from the information he occasionally revealed.
The conflict between the two clans of the Wu clan will become deeper and deeper until a war that almost destroys the world breaks out.
There is Xuanmen behind it, especially the shadow of the Second Saint of the West!
Isn't this human nature interfering with the operation of heaven?
Humanity is growing!
Heaven is declining!
Yang Jian came to a conclusion.
And the beginning of all this...
It was when Taoist Hongjun was preaching in Zixiao Palace!
Yang Jian's pupils shrank suddenly, and he instantly felt frightened and his scalp was numb.
Yes, it was the sermons of Taoist Hongjun that made the Six Saints, Three Thousand Powers and even all living beings in the Three Realms awaken and realize the existence of heaven!
From then on, all sentient beings in the three realms will consider the fate of cause and effect!
Since then, everything they have done can be said to be humane interference in the movement of heaven!
Complying with the destiny is human nature interfering with the operation of heaven!
It is contrary to nature, and it is human nature interfering with the operation of heaven!
It’s just that the degree of interference between the two sides is different!
But now, the way of humanity is no longer interfering with the way of heaven, but trying to control the way of heaven!
Yang Jian suddenly thought of a possibility.
Could it be that the protagonist of this catastrophe is not Taoist Buddhism or the Heavenly Mountain at all, but the battle between humanity and heaven?
Yang Jian's breath was stagnant.
Extreme panic made his whole body tremble.
If his guess is true, then what the gods and Buddhas of the three realms are doing now is not at all eliminating karma and resolving the catastrophe, but they are rushing all the way to the catastrophe!
The Lich War hit the Tianzhu Buzhou Mountain and almost destroyed the entire prehistoric continent.
The dispute over Interpretation and Interpretation shattered the ancient world into four major continents, almost repeating the story of earth, water, fire, and wind.
What will happen to the dispute between humanity and heaven?
Yang Jian couldn't imagine it.
But he knew that it would be a scene countless times more terrifying and tragic than the Lich Catastrophe and the Gods Catastrophe!
"Second brother? Second brother?"
Li Anran shouted several times before Yang Jian came back to his senses.
"What's wrong with you?" Li Anran noticed that Yang Jian's face was pale and his forehead was dripping with cold sweat, and he was a little confused.
Yang Jian is a monk in the Daluo realm, with three flowers gathered at the top and five qi rising up, so how could he look so weak and panicked?
It can't be because you're scared, right?
Li Anran amused himself as soon as the idea came up.
Is there anyone in these three realms who can scare Yang Jian, the God of Justice, into such a state?
Even if a saint appears in this world, it will probably be difficult!
"nothing."
Yang Jian forced a smile and did not tell Li Anran his guess.
First of all, his speculation was too outrageous and shocking, and there was no evidence. It was like a moment of hysteria.
Secondly, he himself didn't think it through clearly.
He wanted to wait until he had thought more clearly, preferably after finding some evidence, before telling Li Anran, Taiyi Tianzun and the others about the matter.
Yang Jian took a deep breath, calmed down, and said: "Brother Li, just do what you say. As long as you insist that you are acting in accordance with the laws of heaven and you don't know anything else, you don't have to worry about anyone. Out. I'll take care of everything."
