"Brother, do you think we have made such a great contribution this time, how will the Jade Emperor reward us? He won't just reward us with gold beads and other things like before, right?"
"Probably not. This time is different from the past. The Bull Demon King summoned so many monsters and made such a big fuss. This credit is beyond the sky! If he doesn't reward him heavily, who will be willing to work for the heaven in the future? ?”
"Yes, if the Second Master and Brother Li hadn't taken action, I don't know how long this matter would have been delayed. I think the Jade Emperor will have to raise our immortality level this time!"
"What are you thinking about? Even if we are just a heavenly soldier, who in the Three Realms would dare to be disrespectful to us?"
"Hahahaha, too."
Outside the Lingxiao Palace, in the Xuande Palace.
The Meishan brothers were chatting and laughing, waiting for the Jade Emperor's reward, when they saw Yang Jian walking out in white clothes.
Everyone was stunned.
In order to maintain the majesty of the God of Justice, Yang Jian always wore a black God of Justice robe in front of others. They had not seen him dressed so casually for a long time.
What's happening here?
The Meishan brothers looked at each other and saw confusion on each other's faces. They immediately put away their smiles and stepped forward: "Second Master."
Yang Jian nodded slightly and ordered: "Boss, you immediately go to Judiciary Temple to gather all our people and come to Dongtianmen. We will return to the river mouth."
"Refilling the river mouth?" Everyone looked confused.
Since Yang Jian became the God of Justice, he spent most of his time in the four major heavenly temples in heaven.
When I have free time, I only go to the Three Notre Dame Palace in Huashan to meet the Three Notre Dames and Yao Ji. I haven’t been to Guanjiangkou for a long time.
Boss Kang couldn't help but ask: "Second Master, what happened? Are you so anxious to return to the river mouth?"
Yang Jian said: "I was removed from the post of judicial god by the Jade Emperor and demoted back to Guanjiangkou to continue as a local immortal."
Yang Jian said it as calmly as if he had taken a sip of water.
Brother Meishan's eyes widened with disbelief on his face.
Li Laosi was anxious: "Second Master, we just came down to earth and annihilated those evildoers in Cuiyun Mountain. The Jade Emperor did not give rewards for our merits, but also dismissed Second Master from his position? This... what is the truth of this?!"
Lao Liu nodded repeatedly and agreed, "That's right! I've never heard of being dismissed from office despite having made great contributions! This is too ridiculous! Even those who kill donkeys are not killed like this!"
The other Meishan brothers also had angry expressions on their faces and started shouting.
"Is the Jade Emperor confused? Second Master, let's go find him for an explanation!"
"Yes! Ask him for an explanation!"
"alright."
Yang Jian stopped everyone and said in a deep voice: "Return to the mouth of the river first."
"……yes."
The Meishan brothers were unwilling to give up, but seeing that Yang Jian's attitude was unquestionable, they had no choice but to suppress these emotions.
Boss Kang immediately went to the Judicial Temple to summon the Caotou God, and the others followed Yang Jian to the East Tianmen first.
"Second brother, wait for me!"
Nezha chased him out of Lingxiao Palace.
Yang Jian: "..." After so many years, there is still no change.
A flash of helplessness flashed in Yang Jian's eyes. He stopped his head and twisted a silencing spell with his right hand. A ripple swept across, blocking out the surrounding sounds.
Sure enough, before Nezha could reach Yang Jian, he angrily defended him.
"Second brother, that Haotian is such a bastard! If he can't solve the problem, he will solve the person who raised the problem!"
Nezha's voice was loud, almost at the top of his lungs, and he didn't hesitate to hold back.
If he hadn't cast a silencing spell in advance, these words would probably have been transmitted directly into the Lingxiao Palace.
He had already fallen out with the Jade Emperor, so he had nothing to fear, but if Nezha had to stay in the heaven, there would probably be a lot of trouble.
Nezha was also aware of the existence of the Silence Curse, and spoke even more without scruples: "Second brother, Haotian did not dare to offend Lingshan and Ran Deng, so he dismissed you from your post, second brother. Are we just easy to bully! Let's go and do it now Yuan Shan goes to my master and asks him to seek justice for us!"
Nezha grabbed Yang Jian's arm and was about to fly to the Golden Light Cave in Qianyuan Mountain.
"Brother Nezha, there is no need to trouble Uncle Taiyi."
Yang Jian stopped Nezha and said, "I have figured it out. Instead of being a judicial god who is restricted everywhere, it is better to return to the mouth of the river and be a free and easy earthly immortal, which is more to my liking."
Nezha was startled and blurted out: "Second brother, don't you want to..."
Nezha originally wanted to say, "Don't you want to change the rules of heaven?", but suddenly noticed the blocking in Yang Jian's eyes, and quickly changed his words: "Will you live like this for the rest of your life?"
I just have some doubts in my heart: "Hasn't the second brother already used the silencing spell, and outsiders can't hear us at all? Why are we still so cautious?"
Yang Jian said calmly: "Why not? Sitting in the Yellow Courtyard and watching the clouds rolling and relaxing, and having a few friends over to cook wine and talk about Taoism, isn't it much better than being trapped in this heavenly court?"
"Second Master."
At this time, Brother Meishan also roughly guessed what happened in Lingxiao Palace, with different expressions.
Some people were very angry with the Jade Emperor: "We have done so much for heaven, and the Jade Emperor dismissed the Second Master as the God of Justice just because of this. He is really heartless and unkind!"
Someone responded with relief to Yang Jian: "It doesn't matter if it's back to Guanjiangkou, this heaven is deserted, there are too many rules, and there's no human touch. It's better to live comfortably in Guanjiangkou."
However, there are also people who frown but hesitate to speak.
Li Laosi hesitated for a moment and couldn't help but said: "Second Master, these three realms are the Jade Emperor's three realms. He himself doesn't care about the rules of heaven. If he wants to spare those three monsters, why do you have to worry about him? "
Lao Liu also nodded: "Yes, Second Master. The Jade Emperor originally has the power to pardon prisoners. We just do what we should do. As for the rest, what does it have to do with us?"
Nezha heard this and suddenly understood why Yang Jian stopped him.
After so many years, the Meishan brothers are no longer what they used to be... No!
Nezha quickly rejected his idea.
Maybe they were like this to begin with, but it was just that they didn't have access to such great authority back then, so it wasn't exposed.
Yang Jian and the Meishan brothers have been together for a longer time, and they can see much more clearly than Nezha.
He was indeed wary of the Meishan brothers, but he was not worried that the Meishan brothers would betray him as Nezha thought.
It's just that their concepts are very different.
He was worried that Brother Meishan would do something unacceptable to him just because he was "good for him."
By then, it may be difficult for this brother to continue doing this!
Yang Jian glanced at the Meishan brothers in front of him and did not comment on their words. He just thought silently in his heart: "It's time."
A few people had already arrived outside Dongtianmen while talking.
Soon, Boss Kang led a group of grass-headed gods to fly over.
Seeing such a huge battle, King Dhritarashtra hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "God of justice, but there are monsters causing trouble in the lower realms?"
"It has nothing to do with monsters." Yang Jian said: "Yang Jian came from the Guanjiang estuary. Now he is no longer the god of justice. He should go back to the Guanjiang estuary."
"ah?!"
King Chiguo was greatly surprised, and just as he was about to ask a few more questions, Yang Jian had already taken Nezha, the Meishan brothers, and a group of grass-headed gods to fly to the mouth of the Guanjiang River in Dongsheng Shenzhou.
The river estuary has not been irrigated for hundreds of years, and the river estuary is much more prosperous than it was back then.
The streets are crowded with people coming and going, various merchants are walking around in the shops, and the sound of hawking is endless.
Although ordinary people are simply dressed, they always have smiles on their faces, which means they obviously live a prosperous and healthy life.
The monks mingled among them, and they all restrained their auras. They looked no different from ordinary people. They only occasionally used the skills of soaring into the clouds and riding cranes, which caused the ordinary people to exclaim.
Yang Jian has served as the god of justice for hundreds of years, and he is powerful in the three realms. As his former fiefdom, Guanjiangkou naturally has good weather and no evil spirits. It is difficult not to prosper.
Erlang Zhenjun's Mansion is located directly behind the Guanjiangkou Zhenjun Temple. It is still the same as before, without any change.
"Grandpa Erlang."
As soon as Yang Jian and the others settled down from the clouds, a steward led the servants to greet them, kowtow and salute.
Yang Jian ordered: "Prepare some wine and food for me."
"Yes." The housekeeper responded quickly.
In just a moment, he directed the servants to put a table of wine and food in the yard according to Yang Jian's instructions.
"Second Master."
Boss Kang also heard about Yang Jian from the Meishan brothers and said with a smile: "This time I return to Guanjiangkou, it is really comfortable everywhere! I used to be the most reluctant to hear the noisy sounds outside, but now I can hear them in my ears. It's very friendly, much better than the deserted Judiciary Temple!"
"Of course!" Zhang Laoer said: "There are so many and complicated rules in heaven, how can it be as comfortable as returning to my own home? I have wanted to come back for a long time!"
Nezha didn't speak, just silently observing from the side.
Boss Kang has a forthright temperament and values righteousness over profit. He doesn't care where he goes, as long as he can be with his brothers.
Zhang Laoer has a free and unrestrained temperament. He really doesn't like heaven, and prefers to stay at ease in the mortal world.
Yao Laosan and Guo Laowu, one values food and the other is obsessed with martial arts. They don't care whether they stay in the heaven or at the mouth of the river.
Only Li Laosi and Zhi Laoliu smiled a little reluctantly, obviously reluctant to part with their majesty and power in heaven.
Yang Jian also saw all this in his eyes and asked: "Boss, brothers, you have been with me for more than 3,700 years, right?"
Boss Kang said: "It's been three thousand seven hundred and ninety-three years. Back then, our brothers accidentally offended a tiger demon and were chased by him all the way. It was Er Ye who saved us and taught us how to practice." Law."
Zhang Laoer then said: "Yes. I also had one of my arms removed by the tiger demon, and it was Er Ye who helped me put it back on, otherwise I would have to be a one-armed cripple."
Yao Laosan and Guo Laowu also recalled Yang Jian's kindness to them back then.
Li Laosi was a little confused and asked: "Second Master, why do you suddenly ask about this?"
Yang Jian did not answer, but sighed: "Three thousand seven hundred and ninety-three years, time flies so fast. Over the years, have you ever thought about what you want to do?"
"Ah?!" The Meishan brothers were both stunned and looked at each other. They didn't expect Yang Jian to suddenly talk about this.
"Boss Kang, you speak first." Yang Jian took the initiative to call his name.
Boss Kang scratched his head and felt a little embarrassed: "Second Master, I really haven't thought about it. I just think it would be great if we brothers are together. Everything else is not important."
Yang Jian nodded and looked at Zhang Laoer: "Laoer, what about you?"
"I……"
Zhang Laoer hesitated for a moment and said: "I have been too busy in Heaven these years. If possible, I would like to walk around and see different things in the Three Realms."
Yang Jian nodded and looked at the other four people.
As expected, Yao Laosan said: "I don't have any big ambitions, as long as I can eat well and drink well."
When it came to Li Laosi, he got stuck.
Li Laosi is the smartest and most thoughtful among the Meishan brothers. He has already noticed Yang Jian's intention in asking this question.
He was torn between telling the truth or lying for the sake of brotherhood.
In the end, Li Laosi was reluctant to miss this opportunity. He gritted his teeth and said, "I think it would be good to be in heaven..."
"Fourth!" Boss Kang glared, interrupted Li Laosi, and became a little angry.
Although it is not stated clearly, the meaning of blame is very obvious: The second master has just been dismissed from the post of judicial god by the Jade Emperor and demoted to the mortal world. What do you mean by this?
"Brother." Li Laosi defended with a look of grievance: "It was the second master who asked us to tell the truth. I can't lie to the second master, right?"
"You!" Boss Kang was about to say something, but Yang Jian stopped him: "Boss! I want to hear the true words of my brothers! Fourth brother, go on."
"Second Master, I really am not greedy for power!"
Li Laosi said: "I just feel that we use the power in our hands to punish those sinful immortals and demons who do evil, reward those immortals who are dedicated to their official duties, and change the three realms for the better little by little. I feel very accomplished and happy."
Zhi Laoliu hesitated for a moment and then weakly said: "I think what Fourth Brother said makes sense. I am also like this..."
"Lao Liu!" Boss Kang glared angrily, while Zhang Lao Er frowned.
Nezha's eyes immediately turned cold.
He was on good terms with the Meishan brothers entirely because of Yang Jian, and naturally he would also be at odds with them because of Yang Jian.
Yang Jian nodded and agreed: "Indeed. This is a great sense of accomplishment. What about you, Lao Wu? What do you want to do?"
Guo Shen originally wanted to say that it was not bad when he was in Heaven, but he was overtaken by Nao Jian. Seeing the angry look on Boss Kang's face, even though he was not very smart, he did not dare to say this again, so he said calmly: "Yes. , Just have a fight."
After hearing this, Yang Jian didn't say anything more, but changed the topic as if nothing happened just now.
The six Meishan brothers didn't have this kind of mentality. They all just had their thoughts written on their faces, and the table full of food and wine was like chewing wax.
At this moment, a golden light fell from the sky.
"Li Anran!" Nezha's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help complaining: "Why did you come just now!"
Before Li Anran spoke, Yang Jian had already explained for Li Anran: "Brother Nezha, you know that everyone is as impulsive and willful as you! If brother Li Anran left halfway like you, how would we know what happened after I left? what happened?"
Then he said to Boss Kang: "Boss Kang, you have worked hard these days, go and rest first. I have something to discuss with brother Li Anran."
Yang Jian's attitude was magnanimous and he did not lie or deceive, but his attitude was obviously to avoid their brothers.
Boss Kang had a complicated mood, but when he thought of what his brother had just said, he had nothing to say. He could only glare at Li Laosi and Zhi Laoli angrily: "What are you still doing? Let's go rest!"
Li Anran practiced the Hehuan Kung Fu and was very sensitive to emotions.
Although he didn't know what had happened here, he could guess it at a glance.
After the Meishan brothers left, Nezha couldn't bear it any longer and asked, "Second brother, when you asked them what they wanted to do just now, were you planning to pave the way for them in advance?"
Yang Jian nodded and admitted.
Nezha curled his lips and said, "Second brother, you are too kind to them!"
Li Anran's heart moved, but what he thought of was another thing.
When Yang Jian had the idea of modifying the Heavenly Court, it was just to leave a way out for the Three Holy Mothers, and he was not worried about the safety of the Meishan brothers.
This time, even the Meishan brothers’ escape path must be paved in advance!
What kind of irreversible thoughts did he have?
