With the Book of Punishment in hand, Li Anran determined the location of the fake Tongtian with just a few moments of induction, and galloped away with Yang Jian in the clouds.
On the way, Li Anran couldn't help but complain to Yang Jian: "My master and Taishang Laojun are really interesting! They clearly knew the whereabouts of the fake Tongtian, but they refused to tell us and tricked us into finding our own way. I really thought that as long as we follow the instructions If you go through the script process once, you can fool Heaven!"
Yang Jian said: "They know that what they are doing is cheating, and they try to act more realistically, just for peace of mind."
Li Anran nodded in agreement.
Taiyi Tianzun is worried that the gods and Buddhas of the three realms joining forces to eliminate the calamity will be self-defeating. Why are other gods not worried?
It's just that a catastrophe is approaching, and there is no better way, so I can only bite the bullet and give it a try.
Li Anran asked with some worry: "Second brother, what is Nezha's current situation? My master gave me the Three Lights Divine Water."
Li Anran has been in seclusion for many years to practice the Four Swords of Immortals. This is his first contact with Lu Dongbin and the others, and it is also his first time to enter the doom of Dongsheng Shenzhou.
This is not the first time for Yang Jian.
As early as a few years ago, Taiyi Tianzun asked Jinxia Boy to pass on an oral message, asking Yang Jian to find an opportunity to participate in the Eight Immortals Calamity and gain a share of merit.
Yang Jian was not interested in this matter at all.
In the original time and space, when Taiyi Tianzun was studying for scriptures in the West, he asked Jinxia Tong'er to pass on a similar oral instruction to him.
Yang Jian repeatedly refused because of his busy official duties. Until he couldn't shirk it, he had to take the Meishan brothers to Xiniu Hezhou to help the monkey deal with the nine-headed worm.
That was also Yang Jian's first and only appearance in Journey to the West since he conquered Huaguo Mountain.
Yang Jian was also not interested in participating in the Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea in Dongsheng Shenzhou.
However, as a Xuanmen disciple, he really couldn't refuse Taiyi Tianzun.
In desperation, he could only let Roaring Sky Dog descend to earth to cause some trouble for Lu Dongbin, and then descend to earth himself to clean up the mess.
As a result, the legend of "a dog bites Lu Dongbin and does not recognize a good heart" remains.
When Nezha had an accident this time, Yang Jian rushed to the Eight Immortals' residence as soon as possible, knowing that the situation should be more complicated than him.
Unexpectedly, when Yang Jian heard "Three Lights Divine Water", his expression suddenly changed and he shouted out loud: "Uncle Taiyi gave you all the Three Lights Divine Water?"
Li Anran's heart sank, and he immediately took out the Three Lights Divine Water and told him about his sudden heart palpitations while in seclusion and a premonition that something bad was going to happen.
Yang Jian's face became even more ugly.
He knew that Nezha was hanging out with the Eight Immortals in Dongsheng China.
It is also clear that this was a deliberate arrangement by Taiyi Tianzun. The purpose was to let Nezha break through the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm during the catastrophe and gain some merit by the way.
Therefore, before Yang Jian came, he always thought that today's incident was another scene of monsters catching Tang Monk, but now it seems that is not the case.
"Brother Li Anran, if we hurry up, Nezha's situation may be very bad! Although I knew about this earlier than you, Master Taiyi didn't tell me anything and only asked Jiuling Yuan Sheng to go to justice. A decree was passed down from the Temple of Heaven, ordering me to descend to earth to help the Eight Immortals rescue Nezha!"
Li Anran nodded and increased his speed.
In just a moment, they crossed most of Dongsheng China and stopped at the top of a mountain range.
This mountain range is majestic and stretches for thousands of miles, with dozens of peaks standing tall. The top of the highest peak is covered with snow, reflecting the green and dyed mountains around it, giving it a somewhat secluded and independent feel.
Yang Jian glanced around and stopped at the slightly lower peak on the left side of the highest peak. Five words popped out of his mouth coldly: "Damn evil!"
Yang Jian's voice was not loud, and there was no anger on his face, but only those who knew him well knew how angry Yang Jian was at this time.
"Second brother, let's save people first." Li Anran reminded.
He knew exactly why Yang Jian was so angry.
These peaks look unremarkable, but in fact they form a large spiritual formation.
That's right, it's about arresting spirits, not gathering spirits!
Jie Tongtian was worried that his whereabouts would be exposed, so he set up a spirit arresting formation in this mountain range.
Any creature that enters it cannot leave while alive. Even if it dies, its soul must remain in the formation forever.
It seems that the method is superb and thoughtful, but in fact it is just a fool!
In such a large mountain range, no soul has entered the underworld for more than 20 years. Even a fool can tell that something is wrong!
The fake Tongtian is actually complacent. In order to prevent the ghosts and resentments from spreading around, he even refined these dead souls into Ten Thousand Soul Banners, turning them into ghosts and never being reincarnated!
Such behavior is no longer harmful to the harmony of heaven, but deserves to be punished by heaven!
What makes Yang Jian even more unacceptable is that these things happened under the eyes of Taiyi Tianzun and Taishang Laojun, and it can even be said that they acquiesced.
The purpose is to make the false Tongtian carry more karma and calamity, so that the Eight Immortals can gain more merits and make this man-made calamity more effective in eliminating calamity.
The word "evil obstacle" he used to curse was false, but he was also scolding Taiyi Tianzun, Taishang Laojun, who was deliberately conniving, and those gods and Buddhas who knew all this but regarded the living beings in the world as ants!
Yang Jian said "Yeah", and the anger and murderous intention around him that was about to condense into substance had been restrained.
Li Anran observed the spirit-binding formation below, and quickly saw through it. He used his fingers to draw two golden talismans in the air, and stuck them on Yang Jian and himself respectively, and said: "Second brother, let's go down. .”
"Okay." Yang Jian nodded.
Although he is not good at formations, as a Daluo Jinxian, all methods lead to the same goal through different paths, so he still has good eyesight.
He could tell at a glance that Li Anran's talisman not only allowed them to freely enter and exit the spirit-binding formation without triggering it, but it could also cover their auras and prevent them from being detected by the fake Tongtian.
It’s not easy to do one of these two things, but it’s even more difficult to do two things in such a short period of time!
Brother Li Anran's profound attainments in formations are probably unmatched by anyone in the three realms!
Yang Jian couldn't help but admire in his heart.
Assuming that Tongtian was bitten by a snake for ten years, he was afraid of the well rope and was worried about being discovered by the heaven. There was no mountain gate at the entrance of the cave, and he used magic to cover it up. It looked no different from the stone wall.
If it were Lu Dongbin and the others, they would probably be deceived by him.
But this time it was Li Anran and Yang Jian who came. His concealing spell was more like a sign that there was no silver in this place, and they were spotted by them at a glance.
Li Anran and Yang Jian did not use any transformation techniques, but directly used the magic power of Ruyi to transform themselves into the size of sesame seeds and slipped through the crack in the door.
All living beings within the confines of the Soul Array have long since died, and have become ghosts in the fake Ten Thousand Souls Banner. No matter what they become, it is just superfluous.
The cave in Fake Tongtian is quite heavily guarded. As soon as you enter the cave door, there are dozens of little demons guarding the left and right sides.
A wolf demon leader wearing armor and holding a big sword was giving them instructions: "Get your spirits up! The leader said that he captured Nezha, the great god of the Three Altar Haihui in Heaven, and Heaven will probably send people to come and cause trouble for us! "
"Their god of justice, Yang Jian, is the best at turning into insects, moths, etc. Keep an eye on me. If you see these things, tell me immediately! If you let him sneak in, you will all have to go to the Ten Thousand Soul Banners." You’re being fooled!”
Yang Jian:"……"
Li Anran didn't hesitate at all. He waved his right hand, and an invisible ripple swept across. These monsters didn't even have a chance to react, and they instantly turned into ashes and disappeared.
In order not to disturb the spirit-binding formation, Li Anran didn't even leave their souls behind and just dispersed them.
Yang Jian was stunned for a moment. Although he didn't speak, his expression was very obvious——
Don’t we have to sneak in first and save people?
Li Anran explained: "As long as we kill everyone, no one will know that we have sneaked in."
Yang Jian: "!!!" Although it sounds a little strange, it seems to be the truth!
Yang Jian felt as if the door to a new world had been opened.
Buzz!
Yang Jian learned quickly. With a glare, two divine lights burst out and killed all the monsters in the other group who came to take over. Their souls were also scattered and evaporated directly.
Compared to Li Anran, Yang Jian truly hates evil and hates the monsters here even more deeply.
The two of them continued walking inside.
Yang Jian has a celestial eye, and Li Anran's five senses are far beyond those of ordinary monks.
Even if the two of them don't use their spiritual sense to sense their surroundings, they can easily find the hiding place of every monster and disperse their bodies and souls directly.
Thanks to the Imperial Flow event thirteen years ago, Fake Tongtian has recruited many subordinates over the years and put a lot of effort into training them.
Many of the monster bosses have true immortal cultivation. In the former Xiniu Hezhou, they could already occupy a small hilltop and call themselves kings.
The monster leaders who guard some important levels, such as the wolf monster guarding the cave door, have the cultivation of immortals.
However, in front of Yang Jian, the Great Luo Jinxian, and Li Anran, whose combat power was comparable to that of the Great Luo Jinxian, they were not much different from ordinary beasts.
Li Anran and Yang Jian can make their souls fly away with just one move.
The two of them walked all the way, and as soon as they reached the mountainside, they had already killed no less than a thousand monsters.
At this moment, Yang Jian frowned and stopped.
Li Anran also quickly understood why Yang Jian had such a reaction.
Someone is coming again!
two!
One is a monster and the other is a god!
Shen Gongbao, the god of water-dividing generals in the East China Sea!
If this was during the Catastrophe of the Gods, Yang Jian must have killed Shen Gongbao and the monster without saying a word, dispersed their souls, and continued to implement Li Anran's "Kill all witnesses, so no one will know that we have sneaked in." "The infiltration policy.
However, Yang Jian knew that Shen Gongbao at this time was different from when he was a god!
When he was anointed as a god, Shen Gongbao sincerely defected to Jiejiao to prove that he was better than Jiang Ziya and avenge the contempt he received from the entire Chanjiao sect.
Now Shen Gongbao is an undercover traitor sent by Taishang Laojun to help Taishang Laojun complete his plan for the Eight Immortals.
It is definitely impossible to kill, but if you want to capture him alive, especially if you want to capture him alive without making any noise, it will be a bit troublesome!
Shen Gongbao is not one of those mountain monsters with little knowledge under Fake Tongtian. He has spent time in the Second Sect of Interpretation and Interpretation, so he must have many ways to save his life.
It's not easy to capture him alive without killing him!
More importantly, Shen Gongbao didn't know that Yang Jian knew about his undercover status.
In order to play the role of the fake Tongtian military advisor and to save his own life, he must have run away immediately when he saw Yang Jian and informed the fake Tongtian!
On the other hand, the monster traveling with Shen Gongbao, although he was also full of monster aura and his cultivation reached the level of Xuanxian, it was nothing. He could just kill him!
Yang Jian was worried when he heard Li Anran say: "Second brother, let me do it!"
Compared with Yang Jian, Li Anran's biggest advantage is that he has many magic weapons. Yang Jian can only rely on himself, but he can rely on magic weapons!
Li Anran first stretched out his hand and drew several talismans in the void, isolating a hundred meters radius from the spirit arresting formation outside.
Then, he took out four more sword pills from his arms, flicked them and landed them in all directions of the cave. Then he and Yang Jian hid aside, just waiting for Shen Gongbao and the monster to walk in.
His sword pill was refined by collecting the sword energy of the Four Swords of Zhuxian. The Zhuxian array arranged into it can have about one thousandth of the power of the real Zhuxian array.
The only drawback is that they are disposable items and will collapse when the sword energy is used up.
"Master Shen Gong, the leader said that no one is allowed to leave without permission. If we go out now, wouldn't it be bad if the leader finds out?"
"Marshal An, we are not leaving this spirit-binding formation. We are just going to find some mountain springs outside the cave to drink tea. What does that mean? If you don't want to, Pindao can go alone!"
"Why don't you want to! I have been thinking about Master Shen's Immortal Tea since I drank it last time, but...just...forget it, just go ahead! We will be out for two or three hours, the leader shouldn't You’ll find out!”
"That's right! Pindao's fairy tea can be picked from Wuyi Mountain. If there is no mountain spring water to brew it, it will be a waste!"
…
The sound of conversation between Shen Gongbao and the monster came to his ears.
Li Anran and Yang Jian looked at each other and became convinced.
Shen Gongbao deliberately lured this monster out to drink tea, probably because he wanted to send a message to the Supreme Lord!
Yang Jian couldn't help but shook his head.
Even Shen Gongbao wanted to save Nezha, but Taishang Laojun and Taiyi Zhenren didn't care and only let the two of them come!
This thing is really ridiculous!
Seeing that the two of them were about to enter the formation arranged by Li Anran, Shen Gongbao suddenly stopped and looked around with a bit of doubt in his expression.
"Did he notice the formation I set up?" Li Anran was a little surprised at first, but soon realized that Shen Gongbao didn't notice it, but instinctively sensed a hint of danger.
"Master Shen, what's wrong? Why don't you leave?"
Marshal An next to him didn't notice anything was wrong at all, and was still urging Shen Gongbao: "Master Shen Gongbao, let's go there quickly and come back early to avoid being discovered and punished by the leader!"
Shen Gongbao hesitated for a moment, then looked left and right, but in the end he couldn't find the problem.
However, he still said carefully: "Marshal An, please!"
He deliberately fell three or five steps behind Marshal An, ready to escape at any time.
