Tai Laojun looked at Yang Jian doubtfully, and when he confirmed that Yang Jian was not speaking in a high-sounding way, but from his true feelings, a surprised look appeared on his face.
Taishang Laojun looked Yang Jian up and down, as if he was meeting him for the first time.
Yang Jian didn't dodge, he looked at Taishang Laojun's eyes coldly, with a trace of sarcasm in the corner of his mouth.
Taishang Laojun was not angry either. He just shook his head slightly and sighed: "I didn't expect that the third-generation direct disciple of Chanjiao and the powerful judicial god in the three realms would have such thoughts! It was really beyond the expectations of the old Taoist. No, it should be said that it was I’m afraid no one in the entire Three Realms could have predicted it!”
After sighing, Taishang Laojun straightened his face, and said with a hint of warning and persuasion: "Yang Jian, there are some things that should not be said by an old Taoist, but by your master Yuding. But I think of you. I am both a member of Xuanmen, and today the old Taoist is more and more acting as a substitute."
"We cultivators are cultivating the heart, cultivating the Qi, and realizing the Great Way. Everything in the world is just a passing cloud, so what's the point? If you can't even see through this, sooner or later you will fall into a place of eternal disaster. It is still unknown whether the body will die or the path will disappear."
Li Anran felt a little ridiculous when he heard it.
It’s not Xiao Taishang Laojun’s indifference to everything in the world. There are three thousand avenues. Before attaining enlightenment and becoming a saint, no one is right and no one is wrong!
It’s just that Xiao Taishang Laojun’s vision is really small!
Yang Jian not only paid attention to the creatures in the world, but also took them into his heart. He wanted to change the rules of heaven for them so that the gods and Buddhas of the three realms could not act recklessly.
No wonder the master doesn't take him seriously and lets him jump up and down!
Li Anran felt relieved.
Taishang Laojun and the real Supreme Saint are not on the same level at all!
No matter how much he pretends to be noble and indifferent, no matter how much he uses elixirs and magic weapons to form good relationships with potential gods, there is still a sense of calculation and petty ambition.
This kind of person will never be able to win the position of Xuanmen leader!
Even if you put all your efforts into it, it’s just a wedding dress for someone else!
For example, Zhu Bajie.
Taishang Laojun first gave Zhu Bajie the Supreme Treasure Qin Golden Rake that he personally refined, and then gave Zhu Bajie some elixirs to strengthen his body to resist weak water when he was crossing the weak water.
Does Zhu Bajie thank Taishang Laojun?
Thanks, but that’s all!
Going forward, Taishang Laojun's status in his heart is not as good as that of his master Donghua Dijun who gave him the Nine Turns Pill and taught him the skills.
From now on, I will not be able to compare with Lingshan Tathagata.
When the critical moment comes, Zhu Bajie will definitely abandon Taishang Laojun without hesitation.
This point is most directly demonstrated in the incident of Che Chiguo in the original time and space.
When Buddhism in Chechi State used the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism in the human world to make the four masters and disciples of Tang Seng express their opinions and pledge their names.
Zhu Bajie directly encouraged the monkey to throw the Sanqing clay sculpture into the latrine to show that he was severing ties with Taoism and was of one mind with Buddhism. He had no scruples about the golden rake and elixir given to him by Taishang Laojun.
Taishang Laojun became so angry that he sent his own green ox down to earth with the diamond, and severely tortured and humiliated Tang Monk and the four of them.
It wasn't until Tathagata deliberately sent Arhat to deliver gold sand to apologize that he would give up.
The last time Taishang Laojun lost his temper like this can be traced back to five hundred years ago, when the monkeys made a big fuss in the heavenly palace and swallowed up all the elixirs he refined.
"Life and death are all determined by fate. I don't need to worry about what happens to me in the future." Yang Jian choked back with Taishang Laojun's words.
Taishang Laojun: "..."
Taishang Laojun opened his mouth, and it took him a long time to say: "Yang Jian, I have good intentions to advise you, but you are stubborn and stubborn. You will regret it in the future." But he was a little annoyed.
Yang Jian stopped talking to Taishang Laojun and said directly: "If Taishang Taoist Ancestor is here just for this matter, then please go back. Nezha was attacked by the demon Taoist and was injured. We are going to heal him." .”
Taishang Laojun's face looked a little ugly, but the Taoist boy next to him seemed to have grasped the clue. His eyes lit up and he said sarcastically: "What billions of creatures! Humph! It's just a cover! In the end, it wasn't the evil Taoist who was injured. Nezha, you want to avenge your private vengeance!"
"What is a personal feud?" Yang Jian looked over coldly.
The Taoist boy trembled with fright, and subconsciously looked at Taishang Laojun. Seeing that Taishang Laojun remained silent, he understood Taishang Laojun's attitude, and his courage suddenly returned to him.
"This is called a personal feud!" the Taoist boy said loudly: "If the evil Taoist hadn't injured Nezha, would you still be holding on to him?"
"presumptuous!"
Before Yang Jian could speak, Li Anran shouted loudly, stretched out his hand and spurted out magic power, about to capture the Taoist boy.
The Taoist boy was different from the mighty prison priest, but he was a member of Laojun's sect, so he no longer sat idly by.
"Prison God, Chi Yan'er just expressed the doubts in his heart. If the Prison God is willing to explain to him, just explain it. If you don't want to explain to him, just pretend that you haven't heard. Why should you be familiar with him."
Taishang Laojun flicked the whisk in his hand, and a ray of green light flew out, turning into a translucent barrier, blocking Li Anran's magic power.
"You can eat randomly, but you can't talk nonsense! Taishang Daozu, if you can't manage your subordinates, I will take care of it for you!"
Li Anran took one step forward, and his body suddenly disappeared. He was so fast that he seemed to have traveled through time and space.
The next moment, he appeared in front of the green light barrier.
boom!
Li Anran threw out a punch, which seemed ordinary, but the terrifying power directly shattered the void.
Wherever the fist passed, space cracks like black lightning continued to form and annihilate.
Click!
The cyan barrier only lasted for a moment, and then it was like ice crystals shattering, turning into countless tiny flakes of light and dissipating.
Daotong's pupils shrank suddenly, and he was stunned in place.
In his eyes, Li Anran's fist was magnifying infinitely, and in an instant it filled the entire world, pressing down on him.
He was like an ant, unable to hide or escape, and could only wait there to die.
Taishang Laojun was also startled. He hurriedly moved the fly whisk to his left hand, and suddenly a small dark red flag, one foot and seven inches long, appeared in front of him.
It is the off-the-ground fireworks flag among the five innate flags!
Buzz!
The fireworks flag lifted off the ground automatically and made a roaring sound without wind. A stream of dark red flames washed out from the flag and turned into a sea of fire.
In the sea of fire, countless red lotuses bloomed, swaying gently, emitting seven-colored rays of light, and surrounding them with mist.
boom! boom! boom! boom!
One red lotus after another was shattered, as if fireworks exploded in the void, and merged into the surrounding red lotuses, making those fire lotuses more and more bright and bright, and the flames became more and more raging.
Li Anran's fist is more powerful than one red lotus, ten red lotuses, a hundred red lotuses or even a thousand red lotuses.
However, there are more than thousands of red lotuses in the void!
Li Anran's full punch was quickly wiped out by the endless red lotus.
Let's do it! Let's deal with it!
Li Anran noticed that the Four Swords of Zhu Xian in his body were about to move. Although they could not speak, the emotions conveyed to Li Anran's mind were that of joy, excitement, war, and wanting to jump out.
Li Anran: ...You really recorded the Wuji apricot yellow flag on the Xiantian Five Directions flag!
Li Anran has no problem using the Immortal Killing Formation. He had already used it in Cuiyun Mountain in front of the Wudang Holy Mother and Qiongxiao Bixiao, but the Four Immortal Killing Swords are still not visible to anyone now!
Especially if no one knows that they are already on Li Anran!
There is only one of it now, so there is no need for you to take action! I am enough on my own!
Li Anran hurriedly comforted the Four Swordsmen of Zhu Xian.
"enough!"
At this moment, Yang Jian spoke.
Li Anran stopped immediately and retreated to Yang Jian.
Yang Jian opened his mouth and said: "Although Taishang Daozu is an outsider, he knows as much about the affairs of the Three Realms as anyone else. If you can tell me any one thing about the fact that I, Yang Jian, violated the laws of heaven because of my private life, I will Immediately hand over the evil way to you, resign from the post of justice god, and never go to heaven again."
The incident of the Three Holy Mothers has not yet happened. Yang Jian's words were so frank that no one could refute them.
Taishang Laojun is no exception.
However, he used to think that Yang Jian was acting cautiously and not leaving any clues to anyone.
Now it seems that it is really for the fairness and strictness of heaven's rules.
The justice and strictness of heaven and earth's rules?
A flash of sarcasm flashed in Taishang Laojun's eyes, and he said calmly: "The God of Justice handles matters in all three realms, but I am the only child who rarely leaves Tushita Palace, so I have the doubts just now."
"Since the God of Justice is unwilling to hand over the demon way to me, the old Taoist can only go to Miaoyan Palace to discuss the matter with Emperor Qinghua of the East. The gathering of the Eight Immortals is a matter for the old Taoist and Xuanmen. , please also ask the God of Justice and the God of Prisons to consider it again."
Yang Jian said firmly: "No matter who comes, that demon will never be released to the human world again!"
Taishang Laojun said no more and led the Taoist boy beside him to say goodbye and go straight to Miaoyan Palace.
After he walked away, Yang Jian asked: "How?"
Although there were only two words and no cause or effect, Li Anran understood what Yang Jian wanted to ask.
Just like Yang Jian knew that his action was not impulsive, but to test the strength of Taishang Laojun.
"At least he has the strength of Daluo Jinxian." Li Anran paused and then added: "It should be a little weaker than my master, but not too much."
Quasi-sage is not a realm of cultivation, but an honorific title for the Great Luo Jinxian who has killed any one of the three corpses.
Yang Jian nodded.
What Li Anran said was similar to his judgment.
Taishang Laojun is an independent individual transformed from a thought left behind by Taishang Saint before he left the Three Realms.
From this point of view, he is somewhat similar to Fake Tongtian.
Because it is the transformation of the thoughts left by the saint and is incomplete, Taishang Laojun cannot kill three corpses to become a saint——
This is also the reason why Taishang Laojun is obsessed with strengthening the human religion and becomes the head of Xuanmen.
He cannot attain enlightenment and become a saint, which is equivalent to the fact that the monk's greatest pursuit has been cut off, and he can only turn to pursuit of prestige and power!
Similarly, this is also the reason why Li Anran evaluated Taishang Laojun as "the strength of Daluo Jinxian" rather than "the cultivation of Daluo Jinxian".
Taiyi Tianzun has killed both good and evil corpses. Taishang Laojun is slightly worse than him. His strength should be between killing one corpse and killing two corpses.
Coupled with the diamond carving, the off-the-ground fireworks flag, the purple gold gourd, the jade bottle, the rope for binding immortals and other magic weapons left to him by the Taishang Sage, Taishang Laojun's strength may not be worse than Taiyi Tianzun.
Yang Jian said: "Go and heal Nezha first, and I will protect you."
In order to avoid attracting attention, Li Anran deliberately used a formation to cover up Nezha's cell. When Taishang Laojun came just now, he was not able to see Nezha's true condition with his own eyes.
Their conversation was not heard by Fake Tongtian.
Li Anran walked into the cell, sat down cross-legged in front of Nezha, took out the Lotus Lamp, suspended it between the two of them, and began to help Nezha integrate the Lotus Lamp.
Yang Jian stood guard at the door, not letting anyone get close.
They are not worried that Taiyi Tianzun will help Taishang Laojun to ask for fake Tongtian.
First of all, Taiyi Tianzun had doubts about Tathagata's proposal of the gods and Buddhas of the three realms to join forces to resolve the calamity. Although he was willing to cooperate with Taishang Laojun, he did not take it very seriously.
And Yang Jian's reason for detaining Fake Tongtian is extremely valid and legitimate.
Although the great powers of the three realms have long regarded the rules of heaven as toilet paper in reality, on the surface, they will not do anything that violates the rules of heaven.
After all, the rules of heaven were recognized by Taoist Hongjun and the six saints.
Even if they really want to violate it, they will find good reasons to cover it up.
Fake heaven and artificially causing disasters to temper the Eight Immortals are obviously not on the table and cannot be used as a fig leaf.
Secondly, it’s because Taiyi Tianzun probably already knows about Nezha’s current situation!
Taiyi Tianzun knows the strength of Li Anran and Yang Jian, and also knows the strength of Fake Tongtian.
To save Nezha, Li Anran and Yang Jian do not need to join forces.
Especially Yang Jian.
As the judicial god of heaven, he was busy with his duties, but Taiyi Tianzun sent Jiuling Yuan Sheng to tell Yang Jian about the matter, and also gave Li Anran the Three Light Divine Water.
Unsurprisingly, Taiyi Tianzun should have known that Nezha's situation was not good and had prepared for the worst.
Let Yang Jian come, let Yang Jian come to support it, and the Yangbao Lotus Lantern in the hands of the Three Holy Mothers is the basis!
"I don't know how master plans to compensate my second brother. The sacrifice of two lotus lanterns is really big..."
Li Anran didn't waste too much thought on this kind of thing. He quickly calmed down and recited the magic formula silently.
Buzz!
The lotus lantern showed off its dazzling light, flew towards Nezha little by little, and merged into Nezha's body.
The whole process went extremely smoothly.
The two lotus lanterns are originally made from side-by-side lotuses and have the same root. If they had not been picked off by Empress Nuwa and Yao Ji, they would not be separated at all.
When Li Anran urged the Lotus Lantern to merge with Nezha, he could even detect a joyful emotion coming from the Lotus Lantern.
It would be strange if there were any other surprises!
Buzz!
The moment the lotus lantern was integrated into Nezha's body, Nezha's body shone brightly. The originally weak vitality suddenly became extremely powerful, and a vast and holy aura filled the air.
Nezha opened his eyes suddenly, sat up, and looked around blankly.
His eyes swept across Li Anran and fell on Yang Jian who was guarding the door.
Suddenly, a familiar feeling arose in my heart.
It seemed to be the same when he came back from the dead!
Thousands of years have passed, and that figure still stands in front of him, without any change.
