After receiving the order, Fang Jian turned around, holding the Jade Emperor's Dao Calendar in his hand, looking at the Southern Ghost Emperor and saying, "Southern Ghost Emperor, do you know your sin?"
The Southern Ghost Emperor raised his head, looked at Fang Jian, and finally fell on the Jade Emperor's Dao Calendar in his hand, then nodded and said: "The Southern Ghost Emperor, I am guilty."
Fang Jian said: "Okay, since you are aware of the crime, according to Article 18 of the "Tian Tiao: Immortal Official Code": Immortal officials who abuse power for personal gain, misuse official tools of authority, shelter and condone evil criminals should be punished according to the severity of the consequences they cause. . You took advantage of your authority, mistakenly killed the correct cultivator, and forced the Nantian Mansion to hand over the case of the Ghost King of Parthen Mountain, which resulted in the serious consequences of total destruction of evidence and the death of thousands of detained souls. Moreover, because you are the emperor of heaven, every move you make is for the benefit of all sentient beings. If you are not severely punished, it will be difficult for you to follow the example of the spirit. Now I use the authority of the God of Justice to seal the imperial palace and sentence you to be demoted to the mortal world, re-enter reincarnation, and cultivate Taoism again in the next life."
"Ah? This" After hearing Fang Jian's penalty, a sound of horror suddenly sounded in the Lingxiao Palace.
"Zhenjun Hongqing, isn't this sentence too severe?"
"Zhenjun Hongqing, the Southern Ghost Emperor is not guilty of this."
"Yes, why is the sentence so harsh?"
"Please Lord Hongqing to withdraw the sentence and make a new decision."
Everyone again began to question Fang Jian's punishment as being too harsh, but after Fang Jian finished the sentence, amidst the questioning, Jiutian Xuannv spoke again, "Pindao thinks that the punishment imposed by the God of Justice is extremely reasonable."
The Taoist disciples looked at each other, then did not speak, and remained silent.
Emperor Houtu discussed it with Emperor Changsheng of Anji and Emperor Gouchen, and then the three emperors said in unison: "I ask Emperor Ziwei to decide on the punishment of the judicial gods."
Emperor Ziwei said: "I have authorized Fang Jian to have full authority to decide the punishment. Now Fang Jian has already made the decision. In my opinion, it is very reasonable."
With that said, Emperor Ziwei said to the gods and immortals from the Heavenly Court and Tao Sect below: "Each of you will return to the immortal class."
When the gods heard this, they had no choice but to bow and worship: "I will obey the law."
Now the overall situation has been decided. As the gods returned to their respective classes, Emperor Ziwei said to Fang Jian again: "Fang Jian, the God of Justice issues a golden edict."
"I sincerely abide by the decree of the law." Fang Jian bowed in obeisance, and then issued three golden edicts of judicial decrees. One was presented to the Five Imperial Emperors, the other was sent to Langhuan Pavilion for archiving. As for the last one.
"Where is Lord Yan of the Tenth Palace?" Fang Jian shouted.
The King of Hell of the Tenth Hall immediately walked out of the Immortal Class, held his hut in his arms and bowed before him, saying, "I'm here, the official."
Fang Jian sent the third golden edict of judgment to the King of Hell in the Ten Palaces, and said: "You hold this golden edict to welcome the Southern Ghost Emperor to be banished to reincarnation, to be reincarnated as human beings from generation to generation, and to cultivate the Tao and fruit again. There must be no mistakes."
When King Qin Guang heard this, he immediately stretched out his hands to catch the golden edict and said: "I will obey the decree of the God of Justice."
"Come here, remove the imperial robe and purple crown for the Southern Ghost Emperor, prepare the jade chariot, and send it to the reincarnation platform of the underworld." Fang Jian said again.
Immediately, six more Heavenly Generals from the Lingxiao Palace came forward, gently lifted up the Southern Ghost Emperor, and helped him take off the imperial robe and purple crown, leaving only a plain Taoist robe and a jade hairpin to tie his hair. .
After the Southern Ghost Emperor was removed from his imperial robe and purple crown, he was no longer the Southern Ghost Emperor, but the Sanxian "Du Ziren". He first came to Fang Jian and bowed his head without sadness or joy, without hatred or resentment, and then He also paid homage to the Great Emperor of the Five Emperors: "Du Ziren, the guilty minister, pays my respects to the Great Emperor of the Five Emperors."
Emperor Ziwei said: "Du Ziren, you should cultivate your piety again. If you can realize the Tao and Fruition again, you will still have your honorable position in the heaven."
When Du Ziren heard this, he immediately leaned down and said, "Du Ziren, the sinner, will obey the decree of Emperor Ziwei."
After saying that, Du Ziren stood up and left the Lingxiao Palace surrounded by the Lord of the Tenth Palace and the six heavenly generals. His back looked a little weathered and lonely.
Fang Jian watched Du Ziren's back completely disappear into the Lingxiao Palace. He turned around and glanced around, and found that all the gods began to subconsciously avoid his gaze, not wanting to look at him.
Fang Jian knew in his heart that from this moment on, he was afraid that he would be isolated by the gods in heaven.
"My minister Fang Jian, in accordance with the decree of the Five Emperors, has finished handling the case of the Ghost King of Partridge Mountain and the case of the Southern Ghost Emperor. I would like to return my orders to the Emperor of the Five Emperors." Fang Jian bowed and bowed.
The Great Emperor Ziwei nodded and said: "Fang Jian, as the God of Justice, you have great authority. I hope that you will also enforce the law in the future, strictly abide by the laws of heaven, and not use your power for personal gain. I will live up to the high expectations of the Great God."
When Fang Jian heard this, he immediately bowed and said, "I would like to follow the instructions of Emperor Ziwei."
Emperor Ziwei nodded, and then said: "Let's go back to the Immortal Banchen column."
"Yes." Fang Jian bowed, then turned and flew back to his immortal class.
The few True Lords beside him all seemed very indifferent and seemed to be distant from him.
Fang Jian stood in his position in the immortal class and felt only a sense of loneliness and coldness. He was alone and alone, nothing more than that.
Emperor Ziwei looked at the immortals and asked, "Do the immortals have any memorials?"
Upon hearing this, all the gods and immortals immediately worshiped in unison: "Return to the great Emperor Ziwei, Wuyou."
The Great Emperor Ziwei nodded, and then said to the Great Emperor Qinghua of the East: "The case of the Ghost King of Partridge Mountain and the Ghost Emperor of the South will be announced to the four divine palaces inside and outside the heaven, as a warning to the gods."
Emperor Qinghua of Dongji immediately bowed and accepted the order and said: "I will obey the law."
Finally, Emperor Ziwei said to Taibai Jinxing: "Retreat from the court."
Taibai Jinxing immediately waved his fly whisk, stepped forward and announced loudly: "Retreat from the court, please all the immortals and gods to exit the Lingxiao Palace in order."
After hearing the words, all the gods and immortals immediately walked out of the immortal class, came to the center of the hall, saluted the Five Emperors in unison, and then exited the Lingxiao Palace in order.
After exiting the Lingxiao Palace, the immortal officials from the Heavenly Court left in pairs or in groups of three or five, talking to each other. Only Fang Jian stood in front of the temple, and a blank area was formed around him, as if he was with so many immortals around him. Officially isolated.
As for the Taoist gods, they don't give priority to emotions and deliberately isolate Fang Jian, but they don't want to cause trouble now. If they approach Fang Jian at this time, it is easy to be misunderstood and attract hatred, so they avoid Fang Jian. One thing is one thing.
Fang Jian looked at the scene where he was isolated and at his colleagues who had become strangers. Although his face was expressionless, his mood was a little heavy.
But only a moment later, Fang Jian put away all the distracting thoughts in his heart, walked down the jade steps, and returned directly to Haotian Palace.
After returning to Haotian Palace, Fang Jian first called the heavenly soldiers and asked them to bring Feng Dingnan and Yun Dingtian to Haotian Palace.
Then he left the Haotian Palace and went to the Immortal Killing Platform.
On the Immortal Killing Platform, Taoist Dao Yi and the Ghost King of Partridge Mountain, as well as more than 6,000 ghost generals, Yin soldiers, and ghost soldiers were all restrained in place. The thunder soldiers and thunder generals of the Lei Department formed a circle around the Immortal Killing Platform, and the Northern Emperor Thunder Chief Xiang Huo Yi was standing on the Immortal Killing Platform waiting.
There are also the four great judges of the underworld standing under the Immortal Killing Platform. Fang Jian ordered them to come to watch the execution. The other five guardian gods of Luo Feng's six-day palace are also here. They are here to deliver the letter. Also Taoist.
When he saw Fang Jian arriving, the gods immediately came forward to greet him respectfully: "Welcome to the Lord Hongqing."
Huo Yi already knew the news that the Southern Ghost Emperor was punished by Fang Jian and demoted to the mortal world, but he was only a second-grade immortal official. Even the other five guardian gods in Luo Feng's six days were only first-grade immortal officials. Isolating Fang Jian was a super-grade official. Regarding the Immortal Officials, they are not qualified yet, and some of them only fear and respect them.
Fang Jian looked at Huo Yi's respectful look. Although he was helpless, he couldn't say anything. He just asked, "Have everyone been arrested?"
Huo Yi immediately said: "We have captured them all. All the ghost generals, shady soldiers, and ghost agents related to this case have not been missed. Please check it with the Lord Hongqing." After saying that, Huo Yi handed over the book in his hand. Got Fang Jian.
Fang Jian took the book and checked it carefully, nodded, and then took Huo Yi to the Immortal Killing Platform. When the ghost generals, dark soldiers, and ghost messengers saw Fang Jian coming, they all confessed and begged for mercy. Even the Ghost King of Part Mountain cried bitterly. Begging for mercy from Fang Jian with tears in his eyes.
But Fang Jian did not waver at all. He turned to Huo Yi and said, "Execution."
Huo Yigong accepted the order, and then immediately ordered the execution. The master was sentenced to fractal punishment. The process was very long, and the screams lasted for a whole stick of incense. Finally, the soul was escorted to the underworld and thrown into the animal realm for ten reincarnations.
The ghost king of Parthen Mountain was punished with the punishment of annihilation by thunder and fire. The thunder and fire burned his body for a stick of incense. The ghost king of Partridge Mountain also screamed for a stick of incense. Finally, his soul was destroyed by the thunder from the sky, and both his body and shape were destroyed. Never be reborn.
Finally, there were the more than 6,000 ghost generals, yin soldiers, and ghost messengers. They were all punished by being destroyed by thunder and fire, and their souls were all sent to the eighteenth level of hell to suffer.
After the prison sentence was completed, Fang Jian left with the respect of everyone and returned to Haotian Palace again.
After returning to Haotian Hall, Feng Dingnan and Yun Dingtian immediately stood up from their seats and bowed to Fang Jian.
"You two fellow Taoists don't need to be polite." Fang Jian helped the two of them up, and then said, "You two fellow Taoists already know, right?"
Feng Dingnan nodded with respect and said: "The heavenly soldiers have already told us, the Southern Ghost Emperor. Alas, True Lord Hongqing, only with you as the God of Justice can all sentient beings in the three realms have justice."
Fang Jian waved his hand and said, "You two fellow Taoists, there is no need to say this. All the gods in heaven can enforce the law impartially, and not all gods are bad."
"Yes, yes." Feng Dingnan and Yun Dingtian nodded repeatedly.
Fang Jian looked at the two of them and said, "Fellow Taoists, you'd better stay here in Haotian Hall for a few days, and I will arrange the rest of your affairs."
After hearing this, the two men immediately bowed and said, "Thank you very much, Lord Hongqing."
Fang Jian helped the two men up again, and then ordered the heavenly soldiers to send them back to the previous side hall.
Just when Fang Jian had settled down the Feng Dingnan brothers, a heavenly soldier from outside came in and reported: "Qi Zhenjun Hongqing, there is Fairy Chang'e from Guanghan Palace outside the hall asking for an audience."
Fairy Chang'e, this is a position, not a person.
When Fang Jian heard the report, he immediately said: "Please come in."
"Yes." The Heavenly Soldiers chanted and accepted their orders.
Soon, a charming and beautiful Fairy Chang'e walked in with gentle steps, and then paid homage to Fang Jian: "Fairy Chang'e of the Little God Guanghan Palace, whose Taoist name is 'Qian'e', pays homage to the True Monarch Hongqing."
Fang Jian smiled and said, "I wonder what the purpose of Fairy Qian'e is for coming here."
Fairy Qian'e said: "The little god came here on the order of Lord Taiyin Star, and asked True Lord Hongqing to return the belongings of Lord Taiyin Star."
Fang Jian was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "Is it that jade pillow?"
"Yes." Fairy Qian'e nodded.
Fang Jian nodded and said, "Fairy, wait a moment."
Then Fang Jian raised his hand and made a move, and the jade pillow immediately flew out from the treasure hall at the rear and landed in Fang Jian's hands.
Then Fang Jian waved his hand and sent the jade pillow to Fairy Qian'e and said, "This is it. Fairy, please keep it."
Fairy Qian'e stretched out her hand to catch the jade pillow, then bowed and said: "I have disturbed Lord Hongqing, please leave."
Then Fairy Qian'e paid her respects to Fang Jian and left the Haotian Palace holding the jade pillow.
Fang Jian looked at Fairy Qian'e's back. A jade pillow was nothing in the eyes of Taiyin Xingjun, but doing so undoubtedly just showed an attitude, which was to draw a clear line between him and Fang Jian.
An emperor in heaven is not only a person with unparalleled merits, but also a person with high moral standards. Fang Jian relegated an emperor without any mercy today. It is no wonder that Lord Taiyin did this.
It was obvious that not only Taiyin Star Lord, but also most of the super-level immortal officials in Heaven were very dissatisfied with Fang Jian and even hated him.
In this situation, Fang Jian put his hands behind his back and his eyes gradually became firm.
"Enforcing the law of heaven, the law is merciless. Even if you are alone and the whole world is your enemy, why should you be afraid?"
