Chapter 183 Yin Shiniang's Visit
The white crane's wings fluttered lightly, crossing hundreds of millions of miles of sky, arriving at the Kunlun Mountains shrouded in clouds and mist, and headed straight for the Yuxu Palace. It drew an elegant arc in the sky and landed in front of the palace gate.
The palace door of Yuxu Palace is open. On the white jade stone steps, cranes are flying and Ganoderma lucidum is everywhere, creating an atmosphere of an immortal family.
The Antarctic Immortal jumped off the crane's back, his robes fluttering, and walked into the palace.
In the Yuxu Palace, incense burners curled up and fairy music lingered. Yuanshi Tianzun sat high on the cloud bed, his eyes like torches, observing all things in the three realms through the void.
The Antarctic Immortal came to the Heavenly Lord, bowed deeply, and saluted respectfully: "Disciple pays homage to the Master."
Yuanshi Tianzun opened his deep eyes, and his eyes seemed to be able to penetrate people's hearts. He nodded, his voice as calm as water: "Get up, how is the result of this trip?"
The Antarctic Immortal hesitated for a moment. He knew that Master had expectations in his heart, but he still told the truth: "Back to Master, Junior Brother Ziya is devoted to the Tao and does not want to go to Xiqi."
When Yuanshi Tianzun heard this, his brows furrowed slightly, and a trace of deep thought flashed in his eyes.
He pondered for a moment, and then whispered to the boy Baihe beside him: "Go and summon Shen Gongbao."
The boy Baihe took the order and left. After a while, a tall immortal with a majestic face walked into the hall.
Shen Gongbao, wearing a black Taoist robe and a jade pendant hanging from his waist, walked quickly to Yuanshi Tianzun and saluted respectfully: "Disciple pays homage to Master."
Yuanshi Tianzun nodded to signal him to get up, and then went straight to the topic: "Shen Gongbao, your senior brother Jiang Ziya is still obsessed with practicing Taoism and is unwilling to go down the mountain to assist Xiqi..."
Hearing this, Shen Gongbao was suddenly excited and volunteered: "Master, this disciple is willing to take on the role of god in place of my senior brother!"
Yuanshi Tianzun shook his head, "Jiang Ziya is the chosen one, and his destiny is closely related to this great cause of becoming a god. He is the only one who can do it.
This is God's will and cannot be replaced by you. "
Hearing this, Shen Gongbao's heart felt like he was hit by a heavy hammer. A trace of shock flashed across his eyes, and then he lowered his head with a complicated expression.
After a moment of silence, Shen Gongbao raised his head, his eyes regained the perseverance and determination of the past, and he respectfully asked Yuanshi Tianzun: "Master, since Senior Brother Ziya is the one destined by fate, naturally the disciples dare not fight anymore.
I don’t know what the master’s instructions are for calling the disciples here, but the disciples are willing to do their best. "
Yuanshi Tianzun looked at Shen Gongbao, a trace of relief flashed in his eyes, and he slowly said: "Shen Gongbao, I understand your intention. Now Jiang Ziya is still obsessed with practicing Taoism and is unwilling to go down the mountain, so you can go to Xiqi to help secretly.
When Jiang Ziya realizes his destiny, he will be guided on the road to becoming a god. "
Hearing this, Shen Gongbao felt even more bitter in his heart.
This is to ask him to go to Xiqi to pave the way for Jiang Ziya first, and then hand everything over to Jiang Ziya after the road is paved!
Just because of that destiny... All his efforts were to make Jiang Ziya's wedding dress!
Yuanshi Tianzun seemed to have understood his thoughts and asked calmly: "Are you unwilling?"
Shen Gongbao immediately knelt down and respectfully agreed: "Disciple, I will live up to my master's trust."
Yuanshi Tianzun nodded, signaled Shen Gongbao to get up, and then said slowly: "Go, remember, everything must be adaptable, and no forceful intervention is allowed."
Shen Gongbao accepted the order, turned around, and turned into a black stream of light and disappeared into the sky.
In Yuxu Palace, Yuanshi Tianzun closed his eyes again and continued to be immersed in the insight into all things in the three realms. In his heart, the blueprint for the great cause of becoming a god has become more and more clear.
…
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, little Yang Chan is one year older, already four years old.
Her eyes are like two clear springs, and her smile is like flowers blooming in spring, which makes people feel warm.
Today is her birthday. Yang Ling deliberately went home before the sun set and cooked her favorite braised pork ribs.
In the kitchen, Yang Ling put the pre-marinated ribs into the pot and fried them until both sides were golden brown, then added the prepared braised sauce and simmered over low heat.
Soon after, the rich aroma overflowed and spread throughout the backyard, causing little Yang Chan to run to the kitchen door from time to time and poke her head out curiously.
"Daddy, are the ribs ready?" Xiao Yang Chan pouted, looking longingly at the ribs in the pot.
"It's almost, it's almost, just wait patiently for a while." Yang Ling responded with a smile, but the movements in his hands did not stop.
Finally, a sumptuous dinner was placed on the dining table, and the aroma of braised pork ribs tantalized people. Little Yang Chan was sitting on a high dining chair, holding the spareribs in both hands, her mouth full of oil as she ate, and her happiness was palpable.
While the family was enjoying dinner happily, the housekeeper came over in a hurry and whispered to Yang Ling: "Sir, there is a woman outside asking to see her. She claims her surname is Yin and her husband's surname is Li."
When Yang Ling heard this, he paused slightly with the chopsticks in his hand. He immediately knew that the person coming was Li Jing's wife Yin Shiniang.
They haven't seen each other for several years, and they don't know why they came to visit today.
He pondered for a moment, and then said to the housekeeper: "Invite her in."
The housekeeper took the order and left, and after a while, Yin Shiniang was ushered in. She was wearing a plain dress, the heroic spirit on her face was much restrained, her eyebrows were a little haggard, and there was a hint of worry in her eyes.
"Brother Yang, sister-in-law...it's been a long time." Yin Shiniang saluted Yang Ling and Yunhua, with a hint of alienation in her voice.
Yang Ling stood up and returned the greeting, smiling and said, "Mrs. Yin probably hasn't eaten yet, so we'll sit down and have a meal together, right?"
Yin Shiniang shook her head, "Brother Yang, sister-in-law, I have something to ask for this time..."
There was a hint of urgency and urgency in her words. Yang Ling frowned slightly, knowing that the matter was not trivial.
He motioned Yin Shiniang to sit down and asked her not to worry and speak slowly.
As Yin Shiniang talked, Yang Ling and his wife also learned that she was here for their son Nezha.
She introduced that Nezha was the child she gave birth to after three years of pregnancy. He was the incarnation of a Hunyuan Pearl held in the palm of Yuanshi Tianzun, the saint of Chanjiao. He was accepted as a disciple by Jinxian Taiyi Zhenren of Chanjiao when he was just born. Born with good skills and a gift from Master Taiyi, he causes trouble all day long in Chentangguan...
Yang Ling was not surprised at all, and said with a smile: "Then you come to me, it must be Nezha who caused trouble, right?"
Yin Shiniang took a deep breath and said helplessly: "Brother Yang, sister-in-law, you guessed it right, I did come here for Nezha.
Since Nezha was accepted as a disciple by Master Taiyi, he has caused a lot of troubles by virtue of his extraordinary abilities. The couple of us have the intention to teach him to correct his mistakes, but he is still young and too impatient, so we really don’t know. How to discipline. "
Yin Shiniang sighed and continued, "He has been causing trouble all day long, which has made Li Jing and I worried. Unexpectedly, he has caused a huge disaster this time!"
Yang Ling nodded and said without surprise: "Just tell me, what did Nezha do that went too far this time?"
He paused for a moment, and a hint of joking flashed in his eyes, "Could it be that he went to the East China Sea to get his dragon's tendon?"
Yin Shiniang was stunned for a moment and said with a wry smile: "So Brother Yang, you already know... Yes, Nezha did twitch the dragon tendons of the third prince of the Dragon King of the East China Sea this time... Now the Dragon King of the East China Sea is furious and vows to seek justice. Now the shrimp soldiers and crab generals of the East China Sea Dragon Palace have surrounded Chentangguan..."
When Yunhua heard Yin Shiniang's words, she couldn't help but curiously asked: "Mrs. Yin, Nezha is the apprentice of Master Taiyi. Logically speaking, he has caused such a big trouble. Shouldn't Master Taiyi step in to discipline him?"
Yin Shiniang smiled bitterly and shook her head, with a hint of helplessness in her eyes: "Sister-in-law Yunhua, you are right, it stands to reason.
But Master Taiyi was too doting on Nezha. Instead of controlling him, he turned a blind eye to his misbehavior.
After Nezha returned this time, Master Taiyi not only did not blame him, but also instigated him to catch the old Dragon King of the East China Sea who had complained to heaven and beat him up again to vent his hatred. "
Yun Hua was dumbfounded and said in disbelief: "This...how can Master Taiyi teach his disciples like this? Isn't this inciting Nezha to do bad things?"
Yin Shiniang sighed, and the worry on her face became even more serious: "I think so too, but Master Taiyi is the Golden Immortal of the Chanjiao. His style of conduct has always been unfettered, and we, the couple, cannot interfere.
Now the Dragon King of the East China Sea is furious and vows to seek an explanation. I am worried that this matter will become more and more serious, and may even involve the safety of the people of Chentangguan. "
Yang Ling said in a deep voice: "Mrs. Yin, don't worry, since you came to me, I will not stand idly by. I will try to solve this matter."
When Yin Shiniang heard Yang Ling's words, her eyes finally showed a glimmer of gratitude: "Thank you, Brother Yang. I really don't know how to thank you."
Yunhua comforted her softly: "Mrs. Yin, it doesn't have to be like this. Nezha is still a child after all, and children will always make mistakes. As parents, we must guide them on the right path, and we cannot allow them to continue to go astray. ”
Yin Shiniang nodded, the worry in her eyes lessened slightly, but she still couldn't hide the anxiety in her heart.
After Yang Ling listened to Yin Shiniang's narration, without any hesitation, he immediately transformed into a clone and stayed at home with little Yang Chan to prevent her from feeling lonely.
As a result, Xiao Yang Chan also insisted on going with him. Upon seeing this, Yun Hua also expressed that he wanted to take his daughter with him.
Yang Ling thought for a while and felt that there should be no danger in this trip, so he nodded and agreed.
He sent his avatar to Jiang Ziya's mansion to confess, and then summoned the black dragon Ao Ming. The dragon's body was circling, surrounded by clouds and mist. A group of people rode on the back of the black dragon and rushed towards Chentangguan.
…
Over Chentangguan, dark clouds rolled in, lightning flashed and thunder roared. Countless shrimp soldiers, crab generals and dragon sons and grandsons showed their majestic figures in the dark clouds, arranging in formation, ready to attack at any time.
The Dragon King of the East China Sea was wearing battle armor with fluttering dragon beards. He stood in the clouds with his eyes wide open and looked at Chentangguan below and roared: "Li Jing, why don't you come out to see me soon! You have to pay your son's debt!"
In the Chentangguan General Military Mansion, Li Jing was pacing back and forth in the hall, looking worried and feeling extremely anxious in his heart.
He knew that the trouble Nezha had caused this time was not a trivial matter. If it was not handled properly, it might lead to a greater disaster, and the entire Chentangguan might be buried with this scoundrel!
Thinking of this, Li Jing couldn't help frowning and sighing continuously.
At the same time, Li Nezha looked indifferent, with his hands folded across his chest, a stubborn smile on his lips, and sneered: "Dad, the Dragon King of the East China Sea is not trustworthy and dares to send troops to besiege Chentangguan. I think He was tired of living.
Wait for the child to catch him, peel off his skin, cramp his tendons, and let him know the consequences of offending me! "
After hearing his son's words, Li Jing felt even more desperate. He knew that if Nezha went to trouble the Dragon King of the East China Sea again, it would probably cause a bigger disturbance.
Seeing that Nezha still looked frivolous, Li Jing felt anxious and shouted loudly: "Nezha, you can't do this! This matter is not a trivial matter. If you continue to be so reckless, I'm afraid you will harm us Chentangguan people!
Let’s wait for your master Taiyi Zhenren to arrive, and then we can discuss it in detail. ”
Hearing this, Nezha curled his lips in dissatisfaction and muttered: "Consider it in detail, discuss it in detail again..."
Li Jing was so angry at his son’s words that his face turned blue, but he could do nothing about it.
He knew that Nezha had a bad temper since he was a child, and was extremely stubborn. Once he made a decision, it would be difficult to change it.
Just as the father and son were deadlocked, suddenly the wind and clouds outside changed, and there seemed to be a strong breath approaching between heaven and earth.
The dark clouds above Chentang Pass were torn apart by an invisible force, revealing a piece of skylight.
Immediately afterwards, a thunderous roar resounded through the sky: "Where is Li Jing? "
Li Jing was startled when he heard the voice, and hurriedly took Nezha out of the general's mansion and looked up at the sky.
He saw a beautiful female Taoist in a black Taoist robe standing on the cloud, with a stern face and unquestionable majesty in her eyes.
Li Jing was startled when he saw this, and hurriedly saluted, with a cautious voice: "May I ask who you are..."
The female Taoist snorted coldly, her voice was like a bell: "I am the goddess Shiji of the White Bone Cave in Skull Mountain. Today I come to ask you, Li Jing, to clarify."
Li Jing's heart moved when he heard the words. He remembered that he had seen this goddess Shiji when he was studying Taoism in West Kunlun. At that time, she was discussing Taoism with her master, Master Du'e, and her demeanor was extraordinary.
He hurriedly saluted more respectfully and asked cautiously: "It turns out that it is the goddess Shiji who has come. Li Jing is honored. I wonder what advice the goddess has for you? "
A trace of anger flashed in the eyes of Niangniang Shiji, and she threw a bloody long arrow at Li Jing, who caught it in his hand.
The blood on the arrow had not yet dried, emitting a pungent smell, and the name of Li Jing of Chentangguan was engraved on the arrow shaft.
She asked angrily: "Li Jing, why did you shoot my boy?"
Li Jing was stunned for a moment, and was about to deny it, but then a figure flashed in his mind-Nezha.
He felt nervous, and quickly turned to look at his son, with a trace of questioning in his eyes, "Did you do it?"
Nezha shook his head, "It's true that I shot the arrow, but I didn't shoot any boy!"
"Asshole!"
Niangniang Shiji said angrily: "My boy died under this arrow, who else could it be if not you?"
Nezha stiffened his neck and glared at Shiji, "If you say it's not me, it's not me. I dare to do it, but don't think of wronging me! "
"You won't repent, right?" Niangniang Shiji sneered and raised her hand to teach Nezha a lesson.
At this moment, a gentle voice came from the clouds: "Fellow Daoist Shiji, please be patient, there may be some misunderstandings about this matter."
