Chapter 221: Tianpeng Descends to Earth
"Where are Yang Jian and Nezha now?"
At this time the Jade Emperor asked.
Li Jing was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then his face became a little ugly.
"Huh?" The Jade Emperor looked at Li Jing with some displeasure.
Li Jing said quickly.
"Report to the Jade Emperor, the little god, the little god has not heard from them for a long time." Li Jing lowered his head after speaking.
His rebellious son Nezha has not given him any news since he left the heaven last time, and Erlang Shen is even less likely to miss him.
"Humph." Seeing Li Jing's appearance, the Jade Emperor's face darkened.
"Ahem... Jade Emperor." At this time, Taibai Jinxing, who was standing in front of the civil servants, stood up.
"speak."
"Reporting to the Jade Emperor, Erlang Shenjun Yu Nezha is currently hunting monsters in the lower world." Taibai Jinxing said.
"Monsters? What do they mean?" asked the Jade Emperor.
"As far as I know, they suspect that the deaths of the Sky Mending Stone and the Lingshan Happy Buddha may be related to the demon clan." Taibai Jinxing said quickly.
"Monster clan?" Everyone was stunned.
"The demon clan has long been out of control, Taibai, did they make a mistake?" the tall giant spirit god said with disdain.
"Fellow Taoist, what do you think?" Jade Emperor looked at Taiyi Tianzun and asked.
"The demon clan has only declined, but it does not mean that there are no strong ones. The ten demon gods in ancient times have not completely fallen. Some of them are hiding. The Jade Emperor should know this." Taiyi said.
"Well, because of the Nuwa Empress, some demon tribes were left with a glimmer of hope, and the demon tribe naturally has magic weapons that can deceive the secrets of heaven, which we can't deduce." The Jade Emperor nodded and said.
After the Jade Emperor finished speaking, he looked up at the crowd, and then at a glance he saw Marshal Tianpeng, who was hiding at the back among the generals and sleeping standing up.
"Canopy." Jade Emperor shouted.
Turns out the guy didn't respond.
"Tianpeng, you are so bold." Li Jing suddenly became angry and shouted loudly, his voice mixed with mana and he rushed towards Marshal Tianpeng.
"Uh..." Tianpeng was shocked by the sound and took half a step back.
Then he woke up and saw everyone looking at him with gloating eyes.
"Marshal, the Jade Emperor is calling you." Taibai Jinxing reminded him.
"Ah? Oh, the general is here." Marshal Tianpeng reacted and replied.
The Jade Emperor was so angry that his face turned green.
But with Taiyi Tianzun here at this time, he couldn't get angry in front of outsiders, so he could only suppress his anger.
"Tianpeng, I order you to go down to the realm, look for Erlang Shen and Nezha, and ask them to return to heaven immediately to report on their duties. As for the demon clan, you first investigate for them." The Jade Emperor said.
Although Tianpeng, who looked confused, didn't quite understand what the Jade Emperor meant, he still held his hands in an upright manner.
"I will obey my orders."
But at the moment when he lowered his head, he quietly glanced at Taibai Jinxing.
The latter nodded in understanding.
Next to Tianhe, Marshal Tianpeng anxiously pulled Taibai Jinxing to fly towards his Marshal's Mansion.
"Tianpeng, please slow down." Taibai Jinxing said helplessly.
"Haha, Taibai, I'm going to get a few bottles of good fairy brew in the near future. It's better to choose the right time. Let's have a few drinks today." Marshal Tianpeng said with a smile.
Taibaijinxing didn't know what Marshal Tianpeng meant, so he could only let him pull him.
Marshal Tianhe Mansion.
"Come on, this wine is extremely rare." Tianpeng poured wine for Taibai.
"Osmanthus brew? Marshal, this is only available from Taiyin Star Lord. How did you get it?" Taibai asked in surprise.
Taiyin Star Lord is one of the Jiuyao Star Lords. He is an ancient righteous god who lives in the Moon Palace. Even the Jade Emperor must show courtesy to him because his husband is the Sun Star Lord. Both of them are quasi-sages. They are in heaven. Belongs to high-end combat power.
Marshal Tianpeng heard this and smiled.
"I caught a glimpse of Chang'e in the Moon Palace. Hehe, I brought this back when I secretly went to the Moon Palace to see her last time."
"What?" Taibai Jinxing stood up in fright after hearing this, and then looked around cautiously.
"Oh, let me tell you, Tianpeng, why haven't you changed your temper? Aren't you afraid that something will really happen that day?" Taibai said angrily.
"What's going to happen? Just a few bottles of wine." Tianpeng said nonchalantly.
"Humph, the Jade Emperor has complained about you in front of me several times, but I blocked him every time. If you continue like this, I really can't protect you, brother." Taibai Jinxing said.
"Come on, at worst, you have to remove me as the marshal. Anyway, I'm just a bare general." Tianpeng said after a glass of wine.
"You..." Taibai Jinxing was stunned for a moment.
"well…"
"I know your difficulties, but there's nothing you can do about it," Taibai said.
It turns out that most of the generals and immortal soldiers of the Tianhe navy were those who intercepted the teachings in the past, while Tianpeng was alone and did not belong to any force. He was just lucky enough to become an immortal by eating an elixir. In this heaven with complex factions, , he is a nonpartisan person.
"Huh, you know, I'm used to being free and loose. If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have been greedy for the elixir given by the old man, and I would have been free in the mortal world." Tianpeng said angrily.
"What? Still holding grudge against that old man?" Taibai Jinxing said with a smile.
Taibai was the one who received Marshal Tianpeng at the Feixian Pond. He still remembers that when this guy ascended, he was still scolding him with words like "Old man, you lied to me." Now every time I think about it, I want to laugh.
"Don't let me find him, huh." Tianpeng said angrily.
"You are so good at taking advantage of me. In my opinion, maybe that great man has taken a fancy to you, but he doesn't want to reveal his identity. Look at you, you have the Nine-toothed Rake and the Heavenly Powers. These are things that others can't envy." Taibai Jinxing said.
"It's better to be free and easy in the mortal world than to be suffocated in the heaven." said.
"Shh..." Taibai Jinxing quickly covered his mouth.
"Don't talk nonsense."
"Okay, okay, I'm just talking, Taibai, I asked you to come here to ask you something."
"What does the Jade Emperor mean? Can I invite Yang Jian and Nezha? He actually sent me down." Tianpeng asked.
"You don't understand this. The Great Emperor of Dongji Qinghua is here today, so the Jade Emperor must express something. Sending you down is just a superficial attitude of the heaven." Taibai Jinxing said.
"I see." Tianpeng nodded.
"Hehe, then I'll just go down to the mortal world to play for a while, but I've made it clear that I'm not sure I can deal with Yang Jian and Nezha. If they don't obey my orders, I can't do anything. I'm not a match for these two people together." said.
"Do you think the Jade Emperor doesn't know? Just go, but I warn you, be careful of the people in the Buddhist sect, and the water in the lower world is very deep, so don't be careless." Taibai Jinxing warned.
South Heaven Gate.
Taibai Jinxing had just sent off Marshal Tianpeng, and watching the other party's figure leaving on the cloud, he couldn't help but shook his head and sighed.
"Alas, all living beings are chess pieces."
At this time, less than ten thousand miles away from Lingshan, Yang Jian and Nezha had just wiped out a group of evil monsters and were resting on the spot.
"Second brother, why are there so many demons here even though it's so close to Lingshan Mountain? Don't Buddhists know that mortals are persecuted by demons?" Nezha asked, looking at the ruins in front of him. This was originally a small city, but because of the demons, it has long been reduced to a dead city. The city is full of corpses of mortals and resentment.
"Haven't you noticed yet?" Yang Jian said with a stern face.
"What?" Nezha asked in confusion.
"We have killed so many demons along the way, but the more we go west, the more demons there are and the stronger they are." Yang Jian said.
"I finally understand why the emperor asked us to go all the way west." Yang Jian sighed.
"You mean Buddhism?" Nezha whispered.
"Huh, did you see it?" Yang Jian pointed to a place in the city and asked.
"That is a temple. Although it has not been built yet, it can still be seen that it is the largest and most luxurious building in the city. It is conceivable that people built it in despair. Unfortunately, it was destroyed by demons before it was built. What does this mean? It means that they prayed for the Buddha to appear until they died." Yang Jian pointed to a half-built temple and said.
"This is what they want. The power of people's prayers in despair is far greater than the power of ordinary believers. Buddhist monks need this kind of power to help them practice." Yang Jian continued.
Nezha was silent after hearing this. Originally, because of his two brothers, he had some good feelings towards Buddhism.
"Woof, master, someone is coming." At this time, a big black dog jumped over from a distance. It was Xiaotian Dog.
Yang Jian and Nezha looked over quickly. After seeing the person coming from the sky, they frowned.
"Hahaha, God, why did you run so far? It's easy for me to find you." Marshal Tianpeng fell from the sky with a smile.
"Tian Peng, what are you doing here?" Nezha said unhappily. This guy always treated him like a child, which was annoying.
Tian Peng dared to smile, and then pulled out a golden scroll from his sleeve.
"Yang Jian, Nezha, accept the order." said.
"..."
The two did not respond at all, and even the grass-headed gods around them looked at Tian Peng with a smirk.
Tian Peng was stunned and embarrassed.
"If you have to fart, just fart." Yang Jian said unhappily.
Tian Peng took the imperial edict back again.
"God, Nezha, the Jade Emperor asked you two to return to the Heavenly Court to report on your duties." said.
"No, I don't have time." Yang Jian said directly.
"Let's go." Yang Jian greeted everyone, without even looking at Tian Peng.
"Swish, swish, swish..." Everyone soared into the sky, and Nezha glared at Tian Peng and flew up with him.
However, after Yang Jian and Nezha flew for a while, they found that Marshal Tian Peng was still following them, so they stopped.
"What do you mean?" Yang Jian asked.
"Hey, God, that, the Jade Emperor asked me to investigate with you." Tianpeng said hurriedly.
"No need." Yang Jian said.
"Don't, God, I finally came down once, don't chase me away." Tianpeng said anxiously.
"Huh?" Yang Jian heard what Tianpeng meant and looked at him with amusement.
"Okay, you guy, you still have the nerve to say that to me before." Nezha said angrily.
"Brother Nezha, I envy you, I'm tired of staying in the heaven." Tianpeng said hurriedly.
At this time, a white light flew from not far away.
"Swish..."
The white light flew towards the few people, and Yang Jian quickly stretched out his hand to stop it.
"Sword?" It was a sword.
"Ximen..." Yang Jian came over and saw that the word Ximen was written on the sword.
"Second brother, is it?" Nezha was shocked.
"Something happened, go and take a look." Yang Jian nodded and said.
