Journey to the West from Daqin

Moreover, he felt that he was wronged, and he was so wronged at this moment that he didn't dare to use all his strength to resist.

The six-toothed white elephant and the blue-haired lion felt that the golden-winged roc wanted to swallow it all by itself, and it was very hot and ruthless to do so.

"Well, you flat-haired bastard, thanks to the fact that we treat you like a real brother, you are the first to eat and drink, and even cut off the queen for you. In the end, you stole the flat peaches, but wanted to eat them all, and didn't give any of them to you." We brothers."

The Green Lion King roared angrily: "We have no way to turn back. Now we have no choice but to hold together to keep warm, but isn't it just for flat peaches that we are working so hard? What's the point of you eating them all? It's not good to share them with our brothers." ?”

The Six-toothed White Elephant also said: "That's right, even if you took the flat peach, we two brothers will cut it off for you, there is no credit but hard work, you can take the big one if you want, at least part of it must be shared with us, right?"

The golden-winged roc was extremely aggrieved, "Brothers, my younger brother was really deceived. What was taken away was not flat peaches at all, but a pile of stones."

"You and I have fallen for it. It must be the four-foot dwarf monkey king with the shaggy face and thunderous mouth, and the so-called heavenly king Li Jue who looks dignified. They are playing a game, and you and I are both pawns in the game."

He was about to cry, and said: "I brought you here, and I never took out the two cylinders of Yin and Yang. After I found out the weirdness inside, I took out all the bottles for you to check. If there are flat peaches, how dare you?" Hidden?"

"What's more, there are so many flat peaches. It's useless for me to eat them. It will be a waste. Why don't you take them out and share them with all the brothers?"

He was so wronged that he wanted to dig out his own heart and let the green lion and white elephant see clearly.

But the green lion and the white elephant are not willing to believe it so easily, they just think that the third younger brother who has just become sworn brother must be Jianbao who wants to take it all for himself.

Lingxiao Palace at this time.

Li Jue was still 'besieged' by many gods, but they still couldn't find a reason to prove that Li Jue had lied.

At last.

The Jade Emperor spoke.

"Li Jue, do you know that I have a magic weapon in my hand, which can detect yin and yang, and can judge loyalty and adultery. If you lie, it will definitely know."

Li Jue's heart moved, he was actually most worried about this matter.

Although I don't know what the magic weapon in the hands of the Jade Emperor is, but this kind of thing is just like a lie detector, it is difficult to be controlled by people.

The Jade Emperor stared into his eyes and said: "You have been arguing with the immortals for a long time, and nothing you say or do can escape the attention of this treasure, so I will give you one last chance to tell the truth, but I will punish you lightly and forgive you." Not dead."

All the immortals fell silent.

Li Jue stared at the Jade Emperor closely, his gaze gradually became flat, and his expression gradually became cold.

He pursed his lips and said, "If Your Majesty has treasures, you can take them out and claim your innocence."

The Jade Emperor said, "You really don't recognize it?"

Li Jue said: "If I don't do it, how can I admit it?"

The Jade Emperor said: "You are a talent. If you make a mistake, you may be provoked by that monkey. This is all done by him. You are only bewitched.

So as long as you admit it, I can make an exception, but I will remove your official position, so I won't care about it anymore. "

This is tantamount to telling Li Jue that as long as the matter is pushed to Monkey King, then this matter has nothing to do with him, at most it will be dismissed from office.

Li Jue said without hesitation: "Your Majesty, please take out the magic weapon and return my innocence!"

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

The Jade Emperor was silent.

He sat on the dragon chair and looked straight at Li Jue.

And Li Jue stood where he was, looking at the Jade Emperor, as if he was fearless.

Finally, the Jade Emperor said, "Okay, you can go back, if this matter has a final result, I will definitely tell you."

All the immortals looked at each other in blank dismay, extremely shocked.

Taibai Jinxing was also stunned, not understanding why the Jade Emperor didn't take out the magic weapon.

Zhang Lingguan was thoughtful.

Li Jue was also a little puzzled, but it would be best if the Jade Emperor let him go.

As long as he left the Lingxiao Palace today, even if he found out the so-called results in the future, he could deny it.

Li Jue was actually a little guilty, because it was indeed he who played the game with Monkey King, and the three old monsters from Shituoling entered the game, and he tricked them.

But only he and Sun Wukong knew about this matter, and no one else would know about it, unless it was a saint who surpassed Li Jue's cognition.

Maybe the saint has some means to know the plot of the two of them, but will the saint intervene in this kind of thing?

Li Jue felt that the possibility was unlikely.

If such a trivial matter also requires the saint to take action, then the saint will be very busy.

But Li Jue didn't know why the Jade Emperor didn't take out the magic weapon, unless the Jade Emperor didn't have the magic weapon at all or there was something unspeakable about it.

But since the Jade Emperor didn't take out the magic weapon, it would be best but at least he is innocent now.

After leaving Lingxiao Temple, even if the Jade Emperor took out the magic weapon, he would not be able to prove that he was lying.

Li Jue cupped his fists towards the Jade Emperor and the immortal family, and then said: "If you feel that I have made a mistake, you can dismiss me from office. Even if I don't want the title of Heavenly King, I will never admit to this crime." .”

All the immortals looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing what to do for a while.

The Jade Emperor said: "Li Tianwang, you go back to rest first, this matter has not yet been settled, if you are dismissed from office just because you doubt you, it will appear that I am too incompetent."

"However, because you have doubts, your performance in this matter is meritorious, but you cannot be rewarded."

Li Jue smiled. If this matter can be exposed, everyone is happy. He doesn't expect any reward at all.

Since the Jade Emperor said that he is still in a state of doubt and has no merits or faults, it would be best.

Li Jue cupped his hands again, then turned and left.

The inside of Lingxiao Palace exploded in an instant. Li Jue didn't use his divine sense to sweep over, but he had a good ear and could hear their discussions.

All the immortals persuaded the Jade Emperor one after another, and took out magic weapons to prove Li Jue's guilt.

However, some immortals believe that what Li Jue said and did in this trip is remarkable.

Although things are too coincidental, if he really tried his best to resist monsters.

However, after repeated defeats and repeated battles, he was not rewarded or encouraged. Instead, he doubted him, which is chilling.

Therefore, a small number of immortals begged for rewards for Li Jue, and some immortals stood in a neutral position and asked the Jade Emperor to continue to investigate the matter thoroughly.

The Jade Emperor nodded, and ordered to continue to investigate the matter thoroughly. At the same time, he sent someone to invite Monkey King, and they wanted to continue to interrogate him.

Tongming Hall.

The Jade Emperor specially summoned Taibai Jinxing and Zhang Lingguan. Seeing their puzzled expressions, his expression was very calm.

"Are you wondering why I didn't take out the magic weapon?"

Taibai Jinxing clasped his hands and said: "Your Majesty has an attitude in how he behaves and does things. Naturally, there are His Majesty's reasons. I dare not doubt it."

The Jade Emperor said: "You are all my confidantes, if you have doubts, just say it, don't be hypocritical with me."

Taibai Jinxing then said: "Your Majesty has the Qimen Eight Treasures Lingpan in his hand. If someone has evil intentions, words and deeds that are not in line with the way of heaven, a warning will be issued."

"If Li Jue's words and deeds are inconsistent, the Qimen Eight Treasures Lingpan will definitely warn you. Your Majesty only needs to take out the magic weapon to prove whether what Li Jue said is true."

Zhang Lingguan nodded and said, "Li Jue's words are impeccable. It's impossible to see whether he's lying or not, but he can't see the slightest sincerity either."

"That's why Chen and the others always thought that he was probably lying. It's scary for a mortal to be able to calculate things to such an extent."

The Jade Emperor said: "He is not a mortal now."

Then he took out a black tortoise shell spirit disk from his sleeve, which was the so-called Qimen Eight Treasure Spirit Disk, and each tortoise shell had a strange rune on it.

The Jade Emperor said: "This magic weapon is not always effective. I have always used it to measure whether Li Jue's words and deeds are consistent with the outside, but it has never responded."

Taibai Jinxing and Zhang Lingguan looked puzzled, but at the same time secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

The Jade Emperor said: "What's more, it is impossible for people to confess guilt with just a magic weapon. There must be conclusive evidence and witnesses, otherwise, trying to convict a heavenly king is tantamount to nonsense. .”

Taibai Jinxing said: "Your Majesty is wise, the old minister is going to collect evidence now, and the world will definitely be restored to peace and innocence."

Zhang Lingguan said: "The old minister also immediately sent people to look for the traces of the three old monsters in Shituoling, and they are also communicating with Buddhism. If there are any traces of them, they will be reported to His Majesty as soon as possible."

The Jade Emperor nodded, and then ordered the two to retreat.

When there was no one around, the Jade Emperor looked at the Qimen Eight Treasures Lingpan in front of him, his eyes flickering.

"Li Jue, you are really daring. You dared to set up such a huge situation. Not only did you deceive me, but you also dragged Buddhism into trouble."

It turned out that this Qimen Eight Treasures Lingpan could really detect whether Li Jue's words and deeds were consistent. At least according to the Jade Emperor's judgment, what Li Jue said was definitely not true.

The reason why the Jade Emperor didn't say that this magic weapon worked in front of the two old officials was because this magic weapon was too heaven-defying. If it proved that Li Jue's words and deeds were inconsistent, the officials would not dare to use it in the future. Talk no more.

Monarchs and ministers should keep a certain distance when getting along. The courtiers cannot completely guess the mind of the superior, and even if the superior can guess the mind of the courtier, they cannot let the courtier know.

It's just that although the Jade Emperor knew that Li Jue had tricked him, he didn't know how Li Jue did it, let alone how many flat peaches Li Jue and Monkey King ate, and how many the three monsters took away.

After all, it is difficult to conclude this matter, because it is too perfect and everything is too coincidental.

When the golden-winged roc appeared in the Pantao Garden, packed up the peaches with two cylinders of yin and yang, and fled the scene, the most frightening thing was that many heavenly soldiers and generals lost track of him.

Even if the golden-winged roc confronts Li Jue in Lingxiao Palace next time, it will not be able to prove its innocence.

So there is no proof of this matter. Even if the golden-winged roc and the green lion and white elephant were caught, it proved that Li Jue and Monkey King set up a trap to entrap them, and the fact that the golden-winged roc plundered the Peach Garden could not be washed away.

At most, Li Jue and Sun Wukong would be charged with leading wolves into the house.

And this matter can be big or small, because the golden-winged roc and the green lion and white elephant did indeed fight against the many heavenly soldiers and generals in the heavenly court and plunder the peach garden.

The Jade Emperor couldn't understand how Li Jue managed to set up such a perfect overall situation.

Because there are too many uncontrollable factors in this matter, if any accident occurs, the matter will be exposed.

First of all, if the golden-winged roc hadn't kept saying that the blue lion and white elephant stole the flat peaches, it wouldn't make people suspect the blue lion and white elephant.

Secondly, if the blue lion and white elephant hadn't caught up with the Heavenly Court and stopped many heavenly soldiers and generals, the golden-winged roc would have no chance to take away the flat peach.

There is also the golden-winged roc who fought against many heavenly soldiers and generals outside the Nantian Gate, but suddenly broke free from the siege, came from behind, entered the flat peach garden, and plundered the flat peaches.

If any step goes wrong, Li Jue's layout will lose everything.

That's why the Jade Emperor had a headache. He couldn't figure out how Li Jue arranged such a perfect overall situation. Even he couldn't do it.

I am afraid that only true saints can be counted as exhaustive.

Could it be said that Li Jue has reached the height of a saint?That is impossible!

The Jade Emperor has a headache here, how can he think of all that happened, from the time Li Jue and Monkey King stepped into Shituoling, the layout has been different from theirs.
