red dust robbery

Liu Chenxiang escorted Zhan Ji back to the Zhenjun Temple, but he had time to see Yang Jian's face.

He only heard the boss of Meishan tell him with a heavy heart, it is said that Wen Tianzun from Leibu played a book before the Jade Emperor, and his second master was hurriedly asked for questioning.

The young man was stunned for a while, looked at Zhan Ji, who was surrounded by a bunch of flowers, wondering if he could be his cousin, and stuck out his tongue secretly.

But right now in the Lingxiao Palace, the Jade Emperor glanced lazily at Yang Jian, then at Wen Zhong, and said softly, "Wen Zhong, I have a general understanding of what happened. Articles, the Judiciary God is in charge of the Articles, sending people to apprehend and dispose of them, this is the responsibility!"

"Your Majesty is holy!" Wen Zhong stood at His Highness, with awe-inspiring righteousness, "It is not inappropriate for the Judicial God to intervene in this case, but the identity of the suspect in this case is somewhat special. "

"Why, I'm just a mere mortal, can I still let Zhenjun Erlang do favoritism for him?" The Jade Emperor narrowed his eyes, the new Tiantiao was established, Yang Jian enforced the law vigorously, with a stern face, and everyone in the three realms was in awe. Hearing Zhong's words, it was He couldn't help but find it incredible.

"Your Majesty, do you remember that when Zhenjun Erlang Yingjie was reincarnated, he was the famous Nanxia Zhan Zhao in the lower world? After the Zhenjun returned to the throne, he left behind a son named Zhanji. People!" Wen Zhong cupped his hands and said, "The little god thinks that since the real king and this son have a bond of father and son for a lifetime, the real king should avoid suspicion in this case!"

The Jade Emperor and Queen Mother looked at each other with a bit of surprise.

Yang Jian, however, gave Wen Zhong a cold look, "Zhan Zhao is nothing more than the reincarnation of this Lord. Now that I have returned to my throne, the past has long been the past, so what is the relationship between Zhan Zhao's son and this Lord?" ?! Is Tianzun not trusting me, or is he deliberately finding fault?"

"Er...that's reasonable." The Jade Emperor came to his senses, but he was sober in a rare way.

Wen Zhong, however, was relentless: "That mortal has innate divine eyes, and has a magic weapon to protect the body, so that the sky thunder and the body are safe and sound. Could it be that these have nothing to do with the real king?"

"If you want to commit a crime, there is nothing wrong with it!" Yang Jian said in a cold voice, "Based on the logic of Tianzun, Zhan Ji's biological mother is none other than the reincarnation of His Royal Highness the Ninth Princess Chonghua. He is the grandson of His Majesty and Empress, do you want both Your Majesty and Empress to avoid suspicion?!"

"Ridiculous!" The Queen Mother couldn't help shouting: "How can a mere mortal be the grandson of this palace!"

Yang Jian raised his eyebrows: "Your Majesty calm down, the little god has no such intentions, it is really Wen Tianzun's nonsense..."

The queen mother's anger subsided slightly, her phoenix eyes flew sideways, and she glanced at Wen Zhong: "Wen Zhong, reincarnation is just a dream in the world of mortals, you don't have to take it too seriously. But—"

She changed the subject: "Yang Jian, what Wen Zhong said, that child has natural eyes like you, what's going on?"

However, the Queen Mother is so shrewd and doesn't let go of any clues. Yang Jian pondered for a while, and said: "The nine princesses were suffering in childbirth in the lower realm. Some of it carried over to the kid..."

When Ah Jiu was mentioned, the Queen Mother's expression softened, but her words did not relax: "So, this child is not completely unrelated to you?"

"The situation was urgent that day, so Yang Jian could only come up with this bad plan." Yang Jian said flatly, "If His Majesty and Your Majesty think that Yang Jian is acting for selfishness based on this alone, then Yang Jian has nothing to say."

At this time, all the immortals in the palace had already started to discuss.

The Jade Emperor glanced at the turbulent officials: "Okay, since that's the case, where is the mortal Zhan Ji now?"

"The God of Law Enforcement has been ordered to take him to the Temple of the True Monarch to await trial!"

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty." Wen Zhong said, "This mortal has disobeyed the laws of heaven and committed serious crimes. He should be dealt with by the court and rectify the laws of heaven!"

"Since Zhan Ji violated the laws of heaven, he should be punished according to the laws of heaven." Yang Jian said loudly, "What's more, this matter started from the flood in Dongting, and there was a reason for it. The little god believes that the reason should be found out, and then convicted!"

"If the judicial god said so, is there still room for change?"

"Wen Tianzun, don't ask indiscriminately, and rush to convict, is it conforming to the way of heaven?"

"It's a fact that I went to Tianlei privately, so what can I investigate?"

While they were arguing, they suddenly heard a whistling sound in midair, and a ray of spiritual light rushed straight from the lower realm, heading straight for Yaochi.

The Queen Mother was startled, and immediately stood up.

The immortal officials in the hall were also taken aback, not knowing which of the gods who had experienced calamities returned to their rightful positions.

Yang Jian probably thought of something, he was startled secretly, looked up and saw Bamei hurried into the palace, came to the Queen Mother, and whispered for a while.

The queen mother's expression changed drastically.

"Enough!" She snapped at the case sharply, "I'm just a mortal, so there's nothing to argue about, Yang Jian, this matter will be handled according to the rules, and we'll talk back after we're escorted back for trial!"

After finishing speaking, he turned around and flicked his sleeves, and hurried to Yaochi.

The Jade Emperor looked at Wen Zhong who was stunned for a moment: "Okay, Wen Zhong, let's do this, Sanchao!"

All the immortals saluted and sent them off, Yang Jian raised his head, glanced at the eighth younger sister, saw the latter gave him a comforting look, and then calmed down a little, and followed the immortals out of Lingxiao Hall.

"It's all right, why did you return to your seat early?"

The Queen Mother hurried all the way into the backyard of the Yaochi, but saw the golden lotus pond, blue waves rippling, lotus flowers in full bloom, a woman in white sitting cross-legged on the water lily, her eyes closed, there was aura moving around her body, her face was pale and dull .

"I'm afraid...it has something to do with that incident in the mortal world..." The eighth younger sister who stepped in later said hesitantly, "It was an hour earlier, and now Ah Jiu's spirit is unstable, and the empress Xuannv is helping her to stabilize her soul .”

The Queen Mother took a deep breath, glanced at the Nine Heavens Xuannv who was sitting opposite Ah Jiu, and was doing the exercises. She turned her mind, and probably made a guess, and secretly gritted her teeth: "This Wen Zhong..."

Looking at the lotus pond again, Xuannv's fortune has passed nine turns, the aura gradually merged with the woman's body, and the pale face began to slowly return to blood.

The Queen Mother watched, secretly relieved, and glanced at Bamei: "You keep watching."

Then he flicked his robe, turned around and left the back garden.

When they arrived at the front hall, they saw that the Jade Emperor had been waiting there for a while, and when he saw her coming, he raised his eyebrow lazily: "What's the matter?"

"Returned to the throne two hours earlier, and now Xuannv is fixing her soul." The Queen Mother sat down angrily, "This Wen Zhong...how dare to be rude to Jiu'er!"

"He's a bit old-fashioned." The Jade Emperor was noncommittal, "Anyway, if this matter is left to Yang Jian, he won't be able to intervene."

"Your Majesty!" The Queen Mother looked up at him, her phoenix eyes sparkling, "Actually, Your Majesty handed this matter over to Yang Jian, just to see how embarrassing he is?"

The Jade Emperor glanced at her, lowered his eyelids lazily, and did not speak.

Seeing him like this, the Queen Mother snorted: "Actually, it's not a big deal. It's understandable that His Majesty wants to see Yang Jian's jokes, but it must not affect the return of Jiu'er!"

"Yes yes yes!" Jade Emperor responded, "I have already said that this matter should be handled by the empress herself, and no one should interfere."

"Your Majesty?" The Queen Mother took a deep breath, and suddenly said seriously, "It's been more than 1000 years. Could it be that Your Majesty still can't let go of his knots?"

"My lady..."

"Jiu'er is His Majesty's flesh and blood after all. Even if she was born with evil spirits, after so many years of catastrophe, she has already been cleansed. She grew up without me, and her temperament will inevitably be paranoid. But if she...she treated you Why am I so unfamiliar? Back then, Qi'er and Ba'er committed serious crimes, and now you have forgiven them, why can't you treat Ah Jiu a little better now?"

The Jade Emperor was silent for a long time, and the Queen Mother waited for a long time without seeing him speak, and finally turned her face away and sighed softly.

At this time, in the lotus pond in the back garden, Xuannv was sitting upright, exhaling and adjusting her breath, and the woman in white on the opposite side had opened her eyes.

Bamei breathed a long sigh of relief, but saw a sharp look flashed in the woman's eyes, suddenly soared into the sky, turned into a long rainbow, and went straight out of Yaochi.

"Ajiu—"

Bamei chased a few steps away, and saw that Changhong was flying in the direction of Zhenjun Temple?

"Bring mortals to the fore!"

When Yang Jian returned to the Zhenjun Temple, his complexion was not very good. As soon as he gave an order, the Caotou God escorted Zhan Ji, who was tied up with five flowers, to the hall.

When Zhanji looked up, he saw the majestic and majestic hall, and there were two boxes of Meishan brothers standing in front of the hall. The man was standing in front of the hall. His face was like a crown jade, his eyes were like cold stars, and there was a golden seal of flowing clouds between his brows. The outline of his facial features was vaguely his own. The familiar appearance in memory, just pursed lips, no longer smiling like the spring breeze when we met when we were children, wearing a silver armor and black cloak, exuding a stern aura throughout, making people daunting.

This is, True Monarch Erlang?

"First..." He only uttered one word, and seeing the cold gaze of the saber cast from the opposite side, he took a deep breath, swallowed, and bowed his head respectfully.

Yang Jian looked at him and didn't speak for a while.

One day in the sky, one year in the world, as far as he is concerned, it has only been a short ten days since the last meeting, and the former general character child has grown into a handsome boy.

With clear eyes and a dignified appearance, even standing in front of him with scars all over his body and tattered clothes, he couldn't hide the air in his bones.

only……

He thought of the scene in his eyes when the jade pendant was broken, and sighed deeply.

With a flick of the robe, the Panlong black cloak drew a neat arc, strode up the steps, and sat down on the desk condescendingly.

"Zhan Ji, I'm asking you, you extradited Tian Lei privately in the lower realm, is there such a thing?"

His voice was so cold that Zhan Ji had no choice but to lower his head and say, "Zhan Ji doesn't know what a thunderbolt is. When he was fighting with the Nine-Headed Insect evildoer that day, he was no match for him. He was chasing him so hard that he threw his sword at the evildoer." , coincided with the thunder falling from the sky, followed the saber and landed on the nine-headed worm."

"Do you know that it is the thunder of the Dongting Dragon Lord's catastrophe, and all those who cultivate immortals will experience catastrophes. No matter whether they are struck by lightning, or killed and fought, people who have nothing to do with it will have to intervene, otherwise they will interfere with the operation of the heavens?"

"Zhan Ji didn't know, but the situation was critical at that time, the Dongting was flooded, and the people were in dire straits. If we can't stop that evildoer..."

"Nine-headed worms are raging in Dongting, and they have their own Dongting Dragon Palace to deal with it. No matter how bad it is, they should report to Jiutian Yingyuan Mansion, and the heavens will send troops to subdue the demons. You mere mortal, why do you want to intervene in this matter?"

"But the flood had already been flooding for more than a month at that time. If you just sit back and ignore it, it may be too late."

Zhan Ji couldn't help distinguishing, but Yang Jian raised his eyebrows: "You mean, the Four Seas Dragon Clan's handling is unfavorable, which delays the military situation?"

Zhan Ji was startled, he probably didn't expect him to make such an inference, thinking of the Dragon Lord and several Dragon Girls, he shook his head hastily: "No, I didn't mean that."

Yang Jian looked at him at a loss for fear of hurting others, but he didn't know what to think, paused, and said in a deep voice: "In that case, bring me, Xuan Dongting Dragon Lord, to question him, find out the cause and effect, and then deal with it .”

Then he motioned to Meishan's sixth son: "Put him in jail and try again later!"

The sixth son responded, and was about to step forward, but Zhan Ji raised his head: "The Dragon Lord has gone through calamities, and the Dragon Clan navy is fighting hard against the Nine-Headed Insect. There is no dereliction of duty. Please learn from me!"

"Ridiculous!" Yang Jian yelled abruptly, "Is it possible that I can't judge the case without your teaching? Hold it down!"

Unexpectedly, Zhan Ji took a deep breath, and said stubbornly: "The extradition of Tianlei is the fault of Zhan Ji alone. If there is a violation of the rules of heaven, I will never blame it. Please Zhenjun, don't implicate others!"

Yang Jian suddenly felt angry, and raised the case: "It's good that one person does things and one person is in charge! Boss, tell him, extradition of Tianlei is against the law of heaven, how about following the law?"

Boss Meishan looked at the young man's face that looked like the second master's, and sighed secretly: "Traveling through the sky thunder privately is against the law of heaven. According to the law, you will be punished by the sky thunder, and your body will be destroyed, and your soul will be demoted to Jiuyou. Forever shall not be reborn."

Every word and every word is cold to the bone.

Although Zhan Ji couldn't exactly comprehend the deep meaning, he also felt the cruel coldness behind the law.

Yang Jian looked at him coldly: "Did you hear that?"

Zhan Ji lowered his eyelids and didn't move.

Yang Jian took a deep breath: "Lao Liu, pull him out and punish the twenty army sticks for me, so as to show off his prestige!"

"Second master?" The Meishan brothers basically knew the young man's details, and they were at a loss for a while seeing their second master's anger.

While hesitating, he suddenly heard a commotion outside the door, Xiao Tiangou staggered in and ran in: "Master...Master, Princess Jiujiu...Jiujiu, she...she broke in!"

Before the words were finished, the door of the palace was kicked open, several grass-headed gods were stumbled in, and someone in white clothes rushed in like snow, carrying a chilling and murderous aura.

Long clothes with wide sleeves, blue hair flying, face like the moon, eyes like cold stars.

Could it be the nine princesses who have returned from calamities?

The Meishan brothers changed their expressions several times, and then looked at Yang Jian's face, but saw that the latter was also slightly startled, and he was in a daze for a long time before coughing lightly, signaling them to retreat together with Xiao Tiangou.

Zhan Ji stared blankly at Ah Jiu coming in front of him, seeing her face that looked as young as Ai, who had become nearly 20 years younger in an instant, he couldn't confirm it for a while, so he hesitated and said: "...Mother?"

"She's not your mother!" Yang Jian interrupted him coldly, "Ding Yuehua was captured to protect you from being taken away by the heavenly soldiers, Li Zhan Wenzhong exhausted his vitality, and died of exhaustion a long time ago, the one standing in front of you is from the heavenly court Nine princesses!"

Zhan Ji's face changed in shock, and he turned his head to look at Ah Jiu, as if he wanted to prove something.

Ah Jiu held his hand comfortingly, blocked him behind, and only looked at Yang Jian: "Why are you telling him these things?"

"Am I wrong?" Yang Jian walked down to the palace, "If this kid hadn't acted recklessly and made a big mistake, how could you have been hurt by Wen Zhong and returned to your throne early?"

As he spoke, he gave Zhan Ji a cold look: "Is this what you mean by saying that one person's mistakes will never be blamed, and the innocent will never be implicated?"

His eyes were piercing, piercing directly into Zhan Ji's eyes.

Ripples of pain appeared on the young face similar to him, he bit his lower lip tightly, and lowered his head.

"Yang Jian!" Ah Jiu couldn't bear it, "Enough."

But Yang Jian looked at her with a complicated expression: "You and I should know that reincarnation is just a dream in the world of mortals. Now that you have returned to your position and the relationship between mother and child is over, he has nothing to do with you."

"It doesn't matter?" Ah Jiu asked back, "Then why did you sneak down to see him after returning to the throne that day? Why did you teach him to control the sky eye?"

"You clearly know it's because..." Yang Jian paused in the middle of his sentence, with a hint of sadness on his face, "So, are you blaming me? If I had sealed his Heavenly Eye that day, there would have been no Today's disaster?"

The corner of Ah Jiu's mouth froze: "No, I didn't mean that."

She closed her eyes and slowed down her voice: "It's just that, as a mother, I can't just watch my child end in ashes. There are some things I have to do!"

After she finished speaking, she held Zhanji tightly, and immediately turned around: "Ji'er, let's go!"

"Stop!" Yang Jian's face changed, "What are you going to do?!"

Ah Jiu didn't say a word, just dragged Zhan Ji out, Yang Jian yelled: "Stop her!"

The Meishan brothers and Xiaotiangou rushed in with the Caotou God, and surrounded her mother and son in the center.

A gleam of coldness flashed across Ah Jiu's eyes, and a pair of scimitars appeared in his hands in an instant. The cold light was everywhere, and no one else could get close.

Yang Jian frowned fiercely, jumped up, and stopped in front of the hall, with a silver light flashing in his hand, it was a three-pointed double-edged knife.

"To openly rob a prisoner, the crime will be increased!" He said sharply, "Don't you know?"

"Of course I know, the law is merciless." Ah Jiu looked at him indifferently and said, "Xin Tiantiao is your life's work. There are some things that are inconvenient for you to do. I will do them well. I have to take this person away today. !"

"You—" Yang Jian was extremely angry, but Ah Jiu was already about to take Zhan Ji away from the door. He shook the three-pointed and two-edged sword to stop her, and the latter was not polite, raised his two swords and greeted her. up.

"The sky net is well-established, and it's not leaking!" Yang Jian shouted at her, "Even if you escape with him, where can you hide? Don't you want him to hide and hide from now on, so he can't be an upright person?"

"Don't worry, I'll take care of the aftermath!"

"you--"

There was a scuffle with two knives, the silver light was dazzling, Yang Jian's subordinates were sympathetic, but Ah Jiu pressed on every step of the way, Zhan Ji saw it in his eyes from a few steps away, and the anxiety in his eyes became more and more intense.

After looking for nothing, he saw it right, and flashed to Ah Jiu, holding her wrist holding the knife with his bare hands: "Mother—"

Everyone was startled, Yang Jian's three-pointed two-edged knife stopped in the air, but saw that the young man had already knelt down on one knee.

"Ji'er?"

Ah Jiu looked at him, unable to react for a moment.

"Mother." Zhan Ji looked up at her, "Stop it, I won't go with you."

"you……"

"Although the child does not understand the rules of heaven, he is also a person who enforces the law in the government of the world. There should be similarities between the rules of heaven and the laws of the world. The so-called legislation is public and law enforcement is like a mountain. Since the child violates the rules of heaven, he should be tried. The child is not filial. I have caused my mother to suffer in the mortal world, how can I let my mother commit the crime of robbery for me now, wouldn't the crime on the child be increased?" Zhan Ji said slowly, "Even if the child escapes with the mother Jie is also a sinner who does not know why, and should not be seen under the sun, it would be better to die innocently!"

"Ji'er..." Ah Jiu looked at him, but there was an unconcealable tenacity on her pale face, she moved her lips for a moment, but said nothing.

"Although he has committed the crime of heaven, he also has the merit of killing the nine-headed insect." Yang Jian saw that her expression softened, she put away her weapon, and walked forward slowly, "In the court, it is not that there is no room for mediation. , why are you so hasty?"

"It's easy for you to say?" Ah Jiu glanced at him, "Now that everyone in the court is staring at you, no matter what verdict you make, it will inevitably come true!"

"As long as the legal principles are based, why be afraid of what people say!" Yang Jian said loudly, his voice was not high, but there was an unquestionable aura. Ah Jiu looked at him for a long time, and his eyelashes moved slightly.

"Jiu'er, you should trust me." Yang Jian sighed and pressed her hand holding the knife.

Ah Jiu looked at him, and finally let go of the breath he had always held, and lowered his hands weakly.
