red dust robbery

The Great Prison of the Zhenjun Temple was built later, far away from the main house, dark and damp, and airtight.

Zhan Ji was placed in Prison No. [-]. Boss Mei Shan picked a relatively comfortable room for him. Ah Jiu accompanied him in, but didn't leave right away.

He had previously fought fiercely with the Nine-Headed Insect, and he was hit by thunder from the sky. He was already in chaos, his body was bruised, and his strength was weak. Ah Jiu sighed and stayed with him to heal his injuries.

The thick and powerful immortal power flowed through his whole body, and as the faint auspicious light passed away, Zhan Ji only felt that his inner breath had become solid and stable, and the dripping wounds on his body healed up in an instant, he couldn't believe it for a while.

"Okay." Ah Jiu stood up, "In this way, even if you are punished in court tomorrow, you can hold on for a while."

When she said this, she was quite helpless. Who knows if ordinary people can bear the punishment of those immortal families?

Zhan Ji just sat on the stone couch, looking at her silently, hesitant to speak.

Ah Jiu noticed his expression, sighed softly in her heart, and sat down again: "Ask whatever you want."

What happened during the day may not have as much impact on him as the flood, so he will inevitably be at a loss, right?

But Zhan Ji hesitated for a while before he tentatively said, "Mother... can I still call you mother?"

Ah Jiu was slightly taken aback, seeing his expression of pursed lips, slightly moved the corner of his lower lip, not knowing how to speak.

Zhan Ji saw that she was silent, and the confusion between his brows deepened: "That... that Zhenjun... has anything to do with me?"

Ah Jiu sighed.

"Back then, the souls of the two of us were severely injured, so we had to be reincarnated as Xiu Yuan. I was reborn in Ding's family in Mohua Village, and he was reborn in Zhan's family in Changzhou. This is your father Zhan Zhao." As expected, he showed a surprised expression, She curled the corners of her mouth as if to comfort her, "We were originally cousins, who knew that we were married for a lifetime in the mortal world by accident, and then Zhan Zhao died in the battle of Haoshuichuan. He left before me and came back God, I was already nine months pregnant at that time, and my fetus moved, and I gave birth to you prematurely."

Ah Jiu paused: "Actually, what he said is not wrong. Immortals have been reincarnated for many calamities. After returning to the throne, the past is just a passing cloud. Strictly speaking, you and us are not related by blood."

Zhan Ji raised his eyelids, and his eyelashes trembled slightly, but he saw her slowly say again: "It's just that I had a difficult childbirth at the border and was in a critical situation. Let you be born safely, and that trace of spirit will continue on your body, so you will have the same look as him. The so-called blood of father essence and mother, your body is flowing with his essence blood, so In this regard, if you want to call him father, it should be. But I..."

She paused for a moment, and curled the corners of her mouth in a self-deprecating manner, slightly sad: "After this catastrophe, it has nothing to do with you."

"No..." Hearing what she said, Zhanji suddenly felt his nose sore, and got up and knelt down, "No matter what, you will always be Ji'er's mother...unless...you don't recognize me anymore!"

While speaking, his voice choked up.

Ah Jiu looked at him silently. Since he grew up, she seldom saw him shed tears. No matter how badly she was hurt, she still gritted her teeth and endured it. Now, she is a bit like she was when she was a child. .

"You child..." She stretched out her hand and pulled him up, "I raised you for 18 years, and the pain of childbirth is still vivid in my mind, so there's no way you would deny it... It's just that immortals are different. Do not arbitrarily interfere with the fate of mortals..."

She hugged him into her arms like before: "Actually, you shouldn't have known these things. The only hope I have for you these years is not to be a hero and become famous, but I just hope that you can be free, safe and secure." It's a pity to spend this life in a hurry..."

The world is impermanent.

Zhan Ji snuggled into her arms, and was silent for a long time: "It's the child's fault, he did it without waiting for mother to come over, causing a catastrophe, and bringing mother down..."

"Stupid words..." Ah Jiu patted the back of his hand, "I'm a mother, how can I just sit idly by... Don't blame your father, even though he hasn't been by your side for 18 years, he still has a heart I love you, when you were just born, he secretly came down to see you, and he gave you this name..."

"It's just that he... shouldered too many responsibilities. When he was Zhan Zhao, he thought about the people of the Song Dynasty and Mr. Bao. When he was a fairy, he thought about all the people in the Three Realms. He couldn't help himself..."

Zhan Ji listened quietly, and he thought of the spring breeze-like smile of the man in white in the reed field that year.

"Mother..." he said abruptly, "Tell me... about him..."

Ah Jiu was taken aback for a moment, then smiled lightly: "Okay..."

When he came out of the dungeon, it was already dusk.

Yang Jian had already taken off his silver armor and court clothes, and was only wearing a crimson robe and Xuanpao, standing quietly in the backyard, the stars were lonely, and the clear light was everywhere, and his whole body was as deep as a pool of lake water.

He seemed to have waited for a long time, and when he saw her coming, he stepped forward, wanted to say something, but for a moment he didn't know how to speak.

On the contrary, Ah Jiu glanced at him, turned his eyes away, and said lightly: "I've already fallen asleep."

Yang Jian regained his composure, and nodded with a little peace of mind.

After thinking for a while, he said, "Are the injuries on your body okay?"

Ah Jiu turned back and glanced at him: "Now you know how distressed you are? Why did you go there just now? It's twenty military sticks that come up. It's a mortal body. If it doesn't die, it will be maimed."

Mentioning this matter, Yang Jian was a little embarrassed: "That's just... to scare him, so that this kid doesn't know the heights of heaven and earth..."

Ah Jiu didn't bother to pay attention to him: "Forget it, let's get down to business, what are you going to do with this case?"

"Tomorrow, I will send someone to Dongting to collect evidence first." Yang Jian said solemnly, "Also check the merits under Ji'er's name to see if there is room for change."

"A merit is a merit, and a demerit is a demerit." Ah Jiu was noncommittal, "The merits and demerits may not necessarily be offset. You are practicing the new law now, and you have offended many people. How many people are waiting to catch your braids? I am afraid that in the future... I am not acting impulsively today, if you are not fully sure, you might as well leave him to me and take him away..."

"Nine children..."

"Some things, it's more convenient for me to come forward."

"What do you want?" Yang Jian suddenly became alert, "Do you think that if something happens to you, I won't be in trouble?"

His voice was deliberately lowered, but there was a hint of irritation.

Ah Jiu was slightly taken aback, and when he came back to his senses, his hand was already grabbed by him, and he looked up at his face. After eighteen years in the mortal world, the old man's appearance was the same as before, but his eyes were more serious, as deep as the vast night sky, as if To be snatched into the depths.

Yang Jian looked at her and said nothing for a long time.

The time in the sky changes, but he hasn't arrived in a month, and she has already gone through a cycle of reincarnation.

The day before yesterday when he went down to Mount Hua, Liu Yanchang was already very old, his three younger sisters had turned all their black hair into silver temples, and their young moxa had turned into white hair and chicken skin, just to accompany him as he ages slowly.

And the woman in front of him, and he couldn't accompany her until her temples were gray, when they met again, she was as beautiful as ever, and her white clothes were the same as before.

What is skipped in front of my eyes is the vigorous past in the world of mortals. I want to ask whether she has suffered or been alone in the mortal world for 18 years, but she is sinking in her throat, unable to utter a sound.

After a long time, Ah Jiu just came back to his senses, and slowly broke away from his hand.

"Ah Jiu..."

There was a trace of panic in the woman's eyes, but her complexion softened a lot: "It's getting late, if you don't leave, Yaochi will be in chaos."

She reckoned that the time was delayed, and her mother must have lost her temper, and it was important to go back as soon as possible to appease her.

Yang Jian restrained his expression: "I'll take you there, in case the empress blames you, there is a way to deal with it."

Are you sure you didn't add fuel to the fire?

Ah Jiu glanced at him, and felt disgusted in her heart, but she didn't say it out, she just said: "No need, I can handle it myself."

Yang Jian had no choice but to nod, watching her walk out of the courtyard door, the white clothes disappeared at the end of the porch, and two or three shooting stars streaked across the sky.

When Ah Jiu returned to Yaochi, the Queen Mother had already made a fuss, Bamei stood at the bottom of the steps and secretly gave her a wink, and Nine Heavens Xuannv closed her eyes and stood at Her Majesty, her expression was peaceful.

"You still know how to come back!" Seeing her coming in, the Queen Mother stopped pacing and looked over with phoenix eyes, her slender eyebrows raised high, "Why didn't you bring her back?!"

Ah Jiu paused slightly, thinking that she hadn't seen her for a long time. Her mother's meanness was even worse than before. Before she could speak, the queen mother said coldly: "I don't know, that mortal boy would let you do this!" care?"

"No matter what, he and I are mother and son." Ah Jiu said slowly, "How can a mother stand by and watch her child suffer?"

"You..." The Queen Mother paused, "But now that you have returned to your throne, you have nothing to do with that child!"

"Having said that, I still remember the pain of the flesh and blood being stripped from my body during childbirth. I remember the 18 years of being dependent on each other. How can I not care?"

"Confused!" The Queen Mother stepped down quickly and approached her, "If every god who has gone through calamities is like you, wouldn't they be confused with ordinary people? In my opinion, you are not as clear-headed as Yang Jian!"

Hearing what she said, Ah Jiu twitched the corners of her mouth, but said nothing.

On the contrary, Bamei hurriedly approached to smooth things over for her: "Mother, Jiu'er's experience is different from others, she was reincarnated with memories... She has experienced many hardships and hardships, and she finally came back. Mother, please calm down. Don't get angry anymore..."

"Why don't you let Bengong not get angry?" The queen mother was even more angry, "Bengong has worked so hard to raise her body with rare and exotic plants, and I am afraid that if she is careless, all previous efforts will be wasted. Fortunately, she will not even say hello when she comes back." If you didn't fight, you rushed to the Zhenjun Temple!"

When she said this, her breath was short of breath, and it was obvious that she was really angry.

Ah Jiu looked at it, feeling a little hesitant in her heart.

She remembered that she was taken down by the heavenly soldiers when her actions were exposed that day. It is not an exaggeration to fear that her bones will be ashes because of the cruelty of the queen mother's actions, but in the end she was only punished at the foot of Kunlun Mountain. Return to your physical body and take care of it carefully.

If it wasn't for her queen mother's efforts to protect her, she might not be able to come back in full after this encounter.

For more than a thousand years, although the Jade Emperor has always been suspicious of his youngest daughter, although the Queen Mother treats her with the intention of making the best use of everything, it may not be without some sincerity.

As she thought about it, her expression moved slightly.

With a sigh, suddenly, she lifted the corner of her clothes and knelt down.

The Queen Mother was taken aback.

On weekdays, she was used to her plain and stubborn expression, and she couldn't react for a while: "What are you doing?"

"Ah-jiu has been through this calamity, fortunately she has the support of her mother, Ah-jiu..." Ah-jiu lowered her head and said slowly, "I should thank my mother..."

"You..." The Queen Mother was a little moved, but her thoughts changed, "For so many years... when did you ever give in to me in front of this palace? Tell me, was it because of that boy from the Zhan family?!"

Bamei sighed beside her, even at this time, her mother was still shrewd not to be fooled.

However, Ah Jiu took a deep breath and raised his head: "If the queen mother loves her daughter, she can understand Ah Jiu's state of mind at this time..."

"You—" the Queen Mother was at a loss for words for a moment.

She sent this youngest daughter to the lower realm back then, so now she has little kinship and a cold personality. Although it was forced by the situation and there is no reason to regret it, it is still a pain in her heart that cannot be mentioned, and she is always a little bit guilty meaning.

She slowed down and said: "So what, you have to know that immortals are different."

"Of course I know." Ah Jiu said, "So, just this time, after this catastrophe, I will send him back to the mortal world. From then on, I can't care much about life, old age, sickness and death."

When she said this, there was a slight sadness in her eyes.

However, the law of the Three Realms is so, even gods cannot resist.

The eighth younger sister's thoughts are vague, she thinks of the grassland heroes who rode horses and galloped hundreds of years ago, and the children entwined under their knees. Now dust returns to dust, and earth returns to earth. I don't know if their descendants are still galloping on the grassland?

The Queen Mother looked down at Ah Jiu, saw her indifferent and slightly pale expression, and let out a long sigh.

But he turned around and didn't look at her: "Okay, don't kneel down, anyway, it doesn't matter what I said about it."

Flicking the sleeves of the robe, he actually walked towards the apse.

"My queen, what do you mean by this?"

Bamei was a little dazed for a moment, but Jiutian Xuannv had already opened her eyes, came over and stretched out her hand to pull her disciple to get up.

"Nothing interesting, it's just..."

She paused and did not continue.

The night passed quickly, and in the early morning of the next day, someone beat the Wentian Drum.

Before Yang Jian could be promoted to the palace to handle the case, he hurried all the way to the Lingxiao Palace. All the immortals had already gathered and talked a lot, but it was the Dragon Lord of Dongting who brought the queen to the palace to plead guilty.

This Dongting dragon lord has only been in office for 20 years in the human world, but he has already cultivated into a five-clawed golden dragon. He is really a rare young talent among the dragons of the world, and the queen next to him is a bit intriguing.

It can be said that no one knows how vigorously and disastrously the marriage between the third princess of Xihai and Zhenjun Erlang was.

Afterwards, the three princesses were punished and imprisoned in the West Sea forever for his crime of going to heaven. It was not until the birth of Xin Tiantiao that they got the pardon and promised to marry the Dragon Lord of Dongting.

Now that I come to Lingxiao Palace again, and meet Li's couple, what will it be like?

It also coincided with the return of Princess Chonghua, the former Goddess of War in the heavens, wearing a silver armor with arrow sleeves, standing there with a spirit of terrific heroism, which made people daunting.

I heard that the real king and the nine princesses went through calamities in the lower realm, and they were married for a lifetime in the mortal world. Although the experience of the calamity is innumerable, but now this involvement... tsk tsk...

However, this kind of gossip cannot be put on the table. The Jade Emperor and Queen Mother entered the palace, and the Dragon Lord had already knelt down to express his feelings.

"A few days ago, Xiaolong was in seclusion during the catastrophe, and he didn't want to use the nine-headed worm to sneak into my Dongting to make trouble, so that Dongting was flooded and the people suffered. He took away the most treasured soul-gathering orb from my Dragon Palace, intending to save his dead wife, Wan Shenglong. For this reason, under the guise of our dragon clan, he recruited girls under the age of seven to train the body of the Wanshenglongnu. Fortunately, Zhan Ji, a mortal righteous man, made a timely move, but he failed. After that, our dragon clan sent troops to chase down the nine Tou Chong, who had a bad start, was shaken by him to Junshan, resulting in a flood in Dongting, and the Dragon Clan's water army was unable to fight. In the critical moment, fortunately, Zhan Yishi helped him and killed the Nine-Headed Insect. However, he fought against the Nine-Headed Insect At that time, it happened that Xiaolong was going through calamity, and in the fierce battle, he accidentally drew his sword and extradited Tianlei to Nine-Headed Insect, committing a felony." Having said this, Lord Long took a deep breath, and continued slowly: "Although the flood in Dongting was caused by the nine-headed worm, my Dongting Dragon Palace did not do enough to subdue the demons, causing the water and soil to collapse and the people to die. It is really impossible to escape the crime of dereliction of duty. I hereby apologize to the heavens. In addition, although the mortal Zhanji is against the way of heaven However, he doesn't know the key to it, and all he does is for the people of Dongting, his feelings are pitiful, please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

After Long Jun finished speaking, all the immortals discussed in private.

The Jade Emperor also seemed to be somewhat unexpected, turned his head to look at the Queen Mother, and said softly just now: "Okay, Dragon Lord, I understand what you said, where is Yang Jian?"

The silver-armored and black-cloaked judicial deity came out and stood still, but he heard the laziness from above the throne ask: "Yesterday, the case of mortal Zhanji crossing Tianlei privately, how did the trial go?"

"Return to Your Majesty, the little god has already asked that it was Zhanji who accidentally extradited Tianlei to that evildoer during the fierce battle with Nine-Headed Insect, and then got rid of that evildoer." Yang Jian said in a calm voice, "The specific situation, my little God is preparing to send someone to collect evidence from Lord Long for investigation."

The Queen Mother blinked: "Since that's the case, I'll save this trouble, and simply make two cases together, and clarify it in the palace, so that the immortals can be convinced. I don't know what Your Majesty means..."

The Jade Emperor looked at her in surprise, and waved his sleeves: "Alright, Yang Jian, bring the person here, and we will try the two cases together."

Zhan Ji was escorted to Lingxiao Hall soon, and there was another commotion in the immortal class.

This young man was tied up and brought up, and knelt in front of the Lingxiao Hall. Although he was in a dire situation, his expression was not embarrassed, his back was straight, his eyes were clear, neither humble nor overbearing, he truly deserved to be the one who dared to extradite Tianlei.

It's just that this appearance is so similar to Zhenjun Erlang, no wonder Wenzhong held on to that point the day before yesterday to be aggressive.

The Jade Emperor looked at him condescendingly for a while, and turned around and couldn't help but underestimate the Queen Mother in a low voice: "Your Majesty... Do you think this kid really has nothing to do with Yang Jian?"

The Queen Mother glanced sideways at the young man kneeling in front of the hall, her eyes paused, her expression a little complicated: "It is common for fathers and sons to look alike in appearance, not to mention, no matter how similar they are, they are just ordinary people."

The Jade Emperor took a deep breath before sitting up straight: "Judicial God, you can ask questions."

Yang Jian had a panoramic view of everyone's reactions, remained calm, heard the Jade Emperor speak, cleared his throat just now, turned around, but did not ask the case directly: "Mr. Long, I will ask you first, the nine-headed worm was killed After the destruction, how will the Dongting disaster be dealt with?"

"Xiaolong has cast spells to restore the geographical situation of the mountains and rivers, and now the lives of the people around Dongting have improved." Lord Long replied, "It was because of the delay in dealing with the aftermath that Xiaolong came to Lingxiao Temple today to plead guilty."

Yang Jian nodded: "Mr. Long, on the day when the incident happened, you retreated to pass the catastrophe, and after the Nine-Headed Insect invaded and took away the Soul Gathering Orb, since your Dongting Dragon Palace was unable to deal with it, why didn't you report the matter to the Jiutian Yingyuan Mansion and ask for help from the Heavenly Court?" ?”

"This……"

Lord Long groaned slightly, but the queen beside him was already the first to say: "This matter has nothing to do with Lord Long. On that day, Lord Long retreated, and all matters were advocated by Xiaolong. The incident happened suddenly, so he first asked for help from the East and West Seas. The worms are so powerful that they are invincible to the navies of the two seas, and everything is due to Xiaolong's mishandling."

After years of separation, the face of the dragon girl in Xihai in the past remained the same, but the vicissitudes of the millennium were added to her eyes. Yang Jian looked down at her, hiding a slightly complicated expression.

No matter what, he has been married to her for thousands of years, so he is familiar with her character. Hundreds of years ago, even after reconciliation, she was still willing to take the blame for him, so that she lost her title and banned Xihai forever. Now she is married to Dongting. It's not as bad as it was back then.

"Who is in command of the East and West Seas?"

Ao Cunxin hesitated slightly: "Ao Tingxin, the fourth princess of the East China Sea, and Mo Ang, the eldest prince of the West Sea."

"Dongting belongs to the West Sea, so it's not impossible to send troops from the East and West Seas." Yang Jian remained calm, "However, these two are battle-tested generals, why can't they judge the situation, so as to delay the military plan? Come, Xuan—— "

Before he finished speaking, Lord Long said anxiously: "Zhenjun, Princess Tingxin and Prince Moang were both seriously injured in this battle. At that time, the situation took a turn for the worse, and the navies of the two seas were fighting hard. It was really too late to go to Tianting. In addition , this battle is due to my negligence in Dongting Dragon Palace first, and my mismanagement later, Xiaolong, as the master of a river, should be punished!"

Seeing what he said, Yang Jian was silent for a moment, and stopped entanglement: "Okay, since the Dragon Lord said so, then I will sentence you according to the law. The Dongting case was caused by the nine-headed worm, and the Dongting Dragon Palace is guilty of two crimes." First, the Soul Gathering Orb was seized, and the Dragon Palace was guilty of dereliction of duty; second, in the battle against the Nine-Headed Insect, the Dragon Palace mismanaged, which delayed the military aircraft and caused a catastrophe in the world. Now, the two crimes are punished together, and the Dongting Dragon Lord is sentenced. Fifty rod duties, removal of the seven-beaded crown, three-year salary fine, the queen's title of wife, and three-year ban on the Dragon Palace. Dongting belongs to the West Sea, and the West Sea Dragon Palace failed to perform its duties. The main general, Mo Ang, was defeated in the battle, sentenced to twenty battles, and his five-bead crown was withdrawn."

His voice was loud, and finally he said slowly: "Mr. Long, do you have any objection to this verdict?"

In the Battle of Dongting, the Dragon Clan was guilty of dereliction of duty and defeat in the battle, and they were dealt with according to the law. Although it was a bit strict, it was impeccable.

Lord Long lowered his head slowly: "Xiaolong has no objection."

On the other hand, the Queen next to her heard that her father and brother were involved, so she raised her head and looked at Yang Jian anxiously in surprise, but finally lowered her eyes again powerlessly, and said no more.

"Okay." Yang Jian saw it, but just continued, "The Temple of the True Monarch then issued a decree and sent people to be imprisoned. As for the case of mortal Zhanji crossing Tianlei..."

He slowed down, and glanced at the young man kneeling on the ground: "Traveling through the heavenly thunder privately is against the way of heaven. According to the law, one should be subjected to ten thunderbolts, and the body will be destroyed, and the soul will be demoted to Jiuyou. Superborn—”

Before the words fell, there was a whisper in Lingxiao Hall, Ah Jiu stood among the fairies, his eyes fell on the thin back, and there was an undercurrent in his eyes.

"However——" Yang Jian changed the subject, "Zhan Ji had already suffered the punishment of the sky thunder that day, and this person crossed the sky thunder privately when he was being chased by the nine-headed insect. The nine-headed insect was killed, and the flood in Dongting subsided. It is also a meritorious service, the new Tiantiao 420 five detailed rules say that those who have made great contributions to the Three Realms can be dealt with leniently as appropriate."

The Jade Emperor raised his eyelids: "This...how can you be lenient?"

"Zhan Ji has already endured the punishment of thunder from the sky. Thinking of his meritorious service in eliminating demons, it was an unintentional mistake. He should first pardon his death crime and give him a lighter sentence."

"The little god has an objection!" Before the words finished, someone came out of the class and stood still, with a loud voice, it was Lei Bu Wenzhong, "A merit is a merit, a demerit is a demerit, how can merits and demerits be offset? Besides, it is against the way of heaven to extradite Tianlei." How can a serious crime be easily let go? Once this example is opened, if there is another offender in the future, how should he be convicted?"

Yang Jian's eyes turned: "That's according to Wen Tianzun's intention..."

"As the God of Judiciary said, according to the laws and regulations of heaven, those who have meritorious deeds can be lenient at their discretion, but felonies against the way of heaven have never been pardoned lightly. If you think of their meritorious deeds in eliminating demons, you can avoid the pain of soul flying away, and directly cut off your lifespan. Reincarnation!"

He has been fighting for many years, his voice is thick and loud, and the lingering sound is lingering. Ah Jiu's eyes darkened when he heard it, but he saw Yang Jian's eyes paused, and just about to speak, a doll like a powder ball ran out of the generals' queue: "No, no , What is the difference between you and killing him!"

"Nezha?"

Tianwang Totali immediately tensed up, but seeing that his son had already started to speak plausibly: "Wen Tianzun, the heavenly rule has been said, and those who have made great contributions to the Three Realms can be dealt with leniently as appropriate, but you still have to beat and kill as soon as you come up." , this mortal is not a fairy family, he was cut off and relegated to the mortal world, at least he is still alive, but once this mortal dies, even if the soul is still there, he will not be this person again! Besides, this mortal does not understand the rules of heaven The rules are also unintentional mistakes, why bother to kill them all!"

He paused, turned to the Jade Emperor and Queen Mother, and said, "Your Majesty, empress, in the final analysis, this mortal's mistake was also to kill the Nine-Headed Insect. He made such a contribution, so it's fine if he can't reward him. Death penalty, if this spread, wouldn't it chill the hearts of the Three Realms!"

Nezha, the great god of the Santanhaihui, has been in such a childish shape for thousands of years because he is the incarnation of a lotus flower. He speaks serious words in a childish voice, which makes people laugh.

There were whispers in the fairy class for a while, and some people echoed in twos and threes: "Your Majesty, the third prince is right..."

The Jade Emperor glanced at the immortals, noncommittal: "Okay, since there are laws and regulations to follow, we will judge according to the laws of heaven. Yang Jian, how do you say how to deal with it? How lenient is this leniency?"

Yang Jian glanced at Wen Zhong beside him, "Since Wen Tianzun has objections to my sentencing, why don't you ask Si Ming Xingjun to call up Zhan Ji's merit book and check whether this great achievement can be worth it."

The Jade Emperor seemed to be unexpected, and pondered for a while, but the Queen Mother had already said: "This is reasonable, where is the order?"

"The little god is here." Si Ming Xingjun came out of the shift and stood still, took out the book in his arms, and searched it for a while, "The mortals show up, the Dongting Lake kills the nine-headed worm, and saves hundreds of creatures around the Dongting from death. For a great merit."

Yang Jian took a deep breath: "It's a great achievement, so the death penalty should be forgiven, and the living crime..."

He slowed down his speech, as if he was thinking about something, but was interrupted by Wen Zhong: "Capital crimes can be avoided, but living crimes cannot be escaped. They should be sentenced to thirty rods, and after execution, they will be sent back to the world!"

"Wen Zhong!" Ah Jiu came out angrily, "Whether it is the judiciary god who decides the case, or you are the one who decides the case, the mortal body is already dead if you stick it for more than ten days. ?”

"The nine princesses are serious." Wen Zhongdao, "The little god is just following the laws and regulations of heaven. Even if he has meritorious deeds for disobeying the laws of heaven, he can't ignore them. If he doesn't impose light punishments, how can the new rules of heaven stand up?"

"you--"

Ah Jiu wanted to speak again, but the Queen Mother hurriedly smoothed things over: "Okay, Wen Zhong, as the head god of the Ministry of Thunder, don't interfere with the judgment of the judicial god. Yang Jian, tell me, how should the sentence be judged?"

Yang Jian raised his eyes and looked around, all the immortals in the world were looking at him, in full view, it seemed that a thousand weights were pressing on his shoulders.

He looked down at Zhan Ji, the messy hair on the young man's forehead covered the expression on his face, but he still kept his back straight, he sighed slightly, and there was a flash of bewildered expression on his face.

Then he raised his head, cleared his throat and said, "What Wen Tianzun said is reasonable, but the 30-day stick is too heavy for ordinary people, so reduce it to [-], execute it immediately, and send it back to the human world after the sentence."

His voice was low, but powerful, and hit people's hearts directly. Before he finished speaking, he saw Ah Jiu looking straight over there, with sharp eyes that pierced his eyes.

The Jade Emperor waved his hand as if it was an official business: "All the immortals, do you have any objections..."

Judiciary gods judged all of them, with justification and evidence, but if these twenty sticks go down, I don't know if this mortal can stand it?

But having said that, the day before yesterday Wen Zhong impeached a book before driving, if the judiciary gods lightly sentence the mortal boy, I am afraid it will inevitably be suspected of favoritism and fraud.

Therefore, all the immortals in the hall were in a commotion for a while, but no one said anything.

Nezha muttered behind him, "Second Brother...what's the difference between the twenty sticks and the thirty sticks..."

But the Jade Emperor seemed not to have heard: "In that case, take Zhan Ji out of the Nantian Gate and execute him immediately."

A yellow turban wrestler agreed, then dragged Zhan Ji up from the ground, and escorted him out of the hall.

Not long after, there was the faint sound of the court stick.

Yang Jian knew that the heavenly stick was no better than the mortal court stick, even ordinary gods would be punished, half of their lives would be lost if they were beaten hard, let alone this mortal body?

It's just that he knew better in his heart that if he didn't use the 20-day stick today, someone might take advantage of this matter in the future, and neither he nor Zhan Ji would have peace.

He heaved a long sigh, when Wenquxing was in the lower realm, he had to bear the pain to behead his nephew, but now he has to bear the 20-day stick.

Ah Jiu had already calmed down, she only looked at him for a while without saying a word, then she withdrew and walked out of Lingxiao Hall.

Walking to the entrance of the main hall, she suddenly heard someone calling her from behind: "Ah Jiu..."

"Eight sister?"

Turning around, I saw Eighth Sister rushing up, came to the front, and looked at her expression: "Don't blame your cousin, he is not easy to do when everyone is watching..."

"I know." Ah Jiu was calm beyond her expectations, "If Ji'er doesn't get twenty sticks, he will always be a sinner, so I don't blame him. It's just... since he doesn't know about some things, It’s easy to do, so I’m the only one to deal with the aftermath…”

"Ah Jiu..." Bamei looked at her eyebrows and eyes carefully. Although she looked cold and calm, she didn't have any violent anger. She felt at ease, and took out a brocade box from her sleeve and gave it to her.

"This is……"

"Ganoderma lucidum."

Seven-leaf Ganoderma lucidum is the most precious treasure in Yaochi, it can save life and death, flesh and bones, and it is the first-class healing product.

Unexpectedly, Ah Jiu opened his mouth, but in the end he just took it and said, "Thank you..."

Turn around and head towards Nantianmen.

Half of the twenty court sticks had been beaten, and Zhan Ji lay on the ground, dying.

If an ordinary mortal had died in Huangquan within ten sticks, he could have survived until now, probably because of those shallow cultivation bases and the little bit of blood and spiritual power of the gods in his blood.

Even so, gritting his teeth and enduring the pain, his thoughts still began to slacken.

I can no longer hear where the prison officer counted, my mind is spinning, the dark clouds cover the sun, and the pain that hit my whole body seems to have turned into numbness.

"Eighteen, nineteen, twenty, after punishment, send back to the world!"

The body was lifted up, and then the whole body sank, as if stepping on cotton, and fell straight into the clouds.

He couldn't open his eyes anymore, the howling wind passed by his ears, as if it was the call of death.

Suddenly, his body seemed to be supported by someone, in a very familiar embrace, filled with the breath of childhood, he managed to open his eyes, but couldn't hold them closed again, but the corners of his mouth curled slightly.

"mother……"

Darkness descended heavily.
