The prison god Gao Yao could actually stay out of it and ignore everything that happened on the Execution Platform. The reason he showed up was just to help Sun Wukong.

A Daluo Jinxian who understands the law, is rational, emotional, and decisive in killing is completely worthy of his standing up.

It has nothing to do with the terrifying talent of the tenth level of Hua Kai when Cheng Long was promoted to Daluo.

Of course, the main reason was that he could not stand the practices of Buddhism. He secretly instigated the executioners, supervising officials, and jailers to break the law knowingly. In order to force the Monkey King to rebel against heaven, he wantonly killed innocent fairies.

Gao Yao, who has the cultivation level of a quasi-saint but has to hide his strength, and who stays in the Heavenly Prison as the chief manager, cares most about fairness and justice. He is extremely disgusted with the Buddhist practice of not caring about the lives of mortals and ordinary immortals.

In the eyes of the God of Hell, no matter if you are a god, a human, an immortal or a Buddha, as long as you have not broken the law or done evil, you should be qualified to live a quiet and stable life.

Wantonly playing with the lives of living beings is the behavior of demons.

However, considering that Buddhism has absorbed many demons who became Buddhas, and even more Bodhisattvas and Arhats, it is understandable that no one from top to bottom cares about fairness and justice.

Birds of a feather flock together!

"Ancient Buddha Randeng, Heaven is not a place where Buddhists can act recklessly. Don't overdo some things. Otherwise, if things get awkward, it will put you in a dilemma..."

Gao Yao put one hand behind his back, looked up at the ancient Buddha Ran Deng floating in the air, and said slowly: "Everything has a cause and an effect. Sun Wukong damaged the Linglong Pagoda because the person who borrowed your magic weapon took him in. Sun Wukong destroyed your pagoda just to escape."

"If you want to ask for compensation, you have to go to the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King. By the way, you have to act quickly. If you go too late, the Heavenly King Li might be killed."

"..."

Upon hearing this, the ancient Buddha Dipankara curled the corners of his mouth.

He had no way to deal with the God of Prison who liked to talk with rules and regulations. What the God of Prison said was absolutely right. The person who borrowed the magic weapon was Li Jing, and the person who trapped Cheng Long with the pagoda was also Li Jing.

Now that Linglong Pagoda is destroyed, according to normal thinking logic, he should indeed look for the person primarily responsible, rather than Cheng Long, the 'victim'.

"Amitabha, I just noticed that the Linglong Pagoda was destroyed, so I came to take a look out of curiosity. I have no intention of seeking compensation from anyone." Randang was speechless and could only pretend to be magnanimous to show the magnanimity of the Buddha in the past.

Of course, even if the God of Hell had not stepped forward, he would not dare to kill Sun Wukong. At most, he would take the opportunity to destroy Sun Wukong's foundation and curb his growth.

But there is a nosy prison god!

Gao Yao's actual cultivation level is only one level lower than that of the ancient Buddha Ran Deng. If Ran Deng wants to defeat him, there will definitely be a big fuss.

When Sun Wukong was promoted to Daluo, the Jade Emperor went to Lingshan specifically to ask Tathagata for Sun Wukong so that they could replace the person who was going to obtain the scriptures.

It can be seen that the Jade Emperor attaches great importance to Sun Wukong. If Randang wants to make a move in Heaven, he must be quick, accurate and ruthless.

Now that we have lost the initiative, we can only give up for now.

"Master Randang is worthy of being a Quanzhen Taoist. He has such a broad mind. I admire him!" Gao Yao's serious and respectful words did not convince the ancient Buddha Randang.

It's even infuriating.

Because before the ancient Buddha Dipankara, Guanyin, Manjusri, Samantabhadra, Julusun and others devoted themselves to Buddhism, they were all disciples of the Chan school, and Dipankara was even the deputy leader of the Chan school, with a status far higher than the current Three Buddhas.

The past Buddha Dipankara and the future Buddha Maitreya among the Three Buddhas of Buddhism are actually just illusions, serving as foils to the present Buddha.

The deputy leader of the Chan sect is the first leader of the Chan sect after Yuanshi Tianzun, but his sect is smaller in scale and is far less powerful than the Buddhist sect.

But the orthodox teaching has its own advantages, and that is freedom and ease.

The Six Imperial Lords of Heaven hold three of them. If Dipankara had not rebelled, he would have surely obtained the position of a great emperor. He would have gained merit even without doing anything. It would be much better than the Buddhas of the past who can never ascend to the throne now.

Just when Ran Deng was rebuked and didn't want to talk, Cheng Long, who was sitting cross-legged, suddenly opened his eyes, and two rays of light, as solid as lightning, shot out and hit a palace several miles away.
Boom boom...

The divine light crossed across the entire palace without restraint until it pierced through the entire palace and then dissipated.

"Congratulations Great Sage on your great progress!"

The Hell God smiled and offered his congratulations, then glanced at the Ancient Buddha of Burning Lamp and said, "But you may have to spend a long time in the Heavenly Prison."

"Do you need to be shackled?"

Cheng Long is also very tactful.

Rāhāng Dīng was very angry, and if he left heaven, it would be equivalent to giving the future Buddha an opportunity to take advantage of him.

He didn't want to see his hard-earned skills and strong body destroyed by a bald donkey.

"It depends on whether you cooperate or not."

Gao Yao raised the corner of his mouth slightly and put on a smile.

Talking to smart people is easy and they can understand everything at once.

"Let's go then!"

Cheng Long completely ignored the existence of the ancient Buddha of Burning Lamp, waved at the God of Hell, turned around and walked towards the direction of the Heavenly Prison.

"Senior Randeng, I'm leaving now."

Before leaving, Gao Yao did not forget to salute Randeng, which was considered as giving enough face to the other party.

……

the other side.

After some teasing, Li Jing, whose cultivation was only at the early stage of Taiyi Golden Immortal, was finally blocked by Nezha on the bank of the Milky Way.

The water of the Milky Way is so deep that not even a feather can float on it, and not even a bird can cross it.

Even Li Jing, who was fleeing for his life, did not dare to fly in rashly.

"Li Jing, your time of death has come!"

Nezha, riding on the wind-fire wheel, looked at his father with holes all over his body. There was no pity in his eyes, only hatred accumulated over thousands of years.

He was tired of the cat-and-mouse game.

It's time to send 'Father' on his way!

The immortals who came out from their palaces to watch the show saw Nezha raising his flaming spear and stabbing towards Li Jing again, but no one stepped forward to dissuade him. This shows how much Li Jing had lost the support of the people for what he had done in the past.

"Amitabha!"

Just as Nezha's Fire Spear was about to fall, the shadow of the ancient Buddha Dipankara suddenly appeared in front of Li Jing. At the same time, a golden hand emerged from the void and grasped the Fire Spear at a speed that seemed slow but was actually fast.

"Master, I am incompetent and have embarrassed you!"

Li Jing, whose body was covered with holes and blood, saw the ancient Buddha Dipankara sitting on the lotus platform, and his heart finally fell from his throat.

At this moment, he looked as miserable as a dog which had lost its home.

He hated Nezha and Sun Wukong very much.

I wish I could cut them into pieces and let them endure the pain of thousands of swords piercing their hearts day and night.

"Old bald donkey, it's you again!"

"Die!"

When Nezha was being deified, he was stopped by the ancient Buddha, Ran Deng, when he was chasing his father. Not only that, even his true spirit was stripped away by Ran Deng himself and sealed in the Linglong Pagoda.

It can be said that all the suffering he had endured in the past few years was caused by Ran Deng. When enemies meet, they are particularly jealous of each other.

At this time, he no longer cared about Randeng's identity and strength. He took out the Hun Tian Ling and smashed it towards the old bald donkey.

The seven-foot-long red silk seemed to have life. Under Nezha's control, it was like a sinister and vicious red snake. With a "whoosh", it wrapped around Randeng's golden palm.

The Hun Tian Ling is Nezha's protective magic weapon, a controlling magic weapon with the power to encompass everything and turn rivers and seas upside down, representing the chaos of the universe.

If the person who stopped him from killing his father was a Daluo Jinxian, he would not dare to allow the Hun Tian Ling to wrap around his arm. Unfortunately, Nezha attacked the ancient Buddha Dipankara, one of the representative figures of Buddhism.

A mere low-grade innate spiritual treasure really can't do anything to him.

“Nezha, patricide is the greatest evil in the world. I cannot help you insisting on your own way and making one mistake after another. I can only…” Just as the ancient Buddha Ran Deng was about to embezzle Nezha’s Hun Tian Ling and Huo Jian Spear, he instantly subdued this rebellious son. The Jade Emperor, Queen Mother, Taibai Jinxing, Jiu Tian Xuan Nu, Dou Mu Yuanjun and other bigwigs in the heaven no longer hid and showed up.

"Randeng, Nezha is a general of the heaven. You, an outsider, don't need to judge whether he is right or wrong."

The Jade Emperor, dressed in a dragon robe, stepped into the air and crossed a hundred feet in one step. In a flash, he arrived in front of the ancient Buddha Ran Deng. Seeing that the other party was holding onto Nezha's Hun Tian Ling and Huo Jian Qiang, a hint of disdain flashed in his eyes, and he said lightly: "Ran Deng, why are you holding onto Nezha's magic weapon? Could it be that a dignified Buddha wants to covet the spiritual treasure of a junior?"

The embarrassment on Ran Deng's face flashed away. After weighing the pros and cons, he quickly let go of Nezha's Hun Tian Ling and Huo Jian Jing, pretending to be calm and said: "Great Celestial Venerable, please don't slander me! This joke is not allowed. If it gets out, it will easily cause unnecessary misunderstandings."

"Whether it's a misunderstanding or not, I think you know better than anyone else."

The Jade Emperor looked at the ancient Buddha Dipankara with disdain. The Buddhist disciples were indeed all the same from top to bottom. During the period of the witches and demons, the two saints from the West who had not yet left the Xuanmen often came to the East to beg for money.

After founding Buddhism, he went even further. Not only did he extort money to collect spiritual roots and treasures, he even poached from the Chan and Jie sects, and abducted a large number of Xuanmen disciples.

If it weren't for the internal strife among the Three Pure Ones during the Conferred God Period, and the need to repay favors by inviting these two Huabei saints as helpers, the Buddhist sect would have been chopped off as soon as it extended its hand into the Heavenly Palace.

"Great Lord, my disciple is seriously injured, so I won't bother you any more."

Randeng felt very uncomfortable when being seen by the gods around him, so he waved his hand and picked up the seriously injured Li Jing, then disappeared from the sight of the gods.

The Jade Emperor and Queen Mother did not stop him. It was far more valuable for Li Jing to be taken away by Ran Deng than to stay and let Nezha kill his father.

What Ran Deng said was right. Patricide is the greatest evil in the world. It would have been fine if the killing failed, but if Li Jing was really killed by Nezha, then even if Nezha was a Daluo Jinxian, they would not be able to keep him in heaven as a god.

The Heavenly Palace is not a Buddhist sect. As long as it can grow stronger, anyone can be accepted...

"Nezha, now that you have broken free from your restraints, let all the past go with the wind!" The Queen Mother came to the depressed Nezha at some point and patted him on the shoulder gently.

"..."

Nezha neither nodded nor shook his head.

Apparently he is still struggling with whether or not to kill his father.

In fact, if he really wanted to kill his father, Li Jing would not be able to escape to Tianhe. It was because of a little hesitation in his heart that gave Randeng the opportunity to take advantage of him.

……

Heaven Prison.

The ninth floor.

In a prison cell brightly lit by candles.

Gao Yao, the god of hell, poured a glass of wine for Cheng Long and said with a smile, "Wukong, Randeng has already left. I will be drunk after drinking this glass of wine. It will be up to you whether you stay or leave."

"Senior, I've done it, you can do whatever you want."

Cheng Long picked up the wine glass and drank it all.

The God of Hell will get drunk after drinking this cup. In fact, he is cooperating in the acting. Sun Wukong is destined to rebel against heaven and become famous in the three realms by being captured again and again by the heavenly soldiers and generals.

But that was the plot of the original drama. The Monkey King in front of us didn't need to rebel against the heaven to become famous.

He had already become famous when he sat on the top of Fangcun Mountain in a high-profile manner and was promoted to Daluo in front of all the gods and Buddhas in the sky and his flower blossomed to the tenth level.

In the Three Realms, who doesn’t know the name of Sun Wukong?

The main purpose of Buddhism arranging Sun Wukong to rebel against heaven was actually to undermine the prestige of heaven.

The stone spirit, who made a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace and all the gods were helpless to deal with, was knocked down by Tathagata Buddha with one hand and pressed under the Five Finger Mountain for five hundred years. He then followed Tang Monk to obtain Buddhist scriptures and achieved enlightenment. Once this script is completed, it will not only show the world the power of Buddhism, but also demonstrate the Buddhist ideal of saving all people.

Five hundred years ago, the stone spirit that was unruly and caused havoc in the Heavenly Palace, after being taught by a senior Buddhist monk, finally climbed up the Lingshan Mountain step by step and became a Buddha.

Listen to this script, Buddhism is so majestic and so tear-jerking!

But Cheng Long will not let Buddhism get its wish.

Killing the executioner and the supervising officer was only to let the people in heaven understand that if they were to associate with Buddhism, they would be at risk of destruction.

That's it.

As for whether to rebel or not, it depends on what happens next.

If you really have to be sent to the beheading platform, you definitely can't just sit there and wait to die. If it's some other kind of punishment, it's completely acceptable.

It doesn't matter even if I stay in the Heavenly Prison for five hundred years.

As long as you are not trapped under the Five Finger Mountain, just follow the plot line.

After one cup.

The God of Hell pretended to be drunk and left the prison in a daze, leaving the guarding task to the ninth-level guards.

The number is nine digits, so there are only nine floors in the Heavenly Prison. The space on each floor is extremely huge, with tens of thousands of cells. The cells get bigger as you go down, and the seals and restrictions become stronger.

If you want to be imprisoned in the ninth floor, you must have the cultivation level of a Daluo Jinxian.

Taiyi Golden Immortal is only fit to be imprisoned in the eighth floor, Golden Immortal in the seventh floor, True Immortal in the sixth floor. Above that, it doesn't matter. Both Heavenly Immortals and Earthly Immortals can be imprisoned. It all depends on whether the prison is full.

Not long after Gao Yao, the god of prison, left, Cheng Long himself suddenly appeared in front of the cell where his clone, Sun Wukong, was.

Sun Wukong then took out the cuckoo bird that was fast asleep in his sleeve and entrusted it to him, "Master, I will leave Qingyi to you."

"Well, where's the little fox?"

"She doesn't need to..."

Sun Wukong shook his head.

He didn't believe that Guanyin would be so cruel as to ignore the safety of her disciples and use the method of framing Qingyi to force Huayue to death.

"Take care of yourself."

Cheng Long picked up the palm-sized cuckoo with his palm, and with a flash, he teleported back to the Queen Nuwa Palace.

Qingluan, the mount of Nuwa, saw the cuckoo in his hand and walked forward curiously, stretched out her hand to touch it, and then said happily: "This bird actually has the blood of my Phoenix clan in its body. Although it is very weak, I have to say that she is really lucky to have met me."

Qingluan was born in the Phoenix clan and was an elite of the Phoenix clan who participated in the war between the dragon, phoenix and unicorn clans. After the war between the three clans, he followed Nuwa to survive the two calamities of the Demon Witch and the Conferred God.

With such a long time, even a pig could cultivate into a Golden Immortal, not to mention that she is a divine bird herself.

Sister Qingluan, who seems gentle and amiable, has already become a powerful quasi-saint.

Helping a cuckoo with a trace of Phoenix blood to return to its ancestral home is naturally the easiest thing to do. (End of this chapter)
