"Is this old man Taishang Laojun? This is the first time I've seen him today. He's quite a sensible old man..."

Zhang Fan took another sip of tea.

Although he knew that the person who had just chatted with him was most likely a god sent from heaven, he never thought that it was actually Laozi.

But if you think about this old man, he must have a very high emotional intelligence and the trust of the Jade Emperor, which is why he was sent down.

"Hehe, I have seen this old man's true form before, but he definitely doesn't remember me. After all, it's been many, many years. I thought you, my lord, also knew Taishang Laojun..."

"Who cares who he is? Even if the Jade Emperor came, I would treat him the same way. I am just a mortal. Let him guess and see if he can guess who I am."

Zhang Fan laughed loudly. It seemed to be getting more and more interesting.

Is Sun Wukong looking for help everywhere?

In the Heavenly Palace, when Taishang Laojun returned, the Jade Emperor had already summoned Sun Wukong and Hades. If the grudge between the two was not resolved, they would come to the Heavenly Palace to complain every other day.

Those who quarrel have no peace.

"Old Jade Emperor, it is very clear. It was the Hades' people who attacked me in the lower world and prevented us from going to the East to preach. You see, I was injured, and three of our disciples were also captured by her people. The soul of my second junior brother is also in that soul-catching mirror..."

Sun Wukong still insists that it was Pluto's men who did it.

"Please make a fair judgment, Jade Emperor. This is none of my business. There is no soul of Zhu Bajie in my soul-calling mirror. If Sun Wukong continues to slander me, I will whip him severely. I don't care whether he lives or dies..."

Hades was also very dissatisfied at this time, as if Sun Wukong was haunting him.

It kept pestering her to release it again and again, it was simply stubborn and she didn't believe that the monkey was not afraid of being beaten to death.

When the two were arguing fiercely, there was suddenly news that Guanyin Bodhisattva had arrived, which stopped the quarrel immediately. Then Guanyin Bodhisattva was seen walking slowly towards them, and saluted like the Jade Emperor and nodded to the other gods in the Lingxiao Palace.

"What is the purpose of Guanyin Bodhisattva's visit this time?"

The Jade Emperor was very polite to Guanyin Bodhisattva. He put down the quarrel between Hades and Sun Wukong, turned around and asked the Bodhisattva in a low voice why she came.

"I have nothing to do, so I want to listen to this case and find out who injured Jin Chanzi and took away Zhu Bajie's soul."

The Bodhisattva smiled slightly. Although she didn't say anything, she showed Lingshan's attitude towards those who came to the Tang Dynasty to spread the scriptures. That is, if the Heavenly Court protected the King of Hell and suppressed Sun Wukong, hehe.

This matter will definitely not end like this.

Of course, Guanyin Bodhisattva looked like she was not interested in fighting with the world, and she did not speak in an aggressive manner. She looked calm and composed. Even if she did not say some words, as long as she stood there.

Everything is self-evident, and the Jade Emperor naturally understands it.

"Yes, yes, Jade Emperor, please check who injured Jin Chanzi. Didn't Taishang Laojun go down? He should know it very well..."

When Sun Wukong saw Guanyin Bodhisattva coming, he felt more confident and his voice became much louder. He wanted to see, if Hades really wanted to harm Zhu Bajie, would the Jade Emperor dare to protect Hades in front of Guanyin?

After being pushed out, Taishang Laojun first saluted the Jade Emperor, then saluted Guanyin Bodhisattva, and then slowly spoke of his own views.

"After I descended to the mortal world, I found the people who kidnapped the three princes. I discovered that it was because Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie killed the people's servant, the Yellow Lion Monster. The owner of the Yellow Lion Monster was a young man who looked like a mortal. It was said that his surname was Zhang. Sun Wukong, you were the ones who made the mistake first. They only asked you to return the Yellow Lion Monster's body and apologize to them. Then they would forgive you and let you go to the East to preach. It seems that this has nothing to do with Hades..."

Taishang Laojun is also a high-ranking and powerful person in the Heavenly Palace, and he never lies. When he said this, Guanyin Bodhisattva couldn't help but look at Sun Wukong. If this was true, then Sun Wukong and the others were really at fault.

When the King of Hell heard that it had nothing to do with him, he felt relieved and bowed to Laozi repeatedly.

"The Jade Emperor did a thorough investigation. Although the monkey offended the underworld a hundred years ago, things had changed and he didn't care about it or seek revenge. But Sun Wukong framed me. He deserved to be whipped by my whip. He can't blame others..."

Hades now completely shirked the responsibility of beating Sun Wukong with a whip, and even said that Sun Wukong brought it upon himself.

In the Lingxiao Palace, many gods felt that if Taishang Laojun's investigation was true, then Sun Wukong was really in the wrong in this matter.

You beat someone's slave to death, and now they want the slave's body. It's not excessive to detain you.

Who taught you to hurt others first?

"Laojun, don't talk nonsense. I just don't believe that if I return the body of the Yellow Lion Monster, those people will return the three princes and Bajie to me? Humph, the soul-collecting mirror is in the hands of Hades..."

"There are many magic weapons like the Soul-Catching Mirror. Why are you so stubborn and won't let me go?"

At this time, Hades was almost driven crazy by Sun Wukong's stubbornness and obsession. He wanted to whip him hard a few times. He had never seen such a stubborn person. He had told him so many times, but he just didn't believe it?

“Sun Wukong, you should first send over the body of the Yellow Lion Monster, and apologize immediately after beating its servant to death. I will be a witness. If the owner of the Yellow Lion Monster goes back on his word, it just so happens that Guanyin Bodhisattva, Hades, and the people from the Heavenly Palace are here, and they will help you teach the owner of the Yellow Lion Monster a lesson…”

Taishang Laojun did not know Zhang Fan's name and origin, but he knew that he was the master of the Yellow Lion Monster.

So now he is willing to be a peacemaker and let this matter go. Otherwise, this monkey and the Hades will continue to make trouble and there will be no peace in Heaven. Once the Jade Emperor gets angry, he will have to make this old bone run around again!

"Sun Wukong, Taishang Laojun's suggestion is not bad. You beat the servant to death and apologized. At least you can get your second junior brother back. If that person is making trouble out of nothing, then let Bodhisattva and Laojun go down with you to take a look. Wu Gang, you should also go down and take a look..."

The Jade Emperor called Wu Gang as well, and after looking around, Sun Wukong found that almost everyone wanted him to bow his head and apologize to the owner of the yellow lion monster?

And send the body back?

This made him very unhappy, but there was nothing he could do. No matter if it was the Heaven or the Bodhisattva, they all thought that the fault was theirs.

Who asked them to beat someone to death first?

However, when the yellow lion monster was killed, I had never heard of its owner?
