Chapter 141: Saving the Yang brothers and sisters, attending two apprenticeship ceremonies...
After attending the two apprenticeship ceremonies, Zhao Gongming lost twelve acquired spiritual treasures. Four were gifts from him, four were donated by Fu Li, and four were donated by Shen Gongbao.
Although Shen Gongbao had only been a member for a short time and had not been a human king like Fu Li, Zhao Gongming felt that since he had followed, as an elder, he could not just hold both hands with one wrist.
First, it's not pretty, and second, they really don't lack that kind of thing in Mount Emei.
There is no need for Jiang Ziya and Wukong, as they are of lower generation, so they can just follow them to recognize their fellow disciples and get free food and drinks.
After the matter at Jinting Mountain was settled, Fu Li was about to take Wukong and others back to Chentang Pass, but suddenly received a message from Yuanshi Tianzun.
She was surprised and curious.
It’s not like Yuanshi Tianzun had not looked for her before, but every time, he followed the formal procedures and asked his disciples to convey the decree and summon her to Kunlun Mountain.
This was the first time Fu Li had encountered someone sending a message privately.
After she finished reading it, she understood why it was kept private. This matter really couldn't be made public.
Yuanshi Tianzun told her that ten years ago, Yao Ji, the sister of the Emperor of Heaven, came down to earth to catch monsters. After being injured, she was rescued by Yang Jun Tianyou. The two fell in love with each other, got married, and had a son and a daughter.
Originally, one day in heaven was equal to one year on earth. Yao Ji had lived in seclusion in the mortal world for ten years, but only ten days had passed in heaven.
The position of deity in Heaven was vacant, and even fewer possessed powers as powerful as Yao Ji. Therefore, the heavy responsibility of descending to the mortal realm to capture demons and enhance the image of Heaven fell largely on Yao Ji.
Many demons are cunning, and even more have powerful backers. Bringing these rebellious demons to justice is a time-consuming and laborious endeavor for the weak Heavenly Court.
Therefore, it was normal for Yao Ji to be away from heaven for only ten days.
The reason Haotian discovered it so quickly was because Yaoji's two sons were born extraordinary: the boy possessed the clairvoyance, and the girl was attracted to the Precious Lotus Lantern. Their spiritual energy was so strong that Yaoji had already exerted all her might to seal it away for several years.
In today's Heaven, there are not many people whose cultivation can match Yao Ji's, but there are some.
Furthermore, Yao Ji’s injuries had not fully healed, and she had given birth to two children in succession, which had severely damaged her vitality. How could she be a match for the Heavenly Court?
The two children of the Yang family were able to escape because Xuandu’s disciple, who was serving as the naval marshal in the Heavenly Court, secretly let them off the hook.
But like Marshal Tianpeng and the Immortal of the South Pole, they are both expressions of sincerity from the three religions to Haotian, and letting them go is something they cannot do again.
The second son of the Yang family had a special fate, and Yuanshi Tianzun predicted it during this chaotic time of great tribulation, when the secrets of heaven were not yet clear. This clearly meant that Heaven was using the three religions to rescue him. Yuanshi Tianzun was helpless and calculated again and again before quietly giving the task to Fu Li.
Fu Li immediately understood what he meant: at least publicly, this matter couldn't be linked to the Three Religions. As for what was going on behind the scenes, Haotian would likely feign ignorance.
She called Jiang Ziya and Shen Gongbao over and said, "You two should go back to Chentangguan first and take care of Nezha. I have something urgent to take care of here, and I'll be there once I'm done."
Jiang Ziya understood as soon as he heard it. It must be an elder in the sect who gave the task. Fu Li couldn't refuse and had to do it personally.
Therefore, he nodded in agreement without hesitation, and looked at Wukong again: "What about Brother? Will he follow us to Chentang Pass, or will he follow the teacher?"
Fu Li said, "Teacher wants to keep Wukong in Emei for a few days. Then he can come with me to Chentang Pass."
Wukong stood beside Fuli, nodded in agreement, and asked Jiang Ziya to say hello to Nezha on his behalf: "When I go there again, I will bring him a gift."
"Don't worry, Senior Brother, I will definitely pass on this message." Jiang Ziya smiled at him with a particularly kind smile. In front of Wukong, he never called him "Little Senior Brother" so as not to upset the little boy who liked to act like an adult.
=====
After seeing Jiang Ziya and the other two off, Fu Li secretly contacted Tianpeng to inquire about the whereabouts of the Yang brothers and sisters.
Marshal Tianpeng had an old acquaintance with Yao Ji, and he felt quite sympathetic towards the plight of the Yang brothers and sisters. He was struggling between reason and morality.
After receiving the private message from Fu Li, he breathed a sigh of relief. Not only did he send her the location, he also secretly placed a locator on the girl and sent her the connection port.
After doing all this, he looked at the two children hiding in the mountain crevices with pity and prayed silently: Senior Sister Fuli, please come quickly, I'm afraid these two children can't hold on!
It turned out that even after sending out many heavenly soldiers and generals, they were unable to capture the two children. Haotian became furious and even wanted to send out ten golden crows to burn them to death.
The Ten Golden Crows were created by Haotian by collecting the remaining souls of the demon prince and fusing them with his own essence and blood. In name, they are his sons, but they are also his hidden trump card.
According to his original plan, he would wait until all the righteous gods in Heaven had returned to their positions and their strength had greatly increased before revealing the Ten Golden Crows. Firstly, this would allow the newly ascended gods to see that he didn't rely solely on them; secondly, by leveraging the power of the new gods, he would prevent the Tenth Prince and several demon saints in the underworld from saying anything.
The betrayal of his beloved sister and the incompetence of the heavenly soldiers and generals completely broke Haotian's defense.
He felt that the Three Realms and Six Paths were all laughing at him as the Emperor of Heaven, and he felt humiliated. Impulsively, he sent out the Ten Golden Crows in an attempt to save some face.
As Fu Li rushed over, she felt her body temperature rising. She looked up, but was blinded by a burst of golden light and subconsciously closed her eyes.
She quickly took off the ice crystal bracelet and covered her eyes with it. When she looked up again, she found that the golden light was getting brighter. The two spots of light just now turned into three, and then into four the next moment, then five, six, seven... until ten.
Fu Li was stunned for a moment, his face changed drastically, and he realized that each light spot represented a small sun.
Although the power of these small suns is not as great as that of the real Golden Crow, they are too numerous to be counted. The rivers on the ground are losing water at a speed visible to the naked eye, and are showing signs of drying up.
Fu Li took a deep breath and threw the ice crystal bracelet. The ten little suns became nine. A spot of light transformed into a three-legged golden crow and fell from the sky. Fu Li swung out the dragon-binding rope, firmly binding the golden house.
The ice crystal bracelet attacked again, and the second little sun fell down and was also caught by the dragon-binding rope in her hand.
Then the third, fourth, fifth, sixth...
Because the ten golden crows appeared at the same time, the heavenly soldiers and generals could not bear the temperature and hid in the high clouds, waiting to see the Yang brothers and sisters die of sunburn so that they could return to heaven to report.
By the time they realized that the temperature was dropping rapidly, Fu Li had already shot down eight Golden Crows in a row.
Marshal Tianpeng's eyes rolled and he shouted, "Oh no, something's happened to the ten princes!" He was holding the rake in a panic, seemingly rushing forward, but in fact he was blocking the route of his colleagues.
As another Golden Crow was knocked down, the Ice Crystal Bracelet emitted a burst of blue light, and the next moment it became dim as black iron, falling together with the ninth Golden Crow.
Fu Li flew over and grabbed the bracelet that had exhausted its spiritual energy. The ninth Golden Crow fell to the ground, creating a big hole.
She put the bracelet away expressionlessly, looked up at the last Golden Crow, and said coldly, "Will you come down on your own, or wait for me to knock you down?"
Perhaps she had taken catching nine Golden Crows too lightly, and although the remaining one was still in the form of the sun, it was obvious that it was trembling, causing the light emitted by the little sun to flicker.
Fu Li glanced at the heavenly soldiers and generals who were tripped by Marshal Tianpeng, and found that those heavenly soldiers seemed to be cooperating with Marshal Tianpeng. They were all in a panic, and it was either you tripped me or I tripped you.
It seems that they also don't care about Haotian releasing the Ten Golden Crows, but they cannot disobey the emperor's order.
Fu Li sneered and took out a gold brick, shaking it at the last Golden Crow: "You don't think that's the only magic weapon I have, do you?"
The tenth Golden Crow ran away.
As soon as he ran away, the heavenly soldiers and generals led by Marshal Tianpeng had to face Fu Li head-on.
Fu Li said, "I know you are all following orders, so I won't make things difficult for you. I will go with you to see the Emperor of Heaven."
Marshal Tianpeng agreed immediately. A group of heavenly soldiers surrounded Fu Li, who was holding a string of golden crows in her hand. They went to the heaven together. Both sides tacitly ignored the Yang brothers and sisters.
Not long after they left, a Qi-refining master in a gray Taoist robe passed by and "happened" to rescue the Yang brothers and sisters who were sunburned.
The Qi Refiner was Jade Ding Zhenren. When Fu Li decided to go to heaven, he used his mind to control the mirror and send a message.
As she expected, Jade Ding Zhenren had been paying attention to the movements of the Yang brothers and sisters. As soon as she sent the message, the other party received it immediately and took action at the fastest speed.
Facing the questioning of the Emperor of Heaven, Fu Li did not mention anything about the Yang brothers and sisters at all, and insisted that she saw ten suns in the sky and the rivers and seas on earth dried up, and she could not bear it so she took action.
"As for the Yang Miaojun and Yang Chan mentioned by the Great Celestial Venerable, I have never heard of them, much less seen them, so I don't know who they are."
Haotian was speechless.
In Haotian's opinion, Yao Ji's desire to become a mortal was already a hot topic, and of course he didn't believe that Fu Li had never heard of the Yang brothers and sisters.
But he considered this incident a disgrace, and Yang Miaojun and Yang Chan were even more evidence of his sister's betrayal. Fu Li insisted she knew nothing, so how could he have the nerve to say that it was the illegitimate child of his sister's secret marriage to a mortal?
Yuanshi Tianzun's decree was made in private. No matter what outsiders thought, the reason why Fu Li appeared there was because he saw the ten suns flying in the sky and rushed over to deal with the Golden Crow to prevent all living beings from suffering.
The most interesting thing is that she only captured Jinwu but did not kill him. Even if the Emperor of Heaven wanted to use the "pain of losing a son" to drive him crazy and deal with Fu Li, he would have no excuse.
Seeing that Haotian couldn't reveal the identities of the Yang siblings, Fu Li sneered inwardly and said earnestly, "I don't know how those two Yangs offended the Great Celestial Venerable to warrant such a fuss, but I still want to offer a word of advice: As the Supreme Being of the Three Realms, you should prioritize the lives of billions of people in the prehistoric world. How can you allow the Golden Crow to wreak chaos and devastate the human world? How will the immortals of the Three Realms view you?"
She knew that Haotian didn't care about the ordinary people in the mortal world, so she talked about the immortals in the three realms.
Haotian's face turned red and white, but he had to grit his teeth and endure her preaching.
Fu Li decided to quit while he was ahead and handed over the nine captured Golden Crows to Haotian for disposal, which was considered a step back.
However, Haotian did not dare to do anything to her because of the three Xuanmen religions behind her and had no definite evidence, so he had to hold his nose and let her go.
In order to avoid suspicion, Marshal Tianpeng did not send her off in person, but just quietly shook the mobile phone in his sleeve, indicating that he would contact her later.
Fu Li's face darkened as she left Heaven.
Originally, she set the throne of the Emperor of Heaven as her goal simply because it was the pinnacle of the divine way and she wanted to sit at the top of all gods.
But Haotian acted with such disregard for the lives of mortals that she suddenly felt how just her idea of becoming the Emperor of Heaven was.
The Three Realms do not need a Heavenly Emperor like Haotian.
