Chapter 43043 The Whirlpool Comes Again
This development was truly unexpected—well, not so surprising when you think about it. From the moment I learned that Nezha dyed his Wind Hot Wheels to blind Li Jing and seize the tower, I should have anticipated the chaos that would follow.
But I didn’t expect that Little Lotus would join in and play so...enthusiastically.
Without the pagoda, Li Jing had lost his support, but he was still the Great Demon-Subduing Marshal, and his cultivation base was still there. Seeing Nezha seize the pagoda, he shouted, "Come, get the demon-binding rope!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Giant Spirit, the Fish Belly General, the Yaksha General and other gods rushed forward, took out the demon-binding ropes as thick as vines, and wanted to tie up Nezha.
Facing this overwhelming siege, Nezha's face showed no fear. Instead, he revealed an even more excited and unbridled smile. With a single leap, he instantly escaped the encirclement of the divine generals. Simultaneously, Little Lotus joined the fray. The two, being contemporaries from different worlds, possessed a deep sympathy. Now, facing Li Jing and the divine generals, their coordination was truly seamless.
However, this time Nezha clearly held back, only adding the small lotus flower. Even with this, the opponent was still unable to cope. Soon, the group of gods were defeated.
In the courtyard, Madam Yin stood on the porch, gazing anxiously at the tussling between her husband and two sons—she had evidently subconsciously lumped Little Lotus in with the "sons." Her fingers twisted tightly around her handkerchief, wanting to offer advice but unsure how to begin.
Little Li Zhenying, on the other hand, was completely oblivious to the long-simmering resentment between her father and brothers, or the tense atmosphere at the moment. She was simply struck by the dazzling brilliance of the multicolored glass. She jumped with excitement, her face flushed red as she clapped her hands and cheered loudly, "My brothers are so good! Father is so good too! Good fight! Faster! Brighter!"
I:……
I couldn't help but burst out laughing.
At this moment, a voice called "Taibai Jinxing has arrived", abruptly brought this one-sided fight to an end.
"Tsk, what a bummer." He muttered softly and casually threw the pagoda to the side - the pagoda drew a golden light and landed steadily on the stone table in the corridor next to it, making a light "dong" sound.
Nezha and Little Lotus felt refreshed, while Li Jing was in a state of extreme distress, panting rapidly, his face a mixture of anger, embarrassment, and a hint of relief, as if he had been pardoned. His gaze followed the pagoda intently until it landed safely, and only then did his tense shoulders relax slightly. Then he hurriedly said to Madam Yin, "Madam, quickly burn the incense!"
Madam Yin nodded and was about to burn incense when she saw Taibai Jinxing and Sun Wukong coming in. As soon as they came in, they were blinded by Nezha's wind-fire wheels and my tail.
Taibai Jinxing asked Nezha in surprise: "Third Prince, God of the Cloud and Water River, this Wind Fire Wheel..."
Nezha said, "It's just the rainbow fairy adding some color."
Taibai Jinxing nodded slightly. Seeing the mess on the ground in Yunlou Palace, he turned a blind eye and just raised his eyebrows slightly.
Sun Wukong glanced at Nezha, then at me, then at Little Lotus, and suddenly asked, "Little Lotus, why don't you dye your hair? Look how out of place you are!"
Little Lotus frowned slightly and said, "Sun Dasheng came here today, but your master was captured by a monster?"
Finally remembering the important matter, Sun Wukong held the tablet and incense burner and asked Li Jing for people.
Li Jing's expression changed as soon as he saw Sun Wukong, and when he saw him chatting with Xiao Lianhua, he looked even angrier.
Li Jing could no longer suppress his anger and asked in a cold voice, "Li Changgeng, what decree do you have in your hand? What is the purpose of this monkey? Who does he want from me?!"
Li Jing was made extremely embarrassed by Nezha and Little Lotus, and because of the grudge he had with the monkey five hundred years ago, he no longer cared about his face.
Taibai Jinxing calmly replied, "It's the document from Sun Wukong suing you. And asking for his master."
I:……
Does this plot always feel familiar to you?
However, the fact that Sun Wukong sued Li Tianwang and wrote a complaint still had a comedic effect.
Li Tianwang was already upset, and upon hearing the word "sue," he flew into a rage: "What right does he have to sue me? What is he suing me for?"
Taibai Jinxing said slowly, "I'm reporting to you that someone in your family has transformed into a demon, captivating mortals and causing the whereabouts of my Buddhist disciples to remain unknown. Burn incense, receive the decree, and read it yourself."
Sun Wukong stood aside with his hands on his hips.
At this time, Madam Yin had already set up the incense table. Li Tianwang angrily bowed to the sky to express his gratitude, and then unfolded the imperial edict to take a look. As a result, he was so angry that he slapped the incense table with his palm.
"This is absolute nonsense! This is too much! Is this monkey trying to make fun of me?!"
Taibai Jinxing glanced at him and said, "Don't worry. The evidence he brought clearly states that the monster is your biological daughter."
When he talked about his biological daughter, our eyes all turned to Lee Jung-young.
Ah... I finally remembered!
It turned out to be the story of Half-Bodied Guanyin!
Wait, this storyline went by too fast, didn't it? We were on White Tiger Ridge before, and now we're on the Golden-nosed White-haired Rat part?
Li Zhenying had no idea what they were talking about. She just ran to the incense table out of curiosity, stood on tiptoe, and curiously touched the Jade Emperor's edict. She looked up and asked innocently, "Father, are you and Third Brother not playing anymore? I still want to see Liangliang!"
Li Jing suppressed his anger, tried his best to show a gentle smile, and touched her head: "Zhenying, go to your mother."
Madam Yin immediately brought Zhenying back to her side.
Li Jing took a deep breath and gritted his teeth, saying, "Jin Xing, you've seen it too. I only have this one daughter, Zhenying, and she's still naive. How could she descend into the mortal world and become a demon to harm people? This monkey has always been against me, but he can't falsely accuse me!"
Nezha then spoke up, "This Sun Wukong's accusation isn't really a false one. Father, you do have a daughter."
Seeing Li Jing's horrified expression, Nezha sneered, "Father, have you forgotten? But that woman isn't your biological daughter. She was originally a demon who became a Daoist. Three hundred years ago, she stole the incense, flowers, and candles from the Tathagata's throne on Mount Lingshan. Upon being discovered by the Tathagata, he ordered my father and me to lead the heavenly soldiers and generals to capture her. We should have been executed on the spot, but the Tathagata was merciful, saying, 'Raising fish in stagnant water will never catch them, while feeding deer in the mountains hopes for immortality.' Therefore, he spared her life. Grateful for this favor, she swore to my father as her adoptive father and my son as her brother. She returned to the lower realms to set up an altar for her spirit tablet and offer incense. Unexpectedly, she transformed into a demon again and committed evil, framing Tang Sanzang. Sun Wukong discovered her whereabouts, seized the spirit tablet and incense burner, and brought this to justice in the heavens. She is an adopted daughter, not a biological child."
When Li Jing heard this, he was shocked, "I actually forgot about this!"
At this time, Sun Wukong started to act like a spoiled child and said to Taibai Jinxing: "Look! Look! You still say that I, Sun Wukong, am making a false accusation! It is Li Tianwang who is making a false accusation! What biological daughter and adopted daughter, aren't they all your daughters?! Let's go! Let's go to the Jade Emperor to seek justice!" As he said that, he was about to pull Li Jing's sleeve to go to the Lingxiao Palace.
Li Jing, aware of his guilt, begged Sun Wukong humbly. But Sun Wukong, in turn, was relentless, as if he would not give up until he brought Li Jing to the Jade Emperor.
It is certainly fun to watch Sun Wukong playing tricks through the screen, but it is just noisy when you see it in real life.
It's really noisy.
I couldn't help but shout, "Sun Dasheng, one day in heaven is one year on earth. If you go to the Jade Emperor to seek justice again, your master will probably be turned into a male mantis."
The atmosphere was lonely.
Little Lotus lowered her head, "I thought you were going to say it's time to be a father."
I muttered, "Almost."
Sun Wukong looked at me intently: "Little Carp, what is this male mantis talking about?"
When Sun Wukong asked me about this, I said, "When a male and a female mantis have sex, they eat the male when they have babies."
The atmosphere fell silent again.
Taibai Jinxing shrugged slightly and said slowly, "That's exactly the truth. These things are secondary. Saving your master is the most important thing right now."
Sun Wukong's eyes rolled, and he patted his clothes. "Little Carp has a point. When I return from my pilgrimage, we'll settle our accounts! Let's go, let's go!" As he passed us, he smiled and took Little Lotus's arm and said, "Little Lotus, come with us! That rat spirit is the Third Prince's sister, and you, Little Lotus, are also the Third Prince. I want to make it easy for the rat spirit to recognize which one is her brother!"
I:……
Little Lotus: ...
Nezha: ...
"No! The Jade Emperor has ordered that Little Lotus and the God of the Yunshui River be temporarily placed in Heaven and can only leave after the matter is resolved." Nezha immediately put on a dark face and stopped Sun Wukong from conscripting men.
"Okay, okay!" Sun Wukong threw his arm back. "I'll go ask the Jade Emperor for instructions. I don't think Li Tianwang is feeling well today, so why not let Little Lotus go?"
Li Tianwang was once again slapped in the face, his expression furious. However, he was in the wrong first, and after a previous fight with Nezha and Little Lotus, he did not dare to join them in the mortal world to eliminate the demons.
Seeing this, Taibai Jinxing said, "Then the Third Prince and Little Lotus will go with you. The Third Prince will go to the South Heavenly Gate to inspect the troops first, and we'll go back together when you return."
Sun Wukong laughed and said, "How do we explain the imperial edict?"
Taibai Jinxing said, "I said, the plaintiff has escaped, and the defendant is free. Li Tianwang will go with us to the Lingxiao Palace to apologize, and the matter will be settled. I will take care of it, don't worry."
——
"So why should I come too?"
I stared blankly at Little Lotus. Helplessness flashed across his cold eyes. "How could I leave you alone in Yunlou Palace?"
"You make it sound like I'm weak. After all, I'm the God of the Yunshui River."
Sun Wukong, who was riding a cloud in front, laughed when he heard this and said, "That little lotus is reluctant to leave you. How come the River Goddess doesn't understand? Hehehe..."
I:……
I don't want to be watched by monkeys at all.
The Jade Emperor really dotes on monkeys. After Sun Wukong asked for permission, he agreed to let Little Lotus go in place of Li Jing, and Little Lotus took me along.
"I wonder if I can go to Yunshui River after this is over?"
Little Lotus said nonchalantly, "Just go. Could it be that the Jade Emperor still cares about that cup of tea?"
I thought so too. Going to Yunshui River only takes a short time and won't delay my return to Heaven. Besides, I am the river god of Yunshui River, so this trip is only natural.
Since I couldn't fly clouds, I kept clinging to Little Lotus's arm. Actually, Little Lotus couldn't ride a wind-fire wheel either, but he could. It was just that this time, Sun Wukong was the one calling for help, so he couldn't ride himself. Naturally, Sun Wukong was willing to talk us into it and took us along. After transforming back into human form, the rainbow hair was the only thing on my body. The colorful Mary Sue scene had truly come to life. Anyway, the novelty still hasn't worn off for me.
Nezha, still arrogant and imperious, rode his colorful wind-fire wheel, followed by a group of heavenly soldiers and generals. Seeing this, Sun Wukong whispered to us, "Just now, my old official and I entered the Cloud Tower Palace. The ground was in a mess. Did they fight?"
Little Lotus snorted softly, and I said, "The Heavenly King Li was blinded by the Seven-Colored Wind Fire Wheel, and Nezha took advantage of the situation to snatch the pagoda from him. Li Jing, enraged, ordered his generals to use the Tathagata's Demon Binding Rope. The two sides engaged in a fight, and Little Lotus took advantage of the opportunity to intervene, and that's how it ended... If you and Taibai Jinxing hadn't arrived, I'm afraid the battle would have been much more serious."
Sun Wukong showed a surprised expression. "Oh? Looks like I came at the wrong time!"
I smiled slightly, "To be honest, this marriage between the Rat Demon and the Holy Monk is something that Heaven cannot tolerate."
When Sun Wukong heard this, he burst into laughter.
"But I have also heard about the story between the Third Prince and his father. I never thought that the Third Prince would not..."
Little Lotus's cold voice carried a chilling tone: "It's simple, but what about the consequences? He's giving Tathagata face. Besides, has Tathagata never thought about this?"
It's been so many years now, so I can just scare Li Jing like this. Killing him would be easy, but what about Nezha? There's no Taiyi Zhenren here to fully protect him.
…
The speed of subduing the demon was extremely fast, and the rat demon was captured in an instant. I felt that the heavenly soldiers and generals were useless. Nezha handed the rat demon over to the heavenly soldiers and generals and asked them to take it back to heaven for trial.
"I still have some things to do, you go back first." Nezha ordered.
The heavenly soldiers and generals took the order and returned to heaven with the mouse.
After saying goodbye to Sun Wukong, Tang Seng and others, we went to Yunshui River.
"Speaking of which, what exactly are the rules in Heaven? Since we arrived, we haven't encountered anyone like us."
Nezha spoke frankly, "I don't know. As far as I'm concerned, where you came from should also be where you're going. Although it's not certain, it's a possibility."
I slowly lowered my head and looked at Little Lotus. "Is this Qianyuan Mountain?"
Little Lotus nodded. "Besides that, I can't think of anything else."
Yes, there was no Yunshui River in the late Shang Dynasty.
Nezha said, "If you can leave, perhaps this matter will be over. So far, no one from other worlds has been found. Perhaps it is just targeting you now."
It's even harder to guess if it's targeting us. I haven't offended anyone in Qianyuan Mountain, so how could it be targeting us?
But no matter what, let's go find the crane first. We came from Qianyuan Mountain, so we should go back from Qianyuan Mountain as well.
It’s just that accidents always happen unexpectedly.
On the way from Xiankong Mountain to Yunshui River, I happened to pass through the Shu region. At the time, I didn't think much of it. I just thought I'd go find the crane first, and then go to Yunshui River to make an explanation. It just so happened that I passed through the Shu region, and Qianyuan Mountain was in the Shu region.
The vortex that we hadn't seen for a long time once again sucked us in. Even though the two of us were riding on hot wheels, we couldn't escape the vortex's suction.
"Ayu!" Little Lotus shouted, and the red silk quickly wrapped around my body, and I also held the red silk tightly.
Nezha wrapped the Hun Tian Ling in his hand around Little Lotus and said sternly, "Hold on tight!"
I feel like I'm back in the washing machine again, ready to throw up...
