Chapter 1616 I know what is right and what is wrong...
The spells of the gods were changed into evil curses, which had to be either drawn by hand or performed by a spell, otherwise the spell would fail. This was also done to protect the reputation of the gods.
Shi Ju stayed in the Copper Cave all day and didn't know about this rule.
Now that the original scroll has been found and the spell on the stone gate has been verified, it can be proved that what Shi Ju said was true.
Murong said, "When immortals descend to the mortal world to cause chaos, they should be stripped of their immortal bodies and fall into the cycle of reincarnation."
The wet chicken said, "It's just a personal matter with a nine-tailed fox. How can it be said that he went down to the mortal world to cause trouble?"
Murong glared at him and said, "You indirectly harmed thousands of innocent lives with your evil curse, and this is also a private matter?"
The wet chicken said, "The evil curse only makes people uneasy, how can it kill people? Killing innocent people and forcing her young son to death, weren't those all her own subjective will? No one forced her!"
Murong said, "Human intelligence and thinking are fueled by the spirit. If the intelligence is short and the thinking is weak, the spirit will not understand. The mind is the foundation of human rational thinking. Any living being who wants to cultivate to become a human being must cultivate the mind. He has corrupted the very foundation of human beings, disrupted their cultivation, and caused thousands of innocent monsters in the Purple Copper Cave to suffer mental torture for two hundred years. Isn't this vicious enough?"
"She is calm and composed, yet has an unyielding strength of determination. If she had held on to her will, how could she have killed someone. Is Lord Murong making excuses for this monster? These monsters have always committed many evil things, and it is not too much to cut them into pieces. As far as I know, Shiju has been entrenched in Qin'an Mountain, and passers-by have to leave money. How is this different from robbery? Lord Yuehua is just slaying demons and eliminating evildoers. Even if the method is wrong, what she is doing is right." He became more and more determined as he spoke, and even he himself believed in this theory.
He turned and said to the judge indignantly, "God, God Yuehua has endured humiliation for the sake of the people of Dawn. If you punish him severely, who will charge into battle in the future? I hope you will consider this carefully."
Murong also turned around and said to the judge, "God, I disagree with this statement. No matter how many mistakes Shi Ju made, the Heavenly Court should have made the final decision. Yuehua coveted beauty, deceived the Heavenly Court, abandoned his wife and children, and for the sake of fame, he did not hesitate to harm thousands of lives. How can such a person be said to be doing it for the people of Liming? Shi Ju should be beheaded, and people like God Yuehua, who are hypocritical and treacherous, must not be spared!"
Both sides insisted on their own opinions and argued endlessly.
The two parties involved couldn't get a word in at all.
The judging priest glanced at Yuehua, then at Wu Ciyan, who was standing nearby. He cleared his throat, interrupted the two arguing, and said, "This matter requires further consideration. The priest in charge of transcribing the case has made an error and will be demoted one level to serve at the Earth God Temple in the south. Shi Ju has murdered innocent people, and his crime is unforgivable. Tomorrow, his immortal body will be scraped off and he will be punished with thunder, scattering his soul. Yuehua will be imprisoned in Yuehua Palace and will be judged again in three days."
Shi Ju lowered his eyes, speechless.
"How will the trial take place in three days?" Wen Lanzhi asked immediately.
The judge was stunned for a moment and said, "We still need to discuss it."
Wen Lanzhi asked, "Is there anything else we need to discuss?"
The judge said, "Supreme God Yuehua has immeasurable merits and virtues, but he may be confused occasionally. Specifically..."
Wen Lanzhi didn't understand and pressed on, "Didn't he receive a reward in the past when his merits were immeasurable? If he did, it's over. Why should he pay for his foolishness with someone else's life?"
The judge said, "How can there be any reward for the gods' good deeds? Could it be..."
Wen Lanzhi exclaimed, "Every day he has a beautiful palace to live in, delicious fruits to eat, and beautiful clothes to wear. This is his reward! Otherwise, why would he live in the Heavenly Palace instead of others?"
The judge was interrupted repeatedly, his face full of dissatisfaction. He said, "His ability to ascend to heaven is the result of his dedicated practice! It has nothing to do with the others. Besides..."
Wen Lanzhi interrupted him again, saying, "If it has nothing to do with mortals, why build temples for the gods? If it has nothing to do with them, why do mortals have to offer sacrifices? Why do mortals have so many rules for worship, and why do they violate taboos at every turn? Is it because they have nothing to do? If it has nothing to do with them, then you should send dreams to mortals as soon as possible and tell them not to offer sacrifices to you anymore. Otherwise, you will accept their offerings in vain and ignore them. Won't you feel guilty?"
"Yes, Lord." Wu Ciyan continued, "Don't you feel guilty?"
Wen Lanzhi brought the question back to the subject, saying, "I want to know what the decision should be in three days. Will Yuehua die?"
Wu Ciyan responded, "Yes, yes, tell us quickly, will Yuehua die?"
The judge said, "Based on the merits of Moonlight God in the past, it's probably not the case."
Wen Lanzhi was angry and said, "So you still think that Yuehua wasn't rewarded for his good deeds in the past? Do you think that everything he gained was because of his diligent cultivation, not because mortals liked him? Then when will you tell the people in their dreams? Those temples are quite expensive. Every time I go there, they ask me for a lot of money."
Wen Lanzhi cannot quote scriptures, nor does she understand the laws of heaven, but she knows what is right and what is wrong. If the laws of heaven do not even follow the most basic principles, she supports Sister Murong to become the Emperor of Heaven and revise the laws.
The judge was silent.
Murong said, "God, this matter should be dealt with on its own merits. It is the duty of the gods to look after the people. They cannot be exempted from punishment just because they have fulfilled their duties."
The judge looked at Yuehua, who was standing there peacefully, eyes closed, as if everything was just a passing cloud to him.
The judge looked at Wen Lanzhi again and said, "Then follow Miss Wen's wishes. In three days, your immortal body will be shaved off and you will fall into the cycle of reincarnation."
"Why is it my opinion?" Wen Lanzhi insisted, "Don't you have laws in Heaven? How should your laws be used to judge people?"
The judge paused for a moment and said, "According to the laws of Heaven, in three days your immortal body will be stripped away and you will fall into the cycle of reincarnation."
Wu Ciyan asked, "Whose immortal body will be shattered? Who will fall into the cycle of reincarnation?"
The judge was a little impatient and said, "Cut off Yuehua's immortal body and let her fall into the cycle of reincarnation."
Wu Ciyan asked again: "Are you serious?"
The judge said, "Really."
Wu Ciyan said, "Okay."
Yuehua remained unmoved, while Shiju breathed a sigh of relief.
The two prisoners were taken away and the crowd dispersed.
Murong said, "The matter has come to an end. With your pressure, I don't think anyone will cause trouble again. Are you going back to the Demon Realm Imperial City?"
Wu Ciyan said, "Don't go back yet, I have something else to do."
Wu Ci Yan pulled Wen Lanzhi forward. A quarter of an hour later, they entered a palace. The pool inside was steaming, and the dark water was slightly red. There was an overturned green bottle next to it, pouring out a steady stream of water.
Wen Lanzhi reached out her hand and explored it, saying happily, "Wow! It's a hot spring."
"Yeah." Wu Ciyan had already started to take off his clothes. "You're injured, and you've been following me all the way here, so you're tired. Soak in the hot springs and have a good sleep."
She was indeed very tired, so tired that her whole body ached, and the soles of her feet were so painful that she couldn't even stand. Hearing that she could rest, she mustered up her last bit of willpower to take off her clothes, put her legs into the hot spring, and then slid her whole body in, letting out a sigh of satisfaction.
Wu Ciyan said, "Thank you for today. What gift would you like?"
"Hmm..." Wen Lanzhi thought seriously, "I want to follow you for another month."
Wu Ciyan simply said, "Okay."
He took out a white bottle and waved to Wen Lanzhi.
Wen Lanzhi walked against the current, lifted the last layer of cover, and revealed her white and smooth shoulders to him. The bright red bloodstains on them looked like white cloth cut by scissors, which was shocking.
Wu Ci Yan approached her without any hesitation and applied medicine to her, with their heads almost touching each other.
Wen Lanzhi asked, "Can I have one more thing?"
Wu Ciyan asked casually, "What?"
Wen Lanzhi leaned over gently and slowly, her soft cheek touching Wu Ci Yan's hair. She slid down and leaned on his shoulder. Seeing that he did not resist, she pressed the weight of her whole body down on him.
She said, "Let me lean on you for a moment."
Wu Ci Yan turned his face to the side and his lips brushed the tip of Wen Lanzhi's ear. He immediately turned his head back and silently repeated in his heart several times, "I want to be a gentleman."
After a while, he spat softly again. He had been a monster for so many years, why did he suddenly become a gentleman?
But he still didn't turn his head.
His eyes fell on Wen Lanzhi's shoulder, looking at the red blood scab. If he touched it lightly, the skin would tremble.
He lost all thoughts and stood there quietly. The warm spring water flowed through the gap between their bodies. No one wanted to take another step forward and block the flow of the spring water.
After a while, Wen Lanzhi said, "When the verdict was announced today, High God Yuehua showed no fear or sadness at all. Didn't he think he would die?"
Wu Ciyan said: "That should be the case."
Wen Lanzhi asked, "Do you think Heaven will let him go?"
Wu Ciyan said: "I don't know, but he will definitely die."
"Why?"
As soon as Wen Lanzhi asked this question, she suddenly heard a burst of uniform footsteps, and then the sound of the door opening.
She came out of the hot spring, leaned against the window and looked out, almost screaming out in surprise. The person outside was actually Yuehua!
She crawled back in a panic, almost bumping her knees.
"Tsk." Wu Ci Yan helped her up.
Wen Lanzhi asked, "Why is he here?"
Wu Ciyan said, "It's normal for him to be here, right? This is Yuehua Palace."
"Ah?" Wen Lanzhi said, covering her mouth with her hands. "Did you cast the invisibility spell?"
Wu Ciyan shook his head honestly.
Wen Lanzhi asked, "What if he finds us?"
Wu Ciyan leaned back and said casually, "He was going to die anyway. Now that we've discovered him, we've sent him on his way early."
Wen Lanzhi clung to his arm and whispered, "I'm done soaking, let's go back."
Wu Ciyan put his arm around her shoulders and said with a wicked smile, "Sorry, little rabbit, we may have to stay here for a few more days."
Wen Lanzhi asked: "Why?"
Wu Ciyan said, "Keep an eye on him. If he runs away, where will we go to find him? If you're sleepy, we can go to the side hall to sleep. If you want to soak for a while longer, we can stay a while longer. He's not in the mood to soak in the hot springs right now anyway, so he won't be able to find us."
He looked at Wen Lanzhi's panic, rubbed her head, and said with a smile: "What are you afraid of? I'm here! If he dares to pull your rabbit's hair, I will pull out all his hair."
As he spoke, he pulled a handful of the rabbit's tail.
Then the rabbit kicked him lightly.
