Ao Ren was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then cold sweat immediately streamed down his forehead. He swallowed hard and asked, "Excuse me, messenger, I wonder what the Heavenly Emperor wants to see you about? Could you tell me a few things?"
But Xiang Yuan glanced at him calmly, then said, "I don't know. Don't dawdle any longer. Follow me to the Scarlet Cloud Palace."
Then Xiang Yuan turned to the Water Palace Judge and said, "You will come with us."
The judge was also shocked when he heard this, and his face turned a little ugly, but he dared not disobey the order, so he bowed and said, "Yes."
An incense stick of time later, in the Fatian Hall of the Chiyun Heavenly Palace, facing the majesty of Xuanling Tianjun and the questioning of Master Bai Zhen, and under the truthful report of the Water Palace Judge, Ao Ren finally couldn't hold on any longer and collapsed to the ground.
Ao Ren trembled all over, his face pale. He knew perfectly well what punishment he was about to face. … Although he hadn't disobeyed the imperial edict, he had indeed missed the rain-making time. When Fang Jian left and issued the decree to the Southern Heavenly Palace, the thunder and fire were still confined to Lingji Mountain. Even after the Southern Heavenly Palace's decree was issued, by the time the Water Palace judge arrived at Lingji Mountain after that delay, the thunder and fire had only just spread to the edge of the mountain.
Therefore, if Ao Ren had not delayed and came to put out the fire immediately after receiving the decree, there would have been more than enough time and the fire would not have spread out.
However, Ao Ren did not arrive at Lingji Mountain until nearly half an incense stick of time after the decree of the Southern Heaven Palace was issued. By then, the fire had spread nearly a hundred miles. If the local immortal officials and the water generals of the Water Palace had not tried their best to stop the spread of the fire, and if King Jiangdu Guangyuan had not happened to pass by, the fire would have spread to the villages, towns and cities where mortals lived, causing a catastrophe.
But afterwards, Ao Ren not only did not explain the situation and apologize, but he also wanted to take away the credit of King Jiangdu Guangyuan. If King Jiangdu Guangyuan had not submitted a memorial to explain the situation, he would have almost gotten away with it this time.
Under the continuous questioning of Master Bai Zhen and the truthful report of the Water Palace Judge, Ao Ren also revealed that the rain he had sent in Bailu Palace over the years was not enough.
Not only Master Bai Zhen, but even Heavenly Monarch Xuan Ling was furious. He pointed at Ao Ren and said, "Catch this evil creature and send him to the Ministry of Thunder for trial."
When Ao Ren heard the words "Thunder Department", he was struck by lightning. He knelt on the spot and kowtowed, saying: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I will never dare to do it again. Please give me a chance. I will turn over a new leaf and work diligently. Please forgive me."
Xuanling Tianjun said nothing more, but waved his sleeves and said, "Escort the Thunder Department immediately."
...
The story begins seventy years ago, when the Lotus Mother was just a mysterious immortal.
At that time, her Taoist temple was not Lingji Mountain, but Huaqing Pool at the foot of Mount Li.
The Lotus Mother's true form is a 'Qingyang White Lotus' in the Huaqing Pool. She gained intelligence five hundred years ago, absorbed the essence of the sun and moon for three thousand years, and attained enlightenment. She then spent another five thousand years cultivating to become an immortal, ultimately achieving the true immortal fruit.
When the Lotus Mother picked the true immortal fruit, the capital of the Tang Dynasty had not yet been established.
Then another 60,000 years passed, and the Lotus Mother finally picked the Xuanxian Dao Fruit, and then she embarked on a journey of traveling around the world to consolidate her foundation.
However, by this time the Tang Dynasty had been established for more than four thousand years, and the young emperor Li Hong, who was only thirteen years old, ascended the throne.
Then, things changed. The first thing the thirteen-year-old emperor Li Hong did after ascending the throne was to rebuild the Huaqing Palace. He then invited the Heavenly Master from the Heavenly Master Mansion in Longhu Mountain to preside over the reconstruction of the Huaqing Palace.
At this time, the Lotus Mother's true body had not yet been refined by her, and was buried in the spiritual eye underground in Huaqing Pool for nourishment.
In this way, during the process of Li Hong rebuilding Huaqing Palace, the spiritual eye was dug out because the Heavenly Master wanted to set up an array under the spiritual eye.
But as the spiritual eye was dug out, the root of the Lotus Mother was also dug out. Unfortunately, the Heavenly Master discovered that there was a Qingyang White Lotus fairy root that was more than 60,000 years old in the spiritual eye, so he wanted to dig it back to make the elixir.
However, the Celestial Master's power was too weak to break through the Qingyang White Lotus Immortal Root's defenses. Undeterred, he summoned the Emperor, Li Hong. … Upon hearing that it was an immortal root and receiving the Celestial Master's promise to refine it into an elixir and offer it to him, Li Hong severed the Qingyang White Lotus Immortal Root with the Emperor's Sword.
Because Li Hong was the Human Emperor and was blessed with the Human Emperor's luck, he cut off the Qingyang White Lotus Immortal Root effortlessly.
In this way, the roots of the Lotus Mother were cut off, and then she was taken back to Longhu Mountain and refined into an elixir.
The root was destroyed, and the Lotus Mother, who had hoped to go further on the path to immortality, was directly cut off from her path. When she rushed back, she only found a piece of the remaining root under her spiritual eye.
The Lotus Mother refined the remaining root into her body, and used this power to obtain the Taiyi Xuanxian Dao Fruit.
But unfortunately, she could only stay at the Taiyi Xuanxian realm from then on. Her innate roots were destroyed and she could no longer move forward.
With such a deep hatred, the Lotus Mother naturally wanted to take revenge. She first killed the Heavenly Master, and then prepared to kill Li Hong.
But Li Hong was protected by the destiny of the Human Emperor, and even if she was Taiyi Xuanxian, she could not touch Li Hong at all. Then she opened a Taoist temple in Lingji Mountain and made friends with various immortal officials in order to find a way to break the destiny of the Human Emperor.
Unfortunately, Mother Lotus never got what she wanted until the Taoist sect was defeated this time. She had a dream while practicing. In the dream, a voice told her when Li Hong's luck as the Human Emperor would disappear.
You should know that a Taiyi Xuanxian does not need to sleep at all and will not dream at all. Once she dreams, it can only be that a powerful person is guiding her in the dream.
So after waking up, the Lotus Mother immediately rushed to Chang'an City. When the time came, she found that Li Hong's luck as the Human Emperor had disappeared. The Lotus Mother decisively killed Li Hong who was bathing with his concubine in the Huaqing Pool, and even shattered his soul, finally avenging her great revenge.
This is all the causal details about the Lotus Mother killing the Human Emperor Li Hong as found out by the Ministry of Thunder.
