Heaven, Taishi Immortal Capital, inside Taishi Immortal Palace.
The Queen Mother of the West sat on the nine-colored auspicious cloud and looked at the Lady of the West who was sitting high on the upper auspicious cloud.
The Queen Mother of the West sighed softly, then said, "My sister is taller than me now."
When Jiu Tian Xuan Nu heard this, she couldn't help but smile, and then said, "Sister, you're joking. I'm already past the age of growing taller."
The "high" that the Queen Mother of the West refers to is in terms of status. The Queen Mother of the West is now one of the Five Heavenly Emperors, and her status is only below that of the Jade Emperor, so she is naturally higher than the Queen Mother of the West.
But Jiu Tian Xuan Nu said that she was past the age of growing taller and turned the topic to height. It can be seen that Jiu Tian Xuan Nu is also a master at pretending to be confused.
The Queen Mother of the West gently stroked the cat in her arms. Upon hearing this, she simply smiled and said to the Lady of the Nine Heavens, "When you were the Grand Emissary, you addressed me as 'Niangniang.' Now that you've become one of the 'Five Imperial Guards,' you call me 'Sister.' Is there any deity in Heaven more astute than you?"
The Lady of the Nine Heavens smiled and said, "The Heavenly Court is full of talented people. There are naturally many gods who are more capable than me."
The Queen Mother of the West said, "I was talking about shrewdness, not ability. Forget it, I always talk to you like this. By the way, have you seen the spiritual light and shadow that have been spreading throughout Xiniu Hezhou and the Heavenly Palace these days?"
The Lady of the Nine Heavens was startled when she heard this, then asked, "Sister, what do you mean by spiritual illumination? These days, I've been perfecting the laws and regulations of the Taishi Immortal City, and I'm not familiar with what's going on outside."
Upon hearing this, Queen Mother Xi couldn't help but smile softly and said, "Sister, do you want to see it?"
"?" Jiu Tian Xuan Nu looked at the Queen Mother of the West's expression and felt something was amiss. She was about to reply, "I'll see," but changed her mind and didn't say it out loud. Instead, she counted with her fingers.
The Queen Mother of the West saw the Lady of the West counting on her fingers to calculate the mysteries of heaven, shook her head and smiled slightly, then waited quietly.
After a few breaths, Lady Jiu Tian put her right hand down again. At this time, she already knew everything that the Queen Mother of the West had said.
The Queen Mother of the West then said, "Such a serious incident has occurred in the Western Heaven Palace, and that True Man Hongqing cannot escape responsibility. After all, the Heavenly Monarch Youde of the Western Heaven Palace has already requested to go into seclusion, leaving all affairs under the management of True Man Hongqing. I didn't expect that he would cause such a big trouble just after taking power. This time, the Heavenly Court has lost face."
The Queen Mother of the West smiled faintly and did not refute what she said.
Seeing this, Queen Mother Xi was quite surprised. She looked at Lady Jiu Tian and said, "Sister, aren't you worried about him? He's the talent you personally promoted and the one you value most."
Jiu Tian Xuan Nu asked in return, "Sister, what do you think I'm worried about?"
The Queen Mother of the West said, "He's caused such a big mess. The Grand Master will definitely punish him. Aren't you worried?"
Upon hearing this, Lady Jiu Tian Xuan Nu said confidently, "Don't worry, I believe he can handle this matter."
"You trust him so much?" Queen Mother Xi said in surprise, "I've never seen you so confident in someone else's abilities."
Jiu Tian Xuan Nu smiled and said, "If you don't believe me, you can make a bet with me."
"Oh? What are you betting on?" Queen Mother of the West asked curiously.
The Lady of the Nine Heavens said, "If Fang Jian can handle this matter properly this time, I will give you a basket of nine thousand year old peaches. If Fang Jian cannot, I will give you the 'Hua Yan Jade Guardian'."
Upon hearing this, the Queen Mother of the West's eyes lit up and she asked, "But what about the Avatamsaka Jade Scepter that my sister won from the hands of the Great Sun Tathagata Buddha back then, engraved with the Avatamsaka Sutra using great wisdom?"
"That's right." Queen Mother of the West nodded.
Immortals often make bets among themselves, especially those above the Daluo level. Their cultivation has transcended the Three Realms, so apart from preaching and saving people, there are few things that can interest them on weekdays.
Moreover, these people cannot fight with each other easily, so they like to gamble. What they gamble with is their magic power, their Taoism, and their ability to grasp and sort out the mysteries of heaven.
Since it is a bet, there must be a stake. However, the Huayan Jade Town of the Nine Heavens Fairy was won from the hands of the Great Sun Tathagata by real strength.
That was 70,000 years ago. There was a conflict between the Heavenly Court and Buddhism. The Buddha Vairocana declared that he wanted to "examine" Taoism with the Four Great Emperors. The Four Great Emperors naturally disdained to take part in the battle personally, so the Queen Mother of the West stepped forward.
Then the two made a bet. If Jiu Tian Xuan Nu lost, the Heavenly Court would give in. If Jiu Tian Xuan Nu won, she would take the Huayan Jade Guardian of Vairocana Buddha.
Why the Huayan Jade Guardian? Because the Huayan Jade Guardian is the treasure used by the Huayan Sect to suppress its destiny.
Needless to say, the result was that the Queen Mother of the West and the Great Sun Buddha had a battle in the chaos, and in the end the Queen Mother of the West won with a clear advantage over the Great Sun Buddha.
"Then let's make it like this." Queen Mother Xi said, "Sister, please don't break your promise."
The Lady of the Nine Heavens nodded and smiled, "Don't worry, sister. I'm not the kind of person who would go back on my word."
...
Xitian Palace, Hongde Hall.
Hu Miao Niang and the other two girls lay on the ground extremely weakly. Their faces were pale, their bodies were covered in cold sweat, and their eyes were filled with deep pain.
"Your Excellency, the Minister, all of their memories have been extracted using the soul-searching and spirit-questioning method." General Fatan reported to Fang Jian.
Fang Jian then asked the ruined temple general, "Is the spiritual light recording finished?"
General Po Miao nodded and said, "It has all been recorded."
Fang Jian said, "Let it out and see."
So the general who destroyed the temple released the spiritual light in the Hongde Hall. In the spiritual light, Hu Miaoniang and the other five girls described in detail how Kong Xiu instructed them to kidnap the general, and then forced them to have sex with him, and finally how they were instructed by Kong Xiu to release the spiritual light.
