In fact, this is not a big deal. Fang Jian and Cen Biqing are close friends, and the immortal official is not a wooden man. Who can't allow the immortal official to have a few friends?
But what Feng Ling said next aroused Fang Jian's vigilance. That was because the demon fairy in Lingji Mountain seemed to be doing something very ambitious through these immortal officials.
But Feng Ling couldn't explain what exactly happened. He had only occasionally come into contact with one of the immortal officials.
That's why Fang Jian went to Lingji Mountain a few days ago, but he didn't expect that Hu Meng actually had contact with the Lotus Mother and could even borrow the Hundred Ghosts Bottle from her.
However, now that Hu Meng has confessed all his crimes, the verdict can be announced.
Fang Jian stood up and addressed Hu Meng, "Hu Meng, I am now sentencing you according to the 'Heavenly Jade Code: Immortal Official Code.' You have violated Article 33 of the Immortal Official Code: Any immortal official who keeps a ghost in a divine palace without authorization shall be punished with one hundred lashes of thunder. If a ghost is allowed to enter the human world, their official rank shall be revoked and they shall be imprisoned in the Lei Ze Prison for five hundred years. If a ghost injures a human and causes disability or death, it shall be split into two and thrown into the animal realm as a pig for ten lifetimes."
After Fang Jian finished speaking, he counted on his fingers and said, "Up until the time you were brought to justice, the demons you released hadn't harmed anyone. Therefore, I hereby sentence you as follows: You are stripped of your sixth-rank official rank, demoted to the rank of a casual cultivator, and sentenced to five hundred years in the Lei Ze Prison. As for your minor crimes, they are not covered by the Heavenly Laws and Jade Code, so I will not sentence you. You will be left to the afterlife for the underworld to judge. This is my order."
Hu Meng sighed, but this result was already very good. At least with his cultivation level in the Yang God Realm, he would still be able to enjoy himself for a few more years after five hundred years.
As Hu Meng was dragged away, the Hu Meng case ended and everything that happened afterwards had nothing to do with him.
After bidding farewell, Bai Xingjian returned to the Three Realms Inspection Office. However, Fang Jian did not leave the Thunder Department immediately. Instead, he studied the Hundred Ghosts Bottle with Jian He, the Prime Minister of the Taiyi Thunder Department.
"How can this thing capture and release ghosts?" Fang Jian said, stroking his chin and staring at the Hundred Ghosts Bottle.
Jian He said, "I'm afraid it requires a spell. Didn't you ask Hu Meng just now?"
Fang Jian slapped his head and said, "Hey, I forgot about this."
Fang Jian then quickly sent someone to bring Hu Meng back, and after asking for the incantation to release the ghost, he had him taken away again.
After receiving the spell, Fang Jian immediately cast a spell to recall the ghosts that had invaded the human world.
But he soon realized a problem, "This is Heaven."
Jian He said with a smile: "And it's from the Thunder Department."
In Heaven, the Ministry of Thunder, the biggest problem would be if the Hundred Ghosts Bottle could still be used.
From the moment the Hundred Ghosts Bottle entered the South Heaven Gate and the Thunder Department, it was suppressed.
"Alas, we can only take it to the mortal world for use." Fang Jian said as he was about to pick up the Hundred Ghosts Bottle.
But Jian He immediately stopped him and reached out to grab the Hundred Ghosts Bottle. "Master Hongqing, this Hundred Ghosts Bottle is now a piece of evidence. Moreover, a magical weapon like this cannot leave the Thunder Department from the moment it enters the Thunder Department. It must be sealed on the spot by the Thunder Department."
Fang Jian held his head with both hands. He had also thought of this, "I..., what should I do with those ghosts!"
Those ghosts haven't hurt anyone yet, but no one can guarantee that they won't hurt people in the future. Now that Hu Meng has been sentenced, the subsequent events have nothing to do with him.
Now the responsibility of the Hundred Ghosts Bottle falls on Fang Jian. If those ghosts hurt people in the human world, it will definitely be blamed on Fang Jian.
Jian He chuckled and said, "That's none of my business. I'm just following the rules. Now this Hundred Ghosts Bottle must remain sealed in the Thunder Department and cannot leave it even a step."
In desperation, Fang Jian had to return to the human world immediately and went back to Luer Village as soon as possible.
In Luer Village, the land gods Baozheng and Mei Xianzhang have captured two ghosts that have fled to Luer Village and are now locked in the Luer Village Land Temple.
When Fang Jian saw the two ghosts locked by the soul-binding rope in front of him, he immediately realized that something was wrong.
Because the two ghosts in front of him were gradually becoming manic. They were struggling and roaring frantically, and the ghost aura on their bodies was getting heavier and heavier.
"The longer these ghosts are away from the Hundred Ghosts Bottle, the more manic they will become." Fang Jian came to this conclusion after careful observation with his divine sense.
In other words, these ghosts must not be allowed to continue roaming in the world of the living, otherwise they will definitely harm people.
Thinking of this, Fang Jian immediately decided to take action himself and capture all these ghosts.
At this moment, Fang Jian suddenly heard a series of "ding ding bang bang" sounds coming from the side. He turned his head and saw Mei Xianzhang having a friendly academic exchange on "The Analects of Confucius" with the two locked ghosts.
"Master Hongqing, this time it was all thanks to Xiao Xianzhang's magic weapon, otherwise I wouldn't be able to catch these two ghosts with my old bones." said the land god Baozheng.
Fang Jian smiled faintly, then said to the land god, "Land God, you continue to watch over these two ghosts. I will go and capture the rest of them."
"Are there other ghosts?" The land god Bao Zheng asked in surprise.
"Yes." Fang Jian nodded, then said to Mei Xianzhang, "Zhang'er, you and this old man stay here to watch over these two ghosts. I'll be back soon."
Mei Xianzhang turned around and said to Fang Jian, "I understand, Dad." Then he turned around and punched a ghost in the face.
A mortal body cannot come into contact with a ghost, let alone fight with it, but if you have magical powers, this problem will not exist.
