"I wonder why Empress Nuwa has summoned us for something important?"
Yun Zhongzi looked at Fairy Caifeng with some curiosity, feeling a little uneasy in his heart.
After all, Empress Nuwa is a saint. If there is nothing important, how could she summon them so easily?
Yang Ling roughly understood what was going on.
He knew that it was Emperor Xin who wrote obscene poems on the wall to blaspheme Nuwa Empress when he was offering incense at the Nuwa Temple. This made the saint so angry that he almost killed the human king directly.
Later, she did not intend to reveal the matter. Instead, she used the demon-calling banner to summon the three demons from Xuanyuan Tomb. She ordered them to hide their demonic forms, sneak into the harem, confuse the king's heart, and ruin the great business community!
The three demons of Xuanyuan Tomb are a thousand-year-old fox spirit, a nine-headed pheasant spirit, and a jade pipa spirit.
Now this thousand-year-old vixen has only been in the palace for a few months and has just established a foothold. Before she could commit any evil deeds, she was killed by Yun Zhongzi and Yang Ling!
Empress Nuwa summoned them this time, most likely to accuse them of this matter.
But when the saint called him, he didn't dare not go.
At that moment, the two of them immediately calmed down and said to Fairy Caifeng: "Thank you, fellow Taoist, for conveying the message. We will follow you right away."
Fairy Caifeng nodded slightly, and her body turned into a streak of colorful light, leading Yang Ling and Yun Zhongzi through the sea of clouds and flying higher into the sky.
Taisu Tian is thirty-three days away. It is a vast world opened up in the chaos outside the sky when the saint Nuwa attained enlightenment and became a saint.
Under the leadership of Fairy Caifeng, Yang Ling and Yun Zhongzi came to a vast and magnificent world.
At a glance, one can see beautiful mountains and rivers, fertile plains, big rivers rushing into the sea, countless fairy birds dancing and auspicious beasts galloping, and the scenery is picturesque.
This is Taisutian located in the boundless chaos thirty-three days away.
It is said that this Taisutian is a vast world created out of thin air by the saint Nuwa with great magic power in the boundless chaos.
After attaining enlightenment and becoming a saint, the saint moved his Taoist palace to Taisu Tianzhong, and from then on he rarely appeared in the wild.
At this time, Yang Ling and Yun Zhongzi, led by Fairy Caifeng, arrived at a magnificent Taoist palace.
In the palace, with incense burners lingering and auspicious clouds floating in the air, a dignified goddess was sitting cross-legged on the cloud bed, her eyes slightly closed, and the endless aura of the avenue flowing around her, full of inviolable majesty.
In front of the left side of the cloud bed, there is a clear pool, the water surface is sparkling, and wisps of mist are rising, just like the rising smoke of incense, it looks particularly quiet and elegant.
There is only one plain white lotus in the lotus pond. It is as clean and flawless as white jade. It is the size of a sea bowl and exudes an intoxicating light floral fragrance at all times.
"Mother, we have been brought here."
Fairy Caifeng bowed respectfully.
Yang Ling quickly collected his thoughts and saluted with Yun Zhongzi, "Disciple, I pay my respects to my uncle. May my uncle live a long life!"
Saint Nuwa opened her eyes, her gaze was like the deep starry sky, and she swept across the two of them indifferently. Her voice was as calm as water: "Do you know why I called you here?"
Yun Zhongzi looked confused, shook his head, and said: "Disciple, I don't know, please ask Uncle Master to clarify."
Although Yang Ling knew what was going on, he remained calm on his face and echoed: "Reporting to Uncle Master, the disciples don't know, please give me some advice."
An imperceptible light flashed in the eyes of Saint Nuwa, and she said calmly: "You just killed the nine-tailed fox not long ago, aren't you curious about why she was able to hide in the palace?"
Yun Zhongzi was slightly stunned, a little confused.
Yang Ling knew it all, and felt a little uneasy in his heart. This saint had indeed come to investigate!
At this time, Yun Zhongzi also came to his senses and suddenly said: "That man, Emperor Xin, has the protection of great Shang Qi. No ordinary immortals or gods can hurt him, and evil spirits cannot get close to him!
But the nine-tailed fox is obviously a monster, but it is really strange to be able to have skin-to-skin contact with it!
The disciple didn’t know the reason, so he asked his uncle to give him some advice! "
"..."
Yang Ling was speechless.
He couldn't tell whether the Fortune Golden Immortal really didn't understand or was pretending to be dumbfounded. Anyway, looking at the expressionless and cold face of Nuwa Empress, he probably wasn't satisfied with the answer.
After all, Empress Nuwa sent the three demons into Chaoge just to harm the Shang King Di Xin and vent her bad anger.
Although this move is quite petty for a dignified saint, but who says that a saint can't be angry?
What's more, she is a female saint!
She didn't kill Di Xin directly, which was considered to be very considerate of the overall situation. Now she sent three demons to bring trouble to Di Xin. The nine-tailed fox had just made some progress, so Yang Ling and Yun Zhongzi killed it. Who can be without anger?
Sure enough, after listening to Yun Zhongzi's words, Nuwa's eyes flashed with coldness, and she said in a deep voice: "Since you don't know, then think about it here, and wait until you figure it out."
Yang Ling: (─.─||)
Listening to these familiar words, Yang Ling was quite speechless.
Once upon a time, when he was in that world, he was often scolded like this.
The Nuwa Empress in front of him didn't feel like a superior saint at all, but rather like a stern teacher.
At this time, Yun Zhongzi also heard the anger in Nuwa's words, and said hurriedly: "Uncle, I really don't know what my fault is, please give me some advice."
Nuwa ignored him and closed her eyes, as if she was about to gain enlightenment again.
Yun Zhongzi was stunned for a moment, looked at Yang Ling with a wry smile, and asked, "Fellow Taoist, do you understand what the uncle said?"
"This...let me think about it."
Seeing the appearance of Saint Nuwa, Yang Ling couldn't sit still.
Is this Saint Nuwa really going to put them in confinement?
Wouldn't they let them go if they didn't admit their mistake?
Although he didn't know much about Nuwa, judging from the fact that this saint was able to send three demons to harm Di Xin, he might really be able to do such a thing!
Thinking like this, Yang Ling quickly said: "Uncle Qi, this disciple has figured it out!"
"Oh?" Saint Nuwa looked up at him and said calmly: "Can you tell me?"
Yang Ling organized his words in his mind and said sternly: "Disciple, I dare to make a guess. If there is any confusion, please forgive me!"
He first put a layer of armor on himself, and then said seriously: "The reason why the nine-tailed fox was able to hide in the palace is because of your will..."
"What?" Yun Zhongzi seemed a little surprised and said quickly: "Fellow Taoist, don't talk nonsense. How could the empress instruct evildoers to cause trouble in the palace?"
Yang Ling ignored it and looked at Nuwa Empress and continued: "The rise and fall of dynasties is the cycle of heaven. Chengtang's luck is gloomy and he will lose the world; Fengming Qishan, the Holy Lord has been born in the Western Zhou Dynasty.
God's will has been determined, and Qi has determined it.
Therefore, my uncle ordered the nine-tailed fox demon to hide its demonic form and stay in the palace to confuse the king's mind. This was an act in compliance with the laws of heaven. "
Although Yang Ling knew that Empress Nuwa sent the three demons into the palace because Emperor Xin wrote a blasphemous poem, he would not be stupid enough to say it in public. Instead, he used the name of heaven to give Empress Nuwa a reasonable explanation for her move.
"You are right."
Empress Nuwa glanced at Yang Ling with a slightly strange look, then raised her eyes to Yun Zhongzi and said calmly: "Do you understand now?"
"Disciple understands." Yun Zhongzi said with a bitter smile: "It was my disciple who was reckless and killed the nine-tailed fox by mistake."
Before he finished speaking, Yang Ling shook his head and said: "Although we were indeed a little reckless, we did not kill wrongly!"
"oh?"
Empress Nuwa frowned slightly, looked at Yang Ling and said, "How do you say this?"
Yang Ling said in a deep voice: "Disciple makes a bold guess. Although the nine-tailed fox entered the palace under the order of the empress to confuse the monarch, with the empress's kindness, she will not let her kill innocent people."
"This is natural!" Nuwa Empress nodded and said: "When I ordered her to go to Chaoge, I told her again and again not to kill anyone... Could it be that she has violated the precept?"
"Your Majesty, your Majesty!" Yang Ling said respectfully: "Although your Majesty loves the world, this evildoer is refractory by nature. Before entering the palace, he had killed the real Su Daji and pretended to be her to sneak into the harem.
In the past few months after entering the palace, many courtiers advised King Shang to stay away from this evildoer. As a result, this evildoer held a grudge and repeatedly slandered him in front of King Shang. He also personally designed a torture method called "Paolao" to eradicate him. alien! "
He briefly explained the Pao-rao torture, and then said in a deep voice: "My Lady, please see, such vicious torture was the evildoer's idea! If left unchecked, more evil will be committed in the future.
If people know that she was sent to Chaoge by you, I'm afraid some people who don't know the truth will think that this is all your instruction! "
Hearing this, Saint Nuwa's face suddenly showed anger, and she said in a cold voice: "I have repeatedly told you not to kill, but this evildoer is so stubborn that he not only violated the prohibition of killing, but also has such a vicious heart that death is not enough." Cherish!”
Seeing this, Yang Ling quickly echoed: "Uncle, you have great insight and understanding of the righteousness, which really impresses my disciples.
There is something wrong with the disciple's actions today. It should be reported to Uncle Master first, and he will deal with it personally. It's just that Tai Sutian is far away and it is inconvenient to come and go, so he came up with this strategy.
From now on, the disciples will definitely act more cautiously and not let the empress worry anymore. "
Sage Nuwa's face softened slightly, she nodded slightly and said, "I can't blame you this time. Just be more careful in the future."
Yang Ling nodded quickly and promised: "Disciple, please remember your uncle's teachings and never do it again."
Seeing his respectful attitude, Saint Nuwa felt even more satisfied, "How is Senior Brother Taiqing doing lately?"
"Thank you for your concern, Master. Master, he is very well. Some time ago, he said that he would make a furnace of elixir, and I will ask the disciple to bring it to you... By the way, the disciple has a new spiritual tea here, and the teacher praised it after tasting it. Don’t stop talking, I have to bring it to you, Uncle Master, to taste it.”
"Oh, it's rare that senior brother still cares about me... Is He Lingcha so highly regarded by senior brother?"
Seeing that Yang Ling resolved the blame of Saint Nuwa in just a few words and gradually became familiar with him, Yun Zhongzi couldn't help but be a little surprised and confused.
Isn't this Yang Ling too eloquent?
