Chapter 183 Yin Shiniang's Visit

The white crane flapped its wings lightly, flew across billions of miles of sky, arrived at the misty Kunlun Mountains, headed straight for the Yuxu Palace, drew an elegant arc in the sky, and landed in front of the palace gate.

The gate of Yuxu Palace was wide open. On the white jade steps, cranes were flying and Ganoderma lucidum was everywhere, creating an immortal atmosphere.

The Immortal of the South Pole jumped lightly off the crane's back, his long robe fluttering, and walked into the palace.

In the Yuxu Palace, incense burners were curling and immortal music was lingering. Yuanshi Tianzun sat high on a cloud bed, his eyes as sharp as torches, seeing through the void and all things in the three realms.

Nanji Xianweng walked to the front of Tianzun, bowed deeply, and said respectfully: "Disciple greets Master."

Yuanshi Tianzun opened his deep eyes, which seemed to be able to see into people's hearts. He nodded and said calmly, "Get up, how did this trip turn out?"

Nanji Xianweng hesitated for a moment. He knew that his master had some expectations in his heart, but he still told the truth: "Master, Junior Brother Ziya is devoted to Taoism and does not want to go to Xiqi."

Upon hearing this, Yuanshi Tianzun frowned slightly, and a hint of deep thought flashed in his eyes.

He pondered for a moment, then whispered to the White Crane Boy beside him: "Go, call Shen Gongbao."

The White Crane Boy took the order and left. After a while, a tall and dignified immortal walked into the hall.

Shen Gongbao was wearing a black Taoist robe with a jade pendant hanging from his waist. He walked quickly to Yuanshi Tianzun and bowed respectfully: "Disciple greets Master."

Yuanshi Tianzun nodded and signaled him to stand up, then went straight to the point: "Shen Gongbao, your senior brother Jiang Ziya is still obsessed with practicing Taoism and is unwilling to come down the mountain to assist Xiqi..."

Hearing this, Shen Gongbao was secretly excited and volunteered: "Master, I am willing to take the responsibility of deifying in my place!"

Yuanshi Tianzun shook his head and said, "Jiang Ziya is the chosen one by destiny. His fate is closely related to the great cause of deification, so he is the best choice.

This is God's will, and you cannot replace it."

When Shen Gongbao heard this, he felt as if his heart was hit by a heavy hammer. A trace of astonishment flashed across his eyes, and then he lowered his head with a complicated expression.

After a moment of silence, Shen Gongbao raised his head, his eyes regaining their former determination and resolve. He respectfully asked Yuanshi Tianzun: "Master, since Senior Brother Ziya is the man of destiny, I naturally dare not argue anymore.

I don't know what instructions Master has for calling me here, but I am willing to do my best."

Yuanshi Tianzun looked at Shen Gongbao, a trace of relief flashed in his eyes, he slowly said: "Shen Gongbao, I already understand your intention. Now Jiang Ziya is still obsessed with cultivation and is unwilling to come down the mountain, you can go to Xiqi to assist him secretly.

When Jiang Ziya realizes his destiny, he will be guided on the path to becoming a god."

Shen Gongbao felt even more bitter when he heard this.

This means that he will pave the way for Jiang Ziya to go to Xiqi first, and after the road is paved, he will hand over everything to Jiang Ziya!
Just because of that fate...all his efforts are to prepare wedding clothes for Jiang Ziya!
Yuanshi Tianzun seemed to see through his thoughts and asked calmly, "Are you unwilling?"

Shen Gongbao immediately knelt down and respectfully agreed: "Disciple obeys your command and will not let Master down."

Yuanshi Tianzun nodded, motioned Shen Gongbao to stand up, and then slowly said: "Go, remember, everything must be handled flexibly, and no forced intervention is allowed."

Shen Gongbao took the order, turned around, and turned into a black stream of light and disappeared into the sky.

In the Yuxu Palace, Yuanshi Tianzun closed his eyes again and continued to immerse himself in the insight into all things in the Three Realms. In his mind, the blueprint for the great cause of conferring gods had become increasingly clear.

……

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, little Yang Chan is one year older and is already four years old.

Her eyes are like two clear springs, and her smile is like flowers blooming in spring, which makes people feel warm in their hearts.

Today is her birthday, and Yang Ling went home specially before the sun sets, and cooked for her his favorite braised pork ribs.

In the kitchen, Yang Ling put the marinated ribs into the pan and fried them until both sides were golden brown. He then added the prepared braised sauce and simmered it over low heat.

Soon after, the rich aroma filled the air and drifted throughout the backyard, attracting little Yang Chan to run to the kitchen door from time to time and peek in curiously.

"Daddy, are the ribs ready?" Little Yang Chan pouted and stared at the ribs in the pot eagerly.

"It's almost there, just be patient for a while." Yang Ling responded with a smile, but his hands did not stop moving.

Finally, a sumptuous dinner was placed on the table. The aroma of the braised spareribs made people salivate. Little Yangchan sat on a high dining chair, holding the spareribs in both hands, eating until her mouth was full of oil, her happiness was beyond words.

Just as the family was enjoying dinner happily, the housekeeper came hurriedly and whispered to Yang Ling: "Sir, there is a woman outside who wants to see you. She said her surname is Yin and her husband's surname is Li."

Upon hearing this, Yang Ling paused for a moment with his chopsticks in his hand. He immediately knew that the person coming was Li Jing's wife Yin Shiniang.

They haven't seen each other for several years, so no one knows why he came to visit today.

He hesitated for a moment, then said to the housekeeper, "Please bring her in."

The housekeeper took the order and left. After a while, Yin Shiniang was led in. She was wearing a plain dress, and the heroic spirit on her face was much less restrained. There was a little haggardness between her eyebrows and eyes, and there was a bit of worry in her eyes.

"Brother Yang, sister-in-law...long time no see." Yin Shiniang bowed to Yang Ling and Yun Hua, with a hint of alienation in her voice.

Yang Ling stood up and returned the greeting, smiling and saying, "Madam Yin probably hasn't eaten yet, so why don't we sit down and have a meal together?"

Yin Shiniang shook her head, "Brother Yang, sister-in-law, I have something to ask of you..."

There was a subtle hint of urgency and urgency in her words. Yang Ling frowned slightly, knowing that the matter was of great importance.

He motioned Yin Shiniang to sit down and told her not to be anxious and to speak slowly.

As Yin Shiniang told the story, Yang Ling and his wife also learned that she came for their son Nezha.

She introduced that Nezha was the child she gave birth to after three years of pregnancy. He was the incarnation of a Hunyuan Pearl held in the palm of Yuanshi Tianzun, the saint of the Chan Sect. As soon as he was born, he was accepted as a disciple by Taiyi Zhenren, the golden immortal of the Chan Sect. He was born with great skills and a treasure bestowed by Taiyi Zhenren. He was causing trouble all day long in Chentang Pass...

Yang Ling was not surprised at all, and said with a smile: "Then you came to me, it must be because Nezha got into trouble, right?"

Yin Shi Niang took a deep breath and said helplessly: "Brother Yang, sister-in-law, you guessed correctly, I did come here for Nezha.

Since Nezha was accepted as a disciple by Taiyi Zhenren, he has relied on his extraordinary abilities to cause a lot of trouble. My husband and I want to teach him to correct his behavior, but he is still young and too impatient, so we really don’t know how to discipline him. ”

Yin Shiniang sighed and continued, "He has been causing trouble all day long, and Li Jing and I have been worried. I didn't expect that he would cause such a huge disaster this time!"

Yang Ling nodded and said without any surprise: "Just tell me, what outrageous thing did Nezha do this time?"

He paused for a moment, a hint of teasing flashed in his eyes, "Could it be that he went to the East China Sea to extract the dragon's tendons?" Yin Shiniang was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly, "So you already knew, Brother Yang... Yes, Nezha did extract the dragon's tendons from the Third Prince of the East China Sea Dragon King this time... Now the East China Sea Dragon King is furious and vows to seek justice. Now the shrimp soldiers and crab generals of the East China Sea Dragon Palace have surrounded Chentang Pass..."

When Yun Hua heard what Yin Shiniang said, she couldn't help but ask curiously, "Madam Yin, Nezha is Taiyi Zhenren's apprentice. Logically speaking, since he has caused such a big disaster, shouldn't Taiyi Zhenren come forward to discipline him?"

Yin Shiniang smiled bitterly and shook her head, with a hint of helplessness in her eyes: "Sister-in-law Yunhua, you are right, it should be like this.

But Taiyi Zhenren doted on Nezha too much. Not only did he not discipline him, but he also turned a blind eye to his misdeeds.

After Nezha returned this time, Taiyi Zhenren not only did not blame him, but instead instigated him to catch the old Dragon King of the East China Sea who had complained to the heavens and beat him up to vent his hatred. "

Yun Hua was stunned and said in disbelief: "How could this... How could Taiyi Zhenren teach his disciples like this? Isn't this instigating Nezha to do bad things?"

Yin Shiniang sighed, and the worry on her face became even more intense: "I thought so too, but Taiyi Zhenren is a golden immortal of the Chan Sect, and his style of doing things has always been unconstrained, and my husband and I cannot interfere.

Now the Dragon King of the East China Sea is furious and is determined to get an explanation. I am worried that this matter will get bigger and bigger, and may even affect the safety of the people in Chentang Pass."

Yang Ling said in a deep voice: "Madam Yin, don't worry. Since you came to me, I will not stand idly by. I will try to resolve this matter."

When Yin Shiniang heard Yang Ling's words, a glimmer of gratitude finally appeared in her eyes: "Thank you, Brother Yang, I really don't know how to thank you."

Yun Hua comforted him softly, "Madam Yin, there is no need to be like this. Nezha is still a child after all, and children always make mistakes. We as parents should guide them onto the right path and not allow them to continue to go astray."

Yin Shiniang nodded, the worry in her eyes eased a little, but she still couldn't hide the anxiety in her heart.

After listening to Yin Shiniang's narration, Yang Ling, without any hesitation, immediately created an avatar to stay at home with little Yang Chan to prevent her from feeling lonely.

As a result, little Yangchan also insisted on going with them, and seeing this, Yunhua also expressed his desire to take his daughter along to take a look.

Yang Ling thought about it and felt that this trip should not be dangerous, so he nodded and agreed.

He sent his clone to Jiang Ziya's residence to give instructions, and then summoned the black dragon Ao Ming. The dragon's body circled, surrounded by clouds and mist. The group rode on the black dragon's back and rushed towards Chentang Pass.

……

Over Chentang Pass, dark clouds rolled in, lightning flashed and thunder roared. Countless shrimp soldiers and crab generals and dragon sons and grandsons showed their mighty figures in the dark clouds, arranging themselves in formation, ready to launch an attack at any time.

The Dragon King of the East China Sea, wearing armor and with his dragon beard fluttering, stood on the clouds, his eyes wide open, looking at Chentang Pass below and roaring: "Li Jing, why don't you come out and see me! You have to pay back your son's debt!"

In the general's mansion of Chentang Pass, Li Jing paced back and forth in the hall, looking worried and extremely anxious.

He knew that the trouble Nezha had caused this time was of great importance. If not handled properly, it might lead to an even greater disaster, and the entire Chentang Pass might have to be buried with this evil son!

Thinking of this, Li Jing couldn't help but frowning and sighing continuously.

At the same time, Li Nezha looked indifferent, with his arms folded across his chest, a stubborn smile on his lips, and sneered: "Dad, the Dragon King of the East China Sea is not trustworthy and dared to send troops to besiege Chentang Pass. I think he is tired of living.

I will catch him, peel off his skin, pull out his tendons, and let him know the consequences of angering me!"

After hearing what his son said, Li Jing felt even more desperate. He knew that if Nezha went to cause trouble for the Dragon King of the East China Sea again, it would probably cause even greater trouble.

Seeing that Nezha was still so frivolous, Li Jing was extremely anxious and shouted: "Nezha, don't do anything reckless! This matter is very serious. If you continue to be so reckless, I'm afraid you will harm the people of Chentang Pass!
Let's wait for your master, Master Taiyi, to arrive, and then we can discuss it."

Hearing this, Nezha curled his lips in dissatisfaction and muttered: "Let's take a long-term view, let's take a long-term view again..."

Li Jing was so angry at his son's words that his face turned blue, but he could do nothing about it.

He knew that Nezha had a bad temper since childhood and was extremely stubborn, and once he made a decision, it would be difficult to change it.

Just as the father and son were in a stalemate, suddenly the weather outside changed and there seemed to be a powerful aura approaching between heaven and earth.

The dark clouds above Chentang Pass were torn apart by an invisible force, revealing a patch of sky light.

Then, a thunderous roar resounded through the sky: "Where is Li Jing?"

When Li Jing heard the voice, he was startled and hurriedly took Nezha out of the general's mansion and looked up at the sky.

I saw a beautiful Taoist woman in a black Taoist robe standing in the clouds, with a stern face and unquestionable majesty in her eyes.

Li Jing was startled when he saw this, and he quickly bowed, saying in a somewhat cautious voice: "Excuse me, your Excellency, are you..."

Na Kundao snorted coldly, his voice as loud as a bell: "I am the Lady Shiji of the White Bone Cave in Skull Mountain. Today I have come to you, Li Jing, to ask you something clearly."

Li Jing's heart moved when he heard this. He remembered that he had seen this Lady Shiji when he was studying Taoism in West Kunlun. At that time, she was discussing Taoism with her master, Master Du'e, and her demeanor was extraordinary.

He quickly bowed more respectfully and asked cautiously, "It turns out that it is the Empress Shiji who has come. Li Jing is honored to meet you. I wonder what advice the Empress has for you?"

A trace of anger flashed in Niangniang Shiji's eyes, and she threw a blood-stained arrow at Li Jing, who caught it in his hand.

The blood on the arrow had not yet dried, emitting a pungent smell, and his name, Li Jing of Chentangguan, was engraved on the arrow shaft.

She asked angrily, "Li Jing, why did you shoot the boy under my seat?"

Li Jing was stunned for a moment and was about to deny it, but then a figure flashed through his mind - Nezha.

His heart tightened, and he quickly turned to look at his son, with a questioning look in his eyes, "Did you do it?"

Nezha shook his head, "It's true that I shot the arrow, but I didn't shoot any boy!"

"Bastard thing!"

Lady Shiji said angrily, "My boy died from this arrow. Who else could it be if not you?"

Nezha stiffened his neck and glared at Shiji, "If I say it's not me, then it's not me. I dare to take responsibility for my actions, but don't try to wrongly accuse me!"

"You'll never repent, right?" Niangniang Shiji sneered and raised her hand to teach Nezha a lesson.

At this moment, a gentle voice came from the clouds: "Fellow Daoist Shiji, please be patient, there may be some misunderstanding on this matter."
