In the main hall of the Li Residence, Yang Jian looked at the table full of wine and dishes. He really found it difficult to eat.
It was not that the wine was not good, nor was it that the dishes were not good. It was just that … a group of burly generals were dancing with swords and sabers in front of the table to liven things up for them.
Li Jing clapped and cheered from time to time. He was very excited. However, Yang Jian had indeed never experienced such a battle. He only hoped that Lady Yin would bring Nezha to meet him soon.
Yang Jian's spiritual senses naturally captured the little child's return.
When he saw that Nezha was still young and had not caused any huge trouble, he felt much more at ease.
When he heard what Nezha and Lady Yin had said, he felt even more complicated.
Nezha's fearless personality was definitely caused by Uncle-Master Taiyi's spoiling!
"Commander Li …"
"Hey!" Li Jing raised his eyebrows. "Didn't I already say that you can just call me Li Jing? What commander? You're really insulting me!"
Yang Jian smiled and said, "Didn't Commander Li also call me Perfected Lord? I treat your son as an equal. If you don't let me call you commander, I can only call you Uncle. "
Li Jing was speechless. He smiled bitterly and said, "Then I'll call you commander. Perfected Lord, can you tell me about my youngest son's previous life? "
Yang Jian hesitated for a moment before a thought popped up in his mind.
Nezha's story was considered a household name in the future. In this story, Li Jing's image was not glorious.
Although Li Jing was standing on the "reasonable" side, he did not do his duty as a father. He reprimanded and cursed Nezha's various actions, causing Nezha to be disappointed. As a result, he cut off his bones and flesh, causing a tragedy.
After Nezha died, Perfected Taiyi first used a technique to let Nezha give Lady Yin a dream. He built a palace on the Green Screen Mountain outside Chentang Pass and consecrated Nezha's spirit. As long as he consecrated it for three years, he would be able to revive.
However, that matter was discovered by Li Jing. Li Jing actually used the reason that "this child is a scourge" to shatter Nezha's golden body and wipe out the palace of Green Screen Mountain, causing Nezha's efforts to fail.
That was the calamity in Nezha's life. It was also the opportunity for him to form a lotus flower treasure body. However, after Nezha became a lotus flower, he hated Li Jing and even chased after Li Jing.
A father and son falling out with each other was not a good thing.
Yang Jian had long wanted to interfere. He didn't dare to resolve Nezha's tribulation so that he wouldn't ruin his opportunity. However, he had to at least make Nezha hate him and not be too sad.
Thinking about that, Yang Jian had already made up his mind. He really had to attack Li Jing.
His eyes shone with divine light as he scrutinized Li Jing. The latter's eyes revealed some confusion as he asked hesitantly, "Perfected Lord, what's wrong?"
"Before I talk about Nezha's past, can you answer a few questions for me, Commander Li?"
"Of course." Li Jing hurriedly nodded and sat upright, waiting for Yang Jian to ask questions.
Yang Jian said, "Nezha's personality is carefree and unruly. He's usually lively and active. It's difficult for him to settle down. He often causes trouble outside the residence. What do you think, Commander Li?"
"Well …" Li Jing smiled bitterly and said, "My son is mischievous and has his mother protecting him. I can't reprimand him and scold him …"
"Is it that you can't beat or scold him, or have you never cared?" Yang Jian's gaze was pressing. Li Jing frowned and lowered his head to avoid Yang Jian's gaze. He pondered for a while.
"Usually, I'm busy. I have to manage the livelihood of the people of Chentang Pass and the defense and military intelligence of Chentang Pass." Li Jing sighed and said, "I've indeed neglected to discipline him. I've embarrassed myself, Perfected Lord."
Yang Jian smiled and picked up his wine glass to take a sip. He said, "Commander Li, you must know that your son was born with powerful Dharma powers, right?"
Li Jing nodded slowly. His expression was a little ugly. "Everyone in Chentang Pass knows about this."
Yang Jian smiled, but his words were like a sharp sword that pierced Li Jing's heart.
"Is Commander Li a little jealous of your son's immortal fate, or does he think that my junior brother has reincarnated and is not considered your son? That's why his familial ties are weak?"
Li Jing's expression changed and turned ugly. The two generals who were dancing in front of the table looked at each other and lowered their heads to retreat.
"Perfected Lord, this is my family's matter …"
"This is your family's matter and also my sect's matter." Yang Jian stood up and strolled around the table with his hands behind his back. He said calmly, "Commander Li, you have also cultivated the Dao before. You should know about the Netherworld and the Six Paths of Reincarnation."
Li Jing turned around and did not look at Yang Jian. His expression was ugly. He only nodded and said, "That's right."
Yang Jian said, "The Six Paths of Reincarnation cannot be messed up.
"The Six Paths of Reincarnation cannot be messed up. The Book of Life and Death of the Mortal Scholar is a Heavenly Dao treasure. It records the life and death of all living beings in the Three Realms. No one can change this matter. No one can decide."
"Perhaps the grudge in your heart is because Nezha did not walk through the Six Paths of Reincarnation and was cast by an immortal to descend into your residence?"
Li Jing pondered for a while and sighed softly.
Yang Jian sneered and said, "Commander Li, you really don't know. His master used great Dharma powers to protect his soul in the Six Paths of Reincarnation. That's why he was born with an immortal root."
Yang Jian did not know that. He was just casually making up stories. He wanted to tell Li Jing that Nezha was his third son. This was destined by the world and also his fate. It's fine if you admit it or not. He has the blood of the Li family in his bones. Before the word 'Nezha', he should have a 'Li' as his surname.
Li Jing closed his eyes and did not say anything. However, his beard trembled slightly.
Li Jing indeed did not like his third son.
In the beginning, Nezha had not been born for three years and six months. When he was born, he only gave birth to a meatball like a demon.
Li Jing was afraid that the demons would cause trouble at Chentang Pass. He used his sword to split open the meatball and Nezha jumped out.
Forget it. After all, it was his flesh and blood.
However, Li Jing did not expect that not long after the child was born, the red-robed Daoist would find his residence. His words were disrespectful and his tone was arrogant. He seemed to be hostile to him.
From the Daoist's words, Li Jing heard that …
"Your youngest son is just my disciple borrowing your wife's belly to reincarnate. There's no need to be smug."
From that day onwards, Li Jing looked at Nezha as if he was looking at an unfilial son that his wife had given birth to. Even though he reluctantly taught him a little due to his wife's request, he did not pay much attention to it.
Doesn't he have a powerful master? Why does he need me, his father, to teach him?
Li Jing had never told anyone else about those thoughts. He had not even mentioned it to his wife.
Today, Yang Jian had poked at Li Jing's thoughts. It was not a coincidence. Yang Jian had pondered for a long time before realizing a possibility.
Uncle-Master Taiyi was too arrogant. Li Jing looked amiable on the surface, but he must be a little strong in his heart.
Nezha had been doted on too much. His nature should still be that of Ling Zhuzi back then …
"Ah." Yang Jian suddenly let out a long sigh. With a serious expression, he looked at Li Jing and bowed.
Although Li Jing was troubled, he hurriedly stood up and returned the greeting when he saw Yang Jian bow. He looked at Perfected Lord Erlang, who was famous in the Primordial World at such a young age, in confusion.
Yang Jian sighed and said, "Commander Li, if you really mind that, I'll say a few words for my junior brother."
"Just say it, Perfected Lord." Li Jing smiled bitterly and said, "Today, Perfected Lord, you came to teach me a lesson. I'll listen."
"It's not a lesson. I just feel that it's not worth it for my junior brother," Yang Jian said. "My junior brother's name is Ling Zhuzi. He was originally a Spirit Stone in the Jade Pool. He was doted on by the Heaven Queen and accompanied him day and night. He gave birth to intelligence and became a disciple of my Uncle-Master, Perfected Taiyi. He cultivated in the Qianyuan Mountain for thousands of years."
Li Jing's expression was a little shocked.
Although Li Jing knew that the disciples of the Saint were existences that could not be provoked, he did not know the specifics.
However, as long as he mentioned the Jade Emperor and the Heaven Queen, who ruled the Three Realms, Li Jing had an idea in his heart. They were the lofty rulers of the world that ordinary people could not compare to.
Yang Jian continued, "This Junior Brother of mine is intelligent and has a high level of comprehension. However, he was congenitally damaged. It was difficult for him to obtain the Dao and cultivate the Golden Body of Daira. He also thought that he had no roots and nothing to rely on. Therefore, he wanted to turn into a human and cultivate again. "
Li Jing frowned and looked at Yang Jian. He did not know why Yang Jian was saying that.
Yang Jian continued, "When he came to the South Continent to look for the family he wanted to reincarnate into, I accompanied him. I was also the one who brought him to Chentang Pass."
"He was on the cloud and saw that your wife was playing with the two young masters in the backyard. He was envious, so he stopped here and watched."
"Zongbing Li brought the two young masters to practice martial arts. Your wife made clothes for the two young masters. The family was happy and enjoyed the joy of family. What a blessing! As for my junior brother, he comprehended the Dao with Spirit Stones. He has never seen such a life. "
"He was tempted. He begged his master and went through many twists and turns. It's also fate that he was born in your residence."
Yang Jian let out a long sigh. "Zongbing Li might think that he is a disciple of an immortal family today and has no familial ties. He really doesn't know that he has never had parents or experienced the love of his parents. It was because of his yearning for Zongbing Li and your wife that he was born here. He called Zongbing Li 'Father' and your wife 'Mother'. "
"In that case, can Zongbing Li really bear to just put him aside without raising him? Father is the heavens, mother is the earth. Can Zongbing Li really bear to let him live in darkness and not see the light of day? Then this junior brother of mine is a bit too pitiful. "
Li Jing's hand trembled. He slowly closed his eyes and stood there for a long time without saying anything.
Yang Jian's timing was just right. After he finished speaking, in just a few breaths of time, a burst of cheerful footsteps came from the back door of the lobby. The childish voice was shouting loudly, "You're so smart!"
The childish voice shouted loudly, "Daddy! Who's here to see me, Daddy!?! "
Li Jing's body trembled slightly. He wanted to answer, but his throat was inexplicably hoarse …
"It's this one. Come over."
Yang Jian looked at the child who ran over. He looked different from when he was wearing a dudou just now. He was dressed in a luxurious brocade robe, and his braid was tied into a small Dao hoop. Two strands of long hair hung down, and he looked adorable.
He ran in front of Li Jing and sized up Yang Jian. He even asked in an old-fashioned tone, "Are you here to look for me?"
Yang Jian chuckled and waved at Nezha. Nezha was a little vigilant and leaned closer to Li Jing.
"Daddy, who is he?"
