"You're saying that you crippled Du Xing Sun's cultivation because of a mortal woman?"
Samantabhadra's rhetorical question echoed in the main hall of the Jade Mirage Palace with a little anger and a little confusion.
Yang Jian sighed in his heart. He knew that there would be such a question. In the face of such a question, Yang Jian could not say that mortals and cultivators were all living beings. After all, this contradicted the doctrine of Chanism.
However, since Yang Jian dared to punish Du Xing Sun like this, he had naturally thought of many ways to deal with it. He calmly revealed Ji Qianhua's identity.
The princess of the Zhou Kingdom, the military supervisor sent by King Wu.
"This matter might be a small matter in the eyes of uncle-master. It's just a mere mortal woman." Yang Jian chuckled, but his expression gradually turned cold. "However, in the eyes of Zhou Jun and King Wu, it's a huge matter!"
"The great calamity of the Dao Sect should be in the South Continent. With the help of our Chanism, King Wu already has the strength and luck to replace Yin Shang. However, King Wu is the current emperor. He has some grudges against these cultivators who helped him to conquer the world. "
"If we were Martial Kings, and faced with these immortals who could easily take our lives, apart from respect, would we feel even the slightest bit of fear?"
Yang Jian's words were slowly filled with pain. Du Xing Sun's terrified and lifeless eyes also revealed a thoughtful expression.
It seemed that Du Xing Sun knew why Yang Jian treated him like this …
Seeing that Manjusri and the others did not speak, Yang Jian continued, "This is what I'm most worried about. If we appear to be desireless, pure and elegant, King Wu will naturally be less afraid. However, Du Xing Sun's Dao heart is cloudy and lust is overflowing. First, he covetously eyed my general Deng Chanyu, then he took advantage of the night to force himself on the military supervisor, Ji Qianhua. "
"It's because I stopped him and prevented Du Xing Sun from succeeding. But what would have happened if I hadn't stopped him?"
Manjusri thought for a while and retorted, "If you didn't stop him, then let Du Xing Sun marry that mortal woman."
"Is that so? Not only are you going to ruin her body, but you're going to ruin her life? "Yang Jian couldn't help but retort. He was also a little angry.
Most of the twelve Golden Immortals were not humans, so they did not care much about humans.
Without waiting for Manjusri to speak, Yang Jian said coldly, "If this happens, regardless of what a mortal like Ji Qianhua can do, what would King Wu think of my Chanism? I'm afraid that the impression we left in King Wu's heart will be overturned in an instant. "
"Ji Qianhua is a mortal, and King Wu is also a mortal. The two of them are brother and sister, and Ji Qianhua's status as an army supervisor is also King Wu's eyes in the army. If I offend the Martial King because of this and make him feel disgusted with the cultivators of Chanism, and Jie School will take advantage of it, what should I do with Chanism? "
Yang Jian snorted. "The God-Conferment Tribulation has been schemed by all parties. However, the destiny that can allow the immortals of Chanism to survive the tribulation is in the hands of a mortal like King Wu!"
"After the separation of immortals and mortals, although the human emperor can't cultivate, the oath of the three sects to protect the human race is still there. The human race is still the main character of the world. How can the influence of the human emperor on the three sects be ignored?"
His generous speech made everyone sigh with emotion. Even Ju Liusun and Tu Xingsun felt that Yang Jian was thinking about Chan School.
Hiroshige smiled and sighed. "No wonder Teacher entrusted the God roll to Disciple-Nephew Yang Jian. Disciple-Nephew Yang Jian is right to think that way."
"Thank you, Uncle-Master." Yang Jian cupped his hands and bowed. Then, he stood up and looked at Ju Liusun. "Apart from that consideration, there is also the military discipline of the army. On the first day I entered the Zhou Army, I made rape and plunder a rule of beheading. I wanted to restrain the soldiers and protect the reputation of Chanism."
"As a disciple of the Dao Sect, Tu Xing Sun did not think about cultivating his character. Instead, he did such a shameless thing. He should have been beheaded in public. However, I thought that this matter should not be made known to the world. Hence, I used the Primordial Chaos Golden Chalice to deprive Tu Xing Sun of his cultivation level in front of Ji Qianhua. "
Yang Jian paused and asked, "Uncle-Master Ju Liusun, is what I did right or wrong?"
"There's nothing wrong," Ju Liusun said calmly. Manjusri and Samantabhadra also put away their anger. Clearly, they did not want to compete with Yang Jian at that moment.
In fact, although the few of them were the seniors of Yang Jian's sect, their authority in Chanism was not just a little weaker than Yang Jian's.
Yang Jian bowed to Ju Liusun and said, "Junior Brother Tu Xing Sun can still recover his cultivation level if he cultivates for another 1,800 years."
Huanglong Daoist snorted. "Isn't this punishment a little too light!"
"It's not light, it's not light." Perfected Taiyi finally spoke. Then, he looked at Yang Jian and asked with a faint smile, "Just like that, you found a hundred women for him?"
Clearly, Chi Jingzi had already told the "anecdotes" in Chaoge City to his fellow disciples.
"Master often taught me that the intersection of Yin and Yang is also one of the Dao laws," Yang Jian said solemnly. "Since Junior Brother Tu Xing Sun has such thoughts and needs, as his senior brother, I have to take care of him. Those gold and silver are just mortal things. There's no need to mention them."
Perfected Taiyi snorted. "Why? Are you afraid that Junior Brother Tu Xing Sun will pay you back for your expenses in the flower house?"
Huanglong Daoist said, "I think that not only did Yang Jian teach Tu Xing Sun a lesson this time, but he also gave Tu Xing Sun an experience and many opportunities. It's not right to let Disciple-Nephew Yang Jian spend money again."
They were echoing each other and were filled with the intention of being sarcastic.
Ju Liusun smiled bitterly. He raised his hand and took out a short sword from his sleeve. He gently handed it to Yang Jian.
The short sword was not a Connate numinous treasure, but it was also a numinous treasure. There was a protective array formation engraved on it. As long as the sword was unsheathed, it could automatically cast a Dharma spell to protect the person holding the sword.
What was rare was that the array formation could operate on its own and did not need to be triggered by external forces.
In short, this sword could also be used by mortals.
Ju Liusun said warmly, "I did not discipline my disciple well and offended the sister of King Wu of Zhou. Please pass this sword to this woman, Disciple-Nephew Yang Jian. It can be considered a token of our appreciation."
His actions and words made Yang Jian have a better impression of Ju Liusun.
Yang Jian thanked Ju Liusun and put away the short sword solemnly.
At that moment, Yang Jian took out the Immortal-binding Rope and returned it with both hands.
If Ju Liusun did not give him the short sword, Yang Jian would have to keep the Immortal-binding Rope for his precious disciple, Little Zixia.
Ju Liusun said that he would definitely keep an eye on the treasure in the future and would not let Tu Xingsun use it to commit crimes. It could be considered as a promise to Yang Jian.
Since he was already there, Hiroshige could not let Yang Jian leave easily. He began to ask Yang Jian what his next step was.
The twelve Golden Immortals were all cultivators and did not care much about these things. However, it could not be said that they did not understand politics.
Their foresight and brains were all there.
Yang Jian explained in detail the plan of the Zhou Nation for the next three years. Accumulating food, stationing troops, opening up the war situation in the north and south, uniting the vassals in the east and south, and preparing to encircle the Shang Dynasty.
Manjusri and the others did not come out to find fault. Yang Jian's words were methodical and did not allow them to refute.
Then, Yang Jian was pulled by Chijing Zi to discuss the Dao. Although he was only sitting below and listening to Hiroshige's lecture, he had benefited greatly.
By the time Yang Jian came out of the Jade Void Palace, an entire day had passed.
Tu Xingsun was brought back to the mountain by Ju Liusun. He said that he would return to the military camp after a year. Yang Jian did not care much.
Judging from all aspects, Tu Xingsun had left a deep shadow on Yang Jian and something. Perhaps he had already become a demon. Yang Jian was not afraid that he would cause trouble in the future.
Apart from Tu Xingsun, Yang Jian had another person to investigate.
Jinzha.
It did not seem to be a coincidence that Tu Xingsun bumped into Ji Qianhua, who was treating the female soldiers and returning to the camp …
After the incident, Jinzha was the first and only person to rush to Ji Qianhua's tent. Then, Jinzha's master, Manjusri, and Ju Liusun rushed to Chaoge City and found him …
Nezha's elder brother seemed to have played a big role.
"Hmph."
Yang Jian's expression turned ugly. He rode a cloud and headed towards Chaoge City. It would not be too late to beat Jinzha up after tricking Jiang Ziya back.
At that moment, it was already late at night.
The stars were as black as the sea, and the night clouds covered the moon.
He traveled as fast as lightning, but the closer he got to Chaoge City, the more empty Yang Jian felt. It was as if something was waiting for him ahead.
The spiritual perception of the mystic body could remind Yang Jian of many dangerous situations in time. However, this time, it was not to remind Yang Jian that there was a dangerous situation ahead. Instead, it was to remind him that something ominous was spreading in the direction of West Qi.
Yang Jian frowned. He looked at Chaoge City, which was a few hundred kilometers away, and entered the city in a flash.
A moment later, Yang Jian stopped in the sky above Chaoge City. He looked at the "huge pit" that should have been the Jiang Residence below with a gloomy expression.
Someone had attacked Jiang Shang and used a great mystical ability to move the Jiang Residence away.
Who?
Yang Jian did not have time to think too much. He turned around and turned into a fire phoenix. He used the Phoenix Feather Flight Technique and left a line of fire in the sky as he shot towards the border of Zhou Nation.
He rushed to the Zhou Army's camp. Everything was normal, as if nothing had happened.
Yang Jian was a little puzzled. He landed on the cloud and sent a voice transmission to his junior brothers to see him. However, only Jinzha, Muzha, Lei Zhenzi, and Deng Chanyu came. Nezha and Huang Tianhua were nowhere to be seen.
"Where are the two of them?"
Yang Jian asked with a sullen expression. The few of them hurriedly lowered their heads and did not dare to answer.
Lei Zhenzi said, "They probably returned to the capital to play again …"
"Hmph!" Yang Jian snorted coldly. He wanted to flare up, but he could not vent his anger on them. Yang Jian asked about the military affairs for the past few days. Everything was normal. The Shang army did not pose any threat at all. The soldiers practiced every day and there was nothing unusual.
Strange, why am I feeling uneasy?
What about the ominous news?
Yang Jian felt troubled. He encouraged them and told them to disperse. Then, he followed Deng Chanyu to see Ji Qianhua.
"How is she?"
Deng Chanyu said, "Prime Minister, Army Supervisor Qianhua is fine. I've been worried if the Prime Minister will be held accountable by the sect."
"I'm fine." Yang Jian walked to Ji Qianhua's tent and took out the short sword. He was about to walk in.
However, Yang Jian suddenly stopped in his tracks. His spiritual senses had scanned thousands of kilometers away and was rushing over — Nezha.
"This is an apology from Master Tu Xing Sun. Give it to her to protect herself," Yang Jian said hurriedly. Then, he jumped up and faced Nezha.
Nezha clearly came from the Zhou Capital. What happened in the capital?
