Facing Lu Zhi's inquiry, Pleiades Star Officer couldn't help but be speechless. After half a minute, he answered under pressure.

"Reporting to the Emperor, the little god... was ordered to descend to the lower realm to subdue demons."

"Oh? Whose order are you following, and what kind of demon are you going to slay?"

"The little god... The little god, on my mother's orders, went to Xiniuhezhou, the poisonous enemy mountain in the Xiliang Women's Kingdom, to help the masters and apprentices who traveled westward to subdue the scorpion spirit."

Lu Zhi looked at Pleiaris Star Officer expressionlessly: "Really? I remember that your mother, Pleiarium Star Officer, should be the Bodhisattva Pilampo of Lingshan Buddhism, right?"

"Pleiadian Star Officer, you are the god of heaven, but Bodhisattva Pilampo is a member of the Buddhist sect. What authority does she have to give you orders?"

Pleiades Star Official couldn't help but change his face slightly when he heard this: "Emperor, my mother is the biological mother of the little god. How can the little god violate the mother's orders?"

"Besides, His Majesty the Jade Emperor also issued an order that if the pilgrims traveling to the West encounter disaster, the gods in heaven should help them to overcome the disaster and dangers and promote the great cause of traveling to the West. Although the little gods are shallow, they still have a helping hand.

My heart."

"Ha..." Lu Zhi suddenly smiled, "Pleiades Star Officer, I didn't expect that you are also a person who is always eloquent."

Lu Zhi's tone was slightly cold: "The journey to the west is indeed a meritorious deed that benefits the three realms. Gods and Buddhas all over the sky should help each other to achieve this great meritorious event."

"But Officer Pleiades, you left your post without permission without my order, but you can't just say that you want to help!"

When he said the last words, Lu Zhi's eyes already had a hint of coldness.

Pleiades Star Officer still wanted to argue, but Lu Zhi no longer had the intention to continue listening.

He is a heavenly star god, but he obeys the orders of Western Buddhism. How could Lu Zhi let him off lightly!

"That's enough. I don't want to hear your explanation. Officer Pleiades, you left your post without permission and went down to the realm without asking for my instructions. Even if you have a thousand reasons, you are still guilty of dereliction of duty!"

"Now you can follow me and go to heaven to receive the punishment!"

After saying that, Lu Zhi raised his hand and waved, and the Zhenwu Zaodiao Flag swept out in an instant, turning into a huge canopy that covered the sky and the sun. With one roll of the flag, the Pleiades Star Officer was taken in.

He wasn't given a chance to resist.

Raising his hand to take back the Zhenwu Zaodiao flag, Lu Zhi did not return to the Heavenly Palace immediately. He was not in a hurry to deal with the matter of Pleiades Star Officials. He planned to go to Poison Mountain to take a look first to avoid any accidents.

Judging from the actions of the West this time, they are obviously targeting the Scorpion Spirit. Even though Sun Wukong and the others did not go to Lingshan for help, the West still took action. It seemed that they wanted to take this opportunity to deal with the Scorpion Spirit.

And their purpose of doing this is nothing more than to attack Lu Zhi. After all, the scorpion spirit has been subdued by Lu Zhi. If they can kill the scorpion spirit, they will naturally give Lu Zhi a lot of face.

And if the West really succeeds this time, it can be imagined that things like this will never stop in the future, and I am afraid that it will become even more serious.

Lu Zhi's thunderous tactics previously severely damaged the reputation of the West and took away the leadership of this journey to the West from them. How could the West give up?

So this time, relying on the cause and effect of the Scorpion Spirit's offending Tathagata, Western Buddhism naturally made plans and took action.

Therefore, in addition to the Pleiades Star Officials, the West may have prepared other means. Lu Zhi will definitely have to visit this Poisonous Enemy Mountain in person.

No matter what, he couldn't let the West really hurt the Scorpion Spirit!

On the other side, Poison Mountain.

Sun Wukong had rescued Tang Monk, and after thanking Long Ji, he was ready to go on the road again.

However, Scorpion Jing and Long Ji were still in a stalemate, and they looked a bit disgusted with each other.

It was not until Lu Zhi arrived that the stalemate finally resolved.

"Emperor, you are here. Jin'er has been waiting for you here for three hundred years."

Lu Zhi nodded slightly, then turned his head and looked around the field, but was a little surprised that there was no one coming from the west.

But this is good, and it saves a lot of trouble.

Lu Zhi said: "Yunjin (Scorpion Spirit), I once promised you that if you can devote yourself to practice and cultivate the right path, I will give you some positive results. Today is the day when the promise comes true. You can go to heaven with me."

"yes."

at this time.

"Wait a minute, Emperor Zhenwu! This evildoer is the one who was arrested by the Tathagata Buddha's decree. Please wait a moment, Emperor!"

A voice suddenly came from the horizon.

Lu Zhi raised his eyebrows, and then suddenly realized, so it turns out that he was waiting here.

In other words, the reason why these people didn't show up earlier and later, but showed up at this time, was because they were waiting for Lu Zhi to show up.

Lu Zhi turned around and saw a burst of golden Buddha light suddenly glowing high in the sky. The huge Buddha light almost dyed the entire sky golden.

Amidst a burst of vague Sanskrit singing, several Buddhist Vajras appeared from the Buddha's light, and then each stood in position, saluting in the same direction together to welcome him.

"Welcome to the Dharma Lord Ran Deng Buddha!"

In an instant, the Buddha's light between heaven and earth became even brighter. An ancient Buddha, wearing a cassock, a bun on his head, and a skinny figure, sat on the lotus platform and slowly emerged from the Buddha's light.

There was a coffin lamp dyed with faint phosphorus fire above his head. His left hand was placed vertically on his chest to form a seal, and his right hand held a string of jasper rosary beads that he was twisting slowly. There was also a long bronze ruler with horizontal scales engraved on it across his knees.

, it looks like a majestic treasure.

Lu Zhi's pupils shrank slightly: "Randeng..."

I didn’t expect that the person sent by the West this time would be him!

Ran Deng looked up at Lu Zhi, smiled softly at him and said, "Fellow Taoist Lu Zhi, it's been a long time. It's been a thousand years since we said goodbye, right?"

Lu Zhi frowned, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth: "Yes, in the blink of an eye, a thousand years have passed."

"But doesn't the ancient Buddha of Ran Deng usually practice in the monastery in order to regain his spiritual conduct? How come he has free time today and is in this lower realm?"

There was never any friendship between Lu Zhi and Ran Deng. On the contrary, Ran Deng plotted against Lu Zhi many times in the past. In the end, he failed to harm others, but instead harmed himself. All his moral conduct was wiped out, and he did not dare to be born again for a thousand years.

.

Now it seems that he must have recovered his Taoism and practice, and then he couldn't wait to jump out again.

After being stabbed by Lu Zhi, Ran Deng was not annoyed on his face, and still looked kind and compassionate, but only he knew what he was thinking in his heart.

After all, he failed in plotting against Lu Zhi back then, and suffered the consequences. His moral conduct was wiped out by Yuanshi Tianzun, and he almost died. This hatred and hatred will probably never be forgotten.

Ran Deng said: "Fellow Taoist Lu, let me tell you the truth. This time, I came here to arrest this evildoer in accordance with the decree of Tathagata Buddha. I would like to ask Friend Lu to make it easier for me."

Lu Zhi glanced at Ran Deng and said: "It turns out to be the decree of Tathagata Buddha, but Yun Jin has now been taken under my command. I would like to ask the ancient Buddha of Ran Deng to return to Lingshan and inform Tathagata Buddha."

Ran Deng shook his head: "Friend Lu Dao, you don't know. This scorpion spirit is always a monster. Back then, Tathagata Buddha took pity on her difficulty in practicing and specially gave her sermons in the hope of saving her."

"It turns out that this scorpion spirit has a heart of snakes and scorpions. Not only is it not grateful at all, but it offends the Buddha and pricks him with a scorpion tail needle. What qualifications do such ungrateful evildoers have to go to heaven and achieve enlightenment?"

"So I would like to ask Fellow Daoist Lu to hand over this evildoer to me and let me take it back to Lingshan Mountain to give orders to the Buddha."

Lu Zhi couldn't help but squint his eyes. It looked like what happened today might be difficult to resolve.

After all, this time, it was the West that took the initiative. Taking advantage of the karma between Yun Jin and Tathagata Buddha, they wanted to capture Yun Jin.

And more importantly, although Lu Zhi has taken Yun Jin under his command, she has not yet gone to heaven to pay homage to the Jade Emperor. She has not yet received the Jade Emperor's approval for pardon, so she cannot be considered to have entered the heaven.
