Chapter three hundred and seventy-ninth beheading the gods
The clouds and mist are shrouded, and the palaces are endless.
This is the location of the Immortal Palace above the Nine Heavens. It is high up in the sky and overlooks the Kyushu. It is the place that all the ghosts and gods in the world yearn for.
Once you enter the Immortal Palace, you will achieve transcendence. You will be untainted by cause and effect, untainted by heavenly calamities, and you will have endless freedom.
Although this place is above the Nine Heavens, it is a realm of its own. Although it is in the mortal world, it is transcendent from the mortal world.
No one knows how many gods, demons, and human beings live in this fairy palace.
However, today, in the peaceful Immortal Palace, something was happening in a palace.
A man wearing a red official robe and an official hat was kneeling on the ground with a pale face, with a look of fear and humility. This man was someone else, Lu Pan, who had escaped before.
I really didn’t expect that Lu Pan would really escape into the Immortal Palace.
And in the upper position of the palace, a god who was as high as an emperor sat on it, looking down at Lu Bian, with no expression on his face, calm and cold, just like the high clay sculpture in the temple, cold and ruthless
.
"Report to the Lord God, the little god has already tried the method of restraining Li Xiuyuan from killing immortals. Now Li Xiuyuan is chasing Xiaosheng outside, and he asked the Lord God to protect him." Lu Pan was lying on the ground, trembling all over.
Facing the divine king in front of him, he was even more frightened than Li Xiuyuan's immortal-killing sword.
The voice of the almighty God Lord was like a loud bell, and the sound of the Dharma spread everywhere: "Lu Pan, this God Lord asked you to find a way to restrain the method of killing immortals, but I did not ask you to provoke Li Xiuyuan. You led him into the Immortal Palace. For this crime, you can
Can you afford it?"
Lu Pan was startled and said hurriedly: "I hope to use restraint to make up for my mistakes."
"Come on." Shenjun said coldly.
At this time, Pan Lu took out a small piece of human skin from his sleeve: "The little god wore this human skin and blocked the immortal-killing sword of the human saint, and it didn't go smoothly at all."
The superior divine king immediately reached out and waved his hand, and the human skin flew in front of him. When he looked with both eyes, he saw that the soul of a person in the human skin was struggling in pain, wailing and crying.
Lu Pan said hurriedly: "Xiaosheng skinned a person to take out his soul, and cast a spell to seal the person's soul in human skin. Ghosts and gods only need to put on this human skin to be unafraid of Li Xiuyuan's immortal-killing sword. Before, Xiaosheng had
It has been discovered that Li Xiuyuan's method of killing immortals cannot kill living people, but can only kill ghosts and spirits, so I boldly gave it a try, and the little god luckily survived, and finally confirmed that this human skin method has the effect of restraining the sword of killing immortals."
"Human skin method? Although it is not very useful, it can still be used cleverly. You have indeed made a contribution." Shenjun said calmly.
"Thank you, Lord God." Lu Pan was overjoyed.
If he didn't have a backer in the Celestial Palace, how could he dare to fight against Li Xiuyuan, a saint on earth, alone? Not to mention that Li Xiuyuan had already begun to become powerful, his wings were growing, and he had more and more ghosts and gods under his command. He was no longer the unlearned person before.
Human saints who have mastered the method of killing immortals can be compared.
"Go down, if you will achieve meritorious service in the future with this method, I will allow you to be the next Yama." This aloof god said.
Judge Lu was even more excited when he heard this.
What he dreams about day and night is to become Yama in the underworld. After all, he has been a judge all his life and always wants to become a regular judge.
But while he was excited and happy, Lu Pan was heartbroken. He had thrown away the Book of Life and Death and the Judge's Pen in order to stay alive, just to delay time.
Now that time has been delayed, he escaped into the Immortal Palace safe and sound, but he also lost the most important thing as Yama. Without these two things, even Yama in the underworld would not be able to exercise the rights of Yama.
But at this moment.
In front of the gate of the fairy palace.
Li Xiuyuan's soul walked on the clouds, surrounded by dragons and phoenixes, and filled with purple energy. Miracles appeared everywhere, and everything around him was extraordinary.
Before he even got close, the god general responsible for guarding the Immortal Palace was suddenly startled.
The two divine generals immediately came forward and bowed respectfully to the human saint: "It turns out that the human saint has arrived. The little god has seen the human saint."
"Meet the saint on earth."
The two divine generals were obviously no strangers to Li Xiuyuan, and they could identify Li Xiuyuan's identity at a glance.
But that's right, as a divine general guarding the Immortal Gate of the Immortal Palace, if he didn't have this in his eyes, I don't know how many people he would offend, so I didn't think it was strange to recognize Li Xiuyuan at a glance.
"The two god generals are polite. I just chased an evil god and flew into the air. However, I hesitated for a moment and let the evil god fly away. I was about to leave, but I saw the fairy palace here. I thought this evil god was passing by nearby.
Hiding from the surroundings should be impossible to hide from the eyes of the two god generals. Can you please open your eyes and scan the surroundings to help me find the traces of the evil god?"
Li Xiuyuan gave a salute, which was also thorough and polite.
The two divine generals guarding the Immortal Sect looked at each other immediately, feeling anxious in their hearts. Could it be that they would say that Judge Lu just entered the Immortal Palace under their noses?
"The saint on earth opened his mouth, how could the little god not help? Besides, he was slaying the evil god in the world. This was a just move. Naturally, the two little gods would help with all their strength. They also asked the saint on earth to wait a moment. The little god...
Just patrol the area around the Heavenly Palace to look for traces of the evil god." A god general said with his hands in hand.
"Thank you both." Li Xiuyuan replied.
The two divine generals immediately signaled to each other, then nodded. As soon as their eyes opened, bursts of divine light suddenly appeared. Then they swept their eyes, and the divine light swept through the nearby sky and clouds, illuminating everything around them.
Close your eyes.
Their eyes can be used to see the mortal world from heaven, they can see ghosts and spirits among the tombs, and they can see every move in the houses of mortals.
Only a virtuous and kind house has prosperous luck and continuous good fortune. It is covered with green smoke, covering the eyes of the gods, and the mansions of princes and generals are shrouded in a royal aura and an official aura. Even ghosts and gods cannot easily
of investigation.
The two gods pretended to be solemn and careful, scanning the surroundings of the Immortal Palace. Finally, they closed their eyes and the divine light disappeared.
"What's wrong?" Li Xiuyuan asked hurriedly.
The two god generals shook their heads and said: "The little god has limited abilities and is really powerless to find traces of the evil god for the saints in the world. I think the evil god knows how to avoid our eyes and ears and has found a way to hide. Maybe he is hiding.
I am in some great benevolent home, and I have taken advantage of the blessings of the great benevolent home to avoid my body and hide my traces, so I ask the saints in the world to forgive me."
"So that means Mr. Lu is no longer nearby?" Li Xiuyuan asked.
"I dare not deceive the saints in the world. The evil god is indeed no longer around here." A god general next to him shook his head and said: "But please rest assured, saints in the world. I will definitely pay attention to everything nearby in the next few days. Once there is news, I will
Immediately descend to earth and tell the saints on earth that the evil god will not be allowed to escape."
"The little god has some friendship with several thunder masters from the Thunder Department. If the saint in the world feels uneasy, the little god can ask some thunder masters to look for it."
The two divine generals were so polite, humble and respectful that no one could find any fault with them.
However, the more this happened, the more Li Xiuyuan's face darkened.
Before, he was not sure that Lu Pan escaped into the Immortal Palace, but now he is sure.
This Lu Pan is in the Immortal Palace.
Why?
Because these two divine generals said it themselves, there is no trace of Lu Pian around here.
And if Lu Pan wants to escape at this time, where can he escape?
How could it be hidden from the eyes and ears of these two divine generals?
The only possibility is to escape into the Immortal Palace, and enter the Immortal Palace in front of these two god generals. If not, how could the injured Lu Pian forcefully break into the Immortal Palace?
Li Xiuyuan's expression condensed and he said: "It is indeed not easy for two divine generals to be responsible for guarding the Immortal Sect. This is not a good position. If you do the wrong thing, it is easy to offend others. If you do the right thing, it is easy to offend others. From what you just said
I can conclude that the evil god Lu Pan has entered the Immortal Palace, and the two god generals personally let him go."
When the two god generals heard this, their expressions immediately changed.
The two of them had managed to hide it perfectly, how could this human saint see the flaw?
"The words of the saints on earth are serious. The two little gods will never let the evil gods enter the fairy palace. I ask the saints on earth to be careful."
"Yes, the two little gods have been stationed here for many days, and no one has entered or left the fairy palace within an hour today. How dare you deceive a saint in the world about such things?"
The two god generals sang in harmony and firmly refused to admit that Lu Pan had been let into the immortal palace.
"I understand your difficulties, but please don't try to fool me as a fool. Since I have already guessed that Lu Pan is in the Immortal Palace, there is no need for the two generals to be so quibbling. You can just admit it.
"What I'm looking for this time is Judge Lu, not you two." Li Xiuyuan said.
The two gods looked confused and didn't know how to answer.
Li Xiuyuan saw their expressions of embarrassment and immediately said, "Does it mean that Judge Lu has a certain god backing him in the Immortal Palace, and you don't dare to offend him?"
The two divine generals still remained silent, as if they felt that they had said too much and made many mistakes.
To say too much is to deceive the saints in the world.
If you say anything less, you will be derelict in your duties and will be prosecuted.
"Forget it, forget it if you don't tell me. I'll go into the Immortal Palace and look for it myself, so I won't spare the trouble of the two generals." Li Xiuyuan said, and as he said that, he strode towards the Immortal Palace.
"Sages in the world, please stay." The two divine generals were shocked when they saw this, and hurriedly stopped in front of Li Xiuyuan.
Li Xiuyuan said: "Why are you stopping me?"
A divine general said: "There is a difference between immortals and mortals. Only immortals are allowed to enter the Immortal Palace. Mortals are not allowed to enter. The saints on earth have not yet become immortals and saints. How dare a little god let a saint on earth enter the immortal palace."
"I see, but can we make an exception?" Li Xiuyuan said.
The two god generals shook their heads and said: "Please don't let the saints in this world make things difficult for the two little gods."
It seems that these two god generals are determined to protect that Lu Pan.
From this, it is not difficult to infer that Lu Pan’s backer in the Heavenly Palace is extraordinary and extremely important. Otherwise, these two divine generals would not lie so hard to stop Li Xiuyuan.
Blocked outside the Immortal Palace.
But the more this happened, the more Li Xiuyuan became certain that this Lu Pan was definitely in the Immortal Palace.
This is a typical thief with a guilty conscience.
It turns out that gods, like humans, also do things that make people feel guilty.
"It seems that this Immortal Palace is indeed not as beautiful as imagined, and there is also filth here." Li Xiuyuan thought to himself; "But the more this is the case, the more I want to enter the Immortal Palace to find out what's going on.
How much filth is hidden here."
After saying that, he became determined and continued to walk forward; "What if I must enter the Immortal Palace today?"
The two gods were shocked and said seriously: "If the human saint really wants to force his way in, the little god can only stop him with his life. This is the responsibility of the little god. Please don't fight with the little god."
God is in trouble."
"Really?" Li Xiuyuan's eyes moved slightly and he couldn't help but stop.
"If you say this, I won't be able to force my way in. You are doing your duty to protect the immortal gate. If I rush in indiscriminately and kill you, this is indeed not what a normal person should do. Maybe today
Judge Lu really shouldn’t die." Li Xiuyuan sighed and said, then he cupped his hands and was about to turn around and leave.
At this time, the two divine generals breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, they knew the character of Li Xiuyuan and knew that he was a reasonable person with a clear distinction between grudges and grudges.
If not, how could they dare to face such a stubbornness from this human saint?
However, just when Li Xiuyuan was about to leave, he suddenly turned around and pointed at a crane in the Immortal Palace and said: "By the way, you said before that only gods are allowed to enter and exit the Immortal Palace, and mortals are not allowed to enter.
Why did a crane spirit fly into the fairy palace? Spirits are not immortals, so they cannot enter the fairy palace, right?"
The two god generals looked at the cranes flying in the fairy palace, and their expressions suddenly changed.
The so-called difference between immortals and mortals is indeed a rule, but there are also rules for who is divided. For those who are not allowed to enter the immortal palace, there is naturally a distinction between immortals and mortals. For those who can enter the immortal palace, let alone mortals, they are ghosts.
, wronged souls can also enter.
"This, this" the two gods stammered, not knowing how to respond.
Li Xiuyuan nodded: "You don't need to tell me to understand. The so-called rules of the Immortal Palace are all up to you. If you don't want me to enter the Immortal Palace, just use the rules to suppress me. This is the same as the yamen in the mortal world. Although everyone
Anyone can beat drums to complain about grievances, but they must first go through the yamen service and get permission from the yamen servants. If people don’t understand anything and just go to beat drums to complain about grievances, they will definitely be beaten by the yamen servants.”
As he spoke, he raised his immortal-killing sword with murderous intent on his face.
The god will be shocked; "This, this is a misunderstanding. The human saint and the little god have no enmity with you, and they have not done any evil. How can you let the human saint sacrifice the sword to kill the immortal?"
How could they, gatekeepers like them, never see a human saint using a sword to kill ghosts and gods?
That power really makes ghosts and gods feel terrified.
"I reason with you, but you talk to me about rules. I talk to you about rules, and you talk to me about good and evil. Well, I will talk to you about good and evil again. You allow Lu Pan to escape and protect Lu Pan to enter the fairy palace.
This is evil." Li Xiuyuan said coldly.
"In other words, even if the two minor gods are wrong, the Heavenly Palace has rules for punishing the minor gods. Please don't be impulsive as a saint on earth. You only need to report this matter to the god, and the minor gods will be punished." These two gods will be punished.
Jiang panicked and said again.
Li Xiuyuan said; "Look, I talk to you about good and evil, and you talk to me about power. In short, no matter what, you are not willing to talk to me on an equal footing. You are gods, and I am a born saint. In terms of status,
Still above you, you deceive and fool me like this, do you really think that the big knife in my hand is not sharp enough?"
After saying that, he no longer hesitated and swung the immortal-killing sword forward lightly.
In an instant, the sword flashed.
The god general in front of him wanted to say something before he stood there with a stunned look on his face, and a huge head rolled down from his neck.
Then the body suddenly exploded and turned into a ball of rich incense.
"Ah~!" The remaining god general next to him exclaimed, his liver and gallbladder splitting with fear.
Li Xiuyuan continued to walk forward with a cold face; "I know it's not easy for you to guard the immortal gate, but I can't tolerate your fooling around like this. If you let other ghosts and gods go this time, I won't be so cruel, I will only pretend
You are a fool, but it is a pity that the one you let go is Lu Pan. This person wants to cut off my human path, and if you help him, you are an enemy of my human path. You cannot afford this karma."
"How can we not punish those who are enemies of the Tao? Confucius even punished Shaozhengmao, let alone ghosts and gods like you."
Confucius killed Shao Zhengmao because of his different ideas. Even the sages Confucius did it, how could Li Xiuyuan not do it?
If he wants to realize his ideals and ambitions of co-governance by humans and gods, he must repel any ghosts and gods that stand in his way, let alone ghosts and gods like Lu Pian who are a huge threat.
These two divine generals had no choice but to help Lu Pan.
