The Polygonum multiflorum spirit came to the heavenly palace above the nine heavens and on top of the clouds.
There is an immortal official in the Heavenly Palace, who is like a county magistrate in the human world. He is aloof and manages the grievances of the immortals.
"Master Immortal Official, I have grievances. If I have grievances, please ask Master Immortal Official to make the decision for me." Polygonum multiflorum spirit looked miserable and knelt on the ground, as if she had suffered a great injustice.
Sitting on the main seat is a man wearing a red robe. This man is as huge as a statue of a god in a mortal temple. He is high and inviolable.
"Oh, it's you, Polygonum multiflorum spirit. Aren't you about to become an immortal? Why do you come to me to complain?" The immortal official glanced at the Polygonum multiflorum spirit and said in surprise.
But listening to this tone, it seems that I have known Polygonum multiflorum essence for a long time.
Polygonum multiflorum spirit cried: "Please ask the immortal official to make the decision for me. The thief almost cut off my path to becoming an immortal. Look at my beard and roots. Whatever was extra was taken away by the thieves."
..."
"Don't get excited. Please tell the story in detail. If you encounter monsters or ghosts, I will send a letter to the Lei Department, asking the thunder masters of the Lei Department to kill the evil spirits and seek justice for you."
The immortal official said.
The Polygonum multiflorum spirit said: "Your Majesty, the Immortal Official, this time I met neither a demon nor a ghost, but a mortal. The thing is like this..." He said it in detail.
Tell me what happened a few days ago.
Of course, there was a lot of adding fuel and jealousy during this period, portraying Li Xiuyuan as a heinous thief and bully, and describing himself as a pitiful and innocent monster.
"Master Immortal Official, you have to make the decision for me."
After the immortal official stopped listening, he pondered for a moment: "You said the thief who killed you is called Li Xiuyuan?"
"Yes, yes, sir, his name is Li Xiuyuan." Polygonum multiflorum spirit said.
"But that one from Guobei County?" asked the immortal official.
"Yes, yes, that's right. He claims to be Li Xiuyuan of Guobei County. It turns out that the immortal official knows this thief." Polygonum multiflorum spirit said happily.
The Immortal Official's expression immediately changed and he immediately became serious: "Fleeceflower Root Essence, do you know that you have been contaminated by the great cause and effect? If you do not eliminate the cause and effect, there will be a thunder disaster when you become an immortal, and you will be chopped into ashes and wiped out.
"
"What?" Polygonum multiflorum spirit was shocked and said: "Master Xianguan, you have made a mistake in your calculations. The old man is a magical spirit of grass and trees. He is born to be raised by the earth. As long as he does not go out of the mountains and forests and does not cause killing, there will be no natural disasters and he will be able to do it smoothly.
Become an immortal and attain enlightenment smoothly and profitably.”
"This presupposes that you must have merit, but your merit has long since disappeared. Without the protection of merit, you will have to endure calamity. Although you are born with nourishment and are not affected by cause and effect, you still need to go through a human calamity to become an immortal.
, you, Li Xiuyuan, are your human calamity." Immortal Official said.
Polygonum multiflorum jing said hurriedly: "I have been in the mortal world for more than ten years before. I hung a pot to help the world, cured diseases and saved countless people. My merits are immeasurable. I have already had the merits to become an immortal. Why are all the good merits gone?"
"Let me investigate this matter." The immortal official frowned and flipped through the thick book next to him.
Books are neither gold nor jade, nor paper. When you flip through them, you can view the various pasts of immortals, such as the Three Life Stones in the underworld.
After a while.
Suddenly, the Immortal Official raised his head, waved his hand, and a stream of mana flew out of his sleeves, and a scene appeared.
In the scene, halfway up a mountain, a young man was surrounding a copper furnace, burning fire to refine elixirs.
"Do you know this person?" the immortal official asked.
Polygonum multiflorum essence trembled all over.
The immortal official waved his hand again, and the scene changed. Thirty years later, the young man turned into an old woodcutter, still gathering around the copper furnace to make fire and refine elixirs.
"This woodcutter, you have trapped him for thirty years with a lie, and your merits have been damaged, so you have suffered a calamity." said the Immortal Official.
Polygonum multiflorum jing hurriedly said: "Although I have done this thing, my merits should still be there."
"Indeed, although you have been trapped as a mortal for thirty years, you still have a lot of merits, but the remaining merits are not enough for you to successfully become an immortal. Moreover, you said before that Li Xiuyuan asked you for medicine, and you presented three difficult tests.
Him?" the immortal official asked.
"Yes, yes, I want to see his sincerity, but I didn't know that this thief is so hateful. He actually caught him and wanted to chop him into pieces and make medicine." Polygonum multiflorum spirit said angrily.
The immortal official shook his head and said: "It's not important. What's important is that he completed your test, but you didn't give him the medicine. For the first test, you asked Li Xiuyuan to give you 10,000 taels of silver. Li Xiuyuan completed it in half a day.
But you didn’t give him the medicine. For the second test, you asked Li Xiuyuan to hunt twenty hares, and Li Xiuyuan did it in half a day. For the third test, you asked Li Xiuyuan to play chess with you to make you happy.
Li Xiuyuan finished it in one day, but he still didn't give him the medicine."
"Wait a minute, I made a miscalculation. You still have a fourth problem, which is to let Li Xiuyuan beat you at chess. Li Xiuyuan later won, but you still refused to give him medicine."
"Even if it's just four small tests, it won't make me lose all my merits." Polygonum multiflorum spirit argued with a blush.
The immortal official asked: "If someone in the mortal world deceives others, what crime should he be punished for?"
"Cheating others is at best a moral shortcoming and should not be punished," Polygonum multiflorum essence said.
"What if someone deceives not ordinary people but court officials?" the immortal official asked.
Polygonum multiflorum jing said: "This person has committed the crime of bullying an official and will be slapped with a stick."
"What if someone deceived the emperor in the mortal world?" the immortal official asked again.
Polygonum multiflorum spirit replied: "If someone deceives the emperor, it is a crime of deceiving the emperor and will be punished."
"What if someone deceives the sage?" the immortal official asked again.
Polygonum multiflorum essence said: "If someone deceives a sage, although he will not be killed, he will be reviled by the whole world and will never be able to hold his head up as a human being again."
"So which of the three crimes of deceiving officials, deceiving emperors, and deceiving sages is the most serious?" the immortal official said.
Polygonum multiflorum Jing thought for a while; "The crime of deceiving officials is the least serious, deceiving the emperor is the second most serious crime, and deceiving sages is the most serious crime."
"Why? If you cheat an official, you will be slapped with a stick. If you cheat the emperor, you will be killed. If you cheat a sage, you will not be slapped with a stick or executed. On the contrary, the crime is the most serious." The immortal official asked with a smile.
"Those who are slapped by officials will be laughed at for a month at most, and people who are killed by the emperor will be rumored for more than ten years at most. But those who deceive sages will be spurned for a lifetime, which is more uncomfortable than death." Polygonum multiflorum essence said.
The immortal official smiled and said: "Li Xiuyuan is a saint in the world. If you deceived him, shouldn't you suffer this disaster? And you deceived him four times in total. The first time, your merits were gone. The second time, you
You can no longer become an immortal. The third time, you will be in disaster. As for the fourth time, your murderous calamity will come. The reason why you are not dead now is because you saved Li Xiuyuan's father to offset the murderous calamity. You stay.
The medicine stems were planted to offset the disaster, but you still have one more chance."
"If you don't repay this cause and effect, you will never become an immortal."
"This this......"
He Shou Wu Jing was sweating profusely and trembling all over: "Li, how can Li Xiuyuan be a saint in the world? I'm an old man, I can't become an immortal anymore?"
"The matter is already very clear, Polygonum multiflorum essence, what else do you have to say?" the immortal official said.
Polygonum multiflorum spirit hurriedly shouted: "I don't believe it. I have saved the world for more than ten years by hanging the pot, and my merits are immeasurable. Why didn't God bless me? Are the merits fake? Is it just a deception and gone? Besides, what about the thief?
Which kind of saint can compare with the disciples?"
"Whether Li Xiuyuan is a saint or not is not up to us. It is precisely because of your merits that Li Xiuyuan completed your first test in half a day. This is God's reminder to you.
Give him the medicine and he can survive this human calamity smoothly."
The immortal official said: "I don't know how many spirits are envious of such an easy human calamity. For the second test, Li Xiuyuan completed it in half a day. This is because God takes care of you and other wise monsters like you. You are born with
It is raised, not affected by cause and effect, and is much less catastrophic than ordinary goblins, but you wasted these two opportunities."
"If you want to become an immortal, without great merit, you will still have to go through disasters after all. You wasted two opportunities, so the third time you are already entangled in cause and effect. When you become an immortal, you will most likely die from a thunder calamity.
, but you deceived Li Xiuyuan four times, and your retribution could not wait until you became an immortal, so you suffered a murderous disaster at that time."
The immortal official said, and then added: "This is God's will. I will not care about your matter. Your grievances are not grievances, but your disaster. If you still want to become an immortal, go to Li Xiuyuan to settle the cause and effect.
Then continue to accumulate merit."
Polygonum multiflorum essence was stunned in place at this moment, not knowing what to do.
After a long time, he gritted his teeth and stamped his feet, sighed, and then cupped his hands and said: "Thank you, Lord Immortal Official, for reminding me. I already know what I am doing, so I won't disturb Lord Immortal Official."
After saying that, he opened his mouth and spat out, and a stream of medicinal energy condensed into an elixir, which flew towards the Immortal Official.
"You have a cause and effect with the saint in the world, so I will not accept this complaint." The immortal official waved his hand and returned the pill.
