Chapter 326: Confronting Ling Xiao Three days, just three days later, something happened that spread throughout almost the entire Three Realms. From the three-rank great gods in heaven to the various lineages in the human world, plus the earth immortals of the Dongsheng Shenzhou in between. Let me put it this way, even if it is a dog, as long as it has some cultivation, it will know this. There are two main reasons for such a fast spread. First, there are people fanning the flames from behind, even spreading it at all costs. Second, the event itself is very eye-catching. "The Buddhist Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva and the Heavenly King Li Tianwang's Things That Must Be Said" Although the title is a bit of a trick, it is not wrong to say so. The incident started with a piece of news announced from the Heavenly Palace's Hall of Justice. The new chief of the Deacon Department of the Hall of Justice, a fourth-rank wizard of the Black Law Department, a fourth-rank celestial official of the Heavenly Court, the only direct descendant of the Emperor of Fengdu, the representative of the younger generation of the North Pole, the golden immortal, Jiang Lin Jiang Xuanying. On his first day in office, he violated the laws of heaven and set up a court privately, carried out punishment privately, and beheaded a suspect without going through the procedures of the Criminal Law Department of the Palace of Justice and the Supervisory Department, without filing the case on file, and without conducting a thorough investigation and trial.

Afterwards, a direct message was sent to Fengdu, and four six-hole demons came out of the Heavenly Prison and headed straight for the Yellow Springs Road. They intercepted the suspect's soul from the messenger of the underworld and brought it directly into the Heavenly Prison. But on the way, the soul was swallowed by one of the six-hole demons, leaving nothing behind. What happened to the Six-Hole Demon later was not something that ordinary people could find out, and the immortals and gods would not know how jealous the Six-Hole Demon, who seemed to have violated the ban, was looked at by his own kind after he returned. Damn it, breaking the rules for the mage and taking the blame for the master, is that breaking the rules? Is that taking the blame? In short, this matter is because Jiang Xuanying disrespected the law and violated the rules. He has been imprisoned in the imperial prison of the Palace of Justice and is said to have been tortured. Originally, this matter was somewhat eye-catching, but not enough to cause a sensation. But what if Jiang Xuanying beheaded Li Jing’s illegitimate son? The suspect, that is, the specific identity of Chi Zha, was spreading in the three realms at a speed beyond common sense. The youngest son of Tota-Bearing Heavenly King Li was raised in the human world since childhood. They just met recently, but he did evil things in the human world that are intolerable by the laws of heaven. Even if he was detained in the Palace of Justice, it would only be a matter of dying sooner or later. After learning the details of what happened, many immortals, gods and practitioners in the three realms also understood the behavior of Master Jiang. Don't forget, before becoming a deacon of the Hall of Justice, Master Jiang was first a Black Law Justice Master and a direct descendant of Beiji Ziwei. And Chi Zha actually wanted to overthrow the innate imperial power of the Great Zhou Emperor... This behavior itself is a huge slap in the face of the Arctic system. "In fact, if that's the case, it's no wonder that Master Jiang doesn't respect the laws of heaven." "Yes, this is almost equivalent to the ancestor of the Dharma lineage being humiliated. The master is humiliated and the servant dies. Even ordinary cultivators like us would be furious if we encountered such a thing, not to mention that Master Jiang is a direct descendant of the North Pole and a fourth-rank Heavenly Court of the Black Law Division." "I can understand it, but Master Jiang is still a little too impulsive. Bringing Chi Zha back to the Judicial Hall is just a matter of waiting a little longer. Moreover, with judicial notarization, it is more reasonable and legal." "Master Jiang's handling of the matter is a bit inferior." "You don't know?" "Know what? Is there something else going on?"

"Do you know why Master Jiang disregarded the rules and took action directly?" "Please enlighten me, fellow Taoist!" "It is said, just said, that it was not because Master Jiang wanted to break the rules, but because Master Jiang could not take Chi Zha away. If he had not acted decisively and killed him on the spot, I am afraid Chi Zha would have gotten away with it." "Oh? What do you mean? Who has the guts to obstruct the Justice Hall from handling a case?" "It is said that Li Tianwang asked the person in the South Sea to take action... He even received Ling Xiao's oral instructions..." "You also know that the second son of Li Tianwang's family is in the South China Sea..." “Is that so?!!” Conversations similar to the above are taking place everywhere in the three realms. So, for a while, the news that Li Tianwang and Guanyin Bodhisattva had a private deal and challenged the authority of the judiciary was spread everywhere, fortunately, Deacon Jiang acted decisively and would rather break the law himself than not to uphold the majesty of the judiciary and beheaded Chi Zha on the spot. The storm of public opinion is not only useful in the human world. The principle that three people make a tiger is applicable everywhere. What's more, this is the fact, but it's just too shocking. Although the immortals and gods in the Three Realms who can see a certain level all know that this kind of private transfer may not happen all the time, but there will definitely be a few cases every once in a while. However, this is the first time that something has been exposed so unscrupulously, involving two parties of higher status than the other. This is a storm of public opinion that has swept across the three realms. And Jiang Lin should have been in the eye of the storm, but... Palace of Justice, Imperial Prison. "My Lord, please try this. These are the six thousand year old peaches from the Peach Garden. Even if you are a third rank great god, you cannot easily get to taste such a precious thing." Tan Qing was showing great courtesy to Jiang Lin inside the prison through the prison door. He was holding a huge plate in his hand, and on the plate was a peach that was almost as big as a human head, and was temptingly red. Jiang Lin didn't hesitate to take it and started chewing it until juice flowed out. "Hey, Lao Tan, why are you sending me food in different ways these days?" While eating, Jiang Lin looked at Tan Qingzheng and said vaguely: "Is this the last meal before execution? Could it be that the last meal of the Justice Hall is divided into several days?" "Your Excellency is such a joke, who wants to kill you?" Tan Qing knew that Jiang Lin was joking with him and felt a little excited. He had already figured out the temper of his young boss. Although he looked cold, he was actually very friendly and polite. Now Lord Si Zheng's attitude truly shows that he regards himself as one of his own. "As you know, the outside world has been in turmoil these past few days. What you did back then, along with the inside story, has spread throughout the three realms." Tan Qingzheng looked around and whispered, "Normally, such private transactions would be kept secret by the Venerable and would not be easily known by a third party."

"But this time, it's probably our Lord Palace Master who made the effort." "Although what you did was a bit reckless, it accidentally hit the mark of the Palace Master. By adding fuel to the fire, you became the trigger that the Palace Master wanted." Upon hearing this, Jiang Lin raised his head from the peaches and glanced at Tan Qingzheng with a smile. Tan Qing was stunned for a moment. Do you think I'm a reckless person? The authentic Tanqing has such a meaning. But if it wasn't an accident... "My Lord, you and the Palace Master..." Tan Qing was about to say something, but he saw Jiang Lin raise his hand and take the wine jug filled with liquor from his hand. Seeing this, Tan Qingzheng tactfully did not ask any more questions. This is not a coincidence, but a counter-attack! The Palace Master had already made plans with the Chief Justice! Why would the Chief Justice, who was so decisive in killing, take the knife off Chi Zha's neck several times? No wonder, no wonder the Palace Master has been ordering me to bring him all kinds of rare treasures so frequently in the past few days. It turned out that this was a tacit understanding between Lord Si Zheng and Lord Palace Master. The peaches, nectar and dates these days were all compensation given by Lord Palace Master. At that time, it was not only Mu Zha who was delaying time, but Lord Si Zheng was also waiting! Wait until Ling Xiao's oral order is about to arrive. That's when Lord Si Zheng will really take action! The purpose is to make things bigger! If he wants to be a fuse, Jiang Lin is very experienced. "Sir, how many more days do you plan to stay in the imperial prison?" Tan Qingzheng looked back. Behind him was a long corridor, and Jiang Lin’s cell was located in the deepest part of the Imperial Prison of the Palace of Justice. Deluxe single room. The last time the Hall of Justice used this cell was to detain a third-rank god. "There is food and drink here, as well as rare treasures that I can't enjoy on weekdays. I plan to stay here for a while." Jiang Lin finished eating a whole peach, burped in a very ungraceful manner with a colorful burp, turned around lazily, walked to the bed, turned over and lay down. "Old Tan, if you have nothing else to do, go back to the Deacon's Office. During this period of time, you will be fully responsible for the affairs of the Deacon's Office." "Yes." Tan Qingzheng nodded helplessly. Who could have thought that his immediate boss would be imprisoned in his own cell on the first day in office? He is not Jiang Lin. The establishment of the Deacon's Office is due to the existence of Jiang Lin, the judicial deacon. It can be said that the entire Deacon's Office is serving the judicial power in Jiang Lin's hands. Now that Jiang Lin is in a bad state, there is not much the entire Deacon's Office can do. "By the way, sir, if anyone comes to visit you in the next few days?" Tan Qingzheng thought of something and turned around to ask. "It's up to you."

Jiang Lin waved his hand irresponsibly. Of course, he didn't want to give up here, but was waiting for Yang Jian's signal. Tan Qingzheng’s guess just now was correct. The reason why Jiang Lin did that was because of Yang Jian’s instructions. Yang Jian, who possesses the crown of the Emperor of Heaven, can do so many things. It is not a big problem for him to send a message to Jiang Lin without anyone knowing and hide it from Guanyin Bodhisattva. Yes, Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva is also among the top among those with great supernatural powers, but in front of the crown of the Emperor of Heaven, it is really not enough. The signal that Jiang Lin is waiting for now is actually very simple. When Yang Jian stops sending things into the cell, that will be the time for Jiang Lin to get out. Jiang Lin sincerely hoped that this time would be a little longer. After all, what Yang Jian had given him in the past few days were all good things that he could not even see on weekdays. Even in heaven, it is considered a rare treasure. Time passed slowly, and soon another three days had passed. During these three days, Tan Qingzheng came on time every day to deliver rare treasures and report on the affairs of the Deacon's Office in the past few days. until the fourth day. "grown ups." Tan Qingzheng came empty-handed and looked a little anxious. Jiang Lin glanced at him, stood up, and kicked open the cell door which was not locked and had no restrictions. "Talking as we walk." "Yes." Tan Qingzheng followed Jiang Lin's steps and walked out of the imperial prison. On the way, Tan Qingzheng began to report. "Li Tianwang has handed over a accusation that you do not respect the law, execute people privately, and tarnish the dignity of the law." "hehe." Jiang Lin sneered in response, and then asked, "It's not just Lao Li himself, right?" "Your Majesty, it's clear." Tan Qingzheng nodded, his expression becoming more solemn, and said: "Guanyin Bodhisattva, with the Five Elders of the Five Directions as evidence, also wrote a letter to impeach you." Hearing this, Jiang Lin narrowed his eyes. The Five Elders of the Five Directions, each of them is a third-rank official in the Heavenly Court. Among them, Guanyin is one of them, and his name in the heavenly court is: Guanyin of the South and Antarctic. In addition to these, there is also a Buddhist elder in the Western Extreme, who is naturally the Tathagata Buddha of Lingshan today. This Heavenly Court was the evil taste of the Great Heavenly Venerable. He knew very well that Tathagata Buddha would not easily obey the orders of the Heavenly Court, but he still set up such a Heavenly Court. It is more to disgust Buddhism, and of course, also to have a legitimate reason when necessary. For example, as a god in heaven, he did not respect the will of heaven, so he sent troops to attack...

The Great Celestial Venerable did not expect that one day, the Tathagata of the West or the Avalokitesvara of the South would appear in the Heavenly Palace as the Heavenly Officials. But now, Guanyin Bodhisattva, in the name of the Southern Antarctic Guanyin, has provided a partner for Yang Jian, the young prince of heaven. "What did Guanyin Bodhisattva say?" "My Lord, the general document of Guanyin Bodhisattva is almost the same as that of Li Tianwang. They both impeach you for not respecting the judiciary, executing people without authorization, and dispatching demons to devour their souls, which is a serious violation of the law." "And the reason why Guanyin Bodhisattva impeached you is that Chi Zha is her destined Buddha, and should be her last disciple." "But now, you have killed him without any reason." Jiang Lin suddenly stopped when he heard that, and Tan Qingzheng also stopped. Then they heard what the adult was thinking. "Old Tan, what kind of benefits did Li Jing promise to Guanyin Bodhisattva to make this Bodhisattva run around for him like this, even going against the trend at this moment when public opinion in the three realms is raging?" "She doesn't want to be shameless?" This is what Jiang Lin is most confused about. How did Li Jing impress Guanyin Bodhisattva? This is not to say that having Mu Zha’s connection is enough. Mu Zha is just one of Guanyin Bodhisattva’s closer disciples, not Guanyin Bodhisattva’s biological father. "It can't be true as Guanyin Bodhisattva said, that Chi Zha is his destined last disciple." Tan Qing was speaking jokingly. But soon, he couldn't laugh anymore. After exchanging a glance with Jiang Lin, the two of them quickened their pace at the same time. Although this reason of Guanyin Bodhisattva is ridiculous, but combined with Guanyin Bodhisattva's behavior at this moment, it seems that maybe... This is really the case! Jiang Lin was a little bit smug. The identity of a closed disciple was extremely important in a lineage. Putting Jiang Lin in his shoes, let's put himself in his shoes. If someone killed Jiang Lin completely, how big a fuss would the old man make? My Lord Palace Master, My Lord Young Prince, My future brother-in-law, are we playing a little too big? Jiang Lin was also a little confused now, and rushed to Lingxiao Palace without stopping. No, it still doesn't make sense. If he was really the last disciple destined by Guanyin Bodhisattva, it would be impossible for Guanyin Bodhisattva to only send Mu Zha to stop himself, and he must have considered the possibility that he would kill Chi Zha directly. It would not be excessive for a closed disciple to make a personal trip. With such doubts in his mind, Jiang Lin walked to the door of Lingxiao Palace with Tan Qingzheng. "If you come, please stop and let me know your name." Wang Lingguan was guarding the gate of Lingxiao Palace with a stern look on his face, as if he didn't recognize Jiang Lin at all. Jiang Lin also raised his hand to salute, and said solemnly: "I am the guilty minister, Jiang Xuanying, the Chief of the Judicial Hall, and I come here in compliance with Ling Xiao's decree." "enter." Wang Lingguan glanced at Jiang Lin and gestured to Jiang Lin to walk into Lingxiao Palace. When Jiang Lin passed by Wang Lingguan, a thunderous voice suddenly rang in his ears.

"There is something fishy going on. Don't say anything more. The platform will be here soon." Jiang Lin walked into Lingxiao Palace without stopping, as if he didn't hear anything. At this moment, there are already quite a few people in Lingxiao Palace. On both sides, on one side is Taibai Star Lord, and on the other side are four Taoists wearing different Taoist robes. You don't need to look to know that these four are the Four Heavenly Masters of Heaven. And Nezha, who was standing behind Taibai Jinxing, with his arms folded and a sneer on his face. In addition to these six, there is a seven-treasure throne next to the Nine Heavens Throne on the cloud platform. Yang Jian sits on it with the crown of the Emperor of Heaven on his head. His expression cannot be seen clearly due to the clouds and mist. As for the main hall in the center of the Lingxiao Palace, there are Li Jing and Guanyin Bodhisattva. Tan Qingzheng stopped in his tracks. With his Tiancao rank, being able to enter Lingxiao Palace was already a blessing, and it was impossible for him to go any further. Jiang Lin walked closer, raised his hand to salute, and was about to speak when he was interrupted by Yang Jian. "No gift." Yang Jian waved his hand, the mist in front of him dissipated, and his eyes fell on Jiang Lin. "Jiang Xuanying, Li Tianwang and Nanji Zun have accused you of disrespecting the law, arbitrarily carrying out private punishment, and killing their closed disciples. Do you have anything to say?" Jiang Lin remained silent and said nothing. He is a very obedient person. Since the teacher told him not to talk too much, he didn't say a word. Li Jing looked gloomy. He took a step forward and looked straight at Jiang Lin. Just as he was about to speak, he was interrupted by a graceful voice. "I come here uninvited, please don't blame me, young lord." As he was speaking, rays of starlight suddenly burst out from above the Lingxiao Palace. In an instant, the entire Lingxiao Palace became three times brighter. Yang Jian stood up and straightened his clothes. I saw the starlight slowly gathered into a series of steps, and a female fairy slowly walked down from the bottom of the steps. Intentionally or unintentionally, he stood in front of Jiang Lin, looked around, and finally headed towards the empty nine-platform throne. "Dou Mu Yuan Jun, pay homage to the Emperor of Heaven."
