Chapter 54: The Second Exploring the Heavenly Court
After sending the baby to the National Master's Mansion, Yang Zhen took Kui Mulang all the way to the heavenly court. This time the two of them encountered no accidents and came to the Nantian Gate unimpeded.
"Brother Yang, you will use the transformation technique to become the Jiao Mujiao among the twenty-eight constellations, and follow me to get in. Now among the twenty-eight constellations, only I and Jiao Mujiao are not in the heavenly court. If you become Jiao Mujiao and enter the Nantian Gate with me, they will not be suspicious." Looking at the strict guards of the Nantian Gate, Kui Mulang expressed his thoughts to Yang Zhen.
"No need!" Yang Zhen smiled slightly and said, "I have my own way to get in, so you don't have to worry."
After saying that, Yang Zhen used the "Stealing Technique" to hide his body and disappeared beside Kui Mulang.
Seeing this method, Kui Mulang was obviously surprised because he could no longer feel Yang Zhen's existence, as if there was never anyone around him, and even the smell disappeared. Unlike the invisibility technique, Yang Zhen's "Stealing Technique" disappeared even more thoroughly. Even Kui Mulang, whose cultivation level is still above Yang Zhen, could not feel a trace of breath.
"Brother Yang, are you still here?" Kui Mulang tried to shout to see if Yang Zhen was still here.
"Don't shout, if I leave, can you still fly in the clouds?" Yang Zhen's voice sounded in the void.
When Kui Mulang heard this, he carefully observed the surroundings again, but he still couldn't find any trace. Just as Yang Zhen said, if Kui Mulang hadn't been flying in the clouds, I'm afraid Kui Mulang wouldn't believe it at all, and Yang Zhen was still by his side.
But although Kui Mulang couldn't find Yang Zhen, he was still a little worried: "Brother Yang, although I can't detect your trace, there is a demon mirror outside the South Heaven Gate. Are you not afraid of being discovered by the demon mirror?"
"Don't worry, it's not the first time I've been to Heaven. The last time I came to visit Heaven, you still didn't notice me." Yang Zhen said with a smile.
Kui Mulang was stunned when he heard this, and then sighed: "Brother Yang is indeed not an ordinary person. Even the Heavenly Court can come and go freely. I'm afraid there are few places in the world that you can't go to."
"Let's go!" Yang Zhen said, and then took Kui Mulang to the South Heaven Gate.
Sure enough, just like the last time when Yang Zhen came to the Heavenly Court, no trace of Yang Zhen was found, whether it was the guards of the South Heavenly Gate or the demon mirror. Yang Zhen and Kui Mulang entered the Heavenly Court almost without any effort.
"Brother Yang has an extraordinary origin and is very strong. How could he get along with Sun Houzi?" Thinking of the battle a hundred years ago, Kui Mulang asked about the doubts in his heart.
"Sun Wukong and I met before we attained enlightenment, but later we became accused of different masters and then we separated. That day, I received the news that Sun Wukong had returned from learning art, so I went to Huaguo Mountain to see him. Unexpectedly, I happened to encounter the siege of Huaguo Mountain in Heaven, so there was a battle later." Yang Zhen explained.
Thinking that when Master Subhuti was expelling Sun Wukong from his sect, he once told Sun Wukong not to tell outsiders that he was his master, Yang Zhen told a small lie. This would not expose Sun Wukong's mastery, but also achieve the reason why he appeared in Huaguo Mountain.
"So that's how it is." Kui Mulang nodded and said, "Then Monkey King first disturbed the Peach Banquet and then made a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace. He is so bold. Brother Yang, you regard the Heavenly Court as nothing, come when you want to come, and leave when you want to go. The personalities of the two of you are very similar."
During the chat, Yang Zhen came to the Tushita Palace according to Kui Mulang's instructions. After placing Kui Mulang on the ground, Yang Zhen said, "I'll send you here. Although Taishang Laojun is just a clone, he has an extraordinary identity after all. I dare not see him easily. You should go by yourself."
Kui Mulang also knew Yang Zhen’s difficulties and nodded. After thanking Yang Zhen, he dragged his footsteps into the Tushita Palace.
Yang Zhen was about to leave, but suddenly heard a voice coming from his ears: "Since we are all here, why not come in and take a look?"
"Ta...Tao Shang Laojun?" Yang Zhen asked in a trembling voice.
Although the voice did not speak again, Yang Zhen was sure that the person who sent him a message was definitely the Taishang Laojun, the clone of the Taishang Saint in the Heavenly Court.
Unlike Patriarch Subhuti, Yang Zhen was just a guess about the identity of Patriarch Subhuti, and Yang Zhen was almost sure that this Taishang Laojun was the clone of the Taishang Saint, as if it were fake.
This is a saint, Yang Zhen was a little daring. Who knows what the saint wants to do? If the Taishang Laojun is that, wouldn't he be in danger?
But the saint had already spoken, so naturally he could not tolerate Yang Zhen not going in. He became ruthless, so Yang Zhen still walked into the Tushita Palace and could not run out at worst. Anyway, Taishang Laojun is just a clone and his cultivation is not high. If he just escapes, there should be no problem.
After entering the Tushita Palace, Yang Zhen seemed to have received some guidance. He did not enter the middle alchemy room, but turned left and right, and came to the backyard of the Tushita Palace. He walked to the door of a house before stopping.
Yang Zhen was quite shocked when he knew that this was a saint's magical power. With his own state of mind and cultivation, he would be affected invisibly. This Taishang Laojun is really not comparable to an ordinary monk. Even if he is just a clone, he is definitely not something that Yang Zhen can deal with now.
When Yang Zhen opened the door, the first thing he saw was a figure sitting cross-legged under a huge word "Dao".
It is Taishang Laojun.
Although she was a little curious about why the Supreme Laojun didn't go to see Kui Mulang and was waiting for him here, Yang Zhen also knew that now was not the time to ask questions.
"I have met the Supreme Laojun!" Yang Zhen bowed.
No matter which aspect, Taishang Laojun received Yang Zhen's ritual. In fact, it is not an exaggeration to say that even Yang Zhen performs the ritual of kneeling and worshiping, but Yang Zhen does not want to do that.
"You little cat are bold!" The Supreme Laojun suddenly looked up at Yang Zhen and said in a plain tone.
"Old Jun's words start with the peace?" Yang Zhen didn't know what Taishang Laojun meant, so he could only follow Taishang Laojun and said: "Although I am a member of the demon clan, I did not come to Heaven to do anything bad, but sent Kui Mulang to the Tushita Palace to heal the wounds."
Speaking of this, Yang Zhen directly changed the topic and said: "Laojun, Kui Mulang was seriously injured, please ask Laojun..."
He waved his hand gently and said to Laojun, "I have asked my boy to deal with Kui Mulang. Now I am a little interested in you, the little demon."
What? Sexual interest to me?
Yang Zhen was shocked when he heard this. He was interested in himself as the saint of the Taishang Laojun. So wouldn’t he say that he is a top genius in these three realms, and even the saint couldn’t help but want to get himself when he saw it?
However, Yang Zhen also knew that since the Taishang Laojun said that, it means that his troubles are coming.
But I have already clearly shown that I am a disciple of Patriarch Subhuti. What else can he do? It is not his style to steal the disciple, and there is no reason to kill him. So the only possibility is that the Emperor Taishang wants him to help him do his job.
