Chapter 423 Su Daji’s Nightmare
Chapter 423 Su Daji’s Nightmare
Mingyue Tongzi closed his eyes in fear, feeling that the sword would chop him off in the next instant, cutting his head and body in half.
“Bang~”
There was the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground, and some water splashed on my face.
He opened his eyes and found Yang San holding a wooden barrel and throwing it in front of him.
He looked away, not understanding why.
Yang San smiled and said, “Don’t you still need to water the ginseng fruit tree? I won’t make it difficult for you. Just take me to Wuzhuang Temple. It is said that there are many bones buried under the ginseng fruit tree. One ginseng fruit represents the lives of tens of thousands of people. Let me see if the rumor is true. If it is true, everyone in Wuzhuang Temple will be killed. If the rumor is false, I promise not to hurt you at all.”
Mingyue Tongzi felt extremely fortunate and stood up with tears of gratitude, then flew towards Wuzhuang Temple carrying the wooden barrel.
~~~
Heaven, Qiming Hall.
Beads of cold sweat appeared on Taibai Star Lord’s forehead.
He didn’t even have time to drink the cup of Pan Tao Xian Lu tea that he loved so much.
He had just seen Yang Jian off and had a boy make a pot of Fairy Peach Tea, and was preparing to enjoy it.
The Peach Fairy Dew Tea was given by the Queen Mother of the West at the last Peach Banquet. It ripens once every three thousand years, but he has never been willing to drink it.
Or was it just to celebrate the bad luck that Zhen Yuanzi was about to suffer that he took it out happily?
Who would have thought that Yang Jian would come back right after he left.
It also brought about a problem that gave Taibai Star Lord an extremely headache.
“The Peach Garden is in deficit. The Queen Mother will hold a Peach Banquet soon and needs three thousand ripe peaches. But the Peach Garden can’t provide that many peaches right now. I have to scrape together two thousand peaches, and I still need one thousand. If I’m short of one, we’ll be discovered. Xingjun, you usually have the most ideas. Think about how to deal with it.”
“That’s impossible. When many immortals were upset about the True Lord’s friendship with the Western Sect guys, they only took about a hundred peaches and shared them. The Peach Garden always has 5,000 ripe peaches in stock, so how could there be a shortage?”
Taibai Star Lord Li Changgeng said angrily.
“Don’t you know how you lost money? The stability of the Heavenly Court requires all kinds of help. I have never missed a single benefit from you. When I asked you to arrange for your training to become the mountain god of Huashan, I did not miss your share. Why are you pretending to be confused with me now?”
(Yang Jian) said this while fiddling with the jade talisman in his hand, looking somewhat uneasy.
Li Changgeng thought that it was caused by the deficit in the Peach Garden, and thought: “Why not go to the Taoist friends to borrow some peaches to make up for the deficit first.”
(Yang Jian) sneered, “It’s easier said than done. Those guys usually enjoy the benefits and are very attentive. If they knew that something went wrong in the Peach Garden, they would probably tell the Queen Mother about my faults and try to push me out of this position. No, absolutely not!”
Li Changgeng thought to himself that you had tricked us into giving less than half of the five thousand peaches away. I wonder how much you had greedily taken in the past. Are you afraid now?
If he didn’t know the root of this matter, he would have wanted to go to the Emperor of Heaven to complain. After all, since he managed the Heavenly Law, the immortals in the Heavenly Court have been suffering. If it weren’t for the peaches to shut up the immortals~~~
Li Changgeng thought: “This matter is of great importance. It is better to discuss it with the gods and immortals that we can trust.”
(Yang Jian) had a stern face and shook his head resolutely: “No, absolutely not, this matter is between you and me, let’s discuss a solution and then ask the other Taoist friends to cooperate.”
Li Changgeng frowned and stared at the sky above the Qiming Palace with empty eyes, only wishing that the Emperor of Heaven would come to summon him so that he could escape from Yang Jian’s predicament.
He had clearly aroused Yang Jian’s disgust for Wuzhuang Temple and even said that he would go see it in person, but now he was using the problem of Pantao Garden to embarrass him.
What solution could he offer? The heavens had pity on him. He did not eat all the peaches. He only ate ten at most. He asked cautiously, “Does the Heavenly Emperor know about the matter of filling the deficit?”
Emptying the Peach Garden was originally the order from the Emperor of Heaven. Since Heaven took over the management of the ancient world, the Queen Mother has won over many people with the Peach Banquet. As the lord of Heaven, the Emperor of Heaven naturally felt a little uncomfortable, so he secretly asked (Yang Jian) to join forces with Taibai Star Lord to set a trap for the Queen Mother’s next Peach Banquet.
(Yang Jian) shook his head and sighed, “Of course, when the time came, the Emperor of Heaven changed his mind and said that we shouldn’t embarrass the Queen Mother so much. They are a couple, and they can make up after a little quarrel. We, the errand boys, have a lot to consider. Now we want to make up for the shortfall. Do we have to turn the peaches back from the dung of the immortals?”
“There is no manure in heaven~”
Li Changgeng reminded carefully.
(Yang Jian) glanced at Li Changgeng and said, “Of course I know that. I just used mundane things as a metaphor. Instead of arguing with me about words and sentences, you should think about how to deal with the deficit in Pantao Garden.”
(Yang Jian) fiddled with the jade talisman, the worry in his eyes suddenly faded for a moment, and then disappeared without a trace.
Li Changgeng thought about it for a while, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he held up two fingers: “There are two ways now.”
“Tell me and listen~”
“Do you still remember that monkey?”
“Bima Wen?”
“That monkey is no longer Bimawen. According to the arrangement of the True Lord, I have sent people to belittle his official position in his ears. Now he is raising the flag in the lower world and calling himself the Great Sage Equaling Heaven.”
The Great Sage Equaling Heaven? What an arrogant tone! A mere Taiyi Celestial Being dares to call himself the Great Sage Equaling Heaven.
(Yang Jian) began to think.
She was the transformed Su Daji. She knew that the monkey was related to Yang Jian’s arrangement, but she did not know Yang Jian’s specific purpose. Yang Jian was very secretive about it, and even she was unwilling to explain in detail.
She suddenly understood and said hurriedly, “Originally, it was planned to let this monkey fall in love with a fairy, and then I would brutally suppress it and let it make a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace. Now it seems that if I let it look after the Peach Garden, the monkey will be naughty by nature and will definitely do evil in the Peach Garden. Even if it doesn’t do anything, it doesn’t matter. I can’t get rid of the blame if it is taken care of~”
“Your Excellency’s opinion is excellent.”
Li Changgeng flattered.
Su Daji had another idea in her mind. If the Pantao Garden could be done, then the Tushita Palace could naturally be done as well. Then she would take this opportunity to settle the account with the Tushita Palace.
Since she took the throne of God for Yang Jian, she has naturally used many means to gain benefits for herself, which is why she is so happy to do so.
“Then the second one you mentioned is~”
Li Changgeng said hurriedly, “What I just talked about with the True Lord was the matter of the Wuzhuang Temple. There are quite a few fruits on the ginseng fruit tree, about a thousand. If the Wuzhuang Temple is uprooted, the True Lord can use his 72 transformations to turn the ginseng fruits on the tree into peaches. No one should be able to see it, and the effects are almost the same, so it can be foolproof. I was originally curious about why the True Lord said he wanted to go and see the ginseng fruit tree in the Wuzhuang Temple, but turned back. It turns out it was for the matter of the Peach Garden.”
When Su Daji heard this, her heart was filled with shock and she felt dizzy, as if it was all a nightmare.
She had not discussed Wuzhuang Temple with Taibai Xingjun before, which meant that the real Yang Jian had just been there.
The thought that Yang Jian was going to Wuzhuang Temple might lead to him meeting someone he shouldn’t meet, which might lead to him discovering some things. If she was implicated, it would be truly irreparable.
