Chapter 169 The Jade Emperor's Backup Plan for the Yang Siblings
"Nezha, what are you planning to do next?"
Nezha put the lotus root slices aside, picked up other lotus root slices and put them back in the bowl before replying:
“My master said that I have a thousand and one tribulations to overcome. If I am to overcome these tribulations, I must either kill someone or be killed. A few years later, he will send me down the mountain to the Shang and Zhou battlefield.”
That's one of those sayings.
All twelve Golden Immortals descended to the arena with their disciples.
Even Yang Jian went there on Yu Ding's orders.
Yang Jiao wondered, since she was neither a member of the Chan Sect nor the Jie Sect, and didn't even have a name in the Western Sect, how could she possibly be included in the Investiture of the Gods?
The cause of action is unjustified.
Her eyes darkened, and she thought to herself:
"No, we need to find a way to snatch a spot among the 365 righteous gods."
Nezha saw through her thoughts and teased her with a smile:
"Still can't find a master? I think you can cultivate on your own without looking for a master."
"It hasn't been that long since we last met, and you're already at the mid-stage of Earth Immortal."
Yang Jiao didn't think she had any special talent; she only improved because she benefited from the Primordial Purple Qi.
When it comes to talent, there are two sitting at this table.
Yang Jian completed his apprenticeship in three years, and Sun Wukong in seven years.
No, it was my own fault that allowed Yang Jian to start cultivating ahead of time. Without the support of immense hatred, Erlang's cultivation progress might not have been as fast as in the original story.
He was able to ascend to heaven in just three years of cultivation because his father died, and he and his mother died.
Driven by hatred in his heart.
She absolutely couldn't die, otherwise, she couldn't even imagine how heartbroken her brother would be.
Just as she was thinking this, the spirit of the river god suddenly appeared. Not only could she only look but not eat, she also had to do hard labor to deliver messages!
Just now, he was trying hard to smell the aroma of the hot pot inside the statue, his mouth watering. He was about to ask Yang Jiao to offer him a bowl when a decree suddenly descended from heaven.
When did the little river god receive the Jade Emperor's decree?
I was immediately filled with fear. When I took the light spot down and looked at it, I was completely dumbfounded.
The imperial edict actually stated:
[Order the River God to immediately inform Yang Jiao to come to the bridge on the riverbank, but do not make a sound.]
Unsigned and concise.
It didn't seem like a normal imperial decree process, but the feeling emanating from the light was so oppressive that the river god couldn't muster any dissatisfaction and even felt a little weak in the knees.
He dared not delay and immediately flew quietly to Yang Jiao's side, repeating the words in a voice that was not loud enough.
Yang Jiao listened intently for a long time, but couldn't make out a single word. She frowned.
"River God, did your vocal cords fall into the temple?"
The river god kept silent about the instruction to "not make a sound" written on the document.
Finally, Yang Jiao became anxious.
What exactly are you trying to say?
The river god opened his mouth, his lips round then flat:
"Go under the bridge."
Yang Jiao:
"Want some shrimp dumplings?"
River God: ...
He wants to eat it, but he doesn't have the physical form!
Finally, after much arguing, the river god led Yang Jiao to the temple, where he gathered his strength and spoke in a booming voice:
"Go to the bridge over there!"
Yang Jiao rubbed her ears. Why can't they just talk things out properly?
She gave the river god a reproachful look, then went to the other side of the bridge without any precautions.
Upon arriving, she saw a figure in a white robe with his back to her under the bridge. She blinked, then exclaimed joyfully:
"Amazing Uncle!"
Why are you here?
He ran over in two steps at a time.
The Jade Emperor turned around, taking in her current appearance. His eyes were gentle, and he reached out to touch her head, ready to strike.
"You've grown taller again."
Yang Jiao nodded:
"Yes, a day in heaven is a year on earth. Next time we meet, I'll be an adult."
next time……
The Jade Emperor had no idea where their next meeting would take place.
He stretched out one hand, opened it, and placed a longevity lock in his palm. He didn't know what material it was made of, but it looked very precious.
Then the immortal uncle said:
"I heard you have a new little sister. Here's a little gift for her."
This longevity lock was crafted by the Antarctic Immortal to ensure good fortune and safety. Although it does not possess great magical power, its symbolism is excellent.
He couldn't send anything related to himself, for fear of arousing suspicion from his sister Yaoji, so he could only send something simple.
Yang Jiao took it and played with it for a moment, then thanked her with a sweet smile:
"Thank you so much, Immortal Uncle. You're too kind. It's not easy being in a heavenly position. You should save up some money for yourself."
Upon hearing this instruction, the Jade Emperor raised an eyebrow and agreed:
"Okay, I'll save up more money in the future, and then the younger generation can have some fun with it."
Yang Jiao became interested and asked, puzzled:
"Aren't immortals forbidden from marrying and having children? You have younger generations in your family, so they must have been born to you and a mortal before you became an immortal, right?"
"Yes! It was born of a mortal!"
"Uncle, why are you clenching your teeth so tightly?"
"It's nothing, I just felt happy to see you."
After the Jade Emperor finished speaking, he paused for a moment and then turned his gaze to the small figure in front of the River God Temple.
Yang Jian.
Despite being only four years old, his eyes were resolute.
Even he had to admit that, despite Yang Tianyou being an ordinary person, all the children he had with his sister were adorable.
"Immortal Uncle, did you descend to earth today just to congratulate me?"
Yang Jiao thought to herself, "I'm so popular. I even get gifts when my family has a new baby."
The Jade Emperor smiled but remained silent.
With a touch of his fingertip to Yang Jiao's brow, a warm current suddenly flowed through her.
She looked at the action with confusion, and before she could ask a question, she heard the old man explain:
"This is the aura of divine blessings; a little bit will enhance your fortune."
But she breathed a sigh of relief.
This divine aura was created out of my own selfish desire to leave this position vacant for Yang Jiao, so that she might have people to help her in the Three Realms in the future.
Yang Jiao was happy.
Luck!
Isn't luck what she wants most?
With more luck, you can get better character fragments when drawing cards.
Although this fairy uncle was just a minor deity guarding the garden, Yang Jiao was deeply moved by his kindness.
These sentiments far surpassed those of the three-thousand-year-old peach from the heavens, and she said gratefully:
"Uncle Immortal, why are you so kind? It's Jiao'er's good fortune to know you."
The Jade Emperor was flattered and smiled broadly. He turned his back so that Yang Jiao wouldn't see the smugness in his eyes, thinking to himself, "Little rascal, you've been bought off with just a little favor."
He waved her away and said:
"Go back and eat, I have to go back to Heaven to take care of some things."
He doesn't have much personal time, so this is all squeezed out of his schedule.
Yang Jiao nodded a few times, waved to the immortal uncle, and ran away in a flash.
After she left.
Two mythical beasts resembling greyhounds emerged from the bridge arch; they were none other than the celestial dogs that devoured the sun.
They were a male and a female, kneeling before the Jade Emperor.
The Jade Emperor stood with his hands behind his back, his demeanor no longer as gentle as when he was talking to Yang Jiao. Although he was standing on the ground, he exuded a divine aura that made the Heavenly Dog dare not look him in the eye.
He pointed to the figure of the young child in front of the river god temple and gave the order:
"From now on, you must not reveal your identities and stay by that child's side."
"Heavenly Dog, obey my command."
They obeyed and kowtowed, but when they looked up again, the figure was gone, not even a trace of its presence remained.
……
Yaochi (Jade Pool).
The Queen Mother summoned two heavenly servants, her face stern and her voice solemn as she gave them instructions:
"Go and investigate the reason for Yao Ji's disappearance immediately."
"The Jade Emperor has been frequently away from home lately, so please be careful."
