When the Yang Jiao brothers and sisters entered the Heavenly Palace, Emperor Gouchen was sitting on the throne, surrounded by three talented marshals, five extreme war gods, and generals of all sizes. , Let the Yang Jiao brothers and sisters feel like a mountain top, and it is difficult to breathe.
"Xiaoxian pays homage to Emperor Gouchen!" Under such a stagnant atmosphere, the three of them did not dare to look at each other and directly bowed down.
The Great Emperor Gouchen had no expression on his face, and he was not angry. A purple thunder pattern was looming between his brows, and his face was full of purple steaming, hazy, mysterious and unpredictable.
"Gu called the three of you here today because of the pardon you requested. The purpose of the amnesty granted by the Emperor of Heaven is to atone for the crime with merit, to encourage relatives of criminals to punish evil and promote good, and to benefit the Three Realms. If you have made great meritorious deeds, and you are willing to offset your crimes with meritorious deeds, you may be pardoned or have your sentence reduced depending on the circumstances of the criminal¡¯s repentance.¡±
"However, the three of you have made great contributions to all beings in the Three Realms. It is too cheap to ask for amnesty with just a word of pure filial piety. There are countless people in the Three Realms who have violated the laws of heaven and have been punished. Asking for pardon as an excuse, how can the heaven manage all living beings?"
When the three of Yang Jiao first came in, they still held expectations, thinking that Emperor Gouchen would change his mind and give his family a chance, but hearing this tone, it didn't seem like it. But Emperor Gouchen's words were upright and reasonable, even from their point of view, he couldn't make a mistake, and it was difficult to refute for a while.
The Great Emperor Gouchen continued: "Furthermore, you keep saying you are filial and cannot bear the suffering of your mother, but just kneeling down and begging is far from showing your filial piety. If today you are pardoned because of your kneeling and begging, in the future when others kneel and beg, you will be alone." Forgiveness or not?"
The Yang Jiao brothers and sisters listened to Gou Chen's tone without the slightest emotion, and their hearts kept sinking. Yang Chan couldn't help crying, with a sad and pitiful face.
The Great Emperor Gouchen suddenly changed his tone: "However, if you insist on rescuing your mother, it's not impossible to be flexible, I'm afraid you won't."
At first hearing that there was a turning point, Yang Jiao seemed to grab a life-saving straw, and hurriedly said: "Please show me the emperor!"
Great Emperor Gouchen said lightly: "Your mother was imprisoned by the rules of heaven. You all tried to rescue her out because you didn't want to be bound by the rules of heaven. That's easy. The rules of heaven only restrain gods and demons. If your mother really doesn't want to be punished, You can choose not to be a fairy."
"Ah? This" Yang Jiao's brother and sister heard the words, their complexions changed, and they said cautiously: "Is the emperor's intention to expel the immortal and divine books?"
"Ha!" The Great Emperor Gouchen let out a light smile, "You guys have a good idea. Even if you are expelled from the immortal status, as long as your cultivation level is above that of the earth immortal, you will still be subject to my management. Gu means that your mother will be expelled from the immortal status." , get rid of the immortal bones, deprive her of her cultivation, completely demote her to a mortal, and cannot become a celestial in her life. In this way, she becomes a mortal, bound by the laws of the mortal world, as long as she does not directly violate the power of God, the heavens will not bother to care about her."
The faces of the Yang Jiao brothers and sisters turned pale, and they were speechless, unable to accept it in their hearts. You must know that Yao Ji spent a lot of effort in cultivating into a golden fairy, and she is already in the realm of immortality. As long as she is not robbed, she will live the same life as the world. If he was demoted to a mortal, wouldn't he soon die of old age? This is not saving her, but hurting her.
Even if you can reincarnate, but if you reincarnate purely with your soul, you will be completely cut off from your previous life. Even if you can restore your memory, you will not be alone after all. Not to mention their brothers and sisters, even Haotian and Yaoji themselves could not agree.
"What? Is it hard to accept?" Emperor Gou Chen had expected it, and said lightly: "Actually, for a crime like Yao Ji, she was only imprisoned, which is considered a lighter punishment, but it is impossible without tens of millions of years." exonerates."
Yang Chan wept: "Is there no room for change?"
The Great Emperor Gouchen said: "The state has its laws, and the sky has its rules. Even sects have their own rules. Once you violate them, how can you indulge them lightly? If your brothers and sisters have made great achievements, you can also redeem them. But you can only speak of filial piety. This morality and law have nothing to do with each other, how can they be confused with each other?"
The three of them fell into the ice cellar for a moment, thinking that there was no hope, they could only watch their mother imprisoned for thousands of years, and they could do nothing. Yang Jian was heartbroken, and shouted: "Please forgive me, Yang Jian is willing to be punished instead of mother!"
"Nonsense!" Emperor Gouchen reprimanded, "You are you, and Yao Ji is Yao Ji. Whose fault should it be? Naturally, who should be punished. How can you accept it privately and take it for someone else?"
After he reprimanded a few words, he changed his tone and said again: "But seeing that the three of you are really sincere, this emperor can give you a chance to redeem your sins."
When the three of Yang Jiao heard this, they immediately bowed down as if they had survived a desperate situation, and said, "Thank you, the emperor, for your kindness beyond the law!"
The Great Emperor Gouchen said: "It is impossible to pardon directly, but alone?? to allow the three of you to pay off your merits. Yang Jiao, Yang Jian, you two brothers can stay under my seat and listen. There are always monsters and ghosts making trouble in the lower world. Offset the millennium penalty. As for Yang Chan, he can do good deeds in the lower realms. A small act of kindness can offset one year of punishment, a small act of kindness can offset ten years, and a large act of kindness can offset a hundred years. What do you think? "
Although the conditions are very harsh, it is not so easy to perform meritorious deeds. Even if there are so many tasks to receive, great deeds are definitely not so easy to achieve, but if you consider the assistance of the masters behind them, it is relatively simple, although The results are not fast, but at least there is a direction to work hard. As long as you are willing to work hard, you can see the results, and it can be reduced by one year.
And this behavior is also in line with the norms of heaven, which is much more reasonable than forcing an amnesty. The purpose of the heaven itself is to punish evil and promote good, to deter lawlessness and to make the world clear, not to punish for the sake of punishment. Punishment of prisoners is only a means, not an end. If the criminals can sincerely repent and are willing to make atonement, it is not impossible to give them a chance.
Now if the three Yang Jiao brothers and sisters are willing to make atonement for their mother instead of their mother, this is within the rules, and others have nothing to say.
However, this kind of situation is rare. Most of the criminals in the heavenly court are extremely vicious and have no relatives or friends at all. Once they break the law, it is too late for others to get rid of the relationship. How can they spend energy to atone for their sins?
"Thank you, Dijun, for your kindness. I am willing to accept it."
Brother Yang Jiao also understood that this was already the best result. If they didn't know what to do, they might offend Emperor Gouchen, and they wouldn't even be given this chance.
"Very well, during this period, you won't get any reward for your meritorious deeds, and all of them will be converted into the number of years to offset your guilt. To what extent you can do it is entirely up to you. The Three Realms are vast, and the Shinto system in the secondary world is also improving now. , There are as many lawless people as a cow's hair, don't be afraid that there will be no chance to make meritorious deeds."
"Yes, the emperor is very kind and virtuous, and the three of my brothers and sisters are deeply grateful, and will go through fire and water in the future to repay the great kindness."
Emperor Gouchen said indifferently: "This emperor is just giving you a chance. How much you can do depends entirely on you. You claim to be filial, are you trying to gain fame? It's easy to accomplish. Well, you all step back!"
Brother and sister Yang Jiao retreated, Xuan Xiao waved away the gods, and went back for a walk in the harem. After a while, Xuannv asked to see her, and when she came in, she looked embarrassed and a little embarrassed.
"You asked to see me, what's the matter?" Xuan Xiao asked indifferently.
"Well, I'm here to apologize." Xuannv lowered her head and whispered.
Xuan Xiao said mockingly: "Don't dare, I'm already very grateful if you don't teach me a lesson, how dare you ask you to apologize?"
Xuannv hurriedly said: "Yesterday was my mistake. I shouldn't let you down in front of everyone. I reflected deeply last night and regretted my impulsive behavior, so I came here to apologize."
"You mean, if I don't stand in front of everyone, you can keep me from stepping down? You still think this is Zifuzhou when I was young, and you can use chicken feathers as arrows to control me instead of my mother?"
Xuan Xiao's tone was not good, his face was sullen, and he turned coldly, his back was facing Xuannv, his gorgeous robe fluctuated with the wind, although he had a cold appearance that strangers should not get close to, but he still showed his graceful and dignified peerless demeanor.
Xuannv looked stunned for a while, and only then did she really realize that the person in front of her was the most noble figure in the Three Realms, and she was no longer the proud young man she used to be. And I always seem to ignore his identity subconsciously, and regard him as a partner who played with him on Zifuzhou back then.
"Uh, so I'm here to plead guilty. Yesterday I was impulsive and didn't consider the consequences clearly. You can punish me. You can do whatever you want. I'm here to plead guilty."
Xuan Xiao listened to her voice, the two were alone at this time, and what happened yesterday happened again, and the knot in her heart was untied. In fact, she was a little grateful to her.
He also recalled the happy days of his childhood. At that time, although my father was not the emperor of heaven, he had already proved Hunyuan, and he was busy planning his great cause every day, while his mother had to manage the huge power, and the ones who stayed with him the longest were Qingniao and Xuannv. In the name of controlling himself, although he is a master and servant, he actually has a bit of a brother-in-law relationship.
At this point, Xuan Xiao's anger gradually dissipated, but she made her lose face, and it was not so easy for her to forgive her immediately, so she still said with a straight face: "You said I don't understand love, so do you understand? Have you become mortal too? Or have you had a love affair with some immortal? Human Emperor Xuanyuan? He has pursued you, and even set up a temple for you to sacrifice, respecting you as the Nine Heavens Xuannv, the god of war in the heavens."
Xuannv froze for a moment, shook her head hastily and said, "No, I don't feel anything about him, don't talk nonsense."
Xuan Xiao wondered: "If you don't have it, you don't have it. Why are you so anxious? Since you don't understand love yourself, how can you have the confidence to teach me? I thought you knew everything!"
As he spoke, he shook his head and left, leaving only one sentence: "You will be fined to face the wall for a thousand years, and you are not allowed to steal or play tricks." (Remember the website website: www.hlnovel.com)??I don¡¯t feel anything at all, so don¡¯t talk nonsense. "
