Chapter 704 Heavenly Punishment
"When the news reached me, it said that 'the big peaches in the Peach Garden have almost been picked', but..."

Yumen Zhenren pointed at the yellow paper in the hands of the Divine Mace Guardian and said, "Look for yourself."

Shen Jian Taibao suppressed the thoughts boiling like popcorn in his heart, lowered his head and quickly read the contents on the yellow paper carefully. The shock on his face turned into confusion and puzzlement.

"If Fairy Yu Feng really stole all the peaches, why did the Jade Emperor only let the fairies look for her other faults instead of punishing her for the crime of stealing peaches?" he asked.

There were a lot of words written on the yellow paper, recording the speeches of the Jade Emperor and several important officials of the Heavenly Court in the Lingxiao Palace.

Of course, the immortals had a lot to say.

This yellow paper is just a talisman paper used for emergency communications. It is not a recorder and it is impossible to write down all the conversations.

The speeches of the immortals recorded on the yellow paper simply summarized their attitudes and suggestions.

Just looking at the Jade Emperor's attitude, there is only one: Fairy Yu Feng stole the peaches, and the Queen Mother came to me and asked me to punish her. I summoned all the immortals to discuss this matter.

This attitude, not to mention being harsh, is even a bit perfunctory.

It seemed as if he would not bother to pay attention to Yu Fengxian unless the Queen Mother looked for him.

In fact, it was clearly written on the yellow paper that it was the Queen Mother who first consulted the Jade Emperor, and the Jade Emperor reluctantly convened this "closed-door meeting" (a small court meeting attended by only a small number of immortal officials).

The speeches of other immortals only found fault with Yu Fengxian in other ways.

For example, a star god reported to the Jade Emperor that Yu Fengxian, as an "immortal", had used her magic to poison tens of thousands of mortals, causing them to be slaughtered like chickens and pigs by the Qin army.

This is a serious violation of the laws of heaven and should be punished by lightning!
For example, the God of Destiny reported to the Jade Emperor that Yu Fengxian helped Meng Yi defeat the Huns, which shook the established destiny that "the northern border of China would be corrupted for decades, hundreds of cities would be lost, and tens of millions would be killed and injured", and asked the Jade Emperor to make a judgment.

There were also immortal officials who had close ties with West Kunlun, who reported to the Jade Emperor that the Fairy Yu Feng had sneaked into the Yao Chi Fairy Garden and destroyed several immortal herbs, and that according to the law she should be whipped dozens of times.

There were even immortal officials who said that during the time when Yu Fengxian was the "Grand Master" of Shu, she forcibly changed the title of "Grand Master" to "Prime Minister". Although she had no rebellious intentions, she was too arrogant, her morals were corrupt, and her influence was too bad, so she should be punished with at least a serious offense.

But no immortal official mentioned the incident of the peaches being lost from the Peach Garden.

Yumen Zhenren pondered and said, "The matter of Yu Fengxian stealing the peaches was not discussed in detail at the small court meeting in the Heavenly Palace.

The news coming from other places is varied and contains all kinds of stories.

It is said that Yu Fengxian stole at least eight hundred peaches.

Some said several hundred kilograms were stolen.

There is also a story that the immortals went to the Peach Garden and saw that the peach trees were empty and all the peaches had been picked. The Peach Banquet next year would be affected, and it was the work of the Immortal Yu Fengxian.

I guess that Fairy Yu Feng must have stolen the peaches, but she wouldn't have picked all the peaches in the Peach Garden.

It is very likely that she stole the peaches directly from the Peach Garden.

The Queen Mother and the Jade Emperor wanted to find fault with her, but they didn't find any. At least not enough to be discussed openly.

If there was a legitimate reason to punish Yu Fengxian, why would the Jade Emperor let the immortals discuss her faults?"

Upon hearing this, the Divine Mace Guardian became even more confused. "Besides the Peach Garden, are there other places with peaches? Even if there are peaches, they are still the Queen Mother's peaches!"

Yumen Zhenren said strangely, "There is another piece of news that should have been very sensational, but now it is overshadowed by Yu Fengxian's theft of peaches - the Great Qin Western Region Protector Dongfang Shuo was imprisoned in the 'Cuishui Pavilion' in Yaochi Fairyland for stealing the peaches from the Queen Mother."

The divine mace master exclaimed, "Was Yu Fengxian taken by Dongfang Shuo to steal peaches?"

Yumen Zhenren shook his head and said with a complicated expression: "You underestimate Yu Fengxian too much. After several years, her ability to cause trouble may not be less than Dongfang Shuo.

Her conflict with the Ten Evils of the West last year is still causing a stir in Xiniu Hezhou, and the turmoil has not subsided.

She first stole the peaches from the Queen Mother, then changed her name to "Fairy Feiyu", and ran to Yanmen Pass to become a "Kunlun Qigong practitioner". She not only captured "Qinghong Fairy" Zhang Yuan, but also beheaded the Xiongnu King Zuoguli.

If she hadn't killed Xiu Ge and gone against fate, no one would have known that Fairy Feiyu was her, Fairy Yu Fengxian."

The divine mace master said disapprovingly: "He is just the Xiongnu Zuoguli King, not a prince of the Qin Dynasty. Just kill him. How can it be considered as defying fate?
Since she was a 'guest official' at Yanmen Pass, it was natural for anyone to kill anyone on the battlefield, and no one could be blamed for being killed."

Yumen Zhenren said: "If she really killed a certain Qin prince, it would not have come to the Jade Emperor.

The Qin Dynasty has run out of luck. Can the Qin prince still have a good ending?
They all ended in tragic deaths!

Death at the hands of Yu Fengxian could even be considered 'following heaven's will'.

But at this time, the Huns in the north were like the rising sun.

Its luck flourished and it became increasingly powerful, until it reached its peak several decades later.

It is said that when the Xiongnu was at its peak, they were suppressing Shenzhou. Can you imagine that?"

The divine mace protector had an unpleasant expression on his face and shook his head repeatedly, "I can't imagine it. I can't stand it."

"This is my fate. I can't stand it, so I'll just hide in the mountains and practice in seclusion. After a few hundred years of seclusion, the world will eventually belong to my Shenzhou China."

Yumen Zhenren sighed and continued, "Just now, Zuoguli King Xiu Ge, who should have become the pillar of the Xiongnu State and even had the hope of competing for the position of Great Khan, died directly before the Sun reached its zenith. Isn't this against destiny?"

The divine mace master still disagreed and said, "Even if Yu Fengxian is not considered the 'Qin general' of Yanmen Pass, he is still an 'immortal minister'. It is destiny that he can kill Xiu Ge on the battlefield!
I have never heard of anyone being killed in a fair fight on the battlefield, as it is against destiny.

If destiny was really on the Xiongnu and Xiu Ge's side, why didn't Xiu Ge kill Yu Fengxian, or did Xiu Ge get help from heaven and turn disaster into fortune? "

Yumen Zhenren said: "This is the weird thing about Yu Fengxian. Do you think Xiu Ge was killed by her because his luck ran out?
Xuge was completely depleted of his luck by her. She killed someone who shouldn't have died."

He then recounted in detail how the "Flying Feather Fairy" chased the copper-headed and iron-foreheaded ghost to the underworld and even caused a big disturbance in the City of the Dead.

The Divine Mace Guardian is only a spiritual official, not a Taoist priest.

Before summoning the spiritual official, Yumen Zhenren had already discussed the matter of Yu Fengxian with other Zhenren in the Taoist Palace.

The inside information he knew went far beyond what was recorded on the yellow paper.

The yellow paper was passed down by the ancestor who was the Heavenly Master in Heaven.

As for the contents not related to the small court meeting in Lingxiao Palace, Dedao Palace should go and find out for themselves.

The old master only passed on the internal information of the Heavenly Palace that they could not get to know.

Once you have the inside information and have determined the direction, it will be much easier to find out the news.

"Yu Fengxian can kill the Demon Star, this is also destiny!" Divine Mace Taibao still doesn't think that she has gone against destiny.

“You mean, the Emperor of Heaven and all the ancestors and immortal officials are all wrong?” Yumen Zhenren said indifferently.

This is the gap between spiritual officials and real people.

Xiaoyu's killing of Xiu Ge was really against fate.

Without Da Mie Ba, it would be difficult for her to break the "Two Hundred Little Demon Stars Formation".

If the Demon Star Formation is not broken, Xiu Ge will stumble and flee northward, and sooner or later he will encounter most of the Huns.

At that time, no matter how unwilling Xiaoyu was, he had to return empty-handed.

In fact, as long as Xiu Ge could survive that night, the powerful Huns and the big monsters from the north would rush to rescue him.

The "gold-breaking and jade-cutting sword energy" that specifically kills "evil ghosts on earth" was deduced on the spot by Zifu.

Fresh out of the oven, outside of the "old" days.

The ability that shouldn't have appeared in her was suddenly brought out by the bug of Zifu.

This was beyond the normal number of days. Even "God" (the agent of heaven's will) didn't expect this, so the Xiongnu strongmen and the demon clan leaders naturally didn't react.

They didn't know that Xiaoyu had a "big dad", but they could predict it.

If you can’t figure out Yu Fengxian, how can you figure out Xiu Ge who is already dead and whose fate is certain?
Xiu Ge’s life star can be seen directly in the night sky.

According to their calculations, Xiu Ge was not destined to die, but died nonetheless.

Just like the death of a star, there are signs and processes.

Xiu Ge was the young sun, but it was suddenly blown out by a gust of "cold wind".

Yumen Zhenren could calculate these things through stargazing and divination.

The spiritual officer only has muscles and fists, and does not know the destiny.

"What should we do now?" The Divine Mace Guardian glared and said, "It's not possible that the Jade Emperor would kill Yu Fengxian just because she killed the Xiongnu King, right?"

"Of course not. If she really wanted to be killed, why would the ancestor pass down the message and let us... ahem, you know." Yumen Zhenren gave him a meaningful look.

"I don't quite understand. Please give us your instructions, sir." said the Divine Mace Guardian.

Yumen Zhenren raised his eyebrows and said tactfully: "Including the Jade Emperor, all the immortals in heaven, I mean the immortals of the human race, are from Shenzhou China.

The Jade Emperor and the star gods in heaven are merely "acting on behalf of God's will."

Even the "God's will" they say may not be their own will.

They will not go against God's will, and they will definitely protect God's will.

Seeing that King Zuo Guli was beaten to death by Fairy Yu Feng, the Emperor of Heaven and the fairies would of course be angry.

But what they were angry about was the will of heaven that they were protecting, and the fact that it was being disobeyed and distorted.

They would be glad to see Hugh die!"

The Divine Mace Guard frowned and said, "The Immortal said this to a certain Spirit Officer. Could it be that he has other intentions, and wants me to find Yu Fengxian, and then--"

Yumen Zhenren's expression changed slightly, and he waved his hands repeatedly, "Don't talk nonsense! I didn't ask you to go find Yu Fengxian. I was worried that she would come to you secretly."

The divine mace Taibao said with a wooden face: "I understand. I have a personal relationship with Yu Fengxian. Yu Fengxian has nothing to do with Taiyi Dao."

Yumen Zhenren said in a tangled way: "It is still somewhat related. We cannot be ungrateful. Yu Fengxian helped the people of Dao Palace, and Zhengyang Palace has always remembered it!"

The divine mace master said helplessly: "Master, you let me take the blame, I can't resist, I can only accept it.

But you have to make it clear, what exactly do you want me to do?"

"What do you mean by taking the blame? Don't say such harsh words! I just want to chat with you today to talk about what happened in Chatting and Yaochi recently." said Taoist Yumen.

The Divine Mace Guard sneered and said, “When I was alive, I was a Taoist priest in Zhengyang Palace for who knows how many generations.

After his death, he served as a spiritual official for many years.

During this period, when did the Master discuss important matters in Heaven with me? "

Lingguan is like a magic weapon, following his "master" to participate in every major war.

Discussing things? Rarely happens.

Yumen Zhenren was furious and wanted to scold this ignorant spiritual official who did not know what was good for him and who did not know the difference between respect and inferiority.

But he couldn't say against his will that he had nothing to tell him.

"I don't want to discuss things with you, but right now in Taiyi Dao, aren't you and Yu Fengxian the only acquaintances?

She now transformed herself into the 'Flying Feather Fairy' and told everyone she met that she was going south to Shouyang Mountain to look for her friends in Taiyi Dao.

Are you looking for me?"

The Divine Mace Guardian sighed, “Even if I have to take the blame, I will accept it honestly.

I just ask Master to tell me clearly what you want me to do!
I don't even understand the Master's intentions, so how can I do good things, right?"

"You shouldn't say anything like 'taking the blame'." said Master Yumen.

——Yu Fengxian stole the peaches from the heavenly garden. Even the Queen Mother was angry with her, so the Jade Emperor even convened a court meeting to punish her.

Even Grandmaster Zhang, who had ignored our Zhengyang Palace for a long time, hurriedly sent us news and instructions.

Now if you let someone be "friends" with her, instead of taking the blame, is there any benefit?

Not only do you let someone take the blame, you even don't let someone speak. You really don't take the "Spiritual Officer" seriously.

The Divine Mace Protector kept complaining in his heart, but he didn't dare to confront the Immortal anymore.

If a spiritual official talks back to the Taoist master, nothing good will happen.

"You are right, I was afraid of being implicated by Yu Fengxian, and I was flustered and said the wrong thing."

Yumen Zhenren immediately softened his expression and tone, and said softly, "You don't need to be afraid. Even Yu Fengxian herself doesn't need to worry too much as long as she is willing to listen to advice."

He pointed at the yellow paper again and said meaningfully, "You have read all the contents above, don't you understand?

Although there were immortal officials who responded to the Jade Emperor's questions and pointed out many faults of Yu Fengxian, they were all minor mistakes and were punished with 30 lashes and released in court."

The divine mace master said: "It is not a big mistake to call yourself 'Prime Minister' and harm a few immortal herbs.

But if she poisoned and killed tens of thousands of mortals and asked the Emperor of Heaven to strike her with thunder, would she also be punished with 'thirty strokes of the cane and released in court'?"

Yumen Zhenren glared at him and said, "She poisoned the Xiongnu who came south to attack the pass!
Would the immortals from Shenzhou kill her for something like this?

I said so much clearly before, but you just ignored it?"

The Divine Mace Guard sighed helplessly, "Master, you should just give me the order directly, and I will definitely obey you."

Yumen Zhenren was helpless and could only wave to him, put his mouth close to his ear, and whispered to him for a long time.

The expression of the divine mace protector changed several times, and he said in a hoarse voice: "I will go find Yu Fengxian now?"

Yumen Zhenren nodded gently and said, "The sooner the better, but don't show it too much. Just say that you heard the news that she was fighting the Huns in the north and you are worried about her."

The divine mace master said woodenly: "Don't worry, Master, I know what to say and what to do.

I guarantee that no matter what happens, it has nothing to do with Taiyi Dao, let alone the ancestors in heaven."

Yumen Zhenren comforted him, "Don't worry, I promise nothing will happen.

You are just giving her hints about what to do and what not to do.

I'm not asking you to do anything directly."

The divine mace master bowed and said, "I'm leaving now!"

"You can be anxious, but don't show it. Be calm and don't give yourself away." Yumen Zhenren gave the final advice.
