If you don't give up, I'd like to be your adoptive father.

Chapter 867: Caring Second Brother

To be honest, Lei Zhenzi felt that his second brother was a little self-willed and self-righteous.

Yu Fengxian originally refused to go to Yaochi to be a jade maiden, and her desire to become a celestial fairy was only the core reason she gave, but how could we not guess what she was thinking in her heart?
That Shaman was born in a humble family, but he had a very high spirit.

She looked down upon the identity of "Yao Chi Jade Girl" and could not stand the restrictions and constraints of Yao Chi Jade Girl.

This kind of character can be seen from the gamble on fate at the government gate ten years ago.

How could a person without arrogance and temper dare to gamble with the Emperor of Heaven in broad daylight?
Let Yu Fengxian go to Baiyun Cave to "steal" the magic. Now she doesn't understand the essence of "Baiyun Cave Magic". She is very happy after getting the 72 Disha Transformations; if she gets the 36 Tiangang Transformations, she will probably cry with joy.

But if she discovers the drawbacks and limitations of magic in the future, will she blame Erlang Shen for plotting against her today?

Even if the second brother means well, the good in his heart may not satisfy Yu Fengxian!
Lei Zhenzi sighed in his heart but couldn't say it.

Firstly, he never dared or wanted to contradict his second brother; secondly, although his second brother's behavior was not in line with her nature, it could save her life. As long as she was alive, there was hope; if she was gone, all her arrogance and temper would be in vain.

Overall, the second brother's arrangement was absolutely good for Yu Fengxian, but it was just his idea.
"Second brother's arrangement is indeed not perfect. She didn't hear the news about Baiyun Cave." He said tactfully.

“No, it’s not that my arrangement is imperfect.” Yang Jian waved his hand and said, “Brother, according to my calculations that day, she must have received the message I sent out.

As a result, she missed the opportunity to go to Baiyun Cave.

This means that with my level of skill, I am unable to decide her fate.

It's because of her special fate, not because there are obvious loopholes in my arrangement."

"Second brother has already become a Golden Immortal. Your Taoism is not even enough. Do you really need the help of the Taoist Ancestor?" Lei Zhenzi said with a smile.

“She, Yu Fengxian, does have a peculiar fate, but at best, she is just the destined one for this great catastrophe of heaven and earth.

How does this catastrophe at the end of the Qin Dynasty compare to the catastrophe we experienced during the Conferred Gods?
The Yu Fengxian at this moment is at best the same level as before.”

Lei Zhenzi thought carefully for a moment before saying, "Wherever this fellow goes, immortals will fall.

But she herself is very tough. When others die, she is still fine. She is a bit like Shen Gongbao back then."

"First of all, I am only a Golden Immortal, and I have not yet achieved Daluo. I have not yet found the way!" Yang Jian sighed and continued: "Secondly, even if Yu Fengxian is Shen Gongbao, could our master have arranged Shen Gongbao's fate back then?
My current level of Taoism is probably lower than theirs back then.

Besides, Yu Fengxian is not Shen Gongbao at all. She is much more "plaguey" than Shen Gongbao.

Shen Gongbao never created or changed his own destiny.

Everything he did was in accordance with the will of heaven.

If Yu Fengxian were really put in Conferred Gods, I guess that when Shen Gongbao meets her, it would be Shen Gongbao who would be killed, not her."

Lei Zhenzi said: "Her magical powers and Taoism at this moment should not be as good as Shen Gongbao's.

Shen Gongbao is our uncle, who has practiced the orthodox teachings of the Chan sect for decades, and his magical powers are pure and righteous.

Is it the complex internal function created by Yu Fengxian?"

"Alas, what's the use of pure magic power?" Yang Jian shook his head and said, "Although I just came to the Heavenly Palace today (this year), I have also heard about the Daze Dragon Palace case.

Daya, Zhongshan, Danhua, Ao Yu and others have been relegated to the animal realm, right?

According to their karma and heavenly sins (punishment from the Heavenly Court for crimes of rebellion and false accusation), they might have become plants, insects, or beasts by now.

I don’t know if they can survive the disaster and come back in this era.

Could it be that their magic power is not as pure as Yu Fengxian's?"

Lei Zhenzi was in high spirits and shouted, "Brother, I came to you in a hurry because it is related to the Daze Dragon Palace case!
The Emperor of Heaven accepted the judgment of the Water Deity in its entirety.

Yu Fengxian performed a good show in the Daze Dragon Palace, completely confirming the crimes of the eight immortals and many dragon kings.

They first took the initiative to provoke this disaster, and then went to the Heavenly Court to falsely accuse Yu Fengxian, adding crime to crime, and their crimes are extremely heinous.

According to the laws of heaven, the God of Water Deity stripped everyone of their immortal and divine positions.

He was also locked in the Zhuxiantai and whipped with two thousand lashes, which completely turned his immortal soul into a mortal.

After reincarnation again, the immortal aura was no longer on his body, and his ten thousand years of cultivation had completely vanished into nothing.

Even if there were immortals who were willing to save them, they could not do so because their karma and sins were too heavy.

But second brother, think about it from another perspective. How could their old teachers and friends let it go with such a tragic ending?
What was even more unbearable for the immortals was that this time, the Emperor of Heaven, as Yu Fengxian had wished, directly announced to the Three Realms the entire process of the Daze Dragon Palace case, including the sentencing and execution.

Thousands of immortals and gods in the three realms were terrified.

Madam Danhua is the master of the 72 blessed places, and Daya and Zhongshan are both powerful immortals.

Since the Conferred God, it is not an exaggeration to call it the "biggest case among gods" and the "biggest scandal in heaven".

They must hate the Water God.

But if they really want to take revenge on someone, if they really want to vent their grief and hatred, it must be Yu Fengxian!

I have confirmed that there are many powerful people who are calculating Yu Fengxian's heavenly tribulation this time.

Even if Yu Fengxian is really lucky, very lucky.

But even if he survived this thunder tribulation by chance, he would definitely be seriously injured and it would be difficult for him to move.

It would have been easy to kill her then."

Yang Jian frowned and said, “Are the lessons of Daya, Zhongshan, and Danhua not enough to shock the immortals?
Today, the great catastrophe of heaven and earth is raging.

Yu Fengxian has a destiny and is a key person in the catastrophe.

If you still pester her now, aren't you inviting disaster upon yourself?"

"Second brother is an expert but speaking in layman's terms! Haven't we seen enough of this kind of thing during the Conferred God Tribulation?
Today, the fourth and fifth generation disciples of Jiejiao died. Tomorrow, their friends will come to look for them, and the day after tomorrow, their teachers will come to look for them.
Then the third generation disciples, the second generation disciples, and finally even our great uncle (Tongtian) met their end.

He set up the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation, clearly intending to go against heaven's will, just to vent his anger.

During the great catastrophe of heaven and earth, once the calamity energy is aroused, it cannot be stopped. Even though one knows everything in the mind, one still cannot control it.

If even saints are like this, ordinary immortals will inevitably have to join the game and fulfill their destiny." Lei Zhenzi sighed.

"Alas, that killer Yu Fengxian was too heavy-handed and merciless. Given the current situation, we brothers are no longer able to intervene. Let them do whatever they want." Yang Jian also sighed.

Now he understood why Lei Zhenzi was in such a hurry to find him and why he was so sneaky.

If it was just a simple thunder tribulation of the three disasters, Yu Fengxian would still have a chance of survival.

But if a powerful person sets his eyes on her and wants to take advantage of her weak period after surviving the thunder tribulation to plot against her, there is only one possibility that she can get through this difficulty safely, that is, she survives the thunder tribulation but does not enter the weak period.

If she wasn't weak, they wouldn't have a chance to take advantage of her. If they couldn't defeat her, she could at least escape.

If they are not 100% sure, they probably won't take action.

After all, if they let her escape, how could they sleep peacefully in the future?

"Don't care at all? Our little tricks will definitely not be hidden from the Grandmaster (Yuanshi).

I did some small actions before, but now I suddenly stop doing them. What would the ancestor think?

Even if the Grand Master doesn't care about Yu Fengxian's life or death, the Grand Master will definitely think we are incompetent if we brothers do things like this." Lei Zhenzi said.

Or don't do it in the first place.

Once you do something, you have to do it well and completely. Apart from attitude, this is also a question of ability.

Yang Jian asked, "Why has Yu Fengxian's calamity been delayed until now?"

Lei Zhenzi said, "She traveled with Gou Jiao before and became his teacher. Later, she traveled thousands of miles with Xi Juan and became his teacher. Both Gou Jiao and Xi Juan have unique fates."

"How strange is it? It can actually affect the calamity energy." Yang Jian asked curiously.

"It's very strange. I secretly investigated their origins, but couldn't find any useful information. Everything that can be found out by ghosts, gods, immortals and Buddhas is fake."

Lei Zhenzi took two steps closer to his second brother and said in a low voice, "It's obvious that there is a powerful person behind them."

Yang Jian was shocked and said: "Even I can't arrange the fate of Yu Fengxian, what great power can——"

——Could it be the Taoist Ancestor?

Yang Jian felt a little hot and wet on his back, "Alas, we really shouldn't have been involved in Yu Fengxian's stinky shit."

"Brother, just tell me what to do now, I will listen to you." Lei Zhenzi said.

——Damn it, I also want to call you “Brother”, you come and teach me how to do it!
Yang Jian's mind was full of mixed thoughts, and after a while he asked, "With Yu Fengxian's current strength, what are the chances of surviving the thunder tribulation?"

"It's hard to say." Lei Zhenzi hesitated and said, "A few months ago, when she met Xi Juan, she triggered the nine-nine great calamities. There is no chance of survival, and she is doomed to die!

At that time, she had not made any preparation for the heavenly tribulation. She had no magic weapon and no magic formation to overcome the tribulation.

Her own thunder magic, such as the Five Thunder General Sword and the Thunder Hand, is useless in front of me.

Ninety-nine and eighty-one mine chariots, I will lay the mines myself, she is dead.

But she was very smart and lucky, and she ended up with a weirdo like Xi Juan.

In recent months, she has been studying methods to overcome tribulations all the time, and her own thunder magic has also made great progress.

I am no longer 100% sure that I can kill her with the sword.

But the problem is that thunder tribulation is not the only disaster she has.

She was clearly plagued by calamity and was about to pass it, but she still killed more than a dozen gods in the Daze Dragon Palace and made hundreds and thousands of enemies. You are right, second brother. We brothers have limited abilities and cannot help or lead such troublemakers and stinky shits."

Yang Jian calculated quickly with his hands and said, "It's too late to send her to immortality now.

Brother, when you lay the mines, lower your position and see if she is smart. "

Lei Zhenzi asked in confusion: "The height of the position does not affect the lightning strike!"

Yang Jian whispered, "When you were setting up the thunder, were there any gods daring to wait nearby?
Under the thundercloud at that time, there were only you and Yu Fengxian.

If she is smart and takes the initiative to beg for mercy from you, you can give her a hint - if she survives the catastrophe, don't stay, quickly burrow into the ground and run away."

Lei Zhenzi laughed happily and said, "Second brother is really smart, this is a good idea!

When I laid the mines, I showed no mercy and did not disobey the Jade Emperor's orders. If she was able to escape, it must have been after she had survived the calamity."

Yang Jian also had a smug smile on his face, and said, "After all, I am a Golden Immortal who is in the process of merging with the Dao. I can't decide her fate for her, and I can't predict what other immortals are planning for her?"

After laughing, he sighed and said, “This is all we brothers can do.

Whether she can survive this disaster depends on herself. A good blacksmith must be strong himself!

The road to becoming an immortal is full of twists and turns. We also went through countless hardships to get to where we are today."

Lei Zhenzi said: "Having achieved this step, we brothers have fulfilled our friendship as disciples of the Chan Sect. The road ahead is——"

His expression suddenly changed slightly, and he said anxiously: "Brother, there is a lightning official calling my divine name above the thunderclouds. It must be that the thunder calamity is about to begin. I have to go."

"Brother, go ahead!" Yang Jian waved his hand.

Lei Zhenzi clasped his hands together, and the wind and thunder wings behind him opened and flapped gently.

"Sizzle!" The thunder turned into a tiny arc of lightning and instantly crossed tens of millions of miles.

The previous moment, he was still in the fairy cloud near the South Gate of Heaven, whispering to Yang Jian; the next moment, he came in front of the electrician.

"What's going on?" Lei Zhenzi asked in a serious tone and dignified expression, as if he was a thunder god who would never bend the law for personal gain.

Well, he is indeed the God of Thunder, and the Star Lord of the Thunder Department.

The electric officials and nearby strong men all bowed their heads and performed a great salute, then pointed downwards and said, "Lord of the Heaven, look, Yu Fengxian has already parted ways with Xi Juan.

The calamity energy is swirling around her again, and within three to five days at most, the Heavenly Thunder Order will surely descend."

Lei Zhenzi glanced down and frowned, "Why did you return to heaven? One day in heaven is one year on earth.

Three or five days on earth, how much time can there be in heaven?

What crime should be committed if one delays the "time of heaven"? "

The electrician knelt on the ground and said wailingly, "Please forgive me, my Lord. I was careless.

Earlier, we saw Yu Fengxian and Xi Juan traveling together, and we got impatient waiting down below, so we pulled the Thunder Chariot up to the heaven."

They originally used the time difference between heaven and earth to wait out Yu Fengxian and Xi Juan.

Otherwise, how could they endure Yu Fengxian and Xi Juan traveling together for several months?
Now that Yu Fengxian had just separated from Xi Juan, the electric official forgot to pull the thunder chariot back to the lower world, giving Lei Zhenzi a handle and an opportunity.

"What are you still standing there for? Go down to the lower world! Pull the thunder chariot down to the lower world quickly, even lower than before.

This time it is the Nine-Nine Great Heavenly Tribulations, and the divine thunder is terrifying.

The closer to the human world, the smaller the thundercloud's range will be!" Lei Zhenzi ordered loudly.

The electric official carried the "Thunder Flag", and the strong man dragged the Thunder Chariot and Thunder Drum, and they drove towards the human world in a mighty manner.

As soon as they landed, the sky over Pei County became overcast.

The sky was originally cloudless, but now a gray cloud appeared to the west of Pei County.

"What is Yu Fengxian doing?"

The position was quite low, and Lei Zhenzi was able to use the calamity energy to clearly see Yu Fengxian's movements.

"Damn it, she's almost going through a catastrophe, and she still has the mind to go to the county town for a feast?
Is she planning to invite others to her feast in a few days?"

He was almost worried about her, but this guy was so good that he was drinking with all the guests at the table.

She was the center of attention, with constant praises from all around her. She felt so happy and proud.

"It's not Yu Fengxian's fault. She had already set up a tribulation-transcending formation in Mangdang Mountain. She just came down the mountain today and was dragged to attend the housewarming banquet."

The electrician witnessed the whole process and spoke a fair word on behalf of Yu Fengxian.
