Chapter 453 If you don’t want to be cheated, you must cheat others first
The gate of the Jinque Palace slowly opened, and Wen Rui walked out slowly.
Taibai Jinxing, Princess Longji, Jiangyun and the two fairies Yueying followed closely.
The discussion in the Imperial Study finally came to a conclusion, but Wen Rui was not satisfied with the result.
The Jade Emperor holds the final say, and even if Wen Rui doesn't give him any face at all, he cannot change his words.
In other words, the mission of searching for people has to continue. Even though Xiniu Hezhou is a dangerous place, the king's order cannot be disobeyed, and Wen Rui must obey the order and take a chance.
However, the struggle was not completely meaningless. The Jade Emperor finally relented and allowed Wen Rui to seek help in Heaven, but on the condition that he could not use the Jade Emperor's name.
In addition, Taibai Jinxing withdrew from the investigation team and was ordered to go to Lingshan to meet Tathagata.
The Jade Emperor offered a compromise plan, Wen Rui's suggestion was adopted, and the Jade Emperor's decision was not rejected.
This plan seems to be quite reasonable, with two approaches working in parallel and being more efficient.
At the same time, two groups of people were sent out, one to use diplomatic means and the other to use force to rescue people. No matter which side made progress, the matter could be resolved.
It seems that the Jade Emperor is very wise and fair, and he did not deliberately target Wen Rui and force him to die.
But Wen Rui knew very well that things were definitely not as simple as they seemed.
Taibai Jinxing went to Lingshan and met Tathagata. He was free to say whatever he wanted and how he wanted to say it.
It is possible that he deliberately wanted to do something bad and trick Wen Rui badly.
For example, Taibai Jinxing could "inadvertently" mention in front of Tathagata, in front of a group of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas who raised monsters, that Wen Rui had sneaked into Xiniu Hezhou for a secret investigation, and quietly rescued the fairy as a witness, exposing to the world the truth that the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas raised monsters to harm people.
In this way, Wen Rui's so-called secret operation in Xiniu Hezhou might turn into a secret hunt, and the final outcome might be suicide by being stabbed in the back by seven demon-subduing pestles.
By then, who exactly killed Wen Rui will probably become an eternal mystery, and the truth will never be revealed.
"Emperor Wen, please rest assured. I will not let your majesty down when I go to Lingshan. I will definitely put pressure on the Buddha and bring the fairies back to heaven without bloodshed."
Taibai Jinxing was entrusted with the imperial mission and did not dare to delay for even a moment. He bowed and said goodbye to Wen Rui at the gate of Jinque Palace.
Wen Rui glanced at him sideways, gave him a "kind" smile, and squeezed out a word from between his teeth: "Get lost!"
Taibai Jinxing originally wanted to show off his acting skills and pretend to be aggrieved and explain a few words, but when he saw Wen Rui raising his arm to pull him down, he quickly covered his face and ran away in embarrassment.
Watching Lao Deng's fleeing figure disappear into the clouds, Wen Rui immediately activated the statue far away in the Huanghua Mountain Fortress, projecting a cross-domain clone to find the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord.
Wen Rui invested in and saw many temples dedicated to Emperor Jie Tian in the mortal world, and he built a golden statue of himself in each temple.
In addition to collecting incense and prayers, another more important use of these golden statues is to communicate across the two worlds.
Wen Rui cannot solve the problem of cross-domain communication with the technology he has. Quantum communication can overcome distance, but it cannot cross planes. So he can only find another way and use metaphysical methods to solve it. "Contact the 'lurkers' of the Demon Alliance in Xiniu Hezhou, and have them spread the news in the Demon Alliance that the messenger sent by the Heavenly Court will soon arrive at Lingshan to hold Tathagata accountable."
Wen Rui's projection clone gave the Hundred Eyes Demon Lord instructions: "It is said that the messenger, under the order of the Jade Emperor, asked Tathagata to thoroughly investigate the issue of the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas under his seat raising evil spirits to harm people, and ordered Tathagata to personally supervise the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas to personally kill the evil spirits they raised."
"In addition, there is another detail that needs to be added to the rumor, which is that the messenger is carrying irrefutable evidence of the demon king's evil deeds. It is said that as long as the evidence is placed in front of Tathagata, Tathagata will be unable to refute it even if he speaks eloquently."
This is called striking first. Wen Rui dare not bet on Taibai Jinxing's character and ability to do things. Before he can cheat him or harm him secretly, he will first trick him to death.
I believe that those demon kings of Xiniu Hezhou who have received the news, such as the Demon King Peng, the Yellow-browed Monster, the White Elephant Spirit, the Golden-haired Hound, the Lion-Lynx Monster, and the King of Inspiration, will definitely line the streets to warmly welcome the angel's arrival and receive him with great enthusiasm.
Even if Taibai Jinxing had the ability of Sun Wukong, he might not be able to reach Lingshan safely.
After explaining all this, Wen Rui's original body in heaven finally came to his senses.
Just as he came back to his senses, he saw three pretty faces approaching him, and three pairs of beautiful eyes stared at his handsome face.
Wen Rui looked back and saw that the three fairies simultaneously turned their eyes away and took a few steps back in embarrassment.
"Emperor Wen, thank you for helping my two poor sisters. If you hadn't changed the subject and diverted the attention of my father, the king, and my mother, they would have been tortured cruelly."
Princess Longji restrained her sharpness, and said in a gentle tone, full of gratitude: "Before, I was obsessed with appearances and was blinded by one leaf. I was disrespectful to the emperor. I apologize to you here."
As she spoke, she bowed deeply, appearing very sincere.
Fairy Jiangyun and Fairy Yueying also bowed with Longji. Fairy Yueying said boldly: "No wonder sister Yuqiao regards you as her white moonlight. She is innocent and has a pure and clear mind. But she is the first one among the sisters to see your true nature."
While speaking, she also glanced at Wen Rui, as if trying to peek at his reaction.
"Play as you like, make noise as you like, but don't turn your kindness against me!"
Wen Rui immediately frowned and angrily scolded, "I repeat, I am not familiar with your stupid sister, and I don't plan to get familiar with you! Yue Lao was tricked into the prison by me and is suffering. Now he is thinking about revenge! If I let that old pimp pull the strings, I will have to waste a lot of time dealing with the calamity of love in the mortal world. Anyway, don't force me to kill you!"
The three fairies seemed to have some affection for him, but their feelings were immediately extinguished by his shameless words, and they all rolled their eyes at him.
As a deity, one must be on guard against everything, including the matchmaker. If one offends the matchmaker, even a wicked person like Wen Rui will have to be doubly careful.
That old man is really good at harming people. He is good at harming people in the land of gentleness and the tomb of heroes. With a pull of the leather strap, even steel can become as soft as silk.
Besides, these brainless fairies are not Wen Rui's type at all. They haven't even graduated from elementary school, they have no knowledge and no experience. They only have a pretty appearance, so how could they catch the eye of Emperor Wen?
After dismissing the three fairies, Wen Rui jumped onto the clouds and was about to fly away, but the three fairies followed him silently.
Wen Rui flew for a while and thought they were just passing by, but when he stopped, several fairies following him a hundred meters away also stopped. He continued to fly, and the fairies continued to follow him.
This is all my fault!
Could it be that Yue Lao was the one who secretly did this?
