#1901 - Cleansing the Heavens
The reason why Chu Hao insisted on Nanji Xianweng revealing the connection between Donghua Dijun and the Western Paradise was to take the opportunity to ferret out the spies that the Western Paradise had planted in the Heavenly Court.
After all, even Maitreya could plant his own people in the Heavenly Court, so Tathagata must have already started making arrangements.
This was a very normal thing.
It's just that the Buddhist and Taoist paths are different, but there are inevitably some scoundrels.
It was a pity that Nanji Xianweng was tight-lipped and didn't reveal any flaws.
Chu Hao was not in a hurry, because someone would always be unable to sit still after Nanji Xianweng was arrested.
He could completely wait for the rabbit to come to him.
At that time, in the lower realm, after Chu Hao's disturbance, the king was so frightened that he hurriedly called all the soldiers to protect himself well.
In the bedroom, the king leaned on a concubine, still with lingering fear, his body trembling slightly.
He had never seen the true form of the white deer, and he was skeptical of what Chu Hao had said before.
But he always felt that something was wrong, and everything seemed a little strange.
Outside the bedroom, a group of soldiers in armor were on high alert.
They didn't know what happened late at night, but seeing the king so serious, they couldn't help but suspect that there were monsters causing trouble again.
After all, it had been rumored in the city recently that the current Royal Father-in-law was a monster, especially since some of them had even seen a demonic light rushing out of the palace.
Shoo—
Just then, suddenly some soldiers heard the sound of something cutting through the air.
Bang—
Immediately afterwards, he heard the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.
"What… what is it?" the king asked in panic.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, it is a white deer," a soldier reported at the door.
"A white deer?" the king asked with a puzzled look.
He put on his shoes and clothes, and walked out of the room with the support of the concubine.
Outside the door, a group of soldiers gathered together, each with a curious look on their faces.
The king walked over, and the soldiers made way for him.
At this time, the king also saw the appearance of the object clearly, it was a white deer, which seemed to have been dead for a long time, but there were no wounds on its body, and its pure white fur seemed to emit a glow, which was very abrupt in the night sky.
He breathed a sigh of relief, almost thinking that it was that guy who had killed his way back.
"What's there to see in a white deer?" the king said, intending to leave.
Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of a jade pendant on the white deer's neck.
He frowned, squatted down, reached out his hand, and took off the jade pendant from the white deer's neck.
When he held it in his hand and saw the jade pendant clearly, the king's body shook, and his face was shocked.
He looked at the corpse in front of him in disbelief, and then looked at the jade pendant.
This jade pendant was a piece of white jade, which he had bestowed on the Royal Father-in-law in the first place.
But now, the jade pendant actually appeared on this white deer's body, which shocked him.
He retreated in panic, and the concubine next to him quickly supported him: "Your Majesty, what's wrong?"
The king stared at the white deer with wide eyes, and associating it with what the mysterious man had said before, his right hand holding the white jade trembled uncontrollably.
"A demon… it really is a demon…,"
The king exclaimed.
After saying that, he immediately ordered: "Quickly burn it on the spot, hurry."
As he said that, he turned around and hurried back to the bedroom, not daring to come out again.
In the night sky, Guanyin shook her head slightly when she saw this scene.
"Great Master Guanyin, should we report this matter to Buddha?" Diting next to her asked.
"Yes, go and report it," Guanyin didn't want to appear in the eyes of the Buddhas anymore, mainly because she always brought bad news.
Diting had no choice but to obey the order and leave.
…
In the Heavenly Court, Chu Hao left the Law Enforcement Hall and walked towards the Jade Emperor's palace.
At that time, the Jade Emperor was meditating and resting, and suddenly sensed that Chu Hao had arrived, and was immediately puzzled.
"Your Majesty."
Chu Hao didn't report in advance and went directly into the palace.
"Prison God, is there another conflict with the Western Paradise?" the Jade Emperor asked, sitting cross-legged on the spirit platform.
Chu Hao shook his head: "Your Majesty, not so, I just arrested a person to the Law Enforcement Hall, and I came here specifically to report it."
"Oh?" the Jade Emperor showed a hint of doubt.
In his opinion, the fact that Chu Hao needed to report it generally meant that the person he had arrested was of no low status?
He immediately asked: "Who did you arrest?"
"Longevity Star, Nanji Xianweng," Chu Hao said straightforwardly.
"Nanji Xianweng? That disciple of the Saint?" A look of surprise flashed across the Jade Emperor's face.
He never expected that Chu Hao would be so bold as to arrest even a disciple of the Saint.
But when he thought that Nanji Xianweng seemed to be a disciple of Chan Sect, and that Chu Hao originated from Jie Sect, he felt that this matter was very reasonable.
"That's right, Your Majesty," Chu Hao nodded.
"Then what did he do wrong?" the Jade Emperor asked.
If he arrested the other party for no reason, he himself would not be able to explain it to the Saint.
"He openly attacked me, the Prison God of Law Enforcement of the Three Realms, and Guanyin also saw this," Chu Hao said with a calm face.
"Openly attacked you?" the Jade Emperor was slightly startled.
To be honest, he didn't believe it in his heart, after all, who would dare to attack you, old man?
Whether he believed it or not, he also realized that this might be a reason that Chu Hao had found himself.
After all, Nanji Xianweng belonged to Chan Sect, and although everyone belonged to the Taoist sect, they were still different from each other.
Whether it was Chan Sect or Jie Sect, as the protagonists of the last tribulation, their disputes had come to an end, but their respective forces had not disappeared.
And the Heavenly Court was more like a neutral force recognized by all Taoist forces, and there was very little friction with other forces.
Now, due to the arrival of the Journey to the West tribulation, Chan Sect chose to get close to the Western Paradise in order to seek greater benefits.
And the Heavenly Court also wanted to get a share of the pie in this tribulation.
On some level, there was still a competitive relationship between the Heavenly Court and Chan Sect.
Now, if the Heavenly Court arrested a disciple of Chan Sect for no reason, it would inevitably arouse the dissatisfaction of Chan Sect.
The reason why Chu Hao said this was actually to find an excuse for the Jade Emperor.
And his coming to report to the Jade Emperor was also to ask this Heavenly Venerate to block the pressure from Chan Sect for him, so that he could implement his plan.
"Not bad, Your Majesty, so it is reasonable for me to detain him," Chu Hao nodded.
The Jade Emperor was very clear that Chu Hao should have other ideas, so he asked: "What do you plan to do?"
"I want to purify the Heavenly Court," Chu Hao said seriously.
"Purify the Heavenly Court?" The Jade Emperor immediately realized the seriousness of the matter.
His eyes flickered, staring at Chu Hao, his voice slightly low: "What do you know?"
"Your Majesty, you will know soon, for now, it is best not to startle the snake," Chu Hao didn't say much.
