Chapter 767: Lotus Lantern + Journey to the West - Tang Monk's Flesh 27
Although Sun Wukong did not like his master Tang Sanzang, he still had feelings for his two fellow disciples, Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing. After learning that the two children adopted by Yang Chan were his fellow disciples' children, for some reason he also stayed in the Kingdom of Women and took over Ruyi's job to help Yang Chan take care of the children.
Among the three little girls, Sun Wukong's favorite is Chenxiang, born to the Third Holy Mother Yang Chan. Sun Wukong thinks Chenxiang has a quirky personality and is a good match for him, so he gradually comes up with the idea of taking Chenxiang as his disciple and teaching her how to practice.
Ruyi only stayed with Ruoshui for a few days in heaven before returning to the Kingdom of Women. Several years had passed in the mortal world at this time. The fact that Yang Chan had left her post without permission and was absent from Mount Hua for a long time was finally discovered by the gods in heaven.
"God of Justice, the Third Holy Mother has left her post without permission and disobeyed the Jade Emperor's orders. We have now found out that she is greedy for the mortal world and neglects her duties as a god. I order you to go down to the mortal world immediately and capture the Third Holy Mother and bring her back to heaven to await the Jade Emperor's trial!"
Yang Jian has not seen his sister Yang Chan since he took up the position of the God of Justice. He thought that every time he went to Huashan to find Yang Chan, she was not there because Yang Chan deliberately avoided him and did not want to see him. He never thought that he would be guilty just because his sister Yang Chan left the Huashan Taoist temple.
Yang Jian tried to defend Yang Chan. He explained to the Jade Emperor, "The Third Holy Mother did not leave her post without permission. She was just out visiting friends. The Heavenly Law does not stipulate that the immortals stationed in the Taoist temple must stay in the Taoist temple all the time!"
Upon learning that Yang Chan was suddenly "guilty", Chang'e could not help but come out of Guanghan Palace to find the Jade Emperor to plead for mercy. The Jade Emperor was a little shaken. The fact that Yang Chan was not in Huashan was just a trivial matter to him. If it weren't for the clairvoyance that reported the matter to him, he actually wouldn't care at all.
Seeing that Yang Jian and Chang'e had come to plead for mercy, the Jade Emperor wanted to go along with their wishes and just said, "What the God of Justice and Fairy Chang'e said makes sense. Although I have given Huashan to San Shengmu as a Taoist temple and asked her to guard Huashan well, I have not required her to stay there all the time."
"So let's forget about the matter of the Third Holy Mother 'absent from duty'. But..." When the Jade Emperor saw Qianliyan opening his mouth as if he wanted to say something, he quickly waved his hand to signal Qianliyan not to speak, and then turned to look at Yang Jian.
"God of Justice, although I did not ask the Third Holy Mother to stay at Huashan all the time, she was away for quite a long time this time. I order you to go down to the mortal world as soon as possible to find the Third Holy Mother and not allow her to stay in the mortal world!"
Although Yang Jian was dissatisfied with the tone of the Jade Emperor's order, he thought that the other party had helped him, so he endured it and stepped forward and responded with a yes.
After Yang Jian came down to earth, he once again came to Huashan Holy Mother Temple. There was still no Yang Chan in the temple. There was only a down-and-out scholar who lived in the temple as a shelter and spontaneously entertained pilgrims who came to the temple as a temple priest.
Yang Jian was upset to see his sister's temple occupied by a mortal, but when he thought about how this person had at least helped clean up his sister's temple, he frowned but still couldn't bear to drive him away. Just as he was about to leave the Holy Mother Temple, he suddenly saw the down-and-out scholar who was sweeping with a rag suddenly walk up to Yang Chan's Holy Mother statue with a dazed and wretched expression, "Holy Mother, you are so beautiful, it would be great if you could show up and meet me..."
"Hey! Die, you damn lecher!" Yang Jian was completely furious. He thought that this man had seized the Holy Mother Temple because he was in poverty and had no power for the time being, but he didn't expect that this man had evil intentions and coveted his sister as a mortal. Seeing his obscene and lustful expression, Yang Jian felt his heart burning with anger and wished he could kill him directly.
The down-and-out scholar Liu Yanchang was awakened by Yang Jian's angry scolding. He panicked and didn't know what to do. When he saw Yang Jian appear and stare at him, he immediately pretended to be an honest man and stepped forward to pay a respectful and proper salute: "Your Excellency must have misunderstood. I am not a pervert. I was just too pious when I was helping the Third Holy Mother wipe the statue."
"There is a difference between immortals and mortals. I know I am not worthy of the Third Holy Mother, so how dare I covet her?"
"Hmph!" Yang Jian looked at Liu Yanchang with sarcasm. He felt extremely disgusted with the man in front of him. No matter how Liu Yanchang expressed his grievance, Yang Jian ignored him and directly cast a spell to throw him out of Huashan.
"Sister! Chan'er! Please come out soon. Your second brother can explain the matter of the God of Justice!" Yang Jian had not found Yang Chan's whereabouts. He guessed that Yang Chan might be in Huashan, just hiding from him. So after dealing with Liu Yanchang, Yang Jian began to send messages in Huashan, trying to force Yang Chan to come out.
"Master, I'm back. The Third Holy Mother is not in Huaguo Mountain." Xiaotian Dog was sent to Huaguo Mountain by Yang Jian. Yang Jian remembered that Yang Chan once told him that she had a good friend in Huaguo Mountain.
"What? Not in Huaguo Mountain? Xiaotian Dog, have you asked the monkeys in Huaguo Mountain?"
"Master, I asked, and the old monkey on the Flower-Fruit Mountain told me that the Three Holy Mothers did have a good relationship with their Second Great King. But after that stinky monkey Sun Wukong went back, the Second Great King left the Flower-Fruit Mountain."
"Since then, I have never seen San Sheng Mu go to Huaguo Mountain again." Xiaotian Dog originally wanted to use his nose to follow the scent of San Sheng Mu to find her, but unfortunately, the scent of San Sheng Mu's things that Yang Jian had in his hands over the years had dissipated, so he had no choice but to find her this way.
"Then have you asked where the Second King went after leaving Huaguo Mountain?" Yang Jian thought about it and still felt that Yang Chan was very likely to go to find the Second King, so he began to ask Xiaotian Dog about the whereabouts of the Second King.
Coincidentally, Roaring Sky Dog actually knew. He nodded and said to Yang Jian, "Master, I asked, and the old monkey said that not long ago Sun Wukong said he was going to look for the Second Great King. So as long as we find the whereabouts of that stinky monkey, we can know where the Second Great King is, and then we can find the Third Holy Mother."
Sun Wukong has never been good at hiding what he does. If one wants to know his whereabouts, one can just ask a few local gods. Yang Jian did not delay and immediately called out the local god to ask him about Sun Wukong's whereabouts. He learned from the local god that Sun Wukong went towards the Kingdom of Women in Xiliang. Although it was unexpected, after thinking about it, he felt that the Third Holy Mother might really be in the Kingdom of Women.
"Xiaotian Dog, let's go to the Kingdom of Women!" So Yang Jian cast a spell to wrap up the entire Huashan Mountain, and then set off to fly towards the Kingdom of Women with Xiaotian Dog.
After arriving at the Kingdom of Women, it was much easier for Yang Jian to find someone. He did not go directly into the Kingdom of Women to look for someone, but stopped by the Zi Mu River, opened his Heavenly Eye and began to search for Yang Chan's location.
"Found it, over there!"
After Yang Jian found Yang Chan's location, he immediately rushed over with Xiaotian Dog and soon saw a small courtyard decorated with flowers, which looked very beautiful and comfortable.
"This courtyard is so beautiful. It seems that the Third Holy Mother is very happy living here." Xiaotian Dog sneezed at the fragrance of the flowers and said to Yang Jian with a smile.
