Chapter 801 Shiji's Regret
After seeing the pure and ethereal aura emanating from Lady Shiji, confirming that she was not an evil cultivator but a legitimate female cultivator, Nezha finally felt relieved!
After some conversation, Nezha finally understood the nature of the woman in front of him, and Lady Shiji also learned that Nezha was born into the family of Li Jing, the general of Chentang Pass!
Originally, Lady Shiji had planned to use Li Jing to improve her relationship with Nezha. However, upon noticing the look of disgust on Nezha's face, she realized that the father-son relationship between Nezha and Li Jing was not good at all!
Originally, Shiji had planned to help Li Jing make amends and ease the tension between the father and son. However, after hearing about Li Jing's scumbag father's behavior, Lady Shiji wished she had never helped Li Jing!
As a husband, in order to get on the good side of Yuxu Palace, he had Manjushri and Samantabhadra take away Jinzha and Muzha as soon as they were born, without any regard for Yin Shiniang's feelings. Will she suffer from postpartum depression as a result?
As a cultivator, how could he not know how much it depletes one's vital energy to have a child with a cultivator when a mortal is the mother?
Even with the elixirs given by the two Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect, Manjushri and Samantabhadra, to help him recover his vital energy, he could not allow Lady Yin to become pregnant with Muzha right after giving birth to Jinzha, and then become pregnant with Nezha right after giving birth to Muzha!
Besides, as a cultivator, he couldn't even distinguish between demonic energy and pure spiritual energy, and he shouted and killed at me, who was obviously a reincarnated immortal with a background. If it weren't for Taiyi Zhenren's timely intervention, more than 50% of Nezha's previous life's accumulation would have been wasted!
Furthermore, for a cultivator, the boundaries of time are not as clear as when they were mortals. To put it bluntly, ten years is just a blink of an eye for a cultivator, but Li Jing couldn't even endure ten years of loneliness. No wonder he was destined to be an immortal and could only enjoy worldly riches!
If it weren't for the imminent outbreak of the Great Calamity, every action she took could become the trigger for its eruption. Perhaps Shi Ji would even be planning to go to Chaoge and have Grand Tutor Wen Zhong strip Li Jing of his official position!
As for the reasons why Li Jing was dismissed from his post, there is no need to search carefully. The fact that Li Jing favored his concubine over his wife is enough. It should be noted that the marriage between Lady Yin and Li Jing was essentially a political alliance.
Without Madam Yin, how could a fisherman who had just come down from the mountain, was struggling to achieve immortality, was penniless, and had no connections possibly have been able to sit on the position of a powerful regional official like the General of Chentang Pass?
Relying on his master, Master Du'e's, reputation? That's a complete joke. Master Du'e was merely a nominal disciple who had listened to Laozi, the Good Corpse of the Supreme Lord Lao, preach. If we're really talking about it, this nominal discipleship is far from genuine!
If it weren't for Master Du'e's consistent adherence to the philosophy of non-action, he might have lost his status as a so-called nominal disciple long ago!
Although Master Du'e has accumulated a certain network of connections over the years, the vast majority of beings only care about him because of his status as a disciple of the Human Sect.
This also means that the connections that Master Du'e has with those people are naturally becoming less and less. He doesn't even have enough to use on himself, so how could he possibly waste them on Li Jing, who is someone who is unlikely to achieve immortality?
Back then, Shi Ji was ordered to descend the mountain to sweep away demons from all directions. On her way, she met Li Jing, who had just come down the mountain. Shi Ji felt that she had some affinity with him. In addition, Li Jing was honest, upright, and of very orthodox birth. Therefore, she chose to help Li Jing find a job through Grand Tutor Wen Zhong, and thus he got a good marriage!
However, Li Jing's every move was a clear indication to Shi Ji that she had entrusted herself to the wrong person. Thinking of Li Jing's outrageous actions, Shi Ji's temples throbbed with anger. She also felt somewhat guilty towards Yin Shiniang, because if it weren't for her interference, perhaps Yin Shiniang's marriage would have been much happier!
Just as Shi Ji was looking at Nezha with a guilty expression, she overheard Nezha saying that when he first arrived at Skull Mountain and saw the human skeletons, he felt an overwhelming killing intent!
