Chapter 789 Bai Zhen’s Dislike for Li Jing

After wandering around Xiqi, Bai Zhen directly left the Jiuzhou area where most of the human race lived and headed towards the East China Sea!

The human race was born in Shouyang Mountain, but has lived on the shores of the East China Sea for a long time. Naturally, the East China Sea has extraordinary significance among the human race!

Now guarding the shores of the East China Sea and being neighbors with the Dragon King of the East China Sea, it was none other than Li Jing of Chentangguan! Bai Zhen had a very low opinion of Li Jing in the original trajectory.

After all, Li Jing in the original storyline had three despicable qualities. The first was his disloyalty. As the general of Chentang Pass in the Shang Dynasty, he married Yin Shiniang, a member of the royal family. He was deeply favored by the emperor, yet he betrayed him without hesitation. This was truly despicable! Later, he was pardoned and granted the title of Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, but he chose to play two-faced. While serving as a high-ranking official in the Heavenly Court, his heart was still fixed on Mount Lingshan, making him a notorious traitor in the Three Realms!

Secondly, he was a father without love. His eldest and second sons were taken away at birth, and they could not enjoy the slightest father-son affection. Nezha, the youngest son, was finally saved from being taken away by Taiyi Zhenren, but he did not know how to cherish him and did not know how to educate Nezha, allowing Nezha to go further and further down the path of a naughty child!

To be honest, Bai Zhen didn't understand why Li Jing had so many prejudices against Nezha! As a cultivator, although he wasn't very knowledgeable, he could at least tell that Nezha, who had been pregnant for three years, was definitely not a demon!

However, when Nezha was born and took the form of a meat ball, he chopped him down with a knife without hesitation, without any regard for the father-son relationship. It was this move by Li Jing that prevented Nezha from being born perfectly and also laid the groundwork for the breakup between father and son!

Because Li Jing didn't know how to teach his children, and Taiyi Zhenren and Yin Shiniang doted on Nezha, Nezha became a naughty child. Every time Nezha got into trouble, Taiyi Zhenren helped clean up the mess, but what did Li Jing do?

When Lady Shiji arrived, Li Jing chose to hand over Nezha without any intention of pleading for him! When the Four Seas Dragon Kings were about to flood Chentang Pass, he directly regarded Nezha as a discarded child in the name of humanity, abandoned him, and cooperated with the Four Seas Dragon Kings to kill Nezha!

After Nezha had cut off his flesh to return to his father and removed his bones to return to his mother, he was finally ready to be reborn with the help of Taiyi Zhenren through the merits of incense and offerings. However, Li Jing personally smashed Nezha's statue, destroying all of Nezha's efforts!

If Taiyi Zhenren had not intervened in time to protect Nezha's soul and create a lotus body for Nezha, it is hard to say whether Nezha would still exist in this world!

However, even if Taiyi Zhenren made timely remedies, Nezha was still harmed greatly. Although the Lotus Body could allow Nezha to soar into the sky, Nezha's own upper limit was trapped by this Lotus Body. After all, if it were not for the huge defects of the Lotus Body, why would Taiyi Zhenren choose to let Nezha be reborn as the Lotus Body when he had no other choice?

Third, he was an unkind husband. Li Jing was a registered disciple of Du'e Zhenren, but because of his lack of talent, he came down from the mountains to enjoy the wealth of the world. However, with the help of Shiji Niangniang of Jiejiao and his own efforts, he became the general of Chentang Pass and married Yin Shiniang, a relative of the royal family.

However, for the sake of his own immortal path and to please the Chan sect, Li Jing ignored Yin Shiniang's wishes and directly gave the newborn Jinzha and Muzha to Manjusri Bodhisattva and Samantabhadra when the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan sect came to recruit disciples!

It was precisely because of the departure of Jinzha and Muzha that Yin Shiniang was hit hard, and at the same time, she placed the love of Jinzha and Muzha on the child Nezha!

However, when Li Jing encountered Nezha getting into trouble, he did not offer to protect him but simply pushed Nezha away, showing no responsibility as a husband at all.

Nezha's death made Yin Shiniang heartbroken, but Li Jing forbade her to even mention the child Nezha. Yin Shiniang used her own private money to build a temple for Nezha, and continued to accumulate merits for Nezha's resurrection, but Li Jing smashed Nezha's statue, almost causing Nezha to be unable to be reborn forever.

Later, when Li Jing was facing Nezha's pursuit, he did not realize that he was wrong at all. Instead, in order to delay time, he pushed Yin Shiniang out to block the knife. If Nezha had not stopped in time, he might have killed his own biological mother with his own hands!
