I Possess a Scroll of Demon-Subduing Records

It's normal for Linglin to like reading; she's a good child.

But Lingyi is someone who can't sit still, so how could she possibly have the patience to read?

So, the Queen Mother of the West began to secretly observe the books Lingyi was reading.

The Queen Mother of the West didn't react much to the myths she brought back from the human world.

She acts strictly, but only on the grounds of the matter at hand, and everything is based on rules.

She didn't take it too seriously when mortals wrote books about her.

Although the story of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl never happened, if such a thing had actually occurred, she might have really done it.

What really caught the attention of the Queen Mother of the West was the description of her in the book: "She used a hairpin to part the Milky Way—that's quite a clever idea."

Of course, it's unlikely to be cut open with a hairpin, but it's possible with a sword.

The Queen Mother of the West drew inspiration from this and comprehended the divine power of shattering galaxies with a sword, thus advancing her cultivation to a new level.

This unexpected joy also made the Queen Mother of the West more tolerant of the kind of books Lingyi was reading.

However, she soon discovered that Lingyi had not been reading such stories recently, but rather the documents and regulations of the celestial realm, as well as many cases of punishment for violating the heavenly rules.

Upon seeing this, the Queen Mother of the West realized that something was amiss.

Lingyi used to hate these rules and regulations, but now she reads them every day.

Moreover, the cases she found were all related to love between gods and mortals.

In this era, there are also many immortals and gods in the human world.

If you stay in the human world for a long time, you will naturally have interactions with ordinary people. With more interactions, feelings will naturally develop.

Immortals are not all detached from worldly desires and diligently cultivate the Tao; they also have the seven emotions and six desires that humans have.

Essentially, they are just more powerful people.

With so many gods and immortals living together in the human world for thousands of years, stories of love between gods and immortals are bound to happen.

Based on the case records, they can be roughly divided into three levels according to the circumstances.

The first tier involves falling in love with a mortal, but without engaging in any physical intimacy. The punishment is one hundred lashes. As long as the relationship ends later, the person can retain their position, but cannot be promoted for a hundred years.

The second category is those who have illicit relations with mortals and become husband and wife. The punishment is five hundred lashes, removal from their post, and being relegated to low-ranking menial jobs for five hundred years, during which time they cannot descend to the mortal realm.

The third category involves marrying a mortal and using one's divine authority to provide them with undue assistance. This is the most severe punishment, which includes not only being dismissed from one's position but also being subjected to daily torture.

It can take anywhere from a hundred years to a thousand or ten thousand years.

What is Lingyi trying to do by looking at these things every day?

The Queen Mother of the West was a perceptive person, and she quickly connected the dots to that day, when Lingyi was also very reluctant to return to the Immortal Realm.

Thinking of this, the Queen Mother of the West immediately became nervous.

She was worried that Lingyi had developed worldly desires.

So she went to test it herself, and she actually found out.

Lingyi was young after all, and she was no match for the Queen Mother of the West.

Upon receiving this result, the Queen Mother of the West was devastated. She immediately placed Lingyi under house arrest and interrogated her two sisters separately about the identity of the man.

At this time, the Queen Mother of the West saw everyone as an accomplice of mortals, especially Bixia.

This is why Lingyi disappeared after arriving in the Immortal Realm.

She has been locked up for more than half a month.

Having reviewed Bixia's letter, the Queen Mother of the West temporarily set aside her suspicions about Bixia.

These past few days, she's tried everything, both soft and hard tactics, but Linglin insists she knows nothing, and Lingyi refuses to reveal who the man is. The Queen Mother of the West is at her wits' end.

Bixia and Linglin were busy with official duties, while Lingyi often patrolled the mountains. They might not know what she was doing.

Thinking of this, the Queen Mother of the West sent someone to lift Ling Lin's confinement and gave her this letter, asking her to deliver it to Ling Yi.

This is yet another new trick; she wants to see if the two sisters will let something slip if they get along.

Linglin was overjoyed to learn that her confinement had been lifted and that she could visit Lingyi again.

She excitedly ran to Lingyi's residence, which was heavily guarded and heavily fortified; with Lingyi's strength, there was no way she could escape.

She was only able to enter with the Queen Mother of the West's token.

The two sisters were so excited when they met that they hugged each other, laughing and crying at the same time.

"I'm sorry, I've dragged you into this mess and you've been locked up for so long."

Lingyi felt very guilty. She didn't mind being locked up, but she felt very sorry for Linglin.

Linglin shook her head and said, "We sisters are one, sharing honor and disgrace. Why say such things?"

Sister, don't be too sad. Mother was just angry for a moment. Go and apologize to her, and she will forgive you.

"I will never admit my mistake!"

Lingyi's eyes widened, and she exchanged a glance with Linglin, finally understanding why she said that.

Linglin wasn't there to persuade her; he was just reminding her that things might not be safe right now.

The two sisters are of one mind; a few simple words are enough for them to understand each other's thoughts.

From birth, the two of them had a strange connection, able to sense each other's inner feelings.

However, no one else knew, including their parents.

At this moment, the two sisters began to act.

Ling Lin began to act as a mediator, trying to get Ling Yi to reveal who she had fallen for, but Ling Yi naturally refused to say.

After several unsuccessful attempts to pull at each other, Linglin finally said, "Let's not talk about this for now. Sister Bixia wrote us a letter. Take a look!"

I will plead with my mother. Whatever you want, I will bring it to you next time I visit.

This is asking her if she needs any help.

Lingyi and Linglin were in perfect sync; at this moment, her intelligence reached its peak.

"I'm a bit bored here. Bring me those storybooks you brought from the human world."

"it is good."

After Linglin agreed, she went to pay her respects to the Queen Mother of the West and asked to retrieve Lingyi's book.

The Queen Mother of the West was still angry and refused to let her bring the book to Lingyi.

"Make her write back to Bixia properly and reflect on her actions. For the next hundred years, she won't be allowed to leave that room!"

The Queen Mother of the West finally understood.

She didn't really need to find out who Lingyi liked, since she was pretty sure it was a mortal.

Since we are mortals, we probably won't live past a hundred years old.

After Guan Lingyi's death a century ago, this matter naturally passed.

This is the price Lingyi pays for refusing to tell the truth.

If Lingyi were to confess, she could naturally avoid a century of house arrest.

In any case, she would never allow Lingyi to marry a mortal.

Hearing this, Linglin couldn't help but worry about Lingyi.

But she had no choice; in this family, no one could control the Queen Mother of the West, not even the King Father of the East.

She had to figure it out herself.

Linglin went to see the Eastern King Duke under the pretense of pleading for her sister. The Eastern King Duke couldn't resist his daughter's pleas for help and agreed to talk to the Western Queen Mother to see if she could be released from house arrest.

The lower realm is impossible.

Lingyi was still delighted and urged Dongwanggong to plead for mercy immediately. Dongwanggong had no choice but to comply.

As soon as the Eastern King left, Linglin began browsing the documents in the study.

Unlike Lingyi, who was searching blindly, Linglin had worked as a document manager in Mount Tai for a period of time, so she naturally knew where to look for relevant records.

The library mainly contains various scriptures, with only a few celestial rules and case studies.

The actual place where the documents are stored is in the archives of the Eastern King's Study.

The Eastern King Duke and the Western Queen Mother are in charge of male and female immortals respectively, so the records of every male and female immortal can be found here.

It can be said that the Twin Saints possess the most complete archives of the gods in Heaven.

Linglin knew what Lingyi needed.

What she wanted wasn't the storybook itself, but rather to use it to send a message to Linglin.

They initially discussed the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl the most, and coincidentally, in the story of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, it was also the Queen Mother of the West who prevented the main characters from being together.

In the story, the protagonists are able to meet with the help of magpies.

Lingyi needs her to act as a magpie, helping her find a way to meet or be with Lin Yi.

This is the tacit understanding between sisters. Lingyi's words made Linglin know her thoughts.

This led to Ling Lin's subsequent series of actions.

After reviewing numerous files, Linglin finally found the answer.

Humans and gods cannot unite; this is an ironclad law of heaven.

However, there are examples of human-divine unions recorded in the archives.

Ling Lin's record was found in the discarded registers.

This book records various cases of people being expelled from the celestial realm for violating heavenly rules.

Those who are entered into this file will never be able to ascend to immortality unless granted a special pardon by the Great Heavenly Venerable.

Even if one achieves success in cultivation after reincarnation, one cannot return to the Immortal Realm.

Most of these people made serious mistakes, but there are also some cases where it was because they fell in love with someone.

Humans and gods cannot be together; as long as one does not become a god, that is sufficient.
