I am a fairy in Journey to the West

Chapter 102: Li Bishahan Zhongli responds to the disaster and captures the Nine Spirits Immortal at Yankong Mountain

The next day, Zhuang Yan walked out of his own monastery early in the morning. Asoru, the pure celestial being beside the Buddha Mother Cundi, was already waiting outside the monastery.

"Good morning, Lord Lingtai." Upon seeing Zhuang Yan coming out, Asuoyi stepped forward to greet him immediately.

Zhuang Yan saw Asuo, smiled and asked, "When did you come?"

Asuo said, "I just came here on the orders of the Bodhisattva to invite the God to the Jingshan Hall for a vegetarian feast."

Zhuang Yan smiled and said, "Go and report to the Bodhisattva and tell him that I have thanked him and will not be attending the banquet. I have something to deal with here."

Upon hearing this, Asuo said, "Excuse me for being so rude, but may I ask if the Lord of Gods is going to leave Vaishali?"

"That's right." Zhuang Yan looked at Asuo and said, "Just report to the Bodhisattva and tell him that I'm going to deal with the matters related to the Eight Immortals' calamity."

Asuoyi bowed and said, "I will remember this."

"Yeah." Zhuang Yan nodded, then turned into a ray of fairy light and disappeared into the sky.

Three hours later, Zhuang Yan arrived at Yankong Mountain in Duqu Prefecture. He saw evil spirit swirling here, condensing and not dispersing, indicating that there must be a big monster in the mountain.

Zhuang Yan flew to the top of Yankong Mountain and heard singing coming from the distance at the foot of the mountain, so he flew down.

I saw a man with his chest exposed, holding a palm-leaf fan, sitting on a rock and singing loudly. It was Zhongli Quan, one of the Eight Immortals.

Zhuang Yan landed in front of Zhongli Quan and said with a smile, "Fellow Daoist, please be at ease."

When Zhongli Quan saw Zhuang Yan, he quickly stood up and pulled Zhuang Yan, saying, "Oh, I thought no one would come. Now that you, the Spiritual Platform God, are here, I can rest assured."

At this point, Zhongli Quan rolled his eyes and rolled over. Zhuang Yan quickly held him up and asked, "Daoyou Zhongli, what are you doing?"

Zhongli Quan was pale and barely breathing. He had lost all the energy he had when singing. He stared at Zhuang Yan and said tremblingly, "Lord Lingtai, now that you are here, I can die with peace of mind."

Zhuang Yan said, "Finish your words before you die."

Zhongli Quan said, "There is a big monster in Yankong Mountain. It came from the sky. It has killed many monks just to make the elixir. I fought with it, but it tricked me and sucked my magic power and blood. I have to rely on the yang energy to survive. Now that you are here, I am dead."

Finally, Zhongli Quan said, "I've finished what I wanted to say." As soon as he finished speaking, Zhongli Quan's pupils dilated, his vitality was quickly exhausted, and his soul went to a mysterious place in an instant.

"."Zhuang Yan looked at Zhongli Quan's body and had to put it down. Then he raised his hand and waved it. A beam of fire shot up and instantly burned Zhongli Quan's body into ashes.

Afterwards, Zhuang Yan looked up at the Yankong Mountain above his head, then turned into a beam of light and flew into the mountain.

Soon Zhuang Yan found a cave in the mountains. Outside the cave, he saw two plant boys guarding the gate. They were obviously plant spirits who had just been enlightened.

Zhuang Yan walked straight forward, and the two grass boys immediately stepped forward to stop Zhuang Yan and said, "This is the immortal master's temple, outsiders are not allowed to approach."

"Children should not be rude." A clear voice came from the cave. A moment later, a fairy with a fairy-like figure and delicate face walked out of the cave holding a whisk in her hand.

The two boys immediately stepped aside, and the female immortal stepped forward and bowed, saying, "I am Jiuling, and I am honored to meet the Lord of the Spiritual Platform."

Zhuang Yan bowed and said, "Supreme Nine Spirits, why are you here instead of cultivating on the three islands of the Ten Continents?"

It turns out that this Taoist Jiuling is also a celestial being. No wonder Zhongli Quan said that she came from heaven.

Taoist Jiuling smiled slightly, turned around and invited, "God, please come in and talk."

Zhuang Yan followed Taoist Jiuling into the cave, only to see that the interior of the cave was very simple, with only a main hall and a furnace in the center. Several fairies who had mastered the art of refining the void were fanning the fire beside the furnace.

Taoist Jiuling led Zhuang Yan to sit on the wooden couch against the wall on the right side of the cave, and then personally made a cup of tea for Zhuang Yan.

Zhuang Yan looked at the steaming teacup in front of him, then raised his eyes and said, "Daoist Han Zhongli died at the foot of the mountain."

Taoist Jiuling smiled and said, "That is his fate."

Zhuang Yan said, "But Daoist Fellow Han Zhongli said that it was you who drained his mana and blood. How should the Immortal explain this?"

"Does he have any evidence to support what he said?" Taoist Jiuling asked with a smile.

Zhuang Yan smiled and said, "You are a high-ranking immortal enjoying the honors of heaven, but now you have descended to the mortal world as a demon. What evidence do you need?"

Taoist Jiuling laughed loudly and said, "You are wrong, Lord God. I did not come to the lower world to be a demon. I came to the lower world to help fellow Buddhists to face the calamity."

"Facing calamity? Aren't you refining the elixir of relics? Are you trying to avoid calamity for yourself?" Zhuang Yan said.

"Hahaha." Taoist Jiuling laughed. She picked up the teacup and took a sip, then asked Zhuang Yan, "Is there any problem with this? The great Buddhist and demonic calamity has brought many monks into the calamity. They are all going to die anyway, so the relics that have been cultivated with great difficulty cannot be wasted. I help them to face the calamity, and they give me the relics to help me avoid the calamity. Isn't this great?"

"Besides, I didn't harm any living creatures. It was Zhongli Quan who was meddling in other people's business. Why would he, a Taoist immortal, help those monks? Now that he is dead, it is his due." "Lord Lingtai, do you think I am right?"

Zhuang Yan said, "Then, Immortal, have you ever thought that your tribulations are the same as theirs, they are all predestined by heaven and you will have to face them in the end."

When Taoist Jiuling heard this, his face changed and he slammed the teacup in his hand onto the table, spilling the tea all over the floor.

"No!" Taoist Jiuling stood up and said, "We shouldn't have had any disasters. The Queen Mother's Peach Festival and the Jade Emperor's Dan Yuan Conference were all events for us to avoid disasters. But since that monkey came out, everything is gone. It's all that monkey's fault!"

"If it weren't for the Five Jiedis watching over it, how could the monkey live so freely at the foot of the mountain?"

"We have made contributions to the Heavenly Court since ancient times. No matter what disaster comes, it will not be our turn!"

"We shouldn't accept the disaster, and we can't accept the disaster."

Zhuang Yan said, "Anyone can die, but you can't die, right?"

“Yes.” Taoist Jiuling’s jade eyes were slightly red. She looked at Zhuang Yan and said, “Lingtai Shenjun, a deity with a real job like the Eight Immortals, will reincarnate several times after death. When he comes back, he should be of the same rank.”

"But we are different. Once we enter the cycle of reincarnation, we don't even know in which life we ​​will be able to return to the immortal path. Even if we do, there will be no place for us in heaven."

"Today, the Heavenly Court no longer has the official rank of 'Sanxian Ronglu', so even if we come back to cultivate in the future, we will only be a casual cultivator in the world."

At this point, she looked at Zhuang Yan and said, "Lord Lingtai, I once saw you use a pottery jar to subdue Sun Wukong. I know your magical powers, but please have mercy on us old immortals who have survived from ancient times. We are also innocent."

Zhuang Yan looked at her pleading eyes and couldn't help but sigh and said, "How about this, you come back to Lingtai Divine Mansion with me first?"

Hearing this, Taoist Jiu Ling's eyes narrowed slightly, then nodded and said, "Okay, in that case, let me clean up here."

Zhuang Yan also stood up and said, "Then I'll go wait outside." Then he turned and walked out of the cave.

However, at the moment Zhuang Yan turned around, Taoist Jiuling suddenly formed seals with his hands, and two red lights emitted from his eyes.

The next moment, Zhuang Yan suddenly turned into an afterimage, and then a red light appeared above the afterimage, and the afterimage instantly disintegrated.

But Zhuang Yan disappeared. Seeing this, Taoist Jiuling was shocked and retreated quickly.

At the moment she stepped back, a fist suddenly hit her, and with a "bang", the fist hit Jiuling Taoist's back of the head heavily.

Taoist Jiuling only had time to let out a muffled groan before he fell face down on the ground with a thump, raising a cloud of dust, and instantly passed out.

Zhuang Yan retracted his fist and looked at the stunned goblin who was fanning the fire beside the alchemy furnace.

The next moment, the goblins rushed forward, knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "Grandpa, spare us, Grandpa, spare us. We were all detained by the Nine Spirits Immortal to fan the fire and look after the alchemy furnace. Her harm to those monks has nothing to do with us."

Zhuang Yan used his Cave Heaven True Eyes to scan around and found that these monsters did not have much evil spirit, so he said, "Since they have not done any evil, then go. Remember, cultivate well in the future and do not harm others."

"Yes, yes, thank you grandpa, thank you grandpa." The goblins kowtowed repeatedly to express their gratitude, then quickly got up and ran out of the cave.

The next moment, the two grass boys ran in, looked at Zhuang Yan and said, "Monster, let the queen go."

Zhuang Yan laughed and said, "Why don't you two run away? How dare you come back?"

The two grass boys rolled up their sleeves and walked forward, saying aggressively: "We were enlightened by the Nine Spirits Goddess, so we naturally have to protect her. I advise you to let her go quickly, otherwise we will not tolerate her with our fists."

Zhuang Yan laughed and said, "Well, let's play rock-paper-scissors. If you win, I will release your queen. If you lose, you must go back to the mountains and practice well. You are not allowed to leave the mountain unless necessary."

The two grass boys looked at each other, then said to Zhuang Yan, "Okay, it's a deal."

"It's a deal." Zhuang Yan said with a smile, and then the two sides started playing rock-paper-scissors. In Zhuang Yan's eyes, the speed of the two children's punches could be slowed down to the extreme. He just waited for the moment when their punches were formed, and then Zhuang Yan punched out immediately and won easily.

When the two boys saw that they had lost, they immediately knelt on the ground and cried, kowtowed three times to Taoist Jiuling, and then ran out of the cave crying.

Afterwards, Zhuang Yan raised his hand and destroyed the alchemy furnace in the cave. Dozens of fairy lights flew out of the furnace and then turned into dozens of relics shining with fairy light.

This relic belongs to a high-ranking Buddhist monk. I didn’t expect that this Taoist Jiuling had killed so many high-ranking Buddhist monks.

Zhuang Yan said to these relics, "Fellow Daoists, please go and find your place of reincarnation."

Those relics swayed slightly in the air, then flew out of the cave and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Finally, Zhuang Yan brought Taoist Jiuling out of the cave, transformed into a ray of fairy light and flew into the sky, heading straight for the first heaven.
