I am a fairy in Journey to the West

Chapter 108 Lingshan conveys the will, and the gods show their power

Lingshan Scenic Spot, Vairocana Temple, and the Main Hall.

Mahasthamaprapta stood outside the hall, clasped his hands together and bowed to Zhuang Yan, saying, "I am here to welcome the Spiritual Platform Lord in compliance with the command of the Buddha's teachings. Spiritual Platform Lord, please come in."

Zhuang Yan said, "Please."

There are bursts of Sanskrit chanting and Buddha's light shining everywhere. Vairocana Tathagata sits high on a lotus platform with a solemn appearance and infinite compassion.

When Zhuang Yan entered the hall, all the Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, Arhats and Vajras turned their heads to look at him.

Zhuang Yan said, neither servile nor overbearing, "Your Majesty, I am here at the order of the Jade Emperor to report the incident at Chenxianwu to the Buddhist sect."

Then Zhuang Yan took out a roll of jade silk from his sleeve. Immediately, a celestial being flew down, took the jade silk from Zhuang Yan's hand, and then presented it to Vairocana Tathagata.

The Great Sun Tathagata took the jade and read it carefully, then said, "I understand the Jade Emperor's order, Cundi Buddha Mother."

Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva stood up and bowed, saying, "Disciple is here."

The Great Sun Tathagata said: "You should immediately follow the Spiritual Platform God to Chenxianwu and call back the two Bodhisattvas, Vajra Fist and Vajra Hand."

Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva said, "May I ask my Buddha, if the two Bodhisattvas cannot be summoned back, what should be done?"

The Great Sun Tathagata said: "If you cannot call him back, you will help capture him together with the Spiritual Platform God. Do not let him stop the Heavenly Court from suppressing the rebellion."

After saying this, Vairocana Tathagata gave a decree, which fell in front of Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva.

Guanyin Bodhisattva accepted the command, then bowed and said, "Disciple will obey the command."

Zhuang Yan also bowed and said, "Thank you, Venerable Dainichi."

Afterwards, Zhuang Yan and Avalokitesvara bid farewell to Vairocana Tathagata, left the Vairocana Temple, left Lingshan, and headed all the way to Chenxianwu.

On the way, Zhuang Yan asked, "Bodhisattva, how is Luo Mo?"

Avalokitesvara said with a smile: "Rāma has been ordained in Vaisravana and formally accepted as a disciple of the Buddha. He is now traveling with the Buddha to the Western Niuhe Continent."

"Have all the Bodhisattvas gone back?" Zhuang Yan asked again.

Avalokitesvara nodded and said, "After the ordination ceremony in Vaisravana, the Buddha gave lectures in Vaisravana for seven consecutive days. After the celebration, everyone returned to their respective temples."

At this point, Guanyin Bodhisattva sighed and said, "It's a pity that our Buddhist sect suffered heavy losses in this catastrophe. Only more than a hundred of the three thousand Zen temples in Xiniu Hezhou are left, and all the immortal monks in the world have died in the catastrophe. Now there are less than a hundred monks above the Earthly Immortal Realm left."

"So tragic?" Zhuang Yan said in surprise.

Bodhisattva Cundi nodded and said, "Now Buddhism is declining in Xiniuhezhou, and demons are flourishing. That is why the World Honored One Amitabha took the demons with him to spread the Dharma and teach sentient beings."

Zhuang Yan asked again: "What about the other three continents?"

Bodhisattva Cundi said: "Uttarakuru and Dongsheng Shenzhou are fine, but Jambudvīpa is also affected by the catastrophe and the situation is very unfavorable."

Zhuang Yan said: “I didn’t expect this Buddha-Devil Great Tribulation to have such a huge impact. I don’t know when it will end.”

Guanyin Bodhisattva said: "The great catastrophe will inevitably last for a hundred years. It is difficult to end in a few months or one or two years."

"Yeah." Zhuang Yan nodded slightly.

As they were talking, they had arrived at Chenxianwu. Seeing the river emitting black air in the distance, Zhuang Yan said, "Is that the Ruoshui River?"

Bodhisattva Zhunti smiled and said, "Yes, that is the Weak Water River. The Weak Water River is a domain of its own. It is difficult for gods and immortals to cross it. Once you enter its domain, you will be eroded by the Weak Water River and sink to the bottom of the water. Not only will it destroy your physical body, but it will also damage your foundation of Taoism. Even if you reincarnate and cultivate again, it will be difficult to recover your former glory without a great opportunity."

Zhuang Yan asked curiously, "Can't you even save the Bodhisattva?"

Guanyin Bodhisattva shook his head and said, "No."

At this time, the two flew to Chenxianwu. Nezha had ordered the heavenly soldiers and generals to deploy their troops, and the rebels on the opposite side were led by Yang Xian. On the left were the Great Immortal Hunlei, the Immortal Qiongxia, and the Immortal Wulu, and on the right were the two Bodhisattvas, Vajra Fist and Vajrapani.

"Nezha, the Third Prince, why don't you attack yet? Are you scared?" The Great Immortal Hun Lei held thunder in both hands and shouted at Nezha.

Nezha smiled coldly and said, "Don't be so arrogant, you old fool. I will catch you first later."

"Why wait a while, not now? What are you afraid of, Third Prince?" Immortal Hun Lei asked again.

Nezha looked at the Bodhisattvas Vajra Fist and Vajra Hand and said, "Bodhisattvas, why are you helping the tyrant and colluding with this group of rebels?"

Vajrapani Bodhisattva put his hands together and said, "Third Prince, we two have a favor to pay. Please forgive us."

Nezha didn't say anything else, but turned around and looked behind him.

At this time, a celestial general reported: "Reporting to the Marshal, Lingtai Divine Lord and Zhunti Buddha Mother Bodhisattva have arrived."

Nezha's eyes suddenly lit up, and he quickly said, "Please come in."

The heavenly general took the order, and a moment later Zhuang Yan and Avalokitesvara came to the front of the army. Nezha was furious when he saw Zhuang Yan's face, but now was not the time to fool around as the two armies were facing each other.

So Nezha just glared at Zhuang Yan, then bowed to the Bodhisattva Cundi and said, "Greetings to the Bodhisattva Cundi."

Marshal Deng and a group of heavenly generals in the rear also came to pay their respects, and Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva returned the greeting with a smile and folded his hands.

Seeing the arrival of Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, Vajrapani Bodhisattva and Vajrapani Fist Bodhisattva were slightly startled. At this time, Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva turned around, took out the Dharma Order of Mahavairocana Tathagata from his sleeve, and said loudly: "My two Taoist friends, I follow the Dharma Order of the World Honored Mahavairocana Tathagata to call you two back to Lingshan. If you two Taoist friends can return to the right path now, I will forgive you for what you did."

Hearing this, the Vajra Fist Bodhisattva put his hands together and said, "Fellow Daoist Zhunti, please report to the Buddha that the two of us are helping fellow Daoists Feng and Yang this time because of human feelings and promises. We cannot give up halfway if the matter is not accomplished. Therefore, the two of us cannot return to Lingshan with the fellow Daoists. After the matter here is completed, the two of us will go to the Heavenly Palace to confess our sins."

Guanyin Bodhisattva asked, "Do you two Taoist friends really not want to return to Lingshan?"

The two Bodhisattvas, Vajra Fist and Vajra Hand, said firmly, "No."

"Okay." Zhunti Bodhisattva said, "The Buddha has decreed that if you two Taoist friends are unwilling to return to Lingshan, then I will capture you two Taoist friends. This time, I will have a fight with you two Taoist friends."

After saying this, Guanyin Bodhisattva said to Nezha: "Third Prince Nezha, fellow Taoists Vajrapani and Vajra Fist will be handed over to me and Lingtai Shenjun."

Nezha had been waiting impatiently for a long time, and immediately said after hearing this: "I feel relieved with the Bodhisattva's words."

After saying this, Nezha directly revealed his three-headed, six-armed form, and with a command, he led the heavenly soldiers and generals to attack.

Over there, the Great Immortal Hun Lei summoned thunder, the Immortal Wu Lu performed the Nine Palaces Magic, and the Immortal Qiong Xia sacrificed the Nine Xia Emei Spear.

For a moment, thunder rumbled in all directions, immortal light shone brightly in the sky, and divine light was so bright that it blocked out the sun and the moon.

As soon as the Nine Palaces magic was used, the Giant Spirit, Marshal Deng, the seventy-two Earthly Generals and ten thousand heavenly soldiers were immediately taken into the Nine Palaces maze.

Seeing the familiar Nine Palaces Maze in front of him, Marshal Deng quickly said: "This is the Nine Palaces Maze. There are endless clay mercenary generals and soldiers in it. It is extremely difficult to deal with."

The giant spirit god appeared in a thousand-foot-tall form, holding a huge Xuanhua axe in his hand. With just one axe, he killed all the clay mercenary generals and soldiers.

Then another axe was used to smash the inner maze of the entire Nine Palaces Maze. In an instant, no mud mercenary generals or mud mercenary soldiers appeared in the Nine Palaces Maze.

At this time, the seventy-two Earthly Fiend generals also listed the positions of the Earthly Fiend stars, and instantly forced out the center of the Nine Palaces maze. When the giant spirit saw the center of the formation, he stepped forward and smashed it to pieces with an axe.

The center of the formation was broken, and the Nine Palaces maze was instantly broken, and the giant spirit, Marshal Deng, the seventy-two earthly evil spirits, and ten thousand heavenly soldiers all appeared.

The Nine Palaces Maze of the Wu Lu Immortal was broken, and he spat out a mouthful of blood. When he came to his senses, he found that he had been surrounded by heavenly soldiers and generals.

At this time, the giant spirit raised the Xuanhua axe, and Marshal Deng shouted hurriedly: "Wait, we must capture him alive and spare his life."

Upon hearing this, the giant spirit retracted his axe immediately. There was no need for the heavenly generals to step forward at this time. More than a hundred heavenly soldiers rushed forward to besiege the area, and then captured the Wu Lu Immortal alive.

On the other side, the thirty-six Tiangang generals rushed forward, and the Nine-xia Emei Spear of the Immortal Qiongxia only lasted less than ten breaths before it was smashed into pieces by the weapons of the thirty-six Tiangang generals. Then the Immortal Qiongxia was also captured in one fell swoop. The whole process took no more than forty breaths.

As for the Immortal Hun Lei, seeing him holding the thunderbolt in his hand and activating the thunderbolt to strike down, the Tian Gang Yuan Chen 'Chen Long' among the Twelve Yuan Chens flew up, formed seals with both hands and shouted loudly, and immediately broke the thunderbolt of the Immortal Hun Lei.

The Great Immortal Hun Lei was greatly surprised, while Chen Long said with a smile: "You are good at using thunder magic, but you are still a little green compared to your grandfather Chen Long."

But the Great Immortal Hun Lei was only briefly surprised, and soon he pulled out a lightning whip from his waist, swung it out, and it broke through the air with a "snap" sound and hit Chen Long.

However, at this moment, a big knife appeared in front of Chen Long, and it directly blocked the thunder whip that contained a thundering strike.

Chen Long laughed, looked at the sturdy man standing in front of him and said, "Brother Yinhu, I'll leave this old immortal to you."

The Immortal Hun Lei looked at the mighty and majestic god holding a big knife in front of him, and immediately said in a concentrated voice: "Gong Cao Yuanchen, Yinhu!"

Yin Hu turned around, looked at the Immortal Hun Lei and said, "Since you know my name, why don't you come down?"

The Great Immortal Hun Lei laughed and said, "How dare you be so arrogant, little tiger? Watch me smash your tiger whip with my thunder whip!"

Yinhu's tone sank, and he said, "Rude words and vulgar language are not in the true flow. Watch out for the knife."

"Buzz" Yinhu swung his sword, the air shook, and the next moment Yinhu leaped up and disappeared between heaven and earth in an instant.

The Great Immortal Hun Lei's expression condensed slightly, and he immediately swung his thunder whip, forming a thunder net barrier around himself.

But at the moment when the barrier was formed, a deep and deep voice appeared above his head: "Bang!"

Daoguang fell heavily, and the thunder net barrier shattered. The Great Immortal Hun Lei was horrified and hurriedly used the thunder whip to block it.

Yin Hu shouted again: "Break."

With a loud 'bang', the big knife slashed on the thunder whip, instantly smashing it into pieces.

Then Yinhu turned the blade sideways and smashed it hard on the body of the Great Immortal Hunlei with the back of the blade. The Great Immortal Hunlei cried out in pain and was immediately smashed away, spitting blood and being seriously injured. He was then tied up by a golden tail rope thrown by the Queen of Gods Yuanchen 'Zishu'.

As the Immortal Hun Lei was tied up, he was seen spitting blood and was unconscious. The Rat quickly shouted to the 'He Kui Yuan Chen' beside him: "Brother Xu Gou, feed him a pill of your healing pill. If he dies, we will have a hard time reporting to the mission."

Xu Gou jumped forward, pinched open the mouth of the Great Immortal Hun Lei, took out an elixir from his sleeve and gave it to him, then said with a distressed look on his face: "It's a waste to use the elixir like this."

At this time on the battlefield, the Great Immortal Hun Lei, the Supreme Immortal Qiong Xia, and the Supreme Immortal Wu Lu had all been captured. The heavenly generals retreated first, and after properly detaining the captives, they looked towards the battlefield.

I saw Nezha fighting with Yang Xian, while Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva was fighting with Vajra Fist and Vajrapani Bodhisattva. As for Zhuang Yan, he was waiting for the opportunity to take action.

Marshal Deng then issued an order: "The 72 Earthly Fiends will lead the Heavenly Soldiers to guard the battle formation, and stay behind to guard the prisoners. The 12 Yuan Chen will go to help the Great God of the Three Altars and Sea Assembly, and the Giant Spirit God and the 36 Heavenly Gangs will follow me to attack Chenxianwu."

Upon hearing this, all the heavenly soldiers and generals immediately nodded and said, "Yes."

Afterwards, the Twelve Yuanchen came out on a cloud and flew straight to the place where Nezha and Yang Xian were fighting, while Marshal Deng brought the Giant Spirit and the Thirty-Six Tiangang and attacked directly towards Chenxianwu below.
