I am a fairy in Journey to the West

Chapter 11 Lan Caihe is injured, Jin Chanzi rescues him

However, Lan Caihe was looking for an opportunity by performing divination, and he came to the Dark Gold Cave of Duzang Mountain, where he was shocked on the spot.

I saw that the pile of rocks outside the cave was covered with broken human bones, and the dry wood on the cliff was covered with human skins.

Lan Caihe was furious, "What a demon! He has killed so many people."

After saying that, he raised his hand and made a magic gesture. Suddenly, a huge tree rose up from the rocky ground outside the cave and smashed into the dark golden cave roof with a "boom".

For a moment, the mountains shook, the cliffs cracked, and the rocks collapsed. The little demon guarding outside the cave was so scared that he screamed non-stop. After a moment, he stabilized his body and shouted: "Who is so bold as to dare to offend my Dark Gold Cave?!"

After a while, a burst of fairy light fell, and Lan Caihe was seen holding a flower basket and covered in fairy light and landing in front of the dark gold cave. He said to the little demon, "I am Lan Caihe, the demon-suppressing envoy of Taixuan Zhenfu. Go and ask your king to come out to see me."

When the little demon saw Lan Caihe's extraordinary aura and divine light, he immediately said, "Wait here for a moment. I will go and report to the king."

At this time, in the Dark Gold Cave, the Demon King, who had eaten and drunk his fill, was about to rest when suddenly the ground shook and the cave hall was covered with stone dust. He immediately shouted angrily, "What's going on?"

Several demon generals looked at each other in bewilderment and were about to go out to investigate when they saw the gatekeeper demon running in and reporting, "My king, there is a man named Lan Caihe outside the cave, claiming to be the demon-suppressing envoy of the Taixuan Zhenfu, and he wants you to go see him."

"Lan Caihe?"

"The Eight Immortals of the Upper Cave?"

Hearing this name, the demon generals below reacted immediately. The one who received the reward, Biyi Luoma, said immediately: "Your Majesty, it must be the land gods of those villages who reported to the Heavenly Court."

The demon king was very calm, and just smiled coldly and said, "Let alone Lan Caihe, even if all the Eight Immortals of the Upper Cave came, I would not take them seriously."

After saying that, the demon king stood up and said, "Come with me to meet him."

The demon generals sang in greeting and then walked out of the cave with the demon king.

The demon king walked out of the cave with a group of demon generals, and saw the handsome and graceful Lan Caihe at a glance.

Lan Caihe also saw the appearance of the demon king clearly. What surprised Lan Caihe in particular was that there was a trace of Buddha's spirit in the demon king.

Lan Caihe's expression immediately became serious. He bowed his head and said, "I am Lan Caihe, the demon-suppressing envoy of the Human Division of Taixuan Zhenfu. I am honored to meet the king."

The demon king also bowed and said to Lan Caihe, "Master, you have come to my Dark Gold Cave. I wonder what you have to say to me?"

Lan Caihe asked, "May I ask, Your Majesty, are the people from the three villages in the town below Lingtai Mountain here with Your Majesty?"

The demon king said: "Yes, those people are indeed in my cave."

Lan Caihe said: "Your Majesty, eating living beings with blood is against the harmony of nature. Please release all these mortals."

The demon king said: "These mortals have committed serious sins. Eating their blood is a way for them to cleanse their sins and escape from the cycle of reincarnation. How can this harm the harmony of heaven? True people should not be attached to appearances."

Lan Caihe said in a firm tone: "As the demon-suppressing envoy of the Heavenly Court, I have received the decree and have a mission. Please let these mortals go."

The demon king said calmly: "Master, please don't force others to do things that are difficult for you."

Lan Caihe said: "If the king is unwilling to release me, don't blame me for offending you." As he spoke, Lan Caihe raised his right hand lightly and instantly made a finger gesture.

The demon king laughed loudly, and a flash of black flame appeared behind him, and two golden wings appeared in an instant.

The demon king flapped his golden wings and flew up into the sky, looking down at Lan Caihe and said, "Then I want to see what magical powers you have!"

Hearing this, Lan Caihe no longer hesitated, and with a gesture of his fingers, he saw the "Ten Thousand Trees in the Duzang Mountain" sprouting, and countless trees and green vines grew out from the ground, covering the entire Dark Gold Cave in a green area. Needless to say, the little monsters were instantly entangled and sealed by the vines. As for the monster generals, they took out their weapons and chopped with knives and axes, but they could not hurt the vines at all, and they were also entangled and sealed in the blink of an eye.

Then, thousands of soft trees formed a formation from all directions, growing hundreds of feet high and covering the demon king.

The demon king was not in a hurry when seeing this. He just flapped the golden wings on his back, and fierce flames gushed out all over the sky, burning all the soft wood in an instant.

Lan Caihe was startled, and immediately grabbed a Luoshen flower from the basket and threw it to the Demon King. The Luoshen flower was blown away by the wind and turned into dozens of green and red fairy lights that killed the Demon King.

The green and red fairy light pierced through the sky and broke through the clouds, with the power to shatter mountains and split the earth. In the blink of an eye, it arrived before the demon king.

The demon king did not dodge or evade, but just clapped his hands towards the dozens of green and red fairy lights. There was a loud bang, and ripples appeared between the demon king's palms. The dozens of green and red fairy lights were actually shattered by the demon king's hands.

Lan Caihe's pupils shrank, and he formed seals and cast a spell again, but he saw the demon king flapping his wings behind him, and the next moment the protective fairy light on Lan Caihe's body shattered in an instant.

Then the demon king's right hand turned into a sharp golden claw, which pierced through Lan Caihe's back with a "puff" sound and came out from his chest.

Lan Caihe's "immortal jade body" was as fragile as tofu in front of these sharp claws.

Lan Caihe spat out a mouthful of blood, let out a scream, and dropped the flower basket in his hand. But soon the seal on Lan Caihe's right hand suddenly changed, and his body immediately turned into a green light and escaped into the forest below, disappearing without a trace in the blink of an eye.

"Your Majesty, he escaped." The demon general Biyi Luo said hurriedly.

The demon king sneered and said, "Lan Caihe is the image of Xun wood. As long as he has wood energy, he can escape infinitely. Wait until I burn this forest and he will have nowhere to hide."

After saying this, the demon king opened his mouth and spewed out a divine fire, which burned towards the mountains and forests hundreds of miles below. But at this moment, a ray of Buddha's light suddenly fell and instantly extinguished the divine fire spewed out by the demon king.

The demon king was startled and quickly retracted his divine fire and turned to look in the direction of the Buddha's light.

A young monk wearing a cassock, with a solemn and handsome appearance, came on a cloud and said to the demon king from a distance: "Garuda, do not harm the immortal official."

It turns out that this demon king is actually the mount of 'Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva', the golden-winged divine bird 'Garuda'.

When Garuda saw the person coming, he quickly put his hands together and bowed, saying, "It turns out to be Elder Jinchan. Disciple Garuda greets you."

Jin Chanzi came up to Garuda and asked, "The immortal just now seemed to be Lan Caihe, one of the Eight Immortals of the Upper Cave? Why did you fight with him?"

Upon hearing this, Garuda immediately said, "Replying to Elder Jinchan, I have been practicing in the cave recently, and that Master Lan Caihe came to my house to arrest me for no apparent reason. I did nothing wrong, but he picked a fight with me for no reason, so we started a fight."

When Jin Chanzi heard this, he glanced towards the Duzang Mountain below. Because Lan Caihe had shaken the mountain mansion previously, all the human bones and skins were buried under stones and soil.

Although Jin Chanzi was confused, he still said, "If there is any misunderstanding, just talk it out. Don't hurt anyone, and don't hurt the immortal officials in the heavenly court."

"Yes, yes, yes." Garuda said repeatedly: "Disciple follows the elder's teachings. May I ask what instructions you have for me?"

Jin Chanzi smiled and said, "I was invited by the Great Immortal Zhenyuan to attend the Sutra Altar Meeting at Wuzhuang Temple. I happened to pass by here and saw you fighting with Master Lan Caihe, so I came down to persuade them to mediate."

"I see." Jialuo heaved a sigh of relief and said quickly, "Please rest assured, Elder Jinchan, I will not embarrass Lan Caihe anymore. Elder, please go to the meeting quickly. If you miss the time, it will be my fault."

Jin Chanzi nodded and said, "Good, good." After that, Jin Chanzi turned into a golden light and disappeared into the sky.

Watching Jin Chanzi go away, Jialuo Luo's kind and humble face suddenly changed into a vicious and fierce one. He turned around and said to the demon generals, "Go, capture the land gods of the three villages in that town and the Lingtai Mountain God. These people must have reported this to the Heavenly Court. I want to let them know whether the Heavenly Court has the final say in Xiniu Hezhou or the Buddhist sect has the final say."

Upon hearing this, all the demon generals immediately sang in greeting, "Yes, Your Majesty."
