I am a fairy in Journey to the West

Chapter 123 Everything Must Be Prepared for the Journey to the West

Zhuang Yan saw the Water Dragon Treasure Box in the Fire Spirit Immortal's hand and asked, "Did Ao Rong give this to you?"

Fire Spirit Immortal smiled and said, "My Lord, I bought this from Ao Rong for 50,000 purple coins."

"Yeah." Zhuang Yan nodded, then asked, "Are the Tiger Vanguard and Snake Vanguard not back yet?"

Fire Spirit Immortal said: "This matter may be a little tricky, it may take a day or two to complete it."

Zhuang Yan said, “Okay, when we get back, let them come to see me at the Mountain God Temple.”

The Fire Spirit Immortal responded, "Yes, Lord God."

Afterwards, Zhuang Yan turned around and entered the temple, and came to the mountain god temple. But as soon as he entered the temple, he saw the Buddha's light shining brightly in the temple, and Guanyin Bodhisattva, dressed in jade-white gauze, standing in the temple with a pure bottle in her hand.

Zhuang Yan's face froze for a moment, then he quickly stepped forward and said, "Bodhisattva? How come you have time to come to my Lingtai Divine Palace?"

Guanyin Bodhisattva smiled slightly, and her appearance was solemn and her Buddha light was holy.

Seeing Zhuang Yan coming forward, Guanyin Bodhisattva smiled and pointed at the cushion next to her, indicating Zhuang Yan to sit down.

But Zhuang Yan unexpectedly stretched out his hands, grabbed the hand extended by Guanyin Bodhisattva, then turned around and threw him over his shoulder.

With a whoosh, Guanyin Bodhisattva was thrown over Zhuang Yan's head. The moment they landed on the ground, their eyes met and Zhuang Yan showed a playful smile.

"Bang!" Guanyin Bodhisattva fell heavily to the ground, and then the holy Buddha light dissipated and turned into a weird demonic light.

Soon after, the jade-white gauze dress turned into a rose-red brocade gauze dress. It turned out that this Guanyin Bodhisattva was transformed by the magic words of the Demon Guanyin.

Miaoyu sat on the ground, gently rubbing her shoulders and back which were sore from the fall, and her pair of light pink phoenix eyes looked at Zhuang Yan in confusion.

Zhuang Yan walked forward with a smile, picked Miao Yu up from the ground, patted her on the shoulder and said with a smile: "It's easy to fool others with your tricks, but don't think you can fool me."

"Hmph." Miaoyu snorted, then took out a scroll and handed it over.

Zhuang Yan asked curiously, "What is this?"

Miaoyu was speechless and just snorted again. Zhuang Yan asked, "Is it for me?"

Miaoyu snorted, as if in response, but also as if in disdain.

Zhuang Yan took the scroll and opened it, only to see a landscape painting on it. In the middle of the landscape painting there was a very magnificent mountain, and at the foot of the mountain there was a stone tablet with the words "Linggui Mountain" written on it.

Then Zhuang Yan saw another person on the mountain. This person looked very similar to him, but he had a tortoise shell on his back with "Spirit Turtle God" written next to it.

Miao Yu pointed at the Spirit Turtle God in the painting, and then pointed at Zhuang Yan.

Zhuang Yan laughed and said, "You said I am the Spirit Turtle God?"

Mingyu nodded, then her sights flew up and she did another over-the-shoulder throw.

"Okay, I'll accept this painting. Thank you." Zhuang Yan smiled and placed the scroll on the altar beside him, then walked over to a cushion and sat down.

Miao Yu rubbed her jade arms and stood up from the ground, then walked forward to take back the scroll, then snorted at Zhuang Yan and left the Mountain God Temple.

Zhuang Yan looked at Miao Yu's departing back, smiled, and said, "You still deserve a beating."

Two days later, the Tiger Vanguard and the Snake Vanguard returned to Danchi Ridge, and then they immediately followed the order of the Fire Spirit Immortal to come to the Mountain God Temple to meet Zhuang Yan. "Lord God, you are looking for us?" The two came to the temple and bowed to Zhuang Yan.

Zhuang Yan smiled at the two of them, then pointed to the cushion on the right side of the hall and said, "Sit down. I have something for you to do."

The two of them sat down quickly, and then Zhuang Yan raised his hand and pointed at them, and a place name suddenly appeared in their minds.

Tiger Vanguard asked, "Lord God, are you asking us to go here?"

"Yes." Zhuang Yan nodded and said, "You two will go to each place, open up a cave here, and become demons."

"What?!" Tiger Vanguard and Snake Vanguard were shocked.

Chi Ling hurriedly stood up and knelt on the ground, saying, "Lord God, we have made a mistake, you should just punish us, why are you driving us away?"

Tiger Vanguard also hurried forward and knelt, saying, "Lord God, if we have done anything wrong, you can punish us however you want, but please don't drive us down the mountain."

After saying this, the two of them kowtowed and begged continuously, with tears in their eyes.

Zhuang Yan quickly stood up and helped the two of them up, then said with a smile: "It's not that you made any mistakes, nor do I want to drive you away. I just want you to do something. After you finish this thing, you two can come back."

After hearing this, the two calmed down a little, looked at Zhuang Yan and asked, "Lord God, what do you want us to do?"

Zhuang Yan said, "You two go to these two places and become demons, waiting for a monk named Tang Monk to come. Do not harm him, and certainly do not let him go. Only let him go when the time is right. Then you two will have completed your merits and can return to the mountain to receive your reward."

Hearing this, Tiger Vanguard and Snake Vanguard breathed a sigh of relief, "I see. I obey your command."

Then Tiger Vanguard asked, "Lord God, shall we leave now?"

Zhuang Yan shook his head and said, "I am only instructing you on this matter today. You will all go down the mountain in the next sixty years."

Tiger Vanguard laughed when he heard this: "Hey, so that's how it is. I was really shocked."

The Snake Vanguard also quickly wiped away his tears and said, "The Lord of Gods has been so kind to me. I have long regarded the Lord of Gods as my brother and father. If the Lord of Gods really drives me down the mountain, I will not live."

Zhuang Yan was amused by this. He reached out and patted Chi Ling on the head, then said to the two of them, "After you go down the mountain, I have only one request: 'Don't do evil.' Other than that, you can do whatever you want. Also, this matter must be kept secret and you are not allowed to mention it to anyone."

The two of them immediately bowed and said, "Yes, Lord God."

Afterwards, Zhuang Yan asked the two to leave, and then called over the Fire Spirit Immortal, and informed her in advance that the two vanguards, Tiger and Snake, would come down the mountain in the future.

Next, Zhuang Yan prepared to practice in seclusion again. The last time he listened to the Buddha preach for three hundred years, it greatly improved his realm.

During the time after the lecture, Zhuang Yan has already touched the threshold of the 'celestial realm', and the next step of his retreat is to prepare for attaining the status of celestial immortal.

At the same time, he also planned to use 'Stealing Heaven with Incense' to absorb some more Heavenly Power. The journey to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures was about to begin, but there were only 15 small items under 'Add Status', which might not be enough in the future.

Therefore, in the next hundred years, Zhuang Yan planned to practice and prepare to become a celestial being, while using incense to steal the power of heaven, and add some more small 'states'.

After arranging everything, Zhuang Yan returned to his Yunfang Taoist temple and officially began his retreat and practice.
