I am a fairy in Journey to the West

Chapter 153: Each Has His Own Owner
The first heaven, the residence of Jade Supreme Lord, the Demon-Subduing Hall.

Yun Fu, Pei Yuhan and Bai Hua Xian were standing in the main hall. Pei Yuhan and Bai Hua Xian's injuries had recovered a little, but they were also listless and looked dejected.

Zhuang Yan sat at the head of the hall and used his Cave Heaven True Eye to glance at Pei Yuhan. Pei Yuhan's body trembled, and she felt that her past and present life, flesh and blood, had all been seen through by Zhuang Yan in this one glance.

"Pei Yuhan has obsessions in his heart, but he has not been possessed by the devil." Zhuang Yan said to Liu Yan, the demon-suppressing assistant standing beside him.

Liu Yan hurriedly wrote it down. When Pei Yuhan heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief and said to Zhuang Yan, "Master Yuji, my master is Master Yuhua, and his temple is in Jukuzhou."

When Zhuang Yan heard this, he looked towards Pei Yuhan and asked with a smile, "Are you threatening me with your master?"

Pei Yuhan said, "I dare not, but you, Master, also said that I am not possessed by a demon, so I was falsely accused. Since I was falsely accused, Master, you also beat me up and brought me here in such a cruel way, shouldn't you give me an explanation?"

Zhuang Yan smiled and said, "You are indeed not possessed by a demon, but the complaint does not falsely accuse you. You do not abide by the rules and regulations, so does this wrongly accuse you?"

Pei Yuhan said: "Mr. Yunfushan and I are truly in love and we love each other."

"Really?" Zhuang Yan asked back, "Then why doesn't he marry you?"

Pei Yuhan's defense was broken by just this one sentence. Her breathing became rapid and her eyes became vague. She was helpless, angry, and a little resentful at one moment.

Finally, Pei Yuhan turned her head and looked at Yun Fu, with a questioning look in her eyes, but Yun Fu could only pretend not to see her look.

Pei Yuhan was a little disappointed, and Zhuang Yan said, "As the abbot of Laojun Temple, you do not abide by the precepts, do not respect the ancestors, and indulge in lust, which has ruined the family's reputation. This crime will be handed over to the Thunder Department for punishment later."

“Secondly, you and the Hundred Flower Fairy fought in the Heguang Divine Palace, blaspheming the divine power of heaven. This crime will also be handed over to the Ministry of Thunder.” After Zhuang Yan finished speaking, he asked Pei Yuhan, “Do you have anything else to say?”

Pei Yuhan pursed her lips tightly, and after a moment of silence, she looked up at Zhuang Yan and said, "I don't accept it."

Zhuang Yan smiled and said, "I have already given you a chance, but you didn't know how to cherish it. So don't blame the law of nature for being ruthless. As for whether you obey or not, it doesn't matter. The punishment of the Thunder Department will make you obey."

Pei Yuhan fell silent again, his expression uncertain, his eyes flickering, and no one knew what he was thinking.

If Pei Yuhan still had a hint of calmness, then Baihuaxian had completely collapsed. She just stood there crying, her eyes watering and her makeup messed up.

After all, Pei Yuhan is a Taoist practitioner and his master is a great Taoist figure, so naturally he would not be too afraid.

But the Flower Fairy is different. She was originally a flower fairy, and later she cultivated herself to become a fairy. It can be said that she has no background or support.

At this moment, she was captured by the Heavenly General for interrogation and was to be sent to the Thunder Department for punishment. One can imagine how terrified she was.

At this moment, Zhuang Yan looked towards Baihua Fairy and called out, "Baihua Fairy!"

'thump'

Bai Hua Xian knelt on the ground, clasped her hands in front of her chest, and said to Zhuang Yan with sobs, "Master, I don't want to be with Yun Fu anymore. Can you forgive me once?"

Zhuang Yan was stunned, then laughed and said, "Who you date is your own business, I have no right to interfere."

After saying this, Zhuang Yan used his magic power to send the petition to the Hundred Flower Fairy and asked, "Did you write this petition?"

Upon hearing this, Baihuaxian quickly wiped her tears with her sleeves and then looked at the petition carefully.

After reading it, Baihuaxian immediately shook her head and said, "True Lord, this is not what I wrote. Absolutely not. I swear to heaven."

"No need." Zhuang Yan raised his hand to stop her, "Why do you like to swear to the sky?"

But Zhuang Yan was also very confused. His "discernment" state was always on, and he did not judge Baihuaxian as lying when she spoke. In other words, this petition was not really written by Baihuaxian.

Thinking of this, Zhuang Yan looked towards Yun Fu. Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind, and he immediately said to General Bi Zhen beside him: "General Bi Zhen, take my talisman and go to Wushuilongfu to summon Princess Xianhe to heaven immediately."

Hearing this, Yun Fu immediately became anxious, "True Lord, please don't summon Princess Xianhe, I beg you."

Zhuang Yan looked at Yun Fu and smiled: "What's wrong?"

Yun Fu said: "I don't want her to know about this."

"Dare to do it but not to take responsibility?" Zhuang Yan sneered.

Yun Fu sighed, "I just don't want to make her sad."

Zhuang Yan waved his hand and said, "Do you think you have kept it a secret? You will know in a moment."

After that, Zhuang Yan said to General Bi Zhen: "Go, summon Princess Xianhe quickly."

General Bi Zhen took the order and left. Yun Fu finally panicked at this moment. He kept looking around and finally bowed to Zhuang Yan and said, "Master Zhen, please have mercy on me."

Zhuang Yan said calmly: "You asked the wrong person."

"?" Yun Fu stood there in confusion when he heard this.

After an unknown amount of time, General Bi Zhen led a beautiful, elegant, noble and charming woman into the Demon-Subduing Palace.

The woman was wearing a pearl necklace and jade necklace, and a dark green flying fairy robe. She had clear eyes and walked into the hall calmly and indifferently.

Yun Fu quickly called out, "Madam."

But the woman acted as if she didn't hear anything. She walked straight to the front, bowed to Zhuang Yan and said, "Little Immortal Ao Yu, I pay my respects to Master Yu Ji."

Zhuang Yan stretched out his hand and said, "Stand up."

Ao Yu thanked him and then slowly stood up.

Then Zhuang Yan raised his hand and waved, and the petition in the hands of the Hundred Flower Fairy immediately flew in front of Ao Yu. Ao Yu just took a look and said, "Reply to Master Zhenjun, this petition was written by me."

"What?" Yun Fu and the other two were shocked, especially Yun Fu, who looked at his wife's delicate back in disbelief and murmured, "Madam, how did you know?"

Ao Yu said indifferently: "If you don't want others to know, then don't do it yourself. Every time I go back to my parents' home, you have a secret meeting with your old lover in the mansion. Do you really think I don't know?"

Yun Fu was instantly deflated, and began to apologize to Ao Yu repeatedly, and promised that he would cut off all ties with Pei Yuhan and Baihuaxian in the future.

But Ao Yu looked at Yun Fu and said, "Men like you make me sick! I don't want to have anything to do with you anymore."

After saying that, Ao Yu bowed to Zhuang Yan and said, "Please ask True Lord Yu Ji to make the decision for me. I want to sever my marriage with Yun Fu."

Zhuang Yan asked, "Do you want to divorce Yun Fu?"

Ao Yu nodded and said, "Yes."

Zhuang Yan asked, "What do the Five Water Dragon Kings and Dragon Mothers say?"

Ao Yu sighed and said, "In their opinion, it is common for a man to have three wives and four concubines. They asked me to be more generous and disagreed with my divorce from Yun Fu."

"I know why you want to write a petition." Zhuang Yan immediately issued a talisman and sent it to Ao Yu, saying, "Take my talisman and go to the Dongxuan Palace next door to find the Dongxuan Junior Minister 'Xuan Du Zhenjun'. He is in charge of this matter and will make the decision for you."

Ao Yu took the talisman and bowed with gratitude, "Thank you, Master."

At this moment, Pei Yuhan suddenly said, "Master Yuji, Ao Yu said in her petition that I was possessed by a demon, but I am not. Is this a false accusation?"

"Not really." Zhuang Yan said, "She said 'suspected' of being possessed by a demon, but she didn't say you were really possessed by a demon."

Ao Yu glanced at Pei Yuhan with contempt and disdain in her eyes, then she said goodbye to Zhuang Yan and turned to leave, without looking at Yun Fu again from beginning to end. Yun Fu wanted to catch Ao Yu, but was stopped by General Feng Lei and could only watch Ao Yu leave the Demon Subduing Hall.

As Ao Yu left, Zhuang Yan finally turned his gaze to Yun Fu. Although this man was promiscuous, he really had not violated any heavenly laws.

If we must say that he had done anything wrong, it was only that he allowed Pei Yuhan and Baihuaxian to disrupt the Divine Palace.

Thinking of this, Zhuang Yan closed the case, stamped it with the seal of the Demon Subduing Hall, and sent it to General Feng Lei. "Generals, you can now take this petition and the case closing documents and send these three people to the Thunder Department for punishment."

Such emotional entanglements between immortals should not have been Zhuang Yan's business, but who asked the petition to be sent to the Demon-Suppressing Palace?

Now that everything has been investigated, it can be handed over to the Thunder Department. Whether Yun Fu is guilty or not can only be determined by the Thunder Department. After General Fenglei and General Leiwei took over the petition and the documents, they bid farewell to Zhuang Yan, and then took the three of them out of the Jade Extreme Master's Mansion, went straight up to the sky, and went to the Thunder Department.

Three days later, the verdict of the Thunder Department Heavenly Court came out. Pei Yuhan was sentenced to serve a thousand years in the Lei Ze Prison for the crimes of breaking the precepts and disturbing the divine palace.

Because of the crime of disturbing the divine palace, the Flower Fairy was sentenced to be suppressed under the "Putong Temple Pagoda" for five hundred years, suffering from the five disadvantages and three deficiencies.

As for Yunfu, the god of Heguang Mountain, he was sentenced to a fine of 100 years' salary, because after repeated investigations by the Heavenly Court, it was found that Yunfu had no other crime except allowing the two women to disrupt the divine palace.

Therefore, fining Yunfu his salary for 100 years is already the maximum punishment.

There was no change in the position of Yunfu Mountain God. After being punished, he was sent to the lower world and returned to Heguang Mountain to continue being the mountain god.

However, with the intervention of Xuandu Zhenjun, the Shaoqing of Dongxuan in the human world, Xianhe Dragon Girl successfully divorced Yunfu, and Xianhe Dragon Girl also took this opportunity to leave Wushui Dragon Palace and get away from the control of her parents.

As for Zhuang Yan, after dealing with this matter, he received an order from the Shenxiao Jade Palace and went to the Shenxiao Jade Palace to participate in the "Putian Assembly".

The Universal Assembly is a palace meeting held regularly by the Jade Palace of the Divine Heaven. Participants include the stars of the universe, the stars of the Zhoutian, as well as the True Lords and Heavenly Lords of all parties, and other gods, so it is called the Universal Assembly.

The Putian Conference lasted for three months. After three months, the Putian Conference ended and Zhuang Yan returned to the Palace of Jade Ji Zhenjun.

As soon as he returned to the Jade Extreme Master's residence, General Bi Zhen came to report: "Master, Jade Hua Master wants to see you and has been waiting in the residence for more than a month."

"Oh?" Zhuang Yan was a little surprised and asked, "Master Yuhua? Could he be Pei Yuhan's master?"

General Bi Zhen nodded and said, "Yes, Master Zhen, that's right."

Zhuang Yan nodded and said, "Tell him to come here to see me."

"Yes." General Bi Zhen nodded in response and turned to walk out of the Yuji Palace.

Not long after, General Bi Zhen came to the Yuji Palace with a Taoist priest wearing a Taoist robe and with white hair and a youthful face.

The Taoist priest had the power of a golden immortal. He walked steadily forward with a smile on his face and bowed to Zhuang Yan, saying, "I pay my respects to the True Lord Yuji."

Zhuang Yan smiled and said, "Your arrival is just in time. Your disciple did not abide by the precepts, behaved improperly, and violated the laws of heaven. He has been thrown into the Lei Ze Prison to serve his sentence. The Laojun Temple has no abbot so far. Now that you are here, please think about how to solve the problem."

Hearing this, Yuhua Zhenren hurriedly said, "I am a poor Taoist who has no way of teaching. I have come here to apologize to Zhenjun and ask to descend to the human world to preside over the affairs of Laojun Temple."

"Oh?" Zhuang Yan's expression became serious, and he said, "Fellow Daoist, you are a great Taoist. Isn't it too much of an insult to lower yourself to become a temple master?"

Yuhua Zhenren said with a smile: "This is my fault, but also my responsibility. Tao follows nature, and destiny is predetermined. How can I say that I am being treated unfairly?"

"Okay." Zhuang Yan nodded and said, "Since you said so, I won't force you. I'll ask you to descend to the mortal world and preside over the affairs of Laojun Temple."

Yuhua Zhenren bowed and said, "Thank you, Zhenjun."

Having said this, Yuhua Zhenren bowed to Zhuang Yan again and said, "True Lord, I have another request that I would like to make. I wonder if you would agree to it?"

Zhuang Yan said, "Fellow Daoist, please speak."

Master Yuhua said, "I would like to meet my young disciple Pei Yuhan. Is that possible?"

After hearing this, Zhuang Yan hesitated for a moment before nodding and saying, "Okay."

After that, Zhuang Yan gave Master Yuhua a talisman and said, "Daoyou, with this talisman, you can apply to the Thunder Department to enter the Lei Ze Prison to visit Pei Yuhan."

Yuhua Zhenren took the talisman and then bowed and said, "Thank you, Zhenjun."

True Man Yuhua came to the Thunder Department Heavenly Court, presented Zhuang Yan's talisman, and explained his purpose to True Lord Yisheng.

After receiving the talisman, True Lord Yisheng called a thunder general and asked him to take True Man Yuhua to the Lei Ze Prison to visit Pei Yuhan.

True Man Yuhua thanked him and left. Not long after, he saw the haggard Pei Yuhan in the Lei Ze Prison.

Lei Ze Prison is located in the Second Heaven and is under the jurisdiction of the 'Lei Ze Du Si'.

There is no spiritual energy or immortal energy in the Lei Ze Prison, not even the vital energy of heaven and earth.

There is only withering, decay, and deathly silence here. In the Lei Ze Prison, knife blades rain down every three days, fire rains down every seven days, and thunder strikes every fifteen days.

Struck by lightning, burned by fire, and stabbed by swords, Pei Yuhan had been tortured beyond recognition after only three months here, and there was no light in her eyes.

At this time, Pei Yuhan was sitting under the mud shed she had built in the Lei Ze Prison, with a look of despair on her face. But what made her even more devastated was that she couldn't even die in there.

When the figure of Master Yuhua appeared in front of Pei Yuhan, a glimmer of light suddenly emerged in Pei Yuhan's lifeless eyes. She looked up and couldn't believe it at first. After looking carefully, tears welled up in her eyes.

Pei Yuhan quickly stood up and knelt on the ground, bowing to Master Yuhua and saying, "I am your unfilial disciple Yuhan, and I pay my respects to you, Master."

After saying this, Pei Yuhan looked up at Master Yuhua and asked in a tearful voice, "Master, are you here to rescue me?"

Yuhua Zhenren shook his head and said, "This Lei Ze Prison is guarded by the Five Thunder Kings and the Twenty-four Heavenly Lords. Even if your master wanted to save you, he doesn't have the ability to do so."

Then, Yu Hua Zhenren said, "I just came to see you. With your imprisonment, Laojun Temple will be without a master. I have already apologized to Yu Ji Zhenjun and asked to go down to the mortal world to serve as the master of Laojun Temple."

Hearing this, Pei Yuhan's face changed drastically, and he quickly said, "Master, you are a great master of our Taoist sect, how can you lower yourself to become a temple master?"

Master Yuhua smiled and said, "If you really care about your master, you shouldn't be serving your sentence here."

Pei Yuhan's face turned pale, and a deep shame appeared in her eyes. She lowered her head and said softly to Master Yuhua, "Master, I'm sorry."

Master Yuhua shook his head and said with a smile: "Now that things have come to this, you don't have to apologize."

When Pei Yuhan heard this, he raised his head and asked, "Master, what about your temple in Jukuzhou?"

Yuhua Zhenren said: "It has been returned to Fangyuyuan."

"Why?" Pei Yuhan was very puzzled. It was very difficult for Taoist monks to open a Taoist temple on the three islands of the Ten Continents. First, the merits had to be recognized by the Heavenly Court, and second, they had to be recognized as great monks in Taoism.

Because as long as you go to the ten continents and three islands, you will not be affected by cause and effect, will not be stained by the worldly world, will be free from worries, will be free and at ease, and will enjoy the great road.

Yuhua Zhenren smiled and said, "You know that my master has several old enemies. They are also in Jukuzhou. If I stay there, I don't know how much I will be ridiculed by them every day. It's better to just leave. Out of sight, out of mind."

Hearing this, Pei Yuhan suddenly had a picture in his mind. His master would meet those old rivals every day when he went out, and then those old rivals would ridicule his master:

"How can a person who does not teach strictly have the face to call himself a great virtue?"

"The disciple he taught has no sense of shame. As a senior disciple of the Taoist sect, he actually became the lover of a mountain god."

"It is shameful that the disciple did not abide by the rules and had an affair with a married man, and shamelessly competed with a flower fairy for a man."

Pei Yuhan was ashamed of the imaginary scenes in her mind. She had always believed that Yu Ji Zhenjun and the Thunder Department were deliberately targeting her and persecuting her. But now, she finally knew what shame was and what it meant to admit one's mistakes.

Pei Yuhan burst into tears, hugged Master Yuhua's legs with both hands and confessed loudly: "Master, I was wrong. I really know I was wrong."

Yuhua Zhenren was very pleased. He patted Pei Yuhan on the head and said, "It is a great virtue to admit your mistakes and correct them. Serve your sentence well in Lei Ze Prison. When you are released, you will still be my disciple."

When Pei Yuhan heard this, she was heartbroken and cried even harder. At this moment, Yunfu, feelings, and entanglements didn't matter anymore. No one had let her down, but she had let her mentor down!
After Master Yuhua left, Pei Yuhan cried for the whole day, but she regained her spirit after crying. Yes, she must serve her sentence well. She still has a master. She has already brought shame to her master and cannot let him down again.

After leaving the Lei Ze Prison, True Man Yuhua went to thank True Lord Yisheng and Zhuang Yan again, then went directly down to the Laojun Temple on Guyun Mountain, summoned all the disciples in the temple, told them about Pei Yuhan, and personally took over the position of the abbot of the Laojun Temple.

It has to be said that Laojun Temple has become extremely dilapidated under Pei Yuhan's leadership. The original disciples have either left or died. The current ones are all new disciples, and their Taoism skills are lower than each other.

Moreover, after they heard the news that Pei Yuhan was convicted by the Heavenly Court, they did not show much sadness or surprise. This shows how cold and neglectful Pei Yuhan was towards these disciples.

Therefore, Master Yuhua was easily accepted by all the disciples. They had no doubts about his identity as the founder. It seemed that it didn't matter who became the abbot, as long as they could have food to eat.

Seeing this scene, True Man Yuhua couldn't help but sigh deeply.
