I am a fairy in Journey to the West

Chapter 156: To Subdue the Great Demon and Serve Him

In the Yuji Palace, General Bi Zhen bowed and said, "Your Excellency, the Great Sage Equaling Heaven is outside the palace asking to see you."

Liu Yan, the demon-suppressing envoy, smiled knowingly when he heard this. Even if the Monkey King went to the Lingxiao Palace in Daluo Heaven, he could enter whenever he wanted, but he came here to "ask for an audience".

Zhuang Yan raised his head and said with a smile: "Let him in."

As soon as Zhuang Yan finished speaking, he saw Sun Wukong jumping into the hall. As expected, a man with sharp ears, seeing Sun Wukong coming in, General Bi Zhen smiled and stood aside.

Sun Wukong entered the hall, stepped forward, bowed, and said, "Nephew greets uncle."

Zhuang Yan asked with a smile: "Wukong, has your journey to help Tang Monk obtain Buddhist scriptures been going smoothly lately?"

Sun Wu waved his hand and said, "Hey, uncle, please don't ask me anymore. I'm really upset."

"Oh?" Zhuang Yan said with a smile, "Why are you upset? Did you encounter some big monster again?"

Sun Wukong said: "There are big demons and small demons. The big demons are difficult to deal with, and the small demons are also difficult to deal with. My nephew is in a dilemma."

Zhuang Yan was surprised and said, "It's ok that the big monster is difficult to deal with, but why is the small monster also difficult to deal with? With your martial arts skills, what kind of small monster can embarrass you?"

Sun Wukong said: "He is a little demon with a backer."

When Zhuang Yan heard this, he immediately laughed and said, "Little demon with a backer? What backer? Which Bodhisattva? What Buddha? Tell me about it."

Sun Wukong laughed and said, "It's not some Bodhisattva, nor is it some Buddha. The person behind it is just a True Lord."

"Oh?" Zhuang Yan was surprised, "A True Lord has stumped you? You were not like this when you caused chaos in the Heavenly Palace."

Sun Wukong said: "This True Lord is not an ordinary True Lord. I dare not offend him."

"This makes me curious. Which True Lord is it? He doesn't even dare to offend you? True Lord Erlang?" Zhuang Yan asked.

Sun Wukong laughed and said, "Erlang Zhenjun is very powerful, but I am not afraid of him."

Zhuang Yan asked, "Which True Lord is that?"

Sun Wukong did not say anything, but just smiled at Zhuang Yan. Zhuang Yan raised his eyebrows and said, "Wukong, why are you looking at me?"

Liu Yan, who was standing aside, said at this time: "True Lord, it seems that you are the only True Lord that the Great Sage Equaling Heaven dares not offend?"

When Zhuang Yan heard this, he laughed out loud and said, "I see. I didn't expect that I would become the backer of a monster. Well, tell me, what kind of monster is that?"

Sun Wukong said quickly, "Uncle, they are the two sons of Tiger Vanguard. Not only have they become demons, they are also serving as vanguards under the Yellow Wind King. They have captured my master."

"Yellow Wind King?" Liu Yan asked, "Great Sage, is the yellow wind that blew between the three realms yesterday related to the Yellow Wind King?"

Sun Wukong said: "That is exactly the magical power of the Yellow Wind King, called Samadhi Divine Wind."

"So it's him!" Liu Yan's face changed, and he immediately said to Sun Wukong: "Such a big demon, no wonder even the Great Sage is so embarrassed."

Sun Wukong looked at Zhuang Yan and said, "Uncle, you can't just ignore this matter. Those two little bastards ruined the reputation of Brother Tiger Vanguard and your uncle."

Zhuang Yan smiled, put down the jade slip in his hand, stood up and said, "I didn't say I don't care, kid."

Sun Wukong was overjoyed when he heard this and bowed quickly, saying, "Uncle, you are so kind and you are truly a role model for the gods in the three realms."

"Okay, okay, stop flattering me." Zhuang Yan walked down the steps of the palace and said to Sun Wukong, "I will go to the lower world to help you subdue the demons and rescue Tang Monk."

Sun Wukong quickly stepped forward and held Zhuang Yan's arm, saying, "Thank you, uncle. I feel extremely guilty for making you work so hard."

Zhuang Yan chuckled. If he knew that Tiger Vanguard and Snake Vanguard were still waiting for him behind, he would definitely not feel guilty.

As they were talking, Zhuang Yan brought Sun Wukong down to the mortal world, pressed down the clouds and landed outside the Yellow Wind Cave.

Zhuang Yan looked at the Yellow Wind Cave in front of him and said to Sun Wukong, "Wukong, go knock on the door."

Sun Wukong responded, then flew forward, raised his golden cudgel and smashed towards the stone door of the cave.

There was a loud bang and the entire Huangfeng Ridge shook violently. Dozens of cracks appeared on the stone gate and rocks and soil on the mountain rolled down.

"Monster, come out, come out quickly, your grandpa Sun is here." Sun Wukong shouted loudly into the Yellow Wind Cave.

While shouting, Sun Wukong hit the stone door several times with his golden cudgel.

At this moment, inside the Huangfeng Cave, gravel was flying, mud and dust were falling, and the ground and the cave were shaking with the sound of Sun Wukong banging on the door. The little demons looked at the stone wall of the cave above their heads in panic, fearing that it would collapse.

The Yellow Wind Monster couldn't stand it anymore and suddenly sat up from the couch, "What a damn monkey, so annoying."

After saying that, the Yellow Wind Monster rubbed his waist and found that it was no longer so painful. He couldn't help but say, "Tiger, come ahead, your magic pill is really effective."

Hu Lailai said: "Of course, this elixir was made by a true cultivator."

"Oh?" Yellow Wind Monster asked, "Who is this person who has attained the true Dao?"

Hu Lai said, "It is the Fire Spirit Immortal from Lingtai Mountain."

After hearing this, Huang Fengguai thought for a moment and said, "Fire Spirit Immortal? I think I've heard this name before in Lingshan."

Thinking of this, Huang Fengguai nodded and said, "I heard this person's name in Lingshan. It seems that he is indeed a true cultivator."

As he said this, the Yellow Wind Monster turned over and got off the couch, grabbed a three-pronged steel fork from the side, and said, "Two vanguards, quickly gather your men and horses and follow me to fight. We must capture Sun Wukong alive in this battle. Tonight, everyone will have a monkey feast."

Upon hearing this, Hu Lailai and Hu Ququ immediately bowed and said, "As you command."

There was a rumbling sound and a white light appeared at the gate of the Yellow Wind Cave. When Sun Wukong saw it, he quickly flew back.

The next moment, the stone door of the cave slowly opened, and then the Yellow Wind Monster, Tiger Lailai, Tiger Ququ and hundreds of little monsters rushed out of the cave. After forming a neat array, they shouted, "Sun Wukong, I let you go twice, why are you so ignorant of your own life?"

"Hehe, you are such a fool." Sun Wukong laughed and said, "I think you are the one who doesn't know whether to live or die. Look, who is coming?"

When Huang Fengguai heard this, his face twitched and he was shocked. He thought to himself, "Oh no!" Could it be that this monkey had invited Lingji Bodhisattva?

The Yellow Wind Monster subconsciously took a step back, then looked up and saw a young man in a fairy robe with great power and majesty appearing in front of Sun Wukong. Seeing Zhuang Yan, the Yellow Wind Monster immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Great, it wasn't Lingji Bodhisattva.

Then the Yellow Wind Monster said with a sneer on his face, "I thought it was someone else, but it turns out to be an unknown god. Sun Wukong, you are the Great Sage Equaling Heaven who caused havoc in the Heavenly Palace, so why can you only ask a small god to subdue me?"

As soon as the Yellow Wind Monster finished speaking, Zhuang Yan glanced at Hu Lailai and Hu Ququ and said with a smile, "You two came down the mountain to gain experience, but why did you come here to make trouble? Why don't you turn back?"

Hu Lailai and Hu Ququ looked panicked, then they quickly ran over, knelt before Zhuang Yan and said, "Hu Lailai (Hu Ququ) pay homage to the True Lord. We acknowledge our sins and ask for your punishment."

Seeing that his two most capable men were frightened by Zhuang Yan's words and ran over to kneel down to apologize, Huang Fengguai was shocked and said quickly: "Two vanguards, why are you like this? Come back quickly and don't be afraid of him. I can protect you two."

Hu Lailai and Hu Ququ looked back at the Yellow Wind Monster, and then Hu Ququ said helplessly: "Brother, it's not that we two brothers are unrighteous, but when you see this, you should surrender quickly."

"What? Surrender?!" Huang Fengguai was furious when he heard this and said, "I have been a demon in the lower world for so many years, and I still don't know how to write the word 'surrender'!"

After saying that, the Yellow Wind Monster immediately pointed at Zhuang Yan and said, "Little God, where are you from? What abilities do you have? Tell me about it."

Zhuang Yan smiled, stepped forward and said, "You evil beast, you were originally a yellow-haired marten that had attained enlightenment at the foot of Lingshan Mountain. Later, you stole the clear oil in the glass cup. The Tathagata Buddha gave the Wind-Fixing Pill and the Flying Dragon Staff to Bodhisattva Lingji to capture you. When you saw the Tathagata, the Tathagata spared your life and let you return to the mountain in seclusion. I never thought that you, this evil beast, would not repent and dare to descend to the mortal world as a demon. You really don't know how to live or die."

Hearing Zhuang Yan telling his origins, the Yellow Wind Monster was shocked and thought to himself: "This person can explain my past so clearly, he is definitely not an ordinary god. It seems that Sun Wukong has found a powerful person."

Thinking of this, the Yellow Wind Monster sneered and said, "You can tell me all my past events, which shows that you are knowledgeable, but I don't know how powerful you are. I see that it is not easy for you to cultivate to this point, so I advise you not to meddle in other people's business, lest you lose your life for no reason."

Zhuang Yan smiled and said, "Don't worry about it. If you have the ability to take my life, all the gods and Buddhas in the sky will avoid you from now on."

Upon hearing this, the Yellow Wind Monster burst into laughter. After he finished laughing, he looked at Zhuang Yan and said, "You are quite good at bragging. Don't regret it later."

As soon as these words came out, the Yellow Wind Monster shouted, "Wind!"

"Boom!" A Samadhi Divine Wind instantly blew across the Three Realms, but this time it did not cause much shock to the Three Realms, because all the power was concentrated on blowing towards Zhuang Yan.

Sun Wukong quickly covered his eyes. Although his feet were firmly standing still, his body was shaking under the Samadhi Divine Wind.

Hu Lailai and Hu Ququ were blown into the air, but fortunately Zhuang Yan grabbed them and threw them back, and they landed steadily. The fierce yellow wind did not have any effect on them.

Zhuang Yan was at the center of the power of the Samadhi Divine Wind, but he was calm and leisurely strolling in the garden. Although he was at the center of the strong wind, even the lapels of his clothes did not flutter.

Zhuang Yan raised his hand and pointed, saying, "Decided."

The violent and raging Samadhi Divine Wind calmed down in an instant, and even the yellow sand in the sky fell to the ground in an instant. The sky, which was full of yellow wind just now, suddenly became clear.

The Yellow Wind Monster was horrified when he saw this scene, "Wind-Fixing Pill?! Are you Lingji Bodhisattva?"

Zhuang Yan laughed and said, "How do you think I look like a Bodhisattva?"

Upon hearing this, Huang Fengguai thought that indeed, not only did Zhuang Yan not look like a Bodhisattva, but if Lingji Bodhisattva wanted to subdue him, why would he change his appearance?
Thinking of this, the Yellow Wind Monster suddenly became furious. Since the Samadhi Divine Wind was useless, he would just use his weapon to kill Zhuang Yan.

But the Yellow Wind Monster moved its feet, and a gust of yellow wind rose in an instant. Then the Yellow Wind Monster appeared in front of Zhuang Yan, and the three-pronged steel fork in its hand stabbed directly into Zhuang Yan's throat.

However, at this moment, an iron rod appeared in front of him, and then hit the Yellow Wind Monster's chest with a "bang".

The Yellow Wind Monster groaned, and then his body shot out like a meteor. Then, with a loud 'boom', he smashed a big hole in the mountain of the Yellow Wind Cave. Finally, a humming sound came from the Yellow Wind Monster's mouth, and then he fell heavily to the ground.

The Yellow Wind Monster opened his mouth and only let out bursts of groans. All the ribs in his chest were broken. At this moment, the Yellow Wind Monster could not breathe or speak. He just lay on the ground, opening his mouth, exhaling rapidly and twitching.

Sun Wukong looked at the Yellow Wind Monster on the ground and laughed, "Without the Three-Sacred Wind, you can't be so arrogant anymore!"

When Zhuang Yan saw this, he couldn't help but say to Sun Wukong, "Wukong, you hit too hard."

Sun Wukong said: "Uncle, if we don't kill this monster, why do we keep it alive?"

Zhuang Yan smiled and said, "I still need some errands in the Jade Supreme Master's mansion. This Yellow Wind Monster has some abilities, so I can take him in and use him."

After saying that, Zhuang Yan took out a pottery jar and directly put the Yellow Wind Monster into it.

When Sun Wukong heard this, he immediately laughed and said, "So that's how it is."

At this moment, the Yellow Wind Monster was captured, and those little monsters immediately scattered and disappeared into the mountains and forests in the blink of an eye.

Zhuang Yan smiled and said, "Okay, Wukong, the Yellow Wind Monster has been captured. Now you can go save your master."

Sun Wukong quickly bowed and replied, "Yes." Then he flew into the Yellow Wind Cave and carried Tang Seng out on his back in a short while.

Sun Wukong put Tang Seng on the ground. When Tang Seng saw Zhuang Yan, he quickly straightened his appearance and stepped forward to pay his respects, saying, "I pay my respects to the God."

Sun Wukong smiled and said, "Master, my uncle is now a True Lord."

Upon hearing this, Tang Monk hurriedly bowed again and said, "I pay my respects to the True Lord of Lingtai."

Zhuang Yan extended his hand and said, "Elder, there is no need to be so polite. We have escaped this disaster and you can continue on your journey to obtain the scriptures."

Tang Monk clasped his hands together and bowed, saying, "This time it is all thanks to the help of the True Lord. I thank you."

Zhuang Yan waved his hand and then gave Sun Wukong a few more instructions. He then said goodbye and took Hu Lailai and Hu Ququ with him on a cloud and went straight up to the first heaven.

Sun Wukong took Tang Seng down the mountain and soon met up with Zhu Bajie and Little White Dragon.

"Thank God, Master, you are back. I was so worried about you." Zhu Bajie hurriedly stepped forward and bowed to Tang Seng.

Little White Dragon also stepped forward and saluted, saying, "Congratulations, Master, for escaping danger."

Tang Seng smiled and nodded to Zhu Bajie and Xiao Bailong, then said: "I have to thank Uncle Wukong and Lingtai Zhenjun for their help, otherwise my master would be in great danger."

Sun Wukong smiled and said, "Now that Master is out of danger, we can continue on our journey."

Tang Seng nodded and said with a smile: "My disciples, let's get going. It's getting late. Let's go a little further and find a place to stay."

After saying that, Tang Seng climbed onto his horse, Sun Wukong continued to explore the way ahead, the little white dragon led the purple dragon horse, and Zhu Bajie carried the load, and under the setting sun and the gentle breeze, the four masters and apprentices set out on their journey to obtain Buddhist scriptures again.
