I am a fairy in Journey to the West

Chapter 160: Fire Spirit Subdues the River Monster

Sun Wukong brought the Great Sage of the Yellow Wind to the Flowing Sand River. When Tang Seng saw the Great Sage of the Yellow Wind, he was shocked and asked hurriedly, "Wukong, why is he here?"

Sun Wukong smiled and said, "Don't be afraid, Master. He is here to help us this time."

When Tang Seng heard this, he said in surprise, "But wasn't he captured by Lingtai Zhenjun?"

Sun Wukong explained with a smile: "But he has now turned over a new leaf and is now the chief steward of the Yuji Palace. He no longer does evil and harms people."

"Oh." Tang Seng suddenly realized, and put his hands together and said: "Good, good, put down the butcher knife and become a Buddha on the spot, Lingtai Zhenjun is really merciful."

Little White Dragon and Zhu Bajie were staring at the Great Sage of Yellow Wind. Soon, Zhu Bajie said, "How can a manipulator of wind control the quicksand?"

Xiaobailong didn't say anything, but had a smile on his face. He always spoke little.

At this time, Sun Wukong said to the Great Sage Huang Feng: "Brother Huang Feng, the monster is in this Quicksand River."

The Great Sage Huang Feng nodded calmly, then turned around and walked to the Quicksand River with a three-pronged steel fork in his hand.

Seeing the calm look of the Great Sage Huang Feng, Little White Dragon nodded slightly and said to Zhu Bajie, "It seems that he has a plan in mind."

Sun Wukong also asked the Great Sage Huang Feng: "How is it? Is there any solution?"

The Great Sage Yellow Wind said, "I'll go down and take a look first."

Sun Wukong said, "Be careful." After that, he stretched out his hand and conjured up a rope. He blew on it and tied the other end of the rope around the waist of the Great Sage Huang Feng.

The Great Sage Huang Feng looked at the rope tied around his waist and asked, "What for?"

Sun Wukong smiled and said, "If you can't hold on after you go down, pull the rope and I will rescue you."

The Great Sage Huang Feng laughed and said, "You are a great sage, and I am also a great sage. Do I still need you to save me? No need!" After saying that, he was about to pull off the rope.

Sun Wukong said: "It's better to be on the safe side."

The Great Sage Huang Feng insisted, "Don't underestimate me." Then he continued to pull the rope.

Upon seeing this, Sun Wukong kicked him in the lower back without waiting for him to untie the rope. The Great Sage Huang Feng screamed and fell into the quicksand river with a plop.

Sun Wukong shook his head and said, "Why don't you listen to advice, young man?"

However, less than thirty breaths after the Great Sage Huangfeng fell into the Quicksand River, the rope in Sun Wukong's hand was pulled wildly.

When Sun Wukong saw this, he immediately grabbed the rope and pulled it hard. The water surface of the Quicksand River made a slight "splash" sound, and the Great Sage Huangfeng was pulled out in an instant.

"Plop" the Great Sage Huangfeng fell to the ground, and then sand began to flow from his seven orifices. He vomited out the sand in his mouth mouthful by mouthful, which looked very tragic.

After an unknown amount of time, a pile of sand formed around the Great Sage Huang Feng, and he was lying on the ground with a look of exhaustion on his face.

Sun Wukong walked forward with a smile and said, "Brother Huang Feng, how about it? In the end, we still have to rely on the rope, right?"

Upon hearing this, Great Sage Huang Feng sat up abruptly and said, "Where did this monster come from? How come it has such a powerful sand control method?"

Zhu Bajie said: "That is the general in the sky, who was imprisoned here because he violated the rules of heaven."

When the Great Sage Yellow Wind heard this, he shook his head and said, "It's impossible to fight in the river. As soon as I went in, I was trapped by the quicksand."

Zhu Bajie asked, "Why don't you release the Samadhi Divine Wind?"

The Great Sage of the Yellow Wind looked back at Zhu Bajie as if he were looking at a fool, "Have you ever seen any wind that can blow underwater?"

Zhu Bajie turned around and said to Xiao Bailong: "Second Brother, tell him."

Little White Dragon: “.”

At this moment, Tang Seng uttered another lament, "Could it be that we can no longer cross this Quicksand River?"

When the Great Sage Yellow Wind heard this, he said, "There are many ways to cross the river, but if the monster in the water is not eliminated, no matter how many methods there are, they will be useless."

Zhu Bajie said, "Brother Monkey, why don't you go to the South China Sea to find Guanyin Bodhisattva? She was the one who started this pilgrimage, so she can't just ignore it, right?"

When Sun Wukong heard this, he nodded and said, "That makes sense. Then I will go to the South China Sea."

The Great Sage Huang Feng asked, "Is there no great deity in Xi Niu Hezhou? Why did they travel so far to the South Sea to ask Guanyin for help?"

Hearing this, Sun Wukong stopped and reacted. He patted his head and said with a smile: "Oh, Lingtai Mountain is not far from here. Little White Dragon, Bajie, you protect Master while I go to Lingtai Mountain to find help."

After saying this, Sun Wukong flew up on his somersault cloud and arrived outside Lingtai Mountain in just a moment.

The first thing Sun Wukong did was to look towards the Fangcun Mountain, where he saw auspicious signs and misty purple air, as if it was a blessed land of immortals.

But Sun Wukong just looked at it from afar, not daring to get close, with a hint of loneliness in his eyes.

But after a moment, Sun Wukong put away his emotions and flew to Danchi Ridge.

But as soon as he landed, he heard a shout from the front: "Hey? Where did this wild monkey come from? It's been months since the peach season and you're here to steal it. You can't even eat shit when it's hot."

Sun Wukong looked up and saw Hu Lailai standing on the slope, looking at him and sneering.

Sun Wukong smiled and raised his hand, and suddenly Hu Lailai was brought in front of Sun Wukong.

Sun Wukong grabbed Hu Lailai and reached out to grab a vine and started beating Hu Lailai on the butt.

Tiger Lailai screamed in pain, and Sun Wukong beat him while laughing, "You are an ignorant child, you deserve to be beaten."

Hu Lailai's shouting attracted Hu Ququ, who rushed over with a knife in his hand, shouting, "Bima Wen, let my brother go."

Sun Wukong looked at Hu Ququ who was rushing towards him and said, "What a friendly and respectful brother." After that he grabbed Hu Ququ as well and cast a spell to hang the two brothers on the peach tree. He then circled around with a rattan stick and spanked them on their buttocks.

The two brothers were beaten and screamed. Soon, a gentle and soft voice sounded on the slope: "Wukong."

Sun Wukong stopped and looked up suddenly, only to see the Fire Spirit Immortal standing there in a light black robe, with jade eyebrows and starry eyes, long black hair tied up lightly, and a golden crown on his head. He had an elegant and celestial appearance and was extremely handsome.

"Sister Huo Ling." Sun Wukong quickly flew up and bowed to the Fire Spirit Immortal, saying, "Sister Huo Ling, long time no see."

Fire Spirit Immortal said with a smile: "We haven't seen each other for so many years. Why are you bullying my men as soon as you come?"

Sun Wukong chuckled, "Sister Huo Ling, I am helping you discipline your subordinates, but I have good intentions."

Fire Spirit Immortal smiled and said, "So you came all the way to Lingtai Mountain just to help me discipline my subordinates?"

Sun Wukong waved his hand and said, "This is just one of the reasons. The second reason is, is my uncle here?"

The Fire Spirit Immortal smiled and said, "The Immortal Lord has gone to travel in the mountains."

"Where are we going to hike?" asked Sun Wukong.

The Fire Spirit Immortal shook his head and said, "Sometimes he visits monks in the woods and springs, sometimes he watches monkeys and cranes in the mountains, sometimes he sails on the rivers, sometimes he performs wonderful dharma in the caves. His traces are vague and he has no fixed place."

Sun Wukong was a little disappointed when he heard this, and said, "My uncle has a very leisurely life these days."

Fire Spirit Immortal smiled and said, "Why? Aren't you free?"

Sun Wukong immediately poured out all his bitterness, and then said to the Fire Spirit Immortal: "It's either a disaster or a hardship. Alas, I don't know when it will end."

The Fire Spirit Immortal said, "I also know something about the monster in the Flowing Sand River. Since you are not in the mansion right now, I will go with you."

"Oh?" Sun Wukong looked at the Fire Spirit Immortal and said, "Sister Fire Spirit, I'm not looking down on you. That monster's sand-controlling technique is not simple." The Fire Spirit Immortal smiled and said, "Then let me see how it is not simple."

Seeing that the Fire Spirit Immortal was so determined, Sun Wukong didn't want to refuse her kindness, so he said, "Okay, then I'll trouble you to go there."

The Fire Spirit Immortal smiled slightly, then raised his hand and pointed. Suddenly, a flame rose from the rope that tied the two brothers Hu Lailai, and instantly burned the rope that was transformed by Sun Wukong's magic power.

After the two brothers escaped and landed, the Fire Spirit Immortal said, "You two take good care of the mountain mansion. I will be back soon."

Upon hearing this, the two brothers immediately bowed and said, "We will obey your orders."

Then the Fire Spirit Immortal and Sun Wukong flew up on a cloud and headed for the Flowing Sand River. At this time, Sun Wukong suddenly asked, "By the way, why can't I see Brother Tiger and Sister Snake?"

Fire Spirit Immortal said: "You will see them later."

Sun Wukong nodded, thinking it was just an ordinary remark, and did not notice the half-smile in Fire Spirit Immortal's tone at all.

Soon, Fire Spirit Immortal and Sun Wukong landed on the bank of the Flowing Sand River. As soon as they landed, Little White Dragon immediately stepped forward and saluted, saying, "Greetings to the Prime Minister."

Fire Spirit Immortal smiled and nodded to Little White Dragon, while Zhu Bajie's eyes lit up and he quickly came forward and asked, "What's your name, sister?"

Before Zhu Bajie could finish his words, Sun Wukong grabbed his ear and pulled him aside, saying, "Idiot, are you crazy?"

Zhu Bajie slapped Sun Wukong's hand away and said, "I just asked him what his name was. How does that bother you?"

The Fire Spirit Immortal looked at Zhu Bajie and said with a smile: "Marshal Tianpeng, we should have met him before."

Zhu Bajie was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then asked in surprise: "Are you the Fire Spirit?"

"That's right." Fire Spirit Immortal nodded.

Zhu Bajie said quickly: "Hey, it's you. You've really changed. You weren't this beautiful before."

"Bajie!" Tang Seng shouted sternly. Zhu Bajie was startled and quickly stepped aside.

After being introduced by Little White Dragon, Tang Seng immediately stepped forward, clasped his hands together and saluted the Fire Spirit Immortal, saying, "I am Xuanzang, and I am honored to meet the Prime Minister of Fire Spirit Mansion."

The Fire Spirit Immortal quickly returned the greeting and said, "Greetings to the Holy Monk."

Tang Monk smiled at the Immortal Fire Spirit and said, "I am following the order of the Tang King to go to the West to worship Buddha and seek scriptures. Today, I am blocked by the Quicksand River. The monsters in the river are very powerful and none of my disciples can control them. I would like to ask the Prime Minister to come and rescue me. I will be grateful to you."

Fire Spirit Immortal smiled and said, "It's just a small favor. Saint Monk, there's no need to do this."

Sun Wukong walked up to the Great Sage Huang Feng and said, "This is the chancellor of the Lingtai Zhenjun Mansion. He has been following my uncle since he was a nobody. Who knows, he may be your superior in the future."

Hearing this, Great Sage Huang Feng quickly stepped forward with a smile on his face, bowed and said, "Young General Huang Feng, I pay my respects to the Prime Minister."

The Fire Spirit Immortal looked at the Great Sage Yellow Wind with a smile, bowed his hands in return, and then said, "Daoyou and I are both subordinates of the True Lord, and we are also family members. There is no need to be polite. Daoyou, please wait a moment, let me catch the monster in the river first."

After saying this, Fire Spirit Immortal quickly walked to the bank of the Quicksand River.

Behind him, the Great Sage Huang Feng looked puzzled and whispered to Sun Wukong, "Can she catch the monster?"

When Sun Wukong heard this, he didn't know how to respond for a moment, and he was unsure.

At this moment, everyone saw the Fire Spirit Immortal raise his right hand and make a finger gesture, and then a beam of fire flew into the Quicksand River.

At this moment, the monster who was sitting in the cave at the bottom of the Quicksand River suddenly opened his eyes, and a nameless anger suddenly rose in his heart. When this nameless anger arose, he could not sit still anymore, and he was so angry that he wanted to kill someone. He stood up and picked up the magic staff without controlling himself, walked out of the cave, and then flew out of the Quicksand River directly.

Just ten breaths later, Sun Wukong saw the monster fly out of the Quicksand River, and then the Fire Spirit Immortal sacrificed the 'Dingguang Glazed Lamp'.

The Dingguang glass lamp shone with green light, and the monster was immediately fixed in mid-air along with the time passing by.

Immediately afterwards, the Fire Spirit Immortal raised his hand and pointed, conjuring up a rope to tie up the monster, then he put away the "Dingguang Glass Lamp" and gently raised his hand, and the monster was immediately pulled to the shore.

"What a powerful method." Sun Wukong, Yellow Wind Great Sage, Little White Dragon, and Zhu Bajie looked at the Fire Spirit Immortal in horror.

Just a flash of fire, a lamp, was used to capture the monster in the Quicksand River? What a mysterious method.

The monster looked around in bewilderment. Zhu Bajie raised his rake and said, "I will punish you, you rascal. You have caused me so much trouble. I will beat you now."

As Zhu Bajie was speaking, he aimed his rake at the monster's head. Suddenly, a voice rang out from the sky, "Marshal Tianpeng, please show mercy."

Zhu Bajie looked up and saw the monk Hui'an coming on a cloud.

When Tang Seng saw him, he immediately bowed and said, "Greetings, Monkey King."

The traveler Hui An landed and bowed to the Immortal Fire Spirit. Then he said to Tang Seng, "Master Tang, this person is your fourth disciple."

Tang Seng was slightly surprised when he heard this, but he was relatively calm. After all, he had experienced the same things as Sun Wukong, Xiao Bailong and Zhu Bajie before, and he had already developed resistance to this kind of thing.

The monster was shocked and said, "You want me to be his disciple?" Then he looked at Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie with an embarrassed expression.

The traveler Hui An said, "This is the will of the Bodhisattva. As long as you help Tang Monk to obtain the scriptures in the West, you will not have to suffer torture here anymore. After you succeed, you will be able to obtain the right result and return to heaven."

Hearing this, the demon immediately kowtowed to Tang Seng and said, "Master, I am here to pay my respects to you. I was disrespectful to you earlier. Please forgive me."

Tang Seng rushed forward to help him, and then shaved his head and ordained the monster, giving him the Buddhist name "Wujing".

At this point, Tang Seng's disciples were all present, and Hui'an picked up the gourd and began to make a raft for Tang Seng to cross the river.

Seeing that Hui An Xingzhe was fiddling with the equipment, the Great Sage Huang Feng became impatient and said, "You are making too much trouble. It is so easy to cross the river. There is no need to go through so much trouble."

Hearing this, Hui An Xingzhe was not angry, but just smiled and asked: "Daoyou, what can I do?"

Great Sage Huang Feng said, "Just look at me."

After saying that, the Great Sage Yellow Wind walked forward and blew a breath of Samadhi Divine Wind towards the Flowing Sand River.

In an instant, the sky became dark and yellow sand filled the air. The Samadhi Divine Wind blew out and immediately blew the water in the Quicksand River to both sides, and a very wide road appeared in the middle.

The Great Sage Yellow Wind turned around and said, "We can cross the river now."

"This is indeed convenient." Hui'an Xingzhe said with a smile.

Then Sun Wukong jumped into the road at the bottom of the quicksand river first, then turned around and waved, "Master, fellow disciples, come quickly."

The little white dragon helped Tang Seng to mount the horse, and then led the purple dragon horse downwards. Zhu Bajie handed the task of carrying the load to Sha Seng, and he himself carried the rake and walked behind the purple dragon horse.

Sha Seng bowed to the Immortal Fire Spirit and the Traveler Hui'an, then picked up his burden and followed them.

When Tang Seng and his four companions reached the center of the river, they all turned around and bowed to the people on the shore to express their gratitude.

Immortal Huo Ling and Traveler Hui An smiled, stretched out their hands and waved gently, then the pilgrim team turned around and walked forward, soon crossing the Quicksand River and reaching the opposite bank.

At this moment, the Great Sage Huangfeng retracted the Samadhi Divine Wind. With a loud 'boom', the Quicksand River once again returned to its previous state of turbulent waves and turbulence.

Watching the pilgrims leave, Hui'an took the lead in saying goodbye to the Fire Spirit Immortal and the Yellow Wind Great Sage, then left on a cloud.

The Fire Spirit Immortal smiled at the Yellow Wind Great Sage and said, "Daoyou, do you want to go to Lingtai Mountain and sit for a while?"

The Great Sage Huang Feng thought for a moment, then cupped his hands and said, "Sorry to bother you then."

The Fire Spirit Immortal smiled and shook his head, and then the two of them took off on their clouds and flew towards Lingtai Mountain.
