I am a fairy in Journey to the West

Chapter 183: Old disaster leads to new disaster

However, the power of the golden ring was broken. Liu Jin and Jiu Ling Zhenren immediately looked forward and saw a monk in a cassock, thin in appearance, with a kind face flying towards them on auspicious clouds.

When Jiu Ling Zhenren saw this person, his expression suddenly changed and he said, "This is a celestial being."

Liu Jin frowned and said, "Why don't the immortals stay in heaven and come to the human world?"

Jiu Ling Zhenren looked at Liu Jin and asked with a smile: "Who are you talking about?"

Liu Jin: “.” At this moment she remembered that this Uncle Jiu Ling was also a celestial being.

At this time, the monk came to him, put his hands together and said, "Dear donors, I am Wuxiang, the abbot of Xiangji Temple. Today, we have some matters to deal with in the temple, and the temple gate will be closed later. Please leave first and come back another day."

The voice of Elder Wuxiang spread throughout the entire Xiangji Temple. The pilgrims and lay Buddhists who had realized that something was wrong immediately knelt on the ground, kowtowed to Elder Wuxiang in the sky, and then left the Xiangji Temple in an orderly manner.

After all the pilgrims had left, the monks of Xiangji Temple immediately closed all the temple gates.

Later, the other two elders of Xiangji Temple also rushed over, while other disciples and monks were on guard in various temples.

At this time, Elder Wuxiang performed the eleven bows and said, "Amitabha, I am Wuxiang, the abbot of this temple. What hatred do you two fellow Taoists have against the monks in this temple?"

Jiu Ling Zhenren bowed his head and said to Elder Wu Xiang: "I am Jiu Ling, the abbot of Lingtai Temple. This is my nephew, whose Taoist name is 'Liu Jin', and he is the abbot of Lingtai Temple."

After the introduction, Jiu Ling Zhenren said to Elder Wu Xiang: "Elder, it is not us who have a grudge against the monks in your temple, but my nephew has a grudge against that mortal."

After Jiu Ling Zhenren finished speaking, he pointed at Qin Yue below. Elder Wu Xiang lowered his head to look at Qin Yue, and then asked in confusion: "This person is just an ordinary person, how could he have a grudge with this Taoist friend Liu Jin?"

Jiu Ling Zhenren said to Liu Jin, "Liu Jin, you should talk about this matter."

Liu Jin nodded, then walked forward, bowed to Elder Wuxiang, and told him the story of Hui Lian in detail.

After listening to this, Elder Wuxiang frowned and chanted "Amitabha" loudly. Then he lowered his head and asked Qin Yue below: "Donor Qin, is what this fellow Taoist Liujin said true?"

Qin Yue was a little nervous at the moment, but Elder Queming raised his hand and patted him gently on the back. Qin Yue felt the comfort from Elder Queming, and immediately straightened his chest, bowed to Elder Wuxiang, and then said, "Abbot, this man is talking nonsense."

"You" Liu Jin was about to retort, but Elder Wu Xiang turned around and smiled at Liu Jin, "Fellow Daoist, can you let him speak?"

True Man Jiu Ling also stopped Liu Jin and gave her a look. Liu Jin had no choice but to nod while suppressing her anger.

Then Elder Wuxiang said to Qin Yue, "Donor Qin, please continue."

Qin Yue immediately exaggerated and said: "It is obvious that the fox demon has bewitched me and sucked my energy. If not, why would I have to come to the temple to cultivate my body during this period of time? This is what happened. That night, I was walking on the official road on my way home from visiting my relatives."

So, according to Qin Yue's description, he became a completely innocent person who was bewitched by the fox demon. As for the death of the fox demon and the inner elixir, he knew nothing about it.

At this point, Qin Yue even knelt down and kowtowed to Elder Wuxiang, saying, "Abbot, my father, Governor Qin, loved the people like his own children and was impartial and selfless. My mother believed in Buddhism and valued education, reciting scriptures and chanting Buddha's name every day. How could I do such a vicious thing? Besides, how could a mortal like me kill a monster? It's obvious that they framed me and wanted to capture me to feed the fox monster. Or maybe this Liujin Immortal wanted to kill me to cover up her behavior of helping the fox monster to confuse mortals!"

By the end of her speech, Qin Yue was already sobbing and looked extremely pitiful.

Elder Queming also said at this moment: "Abbot, the family of Governor Qin is very devout in worshipping Buddha, and they have also done many favors to our Xiangji Temple. How could a young man from such a loyal and devout family do such an evil thing? There must be something fishy going on."

"You. You..." Liu Jin was so angry that he was shaking all over. He pointed at Qin Yue and Elder Queming below and said, "You are talking nonsense!"

"I know!" Liu Jin suddenly said, "That day, Qin Yue casually threw out a magic weapon, and that magic weapon cast a barrier to block my way. I was wondering how a mortal could have such a magic weapon. It's obvious that the monks in your Xiangji Temple are birds of a feather, so you are deliberately protecting him, right?!"

As Liu Jin was talking, he suddenly realized, "You were the ones who gave him the magic weapon. Were you also the ones who taught him to perform a laparotomy to extract the elixir? This Xiangji Temple is not a holy place of Buddhism at all. It's clearly a den of thieves and snakes."

Elder Wuxiang looked calm and said to Liu Jin, "Daoyou, you must have substance when you speak. Where is the fox demon?"

Liu Jin said, "He's dead! He died not long after his abdomen was cut open to take out the elixir."

"Where is the body?" Elder Wuxiang asked again.

Liu Jin said: "The body has been buried. Are we going to leave her exposed in the wilderness?"

Elder Wuxiang asked again: "Do you have any evidence to prove that it was Donor Qin Yue who killed the fox demon?"

Liu Jin was stunned, but quickly said, "They were in the backyard room at the time and I wasn't watching them!"

Elder Wuxiang nodded, and finally asked: "So you said that Donor Qin Yue has a magic weapon that can cast a barrier to block you, so can you bring that magic weapon with you?"

Liu Jin was stunned again, and after a moment he said, "After the power of the magic weapon was exhausted, it turned into a pile of ashes."

Elder Wuxiang said, "That is to say, now you can neither prove that it was Donor Qin Yue who killed the fox demon, nor prove that someone from Xiangji Temple gave Donor Qin Yue a magic weapon, is that right?"

Liu Jin opened her mouth to explain, but Jiu Ling Zhenren stopped her and said, "Liu Jin, there's no need to say more to them. These monks are obviously protecting Qin Yue."

“Haha.” Elder Wuxiang smiled slightly, looked at Master Jiuling and said, “Excuse me, fellow Taoist, why should I protect him? If you can’t produce evidence, I can’t let you kill him casually.”

Jiu Ling Zhenren sneered and said, "Why? The monk just said it very clearly. Qin Yue's father is the governor, a high-ranking official in the human court, and holds the power of a prefecture. It is too simple to give your Xiangji Temple some benefits. Let me ask you, your Xiangji Temple is so large and occupies such a large area in the city. Don't you have the help of this governor? If you don't have the permission of the officials of the human court, do you dare to expand the temple casually?"

There is the Emperor of Heaven in heaven, and there are the Human Emperor and the Human King on earth. Although the Human King is one level lower than the Human Emperor, he is also the ruler of a country on earth.

Even though immortals have magical powers, they dare not wantonly destroy the order and rules of the human court, because the laws of heaven and the rules of heaven do not allow it.

Jiu Ling Zhenren's words obviously hit the point, leaving Elder Wu Xiang speechless. After a moment of silence, he could only say: "How about this, fellow Taoists, please give me some time and let me investigate this matter, how about that?"

"No." Jiu Ling Zhenren said, "Qin Yue must be handed over to us. If we really kill him unjustly, we will be punished by heaven in the future. It has nothing to do with your Xiangji Temple."

Elder Wuxiang smiled faintly, shook his head and said: "I am here on the orders of my master to live in the world and save all living beings. If you don't have solid evidence, I will not let you take Qin Yue away."

Jiu Ling Zhenren asked: "May I ask who is your master?"

Elder Wuxiang put his hands together and sang loudly: "Namo Amitabha, my teacher is the Eastern Continent of the Divine Realm, the Holy Land of Wonderful Joy, with extraordinary compassion and great vows as strong as a rock, the Akshobhya Immovable Buddha."

Master Jiuling's expression changed drastically, his pupils shrank, and his face tightened.

She first glanced at the Wuxiang Elder in front of her, and then sent a voice message to the bewildered Liu Jin: "Nephew, I'm in trouble. This monk's master is the Eastern Unmovable Buddha."

"Buddha" Liu Jin's face was dull, with half shock and confusion in his eyes. The concepts of Buddha and Bodhisattva were very far away from her, but now they were so close to her. "Then" Liu Jin came back to his senses and sent a voice message to Jiu Ling Zhenren: "Uncle Master, why don't you give him some time to let him check it out first?"

Jiu Ling Zhenren sighed and said, "Silly nephew, it is a fact that Qin Yue killed Hui Lian. Although this monk did not know about it, his subordinates must have known about it. If we leave this matter to them to investigate, it will just end up in nothing."

Liu Jin said dejectedly: "What can I do? He is a disciple of Buddha. Can we defeat him?"

At this point, Liu Jin felt very sad. He wished his master, the immortal Yang Mei, was still alive.
Perhaps noticing Liu Jin's emotions, Jiu Ling Zhenren said, "Even if we can't win, we have to fight. So what if he's a Buddha? Can Buddha cover up evil and bully the weak?"

After saying that, Jiu Ling Zhenren said to Liu Jin, "Junior Brother Liu Jin, please step back first and let me talk to him."

Liu Jin nodded blankly upon hearing this, then flew back. At this time, True Man Jiu Ling raised her hand and summoned a long sword, which was her magic weapon, the immortal treasure 'Jingyun Sword'.

Jiu Ling Zhenren held the Jingyun Sword in his hand, pointed at Elder Wu Xiang and said, "Monk, don't use Buddha to pressure others. Since ancient times, good is good and evil is evil. The law of heaven is reincarnation, and retribution is inevitable. Since you have done evil, you must be punished. Today, I will kill Qin Yue!"

After saying that, Master Jiuling threw the Jingyun Sword directly towards Qin Yue below. The sword rang in the sky and the light broke through the void. The Jingyun Sword broke through the air and went straight towards Qin Yue.

Qin Yue only felt as if she was locked in by a fierce aura, with no way to escape or avoid it, and a strong sense of despair immediately arose in her heart.

However, at this moment, the Wuxiang elder shouted, "How dare you."

The next moment, a purple-gold bowl dropped from the sky, and with a loud bang, it pinned the Jingyun Sword to the ground.

"Dangdang" There was a series of tinkling sounds coming from the purple gold bowl. It was the Jingyun Sword crashing inside, but it was useless. The purple gold bowl was emitting a faint Buddhist light, which suppressed the Jingyun Sword underneath and prevented it from escaping.

Then Elder Wuxiang shouted at Master Jiuling: "Daoyou, this is a peaceful place, how can you mess around like that?"

As he spoke, Elder Wuxiang raised his hand and slapped out with the Buddhist dharma of 'Three Thousand Great Compassion Palms'.

In an instant, True Person Jiu Ling only saw countless huge hands coming down towards her from all directions. The powerful force pressed down on her, making it difficult for her to move.

But how could Jiu Ling Zhenren, as an ancient immortal, not have any skills? She just gave a light shout, and the next moment immortal light rose up around her body, and nine immortal seals flew out from her forehead, which was the 'Jiu Ling Return to God Seal'.

I saw the Nine Spirits Returning to the Gods Seal rise into the sky and transform into nine magic seals to protect the Nine Spirits Immortal inside. As the Three Thousand Great Compassion Palms hit the Nine Spirits Returning to the Gods Seal, I saw the Nine Spirits Returning to the Gods Seal lit up with endless fairy light. The next moment, the Three Thousand Great Compassion Palms instantly reversed the Tiangang and all hit towards Elder Wuxiang.

Elder Wuxiang's face changed, and he immediately took out a golden pestle from his sleeve and struck out.

The golden pestle flew out with a 'wu' sound, and then struck the air with a hammer. In an instant, ripples of magical power spread out, and the Three Thousand Great Compassion Palms were immediately shattered by the ripples of power from the golden pestle.

The ripples of power from the golden pestle continued to spread, and with a bang, it hit Master Jiuling. Master Jiuling's body was shaken, and he felt his internal organs shaking violently. His qi, blood, and magical power were temporarily disordered, and his face turned three parts pale.

But Master Jiu Ling quickly circulated his Taoist magic to stabilize the energy in his body, then he pinched his fingers and flicked them lightly forward.

There was a slight "thump" sound, and as Jiu Ling Zhenren's finger flicked out, the ripples of power generated by the golden pestle were instantly broken by Jiu Ling Zhenren's finger. In an instant, the wind swept the sky, and the energy spread for thousands of miles. The mortals in Tianyao City could see with their naked eyes that a ripple exploded in the sky above Xiangji Temple, and then spread in all directions, sweeping away the white clouds in the sky.

Immediately afterwards, True Man Jiuling formed seals with his hands, and then let out a light shout. In an instant, fairy light burst out of his mouth. With a "bang", the purple gold bowl that held the Jingyun Sword below was instantly overturned. The Jingyun Sword made a piercing sword chant, and then soared into the sky, killing Elder Wuxiang from the back.

"Abbot, be careful!" the monks below shouted in panic.

But Elder Wuxiang just put his hand together and chanted "Amitabha" softly. Then there was a "bang" sound, and a ray of Buddha's light appeared on Elder Wuxiang's body.

When the Jingyun Sword hit the Buddha's light, it was immediately blown away. Jiuling Zhenren hurriedly used his magic power and raised his hand to grab it. The Jingyun Sword was finally stabilized and flew back into Jiuling Zhenren's hands.

At this time, Elder Wuxiang looked at Master Jiuling and said, "Your magical power is not bad, I underestimated you. This 'Vajra Destruction Pestle' is a magical treasure bestowed by the Buddha, so be careful, fellow Taoist."

As soon as he finished speaking, Elder Wuxiang threw the golden pestle directly towards True Man Jiuling.

Upon seeing this, Master Jiu Ling immediately used the 'Nine Spirits Returning to the God Seal'. Nine seals rose into the air again and protected Master Jiu Ling's body.

"Woo" in a moment the Vajra Destroying Pestle had come over, and with a "dong" sound it hit the Nine Spirits Returning to the Gods Seal. Then with a "pop" sound the Nine Spirits Returning to the Gods Seal shattered.

True Man Jiuling was horrified and hurriedly used the Jingyun Sword to resist, but the Jingyun Sword, which was also a fairy treasure, shattered the moment it came into contact with the Vajra Destroying Pestle.

Master Jiuling felt a chill in his heart and despair appeared in his eyes. Then the Vajra-Destroying Pestle hit Master Jiuling on the forehead.

There was a loud 'bang' and a ball of blood burst out from above Jiu Ling Zhenren's head. Then Jiu Ling Zhenren's body flew backwards like a kite with a broken string.

"Uncle Master!!!" Upon seeing this scene, Liu Jin hurriedly flew over to catch Jiu Ling Zhenren. However, Jiu Ling Zhenren's skull had already burst, her head was wide open, blood was flowing all over her face, and magic power and vitality were constantly overflowing from her head.

"Uncle Master, Uncle Master, how are you?" Liu Jin asked crying when he saw the miserable state of Jiu Ling Zhenren.

Jiu Ling Zhenren grabbed Liu Jin's arm and said, "Child, hurry back to the temple. My calamity has come. Take me back to see that Taoist Guang Tu."

"Okay, uncle-master, hold on, I will take you back right away. Taoist Guangtu will definitely save you." Liu Jin said, and hurriedly picked up Taoist Jiuling and was about to leave.

But at this time, Elder Queming brought two other elders from Xiangji Temple to stop Liu Jin. Liu Jin was crying and his eyes were blurry. Seeing this, he cried and begged, "I won't take revenge. Can you let me take my uncle back? I beg you."

The other two elders showed a trace of pity and took a step to the side, but Elder Queming walked towards Liu Jin with an indifferent expression.

At this time, Qin Yue also shouted loudly: "Elders, do not let them leave. They are in cahoots with the fox demon."

But soon another voice rang out, "Let her go."

Elder Queming stopped and looked behind Liujin in astonishment. The person who spoke was Elder Wuxiang.

Elder Wuxiang put the Vajra Destruction Pestle and the purple gold bowl back into his sleeves, then waved his hand again and said, "Let them go."

"Master." Elder Queming said, "They are in cahoots with the monsters."

Elder Wuxiang frowned and rebuked, "You haven't seen it with your own eyes, so don't make any rash judgments. Let them go."

Elder Queming sighed inwardly, but immediately put his hands together and bowed, saying, "Yes, Master." Then he stepped aside.

At this time, Liu Jin turned around and glanced at Elder Wuxiang, then turned around, stepped on the clouds and flew back to Lingtai Temple with True Man Jiuling in his arms.
