I am a fairy in Journey to the West

Chapter 197: Good and Evil, Refining

Seeing that the gate of Tushita Palace was blocked, the God of Year and the God of Month were about to step forward to call for help, but were stopped by Zhuang Yan.

The two officials stood where they were, only to see Zhuang Yan walk forward and pat the shoulder of a deity in front of him.

The immortal turned around, wearing a golden robe and a human body with a tiger head, looking very majestic. "Hey? Lingtai Zhenjun? You are here too?" The immortal looked at Zhuang Yan and asked.

Zhuang Yan smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Yinhu, someone is looking for you over there." Then he pointed towards a bamboo forest not far from the Tushita Palace.

Yin Hu was a little surprised when he heard this. He looked towards the bamboo forest but saw nothing. "Who is it?"

Zhuang Yan said mysteriously, "You'll know when you go there."

Yin Hu scratched his head, but was also a little curious, so he bowed to Zhuang Yan and said, "Okay, thank you, Lingtai Zhenjun." Then he left the gate of Tushita Palace and walked towards the bamboo forest.

Zhuang Yan smiled, took a step forward, and continued to pat the shoulder of the immortal in front of him.

"Hey? Master Lingtai? Why are you here too?"

"Old man, someone is looking for you over there."

"Oh? Who is it?"

"You'll know when you go there."

"Oh, okay, thank you Lingtai Zhenjun."

"Master Lingtai?"

".Someone is looking for you over there."

"."

In just a few dozen breaths, Zhuang Yan cleared the road outside the Tushita Palace and entered the palace gate, only to find that the inside was still crowded with people.

Zhuang Yan was helpless and was about to use his old trick again, but he saw two boys squeezed out from the crowd, looked at Zhuang Yan and said, "Master Lingtai, this way."

Zhuang Yan walked up quickly, and the two boys immediately led Zhuang Yan through the crowd of gods and soon arrived at the central courtyard of the Tushita Palace.

All I saw here was a place with fierce gods and murderous aura. Taishang Laojun and Tota-Bearing Heavenly King stood together, and a group of great gods stood in the courtyard.

Wang Lingguan was wearing golden armor, a thunder robe, and holding a golden mace. He stood side by side with Tianpeng Zhenjun, Tianyou Zhenjun, and Yishen Zhenjun.

Ma Tianjun and Zhao Tianjun held a Nezha and stood on the left, while Marshal Wen and Marshal Guan held a Nezha and stood on the right.

The five marshals of the Thunder Department stood in the middle to separate the two Ne Zha, fearing that they would fight.

"Lord Lingtai is here." The two boys shouted at this time, and everyone's eyes were focused on them in an instant.

Zhuang Yan walked quickly forward, looked at everyone, bowed and said with a smile: "Wow, you are all here?" Then he came in front of Taishang Laojun.

Before Zhuang Yan could say anything, the two Ne Zha became extremely excited and started struggling immediately.

Seeing that they couldn't hold on any longer, the four marshals Ma, Zhao, Wen and Guan quickly let go to avoid hurting themselves.

After being refined in the Bagua furnace and all the medicinal power of the golden elixir was refined into his body, Nezha's strength has improved by leaps and bounds.

If the gods had not tried their best to dissuade them, and if this was not Laojun's place, I'm afraid that it would not have been possible to hold them back by human beings alone, and the two Neza would have demolished the Tushita Palace if they had fought each other.

Seeing Zhuang Yan arrive, the two Nezha broke free from the four marshals Ma, Zhao, Wen and Guan, and flashed in front of Zhuang Yan.

"Master Lingtai, is it you who is behind this?" Nezha on the left shouted.

Nezha on the right also said: "Master Lingtai, I agreed to enter the furnace only because you said it was okay. Now it has turned out like this, you have to take responsibility!"

After saying this, the two Ne Zha started arguing again, accusing each other of being fake.

The Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King on the side quickly said, "My son, please stop making noise and listen to what the True Lord of the Spiritual Platform has to say."

As soon as Tota-Bearing Heavenly King finished speaking, the two Nezha became quiet at the same time, which surprised Tota-Bearing Heavenly King very much.

Nezha on the left said, "Master Lingtai, please tell me, who is the real one and who is the fake one between us?"

The one on the right also said, "Yes, Master Lingtai, tell me, who is real and who is fake between us?"

The Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King also asked: "Master Lingtai, who among them is my Nezha child?"

Zhuang Yan looked at the two Ne Zha's and saw that they were both standing there with their heads held high and their chests puffed out. Their expressions, attire, looks, and facial expressions were exactly the same.

Even the look in their eyes was the same. Seeing this, even the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King shook his head, "They are so similar, they are basically the same person."

Jidu Star Lord, one of the Nine Star Lords in the back, shook his head and said, "If he can't even tell his own father apart, it would be even harder for others to recognize him."

Luohou Xingjun said: "Since Lingtai Zhenjun has been invited, he should be able to identify it."

Zhuang Yan coughed and said, "Well, the two Third Princes were both born from Laojun's alchemy furnace. What does Laojun say?"

Taishang Laojun smiled and said, "Master Lingtai, you were the one who blessed my alchemy furnace. You know this better than me, right?"

"Oh? When did Lingtai Zhenjun bless Laojun's alchemy furnace?" asked Tianpeng Zhenjun.

Taishang Laojun smiled and said, "Not long ago."

Yisheng Zhenjun smiled and said, "Fortunately it happened not long ago. If it happened earlier, it would be a big trouble if there were two Monkey Kings."

At this time, Huode Xingjun asked: "Lingtai Zhenjun, which Third Prince is the real one?"

Zhuang Yan said, "Everyone, these two Nezha the Third Princes have exactly the same magical powers, magical powers, Taoist practices, attire, magic weapons, appearance, expressions, and habits. Is there a possibility that they are both real?"

"Are they all true?" the gods asked in surprise.

Even the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King was startled. The two Nezha were stunned at first, and then they immediately became angry, "Master Lingtai, what nonsense are you talking about? How can there be two real Nezha in the world?"

Seeing the two Ne Zha about to fight, Zhuang Yan quickly said, "Don't be impatient, don't be impatient, listen to me."

But the two Ne Zha had already started fighting each other, calling each other a fake and fighting each other in a fierce battle.

The gods and immortals around hurriedly dodged, fearing that they would be affected. Seeing this, the Heavenly King Tota became anxious and said, "Master Lingtai, what you said is the same as what you said. What do you think we should do now?"

Zhuang Yan smiled and said, "Don't worry, Heavenly King. Listen to me. These two Nezha are indeed real. Although it seems that Laojun's alchemy furnace has refined two Nezha Third Prince, they are actually still one person, just two sides of the same coin."

"Two sides of the same coin?" The Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King asked in confusion, "How do you mean?"

Zhuang Yan pointed at the two Nezha fighting fiercely and said, "They are originally one, but one has a good side and the other has an evil side."

At this time, the Tushita Palace was in chaos. The immortals who came to watch the fun had packed the palace tightly. Now that the two Nezas had started fighting, these immortal officials would be the first to be affected.

The Nine Star Gods were running to hide, the Five Stars were trying to avoid them in a hurry, and the Twenty-Eight Stars wanted to step forward to stop the fight, but were blown away by the power of the two Ne Zha's fighting.

Wherever the two Ne Zha fight, the gods there will be in trouble, unless those with strong strength can protect themselves from being affected.

At this moment, the star official of Angri, one of the twenty-eight constellations, came over, straightened his messy clothes, and then asked Zhuang Yan: "Master Lingtai, how do we distinguish which is the good side and which is the evil side?"

Looking at the chaotic situation in front of him, Tota Heavenly King also said anxiously: "Master Lingtai, please stop keeping us in suspense and speak quickly."

Zhuang Yan said: "Then I will tell you."

"Hurry up and tell me." The Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King urged.

Zhuang Yan smiled and said, "It is actually very simple to distinguish which is the good side and which is the evil side. Heavenly King, please lend me your pagoda."

The Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then he handed his pagoda to Zhuang Yan and said, "What do you want my pagoda for, Master?"

Zhuang Yan did not say anything, but took the pagoda from the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, then smiled and flew aside.

"Hmm?" Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King was stunned for a moment and asked, "Master Lingtai, what do you mean?"

As soon as the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King finished speaking, he suddenly felt a fierce murderous intent rushing towards him, and then a murderous voice rang in his ears: "Old thief, die."

The Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King looked hurriedly, and saw a Nezha with three heads and six arms, holding various magic weapons and rushing towards him. The Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he quickly shouted: "Master Lingtai, hurry, the pagoda! My pagoda!"

Zhuang Yan remained indifferent, but another loud shout came from the other side. It turned out that another Nezha also displayed his three heads and six arms. He appeared at an extremely fast speed and stood in front of the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, taking the attack from the first Nezha.

"Don't hurt my father." The later Nezha shouted.

The first Nezha shouted, "You fake bastard, I killed my own father, what does it have to do with you?"

The other Nezha said, "What do you mean your father? This is my father, you are the fake one."

At this time, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King behind him finally came to his senses, slapped his thigh, pointed at the Nezha who was blocking his way and shouted: "This is the real Nezha." Then he pointed at the other Nezha who wanted to kill him and said: "This is the fake Nezha."

"What?!" The evil-faced Nezha got angry when he heard it, and then he said to the good-natured Nezha: "You said you are the real Nezha, but have you forgotten how he forced us to cut off our flesh to return to our mother and cut off our bones to return to our father?"

Good-hearted Nezha said: "How can I forget? But this hatred has been resolved by the Buddha, and I have let it go long ago."

"Bullshit!" said the evil-faced Nezha, "Why would you let it go for me? Today I will kill this old villain to avenge my blood feud."

After that, the two Neza started fighting again, and this time they both had three heads and six arms. The Tushita Palace could no longer accommodate two people, so they fought their way out of the Tushita Palace.

The surrounding gods hurriedly chased out, even Tianpeng Zhenjun and Wang Lingguan followed. They came there just to prevent any major incidents.

Seeing the two Ne Zha fighting out of Tushita Palace, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King was really anxious, "Master Lingtai, hurry up and think of a solution. Otherwise, how about you, Laojun, re-refining them?"

Taishang Laojun glanced at the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King and said, "That is a person, not an elixir, so it cannot be put back into the furnace for re-refining."

The Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King said, "Leave the good one and refine the evil one. Is that okay?"

Taishang Laojun smiled. Zhuang Yan came over and said, "Heavenly King, you can't treat Nezha as your son only when he doesn't want to kill you."

The Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King stepped forward and snatched the pagoda from Zhuang Yan's hand, spreading his hands and saying, "What can I do? Anyway, this is a matter caused by Laojun and Lingtai Zhenjun, you have to take care of it to the end, otherwise I will go to the Jade Emperor to complain."

“Hahaha.” Taishang Laojun laughed and said, “Didn’t Lingtai Zhenjun already say that? The two Ne Zha were originally one person, just two sides of the same coin. In fact, they are one person.”

The Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King said: "It looks like two, so there are two. Don't worry about two sides of the same coin. We are only talking about quantity."

Zhuang Yan also laughed and said, "I think the Heavenly King is also worried and confused. In fact, this is also a good thing for Nezha."

"A good thing?" The Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King asked, "Can this be called a good thing?"

Zhuang Yan nodded and said, "It is indeed a good thing. Do you know why the Tathagata Buddha gave you a tower when he resurrected Nezha?"

The Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King asked in confusion: "Why?"

Taishang Laojun said: "Because although Tathagata Buddha rebuilt Nezha's body and resurrected him, he did not resolve his hatred for you, so he gave you a pagoda so that Nezha can see the pagoda as if he saw the Buddha. After so many years, even though Nezha has gradually let go of what happened in the past, he still has a grudge in his heart."

Zhuang Yan took over the words of Taishang Laojun and said: "This is a good opportunity to let Nezha break his obsession, return to his true nature, and achieve the highest level of Taoism."

The Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King suddenly realized what was going on, and immediately stroked his long beard and said with a smile: "So that's how it is."

But soon he pointed at the two Nezha who were fighting fiercely outside and said, "Then what should we do?"

Zhuang Yan smiled and said, "Laojun, Heavenly King, please follow me."

Hearing this, Taishang Laojun and Tota-Bearing Heavenly King nodded, and then followed Zhuang Yan out of the Tushita Palace.

Outside the Tushita Palace, they saw two Nezas fighting fiercely with their three heads and six arms. None of the gods and immortals around them dared to approach within a thousand feet.

"It seems that Nezha the Third Prince is stronger than before." said the Rat while lying on the Dog's back.

Because the Rat was short and looked like a child, the Dog carried him on his back to watch the fun.

The dog said: "The Laojun's alchemy furnace is no joke. Sun Wukong got a golden eye after entering it, and Nezha the Third Prince not only became two after entering it, but also became stronger."

Chen Long said with a smile: "Brother Xu Gou, when will your alchemy furnace be able to have such miraculous effects?"

Xu Gou said with a smile: "Old Dragon, why don't you take out your treasures to support me and build a good alchemy furnace for me?"

Chen Long pretended not to hear and turned around and shouted, "Good! Good fight."

Xu Gou rolled his eyes, and at this time Zhuang Yan came over and said to the two Na Zha: "Stop fighting, both of you, and listen to me."

Shannian Nezha said: "What good words do you have? You have been talking for a long time but none of your words hit the point."

The evil Nezha even said, "Why should I listen to you? Am I your father or your grandfather? Should I listen to your nonsense? I am not the Nezha I used to be. I am so powerful now!"

Zhuang Yan smiled, took out a pottery jar, and said to the evil Nezha: "Don't be crazy, do you dare to make a bet with me?"

The evil Nezha asked, "What are you betting on?"

Zhuang Yan pointed at the pottery jar in his hand and said, "You bet I can put you in this pottery jar within ten breaths."

The evil Nezha laughed loudly and said, "What kind of power does a small pottery jar have? Well, I will bet with you. What is the bet?"

Zhuang Yan said: "If I lose, I will call you grandpa. If you lose, you will be refined by him." Zhuang Yan pointed at the kind-hearted Nezha and said.

The evil Nezha looked at the good Nezha, then nodded and said, "Okay, it's a deal then. Let them count." The evil Nezha said, pointing at the gods around him.

"It's a deal. Let's begin." Zhuang Yan nodded.

At this time, the gods were about to start counting, but they saw that the evil Nezha turned into a divine light and disappeared. Even the good Nezha did not react.

"Despicable." The kind-hearted Nezha said angrily.

But Zhuang Yan only said the word "collect" at this time. A divine light flashed in the sky, and the evil Nezha only let out an unwilling roar, and was directly collected into the pottery jar.

When the gods and immortals saw this scene, they gathered around to watch. Zhuang Yan passed the clay jar in front of the gods and immortals, and they saw a three-headed and six-armed Nezha in the jar, smashing things around, but he was only powerless and furious.

"Awesome." The gods gave Zhuang Yan a thumbs up.

At this time, the kind-hearted Nezha also retracted his Dharma image and came to Zhuang Yan. He also looked into the pottery jar and then said, "Master Lingtai, how about killing him?"

Zhuang Yan waved his hand and said, "No, you and he are one and the same. Without either of you, you are not the real Nezha. You must refine him well, cut off the obsession in your heart, and return to your true nature, only then can you achieve the full effect. Otherwise, you will have entered this Bagua furnace in vain."

Upon hearing this, the kind-hearted Nezha nodded and said, "So that's how it is. I understand."

Zhuang Yan handed the pottery jar to the kind-hearted Nezha and told him the formula for controlling the seal of the pottery jar. Then he said, "Whether you can refine the evil thoughts and get rid of the obsession next depends on you."

The kind-hearted Nezha took the pottery jar and bowed to Zhuang Yan, saying, "Thank you, Master Lingtai."

Zhuang Yan waved his hand and said with a smile: "You are welcome, Third Prince."

At this time, the gods and immortals around saw that there was no more excitement to watch, so they said goodbye to each other and slowly dispersed.

Instead, the dog came to Zhuang Yan, looked around, and asked in a low voice: "Master Lingtai, what did you bless Laojun's alchemy furnace with? How did you refine two Nezha?"

Zhuang Yan smiled and said, "Do you want to know, Taoist Dog?"

"Let's think about it." Xu Gou nodded repeatedly and said, "Since Lingtai Zhenjun can bless Laojun's alchemy furnace, he can probably bless my alchemy furnace too, right? How about blessing one for me, too?"

Zhuang Yan smiled and said, "Of course." After that, he wrote the "Critical Hit" status on a talisman, handed it to Xu Gou and said, "Daoyou, just take this talisman back and stick it on the alchemy furnace. As long as you see these two words appear on the alchemy furnace, it means the blessing is successful."

Xu Gou looked at the word "Critical Hit" on the talisman Zhuang Yan pointed at, and quickly took the talisman and said, "Hey, thank you, Master."

Zhuang Yan smiled and said, "You are welcome, fellow Taoist."

The Dog put away the talisman, but unexpectedly the Tiger came over and asked in confusion, "Master Lingtai, who did you say was looking for me? Why can't I see anyone when I get there?"

Behind Yinhu was the old man, who also asked Yinhu, "Brother Yinhu, you haven't told me why you are looking for me?"

As for the old man of longevity, there was another immortal following behind him, who also asked in confusion, "Old man of longevity, brother Yinhu, what on earth do you want to see me for?"

Seeing a long line of gods following behind him, Zhuang Yan ran away without saying a word. His figure flashed and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.
