I am a fairy in Journey to the West

Chapter 213: Obtaining Dragon Qi and Returning to Dao Mansion

Wu Zhao looked at the water column rising into the air in front of him, and then saw the god with a dragon head and a human body above the water column, and was stunned for a moment.

Ao Jun, the dragon king of Chan River, looked down at Wu Zhao and saw that she had heroic eyebrows and extraordinary bearing, and there was a divine aura hidden inside. He couldn't help but think in his heart: "This girl is naturally beautiful and doesn't seem like an ordinary person."

Then Ao Jun said, "I am the Dragon King of the Chan River. Who are you? Why do you want to see me?"

Wu Zhao was startled, then quickly bowed and said, "I am Wu Zhao, the Taoist child of the Immortal Garden, and I am here to meet the Dragon God of Chan River. Please allow me to report that I have received a portion of the Taoist method from you. However, the Taoist method is profound. If you want to practice it, you must first obtain a true dragon's energy to refine the body. Therefore, I have come here with my friends, hoping to ask the Dragon God of Chan River to grant me a true dragon's energy to help me practice. If you can fulfill your wish and succeed in your practice in the future, I will definitely reward you generously and I will never break my promise."

Ao Jun asked, "What kind of Taoism is this? Do you need to refine the true dragon energy to practice it?"

Wu Zhao bowed and said, "Return to the Dragon God, this method is called 'Soaring Dragon True Method'. Those who practice this method can soar into the sky like a real dragon, fly through the universe, and condense the true dragon Dharma. However, the conditions for practice are extremely harsh. One must first obtain a true dragon's aura before practicing."

"So that's how it is." Ao Jun nodded slightly, then stopped talking, staring closely at Wu Zhao's face.

Wu Zhao was neither humble nor arrogant, his eyes were looking straight ahead without any strange expression.

Ao Jun stared at her for a while, and when he saw that there was no panic in her eyes and no abnormality in her expression, he felt relieved.

"It's really rare for a seven-year-old child to be neither humble nor arrogant, and not panicky or confused in front of me. He will not lie to me," Ao Jun thought to himself.

After a brief pause, Ao Jun said to Wu Zhao, "You are a seven-year-old child, and you have come all the way here to seek the true dragon energy. I should have given you a favor. But I am afraid that this energy will fall into the hands of demons and destroy my merits and achievements. Therefore, I want to check your three souls and seven spirits. Are you willing?"

When Wu Zhao heard this, he immediately bowed and said, "Dragon God, please check."

Ao Jun nodded slightly, and then a divine light suddenly shot out from his pair of dragon eyes. The divine light flew down and instantly flew into Wu Zhao's forehead.

Wu Zhao's whole body stiffened and he lost consciousness instantly.

An unknown amount of time had passed, but when Wu Zhao opened his eyes again, he saw the Dragon King Temple and the statue of the Chan River Dragon King.

"Oh no." Wu Zhao was panicked. "The Dragon King had already entered my dream just now, but I woke up at the wrong time."

Just when Wu Zhao was filled with regret, she felt a powerful and clear aura in her mind. She was slightly startled, and then a majestic voice came from her mind: "Child, you have a sincere heart, so this true dragon aura is bestowed upon you. I hope you will practice well in the future, do good deeds, and don't do evil, otherwise this god will not forgive you."

Hearing this voice, Wu Zhao was delighted and immediately bowed his head and said, "I bow to the Dragon God to thank you."

But the voice of the Chan River Dragon King did not sound again. Wu Zhao kowtowed three more times before slowly standing up.

Baoer at the side asked quickly: "Wu Tou'er, who are you thanking?"

Wu Zhao said: "Thank you, Dragon King of Chan River."

"Ah? Where is the Dragon King?" Baoer looked around hurriedly.

Wu Zhao said, "Isn't it right in front of you?" Wu Zhao pointed at the statue of the Dragon King of Chan River.

Baoer looked up hastily, only to see the statue of the Chan River Dragon King, so he said with some disappointment: "I thought it was the Dragon King who showed up."

Wu Zhao smiled and said, "Lord Dragon has already appeared, but you didn't see it."

"Ah!" Baoer was surprised when he heard this: "But I didn't even blink just now."

Wu Zhao said: "You can't see it even if you blink your eyes. The Chan River Dragon King appeared in my dream just now."

"Oh," Baoer was a little disappointed when she heard this, and said, "I also want to meet the Dragon King. Hey, Wutou, did the Dragon King give you the dragon energy?"

Wu Zhao nodded and smiled: "I gave it to you. We can go back now."

"Oh, okay!" Baoer nodded, then stood up.

At this time, Wu Zhao had already turned around and walked out of the Dragon King Temple. Baoer followed behind him. Suddenly, he stopped, turned around and ran to the statue of the Chan River Dragon King. He held the altar with both hands, raised his head and whispered, "Lord Dragon, can you come to my dream? I haven't seen a real dragon yet? We agreed that you can come again after Baoer falls asleep at night. Thank you."

"Baoer, let's go." Wu Zhao's voice sounded outside the temple.

When Baoer heard the voice, he quickly responded, "I'm coming." Then he turned back and waved to the statue, saying, "Goodbye, Dragon King."

After saying that, Baoer turned around and walked out of the Dragon King Temple. Wu Zhao was waiting for her outside.

Afterwards, Wu Zhao and Baoer left Yanhe Village and walked back along the way they came. At first, nothing happened, but after they were far away from Yanhe Village, Wu Zhao suddenly found that several men had been following him and Baoer.

When Wu Zhao turned around to look, they were pretending to be people on the road, walking slowly and talking and laughing.

Wu Zhao frowned and whispered to Baoer, "Hurry up."

Baoer was still unaware. Hearing this, he looked at Wu Zhao with some confusion. Seeing Wu Zhao's serious expression, he couldn't help but ask, "Wu, what's wrong?"

Wu Zhao said: "There are a few people following us, sneaking all the way from Yanhe Village to here. They might be human traffickers."

"What are human teeth?" Baoer asked.

Wu Zhao said: "They are human traffickers, bad people who buy and sell people."

"Bad guys?" Baoer asked nervously, "What should we do? They seem to be getting closer and closer to us."

Wu Zhao turned around and took a look, and indeed saw that those people had sped up, and she felt a little flustered for a moment.

Suddenly Wu Zhao's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said to Bao'er: "Bao'er, come on, show your ears and tail."

Baoer was very obedient. Upon hearing that, she immediately released the demonic power in her body. Her clothes fluttered, her hair flew, and a pair of furry ears and a long squirrel tail were immediately revealed.

Wu Zhao turned Baoer's body around and saw that she had long flying hair, a tail behind her, a pair of ears on her head, and especially her eyes, which looked even more enchanting with the blessing of demonic power.

Seeing this scene, those people immediately screamed, "Monster!"

"Go away." Those people were so frightened that their hair stood on end. They stopped immediately and dared not move forward.

Wu Zhao said to Bao Er, "Go ahead."

"I don't dare." Baoer whispered, "Wutou'er, I'm scared."

Wu Zhao did not hesitate, he pushed Bao Er on the back and pushed her out, saying: "They are afraid of you."

Bao'er was pushed out by Wu Zhao's palm, and she immediately stumbled and ran out. Seeing this, Bao'er could only bite the bullet and rush forward with his teeth and claws bared.

When the men saw Baoer rushing over, the leader shouted, "Go!"

All of a sudden, those guys turned around and ran. Before Baoer had taken a dozen steps, they had already run hundreds of steps, and were getting farther and farther away.

Seeing that those human gangsters were really scared away, Baoer was no longer afraid. He cheered and ran back to Wu Zhao and said, "Wu, you are really awesome. They were really scared away."

Wu Zhao did not relax at all, but said: "Let's go quickly, it will be bad if they react."

Hearing this, Baoer nodded in response, then followed Wu Zhao and quickly left the place. The two did not dare to stay for a moment, and after entering the mountain, they hurried back.

Just as Wu Zhao said, the human traffickers came to their senses afterwards and returned to the place just an incense stick of time after Wu Zhao and the other man left.

Fortunately, Wu Zhao and the other man had already entered the mountains, and they couldn't find them even if they tried to look for them.

Four days later, Wu Zhao and Bao Er returned to Zhuoxian Garden without any trouble, but when they arrived at the gate, they found that the place had changed a lot. First of all, the main gate that originally looked like a luxurious mansion was changed into a palace gate in the shape of a Taoist temple, which looked majestic, simple and clean.

Secondly, there is the plaque. The plaque with the three characters "Zhuoxianyuan" has long been removed, and replaced by a plaque with the four big characters "Lingtai Daogong".

"Huh?" Baoer scratched his head and asked curiously, "Wutouer, why has this place changed?"

Wu Zhao also said in bewilderment: "I don't know either."

Baoer glanced at Wu Zhao secretly, and then said, "Wu Tou'er, could it be that someone else has taken over here? Has your grandfather moved again?"

Hearing this, Wu Zhao's face changed and he immediately said, "Wait for me here."

Baoer nodded and said, "Okay, Wutouer."

Then Wu Zhao trotted into the palace gate. As soon as she entered the palace, she breathed a sigh of relief. Although the various decorations inside had changed, she recognized that some of the lantern decorations were from Wangshu's work.

Wu Zhao walked along the familiar road, through the corridors and courtyards, all the way to the Xuanqing Book Pavilion. When she saw Zhuang Yan's figure in the pavilion, Wu Zhao was completely relieved.

Then she quickly entered the library, came to Zhuang Yan and bowed, "Greetings, Master."

Zhuang Yan looked up and saw Wu Zhao, who was covered in dust. He smiled and said, "Have you found the true dragon energy?"

Wu Zhao bowed with a smile on his face and said, "Master, I have obtained a true dragon energy from the Dragon King of Chan River."

Zhuang Yan nodded slightly, and then said: "Okay, now that you have found the real dragon, you can start practicing the "Dragon Taming True Method". Go wash up first, and then have a good rest for a day, and then you can practice."

Wu Zhao bowed and replied, "Yes, sir."

At this point, Wu Zhao hesitated for a moment and said, "Master, I have an unwelcome request."

Zhuang Yan said, “Speak.”

Wu Zhao said, "Master, I was searching for dragons and qi all the way thanks to the help of a good friend. Although she is a monster, she is kind-hearted, innocent and simple. She accompanied me all the way and helped me find the Dragon King of Chan River. Master, I would like to ask you to take her in as well. Oh no, take her into our Lingtai Dao Palace."

"Is it a monster?" Zhuang Yan smiled calmly and asked, "Where is she?"

Wu Zhao quickly said, "It's just outside the palace."

Zhuang Yan said: "Bring her to see me."

Wu Zhao was delighted and bowed quickly, "Yes, sir."

Then Wu Zhao turned around and left Xuanqing Book Pavilion, and came to the outside of Lingtai Taoist Palace, where he saw Baoer squatting outside, holding a branch in his hand to play with ants, and occasionally emitting a silver bell-like laugh.

"Baoer." Wu Zhao called out.

Baoer stood up quickly, turned around and smiled at Wu Zhao: "Wu, what's going on? Is grandpa still here?"

Wu Zhao nodded and smiled, "The master is here, come with me quickly, the master wants to see you."

"Ah?!" Baoer was stunned when he heard this, and then asked nervously: "Why does grandpa want to see me?"

Wu Zhao walked up, took Bao Er's hand and said, "Don't ask so many questions, just follow me."

Wu Zhao then pulled Bao Er towards the Taoist palace. Bao Er said in fear, "Wu Boss, I... I don't dare to go."

"What's wrong?" Wu Zhao asked doubtfully, "The master won't eat you."

Bao Er shrank his neck and said with fear on his face: "But I am afraid."

"There's nothing to be afraid of." Wu Zhao held Bao'er's hand tightly and said with a smile: "Come with me, the boss is here."

Hearing this, Baoer felt a little relieved. Although he was very scared, he still followed Wu Zhao towards Xuanqing Book Pavilion.

Along the way, Baoer only saw layers of Xuanxiao Danque with carved beams and painted buildings, magnificent pavilions and towers, colorful corridors and corridors, the moonlit cloud steps reflecting the clear light, and beautiful grasses and colorful flowers all over the garden. It was truly an immortal palace and an immortal home.

Not long after, Wu Zhao brought Bao'er into Xuanqing Book Pavilion. Bao'er looked around with shock and curiosity until she saw Zhuang Yan standing there.

The moment Baoer saw Zhuang Yan, she was startled, then quickly lowered her head and stood beside Wu Zhao, somewhat at a loss.

Wu Zhao stepped forward to report, but found that Baoer was holding her hand tightly and refused to let go, her palms were full of cold sweat.

Wu Zhao turned around and smiled at Bao'er, then pulled her forward and bowed, then said, "Master, she is Bao'er."

Zhuang Yan's eyes fell on Bao'er, but Bao'er knelt on the ground with a plop. Although she was nervous and confused at the moment, she still knelt on the ground and kowtowed, saying, "Shu Bao'er greets Grandpa."

"Hahaha." Zhuang Yan laughed.

Wu Zhaoze said somewhat awkwardly: "Bao'er, it's Master, not Grandpa."

Baoer became even more flustered when he heard this, and quickly kowtowed and bowed, and asked: "Shu Baoer greets the master, how is the master doing recently?"

Zhuang Yan smiled again, looked at the little guy who was shaking nervously on the ground, and said, "I'm fine recently, Tong'er, let your friend get up, no need to be polite."

Wu Zhao bowed and said, "Yes." Then he personally pulled Baoer up from the ground.

After getting up, Baoer's face was covered in cold sweat. There was no trace of his usual liveliness and happiness. Instead, he was nervous and embarrassed, with a pair of little feet that didn't know how to move and a pair of little hands that didn't know where to put.

Zhuang Yan smiled when he saw this and asked Bao Er, "Do you have any other family members at home?"

Bao'er didn't respond, so Wu Zhao patted her gently and asked, "Master is asking you, are there any other family members at home?"

Baoer reacted suddenly, quickly raised his head and glanced at Zhuang Yan, then quickly shook his head and said, "No, no, I'm the only mouse left in my house."

Zhuang Yan nodded and smiled, "In that case, my Lingtai Dao Palace is still short of a boy to help with the filling. Are you willing to come?"

"Oil-adding boy, what is that?" Baoer asked with his head down.

Wu Zhao said, "He is the boy who is responsible for adding scented oil to the lamps in the temple dedicated to the gods and Buddhas. All you have to do is agree to it."

Baoer secretly glanced at Wu Zhao and said, "Wu Tou'er, I want to be with you."

Wu Zhao smiled and said, "As long as you agree, you can move in and live with me."

Hearing this, Baoer was overjoyed. Without saying a word, he knelt on the ground and bowed to Zhuang Yan, saying, "Thank you, Master. I am willing to be your oil-adding boy."

Zhuang Yan smiled and nodded, then waved his hand and said with a smile: "Okay, Wu Tong'er, take her downstairs and arrange accommodation. You guys are dirty, go downstairs and wash yourself, have a night's rest, and come see me tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, Wu Zhao bowed and said, "Yes, disciple, obey your command."

Bao Er followed suit and bowed, "Disciple obeys your command."

Afterwards, Wu Zhao bid farewell to Zhuang Yan and left Xuanqing Book Pavilion with Baoer.
