I am a fairy in Journey to the West

Chapter 214: The Big Moon and the Dark Sky, Wangshu's Enlightenment

Early the next morning, Wu Zhao opened Baoer's door.

Baoer, wearing a snow-white middle-length dress, opened the door yawning. Her hair, which had just been washed and combed last night, was now messy like a bird's nest.

Wu Zhao rolled his eyes when he saw it. "I spent three quarters of an hour combing your hair last night. How come it's messed up overnight?"

Baoer reached out and touched his head, then said to Wu Zhao: "Boss, I want to sleep a little longer."

"No." Wu Zhao grabbed Baoer's hand and pulled her out, "I have to comb your hair today."

So Wu Zhao forcibly dragged Bao'er into the hall of the courtyard where they lived. Wu Zhao pressed Bao'er on a chair, then took out a mirror and a comb and continued to comb Bao'er's hair.

Baoer sat there with sleepy eyes, trying hard to keep his eyes open, but soon his eyes became smaller and smaller, and finally he lowered his head and fell asleep.

Wu Zhao didn't wake her up, but just focused on combing her hair. Even though his combing movements were very rough and Baoer's head was shaking left and right, she didn't wake up.

After another cup of tea, Wu Zhao combed Baoer's hair into two buns and tied them with red ropes, making her look cute and playful.

Just then, a voice came from outside the courtyard: "Is Brother Wu Zhao here?"

Wu Zhao was stunned when he heard the voice, because it was not Zhuang Yan's voice. But in this palace, besides himself, there were only Zhuang Yan and Wangshu, so whose voice was this?

Wu Zhao put down the comb and walked out, and immediately saw a tall Taoist priest in Taoist robes standing outside his yard.

When Wu Zhao saw the Taoist priest's face clearly, he was immediately surprised, "Benefactor?!"

After saying that, Wu Zhao hurried over, opened the bamboo door, looked at Tieguai Li and said, "Brother Benefactor? Why are you here?"

Tieguai Li also recognized Wu Zhao. He was surprised and said, "Huh? It's you." Tieguai Li suddenly realized, "You are the Taoist boy beside the Taoist master?"

"Who is the Taoist master?" Wu Zhao asked puzzledly.

Tieguai Li smiled and said, "It's the master you mentioned. Since he built the Lingtai Taoist Palace, he is naturally the 'Lingtai Taoist Master'."

Wu Zhao was a little surprised to hear this and said, "Shouldn't it be the Palace Master or the Temple Master?"

Tieguai Li smiled and said, "The palace master is someone else."

"Who is it?" Wu Zhao asked again.

Tieguai Li said: "It is Master Wangshu."

Wu Zhao suddenly realized what was going on. She invited Tieguai Li into the courtyard and asked, "Where is Sister Wangshu?"

Tieguai Li said: "I am in seclusion now."

Coming to the hall, looking at Bao'er sleeping soundly on the chair, Tieguai Li couldn't help but smile and said, "She's sleeping so soundly."

After saying this, Tieguai Li placed the oil-paper box in his hand on the table and opened it, saying, "Two days ago, the master said that a little girl would come to our Taoist temple and asked me to go to the city to order two sets of Taoist robes. I just came back from Chang'an City today and sent these robes here."

Hearing this, Wu Zhao said in surprise: "Master knew about this two days ago?"

Tieguai Li laughed and said, "It's normal for gods to be able to predict the future, isn't it?"

Wu Zhao was stunned. It seemed to be true. However, Zhuang Yan was able to predict that Baoer would come two days ago, which still made her admire him.

Wu Zhao then reacted and asked Tieguai Li, "Brother, why are you here?"

"Oh." Tieguai Li smiled and said, "I have become a monk here and am now a Taoist priest in the Taoist Palace. By the way, you entered the Taoist temple before me, so I have to call you Brother Taoist."

“I dare not.” Wu Zhao waved his hands repeatedly and said, “Big brother saved my life. Although I came in earlier, I dare not go first. Big brother, just call me by my name.”

Tieguai Li said with a smile: "Seniority is seniority, favor is favor, each has its own way, some things can't be messed up."

After saying that, Tieguai Li cupped his hands and said, "The Taoist robe has been delivered. I will go to Xuanqing Book Pavilion first."

Wu Zhao hurried to see Tieguai Li off. After Tieguai Li left, Wu Zhao returned and woke up Baoer and asked her to change clothes.

Half an hour later, after washing and packing, Wu Zhao brought Baoer to Xuanqing Book Pavilion to see Zhuang Yan.

Tieguai Li was already here. When he saw Wu Zhao and Baoer coming, he immediately greeted them with a smile.

When Baoer saw Tieguai Li, his eyes lit up and he asked, "Eh? Big brother, why are you here too?"

Tieguai Li smiled and said, "We will be a family from now on."

Wu Zhao said to Baoer, "Baoer, call him Senior Brother. This elder brother will be the same as us from now on."

"Wow." Baoer said happily, "That's great." Then he called out "Senior Brother."

Wu Zhao seemed to remember something at this moment, and hurriedly bowed to Tieguai Li and said, "I haven't asked you yet, big brother, what's your name?"

Tieguai Li smiled and said, "My last name is Li and my given name is Zhen."

Wu Zhao immediately called out, "Brother Li."

Tieguai Li smiled slightly and said no more. Wu Zhao can call him whatever he wants. People who practice Taoism don't like to be serious.

Afterwards, Wu Zhao and Baoer went forward to greet Zhuang Yan. Although Baoer was not as frightened as yesterday, he still seemed very reserved.

After the two of them greeted Zhuang Yan, Zhuang Yan said to Wu Zhao: "Now that you have the energy of a true dragon, you can practice according to the methods in the "True Dragon Taming Method". If you have any questions, you can ask me at any time."

"Yes, sir." Wu Zhao responded respectfully.

Then Zhuang Yan looked at Bao'er again and said, "As for Bao'er, she only has a weak demonic power. I don't think she has any skills."

Hearing this, Wu Zhao bowed and said, "Master, please be merciful and give Bao'er a martial arts method?" Zhuang Yan smiled and said to Tieguai Li, "Take Bao'er to the Taoist Pavilion and let her see the Taoist stele."

Tieguai Li immediately bowed and said, "Yes."

Then Tieguai Li smiled and said to Baoer, "Junior Sister Baoer, come with me."

Baoer looked up at Wu Zhao, who nodded and said, "Go ahead, Brother Li will bring you back later."

"Yeah." Baoer nodded, then followed Tieguai Li out of Xuanqing Book Pavilion.

After Tieguai Li and Baoer left, Zhuang Yan asked Wu Zhao to practice "The True Method of Taming Dragons" here. Wu Zhao accepted the order and then sat down cross-legged on the spot, made hand seals and began to practice Taoism.

As the "True Dragon Taming Method" began to work, the true dragon energy hidden in Wu Zhao's body was immediately attracted by the Taoism and immediately entered Wu Zhao's Dantian.

As Wu Zhao continued to practice the "True Dragon Taming Method", the true dragon energy began to be refined by the "True Dragon Taming Method" and was integrated into Wu Zhao's acupoints and body in the form of circulation.

An unknown amount of time had passed, but after the "True Dragon Taming Method" had circulated for one hundred and eight cycles, a ray of light suddenly appeared on Wu Zhao's body, and then a dragon's might emanated from her.

Upon seeing this, Zhuang Yan raised his right hand and lightly tapped it, and the dragon might around Wu Zhao immediately subsided.

An unknown amount of time had passed before a slight "humming" sound came from Wu Zhao's Dantian. In an instant, a clear and spiritual magical power emerged from his Dantian. Wu Zhao was reborn in an instant, and his entire temperament suddenly became brighter.

At this time, Wu Zhao retracted his finger gestures and hand seals, slowly opened his eyes and exhaled a heavy breath, then stood up with an excited look on his face. The feeling of lightness of his body made Wu Zhao feel very comfortable and happy.

She just raised her hand and clapped it to the side, and a strong wind with dragon's might blew out, shaking the treasure rack ten steps away.

"I succeeded." Wu Zhao said excitedly, "I have magical powers!"

Seeing her excited look, Zhuang Yan poured cold water on her and said, "You are just getting started. It's still a long way to go before you can achieve perfection."

After hearing Zhuang Yan's words, Wu Zhao calmed down immediately, turned around and bowed, "Master, please forgive me. I have been reckless."

Zhuang Yan waved his hand and said, "People who practice Taoism should not be bound by conventional etiquette. Now that you have entered the door and the power in your Dantian has been generated, you only need to practice step by step. If you encounter any problems in practice, you can ask me or Wangshu."

"Yes, sir." Wu Zhao bowed.

As Wu Zhao finished speaking, the sunny sky outside suddenly darkened. Such an obvious change in light immediately surprised Wu Zhao.

But before she could react, the sky suddenly turned from dark to black, and the bright daytime turned into a cloudy day in an instant.

Wu Zhao was shocked and quickly turned around and ran out of Xuanqing Book Pavilion, looking up, he saw darkness all around him, but there was a bright moon hanging in the sky, but the moon was surrounded by a blood-red halo.

Wu Zhao felt very uncomfortable just by taking a look at the strange moon, and he fell into an indescribable state of chaos.

But just after a few breaths, the strange moon slowly disappeared in the sky, and the dark sky gradually returned with the disappearance of the moon, turning into a cloudless clear sky again.

Wu Zhao shuddered after she came to her senses. She quickly turned back and said to Zhuang Yan, "Master, a very strange moon appeared in the sky just now."

Zhuang Yan smiled and looked towards the entrance of Xuanqing Book Pavilion.

Afterwards, a graceful figure flew to the door of Xuanqing Book Pavilion. Accompanied by a lark-like laughter, Wangshu walked into the book pavilion with light steps.

"Sister Wangshu!" Wu Zhao's eyes lit up and he called out quickly.

Wangshu at this moment was different from before. She was wearing a moon-red robe with gold silk, and her hair was tied up in a high bun. She had a beautiful face, extraordinary grace, and elegance.

Wangshu strode forward, came to Wuzhao, stretched out his hand to pinch her cheek, and said with a smile: "Oh, you found the true dragon spirit? Xiaozhao is really amazing."

Wu Zhao looked at Wangshu with sparkling eyes and said, "Sister Wangshu, you are so beautiful."

"Hahaha." Wangshu laughed and said, "Thank you, Xiaozhao, for the compliment."

After saying this, Wangshu stepped forward, bowed to Zhuang Yan and said, "I would like to express my gratitude to you for your help in attaining enlightenment."

Zhuang Yan said calmly: "This is all your own good fortune, no need to thank me."

Wangshu saw this and couldn't help but smile and asked, "I said, you are looking at someone as beautiful as me, why don't you have any reaction at all?"

Zhuang Yan smiled and said, "What reaction do you want from me?"

Wangshu said: "At least it should be a normal reaction to seeing a beautiful woman, right?"

"Okay." Zhuang Yan nodded, then raised his right hand and waved it forwards and backwards in the air.

Two crisp "pa" sounds were heard from both sides of Wangshu's face, and Wangshu's head tilted twice, first to the right and then to the left.

Wangshu and Wuzhao were both stunned. Wangshu was stunned for a while, then he covered his cheek and asked, "Why... did you hit me in the face?"

Zhuang Yan smiled and said, "This is my normal reaction when I see a beautiful woman. Are you awake now?"

"I..." Wangshu held back a curse word, staring at Zhuang Yan in amazement for a long while before saying, "You are such a pervert!"

“Hahaha.” Zhuang Yan laughed loudly, then looked at Wangshu and said, “Congratulations to you for successfully attaining the Dao Fruit of ‘Great Moon Sky Demon Taiyi Golden Immortal’. You are now qualified to be the ‘Palace Master’ of the Lingtai Dao Palace.”

"Haha." Wangshu said with a fake smile: "You just slapped me twice, I want double the purple money salary."

Zhuang Yan nodded and said, "Okay, as long as you can do a good job as the 'Palace Master', I will give you 20,000 purple coins every month."

"Okay, deal." Wangshu clapped his hands and said with a smile.

Wu Zhao stared at the scene blankly. Before her little head could turn around, she saw the pattern on Wangshu's clothes behind him.

It was a bright moon, but it was surrounded by layers of blood-red halos. Although those halos were composed of the 'red' patterns on the clothes, they were exactly the same as the strange moon in the sky just now.
