I am a fairy in Journey to the West

Chapter 216: Fire Spirit Injures Wangshu, Returns to Luoyang

"Fire Spirit Immortal!"

A clear shout came from above the blue clouds, and then a ray of Taiyin magic light pierced through the void and arrived in front of the Fire Spirit Immortal in the blink of an eye.

The Fire Spirit Immortal stood on the clouds, looking at the Taiyin Demon Light coming towards him. A flash of fire appeared in his eyes, and a flame rose up in an instant, burning the Taiyin Demon Light in front of him to ashes in just a moment.

Immediately afterwards, the Fire Spirit Immortal pinched a spell with his right hand, opened his mouth and gave a light shout, and the nameless fire was instantly ignited.

In a moment, a flash of light appeared in the dark clouds ahead, and Wangshu was immediately awakened by the nameless fire and revealed his figure.

But she was not panicked. Instead, she raised her hand and pointed at the Fire Spirit Immortal. The Fire Spirit Immortal only felt a flash of Taiyin divine light in front of his eyes, and a strange moon appeared above his head.

When the Fire Spirit Immortal was illuminated by the moonlight, his spirit immediately became quiet, his three souls became confused, and his seven spirits became scattered.

But at this moment, a precious pestle shining with Buddha's light suddenly flew out from the top of Fire Spirit Immortal's head. The precious pestle emitted a bright light, which immediately stabilized Fire Spirit Immortal's soul.

The Fire Spirit Immortal woke up instantly. She looked up and saw that it was the 'bright power' of the 'three magic weapons silver pestle' that helped her.

The next moment, the Fire Spirit Immortal flipped her right hand, and a gorgeous "treasure mirror" appeared in her hand.

The Fire Spirit Immortal simply turned the treasure mirror, and in an instant a ray of divine light shone directly on Wangshu.

Following a loud bang, Wangshu's body seemed to be hit by a heavy object and was instantly knocked away.

Wangshu hurriedly used the power of Taiyin Heavenly Demon to steady his body, but he felt his muscles and bones cracking, his skin and flesh tearing, and he was in excruciating pain.

"Hiss!" Wangshu took a breath of cold air, looked at the Fire Spirit Immortal in front of him from afar and said: "I say, you have too many magic weapons, don't you?!"

The Fire Spirit Immortal smiled faintly and said, "Only two items, how can you call it a lot? Why did you intercept me halfway?"

Wangshu laughed and said, "It is said that True Immortal Huo Ling is a capable general under True Lord Lingtai. Although we have met once before, we have never competed. Today, fellow Taoist has come down to the Lingtai Taoist Palace, so it is a good opportunity to give it a try."

The Fire Spirit Immortal's eyes flashed, and he looked at Wangshu and said with a smile: "You called the wrong name."

"What?" Wangshu was stunned when he heard that.

Fire Spirit Immortal smiled and said, "You should at least call me 'Shangshu'."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Fire Spirit Immortal raised his hand and summoned the 'Dingguang Colored Glass Lamp'. A light flashed on the Dingguang Colored Glass Lamp, and Wangshu and the space and time around him were instantly frozen.

The next moment, the Fire Spirit Immortal shone the Kunlun Mirror again, and immediately three or four divine lights fell on Wangshu.

With a series of loud 'bangs', Wangshu was knocked down by the power of Kunlun Mirror, and finally fell at the gate of Lingtai Taoist Palace with a 'boom'.

The Fire Spirit Immortal glanced down at the mortal world below, then put away all his magic weapons. With a calm and clear expression on his face, he stepped on the clouds and flew back to the residence of the Jade Extreme Immortal Lord of the first heaven with his hands behind his back.

After a loud 'boom', a deep pit was smashed out on the ground outside the Lingtai Taoist Palace, and smoke and dust rose up.

Tieguai Li was startled. He put down his wine gourd and quickly walked up with his crutches. He stood at the edge of the pit and looked inside. A frost-white and tender hand quickly stretched out from the pit.

Tieguai Li stared at the hand in shock for a moment, then reached out and grabbed it, pulling the person inside out.

"Palace Master? Why is it you?" Tieguai Li asked in surprise.

Wangshu was lying on the ground groaning, blood oozing from the corner of his mouth. He opened his mouth but couldn't utter a word, which showed how serious his injuries were.

Upon seeing this, Li Tieguai used his magic power to send Wangshu to his back without saying a word. Then he carried Wangshu into the Lingtai Taoist Palace, and soon arrived at the Xuanqing Book Pavilion.

"Master, it's bad. The Palace Master has been beaten and seriously injured." While shouting, Tieguai Li laid Wangshu flat on the wooden couch in the Xuanqing Library.

Zhuang Yan didn't even look at it, he just raised his hand and a "self-healing" state that lasted for ten breaths was added to Wangshu.

Immediately, green fairy light appeared on Wangshu's body, and then a series of 'cracking' sounds of bones were heard. Only ten breaths later, Wangshu, who was lying on the wooden couch, let out a long breath, groaned again, and sat up from the couch.

The ten-breath self-healing state restored her broken bones and muscles. The rest of the minor injuries were not serious and she only needed to use her own internal energy to heal them.

"I told you long ago that she is not easy to deal with, but you didn't believe me. What's going on now?" Zhuang Yan asked in a calm voice.

Wangshu said unconvincedly: "I have already achieved the Taiyi Golden Immortal Dao Fruit, but I still can't beat her, a terrestrial immortal? It's just that she has too many magic weapons, haha!"

"Haha." Zhuang Yan smiled calmly and said, "Every magic weapon in Huo Ling's hand is extraordinary. Although you have achieved the Dao Fruit of 'Great Moon Sky Demon Taiyi Golden Immortal', you are still a little inferior to the magic weapons in her hand."

Wangshu sat cross-legged on the wooden couch, practicing Qigong to heal his wounds while saying, "It's just that she seems to be a little irritable."

Zhuang Yan said: "She is a spiritual fire in the world, how can she not be angry? Back then in Xiniu Hezhou, she even dared to snatch the incense from the Buddhist sect."

"No." Wangshu shook his head when he heard this and said, "There is sourness in her anger."

At this point, Wangshu suddenly slapped his thigh and said with a smile, "Could it be that she is jealous of you staying here with me all the time?"

Tieguai Li scratched his head and felt his scalp was a little hard. Could he listen to these words?

"You are so dishonest. How can an ancient god still talk nonsense like this?" Zhuang Yan asked. Wang Shu said, "Why? Am I wrong?"

Zhuang Yan said, "You are totally wrong. How could I not understand the nature of the Fire Spirit? She is a complete stranger to you. You rashly went to intercept her halfway just to test her magic power. It would be strange if she would be nice to you."

"She shouldn't have hit me so hard. I was seriously injured by her just now, and my body was almost destroyed." Wangshu said with a sigh.

Zhuang Yan smiled and said, "She has shown mercy by not taking your life."

"She talks as if I'm not as good as her. If she didn't have those magic weapons, she would be the loser." Wangshu said unconvinced.

Zhuang Yan said, "Since they have magic weapons, it's their business whether to use them or not. It's none of your business."

"Hmph." Wangshu snorted coldly, "Just wait and see. Sooner or later, I will pin her down and humiliate her. I will make her beg for mercy, sister. I want more."

"Don't." Zhuang Yan raised his hand to stop Wangshu, "Stop talking. It's not suitable for children to continue."

Wangshu asked, "Where are the children here?"

Tieguai Li pointed to the entrance of Xuanqing Book Pavilion and said, "There."

Wangshu turned his head and saw Wu Zhao and Baoer standing side by side at the door, their faces full of anxiety.

Wangshu quickly coughed lightly, then sat cross-legged there solemnly, practicing his internal energy to heal his wounds, without saying anything else.

"What's the matter?" Zhuang Yan asked.

Wu Zhao quickly ran over with a jade slip, bowed to Zhuang Yan, and handed him the jade slip, saying, "Master, please take a look at this jade slip."

As soon as Zhuang Yan thought about it, the jade slip immediately flew into the air, came in front of Zhuang Yan and slowly unfolded.

Zhuang Yan only glanced at her and then said, "A dragon girl named Ao Jun is wanted by the Netherworld? Oh? Is she also the Dragon God of Chan River?"

Wu Zhao said anxiously, "Master, it was this Chan River Dragon God who gave me the true dragon spirit. How come she is wanted by the Netherworld?"

Zhuang Yan said calmly, "Isn't it written there? This Chan River Dragon God broke into the Luoyang City God's Palace, injured the generals under the Luoyang City God, and killed countless ghost soldiers. The Luoyang City God reported to King Qin Guang, and King Qin Guang issued an order to arrest him."

"Master, what will happen if the Dragon King of Chan River is caught?" Wu Zhao asked.

Zhuang Yan said, "According to the laws of the underworld, if the charges against the Chan River Dragon God are proven, the best outcome would be to suffer in the eighteen levels of hell."

Wu Zhao was shocked when he heard this, and then asked: "Master, can you save the Chan River Dragon God? She has done me a favor."

Zhuang Yan smiled and said, "The Chan River Dragon God has done you a favor, not me. If I go down to save her, she won't be able to bear the consequences, good or bad."

Wu Zhao was stunned when she heard this. After a while, she said, "Master, do you want me to go and save him?"

"Yes, now is the time for you to repay your gratitude." Zhuang Yan said with a smile.

Wu Zhao was stunned for a long time, and finally said: "Master, with my limited magical power, can I save the Chan River Dragon God?"

Zhuang Yan smiled and said, "That depends on you."

Wu Zhao was still a little hesitant. She was not afraid, but worried that she could not save the Chan River Dragon God with her own strength.

At this time, Tieguai Li stepped forward and said, "Master, I will go with Brother Wudao."

Hearing this, Wu Zhao's face lit up with joy, and he quickly turned to Tieguai Li and said, "Thank you, fellow Taoist."

Zhuang Yan nodded and said, "Okay, then you can go together."

"I want to go too." Baoer also stepped forward and said, "Master, I want to go too!"

Zhuang Yan smiled and said, "Who will add oil to the lamp when you are gone?"

When Bao'er heard this, she was immediately in trouble. She looked left and right, then said to Zhuang Yan, "Master, wait for me a moment." After that, she ran out of Xuanqing Book Pavilion.

However, not long after, Baoer came in carrying a heavy cloth bag. She carried the bag to Zhuang Yan, put it down, and then opened it and said, "Master, these are my stockpiled goods. I give them all to you. Can you help me add some lamp oil during this time? Don't worry, I will add some lamp oil myself when I come back."

As she spoke, Baoer opened the cloth bag, and saw that it was full of plump and fragrant high-quality pine nuts. She then raised her head and looked at Zhuang Yan with hope.

Zhuang Yan laughed loudly, stretched out his hand and patted Baoer on the head, nodded and said, "Okay, deal, these pine nuts are mine."

Baoer was instantly overjoyed, cheered, then bowed to Zhuang Yan and said, "Thank you, Master."

So, that afternoon, Wu Zhao and Bao'er, who had packed their things, followed Tieguai Li's lead, bid farewell to Zhuang Yan and Wangshu, left Lingtai Taoist Palace, and headed for the Bianmen Bridge ferry outside Chang'an city.

They boarded the boat at the Bianmen Bridge Ferry and headed straight to Luoyang Prefecture.
