I am a fairy in Journey to the West

Chapter 217: Fire Spirit Inquiries, Two Houses Fight

Taixuan Zhenfu, Human World Department, Cave Temple.

Fire Spirit Immortal took the teacup handed over by Dongfang Shuo and said with a smile, "Thank you, Mr. Chengwu."

The Cave God Temple is the office of Wen Shi Zhenren, Shao Qing of the Cave God. Now that Wen Shi Zhenren is not in the palace, all affairs of the Cave God Temple will be handled by Dongfang Shuo, who is the Secretary of the Cave God Temple.

Dongfang Shuo looked at the Fire Spirit Immortal in front of him and said with a smile: "What is the purpose of your visit, Shangshu?"

Fire Spirit Immortal asked: "How will the Humanity Ministry deal with the matter of the Chan River Dragon King?"

Hearing this, Dongfang Shuo asked in surprise: "Does the Minister know this Chan River Dragon King?"

"I don't know him, but he is somewhat involved in human affairs." said the True Immortal Fire Spirit.

Dongfang Shuo heard this and said, "Ao Fan, the brother of this Chan River Dragon King, was captured by the City God of Luoyang Prefecture. I don't know what he did wrong. The Chan River Dragon King went to the City God's Palace to negotiate several times but to no avail. Finally, he tried to forcibly seize Ao Fan. If the Dragon-Subduing Arhat hadn't intervened at that time, I'm afraid she would have succeeded."

"The Netherworld has issued an order to hunt for the Dragon King of Chan River. Has Taixuan Palace agreed?" asked the Immortal Huo Ling.

Dongfang Shuo shook his head and said, "The Central Ghost Emperor has informed Taixuan Zhenfu, but the Netherworld Underworld has already issued a wanted order, so we at Taixuan Zhenfu can't say much."

“But the Chan River Dragon King has not yet been stripped of his title of Dragon God,” said the Fire Spirit Immortal.

"Yes." Dongfang Shuo said, "We at Taixuan Zhenfu don't know the specific details of this matter yet. We have to wait for the detailed case files from the Netherworld. So before the detailed case files come out, Taixuan Zhenfu will not deprive the Chanhe Dragon King of his official status."

Fire Spirit Immortal asked, "Then Taixuan Palace will not intervene in this matter?"

Dongfang Shuo shook his head and said, "It's not that easy. The status of the Netherworld Palace in the Heavenly Court is second only to the Divine Sky Jade Palace and the Divine Thunder Jade Palace. It is directly controlled by the Northern Yin Fengdu Emperor, and Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva and the Eastern Peak Emperor jointly control it. It is not easy for us, the Taixuan Zhen Palace, to interfere."

The Fire Spirit Immortal nodded slightly, then bowed and said, "Thank you, Mr. Cheng Wu, for telling me."

Dongfang Shuo smiled and shook his head, saying: "If you want to intervene in this matter, it is best not to do it yourself, as it may easily cause disputes with the underworld."

"Yeah, I know." Fire Spirit Immortal said with a smile.

Dongfang Shuo nodded and said, "Although the Netherworld and we belong to the same department of the Heavenly Court, we are the Yin and Yang Gods after all. It is not appropriate for either of us to interfere in the other's affairs. If we must interfere, it is best not to be too obvious."

At the end, Dongfang Shuo had a cunning smile on his face, "That way, even if something goes wrong, it won't be too embarrassing."

"Okay." Fire Spirit Immortal nodded, then drank the fragrant tea in the cup, then stood up and bowed, saying: "Thank you, Mr. Cheng Wu. Fire Spirit will take his leave now."

Dongfang Shuo stood up, bowed and said, "Fellow Daoist, please take care."

Luoyang Prefecture, Yingyang County.

Ao Jun was walking on the streets of Yingyang County wearing a light blue round-necked robe and a conical hat.

The mortals passing by were shoulder to shoulder, and the Yang energy was extremely strong, so Ao Jun easily avoided the eyes of those ghost soldiers.

Now she can no longer return to her Chan River Water Palace. According to the news she heard ten days ago, the ghost soldiers from the underworld have surrounded the Chan River Water Palace, and the shrimp soldiers and crab generals in the water palace have already fled in all directions.

Ao Jun is now completely alone. He cannot go back to his own water palace or his home. He failed to rescue his brother and is wanted by the underworld.

However, during several negotiations with the City God of Luoyang Prefecture, the City God of Luoyang Prefecture did not mention a word about what crime Ao Fan had committed.

Every time he asked, the City God of Luoyang Prefecture only said that Ao Fan was disrespectful to the gods and deliberately offended them.

Even when she wanted to meet Ao Fan, the City God of Luoyang Prefecture did not allow her.

Therefore, Ao Jun keenly felt that there was another hidden reason behind his brother Ao Fan's arrest. Just thinking about this made Ao Jun lose his composure.

If Ao Fan violated some heavenly law or secret law, then he would be tried and punished as he should be. She was not too worried.

But if there is another hidden story, or if he was wrongly accused, or was caught to take the blame, there would be many explanations.

Having been the Dragon King of the Chan River for such a long time, he has heard a lot about the cases of gods in the human world being partial and bending the law.

She knew how dark it was in there, and was even more worried that her brother would be wrongly convicted, so she made the decision to break into the City God's Mansion in a hurry.

At this moment, Ao Jun was avoiding the pursuit of the underworld while thinking about who to find to complain.

It happened that she heard that there was a temple of Guanyin Bodhisattva in Yingyang County, so she thought of reporting the matter to Guanyin Bodhisattva. Guanyin Bodhisattva is compassionate and saves people from suffering. If he hears her prayer, he will definitely give her guidance.

Ao Jun walked through the crowd and came to the Guanyin Temple in the southwest of Yingyang County.

When she saw the bustling Guanyin Temple in front of her, she felt a little relieved and walked in with full piety.

There are many people coming here to burn incense and pray. Ao Jun is not in a hurry, but follows the crowd step by step towards the main hall where Guanyin Bodhisattva is enshrined.

At this time, two clear water lights flashed behind the Guanyin Hall, followed by the figures of two gods wearing light blue armor.

The two looked at each other, then turned into two rays of divine light and flew into the Guanyin Temple.

At this time, Ao Jun finally walked into the Guanyin Temple. She first offered the merit money, then took the incense and candles, and walked straight to the altar where the statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva was.

Coming to the altar, Ao Jun lit the incense, bowed three times towards the statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva, and then inserted the incense into the incense burner.

Then Ao Jun knelt devoutly on the cushion, clasped his hands together, closed his eyes slightly, and was about to pray sincerely.

Suddenly, a loud shout came from my ear: "Do it!"

Ao Jun was startled and suddenly opened his eyes, then dropped a large aqua-blue net straight towards her.

"Dragon-trapping net!" Ao Jun exclaimed, and saw the huge net falling straight down, trapping her underneath in an instant.

Ao Jun's face changed drastically. As the name of the Dragon Trapping Net suggests, once you are caught in the net, your dragon's power will be suppressed immediately and you will have no choice but to surrender. Ao Jun was trapped under the net and could not move, while the two gods strode forward to close the net.

Just as Ao Jun was about to be caught in the net, suddenly a soft "hiss" sound was heard from the side, and then the power of the dragon-trapping net dissipated at an extremely fast speed.

Ao Jun and the two generals were stunned and turned their heads quickly to look, only to see that a corner of the dragon-trapping net had fallen onto the incense burner in the center of the altar, right on the stick of incense that Ao Jun had just offered to Guanyin Bodhisattva.

The incense was burning so brightly that only a puff of green smoke came out of the dragon-trapping net, and then a hole was instantly burned in it by the incense.

As a hole was burned in the dragon-trapping net, its divine power quickly dissipated, and just a moment later the dragon-trapping net turned into an extremely ordinary fishing net.

Ao Jun's eyes lit up, and the suppressed strength was immediately restored. She looked up at the statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva and said, "Thank you for your help," then stood up and smashed the dragon-trapping net with one palm, then used her magic power to fly straight out of Yingyang City.

When the temple priests and ordinary people saw this scene, they all knelt on the ground and kowtowed towards the sky, thinking that it was the Bodhisattva appearing.

Upon seeing this, the two divine generals immediately used their magic power to fly into the sky and chase after Ao Jun.

But just as Ao Jun flew out of Yingyang City, a large cloud of dark fog floated in front of her and blocked her way.

Ao Jun hurriedly stopped and the dark fog soon dissipated. Three thousand ghost soldiers with dark clouds over their heads, led by the Ghost King, formed a battle formation and blocked Ao Jun's way.

The ghost king had red hair and fangs, holding a demon-suppressing bell in his hand. He looked ferocious and ferocious, with a burly figure, and seemed extremely difficult to deal with.

"Dragon King of Chan River, why don't you surrender now? When will you do that?" the Ghost King shouted sternly.

Upon hearing this, Ao Jun immediately said to the Ghost King, "My brother was captured by the City God of Luoyang, and his crimes have not been announced yet. Even when I wanted to see him, I was not allowed to do so. There is clearly injustice here. You, the officials of the Netherworld, are protecting each other, and you still want me to surrender? I am afraid that as soon as I surrender, my head and body will be torn apart, and I will not even know how I died."

The Ghost King said, "I am only following orders to arrest you. As for your brother's crimes and your grievances, I have no business doing anything about them."

"Then you are just a confused ghost king, taking the salary from heaven but doing nothing good!" Ao Jun scolded coldly.

The Ghost King's face darkened, and he looked at Ao Jun and said, "Chan River Dragon King, I advise you not to resist anymore. If you continue to be stubborn, it won't be me who will come to take you away."

"I just want justice. If you in the underworld can't give me justice, I will go to heaven to ask for it. I will go to Taixuan Zhenfu to file a complaint." Ao Jun said.

The Ghost King said calmly: "You can't even leave Luoyang Prefecture, and you still want to go to Taixuan Zhenfu?"

Ao Jun snorted coldly when he heard this, and the two gods also chased after him. When they saw the underworld soldiers in front of Ao Jun, they stopped immediately.

"It was the Ghost Prince who rebelled." The general on the left said to the general on the right.

The divine general on the right nodded, then bowed to the Ghost King Zifan in front of him and said, "Ghost King Zifan, we two are divine generals of the Luoshui Divine Mansion, and my name is Yu Gou."

The god on the left clasped his fists and said, "My name is Yu Xian."

Hearing this, the Ghost King Zi Fan was slightly surprised, and immediately bowed and said, "So it's the two gods Yu Gou and Yu Xian. I wonder what important matter has brought you here?"

The Fishhook God pointed at Ao Jun and said, "We are here in compliance with the order of the Luoshui River God to capture Ao Jun, the Dragon King of the Chan River."

"Oh?" Zifan Ghost King said upon hearing this: "That's a coincidence. I am also here to capture Chan River Dragon King Ao Jun in accordance with the order of King Qin Guang."

General Yu Xian said, "It's a coincidence that we arrived one after the other. Lord Luoshen heard that the Chan River Dragon King broke into the City God's Mansion, injured the ghost generals, and killed the ghost soldiers. In anger, he arrested the Chan River Dragon King's parents and they are now imprisoned in the prison of Luoshui God's Mansion. He ordered the two of us to capture Ao Jun. Master Luoshen has made a desperate decision. We must bring Ao Jun back to Luoshui God's Mansion no matter what. Please help, Ghost King Zifan."

Upon hearing this, Ghost King Zifan said, "That's even more coincidental. His Royal Highness Prince Qin Guang has also ordered us to bring Ao Jun back to the underworld for trial. I hope the two gods can help us."

Hearing this, the two gods Yu Gou and Yu Xian looked at each other, and then Yu Gou said again: "If we give you convenience, then it will be inconvenient for us. In this case, why don't you give us some face and give us some convenience first?"

Zi Fan Ghost King said: "Why should I give you convenience but make it inconvenient for myself? Besides, your Luoshen is just a fifth-rank water god, how can she be compared with my Highness Qin Guangwang?"

The Fish God said, "How can they not be compared? Although my Luoshen is one level lower than King Qin Guang in terms of god rank, she is the daughter of the ancestor of mankind, Emperor Xi, and has a noble birth, respected by all spirits!"

"After all, it's all because of having a good father." Zifan Ghost King sneered.

When the two gods Yu Gou and Yu Xian saw him sneer, they immediately became furious and said, "How dare you ridicule Lord Luoshen."

The Ghost King Zi Fan snorted coldly, not wanting to waste time talking to the two of them, and waved his hand and said, "Go, take down Ao Jun first."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Ghost King Zifan immediately led three thousand ghost soldiers to surround Ao Jun.

When the two divine generals Yu Gou and Yu Xian saw this, they immediately said, "It is better to strike first, go ahead."

After saying that, both groups of people rushed towards Ao Jun in the middle. Ao Jun looked extremely solemn. Seeing this scene, he did not dare to be careless. He immediately jumped up and revealed his true identity.

Ao Jun's true form is a thirty-six-meter-long blue dragon. Her entire body is blue, and even her dragon scales emit a sparkling light blue glow.

As soon as Ao Jun's true form appeared, he soared like a dragon and swung his tail. With a "boom", the dragon's tail swept out, and in an instant, hundreds of ghost soldiers who were rushing in the front were all knocked away.

Upon seeing this, the anti-ghost king immediately shook the demon-suppressing bell in his hand. A pleasant "ding-ling-ling" sound was heard, and Ao Jun's huge dragon body suddenly stiffened, and then his eyes widened and his body fell down stiffly.

"Boom!" As Ao Jun's body fell heavily to the ground, Yu Gou and Yu Xian immediately threw out another dragon-trapping net to trap Ao Jun.

Afterwards, the two generals Yu Gou and Yu Xian immediately began to collect the net. Seeing this, the Ghost King Zi Fan became furious and immediately shook the demon-suppressing bell at the two generals Yu Gou and Yu Xian.

"You dare." Yu Xian shouted and immediately raised his hand and pointed. A silver thread appeared out of thin air and instantly wrapped around the bell in the middle of the demon-suppressing bell.

The bell was tangled in the silver thread and could not be rung. When it was shaken it only made a dull "toot" sound.

Upon seeing this, the Ghost King Zifan immediately ordered the ghost soldiers behind him, "Catch these two together."

"Yes." The ghost soldiers took the order and rushed directly towards the two generals Yu Gou and Yu Xian.

Seeing this, Yu Gou and Yu Xian no longer had any reservations. They jumped out and used magic to fight with the Fan Ghost King and the ghost soldiers.
