I am a fairy in Journey to the West

Chapter 268: The Roots Fall and the Great Disaster Begins
The life-saving method that Zhuang Yan bestowed on the Fire Spirit Immortal was a magical power evolved based on the 'life-saving state'.

According to the discussion between Emperor Changsheng of the South Pole and Emperor Houtu, the Xuanxian Tribulation is probably about to begin. Although the Fire Spirit Immortal is a righteous god in heaven and a fifth-rank immortal official in the Zhongyuan period, matters of fate are hard to say and there is no guarantee that he will not be involved.

Therefore, I am giving her a way to save her life now, just in case. There are not many subordinates with such outstanding abilities these days, and she cannot die.

Just after granting magical powers to the Fire Spirit Immortal in the Yuji Mansion, Zhuang Yan had already descended to the mortal world again. He still needed to do one more thing before he could enter the world to gain experience.

In a moment, Zhuang Yan had landed at the foot of Yalong Mountain. In the wooden house here, Tang Seng and others were still waiting anxiously.

Seeing Zhuang Yan coming, the three brothers Xiaobailong, Zhu Bajie and Sha Seng hurried to greet him.

"Greetings to Lingtai Zhenjun." The three brothers bowed and saluted.

Zhuang Yan walked forward with a smile, came in front of the three people, extended his hand and said: "No need to be polite, everyone, please stand up."

The three brothers thanked him and stood up. At this time, Little White Dragon asked, "Excuse me, Master, where did my eldest brother go?"

Zhuang Yan smiled and said, "I tricked him about this matter, but don't worry, I will call him back soon."

After saying that, Zhuang Yan raised his hand and pointed towards the sky. Suddenly, a ray of fairy light rose into the sky, instantly went straight into the sky, and disappeared above the sky.

After just over ten breaths, a fairy figure was seen riding on a white cloud and flying down from the thirty-third heaven, and in the blink of an eye, it landed in front of him.

When the immortal figure came before their eyes, Xiaobailong and others could see clearly, who else could this be but Sun Wukong?

Sun Wukong collected the magic formula of the Somersault Cloud, greeted the three little white dragons in front of him, then stepped forward and made a junior courtesy to Zhuang Yan, and then asked, "Uncle, didn't you tell me to wait in Daluo Heaven? Why did you ask me to come back?"

Zhuang Yan helped Sun Wukong up and said with a smile, "I, your uncle, deceived you about this matter. I thought I could ask the real master to help Tang Seng to get rid of his 'calamity', but I didn't expect there was another reason behind this."

"Oh?" Sun Wukong asked immediately after hearing this: "What's the reason?"

Zhuang Yan waved his hand and said, "You don't have to ask, just take this first." Then he raised his sleeve and waved it, and a ray of golden light flew in front of Sun Wukong.

Sun Wukong took a closer look and was immediately overjoyed: "Ruyi Jingu Bang?!"

As he said that, Sun Wukong immediately raised his hand, and the Ruyi Jingu Bang was immediately received in his hand.

Sun Wukong swung his golden cudgel and danced for a while, then stopped after a while and said repeatedly: "Yes, yes, yes, this is my Ruyi Jingu Bang, I miss it so much."

After saying that, Sun Wukong raised his hand and immediately put the Ruyi Jingu Bang into his ear.

Afterwards, Sun Wukong bowed to Zhuang Yan and said, "Thank you, uncle."

Zhuang Yan raised his hand and gently patted Sun Wukong on the shoulder, then said, "Why are you saying this?"

Sun Wukong nodded, and then asked with concern: "Uncle, I heard that you and Erlang Shen have joined forces to catch the person behind Yuan Ao and the others?"

"That's right." Zhuang Yan nodded and said, "The man behind the scenes is none other than the 'Nine Heavens Azure Demon King', one of the Five Great Demon Kings."

"Is it him?" Zhu Bajie and Sha Seng were both surprised, then looked at each other and said, "I didn't expect it to be this person."

Xiao Bailong also frowned and said, "That's going to be a tough situation."

"It's not a big deal. The Nine Heavens Blue Sky Demon King has been transferred to the Jade Pure True King Nan Ji Chang Sheng Great Emperor. I think there will be a result soon." Zhuang Yan said. "However." Zhuang Yan's eyes fell on the wooden house behind everyone, glanced at it and asked, "Is Elder Tang in there?"

"Yes." Xiao Bailong nodded and said, "Master has been staying in there the whole time."

Zhuang Yan nodded slightly, and then said: "Although the Nine Heavens Blue Sky Demon King is the mastermind behind the scenes, he has been handed over to the Southern Pole Changsheng Emperor, so he cannot be brought to Elder Tang to eliminate the calamity."

"What should we do then?" Little White Dragon said hurriedly, "If the calamity that Master is suffering cannot be resolved, we will not be able to continue on our journey to the West to obtain the scriptures."

Zhu Bajie said "Hey" to Little White Dragon, "What are you worried about? Since Lingtai Zhenjun is here, he must have a way to avert the disaster."

Hearing this, Xiaobailong did not refute, but turned his gaze to Zhuang Yan.

Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, and Sha Wujing all looked over. Zhuang Yan smiled slowly and said, "It is not difficult to avert the calamity. Marshal Tianpeng is right. Since I am here, I must have a way to avert the calamity."

When Zhu Bajie heard this, he became proud on the spot, and Sun Wukong directly invited Zhuang Yan into the wooden house.

Tang Monk, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed, immediately bowed and said, "Lord Lingtai, please forgive me for not being able to stand up and pay my respects in person."

“No need.” Zhuang Yan looked at Tang Seng who was trying to struggle to sit up, stepped forward and held him down, and said, “Elder Tang, there is no need to do this. Please sit down. I am here to help you resolve the calamity that has plagued you.”

Upon hearing this, Tang Seng immediately perked up, quickly sat up from the bed, and said, "If you can resolve this disaster and allow me to continue my journey to the west to obtain the scriptures, I will be very grateful."

Zhuang Yan smiled calmly and said, "Elder Tang, please sit down. I will help you get rid of the disaster."

"Okay." Tang Seng nodded, then sat up on the bed and looked at Zhuang Yan with hope.

Zhuang Yan walked forward and asked Sun Wukong and Xiao Bailong to pull Tang Seng's legs a little closer to the edge of the bed. Then Zhuang Yan stretched out his index and middle fingers and made a scissors motion together.

Then Zhuang Yan placed the "hand scissors" between Tang Seng's legs, and started cutting the air between his legs.

Oddly enough, as Zhuang Yan cut with his scissors, a creaking sound was heard in the air.

When Zhuang Yan cut to the knee area, there was a "bang" sound, like the sound of silk thread breaking, accompanied by a demonic spirit rising, and Tang Seng's legs instantly loosened to both sides.

Tang Seng breathed a sigh of relief and quickly tried to get up from the bed. After putting on his shoes and taking two steps, he found that there was no problem. After recovering as before, Tang Seng immediately walked forward with gratitude and bowed to Zhuang Yan, saying, "Thank you, Master Lingtai."

Sun Wukong and others were even more astonished. Even Guanyin Bodhisattva was helpless against this thing, but Lingtai Zhenjun solved it with just a simple hand scissor?
Zhuang Yan held Tang Seng and said with a smile, "Thank you for your courtesy, Elder Tang. Well, you have been delayed here for more than a few months. Now that the disaster is over, you should set off to the west as soon as possible."

Tang Seng nodded when he heard this and bowed, "Thank you, Master Lingtai. I will remember your kindness today and repay you generously in the future."

"Don't talk about whether the reward is generous or not. The right thing to do is to obtain the true scriptures as soon as possible." Zhuang Yan said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Tang Monk nodded solemnly and said, "Thank you for your teachings, Master Lingtai. I will remember them. Master Lingtai, please go back to your residence first. I will continue my journey to obtain the scriptures now."

Zhuang Yan nodded and said "OK", then Tang Seng and his five disciples bid farewell to Zhuang Yan and continued their journey to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures.

After Tang Seng and others left, there was a loud noise suddenly coming from the sky. The sound was like thunder and spread throughout the three realms in an instant.
