I am a fairy in Journey to the West

Chapter 273: Demons fight evil gods, the true monarch appears

Xiniuhezhou, Quluo Kingdom, and Jipo Village.

On this day, every household in the village hung red banners, played gongs and drums, and paraded with colorful lanterns.

In the vast procession, among the colorful lanterns, several sacred banners were erected high up, on which were written three large characters: "Nüpo Shen."

The custom of worshipping the goddess Po has existed here for more than a hundred years, and even the name of the village has been changed to "Ji Po Village". As for its original name, it has long been unknown.

And in the long sacrificial procession, there was a large sedan chair carried by a dozen strong men. The sedan chair was uncovered on all sides, and in the middle sat a young girl dressed in gorgeous clothes.

Although the girl had bright makeup on and was wearing gorgeous clothes, her shoulders were shaking slightly as if she was sobbing softly.

The sacrificial team was busy with music, gongs and cannons along the way. After marching for about half an hour, they finally arrived at a valley outside the Jipo Village.

As soon as the team entered the valley, a gust of cold wind blew towards them, blowing up the red flag, like pieces of blood flying in the sky.

The girl in the sedan chair felt especially terrified. The cold wind blew on her, as if a pair of invisible hands were caressing her body, making her shudder and feel creepy.

At this time, bursts of ghostly cries were heard in the valley, and the team walking in the valley began to become hazy. In the dark mist, it seemed that countless wronged souls had mixed into the team, and the yin and yang were mixed, and it was difficult to distinguish between the living and the dead.

The girl in the sedan glanced inadvertently and saw a woman wearing the same gorgeous clothes as her standing on the stone cliff on the right side of the valley in front of her.

The woman's eyes were pale and pupilless, and she stared at her straight. The girl immediately let out a scream, then quickly lowered her head and closed her eyes tightly, not daring to look around again.

Soon, the sacrificial team entered the valley. At this moment, the misty ghosts that had been surrounding the sacrificial team had already dispersed and dared not approach the valley again.

Following a loud shout from the priest in front, the sacrificial team immediately dispersed and stood in a circle around the altar statue of the goddess Nv Po in front.

At this time, the priest shouted again: "Offer the sacrifice."

Teams of boys and girls, also dressed in colorful clothes, came forward with all kinds of flowers, fruits, cattle and sheep sacrifices and placed them on the altar.

As the flowers, fruits, and sacrifices were placed on the altar, the priest shouted again: "Offer to the Lord."

After a while, the sedan chair started to move slowly. The girl in the sedan chair looked up in panic. She looked at the black-faced and fang-toothed female deity statue and couldn't help but tremble with fear. Her face turned pale and her fear was beyond words.

Everyone carried the sedan chair onto the altar, and suddenly an evil wind blew, and a cloud of black smoke instantly covered the sedan chair.

The girl screamed and looked around. On the altar, there were only her and the offerings. As for the villagers and her biological parents, they all stood below the altar with great respect and piety, worshiping and praying to the statue of Nv Po under the guidance of the priest.

All I heard was the priest singing loudly: "I pray for good weather and good harvests in the coming year, and for the safety of the livestock."

"The second petition is to pray that the granaries will be full and the bushels will be filled with gold and silver in the coming year."

"I pray three times for many children and grandchildren in the coming year, and a long and blessed life."

“Kowtowing.”

The girl in the sedan chair listened to the respectful prayers of her parents and relatives in the audience, but her body became colder and colder.

At this moment, a loud laugh sounded beside her ears. She looked up suddenly and saw a ray of evil light flying down from the statue and landing in front of her, revealing an evil god with a black face, fangs, bare chest, and covered with scabies all over his body.

"Hahaha, the young lady offered as sacrifice this year is much more beautiful than in previous years." The evil god laughed and pounced into the sedan chair, pressing the girl directly under him, her body covered with scabies.

The girl screamed and struggled, feeling both terrified and disgusted, but the evil god was too powerful and she could only struggle feebly.

In just a few breaths, the evil god had stripped off most of the girl's outer clothes, and the sedan chair was shaking on the altar.

The evil god laughed wildly, "What a fragrant little girl! This kind of essence must be of top quality, a great tonic. Great, great, great!"

After saying that, the evil god stretched out his claws towards the girl. Just as the girl was about to be robbed of her innocence and have her vital energy sucked away by the evil god, suddenly! The wind and clouds above the valley suddenly changed, a strong wind blew, and then pear blossoms all over the sky fluttered down.

The evil god was shocked, and without caring about the girl in his arms, he immediately stood up and shouted, "Who are you? How dare you barge into my temple?"

I only heard a sweet laugh coming from above my head, and soon a beautiful witch fell down with pear blossoms under her feet.

“Oh~~~” Seeing this, the evil god chuckled and said, “Who did I think it was? Turns out it’s a pear blossom spirit.”

Fairy Lihua smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist, how much essence can a mortal girl have for you to absorb? Why not take a look at me? I have mana and blood here. If you are interested, I will offer them to you."

The evil god sneered and said, "You are so kind? I'm afraid you want to suck me dry."

Fairy Lihua laughed again and said, "My friend, you really don't understand romance. I had good intentions, but I didn't expect you to speculate like this. It's really sad."

Seeing her like this, the evil god quickly raised his hand to stop her and said, "I still want to be intimate with this young lady. If you have nothing else to do, please leave."

Fairy Lihua said with a moving look in her eyes: "What if I refuse to leave?"

The evil god said, "You and I have always kept to ourselves. Why do you want to ruin my good deeds this time?"

Fairy Lihua smiled and said, "I ruined your good deeds, but I made mine come true." The evil god's face changed and he asked, "What do you mean, fellow Taoist?"

The Pear Blossom Fairy raised her jade hand and said, "Fellow Daoist, look at the pear blossoms all over the sky, and you will understand my feelings."

After she finished speaking, a flash of light appeared in the hands of the Pear Blossom Fairy, and pear blossoms immediately fell from the sky at a rapid speed. In the blink of an eye, they covered the mountains and valleys.

The bodies of the villagers from Jipo Village who were praying were all covered with pear blossoms. In an instant, the pear blossoms sucked the blood out of hundreds of villagers and turned them into black, shriveled corpses.

The Pear Blossom Fairy sighed contentedly and said, "This tastes really good."

The evil god's face changed drastically, and he said angrily: "Evil creature, how dare you suck my followers!"

Fairy Lihua said, "I just sucked it, so what?"

The evil god said coldly: "Since you don't know what's good for you, don't blame me for being ruthless."

"Hahaha, you are just a mountain ghost, how dare you call yourself a god? Is there a god like you in the pantheon of gods in heaven?" Fairy Lihua sneered.

These words undoubtedly hit the evil god's sore spot. He roared loudly, and thousands of evil lights emanated from his body, shining straight towards the Pear Blossom Fairy.

The Pear Blossom Fairy showed no fear at all. She just waved her sleeves lightly, and pear blossoms flew all over the sky. Then the Pear Blossom Fairy flashed and disappeared among the flying pear blossoms.

As the thousands of evil lights shone over, the pear blossoms illuminated by the evil lights shattered and fell suddenly from the sky.

The evil god frowned and immediately looked around vigilantly for the trace of the Pear Blossom Fairy.

Suddenly, a petal of pear blossom appeared silently behind him. This petal was very different from other pear blossoms. It was snow-white all over, but with a hint of rouge-like blood inside.

With a "pop" sound, the petal of the pear blossom stuck directly to the back of the evil god's head. A chill rushed into his heart, and the evil god was horrified, but it was too late.

There was a flash of blood, and all the evil power and vitality of the evil god were sucked away by the pear blossom.

"Ugh" the evil god's body shriveled up at a speed visible to the naked eye, and his vitality quickly disappeared. He struggled, and let out an unwilling roar from his throat, then turned into a mummy and fell to the ground.

'Boom'

As the evil god died, the huge statue of the evil god collapsed with a loud bang, and countless huge rocks fell towards the sedan chair below. The girl in the sedan chair had no way to escape and closed her eyes in despair on the spot.

Just at this moment, a ray of fairy light flew over and landed on the sedan chair. It instantly emitted brilliance, covering the sedan chair and shaking the huge rocks away one by one.

The Pear Blossom Fairy was completely unaware of this scene and was just immersed in the joy of obtaining the power of the evil god.

She laughed triumphantly, feeling the mighty surging in her body, and said with satisfaction, "Okay, okay, as long as I absorb a few more cultivators in the Refining Spirit Returning to the Void realm, I can break through to the Refining Void Merging with the Dao realm and reshape my body. It's too risky to travel with my real body like this. If I encounter a powerful one, once my real body is in trouble, I will be doomed."

As soon as Fairy Lihua finished speaking, a clear voice came from above her head: "You are quite self-aware."

"Who?!" Fairy Lihua was shocked. There was someone else? She quickly looked for the direction where the voice came from, and then looked up at the sky ahead.

I saw a white cloud floating in the sky ahead, and on the cloud stood a man with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, with an immortal appearance, standing with his hands behind his back. He was wearing a 'three-color blue sky four-elephant robe', a 'purple ribbon and white jade belt' around his waist, and a 'Shangqing lotus crown' on his head. He was tall and slender, and looked otherworldly.

Seeing this attire, Fairy Lihua's pupils shrank, and she quickly bowed and said, "May I ask which deity has come?"

Zhuang Yan smiled calmly and said to Fairy Lihua: "Listen carefully."

Soon, Zhuang Yan sang in a clear voice: "The innate Qi transformed into the true form, the Tao is the most clear in Lingtai Palace. One day, he was summoned to Lingxiao Palace and was named Yuji Xianmiaojun."

Fairy Lihua's face changed in shock after hearing this, and she said in surprise, "Could it be Lingtai Yuji Xianmiao Zhenjun?"

Zhuang Yan nodded slightly and said, "Yes."

After saying that, Zhuang Yan raised his hand and lightly tapped the Pear Blossom Fairy. The Pear Blossom Fairy didn’t even have time to utter a scream before she died. Her soul and spirit flew away, and her body and flesh disappeared into thin air.

After the death of the Pear Blossom Fairy, Zhuang Yan raised his hand and waved, and fairy light filled the sky, instantly liberating the dead souls in the valley.

The sun finally shone into the valley that had been shrouded in fog for more than a hundred years. The corpses were exposed to the sun, but there was no longer any eerie atmosphere.

The girl in the sedan chair came out. She was supposed to be sacrificed to the evil god, but now she was the only person still alive here.

She looked up and saw the warm sunlight shining on her body, making this girl who had been in darkness for a long time feel a long-lost light.

The girl looked at Zhuang Yan's figure in the sky, knelt down and said, "Thank you for saving my life, Immortal. May I ask your name? I am willing to serve you for the rest of my life."

Zhuang Yan stood on the cloud, looking down at the girl below. Suddenly, he waved his sleeves, and in an instant a breeze blew across the girl's cheek.

The girl was in a trance for a moment. When she came to her senses and looked up at the sky again, Zhuang Yan was no longer there. There was only the vast blue sky, reflecting the sorrows and joys of all living beings, and the growth and decay of all things.
