I am a fairy in Journey to the West
Chapter 278: Entering the Mountain to Detain the Spirits and Sending Immortals to Help People
A majestic aura descended from Mount Zhongnan, and this aura, accompanied by auspicious light and colors, landed outside the Yunji Cave in Mount Zhongnan.
Bixiao was dressed in a fairy dress of jade-like beauty, with a graceful figure and outstanding demeanor. She glanced lightly at the Yunji Cave in front of her, and suddenly a cave appeared in the mountain, and the weeds retreated.
In just a moment, a gravel path slowly appeared at the feet of Bixiao, and at the end of the gravel path was a simple and clean cave.
"The cave that I opened up when I came to Mount Zhongnan with my two sisters to listen to Laojun's preaching is still there. It's just the right time to reopen it now." Bixiao said softly, then stepped in.
Bixiao had just entered the cave and finished setting up things when she suddenly felt something. She glanced sternly outside the cave with her jade eyes, then raised her hand and grabbed.
As a fairy light flashed, a figure covered in divine light was immediately captured by Bixiao into the cave. After the figure landed, a god wearing the robe of the seventh-rank official of the lower Yuan Dynasty of the Heavenly Court immediately appeared.
"Land God, long time no see." Bixiao's gaze fell on this righteous god, and then he spoke slowly.
The land god of Zhongnan Mountain was startled. He felt that the voice was very familiar. He looked up suddenly and asked in surprise, "Empress Bixiao?"
Recognizing the person in front of him, the land god of Zhongnan Mountain hurriedly bowed and said, "I pay my respects to the Queen Bixiao."
Bi Xiao bowed slightly in return, and then said: "Land God, I asked you to come here because I want to ask for your help."
The land god heard this and thought to himself: "You are not inviting me."
But on the surface, he became more respectful and said, "What instructions does the queen have?"
Bi Xiaoyan said, "There are only two things. The first is to ask you to hide my whereabouts in Zhongnan Mountain. The second is to ask you about the whereabouts of the two of you."
When the land god heard this, he immediately nodded and said, "The first thing is easy. I will hide your energy and feet for you now."
Having said that, the land god immediately took out the land book and hid the record of Bixiao falling into Zhongnan Mountain.
After disappearing his aura, the land god asked Bixiao, "The queen said she wanted to ask me about the whereabouts of two people. Who are they?"
Bixiao said: "Li Chunfeng, Yuan Tiangang."
Hearing this, the land god was slightly startled, and then quickly said: "My lady, please wait a moment, I will check it out."
After that, the God of Land carefully checked the land book. After a moment, he said, "My Lady, Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang are currently collecting herbs on the 'Qiyun Ridge' in the north of Mount Zhongnan."
"Got it." Bi Xiao replied calmly, then took out a gourd and sent it to the land god temple with his magic power, saying: "There are sixteen 'Dao Xing Xian Dan' in this gourd, take it."
The land god's eyes lit up, and he quickly reached out to catch the gourd, then bowed and said, "Thank you for the elixir, my lady. Do you have any other instructions?"
"No more." Bi Xiao waved his hand and said, "If there is anything, I will call you over."
Upon hearing this, the land god said, "Yes, then I'll take my leave first." As soon as he finished speaking, white smoke rose from under the feet of the land god. In a moment, his entire body was shrouded in the white smoke, and he disappeared into the ground.
After the land god left, Bixiao raised his hand and grabbed again, and another fairy light flashed. This time, the person who appeared in the cave was not the real god, but a woman wearing a red cloud crown, a red jade fairy dress, and a proud face.
The woman appeared in the Yunji Cave and looked around in confusion at first. When she saw Bixiao, she was shocked and hurried forward to pay her respects, saying, "I, the little fairy, pay my respects to the Queen Bixiao."
Bi Xiao looked at the woman and smiled, "Zhu Li, I have something for you to do."
Upon hearing this, the woman named Zhu Li did not hesitate to bow and said, "Please give your orders, Madam."
Bixiao said: "Go and lend a helping hand to the Tang Emperor's daughter, Princess Gaoyang. She is now staying at the Sanxian Temple in Zhongnan Mountain."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Li immediately asked, "May I ask, Madam, what is it that I am going to help her accomplish?"
Bi Xiao smiled and said, "When you see her, just tell her why you are here, and she will tell you then."
Zhu Li bowed slightly and said, "I understand."
Bixiao immediately stretched out his hand and took out a spirit bead the size of a baby's fist from his sleeve. The spirit bead was fiery red in color, with flames flowing inside it, violent and fierce, as if it contained enormous power.
"This is the immortal treasure 'Five Fire Spirit Pearls', you can take it." Bixiao used his magic power to send the Five Fire Spirit Pearls to Zhu Li and said.
Zhu Li looked at the Five Fire Spirit Pearl in front of her. The fire energy that occasionally emanated from it made her feel extremely comfortable. She immediately stretched out her hands to catch the Five Fire Spirit Pearl, then bowed and said, "Thank you, Madam."
Bi Xiao smiled calmly and said, "No need to thank me. When you succeed, you will be rewarded handsomely. Also, remember that the person Princess Gao Yang is looking for is currently collecting herbs on the 'Qiyun Ridge' in the north of Zhongnan Mountain."
Zhu Li agreed, then bid farewell to Bixiao, turned around and left the Yunji Cave, then flew directly towards the Sanxian Temple on a cloud.
When Zhu Li arrived at the Sanxian Temple, Princess Gaoyang had already gotten up, washed up, and was enjoying breakfast.
Princess Gaoyang looked a little dazed, and from time to time she told the palace maids around her about her dream last night about 'Niangniang Bixiao', one of the three fairies.
The palace maids and servants around her just followed Princess Gaoyang's words and flattered her, but in fact they didn't care about such things.
However, at this moment, the Tang army lieutenant walked into the room where Princess Gaoyang was having breakfast and said to her with a strange look on his face, "Your Highness, we were ordered to find the abbot of the temple Liu Ruoxun but failed to find him. Instead, we discovered something else."
Princess Gaoyang asked, "What's the matter?"
The lieutenant said, "The statues of the three immortals in the Three Immortals Hall are gone."
"What?" Princess Gaoyang looked at the lieutenant in surprise. She didn't even eat breakfast, but stood up and said, "Take me over to have a look." Soon Princess Gaoyang was escorted by the lieutenant and a group of soldiers to the Three Immortals Temple. When she saw the empty altar, she was stunned.
"Who did it?" Princess Gaoyang murmured.
But she quickly came to her senses and shouted angrily, "Who did this? Who stole the statue of the Three Immortals?!"
The lieutenant said, "Your Highness, I have ordered people to check. There is a hole behind the Three Immortals Hall. The hole is very new and should have been opened last night. The other three statues are all solid wood sculptures. The lightest one weighs three hundred or four hundred pounds. It is already very difficult for people like us to carry one. You want to steal three statues in a row under our noses. This..."
Princess Gaoyang looked at the lieutenant and asked, "What's this? Just speak up."
The lieutenant colonel said, "Your Highness, this may not be done by a human."
"It wasn't done by a human?" Princess Gaoyang sneered, "If it wasn't done by a human, then it must have been done by a ghost? What kind of ghost is so powerful that it dares to steal the statues of the three ladies?"
The lieutenant said, "Your Highness, this is what I mean. This might be done by a cultivator. Those cultivators have magical powers. It would be no problem for them to steal not only one statue, but even three statues at the same time."
Princess Gaoyang's face turned cold, and she said, "With so many of you guarding inside and outside the Three Immortals Temple, didn't you notice anything unusual?"
The lieutenant bowed and said, "Your Highness, calm down. We did not find anything unusual last night. By the way, it seems that only Master Liu Ruoxun entered the Three Immortals Hall last night. Could it be..."
"Nonsense." Princess Gaoyang interrupted the officer and said, "Master Liu is the master of the Three Immortals Temple. Why would he steal his own statue? He is not crazy."
The lieutenant said: "But this Master Liu is nowhere to be seen now."
Princess Gaoyang frowned and said, "Send someone to look for him immediately. I suspect that an evil cultivator had invaded the Sanxian Temple last night. Master Liu may be in danger."
Upon hearing this, the lieutenant immediately bowed and said, "As you command."
Just as the lieutenant was about to turn around and leave, Princess Gaoyang suddenly said again: "Wait a moment."
The lieutenant turned around and bowed to Princess Gao Yang, saying, "Please give your orders, Your Highness."
Princess Gaoyang said, "Gather all the soldiers and guards. I have something to say to them."
The lieutenant nodded in response and soon gathered all the sergeants and guards together.
Princess Gaoyang looked at the soldiers who were lined up in an orderly manner, solemn and brave. She slowly raised her hand, pointed at all the soldiers, and said, "You are all useless! Even stray dogs on the roadside are more useful than you!"
After saying that, Princess Gaoyang turned around and left, leaving behind the dazed lieutenant colonel and a group of Tang soldiers standing there.
After an unknown amount of time, the soldiers came to their senses. Anger immediately appeared in their eyes, and they all looked at the colonel in front of them.
The lieutenant also looked stunned. It took him a long time to react. He immediately grasped the hilt of the knife with his left hand, but quickly let go.
Looking at the angry soldiers, the lieutenant said nothing more, but said: "Her Royal Highness the Princess asked us to find Master Liu Ruoxun. Now I will send a few people."
The lieutenant emphasized the words "Her Royal Highness the Princess". Upon hearing these words, the soldiers immediately suppressed their anger and listened quietly to the lieutenant's orders.
At this moment, a fairy figure flew straight into the Sanxian Temple. The young officer was startled at first, and then he saw a woman with bright eyebrows and eyes and a graceful figure appear in the temple.
The officer's face changed slightly, and he shouted, "Who is it?"
Hearing the lieutenant's shout, all the soldiers immediately drew their swords and turned around to surround the woman.
The woman was none other than Zhu Li. She glanced at them indifferently, then uttered a light shout. Suddenly, a flash of fire appeared. The soldiers and lieutenants immediately felt a burst of burning fire coming towards them. The fire brought with it a force that was difficult for them to resist, and instantly the lieutenants and the soldiers were blown away.
There was a sound of weapons clanking and armor colliding, and the lieutenant colonel and the soldiers fell to the ground in a mess. They were not seriously injured, but they were all shocked with their eyes wide open.
After Zhu Li knocked down all the soldiers, she ignored them and followed Princess Gao Yang's scent to the outside of her guest room.
"I am Zhu Li, and I have come here specially to help Your Highness on orders." Zhu Li stood outside Princess Gaoyang's palace and bowed slightly.
Soon, Princess Gaoyang came out of the guest room with her maids and servants. She stood at the door, staring at Zhu Li, who looked like a fairy, and asked, "What did you say?"
Zhu Li bowed his head again and said, "I am Zhu Li, following the order of the Fairy Lady Bi Xiao, and I have come to help Your Highness."
Hearing this, Princess Gaoyang felt a numbness all over, as if an electric current surged through her body, instantly making her alert. "In compliance with Queen Bixiao's order?" she murmured.
"Yes." Zhu Li nodded.
Princess Gaoyang was stunned in the spot, and soon she shuddered all over, and immediately came to her senses and said, "Could it be that the dream I had last night was true?!" Thinking of this, Princess Gaoyang was so excited that her whole body trembled. Could it be that she really had the appearance of a human emperor? That's why Queen Bixiao sent someone to assist her?
Thinking of this, Princess Gaoyang immediately walked down the steps to greet Zhu Li, bowed to her, and then confirmed again: "Is the Immortal really here on the orders of Queen Bixiao?"
Zhu Li smiled slightly, without further explanation, and said to Princess Gaoyang: "When the Queen sent me here, she asked me to tell Your Highness that the two people you are looking for are currently collecting herbs on the North Qiyun Ridge in Zhongnan Mountain."
"The two people I'm looking for." Princess Gao Yang muttered to herself, and suddenly she reacted, clapped her hands and laughed, "I see, it seems that the immortal is indeed the immortal messenger sent by Queen Bi Xiao."
After saying that, Princess Gaoyang immediately invited Zhu Li to come into the house for a chat. Zhu Li bowed and then walked into the house with Princess Gaoyang.
After an unknown amount of time, Princess Gaoyang and Zhu Li walked out again. She no longer mentioned going to look for Liu Ruoxun, but called the lieutenants over and ordered them to pack up the camp immediately, prepare the sedan chair, and then head towards the direction of "Qiyunling".
