I am a fairy in Journey to the West

Chapter 302: Paying homage to the True Lord, and testing the gods

Qingping Mountain is a place where gods reside.

The Lion King and his wife stood respectfully outside the hall, their faces full of respect, but their hearts were filled with anxiety.

After a while, Baojie walked out of the hall, looked at the Lion King and his wife and said, "My two Taoist friends, the True Lord invites you to come in. Please follow me."

"Okay." The two men responded nervously, then lowered their heads and followed Baojie into the hall.

After entering the main hall, Bao Jie stepped forward and reported, "Master, the Lion King and his wife have arrived."

After saying that, Baojie walked forward and stood on the right side of Zhuang Yan.

The Lion King and his wife lowered their heads and walked forward quickly. They only dared to glance at Zhuang Yan quickly, then bowed and said, "The little king (little fairy) pays homage to the Spiritual Platform Master."

Zhuang Yan smiled and said, "Get up, no need to be polite."

The Lion King and his wife thanked them and stood up. Only then did they dare to look up at Zhuang Yan.

Yu Jing was immediately shocked, covering her mouth and asked in surprise: "You are Lingtai Zhenjun?"

"What? Don't I look like one?" Zhuang Yan asked with a smile.

“No, no, no,” Yu Jing quickly waved her hands and said, “I just didn’t expect it. I didn’t expect you to be…”

At this point, Yu Jing's face suddenly changed, and then he knelt down and bowed to Zhuang Yan, saying: "I am guilty, please punish me, Master Lingtai."

The Lion King looked at his wife in confusion, not understanding how she had offended Lingtai Zhenjun, so he knelt down as well.

Zhuang Yan laughed, and stretched out his hand to help him up, saying, "Get up. I will forgive you."

Yu Jing was talking about the day when Jiang Han went to Guiji and was stopped outside by her, but Zhuang Yan would not care about such a trivial matter.

Yu Jing heaved a sigh of relief and bowed quickly, "Thank you, Master, for your magnanimity."

The couple bowed and thanked him, then Yu Jing took out a mustard seed bag from his sleeve and presented it with both hands, saying, "Your Excellency, we have come to pay our respects, but we don't have many treasures to offer. The things in this mustard seed bag are a token of our love, please accept them."

Xiu Huang stepped forward, took the mustard seed bag from Yu Jing, then turned around and handed it to Zhuang Yan.

Zhuang Yan raised his hand and took the mustard seed bag into his hand. He scanned it with his spiritual sense and immediately found that it was full of purple coins.

Zhuang Yan looked slightly surprised and asked, "How much purple money is there in here?"

Yu Jing said: "A total of 573,624 purple coins are what my husband and I earned from founding the Ghost Market over the years."

Zhuang Yan smiled and said, "There are both small and large amounts. This means that all the family assets have been taken out."

Upon hearing this, the couple hurriedly bowed and said, "Please accept it, Master."

Zhuang Yan shook his head, raised his hand and used his magic power to send the mustard seed bag back to Yu Jing, saying: "I appreciate your kindness, but I will not accept these purple coins."

"This..." Yu Jing and the Lion King looked at each other, and then looked at the mustard seed bag in front of them. There was a hint of doubt and uneasiness in both of their eyes.

Could it be that this Lingtai Zhenjun has too big an appetite and thinks that 570,000 purple coins are too little?
How could Zhuang Yan not see what the two were thinking? He smiled and said, "It's not that I look down on your purple money. Whether you give me gifts or not, I won't make things difficult for you."

“Although there are many sinful transactions at the ghost market you founded, you are not aware of the objects of the transactions. Although you provide those demons with a place to trade, their sins cannot be counted on you,” Zhuang Yan said in a calm voice.

The Lion King bowed quickly and said, "Your Excellency is wise. My husband and I will close the Ghost Gathering after we return."

Zhuang Yan waved his hand and said, "Why close it? Ghost Gathering is good, but the name is not good, and the format needs to be changed."

Hearing this, the Lion King and Yu Jing looked at each other, and then the couple said in unison: "Please give us your instructions, Master."

Zhuang Yan said, "I have a suggestion for you. Change Yinfeng Mountain to Qingfeng Mountain, move the Ghost Market out of the cave and openly open it in the mountain. Also change the name of Ghost Market to Xianfang."

"Take these purple coins back. They will be needed for doing these things." Zhuang Yan said.

When the Lion King heard this, he immediately reached out and took the mustard seed bag. He then glanced at Yu Jing, then knelt on the ground again and said, "Master, please allow me to report. Actually, my husband and I have a request for you."

Zhuang Yan said, "You want to rely on me and let me protect you and help you get through the Xuanxian Tribulation safely, right?"

The Lion King was startled and bowed, saying, "The True Lord is as good as a god."

Zhuang Yan smiled and said, "As long as you build this 'Immortal House' as I say, I will protect you during the Xuanxian Great Disaster."

When the Lion King heard this, he immediately understood that this "Xianfang" was a token of his allegiance to Zhuang Yan. Only if he did this well would Zhuang Yan accept him.

"I understand now. Thank you for your guidance." The Lion King responded and put away the mustard seed bag.

Zhuang Yan nodded, raised his hand and waved, "Okay, you guys go back first. If you have any difficult problems, you can come to Qingping Mountain to find me."

The Lion King and his wife bowed their heads and said, "Yes, True Lord."

Afterwards, the couple stood up and bowed to leave. Zhuang Yan ordered Baojie to escort them out of Qingping Mountain.

After the Lion King and his wife left, Zhuang Yan raised his hand and sent out more than twenty talismans, which quickly flew out of the hall and flew in all directions.

Three days later, all the earth gods who were blown away by the Samadhi Divine Wind on Yuanou Mountain that day came to the foot of Qingping Mountain.

But their condition is not very good. Almost most of the gods were sent here by little demons from all over the place. Because they are basically blind, some have broken legs, and some have broken hands.

But those little demons could only send them to the bottom of Qingping Mountain. They dared not go up any higher because the divine power on Qingping Mountain made them breathless.

Therefore, these earth gods could only feel their way up the mountain by themselves. It took them an hour to climb to the foot of the Qingping Mountain Cliff, and then they used the help of earth escape to reach the top of the mountain by leaning against the cliff.

When these earth gods arrived at the top of the mountain, suddenly a warm and cool mountain breeze blew towards them. Everyone felt cool all over their body, and their eyes that had been blinded by the Samadhi Divine Wind quickly healed.

In an instant, the sight of all the gods of the earth was restored, and all their injuries were healed.

Everyone looked at the clear and spiritual world before them, and they were all amazed, but soon they saw two boys standing in front of them.

Everyone's expressions became solemn, and they immediately realized that the mountain wind was the magic of Lingtai Zhenjun, so they stepped forward and bowed to the two boys Baojie and Xiuhuang, saying, "We are here to meet the audience at Qingping Mountain in accordance with the order of Lingtai Zhenjun."

Baojie and Xiuhuang nodded, then turned around and said, "Everyone, please."

Everyone followed Baojie and Xiuhuang to the outside of the bamboo pavilion. Seeing Zhuang Yan sitting in the pavilion, they all stepped forward and bowed, saying, "We are here to greet the True Lord." Zhuang Yan said, "No need."

Everyone thanked him and stood up. Zhuang Yan then asked directly, "Aren't Xuan Ling Hou and Ding Jiang Dragon King in Xiang Ling Mansion?"

Everyone was puzzled when they heard this. After looking at each other and asking, they said to Zhuang Yan, "Replying to Master Zhen, we have suffered from eye diseases since we were blown away by the divine wind that day, and we have never seen Marquis Xuanling and Dingjiang Dragon King again."

Zhuang Yan nodded, and then continued, "The land gods of Xiaoguo Mountain and Yinfeng Mountain disrespected the laws of heaven and disrespected the divine power. They have been stripped of their divine positions, their divine bodies have been broken up, and they have been sent into reincarnation to be taken away by the human world."

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and they all knelt down and kowtowed, "Master, we little gods admit our sins."

Zhuang Yan waved his hand and said, "I didn't call you here to punish you. I don't care how you became the right gods in the past. Now my Diyoushen Mansion wants to reform the way of gods."

"Reform Shinto?" Everyone was puzzled. At this time, a land god asked: "May I ask, Lord Zhen, how will you reform Shinto?"

Zhuang Yan said, "I'm sure you all know about the Xuanxian Great Tribulation. Now there is a powerful being from outer space disrupting the tribulation force, and the Xuanxian Great Tribulation is showing signs of getting out of control. So in order to stabilize the human world, I have to reform the Shinto in Dongsheng Shenzhou first. To put it simply, there are two points: first, you must have ability. Second, you must have virtue."

"That is to say, from now on, for all of you who are unqualified, I will have the Ministry of Humanity revoke your official position, transform your divine body into a physical body, demote you to a casual cultivator, and give you purple money for dismissal."

"I know that you are able to become true gods. You must have virtues, but I can't say for sure about your abilities."

At this point, Zhuang Yan waved his hand and issued 26 imperial edicts, which were delivered to each of the gods. He said, "Each of these imperial edicts contains a test. After you receive it, you must follow the test. If you do well, you will pass and can continue to serve as a god. If you do not do well, you will be dismissed."

After Zhuang Yan finished speaking, everyone looked at the talisman in front of them with expressions of confusion and embarrassment on their faces.

Seeing this, Zhuang Yan said again: "If you do not want to accept this imperial edict, then please hand in your resignation letter and I will pass it on to the Human Ministry for you."

Hearing this, everyone's expression changed slightly. After hesitating for a while, they still reached out to take the talisman that tested their abilities.

Seeing that everyone had accepted the talisman, Zhuang Yan raised his hand and said, "I will give you seven days to complete the test on the talisman. After seven days, whether you pass the test or not, you must return to Qingping Mountain with the talisman to report."

When everyone heard this, they bowed and said, "We will obey the command of the True Lord."

Zhuang Yan nodded slightly, then waved his sleeves and said, "Go ahead."

Everyone said goodbye and left, then left Qingping Mountain with shaking heads and sad faces.

Chongbei Cliff, Erxiao Taoist Temple.

Under the careful treatment of Qiong Xiao and Bi Xiao, Marquis Xuan Ling and Ao Yan finally recovered from their eye diseases and regained their sight.

Looking at the clear sky, the gentle breeze and the beautiful scenery of the mountains and rivers, Marquis Xuanling couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. It felt so good to see the light again.

A few days ago, Taoist Wu Deng brought back the head of King Yu Monkey, and now Taoist Wu Deng has returned to his own Taoist temple.

"Now, we can return to Xiangling Mansion." Xuanling Hou said slowly with a smile.

But soon, Xuan Linghou turned around, brought Ao Yan to Qiong Xiao and Bi Xiao, bowed and said: "Thank you two ladies for curing my illness. I will never forget it."

Qiong Xiao smiled calmly, stretched out his hand and said, "No need to be polite, fellow Taoists. Please stand up."

Xuan Linghou and Ao Yan thanked us and stood up. Then Bi Xiao said, "You don't have to thank us for anything, let alone say 'I will never forget you'. Just give us back the elixirs we consumed."

Hearing this, Xuan Linghou immediately said, "Of course it should be so. I wonder how many pills the two ladies used and how much they cost?"

Qiong Xiao didn't say anything, but just looked at Bi Xiao.

Bi Xiao said, "Let me calculate it." After that, he looked thoughtful. After a moment, Bi Xiao raised his head and said, "This time, I used 135 precious elixirs of various types to treat your eye diseases. The five elixirs are not counted as a small amount. The rest is 130,000 purple coins."

Marquis Xuan Ling was stunned on the spot for a moment, and even Ao Yan behind him looked at Bi Xiao in amazement.

After a moment, Xuan Linghou asked, "Madam Bixiao, did you calculate correctly?"

"Yes, that's right. Why do you suspect that I lied to you?" Bixiao's face suddenly darkened.

Xuan Linghou waved his hands repeatedly and said, "No, no, I dare not. It's just to treat our eye diseases. How could you consume so many immortal pills?"

Bixiao pointed at the empty medicine gourds beside him and said, "Didn't you use up so many elixirs these days through external and internal application? Do you think your eye injury is minor? Or are we, as elders, deliberately tricking you?"

At this point, Bi Xiao's tone was already somewhat angry, and he said, "Come on, come on, I must settle this account with you today, so that no one will say that I, Bi Xiao, deliberately deceived the younger generation in the future."

Seeing Bixiao was angry, Xuanling Hou quickly said, "Empress Bixiao, please calm down, calm down. I was ignorant. The two ladies were so kind to take me in and treat me, and they used up a lot of elixirs and magical medicines, but I was so ignorant that I doubted the two ladies. I really deserve to die."

After that, Marquis Xuan Ling directly pulled out a mustard seed bag from his sleeve, took out 130,000 purple coins from it and presented it to the emperor, saying, "This is 130,000 purple coins to compensate the two ladies for the cost of treating our injuries. Please accept it, ladies."

Bi Xiao glanced at the 130,000 purple coins calmly, but did not take them. Instead, he said, "How dare I take this money? I'm afraid that if I take it today, there will be rumors about the two of us everywhere in the future."

"Absolutely not!" Xuan Linghou immediately raised his right hand and swore to the sky: "I, Xuan Linghou, swear to the sky that after I leave this place, I will never be subject to any rumors from the two ladies. If I break this oath, I will be punished by heaven and earth."

Having said that, Marquis Xuan Ling asked Ao Yan to swear again, and Ao Yan quickly raised her hand to swear.

Bi Xiao then turned from anger to joy, waved her sleeves to take the 130,000 purple coins, and said with a smile: "That's right, my sister is treating your injuries out of compassion, how could she cheat you?"

"Yes, yes, yes. I have been judging others with a mean heart." Marquis Xuan Ling nodded repeatedly in response. He felt bitter at this moment. He wished he could continue to be blind.

No wonder Taoist Wu Deng brought them to Chongbei Cliff right away. It turned out that they were all from the same group. For the first time, the filter that Marquis Xuan Ling had for these "highly respected" ancient immortals was shattered.

At this moment, Marquis Xuan Ling did not want to stay here any longer, so he immediately bid farewell to Qiong Xiao and Bi Xiao, and then left Chongbei Cliff with Ao Yan.

After leaving Chongbei Cliff, Xuanling Hou sighed deeply and said, "Let's go back to Xiangling Mansion."

"Yes." Ao Yan looked at Marquis Xuan Ling's distressed expression and didn't say much. She just responded and followed Marquis Xuan Ling all the way to Xiang Ling Mansion.

After Xuan Linghou and the other two left, Bi Xiao said to Qiong Xiao with a happy face: "Hahaha, I only spent 20,000 purple coins and earned 110,000 purple coins. This business is really profitable."

Qiong Xiao smiled and shook his head, saying, "It's just that this business is too damaging to our reputation."

Bi Xiao heard this and sighed, "I can't help it. I can't care about these things now. The most important thing is to repay the debt of 4 million purple coins to the Heavenly Court. I'm sorry to implicate you, my sister, and fall with me."

Qiong Xiao smiled slightly, without saying anything, but waved his hand to clean up the house, and then said: "Now we just wait for the next 'sucker' to come." (End of this chapter)
