I am a fairy in Journey to the West

Dongsheng Shenzhou, Wendizhou, and Baku Gorge.

At this moment, the entire Baku Gorge is three hundred miles in radius. Except for the continuous and towering mountains on the surrounding areas, all the peaks, steep slopes, and gullies in the valley have been flattened.

The 300-li-long canyon of Baku Gorge was artificially divided according to the directions of the Eight Trigrams. At the same time, there are nearly 100,000 independent cultivators busy in the canyon like ants.

In the Eight Bitterness Gorge, there were gusts of spiritual wind and overflowing rays of light. The more than 100,000 independent cultivators were divided into eight areas. Under the command of a group of earth immortal independent cultivators, they tirelessly used their magic power to cast pieces of lapis lazuli neatly into the ground.

Jiang Han looked back at the more than 3,000 pieces of lapis lazuli he had forged in half a day. His whole body was soaked with sweat. Even though he was an earthly immortal, the consumption of forging lapis lazuli underground was enormous.

Jiang Han wiped the sweat off his face, stood up and glanced at the busy casual cultivators around him, and said casually: "For such tiring work, the Earth Immortals only get ten purple coins a day, and those below the Earth Immortal level only get five purple coins a day. They are really unscrupulous."

Xiao Sheng, who was passing by as a supervisor, heard this and immediately stepped forward and said to Jiang Han, "If you want to work, do it. If you don't want to work, leave. If you don't want to work, there are plenty of people who will do it."

When Jiang Han saw Xiao Sheng, he immediately asked, "Why are you so arrogant, fellow Daoist?"

Xiao Sheng put his hands on his waist and sneered, "I paid for it, so I am arrogant. What can you do to me?"

"Then I quit. You have to pay me the wages for these days." Jiang Han said, stretching out his hand.

When Xiao Sheng heard this, he immediately took out a roll of account book, opened it and asked, "What's your name?"

"Jiang Han."

There was a glow between Xiao Sheng's fingers. He lightly tapped the account book, and the book automatically turned to the pages with Jiang Han's name on them.

"There are more than a dozen Jiang Hans, which one is you?" Xiao Sheng asked after looking at Jiang Han.

Jiang Han said: "The most handsome one is me."

Xiao Sheng raised his eyebrows when he heard this, glanced at Jiang Han, and then pointed at one of the Jiang Hans in the account book and said, "Then this is you. You worked for ten days and earned a total of fifty purple coins."

Jiang Han was surprised when he heard this. He formed a seal with his hands and revealed a fairy light. He said, "Daoyou, look at my fairy light. I am obviously an earthly immortal. An earthly immortal gets ten purple coins a day. In ten days, there should be at least a hundred purple coins, right? How did you calculate it?"

Xiao Sheng said: "Don't blame me, you said the most handsome one is you, this guy is the most handsome among these 'Jiang Han's'."

"Okay." Jiang Han spread his hands and said, "I'm just kidding. The 'Jiang Han' who earns the most is me."

Xiao Sheng rolled his eyes, flipped two pages at random, and turned to one of the Jiang Hans. He said, "Fifteen years ago, on the Jiazi day, at the third quarter of the morning, you came here to work. This Jiang Han is you, the Earth Immortal. You worked for fifteen days, and you got a total of 150 purple coins."

When Jiang Han heard this, he was a little indignant and said, "You're asking when you know which one is me?"

Xiao Sheng spread his hands and smiled: "Why, can't I ask?"

Jiang Han snorted and said, "Give me the money quickly. I'll leave after I'm paid."

Xiao Sheng took out one hundred and fifty purple coins from his sleeve and threw them casually at Jiang Han's feet. In an instant, the one hundred and fifty purple coins were scattered all over the ground.

Jiang Han immediately glared at Xiao Sheng and asked, "What do you mean?"

Xiao Sheng waved his sleeves and said, "Come and eat!"

"Your mother!" Jiang Han was furious. He jumped up and punched Xiao Sheng in the face. Xiao Sheng cried out "ouch" and fell to the ground.

The wandering cultivators around were so frightened that they quickly dispersed, and no one dared to pick up the purple coins on the ground.

"Boy, you dare to hit me?!" Xiao Sheng's cheeks were red and swollen. He fell to the ground and looked up at Jiang Han and shouted.

Jiang Han spread his hands and said, "Why? Can't we fight?"

After saying that, Jiang Han waved his sleeves and immediately collected all the 150 purple coins on the ground. He then said to Xiao Sheng, "This is not charity. This is money I earned with my own hard work."

After saying that, Jiang Han turned around and rode on the cloud, turning into a ray of cloud light and flew out of the Eight Bitterness Gorge.

As Jiang Han left, a ray of fairy light fell beside Xiao Sheng, and an immortal in a black robe appeared and helped Xiao Sheng up.

"Are you okay, fellow Daoist?" asked the black-robed immortal.

Xiao Sheng glanced at his good friend Cao Bao, then laughed, touched his red and swollen cheek and said, "It's okay, I was ambushed by that guy."

Cao Bao smiled and said, "Should we chase them and fight them back?"

Xiao Sheng waved his hands and said, "Forget it, it's just a punch, it's nothing serious."

Cao Bao asked, "Are you being mean again?"

Xiao Sheng spread his hands again and said, "It's natural, what can I do?"

At this point, Xiao Sheng suddenly remembered something, and quickly opened the account book, entered the purchase and sales under Jiang Han's name, and then put the account book away.

At this moment, a ray of fairy light flew from the sky and landed directly on a reed area in the Baku Gorge.

Feeling the immortal light, Cao Bao said to Xiao Sheng: "Daoist Fellow Lu Ya is back."

Xiao Sheng was surprised and said, "Killed Akshobhya Buddha so quickly? Fellow Daoist Lu Ya is indeed one of the most powerful cultivators among us."

"Let's go." Cao Bao said, "Let's go and see how the Buddha's fate is different from ours."

"Okay." Xiao Sheng nodded, and he and Cao Bao rode on the clouds and flew into the reed-covered area.

As soon as the two returned to the reed tent, they immediately saw Taoist Lu Ya sitting there sighing.

The two were somewhat surprised, and hurriedly stepped forward to ask, "Why are you sighing here, fellow Taoist? Could it be that Akshobhya Buddha escaped?"

Lu Ya sighed and said, "It wouldn't be a big deal if he just escaped, but it's a pity that my Immortal Slaying Flying Knife was taken away by someone."

"What? Is there such a thing?!" Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao felt a chill on their necks when they heard this, and they were all shocked and asked, "How was it taken away?"

Lu Ya only told what happened, and then said: "That Lingtai Zhenjun is really scary. He can take my magic weapon with just a wave of his hand."

Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao looked at each other, both feeling a little unbelievable.

At this time, a fragrant breeze blew in from outside the reed tent. Everyone looked back and saw a tall and plump fairy wearing colorful clothes and a golden crown on her head walking in.

Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao bowed and said, "Daoist Fellow Huo Ling."

The Holy Mother of Fire Spirit returned the greeting, then looked at Lu Ya and asked, "Did your trip go smoothly, fellow Daoist?"

Lu Ya said: "We successfully lost a powerful weapon."

"Oh?" The Fire Spirit Mother asked in surprise, "Why?" Xiao Sheng then told the Fire Spirit Mother what had happened. After listening to her, the Fire Spirit Mother took a deep breath and said, "The Immortal Slaying Flying Knife was taken away by someone?!"

"Yes." Lu Ya nodded.

The Holy Mother of Fire Spirit suddenly felt a chill on her neck and asked hurriedly, "Can you take it back?"

Lu Ya looked at her and asked, "You want to take it?"

The Holy Mother of Fire Spirit pondered upon hearing this, and after a moment she said, "Let's think of another way?"

"There is a way." Lu Ya said, "The Lingtai Zhenjun said that it can be redeemed for 100,000 purple coins."

The Fire Spirit Mother's eyes lit up and said, "One hundred thousand purple coins? That's not much."

Lu Ya immediately stood up and said with a smile: "Then please quickly give me 100,000 purple coins so that I can redeem the Immortal Slaying Flying Knife."

The Holy Mother of Fire Spirit immediately said in embarrassment: "But we have just entered the Three Realms, where can we get so much purple money?"

Lu Ya said, "Aren't you in charge of the treasure ship full of purple coins given by the old man?"

When the Holy Mother of Fire Spirit heard this, she immediately shook her head and waved her hands, saying, "That won't do. The purple coins are used to build the 'Heavenly Sacrifice Altar'. Wasn't it for this altar that the old man worked so hard to stir up the calamity power in the outer world? We dare not touch this money."

Lu Ya said, "What's wrong with borrowing 100,000?"

"No." The Fire Spirit Mother said, "Let's think of another way."

Seeing her firm attitude, Lu Ya said, "Then we have no choice but to rob houses?"

"Good idea." Cao Bao's eyes suddenly lit up and he said, "Speaking of robbery, I have a suitable person here."

Lu Ya asked: "Who?"

Cao Bao said, "I met a Taoist a few days ago. His name is a bit strange, called 'Wu Deng Si'. This person has strange supernatural powers and can kill people without being seen. Therefore, he specializes in killing people for money. No matter who it is, he will pay 10,000 purple coins to kill someone. He said that he has been doing this business for thousands of years, so he must have a lot of purple coins in his hands."

"Hey." The Holy Mother of Fire Spirit looked at Lu Ya and said, "Don't you have a treasure called 'Seven Arrows Book'? Why don't you use this treasure to curse the dead Taoist Wu Deng? When his life is in danger, I will pretend to be a doctor to remove the curse for him. The consultation fee will be 100,000 purple coins. What do you think?"

Lu Ya clapped his hands and said, "Good idea, but one hundred thousand is a little too little, we need two hundred thousand."

Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao said, "Why not three hundred thousand? As the saying goes, whoever sees it gets a share."

The Holy Mother of Fire Spirit smiled and said, "That will cost four hundred thousand."

After everyone finished discussing, Lu Ya immediately went to set up the altar to think of a way. This 'Seven Arrows Book with Nailed Head' was said to be a magic weapon, but it was actually a curse.

All you need to do is build an altar and a camp, and place a straw man on the platform with the enemy's name written on the man's body. There should be a lamp on the man's head and a lamp under the man's feet. The man should walk in a fighting pattern, write a talisman, burn the seal, and worship three times a day, until noon on the 21st day.

During this process, the cursed person has almost no ability to resist. After twenty-one days, the enemy's three souls and seven spirits will be dispersed. At this time, shooting an arrow at the straw man is like shooting the enemy's body, causing his body to die.

However, Lu Ya encountered a problem as soon as he started the altar. He frowned and said to Cao Bao: "What is Wu Deng Si's real name?"

"Uh" Cao Bao was stunned for a moment. The name Wudengsi sounded like a Taoist name or a nickname, and the curse technique required the real name.

All practitioners have a real name, and the Taoist name is just a code name. In fact, the Taoist name and the Dharma name are a means for practitioners to replace and hide their real names.

"Let me ask." said the Holy Mother of Fire.

Cao Bao was stunned for a moment and asked, "How can you ask? How can he tell you his real name?"

The Holy Mother of Fire Spirit smiled and said, "You probably don't know this. In the Three Realms, there is a place called 'The Underworld'. In it is a book called 'The Book of Life and Death', which controls the birth, aging, sickness and death, fortune and lifespan of all living beings in the world. His real name is naturally on the Book of Life and Death."

"I know about this, too." Xiao Sheng said, "But the underworld only governs mortal beings, and Wu Dengsi is an earthly immortal. His fate of life and death is no longer under the jurisdiction of the underworld, but is under the jurisdiction of the Lord of the East."

The Holy Mother of Fire Spirit smiled and said, "That was after he became an immortal. The records before he became an immortal must be archived in the underworld. We can find out by just checking."

After saying this, the Holy Mother of Fire Spirit immediately conjured up three incense sticks, lit them, and stuck them into the ground. As green smoke rose, the Holy Mother of Fire Spirit immediately formed a seal with her hands, cast a spell, and said, "I am Fire Spirit. I ask Judge Tao of the Palace of King Qin Guang in the underworld to show his spiritual response."

With the Holy Mother of Fire's spiritual practice, her prayers can naturally reach Judge Tao in the underworld.

When Judge Tao heard that it was an immortal named "Fire Spirit" who was praying, he immediately separated a wisp of his divine consciousness and manifested it. In an instant, the green smoke from the three fragrant sticks gathered in the air to form a majestic statue.

"Hmm?" The statue looked at the Holy Mother of Fire Spirit and asked in confusion, "You are also called Fire Spirit?"

The Holy Mother of Fire Spirit had just bowed and greeted her. When she heard this, she couldn't help but ask in surprise, "Is there someone called Fire Spirit here?"

"Of course." Judge Tao nodded, then his tone became indifferent, "What do you want to call me for, Taoist friend?"

The Holy Mother of Fire Spirit said, "I have something to ask of you, the judge, for a small favor."

"Ask me for help? Tell me now." Judge Tao said.

The Holy Mother of Fire Spirit told Judge Tao that she wanted to ask Wu Dengsi's real name. After hearing this, Judge Tao was immediately shocked and said angrily: "You are so bold as to spy on others' real names. You also want me to break the Yin Law and reveal the real names of immortals. What crime should you be punished for?"

"Hey." The Holy Mother of Fire Spirit said with a smile, "Why do you say that, Judge? I have never tried to find out other people's real names, and I have never asked you to break the Yin Law. I just want to ask if the scroll that records the real name of Taoist friend Wu Deng is still there? It would be bad if it is lost."

After she finished speaking, the Fire Spirit Mother raised her sleeve and waved it. Lu Ya, Xiao Sheng, and Cao Bao saw a ray of fairy light flying from the Fire Spirit Mother's sleeve to the front of Judge Tao, and quickly disappeared in the green smoke.

The next moment, Judge Tao's tone paused slightly, then became gentle. He nodded and said, "I see. Let me take a look. Eh? If you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known that the scroll recording Wu Deng Si's real name was lost and can't be found."

After that, Judge Tao said to the Holy Mother of Fire Spirit, "I have to go back and sort out those old documents, so I'll take my leave now."

After saying this, the statue of Judge Tao instantly turned into green smoke and dissipated, but in the green smoke, a yellowed piece of jade book paper floated down.

The Holy Mother of Fire Spirit quickly stepped forward to take the paper, and when she looked closely, she saw Wudengsi’s real name written on it.

"Got it." The Fire Spirit Mother immediately turned around and handed the paper to Lu Ya. Lu Ya's face lit up with joy. He took it and took a look at it, then copied his real name directly onto the straw man.

Xiao Sheng curiously asked the Holy Mother of Fire Spirit, "What did you throw out of your sleeve just now?"

The Holy Mother of Fire smiled mysteriously and replied, "This is not something that can be told to outsiders."

Xiao Sheng frowned, looking puzzled, while Cao Bao beside him smiled and said, "What else could it be? Money makes the world go round."

The Fire Mother laughed and did not deny it.

On the other side, Taoist Lu Ya had already set up the altar, and the camp, straw man, and lamps were all in place. He began to walk the magic circle, write the talisman, burn the seal, and worship the straw man with Wu Deng Si's real name written on it. (End of this chapter)
