I am a fairy in Journey to the West

Chapter 310: Wu Deng is cursed and in danger of his life, extorting purple money to redeem the flying knife
Taoist Wu Deng walked out of the cave and looked up at the sky. He felt confused. How come his injuries had healed, but his body was getting weaker?

It has been like this ever since he took the Golden Bone Yuan Pill and healed all the injuries to his bones and muscles.

His body was weak and he felt powerless all over. Even the circulation of his magic power became extremely sluggish.

"Something's wrong, something's wrong." Taoist Wu Deng shook his head and hurriedly called the only boy in his cave.

The boy, dressed in black, came to the Taoist Wu Deng and bowed, "Master, you called me?"

Taoist Wu Deng glanced at the boy and said, "Tong'er, your master is going to retreat for the next two days to avoid disasters. You must take good care of the cave."

When the boy heard this, he was surprised and asked, "Master, have you been robbed?"

Taoist Wu Deng shook his head and said, "I don't know, but I always feel that something is wrong with me these past two days, but I can't find the reason, so I need to retreat and hide for a while."

The boy heard this and said, "Master, don't worry, I understand."

"Yes." Taoist Wu Deng nodded slightly, turned around and was about to return to the cave, but at this moment a fairy voice came from outside the mountain: "Fellow Taoist Wu Deng."

When Taoist Wu Deng heard the voice, he formed a seal with his hands without hesitation and waved his hand. In an instant, a pitch-black fog enveloped his cave.

"Boy, go into the cave quickly." said Taoist Wu Deng.

The boy responded and quickly ran into the cave, while Taoist Wu Deng stood outside the cave, his body disappearing into the dark surroundings.

At this time, a golden light flew into the mountain. Taoist Wu Deng looked at it carefully and his eyes narrowed slightly.

I saw a fairy wearing purple fairy clothes, wearing a golden crown, and riding a golden-eyed camel flying out of the cave.

The golden crown on her head emitted a golden fairy light, illuminating everything around her.

Taoist Wu Deng was startled and quickly took a few steps back to make sure his body would not be illuminated by the light.

His nickname is 'Death without a Lamp'. Anyone without a lamp in his hand will die when he meets him, except for the Fire Spirit Immortal.

But the crown on the fairy's head was emitting golden light, like an extremely bright lamp, which had a great restraining effect on the magic of Taoist Wu Deng.

The Holy Mother of Fire Spirit rode her golden-eyed camel and stopped outside the cave of Taoist Wu Deng. She glanced at the surrounding black fog, then bowed and said with a smile: "Fellow Taoist Wu Deng, I am the Holy Mother of Fire Spirit, and I am here to pay my respects."

Taoist Wu Deng saw that the other party did not take another step forward, but took the initiative to salute, so he also hid in the darkness and asked: "Daoyou, what are you doing here?"

The Holy Mother of Fire Spirit said with a smile: "Daoyou, why do you have to hide like this? If I want to kill you, it would be very easy. I am not taking action now, which is enough to prove that I have no ill intentions. Daoyou, please disperse the black fog and show yourself."

Hearing what the Holy Mother of Fire said, Taoist Wu Deng said calmly, "I have never met you, and I have never heard of your name. I don't think there is anything to see, right?"

The Holy Mother of Fire Spirit smiled faintly and said, "You may not know me, but I know you. Have you felt weak and dizzy these days?"

Taoist Wu Deng was shocked when he heard this, but he still said calmly: "No, there is absolutely no such thing."

The Holy Mother of Fire Spirit laughed and said, "Fellow Daoist, please don't be stubborn. Your magic power has been stagnant these past few days. Your body is weak and you feel dizzy and confused. The condition is getting worse day by day. Don't hide it from me."

Taoist Wu Deng thought about it carefully and realized that it was true. He became more and more shocked and immediately remembered what Fairy Qiong Xiao said about him being cursed.

Taoist Wu Deng was about to ask, but unexpectedly, Holy Mother of Fire Spirit said directly: "Daoist friend, you are cursed, I am here to save you."

After the Holy Mother of Fire Spirit finished speaking, there was no response from Taoist Wu Deng for a long time. After an unknown amount of time, the black fog around them quickly dissipated, and the figure of Taoist Wu Deng appeared.

The Holy Mother of Fire Spirit smiled and said, "Daoyou, you are finally willing to show yourself."

Taoist Wu Deng bowed to the Holy Mother of Fire Spirit and said, "I am honored."

The Holy Mother of Fire Spirit returned the greeting, and at this time Taoist Wu Deng asked, "Daoyou said that I was cursed. Do you have any evidence?"

The Holy Mother of Fire Spirit shook her head and smiled, "No need for proof, because the person who cursed you is in the same group as me. We managed to get your real name and cast a curse on you."

"Huh?" Taoist Wu Deng was greatly surprised, and immediately looked at the Holy Mother of Fire Spirit with shock and anger.

Taoist Wu Deng was filled with anger, and his expression was uncertain. After a long silence, he looked at the Holy Mother of Fire Spirit and said, "I have no grudge against you. Why would you do such a despicable thing?"

The Holy Mother of Fire Spirit smiled and said, "It's nothing, it's just for money."

"For money?" Taoist Wu Deng was stunned.

The Holy Mother of Fire Spirit nodded and said, "Yes, I heard that you are very rich, and I can't get it by ordinary means, so I have no choice but to threaten you with your life."

When Taoist Wu Deng heard this, he immediately said with disdain: "If you want to make money, go and earn it yourself. Why do you do such a despicable thing?"

"Hey, fellow Taoist, you are wrong." The Holy Mother of Fire Spirit said with a smile: "How can you make money faster by doing this?"

When Taoist Wu Deng heard this, he cursed him in his heart, but he didn't understand the situation, so he could only swallow his anger temporarily and asked, "How much do you want?"

The Holy Mother of Fire Spirit held out four fingers. Taoist Wu Deng sneered in his heart and said, "Forty thousand?"

"No." The Fire Spirit Mother smiled and said, "Four hundred thousand purple coins."

Taoist Wu Deng took a deep breath and said in shock, "Four hundred thousand purple coins?! Why don't you just go and rob them!"

The Holy Mother of Fire said with a smile: "Isn't this just robbery?"

Taoist Wu Deng immediately said decisively: "No, I don't have money, but if you want my life, just take it."

"Okay." The Fire Spirit Mother nodded and smiled, "I won't force you. Since you are unwilling to give it, I will go back first. But I still want to remind you that this curse will take effect in five days. By then, your three souls will be separated, you will be unconscious, and you will die soon."

At this point, the Holy Mother of Fire Spirit said to Taoist Wu Deng: "I will come again in five days to collect your body."

After saying that, the Fire Holy Mother rode away on her golden-eyed camel. Taoist Wu Deng stared at the Fire Holy Mother's back and wanted to take action several times, but he finally held back.

After the Fire Spirit Immortal left, Taoist Wu Deng raised his hand and was about to cast a spell, summoning black fog to cover the cave.

But as soon as he activated his magic power, he felt a black screen before his eyes, and then he felt dizzy and weak all over. Taoist Wu Deng finally recovered and saw the boy supporting him. He asked with concern, "Master, what's wrong with you?"

Taoist Wu Deng did not say anything, but walked into the cave and sat down inside.

For the next day and night, Wu Deng Taoist meditated in the cave without saying a word. He tried all kinds of methods but could not find the root cause of the curse on himself.

By the third day, Taoist Wu Deng's condition had become increasingly serious. Not only was his body extremely weak, but even the circulation of his magical powers became extremely difficult. At the same time, he would become dizzy and have difficulty breathing if he moved the slightest.

Obviously, this was a sign of death. Taoist Wu Deng finally became a little scared. He hurriedly called the boy to his presence, took out a mustard seed bag and handed it to the boy, saying, "Boy, take this mustard seed bag. If I lie here unconscious in two days, you must give this mustard seed bag to a person called 'Holy Mother of Fire Spirit'."

The boy took the mustard seed bag and immediately asked, "Master, where can I find her?"

"You don't have to go look for her. She will come to you on her own in two days." Taoist Wu Deng said.

"Yes." The boy nodded.

Another day passed, and Taoist Wu Deng could no longer speak. Saliva kept drooling from his mouth, and he looked like a demented person.

Two days later, Taoist Wu Deng had collapsed there, his eyes were dull and his mind was unclear. There were signs that his soul and spirit were leaving his body.

At dawn two days later, the Fire Spirit Mother came again riding on her golden-eyed camel. This time she swaggered straight into the cave.

Looking at the unconscious Taoist Wu Deng lying in the cave and the boy serving beside him, the Holy Mother of Fire Spirit shook her head and said, "You are a ruthless person who is willing to sacrifice your life for a little purple money."

Hearing the words of the Holy Mother of Fire, the boy hurriedly stood up and ran over, bowing to the Holy Mother of Fire, saying, "Goddess, can you save my master?"

The Holy Mother of Fire Spirit looked at the boy and smiled, "Of course I can save him, but your master doesn't understand the principle of giving up, so I can't do anything about it."

Hearing this, the boy asked again: "May I ask if the Immortal is called 'Holy Mother of Fire Spirit'?"

The Fire Mother asked, "Exactly. How do you know me?"

The boy said quickly, "My master told me to give this mustard seed bag to the immortal if he comes to visit me."

Seeing the mustard seed bag in the boy's hand, the Fire Spirit Mother's eyes lit up. She waved her hand, took the bag in her hand, opened it, and saw that it was full of purple coins.

The Holy Mother of Fire Spirit counted with her divine sense, and it was exactly 400,000. "You are really rich."

After that, the Holy Mother of Fire Spirit said to the boy, "You take good care of your master here, I will go and save him."

The boy nodded and said, "Thank you, Immortal."

The Fire Spirit Mother put away the mustard seed bag, turned around, rode the golden-eyed camel out of the cave, and returned to the Eight Bitterness Gorge.

"We got the money." The Holy Mother of Fire Spirit smiled when she saw Lu Ya and the other two and said, "That Wu Deng Si is indeed rich. Come on, let's share some first."

Lu Ya, Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao came over with smiles on their faces. The Fire Spirit Mother took out a mustard seed bag on the spot and divided the 400,000 purple coins equally with everyone.

Afterwards, the Holy Mother of Fire Spirit said to Lu Ya: "Fellow Daoist, since the money has been obtained, please remove the altar and lift the curse."

"Okay." Lu Ya nodded, then turned around and cast a spell to erase the real name of Taoist Wu Deng from the straw man, then burned the straw man with fire, and then removed the altar.

Then Lu Ya took out 100,000 purple coins and bowed to the three Fire Spirit Mothers, saying, "I will go and redeem the Immortal Slaying Flying Knife. I'll have to trouble you fellow Taoists with the matters here."

The three Fire Spirit Holy Mothers nodded and smiled, "You can go if you want, fellow Taoist."

Lu Ya nodded slightly, then took off on a cloud and flew out of the Eight Bitterness Gorge.

At the same time, on the other side, Taoist Wu Deng suddenly woke up and sat up directly from the stone couch.

The boy next to him saw Taoist Wu Deng sitting up and said with surprise, "Master, are you awake?"

Taoist Wu Deng sat there blankly for a long time, then asked the boy, "Has the Holy Mother of Fire Spirit been here?"

"Yes." The boy nodded and said, "I gave her the mustard seed bag as well."

When Taoist Wu Deng heard this, he heaved a long sigh. Feeling that his physical power was no longer abnormal, he thought for a long time and murmured, "No, this Xuanxian Great Tribulation is different from the past. Masters from all sides have appeared one after another. I have been unlucky in everything during this period. Now I have been secretly murdered and extorted for 400,000 purple coins. If this continues, I am afraid that before the Xuanxian Great Tribulation is over, I will be dead."

When the boy heard this, he couldn't help but ask Taoist Wu Deng: "Master, what do you want?"

Taoist Wu Deng said: "Master has decided to find a backer."

The boy asked, "Who is the master looking for as a backer?"

Taoist Wu Deng thought about it carefully, and then said: "I heard that the eldest daughter of Emperor Dongyue, Bixia Yuanjun, has arrived in Dongsheng Shenzhou to open a residence. I am an old acquaintance of Marquis Xuanling, so this is a good opportunity for me to go there and seek refuge with her."

After saying this, Taoist Wu Deng did not delay any longer. He immediately packed up his things, left the cave with the boy, and flew up on a cloud to the mountain residence where Bixia Yuanjun was.

Just as Taoist Wu Deng went to seek refuge with Bixia Yuanjun, Lu Ya also came to Qingping Mountain with 100,000 purple coins.

It just so happened that Zhuang Yan had already returned to the mountain and had already ordered Baojie to wait in front of the mountain gate.

Lu Ya landed outside the mountain gate, but this time he did not dare to act rashly. He walked forward, bowed and said, "I am Lu Ya, and I have come to pay my respects to the True Lord of Lingtai."

Baojie played with the red gourd in his hand and said to Lu Ya, "The master told me to wait for you here, come with me."

"Thank you, fairy boy." Lu Ya smiled, and then his eyes fell on the red gourd in Baojie's hand.

Seeing that he was staring at the red gourd in his hand, Baojie tilted his head, pointed the red gourd at Lu Ya and said, "This is a toy given to us by the master. Just say 'baby please'"

Before Baojie could finish his words, Lu Ya stepped forward and covered his mouth with his hands, saying in panic: "Don't read it, don't read it."

As they were talking, the two of them had already arrived outside the Divine Palace. Jiang Han and Xiu Huang were just witnessing this scene. Xiu Huang saw Lu Ya covering Bao Jie's mouth with one hand and reaching for the red gourd, and immediately glared at him and shouted, "What a thief! How dare you steal things in broad daylight."

After saying that, Xiu Huang directly used the "cramp method" to attack Lu Ya. Lu Ya cried out "ouch" and his whole body twitched. Although he did not fall to the ground, he was grimacing in pain and sweating profusely.
