I am a fairy in Journey to the West

Chapter 34: Kunlun Mirror, Yaotai Restores the Jade Edict

Seeing Zhuang Yan taking in Master Tianmiao and Yaochi Golden Girl, Lan Caihe immediately said to everyone, "What do you think? I told you it would be easy for the Lingtai Mountain God to take in these two."

The seven fairies nodded, all with surprise in their eyes. Lü Dongbin laughed loudly and said, "It is true that there are always people who are better than you. I didn't lose out by giving you this dog meat."

Zhuang Yan held the pottery jar and walked in front of Yao Hua Xianjun, who praised him loudly, "You are so powerful, mountain king!" Then he reached out to take the pottery jar, but Zhuang Yan slightly pulled the jar back.

Yao Hua the Immortal was slightly stunned and looked at Zhuang Yan with a puzzled look.

Zhuang Yan smiled and looked at Yao Hua Xianjun meaningfully. Yao Hua Xianjun suddenly realized and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll write a written agreement for you."

Having said that, Yao Hua Immortal Lord handed the piece of meat back to Zhuang Yan, who caught it with his left hand.

Then, Yao Hua the Immortal took out a golden tablet, held it in his left hand, and took the red jade pen in his right hand to write on it.

After finishing writing, Yao Hua took out his own jade certificate of immortality and lightly stamped it on the golden tablet.

Instantly, the seal of the immortal official's jade book was printed on the golden tablet. It was twelve large characters: The Jade Emperor ordered the seal of the Minister of the Yao Palace.

After stamping the seal, Yao Hua Immortal Lord put away the Immortal Official Jade Book and the Danzhu Jade Brush, held the golden tablet in his left hand, and stretched out his right hand.

Zhuang Yan understood and handed the pottery jar to Yao Hua Xianjun with a smile. Yao Hua Xianjun took it and then handed the golden tablet to Zhuang Yan.

Zhuang Yan took the golden tablet and looked at it carefully. He saw three lines of golden characters written on it: "In compliance with the order of the Queen Mother of the West, the Palace of the Imperial Secretariat of the Jade Palace invites the Lingtai Mountain God Zhuang Huiyan to attend the Jade Pool Peach Festival, as ordered."

I was a little surprised after reading these three lines. Isn't this a document? Why does it look like a formal invitation?

Zhuang Yan was about to ask, but Lan Caihe suddenly said, "Lingtai Mountain God, you haven't told the Immortal Lord the method to unlock the seal yet."

Upon hearing this, Yao Hua was stunned for a moment, then he quickly checked the seal of the pottery jar and found that he could not open it.

Yao Hua Xianjun raised his jade eyes slightly, looked at Zhuang Yan and said: "Lingtai Mountain God, you are being a little unfair."

"Haha." Zhuang Yan laughed and said, "I didn't mean to do that, I just forgot." After that, Zhuang Yan took out a piece of topaz mounting paper, turned on the add status function, and added the 'release' status on the topaz mounting paper.

Zhuang Yan handed the topaz paper to Yao Hua Xianjun and said, "When the time comes, just stick this talisman paper on it and the seal will be lifted. Remember, this talisman paper can only be used once."

Yao Hua Xianjun took the talisman paper and put it into her sleeve. Then she stretched out her hand to Zhuang Yan and said, "Give me the Kunlun Mirror as well."

"Hey." Zhuang Yan took a step back and said with a smile, "Before, we only talked about capturing the Golden Lady of Yaochi, but didn't mention the Kunlun Mirror."

Yao Hua Xianjun said: "The Kunlun Mirror is the treasure of the Queen Mother, how can you take it by force?"

Zhuang Yan smiled and said, "I didn't take it by force. I took it from the Golden Lady of Yaochi. I didn't steal it or rob it. What you said is unreasonable."

Yao Hua Xianjun said: "No matter what, these are treasures that Yao Chi Jinnv stole from Queen Mother Wang, and now they should be returned to their original owners."

"I don't care about that. I just got it from the Golden Girl of Yao Chi. I don't know who the original owner is." Zhuang Yan said with a smile.

When Yao Hua saw that Zhuang Yan was determined to deny the Kunlun Mirror, he was at a loss for a moment and turned to look at the Eight Immortals.

The Eight Immortals had already turned around and gathered in twos and threes, pointing at the white clouds and talking about the mountains and rivers, as if Yao Hua and Zhuang Yan did not exist.

Yao Huaxianjun: “.”

Finally, she could only say helplessly: "Well, since the Lingtai Mountain God is unwilling to return it, I can't force him, but I will report the truth to the queen. Goodbye."

After saying this, Yao Hua bowed to Zhuang Yan and the Eight Immortals. The Eight Immortals then turned around and returned the greeting to Yao Hua.

Zhuang Yan bowed and smiled, "Go slowly, Immortal Lord."

Yao Hua the Immortal Lord nodded, then his body turned into a green rainbow and soared into the clouds, flying straight towards the Yaochi treasure land in West Kunlun.

After Yao Hua left, the Eight Immortals immediately surrounded Zhuang Yan.

Tieguai Li said, "Lingtai Mountain God, your dodging and retracting skills are really amazing. I wonder who taught you this? What kind of Taoism do you belong to?"

Zhuang Yan smiled and said, "It's neither Taoism nor Buddhism. I realized it myself."

"What a good understanding and aptitude," Tieguai Li exclaimed.

Zhong Liquan said, "You old fool, do you believe what he said he realized?"

Tieguai Li smiled and said, "I'll just take it as my belief."

He Xiangu smiled and said, "As the saying goes, 'It's rare to be confused'. Tiger Jun and I are colleagues, so why bother asking so clearly?"

"That's right." Lan Caihe nodded, then said to Zhuang Yan, "Shan Jun, did Yao Hua Xianjun give you a written agreement just now?"

"What document?" Han Xiangzi asked.

Lan Caihe smiled and said, "Yao Hua Immortal Lord promised that as long as the Lingtai Mountain God helped her capture the Yaochi Golden Girl, he would give the Lingtai Mountain God a spot in the next Peach Festival."

"Oh?" The immortals looked at Zhuang Yan in surprise. Zhuang Yan also took out the golden tablet and said, "I was just about to ask you, the immortals, this doesn't look like a document."

The eight immortals came over and looked at the golden tablet in Zhuang Yan's hand. Unexpectedly, after just one look, Lü Dongbin patted Zhuang Yan on the shoulder and said with a smile: "This is not a document at all, it is simply an invitation to the Peach Banquet. As long as you have this invitation, you can attend any Peach Banquet, but you can only use it once. When you arrive at Yaochi, the golden tablet will be taken back."

Zhuang Yan was surprised when he heard this: "Invitation? Doesn't this require the permission of the Queen Mother of the West?"

Lan Caihe sighed, patted Zhuang Yan on the shoulder and said, "Guess what Yao Huaxianjun's job as the 'Shangshu of the Yao Palace' is? If even such a small matter requires asking the Queen Mother of the West before it can be done, then she is too useless as a third-rank Shangshu."

Zhuang Yan suddenly realized what was going on, and then he put away the golden tablet, with a happy smile on his face, "Today is a really good day. If the eight immortals have nothing to do, why don't you go to my small temple on Lingtai Mountain and sit for a while?"

"Go!" Cao Guojiu said with a smile, "Who dares not go when the mountain king invites you?"

Lu Dongbin made a gesture with his fingers, and the Pure Yang sword on his back was instantly unsheathed. A clear sword chant was heard that shook the sky, and the Pure Yang sword immediately emitted nine sword auras.

"Come, come, everyone, ride on the sword energy and go to Lingtai Mountain to sit for a while." After Lu Dongbin finished speaking, he lightly swiped his sword finger, and the nine sword energies immediately flew to everyone's feet.

Afterwards, Zhuang Yan and the Eight Immortals, amidst laughter and joy, rode on the sword energy and transformed into nine sword lights and disappeared into the sky.

West Kunlun, Yaochi Treasure Land, Qingxue Palace.

The fairy palace of Langyuan, the jade tower and the golden palace, the silk curtains rolled up, and the sandalwood smoke is vague.

Immortal Lord Yao Hua, holding a whisk in his arms, bowed and walked into the Qingxue Palace.

The Queen Mother of the West sits high in the palace, wearing the "Jade Snow and Pure Jade Fairy Clothes", the "Nine Heavens Golden Flower Crown" on her head, and holding the "Heavenly Colorful Jade Ruyi" in her hand. A round light behind her head shines all over the sky. She is unparalleled in majesty, stunning in appearance, with a voluptuous face and a gorgeous hairdo, and is unparalleled in her elegance and grace.

"Your servant Yao Hua was ordered to capture the Golden Lady of the Jade Pool. Now I have captured her and am reporting to the Queen Mother." Immortal Lord Yao Hua came to the center of the hall and bowed to the Queen Mother of the West.

The Queen Mother of the West slowly opened her eyes and asked, "Where is the Golden Lady of Yaochi?"

Yao Hua Xianjun immediately took out the pottery jar and said, "Your Majesty, I have asked the Lingtai Mountain God Zhuang Yan to capture the Yaochi Golden Girl, who is now sealed in this pottery jar."

"Let her out." said the Queen Mother of the West.

Yao Hua the Immortal Lord accepted the order, then took out the talisman paper and pasted it on the pottery jar. A white light flashed on the pottery jar, and the seal was immediately lifted. The pottery jar shattered and the Golden Girl of the Jade Pool fell to the ground in an instant.

The Golden Girl of Yao Chi spit out a mouthful of blood, then looked around hurriedly. When she saw the scene clearly, her face turned pale and she looked up tremblingly.

The moment she saw the Queen Mother of the West, Yao Chi Golden Girl collapsed to the ground, muttering, "My Queen."

The Queen Mother of the West looked at the Golden Girl of Yaochi and said, "You stole the treasure and wanted to go down to the mortal world. You violated the laws of heaven. I should have sent you to the beheading platform, but considering your past contributions, I will not execute you. However, the laws of heaven are strict. If you do not punish me severely, the laws of heaven will not tolerate it."

The Queen Mother of the West holds the title of "Great Emperor" in the Heavenly Palace, so she calls herself "朕".

"Where is the spiritual officer in front of the palace?" Queen Mother of the West called out.

Soon, two female spirit officials wearing golden armor and golden helmets came in majestically and bowed, saying, "Your Highness is here."

The Queen Mother of the West pointed at the Golden Girl of Yaochi and said, "Take her away, break up her body, and place her soul into the 'Yuan Miao Golden Lotus' to rebuild."

"We will obey your orders." The two spirits bowed and accepted the order, then stepped forward, captured the Golden Lady of the Jade Pool and dragged her out of the hall.

Afterwards, Queen Mother of the West asked Immortal Lord Yao Hua, "Did you retrieve the Kunlun Mirror?"

Yao Hua the Immortal Lord quickly said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I will report to you later." Then Yao Hua the Immortal Lord reported the matter of Kunlun Mirror to the Queen Mother of the West.

After listening to this, Queen Mother of the West had a calm expression, neither happy nor angry, and said: "The Kunlun Mirror was originally a treasure that I used to strengthen my tendons and bones when I was practicing. If it fell into the lower world and was obtained by demons, it would inevitably cause harm to the people. Since it has been taken away by the Lingtai Mountain God, there is no need to worry about it. The Lingtai Mountain God is an immortal official in my heavenly court. The Kunlun Mirror in his hands can also suppress demons and bring benefits to the people. There is no need to ask for it. Just regard it as a reward for him."

"Yes." Yao Hua Immortal Lord bowed and accepted the order.

Then Yao Hua reported the promised Peach Banquet to the Queen Mother of the West and apologized, saying, "I acted on my own initiative. Please punish me, Queen Mother."

Queen Mother Xi closed her eyes again, and gently stroked the Ruyi in her hand with her jade hand, saying: "You are the Minister of Yao Palace, this is your authority, and you are not guilty. Fortunately, this matter has been resolved and it has not become a big deal. You have also made an indelible contribution."

After saying this, Queen Mother of the West used her magic power to deliver the 'Tianhua Wancai Jade Ruyi' in her hand to Yao Hua Xianjun, saying: "This Ruyi has accompanied me for countless epochs. It is an 'immortal treasure', and its power is far greater than Kunlun Jian. Now I give it to you as a reward."

Yao Hua was slightly startled, and bowed quickly, saying, "How dare I accept such a generous reward."

The Queen Mother of the West formed a seal with her hands, closed her eyes and said calmly, "I will accept the reward."

Upon hearing this, Yao Hua the Immortal Lord immediately bowed down and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your gift." After saying this, he stood up and took over the 'Tianhua Wancai Jade Ruyi'.

"Okay, go and do your thing." said the Queen Mother of the West.

Yao Hua Xianjun bowed and left immediately, while the Queen Mother of the West in the hall said calmly: "Dan."

The next moment, a group of female fairies from the Yao Chi Temple in the hall immediately came forward holding jade plates filled with various elixirs, and stood on the steps of the hall in turn, presenting the elixirs to the Queen Mother of the West.
