I am a fairy in Journey to the West

The white clouds are floating, the world is ethereal, the cool September passes by in a flash, and the chilly October comes.

If we were to say who was the most frustrated person in the past month, it would undoubtedly be the fifth prince of Dongyue, Xuanling Hou.

A month ago in the Taishan Palace, Wangshu rejected him in person, and his attitude was firm, leaving no room for negotiation.

As the Crown Prince of Dongyue, his proud and conceited heart was instantly shattered into thousands of pieces, and he was naturally extremely disappointed.

As for the Demon King Peng, he has already settled his wives, concubines and children, and entered the Dongyue Demon Subduing Division to serve as a demon-subduing general.

Afterwards, Zhuang Yan appeared in the dream of the governor of Xiahengzhou and handed him a talisman, ordering him to deliver it to the Eighty-Four Peaks.

When the governor of Xia Hengzhou woke up from his dream, he saw a magic talisman in his hand. Not daring to be careless, he immediately led the officials, soldiers and civilians of Xia Hengzhou to the outside of the Eighty-Four Peaks and personally delivered the magic talisman into the Eighty-Four Peaks.

As soon as the governor of Xiahengzhou entered the pass of the Eighty-Four Peaks, the talisman in his hand turned into a golden light that shot up into the sky. Then the earth shook, dust and smoke swept across the sky and earth, and the sound of roar was endless.

The golden light spread, covering the entire Xia Hengzhou. Then the golden light directly broke the layout of the eighty-four peaks, breaking up the eighty-four peaks and rearranging them in the entire Xia Hengzhou.

On this day, people in the entire Xiahengzhou saw an astonishing sight: countless mountains rose from the ground, flew into the sky and flew in all directions.

The original eighty-four peaks occupied half of Xia Hengzhou. Because of the natural formation, mortals could not enter it, let alone pass through it.

If any big demon occupies this place, it can establish an independent country and dominate one side, which is very inconvenient for all living beings.

Therefore, after the Demon King Peng entered the Demon Subduing Division, the eighty-four peaks would naturally be broken up and rearranged.

These eighty-four peaks are randomly arranged in the entire Xia Hengzhou. From then on, more than half of the land in Xia Hengzhou, known as the "foreign land", can be used by the people of Xia Hengzhou.

After this incident, Zhuang Yan's title as a deity spread throughout Xiahengzhou. People in Xiahengzhou built temples for Zhuang Yan and held sacrifices for him in spring, summer, autumn and winter.

At the same time, the Dongyue Tianqi Divine Palace also entered regular operation under the control of the Fire Spirit Immortal.

With the establishment of the Demon Subduing Division and the joining of Demon King Peng and others, the power of the Dongyue Tianqi Divine Palace is also recovering rapidly.

Of course, there are more things to happen to the True Immortal Fire Spirit. After all, in the previous battle in Kunxianze, tens of thousands of righteous gods were killed.

These righteous gods are the mountain gods, water gods, and even land gods from all over the Dongsheng Continent. They all need to be promoted and reappointed.

It can be imagined that the Fire Spirit Immortal will not be able to relax for the next few hundred years.

Zhuang Yan, on the other hand, lived a very leisurely life, with Taoist Mosquito guarding the mountain and Wangshu as the temple master, all he had to do was "sit in charge" of the human world.

Moreover, as the overall situation in Dongsheng Shenzhou gradually stabilized, the Xuan Sect no longer stirred up the Xuanxian calamity, which caused the calamity power between heaven and earth to slowly decrease.

As long as the great catastrophe is not stirred up to trigger new catastrophe power, the catastrophe power will slowly be consumed with the natural operation of all living beings in heaven and earth.

For example, a war in the human world, a conflict between monks, any life and death situation can consume and resolve a lot of calamity power.

In addition, the Xuanjiao had begun to enter the world to preach and save people like Taoism and Buddhism. As time went by, after just half a year, more than 60% of the calamity power in Dongsheng Shenzhou had been dissipated.

Dongsheng Shenzhou, Bufang Kingdom, Baoyan City.

Today is the eighth day of April. Baoyan City is decorated with lights and crowded with people.

The streets were crowded with tourists, and all the shops, restaurants and inns, big and small, hung signs saying "half-price today, free admission for monks".

The reason for this is that today is an extremely important festival in Buddhism: Buddha Bathing Day.

Buddha's Birthday, also known as 'Christmas Day', is the holy day of the birth of Buddha Shakyamuni.

As a country where all believe in Buddhism, Bufang naturally celebrates such an important festival with great fanfare.

According to the laws of the country of Burma, on the day of Buddha's Birthday and the three days before and after, seven days, all city gates across the country will be opened, the curfew will be lifted, and people can enter and leave freely without being checked.

At the same time, even prisoners in prison can be released from prison during the seven days of Buddha's Bathing Festival to participate in the celebrations.

Of course, it is not just the country that opens its doors to charity. The people as well. During the seven days before and after the Buddha's Bathing Festival, soldiers are not allowed to carry weapons, thieves are not allowed to steal, and even bandits have rules and are not allowed to rob or hurt people during these seven days.

If there are rebels raising troops in the country, they cannot resort to force during these seven days. Conversely, the Bufang court is also unable to resort to force.

If any party violates it, it will mean disrespect to the Buddha and will lose the Buddha's blessing and the trust of the people. The consequences will be very serious.

Baoyan City is the capital of the Bufang Kingdom. On this day, the queen, concubines, princes, princesses, as well as many royal relatives, civil and military ministers followed the king to the "Dong'ou Temple" to worship Buddha and burn incense.

And during the Buddha Bathing Festival, the "Jin Guang Zen Master" of Dong'ou Temple will come out to preach to the king, ministers and people.

Zen Master Jin Guang was the first abbot of Dong'ou Temple. It is said that he was one of the first group of Buddhist monks who came to the East with Akshobhya Buddha, and Dong'ou Temple was built by him.

During the Xuanxian Great Tribulation, the situation in the human world became very unstable, so every time Master Jin Guang came out to preach, it was very rare. Zhuang Yan was wearing a blue shirt, and it was hard to tell whether he was a Taoist or a Buddhist. He walked slowly on the wide and prosperous streets of Baoyan City, but his eyes fell on a couple not far away.

The couple were both wearing indigo clothes. The man was handsome and bright, and the woman was naturally beautiful. They looked very well matched together.

Needless to say, the man is Sun Youlin, and as for the woman, who else could it be except Ao Yan?
Although Sun Youlin was just a mortal, his body was pure and free of impurities. It was obvious that Ao Yan had found him a elixir that could purify his body.

Zhuang Yan withdrew his gaze from Ao Yan and Sun Youlin, and looked towards the front left, where he saw a Taoist priest with long hair and beard, looking like an immortal, who was reading fortunes for passers-by.

Zhuang Yan walked forward and was about to talk to the Taoist priest, but unexpectedly a young man in brocade clothes also walked over.

The man didn't look very good, looked a little lost, and seemed to have suffered some kind of blow.

The man pushed Zhuang Yan away and stood in front of the Taoist priest.

Zhuang Yan smiled indifferently, and did not argue with this mortal. Instead, he stood aside and watched quietly.

The Taoist priest looked at the young man, cupped his hands and smiled, "Blessings and infinite heavenly master, young man, would you like to have your fortune told?"

The man looked at the old Taoist priest and said, "My country Bufang is full of Buddhists. It is Buddha Bathing Festival. What are you, a Taoist priest, doing here?"

The old Taoist priest smiled and said, "I am here to celebrate the festival as well. Who says Taoist priests can't celebrate the Buddha's festival?"

The man said, "Okay, let me ask you a question. If you answer it well, I'll give you money. If you don't answer it well, you won't get anything."

The old Taoist priest stretched out his hand and said, "Excuse me."

The man said, "There is a rich man in Baoyan City. He is young, rich, and has a huge fortune. He also married the most beautiful woman in the country. Do you think this man has a good life?"

The old Taoist said: "Good, very good, even I, an old Taoist, envy you to death."

The man nodded and continued, "But this young richest man suddenly discovered that his most beautiful wife was having an affair with his best friend. Do you think this is a good or bad fate?"

The old Taoist priest said in surprise: "It's not good again."

The man wiped his face, with a trace of tears in the corners of his eyes. He continued, "So this young richest man donated a large sum of money to Dongou Temple. He met the current abbot of Dongou Temple and asked him for advice. Should he turn a blind eye? Or should he bring the adulterer and the adulteress to court?"

The old Taoist priest asked, "What did the monk say?"

The man said, "The host asked him to divorce his wife. Since they no longer love each other, why should they stay together and waste each other's time? But he loves his wife very much and he really can't bear to leave her."

The old Taoist scratched his head and asked again: "What's next? What does the master say?"

The man said: "Then the host master gave the young richest man a piece of red-hot coal and told him to take it, and he took it."

"What then?" the old Taoist asked again.

The man said: "Then the young richest man screamed in pain from the burns and dropped the piece of charcoal on the ground. Then the host told him that if he let it go, it would stop hurting, but if he didn't let it go, it would continue to hurt."

The old Taoist priest smiled and said, "How did the young man choose?"

The man said: "The young man thanked the host and left, but he still couldn't let go. He couldn't bear to leave his wife, and he couldn't bear to let his wife be with someone else."

The old Taoist nodded, then looked at the man carefully and said, "Young man, I see you look miserable and your head is glowing green. Could that young richest man be you?"

The young man was stunned for a moment, but he didn't get angry. Instead, he silently stretched out his right hand, and his palm was covered with burn scars and blisters.

Then the young man looked at the old Taoist priest and said, "The Buddhist master advised me to let it go, so I want to ask the Taoist priest what he has to say and what I should do?"

The old Taoist nodded and said, "I understand."

As he spoke, the old Taoist priest rummaged through the bamboo basket behind him for a while, then took out an extremely sharp machete and handed it to the man, "Here."

The man looked at the machete in surprise, but did not reach out to take it, saying, "You cannot hold sharp objects on Buddha's Birthday."

The old Taoist priest smiled and said, "This is the machete I used to cut through the mountains when I was crossing the hills. It's not a very sharp weapon."

The man hesitated for a moment, then took it, and then saw the old Taoist priest make a chopping motion with his hand knife.

The man suddenly realized and said, "The Taoist priest is advising me to bravely cut off my feelings for her and break off all ties with her from now on. We should never see each other again and have nothing to do with each other for the rest of our lives?"

“No, no, no.” The old Taoist priest’s face turned fierce, and he thrust his knife forward, saying, “I asked you to kill the couple. Breaking off the relationship and letting it go are all bullshit. A grown man can do anything, but he can’t be a cuckold!”

The man was dumbfounded, holding the machete in his hand, and was stunned for a long time without saying a word. (End of this chapter)
