I am a fairy in Journey to the West

Back at Chixin Cave Heaven, General Ma Xiong found Chi Ling and said with a worried look on his face, "Cave Master, I was cursed by that damn Narada Immortal."

"Hmm?" Chi Ling raised his eyebrows and turned around to ask, "What did he curse you for?"

General Ma Xiong said with a sad face: "He cursed that my soul would have no home after death, and would forever wander between heaven and earth, becoming a lonely ghost."

"Oh." Chi Ling crossed her legs on the stone couch and said, "Then it would be fine if you just don't die."

General Ma Xiong's expression froze for a moment, then he suddenly reacted, clapped his hands and said, "Yes, it's OK if I don't die, why didn't I think of that?"

Chi Ling glanced at him and said, "How much honey did you buy this time when you went down the mountain?"

Upon hearing this, General Ma Xiong quickly said, "Cave Master, I originally bought more than 100 kilograms, but after I was caught, all of them were taken back, and I only have a small can left."

Chi Ling said, "I've already told you, if you like to eat honey, why don't you raise bees yourself? There are a lot of bees in our mountains, right?"

General Ma Xiong said, "Yes, there are many, but I can't beat the Wasp King."

"You are useless." Chi Ling waved her hand, "You should go back first. The pilgrims will arrive in two months. Don't cause me any trouble during this time."

General Ma Xiong bowed and said, "Yes, Cave Master, I will take my leave first."

As General Ma Xiong left the cave, Chi Ling immediately jumped off the stone couch and found Lan'er who was reading a book.

"Sister Lan'er, what book are you reading?" Chi Ling came to Lan'er, climbed onto her neck and asked.

Lan'er closed the book, revealing a few large words on the page: The Jade Emperor often talked about the Scripture of Purity and Tranquility.

Chi Ling was a little surprised and said, "Sister was reading Buddhist scriptures a few days ago, why are you reading Taoist scriptures today?"

Lan Er said, "I feel dizzy after reading Buddhist scriptures for too long. Today I will read the Pure and Tranquil Sutra to relieve my headache."

"Do you feel dizzy after reading Buddhist scriptures? That means you don't have any wisdom." Chi Ling said with a smile.

Lan Er rolled her eyes at Chi Ling and asked, "Why did you come to see me?"

Chi Ling said: "Sister Lan'er, I want you to close your eyes and help me kill someone."

"Huh?" Lan'er looked at Chi Ling in surprise and asked, "Who did you kill? Why did you kill with your eyes closed?"

Chi Ling then told Lan'er about the story of the Narada sage. Lan'er was quite surprised after hearing it and said, "Is there such a strange thing?"

Then, Lan Er said to Chi Ling, "Please let me see his head."

Chi Ling said: "You can't watch. If you watch, you won't be able to kill him. How about watching after you kill him?"

"That's fine." Lan'er nodded, then took out a jade belt from her sleeve, covered her eyes with it, and said, "Okay, let him out."

Chi Ling responded, then took out the fish basket and poured out Narada's head from it.

As soon as Narada's head appeared, it leaped more than three feet high, trying to fly out of the Red Heart Cave.

Chi Ling hurriedly summoned the Heavenly King's Golden Halberd and pinned him to the ground, "Sister Lan'er, hurry up and kill him."

Lan'er nodded, then shone her divine consciousness on Narada's head, summoned the Nine Yang True Light Sword, and slashed it down with one strike.

There was only a slight "puff" sound, and Narada's head was instantly split in two by the sword energy.

Chi Ling, who was standing by, saw Naratuo's brain, but there was no blood splattered. Instead, after the Nine Yang True Light Sword flew back to Lan'er's hand, Naratuo's head came together again in the blink of an eye.

"Huh?" Chi Ling was surprised, "Sister Lan'er, have you seen this person before?"

Lan Er frowned and said, "No, why?"

Chi Ling said helplessly: "Since you have never seen him, how come you can't kill him?"

At this time, Narada's head was closed together, and the stone was still stuffed in his mouth. Lan'er tried to chop him with the sword again, but Narada's head quickly recovered after being chopped off.

After a while, Chi Ling could only put Narada's head back into the fish basket, and then let Lan'er take off the blindfold.

"We still can't kill him." Chi Ling said to Lan'er.

Seeing her doubtful expression, Lan Er immediately said, "I swear I have never seen a person named Narada, but I have met so many people, many of whom I don't know their names. Let me see what he looks like?"

"Okay." Chi Ling answered very straightforwardly this time and immediately poured Narada's head out of the fish basket.

After Lan Er looked at it, she immediately said with certainty: "I have definitely never seen this person before."

"That's strange." Chi Ling frowned. How could he not be killed if he had never seen it before? Could it be that this Narada had some other blessing from the gods?

"That's right." Lan Er suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said, "Is this blessed 'seeing' just an ordinary 'seeing'?"

Chi Ling was stunned and asked, "Is there anything unusual that I 'saw'?" At this point, she suddenly reacted, "Sister Lan'er, did you lock onto him with your divine sense just now?"

Lan Er replied: "Of course, if we don't use our divine thoughts to illuminate him, how can we use the magic weapon to kill the enemy?"

"So, even mind lock can be considered as 'seeing'?" Chi Ling said in surprise.

Lan Er nodded and said, "That's probably it."

Then Chi Ling called a few monsters over to try again, and found that as long as they could lock on with their spiritual thoughts, they could not kill Narada even if they couldn't see him with their eyes.

But without the need to use the eyes to see or to lock onto it with the mind, Narada's head would dodge the attack.

At this time, Chi Ling used the Golden Halberd of the King of Heaven to nail Narada's head, but in this way, if someone who "saw him" took action, Narada would still not be killed.

Just when Chi Ling and others were at their wits' end, the boy outside came to report that a headless corpse had come from outside the cave and was trying to break into the cave, but was stopped by them.

Chi Ling immediately knew that it was Narada's body that came looking for him, so he used the fish basket again to collect Narada's head.

Sure enough, as Narada’s head was put into the fish basket, Narada’s body outside the cave fell to the ground again and became motionless.

Chi Ling had no choice but to press Narada's body under a huge rock, and then discuss countermeasures with Lan'er. It was not a solution to go on like this, after all, Narada's head could not always occupy the fish basket.

Seeing Chi Ling's worried look, Lan Er said, "Why don't we ask the True Lord?"

Chi Ling glanced at Lan'er and said with some concern: "What should I do if the True Lord scolds me?" Lan'er was stunned and asked: "Why would the True Lord scold you?"

Chi Ling twisted her fingers and said, "Will the Master think I am useless? I have so many magic weapons, but I can't even deal with a cult demon."

Lan Er laughed and said, "I don't think so. The person who blessed Narada is quite capable. He might be a Buddha or Bodhisattva. It's normal that we can't deal with him."

At this point, Lan Er added: "As the subordinates of the True Lord, it is better for us not to hide this kind of thing from the True Lord."

When Chi Ling heard this, he thought it made sense, so he immediately went to the cave hall where Zhuang Yan's divine power was enshrined, and burned incense and prayed.

As the first wisp of green smoke rose from the sandalwood in the incense burner, auspicious light filled the cave hall and Zhuang Yan's figure appeared above the auspicious light.

Chi Ling bowed quickly and said, "This subordinate pays homage to the True Lord."

Zhuang Yan nodded slightly, and without waiting for Chi Ling to report, he said directly: "Give me the head of Narada."

Chi Ling was slightly surprised, not expecting that Zhuang Yan already knew about this, so she poured Narada's head out of the fish basket.

As soon as Narada's head appeared, a ray of fairy light fell down, covering Narada's head directly, and then flew into Zhuang Yan's hands.

Zhuang Yan said to Chi Ling, "You don't need to worry about this matter anymore. Just wait for the pilgrim."

Chi Ling sang in greeting, "Yes, Master."

After a moment, the auspicious light in the room dissipated, and Chi Ling hurriedly bowed and said, "Farewell, Master."

However, Zhuang Yan took Narada's head and came to an ancient kingdom called "Veda" in the north of Xiniuhezhou.

As soon as he entered this kingdom, Zhuang Yan sensed that there were countless mysterious and ancient auras in this kingdom.

Zhuang Yan traveled around the kingdom and found that the kingdom placed great emphasis on sacrificial rituals and the caste system. They divided all living beings into four classes, from top to bottom: Brahmans, Kshatriyas, Vaishyas, and Shudras. They also respected Brahmanism, and the main god they worshipped was the "Trimurti".

The three gods are Brahma, the God of Creation, Vishnu, the God of Protection, and Shiva, the God of Destruction.

One day, on the outskirts of the royal city of the Vedic Kingdom, Zhuang Yan discovered a huge Bodhi tree, and under the Bodhi tree lay a dirty and incomplete Buddha statue.

Zhuang Yan went forward to take a closer look and found that the Buddha statue was not only incomplete, but also covered with all kinds of dirty and filthy things.

Zhuang Yan looked at it for a long time but couldn't figure out who the statue was until a voice sounded behind him, "This is a statue of Gautama Siddhartha, a shameless traitor and apostate."

As for Siddhartha Gautama, this name is not well known to the public. He is widely known by another name, 'Shakyamuni', which is now the Tathagata Buddha.

Zhuang Yan turned around and saw a man in black clothes and long hair slowly walking up to him from behind. He put his hands together and smiled at Zhuang Yan, saying, "Master Lingtai, Bo Xun greets you."

Zhuang Yan's pupils shrank, and he said, "Mara Poxun? Have you entered the secular world?"

Po Xun smiled and said: "Although my original body is outside the Three Realms, my Dharma has always been within the Three Realms. Within the Three Realms, there is no place without my traces."

Zhuang Yan looked calm and said to Po Xun, "The Rama before was just a trick. Has your mortal body been in the Vedas all along?"

"Yes." Po Xun nodded and said, "As expected of Lingtai Zhenjun, you thought of this so quickly. I can't help it, who made the three-phase gods of Brahmanism so hospitable?"

Zhuang Yan said, "I'm afraid it's more than just hospitality. You are a 'Buddha Demon', but you are hiding in the Brahmanic country, which means you have joined forces with the Three-Faced God."

“Hahahaha.” Boxun laughed loudly. After a moment, he looked at Zhuang Yan and said, “True Lord Lingtai is indeed a talent that the Jade Emperor values. His discerning eye is indeed as sharp as a torch.”

Seeing that Po Xun admitted this, Zhuang Yan said, "So, you two families are joining forces to do something big? Do you want to overthrow the Heavenly Court and dominate the Three Realms?"

Bo Xun waved his hand and said: "The position of the Jade Emperor as the Lord of the Three Realms is not something we can shake, and we don't have such an idea. We only have one goal, which is to 'destroy Buddhism' and replace the position of Buddhism in Xiniu Hezhou."

At this point, Po Xun looked at Zhuang Yan and said, "Master Lingtai, are you willing to listen to my story?"

Zhuang Yan said calmly, "Speak."

Po Xun nodded and began to narrate: "When Sakyamuni was born, he was in a country called Kapilavastu, which was under the Vaishya Kingdom. He was the prince of King Suddhodana of Kapilavastu and belonged to the Kshatriya caste."

"But when he grew up, he vigorously opposed Brahmanism, rebelled against the caste system, realized the 'Dharma' on his own, and formed a 'Sangha' to spread the Dharma."

"From then on, Buddhism began to flourish, and correspondingly, Buddha and demons also appeared."

"Where there is Buddha, there is also devil. The devil is born with Buddha and is naturally the opposite of Buddha. But one day, the devil will replace Buddha."

"Before Sakyamuni attained enlightenment, I tried to stop him countless times, but unfortunately destiny did not end. My countless failures led to the prosperity of him and Buddhism, and they dominated the land of Xiniu Hezhou."

"And I can only hide myself, stay outside the Three Realms, and spy on the Buddhas in the Three Realms."

"Now that the way of heaven has changed and Buddhism has shown signs of decline, replacing Buddha with the devil is no longer an empty talk, but a near future."

"At this moment, what does Lingtai Zhenjun think?"

Zhuang Yan said in surprise: "You've been talking a lot of nonsense. What does this have to do with me?"

Po Xun smiled confidently and said, "Why not? In the future, the devil will replace the Buddha and rule Lingshan. Doesn't Lingtai Zhenjun want a Buddha's great Dao fruit position?"

At this point, Po Xun added: "In recent years, Zhenjun has risen from a mere mountain god to the Great Sima appointed by the Jade Emperor to guard the human world. We have seen it all and admire him very much. If we can get Zhenjun's help, we will surely accomplish great things. When he becomes the Buddha, won't that be a happy thing for everyone?"

Zhuang Yan was a little speechless, and looked at Po Xun and asked, "Is Buddha so great?"

Bo Xun's face froze for a moment, then he looked at Zhuang Yan and asked, "What does Lingtai Zhenjun mean by this?"

Zhuang Yan said, "My meaning is very clear. I don't want the position of Buddha, nor do I look down on the position of Buddha. You are a demon who wants to replace Buddha. It doesn't matter whether you want to replace Buddha or not. It has nothing to do with me."

"This..." Bo Xun's face darkened. In his mind, replacing Buddha with demon was such a difficult, great and sacred cause, but in the eyes of others, it was worthless. He found it difficult to accept.

After adjusting his mood, he said, "Master Lingtai, with your current official rank, I don't know how long it will take for you to become the emperor in the heaven. Why not cooperate with us and easily become a Buddha in the future?"

"Besides, we are not rebelling against Heaven. We just simply want to destroy Buddhism. Lord Lingtai can rest assured to cooperate with us." said Bo Xun.

Zhuang Yan smiled faintly, looked at Po Xun and said, "You can't destroy Buddhism just because you want to. Stop bragging. Let's be frank. What do you want to do by showing up to see me this time?"

Po Xun was stunned for a moment, then he sighed helplessly and said, "Please Lingtai Zhenjun give me Narada's head." (End of this chapter)
