I am a fairy in Journey to the West

Time flies, and a month has passed in the blink of an eye. Zhuang Yan lives in Fangcun Mountain, where he discusses Taoism, plays chess, drinks tea and chats with Patriarch Bodhi every day.

Moreover, whenever Patriarch Bodhi preached to his disciples, he would bring Zhuang Yan with him, saying that he would ask him to correct the omissions in his teachings.

Zhuang Yan understood what Patriarch Bodhi meant. He asked him to correct the omissions, but he did not even practice Patriarch Bodhi's teachings, so how could he correct any omissions? It was nothing more than letting all the disciples get to know Zhuang Yan.

So after finishing his lecture this time, Zhuang Yan came down and said to Patriarch Bodhi: "You don't have to be like this, my friend. Your disciples all go down the mountain after they finish their apprenticeship. You change a group every few years. You can't ask me to show up every time, right?"

After hearing this, Patriarch Bodhi thought for a moment and said, "That makes sense. How about this? You also register as a member of my Three Stars Cave?"

Zhuang Yan was startled for a moment, then reacted and said to Patriarch Bodhi with a smile: "I'm afraid this is your true intention, fellow Taoist?"

"Hahaha." Patriarch Bodhi laughed loudly and said, "What do you think, fellow Taoist?"

Zhuang Yan nodded and agreed without thinking, "Okay, but in what name should I use it?"

Patriarch Bodhi smiled and said, "You don't need to invite me in any name. Just come to my Three Stars Cave and be the chief patriarch."

"Okay." Zhuang Yan nodded and smiled.

So on the next day, Patriarch Bodhi summoned all the disciples in Fangcun Mountain and announced to everyone that he would invite Zhuang Yan to be the 'Master of Dao' of Xieyue Sanxing Cave, with the same status as Patriarch Bodhi.

Of course, Zhuang Yan is just a figurehead and has no master-disciple relationship with his disciples.

Of course, all the disciples came forward to pay their respects, and so from then on, the Xieyue Sanxing Cave had two patriarchs. All new disciples had to first pay their respects to Patriarch Bodhi, and then to Zhuang Yan.

Of course, if Zhuang Yan is not here, then you can just go and pay homage to Zhuang Yan’s tablet.

One day, Patriarch Bodhi was preaching in the hall and Zhuang Yan was listening on the side. Suddenly, a suppressed sobbing sound was heard in the hall.

The sobbing sound immediately disrupted the peace in the hall and disturbed Patriarch Bodhi's preaching. All the disciples frowned and looked over.

It turned out that it was Juezhen, a young disciple who had just entered the sect less than two years ago, who was crying. Seeing the other brothers looking at him, Juezhen quickly stood up and bowed, saying, "I am overwhelmed with grief and have disturbed the ancestor's temple. Please punish me, ancestor."

Patriarch Bodhi waved the whisk in his hand and asked Juezhen, "Why are you sad?"

Juezhen quickly reported: "Master, I learned the method of divination from you. Last night, I dreamed that my parents were calling me from behind, but when I turned around, they were nowhere to be seen. So I felt uneasy after waking up from the dream, so I asked for divination this morning, but the hexagram was very ominous. I was sad and sobbed, disturbing the master's altar."

Upon hearing this, the frowns on the faces of the brothers below immediately relaxed, and a hint of sympathy appeared on their faces.

At this time, the oldest disciple, Yingming, stepped forward and said, "Grandmaster, Junior Brother Juezhen is learning the art of divination. Since the hexagram shows this, it is clear that his parents have indeed encountered disasters recently. I beg the Grandmaster to have mercy and help Junior Brother Juezhen's family resolve this disaster."

Patriarch Bodhi sat on a cushion and glanced out the window when he heard this. He then said, "I already know about this. Your family is in the capital of the Kingdom of Biyan. I will give you half a month. As long as you can take your family out of the city before the eighth day of the fifth month, you can save your family."

After hearing what Patriarch Bodhi said, Juezhen burst into tears and bowed, "Thank you for your kindness, Patriarch. I will leave you for half a month and return to the mountains in half a month."

Patriarch Bodhi was very casual in accepting and teaching disciples. He did not force his disciples to cut off worldly affairs. After learning the Tao, if they wanted to, they could leave the mountain and return home.

But if the disciple’s worldly attachment is too heavy and he cannot cultivate the Tao, he will not force him. He will let him either go down the mountain and go home on his own, or die of old age in the mountains. Everything will be left to fate and nature.

Patriarch Bodhi waved his hand and said, "Go ahead, and be careful on your journey."

Juezhen bid farewell to Patriarch Bodhi and left. Not long after he left, Yingming said, "Patriarch, Fangcun Mountain is thousands of miles away from King Biyan. Junior Brother Juezhen has not learned the art of flight control. How can he get back in half a month?"

Patriarch Bodhi said: "Everything has its own cause and effect. You should return to your seat and listen to my teachings."

Yingming bowed and said, "Yes, Master." Then he sat back down.

At this time, Zhuang Yan slowly stood up and walked out of the hall. However, neither Patriarch Bodhi, who was preaching, nor the disciples who were listening below were disturbed at all, and they didn't even blink.

After leaving the main hall, Zhuang Yan came to his own Taoist residence, walked onto the wooden couch and sat cross-legged. His divine will immediately descended into the "Nisha City".

The city of Nisha is the capital of the Kingdom of Biyan. At this time, the City God of Biyan is waiting quietly in the underworld hall of the City God's Mansion.

A moment later, as a ray of divine light descended, boundless auspiciousness immediately illuminated the entire underworld hall.

The City God of Nisha City raised his head quickly, then quickly stepped forward and bowed, "I am Wuyan, the City God of Piyan State, and I pay my respects to the True Lord of Lingtai."

The so-called 'Capital City God' is only called this way for the City God of a country's capital, which also means that he is the head of all the City Gods of this country.

And this Wu Yan has a very obvious western appearance of Xiniu Hezhou, completely different from the appearance of the people in the eastern part of Xiniu Hezhou.

Zhuang Yan nodded and asked, "What do you want to report?"

Wu Yan bowed quickly and said, "Your Majesty, there may be a great turmoil in Piyan recently. I would like to see you and report this to you."

Zhuang Yan asked, "Can you please report the details?"

Wu Yan immediately reported: "Reporting to the True Lord, a month ago, six Buddha lights descended in the country of Biyan, and then six Brahma lights fell in the country of Biyan. I finally found out in the past few days that the Buddha lights were from Emperor Shi Tian and the Bodhisattvas of Lingshan, and the Brahma lights were from the wild gods and immortals of Brahmanism."

Those "gods" who are not appointed by the Heavenly Court are all called "wild gods" or "hairy gods".

At this point, Wu Yan was afraid that Zhuang Yan didn't understand, so he added: "Buddhism and Brahmanism have always been incompatible. Now that powerful people from both sides have descended in Biyan, I'm afraid there will be a war."

Finally, Wu Yan said, "I reported this matter to the underworld, but the underworld sent a reply letter saying that this is a human matter and should be under the jurisdiction of Lingtai Zhenjun, so they ordered me to report it to Zhenjun."

Zhuang Yan nodded and said, "Okay, I understand."

Wu Yan bowed and then saw the auspicious light in the hall recede, and Zhuang Yan’s spirit also disappeared along with the auspicious light.

After receiving the divine will, Zhuang Yan sat in the room until the sun set in the west and the setting sun shone into the window. Then he walked out of the Taoist residence in the evening breeze and came to the lecture hall where Patriarch Bodhi was.

At this time, all the disciples had left. Zhuang Yan walked straight into the hall and said, "Daoyou, I have to go out of the mountain for a while, and I came to say goodbye."

Patriarch Bodhi smiled and said to Zhuang Yan, "Is this about the matter of the Kingdom of Piyan?"

Zhuang Yan nodded and said, "That's right. As the Great God of Fortune and Destiny of the human world, I guard the human world on behalf of the heavens. I will personally go to the Kingdom of Biyan to inspect it."

"Okay." Patriarch Bodhi nodded and said, "You can go now, fellow Taoist."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhuang Yan's figure disappeared in the hall.

At the same time, in the palace of King Viyan's capital, Nisor City, the 67-year-old King Alev opened his somewhat cloudy eyes.

A young man dressed as an oriental Taoist priest appeared in Alevi's eyes. For Alevi, who was already well-informed, this was not surprising.

Alev stood up with the help of the attendants on both sides, stared at Zhuang Yan and asked, "May I ask where this immortal master came from?"

The attendants on both sides and the guards in the hall were stunned for a moment, but soon they saw Zhuang Yan appear, and the next moment the guards immediately drew their swords and rushed forward.

"Stop." Alewi stopped the guards, then bowed to Zhuang Yan and said, "Look at the Immortal Master's attire. Doesn't he look like someone from our Tianzhu region?"

'Tianzhu Fangyu' means 'Tianzhu cultural circle'. The eastern and southern regions of Xiniuhezhou are similar to the Central Plains of Nanzhanbuzhou, while the western and northern regions are completely different and have a different style.

Zhuang Yan said, "Don't ask so many questions. I came here for my own reasons. It has nothing to do with you."

As soon as Zhuang Yan finished speaking, he walked straight to King Alie's throne, waved his hand, conjured up a sandalwood chair, and sat down.

When the guards below saw this scene, they shouted and rushed up, but Zhuang Yan just glanced at them and the guards flew out of the hall.

Seeing this, Alevi immediately turned his head to look at Zhuang Yan. Zhuang Yan was calm and said to Alevi with a smile: "Sit down. From today for a month, you have to get used to having more people around you." Alevi sat down slowly and said: "Are you a Taoist priest from the East?"

"Have you seen a Taoist priest?" Zhuang Yan asked.

Alevi nodded and said, "To my north is the power of the Vedic Kingdom, and to my south is the power of the Indian Kingdom. My country of Vijaya is a buffer zone between the two major powers. Whether it is the 'Buddha' of Buddhism or the 'Brahma' of Brahmanism, the gods and monks of the two families and their followers often fight endlessly in my country. Although I do not interfere with the two, I cannot prevent my country and people from splitting up."

Zhuang Yan asked: "What is the current situation in your country?"

Alevi said: "The people in the north are Brahmanists, and the people in the south are Buddhists. The north and south are enemies, and there are constant fights. After I die, the country will surely be divided into north and south, and it will fall apart, and even rivers of blood will flow."

At this point, Alevi said self-deprecatingly: "Even the capital city of Nisa is divided into two cities, the southern city is for Buddhists, and the northern city is for Brahmans."

Zhuang Yan said: "I don't think I can wait until you die."

Alev's pupils shrank, and just as he was about to ask the reason, he suddenly felt weak and then coughed violently a few times.

In Zhuang Yan's eyes, Alevi's aura of being a human king disappeared in a very short time.

At the same time, beside an altar in the southern suburbs of Nisa City, Indra made a mantra seal with his hands and said, "The luck of the King of the Alevi people has been broken."

Miji Jin Gang beside him asked in surprise: "So fast?"

Emperor Shitian showed a trace of doubt on his face and said, "I am also surprised. It seems that breaking the luck of the Alevite King was too smooth this time."

In the northern suburbs of Nisha City, there is also a bloody stone altar. In front of the altar, the Brahman Atli Immortal made a seal with his hands and said somewhat unexpectedly: "Okay, let Du Luo take action now."

A female fairy behind him asked in surprise: "So fast?"

Immortal Atri was also puzzled and said, "I am also confused. Let's not worry about it for now. The luck of the human king has been broken. Let's kill Alewi first."

Back to the palace, not long after, a scream was suddenly heard outside the hall, and then more than a dozen bloody heads flew into the hall. Alev, who was coughing, was shocked. When he looked closely, he found that those heads were actually the guards who had just been sent out of the hall by Zhuang Yan.

Immediately afterwards, a gust of evil wind blew into the hall, and then a monster with a snake's head and a human body rushed into the hall with black wind. It was seen holding a knife in its left hand and a sword in its right hand, and its face was extremely ferocious and terrifying, scaring the servants and palace maids in the hall to scream and run for their lives.

"Du Luo!" Alev recognized the monster.

The snake demon Du Luo looked at Alewi and said, "I didn't expect you to recognize me."

Alev said, "Thirty years ago, it was you who brought the wrath and punishment of Lord Shiva to my country. How could I forget it?"

Du Luo grinned and said, "This time I will bring death to you!"

As soon as Du Luo finished speaking, a gust of black wind suddenly blew in from outside the hall. Du Luo quickly dodged it and then looked to the front left.

The black wind dissipated, and a ten-foot-tall stone man appeared in the hall. The stone monster looked at Alev, then looked at Du Luo standing beside him.

Then the Stone Monster and Du Luo asked each other at the same time: "Who are you?"

But the stone monster soon reacted and said, "My father."

Du Luo was stunned for a moment, then said: "Who I am has nothing to do with you, a lowly spirit."

After saying that, the two monsters no longer paid attention to each other, but rushed towards Alev at the same time.

The two monsters released all their powers, and the powerful force turned into a strong wind that hit their faces. The two monsters rushed in front of Alevi at the same time, and seemed to have discovered that the other party had the same target as them. A hint of astonishment appeared in their eyes again.

Alev had closed his eyes and waited for death, but when it didn't come, he had to open his eyes, and then he saw the two monsters flying backwards at the same time.

Alev was stunned at first, then quickly turned his gaze to Zhuang Yan who was sitting nearby.

Zhuang Yan stood up, raised his hand and gently pressed down on Du Luo and the stone monster. There were two loud bangs, and the stone monster and Du Luo groaned, and were directly suppressed to the ground by the tremendous force.

Du Luo spat out a mouthful of blood and said to Zhuang Yan in horror, "Who are you?"

The stone monster also exclaimed: "Who are you, Taoist friend?"

Zhuang Yan sneered and said, "How dare you act so recklessly, using spells to destroy the Human King's luck and sending monsters to attack and kill the Human King. You are so bold."

The Stone Monster and Du Luo were shocked. The Stone Monster asked hurriedly, "Who are you?"

Zhuang Yan said, "I am a righteous passerby." He then said, "If you violate the law, you should be executed."

As soon as the decree was issued, two rays of divine light fell, directly killing the stone monster and Du Luo on the spot, and their souls returned to the underworld.

The stone monster broke into a pile of stones, and Du Luo was beaten back to his original form, turning into a giant black python that was cut in half. Blood instantly flooded the floor of the hall, and a strong fishy smell emerged.

Zhuang Yan looked at Alewi and said, "We can't stay here any longer. Wait for the servants and maids to clean up. You can go to the harem first."

Alewi was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said to Zhuang Yan: "My Lord, I cannot even go to the harem."

Zhuang Yan was surprised and asked, "Why?"

Alev said: "My harem is also divided into two factions, one believes in Brahma, the other believes in Buddhism."

Zhuang Yan was greatly shocked and asked, "Your children will not also split into two factions, right?"

Alev asked in surprise: "How did the Immortal know that?"

Zhuang Yan: “.”

Looking at the speechless Zhuang Yan, Alewi asked, "Is the Immortal here to protect me?"

Zhuang Yan glanced at him, then shook his head and said, "No, I'm just here to maintain order and make those people behave themselves."

After that, Zhuang Yan stood up and said to Alewi, "Then let's just go to a side hall for a while. It stinks here."

This time, Alev didn't say anything. He stood up and followed Zhuang Yan, walking towards the side hall with his feet full of smelly blood.

In the southern and northern suburbs of Nisa City, the altars of the Buddhists and the Brahmans exploded at the same time, and Indra and Atri were dazed by the explosion.

But soon, a divine voice rang in their ears: "How dare you act so recklessly, using spells to destroy the destiny of the Human King, and sending monsters to attack and kill the Human King. You are so audacious!"

Emperor Shitian's hands trembled, he took a step back, grinned and stuck out his tongue in surprise, and said, "Oh no, it's Lingtai Zhenjun."

The Bodhisattvas behind him were also shocked. The Ghost Mother Goddess said, "Spiritual Master Lingtai discovered it so quickly. What should we do now?"

Miji Vajra said: "Let's go first. It seems that we are still too anxious to directly interfere in the affairs of the human world. Let's go back and make a long-term plan."

"Okay, let's go!" Indra nodded, then made a quick decision and left the place on a auspicious cloud with several heavenly Bodhisattvas.

On the Brahman side, Atri and others also reacted quickly. Although they didn't know that the man was Zhuang Yan, they knew that it must be someone from the Heavenly Court who intervened.

In view of the order of the Three Gods, Ateli and others naturally did not dare to challenge the gods in heaven, and immediately took down the altar and retreated.

As for the death of Stone Monster and Du Luo, neither side took it to heart, they were just small chess pieces, no need to worry about them. (End of this chapter)
