I am a fairy in Journey to the West

Chapter 378 Water Transport

After returning from the lower world, the Dragon King Sagara told everyone what the Rain Master God had said. Indra could only sigh and said, "The punishment from heaven is very severe and cannot be violated."

But after a moment, Emperor Shitian said again: "It doesn't matter. The punishment is for the entire Nisha City. It depends on who can bear it between King Tianqi and King Jinlun."

The Devil Mother Goddess raised her own question, "Can't we secretly lend a helping hand to King Jinlun?"

Emperor Shitian looked at the Devil Mother Goddess, "What do you mean?"

The demon mother goddess smiled and said, "We use our magic power to transport water from other places."

Everyone was silent for a moment after hearing this, as if they were thinking about something. After an unknown amount of time, Miji Vajra spoke up, "I think what Ksitigarbha Goddess said makes sense. We can bring water from other places to help alleviate the drought in the Kingdom of the Golden Wheel and irrigate the land."

General Sanzhi and a group of gods also thought it was feasible, and then everyone turned their eyes to Indra.

Emperor Shitian pinched his chin and pretended to be in deep thought. After a moment, he said, "This can be done, but what can we use to hold the water?"

Miji Vajra said at this time: "Filling water is easy."

Everyone turned their heads to look, and saw Miji Vajra taking out a Qingyang gourd from his sleeve and said, "This gourd can hold a river of water."

Indra nodded slightly and said, "Then let you, Vajrapani, do this."

"Okay." Vajra nodded, then stood up, bowed and left.

Miji Vajra left the shrine and flew all the way to the Shanyuan River a thousand miles away. Looking at the surging river, he immediately took out the Qingyang Gourd.

Then Miji Vajra pointed the Qingyang Gourd towards Shanyuanjiang and said softly, "Collect."

In an instant, the water of Shanyuan River rose into the air and turned into a column of water and flew into the Qingyang gourd.

At the same time, the water volume of the entire Shanyuan River was rapidly decreasing, and soon the water level dropped by one third.

Seeing this, Miji Vajra immediately took away the Qingyang Gourd. This one-third of the river water should be enough for the people under King Jinlun to survive the drought. They couldn't really drain the water of Shanyuan River, as that would be a great sin.

However, within the Shanyuan River, the water level dropped sharply because Miji Vajra took away a large amount of river water, and the living creatures became restless.

Ao Zun, the Dragon King of Shanyuan River, was horrified when he noticed this unusual change and hurried out of his palace to check along the river.

When he arrived at the location of Vajra Miji, he found that he had put away the gourd and was about to leave.

Ao Zun immediately flew forward and shouted to Miji Vajra, "Stop."

Miji Vajra, who was about to fly away on a cloud, turned around and looked at Ao Zun. When Ao Zun saw Miji Vajra's appearance, he was shocked and said, "I am Ao Zun, the Dragon King of Shanyuan River. Who is the Buddhist master?"

Miji Vajra put his hands together, bowed to Ao Zun and said, "I am the seventh Miji Vajra of the Buddhist sect. I am honored to meet you, Lord God."

Ao Zun's face became serious when he heard this, and he asked, "May I ask, Your Excellency, the water level of Shanyuan River dropped drastically just now. Your Excellency was walking by the river just now, do you know the reason?"

Upon hearing this, Miji Vajra said, "Let the gods know that the city of Nisa in the Kingdom of Biyan is suffering from a severe drought, and the people have no water to use. To avoid disaster, I have come to the Shanyuan River to fetch water to help them."

Ao Zun frowned slightly when he heard this and said, "Your Excellency, the Rain Tribe has issued an imperial edict not long ago, saying that Nisha City is being punished by heaven. It is wrong for you to do this."

Miji Vajra said: "Thank you for your reminder, Lord God, but how can I stand by and watch when lives are in trouble? Lord God, please allow me to go first. If there is any blame afterwards, I will bear it all."

Ao Zun immediately took out a piece of white paper and said, "Then please come over and sign your name, Your Excellency."

Upon seeing this, Miji Vajra stepped on the auspicious light and flew away, "After saving the people of Nisha City, I will come to sign the agreement myself."

Ao Zun looked at the departing Miji Vajra and hurriedly wanted to chase him, but because he was extremely slow on land, he lost the trail of Miji Vajra after chasing for a while and had to return to the Water Palace.

At this time, Prime Minister Turtle of the Water Palace came over and asked Ao Zun, "Dragon King, have you found out the reason for the drop in water level?"

Ao Zun said, "It was Miji Vajra, one of the twenty deities of Buddhism, who collected some water in a magic gourd."

Upon hearing this, Prime Minister Turtle's face changed and he said, "This is not good. The water of Shanyuan River changes with the rain, and it has its own destiny. Now that a part of it has been taken away, there must be a section of creatures along the river that have lost this part. If a disaster occurs, the blame will be on you, Dragon King."

Ao Zun stood up immediately after hearing this and said, "You are right. I can't take the blame for them."

Having said that, Ao Zun immediately came to the 'Great Siming Hall' specially set up in the Water Palace.

Since Zhuang Yan was conferred the title of "Great God of Fortune and Blessing in the Human World", all levels of shrines in the human world have set up the "Great God of Fortune and Blessing in the Human World" to facilitate reporting at any time.

After Ao Zun arrived at the Great Siming Palace, he immediately stepped forward to write a memorial, and then went forward to burn incense.

Not long after, Tiger Vanguard hurriedly rushed to Guanglu Mountain. Seeing auspicious aura on the mountain ahead, he quickly pressed down the clouds and landed.

"Master." Tiger Vanguard stepped forward and bowed to Zhuang Yan, saying, "I am here on orders. Please give me your instructions, Master."

Zhuang Yan was inspecting the entire Guanglu Mountain Range accompanied by the Guanglu Mountain God. When he saw Tiger Vanguard coming, he immediately smiled and said, "Stand up."

"Thank you, Master Zhenjun." Tiger Vanguard bowed and stood up, then saw Zhuang Yan handing him a memorial.

"This is a memorial from Ao Zun, the Dragon King of Shanyuan River. Go and handle this matter." Zhuang Yan said.

Tiger Vanguard took the memorial and took a closer look at it, then asked, "True Lord, did Miji Vajra violate the Heavenly Law by doing this?"

Zhuang Yan smiled and said, "They are trying to exploit loopholes in the Heavenly Law, but since Heavenly Punishment is called Heavenly Punishment, we must not let them exploit loopholes like this."

Tiger Vanguard immediately understood and said to Zhuang Yan on the spot: "Don't worry, Master. I know what to do." After that, Tiger Vanguard bid farewell to Zhuang Yan, turned around and flew up on a cloud. Soon he arrived at the mountains and forests outside the southern suburbs of Nisuo City.

He first took off his immortal official robes, put on a set of coarse cloth clothes, restrained his aura, and turned into an honest and kind farmer, and then walked out of the forest.

At this time, in the farmlands outside the southern suburbs, the people had received an imperial decree from King Jinlun, saying that the Buddhist Bodhisattva had appeared and sent down rain, and asked them to go to the southern moat to prepare to divert water.

As a result, countless people flocked to the south moat, and every household prepared water-drawing equipment to draw water.

At this time, Tiger Vanguard squeezed in. He looked left and right along the dry moat. After an unknown amount of time, a ray of Buddha's light suddenly descended from the sky, and the next moment, Vajra Miji appeared from the Buddha's light.

Seeing the Bodhisattva appear, the people along the river immediately knelt down and worshiped Vajra.

Even King Jinlun, civil and military ministers, generals and soldiers knelt down, except for one person who did not kneel, and that was naturally Tiger Vanguard.

Tiger Vanguard looked straight at Miji Vajra, and when he saw him take out the Qingyang Gourd, he flew up without saying a word and arrived in front of Miji Vajra in the blink of an eye.

Miji King Kong was shocked and hurriedly wanted to put away the Qingyang Gourd. Tiger Vanguard raised his foot and kicked Miji King Kong in the face. Miji King Kong groaned and flew backwards hundreds of feet.

At the moment when Miji King Kong flew backwards, Tiger Vanguard stretched out his hand to grab the Qingyang Gourd, but Miji King Kong was too vigilant and held the Qingyang Gourd tightly. Tiger Vanguard failed to grab the gourd and quickly used the "Shocking Roar".

In an instant, the tiger behind Tiger Vanguard let out a terrifying roar, shocking his soul. Miji Vajra's soul stagnated, the Buddha's light on his body dissipated, and the whole person fell directly from the sky.

Tiger Vanguard took the opportunity to move forward and grabbed the Qingyang Gourd in his hand.

But he didn't expect that he would suddenly bump into a soft and fragrant embrace. Tiger Vanguard trembled all over, then raised his head with a start, only to find that he had actually bumped into the arms of a beautiful and gentle woman.

The woman smiled like a loving mother, stretched out her arms and held Tiger Vanguard in her arms, and said as if singing a lullaby: "Child, let mother hold you."

Tiger Vanguard's spirit suddenly weakened, his pupils dilated, his face dull, and he leaned in the woman's arms like a baby.

This woman was none other than the Ksitigarbha Goddess. After she used her magical powers to confuse Tiger Pioneer, the Sāgara Dragon King quickly stepped forward and snatched the Qingyang Gourd from Tiger Pioneer.

It would have been fine if he hadn't snatched the gourd, but as he tried to snatch the gourd, Tiger Vanguard suddenly woke up for some reason, his face regained its spirit, and he hit the Demon Goddess' chest with his head.

The Demon Mother Goddess screamed, let go of Tiger Vanguard and flew backwards. She was caught by General Sanzhi who came later. Her face was pale, and she pressed her hands on her chest and rubbed it gently, grimacing in pain.

Tiger Vanguard looked at the Dragon King Sāgar who was trying to snatch the Qingyang Gourd from him, and directly used the "Scare the Group of Spirits" again.

The Tiger Vanguard's body was covered with a flash of divine light, and his mighty aura overwhelmed all directions, shocking all spirits. The whole body of the Sāgara Dragon King froze, and then his eyes widened, and he fell straight down.

But whether it was Vajra or Sāgaravartin, after falling, they were caught by a ray of Buddha's light.

After a moment, Indra also showed up, and it was he who caught Vajra Mahakala and Sāgaragarbha.

"Amitabha." Emperor Shitian put his hands together, then looked at Hu Xianfeng and said, "May I ask who you are, fellow Taoist? Why do you want to make things difficult for my Buddhist sect?"

Tiger Vanguard said: "Don't ask, I came here only for the half river water in this gourd. The drought in Nisuo City is a punishment from heaven. Why do you want to go against heaven's will?"

Hearing this, Indra and others' faces changed. They originally thought that Tiger Vanguard was from the Brahmanism, but from the tone of his voice, he seemed more like someone from the Heavenly Court?

Thinking of this, Emperor Shitian's tone softened a lot, and he asked again: "May I ask which god in heaven you are, fellow Taoist?"

Tiger Vanguard said, "I told you not to ask too many questions. If you ask so clearly, won't it be awkward when we meet in the future?"

As he spoke, Tiger Vanguard glanced at the Demon Goddess and saw that her chest had bulged a little more. It seemed that she was hit hard by him. She deserved it. It was her fault for hugging him indiscriminately. What would happen if his wife Lan'er saw this?
"No." Emperor Shitian said: "Since you are the Lord of Heaven, you should ask clearly."

A trace of vigilance flashed across Tiger Vanguard's eyes, "Could it be that he wants to take the opportunity to take revenge in the future and secretly kill me?"

"Uh" Indra was stunned.

Tiger Vanguard raised his hand and said, "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. I'll take the Qingyang Gourd first and return it to you after the heavenly punishment of Nisuo City is lifted. I also advise you not to be clever and always try to take advantage of the loopholes in the heavenly law. That's all I have to say. Goodbye."

After saying that, Tiger Vanguard put the Qingyang Gourd into his sleeve, clasped his fists in salute, and turned to leave.

Upon seeing this, Emperor Shitian hurriedly shouted, "Wait a minute, fellow Taoist." As he spoke, he formed a magic seal with his hands and stretched out his right hand to press towards Tiger Vanguard's head.

The next moment, a huge golden Buddha's hand appeared above the sky. It came down with a bang, breaking through the sky and pressing down directly towards Tiger Vanguard.

Tiger Vanguard's body sank with a loud bang, and the cloud light under his feet also dissipated under this terrifying force.

But Tiger Vanguard was not afraid. He took out the Tiannie Sword and chopped it up. A flash of green and red sword light appeared in the sky, and then the golden Buddha's hand was split into two halves and exploded with a loud bang.

"Ouch!" Indra screamed. At the moment when the Buddha's hand exploded, a cloud of blood mist burst out from his right hand. Then his entire right palm split vertically in the middle. For a moment, blood was dripping, flesh and blood turned inside out, and white bones were exposed.

Tiger Vanguard turned around and smiled, then put away the Tian Nie Sword and flew away.

Emperor Shitian grimaced in pain, sweating profusely, and said to the people around him while taking a deep breath, "Tian Nie Dao, that fellow is the Great Divine Tiger of Lingtai Mountain."

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and they immediately realized that this must have been instructed by Zhuang Yan. They didn't expect that Lingtai Zhenjun would learn about their plan and respond so quickly.

"Let's go back first and think about it later." Emperor Shitian said with pain.

So the heavenly kings who were originally going to show off their power by sending down water to the believers retreated in disgrace, and even showed their faces in front of the believers, which was a great shame. (End of this chapter)
