I am a fairy in Journey to the West

On the official road outside the city of Pubang, five figures were walking slowly in the sunset.

When the pedestrians along the road saw these five figures, they were startled at first, and then immediately ran away screaming.

It’s not these people’s fault. First of all, the clothes these five people are wearing are very different. The one riding on the horse is wearing a cassock and a five-Buddha crown on his head.

The other four were also wearing monk's robes and looked strange and scary, especially at this afternoon.

Zhu Bajie snorted twice and said unhappily, "The people here are really weird. Why do they run away when they see a monk?"

Sha Monk laughed and said, "Third Brother, they are not afraid of monks, they are afraid of your appearance."

Zhu Bajie said, "You look so good, even the demon Yasha will run away when he sees you."

Sun Wukong turned around and said, "Old Third, let alone Old Fourth, apart from Master, who among us wouldn't be scary if we were released like this?"

Tang Seng laughed while riding on his horse and said, "Wukong, what you said is a bit biased."

Sun Wukong's eyes lit up and he asked, "Oh? What does Master have to say?"

Tang Seng pointed at Little White Dragon and said, "If Wubai didn't have those two dragon horns on his head, he would really be an elegant gentleman."

Sun Wukong's face suddenly drooped, and Zhu Bajie burst out laughing and said to Tang Seng: "Master, you really hurt Monkey King's heart."

Tang Seng smiled and said, "Wukong doesn't look bad, but he is misleading by the monkey hair on his body. Otherwise, he is a real immortal."

Sun Wukong laughed and said, "Master is really good at comforting people."

Little White Dragon said at this time: "I think that Senior Brother's description is the best. The title of the Monkey King is well deserved."

Sun Wukong was overjoyed and patted Xiao Bailong on the shoulder and said, "Second Junior Brother, you still have the best vision."

The five masters and apprentices chatted and laughed along the way. Suddenly, a city appeared faintly in front of them.

Sun Wukong walked forward a few steps, jumped onto a big tree beside the road, made a canopy with his hands and looked out, then returned a moment later and said, "Master, there is a city ahead."

Upon hearing this, Tang Seng asked, "City?"

Zhu Bajie said excitedly: "That's good. We don't have to sleep in the open air anymore."

Hearing what Zhu Bajie said, Tang Seng nodded and said, "Very good, very good, Wukong, it's getting late, let's hurry into the city and stay at the temple in the city."

"Okay." Sun Wukong responded, and then the five masters and apprentices quickened their pace and rushed towards the city of Pubang Prefecture ahead.

However, just as they were about to reach the outside of the city, they heard the sound of a gong from the top of the city wall, and the next moment the city gate was quickly closed.

Seeing this scene, Tang Seng and his five companions were greatly surprised. Little White Dragon looked up at the sky and saw that the sun had not yet set, so he said in surprise: "The sun has not yet set, why is the city gate closed so early?"

Sun Wukong said: "Master, I will go up and ask."

But Tang Seng hurriedly stopped Sun Wukong and said, "Wukong, let me go, you wait behind."

After saying this, without waiting for Sun Wukong's response, Tang Seng rode his horse towards the city gate.

Sun Wukong and the other three watched quietly from behind, keeping an eye on the movements on the city walls.

At this time, Tang Monk arrived at the foot of the city and shouted to the top of the city tower: "I am a monk from the Tang Dynasty in the East. I am going to the West to worship Buddha and seek scriptures under the order of the Tang King. Today I pass by your precious place and want to stay in the city for one night. I hope you can open the city gate and let us in."

The guard on the city wall heard this and said, "What kind of monk is this? He is clearly a monster from the mountains. How can he trick people into letting him into the city?"

Tang Seng smiled and said, "General, you are very careful. The four behind are my disciples, not monsters."

The guard said, "If it's not a monster, why is it so strangely shaped?"

Tang Seng laughed again and said, "General, my four disciples do look strange, but they are all good people with kind hearts."

"Hmph, good guy?" The guard snorted coldly and said, "How many good guys are there among the thieves?"

Tang Seng frowned and said, "General, why do you insult me, a monk?"

The guard sneered, "You thief baldy, I'll scold you, but what do you want to do? Don't say you are going to the West to worship Buddha. Even if you are the real Buddha, you can't enter the city today."

After saying that, the defending general waved his hand, and a row of archers immediately appeared on the top of the city.

The guard drew his sword and said to Tang Seng, "Leave quickly, thief, or I will be mercilessly attacked by arrows."

Upon seeing this, Tang Seng quickly turned his horse around and returned. Sun Wukong and the others all had cold faces and stared at the guard on the top of the city wall.

Tang Seng came back and said, "That guard was so rude. I asked him kindly, but he insulted me."

Sun Wukong rolled up his sleeves and said, "Master, don't be angry. I will break down the city gate with my stick and see if they will welcome us or not."

"No." Tang Seng hurriedly stopped Sun Wukong and said, "Wukong, don't do this. Stay outside the city tonight and find another way to get there tomorrow."

After hearing what Tang Seng said, the disciples had no choice but to give up. So they found a ruined temple outside the city and prepared to stay there tonight.

However, when Tang Seng entered the dilapidated temple, he was shocked, because this was a Buddhist temple of considerable size, and the broken Buddha statues on the ground were covered with spells.

Sun Wukong and his three companions naturally did not recognize the words on it, but Tang Seng confirmed, "This is a secret mantra in Sanskrit."

"Secret mantra?" Sun Wukong and the other three looked at each other. Tang Seng had already started studying the matter.

After an unknown amount of time, Tang Seng raised his head with a serious expression and said, "This is the statue of Medicine Master Liuli Light Tathagata. The words on it mean a curse."

"What?!" Hearing this, Sun Wukong and the other three were shocked, "Cursing Buddha?"

Tang Seng frowned and looked around, only to see broken Buddha and god statues everywhere, all of which were engraved with spells.

Sha Monk asked, "Master, was it done by a demon?"

Tang Seng shook his head and said, "Master, I know why the guard refused to let us enter the city and even spoke rudely to us."

Upon hearing this, the four brothers asked in unison: "Why?"

Tang Seng said: "It's because the people here believe in Brahmanism, which has always been hostile to Buddhism. Naturally, they don't welcome monks like us. I'm afraid this Buddhist temple was destroyed by those people."

As soon as Tang Seng finished speaking, a strong wind suddenly blew in the Buddhist temple, and sand and stones flew everywhere, and smoke and dust filled the sky. The four disciples hurriedly protected Tang Seng in the middle.

Everyone could only hear the howling of the strong wind, which blew up the surrounding ruins. After an unknown amount of time, when the strong wind died down, Sun Wukong and the other three who were on the periphery were suddenly stunned.

"This" The four brothers looked at each other, their eyes full of shock.

When Tang Seng heard the four people's surprised voices, he immediately opened his eyes and asked, "Disciples, what happened?" The four people made way, and Zhu Bajie said to Tang Seng, "Master, you should look at it yourself."

Tang Seng quickly looked around. He didn't know what was going on until he saw it. He was immediately shocked.

After the strong wind blew, the dirt and dust on the ground and the ruins were blown away, revealing the white bones underneath.

There were bones all over the ground, more than a hundred of them, and each of them was wearing a cassock that had not yet completely rotted, and there were piles of rosary beads scattered around them.

"Namo Amitabha." Tang Seng quickly put his hands together and chanted the Buddha's name loudly.

Sun Wukong and his three brothers also put their hands together and chanted Buddhist mantras.

Afterwards, Tang Seng said with a face full of sorrow: "They must have been killed along with this Buddhist temple. How pitiful! Wukong, Wubai, Wuneng, Wujing, follow me and collect and bury the remains of these Taoist friends."

The four disciples responded in unison: "Yes, Master."

Sha Seng and Zhu Bajie dug the pit, Sun Wukong and Xiao Bailong were responsible for cleaning out the bones and moving them into the pit, while Tang Seng chanted spells and sprinkled water on the bones to clean them in order to liberate the souls of the dead.

It took the four masters and apprentices three hours to finally collect and bury more than a hundred skeletons.

Then Tang Seng brought his four disciples to chant the Rebirth Mantra in front of the huge tomb, and this went on for another hour.

As the sky gradually brightened, a faint golden light suddenly appeared on the bodies of Tang Seng and his four companions. The five people looked up and saw the souls of more than a hundred monks suddenly appeared on the grave. They bowed eleven times to Tang Seng and his four companions, and then disappeared into a dark mist.

Tang Seng put his palms together in return, and stopped after he finished reciting the Rebirth Mantra. The golden light on the five people also entered their bodies. This was the golden light of merit.

When Tang Seng stood up, his body suddenly went limp and he fell down. Sun Wukong and the other three hurried forward to support him.

Tang Seng was weak all over, sweating, shaking hands, and dizzy. Little White Dragon asked hurriedly, "Big Brother, what happened to Master?"

Sun Wukong laughed and said, "Master, you have an empty stomach disease."

Little White Dragon was startled when he heard this, and then he suddenly realized, "Master is hungry, Third Junior Brother, quickly bring some hot water for Master to drink."

Zhu Bajie quickly brought over a bowl of hot water, while Xiao Bailong took out a gourd from his sleeve, poured some honey into the bowl, stirred it well, and fed it to Tang Seng.

This honey was wild honey they collected on the road. For this gourd of honey, Xiao Bailong, Zhu Bajie and Sha Seng suffered a lot and were stung all over their heads.

After drinking the honey water, Tang Seng finally felt better, but he was still very hungry.

"Wukong, go and beg for some alms." Tang Seng said to Sun Wukong.

Sun Wukong looked up at the sky and saw that the morning star had passed and the sky was already bright. He smiled and said, "Master, please wait a moment. I will go to beg for alms."

Watching Sun Wukong riding away on his somersault cloud, Zhu Bajie muttered, "It's not even daybreak yet, how can I get a vegetarian meal?"

Sha Monk said, "Hey, Third Brother, what you said is wrong. Farmers get up early and often go out to work in the fields before daybreak. By now, many busy farmers have already prepared breakfast."

"The bearded man is right."

A clear female voice suddenly sounded behind him. Without saying a word, Xiao Bailong took out the Shuhuo Sword and slashed towards the place where the voice came from.

There was a flash of sword light in the dark night, and the next moment, Xiao Bailong's Suhuo Sword was caught by two fingers of a graceful woman in scarlet fairy clothes.

Xiao Bailong's face changed. At this moment, the woman suddenly shook her hand, and the Suhuo sword was thrown back with a "swoosh".

The little white dragon flew up and grabbed the Shuhuo sword, but was unexpectedly carried away by the power of the sword.

"Monster, Master, be careful." Zhu Bajie and Sha Seng shouted, then each took out their weapons and attacked.

Zhu Bajie rushed the fastest, holding a spiked rake and hitting the woman on the head. The woman simply swung the golden halberd in her hand and immediately knocked Zhu Bajie back.

Upon seeing this, Sha Seng immediately used his "sand controlling technique", and yellow sand immediately gushed out of the woman's seven orifices.

But the woman suddenly made a seal with her hands and performed a "body purification technique". In an instant, the seven orifices that had been continuously gushing out yellow sand suddenly spewed out a puff of green smoke, and then no more yellow sand gushed out.

Then the woman knocked Sha Seng's demon-subduing staff away with a halberd, turned around and kicked Sha Seng in the heart. Sha Seng screamed and flew backwards, breaking three trees before falling to the ground and fainting.

Xiaobailong has returned at this moment and attacks together with Zhu Bajie.

The woman was fighting one against two and was not at a disadvantage at all. At this time, a beam of fire suddenly shot out from the Suhuo sword in Xiaobailong's hand and burned the woman.

Unexpectedly, the woman opened her mouth and sucked the flame directly into her mouth.

But because of the firelight, Zhu Bajie saw the woman's face clearly, and immediately shouted: "Why is it you? Stop, stop now."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Bailong withdrew his hand and retreated. Zhu Bajie also withdrew his rake and retreated, saying, "Red Ling Vanguard, how come you don't recognize me, old Zhu? I am the Marshal Tianpeng back then."

Chi Ling said: "I know you are Marshal Tian Peng, if you are not Marshal Tian Peng I would not fight you."

As he spoke, Chi Ling swung out a halberd, and Zhu Bajie hurriedly tried to block it. With a 'clang' sound, the golden halberd hit the spiked rake. Zhu Bajie suddenly felt the strain, but he gritted his teeth and persevered.

Chi Ling kicked Zhu Bajie in the belly again, and Zhu Bajie flew out like a pig.

Upon seeing this, Xiaobailong flew forward and stabbed Chi Ling in the neck with the sword, but the snow-white skin on Chi Ling's neck sank slightly and the sharp tip of the sword stopped there without even piercing Chi Ling's skin.

Then Chi Ling used his halberd to knock the little white dragon away, and then flew in front of Tang Seng and said with a smile: "Elder Tang, I have prepared food in the cave, and I am just waiting for you to come and enjoy it."

Tang Seng calmed down for a moment, then looked at Chi Ling and said, "Are you here to arrest me, too, my Lord?"

Chi Ling smiled and said, "The elder has misunderstood. I just want to invite you to have a meal in the cave."

As he spoke, Chi Ling took out a purple bamboo fish basket and shone it on Tang Seng. A fairy light flashed above the fish basket and Tang Seng was immediately put into the fish basket.

At this moment, Zhu Bajie stood up, holding his stomach, and cursed: "You ungrateful and dishonest snake, quickly release my master, or I will call Lingtai Zhenjun to make sure you die without a burial place."

Chi Ling raised his eyebrows when he heard this and cursed back, "You damned pig, I'll cut off your mouth."

As he said this, he pointed the fish basket at Zhu Bajie again and put Zhu Bajie inside.

Afterwards, a black wind rose up from the red silk and it flew back to the Red Heart Cave Heaven in the Red Immortal Mountain.

Not long after Chi Ling left, Sun Wukong returned from begging for alms and saw a mess when he landed. Little White Dragon and Sha Seng were standing dejectedly beside the luggage.

Seeing this, Sun Wukong immediately understood what had happened. Xiao Bailong and Sha Seng looked up at Sun Wukong and said three words: "Big Brother"

Then Sun Wukong asked, "Master was captured by a monster?"

Xiao Bailong and Sha Seng were stunned for a moment, then nodded. Xiao Bailong added, "That monster seemed to be an acquaintance. Third Junior Brother scolded her a few words, and she got angry and captured Third Junior Brother." (End of this chapter)
