I am a fairy in Journey to the West

After everyone was seated, the True Immortal Fire Spirit immediately ordered people to serve all kinds of fine wines, precious liquors, celestial delicacies, exotic fruits and cakes. There was a dazzling array of delicacies and the air was filled with fragrance.

At this time, Dong Wanggong said, "My fellow immortals, today is the day when the Jade Emperor decreed that Buzhou Mountain be the Palace of the True Lord of the Spiritual Platform. Please sit still for a while and wait until the Jade Emperor's decree is read out before you enjoy the drinks and entertainment, okay?"

Upon hearing this, all the immortals and gods bowed and said, "Good."

Afterwards, Emperor Wenchang slowly stood up, asked for the Jade Emperor's golden decree, and sang loudly: "Now the Jade Emperor, the High God of the Mysterious Sky, has issued an order, and the Great God of Fortune and Destiny on earth, Lingtai Xianmiao Yuji Zhenjun Zhuang Yan, is listening to the order."

Zhuang Yan immediately stood up and stepped forward, bowing and saying, "Your Highness Zhuang Yan will obey your order."

Then Emperor Wenchang began to read the imperial decree. The first part was full of words praising Zhuang Yan's achievements over the years, and the latter part was the main content: "Now, in response to the request of True Lord Erlang Xiansheng and other gods, and the merit of True Lord Lingtai in reopening Mount Buzhou, I specially grant you Mount Buzhou. You can open a government on Mount Buzhou to govern affairs. In addition, your title of 'Great Simian of Fortune and Destiny in the Human World' is changed to 'Great Simian of Life in Overall Control of the Human World'. You have the power to confer titles and deprive the official rank of the human world, and grant the power to fight on behalf of the heaven. Your title and rank remain the same. The Jade Emperor of the Mysterious Sky High shall act as the law."

This is why all the Taoists, Buddhists and Xuanjiao came to congratulate in person this time. Although Zhuang Yan is still a "fourth-rank immortal official" in the Heavenly Court, his authority is already "the great god of destiny in the human world", and he has the power to confer titles or revoke the official rank of a god in the human world.

In other words, from now on, Zhuang Yan can confer titles on all the righteous gods in the world, and if a righteous god is guilty, he can also deprive him of his priesthood and official rank.

Of course, there is also the power to fight on behalf of Heaven. No matter whether you are a Taoist, Buddhist or Xuanjiao, if you commit a crime, Zhuang Yan can fight on behalf of Heaven.

This position of power is already above the Five Mountains, and all parties cannot afford to be careless about it, especially when Zhuang Yan's own power is so strong.

After reading the imperial edict, Emperor Wenchang looked at Zhuang Yan and said with a smile: "Lord Lingtai, please accept the edict."

Zhuang Yan bowed three times, then straightened his appearance, stepped forward, stretched out his hands and took the imperial edict from Emperor Wenchang.

Then Zhuang Yan held up the imperial edict with both hands, bowed three times toward the sky, and expressed his gratitude to the Jade Emperor.

The whole process of receiving the imperial decree and expressing gratitude was carried out very quickly, taking only about a quarter of an hour.

After the ceremony, Emperor Wenchang and Zhuang Yan returned to their seats, and then the immortal banquet officially began.

The Fire Spirit Immortal immediately played the music and dance of fairies. As the fairy music and string instruments floated in the air, teams of graceful fairies danced lightly in the dance floor. The fairy banquet officially began.

While there was singing and dancing and everyone was having fun on Mount Buzhou, in the Mahabrahma Palace of the Vedic Kingdom in the Xiniuhezhou, the Three Gods and the Buddha and the demon Mara were looking at each other in bewilderment.

They could naturally sense the grand spectacle on Mount Buzhou, and at the moment they were all hesitating whether they should go.

Brahma said bluntly: "It is reasonable that we are all in the same world of the three realms, so we should go and congratulate them."

Shiva said, "But I'm afraid it will be difficult to walk after I go there."

Vishnu was silent, and the Buddha-demon Poxun said, "Why don't we take this opportunity to attack Lingshan and destroy the Buddhist lair in one fell swoop?"

Upon hearing this, Vishnu, who was originally in deep thought, immediately lost his mind and said quickly, "No."

"Why?" asked the Buddha-demon Poxun.

Vishnu said: "If we really do this, we will not only face the wrath of Buddhism, but also the wrath of Lingtai Zhenjun."

This is the truth. The entire Buddhist community came to Mount Buzhou to congratulate me on the opening of my palace, but you took the opportunity to launch a sneak attack on the Buddhist community's hometown. That is showing no respect to me, Zhuang Yan.

Anyone who is not a fool knows that this kind of thing cannot be done.

Brahma looked at Po Xun, then said with a smile: "We were discussing whether or not to go and congratulate Lingtai Zhenjun, but why did you talk about attacking the Buddhist sect? That's getting off topic."

Bo Xun sighed. It seemed that the Three Gods were not easy to provoke. It made sense. They were just hostile to Buddhism, not stupid.

"In that case, I will take my leave first." Po Xun stood up and bid farewell to the Three-Aspected God.

After Paxun left the Brahma world, Shiva said, "Paxun is really insidious. If we listen to what he just said, our Brahmanism will suffer a great disaster."

"Yes." Vishnu said, "Now we are hostile to Buddhism, so he joins hands with us. When we destroy Buddhism in the future, this person will definitely be the biggest enemy of our religion."

Brahma thought for a moment and said, "We should be more cautious against this person."

Vishnu and Shiva both nodded, and then Shiva asked, "What about Mount Buzhou? Should we go and congratulate them?"

The three were still hesitant. At this time, Vishnu suddenly asked Brahma, "Venerable Brahma, I heard that Saraswati once presented a piece of heavenly clothing that she made for you with her own hands to Lingtai Zhenjun?"

When Brahma heard this, his face turned green, and then he flatly denied it: "There is no such thing."

Vishnu smiled and said, "Whether this happened or not, your wife has visited Lingtai Zhenjun before. In this case, the three of us don't have to go to Buzhou Mountain in person. Let your wife go."

Shiva asked, "Wouldn't this be a bad idea? After all, would Lingtai Zhenjun feel offended if I sent a woman to congratulate him?"

"No." Vishnu shook his head and said, "I have already checked in advance. They are different from my Brahmanism. They do not regard wives as subordinates."

Hearing this, Shiva nodded and said, "Then I will let Parvati go."

Vishnu said, “Then I will let Lakshmi go.”

Brahma sighed and said, "Then I will let Saraswati go."

After discussing it, Brahma returned to his ashram and went to Saraswati’s palace.

Ever since the incident with Atri, Saraswati and Brahma have been at odds with each other for a long time, especially when Saraswati went to see Zhuang Yan privately and wanted to give the Miaojie celestial robe to Zhuang Yan, which further angered Brahma.

So Brahma had a quarrel with Saraswati and imprisoned her in the palace for reflection.

Seeing Brahma appear in front of her, Saraswati turned around. Brahma looked at Saraswati's back and said, "Go and get ready. Later, you will go to Buzhou Mountain with Parvati and Lakshmi to congratulate Lingtai Zhenjun on the opening of his palace."

Saraswati, who was already familiar with the laws of heaven, turned around when she heard this. Although her face was still cold, she asked, "Why don't you go yourself?"

Brahma said, "You are my wife, so I let you go on my behalf."

Saraswati sneered, "You are afraid that if you go there, you won't be able to come back, right?"

Brahma looked a little embarrassed and scolded: "Please be more respectful. I created all things and I am your master!"

When Saraswati saw Brahma getting angry, she was suddenly filled with fear. She did not dare to talk back to Brahma for a moment, and could only angrily say, "Go if you want!"

Seeing Saraswati surrender, Brahma softened his tone and said, "Is the celestial robe ready? Can you give it to me?" "No," Saraswati said, "I'll keep it for myself."

Upon seeing this, Brahma said nothing, but raised his hand. A ray of fairy light fell on Saraswati. After a moment, the wonderful celestial robe flew out from Saraswati and fell into Brahma's hands.

Brahma casually put on the miraculous robe, then looked at Saraswati and said, "You are mine, and everything about you is mine. I have asked someone to prepare the gift, which will be sent to you later. The sooner you go, the sooner you will return."

After saying this, Brahma walked straight onto the auspicious cloud and turned away.

Saraswati looked at the direction where Brahma left and could only curse "old thief" in her heart, then went back to change her clothes.

Since you are going to congratulate someone, you must wear the most gorgeous clothes to show your importance.

After changing clothes, Saraswati took two maids and went to the Brahma Palace to meet Parvati and Lakshmi. Then the three of them rode in a chariot out of the Brahma world and went straight to Mount Buzhou.

When the three arrived at Mount Buzhou, it was already the evening of the next day. Although the fairy banquet at Mount Buzhou had not yet ended, most of the important figures had already returned.

For example, the Buddhas of Buddhism, the emperors of Heaven, the Five Great Emperors, and all the mighty and virtuous people of Taoism have bid farewell and left, either returning to heaven or returning to the Taoist temples. Even the Old Man Hunyuan and Taoist Master Tongtian of Xuanjiao are gone.

But there were also many people who stayed, including the Bodhisattvas of Buddhism, the immortals of Taoism, the gods in heaven, the children of the Five Great Emperors, and the dragon sons and daughters of the four seas.

Of course, those who had a good relationship with Zhuang Yan also stayed, such as Hu Xianfeng's family. They would definitely be the last to leave.

So when Saraswati and the other two arrived, although the Buzhou Mountain Fairy Banquet was still going on, it was no longer as grand and lively as before.

When Zhuang Yan heard the report that the wife of the Brahman Tripitaka God came to congratulate him, he was also a little surprised.

But despite being surprised, Zhuang Yan still asked Wangshu to go and greet him in person.

As Parvati, Lakshmi and Saraswati arrived on the stage, all the gods and fairies on the stage fell silent and stared at the three women quietly.

The three girls had never seen such a scene in the Great Brahma Realm. On the left were dozens of Bodhisattvas and local gods, and on the right were a group of great gods, immortals, and Taoist immortals. Above them sat the True Lords and Venerable Gods.

With so many eyes looking at them at the same time, even though the three women had the power of Taiyi Golden Immortals, they still couldn't handle it.

But it was Saraswati who reacted the fastest. She took a step forward, took the gift list, bowed to Zhuang Yan and said, "I am Saraswati, and I am here by the order of Brahma to congratulate the opening of Lingtai Zhenjun's palace."

As Saraswati spoke first, Parvati and Lakshmi also hurried forward, took out the gift lists and congratulated her.

Zhuang Yan stood up and walked down. He came to the three women, took the gift list, handed it to Wangshu who was standing beside him, then bowed and said with a smile, "Thank you three Taoist friends. You have come from afar and have worked hard. Please take a seat."

The three women thanked him, and then, led by the fairy servants, took their seats on the stage. The servants quickly served them fine wines, delicacies, fairy fruits and delicious food.

But just as the three women sat down, the Bodhisattva Mahasthamaprapta asked, "Why did the Brahmans only allow the three wives to come? Why didn't your husbands come?"

The Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha said, "You are not afraid to come, are you?"

Saraswati immediately said, "That is not the case. Our husband is in charge of important religious affairs, so it is inconvenient for him to go out. He specially sent the three of us to congratulate him."

At this point, Saraswati and the other two stood up and bowed to Zhuang Yan, saying, "Please don't mind, Master Lingtai."

Zhuang Yan waved his hand and smiled, "No problem, no problem. I am extremely grateful that you have come to congratulate me. I would not think too much of it. All of you are guests. Please take a seat, my three Taoist friends."

The three girls thanked them and then sat down again.

At this time, Nezha, who was sitting next to Erlang Shen, asked, "I heard that there is a monkey who uses a stick in your Brahmanism. He just killed the Buddhist Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara a few days ago. He defeated the 18 Arhats and hundreds of Vajra by himself. Is this true?"

Parvati looked at Nezha and saw a handsome young boy. She couldn't help but smile and said, "Yes, his name is Hanuman, the monkey god of my Brahmanism."

"Okay, okay." Nezha said, "We also have a Monkey King named Great Sage Equaling Heaven. Let's have them compete when we have a chance to see who is stronger, the Monkey King or the Monkey God."

Parvati and the other two didn't know who the Monkey King was, let alone who the Monkey King was, so they couldn't respond and could only smile and nod.

"How can a monkey in a human costume compare to the Monkey King?" Bodhisattva Lingji said with a smile.

Although Parvati did not understand these four words, she knew that they were not good words, so she looked at the Buddhist Bodhisattvas coldly.

Seeing that the two sides were getting angry, Zhuang Yan quickly raised his cup and said, "Come, I'll toast to you all. Thank you for coming all the way here. I'm very grateful."

Seeing Zhuang Yan toasting, everyone no longer cared about what was happening in front of them and quickly raised their glasses in response.

After drinking a glass of wine, Zhuang Yan immediately said to the Fire Spirit Immortal: "Please invite all the fairies to come on stage and sing and dance."

Fire Spirit Immortal smiled slightly. He naturally understood Zhuang Yan’s meaning. He wanted to liven up the atmosphere first to prevent the two sides from starting a verbal battle again.

Fortunately, both the Bodhisattvas and Parvati and the other two knew that this was Zhuang Yan's fairy banquet and that they should not make too much noise, so they stopped ridiculing each other and instead called their friends to drink and chat.

After another three days, the immortal banquet at Mount Buzhou finally came to an end, and all the gods, bodhisattvas, and immortals said goodbye and left.

As for Parvati and the other two, they had left a day ago. They were too cautious. If they had waited until the banquet was over before leaving, they would have been blocked by the Buddhists.

As the immortal banquet came to an end, the True Immortal Fire Spirit also bid farewell to Zhuang Yan and led everyone back to the Dongsheng Continent.

Hu Xianfeng's family was the last to leave, but with their departure, Buzhou Mountain, which had been bustling for a long time, finally became quiet.

Zhuang Yan removed the huge jade platform, then pointed his finger and exerted his great power. Immediately, countless palaces, towers, pavilions and terraces rose up all over Mount Buzhou.

A ten-zhang-high white marble mountain gate rises from the southern cliff of Mount Buzhou. The mountain gate is majestic and vast, with a huge plaque hanging across it. On the plaque are written nine large characters: "The Palace of the Great God of Life and Death in the Human World."

All the palaces and pavilions of Mount Buzhou are centered on the "Lingtai Palace" in the middle of the mountain top, radiating out in all directions and down the mountain.

The end is:
The golden pavilion and jade walls reflect the jade platform, and the purple air and golden clouds surround the fairy palace.

The corridors are connected with flying colorful phoenixes, and the red tower in Huating is locked with golden dragons.

Beautiful flowers and grass are green, divine deer and cranes lie down and listen to the bell.

Where can I see the magnificent palace? It is only in this mountain. (End of this chapter)
