I am a fairy in Journey to the West

King Jinlun issued a decree, and at an auspicious time, the foundation stone of the City God Temple began to be broken.

Du Song is a famous craftsman who was summoned by King Jinlun to be responsible for the design and construction of the entire City God Temple.

After the groundbreaking ceremony, Juniper and a group of craftsmen began to study the drawings and projects.

At this time, a man who looked like a Taoist priest came over, looked at the team working in front of him, stood aside and said, "What kind of temple is it to build without even a city god?"

This sentence immediately attracted the attention of everyone present, even Du Song and others turned their heads to look over.

The official in charge of supervising the construction frowned upon hearing this, looked at the Taoist priest, and then said, "Where did this crazy Taoist priest come from? Stop talking nonsense."

The Taoist said, "Am I wrong? Your Jinlun Kingdom and Tianqi Kingdom were divided into two countries. The original Nisuo City God is the City God of your country. Now the Nisuo City God has been welcomed by Tianqi Kingdom. What City God does your Jinlun Kingdom have? Now you want to build a City God Temple. Isn't this deceiving yourselves?"

The official was furious and pointed at the Taoist priest and said, "Crazy Taoist priest, do you want to die? The construction of this City God Temple is the king's decree. How dare you slander the king's order here? Come, arrest him and put him in jail until the king decides what to do."

"Yes!" A group of soldiers immediately rushed up aggressively. Seeing this, the Taoist turned around and ran away, disappearing in a few seconds.

The soldiers chased after him and didn't come back until half a quarter of an hour later.

The official sent the soldiers back empty-handed and couldn't help asking, "Where is the Taoist priest?"

The captain of the soldiers lowered his head and stepped forward to report: "Sir, the Taoist priest was very fast, climbing over walls and trees as if he were walking on flat ground. We couldn't catch up with him, and he ran away."

The official snorted coldly upon hearing this and scolded, "What a bunch of rubbish."

The captain could only nod in agreement and dared not express any dissatisfaction. The official did not hold on to the matter any longer and just said, "Tell the soldiers patrolling the city to pay attention to this crazy Taoist priest and arrest him immediately if they find him."

The captain immediately bowed and said, "As you command."

At this time, Du Song and the craftsmen had already agreed on a plan and submitted it to the official. The official nodded and said with a smile, "Thank you for your help. I hope you will take care of the project in the future."

Du Song and the others bowed quickly and said, "Don't worry, sir. We will do our best."

"Okay, okay." The official nodded with a smile, then got into the sedan chair and left.

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye the sun had set. Du Song bid farewell to all the craftsmen and hurried home.

Smelling the fragrance of food along the way, Du Song smiled. His wife must have prepared the food and was waiting for him at home by now.

Thinking of his wife, Du Song felt distressed again. His wife had suffered from back pain since childhood, and she would be in excruciating pain once the pain flared up.

Even if the disease does not occur, you should not bend over too much, otherwise it will be very painful.

He has become a famous craftsman at the age of 38. Just because he wanted to make money to pay for his wife's medical treatment, he kept studying techniques and skills, which led to his current fame.

But despite spending a lot of money, my wife's back pain has not been cured. In the past two years, as she has grown older, her back pain has become more and more serious.

When he arrived at the door of his house, he smelled the aroma of food wafting out from the yard. Du Song immediately adjusted his mood and walked towards the door with a smile on his face.

Unexpectedly, just as he reached the door, a figure suddenly jumped out from the side, and Du Song was so scared that he picked up a hammer and was about to hit him.

But when the figure came closer, he could see clearly that it was the Taoist priest from the day before. Du Song retracted the hammer, but still held it in his hand, staring at the Taoist priest.

"Is this your home?" the Taoist priest came over and asked with a smile.

Du Song nodded and said, "What's the matter, Taoist Priest?"

Zhuang Yan touched his stomach and said, "Nothing, I'm just hungry. I want to go to your house for a meal. It smells so good."

Juniper frowned and wanted to refuse, but when he glanced, he saw a team of patrolling soldiers holding torches walking towards him in the distance.

Du Song then grabbed Zhuang Yan's arm and pulled him into his yard, then closed the gate and said to Zhuang Yan, "Then please come in, Taoist priest."

Zhuang Yan was not polite. He walked into the hall with a smile, looked at the table full of steaming food, sat down and started eating without saying a word.

Du Song frowned when he saw this scene, and his wife, who was walking out of the kitchen with a pot of soup, was also stunned when she saw it.

Du's wife looked at Du Song, and Du Song immediately coughed twice.

But Zhuang Yan turned a deaf ear and just picked up his chopsticks, and the whole table immediately became a mess.

Du Song sighed secretly, then quickly stepped forward and winked at his wife, then walked to the table and sat down, and asked Zhuang Yan: "It seems that the Taoist priest is very hungry."

"That's not true." Zhuang Yan picked up half a plate of bacon with his chopsticks and put it into his mouth, saying, "Those soldiers chased me all day long."

At this time, Du's wife came forward. When Zhuang Yan saw the pot of Matsutake soup in her hand, his eyes lit up. He snatched it away without saying a word, held it in his hands, and drank from it. Du Song and his wife were stunned.

It was unknown how long it took before Du's wife said with a look of distress in her eyes: "It's hot!"

Zhuang Yan put down the soup bowl, touched his stomach, glanced at Du's wife and said, "I've already finished eating and you're just saying it's hot? What's your intention?"

Du Song was immediately furious. I could tolerate your rudeness in front of me, but I couldn't tolerate your rudeness to my wife. So he immediately stood up and grabbed Zhuang Yan's collar and said, "You crazy Taoist priest, I saved you with good intentions and even took you in for dinner. How come you don't have any manners at all?" Zhuang Yan looked at Du Song's angry face and laughed, "Why are you so angry? Don't forget that I am a wanted criminal now. You are hiding a wanted criminal. If you are exposed, do you know what the consequences will be?"

Du Song's face changed when he heard this, and he immediately let go of Zhuang Yan's collar, regretting in his heart that he should not have had such a kind thought.

At this time, Zhuang Yan sat down leisurely, looking at the mess of food on the table that he had wolfed down, and said to Du's wife, "Master Dao, I'm not full yet. Go make another meal for you."

"What? You!!!" Juniper was furious again. You finished all the dishes on the table, and we didn't eat a single bite. How dare you say this?

Zhuang Yan warned again: "Don't forget, I'm a wanted criminal."

Du Song didn't care about that and said angrily: "My wife is ill, and it's not easy to cook this meal. You evil Taoist priest, I will beat you to death."

Then he picked up a hammer and tried to hit Zhuang Yan, who immediately shouted, "Murder, murder."

Du's wife was greatly alarmed, and hurried forward to stop Du Song, and then comforted him: "Don't be angry, my husband, it's okay, my waist doesn't hurt today, it won't hurt to cook another table."

After saying that, Du's wife turned and went into the kitchen. Du Song glared at Zhuang Yan, and after a moment he said, "After this meal, leave!"

Zhuang Yan smiled but said nothing. Half an hour later, another table of food was served. This time, Zhuang Yan began to eat slowly.

Seeing this, Du Song called his wife over, and the two sat together and started eating.

But halfway through the meal, Du's wife put down her bowl and chopsticks, held her waist with both hands and frowned tightly.

Du Song's face changed drastically, and he quickly put down his bowl and chopsticks and said, "What's wrong, Madam? Is your waist starting to hurt again?"

Du's wife was in so much pain that she couldn't speak. Du Song felt so distressed that he quickly stood up and said, "I'll go get a doctor right away."

Du's wife hurriedly grabbed Du Song, first glanced at Zhuang Yan opposite, and then shook her head at Du Song.

Seeing this, Du Song couldn't help but stamp his feet in regret again, but his heart was still full of anger and he had nowhere to vent it, so he slapped the table hard.

With a loud 'bang', Zhuang Yan was startled and the chopsticks in his hand immediately fell to the ground.

Zhuang Yan immediately became unhappy and said to Du Song, "You scared me and dropped my chopsticks." Then he pointed at Du's wife and said, "Tell her to pick them up for me, or I will turn myself in to the authorities and report you for harboring a criminal."

Du Song was furious and said, "I will kill you, you dog Taoist priest!"

Zhuang Yan was not afraid but laughed and said, "Killing someone means paying with your life!"

Du's wife was horrified. She ignored the severe pain in her waist and quickly stood up to hold Du Song, saying, "Don't be angry, my husband. It's not worth breaking the law for this. Just bear with it for now. I will pick it up for him."

"What? How can this be done? Your waist can never bend!" Du Song said hurriedly.

Du's wife looked pale. She held Du Song's hand, smiled, and said, "It's okay."

After saying that, she walked in front of Zhuang Yan. She tried to bend over several times but couldn't. Every time she bent a little bit, it was extremely painful.

As a last resort, Du's wife could only kneel on the ground with her body straight, then reach out to pick up the chopsticks, but she still couldn't reach them.

Du Song hurriedly went forward to pick up the chopsticks, but Zhuang Yan blocked his way with his hand, saying, "Eh? What are you doing? I told your wife to pick it up, not you."

Du Song roared, but saw his wife lying on the ground, picking up the pair of chopsticks in her hand, but unable to stand up again. She could only raise them behind her head and said, "Master, your chopsticks."

Zhuang Yan reached out to take the chopsticks, and Du Song hurried forward to pick up his wife. At this time, Du's wife was shaking with pain, sweating profusely, and even her facial features were distorted.

Zhuang Yan laughed loudly, nodded to Du's wife and said, "Okay, okay, okay."

After saying that, Zhuang Yan stood up, walked forward and pushed Du Song away. The force of this push was so strong that Du Song was pushed several steps away in an instant. He was terrified.

Then Zhuang Yan came behind Du's wife, raised his hand and patted her on the back gently. There was a "click" sound, and Du's wife groaned and fell forward.

Du Song was shocked and rushed over. He supported his wife and yelled at Zhuang Yan, "What did you do to my wife?"

But Du's wife let out a moan of extreme enjoyment and pleasure, then slowly straightened up and said in surprise: "My waist doesn't hurt anymore?!"

Juniper: "Ah? Really?"

Du's wife nodded, then twisted her waist carefully, only to find that her originally stiff waist was now extremely smooth. Not only could she twist it in a small range, she could even easily do movements such as leaning back and bending forward, which she had never been able to do before.

"My back pain is healed!" Du's wife was horrified and incredulous, but then burst into tears of joy and said, "My back pain is healed!"

Du Song was also very surprised to see this, and the couple immediately hugged each other and cried, but they soon remembered Zhuang Yan and hurriedly turned their heads to look.

But there was no trace of Zhuang Yan, he had disappeared long ago, but a piece of paper slowly floated down from the air and landed in Du Song's hands.

Du Song took the note and looked at it carefully. It said: "Give me a good meal, and I will give you a good waist."

After reading the words on the note, Mr. and Mrs. Du Song looked at each other in silence for a long time. (End of this chapter)
