I am a fairy in Journey to the West

Chapter 44: Monkey and tiger compete in martial arts at the beginning of training, and the talisman is passed to Zhuang Yan to give peaches
Ding, Ding, Dang, Dang

On Danchi Ridge, the clanging sounds of weapons colliding were heard continuously.

Beside a stone table in the peach forest outside the mountain temple, Zhuang Yan was sitting on a stone bench on the left, Huo Lingzheng and Chi Ling were sitting on stone benches on the right, and the table was filled with various fruits.

In front of them, two figures, one holding a knife and the other holding a stick, were fighting each other.

Looking closely, they saw that one of them had a tiger head and a human body, and the other had a monkey head and a human body. They were Tiger Vanguard and Sun Wukong.

Sparks flew as the swords and sticks collided, and the sound of metal clashing rang out. Sun Wukong danced with his iron stick in a dazzling manner, while Tiger Vanguard swung his broadsword with great force.

Just when the two were fighting fiercely, Sun Wukong made a feint and Tiger Vanguard hurriedly dodged. At this moment, Sun Wukong suddenly picked up the stick and jumped up, flipping in the air. The iron stick made a "whoosh" sound and smashed towards Tiger Vanguard.

Tiger Vanguard hurriedly blocked with his sword, and there was a "clang" sound, sparks flew, the sword in his hand trembled violently, and his feet stepped on the ground with a "dong dong dong" sound as he kept backing away.

At this time, Sun Wukong caught up again. Tiger Vanguard quickly took a look at the big sword that was full of broken and curled blades, suddenly stopped, looked at Sun Wukong who was catching up with him, immediately activated his magic power, and then opened his mouth and let out a loud roar.

'Roar'

A tiger roared in the forest, the wind was as strong as a storm, and there was a loud "bang". Sun Wukong cried out in surprise, and was then directly blown away more than ten feet by the tiger's roar.

With a 'bang', Sun Wukong fell to the ground, his body shaking a little.

After a while, Sun Wukong steadied himself, recovered his composure, and said to Tiger Vanguard with a smile: "Brother Tiger, your roar in the forest is truly extraordinary."

Tiger Vanguard heaved a sigh of relief, then smiled and said, "You also dance with the stick very well."

"Haha." Sun Wukong was very proud and said, "Master has taught me some skills recently, otherwise I would not dare to fight with you, Brother Tiger."

Tiger Vanguard heard this and said, "You must practice the skills that Bodhi Patriarch taught you well and don't neglect them."

"That's natural, that's natural." Sun Wukong said, "It's just that my master taught me the way and method, and I have just started to practice it, so I am not very proficient yet."

"Don't worry, take your time." Tiger Vanguard said with a smile: "Practice is not something that can be done overnight, so don't rush. Besides, you have just started practicing, and you can tie with me at the level of Refining Essence into Qi, which is already amazing."

After saying that, Tiger Vanguard said to Sun Wukong: "Brother Monkey, let's go over there and rest for a while."

"Hey!" Sun Wukong responded, followed Tiger Vanguard to the stone table and bowed to Zhuang Yan, "Tiger King."

Zhuang Yan raised his hand and pointed at the stone bench in front of them and said with a smile, "Sit down."

After the two of them sat down, Zhuang Yan picked up a mountain peach and handed it to Sun Wukong, who quickly stood up and took it, "Thank you, Mr. Mountain."

Zhuang Yan smiled, and then said to Hu Xianfeng: "Don't be so formal, just get whatever you want to eat."

"Hey!" Tiger Pioneer nodded, then took a wax melon and started eating.

Zhuang Yan looked at Sun Wukong and said with a smile, "Wukong, in the past, the one who delivered the longevity peaches was either Xianyun Tongzi or Guhe Tongzi, but this time, Taoist Bodhi sent you. Do you know why?"

"I know." Sun Wukong said, "My master asked me to take this opportunity to thank the mountain king for saving my life."

Zhuang Yan smiled and said, "I can't say it's a favor for saving my life. Your master is asking you to repay the favor."

Sun Wukong nodded thoughtfully after hearing this. At this time, Tiger Vanguard finished eating the wax gourd and said, "Shan Jun, I want to ask for leave and go to Guangcifu City to forge a new sword."

As he spoke, Tiger Vanguard raised the broadsword with a curved blade.

When Sun Wukong saw the knife, he was immediately delighted and said, "Brother, a stick is more useful. Why don't you learn how to use a stick from me?"

"My martial arts are swordsmanship, I can't use a stick." said Tiger Vanguard.

Zhuang Yan said, "Your sword is made of ordinary iron. Even if you go to the mortal world to make the best sword, it is still an ordinary weapon."

"This mountain king, but I don't have the precious material of divine iron to make a real weapon." Tiger Vanguard said.

Zhuang Yan thought for a moment and said, "It's okay. Just wait a while. It will be there in a few days."

Tiger Vanguard scratched his head, then nodded and said, "Yes, Tiger."

At this time, Sun Wukong turned his head to look at Chi Ling who was sitting next to the Fire Spirit Immortal. He saw her small body sitting there with her face on the stone table. Her pair of red vertical pupils were staring at the mountain peach in front of her.

Sun Wukong laughed and said, "Hehe, little snake spirit, when I have mastered my training in the future, I will definitely fight with you again." Upon hearing this, Chi Ling spit out a pink snake tongue from her mouth, and then opened her mouth to show her steel saw-like teeth.

"What do you mean?" Sun Wukong felt uncomfortable when he saw the mouth full of steel teeth.

Chi Ling, who was not good at speaking, glanced at Sun Wukong and said three words slowly: "You, grind your teeth."

But when Sun Wukong heard these three words, he immediately became anxious. He scratched his head and stood up from the stone bench, pointing at Chi Ling and said, "Okay, okay, when I learn the great Dao, I will beat you up until your face is covered with peach blossoms."

After saying that, Sun Wukong clasped his fists towards Zhuang Yan and said, "Shan Jun, I still need to go back to practice, so I'll take my leave now."

Zhuang Yan laughed, nodded and said, "Go ahead."

After bidding farewell to Zhuang Yan, Sun Wukong made a gesture with his fingers, and a gust of wind immediately rose from under his feet, and he flew straight to Fangcun Mountain.

Zhuang Yan saw Sun Wukong leaving, smiled and patted Chi Ling's head, "How many words did you learn today?"

Chi Ling immediately sat up straight, looked at Zhuang Yan and said three words with great effort: "Lingtai Mountain."

"That's right." Zhuang Yan took out two longevity peaches and placed them in front of Chi Ling, saying, "I'll give you an extra longevity peach as a reward."

Chi Ling immediately held the two longevity peaches in her arms, and kept sticking out her tongue to sniff the fragrance of the longevity peaches.

Then Zhuang Yan gave one to Fire Spirit Immortal and Tiger Pioneer, and said to Tiger Pioneer, "Tiger Pioneer, go to the Golden Bird Fairy on Liuzhen Peak and pass on a talisman."

Tiger Vanguard immediately put away the longevity peach and stood up. Zhuang Yan then gave a talisman to Tiger Vanguard, who immediately took the order and left.

Soon, Tiger Vanguard arrived at the Golden Bird Fairy's dojo on Liuzhen Peak, "Is the Golden Bird Fairy here? I am Tiger Vanguard from the Lingtai Mountain Temple."

When Fairy Goldfinch heard the voice, she immediately walked out of the Cloud House and said, "It turns out to be Tiger Vanguard. I wonder what the Vanguard is doing here?"

Tiger Vanguard took out the talisman and said, "The mountain king has a talisman and asked me to pass it to the fairy."

Fairy Jinque took the talisman and read its contents with her divine mind. After a moment, Fairy Jinque said expressionlessly, "Please ask Tiger Vanguard to report back to the Mountain Lord and say that Jinque has received your order."

"Okay, then I'll take my leave." After saying this, Tiger Vanguard turned and left.

After returning to the mountain temple, Tiger Vanguard saw Chi Ling who was studying writing and talking. He smiled and took out a string of candied haws from his sleeve and walked over to him, "Come here, little Chi Ling, I'll give you some candied haws."

Chi Ling raised her head and saw the candied haws in front of her. She immediately rolled her eyes at Tiger Vanguard and said in an unfamiliar voice, "I'm three hundred pieces."

After saying that, he lowered his head again and started writing and drawing on the ground while reading aloud.

Tiger Vanguard laughed, put away the candied haws, and asked the Fire Spirit Immortal sitting on the peach tree, "General, is the mountain king in the Eight Immortals Pavilion?"

"Well, just go." Fire Spirit Immortal closed his eyes slightly and nodded.

Tiger Vanguard nodded, then rode the wind and came to the Eight Immortals Pavilion.

"Shan Jun, the talisman has been delivered, and Fairy Goldfinch reported that she has received the order." Tiger Vanguard said to Zhuang Yan who was sitting cross-legged in the pavilion.

Zhuang Yan nodded and said, "Okay."

Tiger Vanguard bowed and said, "I will take my leave."

Zhuang Yan said: "Wait."

Tiger Vanguard immediately stopped, turned around and asked, "What do you want, Mr. Shan?"

Zhuang Yan took out three more longevity peaches from his sleeve, used his magic power to send them to Tiger Vanguard, and said, "Give these three longevity peaches back to your wife and two children."

Tiger Vanguard was stunned. Looking at the three immortal longevity peaches floating in front of him, his eyes suddenly turned red. He knelt on the ground with a plop and kowtowed three times to Zhuang Yan, "Thank you, Mr. Shan."

Zhuang Yan smiled faintly and waved his hand, saying, "Go ahead."

"Yes." Tiger Vanguard responded, then stood up, put away the three longevity peaches, and respectfully left the Eight Immortals Pavilion.
