I am a fairy in Journey to the West

After ten months of pregnancy, the Third Holy Mother gave birth to a healthy, chubby baby boy, whom Liu Yanchang was overjoyed with and named 'Chenxiang'.

On this day, red light filled the Liu residence, and a strange fragrance permeated the garden.

Furthermore, colorful clouds gathered from all four sides and auspicious clouds surrounded from all eight directions. Such extraordinary phenomena directly alarmed the entire Fengxian County.

Faced with this strange phenomenon, the Third Holy Mother, who was lying on the bed playing with little Chenxiang, also sensed it.

She was both proud and worried about the extraordinary signs that her child's birth had caused.

The Holy Mother glanced at the golden candlestick beside her and, seeing that it still shimmered with golden light, breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Just then, the entire Liu residence was suddenly illuminated by an extremely dazzling ray of light, followed by boundless auspicious light. Even the Third Holy Mother was incredibly surprised by the powerful auspiciousness.

Because this auspicious aura was comparable to that of her father, the Great Emperor of the Western Peak, the Third Holy Mother felt uneasy.

Could it really be her father, the Great Emperor of the Western Peak? But the Third Holy Mother quickly dismissed the idea, because there was no majestic divine power in this auspicious aura.

Just then, a maid rushed in and said, "Master, Madam, a deity has come outside and says he wants to bestow blessings upon the young master."

The Holy Mother and Liu Yanchang exchanged a glance, and Liu Yanchang immediately said, "I'll go take a look."

The Holy Mother of the Three Realms immediately stopped Liu Yanchang, saying, "Judging from this auspicious and magnificent scene, the one who has come must be a great and holy being. We should go out to greet him together."

Then the Third Holy Mother had her maid help her change her clothes, and then had her wet nurse carry Liu Chenxiang, and together with Liu Yanchang, they went out of the house to greet her.

The two arrived at the front yard and saw that the rooftops were covered with golden-winged birds, and rounds of auspicious light shone down from the sky, making them feel as if they were bathed in spring sunshine and their hearts were filled with joy.

Liu Yanchang and the Third Holy Mother looked up and saw a celestial being with hair tied in a topknot, wearing a crescent moon on his head, a tiger skin around his waist, holding a trident, and a halo of light shining down on the world behind his head, standing on auspicious seven-colored clouds.

Upon seeing this person, the Third Holy Mother immediately showed surprise and quickly led Liu Yanchang to bow down, saying, "Jinu Hua (Liu Yanchang) pays respects to the Primordial Ancestor Shiva."

Upon hearing this, Liu Yanchang was greatly alarmed. The Vedic Kingdom had been ruling Fengxian County for almost two years, and Buddhism had long been introduced there.

Shiva is one of the three founders of Brahma, and is on par with the Buddhas of Buddhism.

Liu Yanchang never expected that the birth of his son would attract such a powerful figure. He didn't know whether to be happy or worried.

At this moment, Shiva spoke, “I heard that you have given birth to a son. I was passing by this place when I received a report from the immortals below, so I stopped here to see you.”

Upon hearing this, the Third Holy Mother quickly took Liu Chenxiang from the arms of the wet nurse kneeling behind her and lifted her up slightly.

Shiva slowly lowered his head to look down. Murugan, who was standing nearby, saw this and immediately said excitedly to the ant-leech sage, "Write this down and carve it into an image later."

At first, the Ant-Leech Immortal was confused, but after a closer look, he instantly understood.

A beautiful mother gently lifted her child with both hands, and the holy Shiva, with a compassionate and kind face, slowly lowered his head to look at the infant.

This scene was naturally sacred, moving all the creatures that witnessed it to tears.

But Shiva only glanced at Liu Chenxiang and saw that the child had a huge karmic burden. Shiva was a little surprised. Why would the reincarnation of Buddha have such a huge karmic burden?

Shiva began to weigh the pros and cons and finally decided not to accept him as a disciple for the time being, but to bless him and let him owe him some karma.

Thinking of this, Shiva extended his right index finger and gently touched Liu Chenxiang's forehead, saying, "I bless you, so that you will turn misfortune into good fortune whenever you encounter any danger."

As Shiva finished speaking, a golden light burst forth from his fingertips and instantly entered Liu Chenxiang's brow.

Then Shiva said to Liu Chenxiang, "Child, if you are destined to become my disciple in the future, you will attain the highest level of enlightenment."

Shiva left himself a backup plan: if Liu Chenxiang is truly the reincarnation of Buddha, and if his future destiny is bright, and given the cause and effect of the blessing he bestowed today, he will naturally have the opportunity to become his disciple in the future.

However, if the future is uncertain, or if there are other entanglements, then it can be said that the relationship has run its course.

After saying this, Shiva rode on a cloud, and then countless golden-winged birds flew up and landed at Shiva's feet. They spread their wings and propelled the cloud, carrying Shiva back to Brahma's realm.

After Mulugan, the ant-leech hermit, and the other Brahmanical monks saw Shiva off, they all came down to congratulate Liu Yanchang and his wife.

Liu Yanchang and the Third Holy Mother were naturally overjoyed and immediately ordered a banquet to be held in the mansion to entertain everyone.

As the founder of a religion, Shiva's supernatural powers are among the best in the three realms, and he is on par with the Buddhas of the West.

With his blessing, at least in the eyes of Liu Yanchang and the Third Holy Mother, their son's path to adulthood would surely be smooth sailing.

Moreover, it should be noted that Liu Chenxiang not only received blessings from Shiva, but also from the merits of three Buddhist bodhisattvas.

Both the Brahma and Buddhism sects bestow blessings upon their son; how could his fortune be anything but?

That evening, the Third Holy Mother and Liu Yanchang held a banquet in the mansion. After entertaining all the guests and seeing them off after the banquet, they carried Liu Chenxiang back to their own room.

When the Holy Mother of the Three Kingdoms entered the house to change her clothes and remove her makeup, she suddenly discovered that the golden flower candlestick bestowed by the Bodhisattva Cundi had shattered into pieces.

The Holy Mother's expression changed, and she hurriedly went forward to check. Sure enough, the golden flower candlestick was broken all over the table, and it was broken very cleanly.

"Husband, come here quickly!" the Third Holy Mother hurriedly called out.

Liu Yanchang had just handed Liu Chenxiang over to the wet nurse when he rushed over. "What's wrong, Madam?"

The Third Holy Mother pointed to the candlestick and said, "Husband, look."

Liu Yanchang turned his head to look, and then his expression changed. He then said angrily, "Madam, this must have been broken by some stupid servant while cleaning. I will call them all here and question them one by one."

“This is none of their business,” the Third Holy Mother said, stopping Liu Yanchang.

Liu Yanchang looked at the Third Holy Mother, who slowly said, "This lotus platform is made of pure gold; it's not so easily broken. Besides, if it were truly broken by someone, it would definitely have an aura about it."

After listening, Liu Yanchang asked in confusion, "Then who could it be? It can't just break on its own, can it?"

Upon hearing Liu Yanchang's words, the Third Holy Mother suddenly froze, and after a long while, she murmured, "It must have broken on its own."

At this moment, the Third Holy Mother remembered the conflict between Brahma and Buddhism, two sects that were irreconcilable enemies.

Today, Shiva comes to bestow blessings, and then the candlestick that could conceal heavenly secrets, given by Bodhisattva Cundi, is broken. Shiva then bestows blessings upon Liu Chenxiang. Isn't this also the result of the merits and blessings bestowed by the three Bodhisattvas before?
As usual, Youyi Lingguan patrolled the Three Realms. When he passed through Xiniu Hezhou, he suddenly saw a majestic aura rising straight into the sky below, accompanied by countless auspicious clouds and omens.

"Judging from this scene, could it be that the Buddha has descended to earth and manifested his divine power?" The wandering spirit official thought to himself, and decided to go down and take a look. If the Buddha had indeed manifested his divine power, he could also share in the auspiciousness. However, when he landed, he did not see any Buddha light. Instead, the auspicious clouds and auspicious energy landed in the home of an ordinary person.

If it were the Buddha manifesting his divine power, he would certainly not do it in just one household. So, out of curiosity, the wandering spirit official transformed into a mortal and approached to watch.

He later learned that a family in Fengxian County had a son, which attracted the ancestor of Buddhism, Shiva, to come and bestow blessings.

The wandering spirit official was very surprised. Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva were all religious leaders. To be able to attract him to bestow blessings, what an incredible fortune that must be!

The wandering spirit official became even more curious. What kind of child could have such good fortune?
However, he could not reveal his true form, and since he was currently only in human form, he could not enter the Liu residence to investigate.

Thinking that he still had to inspect other places, Youyi Lingguan returned to the heavens, only using his divine power to glance down at Liu Mansion.

But upon looking around, he saw nothing. "Huh? Has the Liu residence set up a method to conceal the secrets of heaven?"

“That child is indeed extraordinary.” Thinking of this, Youyi Lingguan said, “Well, he is so fortunate, he will surely stand out in the future. There is no need to rush to see his talent.”

After speaking, Youyi Lingguan was about to leave, but at that moment, the magic gate that concealed the secrets of heaven in Liu Mansion below suddenly disappeared, and all the secrets of heaven in Liu Mansion were revealed.

Upon discovering this, Youyi Lingguan stopped in his tracks once more. "Could it be that fate is decreed that I should be able to see it for myself?" Youyi Lingguan thought to himself, and then used his divine power to look down.

Then he saw the Third Holy Mother, and thought, "Why does this woman look so much like the Third Holy Mother of Mount Hua?"

The wandering spirit official was greatly surprised and quickly looked again carefully. Sure enough, it was the Third Holy Mother.

To avoid making a mistake, Youyi Lingguan descended to the mortal realm again, transforming into a Buddhist monk to investigate.

Finally, the wandering spirit official confirmed that the woman was the Third Holy Mother of Mount Hua, the daughter of the Great Emperor of Mount Xiyue. She had descended to the mortal realm without permission, married a mortal, and even had a son with him.

The wandering spirit official was extremely shocked and immediately left the Liu residence to report to the Western Mountain.

But he stopped halfway to the Western Mountain God's Palace. "No, if we report to the Western Mountain God, the Third Holy Mother is, after all, the daughter of the Western Mountain Emperor. There's no guarantee they won't protect her and downplay this serious crime that violates the Heavenly Laws."

Thinking of this, Youyi Lingguan immediately changed his mind, "This matter should be reported directly to the Chenhuan Jade Palace."

So the wandering spirit immediately changed direction and flew towards Buzhou Mountain. On his way to Buzhou Mountain, he encountered Hua Yue Erlang, who was returning from Erlang Temple.

Hua Yue Erlang was dressed in armor, covered with a divine robe, with a sword at his waist and a three-pointed double-edged knife in his hand. This appearance made Youyi Lingguan momentarily dazed, thinking that he had encountered Erlang Xiansheng Zhenjun.

Only when they got close did they realize it was Hua Yue Erlang, and Hua Yue Erlang also saw You Yi Lingguan, so he quickly called out, "Lingguan, wait a moment."

You Yiling was startled and immediately drew his sword to be on guard, because Hua Yue Erlang had come to intercept him.

Hua Yue Erlang flew closer and saw Youyi Lingguan looking at him warily. He asked in surprise, "Youyi Lingguan, why do you look like this? It's me, Hua Yue Ji Jing."

The wandering spirit official, holding a precious sword, asked, "Lord Jinming, what brings you to my presence?"

Hua Yue Erlang was taken aback upon hearing this, then laughed and said, "I just came out of Erlang Temple and was on my way back to Xiyue to visit my relatives. I didn't expect to run into Lingguan on the way, so I thought I'd stop him and say hello."

At this point, Hua Yue Erlang quickly cupped his hands and said, "Please forgive me if I have disturbed the official duties of the spirit official."

When Youyi Lingguan saw that he did not want to lie, he realized that he had misunderstood. So he sheathed his sword and returned the greeting, saying, "Greetings, Marquis Jinming. I have an urgent matter to attend to, so I dare not stop midway."

"I see." Hua Yue Erlang laughed, "Then I won't bother you any longer, Spirit Official." He then stepped aside to make way.

Youyi Lingguan bowed to Huayue Erlang, then transformed into a streak of rainbow light and headed straight for Buzhou Mountain.

Hua Yue Erlang watched as Youyi Lingguan disappeared into the horizon, then shook his head and said, "Judging from Youyi Lingguan's hurried appearance, I wonder what major event has occurred somewhere?"

But he didn't think too much about it and just continued flying towards Mount Hua.

Hua Yue Erlang has been learning martial arts from Erlang Shen for nearly twenty years, and he is now completely different from before. His physical body has now reached the Great Perfection of the 'Immortal Jade Body', achieving the state of 'flawless and perfect'.

Putting everything else aside, defeating the Four Heavenly Kings plus the Giant Spirit God would be no problem at all.

Filled with the joy of having mastered his skills, Hua Yue Erlang quickened his pace, eager to return to Xiyue.

Just then, a beam of light suddenly flew in from the right front. Hua Yue Erlang looked closely and exclaimed in surprise, "The Barefoot Immortal?"

The person in the celestial light heard Hua Yue Erlang's voice and immediately turned around to approach him.

Upon closer inspection, it was indeed the Barefoot Immortal, and Hua Yue Erlang immediately stopped to pay his respects.

"Oh? So it's Marquis Jinming. You've also received the news and returned home?" Barefoot Immortal smiled and bowed slightly.

Hua Yue Erlang was taken aback for a moment, then asked, "News? What news?"

The Barefoot Immortal laughed heartily and said, "Of course it's good news! Your sister has given birth to a big, healthy boy. After I foresaw this, I immediately came to Mount Hua to offer my congratulations."

"Huh?" Hua Yue Erlang was taken aback. "My sister? Female Hua?"

"That's right," the Barefoot Immortal exclaimed in surprise, "Didn't you know?"

Hua Yue Erlang looked completely bewildered. "When did my sister get married? How come I didn't know?"

"This," the Barefoot Immortal looked at Hua Yue Erlang and said, "Your sister married a mortal named Liu Yanchang more than a year ago, and gave birth to a son six days ago, named Liu Chenxiang. How come you didn't know?"

Hua Yue Erlang froze on the spot. "Mortal...give birth?" Hua Yue Erlang kept repeating these four words, when suddenly he had a jolt and remembered the wandering spirit official in front of him.

"No wonder the Wandering Spirit Official was so wary of me! It's not good that he went in that direction, Buzhou Mountain!" Hua Yue Erlang exclaimed in surprise.

Seeing his astonishment, the Barefoot Immortal suddenly remembered something. "Could it be that the Third Holy Mother was secretly married to a mortal? Didn't your Western Mountain Sect know about this all along?"

Hua Yue Erlang clapped his hands and sighed, "Something big is about to happen."

The Barefoot Immortal understood what important matter he was referring to and immediately said with a serious expression, "Don't rush. The most important thing now is to return to Xiyue and inform His Majesty and the Empress about this matter."

After saying that, the Barefoot Immortal grabbed Hua Yue Erlang and said, "Jinming Marquis, stand firm, I will take you back to the Western Peak."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Barefoot Immortal slowly took a step towards the direction of Mount Hua. This step instantly crossed thousands of mountains and rivers, traversed states and lands, and in the blink of an eye, he traversed a million miles of territory.

In just five or six breaths, the Barefoot Immortal and Hua Yue Erlang appeared before the gate of Mount Hua in the west. (End of this chapter)
