I am a fairy in Journey to the West

Chapter 66: Buddha Demon Golden Body, Bodhisattva Visits
Zhuang Yan smiled at the Kitchen God of the prefectural city and said, "Master Kitchen God, there is no need to be polite. How long have you been oppressed by that witch?"

The Kitchen God said with a frown, "It's been almost a month. Thank you for helping me out of this difficult situation."

The Tiger Vanguard in the back said with a smile: "How come you, a kitchen god, can't even deal with a little witch?"

When the Kitchen God heard this, he pointed at the golden statue in Zhuang Yan's hand and said, "If it weren't for this golden statue, why would I be afraid of a little demon like her? The main reason is that this golden statue suppresses my divine power."

"Then you can run." Chi Ling said, "Run to Lingtai Mountain and you will be safe."

The Kitchen God said to Chi Ling, "What do you know, little girl? If you can run, why can't I run? Isn't it impossible to run away?"

Chi Ling said unconvincedly: "I can run away."

The Kitchen God chuckled and said, "Then how did the Lord of the House capture you in the first place?"

Hearing this, Chi Ling was stunned at first and asked, "How did you know?" Then she suddenly realized, "Who said that?!"

Except for those people in the Divine Palace, no one else knew that she was subdued by Zhuang Yan.

Soon Chi Ling fixed his eyes on Hu Xianfeng, "Brother Hu, is that what you said? How could you tell others about my ugly deeds?"

Tiger Vanguard coughed twice, then asked Zhuang Yan, "Master, where are we going next?"

Chi Ling glared at Tiger Vanguard, but did not get angry again. After all, he was still following the Lord to do important business and could not act on his own.

Zhuang Yan smiled and said, "Hu Xianfeng, Chi Ling, you two stay in the governor's mansion and keep an eye on them. If any evil or strange person or thing enters the governor's mansion, arrest them immediately."

"Yes." Tiger Vanguard and Chi Ling immediately bowed.

Afterwards, Zhuang Yan flew out of the Prefectural Mansion at the farewell of the Kitchen God, Tiger Vanguard, and Chi Ling, and turned into a ray of fairy light and returned to the Danchiling Divine Mansion.

After returning to the Divine Palace, Zhuang Yan came to the Mountain God Temple, only to see the Fire Spirit Immortal talking to a monk who was wearing a cassock and was tied up.

Zhuang Yan frowned, took a closer look and asked in surprise, "Elder Guangde?"

Immortal Huo Ling and Elder Guangde looked towards Zhuang Yan at the same time, and Immortal Huo Ling immediately stood up and bowed, saying, "Master, you are back."

Although Elder Guangde was tied up, he still bowed and said, "Greetings, Lord."

Zhuang Yan glanced at the True Immortal Huo Ling and Elder Guangde and said, "What are you doing? Huo Ling, did you kidnap him? I didn't expect you hate him so much?"

The Fire Spirit Immortal smiled and said, "Your Majesty has misunderstood. I came back from capturing that demon girl today and met this Elder Guangde on the way. I found that he showed signs of being possessed by a demon, so I captured him as well."

"I see." Zhuang Yan nodded and said, "I thought you were looking for trouble with him again, and I was ready to help you kill him to silence him."

Hearing this, Elder Guangde said, "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, I am not possessed by a demon."

"What you said is clearly a sign of being possessed by a demon." As he spoke, the True Immortal Huo Ling told Zhuang Yan what Elder Guangde had said before.

After hearing this, Zhuang Yan looked at Elder Guangde in surprise and said with a smile, "Elder, I didn't realize you were so cruel."

Elder Guangde asked in confusion, "I didn't say that just now, Daoist Fellow Huo Ling, did you hear it wrong?"

The Fire Spirit Immortal said, "My Lord, he has clearly gone insane. Let me kill him. Otherwise, once he becomes possessed, there will be another disaster in the world."

Elder Guangde said quickly, "Fellow Daoist Huo Ling, if I was really possessed by a demon, I would have begged you to kill me without you telling me. But I am definitely not possessed by a demon, Lord of the Mansion, you have great magical powers, please see clearly."

Zhuang Yan raised his hand to stop the two of them, and then said, "Don't argue, let me take a look."

After saying that, Zhuang Yan opened his Cave Heaven True Eye and glanced at Elder Guangde. For a moment, Elder Guangde felt that Zhuang Yan saw through him.

After reading it, Zhuang Yan said slowly: "He is indeed not possessed by a demon."

"Ah?" Fire Spirit Immortal was somewhat surprised. She naturally believed Zhuang Yan's words without a doubt. What surprised her was that since Elder Guangde was not possessed by a demon, how could he say such a thing? Was that something a Buddhist monk could say?

Just as the Fire Spirit Immortal's disdain for Elder Guangde reached a new level, Zhuang Yan asked her, "Where is the pottery jar that sealed the witch?"

Upon hearing this, the Fire Spirit Immortal raised his finger and pointed at the pottery jar on the altar below the mountain god statue in front of him and said, "It's right there."

Zhuang Yan smiled faintly, then raised his hand and added a "Remove" to the pottery jar. Afterwards, the Fire Spirit Immortal saw that the pottery jar actually turned from real to virtual, and finally returned to nothingness. The pottery jar was actually an illusion! The real pottery jar was gone.

The Fire Spirit Immortal's face changed drastically, and she rushed forward to look for it. Zhuang Yan said to her, "Don't look for it. The pottery jar has been taken away."

Fire Spirit Immortal turned around and said in disbelief: "But I have been in this palace all the time. How is it possible?"

At this point, the Fire Spirit Immortal immediately knelt on one knee and said to Zhuang Yan, "Please punish me, my Lord."

Zhuang Yan waved his hand and said, "This is because a master has taken action. The words you heard from Elder Guangde are probably caused by this person behind the scenes."

Elder Guangde was stunned and asked quickly, "Master, who could have done this?"

Upon hearing this, Zhuang Yan slowly raised his right hand, revealing the golden body of the Buddha.

“The Golden Body of the Tibetan Wheel?!” Elder Guangde’s face changed, “It’s actually the Golden Body of the Tibetan Wheel.”

While asking the Fire Spirit Immortal to stand up, Zhuang Yan asked Elder Guangde, "What is the origin of this Canglun Golden Body?"

Elder Guangde pondered for a moment and said, "Back then, the Buddha Vairocana Tathagata passed down the Dharma, which evolved into the 'Shingon Sect', 'Huayan Sect', 'Vajra Sect' and other sects. Among them was the 'Zanglun Sect', but the Zanglun Sect went astray in the inheritance of the sect lineage and was corrupted by the devil and fell into the devil's way. Later, the Buddha Vairocana Tathagata issued a decree, ordering the twenty gods to wipe out the Zanglun Sect, and since then, the sect has disappeared."

Zhuang Yan asked, "Then this Canglun Golden Body belongs to the Canglun Sect?"

Elder Guangde nodded and said, "It is the 'Golden Buddha Demon Body' that was made by the Heavenly Demon after the Tibetan Buddhism was possessed by the devil. According to the Tibetan Buddhism scriptures, the Heavenly Demon Poxun descends every thousand years to become a 'Mara'. Mara descends to the world only to disturb the monks and destroy Buddhism. He will also leave a 'demon child' in the mortal world, hiding it from the world, so that the demonic energy can persist in the world forever."

“It seems that the annihilation of the Canglun Sect was not thorough enough, and there are still some fish that slipped through the net.” said the True Immortal Huo Ling.

Hearing this, Zhuang Yan couldn't help but ask, "Could it be that the fetus in that demon woman's belly is the demon fetus left behind by that demon Luo?"

"That's right." Elder Guangde nodded.

"Interesting." Zhuang Yan looked at the golden statue of Buddha and demon in his hand, and already had a plan in mind.

After a moment, Zhuang Yan bowed to Elder Guangde and said, "Since it is a misunderstanding, I will apologize to the elder on behalf of Huo Ling." After that, he untied the ropes on Elder Guangde.

Elder Guangde hurriedly put his hands together and bowed, "How dare I, Lord, please forgive me, my lord."

Zhuang Yan looked at the burns on Elder Guangde's body and immediately raised his hand to give him a ten-breath "self-healing" spell. Elder Guangde felt a cool and refreshing sensation all over his body, and after ten breaths, the injuries caused by the Xuan Yang True Fire were completely healed.

This shocked Elder Guangde greatly, and he had a clearer understanding of Zhuang Yan's "magical power". He clasped his hands together again and said, "Thank you, Lord."

Zhuang Yan waved his hand and said, "I think all this was done by that demon Luo, but his Buddha Demon Golden Body is with me, so he will make a move sooner or later. Let's see what he will do next."

Elder Guangde also said: "It is most appropriate to leave this golden Buddha demon body with the Lord of the Mansion. However, with the entry of Mara into the world, the monks of our Buddhist sect will face another disaster. I will immediately return to Tianci Temple and inform all the temples of this matter."

After saying this, Elder Guangde bowed to Zhuang Yan and said, "My Lord, please allow me to take my leave first."

Zhuang Yan nodded, cupped his hands and said with a smile, "Elder, please do as you please."

Afterwards, Elder Guangde left Lingtai Mountain and returned to Tianci Temple.

At this time, Zhuang Yan turned to the Fire Spirit Immortal and said, "The Bodhisattva Cundi is here. Please go outside the mountain to greet him, and then invite him to meet us here."

Hearing this, Fire Spirit Immortal bowed and accepted the order. She was not surprised that Zhuang Yan could predict the arrival of Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, because she had seen too much of it over the years following Zhuang Yan and had long been accustomed to it.

It is said that as soon as the Fire Spirit Immortal flew out of Danchi Ridge, he immediately saw auspicious clouds in the sky ahead and auspicious aura turning into clouds. Then he saw a Bodhisattva dressed in colorful clothes and with a solemn appearance descending before him on a lotus platform.

The Fire Spirit Immortal quickly stepped forward and bowed, "May I ask if this is the Bodhisattva Cundi?"

Guanyin Bodhisattva stood up, put away the lotus platform under his feet, and saluted with one hand, saying: "It is me, this poor monk. I wonder if the Lord of Lingtai Mansion is in the Divine Palace?"

The Fire Spirit Immortal quickly said, "I am here to welcome the Bodhisattva on the orders of the Lord of the Mansion. The Lord of the Mansion is waiting for the Bodhisattva in the Divine Palace. Bodhisattva, please come in."

Having said that, the True Immortal Huo Ling turned around and invited Guanyin Bodhisattva to enter the mountain.

Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva nodded, then rode on auspicious clouds and flew into the Danchiling Divine Palace one after the other with the Fire Spirit True Immortal. Then, under the guidance of the Fire Spirit True Immortal, they came directly to the Mountain God Temple.
