I am a fairy in Journey to the West

Chapter 83: Laojun loses his strategy and Zhuang Yan captures Wukong (First Order)
Ever since Erlang Shen was dispatched to fight against Sun Wukong, all the gods and saints have been in the Lingxiao Palace and can see everything clearly through the Haotian Treasure Mirror.

Sun Wukong and Erlang Shen fought a fierce battle for three hundred rounds without a clear winner. Then Erlang Shen suddenly summoned his divine power and performed the "Heaven and Earth Magic".

The Erlang God became ten thousand feet tall, with scarlet hair, a green face and fangs, and he started to chop at Sun Wukong's head.

Sun Wukong was not to be outdone. He displayed his magical powers and became exactly the same as Erlang Shen. He held the golden cudgel in his hand and fought with Erlang Shen.

On the other side, the Six Saints of Meishan also led 1,200 grass-headed gods, released hawks and dogs, drew bows and crossbows, and rushed into the Flower-Fruit Mountain, forcing the monkeys in the Flower-Fruit Mountain to abandon their weapons and armor and run for the mountains to hide in caves.

The Six Saints of Meishan led 1,200 grass-headed gods to search the mountain and inspect the caves. In one fell swoop, they captured all the monkeys in the mountain, without leaving any behind.

Sun Wukong was fighting with Erlang Shen when he suddenly heard the monkeys in the Flower-Fruit Mountain were frightened and scattered. Looking back, he saw that another monkey had been captured. He was greatly panicked and immediately put away his magic elephant, took out his stick and left.

Seeing Sun Wukong flying away, Erlang Shen shouted, "Where are you going, demon monkey?" Then he put away his magic image, picked up his three-pointed, double-edged spear and chased after him.

As soon as Sun Wukong flew outside the Flower-Fruit Mountain, he was blocked by the Six Saints of Meishan. The six saints surrounded him with their weapons in hand. "Capture the demon monkey quickly."

Sun Wukong panicked when he saw this, and pushed the Six Saints of Meishan away with his stick. Then he randomly chose a direction, transformed himself into a sparrow and flew away.

When Erlang Shen arrived, the Six Saints of Meishan were shouting and searching everywhere. Erlang Shen asked, "Brothers, where has the demon monkey gone?"

The Six Saints of Meishan said, "They surrounded us here and suddenly disappeared."

Upon hearing this, Erlang Shen immediately opened his phoenix eyes and looked around, only to see Sun Wukong standing on a tree in the form of a sparrow. Erlang Shen sneered, immediately took out the slingshot from his waist, installed the divine sword, drew the bow and started shooting.

With a whoosh sound, a sharp blade cut through the sky and headed straight towards the sparrow.

With a soft "puff" sound, the sparrow was knocked off the branch in an instant, but soon flapped its wings and flew away.

Erlang Shen immediately put away his slingshot, removed his sword, then transformed himself into a hawk and swooped down towards the sparrow.

At this moment in the Lingxiao Palace, all the gods and saints were smiling when they saw this scene.

"The demon monkey is about to be captured."

"Erlang Xiansheng Zhenjun is indeed extraordinary."

"Yes, you are indeed the Holy Lord Erlang."

Everyone was talking about it. Zhuang Yan looked into the Haotian Mirror and saw that Sun Wukong and Erlang Shen were competing in the method of transformation. The fight was truly exciting.

However, although the Haotian Mirror can observe the scene, if there is any change in Sun Wukong or Erlang Shen, the gods and saints will not be able to see it with the Haotian Mirror alone.

Only after Erlang Shen saw through Sun Wukong's transformation did everyone understand.

At this time, Sun Wukong turned into a temple, but this time not only Erlang Shen, but many gods in the temple realized that there was something wrong with this temple.

Finally, Erlang Shen saw through Sun Wukong's transformation again and was about to destroy the temple, but Sun Wukong escaped.

Inside the Haotian Mirror, the gods and saints only saw Sun Wukong disappear again, while Erlang Shen came back to ask the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King.

The Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King only took the magic mirror and said, "The demon monkey is heading towards your Guanjiangkou."

Erlang Shen immediately returned to the Guanjiangkou Temple. As soon as he entered the temple, he saw the ghost judges shouting in surprise, "Just now, an Erlang Grandpa came, and here comes another Erlang Grandpa."

When Erlang Shen heard this, he asked, "Has the Great Sage Equaling Heaven come?"

At this time, a loud shout came from the temple: "Stop shouting, this temple already belongs to the surname Sun." As soon as the words fell, Sun Wukong was seen coming out with his stick in hand.

Erlang Shen immediately rushed up to fight, and the two of them fought from the ground to the sky, from Nanzhanbuzhou back to Dongsheng Shenzhou, and from Dongsheng Shenzhou back to Huaguo Mountain.

When the Heavenly King Tuotuo and the other heavenly generals saw that Sun Wukong had come back to attack them again, they immediately became more cautious.

The Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King held up a magic mirror and shone it closely on Sun Wukong. At this time, the Six Sages of Meishan arrived and together with Erlang Shen surrounded Sun Wukong.

At this time, in the Lingxiao Palace, Guanyin Bodhisattva looked at the battle situation in the Haotian Mirror and said, "Now Erlang Shen has surrounded the demon monkey. I will lend him a helping hand and will definitely catch the demon monkey."

The Supreme Lord asked: "What weapons does the Bodhisattva have? How can I help him?"

Guanyin Bodhisattva said: "I will throw the pure bottle and willow tree down to hit the monkey's head. Even if it can't kill it, it can at least make it fall down. Then Erlang Xiaosheng can catch the monkey."

Taishang Laojun said with a smile: "Your bottle is a porcelain. It will be good if you hit his head. If you miss the target and hit the iron rod, won't it break? Don't do it. Wait for me, Laojun, to help Erlang."

Guanyin Bodhisattva asked: "What weapons does Laojun have?"

The Supreme Lord Laozi took out the diamond bracelet and said, "This weapon is made of refined Kun steel. I used the elixir to make it spiritual. It can change into different shapes. It is invulnerable to water and fire. It can cover all kinds of objects. It is called 'Vajra Cutter'. When I passed Hangu Pass, I turned the barbarians into Buddhas. I did him a great disservice. You'd better protect yourself in the morning and evening. Let me throw it down to hit him."

After saying that, Taishang Laojun took the Vajra Cutter and threw it out of the Lingxiao Palace.

The Vajra Cutter flew all the way out of the South Heaven Gate, then descended from the thirty-three heavens and smashed straight into Sun Wukong's head.

When Zhuang Yan saw Taishang Laojun and Guanyin Bodhisattva talking, he knew that the two were about to take action.

However, the gods and saints watched as the Vajra was about to hit Sun Wukong on the head, but unexpectedly, Sun Wukong suddenly moved to the side and perfectly avoided the blow of the Vajra.

Zhuang Yan in the immortal class smiled calmly. It turned out that when he was under the order of the Jade Emperor to supervise the exchange of hostages, he had already added the 'dodge' state to Sun Wukong. At this moment, he just sensed the danger and the dodge state was activated by itself.

"Huh?!" The Taishang Laojun was really shocked when he saw this scene, "How did he avoid my diamond cutter?"

You should know that a powerful magic weapon doesn't aim at you on the head, but it first locks you with the magic weapon and then hits you.

But Sun Wukong avoided the Vajra, which made Laojun extremely surprised.

But what surprised him even more was yet to come. Sun Wukong found that his body suddenly dodged, and when he was surprised, he saw a Vajra falling beside him.

He immediately realized that someone was attacking him. Sun Wukong was furious and grabbed the diamond cutter and said angrily: "Which despicable person dared to attack him like this?"

The moment he saw Sun Wukong grab the Vajra, Taishang Laojun's face changed, and then he stood there expressionlessly, as if it had nothing to do with him.

At this time Erlang Shen and the Six Saints of Meishan attacked Sun Wukong again. Sun Wukong looked at the three-pointed, two-edged spear in front of him and immediately caught it with his golden cudgel, and then used the diamond cutter to block the weapons of the Six Saints of Meishan.

This block was incredible. The diamond cutter suddenly emitted a golden light, and then the weapons of the Six Saints of Meishan all flew out of their hands and were collected by the diamond cutter. The Six Saints of Meishan were horrified, and Sun Wukong was also surprised. After a moment, he laughed out loud, "I thought it was some despicable villain who attacked me, but it turned out to be God helping me."

After saying that, Sun Wukong took a step back, raised the Vajra and threw it towards Erlang Shen. The next moment, the three-pointed double-edged spear in Erlang Shen's hand flew out instantly, and even the slingshot at his waist flew out as well, and was then taken away by the Vajra.

The situation suddenly changed. Sun Wukong grabbed the Vajra tightly, then pulled out his monkey hair and transformed himself into thousands of clones, surrounding Erlang Shen and the Six Saints of Meishan.

Then he rushed straight to the Heaven to kill the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King and a hundred thousand heavenly soldiers and generals. The hundred thousand heavenly soldiers and generals were shocked and rushed to fight them.

At this time Sun Wukong threw up the Vajra, and with a flash of golden light, the weapons and magic treasures of the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, Nezha, the Four Heavenly Kings, the Twelve Yuanchen, the Twenty-eight Constellations and hundreds of thousands of heavenly soldiers and generals were all collected by the Vajra.

This time the Heavenly Palace was defeated. Sun Wukong laughed heartily, immediately launched himself into the somersault cloud, swung his golden cudgel, and headed straight for the thirty-third heaven.

"Not good." The Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King who was watching this scene from below murmured, "This is going to be a disaster."

After saying this, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King didn't care about anything else and took his heavenly soldiers and generals straight up to the heaven to chase after Sun Wukong.

Below, Erlang Shen used his magic power to get rid of the monkey-hair clone, leaving the Six Saints of Meishan to deal with it, while he himself rode a cloud and flew up to the sky.

At this time, Sun Wukong had already arrived outside the South Gate of Daluo Heaven. The heavenly soldiers and generals guarding the gate were no match for him and were knocked down in an instant.

At this moment, the Lingxiao Palace was in chaos. All the gods and saints were horrified when they saw Sun Wukong fighting up to the sky.

At this time, the Jade Emperor asked, "My fellow immortals, is there any way to subdue the demon monkey?"

The Lingxiao Palace became silent for a moment, and at this time, Guanyin Bodhisattva said: "Your Majesty, please let this poor monk's pure bottle and willow give it another try."

The Jade Emperor nodded and said, "Okay, let the Bodhisattva use his magic power."

Guanyin Bodhisattva picked up the jade bottle in her hand, then pointed it at Sun Wukong and threw it out.

The pure bottle flew to the top of Sun Wukong's head in a moment, and then smashed down while he was fighting with the heavenly general guarding the gate.

But just like the Vajra, Sun Wukong dodged the bottle again. Sun Wukong was a little surprised. Coming again?

When he turned around, he saw a willow bottle falling on the ground behind him. Without saying a word, Sun Wukong swung his stick and smashed it down. With a "bang", the bottle was smashed to pieces in an instant.

Inside the Lingxiao Palace, Guanyin Bodhisattva frowned and said, "How strange! How did he avoid it? What a pity for my precious jing ping."

Taishang Laojun smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will make another one for you later."

Guanyin Bodhisattva looked at Taishang Laojun with her wonderful eyes, then nodded and said, "Thank you very much, Laojun."

Seeing that Guanyin Bodhisattva's trick had also failed, the gods and immortals became even more panicked. Would they have to face the calamity today? Could they just run away now?

At this moment, the Jade Emperor and other high-ranking emperors remained extremely calm. The Jade Emperor asked again, "Which immortal is there to stop the demon monkey?"

All the immortals and gods retreated at once, and only two figures stood out. The Jade Emperor looked carefully and saw that one was Wang Lingguan and the other was Zhuang Yan.

Wang Lingguan was holding a golden whip and said, "I am willing to stop the monkey. When Erlang Zhenjun and the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King arrive, we will capture them together."

Zhuang Yan said, "Respectfully, Great Celestial Lord, I have a way to subdue the evil monkey."

Hearing this, the Jade Emperor, all the emperors, all the gods, immortals, and saints, as well as all the Taoist masters and Buddhist bodhisattvas all looked at him, and the emotions expressed in their eyes were different.

Guanyin Bodhisattva looked at Zhuang Yan with some suspicion, but Taishang Laojun suddenly said: "Your Majesty, I also recommend Lingtai Dongming Jun, he will definitely be able to subdue the demon monkey."

The Jade Emperor was somewhat surprised when he heard this. He asked Zhuang Yan, "Zhuang Yan, are you sure you can subdue the demon monkey?"

Zhuang Yan said, "If I cannot do this, I will accept the punishment from Heaven."

The Jade Emperor smiled and said, "Okay, but if you can't subdue the monkey demon, I won't punish you. Just do what you can and take care of yourself."

Zhuang Yan bowed and said, "I obey your command." After that, he bid farewell to the Jade Emperor, turned around and walked out of the Lingxiao Palace, heading straight for the South Heavenly Gate.

Wang Lingguan looked at Zhuang Yan's departing back, a hint of doubt appeared in his eyes, and then he retreated back to the immortal class.

At this time, Sun Wukong had been blocked at the South Heaven Gate by the heavenly soldiers and generals, while Erlang Shen, Tota-Bearing Heavenly King, Nezha and others had also arrived from behind.

It's just that without their weapons and magic treasures, everyone could not withstand the sharpness of Sun Wukong's golden cudgel. It was all thanks to Erlang Shen's magical powers that he was able to fight Sun Wukong to a draw with his bare hands.

Just as the gods surrounded Sun Wukong and tried to contain him in a fierce battle, a ray of fairy light suddenly flew over.

When the fairy light stopped, Zhuang Yan showed up. The next moment, he reached out from his sleeve and took out a pottery jar. Then he shouted to the people below, "Monster monkey, I'm here to capture you."

Hearing the real voice, the heavenly soldiers and generals below raised their heads and looked towards Zhuang Yan. Erlang Shen also looked towards Zhuang Yan from a distance, thinking to himself, "Isn't this the angel? How come he has magical powers too?"

When Sun Wukong heard the voice, he trembled all over and without saying a word, he used his somersault cloud to escape.

Zhuang Yan had already pointed the pottery jar at Sun Wukong, and then shouted "Collect". The next moment, everything changed, and Sun Wukong instantly turned into a white light and was collected into the pottery jar.

At this moment, the world became quiet.

Everything in the Lingxiao Palace was silent. After a long while, the old immortals burst into exclamation: "The demon monkey has been captured."

However, the Jade Emperor and other high-ranking emperors in Heaven were extremely shocked. They had already known the capabilities of Sun Wukong after several battles, and Heaven had not let him off at all.

But Sun Wukong, who was difficult to capture even with a hundred thousand heavenly soldiers and Erlang Shen, was captured by Zhuang Yan with just a pottery jar!
The other gods in heaven were even more shocked, their shock far exceeded their surprise at catching the demon monkey.

At this time, Taishang Laojun smiled and said to Guanyin Bodhisattva: "Bodhisattva, the person you recommended is very capable, and the person I recommended is not much less capable, right?"

Guanyin Bodhisattva smiled bitterly and said, "I was wrong. The person you recommended, Laojun, is already one of the best in the Three Realms."

Although she had heard of Zhuang Yan's power from Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva and Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, she never expected him to be so powerful.

“Hahahaha.” When Taishang Laojun heard what Guanyin Bodhisattva said, he stroked his long beard and laughed out loud, with a smug look on his face.
