I am a fairy in Journey to the West

Chapter 204: Another difficulty on the journey to the west, the beloved daughter seeks medical treatment outside the city
Guanyin Bodhisattva descended from auspicious clouds and landed directly in front of Sun Wukong. The four Bodhisattvas Manjusri, Samantabhadra, Mahasthamaprapta and Peacock King also descended from the clouds.

"Venerable Guanyin." The four Bodhisattvas smiled and bowed to Guanyin Bodhisattva eleven times, then asked, "Where did Venerable Guanyin go?"

Bodhisattva Guanyin smiled and said, "When I was coming from the South Sea to Xiniu Hezhou, I met Lingtai Zhenjun on the way. He invited me to sit in his mansion for a while. Because of the battle between you just now, I was moved, so I rushed over."

"So that's how it is." The four Bodhisattvas suddenly realized.

Sun Wukong stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Bodhisattva, this monster pretended to be you and deceived me. She also captured Master and my fellow disciples, and even the monk Hui'an. I was about to kill her just now, why did Bodhisattva stop me?"

Guanyin Bodhisattva smiled and said, "Wukong, you don't know that she is the incarnation of the Buddha and the devil."

"The incarnation of Buddha or devil?" Sun Wukong was puzzled and puzzled. Even the four Bodhisattvas looked at Guanyin Bodhisattva in confusion.

Bodhisattva Guanyin said: "Hundreds of years ago, when the Buddha-Devil Catastrophe began, I used my great magical power to foresee the future, cut off the Buddha-Devil body in advance, and made it manifest. Over the years, it has been sealed in Lingtai Mountain by Lingtai Zhenjun. Later, the residual soul of Taoist friend Wangshu, the ancient moon god, appeared in the world and was saved by Lingtai Zhenjun. After that, it merged with my Buddha-Devil body and took on this appearance."

"So that's how it is." Samantabhadra Bodhisattva smiled and said, "No wonder we couldn't tell the real Guanyin from the fake one. It turns out that she is the incarnation of Buddha and devil. Just now I saw her true face and found that her soul and body are different. I thought that you were in trouble with devil."

Guanyin Bodhisattva smiled slightly, then asked Wangshu who was lying in the big pit next to him: "Is Daoist friend okay?"

The moonlight was flowing on Wangshu's body, and his wounds were slowly healing. When he saw Guanyin Bodhisattva asking him questions, he climbed up from the ground with a grimace.

"Hiss" Wangshu took a breath of cold air, then waved his hand and said, "It's okay as long as you're not dead."

Guanyin Bodhisattva smiled, and then Sun Wukong asked: "I heard from the Bodhisattva that you were saved by Lingtai Zhenjun, so why are you pretending to be Guanyin Bodhisattva here, capturing my master and fellow apprentices, and blocking my journey to obtain the scriptures?"

Wangshu smiled and said, "I was originally a sacred being from ancient times. Now I have been resurrected as a residual soul. Naturally, I want to test my skills. So I asked Lingtai Zhenjun who is the best fighter in the three realms."

Sun Wukong asked: "How does Lingtai Zhenjun answer?"

Wangshu said, "Master Lingtai only said, 'Of course it's Sun Wukong? Could it be me?' So I came down the mountain and came here, absorbing the essence of the sun and the moon in the mountains to carve Buddha statues, just to stop you and compete with you."

"Hey!" Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong immediately shook his head and said, "My uncle is so evil, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to find a wife in the future."

Guanyin Bodhisattva smiled and said, "Don't worry about this. Your main task is to help Tang Monk go to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures."

Wangshu asked, "Is your uncle Lingtai Zhenjun?"

Sun Wukong nodded and said, "Not bad."

Wangshu was stunned for a moment, then asked, "No, no! Lingtai Zhenjun is a human being, how can he be uncle and nephew to a monkey like you?"

Sun Wukong said: "If they are not relatives in the beginning, then we cannot recognize them in the future?"

"Oh." Wangshu suddenly realized, then smiled, bowed to Sun Wukong and said: "The Great Sage Equaling Heaven is indeed worthy of his reputation, his great power is invincible in the three realms, I am really impressed. But I hope I have offended you this time, please forgive me."

After saying this, Wangshu bowed deeply.

When Sun Wukong heard this, his anger instantly subsided. He waved his hand and said, "Since you have no ill intentions and just want to compete with me, you didn't hurt my master and fellow disciples. I am not a petty person, so let's just forget about this."

Wangshu heard this and said, "Thank you, Great Sage."

After saying this, Wangshu immediately waved his hand to remove the barrier of the Buddha Cave, and then said to Sun Wukong: "Great Sage, Elder Tang, Traveler Hui'an and your three fellow apprentices are all in the Buddha Cave, you can go find them."

"Okay." Sun Wukong nodded, then put away his golden cudgel and flew into the air.

After Sun Wukong left, Wangshu immediately bowed to the four Bodhisattvas, Manjusri, Samantabhadra, Mahasthamaprapta, and Peacock King, and said, "Four Bodhisattvas, I apologize for any offense I caused you."

The four Bodhisattvas smiled and said, "No problem."

Then Wangshu bowed to Guanyin Bodhisattva to thank him and confess his sins. Guanyin Bodhisattva did not find it strange, but smiled and asked: "Daoyou, where are you going now that you have finished your business here?"

Wangshu thought for a moment, then bowed and said, "Please tell me where Lingtai Zhenjun is, Bodhisattva. I will go to him."

Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara smiled and said, "Outside the city of Chang'an in the Southern Continent, in the Humble Immortal Garden."

Upon hearing this, Wangshu bowed again and said, "Thank you, Bodhisattva."

After saying this, Wangshu took a step back, bowed to the four people including Guanyin Bodhisattva, and said, "My fellow Bodhisattvas, I am leaving now."

The Peacock King Bodhisattva laughed and said, "Are you in such a hurry to leave? Aren't you going to wait for Tang Sanzang and the others to come out?"

“No, no.” Wangshu waved his hands and smiled quickly. Then he bid farewell to the five Bodhisattvas, stepped on the blue clouds and soared into the sky. In a moment, he flew up to the sky and turned into a ray of fairy light and went straight to Jambu Continent in the south.

After Wangshu left, Hui'an Xingzhe flew down from the Buddhist cave first and immediately went forward to pay respect to Guanyin Bodhisattva, "Master."

Guanyin smiled and said, "You're not hurt?"

Hui An Xingzhe had already learned what happened from Sun Wukong. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "No, I was not hurt. That person did not harm my disciple."

Guanyin Bodhisattva nodded and said, "Then you should go back to the South Sea and take good care of the temple."

"I will take my leave as per the order of the Dharma." With that, Hui An bowed to Guanyin Bodhisattva and the other four Bodhisattvas and then rode his cloud back to Luojia Mountain in the South China Sea. Afterwards, Guanyin Bodhisattva and the four Bodhisattvas rode their auspicious clouds and flew up to the sky. It happened that Sun Wukong and his companions flew down with Tang Monk. After landing on the ground, Tang Monk immediately took his disciples to pay respects to the five Bodhisattvas.

"Disciple Xuanzang, thank you all Bodhisattvas for helping me solve my problems." Tang Seng said after paying great respects.

Guanyin Bodhisattva smiled and said, "Sanzang, although the journey to obtain the scriptures is full of hardships, it is also a test. You must persevere, always observe the precepts, and always maintain the Buddha's heart. I wish you can reach Lingshan as soon as possible and obtain the true scriptures."

Tang Sanzang bowed and said, "Disciple will follow the Bodhisattva's teachings."

Then, Guanyin Bodhisattva instructed Sun Wukong, Xiao Bailong, Zhu Bajie and Monk Sha one by one, asking them to wholeheartedly protect Tang Monk in his journey to obtain the scriptures, and that he would surely gain the right result in the future.

The four of them bowed and said, "We will remember the Bodhisattva's true words."

Afterwards, Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, together with the four Bodhisattvas Manjusri, Samantabhadra, Mahasthamaprapta and the Peacock King, rose up on the auspicious clouds and went straight to Lingshan.

Chang'an City, Yingguogong Mansion.

Yang looked at the doctor who was shaking his head and sighing in front of her, her body trembled slightly, and tears immediately flowed out uncontrollably.

This doctor has an immortal appearance, white hair and a youthful face. He is dressed in a Taoist robe that is clean and bright, and has a compassionate look on his face.

"Doctor Sun, can my young lady still be saved?" asked the housekeeper at the side.

Doctor Sun shook his head again, and then said to Yang: "Your daughter's illness is not an ordinary one. Alas, there is no cure."

"Is there really no hope?" Yang wiped her tears and said, "She is only seven years old. Doctor Sun, you are the most famous doctor in our Tang Dynasty. You must have a way, right?"

Sun Simiao stroked his long beard and said after a moment: "To be honest, I think your daughter has an evil spirit on her face and her spirit is blocked. This is a symptom of 'soul oppression'. You need to find a master to treat her."

"Soul-suppressing disease." Yang murmured.

The housekeeper at the side asked, "Sir, do you want to ask a Taoist priest or a monk to perform a ritual?"

Sun Simiao said: "The soul-suppressing disease is not caused by evil spirits, but by a spirit that is suppressing your daughter's soul. Setting up an altar and performing rituals will not work. We need to find a Taoist master to treat her."

Upon hearing this, Yang asked hurriedly, "Sir, you are a great man of virtue. If you can cure my daughter, I will accept any amount of gold and silver."

Sun Simiao smiled and said, "Madam, you have misunderstood. This is not about gold, silver or money, and I am not some kind of expert."

At this point, Sun Simiao hesitated for a moment and said, "How about this, I do know where there is a master, you can take your daughter to visit him, if your daughter is not destined to die, the master will be able to save her."

Hearing this, Yang hurriedly bowed and said, "Please give me some advice, sir."

Sun Simiao smiled and said, "There is a master living in Fengwanlin Zhuoxianyuan outside the northern suburbs of Chang'an City. I received his guidance on Taoism a few days ago and benefited a lot. He must have the ability to save your daughter."

Upon hearing this, Yang could not help but thank him repeatedly, and then ordered someone to bring one thousand taels of silver to present to Sun Simiao.

Seeing this, Sun Simiao raised his hand to block it and said, "No merit, no reward. I will not accept this money until I cure your illness. Goodbye."

After saying this, Sun Simiao bowed and said goodbye, then turned and left.

Watching Sun Simiao leave, Yang sighed, "What a noble man!" Then she immediately ordered the servants to prepare the carriage, and then called a few maids and said, "Quick, go and carry Zhao'er to the carriage, we will leave the city now."

The maids quickly obeyed the order and walked quickly towards the boudoir of the young lady named Zhao'er.

Soon, Yang brought the unconscious young lady onto the carriage, accompanied by four servants and two maids, while the housekeeper stayed in the mansion to take care of household affairs.

There was an exquisite lantern on each corner of the carriage, with the words "Yingguogongfu, Wu" written on the lantern.

As the carriage drove out of Chang'an City and headed north of the city, after traveling about thirty-six miles, it finally arrived at the maple forest. After walking in the forest for a while, it finally arrived at a quiet, elegant, simple and grand villa.

After receiving the report from the servant, Yang immediately got off the carriage, came to the villa and looked up. Sure enough, she saw three big words written on the plaque of the villa: Zhuoxian Garden.

Yang said excitedly, "Zhuoxian Garden, this is what Mr. Sun said. It is indeed a place where the masters live in seclusion. It really has an air of immortality."

At this time, a servant came forward and said, "Madam, I will go and knock on the door."

"Wait a minute, don't offend the master, I'll come in person." Yang quickly stopped the servant, then straightened her clothes and appearance, and then walked forward with a serious face. Although the main gate of the villa was wide open, Yang still came to the door and bowed, saying: "Yingguogong Mansion, widow Yang, specially came to see the master, begging for the grace of the master to see me, I will be grateful."

In the library of Zhuoxian Garden, Zhuang Yan said to Wangshu who was making lanterns nearby, "Someone is coming. Go and receive them."

Wangshu looked up at Zhuang Yan who was engraving the jade slips and said, "Can you hire some maids? Why do you always ask me to do everything?"

Zhuang Yan said without even looking up: "Go quickly, don't keep them waiting."

Wangshu had no choice but to stand up and say, "Oh, then don't touch my lantern. I worked so hard to make it so exquisite, and it's still halfway done."

After saying that, Wangshu walked out of the study, passed through the corridor and courtyard, and came to the main gate of the villa.
