I am a fairy in Journey to the West

Chapter 36: Bodhisattva conveys the Buddha's will and obtains the precious glass lamp

There were colorful auspicious clouds and vast golden energy, and a ray of Buddha's light fell directly into the Danchi Ridge of Lingtai Mountain.

A dignified woman in a white robe appeared in front of the mountain temple. She glanced at the temple, then smiled at the Fire Spirit Immortal on the roof and said, "You are the Fire Spirit Immortal, right?"

Fire Spirit Immortal sat up immediately and looked at the woman in confusion, "It's me, who is you, fellow Taoist?"

"Amitabha." The woman bowed with a smile and said, "I am the master of Tianren Temple in the Western Paradise, and my Buddhist name is Zhunti."

"Oh my." Fire Spirit Immortal quickly jumped down from the roof, came to the front of Zhunti Buddha Mother and bowed, "So it's the Bodhisattva's Dharma Vehicle, I am sorry for the impoliteness."

Zhunti Buddha Mother smiled faintly, and then asked: "Is the Lingtai Mountain God at home?"

The Fire Spirit Immortal pointed at the building on the top of the mountain and said, "Replying to the Bodhisattva, the Mountain King is in the Eight Immortals Pavilion."

Upon hearing this, Cundi Buddha was slightly surprised and said, "Eight Immortals Pavilion?" Then she looked towards the top of the mountain.

Fire Spirit Immortal nodded and said, "Yes, the Eight Immortals from Shangdong came to visit us last time. Because the mountain temple is small and there is no room for guests, Li Xuan Zhenren built a spiritual pavilion here and named it the Eight Immortals Pavilion."

“So that’s how it is.” said Cundi Buddha Mother nodded.

The Fire Spirit Immortal extended his hand and said, "The Bodhisattva will go up there. The mountain king will practice in the pavilion."

"Okay." Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva nodded with a smile, then flew to the Eight Immortals Pavilion on auspicious clouds.

Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva sensed Zhuang Yan's energy and went straight to the third floor of the Eight Immortals Pavilion, where she saw Zhuang Yan sitting cross-legged on the circular corridor outside the pavilion, facing the 300-li Lingtai Mountains.

"Mountain God, you feel so free." said Cundi Buddha Mother with a smile.

Zhuang Yan opened his eyes and turned around, then stood up and said with a smile, "It turned out to be Guanyin Bodhisattva. I am sorry that I did not come to greet you."

Guanyin Bodhisattva bowed eleven times and said, "I came here without permission and disturbed the mountain god's meditation. This is a sin."

Zhuang Yan walked into the attic with a smile and invited Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva to take a seat.

The two of them sat down in the pavilion. Zhuang Yan looked at the Bodhisattva Cundi and said, "If my guess is correct, the Bodhisattva came here for Master Tianmiao, right?"

Guanyin Bodhisattva smiled slightly, nodded and said, "That's right. I was entrusted by Dingguang Tathagata Buddha to come and discuss with the mountain god about how to deal with Master Tianmiao."

Zhuang Yan asked, "How does the Ancient Buddha Dingguang want to deal with Master Tianmiao?"

Bodhisattva Cundi said: "This Master Tianmiao is a disciple of Dingguang Tathagata. He has been tempted by worldly desires and has secretly fled to the lower world with Yaochi Golden Girl, which has violated the Buddhist precepts. The Buddha wants me to take him back to the West to deal with him."

At this point, Guanyin Bodhisattva smiled and said, "Of course, thanks to the Lingtai Mountain God for catching this evildoer, Dingguang Tathagata asked me to give this thing to the mountain god as a token of gratitude."

After saying this, Guanyin Bodhisattva immediately took out an ancient, clear, exquisite and delicate glass lamp from her sleeve and said, "This is the Dingguang glass lamp that Dingguang Tathagata used to observe the time before he attained enlightenment. It is an immortal treasure. I am giving it to the mountain god to express my gratitude."

After saying this, Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva used his magical powers to send the glass lamp to Zhuang Yan.

Zhuang Yan looked surprised. He took the Dingguang colored glass lamp and said, "It's just a small thing. How dare I accept such a generous reward from the ancient Buddha?"

Bodhisattva Cundi smiled and said, "The mountain god certainly deserves such a generous reward. Dingguang Tathagata said that this time, first, we want to thank the mountain god for capturing the evil disciple and resolving the crisis between Lingjiu Mountain and Yao Palace. Second, we want to establish a good relationship with the mountain god so that we can have good relations in the future."

"So that's how it is." Zhuang Yan suddenly realized, "If that's the case, then I'd be disrespectful to refuse it."

Guanyin Bodhisattva nodded and smiled, "It should be so. This Dingguang Glazed Lamp has infinite magical uses. Once it is used, it can freeze a certain time at will. It is very powerful."

"Oh?!" Zhuang Yan's expression became serious as he looked at the Dingguang Colored Glass Lamp in his hand. He then immediately turned on the 'Instant Refining' to refine it, and then stored it into the infinite space.

At this moment, Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva felt that the Buddhist energy on the Dingguang glass lamp had completely dissipated, and was replaced by Zhuang Yan's energy. The depths of her eyes shrank slightly, but she regained her composure in an instant.

You should know that this Dingguang Glass Lamp is a magic weapon that has been with the ancient Buddha Rāhula before he attained enlightenment. It is a treasure that has been refined by a Buddha-level figure for billions of years.

It only took Zhuang Yan a moment to erase the original power of the treasure and refine it for his own. This kind of power was really scary, and it was no wonder that the Buddha Mother Cundi was so surprised.

Zhuang Yan smiled and said to the Cundi Buddha Mother: "Please ask the Bodhisattva to thank the Dingguang Ancient Buddha for me."

Guanyin Bodhisattva smiled and said, "Please rest assured, Mountain God. I will definitely convey my gratitude to you."

Zhuang Yan nodded, then handed the pottery jar that sealed Master Tianmiao to the front of the Buddha Mother Cundi, and said, "The one sealed inside is the Master Tianmiao." The Buddha Mother Cundi took the pottery jar, looked inside with her Dharma Eyes, and then put the pottery jar into her sleeve.

Zhuang Yan asked, "Do you need me to give you a talisman to remove the seal?"

The Buddha Mother Cundi smiled and shook her head, saying, "No need."

"Yes." Zhuang Yan nodded. At this time, the Buddha Mother Cundi stood up and said, "Thank you, Mountain God. I'll take my leave now."

"Bodhisattva, are you leaving so soon? How about staying for a meal? I have just sent a message to General Shoushan that I am going hunting, and I will have a barbecue with you later, so that you can also taste my cooking skills." Zhuang Yan invited sincerely.

Zhunti Buddha Mother smiled, put her hands together and chanted "Amitabha", then said: "Thank you for your kindness, Mountain God. I have to go back and report, so I won't stay any longer."

After saying this, the Buddha Mother Cundi was seen flying out of the Eight Immortals Pavilion on auspicious clouds, and disappeared in the western sky in the blink of an eye.

Watching the Buddha Mother Cundi leave, Zhuang Yan took out the Dingguang glass lamp.

At this time, a hawk was flying in the sky outside the Eight Immortals Pavilion. Zhuang Yan immediately raised the Dingguang colored glass lamp and said, "Ding."

A dim Buddha light flashed on the Dingguang glass lamp, and the next moment the goshawk froze in the sky from its high-speed flight, and even the surrounding clouds stopped flowing.

Zhuang Yan immediately flew forward and saw that the time around the goshawk was completely solidified. The goshawk was sealed in the solidified time and was no longer affected by the passage of time in the outside world.

But it itself also stayed at the moment when time was solidified. If Zhuang Yan did not release the power of the magic weapon, he would always stay in the moment when time was solidified.

Zhuang Yan smiled faintly, and withdrew his magic power with a thought. In an instant, the goshawk regained its freedom, flapped its wings and soared into the sky.

It didn't notice anything unusual, but it felt that the moment of flapping its wings seemed to have lasted a long time, but also seemed to have been just a moment.

Zhuang Yan put away the Dingguang glass lamp with satisfaction, then flew and landed in front of the mountain god temple.

At this time, the Fire Spirit Immortal had already killed two deer and a few pheasants and came back, saying, "Shan Jun, is this enough?"

Zhuang Yan smiled and said, "That's enough, but the guests have already left. You just pick up these things and follow me."

The Fire Spirit Immortal asked doubtfully, "Shan Jun, where are you going?"

Zhuang Yan raised his hand and pointed, "Fangcun Mountain, check on our old friend."

After saying that, Zhuang Yan sacrificed the Thousand Light Cloud Talisman, and with the Fire Spirit Immortal, he turned into a cloud of light and flew into the Fangcun Mountain, and landed directly in front of the mountain gate of the Xieyue Sanxing Cave.

As soon as Zhuang Yan arrived, the disciples who were practicing in front of the mountain gate saw him and came forward to pay their respects, "Greetings to the mountain god."

Zhuang Yan pointed at the fawn and pheasant in the Fire Spirit Immortal's hand and said with a smile, "Take these and cook them for yourselves."

Hearing this, the disciples hurriedly shook their heads and waved their hands, saying, "We dare not, we dare not, the ancestor said that we cannot kill."

The Fire Spirit Immortal said, "I killed these, not you. Take them quickly." As he said that, he threw all the deer and pheasants in his hands over.

The disciples took it one after another, looking confused for a moment, "Did the master ever say that we can't eat meat?"

"I don't think you've said that?"

"Why don't we ask the Grandmaster?"

At this time, the boy Xianyun came out and said to everyone: "The master allows you to eat meat, but after eating, you need to purify your mind and cultivate your mouth for seven days and seven nights."

Hearing this, the disciples immediately perked up and bowed, saying, "Yes, we will follow the master's instructions."

Then everyone thanked Zhuang Yan again, and then went downstairs carrying the deer and pheasants.

At this time, Xianyun Tongzi stepped forward quickly and bowed to Zhuang Yan, saying, "The ancestor ordered me to come and welcome Shanjun. Shanjun, please come in."

Zhuang Yan nodded, and then brought the Fire Spirit Immortal and the Boy Xianyun into the Slanting Moon Three Stars Cave.
