I am a fairy in Journey to the West

Juezhen ran wildly, panting heavily, while behind him was a group of Rakshasa ghost soldiers wielding sharp blades.

The Rakshasa soldiers relentlessly pursued Juezhen, but Juezhen had cultivated with Bodhi Patriarch on Fangcun Mountain for so many years that he possessed some magical power.

Jue Zhen ran swiftly, his feet barely touching the ground. Although he couldn't quite reach Pei Jue's level of flying through the wind, he still managed to keep up with the Rakshasa ghost soldiers for a while.

Seeing that Juezhen was running faster and faster, the leading Rakshasa demon general suddenly stopped and shouted, "Who has a gun?"

"I have it!" A Rakshasa soldier quickly handed his spear to the Rakshasa general, who then threw it at Juezhen.

With a loud 'whoosh', the spear sliced ​​through the sky and then pierced Juezhen's thigh with a 'thud'.

Juezhen let out a scream and fell to the ground, landing face down several feet.

Seeing this, the Rakshasa demon general said with regret, "Aiming at the back and the leg, the accuracy is still a bit lacking."

After saying this, a group of Rakshasa demon soldiers rushed forward. Juezhen looked back and a wave of despair washed over him.

'Om'

Suddenly, a whooshing sound rang out, followed by an iron spear flying through the air, instantly killing two Rakshasa soldiers charging at the forefront.

Then a figure flew over, and Pei Jue grabbed the handle of the black iron spear and pulled it out. He then stepped forward and wielded the spear like the wind, knocking all the Rakshasa ghost soldiers to the ground in a few moves.

In the blink of an eye, dozens of Rakshasa soldiers lay on the ground, leaving only the Rakshasa general standing there.

Pei Jue said, "I'll protect this person."

With a whoosh, a blade of light slashed straight down. Pei Jue raised an eyebrow and swiftly thrust his spear forward.

With a clang of metal clashing, Pei Jue's arms trembled, but he quickly stepped forward and swept his spear, sending the Rakshasa ghost general flying with a single blow.

The Rakshasa demon general crashed to the ground and rolled more than ten steps away. He got up and shouted at Pei Jue, "We are here to capture this person on the orders of Bodhisattva Rahu. What kind of demon are you that you dare to obstruct our actions?"

Pei Jue angrily said, "I am the City God of Puyu. The plague-ridden Rakshasa demon has robbed my temple, and you, a mere lackey, dare to bark here."

After saying that, Pei Jue took a leap and flew away, his long spear thrusting repeatedly. First, he knocked the ghost-headed saber out of the Rakshasa Ghost General's hand, then he pierced the Rakshasa Ghost General's shoulder with another spear thrust, and then he sent him flying dozens of feet away.

Then Pei Jue turned around and walked to Jue Zhen's side. He first pulled out the spear from Jue Zhen's leg, used a strip of cloth to bind the wound, and then picked Jue Zhen up and flew away on the breeze.

Perched on Pei Jue's shoulder, Juezhen endured the excruciating pain in her leg and asked, "Thank you for saving my life, young lady. May I ask your name?"

"You're welcome. My name is Pei Jue," Pei Jue said.

Juezhen said, "So it's Miss Pei. Where are you taking me, Miss Pei?"

Pei Jue said, "Someone sent me to rescue you." With that, he flew into a mountain range.

Jue Zhen felt strange, hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "May I ask, who sent you to save me, young lady?"

Pei Jue said, "You'll know when we get there."

As he spoke, Pei Jue descended on the wind and soon landed outside a Taoist temple on a mountaintop.

Juezhen looked up and saw three large characters written on the plaque above the Taoist temple gate: Peach Blossom Temple.

Pei Jue carried Jue Zhen into the Peach Blossom Temple. After passing the screen wall, they saw three people sitting in the courtyard, two of whom were wearing Taoist robes.

"The person has been rescued." Pei Jue put Juezhen on the ground and then came to Zhuang Yan to say.

Zhuang Yan chuckled and handed a Taoist manual to Pei Jue, saying, "This is the cultivation method of 'Piercing Stars and Dippers'."

Pei Jue quickly took the Taoist manual, his face filled with excitement, and said, "Where did you get these assignments from? How did you manage to obtain such a high-grade Taoist manual?"

"I have my own connections, so you don't need to ask so many questions," Zhuang Yan said with a smile.

Pei Jue said, "You're getting more and more mysterious. Fine, I won't ask. You guys chat, I'm going to practice my cultivation technique first."

After speaking, Pei Jue bowed to the two Taoist priests beside him and then went to the backyard.

After Pei Jue left, Zhuang Yan stepped forward and cast a 'self-healing' status on Jue Zhen.

Just ten breaths later, Juezhen's leg injury was completely healed, leaving no scar.

Juezhen stood up with a look of surprise on his face, and first bowed to Zhuang Yan and the two Taoists, saying, "I am Juezhen. Thank you for saving my life, three immortal masters. May I ask your names?"

The Taoist priest on the left said, "I am Yuan Tiangang."

Another Taoist priest smiled and said, "This humble Taoist is Li Chunfeng."

It turns out that these two men were Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng. After killing the Tang princess, they fled all the way to Xiniu Hezhou and finally settled down in Peach Blossom Mountain, where they built this Peach Blossom Temple.

Zhuang Yan then smiled and said, "You can call me Lao Zhuang."

Juezhen found it strange, but he still paid his respects to everyone. However, when he saw Zhuang Yan's face clearly, he was greatly surprised.

"What's wrong?" Zhuang Yan asked with a smile.

Juezhen murmured, "Mr. Zhuang looks a lot like one of my senior disciples."

"Really?" Zhuang Yan chuckled. "How similar?"

“Except for the clothes and makeup, everything else is exactly the same.” Juezhen looked incredulous.

Zhuang Yan slowly sat down, while Li Chunfeng said, "Is it possible that, since they look exactly alike, he is your senior from your sect?"

Juezhen suddenly jolted awake, turned her gaze to Zhuang Yan, and then knelt down with a thud. "You...you are really the Ancestor of Lingtai?"

Zhuang Yan looked at Juezhen and said, "Fellow Daoist Bodhi gave you half a month to go down the mountain and save your family. Have you saved them?"

Upon hearing this, Juezhen had no more doubts about Zhuang Yan's identity. He immediately kowtowed three times and said, "Reporting to the Lingtai Patriarch, he has been saved."

Zhuang Yan then asked, "Why didn't you go back to the mountain after you rescued them?"

Juezhen said with a face full of shame, "This disciple cannot let go of his parents and relatives, and is attached to the mortal world. I have failed my master's teachings."

Zhuang Yan shook his head and said, "When you left home to seek the Dao on the mountain, you showed perseverance and determination. But now you've come down the mountain halfway through, and before you've perfected your Daoist practices, you've become attached to the human world. You can't have it both ways, and you'll surely face retribution in the future."

Upon hearing this, Juezhen's expression changed drastically, and he quickly kowtowed to Juezhen, saying, "Please, Patriarch Lingtai, enlighten this disciple."

Zhuang Yan said, "Since you have failed Bodhi, your teacher, then you should no longer call me Patriarch."

Juezhen hurriedly kowtowed and said, "Disciple knows his mistake, please punish me, Ancestral Master."

Zhuang Yan waved his hand and said, "If you go down the mountain and don't return, you will have severed your master-disciple relationship with Fellow Daoist Bodhi. Even if you change your mind, you will not be able to return to the mountain. You must take care of yourself from now on. The reason I saved you today is to settle the karmic debt between you and Fellow Daoist Bodhi."

Upon hearing this, Juezhen instantly slumped.

Then Zhuang Yan pointed to his back and asked, "What are you carrying on your back?"

When Juezhen saw Zhuang Yan asking a question, he immediately roused himself, took off his backpack and opened it. Instantly, three golden rays of Buddha light shone out.

Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang looked closely and exclaimed in surprise, "A relic?"

Juezhen nodded and said, "That's right. These three relics belong to the three Venerable Ones: Vajrapani, Hariti, and Sanzhi. The reason why those Rakshasa ghost soldiers were chasing me was because of these relics."

Yuan Tiangang said, "With your meager magical power, you were able to collect the relics of the three Venerables right under the nose of the Rakshasa Demon. That's truly remarkable." Juezhen said, "The divination techniques I cultivate are perfect for detecting hidden secrets. After the three Venerables perished, their relics were hidden in Puyu City, which I collected one by one. However, I was unfortunately discovered by the Rakshasa Demon and had to hastily flee outside the city."

"Then aren't your parents and family trapped in the city?" Li Chunfeng asked.

Juezhen sighed, his voice filled with worry, and said, "The situation was urgent at the time, and we couldn't think of anything else. We only knew that we absolutely couldn't let the relic fall into the hands of the Rakshasa Demon, but we didn't think about anything else."

"Get up first," Zhuang Yan said.

"Yes, thank you, Ancestor." Juezhen bowed in thanks and then stood up.

Zhuang Yan looked at the three relics on the ground and said to Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang, "Now that we're here, you two should put them away for now."

Yuan Tiangang said, "Isn't this inappropriate? This is a Taoist temple; we can't enshrine relics here."

Li Chunfeng thought for a moment and said, "There's no need to enshrine it. Just put it in a box and store it away."

Yuan Tiangang nodded and said, "Yes, that would be acceptable."

After saying this, Yuan Tiangang took out a wooden box, put the three relics into the box, and then put the box into his sleeve.

At this moment, Li Chunfeng raised his head, did some calculations with his fingers, and suddenly said to Juezhen, "Your parents and family are in danger."

Upon hearing this, Jue Zhen was startled and quickly cast a divination herself, which indeed turned out to be an ominous sign.

Juezhen quickly looked at Zhuang Yan, bowed and said, "I beg the Ancestral Master for mercy."

Zhuang Yan said, "Start your journey to Puyu City now. Fate will take you along the way."

Upon hearing this, Juezhen immediately kowtowed three times to Zhuang Yan and said, "Thank you for your guidance, Master! Juezhen takes his leave."

After saying that, Juezhen channeled his magic power into his feet and then went down the mountain towards the direction of Puyu City.

As Juezhen emerged from the mountains, he saw a woman in white monk's robes, with a pure white hairpin, walking towards him, looking holy and immaculate.

Juezhen blinked and noticed that the woman was surrounded by auspicious light. Recalling Zhuang Yan's words, Juezhen quickly stood up, cupped his hands, and bowed, saying, "This humble cultivator, Juezhen, greets the Immortal."

The woman put her hands together, chanted "Amitabha," and then said to Juezhen, "Why do you have the aura of Buddhist relics on you, young friend?"

Upon hearing this, Juezhen immediately knelt down and bowed, asking, "May I ask which Bodhisattva has arrived?"

The woman smiled and said, "My Buddhist name is 'Zhunti'."

Juezhen's mind exploded, and he hurriedly bowed and said, "This humble one greets the Bodhisattva Cundi. In response to the Bodhisattva's question, this humble one previously collected the relics of the three Venerables Vajrapani, Hariti, and Sanzhi and sent them out of Puyu City. Therefore, my body is tainted with the aura of the relics."

Cundi Buddha Mother asked, "Where are the relics of the three Venerable Ones?"

Juezhen pointed towards the mountains and said, "My cultivation is weak and my power is insufficient to protect the relics of the three venerable ones. Therefore, I have entrusted them to the two Daoist priests, Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang, in the Peach Blossom Temple in the mountains for safekeeping."

"Oh? Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang?" The Buddha Mother Zhunti looked slightly surprised, then smiled and said, "Since they have fallen into the hands of these two fellow Daoists, it is the best outcome."

At this point, Cundi Buddha Mother first helped Juezhen up, and then said to Juezhen, "Thank you, young friend, for escorting the relics of the three Venerable Ones out of the city and preventing them from falling into the hands of evil spirits. Your merit is immeasurable."

Juezhen quickly replied, "No, no, I wouldn't dare."

The Buddha Mother Cundi said, "Young friend, do you have any wishes? Tell this humble monk, and this humble monk will surely grant them for you."

Upon hearing this, Juezhen immediately bowed and prayed, "Please, Bodhisattva, save my parents and family. They are trapped in Puyu City and have been implicated because of my escorting of the relics."

Before Juezhen could finish speaking, Cundi Buddha Mother said, "I already know about this matter. Come with me."

After saying this, the Buddha Mother Zhunti reached out and patted Juezhen on the back. In an instant, the scenery changed, and when Juezhen looked again, he was surprised to find himself in his home in Puyu City.

At that moment, in his home, squads of Rakshasa demon soldiers were escorting his family members out.

With a flick of her hand, the Buddha Mother Cundi caused countless lotus flowers to fall from the sky. These lotus flowers emitted a Buddha-light that instantly shone down and killed the Rakshasa demon soldiers.

Then countless lotus flowers fell down, turning into lotus boats that carried Juezhen's family out of Puyu City.

However, Juezhen couldn't find his parents. Just as he was searching everywhere, he suddenly heard a stern shout from ahead, "You unfilial son, you dare to come back?!"

Juezhen hurriedly looked up and then trembled all over. He saw two Rakshasa ghost soldiers in front of him, and their appearances were those of his parents.

"Father, Mother, you!" Juezhen rushed forward, but was pulled back by the Buddha Mother Zhunti.

Juezhen hurriedly said, "Bodhisattva, please save my parents!"

Cundi Buddha Mother shook her head and said, "Your parents have already received the blessing of the Blood Sea and have become Rakshasa demons. Only by destroying their physical bodies can their souls be liberated."

After saying this, a golden lotus flower appeared in the hand of the Cundi Buddha Mother. Juezhen hurriedly said, "Bodhisattva, please wait!"

Seeing Juezhen's reluctant expression, the Buddha Mother Zhunti sighed slightly, waved her hand, and the golden lotus immediately flew out, landing on Juezhen and carrying him out of the city in an instant.

Juezhen's parents charged at Zhunti Buddha Mother with fierce expressions. Zhunti Buddha Mother only blew a breath, and in an instant, Juezhen's parents were engulfed in flames and burned to ashes.

Then, the Buddha Mother Zhunti gently flicked her sleeve and took the souls of Juezhen's parents into it.

At this moment, a streak of blood-red light suddenly appeared behind Cundi Buddha Mother, followed by five cold beams piercing straight into her back.

But the body of the Cundi Buddha Mother instantly became ethereal, and the five cold beams missed their mark, revealing the figure of Rahu.

Seeing that his attack had failed, Rahu looked at the reappearing Cundi Buddha Mother in front of him and laughed, "As expected of Cundi Buddha Mother, she is indeed not comparable to those like the Demon Mother Goddess."

The Buddha Mother Cundi looked at Rahu with her beautiful eyes, then smiled and asked, "I heard you want to become a Bodhisattva?"

Rahu said, "What, is it not allowed? Does it mean that only the disciples and grand-disciples of Shakyamuni can become Bodhisattvas, but I can't?"

The Buddha Mother Cundi smiled and said, "Of course I can do it. Look what this is."

After saying this, the Buddha Mother Cundi raised her hand and pointed, and instantly a beam of Buddha light flew towards Rahu.

Rahu was greatly alarmed and hurriedly unleashed his demonic light. As soon as the blood-red demonic light appeared, it immediately eroded and obliterated the Buddhist light that flew in front of him. Then, a decree fell from the Buddhist light.

Luo Hou received the edict and glanced at it before exclaiming in utter astonishment, "What? The Tathagata has appointed me as the 'Bodhisattva of Peace and Cleanliness'?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a beam of Buddhist light shone from Rahu's body, and he actually attained the status of a Bodhisattva in Buddhism.

Cundi Buddha Mother immediately put her palms together and smiled, saying, "Congratulations to Rahu, the Bodhisattva of Clean Toilet. From now on, all the latrines in the world will have to rely on the Bodhisattva of Clean Toilet for protection."

In an instant, Rahu's face turned green. He cursed "Thief Tathagata" and unleashed his overwhelming demonic power, sweeping thousands of bloody lights from all directions towards Cundi Buddha Mother.

Knowing the power of the Blood Demon, Cundi Buddha Mother did not confront it head-on, but instead created thousands of golden lotuses beneath her feet.

The Buddha Mother Cundi stood on a golden lotus, calmly traversing the overwhelming blood-red light. Before all the golden lotuses were completely obliterated by the power of the blood demon, she flew out of Puyu City and landed in the vast mountains more than two hundred miles away.

Seeing the Cundi Buddha Mother disappear into the mountains, Rahu cursed loudly with a livid face, but he did not chase after her, fearing that there might be an ambush there.

When Rahu flew back to the Rahu Temple in Puyu City and sat down on the altar, he was suddenly overwhelmed by a multitude of foul stenches.

"Ugh!" Rahu immediately lay down on the altar and dry heaved, and countless scenes of mortals using the toilet appeared before his eyes.

Rahu was instantly choked and dizzy, tears streaming down his face from the stench. He roared furiously to the sky, "You thieving Tathagata!!!" (End of Chapter)
