I am a fairy in Journey to the West
Chapter 428 Two Generals Suffer a Robbery
With all the chosen ones gathered together, a total of one hundred chosen ones formed a team and set off to hunt down the Turtle and Snake Generals.
When the two generals, Turtle and Snake, who were searching for the chosen ones, encountered these one hundred chosen ones, they were greatly surprised, "So many?!"
The snake general exclaimed in alarm, "Oh no! We've stirred up trouble at the heart of the Heavenly Mandate!"
Meanwhile, the Chosen Ones charged forward with a shout of "Brothers, charge!" A total of seventy-nine of them were combat spellcasters, while the remaining twenty-one were support spellcasters.
Ren Xiaoyao was among those twenty-one, but he couldn't offer much help; all he could do was provide plenty of cigarettes.
However, the other twenty chosen ones were either healing or turning into medicine, making them far more useful than him.
"I've been here for over a month, and this is the first time I've seen a health bar displayed," Ren Xiaoyao said. "I wonder what the reward will be if I kill it."
Just then, two long howls suddenly came from ahead. Ren Xiaoyao looked up and saw that the Turtle and Snake Generals were already unable to withstand the frenzied attacks of the chosen ones.
Soon, both the tortoise and the snake were covered in wounds. At this moment, the snake said, "Brother tortoise, show your true form."
The tortoise nodded helplessly and said, "That's the only way."
Therefore, after two long howls, the tortoise and snake generals immediately revealed their true forms.
That tortoise general was as large as a mountain, spanning hundreds of miles, and its feet were a thousand feet high, reaching into the clouds. Its voice was like thunder, shaking the universe, and its boundless divine power shook all directions.
That serpent general, with its fiery scales and divine body, was ten thousand feet long, its tortoise-like back coiled and shimmering with light. Its eyes were like red suns, their arrogance overwhelming the sky.
The tortoise and snake generals revealed their true forms and immediately formed the Xuanwu Dharma Image, which truly frightened the chosen ones.
Ren Xiaoyao, who was behind, threw away his cigarette and shouted, "Run!"
As soon as Ren Xiaoyao finished speaking, the snake lowered its head and spewed out boundless flames, instantly scorching hundreds of miles of mountains and rivers, causing them to boil.
In the blink of an eye, forty or fifty chosen ones were burned into white light. Then the tortoise general stepped forward and stomped down, turning more than thirty chosen ones into white light. Those chosen ones who only had auxiliary spells and were slow to run were also not spared.
In an instant, only a dozen or so people remained of the chosen ones on the scene. Gu Hanqing recovered from his shock, raised his hand and cast the 'Ice Cleansing Technique', which created a huge iceberg and froze the Turtle and Snake Generals inside.
"Run!" Gu Hanqing shouted to the people around him. "Lure it outside the mass grave and wear it down."
Wuchenzi's eyes lit up, and he said, "Good idea."
So the group ran wildly toward the mass grave, but after only a few dozen steps, they heard a loud bang behind them.
Gu Hanqing turned around and saw that the tortoise general smashed the entire iceberg and charged out with the snake general.
Gu Hanqing's expression changed, and he said, "So fast?"
No sooner had he finished speaking than the snake spewed out raging fire again, and Gu Hanqing hurriedly conjured an iceberg to block the fire.
But the real fire was incessant, so Gu Hanqing had to keep conjuring icebergs to block it, which made her pace far behind the others.
When Gu Hanqing looked back, she found that Wuchenzi and the others had already disappeared, leaving her alone to resist the Xuanwu Dharma Image.
At this moment, the tortoise raised its front leg and stomped down. The ice wall that Gu Hanqing had conjured was completely vulnerable and was instantly crushed to death.
"Chase after them, they've gone into those mountains." After crushing Gu Hanqing to death, the snake general pointed to a range of mountains to the left and said to the turtle general.
The tortoise responded, then took a step with its four legs, covering a distance of a hundred miles in a single stride, and arrived at the foot of the mountain where the mass grave was located in a short while.
Wuchenzi and the others also arrived outside the mass grave. Gu Hanqing, who had just been resurrected, immediately cursed as soon as he came out: "You bunch of bastards, you have no loyalty. I was covering your retreat, and you didn't even care about me."
Gao Bushi laughed and said, "What's there to be afraid of? Can't we just come back to life after we die?"
Gu Hanqing said, "There are only a limited number of resurrections."
At this moment, the Xuanwu Dharma Image had already reached the top of the mountain, and the snake breathed down a mouthful of true fire, turning the entire mountain into a sea of fire.
More than a hundred miles away in the Beiye clan city, Beiye Tianwu and others looked at the huge Xuanwu Dharma Image, whose shadow covered most of the clan city.
Especially when he saw the mountains turned into a sea of fire, Kitano couldn't help but clap his hands and cheer: "Now those chosen ones should all be dead, right?"
But most of the Beiye tribesmen were in shock; the awe they felt at the sight of the Xuanwu Dharma Image was beyond words.
A young man from the Kitano tribe said, "Now I finally understand why our ancestors, who were so powerful, were still suppressed by the True Martial Emperor."
In the mass grave, thanks to the protection of the air wall, the Serpent General's true fire did not harm those chosen ones.
When the real fire burned everything to ashes, leaving the surrounding mountains bare and charred, not even an ant remained, but the chosen one in the mass grave was still alive and kicking.
Seeing this, the Xuanwu Dharma Image was somewhat astonished. After a moment, the tortoise general raised its foot and stepped down towards the mass grave.
But just as the tortoise's huge tortoise feet were only a few dozen feet above the ground, it suddenly stopped. The tortoise tried its best to step down but couldn't. Upon closer inspection, there was nothing under its feet, but it seemed as if there was a wall blocking its feet.
The tortoise tried to break through the invisible wall several more times, but found that no matter how much divine power he used, he could not break through it. So he said, "No, there is an invisible barrier below that has trapped all these chosen ones inside."
The snake asked, "Can it be broken?"
The tortoise shook its head and said, "It can't be broken, at least not by brute force."
The snake frowned and said, "This is troublesome. If the chosen ones are hiding inside, won't we be helpless against them?"
But this is just the snake general being overly suspicious. Their attacks cannot break through the air wall, but the chosen ones inside the air wall cannot attack them either.
So soon the Turtle and Snake Generals saw the chosen ones in the mass grave quickly split into five teams of twenty people each and rush out towards them.
Seeing that these chosen ones dared to rush out on their own initiative, the Turtle and Snake generals were quite surprised, but they quickly realized, "Haha, that's exactly what we were worried about, you didn't dare to come out."
The Turtle and Snake Generals launched another attack, and in the blink of an eye, all five teams of chosen ones were killed and sent back to the mass grave.
"So that's where they were resurrected," the tortoise general said. "There must be something strange about this barrier; perhaps it's a treasure that can bring people back to life."
Upon hearing this, the snake general excitedly said, "If we two were to obtain such a treasure, our names would surely be among the top-ranking deities in the Heavenly Court."
“That’s right,” the tortoise general replied, “These chosen ones are nothing to fear. It would be easy for you and me to kill them. The main force should be used to break this barrier.”
“Alright,” the snake general said. “I will activate the power of the Tai Xuan Fire Essence, and you will activate the power of the Tai Xuan Water Essence. We will continuously attack this barrier, and I don’t believe it won’t break.”
The two acted immediately, and two dazzling divine lights appeared above their heads. Then, a 'Tai Xuan Water Seal' appeared between the brows of the tortoise general and a 'Tai Xuan Fire Seal' appeared between the brows of the snake general.
Then the tortoise released a stream of water essence from the Tai Xuan Water Seal between its eyebrows, while the snake released a stream of fire essence from the Tai Xuan Fire Seal between its eyebrows, both of which struck directly at the mass grave.
The essence of water poured down from above, pressing down with the immense power of the vast ocean waves.
The essence of fire burns from below, blazing fiercely with the force of flames engulfing the sky.
Faced with the terrifying power of the Tai Xuan Fire Essence and Tai Xuan Water Essence, those chosen ones would die as soon as they left the area protected by the air wall of the mass grave, without exception.
Especially the mountains where this mass grave is located, the surrounding mountains within a radius of a hundred miles began to collapse, crack, and sink.
The Kitano tribesmen in the distant Kitano clan city watched helplessly as the mountain range first collapsed, then split into several large rift valleys, was then leveled, and finally sank into a huge pit.
However, the area within a ten-zhang radius of the mass grave where the chosen one was located remained unaffected. No matter how the surrounding terrain changed, the area within a ten-zhang radius of the mass grave remained completely still, separated from the surrounding land and standing tall there.
The people of Destiny inside were also dumbfounded. Just now they had charged forward with great momentum in more than a dozen waves, but every time they went out, they would immediately turn into white light and then be resurrected in the mass grave.
After everyone had used up at least thirteen resurrection chances, everyone became obedient and only dared to stay in the mass grave, no longer daring to charge forward.
"How can they be so powerful?" a little girl cried. "Every time I go out, I get killed instantly. Every time I go out, I get killed instantly."
Wuchenzi slowly took a drag of his cigarette, then exhaled a puff of smoke and said, "That's Xuanwu, the mount of the True Martial Emperor in mythology. How could it not be powerful?"
The little girl turned her head and glanced at Wuchenzi, then said, "Could you please not smoke?"
Wuchenzi said, "No."
The little girl said, "We should be civilized in public places."
Wuchenzi pointed around and said, "The side with more people is civilized, and smoking now is civilized."
The little girl looked up and saw that smoke was everywhere, and almost everyone she could see was smoking a cigarette.
"I can't take it anymore!" Gu Hanqing roared, raising his hand to freeze the three smokers next to him into ice sculptures. Then he walked to an open space and said, "Those who don't smoke, come here."
In an instant, thirty-two people walked up to Gu Hanqing, including the little girl.
Then Gu Hanqing pointed to the remaining smokers and said, "From now on, I'm cutting ties with you smokers."
The remaining sixty-seven people, cigarettes dangling from their mouths, stared blankly at Gu Hanqing before looking away and continuing to smoke.
Seeing that these people were ignoring her protests, Gu Hanqing became even angrier and said again, "Is there anyone who will break with these smokers with me?"
The previous thirty-two people immediately responded in unison, saying that they had suffered from secondhand smoke for a long time and that they must break with it.
Upon seeing this, Ren Xiaoyao immediately stood up and said, "Everyone, please don't fight amongst yourselves." Then he turned to the sixty-seven members of the Chosen Ones who were smoking and said, "Listen to me, all of you who smoke, come over here and give some space to the brothers and sisters who don't smoke."
Ren Xiaoyao's words were very effective among the group of smokers. Upon hearing this, the sixty-seven people immediately stood up and gathered together in the direction Ren Xiaoyao had indicated, puffing away on their cigarettes.
Seeing this, Gu Hanqing did not lose her temper again, but stood on the other side with the thirty-two non-smokers.
The Turtle and Snake Generals, who were attacking the air wall with all their might, naturally did not expect that these chosen ones had already fought amongst themselves in just half a quarter of an hour, but the air wall, which they had been attacking for a long time, still showed no signs of weakening.
Just as the two generals realized something was wrong, it was too late. They revealed their true forms and formed the Xuanwu Dharma Form, consuming their own original true power.
In reality, all 'Dharma Forms' consume their own 'Original True Law,' and the true law of the Turtle and Snake Generals is the power of 'Tai Xuan Water Essence' and 'Tai Xuan Fire Essence.' If they were only maintaining the 'Xuanwu Dharma Form' to kill the Chosen Ones, then their Origin True Law would never be exhausted.
However, because they coveted the treasure within the air wall that could bring people back to life, they directly used the primal power of the "Tai Xuan Water Essence" and the "Tai Xuan Fire Essence" to attack the air wall, which consumed a great deal of energy.
So when the two generals realized that the barrier was impossible to break, it was too late. The seals between their brows quickly dimmed, and the power of their original true magic had been exhausted.
The next moment, the Tai Xuan Water Seal and Tai Xuan Fire Seal between the two generals' brows completely dimmed and disappeared into their Niwan Palace. Their 'Xuanwu Dharma Image' also vanished instantly, and the two generals returned to their original heavenly general forms.
The two men felt a chill run down their spines, realizing something was wrong. They exchanged a glance and turned to run.
But Gu Hanqing discovered it, "Where do you think you're going?"
Gu Hanqing raised his hand and froze an ice bridge outside the mass grave to connect the other side, then quickly chased after the Turtle and Snake Generals.
Gu Hanqing's shout alerted the sixty-seven people who were smoking, and Wuchenzi, Gao Bushi, and Li Bubai were the first to rush out.
Wuchenzi charged the fastest because his Seven Star Steps were extremely swift; in a few flashes, he blocked the Turtle and Snake Generals.
With a sweep of his sword, Wuchenzi slashed directly at the Turtle and Snake Generals. Then, with a clang, his Seven Star Sword struck the armor of the two generals, the sharpness of the sword energy blocking all of their armor.
Wuchenzi: "Huh?"
The snake raised its spear and stabbed Wuchenzi to death. At this moment, Gu Hanqing also rushed over and froze the two of them into ice sculptures.
But the icy aura was immediately broken by the tortoise general, who then swung his sword backhand, cleaving the charging Gu Hanqing in two at the waist.
"Wow!" Li Bubai exclaimed upon seeing this scene, "They have absolutely no sense of chivalry towards women."
As Gu Hanqing transformed into white light, the tortoise general looked at Li Bubai and said, "A mere skin and a handful of bones, what fragrance is there to pity? What jade is there to cherish?"
Having said that, the tortoise slashed at Li Bubai with its sword, and Li Bubai flicked its sword finger and said, "Azure Lotus Sword Qi".
With a whoosh, a burst of azure lotus sword energy erupted, colliding with the sword in the tortoise general's hand, and the tortoise general was immediately knocked back several steps.
At this moment, Li Bubai laughed and said, "I cherish her fragrant body and the beauty of her jade-like body."
As he spoke, Gao Bushi thrust his spear into the turtle general's chest, but unfortunately, he still couldn't break through the turtle general's golden armor.
The snake thrust a spear at him, and Gao, unable to withstand the sound, died, disappearing in a flash of white light.
Li Bubai was already in front of them. He raised his sword and unleashed more than a dozen Azure Lotus Sword Qi. The Turtle and Snake Generals hurriedly raised their arms to block their faces. The dozen Azure Lotus Sword Qi struck the golden armor and helmets covering the two men's bodies, but had no effect whatsoever. They couldn't even shake the defense of the armor.
At this moment, Kong Liang rushed forward and waved his fire fan more than ten times. In an instant, dozens of fire whirlwinds swept towards the Turtle and Snake Generals, and of course, Li Bubai was also burned to death in the process.
As expected, the invulnerable golden helmets and armor of the Turtle and Snake Generals were completely unable to defend against this magical attack. They were instantly swept up by the fire whirlwind and then engulfed by the raging flames.
Wuchenzi, who had just been resurrected, returned and said urgently, "Xuanwu has one fire and one water. Your Wind and Fire Fan can only trap them, not kill them."
Liu Huaqiang from Sichuan then asked, "What would it take to kill them?"
Wuchenzi said, "It requires power that is not within the Five Elements."
No sooner had Wuchenzi finished speaking than a voice rang out: "I'll do it."
Everyone turned to look and saw a man covered in black lightning emerge. Upon seeing this, Wuchenzi hurriedly asked, "What kind of lightning magic is this? Why is it black?"
The man said, "Black-hearted Poison Thunder."
Upon hearing the name, everyone exclaimed, "Black, damn black!"
After saying that, the man stepped forward, his hands crackling with lightning, which he then unleashed with a loud 'boom,' causing everyone present to cover their ears.
'Rumble'
The black, poisonous lightning crashed down, leaving streaks of black lightning that snaked across the sky, instantly engulfing the tortoise and snake generals.
After an unknown amount of time, the noise in the world subsided, and finally, all was calm.
As the fire whirlwind and the black-hearted poisonous thunder completely dissipated, everyone looked around and found that the Turtle and Snake Generals were nowhere to be seen. There were only two sets of golden helmets and armor, a divine sword and a divine spear lying on the ground, as well as a pile of purple coins that looked like a small mountain.
"exploded!"
Someone exclaimed in surprise, and then a hundred chosen ones rushed forward.
Taiheng Jun, panting heavily and looking flustered, came to Zhuang Yan and reported, "True Lord, something terrible has happened!"
Zhuang Yan reached out and made a slight grabbing motion in the air, then smiled at Taiheng Jun and asked, "What is it?"
Lord Taiheng was trembling all over, his eyes filled with panic, "Those chosen ones killed the Turtle and Snake Generals!"
Taihengjun could not imagine how furious the True Martial Emperor would be upon the deaths of the Turtle and Snake Generals.
Upon hearing this, Zhuang Yan calmly replied, "It's a calamity; how can it not result in death?"
“But…” Taiheng Jun stared at Zhuang Yan, “These chosen ones were all created by you.”
Zhuang Yan looked at Taiheng Jun and asked, "But what is it?"
Taihengjun suddenly shut his mouth, cold sweat pouring down his forehead. He immediately shook his head and said, "Nothing, nothing. Those chosen ones killed the Turtle and Snake Generals. The True Martial Emperor will surely unleash his thunderous wrath."
"It's not that serious," Zhuang Yan said calmly. "I already said this is a great calamity of heaven and earth. Since it is a great calamity of heaven and earth, the heavenly god who enters the world is naturally also in the calamity. It is normal for him to perish in the calamity. Emperor Zhenwu would not be unable to understand this principle."
Upon hearing this and seeing Zhuang Yan's composure, Lord Taiheng quickly calmed himself down and said, "What the True Lord says is true."
Zhuang Yan glanced at him, then waved his hand and said with a smile, "You can go down now."
"Yes, True Lord." Lord Taiheng bowed respectfully, then turned and retreated.
After Taihengjun left, Zhuang Yan raised his right hand and opened his palm. With two golden lights flashing, two divine souls, one a tortoise and the other a snake, appeared in Zhuang Yan's palm.
When the turtle and snake generals regained their senses and saw that it was Zhuang Yan, they immediately bowed and said, "The turtle and snake generals pay their respects to the True Lord of the Spirit Platform."
Zhuang Yan laughed and asked, "How did you two heavenly generals perish?"
The tortoise general said dejectedly, "Reporting to the True Lord, we two were sent down by His Majesty's decree to exterminate the Chosen Ones, but we did not expect that they were numerous and powerful. We two were outnumbered and could not defeat them, and were eventually killed."
Zhuang Yan, with a cryptic smile on his face, said, "Is that really so?"
The two generals, Turtle and Snake, exchanged a glance, then replied somewhat guiltily, "Reporting to True Lord, it is absolutely true."
"Alright." Zhuang Yan said calmly, "Since you two are dead, your souls should return to the underworld. But don't worry, I will inform the Xuan Tian Emperor."
Upon hearing this, the two generals, Turtle and Snake, immediately bowed and said, "Thank you, True Lord Lingtai."
Zhuang Yan nodded slightly, and in a short while, the souls of the tortoise and snake generals were sent to the underworld.
Zhuang Yan then informed the True Martial Emperor of this matter. The True Martial Emperor in the Xuantian Palace seemed to have sensed it beforehand and was not surprised when he received Zhuang Yan's notification.
Zhang Lingguan, the Minister of the Xuanwu Hall, was greatly shocked and said, "The Turtle and Snake Generals actually perished at the hands of those chosen ones?"
As he spoke, Zhang Lingguan secretly glanced at the expression of the True Martial Emperor, feeling uneasy. The Turtle and Snake Generals were old followers of the True Martial Emperor from the very beginning, and now that they had been killed in the mortal realm, he wondered how furious the True Martial Emperor would be.
But the reaction of the True Martial Emperor was far beyond Zhang Lingguan's expectations. The True Martial Emperor was neither angry nor furious. He just sighed and said, "The two generals, the tortoise and the snake, were moved by mortal desires, hence this calamity."
Zhang Lingguan was stunned and quickly asked, "Have the two heavenly generals been tempted by mortal desires?"
The True Martial Emperor said, "They were overcome by greed and worldly desires, which is why they perished in the tribulation. Their resolve to follow the Dao was not firm."
If the two generals hadn't been greedy for the 'treasure' that didn't even exist within the air wall, they wouldn't have used the Tai Xuan Water Seal and Tai Xuan Fire Seal to attack the air wall, and they wouldn't have exhausted their original true power, causing the Xuanwu Dharma Form to collapse. In that case, killing those chosen ones a hundred times, or even a thousand or ten thousand times, would have been more than enough.
It is also true that fortune and misfortune have no fixed gate, but are summoned by oneself. Once the two generals had a moment of worldly desire and became greedy, they entered into calamity.
At this point, the True Martial Emperor said to Zhang Lingguan, "Go to the underworld on my behalf and convey my message: the two generals' hearts are not firm enough and their worldly desires have not been completely eradicated. This tribulation is inevitable for them. Let them reincarnate in peace, cultivate their virtues properly, and they will have a time to return to the heavenly realm in the future."
Zhang Lingguan bowed and said, "Your subject obeys the decree."
After Zhang Lingguan left, the True Martial Emperor raised an eyebrow, suddenly beckoned to the few young boys standing in the hall, and said with a smile, "Come here."
Upon hearing this, several children quickly strode over to the True Martial Emperor, their little faces filled with great confusion.
Then Zhenwu the Great said to them, "I'm giving you a task."
The young boys quickly replied, "Please give your orders, sir."
The True Martial Emperor said, "I command you to spread the word far and wide about the calamity that befell the people of Beiju Luzhou and the news of the killing of the Turtle and Snake Generals. This must be known to all, regardless of whether they are gods, immortals, Taoists, or Buddhas."
The children looked even more confused. "Master, why?" They were puzzled. Wasn't this a slap in the face for the master himself?
The True Martial Emperor laughed and said, "Don't ask any more questions. Just do as I say. There will be a reward if you do it well."
Upon hearing that there would be a reward, the children were no longer puzzled and bowed to accept the order.
Then Zhenwu the Great instructed, "Remember, you must not reveal to anyone that I sent you out to say this, that you went out to 'speak secretly' behind my back, do you understand?"
The young boys all replied, "Understood, sir."
The True Martial Emperor nodded and said, "Alright, then let's go."
The boys bowed and accepted the order, then took their leave and departed from the Xuantian Palace. (End of Chapter)
