I am a fairy in Journey to the West

"True Lord Lingtai, please wait." A soft voice called from behind. Zhuang Yan turned around and saw a monk in white robes, bathed in golden light, flying over on auspicious clouds.

Zhuang Yan stood with his hands behind his back, a smile on his face. He waited until the monk landed in front of him before asking, "Buddha Amoghavajra, is there something you need to stop me for?"

The one who arrived was none other than Amoghasiddhi Buddha. Upon hearing Zhuang Yan's question, Amoghasiddhi Buddha put his hands together and said, "Does True Lord Lingtai know that recently some uninvited guests called 'Chosen Ones' have appeared in Beiju Luzhou?"

"I know," Zhuang Yan said with a smile. "Does Amoghavajra know the origins of these chosen ones?"

Amoghasiddhi shook his head and said, "This humble monk does not know. The origins of these chosen ones are extremely mysterious. This humble monk has searched through the secrets of heaven but still does not know where they come from."

Zhuang Yan said, "This is a calamity for the beings of Beiju Luzhou. Hasn't your Buddhist sect always been troubled by the fact that the beings of Beiju Luzhou are unwilling to believe in the Dharma?"

The Buddha Amoghavajra said, “Although the beings of Uttarakuru do not believe in gods and Buddhas, they should not suffer such calamities. This humble monk cannot bear it.”

"Unable to bear it?" Zhuang Yan smiled upon hearing this and said, "Since Amoghavajra has such a heart that he cannot bear it, why not enter the world to guide and enlighten people?"

Upon hearing this, Amoghasiddhi smiled and said, "That is exactly what I was thinking."

Zhuang Yan looked slightly surprised and asked, "Does the Buddha Amoghavajra want to save all sentient beings from the sea of ​​suffering, or does he want to persuade those destined by Heaven to lay down their butcher's knives?"

Amoghasiddhi sighed and said, "Sentient beings are drowning in the sea of ​​suffering. If they cannot awaken themselves, even gods and Buddhas cannot save them. Compared to this, it is much easier to get people to lay down their butcher's knives."

"Oh?" Zhuang Yan said, "If Amoghavajra can save those destined people, that would be a great merit."

Amoghasiddhi asked, "This humble monk has come to inquire whether True Lord Lingtai wishes to accompany us?"

"Me?" Zhuang Yan shook his head and said, "I am not familiar with the methods of saving people. Now that Beiju Luzhou is facing a calamity ordained by Heaven, I naturally have other things to do."

Upon hearing this, Amoghavajra nodded slightly and said, “True Lord is a righteous god of the Heavenly Court. His thoughts and considerations are beyond the reach of us cultivators. In that case, this humble monk will take his leave of True Lord and return to the mortal world.”

Zhuang Yan cupped his hands and smiled, "I wish the Buddha Amoghavajra a speedy success in his mission, to save those destined for heaven and avert this calamity."

After bowing respectfully to Zhuang Yan, Amoghavajra bid farewell and departed from the world.

Seeing that Amoghavajra had withdrawn his golden light and auspicious clouds and transformed into an ordinary monk to enter the world, Zhuang Yan smiled slightly and disappeared in a flash.

Meanwhile, in the Beiye tribe of Guanling Prefecture, Beiye Tianwu rubbed his head as soon as he woke up in the morning, his head down, seemingly lost in thought.

When Kitano Tenbu's wife, Tenkawa Ayaka, saw her husband rubbing his head and frowning in thought, she couldn't help but ask, "Husband, do you have a headache?"

Kitano Tenbu looked up at Tenkawa Caiping and then smiled, "No, it's just that I have some worries."

Tianhe Caiping said, "Recently, the people of the Heavenly Mandate have all gone to the Nangong Tribe and the Tianhe Tribe. The reconstruction of our Beiye Tribe is going very smoothly. What else could be causing you such worry, my husband?"

Kitano Tenbu thought for a moment, then sat up straight and said, "It's alright to tell the lady. I've been having a very strange dream lately."

Tianhe Caiping was slightly surprised and asked, "What kind of dream was it?"

Kitano Tenbu said, "In my dream, there was a person whose face I couldn't see clearly. He was surrounded by a dark yellow light and was incredibly majestic. He pointed south with his hand, pointing to an enormous mountain peak."

Tianhe Caiping asked, "A dark yellow light?"

“Yes,” Kitano Tenbu said, “It’s somewhat like the light emanating from the Tortoise and Snake Generals that day, but it’s countless times more intense.”

Tianhe Caiping pondered and said, "The dark yellow color is the mixture of heaven and earth. Heaven and earth are dark yellow. Only the gods who rule heaven and earth have this dark yellow divine light on their bodies."

Upon hearing Tianhe Caiping's words, Beiye Tianwu raised an eyebrow and said, "You mean, the person in my dream was a deity?"

Tianhe Caiping nodded and said, "I saw it in an ancient book in the Tianhe Tribe before. It was a mixture of black and yellow, and there were gods in heaven and earth. I just don't know what kind of mountain that enormous peak is?"

Kitano Tenbu said, "In the south of Beiju Luzhou, there is such a large mountain, which is undoubtedly Buzhou Mountain."

Tianhe Caiping paused for a moment, then said, "Mount Buzhou is now the location of the 'Great Master of Fate, who oversees all human affairs.' Could it be that the venerable god in the dream is the Great Master of Fate from Mount Buzhou?"

Kitano Tenbu said, "Is that possible? My Kitano clan has never worshipped any gods or Buddhas, and has no connection with this Grand Master of Fate. How could he enter my dream to guide me?"

Tianhe Caiping also fell silent, and after a long while said, "It's not just our Beiye tribe, but all the creatures of Beiju Luzhou have never believed in gods or Buddhas."

Kitano Tenbu said, "That's why this is so strange. Since we don't believe in gods and Buddhas, how can we expect them to guide us?"

"Could it be... the work of demons?" Kitano Tenbu said, "Speaking of demons, there are quite a few in my Beiju Luzhou, but few have such magical power."

Tianhe Caiping nodded slightly. Beiju Luzhou is restricted by the laws of heaven and earth, making it extremely difficult to circulate magic power. Yet, this demon's magic power could still manifest continuously in Beiye Tianwu's dream, demonstrating just how powerful it was.

Tianhe Caiping asked, "What will you do about what happened in the dream, my husband?"

“Ignore him, and things will calm down in a while. Sigh, ever since the Chosen One appeared, strange things have been happening more and more often,” Kitano Tenbu said slowly.

At this moment, he asked Tianhe Caiping, "Madam, has the Tianhe tribe sent any letters?"

Tianhe Caiping nodded and said, "My brother sent a letter yesterday. A large number of people with the Mandate of Heaven have appeared in the Tianhe tribe. They demolish temples and destroy altars wherever they see them. If anyone dares to stop them, they will fight to the death. It's extremely cruel."

“However, those chosen ones did not wreak havoc everywhere like they did in the Northern Wilderness. Instead, they had a clear objective: they only destroyed altars and temples, and left immediately after completing their tasks without any delay,” Tianhe Caiping said.

Upon hearing this, Kitano Tenbu seemed to understand something and couldn't help but sigh, "It seems that my Kitano clan is having a run of bad luck."

Tianhe Caiping couldn't say anything, since she had married into the Tianhe tribe through a marriage alliance, and it would be a lie to say she wasn't worried about her family.

However, she was too embarrassed to ask Kitano Tenbu to send people to help the Tenkawa tribe, since the Kitano tribe seemed to be in a worse situation than the Tenkawa tribe.

Thinking of this, Tianhe Caiping took out a string of white jade prayer beads from her sleeve and started to fiddle with them.

Upon seeing this, Kitano Tenbu exclaimed in surprise, "Madam has also started chanting Buddhist prayers?"

Tianhe Caiping smiled and said, "I think there is some truth to the words of the Buddhist scriptures. I wish I could have believed in them sooner."

Kitano Tenbu opened his mouth, but in the end he said nothing and simply acquiesced to the matter.

"What?" Wuchenzi looked at Wei Junzi, who had a worried expression, and asked in surprise, "You said you fell in love with Nangong Wan, the chief of the Nangong tribe? And she killed you more than ten times?" Wei Junzi nodded and said, "I fell deeply in love with her the moment I saw her, and I can't help it."

Wuchenzi was speechless. He asked Wei Junzi, "When was the first time you saw her?"

Wei Junzi said, "At that time, I was rummaging through her boudoir, trying to find some purple coins to borrow and spend."

“Then aren’t you stealing?” Wuchenzi said.

Wei Junzi said, "Can something involving a time traveler be called stealing?"

Wuchenzi rolled his eyes and asked again, "Then why was she killed by you more than ten times?"

Wei Junzi said, "Ever since she killed me the first time, I have been unable to forget her, so I went back to find her and was killed by her many times."

"You're so pathetic," Wuchenzi sighed. "Are you a masochist?"

Wei Junzi said, "Can matters of love be called masochism? It's consensual."

"Forget it." Wuchenzi reached out and tapped Wei Junzi's shoulder, saying, "Look at yourself, you're nothing but a beast of burden working 996 hours a day. What do you have to offer to date a clan leader who is born into wealth and is as beautiful as an angel? What do you have?"

Wei Junzi, with his neck stiff, said, "I have the 'Jade Void Step with the Wind'."

“That’s not yours either,” Wuchenzi said. “If you don’t accumulate enough merit, do you think you can keep this spell? You’ll have to go back to Earth and work nine-nine-six.”

At this point, Wuchenzi said to Wei Junzi, "I advise you to focus on completing tasks and accumulating merits. Don't think about these other things. We've only just had one chance to travel through time, so we must seize this opportunity and not let love ruin you."

Wei Junzi said, "I want merit, and I also want love."

"You son of a bitch!" Wuchenzi cursed, then shook his head and said, "I won't try to persuade you. Do whatever you want. The temple of the Nangong tribe has been almost completely demolished in the past month or so. Most of them have gone to other tribes. I'll be leaving the Nangong tribe soon too."

Wei Junzi hurriedly grabbed Wuchenzi and said, "Don't go yet! Help me chase after Nangong Wan, and I'll give you purple coins."

Wuchenzi shook off Wei Junzi's hand and said, "Purple coins are not very useful. I only care about merit. I have never been in a relationship, so I can't help you with this. You can use rat tail juice yourself."

After saying that, Wuchenzi turned around and left with the Seven Star Sword on his back.

Unlike the Kitano tribe, which suffered greatly at the hands of the Chosen Ones, the Chosen Ones of the Nangong tribe came and went quickly. As all the temples within the Nangong tribe's territory were demolished, the Chosen Ones left.

Only a few people whose goals had not yet been achieved did not leave, such as Wei Junzi, who was reluctant to leave the Nangong Department.

On this day, Wei Junzi was preparing to go to Nangongbu to find Nangong Wan, but as soon as he arrived at the main city of Nangongbu, he found that a large part of the city gate of Nangongbu had collapsed.

Moreover, all the elders and deacons of the Nangong tribe were gathered at the city gate, and countless Nangong warriors were also gathering from all directions.

Upon seeing this, Wei Junzi hurriedly stepped forward. As soon as the elders of the Nangong Clan saw Wei Junzi coming, they immediately surrounded him.

"You villain, hand over the clan chief at once!"

"You scoundrel, tell me quickly, where did you take the clan chief?"

"I can't believe you, you villain, dare to come back."

Wei Junzi was bewildered by the questions from the crowd around him. After a long while, he finally understood from their words that something had happened to the chief of the Nangong tribe.

Thinking of this, Wei Junzi hurriedly asked, "What happened to Clan Chief Nangong Wan?"

"You villains, how dare you ask? Wasn't it you who captured the clan leader?" Nangong Yi asked sternly.

"What? Chief Nangong Wan has been kidnapped?" Wei Junzi said, "That's impossible. Chief Nangong Wan is so powerful, how could she be so easily captured?"

Nangong Yi said, "Don't play innocent. Isn't that magic weapon that took away the clan leader one of you chosen ones?"

Wei Junzi hurriedly asked, "What kind of magic weapon is it?"

Nangong Yi frowned, while another elder beside him said, "It is a cauldron."

Wei Junzi immediately said, "This could absolutely not have been done by us, the Chosen Ones! No one among the Chosen Ones uses a magical artifact like the 'Cauldron'."

At this point, Wei Junzi continued, "I can swear that I've been frequently visiting the Nangong clan's residence this past month, as you all know. If I possessed this magical treasure, why didn't I use it sooner? Why would I have been killed so many times by your clan leader?"

One thing to understand is that the reason why the Chosen Ones became a scourge is not because the people of Beiju Luzhou were no match for them.

Rather, it's because the chosen one can be resurrected repeatedly. If you kill him this time, he will know how powerful you are and will avoid your sharp edge, then go elsewhere to cause trouble, or find an opportunity to trick you, making it impossible for you to defend against, yet leaving you helpless.

In terms of pure martial prowess, the Chosen Ones are rarely a match for these tribal elders.

Upon hearing Wei Junzi's words, the elders, including Nangong Yi, softened their expressions and tone, asking, "You really didn't do it?"

“Absolutely not,” Wei Junzi said. “Most of the chosen ones within the territory of Nangong have left, and even if there are any left, there are very few.”

At this point, Wei Junzi said, "Don't worry, everyone. I will go and find Clan Chief Nangong Wan right away. If I have any news, I will inform you all immediately."

Having said that, Wei Junzi moved his feet and activated the "Jade Void Step with the Wind," transforming into a gust of wind and disappearing without a trace.

Watching Wei Junzi disappear, an elder from the Nangong Clan said, "This man's tone didn't seem to be feigning. Could it really not be the work of the chosen one?"

Nangong Yi said, "Not necessarily. Even if this matter has nothing to do with him, does it mean it has nothing to do with other chosen ones?"

At this point, Nangong Yi said, "The clan leader is the head of a tribe and must not be harmed. These chosen ones should not be trusted lightly. Everyone should stick to the original plan and lead the warriors of the clan to search for the clan leader's whereabouts."

The elders all nodded and said, "Good."

Afterwards, the elders each led their own retainers and warriors, setting off in different directions to search for Nangong Wan, leaving only Nangong Yi to oversee the clan city. (End of Chapter)
