I am a fairy in Journey to the West

There are many temples in Beiju Luzhou, especially those that practice licentious worship, which are scattered throughout the entire Beiju Luzhou.

One hundred chosen ones may seem like a lot, but when scattered throughout the entire Northern Continent, they are like a drop of water falling into the ocean.

Zhenwu Temples are easy to find; all the tribes have temples dedicated to Zhenwu the Great, and they are all located in important or prominent positions.

However, other temples are hard to find because the beings in Beiju Luzhou generally do not believe in gods and Buddhas. Therefore, most temples were built by a very small number of beings and are hidden in remote mountains and peaks.

Several months have passed, and the Zhenwu Temples located within the various tribes have been almost completely destroyed by the Heavenly Mandate people. Now, the Heavenly Mandate people are searching everywhere for those hidden immortals and demons who worship evil spirits.

On this day, in Liangzhou, southeast of Beiju Luzhou, Wuchenzihe Kongliang looked at the demon lair that had been "completely cleared" and destroyed the Buddha statue in front of him before preparing to go down the mountain.

"This Buddha statue looks a bit unfamiliar," Kong Liang said, pointing to the Buddha statue on the ground that had been chopped into several pieces by Wuchenzi.

“You’ve definitely never seen this before,” Wuchenzi said. “This is Amoghasiddhi, one of the Five Dhyani Buddhas. We rarely worship the Five Dhyani Buddhas where we’re from.”

Upon hearing this, Kong Liang immediately asked, "This is Beiju Luzhou. Could the Northern Buddha be located here in Beiju Luzhou?"

"So what if I am here?" Wuchenzi stared at Kong Liang and said, "What, are you afraid?"

"It's not that I'm afraid." Kong Liang thought for a moment and asked, "How powerful is this Northern Buddhist monk? Can he control the entire Earth?"

Wuchenzi said, "I can't say for sure; it depends on the specific circumstances."

Kong Liang said, "How so?"

Wuchenzi thought for a moment, then squatted down, drew a circle on the ground with his sword, and then made two dots on each side of the circle.

“If this world and our Earth are both within this circle, then with the power of the Five Buddhas, they can definitely control the Earth,” Wuchenzi said.

Then Wuchenzi drew another circle next to the first one, and then made a dot in each of the two circles. “If the Earth and this world are each in a circle, then not to mention the Five Buddhas, even the Tathagata Buddha cannot control the Earth.”

Kong Liang suddenly realized and said, "I understand, you mean the concept of the multiverse, right?"

“Yes.” Wuchenzi nodded. “You could say that, but I’m not sure. However, we can make some inferences.”

Kong Liang asked, "How did you deduce that?"

Wuchenzi said, "If this world and Earth are within the same 'circle,' then why are there gods in this world, but not on Earth?"

Kong Liang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "So that means this world and the Earth are not on the same 'circle'?"

"That's hard to say," Wuchenzi said. "We've been in this world for about half a year now. The gods and immortals in this world are similar to those in our Earth's legends, such as the True Martial Emperor, the Five Buddhas, and the Northern Mountain Emperor. It's obvious that this world is related to our Earth."

Kong Liang sighed and said, "So what's your final conclusion?"

Wuchenzi said, "The conclusion is that I don't know either; you'll have to ask that person."

Kong Liang raised an eyebrow. "Which person?"

Wuchenzi said, "The person who brought us to this world, our transmigration was not inexplicable, especially the loose-haired Taoist who gave us the quest and the fairy Hanzhi who was in charge of exchanging items. They are not 'NPCs' at all, they are real intelligent beings."

Upon hearing this, Kong Liang's expression changed. He quickly glanced at the countless dead monsters around him and said, "What about them?"

Wuchenzi said, "They're just monsters. We've killed them, so what? We've killed quite a few people from the Kitano tribe. Are you scared by killing a few monsters?"

“But knowing they are real living beings always feels different,” Kong Liang said.

"It's alright. Compared to killing people, destroying temples is obviously a more serious matter in a world with gods and Buddhas," Wuchenzi said with a smile.

Kong Liang looked at Wuchenzi and said, "You are a Taoist priest. If the Five Buddhas can govern the Earth, what will happen if we destroy their temples?"

Wuchenzi said, "It will reduce one's fortune and lifespan, and bring many disasters and hardships."

Kong Liang's face paled, and he said, "Then I'll have to trouble you."

Wuchenzi said, "It's no trouble. Actually, if you don't believe in Buddhism, as long as the Buddha doesn't specifically cause you trouble, you'll most likely be fine."

"What if someone in your family is a Buddhist?" Kong Liang asked.

Wuchenzi asked in surprise, "Who in your family is a Buddhist?"

Kong Liang said, "My mother is a Buddhist."

Wuchenzi pondered for a moment, and then said, "That's troublesome. If that's the case, then you're truly a filial son."

Kong Liang said with a bitter face, "Then what should I do? It's okay if something happens to me, but I don't want to hurt my mother."

"What's the use of being afraid?" Wuchenzi said indifferently. "We are just pawns."

"What do you mean?" Kong Liang asked, somewhat surprised.

Wuchenzi said, "It's very simple. Our time travel was deliberately arranged by someone. Look at the tasks he gave us. They are all about demolishing temples of gods, Buddhas, immortals, and demons."

Upon hearing this, Kong Liang asked, "Could it be one of the great deities of your Taoist sect?"

"That's good. What I'm afraid of are those inexplicable demons and monsters. Although I work like a 996 workaholic in the Taoist temple, I still have feelings for Taoism," Wuchenzi said.

At this point, Wuchenzi looked at Kong Liang and said, "Actually, you don't need to be afraid. I've asked about the backgrounds of all one hundred of us. We're all ordinary people on Earth with no connections. We're all just ordinary workers. It's obvious that the person who sent us through this world has a compassionate heart and wants to give us a chance to escape our ordinary lives."

"We just need to seize this opportunity. Even if we offend those gods and Buddhas, we don't need to bear the consequences. We can't bear them anyway."

"Don't overthink the chess pieces," Wuchenzi said to Kong Liang. "Just move them forward."

Kong Liang remained silent, but then Wu Chenzi suddenly said, "There's news."

As he spoke, Wuchenzi summoned the Heavenly Profound Jade Talisman to connect, and Shen Buqun's voice immediately came from inside: "Wuchenzi, it is I, Shen Buqun."

Wuchenzi chuckled, "Old Shen? What trouble have you run into?"

"Great news!" Shen Buqun said. "Hurry back to Guanling Prefecture and come to Tianhe Department."

Wuchenzi looked surprised and asked, "Great news? What great news?"

Shen Buqun said, "Don't ask me that. I just need to tell you one thing: more than a thousand temples of gods and Buddhas have been discovered within the territory of the Tianhe Tribe. Come quickly."

"What? More than a thousand?!" Wuchenzi was greatly shocked. "Where did so many temples and shrines come from? Weren't all the temples in the Tianhe Tribe demolished?"

Shen Buqun said, "Don't ask that. Hurry up and come. I still need to notify the other chosen ones. I'll hang up now."

Before Wuchenzi could ask any further questions, Shen Buqun cut off the Heavenly Profound Jade Talisman. Just as Wuchenzi was in a daze, Kong Liang also received a call from Shen Buqun. When Shen Buqun learned that Kong Liang and Wuchenzi were together, he said directly, "Alright, you come with Wuchenzi. Don't ask anything. Wait a minute, I'll hang up now. The Tianhe Tribe Chief needs to see me."

After Kong Liang hung up the Heavenly Profound Jade Talisman, he looked at Wuchenzi with a bewildered expression.

Wuchenzi was still in shock when he saw Kong Liang hang up and said, "He just said that the Tianhe tribe chief was looking for him?"

"Yes," Kong Liang nodded.

Wuchenzi suddenly clapped his hands and said, "I understand now, damn it, Shen Buqun is exploiting a loophole in the mission."

"What?" Kong Liang looked bewildered. "What vulnerability?"

Wuchenzi said, "Our mission is to destroy all the temples in Beiju Luzhou, right?"

"Yes." Kong Liang nodded.

Wuchenzi asked, "Did the mission specify which temples are included? Are there any restrictions on the temples' origins? Can newly built temples also be included?"

Kong Liang instantly understood. "You mean, Shen Buqun sought cooperation with the Tianhe tribe's chieftain, getting the entire tribe to use its resources to build temples, which we, the Chosen Ones, would then destroy? To complete missions?"

“That’s right,” Wuchenzi said. “It’s amazing that this kid could come up with such a thing.”

Kong Liang's mind immediately started working. "Shall we go to the Tianhe Division now?"

Wuchenzi said, "Let's go! Hurry up, how many merits will we lose if we're late? What if it gets censored? The sooner we go, the sooner we can accumulate merits."

With that, Wuchenzi and Kong Liang immediately descended the mountain and set off towards the Tianhe Division of Guanling Prefecture.

But five days later, Wuchenzi received another message from Gu Hanqing via the Heavenly Profound Jade Talisman.

"Little Gu, what's the matter?" Wuchenzi asked.

Gu Hanqing asked, "Did you receive messages from Shen Buqun and Yue Botong?"

"We've received it, and we're on our way to the Tianhe Division," Wuchenzi said.

Gu Hanqing said, "Won't there be any problems with doing this? I'm a little worried."

Wuchenzi laughed and said, "The worst-case scenario is that I can't do quests, so what's there to worry about?"

Gu Hanqing thought for a moment and said, "What you said makes sense, but I can't go to the Tianhe Division yet. I need to go to the Nangong Division."

Wuchenzi asked with a look of surprise, "What are you doing in the Nangong tribe?"

Gu Hanqing said, "Wei Junzi asked me for help, saying that he encountered trouble in the Nangong tribe, so I have to go there."

"Wei Junzi?" Wuchenzi was taken aback. "He's in trouble? Why didn't he come to me?"

Gu Hanqing said, "He said you wouldn't help him, so he didn't contact you."

"That idiot." Wuchenzi was speechless. "How did he know I wouldn't help him without even asking? We have some kind of relationship, after all."

Gu Hanqing asked, "Are you going?"

“Go ahead,” Wuchenzi said. “Then I’ll go to the Nangong Division first.”

Kong Liang, who was standing to the side, said, "If you go, I'll go too."

Wuchenzi nodded and said to Gu Hanqing, "Kong Liang will come with me too."

Gu Hanqing's face lit up with joy, and he said, "Pharmacist Mei and Long Mochou are with me too, they're going too."

Wuchenzi nodded and said, "Okay, I'll talk to Lao Ren again and ask him to call some people to see who else can come along."

"Okay." Gu Hanqing nodded and then ended the call.

Wuchenzi then used the Heavenly Profound Jade Talisman to send Ren Xiaoyao a teleportation message. After Ren Xiaoyao answered the call, Wuchenzi informed him of the matter.

Upon learning this, Ren Xiaoyao immediately said, "We can't ignore the trouble of the chosen ones. I'll go with you. But I can't force others; I can only inform them."

Wuchenzi nodded and said, "Okay, let me ask first."

Ren Xiaoyao said, "I don't think many people will go to the Nangong Division. My people are all preparing to go to the Tianhe Division to do missions. Let me ask first."

"Okay." Wuchenzi nodded, then cut off the mirror image.

More than twenty days later, on the cliff of Duanfeng, located on the border of the Nangong tribe, Gu Hanqing sat on the cliff with Pharmacist Mei, Long Mochou, Li Bubai, Gao Bushi, Wang Lang and others waiting.

Soon after, Ren Xiaoyao, Wuchenzi, Kong Liang, and Liu Huaqiang arrived at the place and joined Gu Hanqing and the others.

"Has everyone arrived?" Ren Xiaoyao asked.

The group looked at each other, and Gu Hanqing said, "These are the people; almost everyone has arrived."

Ren Xiaoyao nodded and said, "It's good that everyone is here. Let's all take a rest."

Everyone sat down, and Li Bubai spoke up, "I wonder what trouble that brat Wei Junzi has gotten into?"

Everyone shook their heads. Wang Lang said, "He didn't say either. When we asked on the Heavenly Profound Jade Talisman, he only said to wait until we arrive. It seems we're in big trouble."

Wuchenzi didn't speak, but he could roughly guess some of it.

“When I left the Nangong tribe, Wei Junzi asked me to help him pursue Nangong Wan, the chieftain of the Nangong tribe,” Wuchenzi said.

"Holy crap!" Wang Lang exclaimed upon hearing this, "Did he force himself on Chief Nangong? And that's why he was ambushed by the Nangong tribe?"

“If that’s the case,” Gu Hanqing said, “I absolutely will not care about him. I will never tolerate such scum’s behavior that crosses the line of morality. Let me make that clear from the outset.”

The two women, Mei Yaoshi and Long Mochou, also echoed Gu Hanqing's sentiments.

Ren Xiaoyao said, "Everyone, don't make wild guesses yet. We'll only know the situation when we see Wei Junzi. But don't worry, if Wei Junzi really does something so despicable, then we don't need to care about him. Just go to the Tianhe Department to do missions and let him fend for himself."

Everyone nodded in agreement. Although the people of Destiny had done all sorts of petty theft and murder after they transmigrated, they had a bottom line and would never do anything that crossed the line of morality.

If Wei Junzi had truly done such a thing, he would be despised by the people of Tianming. (End of Chapter)
