I am a fairy in Journey to the West

Chapter 436 Easily Converted

Nangongbu Zongcheng, Qinghuatai.

Several young and beautiful maids placed the spiritual fruits and tea on the table, then bowed and withdrew.

Amidst the rising steam of tea, Wei Junzi recounted his experiences over the past period, leaving everyone looking at each other in bewilderment.

"I never expected that you actually managed to win over the chief of the Nangong tribe," Wuchenzi said. "It's truly lamentable that a poor guy from Earth could run to a fantasy world and manage to win over a female chief of a tribe."

Liu Huaqiang said, "What are you sighing about? On Earth, we may be poor and destitute, but now we are transmigrators. Just this identity alone is enough to make this female clan leader look up to us!"

"Don't say that," Wei Junzi said. "Love is about equality; no one is trying to climb the social ladder."

Wuchenzi cut straight to the point, asking, "So what exactly is your trouble?"

Wei Junzi said, "There are two problems. One is that the elders of the Nangong tribe oppose us being together, and the second is... a monk."

"What? A monk?" Wang Lang looked puzzled. "What does your relationship have to do with monks?"

Wei Junzi said, "That monk always wanted to ordain me as a monk, saying that I had an affinity with Buddhism."

"Six," Kong Liang said, "This tactic seems familiar."

Wuchenzi said, "In prehistoric novels, monks seem to have a connection with everything they see. Could it be that we've transmigrated into a prehistoric novel?"

"Bang!" Gu Hanqing slammed his hand on the table and said, "No matter where you are, this kind of monk is the most despicable. He needs to be taught a lesson."

After saying that, Gu Hanqing asked Wei Junzi, "Where is that monk?"

Wei Junzi said, "I will build a hut and live by the Lotus Creek, east of Qinghuatai."

"How far?" Gu Hanqing asked.

Wei Junzi said, "It's about seven or eight li, just keep walking along the streets and alleys."

Gu Hanqing immediately stood up and said, "I'll go and meet him. Who's coming with me?"

Kong Liang said, "I'll go with you."

Seeing this, Wuchenzi said, "Then I'll go with you."

Gu Hanqing nodded and said, "Three people are enough. You guys stay here. Wei Junzi, where's your little darling?"

Wei Junzi said, "She originally wanted to come with me to welcome you, but there were some matters to attend to in the clan, so she went to meet with the elders."

Ren Xiaoyao asked, "Are all the elders here?"

"?" Wei Junzi was taken aback for a moment, then looked at Ren Xiaoyao and asked, "What do you mean?"

Ren Xiaoyao asked, "What do you mean? Didn't you say that all the clan leaders of the Nangong tribe opposed your relationship with Nangong Wan? Then why are they calling Nangong Wan over? Has something important happened in the Nangong tribe these past few days?"

"Holy crap!" Wei Junzi exclaimed in shock. "They wouldn't imprison their own clan leader, would they?"

“Imprisonment is unlikely, but it’s quite possible that the entire clan will force Nangong Wan to sever ties with you,” Liu Huaqiang said.

Wei Junzi couldn't sit still any longer and stood up, saying, "No, I have to go find her."

Ren Xiaoyao stood up and said, "Gu Hanqing, Kong Liang, Wuchenzi, you go and deal with that monk. The rest of you go with Wei Junzi to find Nangong Wan."

"Alright." Everyone responded and stood up, then left the Blue and White Porcelain Terrace and went their separate ways.

Gu Hanqing, Kong Liang, and Wuchenzi arrived at Lotus Creek and searched along the stream until they finally found a thatched hut.

Inside the thatched hut, a white-robed monk sat upright, his appearance dignified and solemn.

Gu Hanqing and Kong Liang took a step forward, but Wuchenzi grabbed them both. Gu Hanqing frowned and asked, "What are you doing?"

Wuchenzi said, "This monk is unusual. There is golden light behind his head, which is somewhat like the merit wheel mentioned in the book."

"What golden light?" Gu Hanqing and Kong Liang were stunned for a moment, then looked at the monk carefully again. "There's nothing there. Are you hallucinating?" Kong Liang said.

Wuchenzi said, "This is my Daoist eye-opening technique. It didn't work on Earth before, but it works here."

As he spoke, the Buddha Amoghavajra opened his eyes and his gaze swept over Wuchenzi, Gu Hanqing, and Kong Liang in turn.

"Oh? So you're a disciple of the Shenxiao lineage." Bukongfo smiled at Wuchenzi.

Wuchenzi was startled and said, "You monk are truly remarkable. How did you figure that out?"

You should know that Wuchenzi was just a minor Taoist disciple in the Shangqing Palace of the Shenxiao Sect on Earth. To put it bluntly, he was just a beast of burden working for the Taoist temple. He had only become an apprentice, and after morning and evening prayers, he did all sorts of odd jobs. He hadn't even started learning any real skills yet.

The fact that this old monk could tell at a glance his origins on Earth was truly remarkable.

Amoghasiddhi smiled and said, "You have some Daoist energy on you. This humble monk can tell that you are a descendant of the Shenxiao Sect."

"Awesome." Wuchenzi gave a thumbs up.

Then, Amoghavajra looked at Gu Hanqing, slowly shook his head, and said, "This girl has neither Buddhist nor Taoist aura, but she does have some spiritual energy. She is the material for cultivating immortality."

"Really?" Gu Hanqing's eyes lit up, and her attitude towards Bukong Buddha immediately improved.

Amoghasiddhi smiled and said, "I will explain in detail to you later."

"Okay, okay, okay." Gu Qinghan nodded repeatedly.

Finally, Amoghavajra looked at Kong Liang, his eyes immediately lighting up. He said, "Young man, you have a deep affinity with Buddhism and possess a compassionate appearance. Your mother usually observes vegetarianism and recites Buddhist scriptures?"

"Amazing!" Kong Liang's eyes widened immediately. "You old monk, you're amazing! How did you know my mother is a vegetarian and a Buddhist? She is indeed a lay Buddhist."

Amoghasiddhi smiled slightly and said, "I can see the Buddhist connections behind you."

At this point, Amoghavajra closed his eyes slightly, instantly surveying the entire mortal world, and then frowned deeply.

“No, you are clearly ordinary people of this world, and your mother is a devout believer, so why can’t I find where you came from?” Amoghavajra asked, his face full of doubt. Hearing this, Kong Liang and Wuchenzi immediately exchanged a glance, and Wuchenzi asked, “Monk, since you know that his mother is a Buddhist, why can’t you see where he came from?”

The Buddha Amoghavajra did not speak, but instead formed a mudra with his hands, closed his eyes slightly, and began to deduce the secrets of heaven.

After an unknown amount of time, Amoghavajra slowly opened his eyes and said, "Are you all chosen ones?"

"You're only just realizing that?" Wuchenzi said. "I thought you'd figured it out already."

Amoghasiddhi smiled and said, "Some things can be seen at a glance. Some things, one may never see through in a lifetime." After saying this, Amoghasiddhi looked at the three of them and said, "The secrets of your origins have been obscured by the great supernatural beings, and this humble monk cannot see them."

“However,” Amoghavajra continued, “this humble monk knows that the three of you must be from a small world where all dharmas do not flourish and no supernatural phenomena exist.”

The three looked at each other in bewilderment. What the Buddha Amoghavajra said was indeed true. Wasn't Earth a place where all laws did not flourish and no supernatural phenomena existed?

At this moment, Amoghavajra looked at the three people and asked, "It seems that you three have come to see this humble monk?"

"Oh." Wuchenzi realized what was happening and immediately said, "I've come to see you, monk. Monk, I'm asking you, why are you making things difficult for my friend?"

Amoghasiddhi smiled and said, "Are you talking about that Mr. Wei?"

“That’s right,” Wuchenzi said. “We, the Chosen Ones, are not easy to bully. Even if you, monk, have extraordinary magical powers, if you offend us, we will skin you alive.”

"Hahaha." Amoghavajra laughed loudly, then stood up and said, "This humble monk did not make things difficult for him, but only wanted to help him escape the sea of ​​suffering and attain enlightenment as soon as possible."

Gu Hanqing said, "So you're trying to break up this couple? There's a saying that it's better to tear down a temple than to break up a marriage. You're too wicked, monk."

“Ah, you are mistaken, benefactor.” Amoghavajra came before Gu Hanqing and asked her, “This female benefactor, forgive my impertinence, but have you ever experienced human love?”

Gu Hanqing paused for a moment, then replied, "Yes, but that was just youthful naiveté."

“Hmm, I see that your primordial yin is still intact, so it seems you only tried it briefly?” said Amoghavajra.

Gu Hanqing nodded and said, "Yes, I'm not a casual person."

Kong Liang, who was standing to the side, said seriously, "There aren't many girls like this anymore."

Wuchenzi nodded seriously and said, "To be honest, that's true."

Gu Hanqing glared at the two of them, and then heard the Buddha Bukong say, "Since that's the case, female benefactor, if you had to choose between the path to immortality and worldly love, which would you choose?"

Gu Hanqing said, "Is that even a question? Of course I choose the path of immortality."

Amoghasiddhi Buddha laughed and said, "That's it. That Mr. Wei is obsessed with worldly love and is drowning in the sea of ​​suffering in the mortal world. This humble monk is saving him from the sea of ​​suffering. How can that be considered so evil?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Hanqing immediately nodded and said, "What you said makes sense." Then she said to Wuchenzi and Kong Liang, "I'm convinced by him."

Wuchenzi said, "The monk is talking nonsense. You keep saying you can save people from suffering, but where do you get the ability? You're just trying to deceive people with your words."

Amoghasiddhi smiled slightly, raised his hand and plucked a lotus bud from the lotus stream.

Amoghasiddhi presented the lotus bud to Wuchenzi and said, "Peel back the bud, and you will see the true Dharma."

Wuchenzi looked at Bukong Buddha as if he were a conman, then took the lotus flower and began to peel it.

The instant Wuchenzi peeled open all the lotus buds, a golden light burst forth, instantly enveloping Wuchenzi completely.

Kong Liang and Gu Hanqing looked over warily, but soon the golden light dissipated, and Wuchenzi slowly revealed his figure.

"Are you alright?" Kong Liang asked quickly.

Wuchenzi looked somewhat dazed, his emotions quite complex, but he snapped out of it after hearing Kong Liang's question, and looked at the Buddha Bukong with a blank gaze, saying, "I've been convinced by you too."

Kong Liang looked speechless and said, "Then it's just me left."

Amoghavajra looked directly at Kong Liang and smiled, “Your mother’s surname is Zhou, her given name is Caihuan, she is fifty-one years old this year, she has been vegetarian and chanting Buddhist scriptures for twenty-nine years, accumulating more than five thousand merits, this humble monk can bestow blessings upon her, extending her life by thirty years.”

After listening, Kong Liang bowed deeply and said, "Master, you have convinced me too."

Amoghasiddhi nodded slightly and said with a smile, "Why don't the three of you convert to Buddhism? With your talents and good fortune, it won't be difficult for you to attain immortality in the future."

“But I don’t want to become a nun,” Gu Hanqing said. “I don’t want to be a monk.”

Wuchenzi said, "I am a disciple of the Daoist sect, and I cannot betray my sect."

Kong Liang said, "I don't care." After saying that, he bowed directly to Bukong Buddha and called him "Master." Bukong Buddha's expression changed. Was he really that direct?

He only wanted to guide these destined individuals into Buddhism, but he didn't say he would directly accept disciples. It's just that his seniority is too high, and if anyone is to be accepted, it would be the bodhisattvas under him.

But Kong Liang immediately became a disciple, catching Amoghavajra off guard.

Amoghasiddhi hurriedly said, "Hey, there's no rush to become a disciple. This humble monk is not accepting disciples for the time being."

"Then what are you talking about?" Kong Liang roared, taking out his Wind and Fire Fan to teach Bukong Buddha a lesson.

Amoghavajra waved his hand, and the Wind and Fire Fan disappeared directly from Kong Liang's hand and appeared in Amoghavajra's hand instead.

Kong Liang was startled, and Wu Chenzi and Gu Hanqing were also shocked, gaining a new understanding of the power of the Buddha Bukong.

The Buddha Amoghavajra laughed and said, “Young people, don’t be impatient. Although I don’t accept disciples, you can follow me in cultivation. You don’t need to become monks or nuns, and you won’t be bound by any rules or regulations. Rest assured, I will not hold anything back. I will definitely teach you the methods of cultivation and immortality. What do you say?”

Gu Hanqing and Kong Liang exchanged a glance, then immediately bowed and said, "From now on, we will follow you, Master."

Amoghasiddhi was overjoyed. He had thought that the chosen one would be difficult to save, but he had not expected it to be so easy. It seemed that his worries were unnecessary.

Wuchenzi remained silent. After a moment of contemplation, Bukongfo said, "This humble monk also knows many Taoist immortals, including your Shenxiao Sect's Celestial Master Sa, Chonghezi, and Lin Lingsu. You can come here to cultivate first, and I will introduce you to these Taoist patriarchs and immortals in the future. What do you say?"

Wuchenzi chuckled softly, then his expression turned serious. He quickly stepped forward, grasped Bukongfo's hand, and shook it vigorously, saying, "Then thank you, Great Monk."

Having easily converted three chosen ones, the old Buddha Amoghavajra's face beamed with a smile even more radiant than the lotus flower in his hand. (End of Chapter)
