I am a fairy in Journey to the West

"Tell me, these chosen ones dared to demolish even the temple of the True Martial Emperor, and even killed the True Martial Emperor's generals, the Turtle and the Snake. What else could they be but demons?"

Kitanobu's castle has been rebuilt. On the castle tower, a handsome young man with red lips and white teeth, dressed in a green-sashed, red-lotus fairy robe, spoke with a furious expression.

The Giant Spirit God said, "It seems that the Supreme Emperor of the Dark Heaven has not been angry."

Marshal Deng said, "Although the Turtle and Snake Generals are dead, as long as they cultivate for several lifetimes and attain enlightenment again, they can return to serve under the Xuantian Emperor. The Xuantian Emperor will not be angry over such a trivial matter."

Nezha slammed his hand on the wall brick and said, "I've come here to avenge the Turtle and Snake Generals and to vent the anger of His Majesty the True Martial Emperor."

As soon as he finished speaking, Nezha looked up and saw auspicious clouds gathering above a tall building in the city. He frowned slightly and asked, "What is that place? Why are there auspicious clouds and lucky energy swirling around it?"

Marshal Xin glanced at it and suddenly said, "That looks like Buddha's light?"

"Buddha's light?" Nezha's eyes lit up, and he said, "Let's go take a look."

So the group went down from the city wall and came to the foot of the tall building. This tall building was a Dharma pavilion built by the Kitano tribe, which enshrined the statues of Amoghasiddhi Buddha and the bodhisattvas of the Heavenly Sound Holy Realm.

"The Unfailing Dharma Realm?" Marshal Liu uttered the name once, then said, "Is this a pagoda built for the Buddha Amoghavajra?"

"You'll know once you go in and take a look," Nezha said casually, then walked straight inside.

As soon as Nezha and the others entered the building, they saw the Bodhisattva Jidi coming towards them, with his hands clasped together and a smile saying, "This humble monk respectfully welcomes the Great God of the Three Altars and Seas, the Five Marshals, and General Julingtian."

Upon seeing the Bodhisattva Gatha, everyone naturally understood that this was the stupa of Amoghasiddhi, and so they all returned the greeting, saying, "Thank you, Bodhisattva."

The Bodhisattva Jidi smiled slightly and then said to Nezha, "Third Prince, Five Marshals, Giant Spirit General, I am waiting for you at the top of the tower. Please follow me."

Upon hearing that Amoghavajra was here, Nezha and the others became solemn and said, "Please."

Upon reaching the top of the tower, one finds lotus flowers in full bloom and lush green leaves.

Amoghasiddhi sits on a lotus flower, his hands forming a mudra, with a smile on his face.

Nezha and the others quickly stepped forward, stepping on lotus leaves to reach the Buddha Amoghavajra and bowed, saying, "Greetings, Buddha Amoghavajra."

Amoghasiddhi clasped his hands together, smiled and returned the greeting. Then, seven lotus flowers rose up. Amoghasiddhi pointed and said, "Please be seated, everyone."

The group bowed in thanks and then sat down on the lotus flower.

After everyone was seated, Amoghavajra asked, "Why have you all descended to the mortal realm?"

Nezha said, "We have heard that there are people destined by Heaven causing trouble in Beiju Luzhou, so we have specially asked the Xuanwu Emperor to come down and subdue them."

The Buddha Amoghavajra looked slightly surprised and said, "This mortal realm is ruled by the True Lord of the Spirit Platform, and even the Supreme Emperor of the Mysterious Heaven cannot interfere."

Marshal Bi laughed and said, "Xuantian Shangdi has the authorization talisman of Lingtai Zhenjun, so Xuantian Shangdi has the authorization to send people down to Beiju Luzhou."

"I see." Amoghavajra nodded.

At this moment, several young monks offered him sacred tea, and Amoghavajra picked up the teacup and said, "Please."

Nezha and the others took a sip of tea, and then the Giant Spirit God asked, "Buddha Bukong, what are you doing here in the Northern Wilderness Clan City?"

Amoghasiddhi laughed and asked, "Why do you think that is?"

The Giant Spirit said, "Are you here to spread the Dharma? I have heard that the people of Beiju Luzhou do not believe in gods and Buddhas, and never build any other temples or shrines except for the temple of the True Martial Emperor. But now this city not only has Buddhist temples and shrines, but also such a large pagoda."

Upon hearing this, Amoghavajra remained silent. However, the Bodhisattva Shanyin, who was standing to the side, said, “In the past, those people of destiny harmed all living beings and destroyed the temples of the True Martial Emperor. The World Honored One sent us down to save the living beings. We have worked diligently to bestow blessings and auspicious omens upon all living beings and relieve their suffering. Out of gratitude, the people of the Northern Wilderness spontaneously built these Buddhist temples and pagodas.”

"I see," the Giant Spirit God said with a smile. "No wonder they didn't rebuild the temple of the True Martial Emperor. They probably thought the True Martial Emperor couldn't protect them, right?"

Upon hearing this, Marshal Pang, who was drinking tea, immediately spat out his tea. Nezha and the other four marshals also stared wide-eyed at the Giant Spirit God.

The giant spirit scratched his head, looking bewildered, and said, "Why are you all looking at me? I'm just telling the truth."

After saying this, the Giant Spirit God looked at the Buddha Amoghavajra and saw that his expression was also a little off. So he said, "Buddha Amoghavajra, I, the Giant Spirit God, am an honest man. If I have said anything wrong, please do not blame me."

Amoghasiddhi shook his head and smiled, "There is no right or wrong, only truth."

"Oh," the giant spirit scratched his head again, "Buddha's words are too profound, I really can't understand them."

Nezha said, "If you don't understand, then listen carefully. If that doesn't work, then just drink your tea and don't interrupt."

The giant spirit chuckled and said, "Understood."

At this moment, Bodhisattva Yutuo entered and bowed to Buddha Amoghavajra, saying, "World Honored One, Kitano Tenbu, the chieftain of the Kitano tribe, requests an audience."

"Oh?" Amoghavajra raised an eyebrow and said, "It must be about the Han army's attack."

At this point, Amoghavajra looked at Nezha and the others and said, "Third Prince, five marshals, and General Giant Spirit, please sit in the small pavilion to the side. After I have met with Chief Beiye, I will talk with you all. How does that sound?"

Nezha asked, "Is the Han army the side of those chosen ones?"

Amoghasiddhi nodded and said, "That's right."

Nezha laughed and said, "That's perfect. We've also come to subdue the chosen one. Let's meet Chief Beiye together."

"This," Amoghasiddhi immediately laughed and said, "Alright then." Then he said to Yutuo Bodhisattva, "Quickly go and invite Chief Kitano to this place."

"As you command," Bodhisattva Yu Tuo replied, then turned and left.

Before long, Bodhisattva Yu Tuo brought Kitano Tenbu to the pavilion. As a creature from Beiju Luzhou who possessed divine power, Kitano Tenbu was not surprised by the wondrous scene before him.

He was only somewhat surprised by the people sitting on either side of the Buddha, especially the general whose physique was even more imposing and powerful than his own, who gave off a tremendous sense of oppression.

But Kitano Tenbu quickly withdrew his gaze, stepped onto a lotus leaf and came to the Buddha Amoghavajra, put his hands together and bowed, saying, "Kitano Tenbu pays respects to the Buddha Amoghavajra."

“Chief Kitano, there’s no need for such formalities. Please take a seat,” said Amoghavajra, pointing to the lotus flower beside him.

Kitano Tenbu bowed in thanks, then rose and sat down on the lotus, and said, "I beseech Amoghavajra to extend his compassion and great power to save my Kitano tribe from this perilous situation."

Amoghasiddhi asked, "Chief Beiye is referring to the invasion of the Beiye tribe by the Han army and the Mandate of Heaven, isn't he?"

Kitano Tenbu replied, "Yes, Your Majesty, that is indeed the matter."

Amoghasiddhi nodded slightly and said, "This humble monk has come down to the mortal realm to guide these chosen ones to the right path. As for the Han army, it is beyond my ability to stop them."

Kitano Tenbu was taken aback for a moment, then asked, "Venerable One, why is this?"

Nezha, standing nearby, said, "Don't you understand? Those chosen ones are demons, and the Buddha can save them. But those Han soldiers are beings from Beiju Luzhou. How can the Buddha attack them?" Kitano Tenmu suddenly realized and immediately bowed, saying, "Please, World Honored One, save those chosen ones. As for the Han army, my Kitano tribe will fight them with all our might."

Amoghasiddhi asked, "Where is the chosen one?"

Kitano Tenbu said, "They've already reached outside the city."

The bodhisattvas on both sides were taken aback, not expecting the chosen one to arrive so quickly. Amoghavajra calculated with his fingers and then said, "They've arrived so quickly."

Upon hearing this, Nezha immediately stood up and said, "Well done! Watch me kill those chosen ones one by one."

Amoghasiddhi smiled at Nezha and said, "Third Prince, don't be in a hurry. Come with me."

After saying this, Amoghavajra asked Kitano Tenbu, "Please, Chief Kitano and all the elders, go up to the city wall first. This humble monk and the bodhisattvas will follow shortly."

Upon hearing this, Kitano Tenbu immediately stood up and bowed to Amoghavajra, saying, "Thank you, Venerable One. We will be going now."

After saying that, Kitano Tenbu turned and left the Bukong Dharma Realm, but he did not return to the sect's residence. Instead, he went directly to the west gate of the sect city.

The original Tianhe tribe, now the Han Kingdom, is located to the west of the Beiye tribe. They are now attacking from the west and have stationed their troops below the west gate.

With all the elders of the Kitano clan leading their respective warriors to defend the city, Kitano Tenbu naturally could not retreat back to his clan's residence.

When Kitano Tenbu arrived at the West Gate tower, Kitano Asahi stepped forward and said, "Clan leader, the lady wishes to leave the city."

"What?" Kitano Tenbu was stunned. "Why is she here?"

Kitano Asahi said with a troubled expression, "Madam is very agitated. She just scolded Tianhe Xun on the city wall and now she says she wants to go out of the city to talk to Tianhe Xun."

Upon hearing this, Kitano Tenbu flew into a rage and said, "This is utter nonsense! What does this have to do with a woman like her? Where is she?"

Kitano Asahi said, "I persuaded him to stay, and he's resting in the city gate tower now."

Kitano Tenbu hurriedly entered the city gate tower, only to see Tenkawa Saiping sitting there with an angry and indignant expression.

"Madam, I heard you're leaving the city?" Kitano Tenbu asked as he stepped forward.

Upon seeing Kitano Tenbu arrive, a hint of guilt appeared on Tenkawa Caiping's angry face. She stood up and said, "Husband, let me go out and scold Tenkawa Xun to his face."

“Nonsense! You should go back to the main residence right now and take charge. This is not a place for you,” Kitano Tenbu said.

Tianhe Caiping said angrily, "Since he disregards our kinship, why should I acknowledge him as my brother? Let me out. If I can get close to him, I'll stab him to death."

Kitano Tenbu was startled and hurriedly said, "You're confused. He has so many people around him who are destined for greatness. Do you think you can kill them? Besides, Tenko's strength is no less than mine. You can't do anything to him."

At this point, Kitano Tenbu stepped forward and hugged Tenhe Caiping, saying softly, "The elders and I have all come out. Now the manor needs someone to take charge. Why don't you go back to the manor and take charge of the overall situation?"

Tianhe Caiping's heart softened, and then she sighed and said, "In the end, it is our Tianhe tribe that has let down the Kitano tribe."

"Don't say that," Kitano Tenbu laughed. "There's always a way out. Don't worry, the reason the Tianhe tribe is doing this is because they have the help of the chosen ones. Now that Amoghavajra and all the Bodhisattvas have arrived, as long as Amoghavajra subdues those chosen ones, the Tianhe tribe will naturally retreat."

Upon hearing this, Tianhe Caiping was delighted and asked, "Really?"

“Of course, Amoghavajra and the others will arrive here soon. You can return to your residence after you see them,” Kitano Tenbu said.

Upon hearing this, Tianhe Caiping nodded and said, "Okay."

As soon as Kitano Tenbu finished speaking, a thousand-foot-long Buddha light shone upon Kitanobu's castle, followed by a thousand-foot-long auspicious radiance and ten thousand auspicious clouds spreading across the sky.

Kitano Tenbu hurriedly led Tenkawa Caiping, Kitano Asahi, and the Kitano followers and stewards on the west gate tower to greet them. They saw Amoghavajra, along with seven bodhisattvas and Nezha and others, arrive on auspicious clouds and land on the west gate tower.

Kitano Tenbu and the Kitano clan bowed and said, "Welcome to the Venerable Amoghasiddhi Buddha."

Amoghasiddhi smiled slightly and said, "There's no need for such formalities." Then, with a flick of his sleeve, a burst of spiritual light lifted up all those who had bowed down.

Tianhe Caiping, a devout Buddhist, was naturally overjoyed to see Amoghavajra and immediately bowed again, saying, "Believer Tianhe Caiping greets the World-Honored Buddha."

Amoghasiddhi glanced at Tianhe Caiping, then took out a scroll of scripture from his sleeve and said, "This is the Amoghasiddhi Sutra, which is the Dharma that I comprehended in the Sacred Realm of Heavenly Sound. Go back and study it carefully, and you will gain something from it."

Looking at the golden scriptures before her, Tianhe Caiping was moved to tears. She quickly reached out her hands to receive the scriptures, then kowtowed and said, "Disciple thanks the World Honored One."

After getting up, Kitano Tenbu quickly invited Bukongfo into the gatehouse to sit down, and then said to Tianhe Caiping, "Madam, can you go back to the manor now?"

Upon hearing this, Tianhe Caiping immediately put away the scriptures, bowed to Amoghavajra and the others, and left.

Then Kitano Tenbu led Amoghavajra and the others into the city gate tower and took their seats. Just as they sat down, they suddenly heard a loud shout from outside: "Kitano Tenbu, come out and answer me."

A deacon rushed in and said, "Chief, a chosen one has come down from the city and wants you to come out and speak with him."

Kitano Tenbu immediately looked at Amoghavajra, who said, "Go out and see what he has to say."

Kitano Tenbu immediately stood up and replied, "Yes." Then he walked out of the gate tower and went to the city wall to look down.

There he saw the man of destiny riding a rhinoceros made of iron, looking up at him. Kitano Tenbu immediately said, "I am Kitano Tenbu. Who are you? Tell Tenga to come out and talk to me."

The man of destiny said, "My name is Du Zongyuan, and I am the man of destiny. I have come here on the orders of the Prime Minister of the Great Han Dynasty to summon you to answer my questions."

Kitano Tenbu asked, "And who is your prime minister?"

A short while later, a middle-aged man rode a rhinoceros made of iron. It was Ren Xiaoyao. After arriving at the city, Ren Xiaoyao said loudly, "I am Ren Xiaoyao, the Prime Minister of the Great Han Dynasty."

Kitano Tenbu glanced at him and asked, "Oh, it's you. What do you want to say to me?"

Ren Xiaoyao cupped his hands and said, "Chief of the Beiye tribe, our Great Han's expedition this time is only to pacify Guanling Prefecture, not to annihilate the Beiye tribe. As long as your Beiye tribe is willing to surrender, everyone in the Beiye tribe will be granted official positions and receive riches and honors, and you, Chief of the Beiye tribe, along with the elders and deacons, will also be granted titles of nobility. As for the common people of the Beiye tribe, our Great Han will not discriminate against them, but will treat them the same as the common people of the Tianhe tribe, allowing them to continue living peacefully and prosperously in their original places. Wouldn't it be wonderful if the country were peaceful and the people were happy?!"

"Dream on!" Kitano Tenbu roared. "Your Tianhe tribe has broken your promise, tearing up our marriage alliance. Not only did you send troops to attack my Kitano tribe, but you also want to seize my land. You have no shame or integrity whatsoever. You want my Kitano tribe to surrender? Don't even think about it!"

After saying that, Kitano Tenbu suddenly grabbed a bow and arrow from behind him, drew the bow, and shot an arrow at Ren Xiaoyao.

The arrow struck Ren Xiaoyao squarely between the eyebrows with lightning speed, piercing through the clouds. A burst of blood-red light erupted, and Ren Xiaoyao vanished in a flash of white light.

Du Zongyuan, who was standing nearby, was startled. After realizing what had happened, he cursed, "Kitano Tenbu, you son of a bitch, you have no sportsmanship! How dare you launch a sneak attack?!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than another arrow shot out, and Du Zongyuan was instantly transformed into a white light after a burst of blood.

The iron-skinned rhinoceros the two were riding turned around and galloped back. (End of Chapter)
