I am a fairy in Journey to the West

Chapter 468 Dragon Horse Suffers Disaster

Meanwhile, the Golden Cicada King absconded with the Eight Treasures Glazed Bottle and the Buddhist scriptures, transforming into a Taoist priest dressed in a feathered robe, and rode the demonic wind back to his cave.

After closing the cave entrance, King Golden Cicada immediately returned to his cave hall and took out the Eight Treasures Glass Bottle and Buddhist scriptures to examine them carefully.

First, look at the Buddhist scriptures. King Jin Chan simply placed his hand on the scriptures, and immediately he heard bursts of chanting, which were as mesmerizing and intoxicating as celestial music.

But King Jin Chan regained his senses in a very short time. Looking at the Buddhist scripture, he said, "This wonderful music is truly intoxicating, but it is also very dangerous. If you are not careful, you will be drawn into it and suffer more losses than gains."

At this point, King Jin Chan opened the Buddhist scripture, and the first thing you saw on the title page was five large characters: "The Great Compassion Heart Sutra".

As King Jin Chan recited these five words, his whole body trembled involuntarily. He then opened the scripture and looked at the first line of text.

Upon seeing this, the Golden Cicada King suddenly felt dizzy and disoriented. He quickly closed the scripture and circulated his magic power, and only after a moment did he feel slightly better.

So he opened the scripture again and looked at the first line of text. What came into view was a line of celestial script: "The World-Honored One said that the Brahma Mind Maha is vast, silent, and unheard."

The Golden Cicada King showed a pained expression, quickly pulled at the Buddhist scriptures, and after a long pause, said, "This is not something I can understand right now."

After saying that, he put the scripture away and then looked at the eight-treasure glass bottle.

"I wonder what use this magical treasure is?" After saying this, King Golden Cicada reached out and patted the bottle.

Suddenly, the sound of water sloshing in the bottle was heard. The Golden Cicada King quickly peered into the bottle and saw three divine lights moving back and forth, making a series of water sounds as they moved.

After a careful examination, the Golden Cicada King exclaimed in surprise, "There seem to be three drops of divine water inside, and that divine light is emitted from these three drops of divine water."

"What is the purpose of these three drops of divine water?" King Golden Cicada murmured to himself. "It would be great if I could release them to see."

No sooner had he finished speaking than the Eight Treasures Glazed Bottle suddenly shook, and then the three drops of divine water instantly flew out of the bottle.

Only then did the Golden Cicada King see clearly that the divine light on the three drops of divine water was distinct and dazzling, one being sunlight, one moonlight, and one starlight.

Just then, a rat crawled out of a crack in the rock. As the sunlight shone on it, the rat's blood, flesh, and bones were instantly obliterated, turning into ashes.

King Jinchan was startled, but the moonlight and starlight did not react at all. King Jinchan immediately understood, "So it is a weapon of destruction. The power of this Sunlight Divine Water is to obliterate blood essence and flesh. I wonder what the divine effects of the Moonlight Divine Water and the Starlight Divine Water are?"

After thinking for a moment, King Jin Chan put the Three Lights Divine Water into the glass bottle, and then pondered for a while and said, "There are two monsters, a jackal and a leopard, in this Dry Stream Mountain. They love to block the road and eat people. They have countless sins on their hands. Why don't we use them to test the treasure?"

Without hesitation, King Golden Cicada immediately picked up the Eight Treasures Glazed Bottle and went straight to find the two monsters.

The first one they found was the jackal spirit. The jackal spirit's cave contained three hundred monsters, making it the second largest force in this Kuliu Mountain.

After the Golden Cicada King arrived, he released the Three Lights Divine Water without saying a word.

In an instant, all the monsters in the Jackal Demon Cave were obliterated, their blood essence and flesh were destroyed, their primordial spirits and souls were corroded, and their true spirits and consciousness were devoured.

The jackal spirit didn't even have time to put up a fight before it was annihilated by the Three Lights Divine Water.

King Jin Chan was startled. He hadn't expected this treasure to be so powerful. Usually, when he clashed with this jackal demon, the two fought to a standstill, with each winning and losing. But he had never experienced anything like this massacre before.

After defeating the jackal demon, King Jin Chan became bolder and found the leopard demon's cave.

This leopard demon cave contains over a thousand monsters and is the largest demon cave in the Dry Stream Mountain. The entrance to the demon cave is piled high with human skeletons.

Without saying a word, King Jin Chan released the Three Lights Divine Water again. Without a doubt, the leopard demon and his more than a thousand subordinate monsters were also annihilated in an instant, leaving no trace of their bodies.

But King Jin Chan also figured it out: "The power of the Three Lights Divine Water is boundless. The Sunlight Divine Water grinds away blood essence, bones and flesh, the Moonlight Divine Water corrodes the primordial spirit and soul, and the Starlight Divine Water swallows away true spirit and consciousness."

King Golden Cicada realized he had truly snatched a treasure. "To be able to so easily annihilate these two jackal and leopard demons, this must be a divine treasure."

But he also knew that with his limited skills, he would definitely not be able to protect this treasure once its existence was revealed.

Leaving Kuliu Mountain is not an option, since his roots are here. Therefore, he can only try his best to improve his cultivation and magical power.

"It seems that only by cultivating into an immortal as soon as possible can I ensure my safety." Thinking of this, King Golden Cicada remembered the Buddhist scripture again.

"If I can understand that Buddhist scripture, becoming an immortal should be a piece of cake." King Jin Chan thought to himself, and immediately put away the Eight Treasures Glazed Bottle and returned to his Feather Transformation Cave.

King Jin Chan took out the Buddhist scriptures again and looked at them carefully, but each time he looked at them, he felt dizzy and lightheaded.

After persisting for three days, the Golden Cicada King could no longer hold on and collapsed to the ground, covered in sweat and panting heavily.

"No, only highly accomplished monks can understand these scriptures. Perhaps I can find a way out from here," King Golden Cicada thought to himself after recovering.

The location of each temple flashed through the mind of the Golden Cicada King, and he prepared to visit them one by one to ask the monks to annotate the scriptures for him.

Leaving aside how King Jin Chan visited the monks at the temple, after the two treasures, the Buddhist scriptures and the glass bottle, were stolen, Zhao Changchun fell seriously ill.

The story of that night spread like wildfire throughout Jinping Town, attracting many people from other places who came specifically to hear about it.

The Zhao family has been seeking out renowned doctors everywhere these days, but none of them have been able to cure Zhao Changchun's illness.

As the saying goes, physical ailments are easy to cure, but mental ailments are difficult to heal. Zhao Changchun clearly suffers from a mental ailment.

This heartache can only be cured by finding the two treasures: the Buddhist scriptures and the glass bottle.

Zhao Changchun's son held a high-ranking position in the imperial court. Upon hearing of this matter, he sent someone to bring back a renowned doctor from the capital, but it was to no avail.

In the end, the Zhao family could only hire sorcerers who could exorcise demons, hoping to subdue the monster and retrieve the two treasures.

But many sorcerers were invited, yet none of them could subdue the demons. Some perished in the demons' mouths within days of setting out, others couldn't even find the demons, and still others couldn't defeat them, let alone retrieve the treasures.

As time passed day by day, the Zhao family grew increasingly desperate, and Zhao Changchun himself became terminally ill and emaciated. Ironically, Zhao Changchun's son was now a high-ranking official in the court and a devoted son, so he issued a proclamation throughout the prefecture where the Zhao family lived, seeking a capable person to exorcise demons and monsters.

But a month passed and no one responded to the challenge. The legend of the Zhao family losing their treasure gradually became just a topic of conversation and no longer attracted attention.

However, on this very day, Jinping Town was in an uproar because a monk led four monsters into the town, and they were immediately surrounded by the townspeople.

The Zhao family soon heard about this. Zhao Changchun had a young daughter named Zhao Shu, who was sixteen years old. She was plump, beautiful, and slender.

She was recently troubled by her elderly father's serious illness, and when she heard that a monster had come to town, she brought her servants to see it.

Tang Sanzang and his companions were already used to this kind of scene. He simply smiled and kept nodding to the people on both sides of the road while riding his horse.

As for Sun Wukong and the White Dragon, the two walked at the front, completely ignoring the strange looks from the surrounding people.

Pigsy, carrying his rake, stood tall and proud, occasionally flashing a silly grin at the mortals on either side, which frightened everyone into backing away and causing children to cry.

Sha Wujing carried his luggage, walking silently with his head down, his face calm, without a smile, but also without any sign of hatred.

The white dragon led the purple dragon horse, his gaze calm and casual as he looked around. But in that instant, his eyes met a pair of clear, star-like eyes.

The little white dragon was stunned for a moment, then looked closely and found that it was an extremely beautiful young girl.

The little white dragon realized what was happening and immediately smiled, nodding slightly to the little girl.

In an instant, Zhao Shu's heart was filled with ripples. Her heart was pounding like a deer's, and her face turned red all the way to her neck.

Needless to say, the White Dragon's appearance was exceptional. As a dragon prince and an extremely rare jade dragon, he was naturally handsome and extraordinary. Although he had two white jade dragon horns on his forehead, it did not affect his dashing appearance at all.

Coupled with Xiao Bailong's own temperament, he was undoubtedly a great surprise to the sixteen-year-old girl who was just beginning to experience love.

At this moment, Sun Wukong asked Tang Sanzang on horseback, "Master, shall we beg for alms and find lodging in this town?"

Tang Sanzang shook his head and said, "There are too many people here, and you all have extraordinary appearances. To avoid disturbing the villagers, let's find a place to stay outside the town."

Sun Wukong responded, and then the group walked forward, soon leaving the town.

At this moment, Sun Wukong stopped and said, "Someone is following us."

Upon hearing this, Pigsy quickly looked behind him and saw a petite figure secretly hiding to the side.

"Hey, it's a little girl," Pigsy said with a smile.

Sun Wukong then said to the White Dragon, "Second Brother, you look better, go and ask her why she's following us."

The little white dragon nodded and then walked to the back. When Zhao Shu saw the little white dragon coming over, she immediately stopped hiding and stood there helplessly, her head down and her breathing very rapid.

The white dragon stepped forward, cupped his hands in greeting, and asked with a smile, "Miss, why are you following us?"

"Ah!" Zhao Shu was instantly extremely nervous. She secretly glanced at the little white dragon and then said, "I...I didn't follow you. I just came here to...play around."

"Oh, I misunderstood. Farewell." The little white dragon bowed again, then turned to leave.

Zhao Shu was afraid he would leave, so she quickly called out, "Hey, that guy..."

The white dragon turned around and looked at her with a puzzled expression, asking, "What's wrong?"

Suddenly, a mournful neighing of a horse came from afar, followed by exclamations of surprise from Tang Sanzang, Sun Wukong, and the others.

The White Dragon hurriedly turned around and saw the Purple Dragon Horse neigh loudly, then suddenly foam at the mouth and fall to the ground. Tang Sanzang was also thrown off and was almost crushed under the Purple Dragon Horse.

Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie rushed to help Tang Sanzang, while the White Dragon Horse, disregarding Zhao Shu, hurriedly ran back.

"Master, are you alright?" Little White Dragon asked, looking at Tang Sanzang who had been helped up.

Tang Sanzang shook his head, while Zhu Bajie kicked the Purple Dragon Horse and cursed, "What's wrong with you, you filthy wretch? If you crush Master to death, who will go on the journey to retrieve the scriptures?"

"Bajie!" Tang Sanzang sternly stopped Zhu Bajie, and then said, "Since the Purple Dragon Horse has followed me, it has never acted crazy. There must be a reason for it acting like this today."

After examining the horse, Sun Wukong said, "Master, the Purple Dragon Horse seems to be poisoned."

"What?!" Tang Sanzang and the others were startled and rushed over to check. Sure enough, they saw the Purple Dragon Horse lying on the ground, breathing rapidly, and constantly spitting out foul-smelling white foam.

After examining the horse, Tang Sanzang quickly said, "Quickly, the town isn't far from here. Go find a veterinarian to take a look at the Purple Dragon Horse."

Pigsy then said to Sandy, "Brother Sandy, were you the one who fed the horse yesterday?"

Sha Wujing said innocently, "I fed the horse yesterday no different from usual; it ate the same grass and fodder it usually eats."

Sun Wukong said, "Stop blaming each other for now. Let's quickly find a place to stay and tend to the horse. If we lose the horse, how will we ever get the scriptures, given Master's speed?"

The little white dragon said, "I'll go to town and find a place to settle down."

Zhao Shu had been watching this place from the beginning. When she saw that everyone was about to settle down and tend to their horses, and heard that Xiao Bailong was going to the town mayor to find a place, she immediately stepped forward to stop Xiao Bailong and said, "My family has stables and a veterinarian who specializes in tending horses. Moreover, my parents are devout believers who usually eat vegetarian food and chant Buddhist scriptures. They have the utmost respect for monks and nuns. You can come to my house."

Upon hearing this, the White Dragon was taken aback for a moment, then turned around to look at Tang Sanzang and the others.

Tang Sanzang also heard Zhao Shu's words. After a brief moment of thought, he put his palms together and said to Zhao Shu, "Namo Amitabha Buddha, then I will trouble you, Miss." (End of this chapter)
