I am a fairy in Journey to the West

Tang Sanzang first bowed to the Bodhisattva Zhunti, the Yellow-Eyebrowed Boy, the Golden-Winged Roc, the Green Lion, and the White Elephant to express his gratitude. Then he came to the Fire Spirit Immortal and bowed, saying, "Since I began my journey to the West, I have received much help from you. I am deeply grateful."

Fire Spirit Immortal laughed and said, "Holy Monk, you flatter me. It was just a small favor."

After saying this, the Fire Spirit Immortal said to the White Dragon and Sandy behind Tang Sanzang, "You two will have to come with me to the Eastern Continent."

The White Dragon and Sha Wujing were taken aback for a moment, then asked, "Shangqing, should we go over there?"

Fire Spirit Immortal smiled and said, "Naturally, it's about reshaping the physical body."

Upon hearing this, the two looked at Bodhisattva Zhunti. Bodhisattva Zhunti smiled slightly and said, "Valley Mountain can naturally reshape your physical bodies, but every wrong has its perpetrator and every debt its debtor. This matter should be handled by the owner of the Eight Treasures Glazed Vase."

The White Dragon and Sandy suddenly realized what was happening and immediately bowed to the Fire Spirit Immortal, saying, "Yes, Your Excellency."

Afterwards, the White Dragon and Sandy bid farewell to Tang Sanzang and then went with the Fire Spirit Immortal. As for the Golden Cicada King, the Fire Spirit Immortal also took him with him.

There are two shortest routes across the continents: one is a road in the sky, and the other is a road on the ground.

The path in the sky is the four heavenly gates of the Heavenly Court. After ascending to the Heavenly Court, one descends through the four heavenly gates and directly reaches the continent corresponding to each gate.

The underground path leads to the underworld. The entrance is the Ghost Gate of the Divine Mountain, guarded by the Five Ghost Emperors. Once inside, you enter the underworld, and then exit through the Ghost Gate of the corresponding continent.

That's why True Immortal Huo Ling was able to arrive so quickly from Dong Sheng Shen Zhou to Xiniu He Zhou.

Fire Spirit Immortal led the three to Mount Baizhong, where the Western Ghost Emperor Zhao Wenhe was stationed.

In fact, the Five Ghost Emperors do not wield great power, but they share one thing in common with the Five Sacred Mountains Emperors.

That is, the Five Sacred Mountains Emperors are the highest-ranking 'mountain gods', and the highest-ranking mountain god is the Five Sacred Mountains Emperor.

The Five Ghost Emperors are the highest-level gatekeepers, but they don't guard ordinary gates; they guard the 'Ghost Gates' of the five directions of heaven and earth.

The person in charge of receiving the Fire Spirit Immortal was the Jade Palace Minister of the Western Ghost Palace, 'Master Wang'. He opened the Ghost Gate for the Fire Spirit Immortal, and the Fire Spirit Immortal led everyone into the Underworld and arrived at the place of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.

"The Jade Palace Minister of the Eastern Peak Heavenly Qi Divine Palace pays respects to Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva." Fire Spirit True Immortal stood in the hall and bowed to Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva sat on the throne and reached out to help Huo Ling Zhenxian up, saying, "Your Excellency, there is no need for such formalities. Please rise."

"Thank you, Bodhisattva." True Immortal Huo Ling bowed in gratitude, then straightened up.

As for the Golden Cicada King behind him, he immediately knelt down and kowtowed, saying, "This little demon Golden Cicada pays respects to Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva."

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva looked at Jin Chan and laughed, "You little demon, you've been quite the showman these past few days."

"I dare not. This lowly demon has strayed from the right path and, relying on my weapon, has killed and injured you all. I deeply regret it," said King Golden Cicada, bowing his head.

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva smiled faintly and said, "Put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot. Since you have already repented, it is not too late. Rise."

King Jin Chan felt relieved and immediately kowtowed to apologize, saying, "Yes, this little demon thanks Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva for his forgiveness."

After King Jin Chan got up, True Immortal Huo Ling bowed to Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha and said, "Please issue a decree to summon the deceased Huian Xingzhe, the Five Directions Jiedi and other immortals, so that they may go with me to Xuanjiao to reshape their physical bodies."

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva nodded and said, "Good."

So he ordered the judge in the palace to issue an edict, and soon after, he summoned Huian, the pilgrim who was copying scriptures in the left hall, and the Five Directions Protectors.

"Huh? Third Brother?" Sha Wujing asked, "Hasn't he returned yet?"

The little white dragon said, "I'll go find him."

But the judge in the hall laughed and said, "You don't know how long it will take you to find him. Let the Ghost King take some ghost soldiers and you will find him soon."

Then the judge in the hall summoned the Ghost King Zifan and said to him, "Tang Sanzang's third disciple, Zhu Bajie, has gone to Fengdu Ghost City. Take some ghost soldiers and go find him."

The Ghost King accepted the order and left. In less than half an hour, he brought back Pigsy, who was drunk and in a mess.

Seeing Pigsy so drunk, the White Dragon Horse and Sandy could only shake their heads helplessly and go up to help him.

As a result, Pigsy, who had been brought here all this way, was just being supported by the White Dragon Horse and Sandy when he vomited it all up.

Of course, in his current soul state, he couldn't vomit anything; he simply vomited all the wine he had drunk earlier onto the main hall.

Everyone who saw this shook their heads, and the judge in the hall even looked up at the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.

The White Dragon and Sandy's expressions changed, and they quickly found something to gag Pigsy, then apologized to Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva waved his hand and said with a smile, "Quickly take him to rebuild his physical body, and then escort Tang Sanzang on his journey to the West."

"Yes." The White Dragon and Sandy responded, then carried Pigsy away with the Fire Spirit Immortal.

Fire Spirit Immortal led everyone directly from the Underworld to the Eastern Ghost Palace, where they were received by Shen Tu, the Jade Palace Minister of the Eastern Ghost Palace.

The Eastern Ghost Emperor is Cai Yulei, whose capital is Taozhi Mountain. He is often listed as a door god alongside Shen Tu.

However, their door gods are the same; they are all door gods who guard the gates of heaven and earth and the gates of ghosts, and of course, they are also responsible for exorcising evil spirits and exorcising ghosts.

After passing through the Eastern Ghost Gate, the group arrived at Peach Blossom Mountain and reached the territory of the Eastern Divine Continent. Without stopping, they went straight to the Xuan Sect.

Here, Liu Yan, the Grand Commandant of the Demon Subduing Division of the Eastern Peak Heavenly Qi Divine Palace, was already waiting in front of the mountain gate, along with the Jade Cauldron True Man, the head of the Golden Immortals of the Xuan Sect.

"Your Excellency." Liu Yan greeted him immediately upon seeing Huo Ling Zhenxian land.

Master Yu Ding also stepped forward, waved his whisk, and bowed to Immortal Huo Ling, saying, "This humble Taoist, Yu Ding, pays respects to Minister Huo Ling."

Fire Spirit Immortal returned the greeting with clasped hands, then asked Liu Yan, "Is everything arranged?"

Liu Yan said, "Reporting to the High Minister, the Daoist Tongtian is already waiting in the hall."

At this moment, Master Yuding also gestured and said, "Your Excellency, please."

Fire Spirit Immortal nodded, and then led everyone, under the guidance of Jade Cauldron Immortal, into the Xuanjiao Mountain Gate, and all the way to the Qian Guang Hall of Biyou Palace.

Upon entering the Qian Guang Hall, True Man Yu Ding bowed to Daoist Tong Tian at the head of the hall and said, "Sect Leader, Minister Huo Ling and the others have arrived." He then stood to one side of the hall.

Tongtian Daojun smiled at Huoling Zhenxian and said, "Huoling Shangqing, did you bring back my magic treasure?"

Fire Spirit Immortal took out the Eight Treasures Glazed Bottle, and the little boy beside him quickly stepped forward, took the Eight Treasures Glazed Bottle, turned around and walked up the palace steps, presenting it to Tongtian Daojun.

Tongtian Daojun accepted the Eight Treasures Glazed Bottle and then smiled and said, "Thank you for your trouble, Minister Huoling."

Fire Spirit Immortal smiled and said, "Daoist Tongtian, your magic weapon has killed quite a few people. The task of reshaping the physical body still falls to the Xuan Sect."

"That's natural." Tongtian Daojun smiled slightly and said, "It's simple. Let those who are reshaping their physical bodies come forward."

Fire Spirit Immortal turned to Little White Dragon, Huian Walker, Five Directions Protector and others and said, "Come forward."

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately stepped forward, and Huo Ling Zhenxian introduced, "This person in the hall is the leader of the Xuan Sect, Tongtian Daojun."

Everyone immediately bowed and saluted Tongtian Daojun, who waved his hand and said with a smile, "No need for formalities, just stand still."

After saying this, Tongtian Daojun threw the Eight Treasures Glazed Bottle into the air, and the Three Lights Divine Water flew out from the mouth of the bottle.

The Golden Cicada King, standing behind, was utterly bewildered by this scene. Wasn't the Three Lights Divine Water meant to kill? Why summon the Three Lights Divine Water to reshape the physical body?
But he quickly understood. With a flick of his whisk, the Three Lights Divine Water gathered together and merged, eventually becoming a single drop of divine dew radiating three-colored divine light. The dew flew to the heads of the White Dragon and the others, overflowing with brilliance and radiant with jade-like beauty. Suddenly, it separated into nine drops of jade dew, also radiating three-colored divine light, which then fell upon the nine members of the White Dragon group.

As the jade dew dripped onto the nine people, it immediately merged with their souls, and a three-colored radiance shone forth, instantly enveloping the nine people's souls.

The main hall was filled with dazzling light, and celestial energy gathered from all directions.

After an unknown amount of time, the three-colored divine dew flew back to the top of the Eight Treasures Glazed Bottle, re-divided into the Three Lights Divine Water, and finally returned to the Eight Treasures Glazed Bottle.

Then the glow on the nine people, including the White Dragon, dissipated. The nine people had already separated from their divine soul forms, reshaped their physical bodies, and returned to the mortal world.

Moreover, the reconstructed body is exactly the same as before, without any difference.

Upon seeing this, the Golden Cicada King couldn't help but exclaim, "Truly a treasure born of the power of heaven and earth!"

The eight people, whose bodies had been reconstructed, looked at their new bodies with surprise and joy. Then they all stepped forward to thank Tongtian Daojun. Only Zhu Bajie was still lying there, fast asleep, occasionally snoring.

Tongtian Daojun put away the Eight Treasures Glazed Bottle and said to the nine people, "Your new physical body still needs to be carefully nurtured. It is best not to fight with others within a month."

The crowd replied, "We understand."

Then the Five Directions Protectors took their leave first. After bidding farewell, they left the Xuanjiao Mountain Gate and returned to Xiniu Hezhou.

After the Five Directions Exorcists left, Huian Xingzhe also bid farewell to Huoling Zhenxian and Tongtian Daojun in turn, and returned to Luojia Mountain in the South China Sea.

In the end, only the White Dragon Horse, Sandy, and Pigsy remained. Seeing this, Fire Spirit Immortal laughed and said, "I'll see you off one last time."

The White Dragon and Sandy quickly bowed and thanked him, saying, "Then thank you very much, Your Excellency."

Afterwards, Huo Ling Zhenxian bid farewell to Tongtian Daojun, asking Liu Yan to return to Dongyue Shenfu first, while he himself took Xiaobailong, Sha Wujing, Zhu Bajie, and Jin Chan Dawang to Xiniu Hezhou.

On the way, the little white dragon asked the Fire Spirit Immortal, "Shangqing, Tongtian Daojun is far away in Dongsheng Shenzhou. How did his magic treasure end up in Xiniu Hezhou?"

This statement also has a hidden meaning: why Fire Spirit True Immortal did not punish Tongtian Daojun.

Upon hearing this, True Immortal Huo Ling laughed and said, "It is all due to the will of Heaven."

Upon hearing this, the White Dragon stopped asking questions. There are usually two possibilities for this kind of answer: one is that it is truly the will of Heaven, and the other is that those who understand the first one already understand.

Upon arriving at Xiniu Hezhou, the White Dragon Horse and Sandy brought Pigsy to the Zhao residence to meet Tang Sanzang.

Tang Sanzang was overjoyed to see his three disciples return unharmed. After listening to the White Dragon's account of what had happened, he stepped forward and bowed deeply to the Fire Spirit Immortal to express his gratitude.

After the Fire Spirit Immortal helped Tang Sanzang up, who was bowing to him, Tang Sanzang took out a scroll of scripture from his robes and said, "I have heard that you, my lord, are quite knowledgeable about Buddhism. I have a scroll of scripture here that I would like to offer to you as a token of my gratitude."

Fire Spirit Immortal laughed and said, "Holy Monk, you are too kind." But he still accepted the scripture, opened it, and saw that it was the "Great Compassion Heart Sutra".

The Fire Spirit Immortal possessed extremely high attainments in Buddhism. Back in Xiniu Hezhou, few eminent monks from various temples could out-debate her.

You must know that the eminent monks of that time had all become immortals, but they all perished in the great calamity of Buddha and demon. They are not comparable to the so-called 'eminent monks' of Xiniu Hezhou today.

"This is the first time I've seen this scripture. Hmm, it is indeed quite profound and worth reading." True Immortal Fire Spirit recognized the scripture's extraordinary nature at a glance, then put the scripture away and said, "Then thank you very much, Holy Monk."

Tang Sanzang quickly returned the greeting, saying, "You're too kind, Your Excellency."

Then, the Fire Spirit Immortal bid farewell to Tang Sanzang and departed with the Golden Cicada King.

After seeing off the Fire Spirit Immortal, Tang Sanzang glanced back at the unconscious Pigsy on the ground, sighed, and said, "Wubai, Wujing, carry this blockhead inside. I'll give him a good scolding when he wakes up."

"Yes." The White Dragon and Sandy acknowledged the order and then carried Pigsy into the house.

After bidding farewell to Tang Sanzang, the Fire Spirit Immortal led the Golden Cicada King eastward, flying across the vast ocean to Zhongshan Island.

Then they traveled all the way to 'Wanxianzhang', flying over towering peaks and ridges, and finally arrived at the core area of ​​Wanxianzhang.

Where the mountains and rivers are magnificent and the peaks stand tall, the rosy clouds are colorful and auspicious clouds fill the sky, and palaces and pavilions appear and disappear.

Fire Spirit Immortal led the Golden Cicada King to the mountain peak where the palaces and pavilions were located, descended from the clouds, and landed right in front of the mountain gate.

"Lingxia Dao Mansion?" King Jinchan looked at the four large characters on the mountain gate plaque and couldn't help but read them aloud.

Just as King Golden Cicada opened his mouth, a voice came from behind him: "They've arrived a day earlier than I expected."

Fire Spirit Immortal turned around and saw Zhuang Yan walking over in a green robe. Fire Spirit Immortal quickly stepped forward, bowed, and said, "True Lord."

Zhuang Yan reached out and helped Huo Ling Zhenxian up, saying, "Between you and me, there is no need for such a grand ceremony."

Fire Spirit Immortal sincerely said, "It has been so long since we last met. I have missed you so much, True Lord, that I cannot hide my excitement."

Zhuang Yan smiled and said, "Soon. In a few days, I will transfer you back to Buzhou Mountain from Dongyue."

Upon hearing this, True Immortal Huo Ling was overjoyed and said, "Huo Ling only hopes that this day will come soon."

Zhuang Yan nodded, then his gaze fell on King Jin Chan. King Jin Chan was utterly shocked upon seeing Zhuang Yan.

"How could it be you?" King Jin Chan exclaimed in surprise. Wasn't this the person who presented the Eight Treasures Glazed Bottle to Zhao Changchun that night?

Zhuang Yan laughed heartily and looked at the Golden Cicada King, saying, "Now do you understand?"

"Why...why did you do this?" King Golden Cicada asked somewhat timidly.

Zhuang Yan said, "Tang Sanzang was a pilgrim from the Tang Dynasty in the East who went to the Western Paradise to obtain Buddhist scriptures. He was destined to face eighty-one tribulations on his journey."

King Jinchan suddenly realized that everything was a scheme set up by the person in front of him, and that he was just a pawn used by this deity to bring calamities to Tang Sanzang.

Fire Spirit Immortal looked at Golden Cicada King and said, "Golden Cicada, this is the Spirit Platform Manifestation Jade Extreme True Lord I told you about."

Upon hearing this, King Jinchan felt a complex mix of emotions, including resentment and dissatisfaction at being used as a pawn, as well as admiration and fear for Zhuang Yan.

Now that things have come to this, what else is there to say? King Jin Chan sighed inwardly, stepped forward and kowtowed to Zhuang Yan, saying, "This little demon Jin Chan greets True Lord Lingtai."

Zhuang Yan waved his hand lightly, and a beam of immortal light immediately lifted the golden cicada from the ground. Zhuang Yan then said, "Although I used you to set up a tribulation for Tang Sanzang, I will not let you work for nothing. I will give you a chance to become an immortal."

After saying that, Zhuang Yan raised his hand and pointed to the mountain gate of Lingxia Dao Mansion, saying, "This is the Dao Mansion opened by the Goddess of Mount Tai, the Heavenly Immortal Jade Maiden Bixia Yuanjun. It is currently recruiting disciples. If you take my talisman and go in, you can become a disciple of Bixia Yuanjun and become a true disciple."

Upon hearing this, King Jin Chan was greatly shocked. Bixia Yuanjun! This was a well-known deity. The beings of the Yama World might not have heard of the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, but they could not possibly not know about the Goddess of Mount Tai, Bixia Yuanjun.

This was indeed an incredible opportunity. King Jin Chan saw the Zhuang Yan talisman flying towards him, immediately reached out and caught it, then knelt down again and bowed, saying, "This humble demon thanks the True Lord Lingtai!"

Zhuang Yan waved his hand and said, "No need for formalities, go in quickly and become my disciple."

"Yes." King Jinchan stood up, bowed to Zhuang Yan and True Immortal Huoling, and said, "This little demon takes his leave." Then he turned around and entered Lingxia Dao Mansion with excited and light steps.

After King Jinchan left, Zhuang Yan said to True Immortal Huoling, "You should also return to Dongyue first. Once my decree arrives, you can return to Buzhou Mountain."

Fire Spirit Immortal smiled broadly, her fiery red immortal robes fluttering in the wind. She bowed to Zhuang Yan and said in a clear voice, "Yes, True Lord, Fire Spirit takes her leave."

Having said that, she turned and rode auspicious clouds, transforming into a fiery red rainbow that soared into the sky, heading straight east. (End of Chapter)
