I am a fairy in Journey to the West

After an unknown amount of time, Zhu Qingqiu groggily woke up and breathed a long sigh of relief upon seeing Daoist Qianhe and Daoist Simu.

"I knew I was already dead, otherwise how would I have met you two living devils?" Zhu Qingqiu said quietly.

Master Four Eyes' face immediately darkened. "You ungrateful brat! We saved you, and you call us living devils?"

Zhu Qingqiu was stunned for a moment, then said, "Could it be that I'm really still alive?"

Master Qianhe said, "Of course you're still alive. Look at the sky, the earth, and the pot you overturned."

Zhu Qingqiu quickly looked around and saw that it was indeed the same old scenery. Then she felt terrible and started wailing again, clutching her leg.

"Who is wailing in the desolate wilderness?" A voice came from ahead. Qianhe and Simu quickly looked up and saw a familiar Taoist figure walking over.

"Hey, this person looks familiar, but I can't quite remember who it is," Master Simu said to Master Qianhe in confusion.

The memories in Master Qianhe's mind surged rapidly. When the figure walked up to him, his face overlapped with the blurry image in his memory. Master Qianhe suddenly stood up and called out, "Fellow Daoist Lingtai."

"Ah? Ah!!!" Master Simu was also startled awake by Master Qianhe's words. "Fellow Daoist Lingtai, I remember now."

The two quickly stepped forward, cupped their hands in greeting, and then said with a smile, "Brother Lingtai, it's been nineteen years. How have you been?"

Zhuang Yan smiled and returned the greeting, saying, "I'm doing very well, but you two fellow Daoists look much older."

Upon hearing this, Daoist Simu and Daoist Qianhe immediately exchanged glances. They noticed that the other person's face had aged considerably, something they hadn't noticed before, but now, after Zhuang Yan's reminder, they were suddenly struck by the realization.

"Nineteen years have passed," Master Qianhe sighed. "My junior brother Qianhe and I are both over forty years old now. How many forty-year periods does one have in a lifetime?"

Master Four Eyes said, “Three of us cultivators can live to be 120 years old without illness or disaster, which is not a big problem.”

Zhuang Yan looked at the two people in front of him and saw a clear light that did not dissipate between their brows. The light was brilliant and radiant, which was a sign of their profound merit.

"It seems that you two fellow Daoists have accumulated a lot of merit over the past nineteen years," Zhuang Yan said.

The two men didn't laugh much when they heard this. After a moment, Daoist Qianhe said, "We have indeed done a lot of good deeds in the human world over the past nineteen years. It's just that Xiniu Hezhou has become more and more chaotic and the people have suffered more and more in the past nineteen years, so it's easier to do good deeds."

Zhuang Yan nodded, then asked, "By the way, I just heard someone calling here, was that you?"

“It’s him.” Master Simu quickly stepped aside and pointed to Zhu Qingqiu, who was sitting on a rock.

Upon seeing this, Zhuang Yan exclaimed in surprise, "Eh? Isn't this Fellow Daoist Zhu Qingqiu?"

"Eh? Fellow Daoist Lingtai, you know each other too?" Qianhe and Simu were full of surprise.

Zhuang Yan laughed and said, "Fate is a thread; as long as it's not broken, we'll meet again."

After saying that, Zhuang Yan came to Zhu Qingqiu. Zhu Qingqiu stopped howling and was barely breathing. Her eyes looked at Zhuang Yan with a hint of light.

"Fellow Daoist Lingtai? It's been nineteen years, and you haven't changed a bit," Zhu Qingqiu said weakly.

Zhuang Yan carefully examined Zhu Qingqiu's injuries, then sighed, "You're getting your just desserts."

Zhu Qingqiu said, "I have done many bad things over the years. Fellow Daoist Lingtai, do you think there is any hope for me?"

Zhuang Yan asked, "Will you still do anything wrong in the future?"

Zhu Qingqiu said, "We might have to do it again; we're short of money."

Zhuang Yan shook his head and said, "Then there's no hope. Pack your things and go report to the underworld later."

"Huh?" Zhu Qingqiu was startled by these words and quickly corrected herself, "I won't do it anymore, I won't do it anymore, I'll never do it again."

Zhuang Yan then smiled and said, "Then there's still hope."

After saying that, Zhuang Yan reached out and gently patted Zhu Qingqiu's forehead, saying, "Good, good, good."

After the three "good"s were finished, Zhu Qingqiu's breathing stabilized instantly. A moment later, her thigh injury was completely healed, and the steel sword and the rotten flesh inside were expelled.

Then he vomited a large mouthful of black blood, which was the blood clots from the damage to his internal organs. Now that his organs had healed, the blood clots were naturally expelled.

In the blink of an eye, Zhu Qingqiu's injuries were completely healed, and even her depleted magical power was replenished.

Seeing this, Daoist Qianhe exclaimed in amazement, "Fellow Daoist Lingtai, this is a divine power that can bring the dead back to life!"

"Indeed impressive," said Master Four Eyes. "No wonder people call you the Great Immortal of the Spirit Platform."

After Zhu Qingqiu recovered, she immediately stood up and jumped around energetically. Then she quickly bowed to Zhuang Yan and said, "Thank you, Fellow Daoist Lingtai, for saving my life."

"No need to thank me," Zhuang Yan said with a smile. "Since we've met by chance, I have a task for you. The pay is quite good. If you're willing to do it, I'll give it to you."

"Oh?" The three exchanged glances, then asked Zhuang Yan, "What kind of assignment?"

Zhuang Yan said, "I once converted a disciple in the secular world. Now that her worldly ties are severed, she should renounce the mortal world and cultivate in seclusion. You can go and help her to escape the world and escort her all the way to Erlang Village."

At this point, Zhuang Yan looked at the three of them and said, "If you can complete this task, I will grant each of you a chance to become an immortal."

The three were shocked upon hearing this, and Zhu Qingqiu exclaimed in surprise, "The opportunity to become an immortal?"

Zhuang Yan laughed and said, "As a great immortal, it is only a matter of course for me to bestow upon you the opportunity to become immortals."

Zhu Qingqiu said, "Fellow Daoist Lingtai, it's not that we don't believe you, but the opportunity to become an immortal is extremely rare. Of course, it's not that we don't believe you, but this kind of thing is probably not something that can be given away casually, is it?"

Upon hearing Zhu Qingqiu's words, Master Simu immediately became displeased, "If you don't believe it, that's your problem. Don't drag us into it. We have complete faith in Fellow Daoist Lingtai."

After saying that, Daoist Simu asked Zhuang Yan, "Fellow Daoist Lingtai, what is your disciple's name, and where does he live? We two are not concerned with any immortal connection, but only with our friendship with Fellow Daoist Lingtai. We will do this without hesitation."

Zhu Qingqiu immediately jumped up and said, "You may be ugly, but your words are pleasant to hear. Fellow Daoist Lingtai helped me once before, and now you've saved my life again. Although I'm not exactly a gentleman, I do know how to repay kindness. Fellow Daoist Lingtai, rest assured, I will risk my life to send your disciple to Erlang Village."

After speaking, Zhu Qingqiu asked again, "Fellow Daoist Lingtai, what is your disciple's name? Where does he live?"

Zhuang Yan laughed and said, "She's famous, so you can find her easily. She's the queen of the Western Liang Women's Kingdom."

"Oh?" Upon hearing this, the three of them immediately became serious. "So she's a queen." Zhu Qingqiu pondered, "Could she abandon her imperial family and worldly wealth to cultivate in the sacred mountains?"

Zhuang Yan smiled and took out a spirit jade from his sleeve, saying, "After you see her, give her this jade and wait for her for three days. If she cannot make a decision in three days, you don't need to worry about her anymore. Just return to Erlang Village and wait for me. I will also give you a reward."

The three nodded, and then Master Four Eyes asked again, "Since that's the case, why don't you go and save her yourself?"

Zhuang Yan asked in surprise, "If I were to personally guide her, where would the three of you get your immortal destiny?"

Four Eyes, Thousand Cranes, and Zhu Qingqiu: "."

"Alright, you all should hurry on your way. I have a grand performance to put on, about to begin. Farewell." Zhuang Yan finished speaking, cupped his hands in farewell to the three, then turned and took a step, instantly transforming into a wisp of wind and disappearing without a trace. Fengxian County was originally a prefecture of a large country in Northern India, but that country has now been conquered by the Vedic Kingdom.

This place is now a melting pot of all sorts of people, with Buddhist sects, Brahmanical sects, and even demonic forces all converging here.

The Liu family was a prominent family in Fengxian County. Today, the Liu family was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, and the house was full of guests. The old master Liu was holding a grand wedding for his son, Liu Yanchang.

Mr. Liu and his wife, holding wine cups and beaming, addressed the assembled guests, saying, "Thank you all for taking time out of your busy schedules to attend the wedding of my son, Liu Yanchang, and Lady Ji. Please eat and drink to your heart's content, and don't be shy."

Everyone stood up to congratulate Mr. and Mrs. Liu, and the couple kept toasting and entertaining them.

At this moment, a monk suddenly appeared at the banquet, put his hands together in prayer and said to Old Master Liu, "Amitabha."

The atmosphere in the arena suddenly became quiet, because Fengxian County was now ruled by the Vedic Kingdom, which revered Brahma and was hostile to Buddhism.

So how could the people present not be shocked and puzzled by the sudden appearance of a monk?

Even the newly appointed Marquis of Fengxian County stood up and looked coldly at Old Master Liu and the monk.

Old Master Liu felt a prickling sensation on his back, but with everyone watching, he could only bite the bullet and step forward, forcing a smile as he asked, "May I ask where you come from, Master?"

The monk greeted him and said, "This humble monk comes from Central India. I heard that the old master's son is getting married today, so I came to offer my congratulations."

Upon hearing this, Master Liu quickly bowed and thanked him, saying, "Thank you for your kindness, Master. Please take your seat and have a meal."

"No need," the monk said with a smile, declining the offer from Master Liu. He then took out a golden lotus candlestick from his sleeve and handed it to Master Liu, saying, "Master Liu, please accept this golden lotus candlestick as a wedding gift from this humble monk to the newlyweds."

When Master Liu saw the golden candlestick, he immediately realized it was no ordinary item and reached out to take it.

The monk smiled and said, "Old sir, please be sure to give this golden flower candlestick to your son. This item has divine power and can ensure the safety and happiness of the newlyweds."

At this point, the monk smiled slightly and said, "This humble monk is not welcome here, so I will take my leave now. Amitabha."

After saying this, the monk turned and left. After taking three steps, his figure instantly transformed into a golden light and soared into the sky.

In an instant, the entire Liu residence erupted in excitement. The previously quiet crowd rose to their feet and exclaimed, "A deity! A deity!"

"It must be a miracle from the Bodhisattva."

“Master Liu was always fond of doing good deeds and accumulating good karma, so he must be a Bodhisattva who came down to earth to bestow blessings upon him.”

Hearing the crowd's discussion and witnessing the monk transform into golden light and depart, the Liu family, the old master and his wife, were also filled with solemnity. Regardless of what the magistrate behind them thought, the two of them knelt down on the spot and kowtowed three times in the direction the monk had left.

At the same time, four beams of immortal light appeared in the direction the monk had left, and these four beams of immortal light followed the monk all the way out of Fengxian County.

A moment later, the golden light that the monk had transformed into suddenly fell down, as if realizing that he could not escape the four beams of divine light, and then hid in a mountain range.

The four beams of light flew to the top of the mountain and stopped, then revealed themselves to be the four great immortals of the Brahma sect: Vak, Ramisa, Vyasa, and Magandha.

“That person’s aura is in the mountains,” said the sage Vark. “He has nowhere to escape.”

Luo Misa said, "The four of us will each block one side."

“Alright.” The four nodded, and then each of them surrounded the mountain from four directions, each unleashing their immortal power to block one of the paths.

Just as the four were surrounding the monk who had fled into the mountains, eight beams of Buddhist light shot straight up from the mountain ridge below, instantly surrounding the four from the outside.

The four were shocked and quickly looked closer. Then they were all stunned: "The Eight Great Wisdom Kings?!"

"Damn it, we've been ambushed."

Indeed, the eight beams of Buddha light that just appeared were the Eight Great Vidyarajas Bodhisattvas of Buddhism.

Without a word, the Eight Great Vidyarajas Bodhisattvas immediately revealed their Dharma forms upon their appearance.

First is the Peacock King Bodhisattva. She is dressed in a light white silk robe and has four arms. Her first right hand holds an open lotus flower, and her second right hand holds a fruit of good fortune. Her first left hand holds a fruit of good fortune, and her second left hand holds a five-colored peacock tail. She is dressed in a crown, necklace, earrings, and armlets. She sits in the lotus position on a white lotus or a blue-green flower, with a compassionate expression.

'coax'

Suddenly, a patch of azure flames spread across the sky, engulfing the four immortals in an instant.

The azure flames surged forth, instantly igniting the magical power within the four immortals.

"This is bad! My magic power is burning up and being depleted rapidly. If this continues, it will be exhausted in no time!" the Immortal Morgandeye exclaimed.

The sage Romisa said, "Don't panic, I have a way."

After saying this, the immortal Romisa took out a celadon porcelain bottle from her sleeve. She tossed the bottle high into the air, and after a moment, the bottle was suspended in the air, emitting beams of celadon light. Then, the bottle tilted slightly, and a long, cold aura poured out.

Wherever those icy energies passed, all the Azure Flame True Fire was instantly frozen into ice mist, and then shattered with a bang.

Just as the four were about to be rescued, the Peacock King Bodhisattva gently flicked the peacock tail in one of his hands.

In an instant, with a loud 'crack', the jade porcelain bottle fell from the sky and was shattered into pieces by a single axe blow from the Horse-Headed King.

Immediately afterwards, the 'Kundali Vidyaraja' threw out the 'Karma Vajra' in his hand. With a 'bang', the sage Ramissa's head was smashed, and his brains mixed with blood were scattered everywhere. His body fell from the sky in an instant.

Upon seeing the death of the sage Ramisa, Vak, Vyasa, and Magandha immediately joined forces to fight.

The seven Great Vidyarajas attacked, and the three immediately unleashed their magical weapons to fight back. However, the Peacock King Bodhisattva behind them simply flicked the five-colored peacock tail lightly, and the magical weapons in the three's hands once again slipped out of their grasp and fell uncontrollably.

In an instant, the Horse-Headed King was right in front of him. With a single swing of his axe, the head of the Vajra Yaksha flew up with a burst of blood and was then devoured by the Vajra Yaksha King.

The King of the Three Worlds formed a "Destroying Dharma Seal," and a burst of crimson flames shot out, instantly burning the sage Morgandeya to ashes.

At the same moment, Yamantaka raised his hand and pointed, and a huge 'Dharma Wheel of Power' rolled down from the sky. The sage Vyasa only managed to escape a thousand miles before being crushed into mincemeat by the Dharma Wheel of Power.

At this point, all four immortals of the Brahma sect had died, and the Eight Great Vidyarajas withdrew their forms and stood in the air. Then, a Bodhisattva below took flight on a lotus flower.

"Cundi Bodhisattva." The eight Great Vidyarajas Bodhisattvas all bowed to Cundi Bodhisattva.

Bodhisattva Cundi smiled and said, "Indeed, you annihilated four immortals of the Brahma sect in one fell swoop. Fortunately, the eight Bodhisattvas returned to the Buddhist sect in time, otherwise, things would have been very different today."

The Peacock King Bodhisattva laughed and said, "Bodhisattva, this plan is excellent; it kills two birds with one stone."

Bodhisattva Zhunti shook his head and said, "The chessboard has been cleaned up. Now it's up to the Brahma sect to make their move. We shouldn't stay here any longer. Those Asura gods aren't far from here. Let's go back to Mount Ling first."

"Yes," the Eight Great Vidyarajas Bodhisattvas replied, then rode with Cundi Bodhisattva on auspicious clouds back to Mount Sumeru. (End of Chapter)
