I am a fairy in Journey to the West

Seeing the Third Holy Mother unleash the Lotus Lantern, the immortals laughed and said, "Little girl, don't be impulsive. If you make a move now, it will be this mortal who suffers."

The Third Holy Mother sneered, "Are you threatening me?"

"No," said the Immortal Friends. "You know that Fengxian County is now under the jurisdiction of Vedic Kingdom. If the Buddhists suddenly sent you a candlestick, as a member of the Brahma sect, I naturally have to investigate."

The Holy Mother said calmly, "Put down the candlestick and leave immediately, and I can forgive and forget about it."

Upon hearing this, the immortal friends couldn't help but laugh. "Young lady, you must never be too arrogant in your conduct and actions. You must know that there are always people more capable than you, and there is always something beyond your understanding."

The Third Holy Mother said, "Since you understand this principle, you should leave immediately."

"Hahaha." Upon hearing the words of the Third Holy Mother, the Immortal Clan burst into laughter. Then he said, "Little girl, you are quite interesting, but you are a bit arrogant."

The Holy Mother of the Three Realms didn't waste any more words with him and directly activated the Lotus Lantern. As the Lotus Lantern flashed with divine light, all the immortals felt a sudden darkness before their eyes.

When he could see everything clearly again, he found that he had revealed his true form and was standing outside the courtyard.

He looked up and saw that the door to the new house was broken and a corpse was lying on the ground. It was the corpse of the servant he had possessed.

The power of the Lotus Lantern was immense. Even though the Third Holy Mother had reduced its power to a minimum, it was still beyond the capacity of an ordinary person to withstand.

At this moment, the Third Holy Mother had already stepped out of the house. When she saw the group of immortals, she exclaimed in surprise, "Fellow travelers?"

The immortal friends were slightly startled and quickly asked, "You recognize me?"

The Third Holy Mother sneered, "All the immortals of your Brahma sect have their names recorded in the Western Mountain Divine Palace, how could I not recognize them?"

Upon hearing this, the immortal friends were greatly surprised and hurriedly asked, "Are you from the Western Mountain?"

The Third Holy Mother said, "Don't you know the name of this Liu family's daughter-in-law?"

"Of course I know. This new daughter-in-law of the Liu family is named Ji Nuhua. Your surname is Ji? The Great Emperor of the Western Mountain is also surnamed Ji." The immortal friends were shocked. "Could you be the Third Holy Mother of Mount Hua?"

The Third Holy Mother said, "If you had left just now, everything would have been fine, but now that someone has died, I cannot let you go."

After saying this, the Lotus Lantern flashed with divine light again, and before the immortals could react, their physical bodies were instantly destroyed by the divine light of the Lotus Lantern.

The immortals' primordial spirits flew out of their bodies, utterly astonished, and hurriedly said to the Third Holy Mother, "Third Holy Mother, this is a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding!"

"A misunderstanding?" the Third Holy Mother said. "If I possessed one of your servants after your wedding and sneaked into your bridal chamber to steal things, would you consider that a misunderstanding?"

The immortal friends said, "Your Majesty is right. Why don't you release us? We'll go back and get married, and then Your Majesty can retaliate in kind."

The Holy Mother of the Three Kingdoms was furious again, "Are you insulting me?"

After saying that, he tried to activate the Lotus Lantern again, intending to destroy the primordial spirits of all the immortals.

Just then, another beam of celestial light flew over. The immortals looked up and cried out, "Immortal, save me!"

Murugan raised his hand and collected the primordial spirits of all the immortal friends. Then he said to the Third Holy Mother, "Third Holy Mother, I am Murugan of the Brahma Sect."

Upon hearing this name, the Third Holy Mother's eyes flashed with surprise, and she said, "You are one of the three principal deities of Brahma, the son of Shiva?"

“Exactly,” Murugan said with a proud expression.

The Holy Mother nodded and said, "Your Buddhist sect has been extremely rude in this matter and you need to give me an explanation."

Murugan said sincerely, "This was indeed my idea. My fellow Daoists were merely following orders. I would like to apologize to the Holy Mother of the Three Realms here."

After speaking, Murugan bowed to the Three Holy Mothers in mid-air.

Seeing this, the Third Holy Mother nodded slightly and said, "I don't care about your grudges with Buddhism, but don't let them affect my life, otherwise my Lotus Lantern won't be a vegetarian."

"Understood," Murugan said. "Your Majesty, rest assured, no one from the Vatican will bother you again."

Satisfied, the Third Holy Mother put away the Lotus Lantern and waved her hand, saying, "You may leave now."

Murugan bowed to the Three Holy Mothers again before turning and leaving.

After Mulugan returned to the Daoist temple with the primordial spirits of his fellow immortals, he released their primordial spirits. The Ant-Leech Immortal was greatly shocked, "How could this be?"

The immortal friends informed Mulugan and the leech immortal about the details of the trip. The leech immortal was extremely surprised after hearing it, saying, "I never expected that the daughter of the Great Emperor of the Western Mountain would marry a mortal."

At this moment, Murugan asked the assembled immortals, "Friends, how much of your ascetic cultivation power remains?"

The friends shook their heads and said, "It's not enough to receive blessings."

Mulugan frowned, and the Ant-Leech Immortal said, "You can cultivate in your primordial spirit form, and then ask the three Primordial Ancestors to bestow blessings and reshape your physical body?"

Murugan said, "I'm afraid there's no time left."

As soon as Mulugan finished speaking, a gust of cold wind blew into the temple, and then the local city god personally led ghost messengers to collect the soul.

"My fellow immortals, your lifespan has come to an end. Your spirit cannot linger in the mortal realm any longer. Quickly come with me to the underworld to report for duty," the City God said to his fellow immortals, holding a jade book in his hand.

Upon seeing this, Murugan and the Ant-Leech Immortal immediately stood up. Murugan then bowed to the City God and asked, "My Lord, do you all still have a chance to rebuild his physical body?"

The City God glanced at the jade book in his hand and then said, "To die in accordance with calamity, even if there is a way to reshape the physical body, it is just a waste of effort."

Upon hearing this, the Immortal Friends were quite nonchalant. He turned around and bowed to Mulugan and the Ant Leech Immortal, saying, "Take care, my two fellow Daoists. I'll be going now."

Mulugan and the ant-leech immortal hurriedly stepped forward to see them off. At this moment, the two ghost messengers behind the City God swung their iron chains and immediately arrested the immortals. Then, led by the City God, they disappeared from the mortal world and returned to the underworld.

After seeing off the immortal friends, the Ant-Leech Immortal sighed and said, "In just a few days, we have already lost five fellow Daoists."

Mulugan waved his hand and said, "Since the Third Holy Mother married Liu Yanchang, a mortal, isn't it reasonable for Zhunti to send a candlestick?"

“That makes perfect sense,” said the Ant-Leech Immortal. “The Buddhist sect and the Western Mountain Divine Palace must have a lot of connections.”

Murugan pondered for a moment, then suddenly remembered something. His friends had mentioned that when he examined the candlestick, he seemed to have discovered its purpose.

The Ant-Leech Immortal recalled for a moment and said, "To conceal the secrets of heaven?"

“That’s right,” Murugan said. “Those candlesticks can be arranged into a golden net to conceal the secrets of the entire Liu mansion.”

The Ant-Leech Immortal pondered, "In that case, there must be some things we don't know about."

Murugan asked, "Is there something about the Third Holy Mother that she can't let others know?"

The Ant-Leech Immortal said, "It's not clear yet, but if we observe for a long time, we might be able to see some clues."

Mulugan suddenly laughed and said, "We have plenty of time. This Third Holy Mother is the daughter of the Great Emperor of the Western Mountain. Since we can't afford to offend her, we might as well make her our friend."

The Ant-Leech Immortal nodded slightly.

A month later, auspicious clouds and mist suddenly appeared in the Liu residence and lingered for an hour before gradually dissipating.

Mulugan stood before the Taoist temple, watching the auspicious clouds and mist gradually dissipate above the Liu residence, a hint of doubt appearing in his eyes.

Just then, the Ant-Leech Immortal returned to the temple and said to Mulugan, "Immortal, the Third Holy Mother is pregnant."

"Oh?" Murugan looked at the ant-leech immortal dressed as a physician and said, "The Third Holy Mother is pregnant?"

“That’s right.” The Ant-Leech Immortal laughed, “I just came from the Liu residence, and the Third Holy Mother is indeed pregnant.”

Mulugan's eyes lit up and he said, "Just now I saw auspicious clouds and auspicious energy swirling above the Liu residence. It seems this child is extraordinary."

“I saw it too,” said the Ant-Leech Immortal. “Not only are there auspicious clouds in the sky, but even the room of the Third Holy Mother is filled with auspicious light.”

Murugan narrowed his eyes and said, "It seems that the child in the womb of the Third Holy Mother is extraordinary."

The Ant-Leech Immortal said, "I have a suspicion that this child might be the reincarnation of a Buddha in Buddhism."

“I have the same suspicion,” Murugan said. “We need to pay close attention lately to see if any Buddhists are secretly going to the Liu residence or loitering around it.”

The Ant-Leech Immortal nodded and said, "I understand." A smile appeared on Mulugan's face. "If he is truly the reincarnation of Buddha, we will have the advantage of being close to him. If the reincarnation of Buddha belongs to my Brahma sect, it will be a catastrophic disaster for Buddhism."

The Ant-Leech Immortal laughed upon hearing this.

Western Paradise, Mount Ling, Great Amitabha Temple, Great Buddha Hall.

Amitabha Buddha sits high in the hall, flanked by Bhaisajyaguru Buddha and Vairocana Buddha on his left and right sides, respectively.

At this moment, the Great Sun Buddha opened his eyes and smiled at Amitabha Buddha, saying, "The fish have already set their sights on the hook, but we still need to prepare a feeding area, otherwise the fish will not bite easily."

Amitabha Buddha nodded slightly, then asked the crowd in the hall, "Who is willing to make another trip to Fengxian County?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the three Earth Gods, the Dragon King of Sagara, and the General Sanzhi rose up and bowed to Amitabha Buddha, saying, "We disciples are willing to go."

Since the fall of Vajrapani, the Twenty Devas are no longer complete. Seeing the three of them taking the initiative to obey the order, Amitabha Buddha said, "You should know that there are now a large number of Brahma immortals and Buddhist and demonic followers in Fengxian County."

Upon hearing this, the three showed no fear, and simply said, "We disciples are willing to sacrifice ourselves for Buddhism."

Amitabha Buddha sighed and said, "Since that's the case, then you may go. Be careful."

The advice to "be extra careful" was completely unnecessary, because these three were going to "stir up trouble," a mission with a near-certain death.

The three showed no fear. After bidding farewell to Amitabha Buddha, they transformed into three ordinary people and traveled all the way to North India, where they infiltrated Fengxian County.

After the three men infiltrated Fengxian County, they each appeared in Liu Yanchang's dreams.

Liu Yanchang had a dream every night in which three monks said they would come to bless his future child.

At first, Liu Yanchang didn't pay much attention, but later he had the same dream every night, so he told his wife, the Holy Mother, about it.

After listening, the Third Holy Mother said seriously, "Since a monk appeared to you in a dream, it means that the three monks must be immortals. Tomorrow, go around my house and they will definitely come to you and introduce themselves. Then you can bring them to the mansion."

Liu Yanchang agreed, and so the next morning he went out early and walked around his own mansion.

Sure enough, three monks came up and introduced themselves. Liu Yanchang then invited them to his residence, where he treated them to fine tea and vegetarian food, and invited the Third Holy Mother to come out and meet him.

Upon seeing the Three Holy Mothers, the three monks immediately stepped forward and revealed their true forms. The Three Holy Mothers were overjoyed to see them and said, "So it is the three celestial bodhisattvas. Nuhua greets you." She then prepared to bow.

But the three men quickly stepped forward to stop the Third Holy Mother. General Sanzhi said, "Your Majesty is pregnant, please do not do this. Please sit down."

The Holy Mother then invited the three bodhisattvas to sit down. After they sat down, the Holy Mother asked the three bodhisattvas, "I heard that the three bodhisattvas have come to bless the child in my womb?"

“Indeed.” The three nodded, and then each used their Buddhist supernatural powers to bless the child in the womb of the Third Holy Mother with their own merits.

The merits of the three heavenly bodhisattvas were not insignificant. A golden light of merit, visible to the naked eye, gathered in one place and then flew into the belly of the Third Holy Mother.

The Third Holy Mother immediately felt at ease in her womb and felt completely at peace. At this moment, the Dragon King of Sagara laughed and said, "The three of us have bestowed all our merits upon this child, ensuring that he will have endless blessings and a heavenly destiny in the future."

The Holy Mother was deeply moved. She knew how great the blessings bestowed upon others by the gods through their own merits. She immediately rose and bowed three times to the three bodhisattvas, saying, "Thank you, three bodhisattvas."

The three then bid farewell to the Three Holy Mothers and transformed into mortals to leave Fengxian County.

Meanwhile, the Buddhist sect had already planted spies inside and outside the Liu residence, so they immediately knew what had happened there today.

Upon receiving the report, Murugan was overjoyed. "Indeed, three of the twenty heavenly bodhisattvas risked their lives to come and bestow blessings upon the unborn child with their own merits. It is no doubt that the infant is the reincarnation of the Buddha."

As they were talking, a beam of demonic light suddenly flew into the dojo. When the light dissipated, the figure of the Demon Lord Asura King Pozhi appeared before Murugan.

“What’s going on with you all? The Earth God, the Dragon King of Sagara, and General Sanzhi have entered the city of Fengxian County, and you haven’t reacted at all?” Pozhi asked, looking puzzled.

When Mulugan saw Pozhi, he quickly went to greet her and then smiled at her, saying, "King Asura, you are unaware of this."

Afterwards, Murugan told Pozhi about what he had recently discovered. Pozhi was slightly surprised after hearing it and said, "Is that really true? Are you sure?"

Murugan said confidently, "I'm at least 90% sure."

Poji nodded and said, "Alright, in that case, we will cooperate with your Buddhist sect from now on."

At this point, Po Zhi changed the subject, saying, "However, the three Earth Gods of Firmness will not be able to return to Mount Ling."

Murugan said, "We were just about to hunt down those three when you arrived, Asura King. Let's go together."

Upon hearing this, Bhaji waved his hand and said, "No need, the Yaksha King has already gone to intercept and kill the three."

On the other side, the three—the Earth God, the Dragon King of Sagara, and the General of Sanzhi—had only traveled about thirty miles from Fengxian County when they were stopped by the Yaksha King.

Without any preamble, they immediately started fighting upon meeting.

The Sagara Dragon King revealed his true form, transforming into a thousand-foot-tall dragon, riding lightning, and traversing the Saha world, launching continuous attacks on the Yaksha King with the speed of a dragon whose head is seen but not its tail.

The Yaksha King also displayed his divine power, his body was blood red, and blood mist floated from his eyes.

The instant the Sagara Dragon King launched his attack, the Yaksha King raised his right hand and pointed forward, and in an instant, crimson light illuminated the sky.

The Sagara Dragon King let out a mournful roar, and was then directly cut into three pieces by the Yaksha King's divine blood light.

The body of the Sagara Dragon King shattered into three pieces, falling from the sky amidst a rain of blood.

The Earth God formed a hand seal, mobilizing the earth's energy within a radius of ten thousand miles to protect himself, and with a single punch sent the Yaksha King flying thousands of feet away.

General Sanzhi, clad in golden armor and helmet, wielding a long sword, unleashed a slash the instant the Yaksha King was knocked away, aiming straight for the Yaksha King's chest.

If the Yaksha King were struck by this blade, he would be cut in half at the chest on the spot. However, a flash of blood light appeared on the Yaksha King's body, and when the General Sanzhi slashed down, he was engulfed in a sea of ​​blood light.

Then the blood-red light stained the blade, instantly defiling General Sanzhi's precious sword. After being defiled, the sword's divine light dissipated, and it instantly became rusty, losing all its sharpness.

A bloody light flashed behind General Sanzhi, and then his head flew up before falling down along with his body.

At that moment, a loud roar came, and Yaksha King turned around abruptly. He saw the Earth God press him down and instantly knock him to the ground. Then, the incredibly hard fist and the barrage of attacks rained down on him.

Amidst screams of agony, the Yaksha King's body was smashed into puffs of blood mist, but he was utterly helpless against the solid earth god, who was empowered by the earth's energy.

But just as the Yaksha King was bursting with clouds of blood mist, those clouds gradually rose and enveloped the solid Earth God.

Soon, the earth energy on the solid earth god's body was eroded by the blood mist. The blood mist was originally a filthy substance, and as soon as the earth energy was eroded, it immediately receded from the solid earth god's body.

The Earth God noticed this and hurriedly used Buddhist teachings to purify the blood energy. As soon as the Buddhist light appeared, the blood energy was instantly purified, and the earth energy immediately stopped dissipating.

Upon discovering this, the Yaksha King immediately activated his demonic energy, which instantly surged and began to erode everything around him.

After the earth's energy was eroded by the demonic energy, it began to dissipate, and the Buddhist light on the solid earth god's body was powerless against this demonic energy.

At this moment, the Yaksha King, who was covered in blood, laughed loudly: "This is the power of Buddha and demon. Although it is demonic energy, it comes from Buddhist teachings. Your Buddhist light cannot dispel it."

The earth energy on the solid earth god quickly dissipated. He wanted to use the golden light of merit to dispel the demonic energy, but he froze just as he was about to act, because the golden light of merit on his body had already been used to bless the baby in the womb of the Third Holy Mother.

As the earth's energy dissipated, more than a dozen beams of blood-red light shot out from the Yaksha King's body, instantly tearing the steadfast earth god to shreds.

As the three died, in the Great Amitabha Temple on Mount Ling, Amitabha Buddha, Medicine Buddha, Vairocana Buddha, and many Bodhisattvas and Arhats put their hands together in prayer and chanted Buddhist scriptures, sending the three's souls to Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva in the underworld.

Meanwhile, the Yaksha King was also seriously injured, and the Asura King Vajra came to his aid immediately.

Six days after the three Earth Gods fell, the Spirit Mountain sensed a celestial secret, and the aura of Shiva, one of the three founders of the Brahma sect, appeared in Fengxian County.

Amitabha Buddha, who sensed this divine secret, was overjoyed and immediately said to everyone, "The three Venerable Ones, the Earth God, the Dragon King Sagara, and the Great General Sanzhi, did not sacrifice in vain. The Brahma sect has entered the game."

The Great Sun Buddha also smiled and said, "The fish has finally taken the bait. What will happen next?"

The Bodhisattva Zhunti said, "Next, we just need to wait for the birth of Liu Yanchang and the Third Holy Mother's child, and then the Heavenly Court will know that the Third Holy Mother has secretly married a mortal and violated the Heavenly Laws."

The Great Sun Buddha clasped his hands together, closed his eyes slightly, and slowly chanted: "The heavenly rules are strict; to violate them is certain death. Well done, well done." (End of Chapter)
