What kind of Journey to the West is this?

The two River Gods were one rank lower than the City God, being eighth-rank Earth Gods. Monks were governed by the Buddhist community and the government.

"How are you going to deal with the monk? Those gods are, after all, just demons who have received heavenly talismans, and they don't have any backing. But what about monks? Do they also use weapons? They have complex connections behind them, even reaching the sky."

The wine cup boy raised his finger, pointed to the west, and then pointed to the south.

This is referring to the old ghosts of Xiao Liang who colluded with monks.

So that's where they were hiding. Yanxia had always thought of Maliu Mountain as a blessed place for spiritual practice, and had no doubts about it, but she had never expected it to become a demonic den.

Yanxia didn't know whether it was true or not, but she had to investigate this matter.

She was in charge of the management of Cangzhou, and the old ghosts of Xiaoliang and the remnants of the Six Dynasties were thorns in her eyes and thorns in her flesh.

She said, "I can get through to the government myself. But it's not enough to just capture the monks who attended the banquet at Maliu Mountain. We must eradicate them completely."

It was not enough for Yanxia to catch the turtle in the jar, she wanted to go one step further and destroy the other side's nest.

Jiuzhezi felt something was wrong, "I'm afraid it will alert the enemy."

Yan Xia said, "Don't be afraid. If they refuse to let us in, we can ask the monk who attended the banquet to be our guarantor. If they still refuse, we can say we lost two monsters in Maliu Mountain and are searching for them. We always have an excuse."

"What a scoundrel."

Jiuzhanzi smacked his lips and agreed immediately. "That's easy to say, but in the end, we can't avoid a strong attack. A strong attack is bound to cause trouble. I'm used to thunder magic and fire magic. If those monks are stubborn, I'll burn them all."

Yan Xia immediately stopped him, saying, "No. The fire method is too obvious, and it would be easy to trace it back to us. But I have someone under my command who specializes in countering Buddhism. She specializes in illusion, so we can ask her to give it a try. Once we find the evidence, you can burn it all."

"It is still the mercy of An who can save us from sins!" The wine cup boy felt ashamed that he was not as good as An.

"Let's not talk about eradicating the problem for now. After this big fuss, we'll split the profits 70% and 30%."

"Who's three, who's seven?"

"The old Taoist priest should have an idea in his mind."

The wine cup holder clasped his fists and said, "I am not in good health and have bad teeth. I cannot eat the pungent smell of mutton."

The two of them discussed it together and drafted the charter.

There is no written record, it's all in my mind.

"Then I've taken advantage of you. One day, I'll report my achievements to the Heavenly Master, and when I return to govern Cangzhou, I'll need your guidance." Yan Xia said, "Always be calm and peaceful. It's best to be harmonious, and avoid violence..."

The two looked at each other and said in unison: "Peace is the most precious!"

The young Taoist priest Zong Yuan was holding a wooden fish, looking confused.

...............

After staying for a while, Yanxia saw that the snow had stopped falling, so she left.

When we returned to Qing'anju, there was a thick layer of snow and the servants were helping to shovel the snow.

In the study, Xue Shier got a cloth tiger from somewhere and placed it on the table. He sat on the other side and played Gobang with the cloth tiger.

On the old locust tree, Ao Erya turned into a crow, cawing on the branch.

All these scenes are visible.

Yanxia walked silently and left no footprints on the snow. She passed by the maid who was washing clothes, but the little maid didn't notice.

After she left, the maid asked in surprise, "Did someone just walk over here?"

"Rare! You've been away for a few days, and your mind has cleared up... What a heavy snowfall! Auspicious snow means a good harvest, a good harvest!"

The crow tilted its head, spread its wings, flew to the ground, and turned into a gray-haired loli.

Yanxia's focus was rather strange. "Your hair can change color?"

"It's just a method of changing according to your heart."

Ao Erya rolled her eyes and said, "My true self is formless and intangible. If I interfere slightly, everyone will see me differently. Doesn't the Buddhist scripture say: All appearances are false. Seeing all appearances as non-appearances is seeing the Tathagata."

As expected of Mara's young daughter, even when she was in such a miserable state, she still did not forget to elevate herself to the same level as the Buddha.

Yan Xia clapped her hands and said, "As expected, the one who truly understands you is your enemy."

The two of them chatted for a long time and then moved to the study.

In the study, Yanxia respectfully served tea to Ao Erya.

The mixed-haired girl asked suspiciously, "Is the weasel paying New Year's greetings to the chicken?"

Yan Xia said speechlessly: "Can't you speak more nicely?"

"Okay, then why are you inviting me to tea?" Ao Erya asked directly without any hesitation.

"Please wear a cassock, steal Buddhist treasures, destroy the scriptures and pervert the teachings."

As soon as Yan Xia finished speaking, Ao Erya looked up.

The devil was surprised and said, "What you did is illegal!"

An Yanxia: “….”

Seeing Yan Xia speechless, Ao Erya laughed and said jokingly, "I'm not teasing you anymore. So, you also have a entanglement with the Buddhist monk?"

"Not yet, but soon."

Yanxia told her about the monk from Maliu Mountain.

"Maliu Mountain... are they the monks from Qinglong Temple?" Ao Erya, who had done some field research, explained, "They're not to be trifled with. They're even more formidable than the great monks from Kaiyuan Temple."

"These monks belong to the Pure Land Sect. They received a grant of favor during the Jin Dynasty, and with the accumulated offerings of hundreds of years, they were able to cast a golden Buddha statue. That statue is comparable to your Ox-Headed Dharma Image. The abbot, Qinglong Jingming, is adept at using his golden body in combat, having subdued the various demons of Maliu Mountain."

Ao Erya yawned, "If I can break his golden body, then I can use the magic of the sixth heaven to turn his Buddhist temple into a place of bones."

"But if I can't break it... I can't do anything about it. Unless you're willing to untie me, I'll go to Hehua Zizai Tian and borrow some soldiers for you. That'll be more than enough to flatten that Qinglong Temple."

"But I will settle the score later." The mixed-haired loli giggled.

Yan Xia raised her hands in surrender, "I better find a way to break his golden body!"

The Golden Body is a specialty of the Pure Land Sect. Actually, the Zen Sect also does it, but it has to be made of real gold, or at least gilded. And since the Zen Sect hasn't evolved into the Shaolin Temple group yet, they generally don't have much money...

The golden body Dharma image relies on the will of believers to transform the temple into the Dharma Realm and the jeweled hall into the Dharma Hall. There are three levels of it. The best level has the power of a tenth-level bodhisattva; the middle level has the supernatural powers of an arhat; the lowest level also has the realm of heaven.

Ao Erya spread her hands and said, "Then go and get busy. The golden statue in the Azure Dragon Temple is at least of a lower to upper grade."

Yanxia thought about it over and over again, but couldn't come up with a good idea.

With the soldiers at her disposal and the six demons from the Po Luo Monastery, she could certainly fight, but it would be a protracted battle.

If Qinglong Temple keeps dragging its feet, they might even call for reinforcements.

So it is better to fight quickly and decisively.

She racked her brains and thought hard, but outside the window the sun rose in the east and set in the west, and the sky gradually darkened.

The days are short in winter, it gets dark quickly, and smoke rises from every household.

...............

In the kitchen, the cook came out to get some fresh air when he saw that the fire was ready.

A maid in a blue robe was carrying a wooden bucket. She was very greedy at the aroma and said in a college student voice, "What are we having for dinner tonight?"

"Freshly steamed hot Hu pancakes, some cured pork ribs and radish stewed in the sun some time ago... and some cherry cheese for the young lady."

The An family’s recipe is quite simple.

"There's meat!" The little maid looked happy and sat down to spread the gossip that she had heard from somewhere.

"Hey, chef, have you heard that Mr. He's house is haunted? It's an old lady who walks around the windows at night, spitting water out of her mouth as she walks. It's like she has a huge water jar in her stomach that just won't stop gushing."

The cook was confused and asked, "How do you know so much about this haunted place?"

"They're performing a ritual! It's all over the streets. It must be someone in Mr. He's family who's unfilial..."

The cook was not interested in gossip and dismissed it casually: "The young lady is the reincarnation of a star in the sky. Even ghosts can't harm her..."

The little maid blinked and asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

The cook took a deep breath, picked up the pot and spoon, straightened his neck, and took another breath.

He pointed, "Does the ghost you're talking about look like that?"

The little maid looked back.

"Oh! It seems to be like that! Are our family relatives with Mr. He?" The little maid was quite happy.

After a while, the little maid reacted, her face turned pale and she screamed.

The cook quickly covered her mouth and pulled the maid back slowly to that side.

When he returned to the kitchen, he went straight to the backyard to find Bai Zhu and told him the situation.

Bai Zhu went to the study immediately.

Soon, Yanxia was also alarmed.

In the study, a magpie was sitting on Xue Shier's shoulder.

After listening to Bai Zhu's words, she snorted, "Where did this little devil come from? How dare you come to our house and cause trouble!"

This cat considers Qinganju as his own home...

Yan Xia said, "Since it's haunted, I'll go check it out. My company is in charge of rescuing the suffering and exonerating the guilty in Cangzhou. Maybe they're just here to seek justice from me."

Xue Shier thought it made sense, and the magpie on her shoulder also rolled his eyes.

Here, several people went to the scene where the accident happened.

That was the west wing in the front yard, next to a rockery.

Outside the wing room, an old lady in a wide robe with big sleeves was walking around the house in a daze.

He spit out water from his mouth while walking.

Sometimes I spray once after walking three or four steps, and sometimes I spray once after walking more than ten steps.

Bai Zhu bravely approached, but after taking about three steps, the old lady suddenly turned her head.

puff puff~

A stream of water spurted out of his mouth, soaking Baizhu's clothes.

Bai Zhu retreated expressionlessly.

The old lady continued to spray water.

This scene, which should have been very strange, seemed a bit funny because An Yanxia, Xue Shier and others watched with wide eyes.

Snow Lion was bewildered.

What the hell is this? It doesn't hurt anyone, it doesn't scare people, it just sprays water?

She thought for a moment and wondered, "Could it be that the shower has become a spirit?"

Yanxia was also confused.

No, even if you become a ghost, you should look like a ghost!

Yan Xia felt something was wrong and immediately opened her Dharma Eyes.

But he was stunned.

Looking around with his Dharma eyes, he saw only darkness, a bit like... a magic spell that blocks vision?

She immediately remembered the black fog magic she encountered when she was chasing the fox wizard in the underground palace.

When you close your Dharma eyes, the world becomes clearer.

What the Dharma Eye sees is the real world without any filter. If the Dharma Eye sees a world of black fog, while the naked eye sees a world of clarity, then it can only mean...

She became wary.

The magpie on the shoulder spread its wings, landed on the ground, and turned into a gray-haired loli.

Ao Erya opened her arms and yawned, "You saw that too, didn't you?"

Yan Xia nodded slightly, "At least it covers the entire Qing'an Residence. What a powerful illusion."
