Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons

The damp wind rolled up the dark rain clouds, struggling to blow across the densely covered rivers and lakes. On the lake, which was quietly rippling with clear waves, there were clusters of lotus leaves that looked like jade plates. The graceful and delicate blue lotus flowers were like crystal clear pearl chess pieces, scattered on the jade chess field, attracting the attention of passers-by.

A group of women gathered the carriage full of boxes in the middle, took out the seats and laid them out, and laid out food and water for eating and resting. One of the girls was particularly lively, she ate everything in no time and then went to the shore to admire the flowers.

"Although the climate is humid and hot, and my face has turned darker after just a few days, the flowers here are so beautiful. We don't have lotus flowers of this color in our Xiliang Women's Kingdom." She said intoxicatedly, stretched out her hand, picked a flower, put it to her nose and sniffed it, her pretty face full of intoxication.

A nobleman with a team of guards passed by and accidentally saw this beautiful scene. He narrowed his eyes and pointed at the girl with his hand wearing three gold rings. The guards understood and walked towards the girl with spears on their shoulders: "Beautiful girl with eyes as bright as blue lotus, our Prime Minister Alona Shun has taken a fancy to you. Come with us."

The girl's face changed and she hurriedly ran towards her people. At this time, her companions also noticed the situation here. A girl of similar age came over quickly and said, "Fazhu, let's go after we have rested. The commander asked everyone to set off quickly and spend the night in Xiangcheng before dark."

The guards used their spears to stop her, and also stopped her companions. They looked at their faces and figures unscrupulously: "You two girls are going to Elephant City? What a coincidence, our Lord Alonashun happens to be the prime minister of Elephant City. When he sneezes, his saliva exudes the fragrance of golden lotus. The girls who are lucky enough to get infected by him can improve their caste in the blink of an eye. This is a blessing that cannot be obtained in ten lifetimes!"

"Alonashon is kind-hearted. We should learn from him and take in foreign girls. The companions of the beautiful-butt girl, please come with us. When we get to Elephant City, the brothers will treat you to fried candy balls."

Even though the citizens of the Kingdom of Women were open-minded, they could not help but feel disgusted by the blatant teasing of these men. Fazhu frowned and tried to push away the spears that blocked his way, but the other party came closer and closer. One of them threatened impatiently: "Beautiful girl, you look like a foreigner from your appearance. What good future can a barbarian like you have? The master has taken a fancy to you, and it is useless for you to run away. If you follow us obediently now and please the master, the master is willing to reward your family with some treasures and marry you as his concubine in the Asura style. If you don't give us face, we will use the Rakshasa style!"

What is Asura style and Rakshasa style? The two girls were confused. But just looking at their hateful faces and the fat and big-eared nobleman named Alo Nashun sitting on the elephant in the distance, Fazhu was very unhappy. She looked at the fierce light flashing in the men's eyes as they gradually approached, and shouted in fear: "Commander, help me, they want to take me away to be the concubine of that fat pig!"

The guards were upset and were about to drag her away. Suddenly, a loud shout came from the caravan. It was a calm and majestic female voice: "Stop!"

The middle-aged woman with a long sword on her back stepped out of the crowd and came over quickly. She drew her sword and chopped the spears of several guards in two in a few seconds. It was obvious that she had great skills. The noble also saw the change here and his face sank. More than a dozen guards rushed over.

The girls were now terrified and hid behind the leader, crying, "What should we do, leader?" The leader looked around and confirmed that there was no way to resolve today's situation. He took out a red-painted, gold-lettered tablet from his bosom, put it on his head, moved his lips slightly, and prayed quickly, "I, your disciple, look up to the sky and ask the Demon-Subduing Goddess to send down a true immortal to help you out of this difficult situation!"

After reciting it, she felt a cool air pouring into her head from the shrine. She did not feel any magical feeling of sudden divine power in her limbs, but her mind was unprecedentedly clear. The homework she had done before deciding to come to India for business turned into a string of words, flying in her mind.

The Indians have a strong belief in gods and their pantheon is complex. Even recognized scholars and wise men find it difficult to say exactly how many gods there are in India.

There are many small countries in Xiniu Hezhou, prime ministers are everywhere, and nobles are as numerous as dogs.

The people of Hezhou, Xiniu, speak in an exaggerated manner and take it for granted with all their true feelings.

There are immortals in the human world of Hezhou, Xiniu, that is, great practitioners. Their supernatural powers are the result of hard practice. They love to curse randomly, and even the gods in the heavens have to retreat away from them.

The commander suddenly had an idea. He stood upright with a dignified look, and deliberately used up all his internal strength, and shouted loudly: "We are the pearl of the Southern Continent, the bright star of the East, the chief of the Wuliang Plateau, the savior of the Kingdom of Hol, the Kingdom of Jiadi, the Kingdom of Jiang, and the Kingdom of Xiliang Women, and the loyal messenger of the Demon-Subduing Goddess. Anyone with eyes and wisdom should not look down on my identity! I have the power bestowed by God! Lustful lunatic, no matter who you are, if you dare to hurt a hair of me and my men, your heads will be like a ripe mango that has been smashed and exploded into disgusting mud!"

The words were so powerful that everyone present could hear them clearly.

The noble on the elephant's back gasped, and the guards turned pale and involuntarily stepped back. At this moment, the other women in the caravan also realized something was wrong and rushed over with their weapons. The guards did not dare to stop them and let them stand opposite and confront them. There were many women who were as beautiful as the girl Fazhu, but this time they did not dare to have any lustful thoughts, but they did not dare to retreat either, so they could only look at their master timidly.

Their master, Arora Shun, was also timid at the moment. He stepped down from the back of the driver who was leading the elephant, walked over, and said with a friendly expression, "The divine messenger has misunderstood. Although I truly admire this girl holding the green lotus, since she has no intention, I will not force her."

He paused, looked at the leading commander, and then slowly moved his gaze to the red magic weapon above her head, which was decorated with mysterious and regular patterns. His expression became more respectful, and after thinking for a while, he reluctantly took off the necklace and held it in both hands: "This is a gemstone necklace passed down from my family. It is engraved with my family emblem. I give it to the envoy of God as an apology. When the envoy of God comes to Xiangcheng in the future, if he needs me, send someone to find me with this necklace."

The commander then softened his gaze: "Put down the necklace, you can go."

Alonashun was overjoyed. Regardless of the pain in his heart, he quickly placed the necklace at her feet and left quickly with his guards as if escaping from death.

Although he didn't know which deity the Demon-Subduing Goddess was, from the way she cursed, she must be a cruel goddess like Kali. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and handled the situation properly, and finally saved his head.

The women of the Kingdom of Daughters who were left behind by them were also in lingering fear. Fazhu and her female companions cried in the arms of the older woman. After crying enough, they stepped on the necklace a few more times to vent their anger. After the commander let them vent their anger, he washed the necklace that had been stepped on into a mud snake and put it in his arms: "You must keep this thing. It may be useful after entering the Elephant City."

A female businessman asked curiously, "Commander, did you really invite the goddess down just now?"

The commander shook his head: "What is the status of the goddess? How could she be invited by us so easily? She has bestowed me with divine power."

As for the specific power, many people had different opinions, so she couldn't say it. According to her speculation, this power would not give her extraordinary strength to defeat villains, but it would give her a smart mind to use wisdom to resolve difficulties.

This is also about subduing demons and conquering the demons in people’s hearts.

After reorganizing the team, the group was on the road again. The pond returned to silence until a flawless white hand reached out, and a clear blue lotus lightly flew up from the lotus leaves, spun gracefully, and landed in the hand.

Wen Jiao brought the lotus to her nose, sniffed it, and thought: "Is it smooth, A Luo?"
