Xitian Lingshan and the Tang Empire now have the foundation to compete with the Heavenly Court.
Tang Sanzang was not only a beloved disciple of Tathagata Buddha, but also a disciple of the Emperor Li Shimin.
His status is extremely noble even when looking at the entire Three Realms.
If he is willing to go to heaven and ask the Jade Emperor to show mercy and resurrect the monkeys and monkeys in Huaguo Mountain, the Jade Emperor may really agree because of his face.
only……
"Holy Monk, I just met you by chance, why do you want to help me like this?"
Sun Wukong was a little confused about his generous help.
"Just because you called me Master when we were at the foot of Five Elements Mountain."
Tang Sanzang sighed, "Although you did not perform the apprenticeship ceremony and even left me, in my heart, you will always be my disciple."
"And isn't it the right thing for a master to help his disciples solve their problems?"
These words from the heart moved Sun Wukong deeply.
Except for Patriarch Bodhi, who had preached and received his karma for him, he had not heard such caring words for a long time.
He has been fighting alone for thousands of years and has experienced too many human relationships.
When he defeated the Heavenly Court and became the Monkey King, the immortals from the three realms came to congratulate him, and the demon kings from all walks of life rushed to call him brothers and talk over wine.
When he was defeated and suppressed the Five Elements Mountains, no one came to help him. In an instant, everyone left.
Now he has nothing, but this mortal monk named Tang Sanzang still comes to help him again and again without asking for anything in return.
Just because... I once called him master.
Sun Wukong, who has been unruly and lonely all his life, at this moment, his psychological defense collapsed...
"Wukong, why are your eyes red?"
At this time, Tang Sanzang asked with some confusion.
"No...it's okay, the evil wind blew out my eyes."
"That's good. I thought that the Great Sage Qitian, who is upright and indomitable, would cry sometimes!"
Tang Sanzang smiled warmly, "In that case, you stay here for a moment, and I will take a step towards the heaven first!"
With that said, he turned and left.
"etc!"
But at this moment, Sun Wukong suddenly stopped him again.
"Why, is there anything else?"
"Holy Monk, I know what you really want."
Sun Wukong hesitated for a moment, but finally made up his mind, "If you can really bring my monkey grandson back to life, I, the old grandson, are willing to abide by the agreement we made at the foot of Five Elements Mountain, worship you as my teacher, and escort you to the West!"
After hearing this, Tang Sanzang was filled with joy.
Sure enough, if you want to accept a disciple, you have to have a philanthropic mind!
However, he didn't have much confidence in going to Heaven to plead with the Jade Emperor this time.
What if the Jade Emperor thinks of his previous disastrous defeat in the Tang Dynasty in the East and gets angry and cuts himself off...
But for the sake of his good disciple, Tang Sanzang had no choice but to take a gamble!
With this anxiety, Tang Sanzang strode away without any further response.
And he just took two steps and stopped unconsciously.
Roar!
The dragon's roar echoed throughout the sky at this moment.
I saw the Dragon King of the Four Seas stepping on the water waves and approaching Huaguo Mountain.
The sky also rolled up with clouds and mist, condensing into four ferocious and cold dragon faces, overlooking the place.
"Old neighbor, I, the old grandson, have been living in harmony with your dragon clan for thousands of years. I'm afraid it's inappropriate for you to add insult to injury at this time, right?"
Seeing that the other party was unkind, Sun Wukong, who was about to call it quits, had dissatisfaction in his eyes.
"The Great Sage has misunderstood. I have no intention of starting a war with you."
Ao Guang, the Dragon King of the East China Sea, shook his head, "It's just that my third brother still has some private matters to deal with this holy monk. I wonder if I can give him some time?"
The third brother Ao Guang mentioned naturally refers to Ao Run, the Dragon King of the West Sea, and he is also Xiao Bailong's father.
At the same time, the Dragon King of the West Sea has also moved his dragon body and arrived above the Huaguo Mountain.
A pair of bell-like eyes looked directly at Tang Sanzang.
Regarding this, Sun Wukong's eyes showed displeasure, but Tang Sanzang stopped him.
"Ao Run, if you are blocking my way at this time, is it because you hate me for killing your brother-in-law, the Dragon King of Jinghe?"
Tang Sanzang looked up at the giant dragon and asked calmly.
"How can I not hate the death of my dearest relative at your hands?"
The Dragon King of the West Sea sighed, "But he is an abandoned son in the eyes of heaven. From the moment he decided to go to the Tang Dynasty as an envoy, he was destined to die."
"Even if he doesn't die in your hands, he will be killed by others. So although I hate you, I don't blame you."
After hearing this, Tang Sanzang couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.
It seems that his guess was indeed correct. Although the Dragon Clan is loyal to Heaven, they have long been complaining secretly.
The Dragon King of the West Sea has a clear mind, so he naturally knows who is responsible for the death of the Dragon King of the Jinghe River.
"In this case, the hostility between the poor monk and the dragon clan has turned into friendship!"
In response, Tang Sanzang nodded, and then looked at the little white dragon not far from the East China Sea.
After all, Xiao Bailong had already promised that as long as his father would not blame him, he would be willing to worship him as his teacher and go to the West to learn scriptures together.
Now it seems that it is time for him to fulfill his previous promise!
"Hmph, you want to turn a fight into friendship? It's not that easy!"
However, just as Tang Sanzang was overjoyed, he was quickly shattered by a basin of cold water.
The blood-stained Bailong of the West Sea Dragon Dynasty glanced at him, "Are the injuries on my son Ao Lie all caused by your own hands?"
"That's true, but..."
"Ao Lie is my most beloved son!"
Tang Sanzang was about to explain, but the Dragon King of the West Sea interrupted him rudely, "I don't blame you for killing my brother-in-law, but you shouldn't be so cruel to him!"
"If I don't vent my anger for him today, how can I be worthy of a competent father?"
After hearing this, the little white dragon in the distance became anxious, "Father, the reason why the holy monk taught me a lesson was because I was wrong. Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, how about we..."
"Shut up!"
But before he finished speaking, the Dragon King of the West Sea stopped him, "This is a matter between me and Tang Sanzang, please stop interfering here!"
Listening to the singing of their father and son, Tang Sanzang's expression immediately turned playful.
Although the Dragon King of the West Sea looks aggressive on the surface, he doesn't really seem to stand up for his son. It's more like... he wants to find a reason to fight with me?
With this thought, Tang Sanzang looked into the depths of the East China Sea.
Looking at the densely packed dragon army in the depths of the East China Sea, he suddenly understood.
After all, the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas gathered in the East China Sea under the orders of Heaven to monitor Sun Wukong's every move.
If they were allowed to go to heaven, if the Jade Emperor was furious afterwards, he would definitely sentence their Dragon King to dereliction of duty!
Therefore, the Dragon King of the West Sea used Ao Lie as an excuse to have a big fight with him, just to let the dragon clan have an explanation in front of the Jade Emperor.
"If the Dragon King of the West Sea wants to fight, how can this poor monk not accompany him?"
After understanding the intention of the Dragon King of the West Sea, Tang Sanzang banged his Zen staff on the ground and immediately agreed.
"In that case, then suffer death!"
