Journey Starts From Wudang - Chapter 520
After Lu Zhi turned around and left, he had just returned to Wudang Mountain for half a month. He felt that Tang Monk’s teachers and disciples had come to Yingchou stream, so he set up his escape light again and came to the land of Xiniu Hezhou.
On a deep stream, the Tang Monk and the master and apprentice of the monkey king were looking at the swift river under the mountain stream.
Just before they passed the mountain stream, there was a calm deep pool below. Suddenly, there were big waves, torrents surging, and a huge white shadow suddenly came out of the waves and swallowed the white horse under the Tang monk.
If the Tang Monk had not been protected by the monkey king and robbed him in time, I’m afraid even the Tang Monk would have been swallowed by the white shadow!
After saving the Tang monk, the monkey king wanted to catch up with the white shadow, but the white shadow in the pool was just a probe, so he drilled back into the deep pool below, even the monkey king couldn’t catch up.
“What can I do?” Tang monk was so anxious that he turned around, “our luggage and documents are also hung on the saddle. If we can’t find the reply book, how can we go west?”
“Moreover, the white horse has been eaten, and there will be no foot power in the future. The journey to the west is far away. I’m afraid it will be more difficult for the poor monk to have a physical fetus… Wukong, do you have a way to get our luggage back?”
The document in the mouth of Tang Monk refers to the customs clearance document given to him by Tang Emperor Li Shimin, which is also equivalent to the identity seal of Tang monk, on which his native place and Li Shimin’s personal approval are written.
When the Tang monks and Taoists traveled westward through various countries, they needed to worship the above-mentioned ultimatum, seal and seal to the kings everywhere, so as to successfully pass through various countries.
If there is no such documentary proof, how can Tang Monk prove his identity in the future? How could those western countries recognize him? I’m afraid they have to be caught as a liar before they wait for the West!
That’s why the Tang monk was so anxious and ordered the monkey king to find their luggage and customs clearance documents.
The monkey king also looked embarrassed and said, “master, to tell you the truth, my old sun can go to heaven and earth, but under the water… My old sun’s water nature is not very good. He can only play two or three percent of his kung fu under the water, but it’s difficult.”
Tang monk was also a little silly, and hurriedly said, “Wukong, aren’t you known as the great saint of the whole sky? Why are you afraid of water?”
In fact, although the monkey king did not have a good water war, he did not reach that level. After all, he was also the one who broke through the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea. He just Just don’t think hard.
“Master, don’t panic. If you can’t, the disciple will turn the golden cudgel into a thousand feet long and directly stir the pond and mountain stream. I don’t believe that the man under the water won’t come out!” The monkey king deliberately gave a bad idea.
Tang Monk quickly stopped and said, “no! Our luggage has been taken by the man. If you mess up the deep pool, our luggage will be broken.”
“Then my grandson can’t do anything.”
The monkey king has made up his mind and will never go into the water.
Tang Monk could only sigh helplessly. Then he thought of something and said, “by the way, Wukong, Emperor Zhenwu once said that if we encounter any unsolvable difficulties on the way to the west, we can go to Wudang Mountain to find him for help. Wukong, why don’t you go and ask emperor Zhenwu to help us?”
Hearing the speech, the monkey king’s eyes flashed slightly. Some didn’t want to answer, but he couldn’t really be lazy After all, Tang Monk can recite the tight hoop curse!
The monkey king was impatient and said, “then I’ll send you back to the old man’s house and let him accompany you. Then I’ll go to Wudang Mountain again.”
Although he didn’t have much enthusiasm for the journey to the west, Sun Wukong respected Tang Seng. After all, he saved himself from difficulties, so before leaving, he wanted to settle Tang Seng first, so as not to leave Tang Seng here alone after he left, and then be hurt by things in the pool.
Just then, Lu Zhi’s voice sounded in their ears at the right time: “don’t wait for the great sage. Please come. I’ve arrived.”
Hearing the speech, Monkey King and Tang Monk quickly turned their heads and saw a golden light falling, showing Lu Zhi’s figure.
“Zhenwu emperor.”
“Emperor.”
The two quickly saluted, and Lu Zhi responded before saying.
“I already know what happened to you two. I’m here to solve your problems.”
Tang Monk put his hands together and said, “thank you, Emperor.”
Lu Zhi nodded: “don’t worry about Xuanzang. I’ll let him show up and make amends to you.”
After saying that, Lu Zhi directly turned his head to look at the Shen River below and said, “little white dragon, the eastern Scripture collector has come here. What are you waiting for? Don’t you show up and see him soon?”
“Ang!”
A loud dragon chant sounded, and a huge water column suddenly exploded in the deep stream below. A slender white dragon, like a white jade cast dragon, rose from the water column in an instant.
Monkey King narrowed his eyes: “it’s a white dragon?”
After the little white dragon surged up and took off in mid air, he immediately fell into a human shape and fell in front of the people. He knelt down and bowed down and said, “Ao lie pays homage to the great emperor.”
“Yes.” Lu Zhi answered and said, “all right, get up.”
After little white dragon got up, Lu Zhi introduced him: “this master Xuanzang is the Sutra collector on the West journey and your future master. Come and see him first.”
“Ao lie, pay respects to master!”
“This…” Tang Monk couldn’t react. He turned to Lu Zhi and said, “emperor, this almsgiver Ao lie?”
Lu Zhi said, “his name is Ao lie. He was originally the Third Prince of the West Sea Dragon King. His father, the West Sea Dragon King, sued his majesty for disobedience because he burned the Pearl given by his Majesty the Jade Emperor. Then he was sent to the middle circle of the eagle sorrow stream to guard here.”
After a pause, Lu Zhi said, “previously, he ate Xuanzang’s mount. In fact, it was his fate. After all, the white horse is only the blood of an ordinary horse. How can he carry you all the way to the West Tianling mountain?”
“Therefore, I will take his white dragon body and turn it into a white dragon horse today. I will help you with your feet all the way and carry you up the Lingshan mountain. It can also be regarded as a merit to him and wash away his injustice.”
At that time, Lingshan and Tianting set the time to go west, and the four seas dragon family also wanted to participate in it, so as to obtain some merit and luck for the declining dragon family.
This Ao lie is the person recommended by the dragon family, but unfortunately, the four people who are destined to take scriptures have already been determined, so little white dragon Ao lie can only be wronged to be a mount for the Tang monk.
Speaking of it, the four seas dragon clan has really declined to the extreme now. Even if they want to ride for their feet, they have to compromise.
Lu Zhi wanted to give little white dragon and the four seas dragon family behind him a convenience, but the matter had already been settled, and he couldn’t change it at will.
Therefore, he can only win the title of a disciple for little white dragon, so that he will not really become a mount without a title.
After listening to Lu Zhi’s story, Tang Monk looked at little white dragon and said, “this… You are the body of the divine dragon and turn into a white horse. Aren’t you wronged?”
There was a faint color in Xiaobai longan. If he wasn’t helpless, why would he hurt himself.
“Master doesn’t have to worry about disciple. Disciple is willing to turn into a white horse and carry master westward all the way. It’s a long way to Lingshan. Disciple is willing to send master to the Western Lingshan step by step!”
Seeing that little white dragon turned his head, Lu Zhi didn’t say much anymore. He raised his hand and shot a dark light at him. When the dark light flashed, he saw a divine white dragon horse stepping out of the dark light. The luggage on his back was the luggage and customs clearance ultimatum of Monk Tang’s teachers and disciples.
“All right.” Lu Zhi turned to the Tang Monk and said, “Xuanzang, your trip to the West Tianling mountain is far away, so don’t delay any more. Let’s start again.”
“What’s more, Xiniu Hezhou is not a good place. Demons breed and wild animals run wild all the way. If you encounter something that can’t be solved, you can send someone to Wudang Mountain to tell me.”
