Just as Sun Wukong was about to leave, an old man surfaced from the water. Sun Wukong was about to strike him with his staff!
The old man quickly said, "Great Sage, Great Sage, please do not strike. This humble one is the river god of this place!"
Sun Wukong stopped his staff, pulled the old man out of the water, and said, "You are the river god of this place?"
The old man quickly bowed and said, "Great Sage, this humble one is indeed. It is detestable that the Tuo Long arrived here last May during the high tide, occupied my water dwelling, and drove me out. I went to the Dragon King to complain, but this fellow is the Dragon King's nephew. I had no recourse and was forced to stay underwater. Now that I see the Great Sage, I beg the Great Sage to dispense justice!"
Sun Wukong then understood what was happening and said, "Alright, I know. You may return now, I will go to the West Sea myself!"
The old man thanked him repeatedly and returned to the Black Water River!
Afterwards, Sun Wukong flew towards the West Sea on a somersault cloud!
Upon arriving at the West Sea, a patrolling night watcher saw Sun Wukong and quickly went to report!
"Trouble! The Great Sage Equalling Heaven has arrived!" the night watcher shouted from afar!
There was no other way. Sun Wukong's reputation was too fearsome, and a mere patrolling night watcher naturally felt terrified. Moreover, this monkey did not play by the rules and had even extorted the West Sea before!
The old Dragon King Ao Run strode out and happened to see Sun Wukong parting the waters and arriving at the Crystal Palace entrance!
The old Dragon King immediately said, "Greetings, Great Sage. Please enter and be seated for a while. Quickly, serve tea!"
Sun Wukong snorted and sneered, "I haven't had your tea yet, but you've already drunk my wine!"
The old Dragon King Ao Run was greatly alarmed and quickly said, "Great Sage, what do you mean? Aren't you a disciple of Buddhism, protecting the Tang Monk on his journey to the West? When did you invite this old dragon for a drink?"
Sun Wukong looked at the old Dragon King Ao Run and said directly, "You haven't come yet, but someone has already sent you an invitation!"
The old Dragon King Ao Run was momentarily bewildered. What was going on? He quickly apologized and asked what the matter was!
Sun Wukong directly threw out an invitation, it was from the Tuo Long!
The old Dragon King Ao Run dared not hesitate. He quickly opened the letter and, after reading it, was drenched in cold sweat. This scoundrel, you actually dared to provoke the pilgrimage team! What utter suicidal behavior! Especially, you even invited me to eat Tang Monk's flesh! I'll go to your ancestors! You must be out of your mind!
There was no other way. The old Dragon King Ao Run apologized repeatedly and said, "Great Sage, forgive me! Forgive me! That scoundrel is my sister's ninth son. Because my brother-in-law acted wrongly in controlling the wind and rain, and reduced the amount of rain, he was beheaded by the Heavenly Emperor's decree and the Heavenly Official Wei Zheng in a dream. My sister had nowhere to go, so this old dragon brought him here and raised him. Unfortunately, a few years ago, my sister passed away. I was afraid he would have nowhere to go, so I let him cultivate himself in the Black Water River. I never thought he would commit such evil. This old dragon will immediately send someone to capture him!"
"Hmph, you are all dragons, how could you give birth to such a mongrel?" Sun Wukong asked curiously!
After all, that scoundrel was not a dragon, but a turtle. That's why Sun Wukong had this question! Look at the White Dragon, he is a proper dragon!
The old Dragon King Ao Run wiped his sweat and said, "Dragons have nine sons, and each is different!"
"Good, old Dragon King, this time, for the sake of my little junior brother, I will spare you. In the past, I would have taken this invitation to the Heavenly Court and reported you to the Jade Emperor, hmph, at that time!" Sun Wukong did not finish, but the threat was obvious!
The old Dragon King Ao Run repeatedly thanked him and asked, "How is my son Ao Lie doing?"
Sun Wukong nodded and said, "When we reach the Spirit Mountain, he will surely attain enlightenment. You don't need to worry!"
"Yes, yes!" the old Dragon King Ao Run said quickly!
At this moment, a heroic and extraordinary man arrived from outside. Seeing the old Dragon King Ao Run, he respectfully bowed, "Greetings, Father!" He then turned to Sun Wukong and said, "This humble one, Mo Ang, greets the Great Sage!"
"This is your eldest son?" Sun Wukong asked!
The old Dragon King nodded repeatedly. He was very satisfied with his eldest son, and his cultivation was also good. He could be considered the future pillar of the West Sea!
"Good, good. Enough of pleasantries, quickly go capture that scoundrel. I don't want my master to suffer!" Sun Wukong said, waving his hand!
"Yes, Great Sage!" Mo Ang also said. There was no other way. This monkey was truly not to be trifled with. He was not some ignorant youngster. Look at his father, who was one of the Four Dragon Kings, and yet he had to be respectful to this monkey.
Moreover, the monkey was now one of the pilgrims in the flourishing Buddhist sect, something the West Sea could not afford to provoke!
When they arrived at the Black Water River, Mo Ang had already gone to the bottom of the river. Sun Wukong lay on the bank, waiting for the result!
"Cousin, you've arrived. Has Uncle not come?" the Tuo Long immediately asked!
Mo Ang's face turned dark, and he immediately rebuked, "You scoundrel, how dare you mention Father!"
The Tuo Long looked confused. What happened? I kindly invited you to a feast, why are you acting like this?
"Scoundrel, do you know who the monk you captured is?" Mo Ang asked furiously!
The Tuo Long nonchalantly said, "I know. That monk is a pilgrim from the Tang Dynasty, named Tang Sanzang. They say eating Tang Monk's flesh can grant immortality. As for that long-faced monk, Zhu Bajie, he's just a transformed pig demon! As for the one holding the precious staff, he ran away after taking a few of my whips! As for the one with the hairy face and thunderous mouth, he's nothing special, he doesn't even dare to go into the water!"
Mo Ang was stunned. Although the Tang Monk's three disciples were not much, their eldest disciple, Sun Wukong, was formidable. He was just too lazy to deal with you. Otherwise, with your cultivation, you were ten thousand miles behind Sun Wukong!
"That's because the Great Sage Sun did not make a move. Otherwise, ten of you would not be a match for the Great Sage Sun!" Mo Ang immediately scolded!
Do you really think the Great Sage Equalling Heaven was named for nothing? He earned it by causing chaos in the Heavenly Palace!
The Tuo Long was still dismissive. After all, he had never witnessed Sun Wukong's power, so he was very dismissive, thinking his elder cousin was simply frightened by the monkey's reputation!
"Elder cousin, if you're unwilling, then forget it. I wouldn't dare to disturb you anymore!" The Tuo Long was already very unhappy. I kindly invited you to eat Tang Monk's flesh, and you don't appreciate it!
"Scoundrel, now the Great Sage Sun is forcing my father to release the captives. You scoundrel have caused this trouble!" Mo Ang roared!
The Tuo Long also took out his steel whip and said, "Then let's exchange a few rounds. Let me see what kind of divine being this Great Sage Sun is!"
"Scoundrel, I will fight you. See if you can defeat me!" Mo Ang also took out his spear!
The two fought, and soon, the Tuo Long was no match for Mo Ang and was brought to the shore!
"Great Sage, this scoundrel has been captured. I beg the Great Sage to pass judgment!" Mo Ang said!
Sun Wukong glanced at him disdainfully and said, "A petty mongrel, daring to detain my master? Return him quickly!"
Soon, the river god brought out the Tang Monk and his disciples. As soon as Zhu Bajie came out, he jumped up and roared, "You scoundrel! You actually wanted to eat this Pig Grandfather of yours! You must have grown a pair of bear's heart and leopard's gall!"
He knew that he himself had been careless and capsized, which was why he was captured. To be honest, Zhu Bajie felt very aggrieved. It was one thing to not be able to defeat others, but he, Zhu Bajie, considered himself capable against a small dragon. However, he was captured due to carelessness, losing all face. After all, the monkey had specifically warned him beforehand. He could imagine how the monkey would deal with him later.
