Chapter 21: The Western Regions

Bodhidharma leaned his staff against a tree and sat cross-legged under the tree, clasping his hands together and meditating quietly.

Sun Wukong took the bowl and walked towards the outside of the forest where the stream was babbling.

Sun Wukong jumped to the water's edge, squatted down, and scooped water with a bowl. Suddenly, a white figure sped across the water like lightning.

Sun Wukong was vigilant, put the bowl at his feet, and stood up.

The white shadow suddenly cut through the water and floated in front of Wukong, a fierce sword qi came from the air, Sun Wukong flashed backwards, waved the golden hoop stick, and caught the sword qi alive.

The white figure quickly drew a perfect arc around Wukong with sword qi, and where the sword qi slashed, lightning beeped. As soon as Sun Wukong's feet landed, he jumped up in the air, fought hard, and slammed into the white figure, but only a deep pit was left on the ground, and the lightning in the arc followed the golden hoop stick and led to Sun Wukong's body.

Sun Wukong was immediately shocked and staggered back a few steps.

"Who are you who dare to attack your grandfather here?" Goku said through gritted teeth.

"You demon clan, you speak the human language so neatly and neatly, if you catch you, you will definitely know where the demon lair is." Li Bai said.

"Uh, what demons? My grandson used to be, and now he has broken off with the demon clan and converted to the law. Goku said.

"Skinny monkey, and surname, what's your name?" Li Bai asked curiously.

"If you don't change your name, if you don't change your surname, I'm the famous Monkey King. Look at your white and pure, who are you, my grandson is scooping water here for the master to drink, why do you want to sneak attack me? Could it be that this river belongs to your family? Goku asked rhetorically.

"Oh? You are the Monkey King, the one who once made a big fuss in the place of origin and was imprisoned under the Five Elements Mountain for 500 years, right? Li Bai said with a smile.

"Little brother, can you still play and chat happily?" Goku snorted.

"Haha, in Xia Li Bai, people send Ya Title, 'Sword Immortal', this time to the west, deep into the hinterland, in order to find the nests of all the demons in the Western Regions, I don't know Elder Sun, can you tell me a thing or two?" Li Bai said.

"After I broke off contact with the demons, I have been detained at the foot of the Five Elements Mountain, and I have no way of knowing their whereabouts. But you can ask my master, he probably knows a lot. Goku said.

"Where is the Venerable Master, I am tired of you leading me to meet you." Li Bai said.

"It's on the other side of the woods, you come with me." Wukong picked up the bowl full of water again and walked cautiously.

Bodhidharma was still sitting under the tree, his eyes closed, and he was meditating. A few fallen leaves, slowly falling under the breeze. A butterfly landed on his shoulder, and he didn't even notice it.

"Master, the water is coming, the water is coming." Wukong held the level smoothly in front of Bodhidharma.

Bodhidharma opened his eyes and suddenly saw an unfamiliar face, closely following behind Goku.

"Wukong, who is the one behind you?" Bodhidharma asked.

"Under Li Bai, meet the elder master." Li Bai replied with his hand.

"Oh, hehe, he's an assassin I met by the river, it's okay." Wukong playfully replied.

"Assassin, what assassin?" Bodhidharma looked surprised.

"Master Elder, it was just a misunderstanding just now, I mistakenly thought that your apprentice was a demon, so I pressed forward step by step and secretly attacked. Later, I learned that he had already converted to Shamen and no longer had anything to do with the demons. This time, I went west to find the location of the demon clan's lair in the Western Regions, I don't know if the elder master has seen or heard? Li Bai said.

"I see, although I came from the west, I have never inquired about the whereabouts of the demons. But I think the root cause of the chaos in the world is not in the demons, but in the hearts of the people. Therefore, my apprentice and I are going to Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty to exhort the empress not to kill in vain, but to unite all the forces that can be united, and the demons will naturally retreat! Bodhidharma said slowly.

"Master Elder, what you said is reasonable, but right now, the long-term war in the Western Regions has been caused by the demons. Wouldn't it be better if we found their nests and we could catch them all? Li Bai said.

"The demon clan has multiplied for many years, how can it be wiped out at one time, and the poor monks have nothing to say." Bodhidharma picked up the Zen staff and walked out of the forest.
