After Lu Zhi turned around and left, he had just returned to Wudang Mountain for only half a month, and he felt that the Tang monk and apprentice had come to the Eagle Sorrow Stream, so he set up a retreat again and came to the land of Xiniu Hezhou.

On a deep stream, Tang Seng and Sun Wukong's master and apprentice were looking at the turbulent river under the mountain stream and worried.

Just when they passed by this mountain stream before, the deep pool below, which was originally calm, suddenly the waves were loud, the torrent surged, setting off a huge wave, and a huge white shadow suddenly struck out from the huge wave, swallowing the white horse under the Tang monk's seat in one bite.

If it weren't for Tang Seng having Sun Wukong's protection and snatching him out in time, I'm afraid even Tang Seng would have been swallowed by the white shadow!

After saving Tang Seng, Sun Wukong wanted to chase the white shadow, but the white shadow in the pool was just a probe, so he drilled back into the deep pool below, even Sun Wukong couldn't catch up.

"What can I do about this?" Tang Seng was so anxious that he turned around, "Our luggage and documents are also hanging on the saddle, if we can't find the papers, how can we go west?" ”

"And the white horse was eaten, and there was no leg strength in the future, and the westward journey was far away, and the poor monk was a mortal child, so I am afraid it would be even more difficult... Wukong, do you have a way to retrieve our baggage paperwork? ”

The document in Tang Seng's mouth refers to the customs clearance document given to him by Tang Emperor Li Shimin, which is also equivalent to Tang Seng's identity seal, which is written with his place of origin and Li Shimin's personal criticism.

When Tang Seng Tao passed through various countries along the way to the west, he needed to bow to the kings of various places and seal them, so that they could smoothly clear the customs of various countries.

And if there is no proof of this customs clearance document, how will Tang Seng prove his identity in the future? How could those Western countries approve of him, I am afraid that before he arrives in the Western Heavens, he will be regarded as a liar and arrested!

That's why Tang Seng was so anxious and instructed Sun Wukong to retrieve their luggage and customs clearance documents.

And Sun Wukong also had a difficult face, and said: "Master, I can't hide it, my old grandson has been in the sky and on the ground, but under the water... My grandson's water nature is not very good, and ten percent of the underwater kung fu can only be exerted at most two or three percent, but it is difficult to do. ”

Tang Seng was also a little dumbfounded, and hurriedly said: "Wukong, aren't you known as the Monkey King?" Why are you still afraid of water? ”

In fact, although Sun Wukong is indeed not good at water fighting, it is not to that extent, after all, he was also the one who broke through the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea back then, he just... I just don't want to work hard.

"Master, don't panic, if it doesn't work, the apprentice will turn the golden hoop stick into a thousand zhang long, and directly stir up this mountain stream, I don't believe that the person under the water will not come out!" Sun Wukong deliberately came up with a bad idea.

Tang Seng hurriedly stopped: "No, no! Our luggage has been taken by that man, and if you mess with this deep pool, we are afraid that our luggage will be shattered. ”

"Then my grandson has no way."

Sun Wukong has made up his mind and will never go into the water.

Tang Seng could only sigh helplessly, and then thought of something, and said: "By the way, Wukong, Emperor Zhenwu once said that if we encounter any unsolvable difficulties on the way west, we can go to Wudang Mountain to find him for help, Wukong, why don't you go and ask Emperor Zhenwu to come here to help us, right?" ”

When Sun Wukong heard this, his eyes flashed slightly, and he didn't want to deal with it, but he couldn't really be lazy... After all, Tang Seng can recite the mantra!

Sun Wukong responded a little impatiently: "Then I'll send you back to the old man's house in the back first, and let him accompany you, and then I'll go to Wudang Mountain." ”

Although he didn't have much motivation for the westward journey, Sun Wukong still respected Tang Seng, after all, he was the one who saved himself from trouble, so before leaving, he still thought about settling Tang Seng first, so as not to leave Tang Seng here alone after he left, and then be injured by the things in the pool.

At this moment, Lu Zhi's voice sounded in the ears of the two of them at the right time: "You don't have to wait for the Great Sage to come and invite you, I have already arrived." ”

Hearing this, Sun Wukong and Tang Seng hurriedly turned their heads to look, and saw a golden light falling, revealing Lu Zhi's figure.

"Emperor Zhenwu."

"Emperor."

The two hurriedly saluted, and Lu Zhi also responded, and then said.

"I already know the situation of the two of you, and this time I came to solve your problems."

Tang Seng clasped his hands together and bowed and thanked: "Thank you emperor." ”

Lu Zhi nodded: "Xuanzang don't worry, I will let him show up and make amends to you." ”

After that, Lu Zhi directly turned his head to look at Shen Jian below, and said, "Little White Dragon, the people who learned the scriptures from the East Earth have arrived here, what are you waiting for?" Why don't you show up and see you soon? ”

"Aang!"

A stirring dragon roar sounded, and a huge column of water suddenly exploded in the deep stream below, and a white dragon with a slender body, like a white jade cast, instantly rose from the water column.

Sun Wukong narrowed his eyes: "It turned out to be a white dragon?" ”

After the little white dragon surged and soared in mid-air, it suddenly turned into a fall, turned into a human form and landed in front of everyone, knelt down and bowed down: "Ao Lie greets the emperor." ”

"Hmm." Lu Zhi responded and said, "Okay, get up." ”

After the little white dragon got up, Lu Zhi introduced him: "This Master Xuanzang is the person who traveled to the west to learn the scriptures, and he is also your future master, so you will come and see it first." ”

"Ao Lie, meet Master!"

"This..."Tang Seng couldn't react a little, and turned his head to look at Lu Zhi, "Emperor, this Ao Lie benefactor?" ”

Lu Zhi said: "His name is Ao Lie, he was originally the third prince of the Dragon King of the West Sea, because he burned the pearl given by His Majesty the Jade Emperor, he was complained to His Majesty the Jade Emperor by his father the Dragon King of the West Sea, and then he was sent to this eagle sorrow stream to be imprisoned and trapped here. ”

After a pause, Lu Zhi said again: "Before, he ate Xuanzang's mount, in fact, it was also fate, after all, that white horse is just the blood of ordinary horses, how can he carry you all the way to the West Tianling Mountain?" ”

"Therefore, today I will use his white dragon body to turn into a white dragon horse, all the way for your foot strength, 108,000 miles, carrying you up to Lingshan, which can be regarded as giving him a merit and washing away the injustices on his body."

Back then, Lingshan and Heavenly Court set the timing of their westward journey, and the Dragon Clan of the Four Seas also had the heart to participate in it, seeking some merit and luck for the Dragon Clan, which was already declining.

And this Ao Lie is the person recommended by the dragon clan, but unfortunately, the four people who learned the scriptures of the Mandate of Heaven have already been decided, so the little white dragon Ao Lie can only be wronged to make a mount for Tang Seng.

Speaking of which, the Four Seas Dragon Clan is really declining to the extreme, even if it is for the strength of the mount, let others ride all the way, and have to compromise.

And Lu Zhi had the intention of giving Xiao Bailong and the Four Seas Dragon Clan behind him a convenience, but the matter had already been decided, and he was not easy to change at will.

Therefore, he can only win the status of a disciple for Xiao Bailong, so that he will not really become a mount without even a name.

After listening to Lu Zhi's story, Tang Seng looked at Xiao Bailong and said, "This... You are the body of a dragon, turned into a white horse, aren't you wronged? ”

A gloomy look flashed in Xiao Bailong's eyes, if he wasn't helpless, why would he bother to practice himself.

"Master doesn't have to worry about the apprentice, the apprentice is willing to turn into a white horse, carry the master all the way to the west, this way to the spiritual mountain, the road is far away, the apprentice is willing to send the master step by step to the western spiritual mountain!"

Seeing that the little white dragon turned his head, Lu Zhi didn't say anything more, raised his hand and shot a Xuanguang at him, and in a flash of Xuanguang, he saw a divine horse white dragon horse stepping out of the Xuanguang, and the bag on his back was the luggage and customs clearance documents of Tang Seng and his apprentices.

"Alright." Lu Zhi turned to Tang Seng and said, "Xuanzang, your trip to West Tianling Mountain is far away, so don't delay any longer, let's get back on the road." ”

"Also, this West Niu Hezhou, but it is not a good place, along the way demons breed, wild beasts are rampant, if you encounter something that cannot be solved, you can send someone to Wudang Mountain to inform Yu Zhen, I will definitely take action."
