Soul Ferry: My master is Uncle Jiu

Chapter 458 Che Chiguo

The shrimp soldiers and crab generals of the West Sea Dragon Palace and the patrolling yakshas all raised their weapons and pointed them at An Yan, the uninvited guest who came riding a cow.

An Yan looked down and patted the bull's head lightly, and the Bull Demon King immediately kicked his hooves and mooed softly.

The aura unique to the Great Sage of the Demon Clan spread out, fierce and domineering.

The entire huge West Sea Dragon King, his shrimp soldiers and crab generals, patrolling sea yakshas, ​​and the weaker dragon sons and grandsons all fell unconscious in an instant.

The remaining people in the Dragon Palace who were still standing looked at the Taoist who was riding a cow with fear on their faces.

The face of the Dragon King of the West Sea was pale at this moment.

The Bull Demon King carried An Yan outside the hall.

Ao Lie hurriedly went out to greet him, and asked with some surprise: "Master, why are you here?"

"I am here to support you, so that no one will think that my disciple is easy to bully."

"Right, Dragon King of the West Sea!"

An Yan answered Ao Lie's question with a smile, then looked at the pale-faced Dragon King of the West Sea with a half-smile.

The Dragon King of the West Sea shuddered upon hearing this, and smiled a smile uglier than crying. He bowed and asked, "Excuse me, are you the one appointed by the Supreme Lord Lao to preach the scriptures to the West?"

"Oh? It seems that the Dragon King is not unaware of this." An Yan narrowed his eyes slightly.

"You know this, but you still dare to be rude to my disciples who are protecting me while I am teaching the scriptures. I think you, Dragon King, simply don't take Taishang Laojun seriously!"

"When else did you, the Dragon Palace of the West Sea, obey the orders of Lingshan? Does the Jade Emperor know?"

After a few words, the Dragon King of the West Sea was so frightened that he fell to his knees in front of An Yan, prostrating himself and begging for mercy, "My Immortal, please be clear! Ao Shun was a dragon in heaven when he was alive, and a ghost in heaven when he died. How dare you disrespect heaven? How dare you disrespect Taishang Laojun?"

Seeing his father who was so arrogant one moment, Huang became like a stray dog ​​the next.

A complex look flashed in Ao Lie's eyes, and at the same time, it also strengthened his determination to follow his master.

There is no future in staying stuck in the world. Only by escaping the constraints of the sea can he truly soar into the sky and overlook the world.

When the Dragon King of the West Sea saw that An Yan didn't say anything, he looked at Ao Lie with pleading eyes. At this moment, his heart was full of bitterness.

Unexpectedly, the thing he valued least turned out to be the most outstanding.

What a slap in the face!
Ao Shun now regrets deeply.

Seeing this, Ao Lie sighed, after all, he was his father.

So he pleaded, "Master, I beg you to forgive me. The fault lies with the little crocodile. My father was deceived by him, so he acted irrationally."

When the Dragon King of the West Sea heard that Ao Lie had let bygones be bygones and absolved him of his father's responsibility, all the resentment in his heart suddenly vanished, and he quickly said, "Yes, yes! Immortal, I am willing to hand over the little crocodile and let you deal with it!"

The little crocodile was so happy that he jumped up excitedly, "Uncle! You..."

As a result, before he could finish his sentence, the Dragon King of the West Sea used his magic power to seal the little crocodile's mouth.

Seeing this, An Yan smiled and said, "In the future, I hope the Dragon King will think twice before acting."

"This time, for Ao Lie's sake, I can spare your West Sea Dragon Palace."

"But if there is a next time and you fall into the hands of the Jade Emperor, I don't think even if you have many dragons in the West Sea Dragon Palace, you will not be able to send them to the Dragon Slaying Platform to be beheaded."

The Dragon King of the West Sea was startled and immediately realized that he was being asked to take a position!
As someone who often went to the human world to control the clouds and rain, he knew that Taoism and Buddhism were now fighting in the four continents.

If we are not careful, it may very likely lead to a war between Taoism and Buddhism.

Although Buddhism seems to be flourishing now, it is like a flower blooming in a brocade and a fire boiling oil. Although Taoism seems to be declining, it has been steadily passed down in the four continents and has a profound foundation.

Moreover, the Heavenly Palace is located above all other heavens, while Lingshan is located in a corner.

Even though it is powerful, it cannot affect the status of Heaven.

The Dragon King of the West Sea regained his sanity and immediately understood the problem thoroughly.

The chances of winning against Buddhism are slim, but if they lose, they will be cannon fodder and be dead.

Whether winning or losing against the Heavenly Court, it will not have much impact on him, not to mention that the Heavenly Court and the Taoist sect have a great chance of winning.

"Reply to the Immortal, this kind of thing will never happen again in my West Sea Dragon Palace!"

"Please rest assured, Immortal!"

As the Dragon King of the West Sea said this, he tied up the little crocodile and brought it to An Yan.

The little crocodile is now very desperate. He thought he had got a good job, but unexpectedly it was his last meal before execution.

But now that he can't speak, he is destined to be the chicken that is killed.

Ao Lie picked up the little crocodile.

An Yan was not surprised by the answer from the Dragon King of the West Sea, because the other party was not a fool, not to mention that he was blocking the door.

The Dragon King of the West Sea seems to have a choice, but in fact he has no choice.

"In that case, Dragon King of the West Sea, I hope you will remember what happened today."

"Ao Lie, let's go."

"Yes, Master."

An Yan rode the white bull and headed out of the Dragon Palace.

Ao Lie glanced at his father and prepared to leave with the little crocodile.

Upon seeing this, the Dragon King of the West Sea raised his hand and shouted, "Ao Lie, as long as father is here, this will always be your home!"

Although remediation after the fact is not as good as providing timely assistance, it is better than doing nothing.

Ao Lie paused for a moment, without looking back, and hummed softly, "I'll come back when I have time."

After all, in Ao Lie's mind, the Dragon King of the West Sea was not the kind of father who was so bad that he could not accept it, so when his father surrendered, he did not refuse.

After hearing Ao Lie's answer, the Dragon King of the West Sea smiled.

As long as Ao Lie still recognizes him as his father, he can be considered to have indirectly relied on Taishang Laojun.

Prince Moang, who was frightened earlier, came to his father with a shaky face, but soon calmed down and supported the Dragon King of the West Sea and said, "Father, are you okay?"

No one knows a son better than his father. How could Moang's little thoughts be hidden from the Dragon King of the West Sea? He snorted and said, "Are you thinking that your father is going to abolish your position as the crown prince and support your third brother Ao Lie to take the throne?"

Moang was shocked when his secret was revealed, and he said, "Father, I dare not!"

"Hmph! Don't worry, your third brother no longer values ​​my position. You don't have to worry about him competing with you for it. He is destined to soar into the sky, not like us, who are destined to lurk in the deep sea."

"That An Yan is really scary!"

“I didn’t expect that even a figure like Bull Demon King would become his mount!”

The Dragon King of the West Sea sighed.

He had once invited the Bull Demon King to the Dragon Palace for a banquet, so he naturally recognized that the white bull was the Bull Demon King.

It was precisely because of this that he had no intention of resisting just now.

He believed that he was no match for the Bull Demon King, and even less of a match for An Yan, who was able to subdue the Bull Demon King.

Mo'ang, who was standing by, was not as happy as he had imagined after hearing the answer he wanted.

On the contrary, if he could go back on time, he would definitely choose to let his third brother Ao Lie stay as the crown prince without hesitation.

Which real dragon doesn't want to soar in the sky and overlook the world?
After leaving the Dragon Palace, Ao Lie followed closely beside his master An Yan, pursed his lips, and said seriously: "Master, thank you." "If it weren't for you today..."

"Okay, my disciple An Yan is not the kind of fussy person."

"Your performance in Dragon Palace is very satisfactory to me. As my disciple, you must have this kind of spirit!"

"If you can't beat him, remember to ask your master for help. If your master can't beat him, ask Taishang Laojun for help! There's nothing to be afraid of!"

An Yan knew what Ao Lie wanted to say and interrupted him directly.

As for whether Ao Lie would offend a quasi-saint or a saint, An Yan was not worried at all.

If Ao Lie, a Golden Immortal, could provoke such an existence, he could only say that he was awesome.

What's more, how can it be so easy to meet a quasi-saint or a saint?
As for Daluo, he is not afraid at all now.

By the Black Water River, Sun Wukong and his companions had already eaten up all the seafood that Ao Lie brought up and were picking their teeth.

But if you look closely, you will find that two copies were left aside, obviously An Yan and Ao Lie were not forgotten.

"Look! It's Senior Brother and Master who are back! And my dad too!"

Red Boy, who was spraying fire at the water out of boredom, suddenly felt something. He looked up at the sky and saw An Yan and the other two returning. He immediately said excitedly.

Hearing this, everyone looked over.

The Black Water River God also saw the little crocodile that was tied up in Ao Lie's hand and rubbed his eyes in disbelief, "This! This is really brought back!"

Ao Lie brought the little crocodile to the Black Water River God with a serious face, threw it in front of the river god, and said: "I have brought the person back to you. How to deal with it is up to you as the river god."

Seeing that the Black Water River God still looked a little bit unconvinced, An Yan frowned and said, "Isn't this enough for you to believe?"

“No, no, I dare not.” The Black Water River God waved his hands in fear and said quickly: “Thank you, Immortal, for subduing this little crocodile.”

"If possible, I want this little crocodile to redeem himself from his crime and serve as my river patrol commander!"

"Although I don't know why the little crocodile suddenly attacked the immortals, but before that, the little crocodile rarely hurt people, unless it was a strong man who committed a crime on the river."

The little crocodile, who was originally disheartened, did not expect that the one who helped him to exonerate himself was the river god who had been driven away by him. He was overwhelmed with emotions for a moment.

An Yan raised his eyebrows upon hearing this and said, "River God, you don't have to consider my feelings. One is one, two is two, you don't have to feel any psychological burden."

When the Blackwater River God heard this, he quickly said, "Reporting to the Immortal, everything I said is true and I would never dare to deceive the Immortal."

"If you don't believe me, you can ask my subordinates in the Water Palace."

Seeing the Black Water River God's solemn look, An Yan, who originally wanted to attack the little crocodile, had to give up the idea.

After all, he knew why the little crocodile attacked them. It was because it was following the orders of the Dragon King of the West Sea.

So what the Black Water River God said is very likely true.

But Sanzang was also on the boat with him, so he had to ask Sanzang's opinion.

"Sanzang, what do you think?"

After hearing the words of the Black Water River God, Tang Sanzang had a guess in his mind. He was afraid that the little crocodile might have done such a thing because he listened to the Bodhisattva.

Thinking that he had escaped danger, he was tolerant and said, "Then let's do as you say, River God. Let the little crocodile make amends for his crime and protect the people on both sides of the Blackwater River."

When the little crocodile heard everyone's decision for him, he burst into tears of gratitude and wanted to say something, but unfortunately his voice was sealed by the Dragon King of the West Sea, and he could not speak for a while.

An Yan saw the little crocodile's predicament, raised his hand and released a magical power to break the little crocodile's restriction.

"I, the Sinful Dragon, would like to express my gratitude to the Immortal, the Saint Monk, and the River God for not killing me. From now on, I will make amends for my crime and patrol the Blackwater River carefully to protect the people on both sides of the river to live and work in peace and contentment!"

The little crocodile, who had regained his freedom and the ability to speak, kowtowed immediately.

Seeing this, An Yan believed it for the time being, "I hope you can do what you say. If I find out that you dare to say one thing and do another, I will definitely send you to the Dragon Slaying Platform."

"The sinful dragon dare not lie!"

The little crocodile was terrified.

Seeing the little crocodile's repeated assurances, An Yan decided not to pursue the matter any further.

Then, with the farewell of the Black Water River God and the little crocodile, An Yan and others continued their journey westward.

The aroma of shrimps and crabs wafted far away.

Really fragrant!

After this walk, we passed through the wind and snow and welcomed early spring.

The frost gradually melts into gurgling clear mountain springs, old trees sprout new buds, willow branches stretch out, and all things come to life in the spring breeze and drizzle.

An Yan and his companions were on the road, walking slowly and enjoying the scenery. Red Boy was teasing Zhu Bajie, which made Zhu Bajie secretly anxious. He wished he could catch Red Boy, the naughty kid, and give him a beating.

Every time when he was about to catch it, the big white bull would moo softly, with its eyes slightly slanted, as if to say, "Do you dare to try and hit me?"
Every time this happened, Zhu Bajie could only go to An Yan to complain, which made Sun Wukong and others laugh, and they said that Bajie couldn't even stop a child.

This made Zhu Bajie grumble and yell, saying that Red Boy was too naughty.

At this moment, a shout suddenly came from the front, as if thousands of people were shouting, overwhelming.

Tang Sanzang grabbed the reins, stopped the horse, and said in surprise: "What is that sound? It sounds like a landslide!"

An Yan thought to himself that they should be close to Chechi Country, so he said, "Speed ​​up, let's go forward and take a look, then we'll know."

Tang Sanzang nodded, "Yes, let's speed up then."

As a result, the group lost interest in enjoying the spring scenery and continued walking along the road.

Soon, the outline of the city appeared before our eyes.

From afar, there was only a faint auspicious light, without any evil spirit or smell of war.

Where did that loud noise come from?

Just then, Tang Sanzang and the others noticed it again.

There was an open space on the beach outside the city gate, where a bald monk was standing, reflecting the light, pulling a cart to transport sand.

Whenever they exerted their strength, they would shout together, "Great Power Bodhisattva!"

The loud noise was made by those monks.

Sun Wukong was amazed and said, "Where is this place? I can see such a wonderful sight."

You know, along the way, the monks I saw were either potbellied or wearing jewelry, and it was rare to see them doing such rough and tiring work.

Zhu Bajie was also curious and asked, "Master, could it be that the sun rises from the west today?"

"Bajie, how can you talk like that?" Tang Sanzang glared at Zhu Bajie.

But Tang Sanzang was also curious.

An Yan shook his head and said, "Instead of being curious, why not go up and take a look."

"Let's go!"

As everyone got closer, three big words soon appeared on the city.

That’s right, Chechi Kingdom.
