Journey to the West: Tang Monk Conquers Everything

Chapter 104 Restless Mind…Wandering Thoughts



Aolie, originally the third Crown Prince of the Western Sea Dragon Palace, was extraordinarily talented and naturally possessed unparalleled arrogance. As a prince of the Dragon Clan, one of the Four Seas, he was full of spirit before his banishment to Eagle Sorrow Stream.

Unfortunately, now he was under the eaves and had no choice but to bow his head.

It was precisely because he was born in the Dragon Palace that Aolie understood how difficult it was to rise within the system of Immortals and Buddhas, and this Journey to the West could be seen as a great fortuity arising from misfortune.

Thus, even if it meant swallowing his pride, like a piece of dog, err, sticking plaster, he adhered to the Scripture Seeker, shamelessly determined to mix in all the way to the Western Heaven.

He had displayed his unmatched swiftness in running. In the Little White Dragon's view, the Scripture Seeker ought to have had a change of heart by now, right?

Yet, to his astonishment, the Scripture Seeker remained unmoved, seemingly oblivious to his lightning-fast running speed.

Running back and forth like a frolicking dog, the Scripture Seeker completely ignored him as if he were thin air, which was somewhat unbearable to Aolie. Several thoughts crossed his mind: Should I stop serving such a difficult person and just leave?

But then thinking of the consequences of leaving, he might have to spend his life suppressed under Eagle Sorrow Stream as punishment. If he could successfully join the Scripture Seeking Team, on the other hand, there would be a broad and smooth road ahead. Even a fool would know how to choose when comparing the two.

Therefore, just as the thought of giving up sprang to his mind, it was quickly suppressed by the Little White Dragon.

Good things come to those who wait, right? Wanting to achieve a Golden Body and True Fruition, what's a little loss of face?

Moreover, the thing he wanted to do could only be achieved by successfully arriving at Spirit Mountain and receiving his title!

What Aolie was thinking, Jiang Liu naturally didn't have the inclination to concern himself with; he clearly saw the White Dragon Horse's speed that was as fast as lightning.

Watching such speed, Jiang Liu's mouth twitched slightly, and his heart was even more resistant…

Upon reaching Wu City, Jiang Liu naturally returned to his stall, carrying on with his work of healing the people of the world, offering treatments free of charge to every injured commoner.

The Guanyin Mantra fell one after another, and the progress of his second round of the reclassing mission advanced steadily.

Notice: Mission completion 92/200

Notice: Mission completion 99/200.

...

Because he exhibited twelve Scar of Precepts, it caused a significant celebrity effect. Along with the immediate effect of the Guanyin Mantra, nearly all minor bruises and injuries were healed with just one recitation, which also provoked a great response.

Therefore, many commoners in Wu City were almost queueing up for Jiang Liu's treatments.

With the Guanyin Mantra's cooldown time of 600 seconds, it could be cast six times an hour. From the look of this progress, it wouldn't take too much time to complete the second part of his reclassing mission.

In front of the stall, Jiang Liu's mind was focused on the injured commoners, treating them with enthusiasm, while beside him, Sun Wukong lay on a plank of wood, legs crossed, a tree branch dangling from his mouth, the epitome of boredom.

Next to him, the White Dragon Horse also stood quietly, patiently waiting for Jiang Liu to finish his work.

Although it did not understand why Jiang Liu would choose to treat the commoners here rather than continue seeking the scriptures, it did not dare to ask more questions.

Since the Scripture Seeker treated him as if he were as inconspicuous as air, he decided to follow along with a thick face.

"Hey, you're the Little White Dragon called Aolie, aren't you?" Perhaps because Sun Wukong was bored, he suddenly struck up a conversation with the White Dragon Horse beside him.

"Yes, Great Saint, my name is Aolie," the White Dragon Horse hurriedly replied upon hearing Sun Wukong's words.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Not to mention that he was already a member of the Scripture Seeking Team and needed to establish a good relationship with him, but given his past identity as the Great Sage Equalling Heaven, that held a lot of weight.

"Surname Ao, eh? As I know, only the Dragon Kings of the four seas have the surname Ao," Sun Wukong continued after receiving Little White Dragon's reply.

"Yes, the Little Dragon is indeed the third Crown Prince of the Western Sea Dragon King. When Great Sage visited the Eastern Sea to borrow weapons, my royal father also gifted Great Sage a Phoenix-Wing Purple Gold Crown," the White Dragon Horse eagerly offered, seeing that Sun Wukong was willing to chat with him, aiming to draw a bit closer in their relationship.

"Oh, I remember now. The Old Dragon King of the Eastern Sea was indeed a bit stingy. I merely took the Sea Calming Needle, yet when I wanted to ask for armor, it turns out that the Golden Chainmail, Phoenix-Wing Purple Gold Crown, and Lotus Filament Step-on-Cloud Shoes were all cobbled together by his three brothers."

Thinking back to when he went to the Eastern Sea to retrieve the Sea Calming Needle, Sun Wukong couldn't help but grumble about it.

The Dragon King of Eastern Sea was indeed wealthy, and it's true that the Dragon Clan loves to collect treasures, but, ultimately, they were a bit too stingy.

"However, back then, receiving a Phoenix-Wing Purple Gold Crown from your Western Sea did add to your popularity. Not bad, not bad at all."

"It was just a Phoenix-Wing Purple Gold Crown. If you, Great Sage, like it, I am willing to acquire a few more treasures for you," the White Dragon Horse said, following Sun Wukong's remark.

However, at this point, he paused briefly before adding, "It's just that back then, Great Sage, you had newly completed your training and had no treasures with you, but now you are renowned throughout the Three Realms, with an illustrious name. I imagine some of the treasures of our Dragon Clan probably won't catch your eye.

Five hundred years ago, Great Sage, your grace and power truly shook the Three Realms and Six Paths. I, Little Dragon, have always admired you."

"Hehehe, you Little White Dragon, you do have some insight, but don't go on praising me too much. Saying too much can seem tacky," Sun Wukong said with a snicker, his eyes crinkling into smiles. He sat up straight and, while clearly overjoyed, almost ready to do a couple of somersaults, he still spoke with reserve.

After a short pause, Sun Wukong spoke seriously, "Such praise, let's keep it to no more than ten times a day, uh, make it twenty."

The White Dragon Horse at his side, upon hearing this, was momentarily stunned. His horse face twitched slightly, then he nodded and said, "Understood, Great Sage."

"Alright, enough with calling me Great Sage. Call me 'Eldest Brother' instead. Since you were enlightened by Guanyin, you will eventually join us on our journey," Sun Wukong said, patting the White Dragon Horse's head. Though he was short and thin, he carried the composure of a big brother.

"Really!? Thank you, Eldest Brother!" Although Sun Wukong couldn't decide whether he would stay or go, by saying those words, he had at least accepted him, which overjoyed the White Dragon Horse.

Jiang Liu was waiting for the Cooldown Time of the Guanyin Mantra skill when he glanced over.

He naturally heard the conversation between Sun Wukong and the White Dragon Horse, which occurred right beside him, without any intent of avoiding him.

Looking at Sun Wukong swinging his tail behind his butt, Jiang Liu's face turned a shade darker. Was Sun Wukong eager to keep the White Dragon Horse close just to listen to his own praises, or was it again to hear praises of himself?

Seeing how Sun Wukong and the White Dragon Horse were getting along so well, Jiang Liu shook his head helplessly, "Mind like a wild monkey, heart like a runaway horse. Isn't that phrase just right? This monkey and horse seem to be getting on like a house on fire."

"By the way, Eldest Brother, I have a question. Master didn't want to take me in. How did you manage to get him to agree to take you on?"

Having a pleasant conversation, the White Dragon Horse casually asked Sun Wukong, curious.
