The Journey to the West is over, and the Perfect Life System is here

Chapter 16 Past Grudges

Although Ao Lie did not formally become Tang Monk's disciple, but on the journey westward, except for Bajie who was always clamoring to sell his horse, the four masters and apprentices actually did not treat the little white dragon as an outsider.

Wukong naturally recognized this junior brother.

Then he got up and went outside the cave to greet him in person.

However, when they got outside the cave, they found that it was not only the little white dragon who came, but also a big man with red beard who had not fully transformed into a human body. There were a few dragon scales on both sides of his cheeks, and he was obviously also a dragon.

"Big Brother, I have come here with my cousin Chi Ran to ask you to come out and seek justice for my uncle's family!" Ao Lie, dressed in white, bowed respectfully.

"Fighting and Victory Buddha is wise, my father is innocent!" The big man with red beard next to him knelt down on the ground and kowtowed continuously.

"To uphold justice? To redress injustice?" Sun Wukong suddenly felt curious, but he first threw off his ochre-yellow robe, then put his hands behind his back, assumed a posture, and said in a deep voice, "Stand up and speak."

Chi Ran didn't say anything stupid like 'I won't get up unless you agree', and he and Xiao Bailong stood there respectfully.

This attitude made Sun Wukong very satisfied.

He asked Little White Dragon Ao Lie: "Who is your uncle?"

Ao Lie replied, "It is the Dragon King of Jing River."

Sun Wukong was puzzled. When he was traveling west and passing through the Black Water River, he had heard of the Jinghe Dragon King from Ao Shun, the then Dragon King of the West Sea.

This former Dragon God, who was in charge of the eight rivers and in charge of rain, violated the Jade Emperor's will by causing the wrong wind and rain and reducing the amount of rain. Finally, he was ordered by the Heavenly Court to be beheaded in his dream by Wei Zheng, an official in the Human Court.

But the question is, isn’t the Dragon King of Jinghe the brother-in-law of Ao Shun?
Xiaobailong's father is Ao Run, the former Dragon King of the West Sea.

Ao Lie saw the confusion in his eldest brother's eyes and quickly explained, "My aunt and the Four Sea Dragon Kings are cousins."

Sun Wukong asked, "If that's the case, why didn't you show up and persuade the little crocodile to surrender during the Black Water River disaster?"

Ao Lie smiled bitterly and said, "Big Brother, you should know that I once tried to rescue Master in Baoxiang Country, but was defeated by Kuimu Lang. After that, I realized my duty on the journey west."

Chi Ran added, "And my ninth brother has always been close to the North Sea Dragon Clan. After my father died, he and mother were taken to the North Sea."

Ao Lie nodded: "Luo Jie and I are not close. Even if I show up, he won't listen to me."

After hearing this, Sun Wukong became really interested.

North Sea?

It’s Ao Shun, the Dragon King of the North Sea again!

Wukong had an idea in mind, so he said to Chi Ran, "Your father's rain was off the time and wrong in the number of hours. Compared with the evil monsters who committed many evil deeds on the journey to the west, his crime does not seem to be a big one.

But his real problem was that he disobeyed the Jade Emperor's will.

This is the greatest sin for the strict laws of Heaven, and beheading is not unjust."

Chi Ran was anxious and said quickly, "That's not the case, Fighting Buddha..."

At this time, Sun Wukong noticed that there seemed to be someone's gaze directed towards him from inside the Water Curtain Cave.

He immediately interrupted Chi Ran and said, "Call me the Great Sage Equaling Heaven!"

At the same time, an idea came into his mind, and he used the spatial magical power he had just mastered, the Fangcun Tiandi, to cover the nearby space.

Ao Lie and Chi Ran did not notice all this.

Chi Ran paused for a moment before saying, "Yes... Great Sage, my father did make a big mistake in the heat of the moment, but fundamentally, all of this was planned!"

"Oh? Tell me about it." Sun Wukong's eyes flashed with a golden light. "Big Brother, let me tell you about this." Ao Lie's expression showed some anger. "I once went to the Heavenly Palace with my uncle to attend the Peach Banquet, but I didn't expect to offend the Wood Virtue Star Lord.

Because he asked me to go to the Imperial Stables to mate with those celestial horses, and I was young and hot-headed at the time, not only did I refuse on the spot, I also said some unpleasant words, which made him lose face in front of all the immortals.

If my uncle hadn't tried his best to protect me, I would have been caught at that time.

After the Peach Banquet, the Wood Deity even threatened us that he would not let us go and told us to wait and see.

Later it came true.

I simply set fire to the pearls in the palace, but my cruel father reported me to the Heavenly Court. The Five Emperors ordered that I be hung in the air and executed soon.

Fortunately, I was rescued by Guanyin Bodhisattva and was able to survive. I also became my master's mount and traveled west to Lingshan together.

As for my uncle's fate, Senior Brother also knows it clearly."

Sun Wukong listened carefully, and when he heard about the Imperial Stables, he was not surprised, because the Imperial Stables were indeed under the jurisdiction of the Wood Deity.

When he first went to take up his post at the Imperial Stables, it was the God of Wood who sent him there.

And if Ao Lie offended the other party, he would definitely not end up well.

Because the God of Wood is not only a powerful figure in the Heavenly Court, but also the boy Man Qian beside the Emperor Donghua, whose common name is Dongfang Shuo.

"Is this little thief who stole the peaches so cruel?" Sun Wukong scratched his face thoughtfully.

Speaking of stealing peaches, Dongfang Shuo had sneaked into the Peach Garden three times and stolen the peaches from the Queen Mother of the West before he took over the garden, but nothing happened to him in the end. This shows how powerful his backing was.

In comparison, Xiaobailong's uncle, the Dragon King of Jinghe River, is far inferior.

As for the identity of the Third Prince of the West Sea Dragon, it is a world of difference compared to that of the Wood Deity Star Lord.

Thinking of this, Sun Wukong's heart moved again. He noticed that when the former West Sea Dragon King Ao Run was mentioned just now, Ao Lie's expression changed a little, as if he had something to hide.

But since Ao Lie didn't say anything, he wouldn't take the initiative to ask.

Looking at the two pairs of expectant eyes, Sun Wukong did not easily agree to the promise and continued, "Little White Dragon, you don't have any solid evidence. You can't just assume that it was the Wood Virtue Star Lord who harmed you and the Jinghe Dragon King based on the harsh words he said casually.

We must base our words and deeds on evidence.”

Before Ao Lie could say anything, Chi Ran hurriedly said, "Great Sage, I have evidence!"

Sun Wukong glared and scolded, "If you have evidence, just show it out. Why are you hiding it?"

Chi Ran gritted his teeth and said, "Great Sage, this is what happened. This matter started with a bet made fourteen years ago.

At the beginning of that year, the aquatic creatures in our Jing River were repeatedly caught by fishermen, causing considerable losses.

Later, I found out that it was a fortune teller named Yuan Shoucheng from Chang'an City..."

"Mr. Divine Lesson?" Sun Wukong interrupted Chi Ran's words. He thought of his previous discovery in Fangcun Mountain.

"Yes, it's this damn fortune teller!" Chi Ran suppressed his anger and continued, "He tells the fisherman where to cast his nets every day, and his reward is a golden carp.

Great Sage, you don’t know that although carp are aquatic creatures, they have a connection with our dragon clan. If they can jump over the Dragon Gate, they can transform into dragons and become a member of the dragon clan. Golden carp in particular have a greater chance of jumping over the Dragon Gate.

When my father learned of this, he was furious and wanted to go directly to Chang'an to chop off the man's head. Later, the people of the Dragon Palace dissuaded him, and he decided to go to Chang'an City to investigate in detail."

Sun Wukong nodded. No wonder the Dragon King of Jinghe River was angry. This was a business that would end his family lineage.

However, are the Mr. Divine Lesson here, Yuan Shoucheng, and the Mr. Divine Lesson written on a page of the Shadow God Picture that Lan Cai accidentally leaked the same person?
If they are the same person, then what is the relationship between Yuan Shoucheng and Lan Cai?
