"Are you here by chance? It seems that Brother Shen has nothing to do, so he came to wander around the abyss of the East China Sea?" Manjushri Bodhisattva did not seem to like Shen Luo very much, and spoke offensive words as soon as he opened his mouth.
"This is not an owned place. What's wrong with me coming here to stroll around? Aren't you all here too?" Shen Luo replied slowly.
Manjushri Bodhisattva's tone paused, his expression did not change, but there was a hint of annoyance in his eyes.
"We are all from the same path. We have so many enemies right now. Why bother arguing over such a small matter?" When Sun Wukong saw Manjushri Bodhisattva being bullied, a smile flashed across his lips, but he immediately put away his smile and tried to smooth things over.
"Amitabha, Fellow Daoist Shen is a person of the right path. Manjushri, you must not tell lies." Samantabhadra Bodhisattva said while chanting the Buddha's name in a low voice.
When Manjushri Bodhisattva saw that Sun Wukong and Samantabhadra Bodhisattva had spoken, he nodded without comment and said nothing more.
"My face shouldn't be so disgusting, right?" Shen Luo was quite puzzled about Manjushri Bodhisattva's attitude.
"Fellow Daoist Shen, you came here to hunt for treasure. It is fate that we meet here. You must know that there are many monsters gathered in the abyss of the East China Sea. How about we travel together?" Sun Wukong suggested.
As soon as these words came out, Shen Luo's expression changed slightly, and Manjushri and Samantabhadra Bodhisattvas looked at each other.
Xiaobailong glanced at Sun Wukong and Shen Luo and said nothing.
"Fighting and Victory Buddha, you haven't forgotten why we are here today, have you? How can we allow an outsider to accompany us?" Manjushri Bodhisattva said indifferently.
"Of course I haven't forgotten that incident, but the situation is very complicated now. Not only have people from the Demon Clan come here, but Black Wukong and Fox Ancestor have also come here. If they join forces, how can the four of us be able to defeat them?" said Sun Wukong.
"What! Black Goku is also here, are you sure?" Samantabhadra Bodhisattva was slightly startled and looked around and said.
Manjushri Bodhisattva and Little White Dragon were also quite surprised.
"Black Wukong?" Shen Luo's eyes moved. Could it be that Sun Wukong was talking about the Ape Ancestor
"I sensed their residual aura on Fellow Daoist Shen. Who did Fellow Daoist Shen fight with before?" Sun Wukong turned to Shen Luo.
"Not long ago, I did fight with the fox ancestor of the Qingqiu clan and a black ape demon who could wield a huge club. However, that black ape demon called himself the Ape Ancestor, not the Black Wukong." Shen Luo said truthfully without hesitation.
Upon hearing this, Manjushri Bodhisattva and others lowered their heads and remained silent.
"Ape Ancestor? That guy is really shameless, he is the Black Wukong." Sun Wukong sneered.
"Who is Black Wukong? From the name he sounds like he has some relationship with you?" Shen Luo asked after a moment of hesitation.
"I will explain this matter to Brother Shen later. If Manjushri Bodhisattva still feels that he can deal with these enemies, I have nothing to say." Sun Wukong said to Shen Luo, and then looked at Manjushri Bodhisattva.
"Two Bodhisattvas, there is some truth in what the eldest brother said. If we are defeated by those monsters, not only will our lives be in danger, but that thing will also fall into the monsters' hands. Fellow Daoist Shen is an honored guest of the Tang government. I have fought hand in hand with him in Yunmengze. He has an upright character and is by no means a bad person. You two can rest assured about this." The little white dragon, who had been silent all this time, interrupted.
