Chapter 54: I am not the Three Thousand Dao Master!
Xiaotian Dog glanced at King Rhino and then at the bald man in the distance, then chuckled, "Green Ox, stop fooling around. I'm no match for you... You are the mount of Lord Laozi!"
Back when I first left the mountain with my second master, Lord Laozi was already the Sect Hierarch of the human teachings.
At that time, when Lord Laozi rode you, oh how glorious you were."
Tang Sanzang asked, "He's older than you are?"
Xiaotian Dog hurriedly said, "Older, definitely older! Much, much older! Comparing me to him...
Oh my...
I'm not even qualified to compare with him!
In the ancient Demon Heavenly Court, among the eight great generals under Donghuang Taiyi, General Golden Helmet was none other than him.
Back then, during the great witch-demon war, many sub-saints and ancient gods fell, heaven and earth collapsed, and all the heavens shattered into pieces.
Most people died, but he survived!
Not only did he survive, but he also clung to the thighs of the first saint, Supreme Lord Laozi.
So much time has passed since then, I bet he can't even count the years himself.
Monk, think about it, Lord Laozi is the number one saint in the world!
Frankly speaking, he is the foremost person under Heavenly Dao!
With such stature, could his daily diet be poor? Even if he casually threw away some leftovers, wouldn't those be better than the minor peaches I've been eating for eighteen hundred years?
Moreover, he is a bona fide, pure-blooded demon race general.
The demon race are masters of body cultivation; how could this little mutt of mine compare?
So, speaking of meat quality... well... you know."
Hearing this, Tang Sanzang's eyes shone brightly, and he drooled uncontrollably!
King Rhino turned and broke into a run!
Boom!
A figure, dragging a trail of soil and debris, instantly caught up with King Rhino, blocking the entrance to the cave!
As for the Mountain Protection Array at the entrance, it was shattered by the figure in an instant, from beginning to end not stopping the figure even a single step—as if it never existed!
King Rhino, in a dash, almost ran into the figure, then abruptly looked up to see the gleaming bald head!
"Little Green Ox, where are you rushing off to? Don't hurry away. Shall we go over there and chat?" Tang Sanzang said, glancing at the big black pot and chuckling.
King Rhino's forehead was slick with cold sweat as he swallowed and said, "Uh... I didn't have time to collect my clothes when I came out, and it's going to rain... See, haha... could you wait for me? Hey, hey, hey, don't get physical!"
Tang Sanzang directly grabbed King Rhino by the horn and pulled him towards the iron pot, regardless of how hard King Rhino struggled, his giant feet causing the ground to tremble, still unable to break free from Tang Sanzang's grip.
"Tang Sanzang, don't be too outrageous! After all, I am Lord Laozi's mount, and even when you beat a dog, you must respect its owner!" King Rhino shouted.
Xiaotian Dog quickly shouted, "He didn't respect my owner when he trapped me! Monk, don't listen to him, go ahead and eat!"
King Rhino furiously said, "Tang Sanzang, when in the world did a dog not eat shit? If you find it dirty, why don't you just twist your head off and throw it away, huh?"
Tang Sanzang paused, touched his chin, and said, "You've got a point!"
Xiaotian Dog's fur immediately bristled, and he exclaimed, "No point, where's the point? I... I even like rolling in the dung pit!"
"Just skinning will solve it!" King Rhino promptly shouted.
Xiaotian Dog angrily retorted, "Dead ox, can't you do something human?"
King Rhino replied, "I'm just a cow, what human thing can I do! If it wasn't for you, would I even have been caught? At least I could have struggled a bit!"
"If it wasn't for you, would I have come here?" Xiaotian Dog barked back.
"Who asked you to burn my cowshed?"
"Who told you to call me black?"
"You are black!"
"That doesn't mean you can say it!"
"All right, stop arguing," Tang Sanzang urged.
King Si shouted, "We haven't finished shouting yet!"
He was trying to delay as much as possible...
Xiaotian Dog also shouted, "Right, we haven't finished!"
This damn dog's thought was to stir the pot when possible, never stirring himself into it.
However, Tang Sanzang, hearing this, became a bit unhappy, glanced at the Green Ox he was holding, then at the standing crowd and the black dog cursing like a fishwife, raised his eyebrows, and said, "Since you two haven't finished arguing, that's simple..."
Bang bang!
Splash...
With two splashes, the Green Ox and Xiaotian Dog were both thrown into the pot.
Tang Sanzang clapped his hands and said, "Okay, you two can continue arguing in the pot. If you feel you're not done, you can keep at it on the road to the Yellow Springs... Wujing, turn up the heat, I want to eat river snail steak soon."
"Yes, Master!" Sha Wujing hurried to stoke the fire.
In the iron pot, the Green Ox and Xiaotian Dog looked at each other, opened their mouths, but ultimately didn't start cursing.
Xiaotian Dog transmitted a message, "Happy now, dead cow? Both of us ended up in the pot!"
King Si grunted, "Being stewed with you doesn't make me happy at all."
Xiaotian Dog's eyes rolled wildly, "I don't want to die..."
King Si also said, "I don't want to die either."
Xiaotian Dog said, "How about we team up?"
King Si frowned, "It's not that I look down on you, but having you is just a burden."
"I spit on your face! Didn't you bring any treasures from heaven?" asked Xiaotian Dog.
King Si said, "There is one treasure, but it's only good for trapping people. For alive people, it's not very useful. Back when fighting the Monkey, it took three hits... attacking him, I'm likely to tire out before he faints."
Xiaotian Dog's eyes suddenly lit up. "Isn't that what we rely on out here, treasures? If you snatch his treasure, with both of us being body cultivators, why should we be afraid of him?"
As soon as he said this, Xiaotian Dog felt a bit guilty.
He remembered the scene where that bald guy smacked his dog mouth with just his hand, and he couldn't move at all.
King Si said, "I'm actually afraid..."
Xiaotian Dog said, "What's his background?"
Hearing this, Tang Sanzang's ears twitched, clearly eavesdropping.
King Si said with a bitter smile, "Well... I'm not entirely sure about his origin either. I only heard from Laojun that when heaven and earth were divided, the Three Thousand Great Dao evolved, and each Dao evolved into a Demon God, each ruling over their aspect of the Dao."
"Is he one of them?" Xiaotian Dog immediately asked.
King Si shook his head with a bitter smile, "I asked Laojun the same thing, but he just shook his head and said nothing. In the era I lived, he was already there, with his long hair fluttering, known as the unparalleled great scourge of the Three Thousand Great Worlds. He went wherever he wanted, disliking everyone he saw...
Moreover, he would absolutely provoke rather than fight, driving the opponent mad, only fighting back when they attacked him first.
From what I know, nobody who fought him ever won."
Hearing this, Xiaotian Dog clicked his tongue, "He defeated everyone?"
King Si shook his head, "I've never heard of anyone who has won... They usually suffer a great loss."
Xiaotian Dog then asked, "We're from the same era, but why do I feel like you don't know much about him?"
