Chapter 1992: Carrying Across the Tongtian River, The Old Turtle

"I know this high monk must be Master Xuanzang from the Great Tang of the East, heading to the Western Heaven to obtain the Western Scriptures." The old turtle said in an unhurried tone, "I came here specifically to carry you across this Tongtian River."

When Marshal Tianpeng heard this, he was immediately happy and said, "Then you have come at just the right time. We were just worrying about how to cross this great river."

The old turtle smiled slightly, then glanced at Sun Wukong, and said in a rather cautious tone, "This is not difficult at all, but I have a small request. I wonder..."

Sun Wukong looked at it and said straightforwardly, "Speak your mind."

The old turtle carefully weighed its tone, then looked at Sun Wukong and said, "Since I was born until this year, I have lived for more than thirteen thousand years, but I can only speak human words and have never been able to cultivate and attain the right fruit."

"If it weren't for this, my cave dwelling wouldn't have been taken away by that Inspiration King. Now that you are all going to the Western Heaven with the Gao Seng Tang to seek the true scriptures, I want to entrust you to help me with one thing. If you see the Buddha when you reach the Western Heaven, can you help me ask why I, an old turtle, have cultivated for so many years but still cannot attain the right fruit?"

After the old turtle finished speaking, it stared fixedly at Sun Wukong.

It seemed to care very much about Sun Wukong's attitude. Clearly, it knew of Sun Wukong's fame. Five hundred years ago, Sun Wukong caused havoc in the Heavenly Palace, and his fame had long since spread throughout the Three Realms.

"Pah, I thought it was something major. It's just this little thing. When we see the Buddha, we will definitely ask for you."

Marshal Tianpeng said in a carefree manner, very easily.

Sun Wukong also nodded at this time and said, "No problem, I will ask this for you."

When the old turtle heard this, the smile on its face slowly spread. It turned its body, backed up, and slowly swam to the riverbank, saying, "Then, please come up, everyone. I will definitely send you all safely to the other side."

Tang Sanzang looked at the turtle shell, which was a bulging hemisphere. He felt that it would be difficult for him to stand on it, let alone with the White Dragon Horse beside him.

Yet, while Tang Sanzang was still hesitating, the White Dragon Horse had already raised its hooves and stepped gently onto the old turtle's back, looking extremely calm, and looked back at Tang Sanzang and the others.

Marshal Tianpeng and General Wujing looked at each other and also got on the turtle shell. Fahai looked at Tang Sanzang, reached out his hand to support him, and then they got on the turtle shell.

Finally, the six travelers to the West all got on the turtle's back. This turtle shell was surprisingly wide; the five people and one horse standing on it did not feel crowded at all.

The old turtle began to paddle with its four feet, raised its head to look forward, and began to paddle toward the other side.

"Haha, I thought we would have to endure a night of ice and snow here. I didn't expect the old turtle to appear at this time. Heaven truly does not cut off all paths."

Marshal Tianpeng sat on the turtle shell and said very happily.

"Gao Seng Tang, and all the Immortals, when you reach the Western Heaven, please be sure to remember my request."

The old turtle raised its head, its two large eyeballs rolled twice, and it said very seriously.

"Rest assured, the matter I, Old Sun, promised you, I will definitely not forget."

Sun Wukong said immediately.

At the same time, Sun Wukong also frowned, thinking to himself, what kind of demon is this Inspiration King, to bully such an old turtle without magic power and even occupy its residence? ===== CHAPTER 1994 =====
