I rode on the Roaring Heaven Hound, chasing mountains and pursuing the sun.

We passed through collapsing dynasties, decadent mountain villages, and mad towns.

We stopped by the shore of the Western Sea to rest, where the crimson seawater had long turned silent, devoid of waves.

Crowds of people were marching in formation towards the deep sea.

They crazily beat drums, playing flutes with subtle, monotonous, blasphemous tones, and danced slowly, clumsily, and absurdly.

They shouted loudly, "Everything has cause and effect, all things undergo reincarnation, praise the ultimate ancestral god!"

My father winked and gestured in a clay jar, saying, "Look at the true scriptures brought back by Tang Sanzang. He has driven everyone in the world into madness."

The Roaring Heaven Hound said, "Who would have thought that the Tathagata is not the Tathagata?"

I asked, "Then what exactly is the Tathagata?"

No one answered; no one knew what the Tathagata was.

Suddenly, my father exclaimed, "It's Guiying! How is she here?"

I saw a woman in the crowd with a ferocious face and roaring voice. She was my father's second wife.

When my mother was suppressed in Huashan, my father married the daughter of the Prime Minister, Wang Guiying. They even had a child named Liu Qiuer.

Saliva suddenly flowed from my lips.

"Chen Xiang, quickly save your aunt!"

I remained indifferent.

In the next moment, a white dragon rose from the sea of blood. With its crimson, elongated tongue, it swallowed those people.

"Guiying!!!" My father was filled with indescribable sorrow, but I burst into laughter.

The white dragon transformed into a woman and stood in front of me.

The Roaring Heaven Hound immediately jumped with joy, exclaiming, "It's the mistress! Master, look, it's the mistress!"

I knew her name was Ao Cunxin, and she had once been betrothed to my uncle.

"Chen Xiang, have you paid respects to Sun Wukong as your teacher?"

"Yes."

"Then you must make amends."

As Ao Cunxin spoke, she attempted to kill me.

Because on my master's back lay the bones of her entire family.
