The master and disciple continued to walk westward and arrived at a mountain.

This mountain is called Snake Coil Mountain, and there is a river below it, called Eagle Sorrow Stream.

Wukong saw the aura of a demon on the water surface and was very cautious in his heart.

Suddenly, a cry came from the water, and a white dragon jumped out of the water surface.

The white dragon was very hungry, saw people and a horse on the shore, and pounced towards Tang Sanzang.

Wukong immediately dropped the luggage, hugged his master, and rolled to the side.

The white dragon did not pounce on the people, swallowed the white horse in one bite, and then quickly dived back into the water.

Wukong wanted to chase, but was worried that there was no one to protect his master.

At this moment, several immortals came from the sky.

These immortals came to protect Tang Sanzang.

Wukong asked them to protect the master, and he jumped to the riverbank and shouted loudly.

The white dragon heard the shouting, got very angry, transformed into human form, jumped out of the water, and fought with Wukong.

The two fought for a long time, and the white dragon couldn't defeat Wukong, so he pretended to attack once, then dived back into the water.

Wukong made the golden-hooped staff become long and thick, extended it into the water, and stirred vigorously.

The river water immediately churned up, but the white dragon just hid and refused to come out.

Wukong had no way, so he called out the local earth god and mountain god here, and asked them the reason.

The two minor gods told Wukong that this white dragon was originally the third prince of the West Sea Dragon King.

Because he set fire and burned the bright pearl in the palace, violated the heavenly laws, and the Jade Emperor sentenced him to death.

Guanyin Bodhisattva saved him and arranged him here.

The Bodhisattva let him wait for the scripture seeker coming from the Eastern Land of Great Tang, and in the future, become the scripture seeker's horse.

Wukong heard and said with a smile: This is really a case of not recognizing one's own people.

The Earth God said: This little dragon has a very stubborn personality, I'm afraid he won't believe your words.

If you want him to sincerely obey, it's better to invite Guanyin Bodhisattva to come personally.

Wukong thought it made sense, so he asked a deity to go to the South Sea and invite Guanyin Bodhisattva.

Soon, Guanyin Bodhisattva arrived.

The Bodhisattva stood on a cloud and called out the little white dragon.

The little white dragon saw the Bodhisattva, quickly transformed into human form, and stepped forward to bow.

The Bodhisattva explained the previous events and had him pay respects to the master and senior brother.

Only then did the little white dragon realize that the monk before him was the scripture seeker, and he immediately lowered his head to admit his mistake.

The Bodhisattva then stepped forward again, dipped a willow branch in a little water, gently brushed it over the little white dragon, blew a breath, and shouted "change".

That dragon then turned into a horse with a snow-white body.

The Bodhisattva then ordered to remove the bright pearl under the horse's neck.

This bright pearl is the dragon's symbol, and only by removing it can the transformation be complete.

Next, the Bodhisattva dipped a willow branch in water and sprinkled it on the horse's body.

The horse then grew hair all over its body, just like an ordinary horse.

Tang Seng saw this and hurriedly bowed in gratitude.

Wukong, however, was on the side, thinking about the tight hoop that the Bodhisattva had placed on his head, and complained a few words.

He also said that the road to the Western Heaven is very far, and the master is an ordinary person, not knowing when they will be able to arrive.

The Bodhisattva then comforted him, and also plucked three leaves from the willow branch, blew a breath, and turned them into three hairs, giving them to Wukong.

The Bodhisattva instructed him to use them in times of danger.

Wukong got the treasure and was very happy in his heart, so he said nothing more.

After the Bodhisattva drove away on a cloud, the master and disciple packed their luggage and continued on their journey.

This white dragon horse was originally transformed from a divine dragon and runs very fast.

However, there was no saddle and bridle on the horse's back, so Tang Sanzang rode it not very steadily.

One evening, they stayed in a shrine.

The owner of the shrine was an old man.

The old man saw that the white horse Tang Sanzang rode had no saddle and bridle, so he took out a very good set of saddle and bridle and gave it to Tang Sanzang.

After Tang Sanzang and Wukong bowed and expressed their thanks, the old man then explained that he was the temple god here and had been ordered by Guanyin Bodhisattva to wait here specifically to present the saddle and bridle.

The master and disciple then bowed and thanked the Bodhisattva in the air.

Early the next morning, they rode the horse and headed west.
