Tang Sanzang, on the other hand, started with one horse and had to go to the West to learn scriptures, and passed through countless places with monsters and ghosts.
Although it was extremely dangerous, Tang Sanzang was not afraid.
He carefully inspected the white horse and said, "This journey to the west to seek Buddhist scriptures is a long and long journey. You are the only one who can accompany me through these long years."
How long does it take to travel ten thousand miles?
One year, or ten years?
Or longer?
Tang Sanzang didn't know, he only knew that this time was very difficult, and it was hard to say whether he could successfully reach Xitianling Mountain.
"Sanzang, remember to get the scripture back." Li Er warned.
In fact.
The scriptures are still very good, but when many people preach the doctrine, the process is not satisfactory.
Even if it is not used, the Tang Dynasty Royal Family can still keep it.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Tang Sanzang nodded, "In this case, the poor monk will leave here and try to come back as soon as possible."
"No, Sanzang, you don't have to rush like this. Your own safety is more important. In short, be careful."
Li Er said again: "You have to know that the journey here is far away, thousands of miles, and there are countless monsters and ghosts on it. I don't want to hear the news that you were eaten."
"yes."
Tang Sanzang hesitated, but finally agreed. He knew that Li Er was right.
Nothing can happen to you.
Only if you are alive can you have hope, otherwise everything will be lost and everything will be fine.
At that time, it will become impossible to obtain Buddhist scriptures from the West, and it absolutely cannot be done like this.
Tang Sanzang was about to take a step forward, but turned around and asked, "Your Majesty, is there anything else you would like to advise?"
He was afraid that Li Er had other ideas and did not explain them, so he gave them clear instructions.
"Gone."
Li Er shook his head, "Everything that needs to be explained has been explained. From now on, when you go west, you can only rely on yourself for everything."
"The poor monk knows."
Tang Sanzang nodded, but he had mixed feelings, "Your Majesty, stay here, this poor monk will leave now."
It's a long way to go, and we don't know when we will be able to come back?
"I'm afraid I won't be able to come back for a long time."
Tang Sanzang thought in his heart, "I must go to the West to learn Buddhist scriptures."
This was also something he had no choice about. Guanyin Bodhisattva personally called him by name and asked him to go get the sutra.
He couldn't refuse.
Can't refuse either.
Of course.
For Tang Sanzang, he also liked to go to get Buddhist scriptures.
"Go ahead."
Li Er said: "I will watch you from a distance here until I can't see you anymore. After all, we are sworn brothers.
Tripitaka, you remember.
I am here in Chang'an City, waiting for you to come back, and don't be greedy for other power and benefits."
"Your Majesty, the poor monk has left."
From afar, Tang Sanzang's voice came.
This time he really left.
I don't dare to stay anymore.
It's almost time.
It took Tang Sanzang a lot of time just to get out of Chang'an City. He was riding on a white horse and carrying some changes of clothes and scriptures in his package.
There is also a purple gold alms bowl.
On this trip to the west, he was alone until he left Liangjie Mountain.
He was actually very scared too.
But there is no other way.
"I hope Bodhisattva can bless me and have a safe journey."
Tang Sanzang actually heard a lot about monsters and monsters.
He also once inquired that there are not only immortals, demons, gods and Buddhas in this world, but also many demons, ghosts and the like.
Especially monsters.
Their existence is a scourge, and they only eat humans.
He doesn't taste good.
Along the way.
Tang Sanzang did not dare to travel day and night. He just traveled during the day and found a place to stay at night.
When there are people, stay overnight, and when there are no people, go to some sheltered places to stay for one night.
Actually.
Tang Sanzang was unlucky.
Most places are actually sparsely populated places.
It looks weird.
Fortunately, when we were in Datang, it was relatively peaceful here.
I don’t know if it’s because there are more people who subjugate demons, or because this is the place under the Sanqing Taoism.
After all, being located in Nanzhanbu Continent, there are originally many fewer monsters.
This is also normal.
but.
No matter it is day or night, there are actually wild beasts in the Tang Dynasty.
This still scared Tang Sanzang quite a bit.
I almost cried.
Fortunately, he was able to turn disaster into good fortune almost every time.
In addition, taking the official route, there is basically no great danger, so for Tang Sanzang, this situation is considered good.
There was finally some peace.
Start with a horse.
He rode towards the west sky.
Along the way.
Because there was a customs clearance document, he was allowed to pass through all the checkpoints without any obstruction.
this moment.
Tang Sanzang fully realized the benefits of a strong country.
He took a deep breath.
I couldn't help but think in my heart: "Sure enough, it is still very difficult to learn the scriptures. I was right not to ask His Majesty to send someone to send me away.
Otherwise, it will harm others."
That absolutely won't work.
Tang Sanzang was a monk, so how could he harm others?
Along the way.
In fact, it was still very difficult. Sometimes he couldn't find a place to practice food or wild fruits, so he could only eat dry food.
When we went further, we finished eating all the dry food.
Can only starve.
Even if I am hungry, I can only endure it alone.
"It turns out that it is so difficult to go to the West to worship Buddha and seek scriptures."
Tang Sanzang secretly said: "The Bodhisattva once said that we are one hundred and eight thousand miles away from the Great Leiyin Temple in Lingshan Mountain in the West, and we will have to go through eighty-one hardships along the way.
But the current situation should not be regarded as a disaster."
Where does hunger count?
In fact.
He felt very painful in his heart.
So sad.
"First read the Buddhist scriptures and do your homework."
Tang Sanzang thought in his mind, "In this way, I should be able to forget about hunger."
Otherwise, how can we get through it?
There is no way to survive it.
Tang Sanzang never imagined that this would be the result.
His heart was actually very turbulent, but he gradually calmed down with the sound of Buddhist scriptures.
…
now.
At Jiang Chi's residence.
Half a month before Tang Sanzang's trip, Jiang Que had already begun to prepare for a breakthrough.
As usual, you need to go through endless pain before you have a chance to break through.
Of course.
This process is very distressing.
"The original power is enough, but the next breakthrough requires continuous refining."
Jiang Que secretly said: "Fortunately, I have refined a lot of source power before. Although there is still a lot to refine now, the skills of this world have further optimized my ninth-level Taoist power. Now I refine it
The speed is much faster.
Although the process of breakthrough is also accompanied by great pain, I still grit my teeth and persevere for the future."
Jiang Que felt that this was his opportunity.
An opportunity for a breakthrough in strength.
so good.
"I just don't know how long this breakthrough will take. I hope it won't be too long."
Jiang Chi thought deeply, "Otherwise, I would have no chance to stop Tang Sanzang from leaving Liangjie Mountain."
According to Jiang Chi's idea, he should at least sit down and have a good talk with Tang Sanzang at Liangjie Mountain.
Such as the future, such as dreams.
Maybe that's possible too.
As for Liu Boqin at Liangjie Mountain, he has nothing to do.
Calculating the distance and time, it would take Tang Sanzang about a few months to set out from Chang'an City to Liangjie Mountain.
Even if you have a horse, you can't ride it all the time. After all, the horse will get tired.
"With Tang Sanzang's personality, he should be able to walk around and raise horses."
After all, this horse is just an ordinary horse, not a magical horse. He also needs to rest and recuperate.
so.
In this case, more time will be needed.
Jiang Chi felt even more happy, "Looking at it this way, we actually have enough time."
A few months is enough.
If it were before, his ninth-grade Taoist power had not been upgraded or taken a step further, so naturally there was no other way.
Now it seems that it should work.
"Since I upgraded my ninth-grade Taoist skills, both the speed of refining and the optimization of cultivation have been greatly improved."
Jiang Que secretly said: "A few months are enough for me to advance from the late stage of the Earthly Immortal Realm to the Great Perfection of the Earthly Immortal Realm."
No.
Maybe it won't take such a long time, after all, it's not a short time.
Jiang Chi suddenly became calm in his heart, and his expression became cold.
"Practice, keep practicing."
At this moment, there seemed to be only one thing in Jiang Chi's heart, and that was to keep practicing.
Only by becoming a real boss can you have a chance.
The boss is the boss.
Invincible existence.
but.
For Jiang Chi, this realm is too far away from him.
Too far away to know the outcome.
so.
He can only keep his feet on the ground.
Thinking calmly, Jiang Chi's eyes were very calm, "A breakthrough cannot be accomplished overnight. I hope that boy Tang Sanzang won't be too fast."
Otherwise, Jiang Qian really has no way to deal with it.
He planned to gain benefits during this journey to the west.
Now it seems.
It should work.
There are all kinds of monsters on the way west, and they probably have all kinds of skills in their hands. When the time comes...
Jiang Qian had already thought about it.
Various strategies have been deduced countless times in his mind.
This time.
He will work hard to collect more original power.
"Let's break through."
Next, the entire Jiang Mansion fell into silence again.
…
And on a certain unknown official road.
Tang Sanzang had a bitter look on his face, "Searching for scriptures is really not a job that humans can do. I feel like I'm about to be dried out."
feeling bad.
The scorching sun was baking the earth, and Tang Sanzang was in trouble and did not dare to ride a horse.
If he continued riding, he felt that the horse might die from exhaustion.
After all, the sun is very big.
It's been a long time since I drank water.
It's not that he doesn't want to, it's that he has no choice.
There were no mountain springs or rivers nearby, and he felt like he was going to die.
My heart felt helpless.
Of course.
It would still be difficult to go to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures, and he was immediately distressed.
It seems that there are still many hardships.
But I have to leave.
He can't just do nothing.
This is not possible.
Tang Sanzang suddenly felt a little strange in his heart.
perhaps.
This is not a good job at all.
Just because of chance, just because I happened to bump into it.
That's why we have this ending.
However, this was not the result that Tang Sanzang wanted.
He originally thought that he would just go through some disasters and then go to the West to learn scriptures.
Now it seems that the situation is probably a little different from what I imagined.
With such a person, how can he continue to learn scriptures?
all in all.
Tang Sanzang felt that the life he was living now was a bitter life.
Although as an eminent Buddhist monk of Jinshan Temple, he must not have such thoughts, he also knew that such thoughts were wrong.
but.
I still feel very depressed.
I still feel bitter, I am afraid this sutra will be difficult to obtain.
I don’t know when I will have to wait until I have a chance to enjoy a good life.
Previously.
During the time of Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty.
Jiang Chi's various analyzes actually had a great influence on Tang Sanzang's thoughts. He was considering whether it was really worthwhile to go to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures.
Or.
At this moment, Tang Sanzang began to think about what benefits it would bring to him and even the entire Tang Dynasty if he went to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures.
These situations were definitely something he didn't expect.
therefore.
Tang Sanzang's heart became a little complicated.
Especially the hardships along the way, can you persevere?
he does not know.
My heart is also in a mess.
Very sad.
If Jiang Que knew that it was because of him that Tang Sanzang had such a big impact, I wonder if he would laugh.
Come to think of it, it should be possible.
Of course, it is also possible to be even more secretly happy.
Tang Sanzang never dreamed that Jiang Chi's so-called analyzes before were actually just analyses.
How much it is the same as reality is hard to say.
It took him several months to walk from Chang'an City to the border of Datang, eating and sleeping in the open air along the way.
If he wasn't afraid of offending the Bodhisattva, he would really want to go back.
Traveling west to obtain scriptures, the journey is extremely long, and you still suffer hardships. But can the scriptures you finally get back really save the world, and can it really save people from the sea of suffering?
