Chapter 2 Hunted down by the Tang Army
In the mountain stream, Tang Seng galloped on his horse, looked back from time to time, and vaguely saw the figure of the Tang army.
"Is there a mistake? I'm still chasing ......."
"Didn't you just scold the emperor of the Tang Dynasty? I'm also an emperor, how can I be so stingy......
Tang Seng was indignant, he had already run dozens of kilometers, but the army of the Tang Dynasty was still chasing him, and he had an endless posture.
"After chasing me for so long, the dog emperor must want to cut off my head......"
"If you cut off my head, who will teach you the scriptures?"
"Why bother?!"
"Why bother?!"
After the white horse rushed out of the mountain stream, there was a forest outside, and Tang Seng rode in without hesitation.
There was no way, there were chasing soldiers behind him, and he didn't dare to stop.
Fortunately, he had learned to ride a horse in his previous life, otherwise he would have wrestled so far in one breath.
But at this time, he was already sore, and riding a horse was really not a good experience, far worse than riding a car.
I really don't know how those people in ancient times could stand riding horses every day, the so-called thousands of miles of horses travel thousands of miles a day, can people who ride horses withstand thousands of miles of running?
After entering the woods, because the trees were too dense to run, Tang Seng had to let the horse lower his speed and walk slowly.
Walking and walking, seeing that the woods were getting denser and denser, Tang Seng couldn't help but feel weak in his heart.
"I remember that when the Tang monk in Journey to the West just left the Tang Dynasty, he encountered a forest with a tiger in it, could it be this forest?"
Tang Seng felt a little furious in his heart: "But I shouldn't be so unlucky, right? I even encountered this kind of thing when I crossed over, and it stands to reason that my luck should be super good......"
"Roar!"
Suddenly, a tiger roar rang through the trees.
"Repeatedly......" The white horse was frightened and suddenly stood up with his two front legs off his body.
Tang Seng on horseback was shocked, and subconsciously grabbed everywhere, but the white horse turned around and ran away violently, throwing him down.
"it...... Stop!"
Tang Seng's face changed greatly, holding the reins of the horse with one hand and the burden on the saddle with the other.
As a result, the burden on the saddle was not fixed, and he ripped it off.
So Tang Seng lost the pull of one hand, his body was unbalanced, his face hit a big tree directly, and the reins of the horse in the other hand couldn't be pulled, and the whole person hung on the tree.
"Roaring ......"
The tiger's roar was heard again from the rear, shaking the mountains and forests.
"Tiger......"
Tang Seng screamed, hurriedly jumped down from the tree, and even ran out with a rolling belt, losing his burden and the nine-ring tin staff.
After running for more than ten minutes, the tiger in the rear didn't seem to catch up, and Tang Seng breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's damn bad, there really are tigers here!"
"No, I'll have to take a different path......"
Tang Seng quickly gasped for breath and continued to run out.
As for the baggage and the nine-ring tin staff?
Does it matter if that thing has a life?
"Although my name is Tang Seng, I am not the Tang Seng who doesn't know how to be flexible, I am from the prosperous 21st century!"
Tang Seng was thinking like this, and suddenly saw a group of Tang troops in front of him, and those guys were actually guarding outside the woods.
"He's there, grab him......"
"Kill......"
When the Tang army saw Tang Seng, they immediately shouted excitedly.
"me, you're still chasing me......"
Tang Seng's face changed greatly, and then he turned around and ran.
"Kill!"
"Kill!!"
On the outskirts of the woods, a group of soldiers shouted, but strangely, they didn't really chase Tang Seng.
At the front of the crowd, a soldier asked the commander, "General, wouldn't it be bad for us to scare the holy monk like this?"
When the general heard this, he said with a serious face: "Your Majesty is worried that the holy monk will strike halfway, so he specially ordered us to drive him all the way, and we must drive him out of the territory, so that he will die of the heart of returning halfway, and learn the scriptures seriously." โ
"What if we scare him like this, what if he doesn't come back after he leaves Datang?" the soldier asked again.
"You think too much, he was born in Datang, grew up in Datang, Datang is his home, how can he not come back?"
The general analyzed: "Moreover, with the wisdom of the holy monk, it must be clear that as long as he retrieves the true scriptures, His Majesty will definitely not blame the past, and will reward him greatly." โ
The soldier suddenly realized, and then scratched his head: "The holy monk in the past was not like this, why is this time so weird, even His Majesty dares to scold?"
"Haven't you heard that monks don't drink because of the precepts, but they can't drink, and wine is like poison to them, and the holy monks must have burned their brains because of that glass of wine. The general explained with a serious face.
"I see!"
......
"Didn't catch up?"
Tang Seng ran into the depths of the woods again, and was relieved to make sure that the Tang army had not caught up.
"Tiger Brothers...... No, Brother Tiger, don't be like me, my meat is not delicious, and eating it will not last forever. โ
"I'm just passing by...... Yes, passing by!"
Tang Seng moved lightly, thinking about whether to take a detour.
Suddenly, he thought of the voice that appeared in his head when he just crossed over today: "Yes, I have a system, what am I afraid of?
As Tang Seng's voice fell, a strange panel suddenly appeared in front of him.
It's a translucent panel floating in front of you, and it says:
[Sign-in and pedometer system (our slogan is: Sign in for one day, earn one day, go one more step, earn one more step!)]
[Host: Tang Seng]
[Number of check-in days: 0]
[Effective steps of today's meridian path: 8333]
ใSkill: Noneใ
[Note 1: Every time you sign in, you can get a bronze box; you can only sign in once a day; the check-in system is refreshed in the early morning every day; you can get an additional silver treasure chest for every seven consecutive days of sign-in!]
[Note 2: The pedometer only counts the effective number of steps on the westbound road, once a day, refreshed in the early morning; every 100 steps can get a bronze treasure chest, a 1,000-step silver treasure chest, a 10,000-step gold treasure chest, a 100,000-step diamond treasure chest, and a million-step mystery treasure chest!]
[Note 3: Treasure chests can be opened with skills or items, and the higher the level of the chest, the more valuable the skills or items will be. Bronze chests have the lowest level and mysterious chests have the highest level. ใ
"Check-in pedometer system?!"
Tang Seng was stunned, the things that were very popular in his previous life have all developed into the Journey to the West?
It's just a sign in, and there is even a step count? Take a step to earn a dollar?
"If you don't delay a day, 100,000 steps shouldn't be too difficult, but 1 million steps ...... Is this what a human being can do?"
You know, he rode a horse and ran for dozens of kilometers, only more than 8,000 steps, maybe some corners are not considered effective steps, but only more than 8,000, which is too little.
Tang Seng guessed that perhaps the displacement distance from a straight line to the west could be regarded as an effective number of steps, but he didn't know how this 'step' was calculated?
If you follow the step of a normal adult, it should be about half a meter, could it be that you have only walked a straight line distance of four kilometers in most of the day?
Is it that slow?
"Am I going in the wrong direction?" Tang Seng felt that this was very likely, otherwise there was no reason to only have so many effective steps.
Thinking of this, he had a strange feeling in his heart, this step counting system is actually a compass for himself, right?
It must be like this, right? Otherwise, if it's cloudy, how do you know where the West is?
"By the way, I haven't signed in today, sign one and try it!"
