Chapter 7 Riding a bicycle to learn the scriptures
Tang Seng's eyes suddenly straightened, and he looked at the mountain bike that had turned into a normal size after falling to the ground.
“...... Holy!"
After a long time, Tang Seng couldn't help but burst into foul language: "You even have a bicycle?"
It would be fine if the bronze treasure chest opened a bicycle, but now it is a silver treasure chest, and there is a bicycle, what is this?
"Does this bike have special effects?"
Thinking so, Tang Seng put away the system panel, picked up the bicycle and lifted his legs to ride on.
With a light pedal press, the bike rushed out.
Although it's a trail, it's fairly flat and it may not be possible to drive a motorbike, but it's enough for a bike.
If you have good driving skills, you can even step on it and fly.
Tang Seng tried for more than ten minutes, but found that the bicycle had no special effects except for being effortless to pedal and shockproof.
This seems to be an ordinary tech bike.
But don't really say it, the quality of this mountain bike is very good, if it was in the previous life, it would never be possible to buy it without four or five thousand yuan.
"By the way, it's not foul to ride a bike, right?"
Tang Seng slowed down the speed of the bicycle, called out the system panel, and suddenly found that as the bicycle slowly moved forward, the effective number of steps also slowly increased.
"Yes, if you can ride a horse, why can't you ride a bicycle?"
Tang Seng was excited, if you count it in this way, this bicycle is not a useless thing.
So for the next journey, Tang Seng rode a bicycle on the mountain and forest paths.
From time to time, he encountered corners, and he also played under the bicycle drift.
With his strength now about twice that of an average adult, he can pedal the bike even on a not too steep uphill slope.
However, it is impossible to go all the way to the west, and many places are rugged and steep, not to mention bicycles, even people, it is difficult to walk.
When encountering this kind of place, Tang Seng can only put his bicycle into the system space and climb on foot.
There are also thorny places where you can't ride a bike.
It wasn't until he had passed these places that he took out his bike again and hit the road.
In the evening, Tang Seng rushed to a river.
The river is so shallow that you can see the bottom of the river even as far as the eye can see, and it is estimated that no one will drown at all.
However, the river is very wide, and the water and the sky meet.
Tang Seng recalled the story of the Journey to the West that he had seen in his previous life: "This river should be the Five Barrages, right?
If this river is really a five-barrage river, then the other side of the river is Wuzhi Mountain.
In other words, Sun Wukong is on the other side?
Tang Seng was worried and excited, Monkey King was going to become his apprentice.
He retracted his bicycle as a system space and then looked for a way to cross the river.
Soon, he saw a raft on the bank of the river.
The raft should have been abandoned for a long time, and it was almost soaked, and it is estimated that it was also improvised by the predecessors to cross the river.
Tang Seng tried it and was sure that the raft would not fall apart easily, so he pushed it into the river, and deliberately found a tree trunk with a thick arm to use as an oar, and then jumped on the raft.
It is worth mentioning that, perhaps due to the topography, these five barrages flow westward.
In other words, there is no need to paddle at all, just let the raft go down the river.
Tang Seng only needed to change the direction of the raft with a wooden stick from time to time.
"By the way, is there an effective number of steps on the boat?"
Suddenly, Tang Seng became worried, hurriedly opened the system panel, and only when he found that the effective number of steps was still slowly increasing, he was relieved.
This makes sense, after all, this is a river, so you can't swim through it yourself.
In the story of Journey to the West, there is such a saying, you can't fly, you have to walk through it step by step in a down-to-earth way, and you have to go through nine hundred and eighty-one difficulties before you can get the true scriptures!
However, since you can ride a horse or a bicycle, it shouldn't be a foul to ride a boat.
Sitting on the raft, watching the sunset gradually set, the sky getting darker and darker, and Tang Seng paid more attention to the system panel, and his heart was a little excited.
Because today's effective number of steps is close to 10,000.
"Nine thousand nine hundred and thirteen, nine thousand nine hundred and fourteen, nine thousand nine hundred and fifteen...... Nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-one ......"
Tang Seng has definitely walked far more than 100,000 steps today, but unfortunately, the number of effective steps is not much, and I don't know how the system calculates.
Could it be that the system draws a straight line between Datang and West Tianling Mountain, and you must walk on this straight line to count as an effective number of steps?
Finally—
10,000 steps to achieve!
Tang Seng hurriedly opened the pedometer sub-page, and at the 10,000 steps pointed by the pointer, he saw that the golden treasure chest of "10,000 steps" had been lit up.
He couldn't wait to claim the treasure chest, and then chose to open it.
This is the first gold treasure chest he has received, since it is a gold treasure chest, the level is higher than the silver treasure chest, theoretically it should be able to open something better, right?
But don't be careless, pray.
"If the Jade Emperor comes to the Buddha Guanyin Bodhisattva blessed, he must open a good thing!"
Tang Seng prayed silently in his heart, very pious.
In a very dazzling divine light effect, the golden treasure chest is opened.
"Ding, to get a chance to strengthen a skill, the host can choose a skill enhancement, after strengthening, the power of the skill will be stronger. ”
The voice of the system sounded in Tang Seng's mind.
"Skill enhancement?"
Although he failed to open a powerful immortal cultivation technique or a powerful treasure, this skill enhancement does not seem to be bad, and it can greatly increase the power of the skill.
Tang Seng thought about it, and now he has two skills, one is the good guy spell, and the other is the fireball technique.
The fireball technique is the main attack, mainly against the enemy.
But the good guy spell can turn the enemy into a good guy, and the good guy is easy to bully...... Ahh
So Tang Seng did not hesitate to choose a good spell.
As the selection was completed, a golden light sank into Tang Seng's mind, and a large amount of information poured into his mind.
Suddenly, Tang Seng felt that his understanding of the spells of good people had been greatly deepened, and a lot of information had been extended.
"Wait...... In the past, when the good guy's spell was cast, it consumed a lot, and if the power is increased, will it consume even more?"
As soon as he finished choosing, Tang Seng became worried.
However, as his skills leveled up, this worry gradually disappeared, and it was not what he imagined.
Because the upgraded good guy spell can exert more power under the same consumption, and it can be cast faster and more stealthily.
It's a pity that there are no targets to experiment with now, and I don't know the exact effect.
......
Approaching the middle of the night, General Li Sheng finally led his army to the Wubari River.
Although because of the large number of people and the need to carry supplies, the speed of the journey will be affected, but this Tang army has obviously experienced war, and it does not drag mud and water during the march.
The main thing is that this is a very professional army, which, although there are no hounds, is still able to track targets.
Last night, there was no trace of Tang Seng in the Tiger Forest, so Li Sheng chased after him with his army.
"How can he be so fast, and even if he does know sorcery, he can't be faster than us, right?"
Li Sheng felt incredible, he and the others were almost in full speed this day, but they couldn't catch up with Tang Seng.
If he hadn't been able to find the traces left by Tang Seng along the way, he would have doubted whether Tang Seng was really in front.
After coming to the Wubara River, General Li Sheng looked at the wide river in front of him, frowned slightly, and then ordered loudly: "Make a raft immediately, in addition, send a team of people to hunt, prepare supplies, and be sure to prepare for a long-term march!"
"Yes, General!"
The soldiers under him immediately went to do it.
And Li Sheng looked at the river in front of him, his eyes were gloomy: "Xuanzang, I know your identity and origin, even if you really know how to spell, but your body is mortal after all, I don't believe that you can run faster than my army!"
