Chapter 365: Two Paths to the Scriptures
"Tang Seng walked so fast...... Li Wei muttered to himself.
The players' posts are a bit informative.
Among them, the title of "Gongzhou Three Monsters" is a mistake, because there was no Gongzhou in the Tang Dynasty, and the name of this state was only in the Song Dynasty, and the location was in Weizhou in the Tang Dynasty.
The bigger mistake is that in the original work, Xuanzang met the first group of monsters on the way to learn scriptures in Hezhou Wei, so it should be called the "Three Monsters of Hezhou", Hezhou (now Linxia, Gansu) and Gongzhou's governance Longxi are separated by more than 200 kilometers.
In addition, "Hezhou Wei" is the place name of the Ming Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty did not have such an institution.
In ancient times, there was no Baidu, and it was normal for the author of the Journey to the West to be unfamiliar with the things of the Tang Dynasty.
But modern people don't read books carefully, and they regard Hezhou Wei as a part of Gongzhou, and they shouldn't call the three monsters of Hezhou the three monsters of Gongzhou.
However, Li Wei looked at these "progress posts" on the Internet, and he was not most concerned about Gongzhou.
Qinzhou, Lanzhou, Liangzhou, caravans?
None of this is something in Journey to the West.
It is the route and plot in the historical material of Journey to the West, "The Biography of the Three Tibetan Masters of the Tang Dacien Temple"!
The biography of Master Sanzang is written by two disciples of Xuanzang, which can basically be called first-hand materials.
Fiction complements historical sources, which is of course excellent.
The problem is that they take different routes!
The Silk Road west of Chang'an has three northern, central and southern routes, the middle line taken by Xuanzang in history passed through Lanzhou Jincheng and Liangzhou, and the author of Journey to the West designed the southern route for Tang Seng through Didao and Hezhou.
Then the novel jumps very much, leaving the Tang border directly from Hezhou!
At that time, it was Tuyuhun adjacent to Hezhou, and Tubo to the west or south.
According to this way of writing, Xuanzang has to cross the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau to Tianzhu, and he will definitely not see the terrain such as the quicksand river and the flaming mountain.
The author of the novel should be praised for choosing the shortest route he knows, and we don't have to be serious with him.
If you really want to talk about it, you dare to mention some place names in the hundreds. It shows that the author still has some understanding of geography, which is stronger than the previous poets and miscellaneous writers.
Picking on his thorn is just to prove a more important thing.
It is usually said that the author of "Journey to the West" promotes Buddhism and suppresses Taoism and is a Buddhist.
But judging from this route of learning scriptures, he has not read historical materials such as "The Biography of Master Sanzang", "Master Xuanzang's Behavior", and "Continuation of the Biography of Senior Monks".
Especially the last one, I haven't read such a famous Buddhist book, so I shouldn't be a professional Buddhist.
In fact, the Taoist knowledge embodied in Journey to the West seems to be more than that of Buddhism.
Well, let's not pursue the author's question.
The key is to follow the route designed in the current game, Xuanzang is like in history. With the caravan from Lanzhou to Liangzhou, it will not pass through Hezhou again, and it is small to meet the three strange things in Hezhou, the biggest problem is that you can't see Sun Wukong?
"Shouldn't the system collapse......" Li Wei felt a little empty in his heart.
Qi Hui and other people in the Daomen chased and killed Xuanzang, which had already made Li Wei feel that what he did in Chang'an had changed the plot significantly.
Also, I made a copy of Jiang Liuer by myself. Let Xuanzang solve the two hearts and return to Chen Yi's identity, does it mean that the system will completely erase the fictional components of Journey to the West and make Xuanzang learn from the scriptures in history?
"No, I can't. Gotta get the plot back on track. Li Wei was a little anxious.
Now that most of the fallen men can't be re-summoned, Li Wei calmed himself down a little and used up today's idle copies while brushing up other copies.
I have the main line in my heart. So I didn't look for a new dungeon.,I only hastily picked the five-rank and six-grade bosses in the old dungeon and ate them.。
At 1:10 p.m., Li Wei couldn't wait to enter the main line.
Arrive directly at the second conveyance point of the scripture route, "Famen Temple".
A prompt pops up. The original main plot of Daomen has not changed, but there is one more.
"Kill the Turkic invaders and protect the people of the Tang Dynasty."
"Turkic invasion?" Li Wei was stunned for a moment.
Although the system does not specify the year, most of the current events occur in the third year of Zhenguan in history.
It is generally said that Xuanzang set off in August, and Chang'an was frosted, so it is autumn and winter now.
Historically, in August of the third year of Zhenguan, Li Shimin decided to attack the Turks, in November, the Turks invaded Hexi, and in the first month of the fourth year, Li Jing raided the Khan with 3,000 iron cavalry, which opened the prelude to breaking the Turks.
There is actually a little connection between Xuanzang's westward journey and the Tang Dynasty's extermination of the Turks, that is, the frost disaster.
Without this heavy frost, Xuanzang may not have left Beijing.
The northern nomads were frozen to death in the frost when they were most anxious for food, but they were the weakest.
Xuanzang is really good at picking the time.
While Li Wei was hurrying, he opened the friend bar and asked who was with Xuanzang.
None of the acquaintances of Tianyi's gang were at the scene, including Huo San, who was killed twice and is currently resting in Bianzhou.
However, the friend of the warrior camp, the white horse and silver spear, fought on the front line, and sent back a message: "The Turks are all over the mountains, we can't stop it at all, the NPC officers and soldiers have suffered heavy losses, and Tang Seng and the caravan are surrounded!" ”
"The Turks will kill people when they see them, okay, no, they will also kill the demons when they see them, and now the players and NPCs of the four major camps are fighting against the Turkic soldiers!"
Li Wei was shocked when he heard it, and his brain made up for the iron-blooded scene.
However, a strong desire to fight also welled up.
"Activate the Fire Dragon Transformation Card and go full speed ahead!"
Scattered Turkic cavalry could already be seen on the road.
In terms of individual combat strength, the combat power of the Turkic cavalry was stronger than that of ordinary Tang soldiers, but the number was too small to pose no threat to Li Wei.
But as time went on, there were more and more cavalry on the road, and it was not easy to get around directly.
And seeing the Turkic soldiers chasing and killing and plundering the people, Li Wei couldn't stand it, so he simply killed and left.
The third waypoint, the Great Earthquake Pass.
The fourth teleportation point, Qinzhou Chengji.
The fifth teleportation point, Xiangwu, Weizhou.
Continuous pass.
"My God, Xuanzang's Dharma Protector Garan has been killed by the Turkic soldiers, and one is hung up in each of the six dings and six jia! Xuanzang and the caravan began to retreat! White Horse Silver Gun sent another text message.
"Can't even the gods stop it......" Li Wei sighed twice.
However, those gods should have sent clones to protect Tang Seng, just like Daoxuan still has Nezha by his side, could it be that Nezha himself will guard a monk every day?
There are strong and weak doppelgangers of gods, and it is not surprising that they are killed by mortals.
Like the Fashun monk killed by Li Wei, as the incarnation of Manjushri Bodhisattva, he only has about five grades of strength.
Li Wei sped up and arrived at the sixth teleportation point, Di Dao in Lanzhou, at 1:45.
was about to go north to Jincheng, but he heard a letter from Baima Yingun: "Xuanzang has returned to Jincheng and is safe for the time being, but he can't stop at all, so he decided to make a detour to Hezhou!" ”
Li Wei snorted.
A detour to Rivers State?
I still have to go back to the original book.
Perhaps, if the player's strength is dozens of times stronger, it is really possible to kill all the Turks, so that Xuanzang will not pick up the monkey and go west directly, so that the plot will be subverted.
Now, let's go to the Five Elements Mountain honestly! ——
