"The national teacher wants to go west with Master Xuanzang?"

In the evening, in the inner hall of the palace, Li Shimin was very surprised when he heard what Ling Chi said: "Why? ”

"It is a matter of heaven to learn scriptures in the west, and there will be nine hundred and eighty-one difficulties on the way, and Tang Xuanzang alone is afraid that he will not be able to retrieve the true scriptures." Ling Chi said: "Since the world has been stable, I have been idle and moldy, so I simply accompanied Tang Xuanzang to go through this experience, so as to make some contributions to the society of my Tang Dynasty." ”

"The national teacher is my Tang Dynasty, he is really painstaking and lonely, and he has done his best." Li Shimin was very moved: "The national teacher is here, if there is something to do, he will do it, if he can't do it, he also asks the national teacher to put his own safety first." ”

Ling Chi smiled slightly: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I'll be fine." After a pause: "Before leaving, there is something I hope Your Majesty will make plans in advance." ”

"Oh?" Li Shimin's face turned pale: "Please also ask the national teacher to give advice." ”

Ling Chi looked into his eyes and said, "One prince is enough, don't give hope to other princes." After all, His Majesty's experience is not far away, and for the national fortune of the Tang Dynasty, please make plans for your Majesty as soon as possible. ”

Li Shimin's face suddenly clouded and uncertain, he knew that what Ling Chi said was not wrong, when Li Tang Tianxia was defeated, the crown prince Li Jiancheng was almost designated as the successor of the Tang Dynasty, but Li Yuan did not take back his power, so that he saw the hope of replacing him, coupled with the pampering of his subordinates, and Li Jiancheng's suppression, it finally came to the end of the Xuanwumen Change.

Now, his sons are growing up, but there are also some signs of you fighting for me, originally he was still a little hesitant, always feeling that he was young and could take a look at the situation again, but after Ling Chi's advice today, he hesitated for a long time, and finally chose to believe Ling Chi's judgment.

"The national teacher should be the first to drink, and I will be empowered." Li Shimin clenched his fists: "I know what to do." ”

Ling Chi sighed lightly: "Pity the hearts of parents in the world, it's just that the prince is carrying the future national fortune of the Tang Dynasty, and he can't be sloppy." ”

Li Shimin nodded: "I don't know how else the national teacher can teach me?" ”

Ling Chi took out a thick book and said, "This is the statecraft I have summarized, and Your Majesty should be a reference." ”

Li Shimin looked at the book as thick as adobe bricks, took it with both hands, and said: "With such a thick strategy for governing the country, the national teacher has worked hard. ”

Ling Chi smiled faintly: "It's a matter of duty." Dropping these words, Ling Chi got up and left.

Li Shimin sent Ling Chi out of the hall, then returned to the desk and opened this thick book of statecraft, at first it was just a casual flip, but gradually, all Li Shimin's mind was attracted by the content of this book, and nothing else.

Before I knew it, it was dawn.

Li Shimin, who had not slept all night, had bloodshot eyes, but his spirit was very invigorated.

Three days later, Li Shimin sent Tang Xuanzang and Ling Chi to leave the Tang Dynasty and go to the Xitian Da Lei Yin Temple to seek the true scriptures. Before parting, Li Shimin took Ling Chi's hand and said a lot of words, and at the same time gave Tang Xuanzang a Tang Sanzang law name, and pinched up a handful of soil, and said: "I would rather love a twist of soil in my hometown, and I don't love ten thousand taels of gold in my hometown." ”

Tang Sanzang was very moved, and vowed to retrieve the true scriptures and make the Eastern Tang Dynasty a paradise in the world.

Ling Chi listened to the 'hehe' on the sidelines, but finally gave him face, and didn't stand up and raise the bar.

In this way, Ling Chi and Tang Sanzang embarked on the road to the West Heaven to learn scriptures, and Yang Chan had cultivated to the realm of Taiyi Golden Immortal over the years that he had followed Ling Chi, and he had completely possessed the power of self-preservation, so after listening to Ling Chi's plan a few days ago, he returned to Huashan under Ling Chi's persuasion.

Although the two were temporarily separated, Yang Chan got the latest communication device developed by some geniuses in the pasture space in the past few years before leaving, which looks similar to a modern smartphone, which can allow two people to make video calls at a long distance, and it is precisely because of this communication device that Yang Chan agreed to separate, otherwise she would not have agreed.

The two have been together for hundreds of years, although there is no relationship between husband and wife, but the relationship is the same as that of family, just because it is out of place, the two have not determined the relationship for the time being, but Ling Chi has already given Yang Chan a promise that at some point in the future, he will definitely leave with Yang Chan, if not, how could Yang Chan be willing to follow him for five hundred years?

Anyone's efforts are expected to be rewarded, and the efforts that cannot see hope will not last long.

……

Under the protection of Ling Chi, a few days later, Tang Seng had come to the Two Realms Mountain, out of the Two Realms Mountain, and left the territory of the Tang Dynasty, but there were many beasts in the Two Realms Mountain, and the two of them had just come here not long ago, they heard a tiger roar, and the white horse under Tang Seng's crotch was frightened, and almost overturned Tang Seng, but fortunately, Ling Chi appeased the white horse in time, which did not make Tang Seng ugly.

"Thank you, National Teacher." Tang Seng calmed down a little and hurriedly thanked him.

"Elders don't have to be like that." Ling Chi looked at the white-fronted tiger patrolling the mountains and forests not far away, and with a wave of his hand, he put it into the farm and pasture space, and raised it for the time being! Later, I peeled the tiger skin, ate tiger meat, fried tiger whip, and soaked tiger bone wine.

All this happened in an instant, Tang Seng didn't notice it, and thought that the tiger had left, so he continued to go towards the western sky under the guidance of Ling Chi.

When the two of them walked away, a mountain hunter walked out of the dense forest, with a deep doubt in his eyes: "Who is protecting Tang Sanzang?" Why can't you see clearly? ”

Soon after, the hunter turned into a puff of green smoke and disappeared in its place.

A few days later, Ling Chi escorted Tang Seng all the way to the Five Elements Mountain without any danger. Arriving here, Ling Chi stopped and said, "Elder, I can only send you here." ”

Tang Seng suddenly panicked: "What does the national teacher mean by this?" Do you have to leave me? ”

Don't blame him for being flustered, it's really these days, although there are not many big dangers encountered along the way, but there are a lot of small dangers, not to mention anything else, without Ling Chi to follow, Tang Seng is difficult to even eat a full meal, but with Ling Chi, although each meal is simple, but the food is very delicious, obviously learning scriptures from the west is a chore, but in just over a month, Tang Seng found that he had gained a circle, it was really Ling Chi's food was too good, he couldn't control his own mouth!

But what did Ling Chi say just now? Just send him here? So what to do after that?

Seeing that Tang Seng was flustered, Ling Chi said: "Elder don't worry, there is a stone monkey pressed under the Five Elements Mountain in front, the stone monkey is the Monkey King who made a big mistake in Heaven five hundred years ago, in order to atone for his sins, he was pressed by the Buddha under the Five Elements Mountain for five hundred years, and now the five hundred years have expired, but it is necessary for the elders to go to the rescue, and after the rescue, Sun Wukong will escort the elders to the West Heaven to worship the Buddha and ask for scriptures, and it is enough for me to send here." ”

I see.

Tang Seng breathed a sigh of relief, but still frowned, and said, "If that Monkey King doesn't do anything, what should I do?" ”

Ling Chi chuckled: "Everything has its own fixed number, and the elder can rest assured." ”

After saying that, Ling Chi disappeared in place.

"National teacher! National Teacher! Tang Seng was really panicked this time, and shouted a few times for the national teacher, but he didn't get a response, so he could only continue to beat the horse with a sad face.

Soon after, he heard someone call him Master, and when he got closer, it turned out to be a monkey spirit with a thunder mouth under the Five Elements Mountain. Thinking of Ling Chi's words, Tang Seng asked, "Who are you?" Why is it here? ”

"Master, I am the Monkey King of five hundred years ago...... Sun Wukong explained his situation, and then said: "Master, the disciple has been enlightened by Guanyin Bodhisattva, and is waiting here for Master to come. Master, let me out, so that I can protect you from the West. ”

As soon as he heard that Guanyin Bodhisattva was also helping him, Tang Seng finally settled down, and then unveiled the list and rescued Sun Wukong.

After a touching recognition of master and apprentice, Sun Wukong, who had been grinding a lot of wildness for five hundred years, escorted Tang Seng straight to the west sky. It's just that Sun Wukong has been suppressed for 500 years, and it is inevitable that he will be lively and active, and he will not stop flying here and there, which will make Tang Seng so scared.

is also the more afraid of something, the more he is afraid of something, just when Sun Wukong disappeared again, Tang Seng met a tiger again, this tiger saw a white and fat man and a horse, and immediately roared and pounced on Tang Seng.

"Ah——!!h

Tang Seng screamed: My life is over!

At this critical moment, Sun Wukong ran back and killed the tiger with a stick to save Tang Seng.

After that, Sun Wukong casually skinned the tiger and ran to Tang Seng to ask for credit. Although Tang Seng was a little unhappy, Sun Wukong saved his life after all, so he had to endure it, and the master and apprentice continued to move forward.

After they walked away, Ling Chi appeared next to the dead body of the tiger, looked at the skinned tiger, and sighed: "What a waste! ”

Taking the dead tiger into the kitchen god space, Ling Chi decomposed the tiger meat, tiger bones, tiger whip, etc. The aura of this world is abundant, and the quality of the tiger is also higher, and it is completely possible to make purple or even red recipes.

According to Ling Chi's plan, he was going to follow Tang Seng all the way west, but he would not go with Tang Seng, which would expose his identity, so his plan was to follow Tang Seng, and when the calamities encountered by Tang Seng had passed, he would follow behind to pick up ready-made bargains.

This tiger is the first cheap one to pick up, which is very memorable.

"Shuang'er, come and help me fry a tiger whip to eat."

……

Under the protection of Sun Wukong, the master and apprentice stayed in an octogenarian man's house that night, and Tang Seng also used needlework and sewed a tiger skin skirt for Sun Wukong, which made Sun Wukong very happy: "Master, this tiger skin skirt is so beautiful, thank you Master." ”

Seeing that Sun Wukong really looked good in a tiger skin skirt, Tang Seng smiled and said, "That's good." Feeling a tiredness in his body, Tang Seng said: "It's night, sleep!" ”

"Yes, Master."

The master and apprentice were about to sleep, but a group of robbers broke in, ruining their good deeds, Sun Wukong grinned and killed the gang of robbers cleanly, scaring Tang Seng to death.

This...... Someone's killed!

Sun Wukong is not afraid of killing a tiger, after all, the tiger is a beast, if you don't kill it, you will be eaten, but Sun Wukong killed someone, Tang Seng couldn't accept it, and in anger, he scolded Sun Wukong a few words.

What temper does Monkey King have? didn't have the strength to suppress him, he didn't throw anyone, although Tang Seng saved him, but he also killed the tiger, killed the robber and saved him two times, Tang Seng still owes him! So Sun Wu 'drank' a few times, and drove the cloud away, not caring whether Tang Seng lived or died.

Tang Seng Spartan on the spot.

Hey, what about protecting me from the West? Don't you mean what you say? Goku, come back, don't leave me alone, I'm afraid.

Tang Seng regretted it, but the matter had come to this point, he could only bear it by himself, and the next morning, he continued to go west by himself.

But without Sun Wukong to help him turn his fate, he was tired and thirsty after a few days of leaving, and he could barely hold on.

At this moment, a village girl came forward with a basket, and Tang Seng was very excited: he finally saw someone.

hurriedly took a few steps forward and bowed: "Female benefactor, can the poor monk ask for a bowl of water to drink?" ”

Seeing his tired and embarrassed appearance, the village girl immediately poured him a bowl of water and said, "Master, please use it slowly." ”

"Thank you, donor." Tang Seng couldn't wait to drink a bowl of water in one go, and finally quenched his thirst.

Then the village girl handed him two steamed buns: "I still have some food here, and Master will use it too!" ”

"Amitabha, thank you to the female benefactor." Tang Seng thanked him, sat on the stone on the side of the road and nibbled on the steamed buns, during which the village aunt asked why Tang Seng was here alone? Tang Seng only said that he came from the Tang Dynasty in the eastern soil, and wanted to go to the west to worship the Buddha and seek scriptures, and he originally accepted an apprentice on the way, but the apprentice was wild and untamable, and he couldn't stand it after killing a few words and ran away.

After eating and drinking, Tang Seng was about to thank him, but saw that the village girl had become Guanyin Bodhisattva.

Tang Seng was surprised and delighted, and hurriedly bowed down: "Tang Sanzang, meet Guanyin Bodhisattva." ”

Guanyin Bodhisattva nodded, gave Tang Seng a certain yellow hat, and said: "I'll teach you a tight mantra, and when the Monkey King puts on the hat, you can silently recite the tight mantra so that you can restrain him." ”

"Thank you, Guanyin."

Tang Seng got the hat and learned to tighten the mantra, then continued to travel west, at this moment, Guanyin Bodhisattva said to the void: "Since the Great Sage of the Ping Demon is here, why not show up and see it." ”

Ling Chi appeared and said with a smile: "Sure enough, I can't hide it from the master." ”

Guanyin Bodhisattva smiled and said, "I don't know what the reason for the Great Sage to follow Tang Sanzang all the way?" ”

"After all, learning scriptures from the west is a big deal, I have been idle in the world for five hundred years, so I can't dissolve in such a big event, I want to secretly protect Tang Seng, and when he succeeds in learning scriptures from the west and his merits are complete, I will leave."

"I see." Guanyin Bodhisattva nodded and said: "It's just that at this time, it is a matter under the three definitions, although Tang Sanzang's study of the scriptures is full of disasters, but in the end there will be no danger, and there is no need for the great sage to interfere." ”

Ling Chi smiled and said, "Idle is also idle, since Tang Seng will encounter a lot of things along the way, I just want to have some fun, so as not to be idle for too long and die of idleness." ”

"......" Guanyin Bodhisattva looked at him deeply: "The Great Sage really has nothing else to ask for?" ”

"Not really." Ling Chi said, "The Bodhisattva also knows that before I became the Great Sage of the Ping Demon, I was the Heavenly Court Kitchen God. I love to collect all kinds of ingredients, along the way Tang Seng will definitely meet a lot of monsters, those monsters are good ingredients, and those monsters will definitely collect some good things, these can fill my kitchen. As a chef, how can you miss this good opportunity to collect ingredients? ”
