In the evening, the team chose a place in the desert and set up a tent to rest for a while.

In addition to Xuanzang and Shenfang, Chang'an also sent three members to participate in the scriptures.

Wei Chigong, a powerful man, has led expeditions many times, has rich experience in survival, and as his appearance shows, his combat effectiveness is also good.

Hu Hongdao is a mechanical expert, as long as he is given a wrench and a screwdriver, he does not have to worry about encountering a vehicle failure that cannot be repaired, and his driving skills are also superb.

There is also Yuan Ce, who has a lot of research on astrology and feng shui, can correct the direction at any time, and is also a sharpshooter.

This staffing was jointly decided by Li Shimin and Shenfang, and Shenfang took the initiative to refuse to let his followers join, which slightly surprised Xuanzang. He had thought that it would be a painful journey, and that he would have to listen to the compliments of the believers and the terrible Buddhist scriptures.

"Amitabha, you have to cross yourself before you can cross others. Besides, it is a long journey to the west, and resources are tight, so it is best to bring the most useful people with the limited number of places. That's how Shen Fang explained.

It's really strange, once he left Chang'an, he looked like a normal person, and he didn't speak so well, although he still occasionally had a strange smell of crepe.

The three people who traveled with them were all familiar with the survival skills in the desert, and they didn't need Xuanzang to say much about it, and they all did it quickly after camping, laying sleeping bags, digging pits and collecting dew.

Wei Chigong caught a few rats and a snake nearby, and it was as easy as if he were digging something into his own pocket, and grabbed one from the ground at a time. He baked the food and distributed it to everyone, and there was no salt in the condition, and it was very boring to eat. But they had to save as much dry food as possible in their luggage and satisfy their hunger with the game first.

After eating, Xuanzang arranged the order of taking turns on duty, and asked everyone to go to bed early to save their strength.

He himself leaned against the massive tires of the ATV, moistened his throat with the water from the bottle cap, and looked out at the sand dunes in the distance.

Before leaving, Wei Zheng provided most of the above parts according to the list he gave, but the beta wave transmitter, quantum interferometer and other parts were still beyond Chang'an's ability after all, and the remake of the brain domain connection device was only delayed.

Xuanzang spent some time building some small devices such as water purifiers and infrared radars to hide people's eyes and ears, one of which was a signal transmitter disguised as a stun rod, after deceiving Yang Jian's surveillance some time ago, the power has been adjusted at noon today, and it has been modified back to its real function.

At this moment, it was emitting signals at a steady frequency, allowing the black impermanence hidden under the optical camouflage to obtain his position at any time and follow the scripture learning team. Now, the FTB might be parked behind some sand dune.

"Mr. Courier." Someone greeted him.

Xuanzang watched Shenfang sit beside him, frowned unabashedly, and asked, "Why doesn't the master go to rest?" During the day, you will have a lot of physical exertion, and you are often walking around, so you should understand this. ”

"I can't sleep, I'm here to talk to you." Shen Fang smiled out of sight.

The two exchanged a few words of greeting, and he suddenly said, "You still seem to be angry about me secretly inquiring about your messenger's identity. ”

"It's probably part of the reason." Xuanzang said.

Shenfang laughed self-deprecatingly: "I know you hate Buddhist scriptures very much, I won't force you to accept them like they do, I just hope that this will not affect our cooperation." The road is still long. ”

Xuanzang didn't want to correct his misunderstanding and decided to bypass the topic and asked, "Who told you my identity?" ”

"On the day you came to Chang'an, the other two security officers who received you." Shen Fang explained.

I see, Xuanzang nodded, but he forgot about them, it seems that he has really regressed a lot.

Shenfang said: "In fact, when I first decided on the candidate, I thought of Mr. Xuanzang. I've always been impressed by the kick you smashed. Later, I looked up your S.P.E.C.I.A.L index, and there was a big contrast with your performance, which made me more and more interested in you. ”

Xuanzang was noncommittal, and quietly turned on the switch of the prism plug-in given by Yang Jian.

"I don't know why, Xuanzang, I can feel it from you...... A breath of the same kind. ”

Hearing this, Xuanzang instantly became alert.

On that day, Guanyin's incarnation didn't pay much attention to him, and he didn't see anyone who seemed to be Guanyin's true body approaching him.

He had speculated about the possibility that the identity of the shell had been revealed. Generally speaking, identity recognition is based on soul characteristic parameters, and when he was reborn, he had completely destroyed the original Xuanzang soul. As for the body itself, he had examined it without any implants, and without using instruments, even Guanyin would not be able to judge by its physical characteristics alone.

Could it be that Guanyin simulated the appearance of the old version of the scripture taker in advance after he became an adult, and entered it into the memory of Shen Fang?

It shouldn't be so boring......

Xuanzang believed that the identity of the messenger he used was an excellent cover-up, not only explaining the source of his skills, but also facilitating his actions. Looking back on every step of his actions since he came to Chang'an, there should be nothing that can be linked to the old version of the scriptures.

He clearly drew such a line with Buddhism, but Shen Fang said that he had the same feelings for him, could it be that the contrast in the S.P.E.C.I.A.L values made him suspicious?

Xuanzang thought for a few seconds and said quietly: "Oh? I don't think we have anything in common. ”

"How so? You see, you're the messenger, I'm the monk, and we're doing so similar things, except that you're communicating letters, and I'm communicating faith. ”

What kind of ghost word game is playing, the purpose of that sentence just now is so simple, not a temptation? Xuanzang laughed a few times and said, "My consciousness is not as good as Master Shenfang. ”

Shen Fang smiled and said, "Having said that, the biggest common denominator should be our bodies." ”

Which one is this playing?

Xuanzang decided to stand still and did not answer.

"You don't have to hide it, I can see it. To be able to step on that kick, your body must have been transformed. I think it was a mechanical modification, so it was not reflected in the S.P.E.C.I.A.L test. Shenfang looked at Xuanzang's eyes and hooked the corners of his mouth, "Actually, I am also a transformed person." You may not know that my S.P.E.C.I.A.L is over 7 in all seven of my seven indexes. ”

"Oh, I've heard of it." You want to brag about this after a long time? Why did you just use that kind of misleading statement?

"Without this kind of body transformation, I would not have been able to travel all over the world on my own, spreading the Dharma everywhere. Oddly enough, I don't know who gave me a makeover. Shen Fang looked at the starry sky and recalled with a distraction, "I grew up in a temple in the Western Valley, and Master said that I was an abandoned baby he picked up in front of the temple, and since I was a child, I have shown all kinds of unusual talents, I can learn all kinds of skills, and I also have a natural passion for Buddhism. In other words, when I was born, I was transformed. But I still don't know who my parents were, if they did all this, and why they abandoned me in the temple. ”

It seems that the origins of the people who learn the scriptures are all a template. And if he didn't lie deliberately, it would prove that Shenfang also didn't know his identity as the person who took the scriptures, and Yang Jian's original information was wrong.

Shen Fang continued: "I tried all means, but I couldn't find an answer. And I am devoted to the Buddha, but in fact, I have a certain selfishness. Who am I? Where am I from? Where are you going? All things have spirits, and the ultimate question of thinking is the same. I think that I was born with a Buddha's fate, and I am afraid that it is an existing arrangement, so the Buddha will definitely be able to answer my doubts. ”

After speaking, he was speechless for a long time.

Xuanzang coughed a few times, broke the somewhat awkward silence, and asked, "Master Shenfang didn't go to rest, but asked me to talk about his past, what is it for?" ”

Shen Fang replied: "Mr. Xuanzang has a lot of criticism about Buddhism, and he is not very friendly to me. I want you to know that my belief in the Buddha is not blindly followed, nor is it as immaculate as others say the Buddha's mind is. I hope that in the future journey, you can let go of misunderstandings and hostility and live in harmony with everyone. ”

"That's it?"

"That's it."

Xuanzang originally hoped that by chatting with him, he could determine whether the identity of his old version of the scripture was exposed, and by the way, he would find out whether Shenfang and Guanyin had already colluded. Well, the latter seems to have been able to prove from the side that there is no, the only gain.

But God Fang this man...... It's too pompous!

It's just a conversation like a college novel, a good cadre who has worked hard for unity and friendship, and a model of order and kindness.

Shen Fang smiled and patted Xuanzang's shoulder and walked back to his tent, as if they had become good friends after this spiritual exchange.

Xuanzang sat in place and was stunned for several minutes before sending the video just now to Yang Jian, and attached a sentence: "Guanyin deserves to create a perfect young man who is gentle and frugal." ”
