On the other side, Tang Seng followed Sun Wukong to leave the Two Realms Mountain and drove for most of the day.

Although the mountain road is rugged, it seems to have been repaired by people, and it can also be used by cars and horses, but it is a little narrow.

Although the surrounding mountains are towering, the road is also peaceful.

I didn't touch a monster, and I didn't have a bandit with long eyes.

Along the way, you can also meet a lot of Hu businessmen, all of whom are driving the latest special four-wheeled carriage from Datang, pulling a cart full of goods and hurrying away.

"How come there is a gallop here?"

After finding a place to rest on the road for the night, the group continued on their way the next day.

To their surprise, after walking west for most of the day, it turned out that there was a wide road in front of them.

Seeing this kind of spacious galloping road, Tang Seng couldn't help but feel a little shadow in his heart.

In particular, there are some differences between the Chidao here and Datang, and there is a boundary in the middle.

Those who come go on one side, those who go on the other, carriages and people, and separate boundaries are drawn.

At this time, Tang Seng didn't dare to ride a horse, so he quickly got off the horse and followed on foot.

You must know that on the Datang side, people who gallop through Buddhism ride horses, or others use oxen and horse-drawn carts to pull goods, all of which have to collect tolls.

That's why they've been dragged on the road for so long.

If it weren't for Tang Seng turning some money all the way, he might have spent more time.

Now that there is a gallop here again, can he have no shadows?

Not only Tang Seng, but also several disciples he brought with him.

"I think it was repaired by Hu Shang who was passing by, there are a lot of Hu merchants passing by here."

After listening to Tang Seng's words, Sun Wukong thought about it.

Since that guy took up his post in Hezhou, there have indeed been a lot more Hu businessmen in the Tang Dynasty here.

So it's not surprising that roads have also been built here to facilitate traffic.

Seeing that Tang Seng didn't even ride a horse, but hurried on foot, Sun Wukong didn't say anything.

Anyway, he is not in a hurry now, as long as he protects Tang Seng, Tang Seng can go as he likes, when he will go to the west sky, it is none of his business.

After being said something by Lu Yi, Sun Wukong's mentality is now very relaxed.

Not only that, Tang Seng nagged a lot of times, but Sun Wukong didn't take it to heart.

This ear goes in, and that ear goes out.

As long as Tang Seng says what he can't do, Sun Wukong will not refute it at all, no matter how Tang Seng tosses.

In this way, the relationship between the two gets along very well, and there is no contradiction.

"Well, there's a resting place ahead, let's go over and rest for the night, and we'll be on our way tomorrow."

After the group walked a little further, it was already dark.

Seeing that there was a resting place on the side of the road in front of him, Tang Seng said loudly.

So the group rushed over and rested on the spot.

It's just that this place is just a place to rest, not only does it have no food, but it also has no water.

And the water brought by a few people has already been drunk on the way.

"I'm going to fetch water for you!"

Sun Wukong glanced around and saw that there was a stream not far away, but it was very steep, so he picked up something filled with water and went over to fetch water.

He has magical powers here, and he can't get it if he asks others to fetch water.

What's more, it's already dark, and I'm afraid of danger.

Tang Seng looked at Sun Wukong's behavior and was very satisfied.

It turned out that the Bodhisattva had arranged such a powerful disciple for him, which made him more and more determined to go to the West Heaven to learn scriptures.

"Youkai! There are youkai! ”

After Sun Wukong left, several other people accompanied Tang Seng to rest by chanting scriptures.

At this time, there was a sudden gust of evil wind for no reason, and before a few people could react, they saw a white dragon rushing towards them.

Tang Seng only had time to shout that there were monsters, and the few mortal disciples he brought, as well as the horses he rode, were all eaten by this white dragon.

Seeing this scene, Tang Seng's face was pale with fright, his feet were weak, and he could only struggle to crawl to the side.

"Where did the monster come from, eat my grandson!"

Seeing that this white dragon was about to swallow Tang Seng, Sun Wukong hurried over at this time, waved his golden hoop stick and smashed it over.

Lu Yi, the white dragon of Eagle Sorrow, told Sun Wukong that his strength is not high, and he will become a white dragon horse in the future, so his attack is just pretending to be scared.

To be honest, he also wanted to verify whether what Lu Yi said was true.

This little white dragon with a sorrowful eagle will not become a white dragon horse in the end.

After the white dragon dodged Sun Wukong's stick, he saw that he was not the opponent of this hairy monkey and did not love to fight, so he flew directly to the Eagle Stream, and then plunged into the water without showing his face.

"That monster went into the water, and I couldn't find him at night. Now we can only rest for the night, and we will walk out of here early tomorrow morning to see if we can find the horses from the front. ”

Sun Wukong glanced at the eagle sorrowful, he was too lazy to find the guy hiding in the water, there was no need.

Since this guy wants to hide, let's hide.

Anyway, this guy can't go to the West Heaven, what does it have to do with him?

I just need to keep Tang Seng safe, whether Tang Seng has a white dragon horse to ride, that's not his own business.

Besides, the road they are now walking on is galloping, and it is very flat.

Tang Seng himself didn't dare to sit on a horse, so he continued to walk.

It's nothing more than that there are no horses to carry the luggage, so you can only carry it yourself.

"That's all there is to it. It's just that the monster is entrenched on the side of the road, why didn't those Hu merchants who passed by meet it? ”

After listening to Sun Wukong's words, Tang Seng had already come back to his senses, and he still replied in horror.

Just now, if Sun Wukong came later, he would be eaten by that dragon.

How can he still think about his horse?

Even his own disciples who were eaten, he didn't have the heart to care about it now.

Originally, I thought that it was already very difficult to be tossed in the territory of Datang for so long, but I didn't expect that after passing the Two Realms Mountain, it would be even more dangerous.

He had only been walking for two days, and the disciples who followed him were gone, and the horses were gone.

For Tang Seng, this scene was too scary.

At this moment, he wanted to go to the West Heaven to learn scriptures, but he couldn't help but hesitate.

In comparison, Datang is really the safest place.

Regarding Sun Wukong's words, Tang Seng agreed without thinking about it.

He didn't want Sun Wukong to leave him, otherwise as soon as Sun Wukong left, he would be eaten by the monster, who would save him then?

Now except for the horse and a few disciples who were eaten, the other things he brought were still there.

Walk and walk, but when the time comes, you will have to trouble Sun Wukong to carry the burden.

"I think those Hu merchants are familiar with the road of this place, and they didn't stop here. We went all the way, and those Hu businessmen walked very fast. ”

After listening to Tang Seng's words, Sun Wukong thought about it.

In fact, he now suspects that this resting place did not exist in the first place, but was just added by someone.

Just in time for them to catch up here, and then they will rest again.

Otherwise, knowing that there are monsters in this eagle sorrowful stream, who will rest here?

The two chatted for a while, and Sun Wukong asked Tang Seng to rest first, and he just watched from the side.

If the guy in the water dares to come up again, he doesn't need to show mercy.

Tang Seng had no objection to Sun Wukong's arrangement.

"Let's go, let's get out of here!"

Early the next morning, Tang Seng woke up, he didn't have much rest all night, always worried that the white dragon would come and eat him.

At this moment, seeing that the sky was slightly bright, he urged Sun Wukong to hurry up and go on the road.

As for the evil dragon in Eagle Sorrow, they can't control it now.

It's just that, to Tang Seng's surprise, he urged Sun Wukong to go not far before he saw a man in white blocking their way.

"The little dragon was instructed by the Bodhisattva and waited here for the scripture taker to pass by and rescue him. It's just that Xiaolong didn't know that the holy monk was the one who learned the scriptures, so he ate the disciples and horses of the holy monk. Now Xiaolong is willing to turn into a dragon horse and carry the holy monk to the west to learn scriptures. ”

Seeing Sun Wukong and Tang Seng walking over, the man in white saluted and replied.

Sun Wukong looked at these lightly on the side and didn't say anything.

What Lu Yi said has been fulfilled again!

Although he already had the answer in his heart, he still felt that it was very tasteless.

If this is the case on the westward journey, it really doesn't make much sense.

It looks too fake.

You know, he and Tang Seng didn't say anything along the way, how could this little white dragon be sure that he and Tang Seng were the ones who learned the scriptures?

Come to think of it, I didn't go to the trouble of the little white dragon last night, but someone went to find the little white dragon.

Otherwise, how could this guy be on the road early in the morning?

Looking at these, Sun Wukong didn't even bother to sneer, and quietly watched the little white dragon perform.

"Ugh"

Listening to the words of the man in white, Tang Seng looked confused, and then looked at Sun Wukong.

However, he did know one thing, and that was that the guy in front of him ate his own disciple and horse last night.

What if he was allowed to be his mount and he ate himself?

That's why he looked at Sun Wukong.

If Sun Wukong says it's okay, then it's okay.

Now, the only person Tang Seng can believe in is Sun Wukong.

He is a cheap disciple, but he can beat the white dragon and dare not show his face.

"Since it's the Bodhisattva's guidance, it's good to think about it. Master has horses to ride, and our things to pack. ”

Seeing Tang Seng looking at himself, Sun Wukong replied lightly.

If this little white dragon can eat Tang Seng, that is what he admires.

In that case, I have to thank him.

This is certainly not going to happen, though.

Lent a hundred guts to the little white dragon, and he didn't dare.

Not only that, Sun Wukong also knew that no one on the way would eat Tang Seng on the monsters.

It's just acting.

"Then you can stay!"

After listening to Sun Wukong's words, Tang Seng agreed to the little white dragon.

Seeing this, the little white dragon rolled on the ground, and then turned into a tall white dragon horse.

Compared to the one that Tang Seng was eaten, I don't know how much stronger it is.

Seeing this, Sun Wukong put his luggage on the horse's back, and then continued to go west with Tang Seng.

Tang Seng saw that the man in white just now had turned into a horse, and his heart was full of apprehension, and he would look at this horse from time to time, whether it would secretly eat itself.

As for sitting on it, he really didn't have the guts right now.

"This mage, if you don't ride a horse, will you have to pay a fine?"

On the way, I met some Hu Shang who was riding a horse, and when he saw that Tang Seng didn't ride a horse, he was still walking slowly, and a Hu Shang immediately reminded him kindly.

"Fines?"

Listening to Hu Shang's words, Tang Seng was full of doubts.

Could it be that this side is different from Datang?

The galloping monk on the Datang side has to pay taxes if he rides a horse, and he has to pay a fine if he doesn't ride a horse on the galloping road here?

"That's right. The Tang government has regulations that those who ride horses on this galloping road must rush to the next post station within a limited time, and will not be given a rest halfway. If nothing happens on the road and you can't meet the time limit, you will be fined. ”

"There is a distinction between the two sides of the road, and the two sides near the boundary in the middle can only walk horses and carts, coming on one side, going on the other, and pedestrians walking on the side. Because there are many merchants passing by this road, if you don't speed up, it will be easy to block in the future. ”

"Hurry up and get on your horses now, someone in front will register you in time, and the back gate will check the time."

Seeing that Tang Seng didn't understand the situation at all, the kind-hearted Hu Shang immediately reminded Tang Seng.

After passing the Eagle Sorrow Stream, the gallop here is like this.

The Hu businessmen that Tang Seng saw before were all in a hurry, which is also the reason.

Because there are too many merchants passing by on this road, it is easy to get clogged in the future if the speed is not fast.

If someone has a problem in the middle, they need to testify against the passing merchants, and then move to the side of the road to wait for rescue.

Not only that, but there will be a special patrol person on each section of the gallop.

"The Tang Mansion? Is this still Datang? ”

After hearing Hu Shang's words, Tang Seng was immediately dumbfounded.

This side is now also the territory of Datang?

"yes, doesn't the mage know? From the Two Realms Mountain to the Liusha River, it is all Datang's now! On the other side of the quicksand river, it is Che Chi Guo. ”

Seeing that Tang Seng didn't know about this, Hu Shang was full of surprise.

You must know that the Xifanhami Kingdom and the Wusi Tibetan Kingdom here have now been destroyed and are under the control of the Tang Anxi Protectorate.

This monk came from Datang, and he didn't know about it!

"I'm in a hurry, so I won't talk to the mage much. The mage still remembers to follow the rules, otherwise the road will be passed by by a patrol team at regular intervals, and they will inevitably be reprimanded and fined. ”

After chatting with Tang Seng for a while, the Hu merchant hurriedly drove away in his four-wheeled carriage.

Obviously, he was afraid of losing time.

"Why is it still Datang here?"

After listening to Hu Shang's words, Tang Seng couldn't help but muttered to himself.

He thought that he would come out of the Tang Dynasty after crossing the Two Realms Mountain, and he would no longer have to be caught and collect tolls.

But I didn't expect that after passing the Two Realms Mountain, this place is still Datang!

What made him even more dumbfounded was that it was the same Datang, why the rules of Chidao were different.

There is a sectional fee, which only accepts horseback riding and cart pulling.

There is no money for galloping here, but it is a specified time to pass, but it will be fined!

What kind of rules are these!

"Master, you'd better hurry up and get on the horse, otherwise you'll be in trouble if you miss the time!"

Listening to Hu Shang's words, Sun Wukong felt a very familiar smell.

This kind of thing seems to be something that only someone can do.

After all, when Sun Wukong was pressed in the Two Realms Mountain before, he used to listen to the people over there talk about that guy.

It's just that I didn't expect that this guy was originally in Hezhou, but now why did he come to the Western Regions?

Thinking of someone, Sun Wukong glanced at Tang Seng who was still hesitating, and couldn't help but prompt out loud.

There is no problem here, but Tang Seng has a horse.

I don't know how much money Tang Seng brought, and if he can't pay the fine by then, he won't be able to leave.

After the master and apprentice arrived at the first pass, there was no charge here, but a sign was issued to Tang Seng, which recorded his situation and the time of entering the customs.

This time is based on the time of the big bell on the bell tower at the gate.

For this big bell, Tang Seng is no stranger.

Now in Chang'an City, there are several large bell towers.

The ministers went to court, the city gate was closed, etc., and now it was determined by the time when the bell tower rang, and there was no need to beat the watchman to watch the night and knock the watch.

"Master, let's go!"

After seeing that there were really things and soldiers from the Tang Dynasty here at the pass, Tang Seng confirmed at this moment that the west of the Two Realms Mountain really belonged to the Tang Dynasty now.

The bad news is that the place where they stop on the back road is fixed, and after passing a pass, they must rush to which pass at the specified time, and there is no time to fast along the way.

In this case, he will not even be able to eat and drink all the way, because he may not have enough money on him.

The good news is that there is no money for the gallop here, and only those who drive to pull goods have to pay tolls, and the same is true for monks.

So the little money left on Tang Seng doesn't have to pay the toll.

Along the way, you might even be able to buy something to eat.

"Don't worry about eating on the road, my grandson will help you make a fortune then."

Knowing what Tang Seng was worried about, Sun Wukong returned.

Tang Seng ran a horse on the gallop road, which didn't affect anything, and he could help him find food and water.

Anyway, no matter how fast he runs, he won't be faster than himself.

As long as you don't have to worry about safety, there are no demons and monsters along the way, and your guard duties have been fulfilled.

In this way, Sun Wukong thinks it's very good, maybe they will run to Lingshan in three or five months.

"That's great!"

There is no need to worry about food and water, and there is no need to pay for the road, Tang Seng relaxed a little in his heart.

As for road safety, it's a completely good thing for him.

Like the situation in Eagle Sorrow, he really didn't want to encounter it a second time.

After the master and apprentice discussed, Tang Seng rode the white dragon horse and galloped forward.

This white dragon horse is much more stable than his original mount, he doesn't need to feed grass and water, and his speed is also well controlled, and Tang Seng doesn't have to worry about anything.

He just sat on it, and the white dragon horse carried him and his luggage, and walked forward on his own.

Within the specified time, it can easily run to the designated threshold.

Sun Wukong didn't walk, he turned into a worm and followed the white dragon horse all the way.

When you need to take a break to eat or be convenient along the way, there are some places along the way to provide them.

Those who have money can spend money to buy it, and those who don't have money can bring their own dry food.

Sun Wukong took the opportunity to go to Huayuan to find some food and water, and the little money that Tang Seng brought was not used as much as possible.

The master and apprentice walked hundreds of miles in one day.

After two or three days, I directly skipped the Guanyin Temple, skipped Gao Laozhuang and went to the side of the quicksand river.

You don't have to be too fast and too cool to travel, and you don't have to worry about your safety.

All the way, there were merchants who came and went, as well as the Tang cavalry patrolling the road.

Whether it is Tang Seng or Sun Wukong, they all feel that this is very refreshing.
