Chapter 77: Going West?

In Chang'an City, there are several fortune-telling stalls, which are not worth paying attention to, however, the appearance of the owner of this stall looks seven or eight points similar to Yuan Tiangang, so it is different.

Looking at a middle-aged man with extraordinary equipment walking in, and with the appearance of the man, there was a vision of wind and thunder in Chang'an City, which made Jiang Liu's heart flash the saying "clouds from the dragon, wind from the tiger".

"Could it really be that Yuan Shoucheng and the Dragon King of Jinghe can't succeed?", seeing this scene, Jiang Liu's heart moved slightly, and at the same time, he felt a little surprised and a sense of urgency.

According to the original book of Journey to the West, the beginning of Journey to the West actually started with a bet between the Dragon King of Jinghe and Yuan Shoucheng.

If that's the case, wouldn't the westward journey have to be greatly advanced?

Although he is in a game with Rulai, Jiang Liu also understands that the westward journey is irreversible, but after all, he is only fifteen years old now, right?

Although I don't remember how old Tang Seng was in the original book, he didn't set off until he was at least in his twenties, and he had been walking on the westbound road for more than ten years, so Jiang Liu always felt that the time left for him was only about twenty years.

I need to grow up in about 20 years to the point where I can wrestle with the Buddha.

But if you start now, you won't lose a lot of time!?

Thinking of such consequences, Jiang Liu's heart tightened, hesitated slightly, and stepped into it with his legs raised.

In the booth, you can hear the conversation between the two.

"Three feet, three inches and forty-eight points? Hahaha, okay, as you said, I'll see if it will rain tomorrow, whether the rain will be as you say, if not, don't blame me for lifting your stall, so that you don't want to deceive the world", the middle-aged man, who is extraordinary, spoke even more loudly, and said with a smile.

The old gentleman sitting in front of the stall looked calm, and seemed to not pay attention to the words that his stall was lifted.

It's just that as Jiang Liu stepped in, he turned his head and glanced at Jiang Liu.

"Master Xuanzang is here, don't you also have doubts to be solved?", looking at the river that walked in, Yuan Shoucheng took the initiative to say hello.

After making a bet with Yuan Shoucheng, the Jinghe Dragon King was originally going to go back, but when he heard the name of Master Xuanzang, the footsteps of the Jinghe Dragon King stopped and looked at the river curiously.

Obviously, Master Xuanzang's name can now be said to be very loud, Jinghe is not too far from Chang'an City, and he obviously knows Xuanzang's name.

"Mr. is polite, I don't know what to call it?", with his palms folded and his humble and polite appearance, Jiang Liu naturally pretended not to recognize Yuan Shoucheng.

The overall situation of Journey to the West has not officially started yet, but he shows that he knows this situation in advance, and the consequences are unimaginable.

"Master Xuanzang called me Yuan Shoucheng", bowed slightly, Yuan Shoucheng also made a mockery and returned the salute.

"Yuan, I once had a relationship with Yuan Tiangang Daochang, the Taoist chief's surname is Yuan, and his appearance is somewhat similar to Yuan Tiangang's Daochang, isn't it?", Jiang Liu's face was curious.

"Yes, Poor Dao is Yuan Tiangang's uncle", and did not hide the meaning of tucking, Yuan Shoucheng replied.

"I see, Yuan Tiangang Dao Chang accompanied His Majesty around, the magic power is vast, I heard that the method of divination is even more exquisite, Your Excellency is the uncle of Yuan Tiangang Dao Chang, I want to come to this method of divination is profound, I have a thing, I want to explore, and I hope that the Tao is longer than me to solve the puzzle."

Although he had only met Yuan Tiangang once, Jiang Liu's mouth was full of admiration.

These words are not just a simple compliment to the other party, in fact, they are still said to the Jinghe Dragon King next to him, which can be regarded as a hint to him.

Yuan Tiangang is a well-known Taoist in the entire Tang Dynasty, such as this locust plague, Li Shimin asked him to calculate many times, since Yuan Shoucheng is Yuan Tiangang's uncle, this can be regarded as a hint to the Dragon King of Jinghe, don't despise the gambling contract between them.

"Master Xuanzang is a holy monk of the Tang Dynasty, and he has twelve incense scars, the Buddha is profound, if you want to ask about the future, it is clear at a glance, why do you need to ask again", although the compliments in Jiang Liu's mouth are good, but Yuan Tiangang did not want to calculate for him.

"No, I'm not asking about my future," Jiang Liu replied, shaking his head.

"Oh, that's the case, please ask the mage to say it clearly", hearing that Jiang Liu didn't want to calculate his own business, Yuan Shoucheng nodded slightly.

"I have heard that all those who are supernatural can know the destiny of heaven and avoid evil, but the catastrophe is coming, but they will be blinded and fascinated by their hearts, and the Taoist is a person who is proficient in divination, may I ask if this matter is true?"

Jiang Liu clasped his palms together, his posture was very low, and he looked like he was sincerely seeking to solve his doubts.

......

The Dragon King of Jinghe originally knew that Yuan Shoucheng's divination method was very exquisite, otherwise, he would not have been able to guide the fisherman to fish in the Jing River every time he calculated, and he returned with a full load, so he listened to the hints of the river and said that Yuan Shoucheng's divination method was very profound, and he didn't have too many ideas, and he was still full of confidence in his bet.

However, the question thrown out behind the river made the Jinghe Dragon King's heart tighten, and his originally fiery heart was like a glass of cold water suddenly poured down.

Yes, throughout the ages, most of those with supernatural powers can measure the heavens, seek good fortune and avoid evil, but why do so many supernatural powers, and even the gods and bodhisattvas in the heavens fall?

That's because the catastrophe has come, and the catastrophe will fascinate the discerning eyes, making people unable to see the truth, and they will lose their lives in a daze in the catastrophe.

Faced with Jiang Liu's question, Yuan Shoucheng was speechless for a while, and did not answer, and he didn't know whether he couldn't answer it, or he didn't know how to answer.

Jiang Liu didn't care about Yuan Shoucheng's answer, but glanced at the Jinghe Dragon King beside him without a trace.

Seeing that there seemed to be a thoughtful look in his eyes, Jiang Liu knew that his goal had been achieved.

After putting his palms together and saluting, Jiang turned around and strode out of the stall and headed for the palace.

In the overall situation of the westward journey, although he is a very important chess piece, and even Rulai can promise to save Gao Yang, but after all, his own troubles are not hindered to the overall situation of the westward journey, so Rulai can allow himself to make trouble.

But if he deliberately jumped out and blocked the great cause of the westward journey, maybe the Buddha would have to destroy himself, send someone else, or let the golden cicada be reincarnated again......

Therefore, although Jiang Liu wanted to stop it, he couldn't jump out openly, for Jiang Liu, he hinted that the Dragon King of Jinghe had reached this point, and he tried his best, I just hope he can be smart and buy himself more time.

In the overall situation of the westward journey, as a chess piece, he wants to play with the chess players, and every step he makes is like walking on thin ice.

Jiang Liu left, and the Dragon King of Jinghe also left Chang'an City with a touch of thought, and with his departure, the surging vision of Chang'an City also naturally dissipated.

It's just that Yuan Shoucheng looked at Jiang Liu's distant figure and frowned slightly.

Xuanzang's words just now, asked in front of the Dragon King of Jinghe, was it intentional, or was it just a coincidence?

It didn't take long for Jiang Liu to come to the palace, and no one stopped him, and some of the guards even rushed in to report.

Knowing that Master Xuanzang was coming, Li Shimin personally greeted him.

Beside him, Yuan Tiangang also followed.

After seeing the ceremony, Jiang Liu's eyes fell on Yuan Tiangang's body, and he pondered for a moment, and asked, "Yuan Daochang, do you have an uncle named Yuan Shoucheng?"
