Chapter 207 Lin Xuan After 12 Years (Part [-])
Hearing the monk's question at this time, Lin Shuhang laughed: "What the master said is true."

He turned his head to look at his companion who was his 'apprentice', but he didn't know how to call him, but saw that the man was wilted at last, and muttered angrily: "I knew to sue my master..."

Xu Shi's aggrievedness made him unleash his potential, and at this moment he managed to pull the horse's hoof out of the sunken mud pit.

"It's still Lin Xuan's benefactor who understands the reason." The monk said happily: "You see, if you use your heart to influence and don't need to be whipped, the horse will exert strength now."

The man took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and seemed to choose to accept his fate, and didn't say anything more.

Instead, Lin Shuhang walked over and patted him on the shoulder to express comfort, and asked, "Where is this place?"

The apprentice replied: "Master, since I came out yesterday, I have been walking for a long time. Sixty or seventy miles west of Gongzhou City, the mountain in front is Shuangcha Ridge. After passing this mountain, fifty miles ahead is Wuwei."

Lin Shuhang deliberately smiled and asked again: "Master Xuanzang just reprimanded you, but are you dissatisfied?"

The apprentice only thought that the master would blame him, and what he was most afraid of was to offend the master. At this time, he was scolded by the monk for no reason and made the master angry.

But he didn't know that Lin Shuhang just wanted to confirm the identity of the monk. Seeing that the other party acquiesced in Xuanzang's name, he had already made up his mind, and smiled and patted his head: "It's okay, Taoism emphasizes that everything is natural, and you can decide according to your heart. My thoughts are right, but Master Xuanzang is an elder after all, ruled by etiquette, even if you don’t agree with his thoughts, don’t contradict him face to face, otherwise he can scold you, but you can’t scold back, isn’t it just asking for trouble ?”

Although these words are superficially helping Xuanzang, but in fact they are helping him, the disciple was overjoyed when he heard the words, only felt that the master was indeed the closest and dearest person in his life, so naturally he didn't feel aggrieved at this time.

"Disciple understands!" He smiled happily, turned around and saluted Monk Jishou: "Master Xuanzang, just now the boy said nothing, so don't take it to heart."

The monk smiled and nodded at him, but he was more interested in Lin Shuhang, and turned his head to look: "Benefactor Lin Xuan is indeed a good believer."

"Master, you're laughing." Lin Shuhang cupped his hands, and at the same time, a one-time customs clearance task was also triggered.

[Escort Tang Monk to the west, and reach the Five Elements Mountain to recover Monkey King to complete the merits and virtues]

There is no doubt at the moment, this monk is indeed Tang Seng, and if this place is Shuangcha Ridge...

Lin Shuhang raised his eyes and looked around.

After becoming an immortal, talents such as yin and yang eyes can directly say goodbye to the stage. Things that ordinary people cannot see, such as ghosts and gods, Yin Qi, are actually just because they exist in different dimensions, just like ordinary people cannot see spiritual energy. Same.

At this time, I looked intently at the mountain in the distance, and sure enough, I saw bursts of black evil spirit on the mountain. Different from the darkness at night, the blackness on the mountain was extremely heavy, with a strong smell of blood and magic.

There must be monsters in this mountain, but this makes Lin Shuhang feel very magical.

Tang Xuanzang's journey to the west to learn scriptures is true in history, and he himself has indeed confirmed that there are demons and ghosts in the world, but the devil king of Shuangcha Ridge, and even the Monkey King mentioned in the one-time customs clearance mission...

Journey to the West is just a novel, and the words of the novelist are actually real?
Although there is no truth to it, and novelists also draw their materials from folklore, such legends are too accurate.

and also……

Tang Seng actually called him "Lin Xuan", but according to the age.

When I was in Siping Mountain, it was the 13th year of Sui Daye, that is, 617 AD, and it should be the third year of Zhenguan's westward journey, that is, 629 AD, a difference of 12 years.

He felt his own state. Although he had passed his youth, his body was still in his prime, and he should be around 30 years old.

And after he left Siping Mountain, Lin Xuan obviously did not waste his practice, but worked harder.

Therefore, even putting aside the power brought by his time travel, Lin Xuan himself has already reached the middle stage of moving blood, and his spirit has entered the middle stage of foundation establishment. Even if his actual combat ability is put aside, Just looking at this quality is also a proper martial arts saint.

This kind of skill may not dare to say that the Tang Dynasty is currently the strongest, but it is already top-notch enough. It is completely confident to bring an apprentice to escort Tang Monk to the west...

"Master, I think this mountain is a little gloomy." The disciple next to him is also imitating Lin Shuhang, his cultivation base is still shallow, his spiritual energy is not innate, and his physical body is not as strong as two tigers, but his spirituality is quite sufficient, and his eyes are quite a bit dark. The talent of yin and yang eyes: "I feel something unclean."

Xuanzang, who was behind him, was a little worried when he heard the words. He himself is also an eminent monk. Although he has been studying Buddhism and has not learned any methods of applying hope, he has his own inspiration. At this time, he also feels that the mountain is dangerous: Is there any other way than Shuangcha Ridge?"

The apprentice said: "If you don't go to Shuangcha Ridge, you have to go down to Xiling Ridge, and you have to go around for four or five days."

As soon as he heard that he had to make a detour for four or five days, the monk became worried again. Both of them looked at Lin Shuhang, but Lin Shuhang smiled faintly: "No, if you can't even cross this mountain, how can you talk about escorting the master from thousands of miles away?" Lingshan? With me here, don’t worry about these monsters.”

The monk was overjoyed when he heard the words: "The King of Tang once said that Benefactor Lin is the number one hero in my Tang Dynasty. He fought invincible opponents all over the world back then. He really has a heroic spirit."

Lin Shuhang exchanged some polite words with him, and the three of them still followed the main road to Shuangcha Ridge. At this time, they talked with them on the sidelines, and got a lot of information.

As I guessed, it was indeed Li Shimin's idea to let Lin Xuan escort Tang Seng to the west.

Li Xuanba's deeds have not yet reached the level of being banned by Li Shimin. Whether it is among the people or the court, everyone can still vividly remember Li Xuanba's prestige in the Siping Mountain Battle, even the Great Tang Dynasty. The official historian's records of the Siping Mountain Station are still extremely detailed, but he has already rehabilitated his identity with the surname Lin and restored his name Lin Xuan.

No matter the folks or the imperial court, nowadays some people worship him, and some even fear him, saying that he lives in seclusion, but in fact, the place where he lives in seclusion has already become a holy place in the hearts of many martial arts practitioners, and it is not even a matter of fact. A 'hidden' word.

Therefore, after Lin Xuan retired from Siping Mountain, he obviously did not completely escape from Li Shimin's sight. Although he has been living in seclusion in Qinglinkou Village, since the Tang Dynasty established and wiped out the land of Sichuan and Shu, Li Shimin's various rewards came almost every now and then. One trip, a small gift every week, a big reward every month, has almost never stopped. The main road in Qinglinkou Village has finally been repaired, so that it has flourished. The small village with only a hundred households is now fast. It has become a county seat.

At that time, the Tang Dynasty had not been completely pacified. On the surface, this move was to thank Lin Xuan for his kindness in Siping Mountain and to make the monarch and his ministers righteous, but in fact it was a constant show of kindness and appeasement. Make you absolutely embarrassed to go out to help others.

But such a strong man who can sweep the world is right next to the couch, Li Shimin is still uneasy after all, so even though it is now in the Zhenguan period, the Tang Dynasty is prosperous and stable, but Lin Xuan is still Li Shimin's thorn in the side and thorn in the flesh, as long as he exists In Sichuan, Li Shimin always felt that Sichuan was out of his control, and that something beyond his control might erupt at any time.

Such a feeling is of course intolerable for an emperor, but he dare not deal with Lin Xuan. One is that he is afraid that he will show his power and cause disaster. No one in this world can control him. , but his deeds have already been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. It is he Li Shimin who can get the world's number one hero and savior. If killing him now, doesn't it mean that he Li Shimin crossed the river and demolished the bridge?He has only sat on the throne for three years, and doing such a thing is simply digging his own grave.

It happened that Xuanzang, an eminent monk in Chang'an, wanted to travel westward to Tianzhu to obtain Buddhist scriptures in order to enlighten the world, so with the help of this Tang monk's westward journey, he simply invited Lin Xuan out of the mountain in the name of the king of Tang.

It's not that the monsters and clowns along the way can swallow the invincible Li Xuanba, but that Xuanzang travels westward and travels thousands of miles to Tianzhu. Several years or even ten years, not to mention that Xuanzang will study Buddhism in Tianzhu, maybe he will never come back in this life... That is really what Taizong wanted!

Go and make Tianzhu a headache, don't make trouble with me...

Besides, entrusting a heavy responsibility and passing on a good name to the world is also a good story, so why not do it?At the same time, you can also test whether you still have prestige in Lin Xuan's mind, which is killing more birds with one stone.

So the official gave the imperial decree, and Lin Xuan knew that he was not the real Li Xuanba, even if he is now a martial saint, how dare he resist the decree and cause trouble, and finally show his feet?
No matter how reluctant he was, he had no choice but to agree, and now Lin Xuan and his apprentice escorted Tang Seng to the west...

Lin Shuhang also secretly shook his head when he deduced the cause and effect from the scattered oral chat between Tang Seng and his apprentice.

It is said that being with a king is like being with a tiger, and the art of being an emperor is indeed not something that can be deduced by ordinary people's emotional thinking. I chose to keep Lin Xuan away from Li Shimin and indeed saved the lives of the Lin family.

And if he hadn't acted too shockingly back then, deterring Li Shimin until now, the Lin family would have already been cut off.

Right now this apprentice is from Qinglinkou Village, also surnamed Lin, named Lin Youzhi, his father is the village chief of Qinglinkou Village, and now that his parents are still alive, he is practicing with his teacher and respects Lin Xuan very much.

At this moment, Lin Youzhi asked about Hu Tie'er again, but Lin Youzhi said sadly: "Master, why did you mention it again? Master has passed away for two years, every time you mention it, you secretly wipe your tears behind your back... Don't think about it."

Tang Xuanzang next to him said the Buddha's name: "It's good, it's good."

A group of three, facing Qingshuang and looking at Mingyue, chatted and hurried on their way, looking at Shuangcha Ridge.

The inspirations of Tang Seng and Lin Youzhi belonged to the existing but not profound level. After chatting with Lin Shuhang, he was no longer sensitive to the yin energy on this mountain. Lin Youzhi was born in a small place, and he was always interested in big scenes. He kept answering questions, and felt that the conversation was full of enthusiasm.

Suddenly, there was a rattling sound in the bushes above, and a large net made of wire suddenly fell from the sky, enveloping the three of them with their horses.

There were also many voices with strange tones: "Catch it!"

"Three people and one horse, let's eat meat!"

"Yo ho ho ho ho!"

Hula la la...

There were shouts from all around, the sound of running through the forest, the branches and leaves of the trees were rustling, and twenty or thirty black shadows suddenly jumped out of the seemingly empty forest.

Either rush down from the tree with hands and feet, or rush out from the surrounding bushes.

Tang Seng was so frightened that his face turned ashen, he was covered by the barbed wire, fell off his horse, and shouted tremblingly: "There are bandits!"

But in the next second, he realized something was wrong, because these shadows didn't look like human figures.

They look like wolves, tigers, leopards, bears, and monkey spirits standing up, but none of them are humans!
