Building a Salvation Organization from Scratch

Chapter 135
"Suye City goes west for more than [-] miles to Qianquan. Qianquan is located more than [-] miles away, with snow-capped mountains in the south and three flat lands. The water and soil are fertile, the forests are sparse, and in the late spring moon, there are miscellaneous flowers. Spring. Chi Qiansuo, hence the name Yan."

"From then on, I went east into the big quicksand, and the sand flowed everywhere. Gathering and dispersing with the wind, people walked without a trace, so I got lost, and the surroundings were vast, and I didn't know what to refer to. Those who came in the past gathered the remains to remember. Lack of water and grass, hot wind. When the wind blows, people and animals become obsessed with marriage, and because of this, they become sick. When they hear singing or crying, they suddenly don’t know where they are going between seeing and hearing. As a result, there are frequent deaths, which are caused by ghosts and ghosts.”

……

Using poetic language, Chen Sheng talked with Xuanzang about the scenery outside the region and his experiences along the way.

After leaving Nalanda Temple, Chen Sheng caught the three wisps of monster life parasitic on animals in various places along the way.

During this process, he was naturally impressed by the scenery along the way.

For example, the Great Quicksand mentioned just now, because this place was mentioned in Xuanzang’s Records of the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty, Chen Sheng went there to check in.

Then, in a turbid water source near the big quicksand, a catfish parasitized by the monster's organism was unexpectedly found.

When he used the spiritual cultivation system to fight against it, Yu Bo directly created a man-made sandstorm, and that scene left a deep impression on him.

The scenery he talked about with Xuanzang was indeed what Chen Sheng saw when he came all the way from the Nalanda Temple in the Western Regions.

However, Chen Sheng's description of these scenery is not his own language.

These words are all descriptions in the Tang Dynasty Records of the Western Regions written by Xuanzang himself, and were directly used by Chen Sheng to tell Xuanzang stories.

This kind of feeling of using his later works to pretend to be in front of him is really unique.

"So, you came from the Western Regions? You have traveled thousands of miles and seen a lot of scenery?"

As Xuanzang spoke, his eyes lit up.

Regarding the scenery in Chen Sheng's words, a faint idea began to sprout in his heart: maybe, he can go and see it with his own eyes?
"Yes."

Chen Sheng nodded, looking at Xuanzang who was getting a little excited.

Especially when Chen Sheng saw the brightening light in Xuanzang's eyes, he couldn't help showing a smile.

Xuanzang's reason for going to the Western Regions seems to be because he has one more reason unconsciously.

At this moment, history also began to change.The real source of these words seems to have become blurred in history, and Xuanzang's reasons for going to the Western Regions have also become blurred.

"So, what you said about the sealed monsters is also true?"

Xuanzang looked down at the wooden box in his hand, and couldn't help swallowing when he thought of the three monsters inside.

At this moment, the wooden box was like a hot potato, Xuanzang always felt that it might explode suddenly at some point.

Judging from the current details.

Judging from the vividness of Chen Sheng's description of the scenery of the Western Regions.

The story of suppressing demons and goblins told by Chen Sheng also seems to be true.

Xuanzang, who has always firmly believed that the Buddha and Taoism are just a philosophy of life, suddenly felt that his worldview began to collapse.

Some people may think that Xuanzang, who is proficient in Buddhism, should have a higher ability to accept demons and ghosts.

But what most Buddhists actually pursue is a philosophical concept and a spiritual realm, and they have never really become the gods in the legends of ghosts.

"It really can't be more true."

As Chen Sheng said, he took the wooden box back from Xuanzang's hand.

Then he tapped the wooden box lightly.

After a crisp sound, a hole on the top of the wooden box moved open.

Three phantoms, exactly the same as the apes, wild boars, and catfish, slowly emerged from the wooden box.

Xuanzang looked at the phantom that was close at hand, and could not utter any words that wanted to be suspicious.

Such a real picture, right in front of his eyes, made his scalp tingle.

Xuanzang couldn't stop wanting to back up, but his legs seemed to be rooted in the ground, and he didn't follow his will to back up at all.

Looking at the three phantoms that were about to stick to his face, Xuanzang felt as if he could smell the scent of these monster phantoms.

I saw that their ferocious fangs seemed to be struggling to scream, but they stopped abruptly before they could make a sound.

Because Chen Sheng closed his mouth again in the next moment, and their ability to transmit sound was also deprived and cancelled.

At this moment, the surroundings became quiet.

Chen Sheng waited silently for Xuanzang's reply, while Xuanzang's mind was running wildly.

Chen Sheng asked him before: Do you want to learn from him seriously.

I used to come to learn about sculpture, but now I come to learn about strange power and chaos.

It is now confirmed that this is not a trick.

So... Do you want to agree?
Do you want to follow the man in front of you and learn those extraordinary methods?
Xuanzang subconsciously fell into a choice.

But soon, Xuanzang suddenly realized something: "Why me?"

Yeah, why him? !

The man in front of him could obviously just show him the carvings on the wooden box, but now he is obviously showing him something special on purpose.

He is just an ordinary monk who has just passed the examination of Buddhism in Dali Temple. Compared with the general public and all living beings, he seems to have nothing special about him.

"Because you deserve it."

Chen Sheng looked at Xuanzang with a smile on his face.

For this answer, Xuanzang, who was only 13 years old, was obviously a little confused.Of course, even after several decades, Xuanzang would still feel confused about this answer.

Only Chen Sheng understood.

Xuanzang was chosen not only because the mage Jiexian, who sealed the vitality of the monster, needed a better apprentice than him to inherit the great cause of sealing, so he chose Xuanzang who was good enough in the original history.

It was also because Chen Sheng felt that considering Xuanzang's excellence, it would be a pity not to include him in Yongzhou.

..........................................

three years later.

With the Wagang army approaching the city, even Luoyang has begun to suffer from war.

In the original history, Xuanzang, who had been ordained as a monk for three years, was supposed to travel around in order to avoid the war, and finally chose to settle in the land of Sichuan and Shu, which was relatively stable in the late Sui Dynasty.

After Chen Sheng joined, history hasn't changed much.Chen Sheng didn't interfere with the general trend of history, so as not to instantly clear up his remaining space-time disturbance threshold.

He just silently donated some supplies to some disaster victims, and even this consumed his considerable time-space disturbance threshold.

Then, just like the original historical process, Chen Sheng still brought Xuanzang and some related people to the land of Sichuan and Shu.

Here, he took Xuanzang to travel all over the mountains and rivers of some famous Sichuan and Shu places.

He also took Xuanzang to learn some basics of the spiritual practice system.

Chen Sheng's understanding of this practice system based on the variation of the concept of Buddhist Consciousness-Only Theory can only be superficial.

He just relied on his high achievements in the spiritual power practice system to learn the essence of part of the spiritual practice system from a high level.

Xuanzang's teachings can only be said to lay the foundation. At most, Xuanzang can be brought to the fifth consciousness level in the spiritual practice system. The next road is naturally to go west to Nalanda Temple to learn.

However, it has to be said that Xuanzang's talent, intelligence and firm will, coupled with Xuanzang's own sensitivity in Buddhism, are particularly good at this system of spiritual practice born out of Buddhism.

Under the teaching of Chen Sheng for the past three years, Xuanzang has steadily reached the realm of the third consciousness in the spiritual practice system.

In March 618 AD, Emperor Sui Yang died.

In May, Yang Youchan was located in Li Yuan.

Li Yuan proclaimed himself emperor, established the Tang Dynasty, named the country "Tang", changed Yuan Wude, made Chang'an the capital, and the Sui Dynasty fell.

Due to the long-term war, the national economy was severely damaged, and the population dropped from 800 million households in the early years of the Sui Dynasty to more than [-] million households.

But although the world at this moment is not completely stable, and the early Tang Dynasty has not completely ruled the world, it is already better than the wars and chaos in the previous few years.

At this time, Chen Sheng took Xuanzang to travel around in Sichuan and Shu.

In addition to helping some refugees in the land of Sichuan and Shu, he took Xuanzang to visit Buddhist temples in various places to study.

In the in-depth study and understanding of various Buddhist scriptures, Xuanzang's speed of learning the spiritual practice system is also increasing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In addition, he also took Xuanzang to go up the mountain to fight tigers and catch fish all day long, so as to increase Xuanzang's actual combat experience and courage, and strive to train Xuanzang into a humanoid Gundam of this era as much as possible, so as to ensure his future journey to the west. as smoothly as possible.

In this way, after staying in Sichuan and Sichuan for another two years, Xuanzang strengthened his body and mind simultaneously under Chen Sheng's teaching, and finally reached the fifth consciousness state in the spiritual practice system.

And Chen Sheng also never forgot to search for the monster's vitality during the process of cultivating his apprentice.

Until this day, 620 AD.

Chen Sheng vaguely felt a ray of the monster's vitality. Although it was only fleeting, Chen Sheng still located it.

It is not far from them, and it is also in the land of Sichuan and Sichuan.

So Chen Sheng took Xuanzang to a village at the foot of a mountain.

The people in the village all looked panic-stricken, and they were deeply wary of Chen Sheng and Xuan Zang, two strangers who came out of the blue.

"Benefactor, may I ask..."

"boom!"

As soon as Xuanzang spoke, he was interrupted by the sound of closing the door.

This is the fifth time someone has shut the door.

Xuanzang, who considers himself a pretty boy, has suffered more rejections in this small mountain village today than he has experienced in the past 18 years.

In the past, with his handsome and fair face, he was able to make most people willing to stop and listen to him.

But today, this face seems to be out of order in this village.

When the villagers saw his face, instead of kindly inviting him in, they hurriedly closed the door with fear on their faces.

Seeing this, Xuanzang walked behind helplessly and looked at Chen Sheng who was sitting on the stone chair in the corner.

"Master, everyone here seems to be afraid of me. Is my face very fierce?"

Xuanzang touched his fair and tender face, revealing an expression of doubting life.

"Maybe what they are afraid of is not you, but something deeper."

Chen Sheng said calmly.

When Xuanzang was asking around for any abnormalities, he also tried to find out some things himself.

I have some superficial understanding of what happened here.

"Something deeper..."

"So is there really a monster here?"

Xuanzang became visibly excited, raised his arm and squeezed his own muscles, obviously looking forward to meeting the demon for a long time.

During the five years of practicing with Chen Sheng, he punched big bugs and kicked bears, but he never beat the monsters that the master said.

Except for the monsters in the wooden box that Master asked him to recite sutras to suppress every day, he had never seen any other monsters at all.

According to the master, the large army of demons has long been wiped out by Yong Zhou, who belongs to the master, and Yong Zhou himself mostly went to a certain extremely secret place to do an extremely secret important event.

Except for the ray of power left by Master here, there are not many other extraordinary powers in this world.

Therefore, he had some expectations for the monster that finally appeared.

"more or less."

"According to some news I heard from afar, the people in this village often meet a woman on the mountain recently. Her appearance is white, tender, beautiful, and charming. She is so beautiful that she is not like ordinary people."

"Recently, pigs, cattle, sheep and chickens have been stolen frequently in the village, so this beautiful woman has become a mountain spirit among the villagers."

"Everyone became insecure, for fear that someday a monster would come to the door."

"In addition, I did feel the vitality of the monster nearby, so there should really be a monster on the mountain here."

"I just don't know what kind of creature this ray of monster vitality is attached to."

Chen Sheng briefly talked about the news he had just learned.

And Xuanzang was stunned at first when he heard the words, and then he was shocked: "So I was treated as a monster because of my great appearance?"

"You boy, you are so shameless."

Hearing this, Chen Sheng rolled his eyes helplessly.

Then he thought about why this monster didn't hurt people, but just plundered some cattle, sheep, pigs and chickens.

It stands to reason that every ray of life that was scattered by that abyss monster should be as pernicious as the urine of the abyss.

What does it mean that the best intelligent creatures do not eat, but only eat cattle, sheep, pigs and chickens?
But Xuanzang turned a deaf ear to Chen Sheng's complaints, and walked towards the mountains not far away with a face full of anger, turning his head when he saw that Chen Sheng didn't keep up.

"Master, let's go."

"We must not let this monster cause trouble for the common people!"

Xuanzang's tone was firm.

He even took out the wooden box Chen Sheng handed over to him for safekeeping.

The three monsters in this wooden box have been gradually stamped with Xuanzang's mark after Xuanzang's five years of chanting scriptures and the power of spiritual practice system to suppress them.

It can be said that Xuanzang could summon the three monsters in the wooden box at any time, and obey his orders to serve him for a few minutes.

Seeing this, Chen Sheng smiled and shook his head, then slowly got up and walked towards Xuanzang.

No matter why this monster doesn't harm people, it's always right to go and see first, and he can go back if he solves the life of these fleeing monsters as soon as possible.
