Journey to the West: Interpretation and Teaching Disciples

Chapter 146 Zhang Xing enlists in the army

Everyone in the hall heard the sound and looked towards the place where the sound came from.Just in time, I saw a young man in a purple Taoist robe, a black jade Taoist crown, and a whisk in his hand, standing outside the hall and looking at everyone.

Obviously, it was the Taoist robed man who said what he just said, and before everyone in the hall could react, several guards ran over.

As soon as the guards saw Zhang Xing, they would go forward to arrest him, but when they saw Taizong, they all saluted again.Taizong didn't react until this time.

Seeing the guards approaching, Taizong waved the guards to stand aside, and turned to the young Taoist priest and asked, "I don't know why the chief wants to break into my palace? And he also wants to prevent my younger brother from going west to seek the scriptures?"

Hearing Taizong's question, Zhang Xing was not afraid, and bowed to Taizong.Zhang Xing said: "Your Majesty the King of Tang, Yuxuzi Poor Dao is a disciple of Guangchengzi, the head of the Twelve Golden Immortals. I heard that the King of Tang is going to send the Great Tang Sage Monk to the west to obtain the scriptures. The journey to the west is difficult. I don't know how many dangers and tribulations there will be, and there will be many demons and ghosts on the way to the west. I don't know if the holy monk is willing to go?"

Zhang Xing first introduced his own background, and then explained to Xuanzang that the journey to the west was difficult, and finally asked Xuanzang if he had the determination to go west.

Zhang Xing introduced his background. Most of the people present had never heard of it, but there were still a few people who were a little moved.Obviously heard something.

It was Zhang Xing who asked Xuanzang, and the people present all looked at Xuanzang, wondering how he would answer.

Xuanzang heard Zhang Xing's talk about the hardships of the journey to the west, and a flash of panic flashed in his eyes, but he calmed down in an instant, which made Zhang Xing, who had been observing Xuanzang, nodded secretly. After Xuanzang calmed down, I bowed to Zhang Xing, and said: "Although the road to the west is difficult, I have made a great vow. If I don't take the scriptures, I will fall into hell forever. It is probably because of the favor of the king, I have to be loyal to the ears of the country. I hereby Going is really vague, good or bad is uncertain. After I go, it may only be three or two years, or five or seven years, but if you see the pine branches facing east in the mountain gate, I will come back; otherwise, I will definitely not return."

After hearing Xuanzang's words, everyone present, whether they believed in Buddhism or not, had to say to Xuanzang, "Good master!"

Zhang Xing nodded when he heard this, and said with a smile: "The mage is very ambitious. Although the poor Taoist is separated from the mage and the monk, I have to admire the courage of the mage. I will not lie to the mage. I am not talented, but I can learn it." For some Taoism, I would like to accompany the mage on the westward journey so as to take care of the mage, what does the mage think?"

Hearing that the young Taoist in front of him said that he knew some Taoism, Xuanzang was overjoyed, and was about to agree, but then he thought about it, his journey to the west was difficult and difficult, and he didn't know what would happen, but the young man in front of him said he could do some Taoism Daoism, but if he's lying, or just some cover-up, he just wants to hang out and have fun, wouldn't that hurt him?
Thinking of this, Xuanzang bowed to Zhang Xing, and said: "Fellow Taoist, I am willing to accompany the poor monk on the westward journey, but the journey to the west is difficult, and there may be things that are harmful to human life. Fellow Taoist is very righteous, and the poor monk is grateful! Come back!"

As soon as Xuanzang finished speaking, Zhang Xing roughly guessed what Xuanzang was thinking. Thinking of this, Zhang Xing smiled slightly.He stretched out his hand and shot out with a Heavenly Thunder Talisman.

Seeing that Zhang Xinghua didn't say anything, everyone took out a piece of talisman paper. Seeing this, they thought that Zhang Xing was going to harm Taizong, so they hurriedly surrounded Zhang Xing.Fortunately, Zhang Xing just shot the talisman paper out of the house.Everyone was wondering why Zhang Xing did this.Suddenly, "Boom!" A thunderbolt fell outside the palace, making everyone jump in fright, but at this moment, everyone looked at Zhang Xing differently!

"Good! Good! Good!" He yelled three times in a row, Taizong was the first to react, looked at Zhang Xing and said: "I didn't expect that the Taoist priest still has magic skills, so I will now seal you as the guardian of the Westward Journey." French teacher, I will hand over the danger to the imperial brother on the way to the west!" Xuanzang didn't agree, but Taizong first helped Xuanzang to agree, and Xuanzang didn't have too much to see that Zhang Xing had magic skills with him. What did you say!He just saluted Zhang Xing.

Zhang Xing didn't really care much about what kind of national teacher he was granted by Taizong. What he cared about was that he finally fulfilled the mission of the master, and also fulfilled his dream to join the team of learning scriptures. But after all, he was still in the palace. Zhang Xing He also thanked Emperor Taizong.

Afterwards, things became easier, because with Zhang Xing's joining, when the two guards sent by Taizong and Xuanzang were only sent to the border of the Tang Dynasty, Zhang Xing let them go back!Nor did they let them die in the wild as in Journey to the West.Xuanzang didn't say anything about it. After all, Zhang Xing and Xuanzang had a good chat along the way, and arranged the guards well, so Xuanzang handed over all the miscellaneous matters to Zhang Xing.

After leaving the border of the Tang Dynasty, Xuanzang's mood improved a lot. When he first got up in the morning, he galloped on his horse.Zhang Xing had no choice but to follow Xuanzai.

Not long after walking, Zhang Xing, who was following Xuanzang, suddenly saw Xuanzang's horse neighing in grief, and then saw Xuanzang fell into a cave.

Xuanzang fell into the cave, and in a panic, he heard another shout: "A monk has been caught! A monk has been caught!"

Xuanzang turned his head and saw fifty or sixty little demons with animal heads running over.Xuanzang has seen monsters!Immediately scared silly!
Zhang Xing, who was behind Xuanzang, rushed towards Xuanzang when the little monsters rushed out. At the same time, with a wave of his hand, Zhang Xing led a dozen pieces of talisman towards the little monsters.Immediately, there was a beautiful firework, what fireballs, giant trees, lightning, tree vines, ice blades and other things flew towards those little monsters, killing a large number of them at once.

Those little monsters were the masters of bullying. When Zhang Xing waved his hand, a large number of his brothers died. The remaining little monsters were so frightened that they ran away in a hurry before they even had time to say hello.Zhang Xing also ignored the little monsters, walked to the pothole, found a rope and pulled Xuanzang up.

Once on the ground, Xuanzang was startled when he saw many dead bodies lying on the ground.If Zhang Xing was not still by his side, he might have passed out on the spot.

After a short rest, Xuanzang also recovered.Looking at the dead bodies all over the place, Xuanzang looked at Zhang Xing and said, "Master, why did you kill so many lives?"

Hearing Xuanzang's words, Zhang Xing was also speechless for a moment. In his previous life, Zhang Xing knew that Xuanzang was pedantic when he read Journey to the West. Now that he heard Xuanzang's words, he felt sad for his grandson monkey!
In order to keep Xuanzang from talking about himself, Zhang Xing and Xuanzang talked all afternoon about the theory that killing demons is not a crime, and Xuanzang reluctantly let Zhang Xing go.

For this reason, Zhang Xing did not speak, but continued to walk forward with Xuanzang. After walking for a while, it became dark. Zhang Xing found a flat place and set up a camp with Xuanzang. He was about to rest. Thinking of a sudden shout in the grass.
