Conferred Gods: Start with a Phoenix clone

Chapter 1637 Is this Tianzhu or a dream?
The reason why Sanzang changed his Buddhist name was because he was really strong, nine feet tall, with broad shoulders and a thick waist. If he stood on the bridge and shouted loudly, he could scare ordinary people with cardiovascular diseases to death. He was the type of person who would say, "If Buddhism can't be explained, I also know a little bit about fighting."

The empress's reign was named "Shenlong". In the 13th year of Shenlong, Sanzang left Chang'an City without any attendants and set out on the journey alone, traveling through mountains and rivers. With his extraordinary physique and sharp mind, he turned danger into safety and finally arrived in India 14 years later.

"Is this really India?" Looking at the scenery in front of him, Sanzang was full of doubts.

India at that time was completely different from the scene he had imagined, with foreign monks and people from other regions gathering together.

It cannot be said that the political model of the capital, prefectures, and states has nothing to do with the Tang Dynasty, but it can be said that it is exactly the same.

The founding emperor here is also revered as Taizu, and he was followed by Emperor Taizong. The founding time of the country seems to be before the Tang Dynasty. Now more than four hundred years have passed, and it is almost five hundred years.

The previous emperor's temple name was Zhezong. The current emperor of Tianzhu likes painting and ink, and his favorite thing is to draw dragons. The current reign is the 28th year of Huanglong.

Sanzang walked alone on the streets of the Indian capital, exhausted both physically and mentally. Seeing an India that was completely different from what he had imagined, he couldn't help but feel distraught. He said goodbye to the passers-by who introduced the situation of India to him and walked forward in a daze.

The clothing, speech and behavior of the people here are no different from those in the Tang Dynasty.

I set out in the 13th year of Shenlong, walked for 14 years, and arrived in Tianzhu in the 28th year of Huanglong. Did I really reach Tianzhu?
He followed the crowd into the street market. The passers-by looked and dressed exactly like Datang, so he didn't look out of place.

As he walked, his keen intuition was triggered and he wanted to dodge sideways, but he had been distracted for too long, and there were many pedestrians around him, so he was a whole beat late.

With a light "bang" sound, a hydrangea drew an arc and hit his head.

Sanzang looked towards the platform in astonishment, and saw a young and beautiful woman looking at him with a half-smile.

The Tang Dynasty is throwing a bouquet of flowers, are you in India also throwing a bouquet of flowers?
Why did it hit him? He looked around and immediately realized that he was the only monk nearby, tall and good-looking, so it was not surprising that it hit him.

Sanzang was extremely confused and really didn't want to get involved in worldly affairs. Without thinking, he turned around and ran away.

He was very fast, and many monsters along the way from the Tang Dynasty to India could not outrun him.

He couldn't run as fast as he could in a busy city, but he thought he could run far away.

After running for half a mile, she suddenly heard someone calling out from behind, "Stop right there, monk! My embroidered ball hit you! You have to follow me!"

Sanzang waved his hand behind him and said, "Lady, please spare me. If you are interested, I can recommend three state masters from Jinping Prefecture. Masters Huli, Luli, and Yangli are all pillars of Buddhism. Their Buddhist cultivation far surpasses mine. They will definitely be your perfect match."

He wanted to speed up and get rid of this unknown Indian princess.

But he didn't expect that when he accelerated, the Indian princess also accelerated. This speed was obviously not that of an ordinary person.

"Are you a human or a demon?" In a dark alley, Sanzang grabbed the sleeve of the Indian princess and asked harshly. He had fought almost all the way from Chang'an to this so-called India, and he had subdued at least 800 demons and monsters. At this moment, his face was full of murderous intent.

Princess Tianzhu chuckled: "You are such an interesting monk. So what if you are a human or a demon?"

Sanzang's answer was simple: "If it is a human, I will flee immediately. If it is a demon, I will exorcise it for India."

Princess Tianzhu pointed to both sides and asked, "Are you sure this is Tianzhu?"

Sanzang's face suddenly changed. This was also what he was most worried about.

He asked, "What does the donor mean?" "Because I love the beauty of flowers, I have come to India to seek the moon. I have no other intention than to share my happiness with you and fulfill my destiny with Tang Monk." The princess of India said softly, "You and I are destined to be together in this life. Why don't you give up this boring mission of obtaining the scriptures and go with me to enjoy the freedom and happiness together? What do you think?"

Sanzang angrily shouted, "Ridiculous! I don't even know you! Get out of here immediately. Because you're a woman, I won't hit you!"

"What a surly monk." Princess Tianzhu shook her head in disappointment. "You'll get to know me."

She took a step to the left, passed through the wall, and soon disappeared.

Sanzang turned around and left, walking decisively without a trace of hesitation.

He walked out of the city and into the wilderness, and for a moment he felt that his fourteen years of hard work were just a dream. He didn't think that the places where Emperor Taizu and Emperor Taizong were were India. These should be dreams caused by his obsession. He should wake up now, right?
He tried several methods, such as hitting, shouting, and running, but he couldn't wake himself up successfully.

Just as he was feeling lost and uneasy, he discovered a vast garden not far away.

Even at night, from his vantage point, he could still see the garden glittering with gold. What was going on? Paving the ground with gold bricks? Was it really that extravagant?
He walked slowly over to take a closer look.

I saw a tall old man sitting alone in front of the door, playing chess with himself.

"Old man, I am honored to meet you." Sanzang put his hands together and bowed to greet him.

The old man glanced at him casually, and Sanzang felt that the other party was very imposing, as if he was a big man who was in charge of billions of lives. But when he wanted to take a closer look, the old man's eyes became normal again.

"Master, there's no need to be so polite. I see you look a little flustered. What difficulties have you encountered?"

Sanzang hesitated for a moment and said, "Poor monk Sanzang, may I ask your name, sir?"

"Haha, no one has mentioned my name for a long time. I vaguely remember that my last name is Deng, and I am ranked ninth in the clan."

"Nine Lords."

"It's just a title. Master, please be casual."

Sanzang didn't sense any evil aura from the old man named Deng Jiu, and the other party didn't look like a human, which was very strange.

He asked the question he wanted to know most: "Excuse me, Master Jiu, is this really Tianzhu?"

Deng Jiugong asked him, "If it's not Tianzhu, then where else could it be?"

"Could it be in my dream?"

Deng Jiugong laughed loudly: "Haha, you monk, you are too arrogant. How could this prosperous world and the vast mountains and rivers be your dream? This is..."

He didn't say what it was, but lowered his voice: "But this is definitely not India."

Sanzang asked anxiously, "Then I have been walking for fourteen years and still haven't reached India?"

Deng Jiugong pointed to the place in front of him and drew a circle. "You, with no one to guide you, have wasted fourteen years of hard work. Now you are still walking in circles in the courtyard."
