Journey to the West begins with a full-level Tang monk

Chapter 1387 Dragon and Tiger Pass

"Amitabha……"

Tang Seng proclaimed the Buddha's name.Said: "What the almsgiver said is just right. The poor monk has been chanting scriptures and worshiping Buddha in the monastery. He has never asked about the outside world. The ancient temples in the deep mountains spend the spring and autumn. There are no Jiazi in the mountains. The cold is so cold that you don't know the years. How do you know the outside world?"

"This time the poor monk went out to travel here, unfortunately he was caught here, and he still feels a little baffled. So there are still many things I want to ask the benefactor for advice."

This is what Tang Seng has already thought up, otherwise he would not easily ask those things that the world must already know.

Doesn't that make you look too ignorant and weird?
As the saying goes, the hand that grabs people is short, and the mouth that eats people is short.

The man ate a white flour cake from Tang Seng, knowing that he had nothing to repay, seeing Tang Seng speak so elegantly and politely.At first glance, he was an eminent monk, and he felt very comfortable talking with this person, so he said very enthusiastically: "Master, at first glance, he is a kind-hearted person, but this evil world makes a monk who practices Zen and worships Buddha Not being able to have a piece of pure land is really infuriating."

When Tang Seng heard this person's conversation, he knew that this person was not an ordinary farmer, so he asked directly: "What is the business of the benefactor?"

The man smiled wryly and said, "I once studied for a few days, and was an enlightenment teacher for young children in the village."

"It turned out to be a scholar, the poor monk is disrespectful!"

Tang Seng nodded slightly, raised his palm with one hand and said.

In any country, any country, scholars are especially respected.

There is a saying that everything is inferior, but reading is high. This is the inherent thinking of the world.

"Oh...you are a scholar who is useless! It's a pity that no matter how much you read, you will still be caught by the army..."

Tang Seng didn't wait for the man to say a few words of modesty and politeness, and continued to speak: "Just now the poor monk has said that I have been chanting scriptures and worshiping Buddha in the deep mountains. I don't know how the world is like outside? Please explain a few things, sir, as long as Mr. Fan knows Everything can be said."

The private school gentleman recalled the taste of white flour cakes, sighed and said: "There are so many things, I really don't know where to start. According to my speculation, we are likely to be sent to the battlefield. Because we Great Xia and Great Jin are fighting at the border. I heard that the imperial court plans to continue to recruit troops and send them to the battlefield, so I guessed this."

Tang Seng nodded slightly when he heard the words, and didn't say anything, but until now, he didn't know that the country where this place is located is called the Great Xia Kingdom.

"Then we may have gone to Dragon Tiger Pass?"

Tang Seng didn't beat around the bush at all, so he asked tentatively.

The man looked at Tang Seng in surprise, and said: "It seems that the master is not ignorant of external affairs, but he even knows about Longhuguan? Yes, Longhuguan is indeed on the border between the Great Xia Kingdom and the Great Jin Kingdom. One of the important passes and one of the battlefields where the two countries are fighting."

Speaking of this, Mr. Private School paused for a while, then lowered his voice and said: "I heard that the emperor sent the third prince to guard the Dragon and Tiger Pass this time. There will definitely be a fight between dragons and tigers there. I don't know how many people will die in this battle!"

Tang Seng heard something wrong, and asked again: "Are there other battlefields besides Dragon and Tiger Pass?"

The man nodded and said: "That's right, that's right. There are three key passes in the battlefield with the Great Jin Kingdom. I heard that the first prince guards Fuyun Pass, the second prince guards Zijin Pass, and the third prince guards the Dragon and Tiger Pass." It’s just that if we are sent to the battlefield, we can’t really say which one of these three passes, but one thing is certain, we are all going to the same place, and we will not be separated halfway .”

Hearing what the man said, Tang Seng asked strangely: "How can you see it?"

The man replied: "I am from Dawangzhuang. This village is relatively richer. There are some big families in the village, and there are more young and strong. This time I was arrested three days ago. I was arrested together with me." Yes, there are four young adults."

"It stands to reason that since I was arrested at the same time, I should be sent to the same place. However, the officers and soldiers saw that I was a frail scholar. I was relatively thin, so they discussed sending the three young and middle-aged men to another place, and sent me to this place. place. Although they didn’t specify where they would send it to.”

"However, master, you see, those who are sent here are all thin and weak people. Not to mention going to war, it is very difficult for us to survive on our own. Obviously we are treated differently, but since we are caught here, everything Already, we can’t rely on our own will to transfer, everything can only be resigned to fate. So, we have accepted our fate, but it’s a pity that the master, a monk who saves all sentient beings, also goes to the dunya to suffer so much. It’s really embarrassing People sigh."

Hearing what this person said, Tang Seng savored it carefully, and it really made him think of some clues.

The same as that person, when the officers and soldiers arrested him, they also said that they would send him to that place, but the other party still didn't say exactly where that place was.

Tang Seng can only guess for himself, if it is really sent to the battlefield, then it is likely to be one of the three critical passes.

But here comes the question, why did the system give itself the task of entering Longhu Pass with the army?
The system will never give itself this task for no reason. Judging from past experience, there must be something strange in it.

Moreover, why should the three princes be treated differently because each guards a strategic pass?
At least this group of emaciated common people went to a certain prince guarding the gate, so there must be differences among the three princes.

From the perspective of differential treatment, the emperor's attitude towards the three princes is also different, or some of them treat them differently, but those who can do this must be big figures in the court.

After trying to understand this point, Tang Seng felt that he had grasped the key to the problem, so he asked again: "This gentleman, the eldest prince, the second prince and the third prince, have you ever heard of them, what kind of people are they?"

When the man heard Tang Seng asking about this matter, he looked around quickly to make sure that the officers and soldiers outside the fence were still some distance away. Unexpectedly, he was overheard, so he lowered his voice and said, "It's very dangerous to talk about royal affairs." Yes, but since the master asked, I will tell the master what I know. However, don't be overheard, they say that ants are greedy for life, although the chance of surviving on the battlefield is very small, but in case How about surviving? Who doesn't want to live an extra day?"

"Okay, then let's not speak softly."

Tang Seng nodded slightly and said.

that person.After pondering for a moment, he seemed to be sorting out his thoughts, then he approached Tang Seng and said, "According to my deduction, we might really be sent to Dragon and Tiger Pass!"

Hearing the words: "Tang Seng asked in amazement, how can I see it? Mr. Yu must explain clearly!"
