Quick Travel: From Beginner to Master

So, why did the mature and prudent Tang Seng in the book become like this?

In fact, it all started with his carelessness in choosing the wrong family for reincarnation.

As we all know, Jin Chanzi was severely punished for his laziness during the lectures at Lingshan. He was demoted to the mortal world by his teacher Tathagata and started a journey of experience. He had to complete the set mission of learning scriptures, and only after his merits were completed could he return to the West.

In his first nine lives, he was eaten by the water monster Sha Monk who lived in the Liusha River, so he was never able to complete his mission. So far, he has been reincarnated in his tenth life.

According to God's arrangement, this life's Jin Chanzi, also known as Tang Seng, should have been born in a family of officials. His father was Chen Guangrui, the new champion scholar, and his mother was Yin Wenjiao, the daughter of the current prime minister.

But Tang Seng, who had died tragically nine times before, was really anxious to reincarnate. Before he could figure out the specific situation, he threw himself into the belly of the woman with the same name, Li Wenjiao.

Who is Li Wenjiao?

She is a distant relative of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. Although the relationship is not very close, she is included in the scope of the emperor's relatives. With this status, who in the capital would dare not to give her some respect?

Li Wenjiao's husband is also very impressive. He is the youngest official of the third rank in the dynasty. He is upright and has outstanding achievements, so he is deeply appreciated by the emperor.

Since the couple got married, they have played the piano and played the piano in harmony, and they have a deep love for each other. Counting Tang Seng who just came into the world, they have a total of two sons and one daughter.

For their youngest child, Li Wenjiao definitely treated him as a heart and soul, and her husband, who was always serious, would unconsciously soften his expression when he saw his youngest son.

Tang Seng's brother and sister treated him well. Whenever they saw anything new when they went out, they would take a copy back to their younger brother.

In this almost arrogant family atmosphere, Tang Seng grew up as he pleased.

He is the reincarnation of Jin Chanzi, and of course there is something special about him. Not to mention he eats an astonishing amount, and he is also exceptionally smart.

When learning poetry and calligraphy, he can memorize it from memory, and he can also draw inferences from one instance to other cases. When learning martial arts, others can demonstrate it at least twice before he can practice it in a decent manner.

But such an outstanding Tang Seng was born without any ambition.

He neither wants to gain fame and become an official in the court, nor does he want to go to the battlefield to make contributions. His biggest wish is to eat all over Chang'an with his friends.

However, his friends were not enthusiastic about this matter. Once they received Tang Seng's invitation, they would often find various reasons to refuse.

For no other reason, just the fact that Tang Seng didn't like to pay the bill was enough for them to stay away.

When they were not familiar with each other, this guy had tricked them one by one. Even though his parents later sent people to make up for the money for food, they could not save Tang Seng's image of taking advantage.

What's even more surprising is that when the two sides met again, he was able to come over and say hello as if nothing had happened, which showed how thick-skinned he was.

That year, Tang Monk followed his mother to Jiafu Temple to offer incense. The abbot of the temple saw that he had unique wisdom and actually came to persuade him to escape into Buddhism.

Tang Seng thought for a while and agreed without any hesitation.

Anyway, I have nothing to do, so it would be good to experience the feeling of being a monk. If the monk becomes uncomfortable in the future, the worst he can do is return to secular life and return home.

With such a bold idea, it didn't take long for Tang Monk to be ordained and become a monk at Jiafu Temple.

I never thought I would stay here for many years.

At that time, the emperor held a water and land Dharma assembly, and everyone recommended the famous Tang Seng to preside over the Dharma assembly.

Then suddenly a venerable person from the West appeared, presented Monk Tang with a brocade cassock and a nine-ring tin staff, and instructed him to go to Daleiyin Temple, a hundred and eighty thousand miles away, to obtain the true scriptures. He said that it would be beneficial if he succeeded. .

When the emperor saw that he could win the favor of the venerable master in heaven, he immediately took him to become his brother. He treated him with care and concern for several days, and rewards poured into Jiafu Temple like flowing water.

Tang Seng had never thought of traveling far away from the capital before, and was still hesitating whether to ask for the scriptures. But looking at the emperor's attitude, he was afraid that he would have to go even if he didn't.

Sure enough, soon someone from the palace came to convey His Majesty's wishes and ordered him to quickly go to the West to obtain scriptures.

After hearing the news, his family rushed to see him. His father sighed while reading the imperial edict, his mother held her handkerchief and cried again and again, and his brother looked at him with worry.

As for his sister, she was pregnant again a few years ago, and now her belly has grown so big that she can no longer move around freely, so this time the only one who came to visit him was her brother-in-law.

Seeing that his relatives were so worried about him, Tang Seng felt really uncomfortable.

But he still had a smile on his face, and told his parents in a relaxed tone that Chang'an City was very big, but it had an end after all. After so many years, he had already visited it all, and it was time to go and see the distant places.

The father was stunned for a moment, looked at him with emotion, and said after a while: "Okay, my son has ambitions, and I am really happy for you as a father!"

His mother wiped away her tears, managed to gather her emotions, and went to help him pack his luggage.

On the day of departure, the emperor led hundreds of officials to see him off and did not stop until he was outside the city.

After drinking the farewell wine and saying goodbye to everyone, Tang Monk turned around neatly and embarked on an unknown journey fearlessly.
