"Good!" The Emperor suddenly exclaimed. "I didn't expect Ye Chen to have such ambitions. He is truly a role model for the younger generation of the Tang Empire!"
"However, this isn't something that I can decide on my own. Ye Chen, you have to ask for Master Xuanzang's opinion."
When the Emperor finished speaking, Ye Chen raised his head to look at him. The Emperor pointed to a monk meditating at the side. Ye Chen immediately understood. The monk was Xuanzang!
He glanced at Xuanzang, but the monk was still meditating with his eyes closed. Ye Chen could only look awkwardly at the Emperor.
"Master Xuanzang, are you willing to let Ye Chen follow you?" The Emperor saw that Xuanzang did not reply and asked personally.
Xuanzang opened his eyes at the Emperor's words. He turned to Ye Chen. "Amitabha. The journey to the west may be filled with storms and dangers. Why does Benefactor Ye insist on following me?"
Xuanzang's voice was very faint. It was different from what was written in the book. However, perhaps it was because the hall was too big, there was an echo in his voice. Ye Chen could not help but feel a little dazed.
"To prove the Great Way." After a moment of daze, Ye Chen replied softly. He recalled what the Daoist said to him that day. He wanted to know if the Great Way was in the west.
Xuanzang saw the spark of determination in Ye Chen's eyes. He knew that this young man was not doing this on the spur of the moment.
"Amitabha. Benefactor, please reconsider. The journey to the west is not as easy as you think. Benefactor is still young. Why waste your time on this?" It seemed that Xuanzang did not want Ye Chen to travel with him.
"No." Ye Chen shook his head. "This is a matter of great importance. How can it be considered a waste of time? This one believes that obtaining the true scripture is more important than anything else in the world. "
Xuanzang lowered his head and pondered for a moment. Then he suddenly looked up at Ye Chen. "Benefactor, do you know what the Great Dao is? How do you enlighten all living beings?"
"This …" Ye Chen was at a loss for words. He really didn't understand these illusory questions. What Great Dao? What Enlightenment? Actually, Ye Chen didn't care. In fact, the only thing he really cared about was his own origins.
"Alas." Ye Chen sighed. "If Venerable One does not wish for Ye Chen to follow, then Ye Chen will not follow. Ye Chen does not understand these principles."
After Ye Chen finished speaking, he looked at Xuanzang. To his surprise, Xuanzang laughed after hearing Ye Chen's words. "Benefactor, your spiritual altar is clear and untainted. You have a deep affinity with Buddhism. You are a good candidate for the journey to the west."
"Ah?" Ye Chen was confused. He didn't know how Xuanzang came to this conclusion. He had only said that he didn't know what the Great Dao was. How did this monk deduce so many things?
But this was good too. He didn't care what the monk thought. As long as he could follow him to the west to obtain the scriptures, it was fine.
"No problem." He smiled in response to Ye Chen's question.
"Your Majesty, I agree that Benefactor Ye will follow." As Xuanzang spoke, he looked at the Emperor. The Emperor only nodded. There was a trace of confusion in his eyes. Clearly, he didn't understand why Xuanzang would bring Ye Chen along.
"Benefactor Ye, please make some preparations. The journey to the west will take place in a few days. I hope that Benefactor Ye will be ready by then." Xuanzang looked at Ye Chen again.
"Alright. Thank you for your reminder. I will go back today to prepare." Ye Chen bowed. Then Xuanzang turned back to meditate.
