Tang Seng sat calmly on the horse while Ye Chen held the reins for him. The two of them did not say a word along the way. Ye Chen had some doubts in his mind, but when he saw that Tang Seng had been meditating with his eyes closed, he was too embarrassed to ask.
"Ye Chen, let's speed up. If we keep moving at this speed, I don't know how long it will take to reach Spirit Mountain," Ye Chen suddenly said as he led the reins of the horse slowly.
Ye Chen turned his head and found that Tang Seng had opened his eyes. He smiled at Tang Seng and said, "Master, there's no hurry. The road to the west is long and difficult. No matter how fast we go, we won't be able to reach Spirit Mountain in a few days."
"Not really." Tang Seng shook his head. "You must know that a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Besides, many little drops make an ocean. If we take one or two steps faster every day, we might be able to reach Spirit Mountain a few months earlier in the future and obtain the scripture."
"Master, you're right." Ye Chen nodded. He already knew that the first calamity was about to happen, and this calamity was caused by Tang Seng's eagerness to obtain the scripture and his eagerness to succeed.
Although Ye Chen knew this, he still listened to Tang Seng because he knew that he could not change the course of the Journey to the West, nor could he save Tang Seng from one or two calamities.
If Ye Chen forcibly changed the course and saved Xuanzang from a calamity, although their journey would be much easier, there might be some problems in the future.
Putting aside whether there would be more difficult calamities in the future, Ye Chen would not be able to deal with the Bodhisattva who was secretly observing them if she tried to trip them up on the way.
Therefore, the only thing he could do was to listen to the Tang Seng. But at the same time, Ye Chen was also prepared to deal with the first disaster after the start of his journey to the west.
Ye Chen quickened his pace with his horse. He turned around to look at Tang Seng and realized that Tang Seng was not meditating this time. Instead, he seemed to be thinking about something.
Tang Seng's eyes were filled with pride. Ye Chen knew that Xuanzang was recalling the scene when the Emperor sent him off. Now, Tang Seng was in his prime.
"I'll let you laugh for a while now. I'm afraid you won't be able to laugh when you see the Tiger Spirit later," Ye Chen thought to himself. He was imagining the twisted expression on Tang Seng's face when he saw the monster for the first time.
"Ye Chen, what are you thinking about?" Tang Seng suddenly asked. This caught Ye Chen off guard. He could not possibly say that he was imagining Tang Seng's embarrassment, could he?
"No, nothing. I was just thinking about why the Bodhisattva violated the precepts for me just now." Ye Chen took the opportunity to talk about what happened just now. His purpose was to test Tang Seng's attitude towards this matter.
"The Bodhisattva is also a person who has gone through thousands of tribulations to cultivate. Although the six senses of Buddhism are pure, it is inevitable that they will violate the precepts sometimes. But I think the Bodhisattva will punish herself for this matter."
"Bullshit." Ye Chen retorted disdainfully in his heart, "You monk, I'm afraid you don't know how many tribulations you will face in the future are arranged by Guanyin, right?"
Ye Chen still answered with a "yes", but he was quite dissatisfied with Tang Seng's attitude. This Tang Seng was simply a role model. His words were watertight and he did not offend anyone.
While the two of them were talking, they had already traveled a long distance. Along the way, Ye Chen saw some hidden details, but he did not say anything. He just led the horse and continued to move forward.
Soon, Ye Chen saw a cave opening in front of him. He knew that the first disaster had arrived.
