In the Journey to the West world, there is an item that has appeared a lot of times, this is Li Shimin's customs clearance document to Tang Seng, this item not only proves the identity of Tang Seng, but also the most important thing for Tang Seng to travel all the way west.
So what is written on the customs clearance document that will make many kings very jealous? In fact, the content in it is not terrible, it is terribleThis customs clearance document was promulgated by Li Shimin himself, if anyone dared to bully Tang Seng after seeing the customs clearance document, even Lingshan would not be able to protect them.
Master and apprentice four).Customs clearance documents are necessary items for the ancients to go out, and people who do not have customs clearance documents are equivalent to "black households".Not only can you not enter the city, but even the most basic purchase items, accommodation, etc. cannot be realized, but the customs clearance documents are also graded, and the ordinary customs clearance documents are just a simple ID card, such as the current "passport", and Tang Seng in "Journey to the West".The customs clearance document is more like a "pass"., he can go wherever he wants, and few people dare to stop him.
In the fiftieth chapter of the original work, the content of the customs clearance document was written:"Emperor Li of the Tang Dynasty in the Eastern Soil, drove before the imperial brother Holy Monk Chen Xuanzang. If you pass through the countries of the Western Provinces, you will not destroy the good karma, and you will do it according to it."In this customs clearance document, there are three main parts, which are to explain the identity of Tang Seng, the reason for Tang Seng's westward journey and the destination of Tang Seng.
And these three things can actually be regarded as one thing, that is, the two identities of Tang Seng are named:Li Shimin's younger brother, the bridge between the Tang Dynasty and the West Heaven, With these two identities, Tang Seng is really not easy to mess with, let alone bullying him, Tang Seng but whenever he is unhappy, a small country may suffer a catastrophe.
The first is the relationship between Tang Seng and Li Shimin, in the customs clearance document, the word "royal brother" is enough to explain everything, Although this identity has no real power, but behind it is indeed Li Shimin's recognition, if these two words are replaced by the word side by side, is it better for everyone to understand?
Although Tang Seng has no official position and no royal blood, he is Li Shimin's half-brother, if it is placed in other dynasties, it is indispensable to say "If I come in person", if you offend him, it is equivalent to directly offending Li Shimin.
For example, a small country like the Black Chicken Country may encounter a catastrophe at any timeAfter all, aside from the power of gods and ghosts, Datang was the number one power on paper at that time, which is also the reason why all kinds of cows, ghosts, snakes and gods dare not make trouble around Datang.
Since he already has the identity of the royal brother, why do all the kings have to stamp the customs clearance documents along the way? A lot of people thinkThis is just Li Shimin's "inspection of homework".If Tang Seng hadn't been to these places, he would definitely not have reached Lingshan, which is also a way to test the true scriptures.
But in fact, this is also Li Shimin's umbrella for Tang Seng, you must know that Tang Seng has a long way to go west, even if the Tang Dynasty is beyond its reach, so it is necessary to stamp all the way in various countries to show the protection of Tang SengThese countries stand on the same side as the Tang Dynasty, and once something happens to Tang Seng, these countries will take the lead in sending troops.
Master and apprentice four).Finally, there is another backer of Tang Seng: Lingshan,The customs clearance document clearly states that Tang Seng's destination is "Xitian", that is, the Lingshan forces, if a country can ignore the deterrence of the Tang Dynasty because it is far away from the Tang Dynasty, then can it ignore the deterrence of the Lingshan? You must know that as a world-level religion, Lingshan also has a powerful power in the mortal world, which is also something that other countries cannot ignore.
With the blessing of these identities, Tang Seng naturally has no scruplesIn every country he visited, the king had to meet him personallyIt can be seen from the book that the number of times Sun Wukong turned into a fate is not much, and he basically relies on the supplies of various countries to hurry, and the key is that these supplies do not cost money, and they do not violate Tang Seng's code of conduct as a monk.
As a specific scripture learner in Lingshan, after selecting Tang Seng to go to the west to learn scripturesLingshan has actually arranged everything behind his back, but there are some things in the mortal world that the gods and Buddhas in Lingshan can't interfere with at will, Therefore, Tang Seng's endorsement must have the power of the mortal world, which has the preconditions for Journey to the West: the Dragon King was killed, the water and land puja, Guanyin appeared, etc.
Li Shimin) and Tang Seng did not learn the scriptures onceTang Seng went through ten reincarnations before he successfully obtained the true scriptures, If you extrapolate according to the timeline, his first nine lives were in the turbulent times of the Sui Dynasty and the last years of the Sui Dynasty, when the Central Plains regime was not enough to deter the surrounding small countries, so Tang Seng's road to learning scriptures was extremely bumpy.
But with the emergence of Li Shimin, everything has changed, Li Shimin's strength is undoubted, and the Tang Dynasty represented by Li Shimin also has enough deterrent power to the surrounding areaTherefore, while Li Shimin was alive, Guanyin simply arranged the most "insurance" team for Tang Seng, which allowed Tang Seng to learn the scriptures once, but even so, Guanyin and Rulai and others still encountered a situation where they needed to take action, which shows the risks.
Four masters and apprentices) But fortunately, Datang at this time is indeed strong enough,Close to a customs clearance document solves a lot of trouble for Lingshan, otherwise, relying only on Sun Wukong and others, Tang Seng may not have experienced ninety-nine eighty-one difficulties.
Take Che Chi Guo as an exampleIf Li Shimin's customs clearance documents were not in hand, they would have almost no possibility of passing through ChechiguoEither rely on Sun Wukong's somersault cloud to fly over directly, or kill the three national teachers strongly, but this is bound to offend the king of Che Chi, and a big war is inevitable.
The customs clearance document in the hands of Tang Seng is so powerful that modern people can't imagine itIt's like the state has made a passport for us privately, it reads: "Mr. XX has the right to directly command the army, and he will carry some nuclear warheads on this outing, please let the relevant countries release them", perhaps such a passport can be comparable to the deterrent power of Tang Seng's customs clearance documents.
passport) and the customs clearance document seems to be a product of the mortal world, but the actual energy is far more than that of Sun Wukong and others, you must know that in the various countries on the way to the west, basically every country has a part of the role that can make the gods and ghosts back down.
If Tang Seng relied on the passage of the document and let these countries continue to send experts to escort him, Tang Seng could still reach Lingshan, but he would learn from the scriptures in this wayIt does not reflect the role of the true scripture at all, but makes Datang's deterrent power further skyrocket, when Li Shimin saw that he was so good, it was estimated that there would be nothing to do with Lingshan.
