Chen Qi looked at the two phantom-like figures on the martial arts stage that he could not even capture with his naked eye. The sense of danger in his heart rose.
This world of the West was really too dangerous.
This was only a martial artist of the fifth rank, and it was already so terrifying.
How terrifying would the legendary demons, ghosts, gods, and Buddhas be?
"No, I want to study. I want to be a scholar who loves reading. I won't waste my time running around anymore.”
Chen Qi's heart was filled with a sense of urgency. He made up his mind that he would never come out again before he had the strength to protect himself.
Because he didn't have much time left.
It was now April of the 13th year of Zhenguan. Chen Guangrui had already become the top scholar in high school and was engaged to Yin Kaishan's daughter.
Counting the time, there were only a dozen years left until the beginning of the Journey to the West.
"No, it might not even be ten years. It might be less than a year. There's only three to five months left.”
Chen Qi suddenly thought of a time loophole in the original novel of Journey to the West.
According to the original story of Journey to the West, Chen Guangrui was the top scholar in the 13th year of Zhenguan.
At the beginning of the chapter, Wei Zheng petitioned Emperor Taizong to open the examination, and Emperor Taizong allowed it. This led to the story of Chen Guangrui's examination.
The time settings were also clearly stated: At that time, Emperor Taizong of the Great Tang had ascended the throne and changed the year title to Zhenguan. It had already been thirteen years since he ascended the throne, and the year was already in its thirties.
Then, in the same year, Chen Guangrui became the top scholar, was recruited as the emperor's son-in-law, was killed, and his wife was stolen. Then, Tang Sanzang was born and thrown into the river. He was taken in by the elders of the Golden Mountain Temple and named Jiang Liuer…This group of actions was intense. In theory, it was possible.
In other words, Tang Sanzang was born in the 13th year of Zhenguan.
Then, it was " Time flies like an arrow, the sun and the moon fly like shuttles, I don't feel that Jianglu is 18 years older ", and the elder of Jinshan Temple shaved his hair for Tang Sanzang to practice, and named him Xuanzang.
It was also in this year that Tang Sanzang understood his origins, avenged his father, and reunited with his family.
If a folk tradition was born at one year old, then seventeen years would have passed by the age of eighteen. As long as the math teacher did not teach it, it could be calculated that this year should be the 30th year of Zhenguan.
Now, Tang Sanzang's first appearance as an eminent monk was to give a lecture on Buddhism at Hua Sheng Temple in Chang 'an.
Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty took all the officials to worship Buddha and eat vegetarian food. When he saw Tang Sanzang, he gave him a perfect first impression.
Counting the time, it should be thirty years later.
However, the book clearly recorded this time: Zhenguan thirteen years, the year has already, September Jiaxu three days, Guimao good time.
More importantly, the time when Tang Sanzang set off to obtain the scriptures.
According to the description in the book, Sanzang was sent out of Chang 'an Pass by the King of Tang and many officials three days before the ninth month of the thirteenth year of Zhenguan. He did not stop for a day or two and arrived at the temple as soon as possible.
Did you see it? It was still clearly the 13th year of Zhenguan.
According to these records, from Chen Guangrui's examination of the top scholar to Tang Sanzang's departure to obtain Buddhist scriptures, at least eighteen years of time had been completed in the thirteenth year of Zhenguan.
When everyone saw this, they could not help but ask, where did the time go?
Was it because Wu Chengen was so confused as he wrote that he forgot the time before?
In the past, Chen Qi had also suspected this. However, when he really came to the world of Journey to the West, he realized that he had really misunderstood Old Wu.
This was because one could not use the time in the real world to correspond to the time in the myths.
Just like how a day in the sky was equivalent to a year on the ground.
The reason why there was such an obvious time gap in Journey to the West was because the Hongzhou that Chen Guangrui had taken up was not within the Great Tang's borders, but in a small chiliocosm controlled by the Great Tang.
The flow of time in a small world was definitely different from the Earth Immortal Realm, just like how the flow of time in the Earth Immortal Realm was different from the Immortal Realm.
It was not difficult to explain why in the 13th year of Zhenguan, Princess Gaoyang, who should have been a little radish head, could already be intimate with Monk Bianji and let her fiancé Fang Yiai guard the door.
However, Chen Qi did not have much time left!
Of course, if he could find a small chiliocosm with a faster time flow, he might be able to gain more time to accumulate and develop.
Yet, he was appointed as a ninth grade scholar of the Imperial Academy.
Where was the Hanlin Academy?
He was in Chang 'an City of the Tang Empire, so he certainly couldn't enjoy the treatment of Tang Sanzang who could turn half a year into eighteen years.
"Forget it, I can't afford to offend you.”
"This is the opening show of Journey to the West. I'd better be a good spectator!”
What could three to five months be enough for? Even if he did not eat or drink, and did not sleep or rest, it was impossible for him to become a land god in one leap.
Alright, even if he could become a Land Immortal in three to five months, it would be useless.
After all, the opening show of the Journey to the West was personally presided over by Guan Yin Bodhisattva, a mighty Buddhist figure. Wasn't a small land immortal afraid of being slapped to death if he dared to show his face?
Besides, Tang Sanzang wasn't a monkey. If he followed behind him, there wouldn't be any immortal pills or peaches to pick up. Instead, it would be very dangerous.
If he was not careful, he might be slapped to death by a Buddhist mighty figure or captured and eaten by demons and ghosts. In any case, there would not be a good ending.
Therefore, Chen Qi didn't care that he might miss the opening of the Journey to the West in Chang 'an.
Not only would there be no benefits, but it was also fraught with danger. Whoever was willing to get involved could get involved. Anyway, Chen Qi did not want to get involved at all.
After 14 years, when Tang Sanzang brought back the true scriptures, wouldn't it be nice to go and borrow them?
That was the Mahayana Sutra of Buddhism. If he could read it once, he could at least obtain a few Buddhist divine powers and 1.8 million experience points.
"However, is there really no benefit to be gained from the opening of the Journey to the West?”
Chen Qi rubbed his chin, and he couldn't help but think of a certain unlucky old dragon that was used to worship the heavens.
It was said that the Dragon King was a local tycoon. The Dragon King of the Jing River must have a lot of collections.
He felt that he might be able to get a share of this matter or get some wool from that old dragon.
