No way.

Upon hearing the news, the people rushed to the train station. Although they couldn’t stop Tang Xuanzang from leaving, they could at least see him off on his journey!

Yangcheng County Train Station!

The train conductor and several attendants were already waiting by the entrance, eagerly looking forward, as if they were expecting someone important.

And not only them.

The area around the station was filled with people who had come specifically to bid farewell to Tang Xuanzang.

Moments later.

A horse carriage slowly approached from afar.

In an instant.

The entire train station square erupted with excitement. The faces of the crowds were filled with emotion as they waved their hands at the approaching carriage.

“Look, Chief Tang has arrived.”

“Chief Tang-”

“Chief Tang is so selfless, he even donated his own salary. Such a saintly figure.”

“My wife fell ill last year, and it was thanks to Chief Tang’s charity fund that we managed to pull through!”

Speaking of which.

Black Wind Country has a unique lifestyle that is similar but not quite the same as the real world when it comes to technology.

They have trains and machinery factories, but their urban transportation is based on spirit horses.

Long-distance travel is the same as in the real world, using trains, but flying is different.

The flying transportation in Black Wind Country uses various species of ‘birds’, with long-distance travel relying on birds with good endurance and short distances using fast birds.

As for where these birds come from, it’s necessary to mention the Devil Race that has joined Black Wind Country. Nowadays, the Devil Race in Black Wind Country is flourishing, with various species boasting divine powers of flight, including many birds.

Moreover, Black Wind Country has its own unique river and maritime transportation systems, which still rely on various demon beasts.

For river transport, they use amphibious demon beasts that live in fresh water, mostly turtle species, which makes it convenient for docking at the pier.

Meanwhile,

Clop, clop- clop… clop, clop, clop-

Monkey King drove a spirit horse along the road toward the entrance of the train station.

Seeing the excited people along the way, he couldn’t help but turn around and say to the sedan chair behind the carriage:

“Master, look at how many people have come out to bid you farewell!”

Upon hearing this,

The curtain of the sedan chair was drawn open.

Tang Xuanzang’s head emerged, his eyes already moistened with tears.

He should know.

He may be inside the sedan chair, but the chair doesn’t block out any sound. Although he couldn’t see them, he heard the heartfelt words from the people along the way.

“My fellow villagers, please go back,” Tang Xuanzang shouted, not wanting the people to delay their lives on his account.

Despite Tang Xuanzang’s words,

Not a single person in the crowd moved. To them, whoever cared for them would be held in the highest regard.

Seeing this,

Tang Xuanzang, feeling helpless, could only turn to Monkey King and say, “Wukong, speed up. Don’t let these people waste too much time waiting for me.”

“Hehe- ” Monkey King chuckled, then gently patted the horse’s head with his right hand.

Whinny-

The horse let out a neigh, as if understanding its master’s command, and immediately increased its pace.

Soon,

With the assistance of the train station staff, Monkey King drove the horse carriage with Tang Xuanzang inside into the train station.

The people outside waited until they could no longer see Tang Xuanzang before they reluctantly dispersed. To them, having such a county chief as Tang Xuanzang was a rare blessing.

Clang-clang- Clang-clang- Boom!

Accompanied by the roaring sound, the train heading to the border started to move.

Inside a sleeper compartment,

Monkey King and Tang Xuanzang sat facing each other, a plate of fruit placed before them.

“Master, now that you’re leaving Yangcheng County after struggling for many years, how do you feel?” Monkey King asked curiously.

After hearing that,

Tang Xuanzang pondered, then said, “I feel a bit unwilling to leave, but also relieved. Being a county chief is not easy; every decision affects the lives of tens of thousands of people!”

“Oh~”

Monkey King nodded, then asked another question, “Master, what if the Mahayana Buddhism you mentioned in the Western Heaven is not as useful as the ‘economic ideological construction’ of Black Wind Country? What do you plan to do?”

Ever since his master had become county chief, he often talked about ‘economic ideological construction.’ Monkey King, who was only in charge of driving, had become knowledgeable about it too.

That’s why,

He was very curious. His master was a disciple of Buddhism, but he dreamt of making the lives of people better.

So, in this situation, when the teachings of Buddhism clashed with his dreams, what choice would he make?

At this moment,

After hearing Monkey King’s words,

Tang Xuanzang once again fell into deep thought, taking a long time to come back to his senses.

After a while!

As the scenery outside the train window sped by and the sound of the tracks clanked, a voice that seemed to be muttering to itself could be heard.

“I… I hope Mahayana Buddhism can also bring better lives to the people!”

He did not directly answer Monkey King’s question, but seemed to have given his own answer. This complicated and entangled feeling perfectly represented Tang Xuanzang’s emotions at the moment.

However,

What Monkey King and Tang Xuanzang did not know was that their every move was being watched clearly by a Taoist on Black Wind Mountain, whose divine soul had spread out to encompass them.
