Yang Ni asked replies without answering: "These two are not contradictory. Do you know why Master Xuanzang traveled west to seek scriptures?"

"I know, I know!" Cookie finally heard a question that he knew the answer, raised her hand and replied: "It was Guanyin Bodhisattva who asked him to go."

Yang Ni smiled: "There is another most direct reason, which is mentioned at the beginning of "Journey to the West", and the facts are almost the same. Xuanzang's main purpose of seeking scriptures was to wash away the evil deeds of Emperor Taizong of Tang Li Shimin!"

All three of them widened their eyes and looked at Yang Ni in disbelief. Tang Monk's pursuit of scriptures was allowed by a certain emperor of the Tang Dynasty. Otherwise, Tang Monk would not have the title of "Imperial Brother".

Li Shimin, the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty, had great achievements in literature and martial arts. Whether in novels or in history, there is no denying that the reason why he ascended the throne was paved with countless heads.

This book is understandable. Those who steal the hook will be punished, and those who steal the country will be marquis. When will the dynasty change, no time will the bones form a mountain?

But what Li Shimin is special is that he personally led the troops to fight, and he had countless wronged souls. What's more, during the Xuanwu Gate Incident, he killed his biological brother, and even did not let go of his wives, concubines, and children.

It is said that those who do big things are cruel, but that's all.

In his later years, Li Shimin felt extremely guilty. He was afraid of being tortured by these enemies and relatives after his death. He ordered Master Xuanzang to travel west to pursue Mahayana Buddhism to eliminate the resentment in the Tang Dynasty and resolve his own sins.

This is the background of the entire story of "Journey to the West". As for the story of Buddhism and Taoism competing for territory, it is even longer to say, so I won't mention it for now.

Cookie is particularly troubled by the fact that Yang Ni talks about history, but this time it is easier to accept with the story of "Journey to the West". After all, she has only read this in the four classics.

Cookie rubbed her swelling head, feeling a little unaware of Yang Ni's meaning, and asked, "Brother Yang, I understand the truth, but what does this have to do with the fact that we found the wild beast that opened the door?"

Yang Ni smiled faintly and replied: "We have made some sense in our speculations twice before, but our thinking is limited to the same misunderstanding, that is, we are too attached to the thing of the ‘gate’. Later, I thought, since the difficulty is 2, can we change our thinking? Later, when you mentioned the Xuanwu Gate change, I remembered the incident of Master Xuanzang and suddenly thought of something."

After a pause, he continued: "There is a common point of contact between the two, that is, they both happened during the reign of Emperor Taizong of Tang Li Shimin. The Tang Dynasty was located in today's Xi'an. There were 4 gates in the Da Nei Palace, namely Qinglong, White Tiger, Vermillion Bird, and Xuanwu, which corresponded to four directions, east, west, south and north. The most famous of which was Xuanwu Gate, because it was a fierce door. In fact, in Feng Shui, the North Gate was an ominous gate, and many wealthy families even had a North Gate at all when they were built. In this sense, the Xuanwu Gate Incident happened there, which was a coincidence."

"Everyone should also be clear that no matter ancient and modern times, both in China and abroad, most of them face north and south when building houses. In this way, the most common main gate is the South Gate. When Master Xuanzang returned from seeking scriptures, Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty welcomed Emperor Taizong was set up at the Zhuque Gate on the south. It can be said that the 'nan' is the safest and most auspicious direction to enter and exit."

Hearing him say this, Cookie raised her hand and snapped her fingers without making a sound, and said excitedly: "I understand, what you mean is that if we want to walk out of here safely, we must go to the south gate."

He said unsurprisingly: "But there is only one door here... Oh, I understand. Donor Yang said that we have to pass through Zhuque before we can leave!"

Yang Ni smiled and said, "That's right, that's it. I think that with the lessons learned from the previous two times, the success rate this time is at least 70%.

Zhuzhu nodded, obviously he was convinced.

Without further ado, this explanation took nearly a minute and we must hurry up.

This time, it was the young monk's turn not to beat the drums.

He took out the drumstick from Zhuzhu's hand, walked to the stone drum with the Vermilion Bird pattern, held it high but did not fall.

Zhuzhu was a little anxious and urged: "Little monk, hurry up."

Unexpectedly, after hearing what she said, she had to put down her hands instead.

He walked to Cookie with the drumsticks and handed them to her, "Donor Qu, you should beat this drum."

Cookie looked at the little monk with a look of surprise and asked, "Why don't you knock? If you knock it correctly, it will extend the lurking time by 20 minutes."

Don’t shake your head: “No need, I still have more than 10 minutes left now, and you only have 2 or 3 minutes. You need this time more than I do.”

Yang Ni and Cookie were very moved. To be honest, Yang Ni wanted to say just now that he asked Cookie to knock on this time, but the little monk kept charging forward throughout the battle and was able to kill the dog-headed beast, which was of great significance.

Unexpectedly, before he could speak, he would take the initiative to stuff the drumsticks into the cookie's hand.

Cookie looked back at Yang Ni. Seeing Yang Nizhn nodding, she held the drumstick tightly and said excitedly: "Little brother, don't worry, even if I lend you this time, I will definitely find another drum to return it to you."

Her status in her heart rose a lot in an instant, almost second only to Yang Ni.

He nodded at her with a smile on his face.

The cookies were not artificial, and they walked to the stone drum with the drumsticks and beat them hard.

"Boom!" A huge sound came, which shocked the cookie almost stood firm.

Accompanied by this sound of drums with even echoes, the four people quickly looked up at the remaining 8 stone statues by the wall.

The stone statue did not move, as if it was not affected at all.

Yang Ni hurriedly asked, "Have you received the time?"

Cookie shook her head blankly.

Yang Ni secretly said that if the correct answer has not been found this time, he might be trapped in a protracted war and the cookies will be in danger.

As soon as he thought of this, he heard a crisp "click" sound from the stone door not far behind him. The four of them looked in the sound and saw cracked patterns appearing on the wide stone door.

Moreover, the patterns are becoming more and more dense. From the appearance of the first pattern until the entire stone door is spread all over the place is simply completed in the blink of an eye.

Soon, with a loud bang, the stone gate that had blocked Yang Ni and others for more than 10 minutes finally collapsed.

Almost at the same time, a voice sounded in Yang Ni's mind:

"Yang Ni (number 1035347) won the Red Peach 2 game, and obtained a visa for 2 days, and received an additional visa for 0, and obtained a card Red Peach 2."

An ordinary playing card appeared in front of Yang Ni's eyes. He gently reached out and pinched it between his fingers.

So far, he has 6 playing cards.

On the other side, Cookie said happily: "Brother Yang, I have got 20 minutes of lurking time."

Yang Ni was relieved. Although the escape room game was difficult, it was successfully completed. The most important thing was that it also got the staff that Cookies had always dreamed of. Everyone also got a 2-day visa time and the extremely precious Red Peach 2 card, which was also very happy.
Chapter completed!
