Although in the Journey to the West, there are many gods and monsters, the one who really plays a decisive role is the Tang monk who has no mana. Of course, his background is still quite strong, so not only did the Buddha equip him with a high-level bodyguard team, but even the Tang Emperor, who wrote about Li Shimin in the book, also arranged a customs clearance for him. I believe that everyone has also seen that in those countries that pass through, none of them dare to be sloppy, why is this?
In fact, when Tang Monk got up, he was completely a person, after all, for the Tang Dynasty people, Tianzhu was a distant and unreachable place, and no one wanted to accompany him. As an emperor, he naturally hoped that someone would seek the true scriptures, and for this reason, he also worshiped tang monks as brothers, which shows how high his hopes for Tang monks are. However, the emperor also knew that the road was far away, and it was not a day's work.
For those demons and ghosts, the Tang Emperor was certainly powerless, but for those countries that passed, the Tang Emperor still had a way. As everyone can see, no matter which country the king, as long as he sees the tang dynasty monks handed over the documents, he will immediately be solemnly respected, and the care of the Tang monks and disciples is also in accordance with the national etiquette.
We all know that the Tang monks took the Western Heavenly Scriptures during the Tang Dynasty, and the customs clearance documents at that time were very important, equivalent to our current passports, in fact, the Tang monks already had the status of diplomatic envoys at this time. It represents not only the Tang monk alone, but also the majesty of the Tang Emperor Li Shimin. Everyone must be curious about what is written on this clearance document?
In fact, there are only six simple words "The Tang Dynasty rides under the Imperial Gift", and Li Shimin also wrote in detail his relationship with the Tang Monk in this customs clearance document, which is equivalent to arranging a powerful "amulet" for the Tang Monk - the entire Tang Dynasty is his backing. It was precisely for this reason that no matter where Tang Monk went, no one dared to neglect him.
At that time, the Tang Dynasty was very powerful, whether in its own country or in the world, the Tang Dynasty's national strength could be among the best, which made many small countries willing to submit to the Tang Dynasty, and regarded the Tang Dynasty as a "heavenly dynasty" and "shangbang".
Speaking of this, it is not difficult to understand that Tang Monk, as Li Shimin's royal brother, can naturally be respected by other countries, so there is a scene on the film and television drama, and the kings all treat each other with the highest standard of etiquette after seeing Tang Sanzang, and none of them dare to be sloppy. Moreover, Tang Monk did not travel alone, he also had three strange-looking apprentices, and ordinary people saw that they were too late to hide, who would easily provoke them.
