Chapter 15 Xi’an Travel Guide 3
  Ying Zheng: People said before that they wanted to give Tang Seng to me. Is this the Tang Seng who went to the West to learn Buddhist scriptures? What’s so special about this Tang Monk? It doesn't look like he knows how to fight. Does this Tang Monk have any other talents?

When Li Shimin heard the introduction of Tang Xuanzang by later generations, his eyes shone.

Master Xuanzang had mentioned to him before that he wanted to go to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures, but he never agreed.

Now that he saw Tang Xuanzang successfully returned from the Western Heaven to obtain Buddhist scriptures, his mind suddenly became more active.

He wanted to use force against the aliens in the northwest region, but he didn't know anything about the situation of those aliens.

As the saying goes, only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you be victorious in every battle.

If Tang Monk could be allowed to go west, he would definitely be able to collect information about the Western Regions. When Tang Xuanzang came back from the Western Regions, he would have enough information to take action against the foreigners.

Thinking of this, he immediately ordered people to invite Master Xuanzang, and planned to send heavy troops to escort Master Xuanzang all the way west.

People in Chang'an: The Big Wild Goose Pagoda is really nothing interesting to see. We can testify to this.

Xuanzang of the Tang Dynasty: Great, it seems that I have succeeded in learning Buddhist scriptures from the West. But what happened to the four masters and disciples that people in later generations talked about? Could it be that I took on a disciple on the road? It shouldn’t be! I went to the West to obtain the true scriptures, why did I have to accept three disciples?
  Su Shi: I have never tasted this oil-tea twist twist. I don’t know if it is as delicious as Roujiamo.

Ming Dynasty Wu Chengen: Journey to the West? Do future generations also know my Journey to the West? It's great. I didn't expect that writing a novel can leave a mark in history.

Yongzheng: Isn’t Journey to the West banned? How come future generations know about Journey to the West, and they seem to admire it very much.

[After visiting the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, we can experience Xi’an’s famous water basin mutton at noon. Next we can visit the famous Forest of Steles Museum in Xi'an. The Forest of Steles Museum is recorded on stone tablets and has a very profound historical and cultural heritage. There are 134 national-level cultural relics in it. 】

[If you can meet Teacher Xiao Jing or Teacher Xie explaining the culture of the Forest of Steles when you are in Xi'an, you must listen to it and experience the real cultural feast. The afternoon of the second day was water basin mutton and Xi'an Forest of Steles Museum. 】

[After visiting the Forest of Steles Museum, you must arrange a performance for yourself, because there are really so many wonderful performances in Xi'an that I can't finish them all. 】

[The Song of Everlasting Regret is very exciting. It tells the eternal love story of Huaqing Pool. There is also the welcome ceremony of Meng Changan that can recreate the prosperous period of the Tang Dynasty, and the legend of camels. You can deeply feel the excitement and adventure of the ancient Silk Road. 】

[I highly recommend Camel Legend because it’s really good to watch. After watching the show, how could you not make an appointment with your friends for a barbecue in Xi’an? The fireworks and excitement are unique to Xi'an, so the second night was a barbecue and a performance. 】

"The mutton steamed buns may have mixed reviews, but the water basin mutton really has zero negative reviews"

"The water basin mutton eaten in Xi'an is the most delicious mutton I have ever eaten in my life. Southerners really have never eaten good mutton."

"The Xi'an Forest of Steles Museum is a holy place for calligraphy lovers. If I could only travel to one place in my life, I would choose the Forest of Steles without hesitation."

"When I was in school, I often passed by the Forest of Steles. I never went in, but I always thought it was just a few steles." It wasn’t until I was about to graduate that I went in for a visit, and I was really shocked and moved.”

"Xi'an Forest of Steles Museum, a business card of Xi'an with rich history and culture, a must-see in Xi'an"

"Song of Everlasting Sorrow is really the best live-action stage play I have ever seen, bar none. If you go to Xi'an and don't watch Song of Everlasting Sorrow, you will regret it."

"Bai Juyi: My story is worth it..."

"I have never been to the Terracotta Warriors, but I go to Lintong every year to climb Mount Li during the day and watch Song of Everlasting Sorrow at night."

"The love tragedy is fake, but the deep love written by Bai Juyi in the Song of Everlasting Regret is real"    "The Legend of Camel Bell Show is well worth watching, the camels are real, and the Czech Wolfdog is also real"

"I heard that due to the epidemic, performances were suspended for so long that dogs even forgot how to act."

Ying Zheng: Lishan? Isn’t my imperial mausoleum located in Lishan Mountain? Is it possible that my imperial mausoleum has really been opened? Otherwise, how could the next generation climb Lishan Mountain?
  Seeing later generations talking about climbing Mount Li during the day, Ying Zheng's entire face was frighteningly gloomy.

He had long suspected that the tomb had been dug, and now that he saw future generations climbing Mount Li, he became even more suspicious.

The surrounding ministers trembled when they saw this, not daring to make a sound for fear of offending His Majesty who was in anger.

Li Longji: The love story of Huaqing Pool? Could it be the love story between me and my beloved concubine?

Concubine Yang: The story between her and His Majesty is called an eternal masterpiece by future generations? But who ever cared about her feelings.

Bai Juyi: I never thought that one of my songs of Everlasting Regret could be passed down through the ages, but the Song of Everlasting Regret I wrote was not to praise the love story between His Majesty and Yang Yuhuan.

[On the morning of the third day, we can start a wonderful day with a bowl of spicy meatball soup and cumin meat buns. 】

[After eating, we can go to the Terracotta Warriors and Horses of Qin Shihuang, which is known as the eighth wonder of China. Listen to the professional tour guide tell you the story of this clay sculpture and Qin Shihuang 2000 years ago, and experience the momentum Qin Shihuang left for us. A majestic and unparalleled miracle. 】

[There is a small detail that you must discover for yourself. When you carefully observe the terracotta warriors and horses, you will find that the eyes, expressions, and demeanor of each terracotta warrior are completely different. Isn't it very wonderful? So the morning of the third day was meatball spicy soup, cumin meat buns and terracotta warriors. 】

"A king who advocated equality between men and women was scolded by Confucians for thousands of years"

"Opening up the pattern, the Terracotta Warriors and Horses are not the mausoleum of Qin Shihuang, but the tombs he built for thousands of Qin people who died in the battlefield, so that their loyal souls can have a home."

"I have always felt that Qin Shihuang was the kind of handsome guy who cared about the common people but was so arranged"

"Qin Shihuang was really forward-looking and proposed the idea of ​​equality between men and women. He destroyed the interests of those Confucian scholars and was written as a tyrant."

"Maybe he just wants to do too many things, so he wants to live longer."

"I've always wondered whether the terracotta warriors and horses were made of clay or if real people were petrified."

"If you drop something at the Terracotta Warriors and Horses, you can't pick it up, because as soon as you pick it up, you'll hear it in your head, and every drop of it will be a drop of your forehead."

"Ying Zheng: A lonely life is a lonely life"

"After seeing the Terracotta Warriors and Horses, I feel that the people in Xi'an have the character of the Qin people"

"I remember a staff member saw the fingerprints left on the terracotta warriors when they were studying them. The conversation that traveled through time and space was so romantic."

"How can a few strokes in a history book describe their magnificent lives?"

"The terracotta warriors and horses were originally very beautiful, but the color was oxidized when they were excavated"
