【Sea and River Night Talks】On his journey to obtain the scriptures, Tang Seng passed by so many places – how many translators did he hire?

Tang Seng traveled westward, crossing mountains and passes, from the Western Regions to Central Asia, from deserts to tropical rainforests. He passed through many different **and regions. How did he manage to get through all these places? How many translators did he need? ? ?
What do you need translated? Sign language ； With the Great Tang seal and the **-approved seals in place, proper officials dared only to report matters level by level, eventually reaching the local emperor or king, who, no matter how poor, would have interpreters available.
Primarily, Tang Seng functioned as a diplomatic ambassador and religious leader of the Tang Dynasty, holding a highly prestigious status; wherever he went, the cities under the influence of the Tang Dynasty’s power would offer their full support； The Tang Dynasty itself originated in the northwest, boasting great strength and far-reaching influence ； From today’s perspective, the cultural differences across the distance to India are not particularly complex; during the Tang Dynasty, there was a mixed region between China and Persia that resulted from wars. . . It’s just that back then the transportation conditions were poor; a county, a township, or even a tribe could constitute a small **. . .
I think characters like the Second Senior Brother and Sha Junior Brother, who are originally deities, don’t have any language they can’t understand, including Wukong……
There seems to be an allusion to Li Bai; it was an article from the Western Regions that no one in the Tang Dynasty could understand, so in the end they turned to the drunk Li Bai
One mixed zone cross-links with another mixed zone
Tang Seng was treated fairly upon his return, but when he crossed the border, it was considered smuggling, and he was pursued.
