"Fuck! Awesome!"

"The Great Sage is awesome!"

"This is the Great Sage in my mind! Unruly and heroic!"

"Cool!"

This battle was taken very seriously by the Heavenly Court. Not only did Guanyin Bodhisattva recommend Erlang Zhenjun to help, but Taishang Laojun also helped with hidden weapons, and finally Wukong was captured.

Speaking of Erlang Zhenjun, readers in Xiazhou are quite familiar with him. First of all, Erlang Shen is a household mythological figure. Although his popularity is not as high as Sun Wukong and Nezha, it should not be a problem to rank him third.

What's more, Lao Zei has published a novel about Erlang Shen before, and Lao Zei's die-hard fans should have read it.

People who know the business, just by seeing this, know that this novel must be another masterpiece-level novel, and it is a complete shaping of the Chinese mythology system!

It is conceivable that the mythological background of "Journey to the West" will become a standard template for those authors who write works on the theme of prehistoric mythology.

If there are still doubts about Lao Zei's current writing level, it is purely because of brain problems.

The previous autobiographical trilogy and short story collection are of high literary value, but many readers find it difficult to read because the story itself is not very entertaining. However, traditional literature such as "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "Journey to the West" can be accepted by almost all Xiazhou readers.

From old scholars in their seventies and eighties.

From teenagers to teenagers, they can read with relish, but they just look at the problem from different angles.

For example, these teenage readers are excited about the plot of Sun Wukong fighting against the heavenly soldiers and generals!

Unfortunately, Sun Wukong was still captured by the Heavenly Court, which aroused thousands of readers.

However, this is similar to the mythological stories handed down. Otherwise, if Sun Wukong could turn the world upside down by himself, then there is no need to write the story, and he would be invincible in the world.

It is said that after Sun Wukong was captured, he was chopped with knives, chopped with axes, burned with fire and struck by lightning, and even placed in an alchemy furnace for 49 days, but nothing happened. He even trained his Fiery Eyes in the alchemy furnace!

Fiery Eyes can identify all kinds of demons and monsters!

Then he made a big fuss in the heaven, which was quite like Sun Wukong!

…

Why do we like Sun Wukong?

It is because Sun Wukong has great magical powers, is unruly, hates evil, and dares to challenge authority!

Just like the myths and legends, who doesn't want to attack the South Heaven Gate like Sun Wukong and pierce the thirty-three heavens with a stick.

Fighting the gods, stepping on Lingxiao, breaking Taiqing, fighting Tathagata, it's so exciting!

Dare to disobey the heavens and all things, the universe!

But even such a Monkey King who defeated Sun Wukong and could turn over 108,000 miles with one somersault could not escape the palm of Tathagata Buddha. As the Five Elements Mountain came down from the thirty-three heavens, Sun Xingzhe was suppressed alive for five hundred years!

With the appearance of Tang Monk in the eighth chapter, Wukong was going to accompany Tang Monk to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures. The main story of the novel "Journey to the West" officially began. However, as Sun Wukong put on the golden hoop, both Sun Wukong and the audience seemed to be firmly put in a yoke.

Even so, even as rebellious as Wukong, he was still loyal to Tang Monk on the journey to obtain Buddhist scriptures, and he was still willing to help his friends. This is why thousands of Xiazhou people like Wukong so much!

If the entire "Journey to the West" is to be divided, it can be divided into four major chapters.

The first major chapter tells the story of the protagonist Sun Wukong's birth, enlightenment, and havoc in the Heavenly Palace.

The second chapter tells the story of Tang Sanzang becoming a monk, revealing the main mission of Tang Sanzang's journey to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures.

The third chapter, which is the main content of the book, tells the adventure story of Tang Sanzang and his disciples, Wukong, Bajie, and Sha Seng, who went to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures!

Yes, "Journey to the West" is essentially a "road-style" adventure story.

In this story, many demons are eager to eat Tang Sanzang's flesh, because they will be immortal after eating it. Such a huge temptation will naturally cause many difficulties for this journey to obtain Buddhist scriptures!

Three disciples, Wukong, Bajie, and Sha Seng!

In addition to Wukong, Zhu Bajie and Sha Seng are both recorded in myths and legends, especially Zhu Bajie, who was originally the Marshal of Tianpeng and was demoted to the mortal world for teasing Chang'e!

There are relatively few records about Sha Seng, but "Journey to the West" gives a complete introduction. He was originally a curtain-pulling general, but was demoted to the mortal world for breaking a glass lamp. In addition, there is also the little white dragon worth mentioning, who was enlightened by Guanyin and became Tang Seng's mount.

During this journey, the four masters and disciples had to go through a total of ninety-nine and eighty-one difficulties before they could reach the Western Heaven and obtain the true scripture!

Why is it so difficult?

There is a saying in Buddhism that says "Nine-Nine Returns to One", also called "Nine-Nine Returns to True", which means perfection, that is to say, it is not perfect until ninety-nine.

Moreover, there is a Buddhist saying that after ninety-nine returns to one, one will eventually achieve the right fruition. This means that only after the ninety-nine returns to one can one achieve complete merit and virtue, one can achieve the right fruition.

That's why the Buddha set eighty-one difficulties for Tang Monk on his way to seek scriptures. Only by going through these eighty-one difficulties can he be worthy of achieving perfect merits and achieving positive results.

As readers read more deeply, they discovered that although it is impossible to write all the stories of the Eighty-One Dilemma in this novel, the stories written are really wonderful!

For example, there was a battle of wits in the country of Chechi. Tang Monk wanted to go to the court to exchange documents and travel westward in the country of Chechi.

After praying for rain, putting oil in a pan, and beheading three times of fighting, all the masters of the Three Kingdoms died unexpectedly and revealed their true colors!

Another example is the classic three-fight white-bone spirit!

Mrs. Bones wanted to eat Tang Monk's meat, so she transformed into a village girl, an old woman, and an old man three times to impress Tang Monk's compassion.

Tang Seng was indeed fooled by the White Bone Demon's transformation, but he was discovered by Sun Wukong three times and beaten to death with a golden cudgel.

However, Tang Monk believed that Sun Wukong was killing innocent people indiscriminately and was determined to drive Wukong away!

When reading this paragraph, readers’ blood pressure soared!

You know, the most popular one is Sun Wukong, and in entertainment works, the most uncomfortable thing is misunderstanding, not to mention this kind of misunderstanding. Sun Wukong has piercing eyes and can spot monsters at a glance. As a result, Monk Tang actually said that Wukong killed innocent people indiscriminately?

…

"I'll go! My blood pressure!!"

"Hypertensive medicine! Antihypertensive medicine!!"

"Every big plot is so exciting! I like the plot of the Flame Mountain so much! The Bull Demon King and the Iron Fan Princess!"

"I like the plot of subduing the black bear monster!"

"The part where Jin Gong casts a spell to destroy evil spirits is also very exciting. I feel like every part is full! The Kingdom of Women is also very exciting!"

By the time they reached the halfway mark, countless readers were already shocked!

Regardless of whether it's Pingdingshan's wits against the golden and silver-horned king, the surrender of the red boy who set fire, the battle between the three immortals of Chechi Kingdom, the yellow-browed monster of Xiaoleiyin Temple, the Thousand-Eyed Demon of Pansi Cave, or the master and apprentice in danger at Shituoling, they are all exciting. ! !

Among them, it can be said that each story alone is enough to make a wonderful movie, but the old thief actually gathered so many wonderful stories together!

"Journey to the West" is quite long. As long as it is a normal reader, no matter how fast the reading speed is, it will be difficult to finish reading this book in one day. Therefore, the fermentation speed of this book still needs to be For a certain period of time, and since this is traditional literature, the speed of dissemination is definitely not as fast as that of animation through online channels.

But at that time, about a week after "Dragon Ball" started airing, "Journey to the West" seemed to be a global hit!

Even Kyushu readers with different cultures are full of curiosity about this Xiazhou mythical character because of the previous 3A Wukong masterpiece game and the warm-up of "Dragon Ball"!

You wouldn’t know this unless you read it, but as soon as you read it, you were completely immersed in the story of "Journey to the West"!

Of course, why did "Journey to the West" become popular only about five days after its release? Because five days later, all the vernacular versions of "Journey to the West" were translated one after another!

In fact, the work of translating into vernacular started the moment the novel was released. However, the entire "Journey to the West" is too long, and the translation process will take a certain amount of time, no matter how fast it is.

But even so, with the promotion of the entire Xiazhou official, "Journey to the West" still became popular.

Xiazhou officials have no reason not to promote this novel, even more vigorously than when they promoted "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms". After all, "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is not a true history, but a romance novel, but "Journey to the West" itself is the most historical A mythical novel with deep roots!

Therefore, the meaning of this work is completely different, and even the audience of this novel has a wider age range than ever before.

Readers of almost every age group will have different feelings when reading this book.

For example, in the subconscious mind of a child, the monster is the big bad guy. In the subconscious mind of an adult, the monster may be a reflection of the corrupt officials in reality. The elderly will regard defeating the monster as defeating their own youth. It is a symbol of youth. After all, Sun Wukong used to be unruly, but after wearing the golden hoop, Sun Wukong seems to have grown up and matured, and his soul has aged.

The demons and monsters are defeated one by one throughout the plot, which is completely in line with Xiazhou's moral values ​​and will naturally make readers of all ages enjoy it.

Therefore, the discussion situation of this book is completely different from the discussion situation of previous old thief books, and it is becoming more and more lively!

Because of the literary quality of the novel, even primary and secondary schools organize students to read this classic novel together. Even for primary school students, teachers will tell the story of "Journey to the West" in vernacular in class. For example, at the end of each class, they will talk about the previous chapter of "Journey to the West", or tell stories in a way that motivates students to learn.

From the current situation, the entire Xiazhou, whether it is the youth group or the adult reader group, is extremely enthusiastic about this "Journey to the West", and the discussion about the plot has surpassed "Dragon Ball" in an instant!

After all, the plot of "Dragon Ball" is quite simple. Compared with the wonderful plot of "Journey to the West", it is simply a cloud of somersaults, a hundred thousand miles away!

Among these plots, the most popular are nothing more than a few classic plots.

Among them, there are three plots that are the most popular.

The first two are undoubtedly the three fights with the White Bone Demon and the havoc in the Heavenly Palace!

As a classic plot in the Xiazhou legend, the old thief perfectly presents it in a vivid and emotional way.

But there is another plot, which can be said to have become the most discussed plot of Journey to the West on the Internet!

This plot is...

The True and False Monkey King!!

...

When countless readers saw this plot for the first time, they were amazed!

This plot happened in the 57th chapter of Journey to the West.

Before this plot happened, there was a previous story. Tang Seng killed the highway robber again because of "Wukong" and drove him away again, which raised the blood pressure of readers again!

You should know that in the previous three fights with the White Bone Demon, the blood pressure of readers has been raised once, and this time it comes again!

At this time, the six-eared macaque took the opportunity to transform into Wukong's appearance, snatched the luggage pass, and transformed the little demon into Tang Seng, Bajie, and Sha Seng, intending to go to the West to cheat the true scriptures.

You know, this six-eared macaque is not a pushover. In the story of "Journey to the West", there are four great monkeys, namely the Spiritual Stone Monkey, the Red-butted Horse Monkey, the Tongbi Ape Monkey and the Six-eared Macaque.

Sun Wukong is a Spiritual Stone Monkey, who is good at transformation, knows the weather, knows the terrain, and can move the stars and change the constellations.

The Six-eared Macaque is good at listening, can observe the truth, know the past and the future, and understands everything. His ability is not weak at all!

The real and fake Wukongs fought from the sky to the ground, and the Bodhisattva, the Jade Emperor, the Ksitigarbha and others could not distinguish the real from the fake.

"The real and fake Monkey King!"

"Oh my! This Six-eared Macaque is capable!"

"This plot is so exciting!"

"Oh my, even the old Jade Emperor can't tell!"

The two monkeys used their best skills and all their tricks to fight all the way to the Lingxiao Palace.

The Jade Emperor ordered them to stop, but the two monkeys refused to obey the Jade Emperor's order, leaving the Jade Emperor helpless.

It was not until the Buddha of Leiyin Temple that the Buddha revealed his true identity. In front of the boundless Buddha, the six-eared macaque finally showed his true colors and suffered the consequences.

The excitement of this plot can be regarded as the top of the whole book. The two great monkeys went to heaven and earth, and countless gods were hard to distinguish between true and false. It is a classic!

Of course, in addition to the excitement of the plot itself, there is another reason for excessive discussion, that is, some conspiracy theories about the true and false Monkey King plot.

There are many such conspiracy theories in the past life.

The main point of view is that it was Sun Wukong who was beaten to death with a stick in the end, not the six-eared macaque, and various seemingly reasonable explanations were given to this "conspiracy theory"...
