Chapter 910

~8 min read 1,467 words

"I thought I just opened a Xianxia web novel, I didn't expect it to be a contemporary classic! Just this, the teacher dares to say I didn't study hard and slacked off to read novels?"

"A book shoulder to shoulder with the Investiture of the Gods has appeared; since the prehistoric world, it has appeared in the Journey to the West world!"

"Didn't expect that one day, I would like a monkey!"

"Sun Wukong is really too handsome, somersault cloud 72 transformations, and a big stick, really want to give birth to a monkey for my husband."

"This is Xu Mingyue's best work, an absolute peak work! In the Journey to the West quartet, more or less, one can find one's own shadow; rebellious like Wukong, slick like Bajie, suffering like Sha Monk, persistent like Tang Seng...... a person's life is concentrated in this book."

"From Qi Tian Da Sheng to Dou Zhan Sheng Fo, it is actually a process of a person compromising after recognizing social reality!"

"Journey to the West is amazing! Xu Mingyue is terrifying!"

"The Emperor of Rolling is well-deserved; this time he rolled out a classic-level novel, just ask who else?"

"......"

On the internet, readers were posting comments.

Like on Earth, for the protagonist in "Journey to the West", the person most people like is Sun Wukong.

This character's charm is too strong, making it hard not to love.

Of course, there are also discussions about other characters, but they are words of praise and criticism.

"Tang Seng is too holy-mother; knowing they are robbers, he still persuaded his eldest disciple to hold back; could it be that the lives of people who died in the hands of those robbers are not lives?"

"He really, I cried to death; when there is something, good disciple, when there is nothing, you splashy monkey."

"Tang Seng's prototype should be the famous Buddhist high monk Master Xuanzang in the Tang Dynasty, right? His disciple had an affair with Princess Gaoyang, and then was killed by Taizong."

"Anyway, I don't like Tang Seng in the book."

"He also has some advantages; with a mortal body, on a road full of demons, he insisted on going to the West to take the scriptures; this firm heart is very rare!"

"......"

Compared to Tang Seng, the treatment of Zhu Bajie is much better.

Although this pig is lazy and gluttonous, wanting to return to Gao Lao Zhuang at every turn, vividly showing what a pig teammate is in the book, unable to carry.

But really not many people hate him.

People all yearn to live like Sun Wukong, but unconsciously, they lived like Zhu Bajie.

Greedy for money.

Lustful.

Lazy.

Homesick.

Slick.

In the Journey to the West quartet, it is "Zhu Bajie" who is the most human.

As for Sha Monk, there are very few people discussing him.

Everyone's deepest impression of him, besides honestly carrying luggage, is only those few sentences:

"Eldest brother, it's not good, Master was caught by a monster!"

"Eldest brother, it's not good, Master and Second Senior Brother were both caught by monsters!"

"......"

The sense of presence is low enough.

And the sense of presence of the White Dragon Horse is even lower; the frequency of appearance in the book is pitifully small.

Of course, there are also many book fans who like goddess immortals and female demons.

To sum up, what they like is beauties!

Such as Guanyin Bodhisattva, Chang'e, Jade Rabbit Demon, Daughter Kingdom King, Scorpion Demon, Spider Demon, etc.

Female demons make people think wildly; many people wish they could become the eldest brother Sun Wukong and give them a serious stick.

Some people also interpreted Journey to the West in depth:

"The background of the entire Journey to the West is actually mapping the feudal dynasty; for example, the Heavenly Court is the imperial court in feudal times, and Sun Wukong is the person who rebelled."

"Why was Sun Wukong so powerful when he caused trouble in the Heavenly Palace? But later he was so weak, because he was slacking off; he knew that most of those monsters were sent by the Buddha to test them, and there was not much danger."

"The entire Journey to the West is a game! Laid out by the big shots of both Buddhism and Daoism!"

"Those monsters with backgrounds are all safe and sound, just like today's connected people and various second and third generations, while monsters without backgrounds were all beaten to death, just like the ordinary us; it's really ironic! You tell me this novel is really just telling a myth Xianxia story?"

"The demons and ghosts on the way to take the scriptures are just people's inner demons; why are there seven spider demons? Because it represents people's seven emotions and six desires; the true and false Monkey King is just a person having two hearts, which is equivalent to us humans all having two hearts, hidden evil."

"Why was this difficulty of the Daughter Kingdom given to Tang Seng? I think this is the most difficult pass of Journey to the West. Since ancient times, the love pass is the most difficult to pass; if you want to achieve the right result, you only have to let go of love; isn't this the same as our life, most people are trapped by love?"

"Is there a possibility? The real Sun Wukong has already been beaten to death by the Six-Eared Macaque, and then the Six-Eared Macaque replaced him to take the Western scriptures; anyway, except for a few people, no one can recognize it!"

"......"

Various interpretations made book fans who had finished the novel suspect they had read a fake book.

Even the author Xu Mingyue herself came to join the fun; they wrote a short blog post "Journey to the West Written Backwards, Everything is Sad" on Weibo.

Writing Journey to the West backwards.

This is actually a trend that once emerged in the Middle Kingdom on Earth.

"Tathagata Buddha wanted to compete with the Daoist school, and sent Tang Seng and his disciples to take the Mahayana Buddhist scriptures to the East to preach. Along the way, they killed demons and eliminated monsters, and made countless contributions, but when they were about to reach the Great Tang of the East, the Jinghe Dragon King was convicted for protecting the water tribe, and the White Dragon Horse was punished to be imprisoned in the Eagle Sorrow Stream for saving him.

Sha Monk and Zhu Bajie lived in seclusion in the Flowing Sand River and Gao Lao Zhuang one after another, while Sun Wukong was pressed under the Five Elements Mountain for five hundred years because he was accused of killing too much.

Tang Seng walked to Chang'an alone with a mortal body, insisting on completing the task of preaching, and died alone.

Five hundred years later, Sun Wukong came out from under the Five Elements Mountain, caused trouble in the Heavenly Palace, fought to the Lingxiao Treasure Hall; the Jade Emperor and Tathagata conspired to invite Sun Wukong's junior brothers from back then, Zhu Bajie and Sha Monk. Sun Wukong was unwilling to make things difficult for his own people before the battle, abolished his magic power, lived in seclusion in the Flower Fruit Mountain, and eventually turned into a stone, no longer asking about things in the world."

Countless people exclaimed after reading it, saying that this is the most real life.

At the same time, they were even more impressed by the twins, not expecting that this novel could be played like this, and writing it backwards is also possible.

No matter what, the quality of "Journey to the West" was unanimously recognized and praised by people.

Even many big shots in the literary scene posted articles praising it endlessly.

"......"

"It is indeed a hall-level work! It is the blessing of the Chinese literary scene!"

"I witnessed history!"

"With Xu Mingyue's "Journey to the West" out, there is no suspense for this year's Yunxiao Award!"

"The Yunxiao Award is just an embellishment for "Journey to the West"; its future is far more than this."

"......"

In recent days, the popularity of "Journey to the West" has remained high, and few people noticed that on the August music chart, "Map of Shanhe" has been occupying the number one spot, and has never been surpassed by "Dearest" again.

And when the midnight bell of tonight rang, it meant that August had ended, and the battle for the August music chart officially ended!

First place: "Map of Shanhe"

Second place: "Dearest"

Between the two, there was only a difference of more than two million downloads.

But winning is winning, losing is losing!

ps: The plot of The World's Number One will start soon.
