With this critical spirit, Li Zhenghui continued to read "The Legend of Sun Wukong".
The rest of the first chapter is still hilarious.
Strictly speaking, it should be...
Nonsense
It's very confusing.
It's like a farce.
None of the four masters and apprentices could speak seriously; even the monsters spoke incoherently and in a mysterious way.
"baffling."
Li Zhenghui frowned.
He was losing his patience.
However, there is a line in the dialogue between the tree demon and Tang Monk that is quite interesting: "Don't die, and don't live alone."
It's amazing.
A very literary sentence suddenly pops up in the midst of the frivolous story telling, making the mood of the novel seem to be elevated a little
However, Li Zhenghui does not think that this novel has any artistic conception.
He was more inclined to believe that the author probably copied these words from somewhere.
Just when Li Zhenghui's patience was about to run out, another conversation caught Li Zhenghui's attention.
Tang Seng actually said to the female demon: "My practice is different from others. They practice Hinayana, I practice Mahayana. They practice emptiness, I practice perfection."
Li Zhenghui was stunned.
It's a very strange feeling.
The Tang Monk in the original novel would not speak like this, although this statement is somewhat of a metaphor for the dispute over Buddhist practice. There is also debate about Mahayana Buddhism and Hinayana Buddhism in the real Buddhism of Blue Planet.
The fairy's answer was even stranger:
"I only heard that there was a man named Jin Chanzi who once questioned the Hinayana Buddhism and wanted to attain enlightenment on his own. As a result, he became possessed and was trapped in eternal damnation."
Golden cicada
People like Li Zhenghui who are familiar with Journey to the West certainly know that Jin Chanzi is the previous life of Tang Monk.
In the original version of Journey to the West, it was mentioned that Jin Chanzi was banished by Tathagata to the mortal world to obtain Buddhist scriptures in the West to atone for his sins because he disrespected Buddhism and did not listen carefully to Tathagata's lectures.
This plot is very controversial.
Everyone felt that things were not simple.
Tathagata's second disciple, Jin Chanzi, was sent to the mortal world to obtain Buddhist scriptures just because he did not listen carefully in class
Is this reason too perfunctory
Some interpretations therefore believe that the conflict between Jin Chanzi and Tathagata is not as simple as not paying attention in class.
There have been countless speculations about the real reasons, but few have been universally agreed upon.
The author of the book "Wukong Zhuan" Yi An seems to have given a possibility:
Jin Chanzi was banished to the mortal world by Tathagata because they had a disagreement on the most fundamental Buddhist concepts
Is the conflict between the two a result of the dispute between Mahayana Buddhism and Hinayana Buddhism
Quite interesting!
This idea of interpreting the conflict between Jin Chanzi and Tathagata in light of the current situation of Buddhism made Li Zhenghui's eyes light up!
A spoof is a spoof.
Nonsense is nonsense.
It seems that the author also has ideas.
Li Zhenghui finally showed some interest in this special Journey to the West fan fiction.
He continued watching.
Sun Wukong finally came to rescue Tang Seng, but what Li Zhenghui didn't expect was that the female demon actually knew Sun Wukong, and seemed to have had some interactions with Sun Wukong in the past!
But Sun Wukong didn't recognize the other person.
He said that he was originally a demon monkey from the Flower-Fruit Mountain. He was punished to the Five Hells Mountain for disrespecting the Jade Emperor and was imprisoned for five hundred years. Later, the Jade Emperor showed mercy and said that as long as Sun Wukong could complete three things, he could accumulate public virtue to redeem his previous sins. He also mentioned the first two of the three things: "The first one is to protect the bald man from going to heaven, and the second one is to kill four demon kings. They are the Bull Demon King of the Great Sage Pingtian in the Western Heniu Continent, the Peng Demon King of the Great Sage Hun Tian in the Northern Julu Continent, the Macaque Monkey King of the Great Sage Tongtian in the Southern Zhanbu Continent, and there is another one, the Monkey King of the Great Sage Qitian in the Eastern Sheng Shenzhou..."
Li Zhenghui was stunned!
Anyone who has read the original Journey to the West knows what Sun Wukong experienced before he went on the journey to the West.
There’s something wrong with this Sun Wukong’s memory!
It would have been fine if he had just called the Five Elements Mountain the Five Hells Mountain!
He even forgot that he was the Monkey King from Dongsheng Continent, and was still shouting that he wanted to kill the other party!
"There is a conspiracy!"
Li Zhenghui instantly smelled a hint of conspiracy.
Among the many interpretations of the original "Journey to the West", the most popular one is the conspiracy theory.
This novel seems to express the same intention.
This author has something!
Are you actually going to write about the conspiracy of Journey to the West
Li Zhenghui's interest was completely aroused.
He wanted to see how Yi An would interpret Journey to the West from the perspective of conspiracy theory. After all, he himself was also a loyal supporter of the Journey to the West conspiracy theory.
As he continued to watch, Li Zhenghui became very interested.
However, the following plot made Li Zhenghui a little unable to keep up with the author's pace...
Sun Wukong, who was in a bad mood, actually killed Tang Seng with a stick!
The story then entered a flashback mode.
In a flashback story.
Zhu Bajie had a relationship with a fairy named A Yue;
Sun Wukong had a bond with a fairy named Zixia;
Even the white dragon horse became a girl and fell deeply in love with Tang Monk;
If it weren’t for the imagination in the previous article, Li Zhenghui would definitely sneer at the author’s secondary creation after reading this.
But at this moment.
Seeing this love story that is completely different from the original novel, Li Zhenghui did not find it ridiculous, but became more curious...
How many things happened five hundred years ago
It seems that the four masters and apprentices all have their own secrets
This author named Yi An seems to want to uncover the conspiracy behind Journey to the West.
But what is the truth behind the conspiracy
Do the master and his disciples have the same stance
Li Zhenghui wanted to know how Yi An would explain it.
And the subsequent plot seems to be moving in this direction.
It turns out that the White Dragon Horse once turned into a carp and was rescued by the young Tang Sanzang, and was thus attracted to him.
There is another sentiment in the novel about this story:
Will we swim towards the same fate no matter which direction we choose
The appearance of this sentence made Li Zhenghui fall into deep thought.
Destiny
Does this refer to the pretty boy and Monk Tang, or to the four masters and apprentices who will embark on a journey to obtain Buddhist scriptures in the future
The novel does not provide an answer.
The young Tang Sanzang seemed to be a wise but foolish man. He even debated Buddhism with the master and defeated him.
The abbot of the temple wanted to teach Tang Seng Buddhism, but Tang Seng shook his head and said, "You can't teach me what I want to learn."
Li Zhenghui's mouth curled up.
The young Tang Sanzang’s charisma simply crushes the original Tang Sanzang. The original Tang Sanzang could never say such words.
It is Tang Sanzang's previous life, Jin Chanzi, who has the right to say this.
Golden cicada
Li Zhenghui was suddenly startled, as if he realized something.
Could it be that this Tang Sanzang inherited the will of Jin Chanzi
At this time.
The host asked Xuanzang, "What do you want to learn?"
Xuanzang raised his head, looked at the changing white clouds in the sky, and said:
“I want this sky to no longer cover my eyes; I want this earth to no longer bury my heart; I want all living beings to understand my intentions; I want all Buddhas to disappear into thin air!”
As soon as these words came out, it was like a bolt from the blue!
Li Zhenghui's eyes widened, his scalp suddenly felt numb, and every hair on his head stood up!
Exploded!!!
