"The Legend of Wukong"!
The most popular online book in the early 21st century, some even commented that it "influenced the youth of a generation".
The plot tells the story of the tragic hero Sun Wukong and Tang Monk and others' struggle against fate. It reinterprets certain plots in "Journey to the West" from a modern perspective. The whole story is filled with thinking and the search for self-answers.
Once it was published, Journey to the West caused a craze and the first print run of 100,000 copies was sold out within a few days. The following year, the traditional Chinese version was sold in Taiwan at a sky-high royalty price and topped the bestseller list for 32 consecutive weeks.
It’s a fitting start for something so terrifying.

Preface: On the Road
When I was a child, I loved to fantasize, fantasizing about all the novelty and beauty of the world.
I remember watching martial arts dramas with flying figures at that time, and I really believed that there were martial arts in this world, and that there were people who could float on the water and stand on the treetops with a light leap.
~~
I remember that my favorite was the Journey to the West TV series during the winter vacation. I would just sit around the TV and keep changing channels to watch it all day long. I would never get tired of it no matter how much I watched it.
I even foolishly picked my ears in the yard: Hey, where is the golden cudgel
Shouting to the sky: Hey, where’s the somersault cloud
~~
The obvious theme of Journey to the West is a joke. It's all planned out. It's all about walking around and having fun on the road, fighting monsters, and beating your sister.
Journey west to become a Buddha, killing monsters along the way.
The first category is the brothers who had joined in the rebellion against Heaven, such as the Bull Demon King.
Sun Wukong had to kill all his sworn brothers who had fought against heaven and earth with him in the past, just to become a Buddha. Suddenly I felt so sad and tragic.
The other type of monsters are arranged by the gods in heaven. They are either this person’s mount or that person’s pet. This is too disgusting. On the one hand, they ask you to go to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures, and on the other hand, they arrange 81 difficulties for you.
What is hidden in the dark is conspiracy and tragedy!
~~
"The Legend of Sun Wukong" is intended to write out some very obscure things in "Journey to the West". Some people may say that it is subverting "Journey to the West", so let it be subverting.
The Journey to the West in my mind is the path of human beings.
Success or failure is not the most important thing.
The most valuable thing in life is not the final success and fame, but the life process that is full of expectations and anxieties about the future;... In the end, you can say that I have been to this world, I have loved it, I have fought for it, and I have no regrets.
"The Legend of Sun Wukong" is actually a story about a group of people who spend their entire lives searching for the answers to life.
I don't have an answer, and I don't need one.
…
“Huh~”
Xiong Ran let out a long breath.
Combining my personal growth experience, life cognition and insights, etc., the preface of nearly 2,000 words is completed.
"Tomorrow is 11th, a new beginning..."
Xiong Ran has not posted it online. Today is September 30th, so I will not post it online. I will upload it tomorrow, the first day of October, and start a new journey.
The release channel has also been preliminarily determined.
First, there is the Weibo window. There is a column for article creation. You can just paste, upload and publish. After all, the Weibo account currently has 1.5 million followers. Even if there are some zombie fans among them, it is better than starting from scratch.
Another thing is to register an author account on Qidian. As China's largest full-category online novel platform, how can you not publish on Qidian
However, "The Legend of Sun Wukong" can only be released as a resident work, and it is not an exclusive A-signed first release.
Because the number of words is too small, the whole book including the chapter "Yang Jian and Nezha" is only 180,000 words, why sign it...
"Um?"
Xiong Ranhan, is the name repeated
I searched for the works of Xiong Ran on Qidian front-end reading station, but found nothing. Does that mean he is just occupying the pen name but not producing anything? Damn it, what the hell…
If the bear is not there, what about the bear
After a while, the pen name 'Xiong Ran' was OK...
Hmm, it seems pretty good. The name of the online literary pen is "Ran" with the character "Huo" added to it, which has a good meaning. It must be God's will.
Create the work "The Legend of Wukong", OK...
Time passed, and more than half an hour later Xiong Ran stretched hard. The preliminary preparations such as the Weibo creation column information and the Qidian author account were completed.
Tomorrow at noon, the Weibo window and the Qidian window will each submit their sequences for review, and will be serialized after passing.
The chapters of "The Legend of Wukong" are composed of small sections. The first volume "The Legend of Wukong" has a total of 50 sections, about 120,000 words.
The second volume, "One Hundred Years of Solitude", has 13 chapters with 30,000 words, and the third volume, "The Flower-Fruit Mountain" and the two extra chapters "Yang Jian and Nezha" have a total of 30,000 words, for a total of 180,000 words.
Xiong Ran decided to serialize two sections every day, with the number of words in each section varying, and it is expected to be completed in 40 days.
That means it will be completed before mid-November, and by then it is estimated that the registration and approval of Yu Shuying's studio will be approved and the work can begin; for example, jointly with Baixiang to release a three-song album "The Mistress Is Too Much, My Past You", and also to produce a new album.
Wang Teng’s album and Jay Chou’s songs took off.
…
Hiss~, it smells so good.
After washing up, Xiong Ran got into bed, and was immediately surrounded by an intoxicating rose fragrance. Xu Ruoqing had only used it for one night last night, and it had become a scented quilt.
I don’t know if women have natural body odor, but they all use some perfume to a certain extent.
And usually when taking a bath, I use shower gel, body lotion, etc., they all have various scents.
Sniff, inhale.
Xiong Ran emptied his body and mind and enjoyed the aftertaste.
But after a moment, he grinned a little, because he suddenly thought of Xu Ruoqing's clothes hanging on the balcony, especially the purple lace set, which appeared in his mind.
You can tell a person by his or her scent. The scent of roses is not something that most women can handle, and the same goes for purple lace underwear.
To put it more bluntly, Xu Ruoqing appears cold and indifferent on the outside, but she is actually very depressed, or even repressed, on the inside.
The most important point is, no matter whether Xiong Ran is her childhood sweetheart or not, would most women deliberately leave their underwear on to show off seductively
"Fuck, I got fooled by this elder sister..."
The corners of Xiong Ran's mouth twitched a little. Although Xu Ruoqing was gone, her figure was still there.
Especially that set of Xiao Zi, it’s hard to forget.
Xu Ruoqing definitely did it on purpose. After all, no man would be completely indifferent to female objects. Leaving behind a set of Xiao Zi would mean that he could see the stimulation often.
In the current situation, the purple lace drying on the balcony is a shining temptation in my mind.
"Sure, let's do it..."
No, if your heart is as clear as ice, you won’t be afraid even if the sky falls!
Xiong Ran took a deep breath and closed his eyes, silently chanting a calming mantra in his heart. He must not think too much, especially since it was late at night and everyone was asleep. Otherwise, he would act evil if he couldn't control himself.
Although the evil can be cleansed after it is done, this indescribable thing is addictive, eating away at the marrow and corroding the bones.
"Men, be self-controlled and restrained!" Bear Dad's seven wolves' admonitions were engraved in my heart.
"Sleep, sleep, all evil will not invade..."
Xiong Ran murmured firmly, trying hard to empty his mind and body.
This is a test of will and determination. I, Xiong Ran, can ignore your tender body, so why should I be afraid of your things? At least I must survive tonight...
Amitabha, the Buddha of Infinite Heaven and Longevity.
Xiong Ran let out a long breath and slowly opened his eyes...
