Tomb of Love: Bones Journey to the West
About This Novel
"The Tomb of Love: Bones Journey to the West" is based on the classic IP of "Journey to the West" and reconstructs the inter-world love relationship between the Monkey King, Monkey King, and Lady Bones. After leaving Wuzhuang Temple, Tang Monk and his apprentice met Baihu Ridge, and Wukong unexpectedly met Bai Jin, a woman in plain clothes who was hiding in a thatched nunnery. She recited poems and played the piano, which moved Stone Monkey's heart for the first time, but he didn't know that this was the white-bone spirit who was killed by him back then. He was inspired by the old mother Lishan to reshape his human form. He originally wanted to take revenge, but he had a deep love for her as they got along day and night. From discussing poetry in a thatched hut to setting up a love affair at the "Qi Tian Qing Tomb", from giving birth to a child, Xuan Ming, to fighting against heaven to protect his beloved, this love between humans and monsters has made Wukong go through countless calamities of "cracked golden hoops, shattered jade bones, and search for reincarnation": he fought furiously at Leiyin Temple for her, and was willing to give up the Buddha's throne for her; she spread thousands of years of cultivation for him, and turned into bones for him to subdue the netherworld. Their children Xuan Ming and Huo Ling'er, who were born from the womb, continued this love affair and involved the grand pattern of the conflict between Buddhism and Taoism, the turmoil of the underworld, and the reconstruction of the order of the three realms. The story uses "love" as its bones, "golden hoops", "white bones" and "dumplings" as its soul, and incorporates fireworks and a sense of fate into the classical narrative - not only the epiphany of "the wind and the moon under the stick are originally Zen", but also the decision of "living up to the Tathagata and not letting you down". Finally, in the aftertaste of "the porridge is cold and the bones are dry", it expresses the deep feeling of "love separation" and the relief of "fireworks Zen".
