A lie can be guarded for five hundred years. A truth that turns gods and Buddhas into enemies.
At the last moment of seeking scriptures in the West, Tathagata Buddha killed the "six-eared macaque" in public, and Sun Wukong "completed his merits" was awarded a title to defeat the Buddha in a fight.
But Zhu Bajie will always remember that night at Lingshan - Tang Monk recited the Tightening Curse over and over again, but "Wukong" beside him showed no reaction. In the darkness, a tear streaked down Tang Seng's cheek, and Bajie, who was pretending to sleep, could see clearly: His Monkey Brother was no longer here.
The conversation in the Flame Mountain five hundred years ago became the last words that hurt the bone marrow. When the Bull Demon King pretended to be Wukong and cheated, Bajie asked why he didn't use his fiery eyes to see through. Wukong laughed and scolded: "Idiot, how can I see you with my fiery eyes?"
It was this unquestionable trust that allowed Bajie to become the only person to see through Tathagata's shocking plan five hundred years later: the one who was killed that year was the real Wukong, and the surviving "fighting and victorious Buddha" was actually a six-eared macaque.
The Buddhist scripture learning team is perfect on the surface, but it has long since fallen apart on the inside. Bajie never called "Brother Monkey" again, Tang Monk was silent and chanted sutras all day long, and Sha Monk was cautious. And the meek and perfect Fighting Victory Buddha seemed to be a completely reborn Monkey King.
Until Bajie discovers that a trace of Wukong's soul has not been extinguished and is hidden under the Flame Mountain where the brotherhood was established. He resolutely gave up his position as the envoy of Jingtan, and joined forces with Tang Seng, who also knew the truth, to start a rescue that went against the will of heaven.
"This time, it's me who comes to you, Brother Monkey."
