Synopsis

He is the real Xuanzang from history: the Buddhist monk Chen Xuanzang. No imperial travel permit, no group of four pilgrims, no white dragon horse, no brocade kasaya. Twenty-four years of solitary travel, a hundred thousand miles through cloud and moonlight. He mastered both Mahayana and Theravada Buddhism and founded the Yogacara school. On the day he passed away, he was reborn, only to discover that he had become the timid Tang Sanzang from the Journey to the West. Before him lay the scripted eighty-one tribulations, a world-shaking deception disguised as trials meant to temper him. Mount Ling has rotted. False Buddhas rule, and the gods’ merits are built on the blood and tears of all living beings. Wukong thinks I’m going to fetch the scriptures. Tathagata thinks I can convert him. They’re both wrong. I’ll walk the Journey to the West again for three reasons: To spread the great way of Yogacara, end the incense offerings at Mount Ling, and put all the false Buddhas in the heavens on trial! I’ll show this world that the true scriptures have never been in the Western Heaven. They’re in people’s hearts. “If there are no true Buddhas in this world...” He stepped out of Chang’an, his gaze calm, yet powerful enough to set the heavens ablaze. “Then I’ll be the one to lay down new rules for this world, crowded with gods and Buddhas.” He won’t fetch scriptures, only preach the Dao. He won’t worship the Buddha, he’ll put him on trial. This is the ultimate challenge from a sage of the mortal world to all the gods and Buddhas in the heavens.

I rarely rate five stars. I feel that Xuanzang here is the real holy monk. No matter whether the person is a human, a god, a Buddha, a monster, or a person of high or low status, if you do something wrong, you have done something wrong. He will not put it down lightly because you have a high status, nor will he downplay your grievances because you are just an ordinary mortal. He will step forward to seek justice. Many people write fan fiction and forget why they embarked on the westward journey. Writing and writing turns into fighting over territory, magic weapons, and beautiful fairies. They keep talking about the Three Realms and the common people, but they can't even look at the injustice in front of them.

If I don't go to hell, whoever goes to hell means that for the sake of salvation, I am willing to be infected with the three poisons of greed, anger and ignorance, and I am willing to face fear and pain. When I decided to be contaminated by cause and effect, I had already anticipated that there would be boundless entanglements and karma, but I was still willing to go deep into the tribulation and face it bravely.

Five stars is five stars. I am a man of my word. I think the writing is super nice. Just like what I said in the paragraph, it gives the reader the impression of a "reasonable person" rather than a disorderly child. Anyone who has read the other book knows which one I am talking about. The author personally certified that it will not be related to the daughter king. The five stars are completely worth it. God doesn't know how long I have been poisoned by the pair of Tang Monk's daughter king. I haven't felt any knocks. Come on.

This book is okay, but why is it not rated?

I can only say that this is the most rigorous Journey to the West fanfic I have ever seen. I think what he explains is very good, and there is a spirit in it that I can't describe.

The perspective is unique, there is no plot of fighting and killing, but it has a profound meaning.
