Lin Jiang was stunned. When other people transmigrate into the world of Journey to the West, they become the Great Sage Equal to Heaven or Marshal Tianpeng. He, on the other hand, transmigrates into the “Great Sui Pilgrim” from before the Tang dynasty.
That’s right, he’s the unlucky “Ninth Incarnation of the Golden Cicada” who makes it to the Flowing Sand River, gets eaten in one bite by Sha Wujing, and has his skull strung into a necklace!
With his travel permit for the journey west already issued and the Bodhisattvas in Heaven watching him march to his death, Lin Jiang decides to flip the table to save his own skin.
Sun Wukong is trapped beneath Five-Finger Mountain and can’t get out? No problem. He recruits the Six-Eared Macaque, who desperately wants an official position, as his stand-in!
Zhu Bajie is still a marshal in Heaven? Easy. Find a wild boar demon with the ancient Taotie bloodline and give him a secret identity!
Little White Dragon hasn’t broken any heavenly laws yet? Just go to the Eastern Sea, kidnap a purebred dragon, and dye it white!
When Lin Jiang leads this “all-villain substitute team” to the Flowing Sand River, Sha Wujing is ready to eat them according to the script. But when he sees the terrifying aura of great demons radiating from the group, he drops to his knees in the mud. “Holy Monk, this isn’t how the script goes! I’m the victim here!”
Tathagata Buddha: “You were supposed to build up tribulations, but you brought a bunch of stand-ins and cleared the whole thing ahead of schedule? What’s the point of sending the tenth incarnation on the pilgrimage now?”
