Lin Mo, a social animal, died suddenly and his soul passed through him, becoming a stone monkey in the world of Journey to the West. He originally thought that the journey to seek spiritual enlightenment was a contest between monsters and monsters, but he gradually discovered that the most terrifying thing was never the monsters, but the greed and betrayal deep in the human heart.
On the way to learn the scriptures, the darkness of human nature is exposed layer by layer: Tang Seng appears to be compassionate, but in fact he hides his obsession with becoming a Buddha, and he does not hesitate to sacrifice the friendship between master and disciple to achieve his goal; behind Bajie's laziness is a selfish calculation, and he secretly betrays everyone many times; Sha Seng's loyalty is a disguise, he carries unknown secrets, and silently collects the essence of people who seek scriptures. Even the modern memory he relies on has become a tool for others to use him - Patriarch Bodhi's teachings are shackles, Zixia's warmth is a trap, and the Bull Demon King's alliance is use. The appearance of the six-eared macaque is just a mirror image of the darkness of the human heart, revealing his own inner struggles and desires. This journey of learning has never been about cultivation, but a trial of human nature. The demons and monsters can still be defeated, but once the darkness of the human heart sinks, there is no way back. And only by keeping his true heart can he save his soul in this game of human nature.
