Ji Xiaoyin, 31 years old, holds a PhD in geology and is an expert in drilling engineering.
The highest mountain she has climbed in her life is the Tanggula Mountains on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau; the deepest pit she has ever seen is a 720-meter rock core sample she drilled by herself.
Then with a flash of white light, she turned over to Dongsheng Divine Continent.
There is a mountain here called Huaguo Mountain; there is a monkey who just jumped out of the stone and is thinking about life in front of the waterfall.
She should have studied the rock structure, vegetation distribution, and magnetic field anomaly index here.
But the talking monkey asked her: "Where does life come from and where does death go?"
She knelt down and looked level with it.
"I don't know either," she said, "but we can go and ask together."
——
Later, the monkey got a name, Sun Wukong.
Later, they traveled across mountains and seas together to find a man named Patriarch Bodhi.
She later followed it, taking the westbound road.
Later, someone asked her: You, a modern person, follow a monkey to obtain Buddhist scriptures. What do you want?
She thought for a while and said:
"Picture an answer."
——
This is a story about searching.
Looking for eternal life, looking for the truth, looking for the way back.
Find out what is on the other side of the mountain.
And——
How a monkey became the Monkey King.
How a scientist becomes herself.
——
I dedicate this article to all those who cross mountains and ridges.
