What if she didn't want to eat Tang Monk's meat, but wanted to wait for a monkey?
Five hundred years ago, the Jade Rabbit Spirit died of exhaustion trying to save Sun Wukong at the foot of the Five Elements Mountain, and carved his obsession into the fragments of the Sky-Mending Stone. Five hundred years later, the fragments were embedded in the heart of an unknown skeleton in Baihuling, giving birth to a brand new soul - Xiyue. She heard Sun Wukong crying for five hundred years, so she dressed in white like the moon and walked west.
On the way to learn the scriptures, she stood in front of him time and time again: blocking the banana fan for him in the blazing fire at Pingding Mountain, asking "Have you really seen me" for Baihua in Wanzishan, and trading her lifespan for charcoal at the bottom of the furnace at Huoyan Mountain. But Sun Wukong wears a golden hoop that constantly erases memories, but he learns one thing again after every forgetfulness - to cherish someone.
On the Lingyun Ferry, Xiyue dissipated into light in his arms and turned into two resonant heartbeats. When the golden hoop fell off, five hundred years of memories came flooding back. He finally understood: some people are not meant to be forgotten, but meant to be carried in their hearts.
On the day he became a Buddha, Tathagata asked: "You don't want to let go?" Sun Wukong pressed his heart, where two hearts were beating: "Letting go of her means letting go of myself."
Fighting and defeating Buddha·Sentiment. He embedded Xiyue's stone into the top of the golden cudgel and returned to Huaguo Mountain. On the night of the full moon, he spoke to the stone and told her story to the world.
Because being remembered is another kind of eternal life.
