My name is Lin Xiao, and I am splitting when I transform into Sun Wukong. Faced with the "fine decoration" of Shuilian Cave, the "just" acceptance of disciples by Patriarch Bodhi, and the "automatic" recognition of the master of the Golden Cudgel - I realized: this Journey to the West is a scripted play. So during the Bi Ma Wen period, I reformed Tianma's performance appraisal, and in the Peach Garden, I used inferior peaches to expand my network. Five hundred years under the Five Elements Mountain, I have seen through the scripts of immortals and Buddhas all over the sky. Accompany Tang Monk to learn scriptures? Can. But I asked Bai Gujing to leave her job voluntarily, and Jin Jiao and Yin Jiao had to sign an equipment use agreement. Until the real and fake Monkey King, I put the golden cudgel on Liu Er's shoulder and said to Ru: "Director, it's time to settle the pay for this scene." This is not my fault, I want to overturn this arranged chessboard.

[Author's words: You are invited to draw the road to Qitian together]
This story begins with a "what if": If Sun Wukong vaguely knew the fragments of his future destiny before stepping out of Huaguo Mountain, how would he choose? So, I tried to put the familiar mythical hero back into a more complex and real world. Here, "Monkey King" is not only a slogan for fighting against heaven and earth, but also an arduous journey to find "why I am who I am" amidst the established destiny, calculations of all parties, and the power of chaos.
I constructed the dangerous symbiosis of the bloodline of the "Lingming Stone Monkey" and the "Poisonous Fire Crystal", making it both a source of power and a metaphor for identity. I describe the eternal tension between the "order" of heaven and the "wildness" of Huaguo Mountain, making every banquet, every decree, and every battle a collision of values. I depict the glory and shadow of the sworn brotherhood of the "Seven Great Sages", making the brotherhood appear more complex in the face of interests and life and death.
But this story doesn't just belong to me.
I have buried many "blanks" and "wrong paths": the true origin and ending of the Poison Fire Crystal? What is the call deep in the bloodline of Lingming Stone Monkey? What power do the mirrors and shadows behind the "Inspiration King" represent? What role does seemingly transcendent Buddhism play in this situation? Even Sun Wukong's knowledge of the "script" will lead him to a more determined resistance, or to some deeper nihilism and rage?
I long to hear your voice. Do you see the possibilities differently than I do? Do you have your own interpretation of a character's motivations? Do you have any bolder guesses about subsequent developments? Or are you simply struck by a certain moment and want to share that resonance or thrill?
Please leave your thoughts in the book review section or next to your favorite passage. Every interpretation and every bit of inspiration you give is a re-creation of this mythical world and is the greatest inspiration to me. Let us move forward together and see how this monkey, who knows his destiny, will eventually make this road to "equal to the sky".
Looking forward to meeting you between the lines.
