"The Strange News of the Golden Thread River" tells a tender story about protection, memory and fireworks in the world.
Zhu Bajie, the envoy of Jingtan, could not stand the rules and regulations of Lingshan, so he transformed into "Zhu Yuanwai" and lived in seclusion by the Jinxian River in the western Luxi plain for twenty years. On an ordinary summer day, he woke up from a dream of playing in the water with village children, only to find that the avatar in his dream - another Zhu Bajie - had burst into reality from the dream. The self that ran out of the dream had exactly the same temperament as him, but was purer and more detached.
The peaceful rural life was broken. Various strange phenomena began to appear in the Jinxian River: the river water became sweet for no reason, eggs broke on their own, and the crooked jujube tree produced fruits that smelled like flat peach. An old book "Jingtan Secret Records" that has been passed down from generation to generation appears in the text on its own, revealing that there is an ancient mythical beast "The Spirit of Harvest" hidden at the bottom of the river - a golden bull. On the night of the full moon of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the golden bull broke out of the water. The greedy man failed to hit the watermelon with the time-stricken watermelon. Instead, the pure hearts of the two children received gifts from the mythical beast.
After that, Gao Cuilan's last letter written hundreds of years ago appeared in the book, triggering an unresolved relationship that spanned three hundred years. Sun Wukong, Erlang God Yang Jian, and Sha Wujing arrived one after another, and Master Jin Chanzi revealed the truth: the Golden Thread River is the eastern branch of the "Compassion Water Vein" that runs through the world, and Zhu Bajie's dream is the key to awakening this water vein. The mortals who have been farming on both sides of the river for generations are the real guardians of the water veins.
This is not only a story about gods descending to earth, but also a gentle song dedicated to the land and home. All the waiting will finally end, and all the protection will be fulfilled.
