Shen An, 25 years old, programmer, 996 social animal. The only happiness is lying on the bed in the middle of the night reading a dark Journey to the West novel - the kind where Sun Wukong smashes a spiritual mountain with a stick.
Then he died suddenly while working overtime.
When he woke up, he lay in the cold water. When he looked down, he saw a horse's face reflected in the water. White dragon horse. He turned into a white dragon horse.
Tang Monk is here, Sun Wukong is here, Zhu Bajie and Sand Monk are all here. But Shen An couldn't speak and could only watch. He found that something was moving under Tang Monk's robe. Sun Wukong's golden eyes were dark red. One of Sha Monk's Buddhist beads had a crack, and there was an eye looking out from the crack.
When we reached Lingshan Mountain, the mountain was not golden, but black. Monsters all over the mountain were kneeling on the ground, chanting sutras to a giant black shadow with nine eyes on the top of the mountain. The scriptures flowed out of his mouth as thick black pulp.
Tathagata is fake. Lingshan is a demon den.
This trip to the west was nominally for Buddhist scriptures, but it was actually sent by Heaven to investigate one thing: why Lingshan's combat power had expanded to such an extent within a hundred years. All the spies who had been sent were dead, and all news was lost. So Heavenly Court put together a strange combination - the rolling curtain general who was demoted to the mortal world, the Tianpeng Marshal who was kicked out of the heavenly world, the monster monkey who caused trouble in the heavenly palace, and the reincarnation of a golden cicada. It doesn't feel bad even if it's all folded on the road.
Among the four masters and disciples, one is a monster.
Right from the beginning.
