Modern office worker Lin Shen woke up one day transmigrated into the Tang Dynasty as the eminent monk Xuanzang.
From the start, he found himself at the Water and Land Dharma Assembly, with the entire court waiting for him to preach.
Other transmigrators got a System. He got the entire plot of Journey to the West.
Before the monsters even showed up, he had already beaten a tiger senseless.
At the foot of Five Elements Mountain, he crouched down and asked the monkey who had been trapped there for five hundred years, “What’s your name?”
At Gao Village, he talked Marshal Tianpeng into joining his gang over a meal.
At Yellow Wind Ridge, when Wukong’s eyes were blinded by demonic wind, he charged at the monster and shouted, “Fart so I can smell you!”
In Chechi Kingdom, before the three Taoist masters could even perform their magic, his verbal assault had them all spitting blood.
At Lion Camel Ridge, seeing the mountains covered in white bones, he swore on the spot: “Once I become a Buddha, I’ll make sure that demon king is reduced to ashes.”
He’s greedy, sharp-tongued, and a bit of a coward. Whenever something happens, his first thought is, “Where’s my monkey disciple?”
But during the Three Strikes Against the White Bone Spirit, he stood in front of Wukong with his monk’s staff in hand. “I trust my disciple. Anyone who wants to hurt him will have to get through me first.”
In this life, he won’t be the Tang Monk who drives Wukong away.
Along the road to the Western Heaven, through the Eighty-One Tribulations, he’s determined to forge a path of his own: “My fate is mine to command, not Heaven’s.”
