Speaking of Journey to the West, I have to recommend a fan fiction novel based on the story. The protagonist is Yang Jian, and it's really good. The author's name is "Eternal Regret Flows Eastward," and it was a top-selling novel on Qidian back in the day.
I've always wanted to read a book like this—a time-travel story to the Tang Dynasty, where the protagonist finally becomes a winner in life, only to hear that five hundred years ago, when Wang Mang usurped the Han throne, a mountain fell from the sky, and beneath it lay a demonic monkey… 😜 Haha, just thinking about it is hilarious.
The central idea of Journey to the West itself is to lick the Buddha. . . The Chinese people traveled thousands of miles to kneel down and beg Asan to come and preach. . . There are problems with the plot itself. How can it be cleared up?
Judging from the synopsis, you were born in the Tang Dynasty during the Journey to the West. What are you afraid of? In the Tang Dynasty, even the Dragon King could be slain if he accidentally sent the wrong rain. What demons or monsters would dare to show their faces there? Throughout the entire Journey to the West, the Tang Dynasty was the safest place. The most dangerous monster Tang Sanzang encountered in the Tang Dynasty was just a tiger!

Why aren't you replying to messages? Did you put your phone in the fridge because it was too hot to handle?
Although it's a Journey to the West story, the protagonist, being a king, naturally has a fiefdom. How can a modern person not develop a technological foundation? Just think about atomic bombs, hydrogen bombs—launching them into Ximen Tianling Mountain is thrilling. And then there's the cobalt bomb, capable of destroying humanity—just thinking about it is exciting!
It seems this author didn't understand Journey to the West at all, and didn't know the story from the Tang Dynasty. Buddhism flourished because various monks and soldiers aided in suppressing rebellions during the Tang Dynasty, gradually gaining Emperor Taizong's permission. Before that, Taoism was the dominant religion. Journey to the West depicts the decline of Taoism and the rise of Buddhism.
It's really upsetting. This Tang Dynasty is so weak! Even a demon dares to wander into the capital. It feels like there's no main character; the fact that it lasted 50 years without being destroyed is already quite an achievement. It's painful to watch.
Author, I think you could drag Nuwa into this! Why not request a statue of Nuwa from the Five Emperors and Emperors? Send it to Five Finger Mountain! Let Monkey King worship it every day and complain about his suffering! After all, Monkey King was transformed from the five-colored stones left over from Nuwa mending the sky! He's practically a parent to her!
In fact, every school of thought has its own explanation, and they all believe in their own. But I have a theory about the invincibility of mythology, which is to firmly believe in the earliest stories in Chinese tradition. Regardless of what the other person or anyone else says, you only need to firmly believe one thing: Fuxi is the earliest creator god in China.
