They should pair him with a fake Sun Wukong, the Six-Eared Macaque, and the second senior brother, the Wild Boar Demon.
Didn't Tang Sanzang want to go to the Western Paradise to obtain Buddhist scriptures and learn Mahayana Buddhism? Would the Buddhist teachings summarized over so many years be considered Mahayana Buddhism in the Tang Dynasty? If so, could one instantly attain Buddhahood at the altar a month later, based on that alone? And could one's Dharma teachings immediately spread throughout the nine heavens and ten earths?
I've thought of something interesting.
Let the male lead just recite the entire line from Black Myth, spoken by Huang Mei! 😃
I have a few thoughts, and they feel quite incongruous to me. First, the little demon could see that Tang Sen was extraordinary and was gradually gaining magical power, while the wolf demon master was completely oblivious to the protagonist's changes. Huang Mei wasn't surprised either; he hadn't taught the protagonist any magic techniques, so where did the protagonist get his magical power?
After reading the synopsis, it's hard to believe. Even if Tang Sanzang in Journey to the West wasn't the reincarnation of Jin Chanzi, the Buddha's chief disciple, and was even reincarnated as a mortal, he had diligently practiced Buddhism for ten lifetimes. The protagonist is supposed to be on par with Tang Sanzang? Are you kidding me?
I have a suggestion: when a highly virtuous monk is saving all sentient beings, he should be traveling westward, traversing countless lands, and rescuing people. He should have already attained Buddhahood, instead of scheming and plotting against a few demon kings to determine whether the real or fake Tang Sanzang is real.
I still prefer Jiang Hua's version of Tang Sanzang to the original.
Jiang Hua's portrayal of Tang Sanzang is truly exaggerated. He has unwavering faith—not just in the pilgrimage to the West, but in the path he's walking on. He's kind, loving towards his disciples, and respectful to his superiors without being servile.
About this book
This book follows two parallel storylines. One is Tang Sen's path of self-growth, where he has to stay in Xiaoleiyin Temple for a period of time due to a survival crisis and encounters various opportunities and epiphanies. Another storyline involves Huang Mei, who will use Tang Sen to create a false image of a Buddha.
Damn it, in real life I run away from slow-burn novels! Your novel is slow-burn too 😅 It's so frustrating 😅
After reading the introduction, I remembered a famous civil service exam question: Tang Seng is not a person, but refers to a monk in the Tang Dynasty. Although it is absurd, from this perspective, Tang Seng is the fake Tang Seng 😜 because he did not come from the Tang Dynasty.
