Chapter 192 Enlightenment, Kill My Wukong
"Difficult." Ye Fan clenched his fist and punched the monkey to the ground with his backhand.
This monkey is a more troublesome enemy than the Qing Emperor's body of faith.
This is not because it is very strong. On the contrary, the monkey's realm is far from reaching the realm of the Great Emperor. The various Taoist combat skills are only at the level of ordinary cultivators, and there are many loopholes in front of Ye Fan.
But the monkey is extremely tenacious. After being beaten by Ye Fan, it resurrected on the spot. Even if it was evaporated and smashed into slag by the supreme Taoist contained in the fist, it can still appear in the void again.
"System, what is it?"
[...Detection completed, host, it is Sun Wukong]
"Sun Wukong?" Ye Fan was a little confused.
I call myself Sanzang, and then a Sun Wukong popped up. Isn't this a little too coincidental?
[Host, Journey to the West can tell you the answer]
While fighting, Ye Fan recalled the content of Journey to the West.
Considering Journey to the West, the so-called Tang Monk's journey to the west is the story of recovering the monkey, Zhu Bajie, and Sha Wujing, and then leading the Westward Group to the Lingshan Mountain.
The Monkey King was born, subdued demons, and had all kinds of magical powers. The story was written very well. Even people who don't have much literary talent can appreciate the Monkey King's resistance to the heaven, his unrestrained and free and unruly.
From a literary point of view, the story is well written, and everyone can see the growth of the person they like.
The main story of Journey to the West starts with Tang Monk's journey to the west. All kinds of causes and conditions along the way are related to him. Even if Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, and Monk Sha are put aside, he can complete the journey to the west alone.
When encountering demons, the gods in the sky came down to the earth to subdue demons. When encountering insurmountable heavenly punishment, the masters of Taoism and Buddhism came down to the earth to help. It can be said that Tang Monk was completely sent in all the way, and he is the most important.
But this is just a description from the text of Journey to the West alone. In fact, Journey to the West describes an artistic story.
To truly understand Journey to the West, you must connect it with the corresponding prototype, that is, the real historical event of Sanzang's journey to the west.
- A mortal for the Buddha, holding on to the Tao.
"What is Sun Wukong in it?"
Before it got a name, it was a beast. To put it nicely, it was a spirit monkey, to put it bluntly, it was a monkey that could be seen everywhere.
But was it the mortal before enlightenment?
"You are-Sun Wukong!" Ye Fan looked at the monkey swinging his fist and pointed out the name.
The monkey has no name, no personality, and follows the nature of heaven and earth.
Or, it is the shadow of heaven and earth.
The world is rotten, the monks are like poison, poisoning the universe. This poison, which was born millions of years ago, nourished the monk who does whatever he wants-Sun Wukong.
"I am...Sun Wukong?"
The monkey put down his fist. It didn't know why, and stared at its palm blankly, looking at a loss. Its heart is beating now, and the originally empty heart is now concrete.
"It can be regarded as a guest appearance as Bodhi Patriarch, but I think it is more like a singing woodcutter."
Ye Fan shook his head, and there was a personal feeling on his fingertips.
The fingertips flashed with light, and the monkey in front of Ye Fan, which was originally turning black and red, fell to the ground. It rolled over and its body gradually became ethereal.
"Sun Wukong, you are better to play it yourself." Bai Mo raised the corner of his mouth and looked at Ye Fan.
Gandalf, the embodiment of the will to fight, may be very suitable to play Sun Wukong, but this is not Journey to the West after all. Ye Fan is not Tang Monk, but Sanzang Tathagata, so it is better for Ye Fan to play Sun Wukong himself.
"System, what exactly is he?"
[God's Will]
For cultivators, its essence is noble.
In terms of feet, Sun Wukong carries Gandalf's will, the will of the universe, and is the embodiment of God.
If it really knows what its essence is, Sun Wukong transforms into a super Saiyan, and it is estimated that when it comes to fists, it carries the concept of "war" accumulated over millions of years. Gandalf comes to fight for him, and the universe can beat the emperor to death with a slap.
Keeping alert in his heart, Ye Fan looked at the gradually blurred shadow with a serious look.
If it is God's will, then can we see the current situation of the universe through it?
Thinking of this possibility, Ye Fan took a deep breath, gathered his divine power, and cut himself.
The void turned into a god, and a "Ye Fan" in the sea of suffering jumped out. He arched his hands to himself and threw himself into the shadow.
While feeling these changes, Ye Fan asked: "System, did you do this?"
[Yes...]
Ye Fan nodded, and then looked at himself who was gradually becoming "Sun Wukong".
This beheaded god is a clone, with the same level as Ye Fan, except that the battle duration is affected, and the rest are very different.
"A Journey to the West drama." Bai Mo stretched out his hand and rubbed his forehead.
The script is very suitable for Ye Fan.
From a certain perspective, Journey to the West is a very outstanding practice method. Putting aside the mythological elements in it, its core is very suitable for Ye Fan.
Ye Fan, like Sanzang, went forward alone and faced the problems he saw alone.
Sanzang left the Tang Dynasty alone, without the emperor to welcome him, without a special pass, and even without a guard to take care of him. He set out on the road alone.
He crossed the desert and went to Tianzhu, and then practiced in the local Buddhist temple. He was honored as Master Sanzang, and returned to the East with these scriptures along the way. It took him several decades.
In Journey to the West, Tang Monk has already accomplished his mission.
But for Sanzang, it was just the beginning.
The political struggles of the Tang Dynasty, the infighting of different Buddhist factions, the pressure from the Tang Emperor, and the problems faced in translating scriptures.
Sanzang completed the translation in the sword and passed on the Buddhist Dharma.
And he, who completed it all by himself from beginning to end, was still honored as a Buddha at this time.
"It's the same with Ye Fan." Bai Mo shook his head.
Sanzang preached, not the Buddhist scriptures but the words of various schools of thought. Facing the chaos of the universe, he needed to cure this corrupt disease with his own strength.
On the road alone, Ye Fan was alone. No one would be like him, witness the will of the people, be willing to bear its heavy burden, go on, give up the rights, status, and power of the monks, and work hard on the ants of the mortal world.
Ye Fan faced the problems of this universe. He needed to preach and tell these monks about good and evil with his own views on the world.
At the beginning, the monks lacked education and guidance, and were completely determined by their own ideas.
Because the monks want to live, they have to do this.
But this is also wrong. The monks have been dragged into this quagmire and cannot change, which makes them unable to betray their class.
"Sun Wukong tells you the problems of the universe, what needs to be solved, and how far you have to go to mend the sky."
Bai Mo flicked his fingers.
The Sun Wukong killed by Ye Fan will be the protector of the way. The golden hoop of good and evil falls on its head, and its power is restrained and limited.
Then... what about the other characters?
