Chapter 192 Enlightenment, Kill My Wukong
"It's difficult." Ye Fan clenched his fists and punched the monkey to the ground with his backhand.

This monkey is a more troublesome enemy than the Green Emperor's faith body.

It’s not that it is very strong. On the contrary, the monkey’s realm is far from reaching that of the Great Emperor. Its various Taoist magic and combat skills are just that of an ordinary cultivator, and they are full of loopholes in front of Ye Fan.

But the monkey was extremely tenacious. After being beaten by Ye Fan, it resurrected on the spot. Even if it was completely evaporated and shattered into slag by the supreme Taoism contained in the fist, it could still reappear in the void.

"System, what is it?"

[…Test completed, host, it is Sun Wukong]

"Sun Wukong?" Ye Fan was a little confused.

I call myself Sanzang, and then a Sun Wukong suddenly appears. Isn't this too much of a coincidence?
[Host, Journey to the West can tell you the answer]

While fighting, Ye Fan recalled the contents of Journey to the West.

Considering Journey to the West, the so-called Tang Monk's journey to the West to preach is the story of recapturing the Monkey King, Zhu Bajie, and Sha Wujing, and then leading the journey to the Lingshan Mountain as a team.

The Monkey King was born, he subdued demons and monsters, and he also had all kinds of magical powers. The story was very well written. Even people without much literary talent can appreciate the Monkey King's rebellion against the Heavenly Court and his unrestrained and free spirit.

From a literary perspective, the story is very well written, and everyone can see the growth of their favorite person.

The main story of Journey to the West starts with Tang Monk's journey to the West. All kinds of causes and effects along the way are related to him. Even if Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie and Monk Sha are left aside, he can complete the journey to the West alone.

When encountering demons, the gods in heaven came down to earth to subdue the demons, and when encountering unbearable divine punishment, the masters of Taoism and Buddhism came down to earth to help. It can be said that Tang Seng was completely escorted all the way in, and he was the most important.

But this is just a description based on 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, one must connect it with the corresponding prototype, that is, the real historical event of Tripitaka's journey to the West.

——A mortal man pursues the path of Buddha.

"What is Sun Wukong in this?"

Before it got a name, it was a wild beast. To put it nicely, it is a clever monkey, to put it bluntly, it is a monkey that can be found everywhere.

But is he the same mortal being before enlightenment?

"You are - Sun Wukong!" Ye Fan looked at the monkey swinging his fist and pointed out his name.

The monkey has no name, no personality, and follows the natural world.

Or, it is the shadow of heaven and earth.

The world is rotten, and the monks are like poison, poisoning the universe. This poison, which was born millions of years ago, has nurtured a monk who does whatever he wants - Sun Wukong.

"I am...Sun Wukong?"

The monkey put down his fist. He didn't know why, but stared at his palm blankly, at a loss. His heart started beating, and his empty heart became concrete.

“It can be considered as a guest appearance by Bodhi Patriarch, but I think he is more like a singing woodcutter.”

Ye Fan shook his head, with personal insights on his fingertips.

There was a flash of light at the fingertips, and the monkey that was originally rolling with a black and red glow in front of Ye Fan fell to the ground. It rolled over and its body gradually became blurred.

"Sun Wukong, it's better for you to play the role yourself." Bai Mo raised the corners of his mouth and looked at Ye Fan.

Gandalf, the embodiment of fighting spirit, may be very suitable to play the role of Sun Wukong, but this is not Journey to the West after all, and Ye Fan is not Tang Monk, but Tripitaka Tathagata, so it is better for you, Ye Fan yourself to play the role of Sun Wukong.

"System, what on earth is he?"

【God willing】

To a monk, its essence is nothing less than noble.

In terms of footwork, Sun Wukong carries the will of Gandalf, the will of the universe, and is the embodiment of God. If he really knows what his essence is, Sun Wukong transforms into a Super Saiyan, and it is estimated that when he fights with his fists, he carries the concept of "war" accumulated over millions of years. Gandalf comes down to fight for him, and the universe can beat the emperor to death with a slap.

Ye Fan kept his guard up in his heart and looked at the gradually blurry shadow with a serious expression.

If it is God's will, then can we use it to see the current state of the universe?

Thinking of this possibility, Ye Fan took a deep breath, gathered his divine power, and killed himself.

The void turned into a god, and a "Ye Fan" jumped out from the sea of ​​suffering. He bowed 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 gradually becoming "Sun Wukong".

The divine calculation that was beheaded was an avatar, with the same level as Ye Fan. Except for the fact that the battle duration was affected, there was a big difference in other aspects.

"A Journey to the West drama." Bai Mo rubbed his forehead with his hand.

The script is very suitable for Ye Fan.

From a certain perspective, Journey to the West is a very good practice method. Putting aside the mythological elements, its core is very suitable for Ye Fan.

Like Sanzang, Ye Fan moves forward alone and faces the problems he encounters alone.

Sanzang left the Tang Dynasty alone. There was no Tang Emperor to greet him, no special pass, and even no guards to take care of him. He set out on his journey all alone.

He crossed the desert and went to India, then practiced in the local Buddhist temples. He was honored as Master Tripitaka and brought these scriptures back to the East. The journey took several decades.

In Journey to the West, at this time, Tang Monk had already achieved perfection.

But for Sanzang, it was just the beginning.

The political struggles in the Tang Dynasty, the infighting among different Buddhist factions, the pressure from the Tang Emperor, and the problems faced in translating scriptures.

Tripitaka completed the compilation with the sword and passed on the Buddhist Dharma.

Even though he completed it all by himself from beginning to end, he is still revered as a Buddha at this time.

"The same goes for Ye Fan." Bai Mo shook his head.

Tripitaka preached, not Buddhist scriptures, but the words of various schools of thought. Facing the chaos of the universe, he needed to cure this disease of corruption with his own strength.

Ye Fan was walking alone on the road. No one would be like him, witnessing the will of the common people, willing to bear its heavy burden, go on, give up the rights, status, and power of the monks, and work hard among the ants in the mortal world.

Ye Fan is facing the problems of this universe. He needs to preach and tell these monks what is good and evil, right and wrong based on his own views of the world.

In the beginning, the monks lacked education and guidance and were completely left to their own devices.

Because the monks want to stay alive, they must do this.

But this is also wrong. The monks have been dragged into this quagmire and cannot change, which makes it impossible for them to betray their own class.

"Sun Wukong tells you the problems of the universe, what needs to be solved, and how far you have to go in repairing the sky."

Baimo snapped his fingers.

The Sun Wukong killed by Ye Fan will be the protector of the way. The golden hoop of good and evil will fall on its head, and its power will be restrained and limited.

So...what about the other characters?
