Chapter 40: Do you know why Journey to the West?

  "Hello, dear readers and friends." The short seven words plus a period seemed like throwing a depth charge into the ocean.

  "Wow, is this really the legendary Tian'en Dada?"

  "Is it better to have two million in one day by the grace of heaven?"

  "When can Han Li become an immortal?"

  "Is the spiritual root really that important? Can only those with a complete spiritual root cultivate immortality? Why is there no mention of this in other xianxia stories?"

  "How many words is this book going to be? Don't finish it at just one million words, that's really not satisfying"

  "Does Tian'en have a girlfriend?"

  "What you said is of course true, otherwise how could he write a work like 'The First Intimate Contact'."

  "Right, I got to know about ordinary people through "The First Intimate Contact", fortunately, otherwise I would have missed a good book."

  "Where is Tianda from? How old is he?"

  ……

  A string of questions popped up, and all I saw was the screen flashing by so fast that I didn't even have time to respond.

  "Wait, wait, one at a time, you're asking so many questions at once, how can I answer? One at a time."

  "First of all, two updates a day is impossible, because I still need to take out time to write new books" Su Xichen hadn't even finished speaking when the group erupted again.

  "Is the new book 'Ordinary People's Cultivation Transmission' going to end already? Why is there a new book?"

  "Don't end it yet, there's still less than a million words, Tian'en, you can't do this."

  "Alright, rest assured on this point. As for my prediction, the book will end with over 7 million words. As for starting a new book, it's due to some other reasons. But don't worry, I won't slow down updates or compromise on quality just because I'm starting a new book. The quality remains the same, one chapter per day, 10,000 words."

  "As for when the protagonist becomes immortal, telling you all that would mean the end of this book."

  "As for the issue of spiritual roots, spiritual roots are extremely important in this book. However, each author has their own style, so the worlds they construct are different, and cannot be generalized."

  "As for whether I have a girlfriend or not, well this is personal privacy and I won't tell you guys."

  "By the way, can you reveal a little about the content of your new book?"

  "Come on, tell me about it!"

  "Sky Big V5, just say a little bit."

  "Given everyone's curiosity, I'll reveal a bit: the new book will no longer be in the cultivation genre, but rather fantasy, and its style is completely different from 'Ordinary Person's Cultivation Story', to the point where it can even be said to be the complete opposite. However, I believe it will still be a good book."

  "Also, another thing is that the new book is about Dou Qi."

  "Is Dou Qi really Western Fantasy?"

  "It's about martial arts, spiritual power, warriors, and mages. It should be like the Western fantasy of giant dragons, right?"

  Hehe

  "Doupo Cangqiong" has nothing to do with Western fantasy, it is a purely Eastern fantasy, especially the setting of hetero fire, Su Rixing thinks it is one of the most successful settings in "Doupo Cangqiong"!

  "For now, I can only reveal this much. Everyone will know when the new book is released." Then spent some time online, soliciting and taking in suggestions from readers.

  Don't think that Su Shiwen just goes online and types, not doing anything a screenwriter should do. In fact, regarding the script plan for "New Journey to the West", he had already designed it on the plane, which is novel and meets various requirements.

  The next day, Su Zhechen didn't have the habit of choosing a bed, so he slept very well that night.

  Everyone gathered in the living room early in the morning.

  "I believe all screenwriters discussed the plan issue yesterday. Can you give me a plan now?" asked Shao Feng to Yu Qiyuan.

  "On the issue of the plan for 'New Journey to the West', we unanimously decided to focus on another spiritual monkey, and we also decided to add a role that is not in the book - the Queen of Ten Thousand Demons. I suggested highlighting some other common legends, such as Erlang Shen opening the mountain to save his mother, and the legend of the Bedside Granny, etc. In 'New Journey to the West', although the main character is still Sun Wukong, the stories of the supporting characters must also be vivid and brilliant."

  Yu Qiyuan puffed on his cigarette, digesting what Shao Feng had just said. The smoke curled around him as he asked, "What's the main thread?"

  "I think the main line can be shifted from the 81 difficulties of Jiujiu, to the struggle between Tongbi Yuanhou and Sun Wukong, these two spiritual monkeys."

  "Hmm, this is the result of everyone's discussion." Yu Qiyuan looked around.

  "That's right" "That's it" "This is the result of our entire scriptwriting team's discussion"

  The result of the entire scriptwriting team, wasn't he a member of the scriptwriting team? How did they come up with this result without him even knowing when it was discussed? Su Xichen only then realized that it wasn't that the other scriptwriters were ignoring him, but rather that he had been isolated by those four other scriptwriters.

  "I have something to say." Su Shichen suddenly spoke up, "If you isolate me and don't discuss with me, I will directly overthrow the result of your discussion."

  "Oh, what's there to say?" Yu Qiyuan was delighted to hear this, after all, one person's plan is short-sighted and two people's plan is far-sighted. The collision between each other can give birth to more brilliant ideas.

  However, Xiaofeng and the other four screenwriters didn't think so, with malice in their eyes.

  Especially in Shao Feng's eyes, the disdain seemed to be saying that you, an outsider, understand nothing.

  "In the 58th chapter of Journey to the West, 'Two Hearts Stir Up the Great Chaos, One Body Fails to Cultivate True Nirvana', it is mentioned that within the Zhou Tian there are five immortals, namely the heavenly gods, earthly gods, human, ghost and five insects: dragonfly, scale, hair, feather and insect. And there exists a thing that is neither heavenly nor earthly nor godly nor human nor ghostly, nor is it dragonfly, scale, hair, feather or insect, not belonging to any of the ten categories... This refers to the legendary Four Monkeys of the Mixed World..."

  "We all know that we've watched the script of 'Journey to the West' countless times, and you're just saying that the original text features the Six Eared Macaque instead of the Long Armed Ape." - Shaofeng

  "This time's remake is about innovation. The story between the Six Eared Macaque and Sun Wukong is already well-known to everyone, so we took a different approach and wrote a new story about another spiritual monkey, the Long Armed Ape."

  "I'm not saying that, I'm asking if you know who Tongbi Youyou is and what he's done?" Su Xichen.

  "The only mention of Tongbiyuan in the original Journey to the West is as a monkey general. In the original text, Sun Wukong has four great generals under him, two red-buttocked macaques, and the other two are Tongbiyuan. You want to say that we don't respect the original work? If outsiders follow the original work, how can they remake it with new ideas? What we need to do is create a mythical Tongbiyuan." Shaofeng sneered.

  According to the book "Investiture of the Gods", Tong Bian Yuan Hou was originally the leader of the Seven Freaks of Meishan, Yuan Hong. In the war of Investiture of the Gods, he fought with Erlang Shen and neither could gain the upper hand. He had not eaten the Golden Elixir of Taishang Laojun, but still possessed an immortal body. In the end, it was only through the use of the Jiangshan Shijie Tu, a primordial spiritual treasure obtained by Nüwa from Hongjun Laozu, that he was sealed away. The ending is that he was eliminated by the mysterious Luocha Daoist with the Zhanshen Feidao, this is the Tong Bian Yuan Hou in mythology.

  "Oh, and this myth" Yu Qiyuan came with interest, and actually connected the Monkey King to Yang Jian and Fengshen.

  "Hmm, this is just a family saying, not credible." - Shao Feng.

  "Then I'll ask Shao Feng, the screenwriter, another question: why Journey to the West?"

  "Of course it was because of the spread of Mahayana Buddhism that Jīn Zhānzi was ordered to be reincarnated to fetch scriptures from the West."

  "Taking the Western Scripture is a Buddhist matter, so why did Laozi, a Daoist, support and promote Buddhism? Isn't promoting Buddhism weakening the power of Daoism? Why did he do this, and also why did the Jade Emperor in Heaven cooperate with Buddhism?"

  This question is sharp

  "It's because Buddhism is flourishing due to heavenly will, and as a Daoist sage, Laozi naturally sensed it and cooperated; the Jade Emperor did so too."

  "Why is it heaven's will that Buddhism prospers?"

  "Using strong words to seize reason, why are there so many whys?" Shao Feng was asked impatiently "Then you tell me why is this?"

  "Why the Jade Emperor cooperates with Buddhism is simple, because he has no choice but to do so. The reason for this I will mention later. As for why Laozi does so, it's also due to cause and effect. Laozi owes a great debt of karma to the Western Pure Land's Zhunti and the Guide, so there's no way he can't cooperate."

  "Just because it's a big deal doesn't mean you can just gloss over it and move on, that's not possible so I'll keep asking."

  "Do you know the way to Heaven?"

  "Know, the biggest villain of Fengshen is Tongtian Cult Master." Shao Feng.

  "Do you know the original relationship between Tongtian and Laozi?"

  "What kind of relationship can they have? Of course it's hostile" - Shao Feng.

  "You are wrong, high above the ninefold clouds, the Taoist truth is revealed. Outside the mysterious and yellow sky, I will hold the revered teaching. Pangu created Taiji, the two instruments and four images escaped. One Dao transmitted to three friends, two teachings explained and divided. The leader of the Xuanmen, one Qi transformed into Hongjun. This poem comes from 'Fengshen Yanyi', Hongjun is also the first saint in heaven and earth, at the same time according to this poem, Hongjun is also the master of Sanqing."

  "The Three Pures refer to the Great Clear Old Master, the Jade Pure Original, and the Supreme Clear Communicator with Heaven. In other words, the Old Master, the Original, and the Communicator are three brothers. The clear energy of Pangu transformed into the Three Pures, while the turbid energy transformed into the Twelve Ancestral Shamans!" Su Xuan's words stunned everyone.

  "There is another evidence that Laozi's mouth spat out 'red flower' lotus, the red flower transformed into a flat stick, the original mouth spat out 'white stem' lotus, the lotus stem transformed into three treasures like a wish, and finally the Tongtian mouth spat out 'green lotus leaf', the lotus leaf transformed into a green lily sword. This is what is meant by 'red flower white stem green lotus leaf, the three teachings were originally one family.'" Su Xuan explained slowly.

  "Even if Laozi, Tongtian and Yuanshi are brothers, what does it have to do with Laozi having to conform to Buddhism?"

  "Of course it's related. Tongtian has a treasure, also given by Hongjun Daozu, the Exterminating Immortal Four Swords. The Exterminating Immortal Four Swords cannot be broken unless by the Four Saints."

  "There are only nine saints between heaven and earth, so it is impossible for there to be ten. The Three Sovereigns became saints due to the merits of humanity, but they can only reside in the Fire Cloud Cave. This means that only six saints can roam freely in the world: Nüwa, Jiāo Yīn, Zhuān Tí, Lǎozǐ, Tōng Tiān, and Yuánshǐ. Therefore, Lǎozǐ invited Jiāo Yīn and Zhuān Tí, and then Lǎozǐ, Jiāo Yīn, Zhuān Tí, and Yuánshǐ joined forces to break through Tōng Tiān's Heavenly Sword Formation, causing the destruction of the Jiào teachings. As a result, all ten thousand immortals were listed on the Sealing Gods' List."

  It's precisely because of this that a great karma was incurred, so during the Journey to the West, Laozi had to cooperate.

  "So that's how it is. I didn't know there was such a story behind it. Then why did the Jade Emperor cooperate with Buddhism?" Yu Qiyuan's interest was thoroughly piqued, and he asked in pursuit.

  PS: It's finally out, and new chapters can be updated now. The cat doesn't know why it was reviewed either, sorry for the inconvenience caused to everyone.
