Chapter 161: Again and Again
"Believe me, please believe it, this "The Legend of Wukong" will not disappoint the audience. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ info "Ling Xin is telling the truth, and she is also full of confidence in this novel.
Maybe the audience will see it in the fog in the early stage, anyway, the audience doesn't know who the "free teacher" is, even if they send the blade to the editorial department of "Spring", ......
It is not an exaggeration to describe the audience's reaction here, after all, there are so many excellent articles in front of Zhuyu, and every article written by Ling Xin after will be compared with the previous ones, so in fact, the "taste" of those freewheeling fans is getting more and more mouthful.
In fact, this is also the name of this novel, as well as the image of "Journey to the West" itself, the image of Sun Wukong is too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
"The Legend of Wukong", when you look at the title of this book, you almost instantly think that this is an exciting story of the Monkey King killing the Quartet and subduing demons, right? No matter how anxious it is, it's also the story of Sun Wukong crossing the other world to fight in all directions, right? But what the hell is the first chapter of this "The Legend of Wukong"? How can these masters and apprentices be like a few ruffians? Sun Wukong also killed the master with a stick?!
But if you look at it carefully, even if it's the first chapter that "destroys the original" on the surface, don't care too much about the image collapse of the master and apprentice, in fact, the first chapter has a lot of wonderful places.
In the first chapter of "The Legend of Wukong", Tang Seng was caught by the Dryad, according to our original understanding, Tang Seng should be generous and righteous, fearless in danger, but when the Dryad allowed him to say his last words, what we didn't expect was that he loudly reduced the word "help". Tang Seng's language makes people laugh at the same time, but also deconstructs the sacredness of Tang Seng's image, and makes people see Tang Seng's side as a secular human being who seeks advantages and avoids disadvantages, greedy for life and afraid of death. Through Tang Seng's cry for help, a kind of pseudo-sublime created in "Journey to the West" was completely dissolved.
Among them, one of Tang Seng's lines is also very classic.
"Because I want to live, I can't hide the desires in my heart, just as I love you beautiful in my heart, how can I pretend that the four are empty."

In the story of "Journey to the West", many of the tribulations encountered by Tang monks and apprentices were caused by the negligence or poor supervision of immortals and Buddhas.
Due to the negligence and poor supervision of the immortals, their mounts or subordinates endanger the world, but the final result is that they are raised by the gods, and there is no punishment, and they are taken to the heavenly court to return to their original life. And as their master, there is no responsibility at all.
On the contrary, it is Sun Wukong, and they should be grateful to Dade in the face of these initiators. Just because they are gods. What they do is right, they are authority, and the rest of the cattle are only obedient.
Wukong in "The Legend of Wukong" is against God, his birth determines that he is not a god, he is a creature outside of God, and he believes that God and all things are equal, but God thinks that they are superior - etc., and wants all things to be sincerely under their own control.
But Goku wants to change all this, fighting against God, and although he is scarred every time, he never gets tired of it.
The Wukong in "The Legend of Wukong" is, in a sense, a metaphor. It represents the questioning of the legitimacy of this sacrosanct self-evident center, the hierarchy, the confrontation of authority and the effort to dissolve the center.
Ling Xin has not been able to accurately express all the meanings depicted in "The Legend of Wukong" so far, maybe she has over-interpreted? Anyway, she only understood the most obvious truth, which was the monkey's struggle for freedom again and again.
She flipped through this novel again and again, and always felt that there was a feeling of depression in her heart, but she couldn't describe that feeling, maybe this is also the reason why "The Legend of Wukong" is regarded as the "first book on the Internet", right?
I remember that Ling Xin saw such a dialogue, which was the same as the feeling of Sun Wukong in "The Legend of Wukong", who knew that he would fail but still rushed forward.
A father's friend saw the young protagonist scribbling beside him, so he asked:
"Hey, what are you doing?"
"Write Tibetan poems."
"Show me it!"
There is a real intention to open this room
Yuan (Yuan) old dreams are difficult to open
Sheng Xu family and country all over the world
In the mirror of the world, human affection withered
If the sky is on the other side of the Red River
The next moment to open the prosperous era
Weeping dry bones in the grave
The home road is the wandering of the four seas
Father's friend laughed:
"Hey, that little one. How do you think people should live? β
"I think? When people are young, from childhood to forty-five or sixteen years old, they should follow Confucianism and strive for fame and fortune; When you reach the age of 50, you are basically stereotyped, and you should believe in Taoism. If you do nothing, then you will cause trouble to your family if you toss it again; When you are older, after the age of 70, you should believe in Buddhism, stay away from the world, don't cause trouble to the next generation, and finish the last stage. β
"How old are you?"
"Eighteen."
"Although the idea is a little naΓ―ve, it is a little interesting, and it will definitely be useful in the future."
"It's not up to me to decide whether it's good or not." β
"Oh? So who has the final say? β
"God decides."
"Why are you so pessimistic at such a young age?"
"Uncle, you are so old that you don't know how to be pessimistic, which makes people feel uncomfortable."
"Hahahaha, kid, you don't understand, some things are not completely gone, but have just become silent."
"What's that?"
"Dreams and love. It is divided into two types: playing with life, shouting every day and working silently. The former is impulsive and motivating, but it doesn't work. The latter felt that he had given up, but in fact, this was the most passionate part. β
"Dream ......"
"Well, you didn't?"
"Yes."
"That's terrible, what's it?"
"Be a writer."
"I think it's okay, it's ...... young"
"It's all said, it's not me who has the final say!"
"I know, I know, destiny has the final say, right?"
"Yes."
"Hahaha, kid, I'll tell you, you have to persevere, be a writer."
"Why?"
"Not everyone has that foundation, not everyone has this life. For those of us who are still struggling to make ends meet, the saddest thing is those who are gifted but don't follow this path. β
"Why should a genius carry everyone's expectations?"
"God gave you this talent, and you have to carry something that ordinary people don't have."
"And what if I don't?"
"That's mediocrity, but as far as I know, no god can endure mediocrity, and most of them are 'forced' to become heroes."

That's all for the conversation, but it was one of the sentences that moved Ling Xin the most
"Dreams and love. It is divided into two types: playing with life, shouting every day and working silently. The former is impulsive and motivating, but it doesn't work. The latter felt that he had given up, but in fact, this was the most passionate part. β
Maybe it was this sentence that moved her and made her so impressed by this conversation?
When I was a teenager, it was the time when the second secondary school was rebellious, and I talked about my dreams all day long, just like the "father's friend" in the conversation said, "shouting all day long".
Yes, she also has that age, and when she sees someone, she shouts "My dream is xxx!" ".
At that time, I always thought that adults were people who had been erased by reality and lost their dreams.
But when she grew up and became one of the "adults", she realized that it was not that she had no dreams, but that she was hidden, buried in her heart, and looked like she had given up and had no dreams, but she was working silently.
In fact, who doesn't have a dream? When I grew up, I realized how ridiculous and unattainable my dream was, and I didn't mention it anymore, but many people worked hard silently.
Knowing that it is unattainable, but unwilling to give up, even if what is obtained is failure again and again.
So, this is the reason why "The Legend of Wukong" touches people's hearts, right? Because in reality, everyone who has a dream and can always pursue it without giving up is the monkey who fails again and again but fights again and again. (To be continued.) )
