My name is Jiang Liu'er, I was born in Nanzhan Buzhou, and I am a member of the Tang Dynasty. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

I grew up in Jinshan Temple and was a reserve monk who worked in the temple.

Why Reserves?

Because I haven't turned 18 this year, according to the rules of the monastery, I haven't reached the age of real ordination.

It is said that I was born without parents, and I was picked up by the elder of Jinshan Temple from the river, and because I was picked up by the river, he gave me the nickname Jiang Liu'er. However, in fact, he also gave me a legal name called Xuanzang, but in comparison, I still prefer the name "Jiang Liuer".

Of course, that's not what I'm trying to focus on right now.

I would like to say that at the age of fifteen, I had a dream.

I dreamed—

I became a different person.

Or rather, in this dream, I was given a new lease of life.

My name as a newborn is Tang Sanmu, and I am an ordinary boy.

What a strange world in this dream! There are big flying birds, fast iron bumps, and very tall houses everywhere, all of which are dozens of zhang high at a glance, bigger than the house where the emperor lives.

It's a strange world, and it's really different from the world I live in now.

At least, in my current world, people don't go out dressed like that at all.

The name of this dream world is called Earth, and my new identity -

Tang Sanmu is one of the citizens of a country called China on earth.

Yes, I can't control who I am and what I do in the dream, but I feel like the dream is long and real.

In this strange dream, my life was relived all over again.

From the time I learned to walk and speak, I received a completely different education than I do now.

When I was in elementary school, I learned Chinese, mathematics, and English.

When I was in junior high school, I learned biology, geography, history, politics, physics, and chemistry.

When I was in high school, I learned higher levels of biology, geography, history, politics, physics, chemistry.

-- There are several very strange disciplines, there are no four books and five classics, no poetry and songs, not even a hundred family names, and no three-character classics.

Moreover, it seems that in the world of dreams, children must learn.

The period of study before junior high school is called "nine-year compulsory education".

In this way, in my dream, I experienced a different eighteen years.

After elementary school, I went to junior high school, and after I finished junior high school, I went to high school.

Then, on the day of my high school graduation ceremony, I suddenly woke up.

Well, I finally woke up from my dream and went back to the real world I was in.

As the old saying goes: Zhuang Zhou dreams of butterflies, which refers to the fact that people occasionally can't distinguish between illusion and reality.

Frankly, the dream was too long and too real. Eighteen years! After waking up, I couldn't even figure out whether my name was "Jiang Liu'er" or "Tang Sanmu", whether I was a member of the Tang Dynasty in Nanzhan Continent, or an ordinary Chinese citizen on the earth.

But one thing is clear to me -

In those eighteen years, I have lived a hard life, not only because the dream is very long, but also because the dream is very real.

What's more, the impact of this dream on my three views - to be precise, the word "three views" was also taught to me by the dream world, and it is impossible for me to have such advanced words in the Tang Kingdom of Nanzhan Buzhou, where I am located.

Yes, my "three views" -

The worldview, outlook on life, and values have all changed after those 18 years.

I no longer believe that there are gods and monsters in this world.

In the dream world, the earth is a world dominated by science and technology, although it is vast, it is only an asteroid in the universe. The universe beyond the earth is very vast, and even if there are extraordinary powers that humans do not know about, they are only "unknown" elements, and they cannot be classified as "gods and monsters".

When I admit that there are "gods and monsters" in the world, I am inferior in self-confidence, which is not in line with the education I received in my dreams.

The education received in the dream is humanitarianism, emphasizing equality and mutual respect, and when "gods and monsters" are mentioned, humans are usually full of awe of "gods and monsters", believing that these are inherently superior to humans.

But I don't believe it, they are all high-level creatures with intelligence, why should ordinary people be inferior to gods and monsters?

I don't know if there are monsters and gods in my world, but I often hear that there are spirits in a certain place, or living gods appear.

Perhaps this world is different from the earth, and there will be a lot of monsters and immortals.

But, from this day forward, I will never believe it, and I will not admit it-

There will be "gods and monsters" in this world.

―――――――――― this story is purely fictional, please don't make a fool of yourself――――――――――

"Xuanzang, today is the day of your ordination, why are you so depressed?"

In the Jinguang Temple, an old monk in a robe, with a slightly puzzled expression, was asking a young man in front of him.

The young man who was asked was Jiang Liu'er, who was born with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, with dark and deep eyes, like stars twinkling.

It's just that such a beautiful boy has a bald head.

In addition, the eyebrows between the foreheads are also missing two points, and even the eyelashes, which are flat and lose a bit of handsomeness.

Jiang Liu'er shook her head: "Master, is it really necessary for me to be ordained as a monk?" Frankly speaking, I don't want to be a real monk, eating fasting and reciting Buddha and reciting Goethe scriptures every day, but I can't enjoy the ups and downs of the world, the seven emotions and six desires...... This is not the life I want. ”

The old monk frowned, and then sighed: "Xuanzang, it is rare that you have a smart temperament and a very high understanding of Buddhism, but the six roots are not purified...... In fact, I wanted to let go of the ordination as a teacher, but last night Guanyin Bodhisattva dreamed of me, saying that I wanted you to serve as the person who took the scriptures from the West, but this ordination is unavoidable. ”

"People from the West?"

Hearing this, Jiang Liu'er tilted her head.

Ever since he experienced the world in his dreams, he has learned that the world he lives in is an imaginary world.

Yes, this world, what Nanzhan Buzhou, what Tang Kingdom, it turns out that these are all from a novel called "Journey to the West". Because the novel is one of the four great masterpieces of China in the dream world, Jiang Liu'er is familiar with the content of it, and for a period of time after waking up, he ruled out a series of coincidental factors, and confirmed the identity of the worldview after many geographical verifications.

This novel is a long novel of gods and demons, telling the story of a monk named Tang Sanzang, starting from Chang'an City, under the protection of four gods and monster apprentices, "Sun Wukong", "Little White Dragon", "Zhu Bajie", "Sha Monk", experienced nine hundred and eighty-one difficulties, and finally obtained the true scriptures from one of the four continents, Xiniu Hezhou, that is, the West Heaven.

Jiang Liuer didn't want to be a monk, because he didn't want to repeat the fate of "Tang Sanzang" in this novel.

Tang Sanzang in the book, although he is a master who takes learning scriptures as his responsibility, but in fact he is a cowardly personality, hypocrisy and fear of death, and a person who lacks transcendent understanding, although he is kind and benevolent, but he can't distinguish between right and wrong, good and evil are unknown, and he blindly submits and is weak to the evil forces, and he is really a coward.

And this identity of Tang Sanzang is precisely a very unlucky correspondence with Jiang Liuer himself.

Since the dream, for many years, Jiang Liuer has never admitted that there are gods and monsters in this world.

The so-called "demons and monsters", in his eyes now, are just the so-called "evil forces".

Just as he can't believe in gods and monsters, Jiang Liu'er will never believe in evil forces.

And if he is ordained as a real monk, he will repeat the fate of Tang Seng and go through the so-called "ninety-nine eighty-one difficulties" "given" to him by the gods, which Jiang Liuer categorically cannot accept.

In order not to become a monk, or even the cowardly Tang Sanzang.

In the past three years, as a mortal, Jiang Liuer has made a lot of efforts.

During the day, I did my homework in the temple, rang the bell and chanted the Buddha, chanted the Sutra and Goethe, and at night, I took two hours out of it.

100 push-ups, 100 sit-ups, 100 squats, 100 frog jumps, 10 km run.

Although this bit of muscle training may be a trivial, even laughing exercise, for those immortals.

However, for Jiang Liu'er, this represents an important step in his desire to rebel against fate.

In this way, from the time he was fifteen years old, time passed day by day.

For three years, three whole years, he was doing this muscle building.

At first, he was really tired to death, after all, his body is a "cream boy" in a bad sentence, he has no power to restrain the chicken, he is very weak and can't help the wind, it seems to blow and fall, and he can't wait to take a break during training, even if it is to rest for a second.

However, for the belief in the ideal in my mind, the strength that I am unwilling to admit defeat.

After three years, Jiang Liuer finally endured it, and it didn't break for a day!

However, as the training progressed, Jiang Liuer noticed the changes that had taken place in her.

The first year had passed, and his hair had lost half of his hair, but he seemed to have gotten stronger enough to fight bears in hand-to-hand combat.

The following year passed, and his hair was bald by three-quarters, and the rest of his body was also decreasing day by day, eyebrows, eyelashes, beard, leg hair, armpit hair, even the hair on his penis, etc., etc., all fell out.

However, he became stronger, and his body jumped dozens of feet, and a single punch could break a mountain.

At this point, Jiang Liuer had already discovered that something was wrong.

However, the rebellion against fate made him not care so much.

In his head, there is only training, training, training!

So, the third year passed.

Jiang Liu'er's hair was completely bald, and she couldn't find a single hair on her body.

At the same time, his strength has become even stronger, incredibly strong.

There was once a weasel spirit, in the village next to the Jinshan Temple to make a monster, took away a lot of chickens, ducks and livestock, but also injured a lot of people's lives, the village people spent money to invite a lot of Taoist masters to do things, but all were killed by the weasel spirit.

It can be seen that this weasel spirit has a very high Taoism, I am afraid that there are thousands of years.

However, Jiang Liu'er, who rushed to hear the news, just punched lightly.

Really, just by the fist wind, the weasel spirit was gone, and he was dying.

Jiang Liu'er didn't know why she became like this.

But one thing is for sure.

Now he is very strong, although he still can't go to the sky and the earth like a "god monster", but-

These "gods and monsters" can no longer be his opponent.

However, the price of gaining power is very heavy.

Jiang Liu'er not only lost the hair on his body, but also lost the most important thing for human beings.

Complex emotions.

His emotions are becoming more and more pure, and his circuits of thinking about things are becoming simpler and simpler.

There is a place where Jiang Liu'er just said a good thing to the master.

He doesn't want to be a monk, he wants to enjoy the ups and downs of the world, seven emotions and six desires.

However, this wish of his has become more and more difficult to realize with the passage of time.

One thing remains constant, though.

Jiang Liuer never believed that there were "gods and monsters" in this world.
