Chapter 55: If this is Journey to the West
The most dangerous place is the safest place. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
That being said, in the current situation, it is still not very acceptable.
"Hey, after all, we're going to reach the Western Heavens, aren't you going farther and farther away?
"Of course not in vain. Wang Ye said in a deep voice: "From the sand dunes to the White Bone City, we found Tang Seng and learned a lot of information, and these gains alone are worth the trip." More importantly, we should be able to analyze something from this information. ”
"Something?" Wu Ya frowned slightly, he keenly felt that Wang Ye's suggestion was not groundless: "Look at your appearance, it's not just to avoid Xuanwu Zhiming that you chose to go in the opposite direction, right?"
Wang Ye smiled approvingly, in the entire team, the person who could discover his thoughts for the first time was none other than Wu Ya.
"You're right. Wang Ye smiled and said: "There are many ways to hide from Xuanwu, and reverse is only one of the best strategies. The reason why I want to reverse is mainly because of the three words 'Journey to the West'. ”
"Journey to the West?"
Journey to the West is a related work of this sub-world, although it is very different from the Journey to the West we are familiar with, but it is inextricably linked.
"Think about it, from Dune to Bone City, what is the name of the mutant beast we encountered?" Wang Ye prompted.
"Dune is a black bear monster, and Bone City is a white bone spirit. Bu Yu rushed to answer.
"That's right, then think about it, in the story of "Journey to the West", where is the place where the white bone spirit was encountered in the section of the road where the black bear monster was encountered?" Wang Ye continued.
"First met the black bear monster, and then after receiving the Bajie sand monk, there were three allusions to the white bone spirit. Geographically speaking, because everyone is heading west, the White Bone Cave should be in the west of the Black Bear Monster. "As a writer, Bu Yu knows a lot about classical classics.
"Exactly. Wang Ye gave a thumbs up and said: "I think so, although this world is very different from the Journey to the West world we have seen, it has the same name in many places. Can we understand it this way, it's not that this world is not the world of Journey to the West, on the contrary, this is indeed the world of Journey to the West, but our previous understanding of the world of "Journey to the West" was wrong. ”
"Huh?" everyone was stunned.
"We never know how Wu Chengen wrote "Journey to the West", we only know that he was a Ming Dynasty person, and for people in the feudal era, they have their own habitual way of expressing and interpreting things. In their eyes, anything that cannot be understood is just demons, monsters, and fairy spells. So can we make such a bold guess that Wu Chengen has been to this world, no matter what time and space and what way, maybe it is connected by dreams, or something else, he once saw it in his mind about the trialist protecting Tang Xiaosheng to go to the Western Heaven, so the work "Journey to the West" was born. ”
Wang Ye paused, and then said: "That is to say, the various stories described in "Journey to the West" are the events that happened in this world that were mapped to Wu Chengen's mind, and under the circumstance that he made it up, it became this masterpiece. But for Wu Chengen, who was born in that era, he didn't know what high technology was, nor did he know that this was the scene of the end of scientific and technological civilization, in his eyes, this was just a world of demons and monsters. Immortals are evolved people, demons are mutant beasts, that's all.
When I first got Tang Xiaosheng's data disk, when I saw the words 'White Bone Spirit', this idea was born. When I saw the black bear monster again, the thought was especially strong. And in the White Bone City, in addition to the White Bone Spirit, we met Hu Ba again. At this time, I began to wonder if all this had a certain correspondence with the story of Journey to the West.
The black bear monster is the black bear monster, the white bone spirit is the white bone spirit, and the white charm era sports car we drove all the way, its afterimage is like a dragon when driving at high speed, and the four-wheeled ground is like a horse when stationary, maybe it is fictionalized by Mr. Wu as a white dragon horse. When Hu Ba appeared, his beard immediately reminded me of Monk Sha, but then we encountered Xuanwu Zhiming, who was good at using sand, which made me change my judgment. Judging from Hu Ba's chubby body shape and his multiple incarnation skills, what he reflects is more like the thirty-six changes of Zhu Bajie, and the sand monk of the quicksand river may be Xuanwu Zhiming. ”
"I'm Zhu Bajie!?" Hu Bajie said dissatisfiedly.
But that's not the point. Wang Ye smiled and said: "Don't you think that as a story of "Journey to the West", it has developed to the present, and the most critical person is missing in the whole story?"
This reminder, everyone invariably thought of a name.
"You mean......" Buyu exclaimed.
"That's right. Wang Ye smiled: "It is the Monkey King who made trouble in the Heavenly Palace, the absolute male number one in the entire "Journey to the West" story - Monkey King, Sun Wukong." ”
"I see. Wu Ya slapped his hand fiercely, Wang Ye prompted this, he had completely understood: "You mean to say that there can't be no Monkey King in this story, it's just that we haven't found Monkey King." According to the route map of Journey to the West, the place where Tang Seng unsealed Sun Wukong should be in the direction before encountering the black bear monster, that is, the direction further east than the location of the sand dunes!
"Exactly. Wang Ye nodded seriously: "Do you remember when the trial first began, we were surprised by the difficulty of this trial?"
"'Chen' difficulty, the third difficulty trial. Wu Ya responded.
"I remember you said that there is only a challenge from recruits and commanders, and it is impossible to have a 'minister' difficulty test. I don't think it's very likely that the city will break it. Therefore, there may be other reasons why this trial is a 'minister' difficulty. Wang Ye said meaningfully: "For example, it is very likely that there is also a trialist suitable for the difficulty of 'minister' who participated in this trial, but we have not met him all the time. And this powerful trialist must be the core character that has been missing in the story - Monkey King. Whether we can pass this trial, I think he is the most critical link, and only with his help can we break through the Heavenly Court defense line!"
