The videos I watched became popular in ancient times

Chapter 123 Journey to the West Part 1: The Monkey King Begins

As the afternoon approaches, many ancient people are ready to watch TV series.

After being baptized by various videos played on the screen before, ancient people from various dynasties have already understood what a TV series is.

Because of this, some ancient people who had nothing to do in the afternoon moved out their recliners and got ready to see how exciting "Journey to the West" that the anchor said was popular all over the country was.

In ancient dynasties and generations, ordinary people were busy all day long to make a living, and there were no entertainment activities at all.

Even for some powerful people, entertainment activities are scarce and extremely limited.

Therefore, ancient people from all dynasties are very interested in the upcoming TV series and are looking forward to it.

Ying Zheng ordered people to move the desk outside the main hall. He was going to work while paying attention to the movement of the sky.

If the TV series were just simple stories about gods and demons, he could handle political affairs.

But if there is anything important, he can know it in time.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Su Chen turned on his tablet and set up three consecutive episodes.

After a while, pictures began to appear on the sky screen.

[Episode 1 The Monkey King comes out]

Ancient people from all dynasties were very puzzled by this. Is Journey to the West a story about monkeys?

Why is the protagonist not human?

What's so cool about a monkey?

But children from all dynasties watch it with gusto, whether they are humans or monkeys, they all like to watch it.

They couldn't understand many of the videos played on the marquee before.

Now there is finally someone who understands, and the name is very interesting, so everyone opened their eyes wide and stared at the sky without moving.

[There is a mountain in the sea of ​​Aolai Kingdom called Huaguo Mountain.

A stone egg was born on the top of Huaguo Mountain. After millions of years, the stone egg absorbed the essence of the sun and the moon.

Suddenly one day, the glittering golden stone eggs rolled down from the top of the mountain and cracked, and a crystal clear jade monkey was born. The jade monkey's eyes shined golden light directly into the heaven.

The Jade Emperor saw the golden light and wanted to know who was showing off his magical powers.

After careful inspection, Clairvoyance and Shunfeng Er told the Jade Emperor that it was a stone monkey made of the essence of heaven and earth.

The monkeys on Huaguo Mountain taught the stone monkey to eat peaches. After the stone monkey ate the peaches, its whole body became covered with hair.

All the monkeys gathered under the waterfall. The old monkey said that whoever has the ability to find the source without harming his body will be regarded as the king by all the monkeys. The stone monkey volunteered, flew into the depths of the waterfall, and found that it was a good place to live, a place for water. Curtain hole.

The stone monkey led the monkeys to live in the cave, and the monkeys regarded the stone monkey as the Monkey King. 】

"Revisiting the Classics"

"Back then, I only cared about watching monkeys, but now I'm back to watch beautiful women."

"The Jade Emperor: It turns out to be a stone monkey, don't worry about it"

"There are stone monkeys, there are stone monkeys, I will believe that everything has an end"

"At this time, the Jade Emperor had not expected the seriousness of the matter"

"The Water Curtain Cave leads directly to the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea and was built by the old Dragon King"

"New mission: Lead the monkeys over the waterfall and reward the title of Monkey King"

Ying Zheng glanced at the Monkey King in surprise, wondering, is this Monkey King really a monkey, or is it played by someone from later generations?
  A real monkey can't talk, but if it were played by a human, it would look too much like a monkey!
  Liu Che: Heavenly Court, Jade Emperor, Clairvoyance, Shunfeng Ear, etc. should all be fake, right? These magical powers look a bit rough, and they are obviously separated from the video picture.

Children from all dynasties saw the monkey flying to the Water Curtain Cave and becoming the Monkey King. They all cheered and clapped their hands for the Monkey King. Although the monkey was just born, it has great abilities. Not only can it fly, but it has also become the king of all monkeys.

[A little monkey drank fruit wine and fell down a mountain stream and died. The Monkey King didn't know what death was. The old monkey explained to him that life is impermanent, and everyone, old and young, will die.

The Monkey King doesn't want to die, nor does he want all the monkeys to die.

The old monkey said that only Buddhas, immortals, and gods are not controlled by the King of Hell, can avoid reincarnation, and live as long as heaven and earth.

The Monkey King traveled over mountains and ridges to seek immortality and learn the art of immortality, so as to benefit all monkeys. 】

"This tells us that drinking alcohol will lead to sudden death"

"King of Hell: Don't Come"

"The King of Hell: Why does my back feel cold"

"Drink to death, each of the monkeys sitting here has 30,000 yuan each"

"From this moment on, Brother Monkey began to have the idea of ​​resisting destiny."

"The main mission begins, exploring the true meaning of life"

"Brother Monkey lost his happiness when he left Huaguo Mountain"

Ying Zheng was originally dealing with political affairs with his head down, but when he suddenly heard about the art of immortality, he suddenly raised his head and looked at the sky.

Ever since he knew that he would die by taking the elixir, he had stopped taking it, but he still longed for immortality in his heart.

Now he suddenly heard that the Monkey King was going to seek immortality and learn the art of immortality, which greatly increased his interest.

But then he thought that this TV series was adapted from the novel "Journey to the West" by Wu Chengen of the Ming Dynasty, and that the magic of immortality should also be fictional, and a trace of disappointment appeared on his face.

But he still suspended his political affairs and decided to take a closer look at how the Monkey King learned the art of immortality, and maybe he could gain something from it.

[The Monkey King went to Xianyue Sanxing Cave to worship Patriarch Bodhi as his teacher. Since he had no father, mother, or surname, he asked Patriarch Bodhi to give him a name. Patriarch Bodhi named him Sun Wukong.

And in the dead of night, he taught the secret of longevity, and also gave Wukong a somersault cloud. One somersault is one hundred and eight thousand miles.

Wukong showed off his magical powers, and Patriarch Bodhi ordered him to leave the Xianyue Sanxing Cave. Although Wukong begged repeatedly, Patriarch Bodhi had made up his mind, and Wukong had no choice but to return to his hometown of Huaguo Mountain. 】

"The Slanting Moon and the Three-Star Cave, Lingtai Fangcun Mountain"

"Monkey: Master, why am I not named Hou"

"The Patriarch Bodhi is always the best teacher in Brother Monkey's heart"

"The same goes for our teacher. He said that after you leave society, don't say that I taught you."

"Master Bodhi: Talk about repaying kindness. If you cause trouble in the future, just don't tell the Master."

Ying Zheng:  …

He was speechless. Sun Wukong learned the art of immortality in the blink of an eye, and gained nothing useful.

He also wanted to watch how Sun Wukong learned. Even if the TV series did not have the art of immortality, there might be ways to strengthen his body. However, there was nothing and he felt lonely after watching it.

Li Shimin happened to have no government affairs to deal with in the afternoon, so he watched an episode of Journey to the West with gusto. He found it very interesting and couldn't wait to watch the next episode.

After watching one episode of Ming Dynasty's Wu Cheng'en, he understood that there were some differences between later generations' interpretations of Journey to the West and his. So far, the adaptation still satisfies him.

The children of various dynasties looked anxious when they saw that they were getting up, but the result was gone.

They are eager to know the next plot and what happened after Sun Wukong learned a skill and returned home.

They only watched one episode and were already deeply attracted by the plot of Journey to the West.
