Chu Qi didn't know the story of Journey to the West very well, but she knew the general content more or less.

The main story of Journey to the West is about Tang Sanzang, a monk from the Tang Dynasty, who went to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures under the order of Emperor Li Shimin.

The journey to obtain the scriptures was very difficult. During this period, the four masters and apprentices experienced various disasters and went through 81 difficulties before finally obtaining the true scriptures.

The story has a happy ending. The four masters and apprentices were all conferred the title of Buddha. Tang Seng became the Sandalwood Merit Buddha, Sun Wukong became the Fighting and Victory Buddha, Zhu Wu became the Altar Purifier, and Sha Wujing became the Golden Body Arhat.

However, is it really perfect behind the seemingly perfect appearance?

Wukong loved freedom all his life, but he was trapped by Buddha all his life. He was confined to a small piece of land and worked for the Buddhists all his life, without any freedom.

...We've gone off topic.

Having said that, the reason why Chu Qi was able to transform into Tang Monk was because Tang Monk was not a good person by nature.

In the original novel, he is hypocritical, selfish, stubborn, and cowardly. Apart from chanting spells, he can only hold others back, which makes things difficult for Sun Wukong.

The cold mechanical voice of the No. 009 Good Man System rang in Chu Qi's mind:

[Ding, the host level has been updated to an intermediate host. The nature of the mission has been expanded to redeem all things, including but not limited to humans. No. 009 wishes you a pleasant new journey.]

[Friendly reminder: This conversation will not be recorded as memory seal content]

[Ding, the world mission has been updated: Free Sun Wukong, current mission completion rate: 0.00%]

The current story timeline of Journey to the West is roughly in October.

Tang Seng set out on September 13th. Li Shimin was afraid that he would be bored alone, so he specially sent two servants carrying shoulder poles to entertain him.

Unfortunately, the two servants were eaten by a monster not long ago.

Chu Qi inherited Tang Monk's memory, and also had the original description of Journey to the West in his mind.

It is said that after his servants were eaten, the helpless Tang Monk was rescued by Taibai Jinxing. When he arrived near Shuangcha Ridge alone, carrying his luggage and his Zen staff, he was blocked by tigers and poisonous insects.

The original text reads: "There are poisonous insects on the left and monsters on the right. Sanzang is alone and helpless. He can only let go of his body and mind and leave it to fate."

Chu Qi put down the nine-ring staff behind her, which had a gorgeous appearance but was extremely heavy and useless.

She twisted her neck and moved her wrists, and found a bright yellow creature in the distance slowly approaching; on the left and right, there were also big snakes approaching.

Well...it’s the supporting actor Liu Bochin’s turn to appear next.

As a ruthless man who lives in Shuangchaling and makes a living by hunting wild beasts, he is known as the Mountain Guardian and is the strongest mortal supporting character who saves Tang Monk's life in the Journey to the West.

Knowing that this time he had been reincarnated as a protagonist who would never die, Chu Qi became extremely relaxed.

Seeing the big beasts and poisonous snakes getting closer and closer, she pretended to be terrified and kept backing away. She didn't know what she bumped into, but she sat down on her butt and collapsed on the ground, unable to move.

Hey, I’m tired of standing, let’s sit down and take a rest!

Above the clouds, the Bodhisattva, who had been keeping an eye on Tang Seng's movements, frowned and almost couldn't help but fly down to save this important figure in the layout of thousands of gods and Buddhas.

But after a while, the Bodhisattva relaxed his brows because he saw a muscular man rushing towards Tang Seng not far away.

At the moment the sturdy man appeared, the tiger turned around suddenly and ran away in a hurry; the big snake dived directly under the leaves on the ground, shaking its head and tail, the leaves rustled, and soon it disappeared without a trace.

"Elder, are you okay?"

Watching the tiger running away with its tail swung, the sturdy man walked up and asked Chu Qi, who was wearing a colorful cassock and looked very precious, with concern.

Chu Qi took a rest and recovered her strength. With the help of the man, she stood up with trembling hands, her face still terrified:

"Thank you for your help, I am fine."

"Amitabha, may I ask who this hero is?" She recited her catchphrase in a serious manner, speaking slowly and calmly.

"Well, I'm not a hero!" The sturdy man said modestly, and then he spoke with undisguised pride: "I am Liu Bochin, the guardian of Shuangchaling. Who is the elder?"

Chu Qi: "I am a monk appointed by the emperor himself to seek Buddhist scriptures. My Buddhist name is Xuanzang."

"It turned out to be Master Xuanzang."

Liu Bochin nodded and said with a smile, "Elder, please follow me. I will escort you out of here. There are not many people around here, and there are many beasts and poisonous insects! It is really dangerous for you to walk alone."

"It's sad to say that I was accompanied by two servants, but unfortunately they were killed by the beasts..."

Chu Qi wiped her crocodile tears sadly, and followed Liu Bochin to his home.

On the way, the two men ran into a tiger. Liu Boqin said hurriedly, "Elder, don't leave. Sit here. The sound of the wind is a mountain cat. Wait for me to take its home to treat you."

So Chu Qi used her perfunctory acting skills again, her legs went weak, she wiped the sweat off her face, and she sat down comfortably on the spot, trembling.

The original novel describes: "They fought for an hour, then Tiger Claw slowly relaxed and was stabbed in the chest by the fork raised by the Taibao. Poor guy, the tip of the steel fork pierced his heart and liver, and blood immediately flowed all over the ground."

In other words, she had an hour to rest.

After pretending for a while, Chu Qi moved her butt back, not caring whether it would dirty her gorgeous and luxurious robes, and leaned against the roots of a big tree, closed her eyes and took a nap.

She had just crossed over and her head was inevitably aching, so she had to have a good rest.

On the top of the cloud, the Bodhisattva frowned again, thinking that Tang Seng's behavior was extremely rude! He didn't care about the gorgeous cassock he gave him at all!
