Chapter 1 [Under the Five Elements Mountain, Journey to the West World! ]
"Hey, kid, come on..."
The person who was speaking was actually a monkey. It had thick golden hair, which had been weathered by the wind and sun and looked very miserable.
Only the head of the monkey was exposed, and its entire body was embedded at the foot of the mountain.
The child it was talking about was actually a shepherd boy herding cattle. He was wearing light yellow coarse cloth clothes, the corners of his clothes swaying gently in the wind, as if carrying the freshness and freedom of the mountains.
He has a handsome face, and his brows reveal a calmness and tenacity that goes beyond his age.
Under the shepherd boy's seat was a big black buffalo, which was leisurely bending over to look for food. When it heard the monkey's words.
The calmness on the little shepherd boy's face, which was far more than that of his peers, had long disappeared, and turned into astonishment.
Looking at the monkey head at the foot of the mountain completely overturned Lin Xun's three views.
All I saw was a majestic Five Finger Mountain, standing proudly. Its five peaks were like the fingers of a giant, tightly interlocked, pointing straight to the sky, exuding an inviolable majesty.
But under such a huge mountain, there was a monkey. Not only did it not die, it could also speak.
This was a little hard for the materialist Lin Xun to believe, but when he thought about the fact that he had even traveled through time and monkeys could talk, what was the big deal?
It turns out that Lin Xun is not from this world. In his previous life, he was a livestock who had just graduated from college and finally passed the civil service exam.
As a result, he unfortunately died while trying to save a female comrade who fell into the water during a charity event organized by the city.
Alas, when others act as heroes to save damsels in distress, they sacrifice their lives for them, but why is it that when it comes to me, I end up losing my life?
As expected, novels are all lies.
I don’t know which bastard will end up marrying such a beautiful woman.
Perhaps it was because good things happen to good people, that after Lin Xun fell into the water and died, he unexpectedly traveled into this world.
This is a world that is almost identical to ancient history.
In this life, Lin Xun is a cowherd, and his family has made a living by farming for generations.
The current emperor, named Yang Jian, is a monarch with great talent and strategy, although he usurped the throne from his own grandson, which is shameful.
However, during his reign, he unified the currency, rectified the household registration system, implemented the equal-field system, set up granaries, and carried out reforms, which indeed allowed the people to live a good life.
If it could have continued, it would have been fine. But in history, after Yang Jian's death, Emperor Yang Guang of Sui ascended the throne, and within a few years he ruined the huge Sui Dynasty.
Similarly, this also gave opportunities to some ambitious people, Lin Xun was one of them.
In his opinion, it was so difficult to travel through time, wouldn't it be a pity if he did nothing?
He couldn't afford to lose face for the time traveler.
Lin Xun planned to wait until he came of age and had a certain amount of strength, then he would learn the technologies of distilling liquor, refining salt, printing press, etc., then find a place to stay, build high walls, store up food, slowly become the king, and then compete for the world.
Perhaps it was because he died once that made Lin Xun braver.
Even though he knew that he would have to face an opponent as talented and wise as Li Shimin in the future competition, he was not afraid at all.
Although in this life, Lin Xun's starting point was very low and his family was an ordinary family, they could hardly give him any help on the road to hegemony.
But in history, not all founding emperors were from noble families; some were from ordinary farming families.
Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, was born in a poor family. He started with a bowl and created a new China.
He also used to herd cattle when he was young, and his experience was almost similar to Lin Xun's.
amount. .
Zhu Yuanzhang let cows go, and I also let cows go, which is equivalent to being half of Zhu Yuanzhang, there is nothing wrong with that!
But before Lin Xun's plan to compete for supremacy could be implemented, it was interrupted by the monkey in front of him.
The monkey speaks human language, isn't this definitely a monster?
In a world where demons are rampant, even if you become an emperor, you cannot be absolutely safe!
"Hey, wait a minute." Suddenly, Lin Xun seemed to have thought of something in his mind. His eyes lit up and he looked intently at the mountains and monkeys in front of him. The more he looked, the more interesting the expression on his face became.
“So it’s Journey to the West!”
At this point, Lin Xun still didn't know where this world was, so his reading of Journey to the West was a bit in vain.
No wonder he felt the scene before him was so familiar.
Aren’t these five mountains that suppress the monkeys the legendary Five Elements Mountains?
And the monkey is no ordinary monkey. He is the Monkey King Sun Wukong, the Great Sage Equaling Heaven who made a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace five hundred years ago. Because he lost the bet and battle of magic with Buddha, he was pressed under the Five Elements Mountain to repent and reform.
It turns out that the script I was holding was not Zhu Yuanzhang's script, but the script of the cowherd boy in Journey to the West.
Only then did Lin Xun realize that he had traveled through time and space and became a cowherd in the world of Journey to the West.
In the original novel, he picked peaches for Sun Wukong to eat, and after the other party escaped and went down the mountain, he also entertained Tang Monk and his disciples.
The first time Sun Wukong disobeyed his master's orders was to help the cowherd boy (the old man) eliminate the bandits and prevent future troubles.
When he was a child, Lin Xun didn’t understand the significance of what Sun Wukong did, but now looking back, he realizes that Monkey King is truly righteous!
The grace of dripping water is reciprocated by the fountain.
Only Sun Wukong knew clearly that once he left, the bandits would certainly cause trouble for the old man (the cowherd boy) again, so he ignored his master's obstruction and insisted on killing the bandits.
This is what is called "If you give me a meal, I will protect your whole family!"
Lin Xun looked next to Sun Wukong again, and sure enough, there was a tall peach tree with branches densely packed with heavy peaches.
Some are green, some are reddish, like stars dotted among the green leaves, exuding an enticing sweet scent that makes people salivate.
Lin Xun thought that no matter which world he was in, as an ordinary mortal, it would always be right to have the opportunity to make friends with Sun Wukong.
He jumped down from the cow's back and responded, "Hey, old monkey, wait a moment, I'll pick some fruit for you."
After saying that, Lin Xun walked quickly forward, picked a few large peaches next to the peach tree, and handed them to Sun Wukong.
As his entire body was pressed under the Five Elements Mountain, Sun Wukong could only show his head and one hand. His originally indestructible body was sealed and could not move.
At this time, it took the peach handed to it by Lin Xun and cherished it very much.
For hundreds of years, Sun Wukong was pressed under the Five Elements Mountain. Although the Buddha was very kind and asked the land to give him iron balls to eat when he was hungry and copper juice to drink when he was thirsty.
But Sun Wukong is immortal, with an indestructible body, and he has long reached the state of fasting, so how could he feel hungry?
The Buddha had people feed Sun Wukong iron balls and make him drink copper water, but this was not out of kindness, but to torture him.
Catch-up reading is important, especially for new books.
Follow-up reading refers to the number of people who read the latest chapter within 24 hours.
The amount of follow-up reading is crucial to the recommendation of new books.
Whether a book can continue to be written also depends on whether it can get enough recommendations during the new book period.
The author came from another site. This is his first time writing a book on Qidian. He doesn’t have much of a readership base.
I hope all book lovers can help click to catch up on reading. Even if you don’t read it for the time being, at least take the time to turn to the last page.
This is very important for the new book, thank you!!
