From yearning to becoming a mascot in the entertainment industry

Hearing Bai Lu's somewhat cold voice, Yun Mu felt a little flustered.

"Um, um, I'm sorry."

Bai Lu was slightly stunned.

"Are you okay? Why are you apologizing to me?"

"me……"

Yun Mu really didn't know what to say. He couldn't just say that he should have confessed to her before, right?

"Are you okay? If not, I'm hanging up."

"Wait, don't hang up yet!"

Yun Mu said hurriedly.

"You should be fine now."

"You owed me a movie and a meal! Isn't it time to pay me back?"

Bai Lu was originally waiting for Yun Mu to say something.

I didn't expect him to say this after all this time?!

She subconsciously wanted to refuse, but when the words came to her lips, they inexplicably turned into agreement.

"Row!"

"But let's make it a deal beforehand. I'll pay this time! And then we'll be even!"

After agreeing on the time and place, the two hung up the phone.

Yun Mu breathed a sigh of relief.

It would be great if we could make an appointment, and then we can explain it in person.

The location was chosen in Shanghai, which is closer to where the two are now.

When Yun Mu came to his senses, he found that the little golden monkey was still looking at him innocently.

However, after seeing the blood-stained golden cudgel, he felt that this little guy was not so innocent.

Yun Mu leaned over and gently rubbed its little head.

During this period, its size has grown several times larger, visibly to the naked eye.

"What you're watching is just a TV show. It's fake and doesn't exist."

"There are no so-called fairies in this world."

"The only animals you hurt in the woods were ordinary animals."

"If you attacked them for self-protection, competition, or predation, that's normal, and you did the right thing."

"But if you attack simply for the sake of attacking, then you're doing something wrong."

Yun Mu spoke slowly.

Although the little guy has lived with him for a long time, he has become somewhat human and can understand human language.

But you have to speak very slowly.

Seeing the little guy's doubtful expression, Yun Mu repeated it slowly.

This time the little guy understood.

Its face was full of disbelief.

Then he pulled Yun Mu to the living room with an anxious look on his face.

I skillfully turned on the TV and found Journey to the West, which I had watched countless times.

She stretched out her little hand, pointed at the TV, looked at Yun Mu, and squeaked.

The voice was very urgent.

Yun Mu understood what it wanted to express.

"That's right, this is fake. It doesn't exist in reality."

"Dang Cang."

The golden cudgel that was originally held tightly in the little guy's hand fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

Its pupils kept trembling, and its little face was full of disbelief.

After a long time.

It slowly turns off the TV.

It returned to its resting place weakly.

The golden cudgel that was once so precious was just thrown on the ground without even being looked at again.

Seeing its appearance, Yun Mu picked up the golden cudgel and gently placed it next to it.

Comfort it softly.

"It's okay, even though the world depicted in the TV show is fake."

"But it is still our literary work."

“Moreover, it is also based on real events that happened in history.”

The little golden monkey was startled and looked at Yun Mu expectantly.

"During the Tang Dynasty, there was a great monk named Xuanzang. To reflect the historical context, later generations respectfully called him Tang Xuanzang."

"And he is the prototype of Tang Monk in Journey to the West."

"During the Tang Dynasty, Xuanzang traveled west to India, the birthplace of Buddhism."

"This is what is called the journey to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures."

"It took Xuanzang 17 years from the beginning of his journey westward to his return to the Tang Dynasty. He encountered countless hardships and dangers during this time, but he brought back a large number of Buddhist scriptures for the Tang Dynasty."

Yun Mu looked at the little golden monkey steadily.

"And this story is the origin of Journey to the West."

"However, the mythological stories in it do not exist, and the Monkey King Sun Wukong is naturally fictional."
