After broadcasting the ancient times live, I handed the system over to the state.

Zhu Qinggu only watched some videos of Zhu Bajie (Pigsy) arguing with people, and when she returned to the recommendation page, the big data immediately recommended the first episode of the restored version of "Journey to the West" to her.

Although I've watched it many times, I can always force her to watch it to the end.

After all, it's a Douyin short video platform, so they've already cut a long episode into several short episodes, each about ten minutes long.

I checked the time and there was still a little time left, so I decided to watch another episode.

So the people under the canopy saw a few words: Episode 1, The Monkey King's First Appearance.

Is Miss Zhu going to watch the TV series "Journey to the West"?

The group of people who were initially frightened by Zhu Bajie's image gradually became less afraid of him because of his humorous remarks. Many people under the canopy were staring at the "Journey to the West" on the screen, wondering how the journey would unfold.

On the sea, where waves crash against the shore, stands a stone mountain. Beside the mountain, on a reef, lies a rock that resembles a human figure.

The surging waves rolled in one after another, making countless people who had never seen the sea widen their eyes in amazement.

Soon, lightning flashed and thunder roared, and with a deafening boom, the human-shaped stone exploded, shaking the magnificent heavenly palace.

A monkey tumbled and flew into the sky, then landed on the ground, where it adorably played in the water.

None of the gods in Heaven knew what had caused this commotion.

After observing the situation, the clairvoyant and the all-hearing realized that a stone monkey had been born in the mortal realm.

When the Heavenly Court and the Jade Emperor appeared, even though they knew it was a celestial curtain, and that it was played by people from later generations, many people were still trembling with fear and wanted to kneel down and worship.

But soon, most people became mesmerized, especially when they entered the Water Curtain Cave, where the white mist was ethereal, a veritable fairyland!

……

After watching a short episode, everyone under the canopy was still eager for more and instantly fell in love with this stone monkey!

An old monkey died, and the Monkey King went out to find the secret to immortality, but it's unknown whether he found it!

Many people are already looking forward to watching the next episode to see how the story unfolds.

Jiajing was also somewhat engrossed in watching, especially when the monkey said he wanted to find the secret to immortality, which immediately piqued his interest, but he quickly lost interest.

He also knew about the novel "Journey to the West" and knew that it was not a true story.

Sizi was initially terrified, but now, watching the group of monkeys jumping around, she wasn't scared at all. After one episode ended, she wanted to watch the next one, but the curtain went out, and Sizi was still pitifully waiting for the next episode.

"Yay, I want to watch more!"

Li Shimin also wanted to see it, but he couldn't contact Miss Zhu, so he couldn't. He comforted Sizi, saying, "Once we contact Miss Zhu, we'll ask her to show it to us, okay?"

Sizi was a little happier after hearing that.

The others showed similar sentiments, saying that if they could get in touch with Zhu Qinggu, they would definitely make him show them the TV series "Journey to the West".

By the next day, the novel "Journey to the West" had already been published, and the sales of printed copies of "Journey to the West" exploded. Even teahouses and taverns started telling stories and recounting the later parts of "Journey to the West".

Wu Cheng'en's name suddenly became famous.

Why is it that his books have been adapted into TV series in later generations, and are now being broadcast in various dynasties?

They knew about Feng Menglong before, but since no TV series starring Feng Menglong had been released, ordinary people like them didn't understand what those CP pairings were like, but Monkey and his friends did!

Without the timeline of "Journey to the West," I only watched one episode before the curtain went out, leaving me scratching my head in frustration. I wish Miss Zhu could show me a second episode!

When will we finally be able to get in touch with Miss Zhu?

In ancient times, most people had little entertainment at night. The purpose of the canopy was to provide entertainment and also to facilitate social interaction. Families could discuss things together at night and share them with others the next day.

……

Zhu Qinggu became more and more engrossed in watching it. She had already watched it many times with her grandparents and still loved it.

Just by looking at it, time slips away.

She quickly turned off Douyin, got dressed, grabbed her books, and went out to find a place to study. As soon as she stepped outside, a heavy rain started pouring down, soaking her a little. She had to go back inside, change her clothes, and dry her hair.

"It seems like it's not a good day to go out!" Zhu Qinggu shook his head slightly.

Not long after, Xu Lingfang returned, soaked to the bone. "Don't even mention it," she said. "I had walked quite a distance when it started pouring rain, so I had to rush back."

"The weather forecast didn't say it would rain." Wang Minghua hadn't planned to go out tonight, and she was somewhat relieved to see how disheveled they all looked when they came back.

"Weather forecasts are mostly accurate, but sometimes it's hard to say." Zhang Xiaosheng also stepped back. "Luckily I brought an umbrella, but my shoes are all wet. The rain outside is so heavy that you can't even see the road."

Zhu Qinggu went to collect some clothes and went outside. A streak of lightning flashed across the sky, illuminating it clearly. Soon after, a loud clap of thunder startled her.

"Could someone be undergoing tribulation?" she muttered casually.

"After the founding of the People's Republic of China, no spirits are allowed." Zhang Xiaosheng also came out to collect the clothes. "Maybe it's a dragon... Never mind, I have a bad mouth. It's best if nothing happens! Every time it rains heavily for days and nights, I worry about the vegetables my mother grows."

Zhu Qinggu was also worried, but it wasn't raining at home right now.

While she was drying her hair, she turned on Douyin again, intending to watch the next episode, which was about ten minutes long. Besides, the girls in the dormitory were either changing clothes or taking showers, so they couldn't concentrate on studying for the time being.

Sigh, Zhu Qinggu was making excuses for his temporary laziness.

The second episode was also only about ten minutes long.

So the people under the canopy noticed that not long after, the canopy lit up again, and this time it was showing "Journey to the West" again, so they could watch "Journey to the West" again.

Today is another day that I'm completely captivated by "Journey to the West"!

This time, the stone monkey came to a populated area and scared the people in the market half to death.

The ancient people under the sky all laughed.

Especially when these people went from being afraid at the beginning to making fun of them later.

Meanwhile, the barrage of comments floating across the screen also caught their attention.

[What time is this now? It seems to be the Eastern Han Dynasty? Or the Three Kingdoms period?]

[Should it be the mid-Eastern Han Dynasty?]

[Late stage, perhaps? Sun Wukong might encounter Liu Bei and Cao Cao. Wait, his surname is Sun? I have a strange idea.]

[I've seen plenty of unofficial historical accounts, but this is the first time I've ever seen such utter nonsense.]

Sun Quan: He doesn't want to hear how absurd this conjecture is at all!
