Screencasting of All Worlds Starts from Dragon Ball

After leaving the capital of Jisai State, Xuanzang and his party headed west. Their next stop was the Muxian Temple on Thorn Ridge. This place was rarely visited by people and was overgrown with thorns. The dense thorns were like a natural barrier, isolating the noise and disturbance from the outside world. When they stepped into this mysterious place, a completely different tranquil atmosphere instantly enveloped them. It seemed as if time had slowed down here, and the air was filled with a quiet atmosphere.

There are six monsters living in Muxian Temple: Shibagong, whose humble name is Jinjie, is called Shibagong by people. His real appearance is a pine tree; Guzhigong, whose real appearance is a cypress tree; Lingkongzi, whose real appearance is a cypress tree; Fuyunsou, whose real appearance is a bamboo; Naked Ghost, whose real appearance is a maple tree; and Xingxian, whose real appearance is an apricot tree. These six monsters are indeed the most elegant in the entire Journey to the West. They are not those evil monsters that harm the world. They all have admiration for Xuanzang, especially Xingxian, who is full of admiration for Xuanzang. Xingxian, whose real appearance is an apricot tree, has the skills of bewitching and poetry. However, in the original work, she was finally beaten to death by Zhu Bajie with a nail rake, which is a pity.

In the original novel, Tang Sanzang and his entourage left the Kingdom of Jisai and came to the Thorn Ridge. Unexpectedly, they were kidnapped by a group of tree monsters, four of whom were called Guzhigong, Lingkongzi, Fuyunsou, and Jingjieshibagong, and there was also a person called Xingxian, who admired Tang Sanzang with the sentiment of "everyone admires him, how can a saintly monk not be condescending to him?", singing and dancing with him, which was very elegant. Later, Tang Sanzang's apprentice came to find them, and the monsters dispersed together.

These monsters are quite literate, and there are also many monsters in Roth's army of gods and demons. Although under strict military law, these monsters dare not act, but once there is a suitable opportunity, no one knows what will happen. If they are accepted into the army of gods and demons, and let them instill culture and ideas into those uneducated monsters and humans, there may be unexpected results.

Roth's mind moved, and he began to seriously consider the feasibility of this idea. He knew that a strong army not only needed strong military force, but also needed a certain cultural literacy and ideological cohesion. Although these monsters in Muxian Temple were monsters, they had unique elegance and cultural heritage, and perhaps they could really bring new atmosphere to the God and Demon Army.

So, Lot flew from the Kingdom of Jisai to the Muxian Temple of Thorn Ridge. When he arrived, Xuanzang was kidnapped by several tree demons. Seeing this, Sun Wukong immediately called the local land to inquire about the situation. Under the command of Sun Wukong's powerful magic, an old man suddenly appeared. He was seen wearing a turban, plain clothes, holding a cane, and wearing straw sandals. He was followed by a green-faced, fanged, red-bearded, naked ghost messenger.

"Great Sage, I am the land god of Thorn Ridge. I didn't know you were coming, and I'm sorry for not coming to greet you." The land god hurriedly bowed and replied, his face full of awe.

Sun Wukong's eyes widened with anger, and he shouted, "Since you knew I was here, why didn't you come and inform me earlier? My master was kidnapped by those tree monsters. Do you know where they took my master?"

The land god quickly bowed again and nervously replied, "Great Sage, calm down. I just learned about this as well. Those tree demons kidnapped the holy monk and took him to Muxian Temple. They seemed to want to have a long conversation with him."

"Do you know the origins of those monsters?" Sun Wukong asked.

"Replying to the Great Sage, this place is called Thorn Ridge. It is sparsely visited and overgrown with thorns, hence the name. In Thorn Ridge there is a place called Muxian Temple, where there are six monsters. They are Shibagong, whose true form is a pine tree, and whose nickname is Jingjie; Guzhigong, whose true form is a cypress tree; Lingkongzi, whose true form is a cypress tree; Fuyunsou, whose true form is a bamboo; Naked Ghost, whose true form is a maple tree; and the Apricot Fairy, whose true form is an apricot tree. These monsters usually do not do evil, but they are elegant by nature, and like to recite poems and talk. This time they kidnapped the holy monk, probably because they heard of his name and wanted to communicate with him." The land god answered in detail.

Sun Wukong frowned and said, "Hmph, no matter what their purpose is, they cannot kidnap my master. I will go to the Muxian Temple right now and rescue my master." After saying that, he was about to take off into the air.

At this time, Roth stepped forward, stopped Sun Wukong, and said, "Master, wait a minute. Since these monsters have no ill intentions, we might as well negotiate with them first, and perhaps we can resolve this matter peacefully. Moreover, if we can recruit them into the God and Demon Army and let them teach cultural knowledge to our soldiers, wouldn't that be killing two birds with one stone?"

Sun Wukong thought it made sense and stopped. Luo Te turned to the land god and said, "God of Land, please lead the way. Let's go to Muxian Temple together."

The land god quickly responded: "Yes, I will lead the way right away."

Under the guidance of the land god, Luo Te and Sun Wukong soon arrived at the Muxian Temple. The temple was quiet and peaceful, with towering ancient trees. The tall trees seemed to be guardians, exuding a peaceful atmosphere. Shiba Gong and several other monsters were sitting together with Xuanzang, discussing scriptures and doctrines. They looked focused, as if immersed in a profound world of knowledge.

Sun Wukong shouted, "How dare you, monsters, kidnap my master? Let him go!"

Shibagong and the others were startled by the sudden roar and stood up. Shibagong looked at Sun Wukong and Luo Te and said, "Great Sage, please don't be angry. We have no ill intentions. We just heard of the great monk's name for a long time and want to communicate with him."

Luo Te smiled and said, "Everyone, I am Luo Te, the imperial master of the Tang Dynasty. I have also heard about what happened today. Since you have no ill intentions, why don't you release the holy monk and sit down and have a good talk."

Gu Zhigong said, "What do you want to discuss, General? We are discussing the Dao with the holy monk, what does it have to do with you?"

Roth said: "You are all elegant people. If you can join our Great Tang God and Demon Army and teach the soldiers cultural knowledge, it will definitely make the God and Demon Army stronger. At the same time, you can also have a stable place to live. What do you think?"

Ling Kongzi frowned and said, "We are used to being free and do not want to join any army."

Fuyunsou also echoed, "That's right, we don't want to be bound by that."

The naked ghost said, "If you want to force us, we will not surrender."

Roth was not discouraged and continued, "You all don't know that the world is in chaos and demons are rampant. Only by uniting can we protect ourselves and this land. Joining the Gods and Demons Army will not only provide protection for everyone, but also allow your talents to be better utilized. Moreover, I can assure you that as long as you join the Gods and Demons Army, I will give you full freedom and respect. Don't you want to show off your knowledge? Joining my Gods and Demons Army is the best opportunity."

After some persuasion, Shiba Gong and others began to waver. They looked at each other and then discussed in a low voice. After a while, Shiba Gong said: "What the Imperial Master said makes sense. But we need time to think about it."

Rote nodded and said, "Okay, I'll give you some time to think about it. I hope you can make a wise choice."
