In 2008, the "King of Kung Fu" was born, which is a symbol: Kung Fu is not dead, and Journey to the West is no longer.
After this movie, Jackie Chan and Jet Li's wishes were fulfilled, and the dream of the double-J sparring that millions of fans had been waiting for came true. It also heralded the end of the Kung Fu movie that has occupied the Chinese language for more than half a century. Maybe Jackie Chan and Jet Li are still on the screen. There are more new people and old dreams fluttering and dancing in this cool and thin river and lake, but the dust settles, and we are only left with loneliness from now on.
There is not a single word "dream" in the countless images.
Even ten years.



primer.

Journey to the West is just a legend that exists in your dreams and mine. That stick that is invincible in the Three Realms is not only held in the hands of the Great Sage, but also in your heart and mine. Five hundred years, what is five hundred years? The vicissitudes of life, the loneliness in the stone. Five hundred years, the loud noise is brewing even more tremors, as long as the hands touch the golden hoop, the dream of a hundred years will finally wake up.



story.

Whether it is thousands of years or five hundred years, the mission is always calling. As a result, the prophecy came true, and ancient and modern characters appeared. The American boy Jason found the golden hoop, and the golden hoop took him back to thousands of years ago, which is five hundred years after that era. The god of war in the Jade Border is smashing the charcoal creatures, the world is full of fire and water, who will stop this slaughter that has lasted for five hundred years?
Sun Wukong.
This name appears only in legends and dreams.
The monk silent monk spent his whole life searching for the golden hoop rod that was lost in the world. Until he met Jason who traveled through the ancient times. The silent monk won the stick, and Lu Yan, ignorant of the details of the silent monk, shot.
The monks counterattack.
The masters confronted each other and could not fight each other. One was soft and firm, and the other was extremely fast.
We got to know each other, and it turned out that there was a reason.
In order to complete their respective missions, they awakened the Great Sage Equaling Heaven who was imprisoned in the Jade Border Temple as a stone statue.
Momon, Lu Yan, Jin Yanzi, and Jason finally formed a group and set out for Yujiang with their sticks.

The strong enemy is in power, and the shot is blocked, the murderousness is overflowing, and the crisis is full.
It was the white-haired witch.
Does every white-haired devil head have a heart-wrenching love?
If it wasn't for the harm of a heartless man, how could a stunning person be transformed into a demon?
The elixir of immortality, even if it can make a beautiful face last forever, can your heart still have the slightest tenderness?
kill.

After many obstacles, they finally arrived at Yujiang.
In the temple, at the time of the decisive battle.
You have thousands of mana, and I have the righteousness in the world.
During the melee, everyone fought desperately to wake up the Monkey King.
What a great sage Equalling the sky, ten thousand golden rays of light, resounding throughout the world.
The five-hundred-year dream has awakened, with the golden hoop in hand, who can match the world?
In an instant, the samurai died, and the temple collapsed in that majesty.
Jin Yanzi was eager for revenge, but was defeated by the Yujiang God of War and died in Jason's arms.
The white-haired witch was also thrown into the bottomless abyss by Lu Yan, and she was beyond redemption.
The immortal body of the Yujiang God of War was broken by Yuyan's darts and fell into the flame molten pool, with no bones left.

Jason completes his mission and returns to the modern age as he wishes.
Was that dream trip, the dart girl who passed away in the dream, just a dream?
Then who is this woman who looks like a golden swallow in front of her?

The end is just another beginning... the



golden hoop.

Monkey King's only weapon.
Legend has it that it can conquer the world.
The warriors of the Jade Border were horrified.

When the Yujiang God of War and the Great Sage duel, they were invincible, and they tricked the Great Sage into giving up his stick and punching him.
The great sage is innocent, the god of war in Yujiang was unexpected, and suddenly cast spells, the great sage turned into a stone man.
Just before the last knuckle stiffened, the great sage threw the golden hoop into the world.
At that moment, he smiled.



monk.

With a mission and loyalty.
Who can be persistent, never betray, never give up?
There is only oneself, and that which is one with oneself.
silent monk.

The moment the Monkey King woke up, the
silent monk was wounded and bleeding in front of him. The moment their eyes met, they
both nodded, looked at each other, and smiled.
Blood flowed, and the silent monk fell down.
A gust of wind blew, slowly,
a strand of hair drifted by, very light.

It turned out that the silent monk was just the hair of the great sage who was slipped and broken by the Jade Border God of War during the battle.
Falling into the world, searching hard.
Five hundred years.
