We all know that books nowadays are divided into genuine and pirated books. Journey to the West has been circulating for hundreds of years, and many versions have appeared in them, especially a large number of manuscripts. Which versions are true and which versions are fake. To be honest, it is difficult to distinguish now.

Even the earliest printed version of Shidetang, "Journey to the West", may be a pirated or reprinted version of a certain version. Due to the technical limitations of the times, this situation is normal. After all, most of them are hand-written, and hand-written errors are inevitable. Even if it is printed using printing, it cannot be guaranteed to be absolutely correct. It is normal to leave or make a few words wrong.

And this version was lost in the country for various reasons.

In 1931, someone found different versions of "Journey to the West" in a Japanese bookstore. Later, Lu Xun and others learned through various methods that there were indeed various versions of "Journey to the West" in Japan.

Two years later, in 1933, the Peking Library went to Japan to buy two different versions of "Journey to the West" and "The Legend of the West" of the Shidetang version, "Journey to the West" and "The Legend of the West of the Tang Sanzang's Journey to the West".

The "Journey to the West" we buy on the market today is actually reorganized based on the Shidetang version of "Journey to the West", and it was in 1980.

In fact, since the book "Journey to the West", countless literati have deleted, added, revised and commented on "Journey to the West", especially during the Qing Dynasty, this situation is the most serious.

The reason why "Journey to the West" now has more than 200,000 words more than Shidetang's "Journey to the West" is that modern people use the contents of other versions of "Journey to the West".

Simply put, modern people use the pirated Shidetang version as the basic version, plus the pirated pirated six printed versions of the Qing Dynasty and the Li Ping version, and finally combine it into a "Journey to the West".

Based on our understanding today, we modern people used more than a dozen pirated versions of "Journey to the West" to form what we think is reasonable and genuine, that is, the one that Yun Gu held.

Therefore, the problem of such a large difference in word counts has arisen. These are not the main ones, the main ones are the specific plots.

The difference is more than 200,000 words. Perhaps for readers, this can make the story more exciting, but what Chen Kan cares about is not the excitement. The difference that Chen Kan cares about is a little bit different, and then the situation is completely different.

You should know that no matter what version it is, it is called "Journey to the West". If a cruise ship selects one or two books from it, the difference may be huge.

As for the martial arts works of Mr. Jin, who are familiar to everyone, Mr. Jin has a habit of modifying his works from time to time after closing the writing, which has caused some huge changes in details.

For example, the "Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms", as we all know, this is the unique skill of the Beggars' Sect, and Qiao Feng became famous for it. However, it was later changed to the Twenty-Eight Dragon Subduing Palms in "The Legend of the Dragons". Qiao Feng felt that the tricks were too complicated, so he deleted and modified them with Xu Zhu, and finally the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms were found.

For example, Ren Woxing's "The Great Art of Star-Absorbing" was explained at the beginning that this martial art was created by Ren Woxing based on the subdivision of "The Great Art of Transformation" by Ding Chunqiu, the old monster star constellation, and later became even more unique in the subdivision of "The Great Art of Beiming".

Although it only changed four words, the impact on the plot is undoubtedly huge, and it has a great impact on Chen Kan's layout. If it is the remnant of "Bei Ming Divine Art", does that mean that in the Xiaoyao Sect there were also remaining copies in addition to the one that Duan Yu broke in the Xiaoyao Sect, or did Duan Yu record "Bei Ming Divine Art"?

If it is based on the sub-part of "The Great Method of Cultivation and Killing", then the origin and purpose of this martial art created by Ding Chunqiu still need to be re-examined.

For example, the original description of the Sword of the Heavenly Sword and the Dragon Slaying Sword is hidden in the sword. As long as you find a way to split the sword, you can get the secret. Later, it will be changed to a two-point map. You have to follow the map to find the secret.

This seems to be a little different from readers and there is nothing wrong with it, but in actual situations, there may be a lot of variables.

Mr. Jin is just a minor revision of his work, but the gap between different versions of Journey to the West is not small at all. If it is small, where does so many words come from?

"It's not as exaggerated as you said." Yun Gu said in disbelief. She felt that Chen Kan's words were too mysterious.

"It doesn't sound that exaggerated, but in fact the gap is still big." Chen Kan sighed with emotion on the back of his head.

Just talking about the Fengyun Plane, if Chen Kan hadn't confirmed that the Fengyun Plane he was in was even more amazing, Chen Kan might have had a different style of acting in the Fengyun Plane.

Because there is Indra.

If it is Indra in the TV series, it is an old monster who makes trouble if he is fine and directly participates in the struggles in the martial arts world. However, in the comics, Indra never took action himself before slaying the dragon. He is an extremely arrogant and arrogant existence and disdainful of the struggles in the martial arts world.

It was because Chen Kan was sure that the prototype of the Fengyun plane he was in was a comic that he dared to act so boldly.

"Then you have to be careful."

"Don't worry, isn't this just a guess? Don't worry, there may not be a plane of Journey to the West."

"Do you think your current strength can beat Sun Wukong?" Yun Gu asked at Chen Kan.

"How could I know? If the cruise ship is willing, it would be impossible for me to beat ordinary people." Chen Kan said with a smile.

"This is impossible. If you were asked to go to Water Margin, you would be able to get promotion."

"If the people in Water Margin have improved their strength, don't forget that they rely on fist and foot skills in the Kung Fu King plane. Can't they do this in other planes?" Chen Kan asked.

Chen Kan is indeed right. Even in the most ordinary plane, if the cruise ship enhances his personal strength infinitely, ordinary people can open up mountains and crack the earth. Then a slightly more powerful warrior may be comparable to Chen Kan. At worst, everyone can be turned into a superman physique!

"this……"

"So, don't worry about this. Then, just fight it out." Chen Kan said: "Anyway, I'm considered an old man. In fact, if it's really Journey to the West, to be honest, there are really not many things that can intervene. I can't follow their master and disciple to get the scriptures."

"Yes, then I wish you good luck." Yun Gu said, putting the "Journey to the West" in her hand back on the bedside table.
