Based on the longstanding “gambling game” trend, Journey to the West is good at describing various competitive games such as pre-guessing bet, fighting by force and mental fighting into the “gambling game” proposition. In these “gambling game” narratives, Monkey King and all kinds of immortals and demons do not fight for money, but for “gambling win” and “decisive win”. The novel not only enhances the suspense of the novel text by the “gambling match” narration of the prediction result, but also satisfies the readers'aesthetic psychology of seeking thrill and stimulation by the “gambling match” narration of the martial arts competition. All kinds of “gambling game” narratives also contain the competitive “mind devil”, which not only brings secularity to the God and devil novel, but also effectively serves the creative theme of “secret essence in the game”. From the perspective of the narrative dimension of “gambling match”, Journey to the West is a novel of “game”, which contains multiple aesthetic interests such as suspense, thrill,solemnity and humor.
