丘处机

丘处机 appears in 43.西游记：咄！你是什么妖精！ as an older attribution candidate for [[JourneyToTheWest|《西游记》]]. The episode says this claim drew force from his own “westward journey,” related writing by his circle, and the novel’s visible Daoist and Quanzhen material.

The hosts do not present the 丘处机 attribution as settled. Instead, they use it to show how Accretive Text Formation complicates a classic: a novel can contain religious vocabulary, institutional echoes, and source traditions that make readers imagine different authorial centers. It also becomes a case for Interpretation And Overinterpretation, because institutional or religious traces do not automatically prove authorship.
