About This Novel
The novel is based on "Journey to the West", takes the true history of Tang Xuanzang's journey to the West as a clue, and takes the escort of the scriptures back to the East to the Tang Dynasty as the main line. It vividly describes a series of stories in the process of escorting the scriptures back to the East to the Tang Dynasty. The two venerables Anuo and Kassapa felt that Tang Monk and his disciples did not give any "benefits" and easily took away 5048 volumes of scriptures. They felt aggrieved and went to find the Buddha for comment. The Buddha believed that what Anuo and Kassapa said was reasonable, so he ordered them to go to Chenjiazhuang to recall the Eight Great Vajras and no longer escort Tang Monk and his entourage back to the Tang Dynasty. He also ordered Guanyin to set up eighty-one difficulties again, and secretly protected Tang Monk and his entourage to protect the scriptures and return to the Tang Dynasty. This is where the story of "Journey to the West" begins. The book has twenty-six chapters in total. The author uses exaggeration, metaphor, satire and other creative techniques to indirectly reflect the social reality of the Tang Dynasty through absurd and magical storylines.
