He showed his magical powers in order to help Master Tripitaka. The plot of the work is relatively simple. There is no image of Zhu Bajie, but there is a description of subduing the Shensha God, and the Shensha God may be the prototype of Sha Monk. Therefore, some people say that this book has the prototype of "Journey to the West". "The Tripitaka of the Tang Dynasty" was a famous legendary drama at that time. The final development result was the classic "Journey to the West", which is of far-reaching significance. This book can be considered an indispensable milestone in the writing process of "Journey to the West". This book, as the framework of the mythical story, has basically taken shape.
