The Taoist Told Me to Find a Fairy

Back then, Buddha Tathagata ordered Bodhisattva Guanyin to find a leader for the pilgrimage to the Western Heaven. Guanyin found Tang Xuanzang and gathered his disciples, Wukong, Bajie, and Sha Wujing. To test the master and his disciples, Tathagata set up eighty-one tribulations, then went around recruiting ingenious monsters to make them happen, promising them generous rewards once the job was done. When Tang Xuanzang and his disciples returned from their pilgrimage, Tathagata was about to reward the eighty-one monsters at his sanctuary when, suddenly, a mighty god flew in from beyond the heavens, cast a net over the sanctuary on Mount Ling, and forcibly carried off forty-nine of the monsters.

Tathagata was stunned, utterly at a loss and choking on his frustration.

At last, one day, he decided to search for his missing monster friends.

He asked Bodhisattva Guanyin to choose a suitable candidate for the journey.

Guanyin devised a test for the mortal Hu Dangdang, involving a Taoist and his fairy wife. Hu Dangdang endured humiliation without fear and never wavered in his resolve, ultimately earning his place.

And so, carrying out Tathagata’s wishes, Hu Dangdang set off alone with his fairy wife to search the stars beyond the heavens for the missing demons and monsters. After enduring countless hardships, he finally received help from a mighty god beyond the heavens and obtained an unexpected treasure, which helped him achieve his goal...
