I am a ghost that has been floating in the world for eight years.
In the ninth year, I met a skinny-headed monk. He said that I was a god in heaven. Because I made some mistakes at work, I was demoted to earth by the Emperor of Heaven. As long as I could complete the task, the gate of heaven would be opened for me, and then I could return to heaven.
I could tell at a glance that this monk was no ordinary person.
He gave me a worn-out notebook with the words "marriage thin" written on it. There were one hundred and twenty pairs of men and women's names in it. My mission was to travel to every inch of China to find these people and facilitate their marriage.
Before leaving, I asked the monk for his Dharma name. The monk said that he had many names, but I can call him Tang San. "We come from the same place. I was distracted at work and just took a nap. Then I stayed in the world for fourteen years, heading west, experiencing countless sufferings, and finally achieved enlightenment."
Seeing that I was confused, he reminded me again: "The journey to the west was ninety-nine and eighty-one difficult? Later, our story was written into a book and became a famous book and was widely circulated?"
In the end, Tang San left in disappointment, muttering to himself, this person is a fool, the Westbound Four are so famous, but he didn't even know.
