After Tang Monk obtained the scriptures, Tathagata Buddha conferred Tang Monk as Sandalwood Merit Buddha, Sun Wukong was conferred as Fighting Victory Buddha, Zhu Bajie was conferred as Purifying Altar Envoy, Monk Sha was conferred as Golden Arhat, and White Dragon Horse conferred the title of Eight Heavenly Dragons Guangli Bodhisattva. Everything was completed.
The four of them flew against the clouds and arrived in the Tang Dynasty in advance, but when they flew to the foot of Lingshan Mountain, the four of them and the white dragon horse fell directly. Fortunately, Wukong reacted quickly and took over the master. Bajie, Sha Monk and the white dragon horse carrying the scriptures also landed safely at the foot of the mountain. Just as the four masters and disciples looked confused. At that time, the voice of Tathagata Buddha came from the Great Leiyin Temple: "Hahaha, although you have obtained the true scriptures, escorting the scriptures back to the East is also part of your mission. Remember to be down-to-earth and one step at a time, so that the scriptures obtained will be authentic. Go!"
When Sun Wukong heard this, he wielded the golden cudgel and was about to make a fuss in Lingshan. "Tathagata, you lied to me again!" Tang Monk stopped his eldest disciple and said, "Wukong, don't be rude." Then he knelt down and said "Disciple accepts the order" in the direction from which the voice came. Just like that, the new mission of protecting the sutras began again.
