[Tang Sanzang Goes His Own Way]+ [Protective of His Own]+ [Defying the Buddhist Order]+ [Teacher and Disciples United]+ [Stopping the New Journey to the West]
After transmigrating into the world of Journey to the West, he becomes Tang Sanzang, the monk tasked with fetching the scriptures.
He thought they would eventually reach the Great Thunderclap Temple on Spirit Mountain in the Western Heaven, but instead they ended up at the Little Thunderclap Temple in the Western Ox Continent!
Worse still, the scriptures the Tathagata gave them were blank!
All right, all right! So that's how you're playing it?
From now on, I, Tang Sanzang, will go my own way!
You, Tathagata, want to restart the Journey to the West?
Sun Wukong moves Flower-Fruit Mountain straight to the Two Boundary Mountains!
Zhu Bajie recruits troops and gathers horses at Gao Village!
The Little White Dragon takes over Eagle Sorrow Ravine!
Sha Wujing returns to the Flowing Sand River!
And that's not all. Nearly everyone they meet along the way is on close terms with Tang Sanzang and his disciples!
Bull Demon King: Want to cross the Flaming Mountains? That depends on whether my sworn brother agrees!
Queen of the Kingdom of Women: Want a travel permit? My husband, Chen Xuanzang, has to approve!
Zhenyuanzi: Want to eat ginseng fruit? Sorry, the tree isn't flowering this year!
Azure Bull: Want to bring your weapons through Golden-Rimmed Mountain? Hand them over!
To assemble a new scripture-fetching party, Tathagata even recruits Jinchi as the new scripture-fetcher, the Six-Eared Macaque as his first disciple, Nezha as his second disciple, and Ao Bing, the Third Prince of the Eastern Sea, as his third disciple.
If you're wondering why there isn't a fourth disciple, it's because they don't have a horse!
After the new scripture-fetching party finally makes it through all eighty-one trials, the party still hasn't appeared at the Great Thunderclap Temple on Spirit Mountain in the Western Heaven.
Tathagata: Jinchi, why haven't you reached Spirit Mountain yet?
Jinchi: I have!
Tathagata: Then why can't I see you?
Jinchi: Oh, sorry. I arrived at the Great Tang Spirit Mountain of Buddha Chen Xuanzang!
Nice!!!
