Obtaining the scripture is not the end, but the beginning of another tribulation! When the four masters and disciples returned to Dongtu, the Buddha said that "the murderous intent of the weapons has not disappeared" and actually confiscated all the golden hoops, nine-tooth rake and other artifacts.
The Buddhist scripture-seeking group returned empty-handed and fell into unprecedented difficulties:
• Although Sun Wukong has seventy-two transformations, it is difficult to defeat the demon's wheel tactics.
• Zhu Bajie's greedy and lazy nature reappears, and he is repeatedly trapped in illusions and puzzles
• Sha Wujing walked forward carrying a heavy load to protect his teacher from disaster, and gradually realized that "without a staff, it is also Zen"
• Tang Sanzang carried the scriptures but became the focus of the three worlds, and the undercurrent was surging
This journey back was actually ten times more dangerous than the journey westward! The demon kings who were defeated in the past worked together to avenge themselves, the old grudges in the heavens secretly hatched murderous plans, and even the words in the scriptures turned into physical inner demons...
Watch how the Great Sage defeated the "Array of Hundred Demons" without using an iron rod, and watch how Bajie rake without nails realized that "the precepts are armor". When the golden hoop no longer binds the soul, when the treasure staff turns into a mirror in the heart - in these last eighty-one difficulties, what we practice is actually the word "let go".

There is actually a follow-up version of Journey to the West, which is really fun to watch.
The follow-up version of Journey to the West is surprising, so beautiful
