Journey to the West: Thousands of demons follow the master, and the right result is uncertain
Five hundred years ago, the locked-heart monkey in Wuxing Mountain was unruly and untamed; the imperial monk of Chang'an Road traveled westward, his tin staff trembling.
The Tathagata said, "There are only four places for attaining true enlightenment. You can only choose merit and Buddha's heart." Avalokitesvara's hidden game of Buddhism and Taoism actually turned a great cause of learning scriptures to save all sentient beings into an overt and covert struggle between the forces of the three realms.
Tang Monk has a compassionate heart and collects all the evil spirits in the world; Sun Wukong carries the golden cudgel with power, and the guardian also peeks into the chess game; Bajie is greedy for power, Sha Monk is silent, and the white dragon horse rides on the waves to accompany him. The fate of the core group of masters and apprentices has long been intertwined with the obsession of ten thousand demons.
The black bear in Black Wind Mountain protects the path by refining elixirs, the yellow wind monster in Huangfengling rides the wind to send warnings, the red boy's sacred fire burns evil in Huoyun Cave, and the golden-winged roc eagle in Shituoling Ridge flutters its wings to protect the scriptures... The return of every monster apprentice hides the desire to survive and the coveting of the right fruit; every time the master and disciple turn against each other and are in the same sect, it is all because of the four quotas that can subvert the identity of the fairy monster.
The hidden thread behind the immortal Buddha is quietly surging. The Taishang Laojun's mount and the boy under the Tathagata's seat have all turned into spies, laying out layers of murderous plots on the way to obtain the scriptures.
When the forces of Buddhism and Taoism tear apart, when the monster disciples and the core masters and disciples stand side by side, when the shackles of "the difference between immortals and monsters" are broken, who will be the winner in the end?
This is not a simple pilgrimage to the West, but a tragic and heroic song about the human heart, obsession, friendship and the great road——
Masters and disciples can overcome all difficulties if they are of the same mind; demons and Buddhas can realize the Buddha's mind if they share the same path;
Perfection is not determined by heaven, merit is in the world.
