The search for Buddhist scriptures in the West is actually a thousand-year expansion plan planned by Buddhism, aiming to expand its power to the east. Tang Monk was originally a golden cicada under the Tathagata's throne. In his tenth life, he was paved the way to become a hidden disciple of Buddhism. He borrowed sutras to complete his penetration into the Eastern Land. Sun Wukong became a thug of Buddhism. Buddhism quickly swept through the Tang Dynasty in China with the help of scriptures. Buddhism replaced Taoism as the mainstream belief. The friction between Buddhism and Taoism escalated, triggering a "mountain and sea tribulation" war between Buddhism and Taoism. After defeating the Buddha Sun Wukong in a battle, he joined the battle under the coercion of Buddhist words. Taoism was defeated miserably due to the imbalance of fighting power.
Patriarch Bodhi had long foreseen Buddhism's expansion ambitions and made a secret plan in advance, the core of which was the Taoist treasure "Sun and Moon Lamp".
