The meritorious deeds of studying scriptures in the Western Heaven were complete, and Tang Monk and his disciples were consecrated as saints. They should have returned to the Tang Dynasty with auspicious clouds.
Unexpectedly, only three hundred miles away from Lingshan, the first volume of the Scripture spontaneously ignited without fire, leaving eight words in the ashes:
"If you don't cross the fateful person, you won't cross the world without intention."
From then on, the scriptures began to lose pages wherever they went. Along the way, people borrowed money from Buddhas, temples extorted food and lives in the name of good deeds, monsters put on cassocks and ate people, but the gods and Buddhas stood idly by because of the laws of heaven. What's even more frightening is that the nine lost pages of scripture seem to be involved in an old disaster that was buried by Buddhism and heaven.
Tang Monk had to make a choice between "protecting the sutras" and "saving people"; after becoming a Buddha, Sun Wukong was restrained by Buddhist rules; Zhu Bajie wanted to return to Gao Laozhuang, but found that he had been worshiped as a god of wealth; Sha Monk and White Dragon Horse also encountered their unwilling predecessors on their way back.
What you travel to the west to seek is the Dharma, and what you return east to examine is the human heart.
This time, what they have to fight may no longer be demons, but scriptures, rules and gods that are regarded as absolutely correct.
