Xuanzang of the Tang Dynasty went to India to learn Buddhist scriptures. This is a historical fact. But it was not an easy feat at the time. In ancient times, the road conditions were dangerous and the means of transportation were limited, so people had to carry horses on their shoulders. Traveling to India is a long journey, with wolves, jackals, tigers and leopards roaming around, and robbers and robbers lurking around. If we don't kill animals on the way, learning from the experience is just empty talk. Even if he could reach India, he would not be able to bring the scriptures back alive. If killing was contrary to the tenets of Buddhism, Xuanzang would not accept it! How could a few bodyguards clear the way to the west and escort Xuanzang back safely from Buddhist scriptures? First, Tang Xuanzang had to accept several bodyguards as apprentices. Secondly, the wolves, tigers, leopards, robbers and robbers must be transformed into monsters. Only in this way can killing be legalized, and Xuanzang could reluctantly agree. In fact, all they encountered on the road were wild beasts or robbers. How could there be any monsters? After Xuanzang of the Tang Dynasty returned from studying Buddhist scriptures, these stories spread among the people, becoming more and more mysterious as they spread. When it was passed to the Ming Dynasty, it became even more magical. Wu Chengen collected these stories and compiled them into a volume called "Journey to the West". This is why there are always logical contradictions in "Journey to the West"! "Journey to the West" has a total of twenty chapters. It follows the order of Tang Xuanzang's westward journey and strives to reveal the true face of India's journey to the West.
