The protagonist is Tang Sanzang's father. According to Journey to the West, Tang Sanzang's father, Chen Guangrui, was killed by bandits on a ship after getting married, and they seized his wife, impersonating her to take up his post. His wife gave birth to Tang Sanzang and drifted away, becoming known as Jiang Liuer.
The simplest way to break the deadlock is to go into seclusion, run away, or publicly denounce Buddhism, or try to persuade Li Shimin to suppress Buddhism. The simplest way is to just cut it off for permanent rule. Damn it, do you think time travelers can be played by these NPCs?

1. The supporting characters are too stereotypical, the kind who go to great lengths to flatter the powerful and belittle the weak, and they panic immediately when accidents happen. Keep in mind, this is an ancient civil service examination; those who can participate are all wealthy and well-versed in the Four Books and Five Classics. Surely not everyone is intelligent?
The Monkey King is already in place, and even the Golden Cicada can be reincarnated. I don't understand, even if you're spouting conspiracy theories about Journey to the West, what good is it, Chen Guangrui? Xuanzang, whose surname was Chen, Li, or Yang, could still go on his pilgrimage.
The main character is deliberately mysterious, and the supporting characters talk a lot of nonsense; this becomes tiresome after a while.
What exactly are you trying to write? The protagonist is normal, but none of the people around him are. The servant is so easily startled and overly opinionated; as a servant, all you need to do is obey, why think so much? The others also have the feel of supporting characters from old-fashioned novels, all looking down on the protagonist, especially that postmaster—is he just waiting to be proven wrong and surprised?

The original Journey to the West had no life-or-death tribulations whatsoever. The Qing dynasty's superfluous additions are actually believed by some. Every chapter in the original is filled with poetry; there's not a single one. Besides, as the Buddha's second disciple, the father of the Buddha of Sandalwood Merit, and the advisor of Sun Wukong, the Victorious Fighting Buddha, are you being…
Why go through all that trouble?
In order to survive, he castrated himself and went straight to the palace to become a eunuch. 😁
It's already at chapter 70. The actual progress is worrying. Mortals are trying to stop the immortals' and Buddhas' schemes, but the Heavenly Court, or perhaps the Daoist side, sees the protagonist as just a pawn; why would they help? It's like the game isn't going anywhere without any development.
