Summary:
This story uses a nonsensical approach and takes the story of Journey to the West as a template to tell the various funny events encountered by Tang Sanzang and his four disciples during their journey to the West. At the beginning, Tang Sanzang successively encountered Sun Wukong who was pressed under the Five Finger Mountain, Zhu Bajie who fell from the sky, Sha Wujing who was fainted by Wukong’s bad breath after not brushing his teeth for 500 years, and the defeated Japanese businessman Kato Yingying, and then tamed him into a white dragon horse and gathered the team to go to the West. Then the five of them set out together. While being chased by the repeatedly defeated leader, Dongfang Bubai, and Saiyans, they also experienced small episodes such as stockholders jumping off buildings and migrant workers collecting debts. Finally, the five of them passed through the Kingdom of Daughters and met the Bull Demon King and his family, but they finally obtained the true scriptures and achieved the right results.
