Summary:
The difference between “Conquering the Demon Arhat” and “Journey to the West” is that it is not the story of four monks going to the west to learn Buddhist scriptures, but only Tang monk alone. The same thing that while going to fetch scripture is that he also encountered different setbacks and disasters in the process of learning scriptures. When facing difficulties and monsters, Tang Seng turned into a demon-subduing arhat. With boundless magic power, he fought desperately with monsters. After three years and eight months of trekking, the scriptures were finally retrieved.
