Summary:

“New Journey to the West” tells the story of Tang Monk on his way to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures. One day, they were trapped in the desert, and a beam of light led them to the ninth heaven. Tathagata Buddha gave Tang Monk a password box containing priceless treasures and a pair of iron shoes. And warned: You must break through iron shoes to open the password box. Tang Monk and his disciples bid farewell to Tathagata Buddha. When they took the “sightseeing elevator” to enter the human world, the restless Sun Wukong fiddled with the elevator switch, causing the elevator to lose control. The four masters and disciples of Tang Seng fell in the desert, and it was already more than 1,500 years later in modern society. A female reporter who went on a solo expedition unexpectedly discovered their whereabouts and immediately followed up and reported on the journey of the four masters and disciples of Tang Monk and his disciples in modern society. Modern humans are full of curiosity about them, and Tang Seng’s password box has also aroused the covetousness of all kinds of modern ghosts, thus unfolding a series of exciting, twists and turns and interesting stories.
