The Tang priest in the novel, played by Xu, was originally reincarnated as the second disciple of the Buddha, Jin. He is a posthumous child. Because of his parents' tragic and bizarre experiences, he grew up in a temple after becoming a monk, became a monk in Huasheng Temple, and finally moved to a famous temple in Beijing to practice. Tang Priest is studious and highly savvy, and stands out among the monks in the temple. Finally, he was selected by the emperor of the Tang Dynasty and went to the Western Heaven to learn from the scriptures.

Dongsheng Shenzhou Oleguo Huaguo Mountain Lingshi was born, and Ling Ming boulder was made by laughing monkey king and seeing the wind. In Huaguoshan, a group of monkeys pointed to the waterfall in Huaguoshan and said, Who dares to go in and find a place for us to settle down? If it doesn't harm our health, I will worship it as king. When the stone monkey discovered water curtain cave, he took this opportunity to hide the word "stone" and was called "Monkey King". After eight or nine years, I learned seventy-two changes by learning from Xu Bodhi in Fangcun Mountain, Niulingtai. The weapon was the "Dinghai Shenzhen" snatched from the Dragon King of the East China Sea, and it was named Golden Hoop. Since then, the Monkey King, who claimed to be the Great Sage of Monkey, made a scene in the Heavenly Palace and was suppressed by the Tathagata under the Five Elements Mountain (Wuzhishan), unable to move. Five hundred years later, the Tang Priest went to the Western Heaven to learn Buddhist scriptures, passed by Wuxing Mountain, and broke the spell before he saved the Monkey King. The Monkey King was so grateful that, at the instigation of Guanyin Bodhisattva, he worshipped the Tang Priest as a teacher and went to the Western Heaven to learn Buddhist scriptures. On the way to learn from the scriptures, the Monkey King exorcised demons and made many remarkable achievements. However, he was twice misunderstood and expelled by Tang Priest and his disciples. Finally, the four of them arrived at the Buddhist Leiyin Temple and got the true scriptures. The Monkey King's cultivation was successful, and the seal fight defeated the Buddha. The Monkey King is smart and lively, brave and loyal, hates evil, dares to resist, loves freedom, eliminates all evils and is full of fighting spirit, which has become the embodiment of wit and courage in China culture. Therefore, the Monkey King could easily become the idol worshipped by little boys in China, and become a rebel and traitor in feudal society. He is active, naughty, skilled in martial arts, intelligent and brave, and fierce.

I saw Guanyin Bodhisattva holding a clean bottle in her left hand and Yang Liuzhi in her right hand, slightly dipped in nectar, bringing the ginseng fruit tree back to life. On the way to learn from the Tang Priest, he helped the Monkey King subdue Hong Haier, Marshal Tian Peng and the Three Princes of the West Sea Dragon King, and let the Tang Priest and his disciples learn from the Buddhist scriptures in the West, which was the savior for all people in the world to get love, peace and happiness.
