Features: Be careful with your teeth and jaw when translating this book, as a storm of humor will sweep over these parts. Tang Sanzang was biased and gullible, mistakenly entering the Buddhist path, and by chance embarking on the journey to the West to retrieve scriptures. Sun Wukong, though successful in his career, was framed and, in a fit of rage, caused chaos in the "Heavenly Palace." Zhu Bajie, originally a heavenly general, was betrayed due to his obsession with beauty and transformed into a pig for labor reform. Sha Wujing, born into a wealthy family, was punished for a minor mistake and demoted to the mortal world, where he became a bandit. These four individuals, each with different backgrounds and experiences, united under the banner of the Westward Journey, driven by their own schemes. Along the way, they battled demons and monsters while also indulging in romantic escapades, making their journey complex, emotionally rich, and full of passion. Together, the master and his disciples staged a hilarious and thrilling comedy—The Joyful Journey.
