Seven banshees took refuge in Taoist temple. When they saw the Tang Priest and others coming, they secretly sought revenge from Taoist priests. Taoist poisoned Tang Priest, Jie and Friar Sand with poisonous tea. Wukong smashed the cobweb and killed Okumo, the original body of the Seven Banshees. Taoist used his dry eyes to cover Wukong with golden light. Wukong fought against it. According to Shan Li, an old man, he asked Bodhisattva Pilanpo to break the golden light with a golden needle, entered the temple to save three Tang Priests' Daos, and took away the fear of the original centipede shown by the Taoist priest.
The novel of Journey to the West takes the historical event of "Tang Priest's Learning from the Scriptures" as the background, and deeply depicts the social reality at that time through the author's artistic processing. The book mainly describes the story of the Monkey King's encounter with Tang Priest, Pig Bajie, Friar Sand after his birth, and his disturbance to the Heaven Palace. He went west to learn from the scriptures, demonized all the way, and after eighty-one difficulties, he finally arrived in the Western Heaven to meet the Tathagata Buddha, and finally the Five Saints died.
The Journey to the West's content is the most complicated in China's classical novels. It combines the thoughts and contents of Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism, which not only allows the immortals of Buddhism and Taoism to perform at the same time, but also injects the human feelings of the real society into the world of Buddhism and Taoism, and sometimes inserts a few words of Confucian wisdom, which is harmonious and interesting, making the book win the interest of readers at all levels of culture.
Journey to the West presents the dual totalitarianism of secular world and spiritual world-imperial power and theocracy. The subject of existence is firmly bound in material and spiritual life, succumbing to the dual domination of political power and religion, and collectively and unconsciously prostrating himself at the feet of the emperor and Buddha in psychological structure.
Obviously, The Journey to the West's texts exude an innate national servility. Even the "hero" who is a rebel idol finally has to bow to the "demon" who symbolizes the rule of the Buddha.
