How many times was it in Journey to the West when Guanyin Bodhisattva and the others turned into a big family to test the determination of the four disciples of Tang Sanzang?

"Journey to the West" was an ancient Chinese novel that described the story of Tang Sanzang and his four disciples who went to the Western Paradise to seek the scriptures. Although Tang Sanzang and the others were Buddhists, they encountered many Taoist Bodhisattvas and Jade Emperor on their way to the scriptures. This is because Buddhism and Taoism in ancient Chinese culture influenced each other. Many Buddhist characters were also introduced into Taoist stories. For example, in Journey to the West, Sun Wukong, as the main character, was an immortal. His power also came from Taoist immortals. On the way to the scriptures, Sun Wukong met many Taoist Bodhisattvas and Jade Emperor, such as Guanyin Bodhisattva, Jade Emperor, Taishang Laojun, etc. These Taoist characters added some mystery to the story and made it more interesting. In addition, although Buddhism and Taoism had different beliefs, their ideas and thoughts were similar, so sometimes they would borrow and quote from each other in the story. This was also one of the reasons why there were Taoist characters in Journey to the West.

In the Journey to the West, the journey of the four monks was very long. They experienced many dangers and difficulties. Tang Sanzang and his disciples encountered the following demons and ghosts: 1. Sun Wukong: I met the Bull Demon King and Princess Iron Fan in Chang 'an City. They tried to stop Tang Sanzang and his disciples from learning the scriptures. 2. Zhu Bajie: I met Fire God and Fire Sea Devil Lord at Flaming Mountain. They tried to stop Tang Sanzang and his disciples from learning the scriptures. 3. Sha Wujing: In Jinsha Village, he met the monster Zhu Bajie's senior brother, Sha Wujing, and they tried to stop Tang Sanzang and his disciples from obtaining the scriptures. 4. Bai Jingjing: I met Bai Jingjing in the Coiled Silk Cave. She tried to stop Tang Sanzang and his disciples from learning the scriptures. In addition, Tang Sanzang and his disciples also encountered many other demons and ghosts, such as White Bone Demon, Red Boy, and the fire monster of Flaming Mountain.

In Journey to the West, the three plots of Tang Sanzang were as follows: 1. Retrieving the Sutra Tang Sanzang led Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, and Monk Sand to India to retrieve the scriptures. In the process, they encountered many monsters and demons, but Tang Sanzang always maintained his compassion and wisdom and finally successfully led them to the Western Heaven. Saving Sun Wukong On the way to India to learn the scriptures, Sun Wukong was sealed at the foot of the Five Elements Mountain by Tang Sanzang because he was mischievous. Later, Tang Sanzang was saved by Red Boy and accepted as his disciple. Red Boy brought Tang Sanzang to the East Ocean Dragon Palace to rescue Sun Wukong, who was sealed in the dragon palace. 3 Experiencing Danger On their way to India, they encountered many dangers. Once, they arrived at the Flaming Mountain. The flames were as big as a sea of fire, and it was difficult to advance. Tang Sanzang and his disciples decided to use the banana fan to destroy the flaming mountain, but the banana fan was only in the hands of the Bull Demon King and the Iron Fan Princess. In the end, Tang Sanzang used his wisdom to persuade Princess Iron Fan to lend them the banana fan. Only then did they successfully cross the Fiery Mountain.
