In Journey to the West, the four disciples were Buddhists. Why did they always encounter Taoist Bodhisattva Guanyin and Jade Emperor on their way to the scriptures?

The eighth time.😋I have two novels with similar topics that I can recommend to you. They are The Lord of Dao De in Journey to the West and The Strongest Demon King in the History of Journey to the West. They are also based on Journey to the West, but the story is quite innovative and interesting. I hope you like this fairy's recommendation. Muah ~😗

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.

I don't have enough knowledge of web novels to answer this question. In wuxia novels, the image of Buddhist characters could be influenced by the writing team and readers. In some works, Buddhists may play the role of hypocrites, but this does not mean that all Buddhists are hypocrites. In fact, people in Buddhism usually followed the virtues of compassion, wisdom, and selflessness instead of using hypocritical means to achieve their goals as described in some martial arts novels.

After Tang Sanzang and his disciples obtained the scriptures, they received the following titles: 1. Tang Monk: The eminent monk of the Tang Dynasty was respectfully called "Master Xuanzang". After retrieving the true scriptures, he was conferred the title of "Master Sanzang of the Great Mercy Temple". 2. Sun Wukong: Because of Sun Wukong's extraordinary ability, he was known as the "Great Sage Equal to Heaven". After retrieving the true scripture, he was conferred the title of "Fighting Buddha". 3. Zhu Bajie: He was criticized for his gluttony and laziness, but he performed well in the process of retrieving the scriptures and was conferred the title of "Purifying Altar Envoy". 4. Sha Wujing: Sha Wujing was one of the disciples of Tang Sanzang. His loyalty and bravery were also recognized and he was given the title of "Golden Body Arhat".

In Journey to the West, Sun Wukong initially learned Taoist magic but later decided to go and get Buddhist scriptures because Buddhism's influence in the novel was growing while Taoism was gradually declining. Sun Wukong hoped to spread the Buddhist teachings so that more people could understand and accept it, so he decided to go and get the Buddhist scriptures. In addition, Sun Wukong also experienced many setbacks and tribulations in the novel. These experiences made him more determined in his beliefs and made him more aware of the importance of Buddhism. Therefore, obtaining Buddhist scriptures was also an important mission of Sun Wukong in the novel. He hoped that through this mission, more people would understand Buddhism and accept it.

Journey to the West was an ancient Chinese novel that described the story of Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, and Monk Sand who went to the West to obtain scriptures. Although the three of them were heading west, they had experienced many people and things in the eastern region in the novel. In the novel, steamed buns and vegetables were common foods. They appeared in many plots, reflecting the food culture of the society at that time. For example, when Sun Wukong and the others were learning the scriptures, they often needed to survive in the wild, so they needed some food to replenish their strength. Food such as steamed buns and vegetables were relatively cheap and easy to obtain, so they became common ingredients. In addition, steamed buns and vegetables also represented the fate and encounters of the characters in Journey to the West. In the novel, Sun Wukong and the others experienced many difficulties and dangers, but they were still able to maintain their health and spirits by eating food such as steamed buns and vegetables. These foods also symbolized the character's survival ability and willpower in adversity. To sum up, although the protagonist's route in Journey to the West was to go west, the food and food culture in the novel reflected the food culture of the society at that time and the fate and encounters of the characters.

The Jade Emperor in Journey to the West was not a real surname but a title. In the novel, the character of the Jade Emperor was a Taoist immortal named Zhang Fuliu. Through cultivation, he had obtained the ability to control everything in the world. In the novel, the position of the Jade Emperor was decided by the four disciples of Tang Sanzang to show the charm of Buddhism to the world, so Zhang Fuliu took up this position. Although the Jade Emperor's surname was not Zhang, he played a very important role in the novel and was an important character in the novel.

In Journey to the West, the Jade Emperor's surname was not Zhang, but Gao. In the novel, the Jade Emperor was an immortal under the Haotian Pagoda and the supreme god of Taoism. He was called "General Heaven Duke" and was the ruler of Taoism. His duty was to manage all things in the world and maintain the peace and stability of the world. In the novel, the Jade Emperor didn't have a specific surname. He was just called "Jade Emperor" or "General Heaven Duke".

😋I recommend the novel "The Demon Archer of the Other World". It tells the story of a female protagonist who transmigrated and became a long-lived albino elf. In order to protect her long-eared relative, she carried a big bow and traveled all over the world. She was a beautiful woman with a fox's heart. This novel is also a fantasy romance-Western fantasy genre. It might suit your taste. I hope you like this fairy's recommendation. Muah ~😗

The generals retreated, leaving only the demon monkey angry. It raised its staff and charged forward. Halfway through, a huge halberd made of mixed iron suddenly smashed down. Its six arms let go simultaneously, and its three heads wailed. [Hede Divine Power: Three Heads and Six Arms] Xu Sui looked at the faint black prompt that flashed past his eyes and silently picked up the black iron rod that had rolled on the ground, indicating that they could continue chatting. The Blessed One looked at the monkey demon who was rolling on the ground in pain. He smiled kindly at Xu Sui and said," Benefactor, are you willing to join the Buddhist League? I will allow you to sit on the lotus throne." Xu Sui was speechless. 2." I Really Didn't Want to Be the Heavenly Emperor ": Wang Xuanfu was reborn in the Untainted Land and became the Eastern Prince. However, the three lectures in the Zixiao Palace had already ended, which meant that he was not far from death. However, when he walked out of the Purple Mansion, he realized that this Wilderness was a little different. It was filled with a barbaric aura. There was killing and chaos everywhere. There was no aura of advanced civilization at all. Order was useless. After experiencing the prosperity of the later generations, he wanted to do something, but he realized that he really couldn't do it. He was also afraid of death, so he could only do something secretly. Fuxi: " My fellow cultivator, the Witchcraft Tribe has fallen and the great cause has been accomplished. Your Majesty, please enter the Heavenly Court and ascend the throne." "I really didn't want to be the Heavenly Emperor," Dong Hua sighed as he looked at the Heavenly Book Investiture of the Gods in his hand. 3."

My Fellow Daoists Spread All Over the Wilderness ": I, Shi Qing, rely on three things to survive in the Wilderness: First, I have many fellow Daoists, second, I have many fellow Daoists, and third, I have many f * cking fellow Daoists!

You have obtained the Indestructible Demon God Technique.] …… This book is also known as Looking Back at the Wilderness, My Fellow Daoists Are All Over the World. Group ID: 689960254 5." Primal: Burning Lamp, Funeral of the Founder!" The wrong path was to be a traitor and repeatedly jump between the saint's teachings, rising step by step. True Path: When I am Dipamkara, I should play the suona, wave the spiritual banner, and lead the way with the spiritual lamp. I should bury the wilderness in a coffin and bury the sacred glory! "What is it? You said that I'm Jie Yin? Why don't you say I'm Houtu! Do you want to know about cross-dressing?" "You, do you want to come back? Come, read it aloud with me, I am willing to convert…" This was the story of a transmigrator who gradually went astray after encountering Rahu… [P.S. Without the system, the cheat is transmigration.] 6." Wilderness: Kill the transmigrator, I, Huang Long, will be safe ": Huang Long had just become the disciple of Heavenly Lord Yuanshi when he accidentally obtained the memory of a transmigrator. After learning that he had no treasure, no disciples, no Dao, and no victories, he felt extremely helpless. Hence, the yellow dragon burst out with supreme dragon might and decided to defy the heavens and change its fate, preparing for a rainy day. Primordial Heaven Supreme was extremely protective! Just what I wanted! Tongtian: Martial Nephew, can you not be so steady? Huang Long: " Be a little more reckless. Alright, I'll kill him!" Tai Qing: " Martial Nephew, don't fight and kill for no reason. We are a sect of saints after all!" Yellow Dragon: Alright, steady growth! Primordial Origin: " My dear disciple, I really can't protect you anymore. Can you keep a low profile?" "What?" You still want to kill? Alright, just wait and see, Master!" Huang Long, who had been a dragon for two lifetimes, became the most stable person in Chan School. He entered the Dao by devouring and walked a different path of seeking the Dao. Billions of years later, he would devour the primordial world and achieve a different type of dao vindication! 7." True Immortal of Blessing of the Gods ": Li Chuan first came. As a small soldier of the Western Zhou Dynasty, he had the innate blessing energy. He vaguely embarked on the path of cultivation. In this God Sealing Tribulation, he followed the trend and advanced step by step. 8." I Traded All Things in Journey to the West ": Journey to the West's prehistoric novel. It starts with the Calabash Brothers. It's not bad. It's good grass. It's just that the pace is quite fast. I wonder if it will collapse in the later stages. 9." Journey to the West: I Am a Soldier in the Heavenly Court ": For countless years in the Heavenly Court, the great sects monopolized power. It was difficult for the Jade Emperor. He wanted to lead Buddhism to balance Taoism. Jade Emperor: Go to the Western Heaven and invite Buddha Tathagata! Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King Li Jing,"Your Majesty!" I, Buddha Rulai, have been stopped outside the Southern Heavenly Gate! Jade Emperor: Who is so bold?

" The days when Sun Wukong and I worked together to take the wool from the Jade Emperor!"... 10." Primeval Heavenly Court's Heavenly Soldiers "[65 Points, Upgrade Flow] He was a heavenly soldier, he went to the battlefield with a sword, he was inexplicably skilled in martial arts, he fought monsters above his level, he was favored by a big shot, and then he leveled up very slowly. It was probably the same routine from more than ten years ago. 11:" Man in the Eight Immortals, Starting from the Painted Skin Ghost ": Traversing through a world of Xianxia and supernatural beings, becoming one of the Eight Immortals in the future, Han Xiangzi. He thought that he had nothing, but he was lucky to have the help of a nine-colored treasure lotus in his soul. As long as one did good deeds, accumulated virtue, gathered Wish Power, and vanquished demons and devils…the Nine-Colored Treasure Lotus would shed its seeds and turn into a myriad of good fortune. The Taiyi Fairy Book, the Eight-Treasure Exorcism Umbrella, the Purple-Gold Jade Flute, the Nail Head Seven Arrows… After that, Han Xiangzi fought three foxes and worshiped Bixia in the temple of Mount Tai. When the Tang Palace was hunting ghosts, the Exorcist King came to call him brother. Han Yu's birthday, where is the home of Yunheng Qinling?

Xu Chen finally transformed and entered the Heavenly Court as a member of the expedition camp due to the opportunity. Starting from the young captain, he dominated the battlefield and finally entered the Soaring Heaven King Palace. He thanked the king and became a true god. From then on, he began his real journey. " His Majesty has decreed that the Great Sage, Heaven's Equal, Sun Wukong, disrupted the Feast of Peaches and stole the Golden Pill of the Elder Lord. He has committed a heinous crime and is unforgivable. He has ordered the Commander of the Dragon Martial Army, Xu Chen, to lead 200,000 Heavenly troops to attack!"

In order to save his mother and protect his sister, he had no choice but to embark on a path that had long been set. However, as he walked…he realized that something was wrong. "Liu Yanchang? That guy is just a mortal. What makes you think I would fall in love with such a weak guy?" The Third Holy Mother looked at the scholar who had fallen on a crooked tree at the edge of the cliff with disdain. She drew her sword and cut the tree. Yang Jian was speechless. "Silly child, the Jade Emperor is my brother. Why would he harm me? He simply hates you." Yun Hua's face was filled with love as she patted her second son's head with pity. Yang Jian was speechless. Why did everything seem so out of place with what he was familiar with? Was he the one who was wrong, or was it the world? " I, Hongjun, will teach the methods of Zenith Heaven and becoming a saint in Zixiao Palace a hundred years later. All Primordial Immortals can come and listen." Yang Lei felt very uncomfortable when he heard such a loud voice coming from somewhere. Dao Ancestor, I want to hear it too! ...... " Your Majesty, the outside world is saying that Yang Shu Jing is your illegitimate son, so you taught him the Golden Crow Rainbow Transformation Technique…" Taiyi's eyes widened. He, a Golden Crow, had given birth to a son of Yang Shu? ...... "Your Majesty, the Jie and Chan Sects seem to be making a big move again…" "Quickly go and invite Yang Qing. Let's see what he heard." ...... Sigh, I already said that I didn't eavesdrop. They just floated into my ears. Besides, who in the Primordial World doesn't know that I'm tight-lipped, Yang Sanshi… Hey, hey, hey, Fairy Qingluan, I really didn't spread the news that you suffered from the longing of the Great God Lu Wu... What does what Yang Lei said have to do with me, Three Stones? 15:" Journey to the West: I Am a Buddhist Undercover Bear ": What is Buddha? What was a demon? The demon came to the world, but was mistaken by the world. With compassion in his heart, even demons could cultivate into Buddhas. If there is no compassion in the heart, the Buddha will also degenerate into a demon. Buddha is merciful and all living beings are equal. Under the Buddhist Commandment Blade, everything was the same. This was a story of a demon becoming a Buddha and then rebelling against Buddha. " The Wilderness: Starting from the Foolish Old Man Shifting Mountains ": Fang Yang traveled through the Wilderness and became a Dragon Li in the Taihang Mountains.

However, just as he was feeling happy about his fortuitous encounter, an old man's voice came from the foot of the mountain. "Evil God on the mountain, listen up. From today onwards, I, the foolish old man, will dig out the royal house and level the Taihang Mountain…" "?" "I am Xiao Sheng in the Apotheosis":[62 points, Apotheosis] God-Sealing Doujin was really slow to write. The main character always had a conspiracy wherever he went. There were no good people other than the main character. The protagonist would do this and that crazily. There were ten crazy people in one chapter. Knowing that his cultivation was low, he always talked about cultivation. The main character, you should f * cking cultivate and increase your strength. It was all in the protagonist's mind. When they encountered some pressing matters, there was definitely a conspiracy. He didn't know that the main character would encounter so many conspiracies. Everyone he met was not a good person. Other people had low IQ, but the protagonist had high IQ. Once he transmigrated, Yu Ding found himself in the Primordial World and was one of the twelve Golden Immortals of the Clan of Enlightenment in the future. Danger lurked everywhere in the Primordial Universe. Naturally, he had to find a Sage's golden thigh. It just so happened that his master was destined to become a saint! What was that? The future Battle of Gods Investiture would be tragic? Nine Bends of Yellow Sand? Ten Thousand Immortals of the Mystic Sect Became Buddhas? However, wasn't the legacy of the Jade Pure lineage to protect their children? Moreover, since he was here, he naturally wanted to unite the Three Pure Ones. How could he let the Celestial Sect split? At first, Yu Ding felt that he could lie there until the Immeasurable Calamity. Until one day, a Taoist appeared beside him and stroked his head, muttering to himself," What a good stone. I wonder what kind of treasure can be refined from it?" Yu Ding: "???" At this moment, Yu Ding suddenly realized that something was wrong with the script! Was he the future twelve Golden Immortals? Perhaps it was! But now, he seemed to be at the initial stage of Immortal Yu Ding-a large piece of jade! " The Untainted Land's Kun Peng, the Enemy of the Heavenly Dao ": The Untainted Land's Unlucky One Must Be the Kun Peng. It was originally a living being evolved from chaos. It was born before the world and was independent. It was the teacher of billions of demons. However, when he heard about the Zixiao Palace, Zhunti Jieyin took his Sage Position first. After he left the Zixiao Palace, Zhunti and Jieyin chased him to a desperate situation. Qin Mo, who had yet to become a saint and had yet to run out of energy, vowed to defy the heavens and change his fate. At that time, the Dragon and Phoenix were fighting, and they decided to discuss the three races together. Then, during the Witch Demon Tribulation, they became brothers with the Twelve Ancestors of Sorcery. He planned step by step, passed down supreme techniques, created a sect, and opened up an eternal world… In the vast Wilderness, in the three thousand Sectors.
