There is a fairy stone on the top of the mountain in Guo Hua. After absorbing the essence of the innocent and beautiful sun and moon for a long time, one day a stone monkey jumped out of it. He discovered water curtain cave in Guo Hua and was honored as king by all monkeys, hence the name "Monkey King". He was accepted as a disciple by Bodhi, learned high-strength skills, and rushed to the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea to snatch the "Ruyi Golden Hoop" as a weapon. After holding a golden hoop, he claimed to be "the Great Sage of the Monkey", made a scene in the Heavenly Palace and beat 100,000 heavenly soldiers out of the water.
The Jade Emperor invited the Tathagata Buddha to rescue him, and the Tathagata cast a spell to put Wukong at the foot of Wuxing Mountain. Five hundred years later, Avalokitesvara converted Wukong to Buddhism, and asked Tang Sanzang, a monk of the Tang Dynasty, to go to the Western Heaven to believe in the Buddha and rescue him.
Wukong has since become a great disciple of Tang Priest. Along the way, he and his younger brothers, Pig Bajie and Friar Sand, took care of the master and conquered all kinds of monsters, such as Bai, Spider Essence, and Niu, and defeated the eighty-one difficulty. Finally, he succeeded in getting the true sutra and making it a positive result. He himself was named "Fighting Buddha" by the Tathagata.
He dared to struggle and despised the rebellious spirit of all feudal authorities. The Monkey King was originally a stone monkey on Guo Hua Mountain, the pride of Dongsheng Shenzhou. After his birth, he lived a free life in the blessed land of Xianshan, not controlled by Kirin, phoenix or human palace. In the Dragon Palace, he "scared the old dragon king and scared the little dragon out of his wits"; In hades, he made the ten halls of hades bow down.
He dared to call himself the Great Sage of the Monkey and shouted the slogan "The emperors take turns to do it and come to my house next year". Make a scene in the Heavenly Palace, and beat those heavenly generals out of the water, which scared the Jade Emperor out of his mind. Hades and heaven, the sacred and inviolable authority of the water world on weekdays, stood before him one by one in complete disgrace. In addition, he dared to call Tathagata the nephew of goblins and Guanyin Bodhisattva "because she has no husband's life". He even despises the king of the world.
2. Tang Priest: The common surname is Chen, posthumous title Jiang Liuer, the legal name is Xuanzang, and the name is Sanzang. He was given the surname of Tang by Emperor Taizong. Reincarnated as the second disciple of Buddha, Jin Chan. 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 Jinshan 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 Emperor Taizong, became sworn with him and went to the Western Heaven to learn from the scriptures.
The Tang Priest is merciful and dedicated to the Buddha. He is honest and kind, but he is also timid.
3. Pig Bajie (Jiang Mumu): Also known as Pig Zhu Gang and Pig Wuneng. Formerly the "Marshal Tian Peng" of the Heavenly Palace, he was in charge of the Tianhe Water Army. Because I was drunk at the flat peach banquet of the Queen Mother Yaochi, I broke into the Guanghan Palace in an attempt to flirt with the Nishang Fairy. Nishang refused to accept it again and again, hiding in Tibet and being depressed. He was summoned by the Lingguan to play the Jade Emperor, which angered the Jade Emperor and was banished to the world.
However, I cast a pig fetus by mistake, turned into a wild boar, refined into a pig-faced man, with memories before reincarnation and weapons given by the Jade Emperor. Gao Cuilan, a young lady from Gaojiasan, was captured in Gaolaozhuang and later surrendered by the Monkey King, who followed Tang Priest to learn Buddhist scriptures in the West. In the end, it came naturally, and the title was "net altar messenger".
He is lazy, simple and honest, timid, greedy and cheap, lustful, but full of comedy, and sometimes makes achievements. It killed the sow, the pigs and adopted the cat sister who went to Zhan Yundong in Fuling. Unexpectedly, second sister Mao died a year later, leaving him only a abode of fairies and immortals. At this time, I live in Yunzhan Cave and call myself "a pig."
The Tang Priest, seeking Buddhist scriptures in the West, passed by Gao Laozhuang and had a fight with the Monkey King in Zhanyun Cave. When he heard the name of Tang Priest, he went to visit him. After being accepted as a second apprentice by Tang Priest, Tang Priest nicknamed him "Bajie" to prevent him from eating five meats and three evils. From then on, Bajie became the Monkey King's helper, shouldering heavy burdens all the way to protect Tang Priest from going to the Western Heaven to learn Buddhist scriptures. The weapon is a nine-toothed rake.
Pig Bajie has many ordinary people's life pursuits. Therefore, it is repeatedly emphasized in the novel that Pig Bajie's greatest wish is to be a good son-in-law, guard his wife and live a comfortable life all his life, which is enough. He had to join the ranks of Buddhist scriptures, which was an arrangement to go to Buddha and a punishment for his past sins, but it was certainly not his personal will.
This is different from the Monkey King. When the Monkey King heard that there were so many interesting things to do, he was in high spirits. But pig eight quit absolutely don't want to. He was forced to participate in Buddhist scriptures. Therefore, as soon as he encountered difficulties and obstacles in the process of learning the scriptures, he immediately asked for "dismissal" and even couldn't wait to go home and live his own life.
It is written in the novel that Zhu Bajie is the least determined member of the three disciples, and also the least determined member. He kept accumulating private money along the way, and the money was hidden in the eyes of big ears, which was a good sign of "caring for the family" and boasted some money to go home to live; But on the bad side, he is obviously the most unstable person who always wants to "break up".
For Pig Bajie, there is also a very simple desire for survival, or a very strong desire for survival. This strong desire for survival has two words, one is food and the other is color. This desire to eat color is extremely strong for Zhu Bajie, extremely strong.
This is an ultimate goal of life, or one of the goals that can irritate him and inspire him most in life, that is, eating well, pursuing lust, eating well and lust. This kind of eating color is a kind of human nature, so in this sense, Pig Bajie is actually a symbol of human nature.
Friar Sand: also known as Sha Wujing and Friar Sand. Originally a confined general in the Heavenly Palace, he broke the glass lamp at the flat peach party, angered the Jade Emperor, was banished to the world, was turned into a monster by the Liusha River, and suffered the pain of thousands of arrows piercing the heart. Later, he was surrendered by Tang Priest and his disciples, and was mainly responsible for leading horses all the way. After it was completed, it was named "Golden Lohan". Honest and hardworking.
5. White (Jade Dragon): Also known as Jade Dragon (Little Dragon King). Bai, who was originally the third prince of the West Sea Dragon King, will be beheaded for setting fire to pearls given by the Jade Emperor, violating the dogma.
Thanks to the mercy of Guanyin Bodhisattva in Nanhai, she survived and was exiled to Snake Mountain to wait for Tang Priest to learn Buddhist scriptures in the West. Unfortunately, he didn't know Tang Yan and Wukong, and he ate Tang Yan's white horse by mistake. Later, enlightened by Guanyin Bodhisattva, when he saw that the horn was reduced in size and turned white, he converted to Buddhism and offered a mount of Tang Priest on the way to learn from the Buddhist scriptures. He worked hard and went through hardships, and finally achieved positive results. After returning from studying Buddhism, he was promoted to the Eight Dragon Horses by the Tathagata Buddha.
Main supporting roles:
1, Guanyin Bodhisattva: dignified and kind, often holding a pure bottle of willow, with the magical power of bringing back the dead, one of the proud disciples of the Buddha. He is merciful and saves people from danger. When people encounter disasters, as long as they pronounce their names, they can hear the voices of suffering in the world, so they are called Guanyin. The Monkey King damaged the ginseng fruit tree in Yuan Daxian town on his way to the Western Heaven to learn Buddhist scriptures, and could not be cured, so he had to ask Guanyin Bodhisattva for help.
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 to subdue Hong Haier, Marshal Tian Peng, the Three Princes of the West Sea Dragon King, and let Tang Priest and his disciples learn from the Buddhist scriptures in the West, which was the savior who made everyone in the world get love, peace and happiness.

Proficient in three religions and nine streams, the art of longevity, seventy-two changes, walking on clouds, etc. The Monkey King had just defected to the bodhi patriarch's door, and the bodhi patriarch saw his wise nature and named him Wukong.
Then he taught the Monkey King the immortal spell, seventy-two changes, and then he taught the somersault cloud. After ten years' careful teaching, the Monkey King has changed from a stubborn mortal to an enlightened monkey, with 84,000 hairs on his body, and the roots can be changed at will, which has laid a profound martial arts foundation for Wukong's spirit in heaven and the protection of Tang Priest.
3. Jade Emperor: Also known as the Jade Emperor Tianzunxuan the king of world Emperor, it took more than 3,000 years to become an immortal, and it took 1555 robbery, each robbery lasted for129,600 years, enjoying boundless Tao, becoming the supreme master in charge of heaven, earth and human beings, and being honored as the noblest god by Buddhism and Taoism.
The Jade Emperor lives in the Lingxiao Hall of the Golden Queyun Palace, which consists of thirty-three heavenly palaces and seventy-two halls.

The flat peach she planted is the most magical. Small peach trees have been cooked for 3 thousand years, and those who eat them are light in fitness and immortal. Ordinary peach trees are only cooked once in 6000 years. When people eat them, they soar in the daytime and live forever. The best food is cooked in 9000. People eat it with heaven and earth, with the sun and the moon. She is the most respected goddess in the Heavenly Palace. She is responsible for banquets for immortals in heaven and for marriage and childbirth on earth.

He often rides a green cow. He has a magic weapon called Jin Gangzhuo, which is very powerful. He made great contributions to the capture of the Monkey King, who caused havoc in Heaven, but was stolen by his green cow and found in Jin? The cave defeated the Monkey King, King Tota, Eighteen Arhats and other immortals many times. Finally, the old man gave a fan, took away the diamond cutter and handed over the green ox essence. He is a good man who makes peace and will not fight with others easily.
6. Ji Ling Bodhisattva: Living in Little Sumi Mountain, she has vast magical powers, a flying dragon staff in her hand, and treasures such as Buddha's wind-setting beads. Tang Priest was caught by stingrays in Huang Fengling, but the Monkey King couldn't beat the rat spirit many times. Enlightened by Taibai Venus, the Monkey King invited Bodhisattva Ji Ling to do somersault.
Ji Ling threw the dragon staff and turned it into an eight-claw golden dragon. He opened his claws and caught the goblin, which made the goblin show the true face of the stingray. Later, the Tang Priest was blocked in the 800-mile Flame Mountain. Princess Iron Fan used the banana fan to fan the Monkey King like a broken leaf, and it was Bodhisattva Ji Ling who lent the wind-setting beads to Wukong who resisted the rogue banana fan.
7. The birthday girl in Antarctica: a lovely old fairy with a big meat bag on her head and a dragon cane in her hand, followed by a white deer for him to ride. Unexpectedly, this white deer will not die. Taking advantage of the opportunity of the Antarctic birthday girl playing chess with Donghua Emperor, through thousands of years of practice, she went down to the monk's world and colluded with the fox, turning the fox into a beautiful woman as beautiful as flowers and pure as jade, offering it to the king and pretending to be the ruler of the country.
As a longevity medicine, the heart dedicated to children hurts people. As a result, the Monkey King, caught in the eye of fire, was doomed and surrendered by Wukong. Wukong was about to kill the original essence of White Deer when the Antarctic fairy arrived and ordered the monster to show his true colors and return to fairy mountain on a camel.
8. Taibai Venus: surnamed Li, a famous star in the sky, strong and kind. The Monkey King rushed into the underworld and got into trouble with the Dragon Palace. The Jade Emperor is about to send troops to crusade. Taibai Venus interceded for Wukong and suggested that Wukong be appointed as a riding officer. When the Monkey King rebelled against the Heavenly Palace for the second time, it was Venus who made Wukong a Monkey King and managed the Flat Peach Garden.
Later, on the way to the Western Heaven to learn Buddhist scriptures, Chang Gengxing secretly helped four people defeat Huang Fengguai and swept the lion camel cave many times. He is a kind old man.
9. Zhenyuan Daxian: He is the ancestor of Xian Di and the Taoist Zhenyuan Zi. He lives in Wuzhuangguan, Niuhezhou, and his Taoism is extensive and profound. Even Guanyin Bodhisattva gave him three points. The ginseng fruit he planted ripens only once in 9000 years, and he can live to 360 years old by smelling the magical ginseng fruit. You can live for 47,000 years by eating one. Zhenyuan Daxian has a beautiful beard, looks like a child's face, and has no weapons in his hand, only a jade dust owl.
In the fight with the Monkey King, a bluebird can resist the golden hoop, only playing two or three rounds. He used the magic of Gankun in his sleeve to put the Tang priest and his disciples, including men and horses, in his sleeve. It was really amazing. However, Daxian is enlightened and outstanding. The Monkey King invited the Bodhisattva to save the ginseng fruit tree, forgot the past, became sworn brothers with the Monkey King, generously held a ginseng fruit party, and entertained immortals and Tang Priests with precious ginseng fruit, which was quite a big fairy.
