The plot is simple and direct. There are only a few twist and falling actions. When reading religiously, it is very enlightening. It is a real-man show in the world of Buddhism and Chinese mythology of Heavenly Empire. The Monk is just like an ordinary man who is blinded by five senses and the body. He often feels tired, hungry and need to find a shelter. And he sometimes is blinded in front of evil and overconfident in his ability of finding good from chaos. Like us, he believes what he wants and takes an easy path to the truth. He has to pass 9X9 81 trials, not labours before receiving the sacred texts from Buddha. Similarly, we have to live through hardships and uncertainties before understanding the truth of living. However, where is our Monkey King? We have a lot of pig-team mates but hardly any Monkey King. If we bump into the Monkey King, can we recognise him? The Monkey King has been a sinner, like the other two. The Monk is accompanied by sinners, ugly and strange monsters, not handsome people with honour. Can we find the jewels in people? Can we forgive people for their sins? A message is clear that the path to the truth lies in forgiveness. A path to repentance is to do the right thing.
