The novel depicts the stories happening during the Journey from Xi’an (the capital of Tang Dynasty) to India. Four people (Xuanzang 玄奘, Sun Wukong 孙悟空, Zhu Bajie 猪八戒,  Sha Wujing 沙悟净) made this trip. The aim of the trip was to get the Buddhist Sutras and bring them back. On their way, they met lots of difficulties and demons, who want to cook and eat Xuanzang so as to live forever.
