Those who have read \"Journey to the West\" know that Tang Seng’s journey to the Western Heaven was accompanied by his disciples such as Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, Sha Heshang, and the Little White Dragon; together they overcame various obstacles and dangers on their way to obtain the sacred scriptures in the Western Heaven. The roles of the brothers are also well-defined; to put it simply, their respective responsibilities can be better described in terms of the rewards bestowed by Buddha: Sun Wukong is tasked with subduing demons and monsters along the way, Zhu Bajie is responsible for carrying loads, Sha Wujing is meant to protect the sacred monk and lead the horses when climbing mountains, while the Little White Dragon is tasked with carrying the sacred monk to the West – and it is also his role to carry the sacred scriptures to the East. In addition to subduing demons and monsters, Sun Wukong was also responsible for providing Tang Seng with food on a daily basis. Every time it was time to eat, Sun Wukong would go out to collect alms and bring back food for Tang Seng. Some people might ask why Tang Seng always sent Sun Wukong to do this, and why Zhu Bajie and Sha Heshang didn’t go instead – what’s the reason behind that?
Sun Wukong is fast: lol
The essence of thousands of years of culture is just like this – hierarchy is determined based on seniority after establishing relationships: lol
Maybe they brought back the fasting meal while on their exploration
The capable should do more work. In front of leaders, one should do their best to showcase themselves in order to gain greater benefits. The final reward gives it away: lol haha, how many people these days don’t act in this way? Oh oh, when one’s skills are inferior, bad tactics come into play: lol
Pig Bajie wanted to steal some food along the way; I seem to have heard the story of \"Pig Bajie eating watermelons.\" As for Old Sha, he might just not be very capable. Tasks that are equivalent to procurement should still be entrusted to people one trusts, in order to be done well and quickly. Besides, it’s impossible to purchase things without money; those who lack the necessary capabilities simply can’t do it.
It is said that after returning from fetching the scriptures, Pigsy married Chang’e and started a real estate and tourism company, while Sandy opened an ore processing plant?
Leverage one’s expertise – while the others seem to walk there, this guy disappears in no time at all, saving time
This monkey does its job fairly well; even if it can’t catch any food for the fasting period, it will still manage to bring back some fruits. Big Ears, on the other hand, has to return empty-handed, with his hands spread out in defeat
A cloud of magic, 108,000 li far.
