The four elements of "hermit, beauty, girl and servant" are an indispensable part of the dissolute life that literati yearn for. Four hermits in Thorn Ridge, the essence of pine, the essence of cypress, the essence of juniper and the essence of bamboo.
A few months ago, they invited Tang Priest to talk with them about poetry and music, a beautiful life and lofty aspirations. In addition to these four kinds, maple tree incarnates as naked ghost, and apricot tree incarnates as apricot fairy. In the abode of fairies and immortals, there are maids incarnating all kinds of flowers.
In addition, this "thorn ridge" not only refers to the sinister geographical environment, but also refers to the setbacks on the road of life. In the face of disturbing ordinary things, only a firm will can win a new life.
Westbound penance, lasting and growing stronger:
The difficulty of Thorn Ridge seems to be a harmless material temptation. It seems harmless, but there are many disasters. If you are not careful, you will fall into the "land of desire and tenderness" created by the devil, which makes people addicted to it and can't stop.
Going west to learn from the scriptures will test people's will and teamwork spirit. In modern times, there are four mentoring groups. In this group, everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses. Although Tang priest is weak and incompetent, he is the supreme leader of this group and has absolute right to speak. He brought these four people together.
The Monkey King is very capable, but his arrogance needs the restraint of Tang Priest. Although Friar Sand is dull and dull, he is hardworking and brave, and he works hard. Pigs are lazy, but flexible. These four people have complementary personalities. Although they stumbled on the group road, after the baptism of time, they finally United as one, twisted into a hemp rope that was difficult to cut with a knife, and finally succeeded in obtaining the True Sutra with tenacious will.
