The full text of the 23 rd Journey to the West (in vernacular)

The twenty-third journey to the west: the three monks don't forget the book, and the four saints try the vernacular version of Zen;

Four disciples crossed the Liusha River and passed a farmhouse a few days later, asking to stay here for one night. This family has three daughters, and their mother wants to recruit Tang Yan's disciples as sons-in-law, and keeps persuading Tang Yan's disciples. Of the four people, only Pig Bajie was moved.

Fell asleep at night, Pig Bajie quietly ran out to find Xiaosan, hoping to be her son-in-law, but was teased by his three daughters and hanged himself in a tree all night.

The truth came out the next day. It turned out that the Bodhisattva was testing the four masters and disciples, and Pig Bajie did not withstand the temptation.
