Journey to the West is one of the Four Great Classical Novels in China. Among them, what are the three difficulties in "There are three difficulties on the road"?

Actually, it's three stories, because all of them are in the eighty-one difficulty of Tang Priest's learning the scriptures, so it's said that there are three difficulties in the road.

the first difficulty is to defend against the enemy Huang Fengling. Huang Fengguai, also known as the Great Sage of the Yellow Wind, was an enlightened mouse at the foot of Lingshan Mountain. Because he ate the clear oil in the glass lamp, he was afraid that King Kong would catch him and blame him, so he went to Huangfengling to stir up evil spirits. He tricked the Monkey King and Pig Bajie with a golden cicada's trick, and caught the Tang Priest wanting to eat the flesh of the holy monk, so as to live forever. Huang Fengguai used a steel fork with one pole and three strands, which was very brave. He fought with the Monkey King in Huangfengling for more than 3 rounds, but he didn't win. Huang Fengguai blew a strong wind, blowing Wukong around in the air like a spinning wheel, and his eyes were sore. Fortunately, the Virgin of Mount Li was treated (during the period, Pig Bajie lusted after the beauty of the Virgin Maid, which also told the story of the Four Saints trying to meditate). In desperation, Wukong moved to bodhisattva lingji from Sumeru when he was a child. He used Dingfengzhu and Feilong to subdue Huang Fengguai, so that he could show the true nature of the mink and rescue the Tang Priest.

the second difficulty is that the master and the apprentice return to the truth skillfully. The last disciple, Friar Sand, joined the Buddhist scriptures team. Friar Sand's dharma name was Wujing, and he was called Friar Sand. He was originally the general of the shutter of the Jade Emperor in the Heavenly Palace. Because he broke the glass lamp and violated the dogma, he was banished from heaven and made waves in the quicksand river on earth. The weapon he used was a demon-subduing staff, with high martial arts and no fear of strong enemies. At the beginning, I didn't know Tang Priest and Wukong. After being enlightened by the disciple of Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva in Nanhai, I worshipped Tang Priest as my teacher, and together with the Monkey King and Pig Bajie, I protected Tang Priest to learn Buddhist scriptures in the West. And with the help of bodhisattva gourd, I crossed the quicksand river with heavy feathers.

The third difficulty is that the Four Saints try meditation. The Lady of Mount Lishan talked about the unstable meditation of Pig Bajie at the Yulan meeting, and Guanyin entrusted the two Bodhisattvas, the Lady of Mount Lishan and Manjusri Pu Xian, to become four mothers and daughters, and borrowed the adopted son-in-law to test the sincerity of the four apprentices. The other three teachers and disciples all decided to the Buddha's heart. Only Pig Bajie showed his lewd nature, intending to marry in heaven, and was finally punished by the Four Saints with pearls and brocade sweatshirts.
