What is The Journey to the West talking about?
The fourteenth time: the six thieves have gone.

Liu Boqin sent Tang Priest to the second mountain, rescued the Monkey King and left Liu Boqin for the west. On the way to the ship, I met six mountain thieves (that is, seeing happiness, listening to anger, smelling love, tasting thoughts, wanting to see, worrying about my health). On behalf of the six senses, Wukong killed six thieves, and the Tang Priest blamed Wukong for killing people, so Wukong left the Tang Priest behind.

Walking alone, the Tang Priest met the Bodhisattva and taught him a spell. When the Monkey King came to the East China Sea, the Dragon King told the story of Sean and Huang Shigong entering the bridge. Wukong turned and found the Tang Priest. The Tang Priest tricked Wukong into wearing a spell, controlled Wukong and told him that it was a spell taught by the Bodhisattva. So the Monkey King gave up and followed the Tang Priest on his way.

Extended data:

The six thieves who appeared this time: one is to see happiness, the other is to listen to anger, the other is to smell love, the other is to taste thoughts with the tongue, the other is to see desire, and the other is to worry about the body, representing the six roots of the Monkey King.

(1) Eyes: What can see the color is. Because it can recognize colors, it is called eye root.

(2) ears: what can hear the sound is. In order to be able to hear sound, it is called an ear root.

(3) nose: what can smell the fragrance is. In order to know the smell, it is called the nasal root.

(4) tongue: all that can be tasted is. Tongue knowledge is born because it can be tasted, so it is called tongue root.

(5) body: what you can feel is. In order to be able to touch the body, it is called the body root.

(6) meaning: those who know the law are. To realize the Dharma is the root of righteousness.
