How did Tang Priest finally die? What is the ending? What is the record?

The Tang Priest died in the eightieth difficult time, sitting on the bottomless boat of Lingyun Bridge, which is recorded very clearly in Chapter 98 of Journey to the West. At that time, the Tang Priest didn't want to go to Du Lingyun, but there was really no other way out, so he had to bite the bullet and go to Du Lingyun and die in Du Lingyun.

At that time, after 79 disasters, four Tang monks and their mentors finally came to Du Lingyun, which is also the junction between the mortal world and the Buddha. After Du Lingyun, it means that they have arrived in the western paradise, but the four great monks and tutors of the Tang Dynasty dare not go after Du Lingyun. It turns out that Lingyun Ferry is choppy and choppy. If the Tang Priest and his disciples really went there, they would certainly come to no good end. People like the Monkey King, Pig and Friar Sand are naturally not afraid of magic. How dare Tang Priest go? So Tang Priest hesitated for a long time before Lingyun crossed.

Later, the Monkey King found Lingyun Bridge and called the Tang Priest, but Lingyun Bridge was just a piece of wood, which was not only narrow but also smooth. If you walk carelessly, you will fall into the Lingyun crossing, so Tang Priest also said? Another way? . Later, a Buddhist appeared in Du Lingyun. Buddhists kindly sent Tang Priest and his disciples across Du Lingyun, while Tang Priest and his disciples took the bottomless boat of Buddhism. As a result, after the Monkey King, Pig Bajie and Friar Sand crossed Lingyun Ferry, there was a body floating at Lingyun Ferry, which was the body of Tang Priest, so Tang Priest fell into Lingyun Ferry from the bottomless boat and died.

However, although Tang Priest's body was in Lingyundu, Tang Priest still crossed Lingyundu with the Monkey King, Pig Bajie and Friar Sand. This is because Lingyundu is actually used to thoroughly remould oneself for the Tang Priest, and we all know that Tang Priest was reincarnated as a golden cicada, so after crossing Lingyundu, Tang Priest lost his mortal status and became a second disciple of the Tathagata Buddha again.
