Fiction: Xiyou ji (Journey to the West)

[Paul Ferguson]

"The Journey to the West Research blog [is] a repository for research on the great Chinese classic Xiyou ji (西遊記, 1592 CE). The story follows a Buddhist monk and his fallen gods-turned-monster disciples on a quest to procure salvation-bestowing scriptures from the Buddha in India."

Many alchemical references.
