Indeed, the golden Buddha image that enveloped Sha Wujing's body was none other than Sun Wukong's master, Golden Cicada Tang Sanzang. After Sha Wujing lost his memory, he forgot his eldest disciple brother Sun Wukong, his second disciple brother Zhu Bajie, the White Dragon, and even who he was himself, but in his heart, he never forgot one person, and that was Tang Sanzang. Although he did not know who this name represented, although he did not know who the Buddha image he condensed every time was, in his heart there was one conviction, "I must find my master, Tang Sanzang."
Therefore, when the golden Buddha image appeared, Sun Wukong could not help but shed tears—not just out of nostalgia for his own master but also because Sha Wujing's actions overwhelmed him with sadness. Despite having lost his memory and forgotten everything, he still remembered his master.
