After defeating the demon, Sun Wukong flew toward the eastern slope of the mountain. Before he even arrived, he clearly heard the lamentations of Tang Sanzang and saw Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing dividing their belongings.
Rising above the clouds, Wukong headed toward the place where he had left Tang Monk.
He tore off the name plates, gathered the wooden clappers and bells, then picked up the patrol banner and slung it over his back.
Leaping up through the sky, Sun Wukong soon arrived at Purple Cloud Mountain. It did not take him long to locate the Thousand Flower Cave.
