A young Taoist began shouting wildly while pounding on the door of his masters’ chambers. “Respected Masters! A terrible misfortune has occurred!”
•
Wukong, Bajie, and Monk Sha descended from the cloud and entered the Temple of the Three Pures.
•
Sun Wukong recounted everything that had happened to Tripitaka. The Monk Tang exclaimed, deeply moved: “What can we possibly do in a situation like this?”
•
The master and his disciples emerged from the Cave of the Fire Cloud, found the main road, and continued westward.
•
They traveled nearly seventy kilometers over the most treacherous terrain, yet found not the slightest trace of their master.
•
Bajie led the way, followed closely by the resurrected king. Monk Sha helped the Master mount his horse, while the Monkey King brought up the rear.
•
As he walked, Bajie was thinking to himself: “What a wretched life! I was sleeping peacefully when that cursed monkey tricked me into hauling a corpse! Disgusting! I’ll make him pay—I’ll beg the master to recite the Headache Spell!”
