The three demons confronted the Monkey King and his two companions at the eastern gates of the city. The battle raged on until the very hour of twilight, when the sky gradually darkened and night cast its veil of darkness everywhere.
•
The second demon returned to the Lion-Camel Cave, trembling from head to toe. Before he even arrived, his brothers had already learned that he had been captured and dragged away without any consideration by his trunk.
•
Taking up the iron rod, Wukong carved a path through the demons with blows. Bajie had no choice but to follow as best he could.
•
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.
•
Sun Wukong helped the trembling king to his feet. “Has the demon returned since abducting your Golden Wisdom Queen?”
•
Tripitaka said: “When I left Chang’an, I vowed in the Hall of the Dharma Gates that I would not pass by a temple without burning incense, nor a monastery without paying homage to Buddha, nor a pagoda without sweeping its courtyard or stairs.”
•
Tang Sanzang and Sha Monk waited restlessly for Wukong’s return, pacing like caged animals by the roadside.
