Story synopsis

Tang Seng, his master and his four disciples, headed westward in a dusty journey. As we walked, the heat gradually became unbearable. It was autumn at this time, and everyone felt strange. After asking about it, I found out that there was a flaming mountain in front of me. There was no grass growing within a radius of 800 miles. I also heard from the Land Master that if you want to cross the mountain, you can only cross the mountain by borrowing a banana fan from Princess Iron Fan to put out the fire.

Sun Wukong arranged for his master to go to Basho Cave to find Princess Iron Fan. Princess Iron Fan is the wife of the Bull Demon King and the mother of the Red Boy. Because Red Boy wanted to eat Tang Monk's meat last time and had enmity with Wukong, Princess Iron Fan was not willing to borrow it. When Wukong borrowed a fan for the first time, Princess Iron Fan used a banana fan to fan him fifty-four thousand miles away. Lingji Bodhisattva learned the truth and gave him a "Wind-Fixing Pill" before borrowing the fan.

The princess fanned him again. Wukong held the Wind-Fixing Pill in his mouth and remained motionless. The princess was afraid and hurried back to the cave, staying behind closed doors. Wukong transformed into a small insect, flew into the hole, and burrowed under the tea foam. The princess drank the tea into her belly, punched, kicked, and tossed back and forth. The princess felt unbearable pain in her belly, so she agreed to lend her a fan, but What was given was a fake fan.

The second time Wukong came to borrow the fan, Wukong turned into the Bull Demon King and deceived him into getting the real fan, but was taken back by Zhu Bajie, who had been transformed by the Bull Demon King. Wukong came to borrow the fan three times. Wukong fought with the Bull Demon King. Bajie, Sha Seng, Nezha and the God of Heaven stepped forward to help him fight, and finally beat the Bull Demon King until he revealed his true form. Wukong used a banana fan to extinguish the mountain fire, and the four masters and disciples continued to travel west to obtain Buddhist scriptures.
