During the Tang Dynasty, demons were rampant. A small fishing village, suffering from the fish demon, invited a Taoist to exorcise the demon. Chen Xuanzang, a young exorcist, came to help, but was mistaken for a liar. Fortunately, Miss Duan, a professional bounty exorcist, helped Xuanzang subdue the fish demon. The two met again in Gaojiazhuang and subdued the pig demon pig. This time the exorcism was unsuccessful, but Miss Duan fell in love with Xuanzang at first sight.

Xuanzang turned to Master for help and learned that the way to exorcise demons was to turn to the Monkey King, who was trapped under Wuzhishan Mountain. So he went to Wuzhishan, and met Miss Duan and her five evil spirits on the way. Miss Duan even tried to be with Xuanzang, but she was repeatedly rejected. Under the guidance of the fourth sister, she wanted to be more feminine, but it backfired.

After breaking up, Xuanzang went on his way alone, and at the same time, the demon-reducing teachers Wild Goose Horn and kong xu gong zi also went to exorcise the demons together. After many hardships, Xuanzang finally found the Monkey King. Miss Duan reappeared and gave Xuanzang an important thing. Pig demon finally surrendered, but a bigger crisis appeared in front of Xuanzang. It turns out that the Monkey King is different from what is rumored. Can Xuanzang's exorcism continue?
