There were long pavilions and short pavilions, and he walked two hundred and ninety-nine miles without thinking.

I looked up and saw a good city. It's Baoxiang Country. It's such a wonderful place. Although the land is thousands of miles away, the scenery is shrouded in auspicious mist and the moon is shining in the distance.

The mountains are open to the public; the gurgling water splashes the Qiong Yao; there are rows of ploughable roads, there are enough new seedlings of sedges for food; there are three streams for fishing, and there are two peaks of peppers for each load of woodcutter.

The outline of the city is solid; every home and every household is free and easy. , Shaoxiang Hall, Guanwen Hall, Xuanzheng Hall, Yanying Hall, the Jade Palace and the Golden Steps of each hall are lined with Wen Guan and Wu Bian; there are also the Daming Palace, Zhaoyang Palace, Changle Palace, Huaqing Palace, Jianzhang Palace, In the Weiyang Palace, the bells, drums and pipes of the first palace wipe away the sorrow of spring.

There are also those in the Forbidden Garden, where flowers are exposed and the face is tender; There is a man with a crown and a girdle, riding five horses; in the secluded place, there is also a man holding a bow and carrying an arrow, walking through the alley of flowers and willows, the building of the orchestra, and the spring breeze does not let the elders learn from the Luoyang Bridge. , Looking back at the Tang Dynasty, the disciples who accompanied the master rested in the small post.

After Wukong killed the Bone Demon in Baihu Ridge, he was demoted back to Huaguo Mountain by his master. One day, Bajie went to Huazhai. After walking for a long time, he couldn't find anything to eat. So he fell asleep on the roadside. Tang Seng was worried and asked Sha Seng to find Bajie. Tang Seng walked forward slowly and saw a tree in the forest. I thought the pagoda was a temple where I could worship Buddha, but as soon as I opened the pagoda door, a yellow-robed monster grabbed it.

Thanks to the yellow-robed monster's wife for saving her; it turns out that the yellow-robed monster's wife is the shy princess of Baoxiang Kingdom. Thirteen years ago, she was abducted by the yellow-robed monster using the evil wind while admiring the moon in the palace. Became Mrs. Yazhai. She asked Tang Seng to bring a message to her father, asking him to try to rescue her.

Tang Seng recommended Bajie and Sha Seng.

After dozens of rounds, Bajie was exhausted and asked Sha Seng to continue fighting. In the end, Sha Seng was no match for the yellow-robed monster and was caught in a cave and tied up. The yellow-robed monster was so angry that he cast a spell on Tang Seng, saying that after he was beaten, he would turn into a tiger. The king was frightened to death, so he quickly ordered people to lock Tang Seng in an iron cage and set up money to entertain the consort.

Bajie followed the instructions of the white dragon horse and went up to Huaguo Mountain. He inspired the Monkey King with his wisdom. Wukong came down from the mountain and asked the Jade Emperor to help find out the identity of the yellow-robed monster. The Jade Emperor said that this monster was one of the twenty-eight stars. Kuixing. He stole the treasure and caused chaos in the lower world. After Wukong cast a spell to help Tang Seng unlock the enchantment, Tang Seng got out of trouble. Wukong went into the cave to rescue the princess of Baoxiang Kingdom. The king was overjoyed and held a banquet to thank Tang Seng and his master. After the four masters and apprentices bid farewell to the king, they continued their journey westward.
