The king of Mount Jindou conjures up enchanted palaces to trap people who pass by. Pig is fooled, causing the Tang Priest and Friar Sand to be captured as well and taken to the demon’s cave. Monkey fights the demon but is not able to defeat him, largely due to the demon’s fierce magic weapon, the Diamond Jade Bangle. None of the gods Monkey asks for help (including the Star Lord of Fire) are successful, either. Then Monkey begs the Buddha on Vulture Peak for relief.
