The Yellow-Robe Demon

Cheng’en Wu

The White-Bone Demon repeatedly took the appearance of a human to deceive Xuanzang. The monkey saw through the trick and killed the demon, but Xuanzang, unaware about the demon's true identity, got angry about the killing and sent the monkey away. Xuanzang then mistakenly met the Yellow-Robe Demon and was rescued by the third princess of the Baoxiang Kingdom. The demon morphed into a handsome man, went to the Baoxiang Kingdom, and transformed Xuanzang into a tiger. Xuanzang's horse failed to rescue his master and told Pigsy to ask the monkey back to help. The monkey returned and fought the demon. He assumed it was a god of Heaven, so he rushed to Heaven to complain to the Jade Emperor. The Jade Emperor ordered the Heavenly Master to find out who it was. They discovered that it was Kuixing, who had sneaked down to the earthly world, and recalled him back to Heaven. The monkey sent the princess back to the Baoxiang Kingdom and broke the demon's spell on Xuanzang. Xuanzang and the monkey reconciled.
