After sending off Guanyin, Wukong burned the Black Wind Cave and returned to the temple with the kasaya.

Tang Sanzang saw the kasaya and was very happy.

The monks prepared a meal, and after the master and disciple finished eating, they continued westward.

After walking for seven or eight days, they arrived at a village.

They saw a young man, his head wrapped in cloth, walking very hurriedly.

Wukong walked over and stopped him, asking: "What place is this?"

The young man did not speak and tried to walk past from the side.

Wukong stopped him again.

Unable to leave, the young man had to say: "This is Gao Laozhuang."

Wukong asked again: "Where are you going?"

The young man said: "I was sent by Old Master Gao, and I am going to invite a monk to catch the monster."

Please, elder, let me go.

Wukong laughed and said: "No need to invite, I am the one who catches monsters."

The young man saw that Wukong looked special and Tang Seng was very solemn, so he believed them.

He took the master and disciple to Old Master Gao's home.

Old Master Gao saw Wukong and was startled.

Tang Seng immediately said: "This is my disciple."

Only then did Old Master Gao feel relieved, invited the guests to eat, and then talked about the monster matter.

It turned out that three years ago, Old Master Gao recruited a son-in-law.

The son-in-law was very good-looking and had great strength.

He could do a lot of work, but he also ate a lot.

At first, the old man found it strange, but he didn't think much about it.

Later, the son-in-law revealed his original form, which was a monster with a pig's head and a human body.

The old man invited several monks to capture him, but they were all chased away by the monster.

Now the monster has locked Miss Gao in the backyard, not allowing the family to see her.

After hearing this, Wukong asked the old man to take him to the backyard.

Wukong used his golden cudgel to pry open the lock of the backyard, rescued Miss Gao, and told the old man to hide her well.

He himself transformed into the form of Miss Gao and sat in the room waiting.

When it got dark, a strong wind blew, and the monster pushed the door open and came in.

He had a round belly, a big nose, and big ears, indeed resembling a pig.

The monster called out "good sister, I'm here", and rushed up wanting to hug.

Wukong dodged to the side, the monster missed and fell under the bed.

He got up and whispered: "Good sister, is it because you blame me, Old Pig, for coming late?"

Wukong held back laughter and said softly: "Today my parents scolded me outside."

The monster asked: "What did they scold?"

Wukong said: "They scolded me for marrying a monster, ruining the family's reputation."

The monster was very honest and comforted: "Sister, don't be sad, I'll tell you."

"My surname is Zhu, and I live in Yunzhan Cave on Fuling Mountain."

Wukong added: "They also want to invite a priest to capture you."

The monster laughed loudly and said: "Not afraid."

Wukong then said: "They invited the Great Sage Equaling Heaven who wreaked havoc in the Heavenly Palace."

Upon hearing this, the demon panicked and said: "If that's the case, then I, Old Pig, should leave first."
