The travelers must avoid being killed and figure out how to show the king the error of his ways. Later, the Monkey King Sun Wukong flies over a mountain and sees a large demon with 30 little demons, all blowing fog from their mouths. This leads to a great battle where the demons use the "Dividing the Petals of the Plum Flower" trick to confuse the disciples and kidnap Tangseng.This is the 28th book in the best-selling The Journey to the West series of stories for students learning to read Simplified Chinese.

In this way the original sources of our Mytholatry and Christology remained as hidden as those of the Nile, until the century in which we live.
