Scene: Battle with Red Boy
That day, Tang Monk and his disciples entered a deep mountain. The air was filled with eerie breezes and demonic aura. Suddenly, they heard someone shouting for help. Following the sound, they found a child tied up and hung on a tree. Tang Monk quickly asked Zhu Bajie to free the child and even offered him a ride on the horse. The child said his hands and feet were numb and couldn’t ride a horse, so Tang Monk asked Sun Wukong to carry him. Sun Wukong, with his fiery eyes, saw that the child was not a good person and carried him silently. As they walked, he suddenly threw the child onto a large rock. The child was quite clever and immediately leaped into the air, used an evil spell, and summoned a whirlwind to snatch Tang Monk away.
