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 rescue the child and even offered him a ride on the horse. The child said his limbs were numb from being tied, so he couldn’t ride the horse. Thus, Tang Monk had Sun Wukong carry him. Sun Wukong, with his fiery eyes, saw that the child was no good, so he pretended nothing was wrong and carried him. As they walked, he suddenly threw the child onto a large rock. The child was clever too and immediately leaped into the air, used a demonic spell, and summoned a whirlwind to snatch Tang Monk away.
