On the occasion of Iron Fan’s Millennium Birthday Party, Red Boy has been looking for treasures in the world for his mother. After hearing that the scripture-seeking team was passing by, he was encouraged by Azure Wolf Demon to rob Tang Monk. Just as Red Boy and Sun Wukong were fighting, the Azure Wolf Demon designed to trap the two in the Eight Trigrams Furnace. It turned out that the Azure Wolf Demon’s family died in the sky fire when he was young, so he was waiting for an opportunity to take revenge on Sun Wukong.

What is unexpected is that the Azure Wolf Demon’s plan caused the people of Huoyun Village to encounter mountain fires again and put them in danger. Red Boy becomes a demon and transforms into a flaming giant. Princess Iron Fan tells the truth and uses her last magic power to save the common people. She takes out a drop of nectar given by the Bodhisattva Guanyin. At this time, Sun Wukong suddenly realizes the Dharma and understands the cause and effect of karma.
