Summary:

Tang Monk, his disciples, and Sun WuKong, Zhu Bajie, and Sha Monk traveled west to obtain Buddhist scriptures. On the way, the Albino Rat spirit transformed into an orphan girl and plotted to abduct Tang Monk. She wanted to eat his flesh for immortality. WuKong went to the Crystal Palace to ask for the Wind-Fixing Bead, but was rejected by the Third Prince of the Dragon King. The only option was to seize the pearl by force. WuKong sneaked into the Weijing Cave and found that the Rat Spirit had a plaque for Li Jing, the king of the pagoda. She regarded Jing as her own father and offered a spiritual tablet. WuKong immediately reported to the Jade Emperor that Li Jing allowed his daughter to do evil, and Li Jing personally went down to earth to subdue the Rat Spirit. Tang Monk escaped from danger and continued on the road with his three disciples.
