Summary:

Tang Sanzang and his disciples came to the Kingdom of Women in Xiliang. The king of the Kingdom of Women fell in love with the handsome Tang Sanzang and wanted to keep him. Fortunately, Wukong was clever and tricked the pass, so the four of them were able to escape. The Six-Eared Macaque wanted to replace Wukong to go to the West to obtain the scriptures, so that he could achieve enlightenment. So he transformed into Wukong and deliberately committed murder in front of Tang Sanzang. In order to punish Wukong, Tang Sanzang drove him away. Wukong had no choice but to ask Guanyin for help. Wukong's plans were disrupted by the Six-Eared Macaque one after another. He was furious and started a fierce battle with the Six-Eared Macaque. The two fought all the way from the Heaven to Lingshan. In front of the powerful Tathagata Buddha, the Six-Eared Macaque accidentally revealed his true identity and got the fate he deserved. Tang Sanzang also resolved the misunderstanding between him and Wukong, and the master and disciple reconciled.
