Summary:
Tang Monk (played by Xue Meikang) wanted to go down the mountain alone to beg for alms, but was stopped by Sun Wukong (played by Wu Wenchao). However, Tang Monk did not listen to his apprentice's warning and insisted on going his own way. As a result, he met a Spider Spirit (played by Yin Mingzhu) living in the Pansi Cave on the way to beg for alms. The Spider Spirit captured Tang Monk in the Pansi Cave and wanted to present it to their king. Sun Wukong had not seen his master for a long time and set out to look for him. Zhu Bajie also encountered many beautiful female demons in the Pansi Cave and was seduced by them. Zhu Bajie, who was obsessed with Spirits, relaxed his vigilance and was also captured by the monsters. Sun Wukong came to the Pansi Cave and fought fiercely with the monsters, but he was outnumbered. At this critical juncture, Guanyin Bodhisattva appeared and taught Sun Wukong a set of skills to subdue demons and exorcise demons. Sun Wukong, who was re-equipped, fought against the monsters again and finally won.
