Chapter 17: The Kingdom of Bhiksu
The four of them arrived at the Kingdom of Bhiksu. The king of this country was sick and believed the slander of a demon. He planned to use the hearts of 1,111 children as medicine.
Sun Wukong was very angry when he learned about this. He found out where the demon was hiding. It turned out to be an old demon who had transformed into a Taoist and spread slander before the king. Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie defeated the demon and rescued the children.
The king was very grateful and wanted to pass the throne to Tang Sanzang. But Tang Sanzang was focused on fetching the scriptures and firmly refused. The four said goodbye to the king and continued their journey west.
