Summary:

The Golden Rat Demon led a group of demons to occupy the bottomless cave of Xiankong Mountain, and planned to capture Tang Monk, marry him first and then eat his flesh, in order to achieve immortality and become an immortal. The Golden Rat Demon seduced Tang Monk in every possible way, and then went to the hall to force him to marry. But Tang Monk was only thinking about the scriptures, and his Zen heart was not moved. The Golden Rat Demon finally became angry and wanted to cook and eat Tang Monk. When Sun Wukong came back from begging for food, he learned that his master was taken away by the demon again. He was very anxious and beat the mountain god with a stick. Only then did he know that his master was taken away by the Golden Rat Demon, the owner of the bottomless cave of Xiankong Mountain thousands of miles away.

He immediately led his junior brothers Bajie and Sha Seng to explore the cave. During the process of Wukong and Bajie looking for their master, Bajie was confused by the demon fire and was captured by the demon, and Wukong was almost destroyed by the thousand-jin gate. It turned out that the Golden Rat Demon had a red fire pill with boundless magic power, which made it difficult for Wukong and Bajie to deal with. Wukong had no choice but to ask for help from Guanyin of the South China Sea and got a treasure bottle. At the critical moment when the Golden Rat Demon ordered to cook and eat Tang Sanzang and Bajie, Wukong turned into a bee and went into the cave for the second time to save his master. Tang Sanzang and Bajie had no hope of survival, and the Golden Rat Demon was very proud. Sun Wukong showed his true form and accused the Golden Rat Demon of forcing Tang Sanzang to marry him, which had violated the heavenly law. He persuaded the Golden Rat Demon to change his mind and release his master.

The Golden Rat Demon relied on the Red Fire Pill to defeat Wukong again. Wukong was enraged and started killing again. He waved the golden hoop and swept through the monsters. Sha Seng and Bajie took the opportunity to save Tang Sanzang. The Golden Rat Demon knew that it was difficult to win with swords and weapons, so he once again offered the Red Fire Pill. In an instant, the whole cave was on fire and smoke was everywhere. When Bajie saw the fire, he pulled Sha Seng and ran away. Wukong offered the Guanyin treasure bottle in the fire, and the treasure bottle poured down from the air to release the huge waves of the East China Sea, which immediately extinguished the demon fire and drowned the monsters.

The Golden Rat Demon threw out two embroidered shoes and turned into his own image. The three golden rat monsters fought against Wukong, Bajie and Sha Seng, but were eventually suppressed by weapons. The golden rat monsters knelt down and begged for mercy, but Wukong swung his stick and beat them down. Guanyin came and asked Wukong to show mercy and hand over the golden rat monsters to her to be taken back to heaven for punishment. Wukong obeyed. Guanyin took the boy and the dragon girl to capture the golden rat monsters and returned to the South China Sea. Tang Monk and his three disciples once again embarked on the long journey to the West to obtain scriptures.
