Xuanzang and his disciples encountered Guanyin waiting to remind them to be careful in the nearby kingdom. Its king was hunting for four monks to complete his goal of killing ten thousand. The monkey stole clothes from some locals to conceal their identities as Buddhist monks. They entered the city and decided to sleep in a big trunk in a hostel to make sure no one could discover they were Buddhists while they slept. While in the trunk, the monkey baited hostel attendants by boasting that they were carrying a lot of silver. Local bandits got the word and stole the trunk containing the group in the middle of the night. However, soldiers noticed the burglars and fought to get the trunk back and presented it to the king. The monkey snuck out and shaved everyone in the royal palace bald with razors. The king was shocked the next day and realized that he had made many mistakes. When the group exited the trunk, the king decided to honor Buddhism and let the pilgrims leave safely.

In Gaolaozhuang Village, Mr. Gao wanted to find a son-in-law for his youngest daughter but ended up with a pig demon. Many were invited to subdue the demon but all failed. When Xuanzang and the monkey heard that there was a demon in the house on their way to the west, the monkey volunteered to help. The monkey met the pig demon and fought him out of his cave. When the pig demon realized that Xuanzang and the monkey were on a scripture pilgrimage, he immediately revealed to the monkey that he had been waiting for them after receiving instructions from Guanyin. The skeptical monkey demanded the pig demon burn his cave and took him to meet Xuanzang. Xuanzang untied the pig demon and took him as his second disciple. It turned out that the pig demon had been a heavenly marshal but was banished to the earthly world for his misbehavior and was given the religious name "Wuneng" by Guanyin. He was also called "Pigsy."

What could be better than selling lemonade to stave off the summer doldrums? Try swashbuckling adventure on the high seas!  
Captain Gabriel has done both before, the lemonade and the adventures, so he's pretty good at it despite the fact that he still has no idea what a swash even is, nor how one would buckle it. Never mind that -- he's setting sail with his quirky crew to embrace the unknown, including a magical unicorn and her warrior-girl companion, a harrowing side quest in search of the elusive "macguffin flower," and a crow-girl haunted by a curse. 
Do Cap and the crew of the Dawn Horizon have what it takes to break the Curse of the Crow? ("Of curse!" promises Elliot, the ship's cook and official crafter of groan-worthy puns.) But the real question is, do you have what it takes to join them?
