Black-Wind Mountain

Cheng’en Wu

Xuanzang and the monkey arrived at Guanyin Monastery. Elder Jinchi, the abbot of the monastery, showed his treasures to them. Ignoring Xuanzang's advice, the monkey reciprocated by showing off Xuanzang's embroidered robe, which made the abbot so jealous that he sought to burn Xuanzang to death and take the robe. After learning of Jinchi's conspiracy, the monkey secretly protected Xuanzang and diverted the fire to other rooms. Black-Wind Monster was disturbed by the fire and took advantage of the chance to steal the robe. When the monkey discovered that the robe was lost the next day, he rushed to Black-Wind Mountain to get it back. The monkey transformed himself to look like Jinchi but the monster saw through the illusion, leading the two into a big fight. Finding the monster difficult to defeat, the monkey turned to Guanyin for help. After instructing the monkey to turn himself into an elixir, Guanyin coaxed the monster to eat it. The monkey entered the monster's stomach and tortured him until he handed over the robe. Guanyin subdued the monster and made him the guard deity of her mountain.
