  The ruler of the Kingdom of Biqiu was deceived by his father-in-law into seeking an immortality elixir containing the blood of over one thousand children's hearts. When Xuanzang heard this cruel news on his journey, the kind-hearted man asked the monkey to save the children. With help from a group of deities, the monkey hid all children outside the kingdom. Then, he went to the palace with Xuanzang to investigate the situation and figured out that the royal father-in-law was a demon. After all the children in the kingdom went missing, the royal father-in-law suggested the king use the Tang monk's heart instead. Disguising himself as his master, the monkey took many hearts out of his own chest to expose the demon's lie. The monkey and Pigsy chased the demon to his den and were about to kill him when the Star of Longevity arrived and showed them the demon's true appearance, a white deer. The demon was previously the deity's mount. The children were then sent back to the kingdom. Delighted, the families expressed their gratitude to the pilgrims.
