Resume:

Prince Nezha relates the background: “Some years ago the Heavenly King and the prince gave amnesty to the Golden-nosed White-haired Mouse Spirit, who had been sentenced to death. The spirit showed her gratitude by setting up worshipping tablets of long life for the Heavenly King.” The heavenly king orders prince Nezha to bring with him the God of Public Order and the monster-revealing mirror. He also asks the Golden Cat Commander to go with Monkey to the lower world to suppress the devil. After the Tang Priest has been saved, they travel towards the west, and come to Dharmadestructia. Before they arrive, the Bodhisattva of the Southern Ocean tells them that the king of this country, because of some monks’ offence towards his court in the past, has sworn to kill ten thousand monks. During the past years he has managed to kill nine thousand nine hundred and ninety six monks. The pilgrim priest and his disciples disguise themselves as travelling merchants and lodge at the Horse House Inn.
