Monk Tang is learning Buddhist scriptures from the West. His eldest disciple Sun Wukong fights against the King of Nanshan in Hidden Mist Mountain. Zhu Bajie asks Sun Dasheng for help. Sun Wukong pulls out a handful of monkey hairs from his body and transforms into his own appearance. Each one wields a stick, making it difficult for the enemy to tell the real from the fake. After the victory, Sun Wukong took back the monkey hair, but there was one monkey hair that he never took back. This monkey hair was left in the world, causing both misfortune and blessing, and became the great thief throughout the prosperous Tang Dynasty.
