This character overhears a woodcutter reciting a poem called the Mantingfang, ultimately leading him to his first teacher. An object associated with this character is said to have originally contained nine orifices and eight holes, before transforming after a wind blew on it. This character correctly deduces that being hit three times on the back of the head by his teacher was an instruction to meet him during the third watch of the night. This character jumps through a (*) waterfall to discover the Water Curtain Cave behind it during his time on the Flower-Fruit Mountain. An object used by Yu the Great to measure flood water depth is gifted by the Dragon King of the East Sea to this character, becoming his weapon, the Ruyi Jingu Bang. For 10 points, Tang Sanzang is accompanied by what monkey born from a stone egg in Journey to the West? ■END■
