―――――――A red apricot branch protruding over the wall

The two little demons who had captured Sun Wukong from below the mountain and brought him back told the demons of Lianhuadong about how they had been tricked by Sun Wukong, who had transformed into an old Daoist, losing their Red Gourd and Jade Pure Bottle, and begged the Great Demon and the Second Demon to spare their lives.

The Great Demon heard that the Trembling Mountain Treasure had been taken by Sun Wukong, who had turned into an old swindler, and flew into a rage, shouting wah-wah. The Second Demon said, 'It's fine, Great King, rest assured; I'll make Sun Wukong take the Trembling Mountain Treasure however I want, and have him bring it back exactly as it is.' The little demons in the cave laughed, saying, 'Second Demon, don't boast—bluster doesn't blow cowhide, Mount Tai isn't piled up, and a train isn't pushed. How capable Sun Wukong is, how capable you, Second Demon, are—everyone knows this.' The Second Demon said, 'If I can't catch that Sun Wukong, I won't roam the martial world anymore, nor cause trouble on the western journey; from now on, you guys shouldn't call me buddy.'

The Second Demon, habitually fond of boasting, could blow sesame seeds into watermelons. This is common knowledge among the demons and monsters in the cave.

The Great Demon said, 'Buddy, what ability do you have to seize the monkey demon? If you really can seize the monkey demon, I will defer to you, let you take the chief seat on this mountain, and be the chief.'

Upon hearing the Great Demon want him to take the chief seat and be the chief, the Second Demon was overjoyed, beside himself, waving his hands and kicking his feet. This demon is unlike humans. He loves to show off, his greed for wealth and profit is too strong; even as second-in-command he is not satisfied, and must scheme, exhaust his mind and brains to become chief.

The Second Demon, beside himself, said, 'That monkey demon tricked away the Trembling Mountain Treasure's Red Gourd and Jade Pure Bottle; I will use the Banana Fan, Seven Star Sword, and Shaking Gold Rope to capture that monkey demon.'

The demons said, 'The Second Demon really has some skill. Could we ask the Second Demon to tell us how powerful the Banana Fan, Seven Star Sword, and Shaking Gold Rope are?'

'You ignorant frogs in a well, today I will expound the power of these three treasures—the Banana Fan, Seven Star Sword, and Shaking Gold Rope—enough to make your eyes cross.' The Second Demon boasted.

'Second Demon, stop boasting; if you manage to make the monsters in our cave cross-eyed, we'll hold you to account. Quickly tell us the power of those three.'

Seeing the mountain demons value him so highly, the Second Demon was delighted, as if sitting on clouds, and became utterly carried away. Demons and monsters are unlike humans; people, to some extent, can restrain themselves, but demons and monsters, for their own benefit, will stop at nothing to harm others, even eating human flesh and drinking human blood. Enough idle talk—let's listen to the Second Demon.

The Second Demon said, 'Fine, since you want to hear, I'll briefly describe the power of those three treasures. The Banana Fan has yin and yang functions: one side fans wind, the other side fans fire. The wind side can blow sand and move stones, overturn rivers and seas; the fire side can make the earth emit smoke, set stones ablaze—the Flaming Mountains on the western journey are my Banana Fan.'

'Wow, that's powerful! Please, Second Demon, tell us about the power of the other two treasures.' The demons shouted in unison.

'The Seven Star Sword cuts iron like mud; whoever touches it dies, whoever contacts it perishes.' The Second Demon boasted.

'What about the Shaking Gold Rope?' the demons asked.

"That Shaking Gold Rope………..
