The Imposter Buddha

Xuanzang was caught by the Yellow Brows Demon who impersonated the Buddha. The monkey was trapped inside the demon's golden cymbals. The monkey asked the deities to open the golden cymbals from the outside but to no avail. Only by letting the monkey drill into his horn after wedging it in between the cymbals did the Dragon Star save the monkey. The demon woke up and captured everyone with his cummerbund. The monkey escaped alone and invited various divine forces to help him apprehend the demon, but the demon used the cummerbund to trap all the reinforcements. The monkey was depressed. Maitreya came and asked the monkey to lure the demon out and turn into a big watermelon. The demon was duped into eating it and Maitreya finally subdued him and rescued the deities. The demon turned out to be Maitreya's escaped servant. They went back to the Land of Ultimate Bliss on the Western Continent and the pilgrims continued their journey.
