The next morning, before daybreak, White Bone Demon said goodbye to Chang'e and Zhaojun, and then asked Wukong to send her out. Wukong first came out of the space ring. Seeing that Tang Sanzang and the others were still not up, he let White Bone Demon out and said goodbye to White Bone Demon. White Bone Demon then left and hid in a place not far away.
Wukong waited for Xi Shi to leave before waking up Bajie, Tang Sanzang and the others. They got up and washed up, then set off on their journey west. Xi Shi only came out after seeing them leave and looked at Wukong's back in a daze. When they were far away, she flew back to her cave. The four of them traveled safely for more than a month.
On this day, the four of them came to a mountain forest. Tang Sanzang began to shout that he was hungry again and asked Wukong to go and beg for food for him. Wukong flew to a treetop and looked around. He saw a golden light not far from the south. It was a pagoda.
"Wait for me here. I found something in the south. I'll go and see what it is."”With that, he flew south.
Wukong came to the front of the pagoda and saw that the door was tightly shut. On the door were the words " Boyue Cave of Wanzi Mountain ". Wukong said,"So this mountain is called Bowl Mountain. This pagoda is actually a demon's cave abode. Wait, Bowl Mountain's Wave Moon Cave. Could it be that we've arrived at Bao Xiang Country? I remember that in the original novel, the third princess of the Treasure Elephant Kingdom, Bai Huashu, was locked up in this Bowzi Mountain Boyue Cave.
Wukong then took out some food from his interspatial ring and flew towards Tang Sanzang and the others. When they arrived at the place where Tang Sanzang and the others were, Wukong gave them the food to eat.
After they had finished eating, Wukong said," There is a city about 300 miles away from here. Let's hurry up and try to reach there before dark. Then, we can spend the night there. We can also have a good sleep."”
When they heard that there was such a good place to rest for the night, they were very happy and quickened their pace. The main reason was that they had been sleeping in the wilderness for the past few nights. When they heard that they did not have to sleep in the grass at night, they were naturally happy.
Sure enough, the four of them arrived at Bao Xiang Country before nightfall. They first found an inn to stay in and prepared to meet the king tomorrow to exchange the clearance documents. Of course, Wukong was thinking of meeting the king of Bao Xiang Kingdom tomorrow, then negotiating with the king, and then saving his third princess, Bai Huaxiu. The night passed without a word. The next morning, the four of them woke up early. After washing up, they walked together to the palace.
After many rounds of announcements, they finally entered the palace and met the king of Bao Xiang. The few of them met the king, who stamped their customs clearance documents with his jade seal and returned them to Tang Sanzang.
"Your Majesty, is it true that you have a missing daughter?"”
The King said," Yes, I have three daughters in total. Now, the eldest and second daughters are by my side. Only the third daughter has disappeared for thirteen years. Until today, there has been no news of her. Could it be that the elder has news of my daughter?”
"I'm telling the truth, but I don't know if that woman is your daughter." Why don't you show me your daughter's photo and let me see if she looks like that woman? If she does, that woman is undoubtedly your daughter.”
"A photo?" the king asked. We don't have the photos you mentioned? What was a photo? Could it be a new toy from your country? Can you show us one? It will also broaden the horizons of me and my ministers.”
Wukong didn't expect to accidentally say the word " photo ". There were no cameras in this era, so there were no photos. Hearing the King's question, he quickly said,""Oh! Your Majesty, the 'photograph' I'm talking about is a portrait, and 'photograph' is the new name for a portrait. This portrait was the artist's portrait of a certain segment of people's lives, so it was called a photo.”
The Elephant King said,"As expected of a superior kingdom in the Celestial Dynasty. The way they call the portrait is different from us, the people who live outside of society."”
Tang Sanzang said," Your Majesty, you flatter me. Hurry up and show my disciple the portrait of the princess. Let's see if the woman he's talking about is the princess."”However, he was thinking in his heart, When did the Great Tang call a portrait a photograph?”
After a while, the guard came back with a portrait and handed it to the King. The King dismissed the guard and spread the portrait in front of Wukong. He did not look at it but looked at Wukong and said,""Elder, this is my third daughter. I wonder if the woman you saw is my daughter?”When Wukong saw the portrait and heard the King's words, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.
