told him to go to the mines and dig for diamonds.He gave Xuanzang a map,so he can find his
way.
A few days later,Xuanzang started his journey.At first,he met a strange group of characters. There was a
monkey king named Sun Wukong,a friar named Sha Wujing and a talking pig called Zhu Bajie.They
became friends and happily travelled together as a team .But then,an evil monster attacked
them.Luckily,they tricked the monster and it ran away.They survived and continued travelling .Within a
few minutes,they looked up the sky and saw fireballs darting right and left.They were worried and they
needed to find a safe place to hide.
The next day,they arrived at the mines safely.They collected a lot of diamonds.On their way out,the
entrance of the mines was blocked.They were horrified to see that they were surrounded by monsters.They
were trapped and couldn’t get out.There was only one way to escape.They got out their swords and fought
the monsters and won.They were proud of themselves and continued their way.On the way back to the
palace,they found out that Sun Wukong was missing.They searched everywhere but couldn’t find
him.Suddenly,a ghostly monkey king came out from the bushes.It used its powerful sword to fight
everyone .It was incredibly strong,so Xuanzang and the others ran away in fear.Later,they returned to this
place and saw ghosts controlling Sun Wukong.They immediately fought the ghost ,and after that,the ghost
vanished,the monkey king vanished,too.After that,they went back to the palace and explained everything to
the emperor.Sadly,he didn’t believe them,so he told them to find wukong.After a few hours,they found the
ghost.But this time,it brought zombies,witches,vampires and the powerful monkey to life.Xuanzang knew
to that they couldn’t beat them,but they tried their best.Luckily,they all prepared powerful weapons and
armor.They brought a dragon,too.The winner of the battle could take Wukong back.Xuanzang and the
others fought everyone,except for the ghost and ghost Wukong.They were undefeatable.But then,Xuanzang
had a plan Wukong back.It was their only way.

hypnotised him.When he woke up,he wasn’t a ghost anymore.At night,when the ghost woke up,they
started the battle again.But without Wukong,the ghost lost and was defeated by Xuanzang’s team.They were
overjoyed that Wukong was back.On the way home,they found out that their bag filled with diamonds was
torn.They became worried because they were lost and their map had disappeared.It was very dark,so they
didn’t know which way to go.Luckily,they saw a hiker pass by and asked him the way to the palace.The
hiker answered them and then went on his way.At last,they explained to the emperor that they didn’t find
any diamonds.The emperor told them that he saw them battle.Finally,the emperor rewarded them and said
