The Burning Mountain
Regents Primary School of Shenzhen , Chen , Hanmin - 9

The four went on for a few months . It was the beginning of Autumn , but for some reasons , it was getting hotter and hotter . Zhubajie said , " It is so hot that I am almost roasted to become a grilled pig ." Then Sun Wukong asked a passer-by why it was so hot . The passer-by said , “ It was five hundred years ago when Sun Wukong kicked down a deity ' s furnace and a flaming piece fell on the mountain which has been burning ever since .”

Sun Wukong didn ’ t know how to put out the fire . So he seek help from the local land master . The master said , " To put out the fire on the burning mountain , you must get Iron-fan Princess ’ Iron-fan and wave at the fire . If you wave one time , the fire on the burning mountain will be put out . If you wave the fan twice there would be gale force wind blowing . If you wave the fan three times , it will start raining heavily ."
Soon Sun Wukong said to Shaheshang and Zhubajie , ” Please take care of Xuenzang when I left to borrow that Iron-fan ." Then , he jumped upon the cloud and went to find the Iron-fan Princess . Immediately , he came to a cave and at the top of the cave there was a sign " Iron-fan Princess ' s Cave " There were two guards standing . Sun Wukong asked them , “ Is Iron-fan Princess available now ? I would like to see her .” One of the guards stared at him for a moment and asked , " Are you Sun Wukong ?" " Yes , I am Sun Wukong . " One of them said , " Please wait here for a while ; I will come back in a minute ." Then they went into that cave . Sun Wukong did not wait for long until the two guards came out with an angry woman . Sun Wukong walked up to the woman , giggling and made a bow , and said ," Hi , how are you , Iron-fan
Princess ? Can I borrow you Iron-fan ?"
" No ," she said with a very angry voice and out there were two swords waving at him . Sun Wukong used his gold stick and blocked her shot . The two fought for a while when the Iron-fan Princess took out a little fan from her ear . Then , the fan got bigger and bigger and bigger , until it was a giant fan . She waved it at Sun Wukong two times and blew him away .
When Sun Wukong opened his eyes , he was at Lingjipusa ' s mountain . The Lingjipusa ( a Buddha ) was right beside Sun Wukong , he said in a laughing voice , " Don ’ t worry , because I have a wind tablet , you have it in your mouth , so she cannot blow you away .”
Sun Wukong took the wind tablet and went back to the cave . The Iron-fan Princess came out of the cave and once more she took out her fan and waved at him a few times , but Sun Wukong was still standing there like a stone statue . The Iron-fan Princess thought that she had no chance to win , so she put her fan back in her ear again and ran back into her cave and locked the door very tight .
Surprisingly , Sun Wukong turned himself into a little bee and flew inside through the door gap . The Iron-fan Princess was worried and scared . She said to her servant to bring her a cup of tea . Sneakingly , Sun Wukong flew into the tea and then Iron-fan Princess drank the tea with Sun Wukong in it . When he was in her stomach he started to jump around and hit things and shouted , " Iron-fan Princess , borrow me the fan ." The Iron-fan Princess was very painful and asked “ Where are you ?" " I am in your stomach ," Sun Wukong replied . The Iron-fan Princess had so much pain so she said , " If you come out of my stomach , you can get the fan ." So Sun Wukong came out of the Iron-fan Princess ' s stomach and the Iron-fan Princess gave him the Iron Fan .
When Sun Wukong returned back to the Burning Mountain , he waved the fan at the fire but it did not help , the fire just got bigger and bigger . Then , Sun Wukong knew that the Iron-fan Princess had lied to him . Subsequently , Sun Wukong was blazing with anger . He was so furious that he wanted to teach the Iron-fan Princess a lesson . Then he suddenly thought he could go to the Bull Demon King ( husband of Iron-fan Princess ) and see if he could help him borrow the Iron-fan . Immediately he jumped on his cloud and went to find Bull Demon King .
When he found Bull Demon King he asked him if he could help him borrow the fan . When Bull Demon King saw it was Sun Wukong , the monkey that captured his son the Red Infant , he waved his axe trying to hit Sun Wukong . The two fought for a very long time when someone called in Bull Demon King for tea , the two finally stopped fighting . With help from the Goddess of Peace , Sun Wukong finally got the Ironfan , so he went back to put out the fire and the four went on their trip to the West .
