Just as they were considering how to respond, Tang Sanzang spoke up again, "What are you all doing? Hurry over here!"
Having no other choice, everyone reluctantly went over.
Upon entering, they discovered that Tang Sanzang had donned a hat, but it looked somewhat odd due to his lack of hair.
Tang Sanzang said, "My disciples, how do you think my hat could be altered to look nicer?"
…
As seconds turned into minutes, it finally grew dark outside, and the cries of the attendants came from outside, inviting Tang Sanzang to the banquet.
The group panicked but felt helpless.
So, a bunch of them gritted their teeth and followed Tang Sanzang to the banquet.
Just as Sun Wukong was thinking about creating a diversion, suddenly someone shouted, "Fire, fire! Quick, put it out!"
Then chaos ensued at the scene!
Upon reaching the entrance, Tang Sanzang and his companions were immediately stopped, and a waiter apologized, "Honorable monk, due to the fire, the banquet has been canceled."
