This story is a complex blend of mythology and themes from both Journey to the West and the game *Black Myth: Wukong*. It involves Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, and Tang Monk encountering a powerful demon, Yellow Wind Sage, who originally served Buddha but gained magical powers through trickery. The narrative highlights a battle against the demon and introduces deeper lore about Yellow Wind Ridge, once a prosperous land where Buddhism flourished but was later cursed after the king turned against it.
In the game, the Yellow Wind Sage is portrayed as a rat instead of a marten, and the land of Sahali becomes plagued by strange transformations, with citizens turning into rats and a destructive beetle terrorizing the area. The story delves into the concept of suffering imposed by divine beings, questioning the morality of gods like Bodhisattva Lingji, who seem to cause suffering in order to be worshipped.
A parallel tale unfolds involving two tiger demons, descendants of a character from *Journey to the West*, and their tragic association with the Yellow Wind Sage. The chapter concludes with a fable about a man who saves a fox, only to be haunted by a nightmare in which the fox harms his children, leading him to kill the fox in real life. The fable underscores the theme of moral ambiguity, suggesting that good and evil are not easily defined by origin or appearance.
