The story of Tang Sanzang and his four disciples, who are heading west to seek enlightenment, takes them through an area called Wuyinshan. The landscape is covered in dense fog, with low visibility and the group losing their way. Upon seeing this, Sun Wukong speaks an incantation, mounts an auspicious cloud, and navigates through the fog, searching for a way out. Pigsy and Sandy, however, are trapped by dense fog, unable to move an inch. Sun Wukong, on the other hand, effortlessly moves through the mist, seeming to dance in the air, soaring high and then descending in low spirals. Finally, he finds a path to the West and leads the group safely out of danger.
