Summary

Initially skeptical, Tripitaka reluctantly accepts Pigsy as a disciple after hearing a voice claiming to be his uncle, urging him to do so. The interaction is filled with humor and tension as Tripitaka struggles with Pigsy's behavior, ultimately pretending to be a wise master while trying to assert authority over the pig demon. The chapter ends with Tripitaka declaring he will spare Pigsy's life if he agrees to follow his teachings.
