After the two of them fought for a few rounds, the demon king could no longer withstand the Monkey King and fled instead back into the city on the way he came. Hurling himself into the two rows of civil and military oficials before the white jade steps, the demon king gave his body a shake and changed into an exact image of Tripitaka Tang, both of them standing hand-in-hand before the steps. The Great Sage arrived and was about to strike with the rod when the fiend said, "Disciple, don't hit me! It's I!" Pilgrim turned the rod toward the other Tang Monk who also said, "Disciple, don't hit me! It's I!" There were two Tang Monks exactly alike and most difficult to distin-guish. Thinking to himself, "If I kill the monster spirit with one blow of the rod, it would be my merit, all right; but what would I do if that blow happens to kill my true master?" Pilgrim had to stop and ask Eight Rules and Sha Monk, "Which is the fiend and which is our master? Point him out to me so that I can strike at him." "You two were yelling and fighting in mid-air," said Bight Rules, "and when I blinked my eyes, I saw two masters the next moment. I don't know who is real and who is false."
