Golden Horn and Silver Horn took advantage of Taishang Laojun’s absence to carry off from the Tushita Palace the purple-gold red gourd, the suet-jade vase, the golden cord, the seven-star sword and a plantain fan, and set themselves up in the Lotus Cave on Mount Pingding.
The two demons called men by name and took them into the gourd and the vase, bound them with the golden cord, and fought with the sword and the fan. Sun Wukong changed shape and swapped treasures again and again until he had tricked away all five, and Laojun came down afterwards to take his boys back.
