Guanyin Bodhisattva and the others were run ragged by Tang Sanzang's tricks, and they were furious. But since Tang Sanzang was the chosen one to retrieve the scriptures, they could only fume, having no better recourse. They still wanted to use their Buddhist status to make Tang Sanzang listen obediently. However, for some unknown reason, Tang Sanzang, who had previously been utterly respectful and compliant, now treated them with a duplicitous attitude—agreeable to their faces, but disrespectful behind their backs. He would make a show of agreeing to everything in person but would only follow through depending on his mood. Sun Wukong also cooperated with Tang Sanzang, spinning Guanyin Bodhisattva and the others until their heads whirled.
