The White Bone Demon
White Tiger Ridge is clouded and the path is narrow. The mountain wind passes, and here is an old woman with a stick, calling for her daughter. Zhu Bajie shouts first: Brother is going to strike again! Tang Seng sits his horse with palms together, eyes already red. Sun Wukong's golden eyes catch: under the skin it is still white bone. The staff is halfway up; the master's lips are moving -- the tightening spell is almost out. This blow is the third time in the original; if he lowers the staff, the demon is still there.
Strike her dead
孙悟空见那老妪骨形毕露，怒从心起，喝道：「妖孽！再敢假扮人形害我师父，我今必教你魂飞魄散！」话音未落，金箍棒已如雷霆万钧，直劈下去，那白骨夫人尖叫一声，魂魄四散，尸骨化作一堆枯骸，再无生机。唐僧见状，脸色骤变，厉声道：「悟空！你又滥杀无辜，何故为恶！」遂念紧箍咒，令孙悟空头痛欲裂。猪八戒忙上前劝解道：「师父，师兄乃为护您安危，怎能如此不明事理？」沙悟净低声附和：「师父，妖精已死，切勿误会。」唐僧却冷冷道：「悟净勿言，我自有主张。」随即转身对悟空说道：「你已不听教导，今日起，我再不收你为徒！」孙悟空闻言，愤然丢下金箍棒，跪地叩首道：「既如此，徒儿即刻告辞，今生不再相扰！」说罢腾云而去，徒留师徒三人惘然立于荒岭之中。
