At first, the Tian Di's marshal Tian Peng was in charge of Tianhe. Later, because of drunkenness, he molested the Nishang Fairy and made a scene, which attracted the picket of Lingguan. Later, he bowed down to the bullfighting palace with his mouth, ate Ganoderma lucidum and Cao Xian, and was ordered by the Jade Emperor to go down to earth with more than 2,000 hammers. When he was born again on earth, he mistakenly cast a pig's fetus with a face similar to that of a wild boar. He once took Zhan Yundong in Fuling as a demon.

It killed the sow, the pigs, and adopted the second sister of the egg. She went to Zhanyun Cave in Fuling Mountain. Unexpectedly, a year later, the second sister of Egg died, leaving him with only one abode of fairies and immortals.

At this time, I live in Yunzhan Cave and call myself "a pig." The Tang Priest, seeking Buddhist scriptures in the West, passed by Gao Laozhuang and had a fight with the Monkey King in Zhanyun Cave. Hearing the name of Tang Priest, he went to visit. After being accepted as a second apprentice by Tang Priest, Tang Priest nicknamed him "Bajie" to prevent him from eating five meats and three evils. Bajie became the Monkey King's good helper from then on, and together they protected Tang Priest from going to the Western Heaven for Buddhist scriptures.

In the novel, Tang priest and his disciples are often in trouble because of their laziness, gluttony and lust. After retrieving the scriptures, Zhu Bajie was named the altar messenger because of his "stubborn heart and persistent color". It can change into thirty-six, fly clouds and fog, and the weapon used is nine-tooth nail palladium, also known as Baoqin Gold Palladium. In The Journey to the West, Pig Bajie, also known as Mu Mu or Mulong, often appears in books or poems.
