thumb|250px|Baigujing Baigujing () is a demon from the 16th-century novel Journey to the West. The name is translated into English as White Bone Spirit in the William John Francis Jenner translation. Baigujing is a shapeshifting demoness, and in her true form she is depicted as a skeleton.
Baigujing was a demon who desired to eat the flesh of Tang Sanzang. It disguised itself as a village girl and offered Tang Sanzang and his disciples poisonous fruits. Due to Baigujing's strong powers, only Sun Wukong could detect that she was a demon. He hit her with his staff, seemingly killing her. Tang Sanzang is angered at Sun Wukong and performs the Band-tightening spell, but Sha Wujing placates the situation. Sun Wukong tried to explain that the 'village girl' was a demon, but they didn't believe him. Tang Sanzang believed she was an innocent and buried her. Having survived the attack, Baigujing dug underground to recover.
