JOURNEY TO THE WEST Episode 35
Humans have their share of troubles.
But this monkey have more ears than others
No wonder he could confuse others.
And also mimic others.
Demon, you hurt Master and smear my good name
I'm not going to let you off.
Stop.
Mercy... Monkey you are too vicious.
Buddha, you shouldn't pity him.
This demon hurt my Master and stole my luggage.
He deserve to die for all these crimes.
Wh... where did his body go? Strange.
Six ears are the same as six roots of sensation.
They are eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body and mind.
According to the Heart Sutra
the heart is the eyes ears nose, tongue, body and mind.
This monkey has more than six roots
therefore, he has an extra heart.
The extra 'heart' was killed by you
and naturally there's only 1 heart left.
There's nothing left.
Wukong...
Don't think too much.
Don't mind it too much.
Monkey, now that the truth is known.
Go and protect Tang monk
and escort him here for the Sutras.
Wait... Buddha,
listen to me first.
Tang monk chased me out,
if I return...
it will be a waste of my effort.
Buddha, please be merciful and
remove my head ring so that I could return it to you.
So that I could return to my mountain
and I promise to behave myself.
If those deities don't bother me,
I won't create trouble in Heaven.
Wukong stop all those silly thoughts.
What silly thoughts? He chased me away first.
Buddha...
it's alright if you don't want to remove it.
I won't leave this place.
Monkey, don't try to be difficult.
I will ask Guan Yin Bodhisattva to send you there.
Don't worry he won't accept you.
Protect him well till he reach here.
When you succeed, you will be able to sit on the lotus seat.
Its too difficult.
Wukong, don't be rude.
Without hardship you won't taste the sweetness of success.
Hurry and come with me.
Let's go!
Master...
Master, you are so sick that I'm helpless.
If I went to look for Bodhisattva now and
you met demons, it will do you more harm.
It will be good if Big or Second senior is here.
Wujing, its normal for a human to go through
Birth, Old Sickness Death.
I'm just a human, that's why I'm sick.
Master, you knew that those bandits deserve it.
Why did you chase Big senior away?
Its easy to kill but difficult to save a life.
I wanted to teach Wukong about compassion.
Oh, I understand now.
You wanted to teach Big senior.
If we kill all the evil doers, Hell will never be empty.
Yes. Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva once said,
if Hell is not empty, he will never become a Buddha.
That's a great heart.
That's great compassion.
Wujing that's good.
You are getting smarter.
It's all because of Master's teachings.
Master!
Master...
Master!
How dare you return!
Master is dying because of you.
Junior I'm here to give Master some medicine.
What medicine? Don't get near Master.
This... this is from Guan Yin Bodhisattva.
Guan Yin Bodhisattva?
Hurry.
Master...
Master here...
Master...
You're awake, Master!
How come it's you?
I'm not alone. Guan Yin Bodhisattva is also here.
Master be careful...
My respect to Guan Yin Bodhisattva.
The one who hit you are the fake Sun, Six-ear Macaque.
Buddha has identified him and he's eliminated by Wukong.
You need to take Wukong back
and let him help you along this journey.
So that you could reach your destination
and obtain the Sutras.
Please don't blame him anymore.
Your disciple will follow your order.
Bodhisattva, I don't understand something.
What is it?
How come only Buddha recognize that demon?
Bodhisattva, you are also powerful, why can't you see that?
Bodhisattva means compassion.
Bodhisattva could sense feelings.
That's why we cannot be like Buddha.
What is that?
He has a pure heart.
Only a pure heart could see the truth.
Actually, its Wukong, you who saw the truth.
Junior do you understand?
Senior, I don't understand how you could kill
the Six-ear Macaque in front of all the Bodhisattvas?
Buddhist teaches us not to kill.
Why didn't they stop you?
Because we can't stop him.
Could it be there's no fake Wukong?
There is no fake Wukong. Only real Wukong.
And there's a nameless fire.
Wukong started this fire and it went out of control.
You allowed this fire to become nameless heart.
Which led to this fake Wukong form.
I understand now Master.
When I saw that you were tied up and covered with blood,
I'm too angry.
It's in the past.
Master...
It's in the past.
Wukong, don't say it anymore.
As long as you understand.
I'll be going now.
Wukong, come...
Wukong...
Thank you, Bodhisattva.
Master, where's Bajie?
This is good... Give me more...
Pour some more...
Good... wine...
You... are enjoying yourself here while Master is sick.
Brother Monkey, you should know me.
I'm too soft-hearted.
Since I came here and saw a young and old monkey.
I told them that I came for the luggage.
They told me to eat and drink before...
we talk about it, right?
So... that's why you cannot stop eating and drinking? we talk about it, right?
So... that's why you cannot stop eating and drinking?
Till now, you have not 'talked' to them yet?
Brother monkey, watch your quick temper.
Its not good for you... who's that?
Wukong, why can't people tell the real and fake apart?
In this world, lots of people cannot tell
the fake from the truth.
They refuse to believe every day's good advises
but believe words of anger.
They think that's the truth.
Isn't that amusing?
How could that be real?
But we often view that as the truth.
Master, I'm just a monkey.
Most of the time, I'm confused.
I'm also a human, who will be confused.
If not, I'll become a Bodhisattva.
You're right.
But, Wukong...
I still have to praise you.
When people need to face their alter heart,
they will normally lose.
But you could remove that fake heart
and protect your true heart.
You may be a wild monkey,
but you're better than most people.
Master...
Look at him, he's getting shy.
His face is getting as red as his buttocks.
How dare you make fun of me.
Second sect brother, why aren't you talking today?
I can't butt in.
You don't understand what we are saying, right?
Me? I'm afraid that you are a fake!
The real monkey will only make Master angry.
You won't make Master happy.
Junior Sha, don't you think so too?
Master, you should listen to me.
Pay more attention to this monkey.
I wonder what he's plotting.
Get away! You fool!
I know what he's thinking.
He wanted to protect me to the West.
Elder sect brother only changed a little.
He's still the real deal.
You should change too.
You should aim to be better.
Junior Sha,
when did you become smarter?
Now, I know that Truth and Fake co-exist
in this world and it's hard to tell them apart.
But the fake can never become the truth
and the truth will always be true.
That's the right WAY.
Strange, it's already autumn.
After a few short showers of rain, it should start snowing.
But why is it still so hot?
Yes, this weather is really hot.
Master, I heard that along this journey...
we will pass a country known as Si Country (Xinjiang)
Its where the sun sets and known as the end of the sky.
Its well known for its hot weather, we must be here.
Don't listen to him, we are still far away from Si Country.
You are the one who's talking nonsense.
If not, why is it so hot?
Why didn't Heaven do their job?
Brother monkey, is this the work of demon?
Wukong, there's a camel group in front.
Please ask them why is the weather so hot?
We could also take a break.
Yes, Master.
Hey, uncle... wait.
Who's that?
Wait...
Where did such a demon come from?!
Don't be afraid.
I'm not a demon...
Sorry for the mistake, my eyesight is failing me.
Where are you going to?
We are on our way to the west and
wonder why is this place so hot?
We don't know the name of this place
and the reason for the hot weather.
Come to my place for a rest and drink.
Good... thank you...
Let's go, Master...
Master, let us go...
Bajie, hurry...
This place is known as the Flame Mountain.
We don't have 4 seasons, and its hot all year round.
Here... drink some water...
That mountain is 60 miles from here.
And it's along your route to the West.
It stretches for 800 miles.
If you want to cross this mountain, you will melt.
Then...
Fool, what do you want to say?
What?
Its good to listen to advises.
Come, here's some cold cakes.
She's my wife. Come, try these.
Try these cakes.
Great, there's food.
Fool! Master hasn't eaten yet.
Master, here.
Please... You eat first...
I'll eat first then.
Let me ask you...
if its hot around here, how could you
grow grains to make this cake?
We need to beg Iron Fan Deity for the grains.
Iron Fan Deity?
She has a magical Banana Fan.
First use remove the fire.
Second use create wind.
Third use create rain.
We plan our time to sow the seeds and harvest.
That's how we got the grains.
If not, how could we stay here?
This Iron Fan Deity is powerful and good.
Why didn't you ask her to remove the fire for good?
Its not easy to ask her to come.
That's hard to say.
Without any gifts, she won't come.
If she remove the fire for good, how could she Benefit?
Then what kind of gifts does she want?
We will go in every 10 years.
We need 4 pigs, 3 goats, flowers and fruits.
And with great respects, we will beg her to come.
To go there and back, we need 1 month.
Its hard work.
This deity is bad.
She is torturing them with her fan.
Please don't say that. If she heard you, there will be trouble.
If she refuse to help us, we will all die.
Tell me, what is the name of this mountain?
How far is this mountain?
I will go and borrow the fan.
Its known as Cloud Mountain, located in the south.
Its about 1400 miles from here.
How could you reach there?
I will be back before you digest these cakes.
Brother... brother.
De... demon!
I'm not a demon, I need to ask a question.
Where are you going?
Is this Cloud Mountain?
Is there a Banana cave and Iron Fan Deity?
There's a Banana cave but no deity.
There's a Princess Iron Fan, Rakshasi.
Does she have a magical Banana fan which could remove
the flame of the Flame mountain?
Yes, she does have that treasure.
She uses that to protect some people,
who call her Iron Fan Deity.
We don't need her help and only know her as Rakshasi.
And she is the wife of Bull Demon King.
What... Wife of Bull Demon King?
Yes.
Great, she is a relative.
...and also a foe.
Are you her relative or enemy?
It's nothing...
Brother, how do I get to the Banana cave?
Just over that mountain.
Thanks.
Stop, who are you?
My respects to you.
What demon are you? Go away.
You little lass, you didn't know better.
I'm the guest of your master.
Announce my arrival quickly, to avoid punishment.
What is your name? So that I could report.
Just say that I'm an old friend, Sun Wukong.
Sun Wukong?
Please wait here.
I wonder if she is a reasonable person.
It could be great trouble.
Princess...
Princess, you have a guest.
My cave is almost filled with spiderweb.
Is he here to beg?
He claimed to be your guest.
Guest? What's his name?
Sun Wukong.
Sun Wukong?!
What does he look like?
It's a monkey.
Monkey?!
Great, ask everyone to go to the door.
Yes.
So, you're Sun Wukong?
You must be Princess Iron Fan.
Sister-in-law.
Who's your sister-in-law!
Bull Demon King is my sworn brother.
You are his wife, so you are my sister-in-law.
Since you are brothers, why did you harm my son?
Who's your son?
He's the Red Child.
I'm looking for you for revenge...
but you are here yourself.
How could I spare you!
Sister-in-law, you didn't know the truth.
How could you say that?
Your son caught my Master and wanted to kill him.
Bodhisattva subdued him and saved my Master.
Now, he's training under Bodhisattva.
You should thank me instead of blaming me.
Although he's not hurt, but I can't see him.
When can i be reunited with him?
How difficult is it for you to see him?
Lent me the fan to remove the fire and send my Master over.
I will go to the southern sea and
ask your son to come.
If he's hurt, you could come after me.
If he's better than before, you have to thank me.
You monkey are talking crap.
If you could bear the pain, i will lend you the fan.
If not, you will die.
But, please do lend me the fan.
Watch me!
Sister-in-law, make a few more cuts if you aren't happy.
Looks like you're already tired.
Lend me your fan.
Forget it!
Sister-in-law, how could you go back on your words?
That's my treasure, I won't lend you that.
Sister-in-law, you are a woman.
And I cannot communicate to you.
Is Brother Bull inside?
Its my treasure, I'll decide whether I should lend it to you.
Why mention him?
If you don't go, i won't spare you.
I didn't kick a fuss because of Brother Bull.
If you mention him again...
Sister-in-law, lend me your fan quickly...
or else I'm not going away.
Dream on!
I will send you to Hell.
Congrats Princess, for taking your revenge.
That's right, your fan will send that monkey far away.
He may not be able to come back again.
Oh, Princess...
Shall we inform Great King about this?
Tell him?!
It's been two years...
since he come here for a visit.
We will be asking for humiliation if we go to him.
Princess, I think Great King do want to come back.
The Fox vixen must be stopping him.
It will not do you any good by fighting with Great King.
Only the Fox vixen will gain from this.
You want me to look for him?
If he knew about today's incident,
he may blame you for not informing him.
He's still your husband, isn't he?
Or else, break up with him and
he will have nothing to do with you in future.
That's right. Unless Princess don't want him anymore.
If not, you shouldn't keep him in the dark.
Why is this wind so strong?
I cannot stop.
Oh no... the day is already turning dark.
How far away is this?
Stop it, where are you from?
Are you looking for death?
Servants are a true reflection of the Master,
you sound so nasty.
Let that Bull know that I'm waiting for him.
Who are you to see our Great King?
Get lost quickly.
Or... that Bull is not inside
and there's someone else inside?
Did that Fox vixen fall out of favor?
Who is talking rot here?
Why do I smile something so smelling today?
I almost fainted from that smell.
I hate the smell of fox...
but since I'm here today
I want to take a look inside before leaving.
This is my place.
No one can enter without my permission!
I will send anyone who blocks me to her death.
My beauty, pour me some wine.
Pour the wine... good wine...
Long time no see.
Wife?
Why are you here?
You seems to be so happy here,
I shouldn't have disturbed you.
But today, I'm bullied by someone.
If I didn't let you know, you may be ridiculed in future.
Bully? Who is it?
Who dares to bully you? I will fight it out with him!
Sun Wukong, your sworn brother from 500 years ago.
Him?!
He did harm to our Red child...
and he was taken by Guan Yin.
He was all alone in the Southern Sea.
My poor child...
Although this child is powerful,
but he's still too young.
I shouldn't send him to govern a mountain.
Now, he's with Guan Yin and we are from different realm.
We cannot be with him anymore.
My poor son...
The incident about Red child is Old News.
All demons in this world knew about it.
Must you come here to cry about it?
Outsiders need not interfere with our family affair.
Yes, you need to prepare yourself to write a poem.
I shall listen for your real purpose here.
That's right. You are bullied today by Sun Wukong?
It's still that Sun Wukong.
He came to borrow my fan.
I am no match to him.
After a few rounds of fighting him, I'm aching...
and almost lose my life.
That Sun Wukong!
He should give me some face...
and consider our friendship 500 years ago.
In the past, when we fight hand-in-hand.
I lost a lot of bull demons.
What did that monkey want?
Is Tripitaka coming to stay in your Banana cave?
Yes, my wife...
she is right.
What does he want?
He wanted to borrow the Banana fan.
I'm just a woman and there's no one at home for me.
He even came to humiliate me...
he claimed that he don't want to talk to me.
And he wanted to talk to you.
That treasure is mine...
I should decide whether I want to lend it.
Its sad that I don't have someone to help me.
Am I your wife?
My wife, please don't cry.
Listen to me... my wife.
My wife... this...
It seems that Sun Wukong is powerful...
how did sister escape unscathed?
Did you gave him the fan...
before he spared you?
Yes, just lend him the fan for a while.
I used the fan at him.
That's it. I wonder where is he now.
Will he come and seek you again?
I think sister used that as an excuse
to see Great King.
Your aim is to let Great King return to you.
You home wreaker vixen.
Don't fight!
You shameless fox vixen...
stop fighting.
She claims to be weak but now she could beat me.
She's too much to bully me at my home... Great King.
My wife, why did you do that?
It will not benefit you.
Great King, I know that you are feeling bad.
I don't want to be an unreasonable woman.
Great King, please go to the one you love.
I had you the last 2 years, you must be sick of me now.
Why did I love you and threw myself at you?
Great King, just do whatever you want.
My beauty, did I say I'm going away?
Please don't be upset and sad.
Bull Demon King... are you confused?
Why can't you see the truth?
This woman is being scheming.
And you allowed yourself to be fooled by her...
you are really stupid.
Great King, is she always like that?
Is that right?
Am I wrong to see you as my supreme?
Iron Fan, that monkey is not giving me face by bullying you.
But you are worse by beating my mistress in front of me!
On account of our relationship...
just go away yourself.
Nothing could change a turn of heart.
I used to consider our common link, Red Child.
But now, even that is gone.
From now on... we should break up.
Iron Fan, remember this...
I initiated this breakup.
Remember this... I dumped you.
Don't talk rot... I warn you.
This woman... she send me so far with that fan.
Its a really good fan.
Its good wind.
I was trapped for a night.
What place is this?
It looks familiar.
Where did you came from?
What? I'm Sun Wukong.
Let me ask you...
is this XuMi Mountain... Spiritual Bodhisattva's place?
Since you knew, how dare you create trouble here?
Just report that Sun Wukong is here.
You... Sun... Sun Wukong.
Forget it, I'll go myself.
You!
Grand Master.
The monkey who created trouble in Heaven is here.
Great Sage, are you drunk?
Or are you lost?
Why are you here instead of going to the west?
I don't have any Sutras for you.
That's not it.
I'm just sick of walking and came for some tea.
I don't have any tea to serve you.
Go elsewhere for that.
Old fellow, I'm just joking with you.
Don't take me so seriously.
Actually... I'm swept here by a wind.
That's easy, I'll send you back with a wind too.
That's not the point... that wind is powerful.
That fan was a treasure created since the creation of earth.
It could control the fire.
If its used on a human, you will travel 84,000 miles.
The distance between my mountain
and Flame mountain is about 50,000 miles.
You are here because you have the ability to ride clouds.
If its someone else... he may still be in the air.
Great... that fan is really powerful.
The Flame mountain is a hurdle
you must cross to get to the west.
Wukong...
You still have to borrow that fan.
But... Bodhisattva.
I can't do it.
Don't worry, you are fated to be here.
Please enlighten me, Bodhisattva.
I was given this Wind-Breaker pill by Buddha.
I will give this to you.
That woman cannot fan you away.
Ask for that fan and remove the fire.
And you could be on your way.
Thank you Bodhisattva.
Give me that, quickly.
Princess, you shouldn't said those words
if you still love Great King.
He will never change his mind now.
It seems that I shouldn't advise you to see Great King.
Its good too... to settle the matter.
Princess, don't be too rash.
You were a couple for 300 years.
He's with that Fox for only 2 years.
She is still fresh to him.
He may be sick of her soon and wanted to return to you.
Are you going to shut your door on him?
Stop it... don't talk about that bull again.
I'm getting a headache!
Princess... oh no!
That Monkey Sun is here again for the fan.
He's here again?!
Sister-in-law, my respects to you.
You are here to bother me again?
Aren't you scared?
Sister-in-law, don't be so stingy.
Just lend me the fan...
I will return after I'm done.
I will deliver my promise.
Don't worry.
Let me send you to Hell and lend you that fan.
Don't waste your effort.
You know my powers.
Just let me have the fan.
Forget it!
Transform!
Please don't fan me... I'm scared!
It's too late!
Fan... fan it...
