JOURNEY TO THE WEST Episode 39
We are the protectors of Tang monk.
Great Sage, why did you summon us?
Are all 5 of you here?
My Master refuse to listen to me.
Serve him right if he suffers a bit.
Please save me quickly.
I'm too bored here.
- Understood. - Understood.
Great Sage, we don't know what is this treasure.
The top and bottom plate are joined together.
We cannot lift it.
Great Sage...
what do you think if we go to Heaven and ask for help?
Hurry and go...
- Yes. - Yes.
Let us go!
- Is there any one out there? - Buddha with Yellow Brows!
Let us go!
Master, why are you still chanting at this time?
If you want to chant... do it for me.
When I'm dead, I could fly to see the real Buddha.
So that I can complain to Buddha about the fake
Buddha.
Bajie, don't panic.
Bodhisattva did warn us about the danger along the journey.
All these are part of my tribulation.
Let's wait patiently.
I believe that Heaven have it's own plan.
That's right, second sect brother. Don't worry.
Our Big Senior is outside.
I'm sure he will find a way to save us.
Right, Master?
Good, Wujing.
Master, it's because you didn't listen to Big Senior...
and you got the retributions.
Second Senior, you can't say that.
How could you blame Master?
You are the one who always egged Master to defy Big Senior!
How could you complain?
Stop it, you only know how to complain about me...
but this time you are also involved.
I was just listening to you.
That's enough!
Stop arguing.
It's my fault.
It's my inability that got us into this situation.
I also caused Wukong to suffer.
Don't talk anymore.
Master...
Someone, please let us go!
Great Sage,
Jade Emperor sent some Deities to help you.
I cannot break this from inside.
Maybe you can try it from outside to let me out.
This...
This is not good...
those demons are asleep and...
we will wake them up with these knocking.
Why don't we try to pry it open?
Alright, try it.
Great Sage, we can't do it within our power.
Maybe we can use a sharp weapon...
and drill a hole to let you out.
Just use your horns to drill a hole.
Alright, we will try.
Great Sage, do come out if you can see any hole.
Hold this.
Great Sage, hurry and come out.
I can't go out...
the metal is struck to your horn and there's no gap.
What should we do?
Now, I'm struck!
Got it.
I will drill a hole in your horn and will hide inside...
and you can take me out.
Alright, we will do as you say.
Great Sage, hurry and come out!
Are you okay?
Darn this thing... I will break this!
Wh... what is this?!
Grandpa Buddha, this is your Golden plate.
Damn monkey!
How dare he break my treasure!
I will kill you!
Eh, why am I running?
I have to save Master.
What kind of demon are you?
How dare you pretend to be Buddha...
and create the phony temple!
This place is known as the Little Western Paradise.
I was granted with that temple because
I've reached enlightenment.
I'm known as Buddha with Yellow Brows.
Everyone call me Grandpa Yellow Brows.
I heard about you and...
created this phony temple to lure your Master inside.
Because I wanted to challenge you to a fight.
If you can win me, I will let all of you off.
If not, I will kill all of you and I'll go instead.
You demon, stop your crap.
Bring it on!
Great Sage, you don't have to fight with him alone.
Let us fight together and subdue him.
Demon, you can't escape.
Come!
I shall capture all of you.
Master... Junior Sha...
There's sound of fighting outside and now it's all silent.
Big Senior must have escaped and found help to save us.
Are you disappointed to see me?
Don't be too content with yourself.
Elder sect brother will come and save us.
I've got your Big Senior and some Deities...
Locked in my basement dungeon.
Why are you doing all these?
Since you are already a Buddha...
why must you devour my Master?
This Pigsy is right.
See, I knew that you don't really want to eat us.
If your Master agree to let me go to the west instead,
I will let you off.
If not...
I will devour all of you.
Guards.
Yes.
Take Tripitaka away.
Yes.
Master...
Demon, don't touch my Master.
If not, I'll not let you off.
Release him. You can go now.
Yes.
Elder monk, how do you find this meditation room?
Monks don't hanker for all these.
Just speak your mind.
My Little West Paradise is also a paradise.
You will not suffer.
Why don't you stay here as abbot for my temple?
I will go to the west instead, how's that?
That's my lifelong wish.
How could I give it up?
Really? Is that your only wish?
This is not the real West Paradise either.
Why are you here?
My signage shows it's 'Little Thunder Temple'.
I didn't lie to you.
You came in yourself.
You are right.
I made a mistake.
I always pray to any Buddha or Buddha statue.
For a moment, I forgot I shouldn't be concern with materialistic objects.
Am I praying to a block of wood or Buddha?
Or maybe it's just a demon.
That's because you are too obsessed with Buddhism.
That's why you are trapped.
You are not so smart.
Great King, it seems that you are well versed in Buddhism.
It's nothing.
But I am still better than you.
You are just human.
When can Tang people get your Sutras?
When can they learn about Buddhism and gain happiness?
Let me go instead.
It's my greatest wish to bring happiness to everyone.
I'm happy only if everyone is happy.
Tripitaka, I know this is a hard choice.
I won't force you.
Think about it.
I'll wait for you decision.
It's untied...
Thank you, Great Sage.
Get up and go...
- Brother Monkey. - Elder sect brother.
Master, don't worry.
I'm coming to save you.
Move back.
Brother Monkey...
Master...
Why are you so late!
Hurry...
Master, let's go.
Hurry...
Wait, what about the luggage?
Sage monk, you are more important.
Why don't you escape first?
Why are you worried about the luggage?
There's Buddha's gift in the luggage.
It's all treasures.
Also, our travel passes are inside.
Without that, we can't continue with the journey.
Alright, you go ahead first.
I'll grab the luggage and keep up with you.
You have to be careful.
Master, I'm used to this kind of sneaky affair.
Catch the thief. Watch the door.
Follow me.
Freeze.
What are you doing?!
Master...
Master.
Bajie, take this.
- Wukong. - Brother, did you get all the luggage?
There's no time to count.
Hurry and leave with Master.
Before the demons catch up.
Yes.
Stop!
Master...
Stop! Capture them!
Brother monkey, they are really here!
Stop your crap. Protect Master.
- I'll hold them off. - Okay.
Master, let's go...
Trying to escape?!
Junior Sha, take Master with you.
Master, let's go.
Stinky monks... want to escape? No way!
Go and protect Master.
Yes, brother Monkey.
Master...
Junior Sha!
Master, let's go!
Tripitaka!
Master...
Master, what sins do you have?
Why did you meet so many demons?
What should we do now?
That demon used his big bag to capture all those deities.
If I go to Jade Emperor again, he will scold at me.
Wh... what...
He's now at Wudang Mountain.
Maybe I should go to him for help.
Great King.
Little ones... make sure the water is boiled.
And don't scared them.
They won't taste good if their meat shrink.
Yes!
Open.
Master... Junior Sha...
Looks like this will be the end for us.
We will become the demon's food!
We can only hope that we will not suffer too much.
Stinky pig, I always had my pork raw.
Demon, kill me if you want.
Stop your crap.
I will keep you alive and eat you bit by bit.
Whether it's steamed or boiled.
Oh god, it's better to die quickly.
Oh my god.
Tripitaka, do you agree that I go to West Paradise instead?
Go if you want.
Why must I give permission?
Do you think Buddha will give Sutras to just anyone?
You have the order from Tang Emperor.
I don't have that and it's not in my name.
I'm not you, so it's useless.
There's nothing I can do about it.
You must write a letter of authorization to me.
We are not selling properties here,
what's this letter of authorization for?
That's right, Master, don't write that for him.
What's wrong with that?
You monks are so old fashioned!
You should learn to adapt.
Reporting... Great King.
That monkey is outside with more help!
Master, Brother Monkey, is here again.
Release us, demon!
Shut up!
Leave...
Yes.
Yellow brows demon, come out quickly.
Let me hit you.
All of you, be careful.
His bag is powerful.
Who are you? How dare you come!
Demon, we are from Wudang Mountain, Tai He Court.
We are the 5 Dragon deities, Turtle and Snake General
Great Sage requested for our help to subdue you.
Release all of them now and we will let you live.
If not, we will kill all demons in this mountain...
and burn all those houses to ashes.
What powers do you have?
Watch me.
That's good.
No! Be careful!
Monkey, my bag could hold everything.
Get all the help you could and I will capture them all.
Deity, come out!
Please don't be angry, Great Sage.
I know who can subdue this demon.
Why didn't you say so earlier? Speak!
It's not far from here, in the Southern land.
There's a Great Sage Country with a Bodhisattva.
He's powerful and has a disciple, known as little Prince Zhang.
And there's also the 4 Guards.
A few years back, they subdued Lady Water Jelly.
If you go to him for help,
I'm sure you can subdue him and save your Master.
Thank you.
Tripitaka, just write that letter...
and I will allow your disciples to go with me.
I will subdue all the demons along the way.
Your disciples will not be harmed.
Don't worry.
I didn't touch you, what are you shouting about?
I... I was just practicing.
Stinky pig, if you follow me I will treat you well.
Much better than your Master.
Dream on, you stinky demon.
If you could lure us here,
why can't you transform into him and go instead?
Lie to Buddha if you are good.
That's nonsense, Buddha is not so gullible.
Tang monk have to give it up himself.
Only then will Buddha accept it.
Yellow brows, I don't understand.
You are so powerful.
Why should you threaten me...
in order to go to the west?
You really don't know Buddhism?
Do you look down on me?
Do you think I want to be respected by everyone?
To accept their offerings?
If that's what I want, why do I need to do all these?
I only need to play some tricks and I could achieve that.
All people in this world will fall for that.
But that cannot resolve their real problem.
Moreover, Bodhisattvas won't use...
their powers to help those people.
You pretend to know all about Buddhism.
One must learn to save oneself before learning Buddhism.
Because... only you can save yourself.
It won't work to beg Buddha for help.
You are the only one who can save yourself.
Sutras teaches one to change the heart and behavior...
to change the environment.
Only then can you save yourself and others.
If I can use my hands now,
I will pray to you now.
That's right, Second senior...
do you think he can do all that?
You actually wanted to eat us?
Which Bodhisattva teaches you that?
Wujing is right. What do you say, Yellow brows?
If I don't go to hell, who will?
I will oblige after I got the Sutras.
Tripitaka, will you write that latter?
If not, I will kill your fat disciple.
I don't understand...
I don't understand you.
What's so difficult?
I also want to help the people.
So that I can spread Buddhism quickly...
and achieve salvation.
I'm just doing what you want to do.
It's that simple.
Where are you from?
Don't bother about my origin. Are you writing?
- Guards. - Yes.
Take this pig and cook him.
Master... it hurts...
Wait.
Wait! Master said "wait."
I will write that but I have a condition.
Speak...
Great King, Monkey is here again.
What are you two doing? Help your king now.
Let's go...
Master, elder sect brother came to save us again.
Master, here we go again...
I must warn all of you.
This demon has mediocre skills...
but he has a powerful bag.
It can capture lots of Heavenly deities.
Be careful.
Alright, we will be careful.
Monkey!
Monkey Sun, I will capture you this time.
I shall eat your brain raw.
You need to get pass me first.
Sun Wukong, I'm wondering who's your new helper.
It's this weak fellow...
who abandoned his country...
and trains under that Bodhisattva?
Demon, don't talk rubbish.
Hand sage monk over and we will spare you.
Prince, don't learn from that Bodhisattva.
You can't learn anything.
If you follow me, I will give you a piece of Tang monk flesh.
And you will gain immortality.
Demon, how dare you insult my Master.
Brothers, attack!
Everyone, move away.
I'm going to capture all of you.
Monkey!
No matter what, I'm going to capture you today.
Stinky monkey, you are lucky.
The Great Sage has hidden himself in the field?
Next time, you may even jump into the cesspool.
The Great Sage, come out. He already left.
Since I'm born, it's the first time I'm suffering so much.
I don't even know where to hide.
Have some watermelons to calm your anger.
I'm too angry to eat.
You will not worry after eating the watermelon.
Why are you so nagging? I said... oh?
Oh, it's Maitreya Buddha.
I came to help you.
Please tell me the origin of this demon.
This demon is my servant.
When I'm away, he stole my treasures and came here.
And he become a demon. That bag is mine.
His weapon is my bell knocker.
You have not taught your servant well...
and harmed my Master.
Isn't this your fault?
I'm careless to let him escape.
But it's also because your tribulation is not over yet.
That's why you need to go through all these.
I shall subdue him now.
How can you do that without your treasures?
I have a plan.
Wukong, give me your hand.
Thanks.
Here's Tripitaka.
You couldn't capture Wukong, right?
He was beaten by me!
He won't dare to come here again.
Let's continue our talk. Tell me your condition.
I don't want to stay here as abbot.
Then what do you want?
Even if I gave you the travel papers,
I will still journey to the west.
How do you plan to get there?
I will be like a roaming monk.
Even if I cannot take the main road,
I will still take the side roads to reach there.
Both of us shall obtain the Sutras.
There's more than enough Sutras,
we won't bother each other.
A human like you want to journey to the west?
You won't be long died if not for your disciples.
Report!
Great King, Sun Wukong is here again.
It's never ending! Take him down.
Yes.
Move it.
Demon, come on out.
I'm here, come and fight me.
Stinky monkey, I knew that you can't get any more help...
so you are seeking your own death?
Funny, I've escaped from you numerous times.
How could I die?
This time you can't escape.
You old demon, if not for your bag...
you are not my match.
Alright, I shall not use my treasures. I will fight 1 to 1 with you.
We shall see the winner.
Are you fighting me with your skills?
Stinky monkey, don't run away!
Strange... this plot of land used to be empty.
When did it become a melon field?
Hey, farmer.
Did you see a monkey pass through here?
No, I didn't.
That monkey is slimy and fast.
Farmer, get me a ripe melon to quench my thirst.
Yes...
Here.
