JOURNEY TO THE WEST Episode 47
Brother monkey, Junior Sha!
Bajie is back.
Second sect brother is back.
I'm so tired.
Bajie, how was it?
Junior Sha, where's our luggage?
Let's just disband and split our ways.
Why are you saying that again?!
After that, you return to your river and devour humans again.
I shall visit my relatives in Gao Village.
Brother monkey, you return to your mountain
and be the Handsome Monkey King.
Little white dragon will return to his sea.
And Master...
will just stay in that cave and bring up his little monks.
Brother monkey,
Junior Sha and I... All of us have a home now.
Isn't that a happy ending for everyone?
Idiot, you're talking nonsense again.
You are the one talking nonsense.
Just now, I heard from the 2 demoness that...
they are preparing a banquet for Master...
and there's a wedding after that.
Was Master caught by those 2 demoness?
Let's hurry and save Master.
We don't know if he's hurt.
He's waiting for us to save him.
Let's save him quickly.
Stop it, you only know how to talk.
How are we going to save him?
We'll follow those 2 demoness and
let them lead us to the cave.
Then we'll work together to save Master.
Junior Sha, let's hurry.
Second sect brother, let's hurry.
Junior Sha, wait.
I think...
maybe Master is willing to get married.
If we go, we'll ruin Master's happiness.
There's an old saying,
'One can tear a temple down but shouldn't spoil a marriage'
Isn't that right, brother monkey?
Master...
Stop talking nonsense! And go save Master!
Hurry up!
I'm going!
The cave is well hidden.
Easy to get in, hard to get out.
We don't know the situation down there.
That must be the demoness's dwelling.
You two wait here.
I'll take a look first.
Minions, bring Tripitaka to me.
We're getting marry today.
Yes.
Help me change.
Yes.
I want to dress up nicely for brother (Tripitaka).
Stinky demoness, fat hope.
I'll fly in and search for Master.
See if he really fell in love with her.
If he is, I'll just leave him here.
Go, no need to be afraid.
Go...
Let me go.
Sit down.
Why did you bring me here?
Sit here and wait.
You'll find out soon.
- Master. - Wukong.
Congratulations, Master.
You're getting marry.
Why are you saying those words now?
Since the day I left Chang an, I never break my vows.
Master, I know how you feel.
Don't worry, I have a plan to save you.
Then untie me and get me out of here.
Not yet.
This cave is different from other caves.
You can't just leave this cave easily.
Look...
We can dug our way out of this cave.
If we are lucky, we can get out.
If we are unlucky, we will die.
What should we do?
Don't worry.
I have a plan.
I saw those demoness preparing a banquet for you.
Later, you must find a way to toast that demoness.
- I'll pretend... - Brother...
Master, take care.
Brother...
Amitabha.
Brother...
Can you stop saying Amitabha?
Now we look more like husband and wife.
Minions, serve the dishes.
Yes.
Eh, untie him.
I know you don't take meat.
But the water in this cave is not clean.
I ordered them to get some clean water for you.
I prepared these vegetarian and fruits.
To dine with you.
From now on, can I address you as husband?
Husband.
Why didn't you answer me?
Lady,
Why must you make things difficult for me?
You're quite stubborn.
Look at these dishes.
I've spent a lot of effort on this.
You have worked hard.
I've never saw these dishes before.
If you want to thank me, drink this nuptial wine.
Master, don't look at me.
Your chance is here.
I fly into her drink as a bug.
She'll drink it.
I will crush her internal organs and kill her.
Then you're free.
Just subdue her, don't be too hard on her.
Husband...
What are you saying?
Are you chanting again?
Yes.
If we become husband and wife tonight, that'll fulfill my wish.
From now on, I will weave and you farm.
We can have a pair of children.
And we can become a beautiful couple.
Even the immortals will envy us.
After drinking this wine,
we'll be husband and wife.
Wait.
Your wine...
Master, you spoiled my plan again.
Sun Wukong, how did you find this place?
Return Master to me.
Or I'll kill you.
He's my husband after drinking the nuptial wine.
Me and your Master feel for each other. Don't you care!
You will be cursed if you tries to break us.
You should be cursed instead. Watch me.
Master.
This demoness actually had this secret place.
There's a tablet.
I shall crush it first.
There are words on it.
Finally, I know who are her ancestors.
Elder sect brother has been gone awhile.
I wonder what's happening.
What's happening?!
Maybe he become their matchmaker, and joined their wedding banquet.
And even help to usher them into their nuptial room.
You always talk nonsense.
He's not that kind of a person.
Our Master will never do that.
If this drags on, even the little monks will be born.
Look carefully.
He's here.
Hurry.
I'm back.
Monkey.
Elder sect brother.
Why are you so late?
Where's the demoness?
I was fighting with her
but she escaped with Master.
What should we do then?
No worries.
I found out about her background.
I'm about to go to Heaven and complain.
I will make them return Master to us.
Complain?
Great Sage, why are you here?
I'm here to complain to Jade Emperor.
Great Sage, what's that tablet for?
It's a treasure for the Jade Emperor.
We have all kinds of treasures in the Heavenly Palace.
Why would he need that?
If he doesn't want it, someone will.
Great Sage!
Great Sage, must you complain? Yes.
Must you? Yes!
Must you? I must do it!
Think about it?
No.
Why are you asking so much questions?
Are you trying to cover this crime?
I think there might be some misunderstanding.
How about I investigate some more
and then you'll decide what to do?
Old sir, Jade Emperor asked you to catch the culprit with me.
But you are dragging your feet.
Alright, I shall return to Jade Emperor...
and tell him that you are trying to cover the crime.
Great Sage...
I'm following you now, why must you complain about me?
Then, hurry it up and go.
This monkey...
Old sir, why are you here?
Someone complains about you.
I've always done my duty.
Who's complaining about me?
It's me.
Sun Wukong?
I thought you were with Tripitaka?
What is your complain about?
The lmperial edict is here, read it yourself.
Sun Wukong, how dare you make false accusations!
Heavenly King, please don't be angry.
There's a tablet as proof. She is your daughter.
Everyone knows I have three sons and one daughter.
My big son, Jinzha is...
at Western paradise, serving Buddha.
My second son, Muzha is at Southern sea, with Guan Yin.
My third son, NeZha, is by my side.
Working in the Heavenly Palace night and day.
And my daughter is only seven years old.
How could she become a demoness?
Who knows what you left on earth?
The tablet is here, see!
This is fake!
You want to destroy the evidence?!
Monkey, don't be rude.
Even if I'm a normal person, you cannot falsely accuse me too.
- Guards! - Yes!
Tie him up with the demon subduing chain.
Don't... don't...
Tie me up?
Good... good...
The tighter the better.
So, that I can't escape.
Heavenly King.
Don't get yourself into trouble.
I was there when he met Jade Emperor.
I'm here on behalf of Jade Emperor to ask you.
But how can you tie him up now?
Old Sir.
How can I allow him to do that?
Take a seat while I chopped his head off.
Somebody, get me my weapon.
Great Sage, you're too rash.
How can you take the complain so lightly?
You didn't have a clear picture yet. What if there's trouble?
Old sir, don't worry. I always do things this way.
I always lost first and win later.
Kill me!
Father, calm down.
- NeZha.
I know you are friends with this monkey.
But he's trying to frame our family.
- You... - Are you helping him too?!
You're wrong about Wukong.
You do have a daughter on earth.
Rubbish!
I know how many daughters I have!
You dare to help this monkey and lie for him?!
Father, have you forgotten?
300 years ago, there's an albino rat at Ling mountain
who stole Buddha's offerings.
Buddha ask us to capture her. We should kill her then.
Buddha asked us to spare its life.
To thank us, she address you as father and me as brother.
Heard that?!
You've forgotten you even have a daughter.
I've forgotten about that.
What's her name?
She has three names.
Her original name is Golden nose albino rat.
After she stole the offerings, she's known as Half Guan Yin.
When she's banished to earth, she is known as Lady Earth Flow.
Yes... yes...
That's right.
That's her.
Great Sage, please forgive me.
No problem.
I'm a petty man.
So what?!
Say something.
Great Sage...
...it's all a misunderstanding.
Please forgive and forget.
No way.
I will complain about the person who help them.
Hurry and take me to see the Jade Emperor.
Great Sage...
This matter...
I will definitely win this case.
NeZha.
You're friends with him, you go talk to him.
How can I say anything?
Lt was father's fault in the first place.
Say anything.
As long as he doesn't go to the Jade Emperor.
Hurry and go.
Brother...
Stop.
Brother, it was my father's fault.
No. Definitely no.
No one can help.
I will complain about you too if you insisted.
Brother, I won't say anymore.
Come to my house. Don't stand around here.
Deities will laugh at us.
Deities laughing at us?
They will laugh at you not me.
Brother...
You can't say that.
Everybody said that after you become Tripitaka's disciple.
You're no longer the unreasonable monkey.
Don't embarrass your Master.
Fine.
That's the way.
I'm not giving you face.
I did this for my Master.
Junior Sha...
...wait.
Something is not right.
Why is that monkey still not back yet?
Were we tricked by him again?
What do you mean "again?"
It's not about that.
Do you think he went back to his Flower Fruit Mountain
because he can't capture that demoness?
Second senior, you are talking bad about big senior again.
He's not like that.
What did I say?
He has been gone for so long, where could he be?
He said he's going to Heaven to complain.
To the heavens...
He's back.
Heavenly King is here.
General TianPeng, you didn't know.
The demoness who trapped your Master is related to us.
Please forgive us.
Is this Empty mountain?
Where's the entrance to the cave?
Last time, I went through there.
I only know that this is Bottomless cave.
300 miles around here are all caves.
Who knows where she is hiding?
We won't know till we enter the tiger's lair.
Who wants to be first?
Me.
I'll go. I'll be the first.
Great Sage, please wait.
My father is acting under lmperial order. So I will go first.
Brother, let's go together.
Okay.
Brother...
We have love and feelings for each other.
If you continue to reject me, it's only a waste of time.
Let's do it before the monkey returns.
Then, no one can separate us.
Amitabha.
Lady, I've been a monk since young.
I no longer have any desire.
And I have a heavy responsibility to obtain the Sutras.
Please let me go
so that I can continue on my journey to the west.
Husband,
Why are you talking about this again?
We have drank the nuptial wine.
You aren't true to me?
My heart...
I never have any intention to marry.
You...
Monks don't lie. How can you do this to me?
If I've sinned, I will seek forgiveness in front of Buddha.
But my determination to journey to the west...
will never change.
I don't care.
I must marry you today.
Did you ever have any feelings for me?
I thought I could fulfill my wish when I saw you.
I'm serious about being your wife.
I'm not a real deity.
But I've been on vegetarian and chants Buddhist chants.
But I don't want to be a demoness nor deity.
I just want...
...to be a normal person.
To find someone like you to be my husband.
Is that wrong of me?
Brother...
You have always been merciful.
Don't you...
understand me at all?
Be merciful and take pity on me.
Amitabha.
You, Tang monk!
You aren't moved even when I'm begging like this.
And you are a Buddhist disciple?
I shall dig your heart out and check it.
Wukong.
Master.
Save me.
Master, are you alright?
I'm fine.
You demoness, how dare you harm others?
Brother.
Who's your brother?!
I spared you in the past but you didn't repent.
Now, you are trying to harm Sage monk.
Do you know your crime?
Brother, I know it's my fault. Please spare me.
NeZha, see how she endears to you.
Maybe you should spare her.
You must be joking. If I spare her...
and she does it again, someone else will complains again.
Me and my father will suffer.
- Guards. - Yes.
Capture all the other demons.
Yes.
Master, let's leave.
Wukong, thank goodness that you are here in time.
Master, everything you met demons.
The guys want to eat you and girls wants to marry you.
As disciples, we are used to it.
Fine, let's go.
Report.
NeZha, Third prince is back.
Good.
Master, are you alright?
I've heard a lot about you and finally I met you.
Master, this is Pagoda Bearer Heavenly King Li Jing.
This is NeZha, Third prince.
My respects to both of you.
Master, don't be so polite.
This demoness is related to them.
If not, let me kill her.
I'm acting on order this time. Don't be rash.
Let us take her away.
Alright, you have worked hard.
Farewell.
Amitabha.
Take her away.
Yes.
Hurry up and go.
Brother, I...
What's that for?
Take her away.
Yes, hurry up and go.
'Brother'?
Stop laughing.
Master...
That rat has real feelings for you.
It's a pity that you cannot be husband and wife.
How could monks have such desire?
Master, don't be mad.
I was just joking with you.
I wonder what punishment she will get in heaven?
She may become rat again or lose her life.
Maybe not.
Heavenly King Li and this rat demoness are relative.
Not necessary. He's not someone who will do that.
He's also afraid to break Heaven's rule.
That's hard to say.
In front of Jade Emperor, they may try to settle it quickly.
That's it.
People can twist their words.
But the fact will not change.
The truth will surface one day.
The truth?
Master, it's good if you can live to see the truth.
What's the use if you can't?
You idiot, you sound so unjustified.
Brother monkey, it's nothing.
I'm just sad.
This is the way it works.
Those who are rich and powerful can bully others.
Those who are poor and powerless have to obey others.
Isn't that right?
That's so unfair.
From what you said, those in power are all bad people?
That's not what I mean.
If one is blinded by power and money,
good people can become bad.
Second sect brother,
When I'm at the river, I've seen lots of people.
Those who are rich can also be good...
and bad people too.
It's the same with poor people.
Everybody are different.
Heard that?
What can you see from your river?
I have seen more.
I have more experience than you.
Let me tell you. It's bad to be rich.
It's better to be poor.
That's nonsense.
The poor may be poor because of sickness.
Some may be poor because they indulged in bad vices.
That's right.
Is the latter poor people good too?
Yeah.
No, I just...
Don't argue and listen to me.
In this world, those who are rich...
gained those money from hard work.
Some studied hard for that.
Some risked their lives.
They didn't get those riches for nothing.
Heard that?
Master, there's people who gained on the expense of others.
And there's people who was born with a silver spoon.
Do you know how many good karma...
he gathers in his previous life to have a good life now?
If you sin in this lifetime, how many bad karma can you have?
Yes, Master is right.
Yes, Master, you are right.
But we cannot see that.
Why did you want to see?
Heaven can see everything.
In the end, everything will be fair.
Look at Master, because of a grain of rice...
he was sick for 3 days.
Look at yourself.
You are always talking bad behind others.
Don't you think you should suffer retribution?
Bro... brother monkey.
It was all talk.
It couldn't be that serious?
Please help me when that happens.
No way.
Get the luggage and horse now.
If you don't do well in the task.
I will make you into ham even if Heaven spare you.
Feed it to the dogs.
No, you...
What are you laughing about?!
Didn't you hear him?!
Hurry and get the horse and luggage.
You can only out talk me.
And you can only bully Junior Sha.
Look how useless you are.
I... I...
Master, be careful.
- Junior Sha, keep up the pace. - Yes.
♫Light a lamp and ignite hope.
Master, the road ahead is difficult. Be careful.
♫Light will brighten every corner.
Although we are not far from West paradise.
But it's a good 2000 miles to India.
I wonder how much longer is the route?
Master, have you forgotten the Sutras?
The Sutras is with me everyday. I recite it everyday too.
I can even recite it backwards.
You may be able to recite it but do you understand?
Do you?
Yes, yes.
Of course, I know.
Brother monkey...
Continue boasting.
You are a demon like me.
What do you know?
Junior Sha, Master... Am I right?
He's boasting.
Second senior, do you believe big senior?
He's just coaxing Master.
How can he interpret Sutras?
Wuneng, Wujing...
Both of you didn't know.
Wukong may not talk much but...
that's the real interpretation.
I have learn a lot from Master over these years.
Learnings?
We have been with Master for more than 10 years.
Who didn't learn from him?
But we cannot say...
cannot say. Right?
That will spoil it.
Right. That's right.
Wukong, look.
This temple is neither big nor small.
It's quite dignified.
Master, see. There's a signboard.
Master, it's Bujin Temple.
Bujin?
Are we at the boundary of She Wei country?
Master, this is news.
Master finally know his way after all these years.
No, Bajie.
I read about She Wei country in the Sutras.
Lonely elder wanted to buy this garden from...
the prince for Buddha to give Buddhism talk.
The prince don't want to sell.
He could only buy this if the ground is covered with gold.
After hearing that, Elder paved this place with gold brick.
That's how he bought this garden.
And invited Buddha here.
Maybe this is the temple in the story?
It's fated.
If this is that temple, we can also grab a gold brick.
The Buddha statues here are dignified.
Amitabha.
May I ask a favor?
Amitabha.
Where are you from?
I'm Chen XuanZang.
A monk from Great Eastern Tang.
I would like to spend a night here.
Anyone can come for a stay here.
You are a guest from afar, it's our honor to host you.
Please come in.
Amitabha.
Disciples, thank this elder.
Thanks, elder.
Master, let's go.
Let's go.
Please.
Second sect brother...
...show some manners.
Manners?
One can't eat manners as food.
You!
Eat.
Yes... yes...
Stop.
What is the origin of this temple's name?
This is Qi garden of She Wei country.
Lonely Elder covered this place...
with gold bricks hence the name.
There's remnants of the garden behind our temple.
After heavy rain, there's fragments of gold and sliver.
Those who are fated will find them.
This is indeed the temple in the story.
Eat.
Bajie...
...can you eat a bit less?
Master...
...I'm hungry.
My stomach's empty.
Here... take it all!
Master, look.
- Amitabha. - Amitabha.
Sage monk.
Our old master wants to see you.
Oh, you are the Sage monk from China?
I'm not worthy.
You looked different.
So different from the monks in India.
Master, where is the remnants of Qi Garden?
It's behind the back door.
Master, let's go.
He used gold to save the poor.
Qi garden's name went down in history.
Master, who's crying?
Go prepare some tea.
We'll come soon.
Yes.
Sage monk!
Master, why are you doing this?
Sage monk.
I may be over 50 years old and have seen a lot.
While I'm here, I've seen lots of strange happenings.
I've heard about you and your disciples.
We are nothing in compare.
I cannot really explain this sad incident.
But I need this monk to help us.
Oh, only I can help?
This must be a demon?
Master.
Tell me about it.
Yes...
Please come with me.
Please, Master.
Please...
Master, let's go.
What happened here?
Last year...
...from today...
Why would there be a girl here?
