and watch them properly
make them eat properly
if the horses ran away
re-capture them
where are you going? I'll take you there
no need, I've Somersault Cloud its very convenient
no need to ride a horse
it has been a long time before I had a good run
alright, I'll ride you
both of us shall have a good run together
Brother horse my bottom is red & swollen from the fall
a monkey's bottom is originally red
its true that a horse don't know that its face is long
and a monkey don't know that its bottom is red
Grandpa, let me compete with him
where did this brat came from?
How dare you insult
me & my Heaven horses
Heaven horse is very unhappy
and wanted to compete with you
Nonsense
can you understand their language?
Of course
I grew up in Flower-Fruit mountain
all the animals there obey me
that's right, you are a monkey deity
of course you are different from us, humans
yes, we are different... & stronger than you
we will know after we compete
what did he say?
He says that instead of riding a horse
you choose to ride on your stupid fire wheels
he don't like the look of it
he wants me to ride on him
to have a race with you
Alright, we shall have a race
I'm not afraid of you... unless you don't know how to ride a horse
Alright... transform
we shall start from here and see who reaches the finish point first
Sure, I shall count-down ready
run!
Look there
Heavenly King, how are you?
I'm on my way to see the Jade Emperor
I shall take my leave... alright
Get lost
which unruly brat is that?
It seems to be your SON
what is that? Its gone in a flash what?
Oh no... our elixir!
Who are you angry with?
Who else?
Its that stupid monkey
is it a big deal to be an immortal?
That's right, Wu Kong left just like that
without thinking of us
forget about it, what Wu Kong
sounds so nice
I only known him as 'monkey'
I want to look for that 'monkey'
want to come?
But can we enter Heaven's gate
be good, don't cause trouble
No, I want to go
I want to stir up trouble
and let him be banished
so that he can still be a deity here on earth
I really don't know
whats the big deal with those immortals
no one can enter Heaven
unless you have immortal status
or edict from Jade Emperor
or else, please leave
I'm looking for Sun Wu Kong
do you know him?
Its that monkey
its rare to see a Monkey Deity... right?
I know him
but I'm only in charge of guarding the gate
cannot help you to search for him
I would force my way in then
so you are a beastly being
since you already gain human form
i took pity of your effort to practice the Way if it happens again
and tried to force your way in
don't blame me for cutting you go
Hey King Zheng
Did you see me first?
King Zheng, I'm here first
no... I'm here first
I'm here first
Alright, alright!
I didn't see that
both of you were too fast
I'm here first... its me
What... you? I
Monkey, lets have another match
Alright
Monkey!
Sister Qing? Sister Qing. You wait.
King Zheng, I'm here first
How come you missed that
I'm here first...
Sister Qing
Sister Qing, why are you here?
I am not ranked as immortal
and I don't have Jade Emperor's edict
to look for you, I almost died
what kind of immortal are you?
You cannot even see a friend
An immortal cannot have kins and friends?!
And forget everything?!
Sister Qing, don't be angry
Let me think of something
Got it... come
I will sneak you in
you transform yourself into a horse whip, no one will know
step back
step back... change
NeZha, this time we will use
the horse stable fence as the finishing point
lets see who can reach there first
Alright, I shall start the race
Get set
Stupid Monkey, wait for me
I won... I won... I won!
Any good thing to do today
Protector of Horses, you are new here
Today, we shall welcome you
and congrats you
This lady is?
Me? I'm his sister
But... I want to ask you something
Lady, I'm the supervisor here
you may ask any questions
I know everything
Ask... Ask What rank is a Protector of Horses?
Eh... its just Protector of Horses
What rank is it?
This... no rank
No rank?
I understand... No rank
No rank means that its great... too great to be ranked
cannot be ranked
Let me ask again
How great is his position compared to King Li
This... compared to Great White Star Deity?
How high is his rank?
This... his position is not great
This... its not too great
What do you mean 'not too great'... speak
Please don't be angry
We shall tell you the truth
It is the most junior position
only to look after the horses... what?
You have been hardworking
and fed the horses well
all you get is a word of 'Thanks' only
but, if there's any problem
you will be blamed
if there's any damage
and... and you will be punished
Monkey, this position
is just a horse handler
how dare you look down on me
In Flower-Fruit Mountain, water curtain cave
I'm the King!
That Jade Emperor cheated me and make me rear his horses
Alright, monkey... now, I can tell you
why King Li took his son to see the Jade emperor
but only instructed you to see Supreme Deity
Because... even on earth
a horse handler's mistake
will not require the attention of the Emperor
Do you understand?
King Li is strict on his son
because he loved him
and was strict on his discipline
but you? He simply look down on you
you are not even fit for him to hit you
understand?
I quit... I QUIT
I shall quit this position
go and tell that Jade Emperor
that I QUIT!
Little ones, Old Sun is back
Great King! Great King!
Come... come.
Great King, you must have returned in glory
May I ask
what position are you holding?
Alright let us talk in the cave
Great King
drink up
drink it up
Great King, those in Heaven treated you in this manner
but look at us
and how we treated you
I bumped into this friend outside
look at his gift
Single horn King is late in paying his respects
please pardon me
you are too polite I have been training
and wasn't aware
that all the other 72 Demon Kings were here to pay their respects
and couldn't make it to your blood bonding with 7 Demon Kings either
I'm here with a small gift to apologize
please take this
Look at this
this is a yellow coat Monkey
this is only fit for an Emperor
that's not true
with your fame and ability
is it necessary for you to rank beneath the Jade Emperor
Wu Kong, it fits you
Do you like it?
I do... really do like it
This yellow coat has the air of Emperor
to wear it
you must have the ambitious air of an Emperor
with your boundless power
why must you be a horse handler for Jade Emperor
Monkey
you are equal with Jade Emperor
why can't you be the 'Great Sage' who is as great as the Heaven
The Great Sage Equal of Heaven?
Yes, thats a nice name! The Great Sage Equal of Heaven
Make me a flag
From today onwards, don't call me the Great King
I'm 'The Great Sage Equal ofHeaven'
The Great Sage Equal of Heaven...
Your Majesty... new Protector of Horses, Sun Wu Kong
thinks that his position is too minor, he has left the palace yesterday
your Majesty
Outside the Southern Gate
This monkey actually wanted to be equal to Jade Emperor
its difficult for me to protect him
Jade Emperor, I'm useless
Please give your order to capture this demon
He's only an arrogant monkey
do you want to fight him?
If we don't do it now
he may become worse
capture him alive
don't harm the innocents
I understand
I shall appoint King Li as
Demon-Subduing Marshal
Nezha, the Third prince as his support.
and shall descend to earth now
Great Spirit Deity. I am here.
Hey, what Deity are you?
I don't know you
Report your name
I'm a subordinate of King Li, known as Great Spirit Deity
With Jade Emperor's order
I'm here to capture you
it will be wise for you to shed your armour
and follow me to Heaven to seek pardon
to prevent harm on the whole mountain of monkeys
if Not
I will reduce you to powder
a small deity... talks big
and so boastful
I should kill you with a stroke of my staff
but I shall keep you alive
to report to Jade Emperor
that I, Old Sun has boundless power
but he asked me to be his horse handler
he's not fit to be Jade Emperor
you dumb head... dumb head... big dumb head
As the vanguard, you demoralized our army
Come, execute him
Marshal
Please be appeased, father
father, on account of his past credits
please spare him
are you appealing for him?
Alright, you shall go instead
Yes
Nezha, why are you here?
Want to compete with me again?
Lets fight real now
if l lose, you may kill me
without any regrets
I, Old Sun is not
someone who kills my friend
if you see us as friends
then don't fight
follow me back to Heaven
and let Jade Emperor punish you
he's kind
and will be lenient on you
we don't have to fight
you shall return now
and ask Jade Emperor to give me an explanation
what explanation?
Look
Look there
if Jade Emperor
agrees to give me this position
I'll give up my weapon
and there will be peace
if not
I shall fight to his palace
so that he cannot seat comfortably
nor sleep well
Monkey Sun, I used to be as fiery tempered as you in the past
this is pure ignorant
you should know that there's always a better person out there
and a higher heaven beyond heaven
the world does not
listen to you alone
its better than that Jade Emperor
who lied to me with the rest of the deities
even if l disturbed the Sea Dragon palace
and intruded the Hades... so what?
If you are capable, defeat me
if not, sincerely use me
he should not lie to me
and tricked me like any monkey
Jade Emperor did not want to use violence
and he's been kind
he did not give you an important position
because you have no other credits
for us to gain our status
we need to gain some achievements
or being loyal
or teaching others the Way
or we saved numerous lives
or we were being filial
let me ask you... besides being powerful
what else have you done?
Even when we became immortal
we were not lazying around
we still need to save the people
let me ask you... after talking so much
what have you done?
I... what can I do?
I can be the King
I protected my monkeys
from bullies
Alright
since we were brothers
I will let you hit me first, I will not fight back
we shall talk business here
no personal talks
don't be silly to let me hit you
I don't want to harm you
don't want to harm me... that's being personal
Then get ready to feel my spear!
Monkey, you are too arrogant
if not, I am not Sun Wu Kong
Third Prince, is that all you've got?
You cannot harm me
I would advise you to retreat quickly
and admit defeat
admit defeat? Its too premature
you can transform? So can I
Marshal, shall we deploy
the Heavenly soldiers to help Third Prince
They are having a solo fight
he would not want us to intervene
and bully the monkey
I don't like that either
he dare to bully my brother
why did you save Nezha?
He's a powerful deity
without him around, you will have lesser enemy
he cannot die
I want him to relay my message to Jade Emperor
Nezha, go
Monkey Sun, today's incident
shall be remembered
if he goes back
they may send Heavenly soldiers to kill you
I will fight them all
you have great skills
but not the other monkeys
if the soldiers really come
the numerous monkeys
will die
if you are afraid, you may run
I shall shoulder the blame myself
Monkey, what you said
is too much
don't bother about me
Father... you lost to the monkey
Somebody... yes
follow me to Flower-Fruit Mountain
Father, with my skills
I cannot win over him
and was even hurt by him
if father fight him yourself
even if you could capture him
there will be some damages & lose
in the soldiers
do you expect me to return empty handed?
If father wants to fight
let me return
and fight him to death
Nezha, don't go
you are injured
and should not go again
Father, allow me to
say something
in the past, if we did not
look down on him
there won't be a war
we wanted to use him
but... we only use him as horse handler
ignorant monkey
who didn't know what is a horse stable supervisor about
and blame us for cheating him?
If he is ignorant
we should teach him, how could we cheated him?
No wonder he wanted to rebel
he injured you
and you still speaks up for him
Were you friends?
