JOURNEY TO THE WEST Episode 11
In our South East side there is a Black Wind Mountain
on that Mountain, there's a Black Wind cave
in the cave, there's a Black Demon King
He often discuss Buddhist texts with our Grand Master
He is a demon
no need to say more
it must be that Black demon who stole the Buddhist cassock
How did he know that you are here?
And how did he come and steal the treasure?
That night... the fire
could be seen from afar... the light shone through the sky
not to mention 20 miles
- even if its 200 miles away, he can also see that fire
Take good care of my Master and the white horse
Yes. Yes. Yes
Good. Good. Good
don't just pay lips services
after I left... do take good care of them
you must serve my Master happily
and mix the horse food and water well
if there's a bit of laziness
watch out for the staff in my hand
if you mistreat them... you will find out
whether your head is harder than this floor
Don't dare. Don't dare. Don't dare.
Master... please rest assured
we will take good care of them
yes
you wouldn't dare
He is really a Bodhisattva
no wonder we can't burn him
You see.
Brother Black... why did you call for us urgently
what is it about?
I asked you here for a discussion
last night... I got a treasure
its a Buddhist Cassock
tomorrow, I shall make use of the cassock
to invite our friends here for a celebration
the event will be known as
'Buddhist cassock event'... is it alright?
Demons
All of you demon thieves stole my cassock
and even wanted an event?
Return the cassock to me
Run.
Demon
Tell me where is the Black demon
what is his name and what kind of demon is he?
If you don't talk... I will kill you
fight and win over the sword in my hand first
its a White Python
I shall get that demon
Demon, why are you hiding inside?
Come out
who are you... how dare you intrude my immortal cave
you must be seeking death
its only a bandit hideout and you claim its an immortal cave?
Ask that black demon to come out
return the cassock to me and I'll spare his life
King
the Buddhist Cassock event is off
there's a hairy, noisy monk outside asking for the cassock
that monkey is clever
he actually found me
Guys... get my weapon
Demon!
Come out.
Or I will burn your hideout
What are you laughing at?
You black thingy
are you a pottery maker or a charcoal seller?
You are really black... haha
who are you?
How dare you make so much noise here
cut the craps
return the cassock to me
hear that? Cassock?
Where are you from?
You lost your cassock
and you dare to demand the cassock from me?
In the Guan Ying temple, Old monk's room
I saw your demonic aura... how dare you deny?
Return the cassock to me now I will spare your life... or else
I shall flatten this black wind mountain
and your whole caves of demons shall become powder
you monkey...
I took the cassock
so what?
Where are you from? so what?
Where are you from?
What is your name?
How capable are you
to make such claims
that's right... you didn't know my name
listen to me carefully
I, your grandpa IS
Eastern land Great Tang lmperial Brother...
Tripitaka's 1st disciple Sun Wu Kong
Sun Wu Kong... if you ask about my ability
if I tell you, you may be so scared you will die in front of me
cut the craps
tell me about it
Demon... stand properly
you may even fall over after hearing about it
500 years ago, I am the one who created chaos in Heaven
Great Sage Equals of Heaven, the Handsome Monkey King
I know. I know
you are the one who rear horses and took care of peach garden
a Protector of Horses
Protector of Horses
you thief... you refuse to return my cassock
and even dare to mock at me
don't go... watch me staff
Hold it, Sun Wu Kong
we shall not fight first
wait till I finish my meal and we can continue later
you demon, when I'm under the 5 element mountain for 500 years
I have not eaten a meal or drank a drop of water
you have just fought for a few rounds and you are hungry?
Return the cassock to me quickly and
I will let you take your meal
retreat
close the door
I will return to look for Master first
in case anything happens
Grand Master, don't blame yourself
this matter is also our fault
I was overcome by greed
and didn't object Guang Mo's plan
which is an evil idea
I'm too shameful to face the others
why did you save me?
Let me die
Old sir,
don't be too sad
when my disciple got the cassock back
I will give it to you
no... I have suffered the retribution
and lost the whole temple
I wouldn't dare to hanker for your cassock
its not about the cassock now
its because I'm too shameful to face anyone
and couldn't face you
I have the mind to harm you
why didn't you hate me
who don't err?
Its good that you know your mistakes and repent
its difficult to be alive
and the Sutras is hard to get
if Heaven wants you to return to life
it wanted you to retain your life
and practice Buddhism
please do not try to kill yourself again
after hearing your words
even when I have lived for 270 years
and was a Buddhist monk for 250 years
I think I have wasted my time
I'm so ashamed
there's no seniority in practicing Buddhism
if one attain enlightenment, one can die
but you have not attain enlightenment
you cannot die
you should stay alive
Master.
You old fellow... you are alive!
Wukong.
Where is that cassock?
Master. You don't have to worry. I found the cassock
it was stolen by that demon
I fought with him just now
but that demon wanted to eat
and slip back to his cave
I came back to inform you
since we found the cassock
I'm sure that demon will return it to us
Amitabha
you finally found the cassock
it lessen our guilt
you are happy to save your lives
before I got the treasure
when i get the cassock back
and I happily left this temple with my Master
you may then rejoice
did you starve my Master?
Or feed the horse well?
Yes... we dare not be lax
you may check with Sage monk
while you were gone
I had 3 rounds of tea
and 2 vegetarian meals... hey were nice to me
Sage monk, the meal is ready
please have some food
Old sir, have some food
Elder Sun, please eat this vegetarian meal
I hasn't eaten for 5 hundred years, yet am still living more than you!
Master, I'm leaving.
Old Temple Master, quickly have your meal.
Hurry.
Hurry up.
Isn't this Guang Zhi and Guang Mao, the two little monks?
What's this? The temple had a fire, you want to run with the riches?
We were forced to do it. It was his idea.
Saying stuff like starting fires, killing them altogether...
would've made the job a lot cleaner.
It's so great now. People are alive, but the temple is burnt!
If we don't leave now, I'm afraid our lives would be in danger.
That shameless monk can't even save oil, you really think you can
kill him!
If we use your idea, then we would've died already.
Demon, can't even handle hits, yet still dare to plot evil
die!
I got a Buddhist cassock by chance
and organized a 'Buddhist cassock event'
yo
please come
your brother, Bear
Old monk, he dares to cooperate with demons.
I will transform into him, and go into the cave for the cassock.
Will save me a lot of work.
Transform.
Stop right there!
- Are you the Old Temple Master? - I am.
- Do you need something? - It's your king who invited me.
Please wait here.
I'll report to my king of your arrival.
Yes.
It really is a great treasure.
Tripitaka's Buddhist cassock is a great treasure.
King! Old Gold Pond Elder Monk is here!
I just sent my messenger to invite him he can't have reached the temple yet.
How can the monk be this fast?
I guess he couldn't wait for the letter, and came to meet you first.
Here. Hide this cassock. Don't let him see it.
Yes, my king.
Everyone be on the lookout.
If you see that monkey report it immediately.
What is it?
What happened here?
I sent a messenger to you, to invite you the day after tomorrow.
Old friend, why are you here now?
old friends start to miss each other
especially came here to pay my respects
I bumped into the messenger and heard about the cassock festival
So I ended up hurrying here
Please King, bring the cassock out and let this monk be amazed
It is Tripitaka's. He lives with you, how come you didn't see it?
And in fact has to come to my place to catch a glimpse?
I already borrowed but it was too dark, I couldn't see it.
I never expected that this treasure would end up in king's hands
You won't deny an old friend's request, right?
Eh...
Why are you mumbling? You don't want to let me see it?
It's not that...
King! Something bad happened!
What is it?
We were patrolling the mountain
and found the body of the little demon
who went to deliver the invitation
he was killed by Sun Wu Kong
Could he disguised himself as Old Monk to deceive us?
What? So it really is him. You really have a lot of guts!
You dare to fool your KING!
Good grandson, grandpa will take the time to play with you
Transform.
Black king bring the cassock out or else!
Black Bear Demon, quickly hand over the cassock!
Kill him for me!
Trying to escape?!
Lmperial horse handler hold on!
Demon, what do you want now?!
It's getting dark for fighting.
You go back now and come again tomorrow.
We'll fight to our deaths tomorrow.
Obedient kid, if you want to fight, FIGHT! Choose a nightly fight!
Demon, I again let you run
What is this door made of?
How come it can't be broken?
Damn.
- Wu Kung, where's the cassock? - Master, don't be impatient.
This Damn Monk is friends with that demon.
I just disguised myself as him, but that demon discovered me
I got into a fight with him, but the demon was so shameless
He only sleep and eat, all he knows is excuses,
he's only a common cave dweller
Old Temple Master
Your Master, is he a demon too?
No, no... My Master is a person.
It's only because he disciplined himself into earning human form
He taught my Master some tricks, and became friend
Master, they don't have any demon aura on them
as written on the invitation
that demon must be a black bear demon
He has hidden himself, how do you get the cassock back?
Master, don't worry. I have a plan.
The food is ready.
Aren't you the monk that was imprisoned in the firewood room?
You didn't get burned to death?
Buddha protected me.
That firewood room hadn't started burning yet
Guang Yi really is lucky in life
Oh, I remembered now.
Last night... besides Master and the Old sir's room
there's another one which is saved from the fire
its actually the wood shed
I still don't know why Guan Yi was locked up
It's like this.
He was locked up because he was against
the idea of stealing the treasure by violence.
Amitabha, its true that Deity and Buddha
will protect those with a kind heart
Master... there's more
I met those 2 evil monks and a little demon on the way
I killed them all
Amitabha, this is retribution
they thought of killing others for treasures
but they were killed for the same reason instead
Sinful... Wu Kong
what did you do that little demon?
Ehh... thats retribution
Did you kill him?
I will think of a way to catch that black bear demon
All fellow monks, we are done, we can still sleep in the wood shed
let's go there in case everyone catch a cold in the night
- Let's leave. - Yes.
Our respects to Temple Supervisor
you are still awake? Don't have a place to sleep?
No... I'm sleep with Old sir in his room, its still very roomy
but I cannot get to sleep and I saw
that you are arranging a place for others to sleep
I feel bad in my heart
these are small matters
I should be handling these, please do not be bothered
Good.
It's so late and you all still aren't asleep?
Aren't you taking care of Sage monk in the room
why are you out too?
I still haven't thought how to capture that demon I can't sleep
Master will not sleep so early too, he's still doing his reciting
our Guan Yin temple had suffer from all these
if Guan Yin Bodhisattva knew about it
she would not be at peace too
Goddess of Mercy, Guanyin?
Guanyin Temple?
This is related to her?
Thank you Bodhisattva for blessing us
this big fire burnt most of the rooms
except this main prayer hall
and this Guan Yin's portrait is also saved
Buddha bless us, Thank you Buddha
even if Buddha's image is not here
its still the same if there's Buddha in our heart
I understand
its more important to have Buddha in your heart
if you don't have Buddha in your heart
its pointless to have a gold statue compared to a clay statue
That is correct.
This Guan Yin temple was grand and big
but was hit by this disaster
it shows that everything else are like passing clouds
only the Buddha in your heart is forever
I have learn
Sage monk, what is the material of this
why wasn't you able to knock some noise from it?
Its already late, I'm afraid to disturb the other's sleep
a lot of them are still in their dream, its time they wake up
not only within this temple, in this world
how many knew the true meaning of being alive
Buddhist teachings are difficult to be heard
not only because they don't have the affinity to hear them
but more because they don't have the 'heart' to hear
them
I hear it, I really heard it
but this should be hollow, it will create a loud sound when hit
but this solid wood make no sound when you hit it
is it better to be hollow or solid?
Buddha says: Something is nothing, Nothing is something
one cannot be void of all feelings because you still have a heart
Guan Yi
its not easy for you to have such enlightenment
its nothing, I open and close the door everyday
serve the tea and sweeps the floor too
but we actually hanker after treasures only
we don't really devote ourselves to Buddha
that's why we cannot gain enlightenment
instead, we become murderer and arsoner
I'm ashamed... ashamed
Buddha My Master
stops over at your temple on the way
you received their praying
but let that black bear demon there to create trouble
he stole my Master's cassock
I'm here today to ask for the cassock from you
You monkey, you really are rude
since that bear demon had stolen your cassock
why did you come here to ask for it?
Its because you are too daring and showed off your treasure
and tempted the knaves
you committed wrong and created the wind
and burnt my temple
but you came here to complain instead
Bodhisattva, you knew everything?
Please spare me
but that black bear demon refuse to return the cassock to me
I'm afraid Master will use the 'tightening head ring' chant
and makes my head dizzy from the pain
Bodhisattva, do have mercy and subdue that demon for me
On the account of Tripitaka I'm willing to go with you
Thank you Buddha
Demon.
Demon, you have met your King of Hell
monkey, you are still so rash
he did not steal your cassock
he don't know you or has any grudges with you
Why did you kill him?
Buddha you couldn't have known. He's black demon king's friend
I saw him talking with a white robed man
that its that black bear demon's birthday
and he was invited to come for the Buddhist cassock event
That's why I recognized him.
Buddha, look
So, it's a wolf demon.
But that doesn't mean it should be killed.
Forget it.
If your Master is here, he would chant
a few rounds of that 'Tightening head ring' chant
Its fated... I got a great deal
Bodhisattva, you can save your effort
Wukong, what are you planning now?
Bodhisattva, I have a plan
I just don't know whether or not you Buddha would agree
Say it.
Buddha look!
There's 2 immortal pills in this tray
its our gift to that demon
if you agreed, we don't have to spare much effort
if not, you may head West
I would head East
Tripitaka's cassock shall be gone
you are really naughty and talkative
Buddha this is really a brilliant idea!
Talk about it
Buddha take a look
it says here, 'made by Ling Xu Zhi'
it must be that demon's name
you may transformed into his look
I will eat one of the pills
and transform myself into a 'big pill'
you will take these 'pills' to that black bear demon's party
and ask him to eat this 'big pill'
when the 'pill' goes into his stomach
I could take action
and see if he can still hide the cassock
I would stir up his stomach and intestine
monkey, you are really evil
i don't dare, don't dare
Wonderful... wonderful
are you a demon Bodhisattva
or a Bodhisattva demon?
Wukong...
Bodhisattva or demon it's only a line between them
if you talk about the beginning
its all nothing
Please.
Brother.
You are here to visit and you added glory to the event
I'm offering an immortal pill.
As a birthday gift.
Thank you. Sit. Please take a sit.
Brother... I'm really ashamed
that day when Sun Wu Kong pretends to be Old Temple monk
I almost fall into his trick
That Sun Wukong is full of tricks.
You have to be careful of him.
Yes. Yes. Yes.
I created this pill overnight.
One big, one small.
Please take the big one.
Wishing you a long life.
You and I are like brothers.
How can I take the big one?
Here. Here. Here.
You take the big one.
You are too courteous.
This big one is especially created for your birthday.
How can I take it?
You should have it.
Alright... thank you.
After I ate this immortal pill, I'll take out the treasure cassock
and admire it with you
Great, great.
Brother
this immortal pill can't wait to be swallowed
and went into my stomach by itself
its an immortal pill... not like any other
and it also wanted to taste
your heart... oh, alright... Hmm
Who are you?
Who do you think?
Are you that Protector of Horses, Sun Wu Kong?
You're wrong. He's in your stomach.
I'm squeezing your "black liver."
Sun Wukong...
what are you planning to do?!
I'm going to mess with your heart and lungs.
Ou... ouch.
Someone! Someone come here!
Great King! Great King!
Hurry and kill him.
You... you... you.
Who are you?!
You... Guan Yin Bodhisattva
Black bear demon, take out the Buddhist cassock quickly
Bodhisattva, not so fast, let me have more fun
Bodhisattva, save me
save me quickly
Wu Kong, hold it
let him take out the Buddhist cassock first
Bodhisattva, thats not fun enough
demon
I will take it out
i will spare you for now... if you dare to trick us
i will tear your stomach
I will take it out
I'm convinced... don't play anymore
please take this, Guan Yin Bodhisattva
Wu Kong, come on out
I got the cassock
Black bear demon, open your mouth
Protector of Horses
come here come here
Here... here
come here... come...
you also got a head ring just like me.
Bodhisattva, spare me
Bodhisattva
Bodhisattva, spare me... don't chant
i cannot stand it anymore, Bodhisattva
don't chant anymore
beast... are you willingly to be Buddhist
yes
yes... I will be Buddhist
demon, I will kill you
Wu Kong
Wu Kong, don't hurt him
I need have plans for him
Bodhisattva, why would you need this demon?
There's no one watching my LouJia mountain
I want him as my mountain deity
you are really the merciful Guan Yin Bodhisattva
you take in any demons
and don't harm a single soul
if I have such a chant
I would chant up to 1000 times
and let the demons in the mountain repay their debt
come... stand up and kowtow to Bodhisattva
spare me Bodhisattva, I will be a Buddhist
spare me... I will be a Buddhist
master... master... I'm back master
Master... the cassock... here
you must be tired
I'm not tired... its Bodhisattva's credit
I only helped her a bit
this is good... the object is back with its owner
Amitabha, thank you Bodhisattva... Amitabha
Wu Kong, since the cassock is back
- let us be on our way - Alright, lets go
Guan Yi, get the horse
pack the luggage... alright
Master, this way
go
this is a good lesson
all the monks in the temple
will remember this
hope that you will have a safe journey
Amitabha
Sage monk... please wait
Grand Master
Sage monk
I'm here to send you off
Wu Kong
Wu Kong, give me the cassock
give it... hurry
Old sir
I will give this cassock to you
this
Sage monk
for these 270 years of my life
I thought I have practiced the way for my whole life
but until today... I finally know what is 'Treasure'
I can die today
I have decided to live in the woods
and quit being a monk
in case I mar the word 'Monk'
its not so serious
you should repent in front of Buddha everyday
I have also decided to give up my position
and restart my training
and hand this temple to Guan Yi
I believe that he will rebuilt this Guan Yin Temple
and attract all devotees here
no... I don't know anything
I may not be able to restore the temple to its past glory
we just praised you for your good cultivation
why are you talking like that?
The temple is not about size
it will be good if there's a Buddha
as long as there's Buddha in your temple
you don't need a nice temple or golden statue
you will still have devotees
Sage monk was right
so... this cassock
I don't deserve it
Why did you
since you have given up your evil... you can be Buddha
yes... old sir
please stay and continue to teach us
but
please don't send me further... we will meet again
Amitabha
let us go
Master... go
Master... go quickly
