JOURNEY TO THE WEST Episode 14
It may sound embarrassing
we, mother and daughters wanted to remarry too
but all of them said that we are fated to have no husband
they will be jinx by us
no matter what
nobody dare to marry us... and
i cannot bear to part with our family wealth
This... no one wanted to marry...
Lady, I think this cannot do
why don't you get a son-in-law to marry into your family?
Can't
I asked a few fortune teller
they claimed that 4 of us have the same fate
we are fated to have no husband
we need a man fated to have no wife, no home
and no career to be my son-in-law
in order to have a lasting marriage
you are right to ask about this matter
Bajie is the expert...
no...
Second senior, you used to be match maker?
Who's a match maker?!
I'm not a match maker
I was somebody's son-in-law for 3 years
but since I followed Master and become his disciple
now I have no wife
this is just great
all 3 of you can come out now
Yes
our respects to 4 elders
Greetings
alright, you may go back in
yes
Elders, as monks
you are fated to have no wife, no home and no career
and there are 4 of you
just like what the fortune teller said
this must be Heaven's fate for
4 of you to be married to us
right... its heaven's fate... if not, this
Amitabha
I sweared to go to the west for the Sutras
I have no second thoughts
I heard that the road to the west is long
and dangerous
with demons lurking
normal human cannot bear with it
there's a rumor around
saying that if a demon ate your flesh
they can live a long life
thousands of demons would be waiting for their chance
to eat your flesh
don't be afraid, there are 3 of us disciples
my Master will not be eaten
even if you will met with difficulties
and reach your destination, got your Sutras
what can you gain?
We will benefit the people and fulfill their wishes
but who among them will be grateful to you?
The common people have worked for most of their lives
were only seeking wealth and carefree lives
my family have wealth that can last for 2 generations
if all of you can change your mind
and be son-in-law of our Han family
you can enjoy wealth and save yourself from the trouble
I am a monk
and will not be tempted by wealth
and lust
that's sad... what can you gain to be a monk
Lady...
what have you gain from being at home?
Elder, let me tell you
there's new clothes for 4 seasons
we have a comfortable home
we can eat and have anything we want
we have a warm bed and silk blanket
and enjoys family lives
you enjoyed a good life at home
you are well provided for and with your family
it's good
but as a monk, I focus on my trainings
Outside matters do not quarrel,
the body will have its own yin and yang.
When I have accomplished my task, I will be happy
it's better than being at home eating greedily
and devouring flesh
as you will end up with nothing but your body in the end
Monk, you are rude
since you are from faraway, I will not chase you out
I'm sincere in hosting you
and treated all of you with respects
but you insulted me with your speech
even if you are firm in your monkshood promises
but your disciple may not have the same thoughts
can't I have them as my son-in-law?
You may ask them
I don't want o be a son-in-law
if I'm not a monk
I would rather be a King in my Flower-Fruit mountain
who cares to be your son-in-law
Bajie, you are suitable for this task
I'm not this kind of person... this... this... this
that... Junior Sha
since you spent the shortest time with Master
you don't have deep feelings with him
why don't you stay?
I don't want to
I have been enlightened by Bodhisattva
I'm glad that Master took me in and teaches me
I have been a monk for less than 2 months
I have no achievement
how could I hanker for wealth and glory
I wouldn't do that
right
since all of you refuse to stay
Someone
ask the 4 elders to rest in the guest room
This... Master... this
look at that, Junior Sha, its all your fault
why did you offend the Lady
look, we cannot even get a meal
no meals? You can be her son-in-law
and you can eat to your fill everyday
Master, I don't mean that
I... I'm saying
come
I Pigsy must be
so hungry that I'm getting dizzy
its all Master's fault
why must you say those words?
I'm so hungry
I... I shall look for some food
Elder
you must be hungry
I prepared some food for you
please eat some
go
yes
thanks for your alms, I'm not hungry
I still have to do my reciting
Kind lady, please excuse me
Elder, why are you so anxious to send me away
and this is my home
I will stay and go according to my own will
isn't it?
Elder, are you still angry with my mother
Why don't I
perform a dance for you as apology
Elder, how is my dance
if you don't look at me
are you afraid to see me...
you may sin and cannot be a monk anymore
if I'm wrong
do raise your head
look at me carefully
Elder, do you think I'm beautiful?
I cannot tell
a monk cannot lie
so... you dare not speak the truth
in my eyes, you are no different from a skeleton
is skeleton beautiful or not
monk, you just don't want to answer me
what we see may not be the truth
that's why, I have nothing to comment
may no be the truth?
Elder
but I am a person who
is here...
right in front of you
you can see
and can touch
tell me...
why am I not the truth?
Amitabha
Forget it.
You are still chanting.
Good monk, he's not disturbed
he still remembers where he stops
and continue chanting
You... who are you?
Why are you in my bed?
Amitabha
I lost my husband while young
that's why I can't sleep at night
please cure my sickness
I'm a monk
I'm not a physician... I can't cure you
Amitabha
a man and woman should not touch each other
please refrain yourself
Amitabha
Aren't you a monk?
Why aren't you benevolent?
I want to follow my Master to the west
please don't pester me
West is no good
must you go?
I... l... I don't know what is good
my Master is going to the west for the Sutras
as his disciple, I must follow him
it seems that you are loyal to your Master
what if your Master died on the way, what should you do?
With Big senior around, he will protect my Master
what if your Master hate you
and chased you away, what should you do?
Little monk, listen to me
stay here and share a good life with me
that's the best choice
you should get out now
if not, I would not be polite to you
I'm surprised that
a girl can be so daring
Oh no, Master is in danger
Junior Sha... I say
in the middle of the night
what are you doing with your weapon?
Second senior... there's trouble
the women in this house are demons
let us tell Big senior
Are you alright?
He has Fiery Eyes
and could identify them with one look
he's not saying anything
why are you so anxious? ... you are really
think about it carefully
a girl from a normal family can't be so daring
they must be demons
they must be eying Master and wanted to eat him
Just now, I was holding a...
why did it become a candle?
Second senior, what are you saying?
Right... you are right
let us ask the monkey and discuss with him
right, let us look for big senior
go
that monkey looks so ugly
he should be counting his fortune if I like him
he's not gentle at all
he doesn't understand girls. I'm so angry
let him be a monk for the rest of his life
That...
is the candle
what are you talking about?
Second senior, look
there's a woman in senior's room is there any in your room?
3 candles... of course
I chased them away
I'm not that kind of person
what candle are you talking about
in my opinion... even if they are not demons
they must have evil motives
we should go and protect Master
why are you doing all these?
Watch the luggages, Master
is under the protection of the monkey
I... this...
where are you going?
I... I will feed the horse
I will eat the grasses... light the candle
they wanted Junior Sha
and even that ugly, stinky monkey
too
I'm the only one left behind
my Cui Lan (ex-wife) is better... she don't mind my look
that Elder only knows about chanting
he's not likable
that's right... that Monk Sha is like a block of wood
that Monk Sun is covered with hair and scratches all around
I'm also itching
who can sleep in the same bed with him
They are picking on all of them
except me
let me listen on and hear what they have to say about me
which one are you choosing?
Mother, I think that Monk Zhu is quite alright and cute
Sister, don't vie with me... I like him too
Don't fight with me... I must marry him
I'm eying him too... no, I want him
You... I want
I'm the big sister... mother, look at her
Alright, don't argue and fight
I still must ask Monk Zhu's opinion
I... I'm willingly
Mother... look, so embarrassing
I'm willingly
don't you all like me?
Why did you run away?
Little monk
why are you here?
Mother, I'm on my way to feed the horse
Why did you address me as mother?
I will marry into your family
and you would be my mother
your Master may not let you go
My Master is under imperial edict to obtain the Sutras
and he could not defy orders
but about this matter
my Master said that
if we want to stay
we could
but in front of my brothers
I cannot answer
if that's the reason
please discuss with your Master again
if its alright, I will let you marry into our family
Mother... Master is not my parent
its not up to his decision
I don't need to ask him
that's good
but my daughters are all fighting for you
I need to discuss with them again
so that their sisterly feelings will not be affected
alright, I'll have to trouble you
Big senior, you are back
Congrats, Master
we will have a wedding soon
who's wedding?
Master, I'm back
Bajie, you have fed the horse?
Yes
I gave the horse to her son-in-law
what am I talking about... ahh
Master
Son-in-law wants to discuss something with you
ahh... what 'son-in-law'
I wanted to...
just speak your mind... I
what do you want to discuss?
You want to be her son-in-law?
You... you are talking rubbish
am I such a person?
If you are not...
why are you talking about it with that old woman just now?
You even address her as Mother
you want Master to be your family
and the Lady will be your mother-in-law
I will be your guarantor
and Junior Sha will be your match-maker
since today is a good day
bade farewell to Master and go...
be her son-in-law
that's rubbish... l, Pigsy
I... I'm not doing all these
Idiot, just agree to it quickly
don't put on an act
agreed to it and we could have a wedding
and get something good from it
you...
Monk Zhu
how is it?
Amitabha... Monk Zhu
have you reached an agreement with your Master?
Lady, its good that you are here
this pig... take him as your son-in-law
take him... take him
Master, say something
Brother monkey is maligning me
he's forcing me to be a son-in-law
Bajie, since you don't want to be a monk
I don't want to force you
you shall stay and become a wealthy man
That... Master, I'm innocent
you have wronged me, Master
after all these years, you should understand me
Master
This and that... its so messy
its not your first marriage
just go
Master's order cannot be ignored
Master, take care
Mother, lets go
Mother, walk slowly
slowly... mother
Master
Mother
First bow to Heaven and Earth
Second bow to parent
the couple bow to each other
and...
don't send them to the nuptial room yet
Mother, have some tea
Mother, see
I have gone through the wedding ceremony
and thanked the relatives
among the 3 sisters
which will be married to me?
The 3 sisters were fighting and there's no answer yet
i can't decide yet
as they may blame me
Mother, why don't you
married all of them to me
to save the trouble
you are really greedy
you want to marry all my daughters
Mother, I don't mean anything else
its because...
i want the family to be in harmony
I do have a thought
put this veil on your head
and spin around
i will ask my daughters to walk around you
and you will marry the one you caught
I will follow your idea
that's good... Zhen Zhen, Ai Ai and Ling Ling
come out for the selection
Me too
I'm coming... come... here
come... come... here... come over
I'm coming... don't run... here
come... come... come here
come... come... here
I'm coming
we are here
look at him
all of you are like fishes
so 'slippery'
Monk Zhu, you are fat... and cannot run
and you blame us?
Right... that's right
Alright, you look down on me?
I will catch one of you
I'm coming
come
I will catch...
its killing me
there's 3 of you
but it seems to be more than thousands of you
I'm getting dizzy
Mother
the sisters are too fast
i couldn't catch any
the sisters are giving way to each other
and refuse the marriage to avoid hurting the others
but...
Mother, if the 3 sisters don't want to marry me
Mother, why don't YOU marry me
you are insolent and shameless
i do have another solution
each of them knitted a pearl coat
if you can fit into any of them
the owner will marry you
alright, let me try all 3
and if they fit, I'll marry all
alright
bring your coat
here
this
what are you doing
Monk Zhu, you must be careful
Wujing... Wukong
why are we sleeping here?
Master, are there demons?
Where is WuNeng?
Big senior, why are you laughing
its not demons
its Bodhisattva
Bodhisattva?
Queen mother of Jade pond is not hankering earthly life
Southern Sea Bodhisattva please descend from your mountain
Samantabhadra and Manjusri Bodhisattva are our guests
they have transformed into beautiful woman on earth
Sage monk is wise
Bajie is not too sage
he should change from now on
if not there will be trouble along the way
its Queen Mother and Guan Yin
Manjusri and Samantabhadra Bodhisattva
Big senior, did you know that?
When we were here last night
the manor was filled with deity aura
there must be deities here
but I don't know which deity
you should say so earlier
I was so worried about Master
if I did... Bajie couldn't be a 'son-in-law'
help... Master
its WuNeng, lets go
Big senior, save me... Master, look
Master
you stupid, you should be somebody's son-in-law
why are you tied to a tree?
How improper
I didn't like this either
its those demons
who played a trick on me
Second senior, they are not demons
its 4 Bodhisattva who are testing us
Idiot, you are Bodhisattva's son-in-law
congrats
Master, save me
I won't do it again
even if you break my arms
I would be loyal to Master
and follow you to the west
since you have make up your mind
you must do it with sincerity without second thoughts
but... those Bodhisattva
are too much
they transformed into beautiful women to test me
its hard on me
Bajie, what Bodhisattva did
is not being hard on you
'Heros cannot resist beauties
Beauties cannot resist money
all humans cannot resist the lure of wealth and lust
Master
when brother monkey was a king in his mountain
he don't care about wealth
with regards to the lure of lust
he's only a stone monkey
and he's without that desire
Master...
if I'm a stone monkey
is Wujing a stone fish too?
Nope, Junior Sha is a silly fish
what does he know about wealth and lust?
I don't
but I know that its my task to protect Master to the west
Master, I beg you
release me first... its too tight
without Big senior
are you able to protect Master?
Without me, are you able to
protect Master?
Stupid... you are really talkative
Master
what's wrong, monkey?
All deities and beasts, listen up
Great Sage equals of Heaven is here
make way
for my Master
walk slowly, Master
Wukong, its past afternoon
I'm very hungry
do beg for some alms (food)
We will continue our journey after a meal
Master, you are a living Bodhisattva
you know that after a day of walking
and you pity us
stop talking rot
this area look unsafe
why is it unsafe
its beautiful here
where's the demons?
There's always demons in a big mountain
I can sense them
stop it, you... brother monkey
its broad daylight... where's the demons?
Junior, can you see it
he's playing tricks and avoiding his task to beg for alms
Master, don't listen to him
he's using demons to scare you
Master, punish him
with the 'Head Ring chant'
you... take good care of Master
I will check it out
look... look at him
we know the whereabout of Tang monk
its good fortune
lets go
Madam... madam
now... you can finally devour Tang monk
we hear that Tang monk is reincarnation of Golden Cicada
if we can have a piece of his flesh we can have longevity
even your face...
that's enough, you don't have to continue
but you must be careful about something
his 3 disciple protecting him
one of them is Marshal TianPeng
another is a Heavenly General
and the last one is...
Tell me quickly... who is it?
He's the Great Sage who created havocs in Heaven 500 years ago
Wukong?
Madam, do you know him?
Prince, I have good news for you
Unless I can leave this white bone cave
there's no better news than that
do you really want to leave here?
I replicate your palace here
when you are bored, I get you some companion
what more do you want from me?
I only want my freedom
I hate my father's control over me
but being confined to this cave is worse than that
I want freedom of movement
I want to return and visit my mother
maybe you can do that now
do you mean...
that you can remove the curse on me?
How many times must I repeat myself
I didn't curse you
you can leave anytime
how long are you going to deceive me?
10 years
since you saved me... 10 years ago
I cannot escape from this cave
if I step away for more than 10 steps
I would have a heartache
you were born with a heart problem
and you were bitten by a poison snake
that's why you were feeling sick
alright, let me ask you
if you stay with me
I can move around freely... why?
I don't know
although I'm a demon
but I don't know all the answers in the world
if that's the case, I would have gain enlightenment
already
now... what do you mean when
you said that I can leave
you always think that I placed a curse on you
but I think its Heaven's fate that we meet
we are fated to be together
Madam
you saved me from the snake poison
you are my savior
that's all
just because I'm a demon
that's why you are scared of me, right?
I'm not afraid
because you have not harmed anyone
I know its because of my face
if I can have a real human face you would like me
and would take me to your kingdom to introduce me to your mother
I know I look strange
but its not difficult to be a pretty woman like now
I just don't want to lie to you
i know your intention... but
but you don't understand what I want
you want freedom
I want to give you freedom
but... I must fix my face first
but I have hope now
wait for me
it won't take long
I'm hungry
where is Wukong?
Did they know?
Wukong doesn't know how to scheme
he will only fight face to face I'm sure he's not around
but the other two disciples are not easy target too
let me test them first
Master, someone is here
look Junior Sha
Is it Brother monkey?
Since he's back with the peaches save 2 big ones for me
Master Big senior said that...
there's no families around here
why is there a single lady here?
She could be a demon
Junior Sha, don't talk nonsense
have you seen a demon so pretty?
Let me ask for some food for you
Second Senior
Missy... my respect to you
don't be afraid
I'm just a bit ugly
with a big nose, but I've a good heart
what are you carrying?
Oh, you are a monk, I'm sorry
i have some vegetarian buns in my basket
and some porridge in this vat
I was on my way give alms
this
Master
we are so lucky
the moment we were hungry
we met someone giving alms
Bajie, we have walked for hundreds of miles
but we have not met a single soul
its too much of a coincidence
to meet someone giving alms
that's right
this... this is really just a coincidence
Master
look at her and her nice buns
aren't you hungry? Master
yes, Monkey has gone to pick peaches
even if he's back
those peaches are his favorite food
its not suitable for us
Master
stop it
Master
Lady, where is your home?
What wishes do you have for giving alms
Master, this mountain is known as White Tiger Ridge
my home is at the western foot of this mountain
My parents are still alive and they are Buddhist
who always give alms
but they don't have any sons
that's why they got a son-in-law to marry into our family
since you have your parents and a husband
why are you walking
around here alone?
You may not know
my husband is farming at the northern side
I prepared these lunch for him
my family is poor without maids
my parents are sick that's why I'm delivering these myself
since I met 3 of you here and my parents are always charitable
that's why I wanted to give you some alms
if you don't mind
- no, of course not - please
stop it
back off from my Master
I'm just been nice
but you are so unruly
look here
Lady, don't be offended
both of them are too narrow minded
if they don't want to eat, I will
Bajie
Master, can you please stop it
Mercy
thanks for your goodwill
my Big disciple has gone to collect some fruits
we will eat those fruits
and your husband will not be hungry too
that's will be the best scenario
please deliver the lunch quickly
in case it gets cold
why? This
