JOURNEY TO THE WEST Episode 23
Attack! Kill!
Son, it sure is hard trying to get you come out.
Monkey, you really don't know what's good for you
after gaining some advantages. You are still unsatisfied
you even broke my door... do you know your crime?
You cheated me first, I haven't settle the scores yet
don't run if you have the guts
watch out for my Fire
my son, your parents have a hard time raising you
why are you always doing that?
You have been calling me 'your son'
its getting on my nerves, don't you run away
lets have 200-300 rounds of fight!
Come if you have the ability... come up
alright, wait for me
I will roast this monkey for all of you
don't run
come! Don't run
Monkey Sun
Monkey, don't run
don't run, stop
stop, don't try to run away
are you helping this monkey?
Why aren't you talking?
I'm asking you!
Are you his helper?
You are a mute?!
Why aren't you answering me?
Watch my spear
All of you are scare of me.
Bodhisattva, why didn't you answer him?
And even lost your lotus seat
stop your nonsense, I have my plan
Sun Wukong, who do you think I am?
Your helper was scared off by my spear
and ran away without her lotus seat too
let me enjoy this seat
Bodhisattva, you even gave away your lotus seat?
Not bad, this lotus seat is quite fun
look at that demon, he really fits that lotus seat
that's exactly what I wanted
watch that
Up
Oh no, its a trap
Red Child, are you submitting to me?
No way!
Bodhisattva, look, he's running away
use your power to subdue him
you... return my spear to me, quick
you have no choice now
beg for mercy now
Red Child, now you know Bodhisattva's power
I was also cheated by Buddha in the past
and was pinned under the mountain for 500 years
listen to my advise and repent
you cannot escape
join Buddhism and you can be released now
Bodhisattva, I know my mistake now
please spare me
and be mercy, Bodhisattva
Bodhisattva, be mercy
are you willingly to follow me?
Yes, if you spare my life
will you come under me?
Yes, if you spare me
if so, prepare to follow me
Thank you, Bodhisattva
you demon... are you a boy or girl now?
Since you have chosen to follow me
I will not let you down
you shall be my Golden boy, understand?
Yes, I understand
Stop
Guan Yin, what powers do you think you have to subdue me?
Its just some small tricks
I'm happy as the King of this mountain
why should I follow you?
Demon, how dare you
watch me
Wukong, don't harm him
This treasure was given to me by Buddha
to search for someone to obtain Sutras from the west
there are 3 of them
Wukong, you wore 1
I used another to subdue mountain deity
I couldn't bear to use this last one
I shall give this to him
Go
Demon, hear my chant
Hey, I'm helping you to subdue a demon here
why are you punishing me with the chant?
The chant is different, it'll only works on him only
You scared me.
Be good, Bodhisattva was worried that you will not grow
that's why she gave you these rings
Sun Wukong, watch out
Bodhisattva, chant on
Combine.
Red Boy,
what else do you have to say for yourself?
Bodhisattva, I know my mistake
please spare me
Wukong.
This demon has been subdued.
But he's still wild at heart
I will make him bow and kneel all the way to Buddha mountain
to subdue him completely
You should go and save your Master now.
Thank you.
Oh no...
Great King has been subdued by Guan Yin Bodhisattva
Sun Wukong is coming!
Everyone, let's leave!
Master! Brother Monkey is coming to save us!
Help! Brother Monkey!
Master, are you okay?
Amitabha
that little kid is so ignorant
did he think that he can sit in Bodhisattva's lotus seat?
Do you know why she don't sit on other flowers?
Don't know, but I have heard that
Lotus is scared and pure
that's right, lotus stays pure despite growing from mud
the spirit of Lotus is Bodhisattva's spirit
to become a Bodhisattva
she must experience more than 10,000 tribulations
actually she is sitting on knives
without endurance, one can never be a Bodhisattva
the word endurance has a 'knife' on top
its not easy to be a Bodhisattva
its not a knife but thousands of them!
That's right, the word 'endurance'
all of you must study that well
that red child was lucky to become Bodhisattva's follower
its alike to attaining enlightenment
but he did so many wrong in the past
this is like a shortcut for him
Brother monkey, do you mean that
you have got Master but you are doing things the longer way
Wukong, that Red Child is only bad with his words
compared to you, he didn't kill anyone
Master, he was thinking of killing and devouring you
if he did, you won't have a chance to save me
that's right, he was more keen to kill me
because I'm a demon
Bajie, if you stop talking nonsense
and Wukong, that Red Child become what he is
because his parents didn't teach him well
we need patience to teach a child like him
if you fight with him head-on, you won't have a happy ending
Master, I've learn
Junior Sha, what are you laughing about?
I think its difficult for you to do that
Bajie, Brother monkey... beat him
don't you run... stand there
the seniors are bullying me again Master, save me!
Stop there... Master!
Master, look there
there's a city there
it seems to be covered with bright aura
there must be good souls there
that's great, city means vegetarian meals
lets hurry
Stop.
I thought I heard something
I think so too.
Is it demons again, waiting to eat us?
Let's go and see.
Let's go.
Careful, Master.
Master, look.
Careful.
Hurry and go!
Why are the monks doing such hard works
Why are those Taoist monks whipping them?
Master, I heard that some places are
favoring priests over monks
Is it this place?
Let's go and ask.
Will they tell the truth even if you ask?
That's easy.
Hurry up!
No slacking off!
Hurry. No slacking off.
Hurry and go!
Greetings, Taoist monks.
Sir, you are?
I'm just passing by
may I ask for the best place to ask for some alms
you look very unfamiliar to me, you must be from afar
just go to the King
and he will give you food and money
food and money?
Its a known fact that our King love priest
Is the king a Taoist monk?
No.
Its because 20 years ago, this country has a severe drought
the King asked the monks to pray for rain
but they can't do it despite trying for more than 6 months
and at that moment, 3 priests came and created rain
may I ask for their names?
Our senior Master is known as Deity of Tiger Power
second Master is Deity of Elk Power
third Master is Deity of Antelope Power
they are so powerful that they can control the weather
that's why the King, his ministers and
all people are convinced by their powers
the King has made them the Court advisors and
these monks are building their house now
these monks can't get the rain and food was wasted on them
the court was furious and tear down their temple
and made them work for us
like slaves to order around
Master wanted us to keep watch here
they could die but cannot escape from these works
Brother, why are you here?
I came here to look for someone.
I have an uncle who is a monk since young
and he never returned after so many years
I wanted to know if he's still alive
can I search for him there?
Alright, if you can find him, I will let him go
Thank you.
All monks stand out.
All others go rest.
Hurry and go!
Please go ahead... thanks
Master, please spare me
all of us are working hard, no one less
I'm not your supervisor, I'm looking for my relative
relative?
Master, is it me?
Look at all of you stupid monks
why don't you run away instead of
bearing with the hardships here?
Master, we can't run away
those priests got our face sketches and paste them around
although this place is big
but there's a monk list everyplace
those with government title get 3 promotions
if they caught a monk
the commoners will get 50 silver tails too
that's why we cannot escape
and we cannot do anything about it
we can only work hard here
you might as well die
master, there's death!
There's about 2000 odds monks
about 600-700 have died of sickness
700-800 have killed themselves
only left with 500 of us now
actually, we wanted to die too
but we didn't succeed
what, you can't even die?
Yes, that's right.
Tried hanging, but the rope broke.
Tried to cut our throats, but there's no blood.
Tried submerging in a lake, but we couldn't drown.
Tried poisoning, but we couldn't die.
You guys must be lucky.
You guys have immortality?
Master, you are wrong, we are suffering here
Yes. Yes.
We sleep here everyday and deities will come in our dreams
they advised us to wait for a monk from Eastern land
the monk has a disciple known as
Great Sage equals to Heaven
and was a person who undo unjust affairs in this world
We're waiting for him to come.
To get rid of those wicked people.
And make the King revive Buddhism
Good. Good.
Brother, what happened?
He's not looking for his relative
Let's go and take a look.
Let's go.
Brother
Which one is your relative?
All these 500 people are my relatives.
What?
Are you joking?
How could you have so many relatives?
100 are my left neighbors 100 are my right neighbors
100 are my father's neighbors 100 are from my mother's clan
100 of them are my friends. Release them for me!
How dare you create trouble here, get out of here
how dare you
If you don't leave, we'll kill you!
You priests, how dare you kill
so what if we kill you
Hurry and leave!
Don't be scared.
I'm here to protect you.
Ah... save us?
I'm that disciple of Tang monk, Sun Wukong
I came here to save you.
Just go and tomorrow, when I see the king
I will ask him to remove those evil priests
Go. Go.
Why aren't you two leaving?
Oh, no.
You've killed the king's relatives.
King's relatives?
Who?
Their Master are our country's adviser
and they are so powerful that even the King
has to give way to hem
but you killed their disciples
I'm not afraid
even the Jade Emperor are scared of me
its only 2 disciples of a priest
Sage Sun, we wanted to see Tang monk
Wants to meet my Master?
Seems that its difficult to cross this country
Master, please relax
Sage Sun is a deity, he's powerful
I'm sure he can ensure your safe passage to the west
its built by our founder king
that's why its not demolished
while the other temples were already demolished
we would like to invite Sage monk to stay in our temple
by tomorrow, Sage Sun will know what to do
what can he do?
He killed those 2 taoist, the 3 advisors will not let us off
Senior did well, those taoist killed so many monks
don't they deserve it?
Junior Sha, don't say anymore
lets go to the temple and let Master settle down first
This way please, we will inform our abbot
Master.
- Hurry. - Junior Sha, catch up.
Coming, second sect brother.
I recognize you, you are...
Great Sage Equals to Heaven, Grandpa Sun
we saw you in our dream every night
Great White Deity always came to our dream
and told us that we will be saved if you came
today, seeing your good self
you looked the same in the dream
Grandpa, you came at the right time
if you came later, we would become ghosts
Master... You...
get up... we will talk later
This is my Master.
These two are Bajie and Monk Sha.
Amitabha
Please.
Master, careful.
Please.
Cui Lan...
Cui Lan
Stupid fat pig!
So noisy!
So, it's three animal demons.
Its not easy to gain human forms
instead of practicing their way, they killed so many monks
and they pretending to be taoist priest
Junior Sha.
Who is it?!
Get up.
What is it?
Why aren't you sleeping?!
Why come bother me?!
I'll take you for some late night snack.
Late night snack?
Good, late night snack is good.
Not so loud.
Don't disturb Master.
Why such a strong wind tonight?
Yes, it's so strong.
Let's all leave.
Go. Go.
Bajie, look.
Food... Junior Sha, eat some.
What kind of place is this?
You're too stupid, Monk Sha.
Brother Monkey, he doesn't know.
Look at him.
The stupid Monk Sha.
What kind of eyesight you have?
Didn't you recognize it?
The one in the middle is Grand Priest Deity
the left one if Treasure Taoist Deity
the one on the right is the Great Elder Deity
Brother Monkey, look at him.
Brother Monkey, why did you lead us here?
Fool! Can't even food stop you from talking?!
I'll tell you later.
But...
Demons...
Where are they?
Inside.
There are demons inside.
Elder sect brother, someone's coming.
Don't panic.
I'll hide...
Why are you panicking?
What should we do?
Do what?
Don't panic...
Let us turn into them.
That's right! I understand now.
One, two, three. Transform.
While we're chanting a strong wind came in.
It must be demons!
That's impossible, in this country
you have the 3 of us here
who dares to come
that's right, even the King fears us
who dares to create trouble
Senior, lets take a look inside
What's going on here?
Look at this.
There's no one here... who ate these
it seems to be eaten by human
they even peeled the skin and removed the seeds
but we don't see anyone
Senior, maybe its because we chants everyday
it attracts the attention of the 3 deities
and they ate these food
This might be possible.
3 deities... today, you visited us
but we didn't receive you well
Please forgive us.
The 3 of us are pious and are respectful of you
please grant us more treasures and powers
to help us to spread Taoist in this country
please be merciful
Senior, we seems to be too much to stay
and receive their bows instead of leaving
they don't look simple, they must be the 3 advisors
we may not have the chance to leave if its true
Little disciples... stop praying
I came from the Peach Banquet and
I don't have my treasures with me
will visit again another day
its them... its them
its great fortune to see you, do grant us the way to immortal
since we came here, we have vindicated
this country of monks and promoted taoist
since great deities are here today
do leave us some sage water to increase our lifespan
Brother monkey, we are in deep trouble now
we will just give it to them
where can we get the sage water?
Get some containers
great... lets get the containers
Thank you...
Hurry.
Sage water? Big senior...
where can we get that?
Don't you have any urine?
- Pee. - Yes, pee.
I'll use this.
What... what about me?
Junior Sha, hurry up.
Brother Monkey.
- I'll use this. - Ha... ha... fool.
Little deities, come and get the water.
There's sage water!
Let's go in!
Yes...
thanks for your rewards
Brothers, drink it.
Distribute it to everyone.
No more than one sip.
Only one sip! Heard me?!
Hey, it tastes strange.
Yes, it does taste strange.
What taste is this?
It has a sour taste.
Let me taste it.
Here, try it.
How is it?
It does have a stinky sour taste.
Maybe it's suppose to taste like this.
Here, you try it.
It tasted the same when I tried it.
Is this sage water?
Who?!
Stupid idiots.
You just drank our pee.
Who are you three?!
Why did you play us?!
Capture them!
Let's go.
Where did they go?
Those 3 wild monks... how dare you tricked us?
I want you to die a horrible death
your Majesty, there's 4 monks outside from the
great eastern Tang, they are here to get their travel pass
and they are now outside the palace
those monks are seeking death to come here
Constables, why didn't you catch them?
Your Majesty, Great Tang is Southern territory
and they are a great and big country
to get here, they must have encountered lots of demons
and they must be powerful
since they are guest from afar
please let them pass and gain good karma
you are right, Grand Master
summon those monks here
Summon the monks into the palace!
Master, be careful.
He looks like a good monk.
He looks so strange.
Amitabha, my respects to your majesty
Bring me the royal seat.
Yes.
3 advisors are here
oh no, our nemesis are here
Advisors, I have not summoned you
why are you here?
Get them a seat
Thank you, my majesty.
Please have a seat.
Advisors, please speak your mind
We are here to report something to your Majesty
Where did these four monks come from?
They are from the Great Tang and
was on their way to the west for Sutras
and they are here for travel passes
I thought they left already.
Instead, they are here.
Why did you said that? Did they offend you?
Your Majesty, they arrived yesterday
and killed 2 of my disciples
and even released 500 monks
sneaked into our place and make trouble last night
they even ate our offerings
we even thought that they are deities
and asked for sage water for your Majesty
but they actually use urine to trick us
its a small world to see them here
Monk!
How dare you tricked our advisors
somebody, get these 4 monks
and executed them now
to appease our advisors... Yes
wait... please be appeased, your Majesty
allow me to say a few words
you fooled our advisors... its akin to death penalty
What else is there to say?
I came from afar and don't know your advisors
why would I fool them?
Yes, we just came and was unfamiliar
how do we know about their place?
If we did gave urine to you
why didn't you catch us on the spot?
Instead of framing us here
Besides, there's lots of monks in the world.
Why it has to be us?
Yes...
Majesty, you have to investigate this.
Yes, investigate.
The monk's words made senses
your Majesty, why are you helping them?
This year, we are having a drought
and the harvest are damaged
Tang monk...
do you know why I respect Taoist and eliminated Buddhism?
Its because when we requested for rain
our monks didn't get any rain
luckily, our advisors got rain for us
do you dare to compete with them in praying for rain?
If you could do it, I will spare your lives
and let you pass
if not... I will execute you in public
we are willingly to compete with the monk
to eliminate those monks
and spread our Taoist powers
Advisors, be it Monks or Priests
we are all fellow followers of the Way
we shouldn't fight with each other
we should be doing our part well
why is there a need to fight?
Is it because you're scared?
Your Majesty, I know how to pray for rain
let me try
alright, I shall see it for myself
lets move to the Five Phoenix platform
