JOURNEY TO THE WEST Episode 26
King, don't break your rules
eat him first
so noisy... I'll eat you first
stop
you will not get to eat me
Brother Monkey
what are these?
Fish scales...
give chase
oh... good
He must have practiced for many years to gain his human form
by tomorrow, when Big senior strike him out
he will have nothing left
Junior Sha, you must be thinking about yourself right?
In the past, when you were a river demon you ate human too
if Bodhisattva didn't help you...
see... you could end up like this too
Shoo
since I become Master's disciple
I stopped eating meat, not to mention human
Junior Sha, I'm not good with water
you have to help me subdue the demon tomorrow
no problem
Wukong, I'm worried that the demon king
will come tonight to seek revenge
if he dare to come, I've beat him to death
we shall see how he could create trouble
Thank you, Monks
get up... quick
Thank you for saving us, Big Monkey
Monkey? Don't be rude, he's your benefactor
its alright
I AM a monkey
you saved our kids and all the kids in the village
how could we repay you?
That's easy
just start dinner soon
Alright, prepare the food
How dare the Cheng family fool you
with a pair of fake children
I will catch all of them tomorrow
so that you could enjoy them all
I'm not thinking about the Cheng family
but that Tang monk
He's a good man for 10 lifetime
we will be an immortal if we could devour him
its a pity that his disciple are powerful
I don't know what to do
its not difficult to catch Tang monk
but if you manage to catch Tang monk, do give me a bit
if you could do that, I'll make you my sworn sister
and we will share Tang monk
speak up quickly
King, listen to me
good
its late, you are not asleep yet?
Its snowing so heavily tonight
its the starting of 8th month
every year, we will have snow starting from now
but its a first to have such heavy snowing
how could we travel in such heavy snow
if you are not in a hurry...
my food could last everyone for 1/2 year
Sir, you didn't know
it has been 3 years since I started the journey under order
but I've not seen Buddha's face yet
if I still delay, I wonder...
when will I complete the task and return to my home
don't worry, I sent someone to check out the situation
we will notify you if we could cross the river
Master... How is it? Could we cross the river?
Its alright, the river is frozen now
everyone is walking on top of the river
Master, the ice look strong, let's cross it
alright, let's cross the river
Master, wait
take this and walk slowly
Idiot
you choose this yourself
why are you asking Master to hold it?
Brother monkey, you don't know because
you have not walked on ice before
and you don't know why
right? If you don't have this, you could fall into the hole
if you use this to protect yourself, you will be safe,
Master
Bajie, its a good idea
Master also think that its a good idea
- I'll kill you if you continue - you monkey
let's cross the river quickly
so that you could capture that demon king
in case he seeks revenge with that family
let's go. Come, Master
Master, slowly
Junior Sha, take the horse
careful, be careful
Idiot, walk quickly
if you walk, you will take 3 days to cross the river
if you still do that, I'll chase you like a horse
ouch, its so painful
if we continue walking along this 800 miles of river
my bottom will be broken into 800 pieces
Second senior, walk slowly to avoid falling
my bottom
Brother monkey...
Master, go ahead... Brother monkey
my bottom...
- its so painful - get up
see what you have done
if I'm walking slowly
you want to beat me
if I walked fast, I'll fall all over
what should I do?
Alright, stop the nonsense, just go
let's go... slowly
oh no, the ice is broken by second senior
what's the nonsense
could I do that even if I'm fat
geez... Master
Wukong
Where's Master?
Master
oh no... Master has sunken to the bottom
Great King
I got Tang monk locked in the stone cave
Sister, your idea is really good
you used my power to change the weather
to catch the Tang monk alive without any trouble
Little ones... Yes
get a knife and skin that monk
I'll share the meat with my sister and will live forever
Yes... Great King
don't eat him first
why?
His 3 disciples are powerful and will come for him
we will wait for his disciples and settled them
before we cut up the monk
be it steaming or frying
you will be high and mighty
while we perform for you
and we will enjoy the meat in ease
isn't it better?
That's great
alright, we shall follow sister's idea
although I can't eat that pair of children
but I got Tang monk's flesh instead
its a better deal... a better deal
Sirs... I thought you crossed the river, Why are you back?
Where's the Sage monk?
He fell into the river
this time, Master has really fallen into bottom of the river
but...
I advised you to stay for a few more days. Now...
Yes, that's right...
Idiot, what rubbish
the frozen river must be the trick to capture my Master
its my fault for not noticing that
and we fell for their trick
sir, you chased all the monks away
if not, we could have a ritual for you Master
what ritual? My Master is still alive!
Just watch over my stuff and horse
while i go and subdue this demon
and return peace to all of you too
Thank you
Please go, we will look after your things carefully
Bajie, Monk Sha, let's save Master now
Let's go, quick
this demon do have some powers
In the day, its a frozen river
At night, its a river again
no demon is my match
but... both of you must discuss
see who will go down and fight the demon first
Brother monkey, among us, you are most powerful
why don't you go in first?
Why let us go first?
Its like sending us to our death
if its a mountain demon, you don't have to bother
but its in the water, that's why I can't go
if I need to chant the waterproof chant
I can't use my staff
Both of you are accustomed in water, you should go
Big senior, I could go but...
I don't know the condition in there
why don't I carry you on my back and go together
and you sneak in to check out the place
before we fight them
you are right
so, which one of you will carry me?
Junior Sha, wait... let me do it, Brother Monkey
Alright... you will do it
Quick
this monkey has tricked me several times
see how I make fun of him
Big senior
there's lots of fish
the stinky monkey likes to make fun of us
now its our turn to make fun of him
Second senior, you seems to be a bit too much
What do you mean?
Where's the monkey?
Oh no... is he dead?
Senior... Monkey
Monkey
I'll kill you
- Brother monkey - Don't run... watch me
Brother monkey... Senior
- you idiot - its my fault...
how dare you make fun of me!
But you said that along this journey
we can't do without having fun
isn't it?
Seniors, stop it
I thought we are at the river?
Why are we here?
The water is so shallow, is this the river?
It should be...
there's a strong demonic aura here
Master must be around here
let's look around
junior, you go there... you go there
I'll go there
Seniors
this must be their home
but I wonder what is inside
there's no water inside
both of you hide here, while I enter and check
they treated Master like a pig
but luckily, they didn't harm him
Master?
Master... are you there?
Master?
My good disciple, I knew you will save me
wait a minute, I'll get you out now
wait... I'm not good in water
If I alert the demons while saving Master
we can't escape too
Master, can you bear with it?
I could hold on for another day
I'll run out of air if there's more delay
don't panic, we don't need
more than 1 day to subdue the demons
and we will return for you
be back soon... yes
Senior... how is it?
Did you see Master?
Yes, Master is alright
But he's trapped in a stone box
both of you shall go and fight them
if you can't win them, lure them here
and see how I deal with them
remember that? Yes
Second senior, let's go and fight the demons
Yes, lets go
good if we could win them
if not... let's RUN
Demon release my Master now
if not, we will boil your river
That's right... we will cook all of you
open the door... come out
who's making all the noise?
You just spoken to me the other night
now you forgotten me?
I'm 'Jin' from Cheng family
forgotten about me?
You are really rude, monk
how dare you pretend to be Jin
you hurt me even when I didn't eat you
and now, you dare to create trouble here?
What trouble?
You created all those winds and rain
and even captured my Master
what the crap
send our Master out quickly
if not...
we will not let you off
you monk
that day I'm without my weapon
that's why you got the upper hand
let me inform you...
if you want to take your Master away
we will fight 300 rounds
if you win, I'll return your Master
if not, I'll eat you too
stop the crap... watch me
come on
Second senior, can you handle them?
No
let's run
its good if we could win
if not, we will run
go
you are too disloyal... wait for me
I'll eat you
where do you think you could run?
Quick... you can't escape
Go
Demon, hand over my Master quickly
right, hand him over
if you want to save your Master
win my pair of silver weights
what is that? Just a pair of scrap metal
you ignorant monkey
these are from the Deity Lotus Pond
and I used my power to create them
any other weapons are useless compared to them
that's crap
in front of Sun Wukong's golden staff
everything else is scrap metal
watch me
this demon is not very powerful
expect for his silver weights
juniors, go down and catch him
Senior, this demon is so-so on shore
but he's good in the water
both of us could only be on par with him
but he won't come up and I can't go down
what should we do?
Brother monkey
alright, let's do this
both of us will go down
we will lure him here again
you will hide better
and wait for him in the mid sky
after he's out, you will hit him from the top
even if you cannot kill him
you could make him dizzy
I would move up and shovel him
and he will be dead
that's not a bad idea
let's go quickly, in case...
he vent his anger on Master and ate him
Brother monkey, see that?
He's clever too... Go
Great King, have you caught the 2 monks?
Let's not mention those 2
their helper on shore is more important
my sliver weights are not his match
I could only return in defeat
Great King
is that helper a hairy faced fellow?
A monk with fiery eyes?
How did you know?
Great King, when I'm at the Eastern Sea Dragon King's palace
I heard about him
He's the Great Sage who created
chaos in Heaven 500 years ago
Now, he's a monk
and protects Tang monk
and is known as Monk Sun
He's powerful and full of transformation
Great King
don't fight with him again
but what if he came here instead?
What should we do?
Great King
those 2 monks are here again
Sister, what should we do now?
Don't panic, King... let us
close the door tightly
and don't open the door
let them shout outside the door
and they will go away soon
after which... we will enjoy Tang monk slowly
Alright, all of you remember this
use stones and mud to seal the doors
do it quickly
seal it... quick
great king
don't worry, if they don't go, we will not go out
we won't go out if they don't leave... Great King
that's right
Second senior
demon, send our Master out
send him out
why are you hiding like a tortoise
come on out
come out
Second senior
he didn't respond... it seems that he's afraid to come out
really?
I'll tear down his door... see where he could hide
Second senior, its a trap... run!
That demon sealed his door and refuse to come out
what should we do?
I think we need to think of another way to save Master
this demon is really clever
he refuse to budge
what... what should we do?
Oh right... I will look for Bodhisattva and ask her
about this demon
will capture all his relatives
and force him to return our Master
but how could Bodhisattva know this demon?
You idiot
didn't you hear him just now?
His weapons are form the Lotus Pond
there should be some connection
its under her area of control
senior, how long will you take?
If the demon ate Master... what should we do?
Don't worry, I'll be back soon
watch him closely to prevent him from escaping
alright
I'm gone
you stinky monkey, how could you go like that
Great Sage, why are you here?
I've something urgent to look for Bodhisattva
She left the cave for the Purple Forest
but knew that you are coming
and instructed us to wait for you here
you cannot see her and must wait for her
Bodhisattva must be related to this demon
Great Sage, don't talk nonsense
how could she is related to the demon?
If not, why is she avoiding me?
It for the safety of my Master
I need to see Bodhisattva, please let her know
she has instructed us previously
so, I dare not disobey
Sudhana
its due to me that you could train under Bodhisattva
you own me one
go and ask her for me
I dare not
you...
how dare you forget me after you become an immortal
I will go myself
This Sun Great Sage was punished by Buddha
and was pinned under the mountain for 500 years
but his rash personality has not changed a bit
Disciple Sun Wukong pays his respects to
Bodhisattva
Wukong, wait outside
my Master is in trouble
I'm here to check the demon's origin
please go outside now and wait for me
Bodhisattva, my Master will be cooked soon
and yet you are working on your handicraft here,
ignoring me
wait outside
if my Master was eaten, we will disband
I will return to Flower-fruit mountain and be my King again
its just a waste of my 7-8 years time
you are the one who made me a monk under my Master
you will be held responsible
Wukong
Alright, I'll wait outside
the demons are preparing the stove to steam my
Master
Great Sage, don't worry
no... no, no
the water is boiling and
they are throwing my Master in now
you... you
Great Sage, why don't you sit down and wait
Bodhisattva knows what she's doing
she won't get Tang monk into danger
he eat raw meat
maybe he will not bother to steam or cook
my Master and eat him raw too
Master
its not my fault for not saving you
you are not fated with Bodhisattva
when you are in Hades
don't complain to King of Hades about me
its not my fault
its Bodhisattva, its all her fault
Wukong
Bodhisattva, I'm not talking bad behind your back
don't ignore my Master
stop the talking, we will save Tang monk together
don't panic, there's ample time for you
to make yourself pretty
we don't need to change clothes, just go now
she must be related to that demon
Wukong, aren't you coming? Coming
Junior Sha, monkey has been gone for a long time
why haven't he return yet?
That's right...
if there's a delay, even Bodhisattva could not save
Master's life
Bajie
Second Senior, see
its the life saving Bodhisattva
Senior must have gotten Bodhisattva out in a rush
that's great... lets welcome her
our respects to Guan Yin Bodhisattva
Bodhisattva, they will go into the water to lure that demon out
its not necessary
Junior Sha... this
Retrieve
Wukong, get into the water and save your Master
Bodhisattva, how do I save my Master
if you didn't subdue that demon?
Isn't the demon here in this basket?
This
the demon is in that basket?
Its just a small fish demon, why is it so powerful?
That's right
he's a goldfish in my Lotus Pond
he become trained after listening to my chants
Those silver weights were lotus flower bud
and he made them into weapons
and he came to earth
this morning when I went to see the flowers
I didn't see him
and came to know that he has become a demon here
and he even tried to harm your Master
without dressing up
I rushed to finish this basket to subdue him
Bodhisattva, I was right... I knew that this demon was yours
its a tribulation that your Master need to suffer
being trapped in the cave box for 2 days
save your Master quickly
I'll return to Southern sea
Bodhisattva, wait... don't go yet
the residents here has been offering to this demon
they won't believe us
if we said that the demon has been subdued
we will gather the residents here to see you
and they will believe us
alright
go ahead
Bajie, Monk Sha... quick
go to the Chen village to gather them
while I save Master
Alright, let's go... Junior Sha
Let's go
Master, I'm here to save you
Wukong
Come on, Master
Our respects to Guan Yin Bodhisattva
Bodhisattva is beautiful
don't be rude and offend Bodhisattva
bow to her quickly
but she is beautiful... I'm not lying
That's right, Bodhisattva is like the girl-next-door
but prettier
that's right, the children are speaking the truth
Bodhisattva must be happy to hear those words right?
Your disciple, Tripitaka pays his respect to Bodhisattva
Tripitaka, the journey to the west will be dangerous
and its going to get harder, are you still going?
Despite the difficulty, if I'm still alive
I'll overcome all the problems and will not give up
alright, Tripitaka, you must remember
the journey will be difficult
but its a tribulation to help you gain karma
hope that you will not give up
and be successful soon
I understand your teaching
Farewell, Guan Yin Bodhisattva
Sir
thanks to you, our village is rid of this demon
and we could see Bodhisattva herself
how could we repay you
hope that all of you will stay for few more days with us
a few more days with us
Great Sage, you don't need a boat, I'll ferry you over
if you dare to come forward, I'll kill you
Great Sage...
why are you beating me when I offer to ferry you all?
I don't know you...
Great Sage, this river used to be my home
the demon came a few years ago and i was defeated by him
That's why he took over my home
and today, you tried to save your Master and got
Bodhisattva to subdue this demon, so I got my home back
now my family can be together again
this is great kindness to me
I have to return this favor
is that the truth?
I won't dare to lie to you, Great Sage
If I'm not sincere in this offer, I'll die
Master, let's go
Alright
let's go, Master
everyone, I'm leaving
goodbye, Sage monk
we have reached... thanks
we are here? Slowly, Master
let's go
quicker
Old tortoise... thank you
I don't have anything to give you
wait till I got th Sutras and will return to thank you
please don't bother
but do ask Buddha something on my behalf
please speak
I've been practicing for 1300 years
I could speak but cannot remove my shell
do ask Buddha... when can I remove my shell
and gain a human form
its easy
I will do that
Thank you, Sage monk
go
Master
we have suffered for few days
to reach the other shore why are you signing?
The old tortoise still cannot gain a human form
after training for 1300 years
its really difficult
if Master did not take me as disciple
I could be the same as him
let's move on with our journey... if not
we will camp in the open again
let's go
Master, you first... slowly
Slowly, Master
Junior Sha, follow up... Yes, Second senior
my disciples
today, we are cold and hungry
luckily, there's a house there
there must be a family there
let's go and ask for some alms before we move on
Master, that house has an evil aura
we cannot enter
you... your fiery eyes must have a problem
now... you see everything as demon
Master is right
that's a family
but you see them as demons?
You see everything as demon
stop it
let's listen to Wukong
but... I'm really hungry
Master, if you are hungry, I'll ask for alms
Brother, look after Master
I'll be back soon
Senior, don't worry, we will wait for you here
Master, this is a dangerous trip
I'll give you a safety charm
my ring is like metal walls
demons or beasts cannot enter
but, don't leave this ring
or else, you will be in danger, do remember
