It's been 500 years after
the Monkey King's havoc in heaven
The Mercy Goddess proclaims
the Buddha's decree
and appoints Xuanzang,
a little monk from Chang'an
to go to the West
and fetch the Buddhist scriptures
Where is it over there?
I heard an old man say
it's called Double Boundary Mountain
It's used to be called
Five Elements Mountain
Five Elements Mountain
Holy monk! Holy monk!
Get down now!
Hold on, hold on!
What shall we do with the white horse?
So what do you think?
You're well-built. Why
don't you go save him?
- What? You take care then.
- What a nerd!
We won't meet again!
Mr. Tiger
This horse has a touching story
He was an imperial horse
but he's now in this tough
and long journey with me
And he has family, just like you do
So why not...
Hey there. I mean you!
Come closer! Closer!
Yeah, you see that?
Who are you?
Hey. Rip that rotten rag off!
Yeah. That's it!
But it's a charm
Rip it off!
I can't mess with a charm!
If you don't wanna be the tiger's food
just do it!
Golden Cudgel!
Naughty boy!
How have you been doing?
So you're that guy, huh?
Well, I guess not
The Goddess asked me to go with
a monk for fetching scriptures
I'm afraid you're mistaken, gentleman
I'm from the Great Tang
Dynasty in the East...
The Great Tang Dynasty in the East...
Yes! You're that guy
Since the Goddess said so
I'm the one to escort you to the West
Escort me?
I don't need it, I think
Speak louder!
No, thanks, gentleman!
You heard him, Goddess?
It's just he doesn't need me
It's not me shirking
Then I'm going off
Baldy!
What the heck is this?
Why can I not take it off?
The Goddess gave it to me
I've no idea, either
Baldy. Don't fool around
Take it off from me!
Stay still
There are words on it
Stop fidgeting
I can't see those words clear
Oh, it's Sanskrit
Seems I can't just read
- So?
- I have to chant
Come on sing it now! Thanks!
Sir!
Could you tough it out?
Probably it'll loosen if
you endure for a while
Stop chanting
Stay away!
I'll jump off if you keep pushing me
Wanna die?
Won't be that easy
What on earth do you want?
Take this gold hoop off me now!
Or else I'm gonna strangle you to...
I said many times I have no idea
how to loosen this hoop
Wukong. The young monk here with you
was once a boy named Golden Cicada,
a Buddha's disciple
Today, he has become your master
You should protect him and respect him
Only till the day you get the scriptures
from the Thunder Monastery
will your golden hoop be loosened
There are no alternatives
I'm bringing those stupid scriptures back
The Goddess hasn't finished yet
Somersault Cloud!
In a heartbeat
Where is that monastery?
Gentleman!
How could it be?
The Goddess asked me to tell you
There's no way to fly there
with one stroke like this
Every suffering on the
journey is predestined
Every step is a spiritual practice
- No way!
- This is how wonderful life is
What did you say? Every step for what?
Wonderful?
Yeah, full of wonder
I wonder
Hey Goddess, where are you? Hello?
Gentleman
The Goddess can hear you
No need to be loud
Shut up!
Go away!
How dare you!
Give my horse back!
Enlarge!
Enlarge!
Isn't it wonderful?
If it's always so wonderful all the way
we could share the journey together
You've eaten our horse. I have to get even
So you acquiesce?
Bro Monkey
Good boy
What's with you? Just mount the horse
Don't expect I'll carry you
Gentleman, you may not
have to kill next time
shall we discuss before you do that?
Not a chance
Why don't you ride the horse?
Flying is so tiring, isn't it?
How come you're so wordy!
Can't you just shut up?
It's very late now.
White Bone is coming out to snatch kids
Dad, it's not scary at all
It's true
How much did we make today?
Let me check
Alright. Forget it. Let's close
Yes
Lady White... please don't! No! Lady White!
Don't get my daughter!
Please! Please don't!
Lady White! No!
Sweetie
So late at night
Still up?
How dare you!
After so much evil is done
you can't just always pass the buck to me
Everyone has mistaken me
Tell me. What am I supposed to do?
Madam, please spare me
I swear I won't do it again
I swear as well, that you won't do it again
We just can't go against our king's decree
Oh really?
So you go against me
You fear?
Then why not just go home?
I must get the scriptures just
because I have fear
What's that stuff about?
The truth
The truth about the world
Monk
There's only one way
to know about the truth
That's my Fiery Eyes
Aren't they scary?
Pervert! Pervert!
Pervert!
Naughty boy!
My friend
I have to say your monkey
is a really good breed
But he just looks... too ugly
You are not a monkey master
You are the scripture fetcher
Yes, I am
Here you are, finally
Bro Sha!
Bajie!
How come I'm so handsome?
How dare you, pig demon!
Don't hold up my business!
Hey. again?
Hey no! Cut it out!
Stop! No!
Won't you stop?
Okay?
Do you envy me...
looking better than you?
You ran into me!
Are you blind?
Oh my gosh
Wanna go?
Cut it out! Cut it out!
I'm quitting, really
I'm so cute. Am I wrong?
One by one, You first
Pig!
We are both waiting for
the scripture fetcher
under the guidance of the Mercy Goddess
We need to protect him
as his disciples all the way
My name is Zhu Ganglie
I've sworn to the Goddess that
I'll abstain from eating meat
Bro Monkey, you can also call me Bajie
My name is Sha Wujing
Do you know who I am?
The Handsome Monkey King
from the Mountain of Flowers and Fruit
Then why are you still lying?
Within 3 sentences
if you cannot justify what you've said
I slaughter you!
No! Every word we've said is true
- Yeah!
- It's the first one
Does it count?
This one counts, too
Mr. Scripture Fetcher!
No!
Wukong. Stop!
They are monsters
Are you not?
Out of my way
If you insist
just push me off here
Master...
Amitabha
I killed people
Someone is spying on us
Madam, that monk is almost here
Shall we celebrate?
What's it to you?
This monk is Madam's food
How many times have I told you?
I need the flower alive
You are really a clumsy flatterer
Madam is a thousand years old,
filled with severe grudge
Any living thing in her hands
Suffers as if in hell
Have you lived long enough?
Madam, I'm wrong
What do you mean by "as if in hell"?
I am the hell
In three days' time,
it'll be your reincarnation, Madam
If you can eat that monk by then
you don't need the cycle anymore
So you'll be a demon forever, Madam
There are 3 days to go...
I'll snatch him back here
No hurry
Let me have some fun first
Wujing, it's quite late
Let's find us a place to settle down
But it's noon now
It's foggy now
Master, where's the path?
Wujing, a scripture says that
being deluded, a Buddha is everyone
while being awakened, everyone is a Buddha
Even your eyes are wide open, it's no use
You still can't see the path
You have to make a path step by step
You understand?
Look
This is how wonderful life is
Where's Bajie?
Monk. It's so demonic here
You stay here
I'll check it out
I got it at last!
Anybody in?
Monster!
- Human?
- Monster! Monster!
Don't panic
Don't come over
Come on. Come on
Master
Bro Bajie is yelling
Stop!
I'm different from those kept as food
I'm a pet!
Please. We didn't do anything evil
Don't hurt us
Please stand up
Stand up
Amitabha
I'm afraid you're mistaken
Though this disciple looks a bit un...
unreasonable
But he's quite honest
The four of us are just passers-by
We only want to beg for some food
Thank you
The four of you...
And me, Sun Wukong
It's really demonic here
Why do you live here?
I'm used to it
It's getting windy
Are you hungry?
Let's get in
It's so windy. Let's get inside
Come on in...
- Come on
- Yes, Master
Put down your knives...
Cook some vegetarian food
Sit down, please
Bro Sha, water
Big brother, water
I need it cool
Cool water?
Blow to cool it
Yeah. That's right
Blow it
Are those girls your daughters?
Your homestead just needs
a live-in son-in-law
Bajie
Master. I'm doing promotion
Be quiet
Reverend sir, please leave us alone
Don't worry
I can give you a warranty
of lifelong happiness
Your pig face
will frighten them
No problem now?
Young boy
No problem
I'll be extremely filial to you
Sweeties. I'm coming
Wujing
keep a close watch on him, eyes wide open
Eyes wide open?
Like this?
Yes, yes, go ahead
I notice you've been rubbing your eyes
There's a creek over there
Go wash them there
Yeah, Wukong
if your eyes aren't feeling well
wash them and you'll feel comfy
Just go wash them
Sit down
You can't step out of this
circle until I'm back
Wukong, this circle is too small
Large enough
Wukong. Not enough, indeed
Two sweeties
Come on out
Sweeties
Honey
No one else is here. Don't be afraid
Come on out
Bro Bajie
Bro Bajie
I can tell the worry in your face, Madam
Since the karma of weal
and woe is predestined
why worry yourself sick, Madam?
When I was sixteen
I was forced to marry into the purple
A year later
a famine took place right there.
Many people died
There was a rumor
that I brought on the
disaster to their village
I was seen as a demon
The villagers abandoned me on a lone cliff
to let the vultures share me as food
to honor the gods
But later I survived
So you can say
passing time is not necessarily a good cure
pain comes from stubbornness
In fact pain is just like
this little circle
It looks hard to overcome
but, as long as you take
a bold step forward
your pain will vanish
Since I can do it myself
I'm sure you can do it as well
You can't bluff my eyes
with your disguise
Master
Madam
Madam
You've freaked her out
Wukong...!
Come on out
I'm sure I'll find you soon
Big brother killed her
Madam
Madam
Madam
Are you awake?
Big brother
He's flown away
She died
It's the fault of my first disciple
It was too wrong. He freaked you out
I'll keep him under properly for sure
Master, help me
Master, the monkey killed two girls
Big brother
You two, shut up!
Help me! Master
Stop!
Evil creature
It's three lives. Your sin
of killing is too much
They are demons
How dare you quibble?
You have the power to destroy the universe
If I let you get away with it like this
it'll be a disaster for the world
It's none of your business
That damned monkey was too fierce
Madam, that damned monkey
is quite a trouble
Trouble?
I like trouble...
most
Wukong...
Wukong
Wukong, I was just left
with no choice to do that
Are you going to use this incantation
to keep me under control?
As long as you don't kill the innocent
I won't use it anymore
Why do you refuse to
believe they are monsters?
You and me are really alike
We only believe what can
be seen in our eyes
Now I understand why
the Buddha made the two
of us together on this journey
Wukong, look at these prayer beads
Every bead is from different
corners of the world
But they're strung together by a string
Just like you, me, Baijie and Wujing
What pulls us together is
this journey of 36,000
miles for the scriptures
You may not believe what I see
But I hope you believe that
every time I recite the incantation
I feel the same pain you feel
That chubby white one
must be Bajie
Can someone take pity on us?
Please help save my daughter
My girl was snatched by the monsters
Can someone save her?
White Bone Spirit got my girl!
Your Majesty, the Tang Priest
and his men have entered our country
They're in the city now
Welcome them with a banquet
Nice!
Your Majesty, is that painting
just about the monster rumored in the town?
Exactly
Ages ago
The Kingdom of Cloud was prosperous
Ever since this White Bone Spirit moved in
she's done all kinds of evil
and has snatched countless kids
She feeds on these young kids
With the nutrition from the nature,
she has improved her stamina
She hangs the children with cages
in her Moon Waters Cave
There are cries of the kids
echoing all year round
I can hear them whenever I close my eyes
Amitabha
Don't worry, Your Majesty.
There must be a way
Holy monk
Your Majesty!
Would you rid my people of the evil
and exorcise this White Bone Spirit?
- Your Majesty...
- I only hope I can live long enough to
be able to save all these poor kids
Please rise, Your Majesty
Amitabha. Please rise, everyone
Guard His Majesty!
I really like you telling stories
Repeat it
Go on with it
Are you going to help that
old gossip exorcise me?
I'm just going to urge
you to reform for good
Fine. You can do me a favor
by letting me eat you, since I'm hungry now
Eat him now if you can
But I'm a vegetarian today
I'm here for you
Let's talk outside
I have no time
Are you afraid?
Of you?
Master
Don't be afraid, Master
I will protect you
What in hell do you want?
Don't hurry
Out With it
We are both demons...
of the same kind
That's why we should help each other
What can you help me with?
Your hoop looks nice on you
You can keep it if you like
Why not?
But can you take it off?
Only I can help you if you want freedom
How to?
After I eat this monk
no one will incant to bother you
Do you believe I can do you up now?
Yes, I do
Go ahead
Look at this monkey
He has to do whatever is told by his master
Punishment awaits him
whenever he makes mistakes
One cent, one somersault
Ten cents, it'll kowtow to you
White Bone Spirit
You don't have the heart, do you?
Let me be the bad guy
I love doing such things
Ask him to meet me tonight in person, alone
I've taken 49 doses of this blood medicine
but it can't dispel my curse at all
If I can't eat the Tang Priest tonight
and I remain uncured, I'll eat you instead
Please calm down
Your Majesty
It's gone a bit different now.
Sun Wukong gets in the way
He's a trouble for the Spirit too
So, as long as she tackles that monkey
we're sure to have a chance
Wukong, are you alright?
It's been a while
How was your talk?
Nothing special
No way
It is impossible she comes to you
without a reason
Do you really want to enlighten this demon?
Really
I can't leave a single life unenlightened
on this journey
I can never make myself assured
even though I can make it
through to the scripture
I can never feel assured
Alright
This is your own choice
You really let him go alone?
I'm not sure
I'm gonna sleep if you're still not sure
It's a style
Do you know what you're supposed
to do here tonight?
I'm here
Expecting you to reform for good
Again?
Wukong, why are you here?
Wukong, enlightenment is a solemn thing
Don't fool around here
You're the one that is fooling around
You're ridiculous
Am I ridiculous?
You are ridiculous
Lady White, leave him alone. Let's continue
A bunch of idiots
You really think I'm taken in?
Bro Sha, is her face so
pale with fright now?
Yeah
Bro Bajie, I admire you so much
Lady White
if you have guts
have a good fight with me
If you defeat me
I'll marry you
If I lose
you'll marry me
Fair enough?
If it's unfair to you
of course... we can talk or think about
something else
Pig face. Stay away from me, okay?
Are you scared?
OK. You left me no choice
No one is allowed to interfere
Leave it to me!
Wukong. Can you let me finish?
Step back
As long as you nod
I'll take this demon to nirvana
I hate being called evil demon the most
Evil demon
If not, what else should I call you?
Whatever
Listen, I can give up everything
I'm even able to kill that monk
But! This isn't over
We'll see
Nobody move. Leave her to me
Bro Bajie!
- Bajie
- Bro Sha, stay close with Master
Someone help! I'm stuck
Master?
Forget it
Where is he?
Do you know what blood tastes like?
For years, in order to dispel this curse
I've drunk a great amount
of blood of the kids
Now it's your turn
After I eat you, my disease can be cured
This is your karmic reward
You drain others' blood
to maintain your life
I don't see a difference between you
and the monsters
I'll never be as venomous
as that White Bone Spirit
Monk, the human world is
like hell since long ago
Even the Buddha cannot
extinguish human's evil within
Can you?
Wukong!
This sort of person is
more vicious than demons
Can't I kill, either?
No, you can't
If you keep doing evil
I'll finish you with this cudgel
Kids. Go home now
Now. Come with me
Is the Buddha blind?
Entrusting a wimp like you?
If it weren't for him, killing
all the way with his cudgel
you could go nowhere!
What merits and retribution
are you looking to?
Every word you say is nonsense
and every step you take could kill
By what right do you act like a sage?
By what right? Tell me!
Thanks, holy monk
Mom
The holy monk saved them all
Let's hurry on
Holy monk, please wait
The folks of our kingdom
will be grateful for your kindness forever
Please accept our gifts
You saved my daughter's life.
You're really our savior
Thanks for saving my life
Feel free to accept it
I've said
I'm even able to
kill that monk
He attacked
Wukong
Why did you do this?
She's a demon
So is everyone in your eyes a demon?
Bad guy
Mom
Are you okay, sweetheart
Are you alright?
Please quiet down! Easy!
Calm down. Be quiet
What's wrong with you?
You hurt my daughter. I won't forgive you
Bro Bajie
Mom...
Holy monk, help
Holy monk, help me
Master, stop chanting
Master, he knows he's in the wrong
Yeah
Help me...
Holy monk, help
Wukong
Just leave
Master, this girl doesn't look ordinary
You can't let him leave
Yes, Master. He suddenly did that
There must be a reason
Monk
they have turned from monsters
It's just that you can't see them through
My duty is to escort you to the West
Escorting me
is not the reason that
you can kill willfully
In order to escort me
you don't even spare a little girl
Do you fear I would die
or I would not make it to the West
to remove this hoop for you?
The problem is not with
the hoop on your head
but the hoop in your heart
You can only rely on yourself
There's nothing I could do
Thought it over?
Just leave
Master
Our karma ends here. Don't kneel to me
You...
Leave!
Bajie
Bro Sha
Big brother
The road ahead is dangerous
Do your best to protect him
I'm leaving
- Big brother
- Big brother
Big brother!
- Master!
- Master!
Bro Bajie
Master is kidnapped!
Thank you
If you don't tell me
I really have no idea he's been kidnapped
Now what shall we do?
Bro Sha
Now things go really bad
There are only three options for us
Option One
Go to big brother's home mountain
and bring him back
Oh yeah!
Option Two
Go to Moon Waters Cave
and harass them to buy time for us
Excellent!
Option Three is relatively complex.
Just try to figure it out
That is, you go to the Cave
to buy time for yourself
And it's still you to go
to big brother's place
Are you going too?
Don't ask anything nonsense
We still have the last resort
The burdens are yours.
The dragon horse is mine
Let's disband
Yeah
Why didn't it come to my mind?
Because you're an idiot
Why didn't it come to my mind?
You are...
an unsympathetic, unfaithful jerk!
- I've long been putting up with you
- You!
It hurts?
Yes!
Bro Sha, hit his face! His face!
The horse is yours
Dragon Horse, let's go to save Master
What exactly are you doing this for?
Are you curious?
Because if I eat you,
I can become an immortal demon
I want no reincarnation.
I hate being a human
In this case
what happened in your previous life?
Speaking of it...
the villagers said
I brought on the disaster to their village
I was seen as a demon
That's just a story about my previous life
It's a true story
Don't think you're different
from those who had left
me on the lone cliff
You immortals are just merciless
I hate you all
Hatred
can only give birth to hatred
Why must you be so hard on yourself?
Stop enlightening me
Listen
your enlightenment is of no use at all
Goddess.
Why are you in my way back to my mountain?
Wukong. Even if you get
back to your place today
that is not your final destination
Then can you tell me
where else I can go?
Big brother, do you know that
Master was snatched by the monster
Big brother
Don't be afraid, everyone
I'm here for your lord
Only you can save Master, Big brother
You don't know any better
Can't you just put up a bit with him?
Look how young he is
and how old you are, huh?
Look, Big brother
A branch can be...
easily snapped...
snapped without effort
while ten branches are unbreakable together
If the four of us are united and bound
we will reach the West and
fetch the scripture for sure
He's not here
Why didn't you tell earlier?
What shall I do?
You tell me!
Big brother!
Hey. look!
Idiot!
I need Big brother's suit
of armor to give me courage
Wukong
Golden Cicada has waited for nine lifetimes
before you're available
to be his disciple in this life
and you'll be rectified and led to Buddhism
But the monk of this life
has abandoned me
Am I at fault?
Wukong, in fact, you abandoned your master
500 years ago, you trusted yourself,
so you wreaked havoc in heaven
But now, you haven't changed in any way
Why don't you trust others
rather than yourself?
You have always been judging others with
your own standard of right or wrong
What your Fiery Eyes see is truth
but what your master sees is heart
Wukong, your master's life is at risk
This is when he needs you most
Time is up
How about you enlighten
me in your next lifetime?
I'll still be waiting here, okay?
I hope my death
can take away your stubbornness
Who is it?
What happened? Can anyone tell me?
Evil monkey!
Master
I'm back
Wukong
Move!
Bro Sha, you go!
Let me get even...
Move!
Master
Since the Buddha entrusts
you with the scriptures
I won't let you die
Hold on
Enlarge!
White Bone Spirit
this is your doom of the millennium
Now your spirit will vanish
forever and ever
Buddha
I'm willing to help her overcome her doom
Please give her a chance
Xuanzang, if you want to save her
the only way is to lead her
to her reincarnation into human
But, as you're a mortal
you have to give up your life to do that
Do you really want to?
Yes, I do
Do you think you're saving me?
As long as there is a gleam of hope
I won't give up by any means
Whatever the result is,
I'm willing to go on this trip with you
It's been a thousand years
I'm used to being a demon
When I was 16
they said
I'm an evil demon
No! Don't!
You're not gonna make it
Wukong
Lady White
wants to meet her end within my body
If I don't lead her to her reincarnation
she'll vanish completely
Will you trust me?
I only trust you alone
from now on
Kill me
No
No way!
Wukong
At first I thought
To enlighten people
is just to educate them by words
Only now do I see
if I don't get in hell
even if I could reach the Thunder Monastery
I would not get the scriptures
Now I've decided
If she can't change her doom
I'll help her throughout this life
If not so after ten lifetimes
I'll be helping as well, without fail
Alright
On the way of 36,000 miles
I'm waiting for your return
If you can't come back for a lifetime
I'll wait throughout this life
If not so after ten lifetimes
I'll be waiting as well, without fail
Alright
Come on
Big brother
You mustn't do this!
No, big brother. Don't do this!
If I have this good fortune
next lifetime
I still want to be your master
Master
This is where I have to say goodbye
Master
Master
Big brother. It's been seven days
Why hasn't Master's soul returned yet?
At this rate, let's disband
No more "disband". Got it?
Are we still going or not, Big brother?
As long as Master's golden body is intact
I'll carry his body
to the Thunder Monastery
to see the Buddha in person
Master, let's go!
Oh, my brother. I'm hungry. What to do?
I can't stay hungry!
You only know eating
Yeah, yeah...
Let's eat hot pot!
