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?
