Brother.

Brother.

It's me!

He's the Great Sage!

No shouting!

I say, no shouting!

Beat him to death!

Come on!

-Beat him to death! -Come on!

Come on!

[English subtitles are available]

[This story is based on Chapter 56-58,]

["Journey to the West".]

[Tang Sanzang thought Sun Wukong has become tyrannical,]

[so he stopped him from going to the Western Regions.]

[Sun Wukong who's on his own, is going to be loaded with crisis.]

Master,

you're driving me away?

They are demons!

I've advised you repeatedly,

however you've no kindness.

You are not the right person to obtain the sutra.

I'm doing this for your good.

Why can't you see?

When you have restless mind and mood swing,

you will not be able to achieve the Buddhist Path.

From now on, look out for yourself.

Master.

If you really want to drive me away,

please remove the Golden Headband on my head.

Amitabha.

Sun Wukong,

give me your body.

Golden Cudgel!

Sun Wukong.

Which demon are you?

Show yourself now!

Tathagata?

[Wukong.]

[Do you admit your sin?]

Tathagata!

What sin have I committed?

[Monkey King]

[Immortal Spring]

Give me, quick.

Give me, quick.

I am Maitreya's disciple.

But I have been suppressed by Tathagata for many years.

-I couldn't go and obtain the sutra. -Give me.

I could only stay out of the Three Realms to build this Heavenly Prison,

used the soil from Mount Huaguo to make your bones,

and instilled you with the blood from many demons.

I did that so that one day

you can replace Sun Wukong

and obtain the sutra at the Western Regions for me.

Only I deserve the real sutra.

Give it to me.

How dare you!

Master didn't give you anything.

How dare you take it!

You're still a mould now.

Only after getting the Heart of Stone

that you'll become the real Great Sage, Heaven's Equal.

Give me, quick.

Remember this.

Sun Wukong's Heart of Stone

can only be taken out by himself.

Give me your body.

The Heart of Stone is mine.

I want to be Sun Wukong.

I want to be the Great Sage, Heaven's Equal.

If I become the Buddha,

there'll be no demons in the world.

[Lotus Barrier]

The world is going down.

People are getting evil.

If you hadn't discovered this,

I'm afraid people in the world

would have suffered.

Who is this?

Drag him out.

You smelly and dirty thing!

Sir!

No!

Sir, please spare me my life.

Let's go.

Please spare me my life.

I've only heard that gods mount on the demons.

Who is this?

Since when

demon is imprisoned in Heavenly Prison?

Who is it?

It's the Great Sage, Heaven's Equal.

How is this possible?

A wild monkey

dares to impersonate the Great Sage, Heaven's Equal.

You're so bold.

Tathagata, you've got to be kidding me.

Come out!

Great Sage.

Look with your Fiery Golden Eyes.

Tathagata and I

are similar, right?

Tathagata?

It's you?

You're right.

The Heavenly Prison never holds demons.

You've lost the Golden Cudgel and powers.

How are you going to be the Great Sage, Heaven's Equal?

This evil monkey impersonates the Great Sage, Heaven's Equal...

and disturb the Three Realms.

He has committed an unforgivable sin.

I will send you to the Heavenly Prison today.

You can never leave forever.

[Wukong.]

Save your energy.

That seal is Master Yellow Eyebrows' Qian Kun Lock.

No one can unlock it.

No one can break it.

Unless you're a dead person.

You're one of the monkeys from Mount Huaguo?

You're insolent!

Mount Huaguo is a holy name.

You cannot simply say it.

But

you and my king

do look alike.

Too bad

the person most unlikely to come to this place

is my king.

If you want to impersonate him,

you should at least put on the Golden Headband.

I'll be out in another year.

Time passes quickly.

When my king returns home,

I might be given a post.

I think he won't be able to go back for some time.

You're insolent!

You...

Devil Eye.

Master Yellow Eyebrow's informer.

You can't do that!

My eyes!

It's too cruel.

We're doomed.

Master Yellow Eyebrows must have seen it.

Both of us will have to die.

Don't drag me along if you're looking for death!

This Heavenly Prison is a fake one.

All of you have been cheated.

You're insolent.

Too insolent.

The prison looks like a lotus.

It's said to be made of ancient divine artefacts,

the seven petals of the Lotus Lamp.

That Yellow Eyebrow is Maitreya's disciple.

His has boundless powers.

How could you say it's fake?

Many people are imprisoned here.

No one has ever wanted to go out?

There is a drum at the door.

Someone will take you out after you sound it.

Where will we be taken to?

The Life and Death Arena.

You can go out if you win in the arena.

If I win,

would you believe that I'm the Great Sage?

You won't win.

[Life and Death Arena]

Within five minutes,

if you win,

you'll be released from the prison.

If you lose,

you'll die horribly.

That's impossible.

I've never seen anyone win before.

You old demon.

The Great Sage Who Pacifies Heaven, Bull Demon King, is my sworn brother.

Don't you know that?

Brother.

Brother.

It's me!

He's the Great Sage!

No shouting!

I say, no shouting!

Beat him to death!

Come on!

-Beat him to death! -Come on!

Come on!

Hit him!

Hit him!

He actually stands up.

That's right.

He's not dead.

He's lucky.

He's too bold.

He wants to die.

I think he doesn't want to live anymore.

Stinky monkey.

Time's up.

It's just a tie.

That's right. It's not fair.

-I thought the monkey could win. -What happened?

[Wukong.]

[Wukong!]

[Why are you here?]

What are you doing?

I failed to recognize you.

Please forgive me, my king.

Your king and I look alike.

After all, he is the least likely to appear at this place.

Right?

I spouted nonsense.

I should be punished.

Enough.

Come here.

Don't laugh.

In my life, I hate two kinds of people the most.

First, villains who likes to fawn.

Second, a dirty dog.

In future, don't ever laugh like this again.

I'm so sorry.

I'm sorry.

My king, when you were locked in Wuzhi Mountain,

the Mountain Demon seized Shuilian Cave.

All the monkeys and junior monkeys

ran in all directions.

I was not capable.

I could only follow those bumpkins fooling around.

They said the king has gone to obtain sutra

and that he doesn't want Mount Huaguo anymore.

Nonsense.

Meal time!

My king, this way please.

The king is here.

The king is here.

Move away.

My king.

The best is for you.

My king.

Impulse is the devil.

Come here!

In this box...

Who is she?

She is an opera singer.

Master Yellow Eyebrows asked her to set up a shadow play troupe

and sing for everyone.

An actresse

Yes.

Among the many people here,

she is our only "hope".

You get it.

I told you not to laugh like that.

Don't try to be smart.

Some unlucky newcomers.

Don't go.

I'm here to help you.

Come, greet our king.

You're one of the monkeys from Mount Huaguo?

What's your name?

My king.

Perhaps he's a mute monkey.

His ears are small.

Let's call him Xiao Er Duo.

Eat.

Let's go.

I'll take you to eat something delicious.

This place

is quite big.

Do we know each other?

Nephew is living a good life with the Guanyin.

Don't worry.

Sun Wukong!

The matter of my son...

"I'd settle the scores with you."

Every time we meet, you'll utter these words.

You didn't go to obtain the sutra

but came here instead. Why so?

I am the Great Sage, Heaven's Equal.

I can go everywhere I want.

Well, you should leave this place then.

-Eat. -What's wrong with Brother?

Yellow Eyebrows has sealed his memory.

He doesn't even know about himself.

Seal?

How?

He is Maitreya's disciple.

He's good at using weapons and spells.

The most important thing is

he has a Tian Peng Stick.

The power of the Qian Kun Lock

is also maintained by that stick.

Once the stick is broken,

it will be unsealed on its own.

How to break it?

How dare you act wildly in front of me!

Get lost!

She is actually Princess Iron Fan.

I really couldn't recognize her!

Don't touch!

My king.

I have a good idea.

Why not we take the opportunity to take a look in her room

while Princess Iron Fan is not around?

Let's see what she is up to.

I've told you not to laugh like that.

You bold disciple.

You killed three more peoples.

Being your teacher, I can't tolerate anymore.

You... You leave now!

Master!

Is this story about you?

Yes.

See clearly.

The three of them are demons.

I didn't kill them carelessly.

This demon

wanted to use three human bodies

to hurt you!

I no longer believe in you.

Leave now.

Master.

You want to drive me away?

When you have restless mind and mood swing,

you will not be able to achieve Buddhist Path.

From now on,

look out for yourself.

There really is a secret path.

My king, you have such a good eyesight.

You stay here.

I'll go and take a look.

Don't worry.

Leave it to us.

Stinky monkey!

You always spoil my planning!

We can cooperate.

Work with you?

It's even more difficult to leave!

Someone's coming!

Wild monkey.

Don't try to make trouble under my nose.

And you put up a long face too.

Let me tell you.

When you're here,

you're no different from the others.

Old Monkey.

Why are you lowering your head?

What are you afraid of?

You're not that good though.

My king, are you all right?

Fine.

I'm fine.

I'm sorry, my king.

I forgot that you've no powers now.

So what if I don't have powers now?

In the past, when I first reached Mount Huaguo,

with my abilities, all monkeys submitted to me.

Right.

You're right.

My king, you're the Monkey God bred by the heaven and earth.

This injury is nothing.

My king.

I'm going to lie down at a different spot.

Talking about our king's story,

it'll take a lot of time.

In that year,

100 thousand of the Heavenly Army's generals and soldiers,

the Four Heavenly Kings

and the 28 constellations were involved in that battle.

It looked powerful.

But it didn't stop our king.

After that,

the king was locked in Wuzhi Mountain.

He suffered for five hundred years.

And then, he had to accompany Tang Sanzang

to obtain the sutra in Western Regions.

I've fallen to this predicament.

You still treat me as your king?

You'll always be the king.

Even if you have nothing left,

you're still our king!

I've no Jin Gu Staff with me now.

Wouldn't it be better?

There's nothing else

that can restrain you.

That year, I left Mount Huaguo to go and obtain the sutra.

Do you hate me?

My king.

What are you talking about?

How could that be?

What he meant is

obtaining the sutra

is much more important than the monkeys

in Mount Huaguo, am I right?

What are you doing here?

You don't you want to know the answer?

Sun Wukong.

Between the sutra and Mount Huaguo,

which one would you choose?

We will all die here.

What's the use

of saying this now?

If you're capable,

take us out then.

Follow me.

According to my observation,

the instrument is in the treasury room.

To enter the treasury room,

you must do three things.

Understand about the arrangement,

find out their regular pattern

and cooperate internally and externally.

Starting from today,

I'll teach you something.

Isn't the bathhouse at the opposite?

Old Bull has a key with him.

While he's taking bath,

we should secretly take the key out.

After getting the key,

I'll distract him.

Then, you'll go get the instrument.

Once your power is restored,

we'll gather at the lobby.

Again!

Stand up!

Again.

Again.

Stand up!

Take it out.

It's meal time.

Here you go.

After we leave this place,

I'll go to Guanyin and bring Red Boy back.

We're going to do it tomorrow.

Eat more

and rest well.

[Sun Wukong.]

[Give me your body.]

Master.

Is Senior Wukong not coming back?

It's just a few days, but you've missed him.

Master.

Don't forget that Senior Wukong

was driven away by you, master.

Look.

He's not here.

But we're all good too, right?

There won't be many demons who want to eat our master.

Master. Juniors.

[Sun Wukong.]

Don't worry.

I'll definitely bring you back.

To Mount Huaguo.

My king.

Is that true?

Yes.

All right.

What do you think of the singer?

The singer.

Not good.

Not good.

I think she's good.

I heard that she's married.

Is it?

No way!

It's true.

You have no chance then.

Well, I'll just watch the fun then.

Let me tell you.

Recently, I caught a few beautiful girls.

Is it?

Let's go and take a look over there.

I'm sure you'll fancy one of them.

When is our turn

-to get proud? -That's right.

It's you again!

Boy.

Give me a massage.

Hurry up..

Hurry up. What are you waiting for?

You've used

too much strength.

It's too much.

Be gentle.

It's too much.

Brother, be gentle.

Faster.

Be gentle.

Let me out!

Tell me.

Is it this door?

Great Sage.

Tell me!

I was telling the truth.

-You have to believe me. -Tell me!

It's true.

I didn't lie.

[You old bull.]

[You still keep silence after looking at me for so long.]

[Your nose is bleeding.]

[Let me see what tricks you are playing.]

Er Duo.

Bring me Tian Peng Stick.

I'm going to destroy it now.

Yellow Eyebrows.

Just you wait for me!

It's not working. What's wrong?

The Great Sage, Heaven's Equal.

I hope you're well.

Old Bull, you're crazy!

Hit me again.

Do you think I don't dare to hit you?

Where's the key?

Old Bull.

You really don't remember anything?

You are the Great Sage Who Pacifies Heaven,

Bull Demon King.

I am your wife!

Where's the key?

Er Duo.

Er Duo.

Old Monkey.

Do you want the king to return to Mount Huaguo with you?

Sun Wukong went to obtain the sutra

because his Heart of Stone made him involuntarily do it.

Once the Heart of Stone is removed,

he will have his freedom.

Without the Heart of Stone,

would the king die?

He'll be unharmed.

But the Heart of Stone must be taken out by himself.

As long as you help me,

I promise you that you can return

and revive Mount Huaguo.

Wild monkey.

Do you admit your sin?

Whether to kill or to cut me,

just hurry up.

You spread fallacies to mislead people

and tried to run away.

You've committed such heinous crimes.

How can I tolerate you?

Say it.

Who is the mastermind?

Let them go.

You want to be a hero?

Do you really think you're the Great Sage, Heaven's Equal?

I heard Great Sage, Heaven's Equal has a Heart of Stone.

As long as you take it out and show everyone here

that you're the real Great Sage, Heaven's Equal,

I can spare them then.

Otherwise, all the prisoners here

will have to die with you.

Isn't it a life?

My home is gone.

I don't want to live since long time ago.

Old Monkey.

You say it.

Just say it. Don't drag everyone down!

-Say it! -Say it!

-Say it! -Say it, quick!

-He got us into this. -Say it, quick!

I'll say!

It's him.

He is the mastermind.

He led us to escape.

Old Monkey, shut up!

Is he Great Sage, Heaven's Equal?

-Say it, quick. -Say it.

He is not Great Sage, Heaven's Equal.

He's just an impostor, the wild monkey.

Did you hear that?

This is not what I said

Old Monkey,

go on.

Say it, faster.

All right, I'll just say it.

Our king

used Mount Huaguo as the bet

just to gain an undeserved reputation in that year.

He fought with 100 thousands of the Heavenly Army for a day and a night

just to get the title, Great Sage, Heaven's Equal.

Many monkeys lost their lives in that battle.

Were the monkeys' lives worthless?

We waited for him for five hundred years

in Mount Huaguo.

But he

went to obtain the sutra

and never came back.

The Great Sage, Heaven's Equal is long dead.

Go on.

Say it!

I'll go all out then.

Are you the Great Sage, Heaven's Equal?

If you are the Great Sage, Heaven's Equal,

prove it by showing your Heart of Stone.

-That's right. -Quickly show your Heart of Stone.

Take it out.

Take out the Heart of Stone.

Take it out.

Take it out, faster.

[Today, not only I want you to take your Heart of Stone out,]

[I want you to lose their support too.]

Idiot.

You're such an idiot!

You want the Heart of Stone.

You want me to take it out.

Shi Li.

Release them.

You've not wasted my effort.

Finally, you took out your Heart of Stone.

My king.

My king.

My king.

Master Yellow Eyebrows.

Didn't you say that after taking out the Heart of Stone,

it won't hurt my king?

My king.

-My king! -Without the Heart of Stone,

-he's just an ordinary monkey. -My king!

Old Monkey.

You're such an idiot.

Whoever owns the Stone of Heart

will be the Great Sage, Heaven's Equal.

Starting from today,

your king is him.

You don't know

the feeling of exposing the skin to sunlight, right?

You're such a pity.

Don't forget your purpose.

Otherwise

you have to stay with these soiled bones

forever.

You're not the Great Sage!

Fake Great Sage!

Fake Great Sage!

-Fake Great Sage! -You liar!

-Fake Great Sage! -You liar!

-Fake Great Sage! -You liar!

Fake Great Sage.

You are not the Great Sage.

You

won't

accept it?

Fake Great Sage.

You won't accept it?

Fake Great Sage.

You won't accept it?

Fake Great Sage.

Who else won't accept it?

Xiao Er Duo.

You can talk now?

I am not Xiao Er Duo.

Are you blind?

Don't touch him.

I am the Great Sage, Heaven's Equal.

I am your king.

Xiao Er Duo!

Take out the Heart of Stone and return it to the king.

He wanted to save us by getting us out.

How could you treat him like this?

How about you?

Are you looking for death?

I'm not even afraid of the real Great Sage.

Would I afraid of a fake monkey like you?

Great Sage.

Don't be impulsive.

The Golden Cudgel is still waiting for you.

It's not too late

to take care of them at a later time.

My king.

My king.

My king.

My king, look at me.

My king.

Can you still recognize me?

Do you know who I am?

My king.

This is all your fault!

I...

So,

what Yellow Eyebrows wanted is the Great Sage's Heart of Stone.

He's got it now.

Will he let us out?

All of you here must die.

Old Monkey.

You can go now.

I want to take the king

back home.

You believe Yellow Eyebrows' words?

My king.

Let's go home.

Let's go home.

Everything that you have now

are all given by me.

What are you?

Do you know that?

Forget it.

How would you know?

Master.

Please unlock my Qian Kun Lock.

Only then the Golden Cudgel can show its true power.

What did you say?

If I can't restore my powers,

I can't go to Western Regions

to obtain the sutra for you.

All right.

I will unlock the Qian Kun Lock for you.

Do you think once you have the Heart of Stone,

you are the real Great Sage, Heaven's Equal?

Monkey like you,

if I can make one,

I can make many of you too.

With great power comes great responsibility.

Come on,

Great Sage, Heaven's Equal.

Be careful!

Those mistakes made by Sun Wukong,

I won't do it.

The Qian Kun Lock sealed my powers.

The thing that you really use to control our minds

are the picture scrolls.

Only by ruining these two instruments

that I can really break the seal off.

You want to make use of me to obtain the sutra.

But you're just the Maitreya's disciple.

I am the Great Sage, Heaven's Equal!

Demon.

Even dog has feelings to his master.

I am not your dog!

If I become a demon,

what can Buddha do to me?

[Thousands Corpses Cave]

Why is it like this?

My king.

My king.

It's all my fault.

That seal is Master Yellow Eyebrows' Qian Kun Lock.

No one can unlock nor break it.

unless you're a dead person.

My king.

You must remember

to take us back

to Mount Huaguo.

We want to see Master Yellow Eyebrows!

He

used mud

to make my bone and body.

And he gave me the Heart of Stone

bred by heaven and earth.

Right now,

I am the Great Sage, Heaven's Equal from the good sect.

Thank you.

Everyone, move away!

Bull Demon King.

Hide at the back.

Why did you interrupt me?

Old Bull?

I tore off the picture scrolls for you.

Do you want to go out with me

to fight against the Heaven Court

and trample the Lingxia Palace?

I...

Where did I stop?

Do you know what my greatest wish is?

My greatest wish

is to know the feeling of exposing my skin

to the sunlight.

Do you want to know?

Do you want to know?

Looks like

if I don't show you my true ability,

you won't agree.

Come on!

Now,

let's have fun!

Leave!

Trying to run away?

Run!

Amitabha.

Master.

Very good indeed.

Wukong.

Why are you here?

I was victimized by Yellow Eyebrows.

I'm trapped here.

Heart of Stone is gone.

So do my powers.

From now on,

I can no longer accompany you

in the journey to obtain the sutra.

Your Stone of Heart has been taken away.

That's a good thing.

I don't understand.

Enduring hardships

in order to let go of the obsession.

That's the essence of the journey to obtain the sutra.

What obsession do I have?

The title, Great Sage, Heaven's Equal,

is your obsession.

A monk

should be compassionate

and has a benevolent mind

in order to rescue all living creatures from suffering.

Master!

Sun Wukong!

Farewell.

[Wukong.]

[Why are you here?]

[Why are you here?]

[Why are you here?]

[Without the Golden Cudgel and powers,]

[how can you become the Great Sage, Heaven's Equal?]

[You'll always be the king.]

[Even if you have nothing left,]

[you're still our king.]

[Sun Wukong.]

[Sutra and Mount Huaguo,]

[which one would you choose?]

[When you have restless mind and mood swing,]

[you will not be able to achieve the Buddhist Path.]

[Leave.]

[From now on,]

[look out for yourself.]

Stop right there!

Kill the demon monkey!

Kill it!

[Do you have a name?]

Your surname will be Sun.

Your Dharma name is

Wukong.

Wukong!

You've learnt all these skills.

[What exactly do you want to do?]

[Enduring hardships]

[in order to let go of the obsession.]

[That's the essence of the journey to obtain the sutra.]

Great Sage.

Great Sage.

Great Sage.

Great Sage.

Great Sage.

Great Sage.

Who else wants to be a hero?

What's wrong with you?

I just simply looked at you

and stepped on you.

And you become like this?

You were having fun just now.

Great Sage.

Why can't you speak anymore?

-Get up! -Great Sage.

Great Sage.

Please accept my respects.

Please accept my respects.

Great Sage.

You're calling me "Great Sage"?

I remember you said I am not the Great Sage.

You are the Great Sage.

You are the Great Sage.

You are the Great Sage.

You're the Great Sage.

Good.

You're the great sage.

If you all call me Great Sage,

I will spare you.

But if one of you can't say it out,

all of you have to die.

Quickly say it.

Quickly say it.

-Great Sage. -Let's do it together.

Let's call him Great Sage together.

Great Sage, please spare me my life.

-Great Sage. -Please spare me my life.

Great Sage.

Why there are still people who didn't bow?

Please spare me my life, Great Sage.

Calm down, my wife.

You have backache.

What should I do?

Kill him!

Kill him!

Do I need to obey public opinion?

I just don't want to obey it.

How could I be so violent?

Who else?

Me!

With things as such,

only I can save everyone.

The hell!

Go and die.

When did you recover your memory?

You brought it back.

I'm fine.

Great Sage!

-Great Sage is here! -Great Sage!

Run!

Didn’t we have a good conversation just now?

Don't rush.

Run slowly.

Old Bull!

You're leaving too?

Hey!

I knew you would be back.

That's because you're destined to die in my hands.

I came back for everyone.

You came back for Heart of Stone, right?

There is only one Heart of Stone.

Only one of us can live!

Stop it.

Er Duo!

Leave with me.

Six Eared Macaque.

You only know want to obtain sutra!

You're not worthy to be the Great Sage, Heaven's Equal!

I want to take them out

and fight against 100 thousand Heavenly Army

and the 28 constellations!

I am the Great Sage!

Xiao Er Duo.

Stop being obsessive.

Come to your senses!

Try this!

Come to your senses!

Er Duo!

Impossible.

That's impossible.

You have no Heart of Stone.

Let's go.

I'll take you out.

You want to take me out?

Only one of us can go out.

That's because

I want to replace you.

The Stone of Heart is mine.

I want to be the Great Sage, Heaven's Equal.

I want to be Sun Wukong.

Why do you want to be Sun Wukong?

Is Sun Wukong very impressive?

He's also being trapped here.

Why do you want the Stone of Hear?

Without Stone of Heart,

I still beat you, right?

All right.

Heart of Stone is yours.

Great Sage, Heaven's Equal

What are you doing?

I don't need you to pity me.

I'm giving you what you want.

Or what Yellow Eyebrows wants?

What do you really want then?

I want...

I want...

I...

Liar.

Let it go.

All of you are liars.

I'll take you home.

Let's go back to Mount Huaguo.

-You're lying to me. -We'll live a good life.

You're lying to me.

-You're lying to me! -We want to go home!

This is my home.

No!

Mount Huaguo is your home!

Mount Huaguo is not my home.

This is my home.

I am a fake monkey,

living in a fake Heavenly Prison.

Everything that you have now are all given by me.

What are you?

Do you even know?

I want to be the Great Sage, Heaven's Equal.

[Think properly.]

[You want to be the real Sun Wukong]

[or the shadow of Great Sage, Heaven's Equal?]

I

want

to

go out

and see

the sun.

This is my real home.

Leave.

Leave.

I don't want the Heart of Stone now.

Look.

The sun is coming out.
