ExclusiveEpisode 2: Magic Lessons Start With a Broom | Monkey King Adventures

Born from stone on a mountain by the sea Opened my eyes to a world I'd never seen No crown No glory Just a road in front of me From stone! To legend! One road! Eighty-one trials! Born with a laugh I leapt into light Mountains before me a world open wide So much to learn so far I could go One little step then down the road Demons may rise and mountains may shake Friends stand beside me with each turn I take Now through the clouds I'm chasing the sky Golden staff spinning I'm learning to fly I stumbled I learned I fell I grew Every new road showed me something new Born from stone made by the road Every trial helps me grow Power can carry me high through the sky But heart helps me know where to fly From stone to legend onward I go Wild in my spirit still ready to grow Fantastic! Awesome!Immortals, here I come! Master! Please teach me how to live forever! Teach me how to fly through the sky and dive under the earth! Where did you come from? Why do you want to learn here? From Flower-Fruit Mountain in the Eastern Land! I want to learn how to live forever. I don't want to disappear! Do you know that learning to live forever begins begins with doing the hardest things first I am not afraid of hard work! I drifted across the sea for a long time. Even giant waves could not stop me! I will not go home until I learn it! You left a free and happy place and crossed the sea to come here. You also speak honestly about your wish. That shows a little wisdom. All right. I will take you as my student. Really? So am I an immortal's student now? Not so fast. Do you have a name? A name? The monkeys on Flower-Fruit Mountain all call me King. But... I guess that is not really a name. Since you have no family name or given name, from today on, I give you this name: Sun Wukong. Sun Wukong! That name sounds like it can fly! So what amazing magic do I learn in my first lesson? First, change into your training clothes. Your senior, Lingxu, will help you settle in. Folow me! For your first lesson, sweep all the leaves from the front gate to the courtyard. Sweep? What does that have to do with living forever? Is this broom some secret magic weapon? I get it! This must be a test of my skills! Watch my Super Dust Tornado! I thought some world-shaking magic creature had come down from heaven and filled the hall with dust. Turns out it is just a wild little monkey! You are even smaller than the stories said! You're tiny compared to the stories! Watch my Super Dust Tornado Sweep! This is not just sweeping a floor. I am sweeping a road to living forever! Rule Number One - Strike one. Sun Wukong, both feet are more than three inches off the ground while sweeping, and you are trying to shape the leaves into your own face! The Strongest People on Fangcun Mountain! Sun Wukong, I am the first and still counting Lingxu, Jinhu, do you want to be on the list too? I can give you both a nice Good Job award. Violation Number 3,408! You posted an unofficial ranking on the back mountain mud wall! And... and you put Master Bodhi in second place?! Sun Wukong! Why am I number 325 on your list? There are only thirty people on this whole mountain! Senior brothers, you are here! This pile is special Grade S firewood: straight grain, strong, and long-burning. I saved it just for Master Bodhi Then what is this one? Why is it as thin as a chopstick? And why are there words carved on it? That is Grade C Beginner Firewood. Lingxu, you are not very strong, so this one will not hurt your hands. My special care to you! Care? That is open teasing! I am writing you up once... no, ten times! Move, move! Lingxu, you are so weak. Grade C is just right for you. Sun Wukong, I have great power. If there is Grade S firewood, I should be the one to carry it to Master Bodhi. ouch my back Seven years passed in the blink of an eye, recorded in every stroke of the brush. Seven years! He finally learned what rules are. Maybe my cart wheels can rest now. Today I will teach the different paths. Wukong, do you want to learn the Arts path? It can help you see what may happen and avoid danger. Master! Can it help me live forever? No. The Arts are like looking at flowers in a mirror. You may see what is coming, but you cannot change everything. You can only know ahead of time. Then I do not want it! If it cannot help me live forever, what is the point? What about the Learning path? You can read scriptures, study deeply, and know many things. Can that make me live to be ten thousand years old? No. Learning is like water leaving a mark. If you do not truly understand it for yourself, it will not become part of your life. Then I do not want that either! How is that different from sweeping? I am exhausted! What about the Stillness path? You sit quietly and meditate, steady as a mountain. Not moving? Is that not just like being a rock? Can it help me live forever? Still, no. Stillness can become like dead ashes or dry wood. If you turn into a stone just to avoid the waves, what is the difference between living ten thousand years and being dead for ten thousand years? No! no! no I want real skills! I want to live big, live bright, and live forever! You came. How did you know to come in the middle of the night? Master, this afternoon you tapped my head three times. Then you put your hands behind your back and walked through the middle door. That meant, Come find me through the back door at the third watch, right? I guessed it! Three taps means the third watch, right? I thought so! You figured that out on your own? This stone-born monkey really does have a bright spirit. You crossed the ocean and worked hard for seven years. Why do you really want to live forever? I do not want everyone on Flower-Fruit Mountain to... disappear. You do have wisdom. I will teach you a cloud-riding skill. Listen carefully. I will only say this once. An ordinary life can feel like walking through mud in a tiny place. But with the Somersault Cloud, one stomp can send you up into the sky... One stomp and I can fly? And I can see the whole wide world? This skill begins with letting go of stubborn thoughts Master, how do I call the cloud? This is so easy! and lifting yourself into the air... I have not told him how to stop. Aaaah! Too fast! Where am I? I was not finished. With the Somersault Cloud, once one door opens, many doors open. Everyone wants to ride clouds, but the higher you fly, the stronger the wind and rain become. Remember. After you learn this skill, keep it hidden. Do not show off in front of others. Do not say I taught it to you. Do you understand? I understand! I understand! Heaven does not like pride. Your talent is your gift, but it can also bring trouble. If you show off, others may become jealous. If you break this promise, I will send you away and no longer call you my student. I... will remember your teachings, Master. Wukong, we heard you went into Master's secret room last night! Show us a magic trick! Yeah! Did you learn to breathe fire? Or turn rocks into gold? I-I cannot tell you! Master said it is... top secret! I will not tell, no matter what! Oh, stop guessing, everyone. Master called him in last night because he wanted to scold him! If this monkey learned real immortal magic, I will eat Lingxu's report book right here! I. Will. Not. Tell. I promised Master, and I will never fall for Jinhu's tricks! I just will not tell! I promised Master. Even if you try, I still will not say a word I'm ten! I'll turn into ten of my myself and show you Best trick ever! Wukong is number one! Wukong is unstoppable! You must leave this mountain!... Pack your things and go back to where you came from. Great King? Is it... is it really you?! You’ve returned from the land of the Immortals? Class dismissed, monkey boy! Time to die! This sword... is way too light All the way to the Eastern Ocean.
