Journey to the West | The Continued Story of The Monkey King Sun Wukong

Wukong is apprehended by the Buddha, Tathgata, and imprisoned by five mountains with the promise of redemption one day. Guanyin and Hui'an depart to find the pilgrim summoned by Tathgata to seek knowledge, and Guanyin promises three monsters—and Wukong—chances for redemption. For Wukong, he must serve the pilgrim. The pilgrim, Xuanzang, is raised as an orphan by a monk. He learns the Way, and when he's 18, he discovers who his parents were and how bandits wronged them. He avenges his parents, and after his mother commits suicide, Xuanzang returns to monastic life.

Emperor Tang Taizong is supposed to save the Dragon King from execution after the Dragon King destroys a fortune teller, but he fails because the Dragon King is killed while dreaming by the executioner and judge, Wei. Taizong dies of sadness and promises in the Underworld to send food and hold a mass for the trapped souls so they can be reborn—he is then returned to the world of the living because he still has 20 years to live. Taizong follows through on his promises.

At a mass sanctioned by Taizong and led by Xuanzang, Guanyin shows up and announces the quest to the west; Xuanzang volunteers. Xuanzang, also called Tripitaka, is helped along his journey and in return, saves a man’s father’s spirit. When they are on a mountain, they hear Wukong cry out for his master, and the man agrees to guide him. Tripitaka releases Wukong; they are attacked, and Wukong kills the bandits. Wukong flees after being chastised by Tripitaka. Guanyin assists Tripitaka in controlling Wukong, who is now known as Pilgrim. Later, they seize control of the dragon that Guanyin promised to redeem when she transforms it into a horse, the slow-witted and clumsy Pigsy, and the fish spirit Sandy. Together they continue their journey to India and culminate in their attainment of the sacred scrolls.
