All language subtitles for Monkey.King.The.One.and.Only.2021.CHINESE.WEB-DL.1080p.H264-Mkvking_track3_[und]

[English subtitles are available]

[A few days ago,]

[some strange things happened.]

[We heard about it when we arrived
at a nearby town's village.]

[Strong men in the village]

[often went missing late at night.]

[When they found them,]

[their souls were gone.]

[They were like dried-up corpses,]

[as if a demon sucked the life
out of them.]

[My master has always been nosy.]

[He forced me to go and investigate.]

[That was why]

[I met this child.]

Wait.

I wondered who it was.

So it's you, Monkey King.

What's the matter?

You've heard of me?

You are very famous.

It's a shame that you ended up

working for Heaven and Tang Sanzang.

I'm working for them?

You think I have that much free time?

We don't interfere
in each other's businesses.

I suggest you stay out of trouble.

The more troublesome it is,

the more I like it!

So Monkey King can do
nothing more than this.

That felt good.

Cudgel!

Wukong, you're hurting people again.

They're demons.

They do look a bit scary,

but compared to you and Bajie,

they definitely look normal.

You call them normal?

They don't look human at all, all right?

You evil disciple!

Shut up, you lousy monk!

The Monkey King ended up this way.

It's so heart-breaking.

Die!

I don't believe you can kill them.

I don't care if they live or die!

You wicked beast,
how you can kill innocent lives?

No one can boss me around.

Monkey King!

You lousy monk,
you think I can't kill you?

Monkey King.

What is your purpose

for escorting Tang Sanzang to India?

I'm doing it for my freedom.

You think you'll be free

after arriving in India?

What are you talking about?

Open your eyes.

Look at what you originally looked like.

Master, what's the matter?

What's going on?

[Monkey King: The One and Only]

[Where am I?]

[What happened?]

[It's all because of this hoop.]

Wukong, do you realize your mistake?

Of course.

I finally know

that it was wrong to follow you.

Why won't you repent?

You use violence without distinguishing
between what's right and wrong.

Did I not use violence without distinguishing

between right and wrong

to save you from being eaten by demons?

If love is the solution to everything,

why do we need to retrieve
those lame sutras?

You evil disciple, don't speak nonsense.

Master, stop reciting the incantation.

I know my mistake, all right?

Actually, you have a good heart,

but you're naturally inclined
to fighting.

Fortunately, you know how to repent
for your mistakes.

From now on, stop using violence.

Trust more, and doubt less.

You must know that love and peace

-is the path we're pursuing.
-Love and peace?

Wukong.

What happened to your eyes?

Dirt fell into them.

I'll blow on them for you.

No thanks.

Yun'er, hurry up.

We're out of yunpian cakes
for the day.

Go.

Deity.

Deity, save us.

Deity.

Deity, have pity on us.

I have a daughter to feed.

I can't die, Deity.

I'm begging you.

You really want more?

I'm begging you.

Please have pity on us.

Bring new ones.

Give me one.

Give me one.

Give me one.

Give it to me.

Shenjian!

Who is so bold?

Me, Juling Deity!

So it's you, you useless deity.

Don't speak nonsense.

You stole Heaven's magical tool

to release germs,
contaminate villagers,

and create chaos in the Human Realm.
You're unforgivable!

That's a bunch of crap.

He's not a deity.

He's a demon.

You can't eat what the demon gives you.

Give me one.

Look.

He's really a demon. You can't eat that!

Demon!

I'm not lying to you, right?

Mother!

Yun'er.

Yun'er.

Mother.

Yun'er.

This is bad.

Remember what you did.

I'll surely take revenge!

Your Highness!

Your Highness, bad news.

Some villagers sneaked
into Shuixian Cave

and stole the yunpian cakes.

Why are you so flustered about that?

I think Ms. Qi left the cave
without permission

and chased after them.

The water jar is empty as well.

That's strange.

Why isn't anyone living here?

Help!

Who's calling for help?

Help!

Based on the voices,
they seem to be men.

My goodness, how boring.

You evil disciple.

It doesn't matter
that the person you save is a man or woman.

Wukong, go and save him.

Hurry up.

How should I save them without fighting?

Of course...

Use love to resolve conflict.

Hurry up, go.

Understood.

Remember to hug them.

Stop!

Stop running!

Everyone.

Let's talk this out.

Don't always resort to violence.

Scram!

Let's resolve the problem, if any.

Let's give each other a sincere hug

and use love and peace to give warmth
to each other.

As if!

Don't.

Wait!

Love and peace.

You wicked beast!
Why did you hurt someone again?

Hey, you.

Why did you push me?

That face looks so scary.

Master, save us.

Sirs, please stand.

Please stand up.

May I ask what happened?

Wait.

Who are you?

Move.

Here's the thing.

My Master asked me to use
my sincereness to...

Miss.

How can I help you?

Scram.

Fine.

Did they bully you?

Tell me.

I'll take revenge for you.

They stole our yunpian cakes.

My goodness.

Master, look.

The people in our village
are suffering from a plague.

They can only be healed
by eating yunpian cakes.

These cakes are still
at the experimental stage.

They can't be eaten yet.

It's better than just waiting to die.

Regardless,

you can't steal them.

Hey, look at you.

Stop eating them.

Master.

Master, step back.

Wait.

I'll handle it.

See?

This is the power of love.

What a nag.

Sir, don't be angry.

My stubborn disciple
is learning from me.

Don't embarrass me.

Master.

Master.

It's a misunderstanding.

Master.

It's all a misunderstanding.

Give me more time.

You lousy monk.

Master.

Master.

I can't take it anymore.

Don't be rash!

My goodness, Master.

Master, are you all right?

- I'm fine.
- Let's go.

Did you see that?

I did it.

Master.

She helped you deal with them.

Nice moves, miss.

That's why I told you,

in the journey to retrieve Buddhist sutras,

not only demons exist.

She's a fox demon.

Right.

So what?

You, you, and you.

You're a monkey demon.

You're a pig demon.

You're an airbreathing catfish demon.

Tang... Tang poem demon?
(This sounds similar
to airbreathing catfish)

You're a poet, Mr. Sha?

I think he's a catfish.

There's a big difference

between a catfish
and an airbreathing catfish.

All right, stop arguing.

Regardless if she's a human or a demon,

she's willing to help people.

Compared to you, Wukong,

who can only use violence
to deal with violence,

she's so much better than you.

That's right.

Monkey demon.

Why didn't it occur to me?

Are you really
the legendary Monkey King?

You look a bit like him.

Oh my god.

In my life,

I... I can't believe that I can see
Monkey King in person.

I've always wanted your autograph.

By the way,

my name is Xiaoqi.

Qi as in seven.

Sir, you are...

My Dharma name is Sanzang.

I came from Tang in the east

to go to the west to...

You're Tang Sanzang?

I heard that anyone who eats you
can become immortal.

Can I take a bite?

I'm already...

You're so naughty, Ms. Qi.

Master.

Can I sign an autograph?

Of course.

No.

Since you've already converted
to Buddhism,

you should focus on retrieving the sutras.

Signing an autograph proves

that not only are you unrepentant,

you're even proud
about what you did back then.

Should I indulge you?

How was I wrong back then?

I just stole a flat peach,

but so many innocent monkeys

in Mount Huaguo

was killed.

Why should I repent?

So you never let go of this grievance.

Master, cut it out.

I've already converted to Buddhism.

I don't care about these things anymore.

We're just casually chatting.

Here, wipe your face.

Monkey King, what's the matter?

Monkey King?

What?

I acted impulsively back then.

It was really nothing to be proud of.

Ms. Qi.

May I ask

why they went to your house
to steal yunpian cakes?

That's a long story.

See you.

Shenjian.

Where did you go?

What exactly is inside
the yunpian cakes?

Why did the villagers mutate

after eating them?

The yunpian cakes are still
at the experimental stage.

It's hard to say
if there are side effects.

Don't forget.

Shennong was even poisoned
when he tried hundreds of herbs.

Then

why don't we tell the villagers
the hidden dangers

and let them decide

whether they want to eat them or not?

Didn't you see how those villagers

were snatching the yunpian cakes?

No one cares about
the survival of others.

They won't sacrifice themselves
all the more.

But...

But...

Unless

it's for someone they love the most.

But is sacrificing others
to save someone

really the right thing to do?

Forget it, you won't understand.

What happened?

Why are you so careless?

Xiaoqi.

You promised me you won't leave
Shuixian Cave.

Have you forgotten?

Shenjian.

Guess who I met today.

Monkey King

and Tang Sanzang.

Tang Sanzang?

Yes.

But I'm not sure

if they're fake.

I've heard that Tang Sanzang
is a master of Buddhism.

If I'm fortunate enough
to discuss sutras with him,

that would be great.

I'll help you find them then.

Stop.

Heaven sent someone here again.

That was fast.

Why won't they spare us?

Heaven is never soft-hearted on demons.

The world is so big.

Isn't there a place for demons?

Xiaoqi.

Your Highness.

Ms. Qi's primordial spirit
is about to disperse.

Even if we can use the villagers' souls
to extend her life,

she can only last a month or so.

I'll get going.

(Tang Sanzang.)

(You came just in time.)

Everyone, come here.

Greetings, Master.

Greetings, Master.

Sirs, please stand.

Please stand up.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

It's so itchy.

It's so itchy.

Master.

These citizens are quite sincere.

Why won't they give us any alms?

They've already lost their humanity.

Of course they won't give us alms.

Wukong, don't be rude.

It's so itchy.

Master, please save our chief.

He's been suffering
from a strange illness for many days.

No medicine can save him.

It's usual for us to help the sick.

May I ask where your chief is?

Master, please come with me.

Wait.

Master.

The vibe here is strange.

We should go on our way soon.

Their chief is sick.

How can we ignore him?

It's also a sin to not do good.

But they're not human anymore.

Here you go again.

Master, you're such a virtuous person.

Why did you take in an ugly

and vile disciple?

You...

Sir, don't be angry.

My disciple isn't good with words.

It's my fault for not teaching him well.

It must be hard on you, Master.

This way please.

Wait.

There are too many strangers.

I'm afraid our chief
won't be comfortable.

Head Disciple, Second Disciple.

Do you want to pee?

Let's go together.

Come on.

Mao.

Are you sure that there's
only one Monkey King?

Did you see Monkey King?

Yes.

But he looks obscene.

He speaks obscenely too.

You can't help but want to beat him up.

Monkey King's real capability

is locked in this soul-locking bangle.

If you can help him remove
the golden hoop

and merge with me,

he can become
the real Monkey King again.

Then he'll surely be
very thankful to me

and like me.

He'll invite Shenjian and I to live
in Mount Huaguo.

Then we won't be scared of being chased
by deities anymore.

This way please, Master.

Our chief is feeling unwell
and not acting like himself.

He has molds and sores.

He can't defend against wind, cold,
dampness, dryness and heat.

And he can't overcome the feelings
of joy, anger, sorrow, worry, and fear.

We should make adjustments
in his Yin and Yang elements

to balance them out.

Isn't this much better?

Do we need a cameo appearance
from a dogsbody?

Hairy boy, get lost.

Chief, you're so well-mannered.

This is for your foul mouth.

You wicked beast!

You promised me you won't
resort to violence again.

Why did you do it again?

Murder!

Come, everyone!

The monkey demon and Baldie
killed Chief!

Come quickly!

Sir.

It's a misunderstanding.

It's really a misunderstanding.

Act, go on acting.

You're all such great actors.

Shut up.

You...

These people have already turned
into demons.

They just want to eat you.

I told you, regardless if they're humans
or demons,

what's important isn't their identity,

but the method of subduing them.

I don't understand your method.

After peeing,

why did the villagers all die?

Isn't it obvious?

The monkey must have pulled a trick.

As if! Do I have that much free time?

Leave.

I'm retrieving the sutras
for the people in the world.

If you keep killing people
along the way,

what's the point of retrieving
the sutras?

If I hadn't killed them,
you would have been died.

You only have physical strength,
but you never cultivated your heart.

During the journey to the west,

I originally planned to dispel
your hostility.

Yet I can't change your temper.

Stop.

Retrieve sutras, righteousness,
and attain enlightenment?

I'm not interested
in those things at all.

I

just want you alive.

I don't care whether others live or die.

I don't harbor any great love for people.

I'm not capable of protecting
more people either.

If not for my freedom,

why would I go to the west
to retrieve sutras with you?

Head Disciple.

Why are you being so honest?

Forget it.

Let's part ways here.

I'll learn how to protect myself.

I won't trouble you.

You said that yourself.

Don't regret it.

I'll never regret it.

Don't be too sure.

Leave.

You're blind, and you can't distinguish
between what's right and wrong.

Head Disciple.

Mr. Monkey.

Go away.

Master.

Master.

Did we blame Head Disciple unjustly?

Right.

Let him be.

From now on, we'll only depend
on each other.

That's fine.

But the two of us might not...

Well...

Why...

Why are they...

What does this mean?

Master.

They're really demons.

Master.

Come out.

Were you stalking me?

No.

I look at the stars here daily.

Stay away from me.

Don't bother me.

You're so overbearing.

What's the matter?

Did you have an argument
with your master?

What does it have to do with you?

The west is so far away.

If you argue daily,

how many times will you be arguing?

We won't argue again starting today.

You won't go to retrieve
the sutras anymore?

Only a fool would do that.

Every day,

not only must I deal with demons
and monsters like you,

I must listen to Baldie's sutras
and teachings,

Piggy's talk about women,

Redhead's chats about cooking,

and the routinary
Golden Hoop Incantation.

Who can take all of that?

That's true.

Those deities see how people
are suffering in the Human Realm.

Not only don't they help,

they even give you a hard time
by giving you missions

and kill demons like us.

If the sutras are that important,

just tell the Luohans to deliver them.

Why must you go there to retrieve them?

I don't get the formalism.

It's good not to go.

That's right.

Back then, I was fearless.

Now, I'm just an errand boy

who serves that baldie.

Who the hell is he?

He's just relying
on the Golden Hoop Incantation.

We can chat,

but I didn't say that you can
come near me.

What if...

I mean what if

I help you remove your golden hoop,

how will you thank me?

Are you kidding me?

You think the golden hoop
is that easy to be removed?

I have my ways. What do you say?

What do you mean?

Remove it first, then we'll talk.

All right.

Here I go.

Why is Laojun's golden ring with you?

Golden cudgel!

Come back.

Come back.

Monkey King.

Are you all right?

You darn fox,
give me back my golden cudgel.

Give back my golden cudgel.

I don't know how.

I stole this

from Shenjian.

I really should have ignored you.

If you don't give back my golden cudgel,

I'll bite your tail off.

Mr. Monkey.

Mister...

Mr. Monkey.

You just parted with Master,

and you're being so lovey-dovey
with a fox demon here.

Don't be ridiculous.

This fox demon stole my golden cudgel.

I'm teaching her a lesson now.

Teaching her a lesson?

I understand that.

Go on then.

Baldie got captured, right?

Well...

I almost forgot.

Come with me then.

Whoever wants to go can go.

I'm not going.

I saved him repeatedly,

yet I just brought trouble upon myself.

Mr. Monkey, you have fiery, golden eyes.

But our master doesn't.

He still loves you.

Forget it.

He's an amateur,

so he must trust the professional.

Sun Wukong.

Don't forget who saved you

from Mount Wuzhi back then.

Don't forget your roots.

Without Master,

you'd still be in Mount Wuzhi now...

Fine, I'll go.

What does the demon look like?

I knew that you're loyal.

He has white clothes, long hair,

and looks mysterious.

I heard the villagers calling him Shenjian.

Shenjian?

That's impossible.

So you're with him.

Shenjian is a good man.

Take us to him.

After we save Tang Sanzang,

let's go our separate ways.

Come on.

Let's go.

Place the wine here.

Be careful. I'm talking to you.

Bring it here.

All right.

Place it here.

Place it higher.

Whenever I see this,

I know

that the demon wants to eat Master now.

Wait for me.

I'll ask Shenjian about this.

Dream on.

I won't lie to you.

If you really don't feel at ease,

I'll give this to you.

Go then.

If you dare to trick me,

I'll tear you apart like this book.

The troublesome one is gone.

Let's go from the back.

Aren't we waiting for Xiaoqi?

I'd rather die than trust a demon.

Word of honor is very important.

Tang Sanzang.

There are many demons
on the way to the west.

Any one of them can eat you.

Do you regret it?

I regret it indeed.

That lousy monk finally admits
his stupidity.

I regret blaming Wukong unjustly.

I told you.

Master still loves you.

But he always fights before thinking.

He's really the epitome of impatience.

He'd rather kill innocent lives

than communicate with me.

You must know that even if
you communicate with each other,

grievances might still exist.

And we're so different from each other.

If we're not united...

Head Disciple, calm down.

How can we work as a team?

Actually, Second Disciple
is at fault as well.

Every time you and Head Disciple
have a misunderstanding,

not only didn't he help resolve
the conflict,

he even added fuel to the fire.

Bajie, calm down.

Bajie.

I can't calm down!

I can't calm down.

Calm down.

You Tang poem demon.

You Tang poem demon.

You're good, Tang poem demon.

I usually show you respect

and call you Mr. Sha.

I didn't expect this.

I didn't expect that you

would be so sinister.

Wait.

Wukong, you're back.

I came to save Tang poem demon.

Head Disciple.

You Tang poem demon.

In terms of martial arts skills
and looks,

which one do you stand out?

Accomplish things
according to your ability.

Head Disciple is competent.

But so what?

Master infuriated him so much
that he left.

Who says so?

I left because I wanted to, all right?

Let... Let me say something.

Wait.

I understand your reasons now.

We're different from them, right?

We won't save him anymore.

Let's go.

-Head Disciple.
-Wukong.

Head Disciple.

We won't save him anymore, all right?

My goodness.

You want to leave after making a scene?

What's the matter?

You want to invite me
to eat Tang Sanzang?

Wuneng!

My idol.

We haven't seen each other
for many years.

I hope all is well with you.

We've met before?

You forced deities to embarrass
themselves back then.

You deeply influenced my world view.

Why did you turn out this way now?

I can't believe that you're working
for Heaven and Tang Sanzang.

Have you all misunderstood me?

Just think of me as a delivery guy.

Tang Sanzang is the package.

But the package thinks nothing
of his delivery guy.

This is what we'll do.

Let's make a pact as brothers,

split his meat between us,

and work together to go against Heaven.

Are you kidding?

I'll make a pact with you as brothers?

Are you an adult already?

People with different beliefs
cannot work together.

I can only eat Tang Sanzang in peace
if I eliminate you.

Head Disciple.

Shenjian.

You really captured Tang Sanzang?

Don't interfere in this matter.

Didn't we agree not to cause trouble?

This way, Heaven won't spare us
all the more.

You think Heaven will spare us

if I let them go?

Back then, I betrayed Heaven,

and the deity used deep thunder
to eliminate me.

You went and shielded me
from the thunder.

Since then, your primordial spirit
became unstable.

And you keep falling unconscious lately.

Only by eating Tang Sanzang now

can you save your life.

Nice, you lousy fox.

You even said you want to help me.

So you've planned this beforehand.

I'll tear this into pieces.

I didn't!

Sun Wukong.

Don't you dare harm Xiaoqi.

My powers.

Why?

Are you all right, Head Disciple?

Let's go.

Shenjian.

Promise me you won't hurt Tang Sanzang.

Mr. Monkey.

Even you couldn't defeat this demon.

I think

we should disband now.

As if.

If that lousy fox didn't take
my golden cudgel,

how would I lose to that retard?

If what Shenjian said is true,

then I'm the cause of all of this.

I'm willing to make up for his mistake.

Can you make up for it?

Only in merging with me

can you defeat Shenjian
and save Tang Sanzang.

Mister... Mr. Monkey.

You're merging with this fox?

You're shameless.

I wasn't the one speaking.

Who was it?

It was Mao.

Mao is awake?

What's this?

The soul-locking bangle.

Mao was the one who told me

the legends about you.

You don't have enough power now

because of Mao too.

What do I have to do with him?

It's a long story.

Back then, Jade Emperor

and Taishang Laojun tricked you

and locked you
in the pill-making furnace.

They used the Liuding Divine Fire
to eliminate your hostility,

turned that into some red hair,

and locked it
in this soul-locking bangle.

Later on, Shenjiang betrayed Heaven,

took the golden ring and soul-locking bangle
from Treasure Hall,

and hide the bangle in the Shuixian Pond.

Only when Xiaoqi got bored
and triggered the switch

did they find me.

Only when you and I merge into one

can you become Monkey King again.

Why should I believe you?

What if you're a hairy monster hidden

in the bangle?

You were from PÅ«rva-videha

born from a heavenly rock.

Can you tell me something new?

There's a mole on your butt

with a single hair on it.

Time is running out.

Let's talk about the merge.

There are six soul-locking pearls
on this bangle

that are sealing the soul in it.

When the wearer's anger value

reaches a certain number,

one of the soul-locking pearls
will be crushed.

Only when all six pearls are crushed

will the lock be totally released.

Then you and I can merge.

You want anger?

I'll help you.

Piggy, what are you planning to do?

You lousy monkey.

You're just a Protector of Horses,

and you think you're a hero.

Take a look at yourself

in the mirror.

When I was Tianpeng Marshal,

I don't even know where you were.

Now that you've become a bit competent,

you don't respect me at all.

Aside from infuriating Master daily,

you even show off in front of me.

I really want Master

to recite the Golden Hoop Incantation
ten times in ten minutes

to let you die.

I'm going to kill you.

Mr. Monkey, I was helping you.

Let me become angrier.

Hurry!

It's your turn, you lousy fox.

Promise me one thing then.

Aren't you done?

After recovering your powers,

you can't seek revenge from Shenjian.

That's impossible!

This won't be over until I kill him.

You stupid monkey.

I admire you so much,

but you wanted to kill me earlier.

Buddha trapped you under the mountain
for 500 years.

What's there to be proud about?

You're always so arrogant.

Why?

Who are you showing off to?

Don't you know that the times
have changed

in 500 years?

You're an old man already.

You're a has-been, all right?

Don't you see how well your old friends

are doing now?

I'm showing you respect by calling you
Monkey King.

If you keep acting out unreasonably,
I'll call you Little Macaque!

We agreed that no violence
will be involved.

This is worse than
the Golden Hoop Incantation.

Is there another way?

There is.

The magical axe Chenxiang used
back then

in chopping Mount Hua in half
to save his mother

is kept in Mount Erlang,
which is not far from here.

You can use it to break
the soul-locking bangle directly.

Why didn't you tell me sooner?

Will Shenjian

kill our master in advance?

Shenjian captured Tang Sanzang
to stabilize Qiaoqi's primordial spirit.

I don't think he'll die
if she's not back.

If she can't eat Baldie,

won't she be dead then?

Let me use my life in exchange
for Shenjian's then.

My friend.

Share what you have.

When the wearer's anger value

reaches a certain number,

one of the soul-locking pearls
will be crushed.

Give me all your money.

Hurry.

Hit me.

The harder, the better.

Come on.

Here.

You...

Hit me.

You said that yourself.

Come on.

Why did you only arrive now?

You told me to hit you.

Don't pretend like you didn't.

Stand up!

I win.

Give me your money.

Piggy.

Juling Shen.

It's you?

Juling Shen.

Why are you here?

Don't get me started.

I'm not afraid that you'll laugh at me
if I tell you.

I was commanded to come here
and eliminate a demon.

But the demon sucked up all my powers.

Don't tell me it was Shenjian.

It was him.

Who is this girl?

Why is she tied up?

It's that guy's sister.

Kill her then.

You lousy demon!

Don't be rash.

Shenjian and I

have already gone into seclusion
for many years.

Can't Heaven spare us?

He betrayed Heaven,

stole the golden ring and created chaos
in the Human Realm!

How can he be spared?

I'll beg Shenjian

to return the magical tool to you.

Will Heaven spare us then?

I don't call the shots.

What are you planning to do
in the future then?

I'm planning to find Chenxiang

to contact his uncle Erlang Shen
to come and pick me up.

Piggy.

We were former colleagues.

Monkey King, spare me.

Go.

Go.

Dou.

Bring everyone to Mount Erlang.

You must eliminate all of them.

Yes.

Come in.

Let's rest for a while.

My feet are swollen.

Where exactly is Chenxiang?

Untie me.

Why can we find him?

You'll run away if I untie you.

Look at me, can I run this way?

Bodhisattva.

Please let everyone

be safe from harm.

What a waste of effort.

Buddha won't protect demons.

I believe that Buddha

will protect all kind creatures
in this world

regardless if they're humans or demons.

How naive.

What's the matter?

Let me see.

It's so swollen that it turned
purple already.

Mr. Monkey.

You really don't know

how to take care of a woman.

It's all your stoic brother's fault.

It's because he's so competitive.

Silly boy, watch her.

This is the taste of freedom.

Monkey King.

Why are you accompanying Tang Sanzang

to the west to retrieve sutras?

How can I be free if I don't go?

After retrieving the sutras,

have you thought about
what you will do afterwards?

It will be amazing
after we retrieve the sutras.

I can...

I'm going...

How strange.

Before, I thought that after retrieving
the sutras,

I can do lots of things.

But now, I suddenly have no idea.

In that case,

let's go to Mount Huaguo together.

How did you escape?

Piggy fell asleep.

I knew Piggy is unreliable.

Why didn't you take the opportunity
to escape?

I've already promised

that I'll atone for Shenjian's sin.

Why do you want to go to Mount Huaguo?

Because Mao said

that Mount Huaguo is a paradise

that is free from worries.

I think that if Shenjian and I

live there in seclusion,

we won't be afraid of being chased
by deities anymore.

Heaven won't spare you.

If you go to Mount Huaguo,

you'll just turn it
into purgatory on earth.

I see.

All right then.

We won't go there.

I'll continue searching.

I believe that I can find
a worry-free place.

A worry-free place?

Does that exist in this world?

Let's find it together then.

Why did Chenxiang chop the mountain
to save his mother?

Sanshengmu was originally a deity.

Because she had Chenxiang with a human

and violated Heaven's commandment,

she was trapped under Mount Hua.

Later on, Chenxiang trained hard

and defeated his uncle

to save his mother.

That's a marvelous tale.

Too bad I don't know who my parents are,

and we don't have any stories.

A marvelous tale?

What's a marvelous tale?

It's a journey full of sacrifice
and pain.

But in leaving a story behind,

that means your life wasn't wasted.

You, Tang Sanzang,

Sha Wujing, and Bajie are in this story.

Your journey is so hard.

Being on this journey together

makes it a marvelous tale too.

I might not be able to have
a marvelous tale.

But I must strive hard

to be a happy, free, and normal person.

Can a normal person

be free?

What are those?

Herbs.

Apply them on your arm.

Aren't these

femininity grass
and contradictory grass?

Darn it.

Oh my god.

It's working.

I'm so happy.

This is bad.

This is great.

You're so cute.

I'm going to gargle with some heavenly
water in the gourd.

Pudgy.

Pudgy.

Mr. Monkey.

Pudgy.

I want some water.

You want some water?

It's not convenient now.

Monkey.

Put down your weapon and surrender,

or I'll kill him.

Dou. I'm right here,
and you dare to do this?

We're under His Highness' orders.

If we don't kill them,

we all must die.

You bunch of cutie pies.

You all look so cute.

Mr. Monkey.

Are you sick?

Open your beautiful mouth.

Piggy Baby.

I can't take it anymore.

-Mr. Monkey.
-Mr. Monkey.

That felt good.

Don't!

Monkey King.

It's me.

Mr. Monkey.

Monkey King is confused.

Go and find Chenxiang.

I'll lure him away.

Let's go.

Chase after them.

Chase after them.

Monkey King.

Monkey King in person.

Monkey King.

Monkey King.

Monkey King.

Monkey King.

It's me.

Monkey King.

Who's making trouble here?

So it's you, stupid monkey.

Let me show you how incredible
Magical Lotus Lantern is.

He almost killed you,

and you even risked your life
to save him.

Sanshengmu.

Why are you here?

Where's Chenxiang?

You monkey.

Instead of escorting Tang Sanzang,

why are you looking for Chenxiang?

You're Sanshengmu?

I've heard a lot about you.

Here's the thing.

Tang Sanzang was captured.

Now, Monkey King lost his powers.

We can only chop
the soul-locking bangle open.

We know that Chenxiang is here

guarding the magical axe.

That's why we came here.

Who are you?

I...

I...

My brother Shenjiang captured
Tang Sanzang.

I'm on that side.

But I promise he's not a bad person.

He was just impulsive and made a mistake.

Little fox.

Since you're so genuine,

I'll make an exception
and give you advice.

The Santu River carries the desires
of all living creatures.

As long as you go to Santu River

and use the Magical Lotus Lantern

to eliminate Shenjian's fire of desire,

you'll be able to win without a fight.

That is Santu River?

It looks like the deep end
of Shuixian Pond.

Shenjian was originally a demon turned
deity who was guarding Santu River.

Thank you for helping me get
another magical tool, Monkey King.

You're working together?

Don't listen to him.

I would like nothing more
than to kill him now.

Shenjian.

Don't continue making a mistake.

I have no choice.

I can only go all the way.

I didn't save you back then

to let you take revenge.

If I knew this would happen,

I wouldn't have shielded you
from the thunder.

Xiaoqi.

How exactly did they bewitch you?

In just one day...

It's fine.

After I kill this monkey,

I'll erase your memories again.

You've erased my memories before?

Don't you always say

that you want to find a worry-free place?

Only if I...

Only when you're with me

can you get rid of all your worries.

Because I'll get rid

of everything you don't want to hear

and see.

No wonder I don't know

that you've been doing bad things.

Go and find Chenxiang.

Promise me.

Don't harm him.

All right, I promise.

Xiaoqi.

Shenjian, just wait.

I'll kill you after I recover my powers.

Listen carefully.

Find those two bastards

and chop them into pieces.

Yes.

Is... Is it the mountain deity?

Why didn't I hear

that there's a mountain deity here?

The mountain deity is angry.

He's angry.

Help me walk.

My legs are weak.

Come on.

Chenxiang.

Who?

He's Chenxiang?

That... That is the heavenly axe?

All right.

Next, it's time for a reunion

with my disciple.

Step back.

Monkey King.

Are you all right?

I'm fine.

Chenxiang, you darn kid.

I'm your master.

Sun Wukong.

You'll surely die today.

Monkey King, we have no chance
of winning now.

Admit defeat first.

As long as you're alive,

there's hope.

You want me to admit defeat
to this loser?

I'd rather die.

What are you mumbling about?

Stand up.

Fight with me again.

Only in having forbearance
can you accomplish great things.

Otherwise, all of us will die here.

Wujing, I've really underestimated you.

Please pay more attention to me, Master.

Sure.

Let's go.

This is the taste of freedom.

Second Disciple.

What exactly happened?

Why is there a coup d'état
once Head Disciple is back?

A coup d'état?

As if.

Mr. Monkey submitted
to Shenjian's authority.

I can't believe he even carried
Shenjian's shoes.

When Xiaoqi woke up

and saw that,

she was so disappointed.

Xiaoqi asked Mr. Monkey...

Why are you doing this?

I can't believe Mr. Monkey said...

A wise man submits to circumstances.

With Shenjian,

I can eat meat

and drink wine.

Why shouldn't I do it?

Xiaoqi couldn't accept the truth,

then she fainted after Shenjian hit her.

Then Shenjian asked Mr. Monkey
to show his loyalty

by killing his disciple Chenxiang.

Sun Wukong felt tormented.

But he still chose to walk
towards Chenxiang.

He thought back to everything he endured
along the way

and his helplessness

and inability to escape this.

The humiliation
and unwillingness he felt

turned into extreme anger

and broke the fifth soul-locking pearl.

But the last soul-locking pearl
isn't broken yet.

Mr. Monkey still couldn't merge
and transform.

Sun Wukong still killed Chenxiang
in the end.

Then we were all captured.

I'm so disappointed.

It's fine.

The food is disappointing too.

Are these for humans?

These are for pigs.

Nice, you lousy monkey.

I was wrong about you.

Look at the chain on your neck.

It's a dog chain.

Wuneng.

Monks think everything is fated.

Wukong made his choice.

I don't blame him.

Yes, Master.

Don't make yourself seem so noble.

If you didn't keep misunderstanding me,

how would everyone fall
into this desperate situation?

Why did Shenjian lock the door?

Forget it.

I'll use the secret passageway.

Hey, if you don't get beaten up
in three days,

do you miss getting a beating?

Cleaning the toilet is Pig Face's work.

Tell him to do it.

Do it if I tell you to.

Hurry.

Fine, I'll do it.

Clean it well.

Darn monkey.

Hurry.

Open the chain for me.

Open it.

Do I know you?

You don't know me?

Aren't you the new waste dumper?

You're the toilet cleaner.

We're doomed.

Shenjian erased your memories.

This time... This time,
we're really doomed.

The one holding the Magical Lotus Lamp.

Come here.

I'm talking to you.

All right.

This is His Highness' new treasure.

Place it on the throne.

Go.

That's right.

Do you still remember
what Sanshengmu said?

Fire of desire.

Santu River.

I'm going to eliminate the fire.

Who exactly are you?

If you won't tell me,

I'll scream.

Guards...

Don't.

Tell me everything.

I'm Monkey King Sun Wukong.

Monkey King came here to clean toilets?

By the way,

don't you have a picture book with you?

How do you know?

Take it out, and you'll see.

Open it.

Flip through it.

That page has my signature.

[Monkey King]

Monkey King.

He's really Monkey King?

Don't.

I'll let go if you don't scream.

Monkey King.

You...

You... Why are you locked here?

You'll know if you come with me.

Where are you going?

Shenjian.

You've finally revealed
your true colors.

Where?

Xiaoqi.

Hide your tail.

It will get dirty getting dragged
on the floor.

Stop pretending.

Shenjian.

Why did you lock up Monkey King?

What a joke.

Monkey King is long dead.

What do you think?

Right.

He's dead.

But... But that's not
what you said earlier.

That's enough, Xiaoqi.

You should go and rest.

If it wasn't him,

who signed this?

I'm sure Monkey King is still alive.

You believe this nonsense?

How stupid!

Shenjian.

Don't go out of line.

You promised me

you'd make a pact with me as brothers.

Now, you're making me clean the toilet.

Because I don't trust you at all.

Guards.

Let me go.

Let go, let me go.

I'm not lying.

Monkey King isn't dead.

I'm Monkey King.

As if.

Go.

You think I won't kill you?

Why did Monkey King suddenly appear
in the cave?

Why did Shenjian suddenly become
so fierce?

Why don't I remember anything at all?

Do you still remember me?

Mao.

Damn you.

You stupid monkey.

You're so disappointing.

I'm going to kill you.

Mr. Sha.

Stop, Mr. Sha.

Mr. Monkey is putting on an act.

Mr. Monkey.

Mr. Monkey.

He's putting on an act?

Yes.

He's just pretending
to submit to Shenjian.

He's actually finding an opportunity
to save us.

Wukong.

Are you hurt?

It's really painful.

It's good that you can feel pain.

Now, you should know

how much those people you killed

have suffered.

Knowledge obtained on paper
always seems shallow.

I think this experience
won't be in vain.

Let's wash this bunch

of stinky-mouthed fellows.

Your Highness, the auspicious time
has come.

You can eat Tang Sanzang any time now.

Is the water boiling?

We just finished washing him.

Very good.

Don't let Xiaoqi know

about eating Tang Sanzang.

I'll get going.

Xiaoqi.

Xiaoqi.

Why won't you realize your mistake?

You're really lying to me.

I'm doing it for your own good.

I don't need it!

Monkey King, I'm here.

Do you remember what happened?

No.

But I know

what Shenjian has been doing already.

Take this.

Mr. Monkey, we'll go with you.

There's no need.

Protect Master well.

Monkey, don't think about leaving.

Be careful.

-Wukong!
-Head Disciple!

Monkey King, hurry.

Grab my hand.

Let's go to Mount Huaguo together.

He said that Mount Huaguo is a paradise

that is free from worries.

A worry-free place?

Does that exist in this world?

I believe that Buddha

will protect all kind creatures
in this world

regardless if they're humans or demons.

If you don't return my golden cudgel,

I'll bite off your tail.

In my life,

I can't believe that I can see
Monkey King in person.

My name is Xiaoqi.

Qi as in seven.

Monkey King.

I remember now.

Monkey King.

How are you doing?

I'm made of steel.

I won't die from a beating.

That's good.

Don't mind me.

Go and find Shenjian's fire.

I knew you'd come sooner or later.

It's you.

Monkey King.

Don't take what happened last time
to heart.

I already know my mistake.

What are you doing here?

Since Shenjian became a deity

and left Santu River,

I'm the one guarding this place.

This is Santu River?

[Santu River]

Santu River is also called Du River.

All the deepest hopes,

disappointments, greed,

and all sorts of desires
are all reflected here.

The stronger the desire,
the more intense the fire.

This is your fire of desire.

That's mine?

I once told you

that even if you go to the west
to retrieve sutras,

you won't be free.

You must have thought
that I was deluding you.

Each color represents a desire.

Revenge, selfishness, hatred,

fame, love, violence, authority,

they're all included.

It's precise because
you have these desires

that you were willing to escort
Tang Sanzang to the west.

But it's also for those reasons

that even if you retrieve the sutras,

you won't be free either.

I'm the master of my fate.

No one can force me to do anything.

Monkey King, what do you think

your golden hoop is for?

It's all because of this stupid thing.

Stop struggling.

Even if you remove your golden hoop,

you can't be free.

Desire and worry are two-sided.

The stronger your desire is,

the more your worry will torment you.

What about my fire?

Your fire was once very weak.

Lately, it's becoming more
and more dazzling.

You must

have a lot of desires.

Is there really no place
that's worry-free?

Without worries, there's self-denial.
[Buddhist of non-self doctrine]

With self-denial,

what's the meaning of living?

Without worries, there's self-denial.

With self-denial, there are no worries.

What about Shenjian's?

That's the one.

Monkey King.

Monkey King.

Monkey King,
use the Magical Lotus Lantern.

Sun Wukong.

If I don't kill you this time,

then I'm not human!

Come on.

Xiaoqi.

You're so disappointing.

You're the disappointing one.

Shenjian, I hope you've been well
since we last met.

You want to help this stupid monkey
to defeat me too?

You've already disturbed the balance
of Santu River.

Who knew that desire can motivate
but hurt people too?

As long as you're powerful enough,

you can fulfill your desires.

Xiaoqi.

Until when are you going to act up?

Put that down.

Put that down!

I'm sorry.

We were wrong from the start.

It's dangerous in the river.

Xiaoqi!

Xiaoqi.

Xiaoqi.

Xiaoqi.

I'm sorry.

I couldn't save you.

You're useless.

I'll handle the last one.

I'm finally out.

Xiaoqi.

The smell of a human.

Get lost.

I'm sorry.

I haven't seen a human for a long time.

I couldn't resist it.

You want to trap me using the golden hoop?

From now on, no one will dare

to order Monkey King around again.

Xiaoqi.

I never regretted
doing any of these things.

Do you still regret saving me back then?

With your poor martial arts skills,

you wanted to go against Heaven?

You're not Monkey King.

You're not him!

How do you know?

I'm sorry.

I wasn't standing properly.

That's right.

That demoralized

and weak Sun Wukong is already dead.

Now, it's my turn to control this body.

I can cause chaos

in Heaven again.

Mao. You're Mao.

Mao.

Didn't you promise me

that after merging with Monkey King,

you'll take me to a worry-free place?

Are you stupid?

It's so boring in a worry-free place.

Why did you lie to me?

Do I need a reason to lie to you?

Have you ever experienced being trapped

in a bangle for hundreds of years?

That feeling of pain

and loneliness

is very pitiful.

To be honest,

even if I lied to you,

I still like you a lot.

It's true.

You like me?

Yes.

Then why did you kill Shenjian?

That coward?

Don't you think he's very annoying?

I showed you respect.

If you bother me again,

don't blame me for not being nice.

Wukong.

Who's that?

Wake up.

Who's talking?

Shut up.

Head Disciple.

Master.

I have a question.

It's rare for you to take the initiative
to talk to me.

Please go ahead.

Why exactly are you going to the west
to retrieve sutras?

What is your purpose?

To spread Buddhism

and lessen people's worries.

Why doesn't Buddha just deliver
the sutras to us?

Why should we go there to retrieve them?

If Buddha delivers the sutras directly,

people won't treasure them.

The reason why we need to journey
to the west

is because we must eliminate
distracting thoughts along the way.

After experiencing so many trials,

we must remain as determined
as before.

That's how we'll be qualified
to spread the sutras.

In the future,

if we keep encountering demons
and monsters,

without using violence,

how can we defeat them?

You kill because you feel fear.

When you respect and love life
from the bottom of your heart,

fear won't exist anymore.

I understand now.

In the journey to the west,

it's not about how many demons we kill,

but how much power we get

and how much desires and fears
we overcome.

Shut up!

Sun Wukong.

Sun Wukong!

You coward.

So you're hiding here.

You are...

I'm Mao.

Give up.

Stop fighting.

Cut the crap.

Put that down.

Put that down.

I said put that down!

How is that possible?

I'm obviously 100 times
stronger than you.

One starts becoming strong

from the awakening of the mind.

That's impossible!

Xiaoqi!

I still have an unfinished business.

I haven't found a worry-free place yet.

Can you promise me

to continue retrieving sutras
with Tang Sanzang

and help me find the answer?

All right?

[Santu River]

After wearing it for so long,

it feels awkward not to wear it.

Monkey King.

Under Heaven's command,

we came to take your magical tool.

Erlang Shen, please go ahead.

Monkey King, you've transformed indeed.

You're not stubborn anymore.

Monkey King, we'll get going.

I'll buy you a meal next time.

I'm available any time.

Chenxiang.

Apologize to your mother on my behalf.

All right, Master.

-Don't push each other.
-Don't push each other.

-Everyone can get one.
-Everyone can get one.

This is yours.

Based on the sutras

and my own learnings,

I created this herb medicine.

I hope it will be helpful to all of you.

Don't push each other.

Don't push each other.

Don't push each other.

Hold it well.

-Don't push each other.
-Don't push each other.

Everyone can get one.

Everyone can get one.

All of you can get one.

Don't push each other.

Master is right.

Killing the villagers wouldn't really
stop the spreading of the plague.

We must start with the source.

Only kindness can cure all evil.

Mr. Sha, that's a belated comment.

Why didn't you say anything back then?

You're right, Second Disciple.

From now on, I must boldly express
my opinions

to avoid being labeled as sinister.

That's right.

Sha Wujing is right.

Many gaps started

with Bajie.

You're right, Head Disciple.

Mr. Sha, why are you this way?

Wuneng, Wujing, cut it out.

Second Disciple, it's because
you talk too much.
