00:00Journey to the West, Chapter 59, Scared Villagers
00:04Can we please stop to rest? moaned Bajay one day.
00:19The group had spent the morning walking down a long mountain trail.
00:24My knees feel weak, cried the pig.
00:27We'll rest in a little while, Bajay, said the Tang Monk.
00:32As they walked, the travelers started to hear the sound of rushing water.
00:38It grew louder and louder.
00:40We're approaching a river, said Wu Jing.
00:43The trail went around a hill.
00:47A moment later, the travelers saw the river.
00:51How will we cross this river, said the Tang Monk.
00:54It's so wide, I can't see the other side.
00:58Wukong leaped into the air and looked around.
01:04There's a small village nearby, he said.
01:07Maybe someone there has a boat.
01:11The group walked to the village.
01:13The street was deserted.
01:15A few villagers peeked out of windows and from behind doors.
01:21They looked scared.
01:23A man was getting water from a well.
01:26Hello?
01:27Said Wukong.
01:29Startled, the man dropped his bucket down the well and spun around.
01:33Who are you?
01:37The Tang Monk stepped forward.
01:40I'm from the Tang Empire.
01:42We're traveling to the western paradise to get scriptures from Buddha.
01:46The man relaxed a bit.
01:48That's wonderful.
01:50We need a boat to get across the river, said Bajay.
01:54I don't have a boat, said the man.
01:57But someone in the village might.
01:59Please come with me.
02:00I'll make some tea.
02:02My name is Chen.
02:05The travelers followed Chen to his home.
02:09Inside, they sat down as Chen boiled water for tea.
02:14Why does everyone in this village seem so scared?
02:16Asked the Tang Monk.
02:19Chen sighed and sat down.
02:23He started to cry.
02:26My dear man, said the Tang Monk.
02:29What's wrong?
02:30Did I upset you?
02:31No, said Chen through his tears.
02:35It's just that life is very bad in this village.
02:38A few years ago, a terrible demon arrived.
02:43He's always treated us badly, but now things are worse.
02:47He demanded that we give him a child.
02:50If we don't, he'll destroy our entire village.
02:53Tomorrow morning, I must hand over my son.
02:58Chen burst into tears all over again.
03:03Wukong giggled and then laughed.
03:05The Tang Monk glared at the monkey.
03:08Wukong, why are you laughing?
03:11Bajay shook his head.
03:12He's cruel, master.
03:15You should recite the tight headband spell.
03:17There's no need for that, said Wukong, still laughing.
03:22He turned to Chen.
03:24I'm not laughing at you, sir.
03:26I'm laughing because today is the luckiest day of your life.
03:30Chen raised his eyebrows.
03:32How am I lucky?
03:33You've probably never heard of me, said Wukong.
03:39But I am Sun Wukong, the Monkey King.
03:42I once defeated the Jade Emperor's entire army.
03:46And tomorrow I will save your son's life.
03:49Are you a spirit?
03:51Asked Chen.
03:51Yes, a very powerful spirit, said Wukong.
03:56Bring your son out here.
03:57I need to look at him.
03:59Chen left the room for a moment.
04:03When he came back, a small boy was with him.
04:06This is my son, said Chen.
04:15Wukong walked around the boy, examining him closely.
04:17Finally, the monkey folded his arms and said,
04:24I have a plan.
04:27The next morning, the boy climbed onto a small platform.
04:31Several villagers carried the platform to the edge of the river.
04:36They placed the platform on the ground and then backed away.
04:42For a moment, everything was quiet.
04:45The boy sat alone on the platform.
04:48Suddenly, a dark cloud approached.
04:52A fierce-looking demon emerged from the cloud.
04:56It had sharp teeth.
04:58The boy smiled at the demon.
05:01Hello!
