00:00Journey to the West, Chapter 104, The Tang Monk and the River

00:05Wukong and his companions walked through the western paradise.

00:17The road weaved through a field of flowers and toured the spirit mountain.

00:23Bhajie looked up at the huge mountain and shook his head.

00:26It won't be easy to climb that.

00:31Wukong laughed.

00:33Don't ask me to carry you.

00:36The travelers soon arrived at a river with a strong current.

00:42Waves crashed into jagged rocks, spraying water everywhere.

00:47This river looks dangerous, said Wujing.

00:51But we must cross it to get to the spirit mountain.

00:54Bhajie sighed.

00:57We will never be able to cross this river safely.

01:02Let's just go home.

01:04Nonsense, said Wukong.

01:08Look over there.

01:10The monkey pointed upstream.

01:13A thin log lay across the river.

01:16It wobbled and shook as the water rushed under it.

01:19The Tang Monk looked at the log.

01:23Don't be silly, Wukong.

01:25We can't walk across that log.

01:27It's too thin.

01:29And it looks quite slippery.

01:32But that log is the only way to reach the spirit mountain, said Wukong.

01:36You must believe that it's safe.

01:40Watch me.

01:42The monkey hopped onto the log and ran across the river and back.

01:53See?

01:54He said.

01:55It's safe.

01:56Bhajie snorted.

02:00You don't weigh much, Wukong.

02:03But if I step on that log, it will break.

02:06I believe Wukong, said Wujing.

02:09We must walk across the log.

02:13Follow me, master, said Wukong.

02:16He pulled the Tang Monk toward the log.

02:20The monk trembled with fear.

02:23Don't make me walk across that.

02:25I'll fall into the river and drown.

02:28Let's just fly over the river, suggested Bhajie.

02:32We could carry master and the horse.

02:36No, insisted Wukong.

02:38The Tang Monk must make the entire journey by himself.

02:42We're here to protect him, not to carry him.

02:46Buddha won't allow master to have the true scriptures if he doesn't take every step himself.

02:52Just then, an old man appeared in a boat.

02:57I can take you across the river, said the man.

03:01Thank you, said the Tang Monk.

03:05He walked to the riverbank.

03:08My companion wanted me to walk across that log, but...

03:11The monk gasped.

03:15There's something wrong with your boat, he said to the man.

03:18It has no bottom.

03:20Water is flowing right through it.

03:23The boat is safe, said the man.

03:26Please climb in.

03:28Buddha is waiting.

03:30With a bit more hesitation, the Tang Monk stepped into the boat.

03:34He was shocked to find that he didn't sink.

03:45He sat on the edge of the boat as Wu Jing led the horse aboard.

03:50Bhajie and Wukong followed.

03:57The boat glided swiftly across the river.

03:59Suddenly, there was a splash.

04:06The Tang Monk looked at the water and saw a body floating downstream.

04:12He screamed.

04:14A man is drowned!

04:16Wukong put his hand on the monk's shoulder and smiled.

04:19It's you, master.

04:22What?

04:23Said the monk.

04:24Me?

04:26Wukong is right!

04:27Cried Bhajie.

04:28It is you!

04:30Look again, master.

04:31Said Wu Jing, smiling.

04:34The Tang Monk looked at the body more carefully.

04:38It was wearing the same Buddhist robe that he was wearing.

04:41It is me.

04:44Said the monk quietly.

04:46But how?

04:48You got rid of your mortal body, master.

04:50Said Wukong.

04:52You're a spirit now.

04:54You're one of us.

04:56Bhajie beamed.

04:57The boat soon reached the other riverbank, and the travelers stepped out.

05:16As they walked up the slope of the spirit mountain, the Tang Monk laughed in amazement.

05:22I feel so light, he said.

05:27I feel like I could run right up this mountain.

05:30Good, said Bhajie.

05:32Perhaps you could carry me.

05:35Everybody laughed as they continued up the mountain.
