00:00Journey to the West, Chapter 106, The Question

00:04Guan Yin looked at the messenger in surprise.

00:15What is the problem? she asked.

00:18It's about the Tang Monk, said the messenger.

00:22To become a Buddha, he needs to face 100 challenges.

00:26I was just looking at the list of challenges he's faced.

00:31There are only 99 challenges on the list.

00:35He must face one more challenge to become a Buddha.

00:43We're moving so fast, said the Tang Monk, smiling.

00:47The travelers were flying back east.

00:50The guard from the Thunderclap Monastery was using a spell to carry them.

00:56I wish the whole journey had been this easy, said Bajay.

01:00Wukong laughed.

01:02Master was still mortal before we reached the Western Paradise.

01:06He couldn't be carried then.

01:09Wu Jing looked ahead.

01:11We'll reach the Tang Empire soon.

01:14Just then, a messenger caught up with them.

01:17The messenger whispered something in the guard's ear.

01:20The guard glanced quickly at the travelers.

01:23Then he looked back at the messenger and nodded.

01:28Instantly, the spell broke, and the travelers fell from the sky.

01:32Bam!

01:33They slammed into the ground next to a wide river.

01:41Wu Kong stood up and saw the guard and messenger flying back west.

01:45The monkey shook his head.

01:48What happened?

01:49The Tang Monk stood up and brushed dirt from his robe.

01:53Why did the guard drop us?

01:56I'll tell you why, said Bajay.

01:59He's a villain.

02:01He thinks it's funny to drop people.

02:04The pig waved his fist at the guard, who was now far away.

02:09Villain!

02:10Wu Kong turned slowly to the Tang Monk.

02:13I think I know why he dropped us, Master.

02:17You must face 100 challenges in order to become a Buddha.

02:22You probably got to the Western Paradise before you'd faced all of them.

02:26Oh no!

02:27The monk trembled.

02:29So other bad things must happen now?

02:32Wu Kong nodded.

02:34I hope there won't be too many more problems.

02:39The first problem is crossing this river, said Wu Jing.

02:42It looks familiar, said the monk.

02:46We must have crossed it during the journey west.

02:51Suddenly, a large form rose from the river.

02:56It was an enormous turtle.

03:00Greetings, said the turtle.

03:03Do you remember me?

03:04The travelers all smiled.

03:08Yes, we do, said the Tang Monk.

03:10You carried us over this river many years ago.

03:14Yes, said the turtle.

03:16And I will gladly carry you across again.

03:20Hop onto my back.

03:21The travelers climbed on, and the turtle started across the river.

03:31Wu Jing and Ba Jae soon fell asleep, while Wu Kong meditated.

03:38The Tang Monk stayed awake too, sitting near the turtle's head.

03:42Did you reach the western paradise, asked the turtle?

03:47Yes, said the Tang Monk.

03:50It is a wonderful place.

03:52We are now returning to the east so I can deliver the true scriptures.

03:57Good, said the turtle.

04:00Did you ask Buddha when I would be reborn as a human?

04:03The monk bit his lip.

04:08He had forgotten to ask the turtle's question.

04:12You're not answering, said the turtle.

04:16I'm sorry, said the monk.

04:19I, uh...

04:21Splash!

04:22The turtle suddenly dived under the water, dumping everyone off his back.

04:27Wukong's eyes flew open as he hit the cold water.

04:35He leaped into the air.

04:39Ba Jae, Wu Jing, and the horse quickly flew across the river.

04:46But the Tang Monk was thrashing furiously in the rushing water.

04:52Help!

04:53yelled the monk.

04:54Wukong cast a spell and lifted the monk and the bag from the river.

05:01When everyone was on dry land, the monkey turned the bag upside down.

05:07Water poured out, followed by the scrolls.

05:11They were soaked.

05:14The true scriptures!

05:15cried the Tang Monk.

05:17They're ruined!

05:18They're ruined!
