Kowloon Tong School ( Primary Section ), Lai , Pok Man - 12
I t was a sunny day in the Water Curtain Cave , and our monkey king Wu Kong , was enjoying this wonderful weather and fruits with his fellow monkeys . Suddenly , a cloud appeared in the sky . Wu Kong frowned at the sight as he thought the cloud is ruining the beautiful sky . Just as he was about to use magic to blow the cloud away , a monk jumped and land on the space at the front of Wu Kong . The monk bowed and Wu Kong recognized his old friend , the Sand Monk . Wu Kong was happy as a clam , offered a seat to the Sand Monk . The monk looked sad , urged Wu Kong to go to China with him . After wearing the armour , Wu Kong summoned his flying cloud , and the two flew to China . After they went into the room where the great Buddhist monk , Tang Seng , lived . But instead of finding Tang Seng reading and learning the teachings of Buddhism , they found nothing but only an opened Buddhist scripture .
Wu Kong was suspicious so he left the room to find the Jade Emperor and to ask him about where did Tang Sent went . The Jade Emperor , as lazy as usual , told Wu Kong to find Erlang Shen to get the emerald mirror in order to save the Buddhist monk . Wu Kung set off to the official residence of Erlang Shen .
Erlang Shen , bored , ordered Wu Kong to tournament he organised . Before Wu Kong ’ s anger drove him into attacking Erlang Shen , he was trapped in a room . It was not long till the first challenge came . Wu Kong found his opponent is a wild pig monster . It was holding an ax . Wu Kong charged and knocked the pig unconscious . Then , Wu Kong dealt with other challengers easily and finally , it came to the last challenge . Wu Kong had his stance ready but the challenger was Zhu Bajie , an old friend whom Wu Kong is with when the protected the Buddhist monk on their journey to the western regions to find Buddhist scriptures . Wu Kong was so surprised so his jaw dropped straight to the underground . However , Bajie , seems like he was meeting a totally unknown person . He only recognized Wu Kong as an enemy , and advanced towards . Wu Kong was again totally taken back by the acts of his pig friend . Under the reckless attacks by the pig , He had no choice but to fight . He suddenly remembered the teaching of his sensei – to not only fight in battle , think ! Wu Kong was just like waken by the teaching , and he quickly hit the pig under the jaw-the quickest way to knock him unconscious . The pig fell and was brought away . Just as the heaven guards was about to bring the pig away , Wu Kong stopped them in their tracks . He touched the pig on the ribs and the pig woke . Wu Kong took the emerald mirror and angrily brought the pig to the Jade emperor . The Jade Emperor knew what ’ s going on and restored Bajie ’ s memories . Bajie then , was tugged out of the heaven and was told to ready to fight by Wu Kong . Wu Kong headed to the west to find Vulture Peak , where the Leiyin Temple was . To Wu Kong ’ s surprise , when he looked into the mirror , he saw the Buddhist monk hanging on the ceiling of the temple . A large amount of monsters is conquering the temple . Wu Kong hurried to the temple with his staff out ready . Instead of finding out the temple swarming with ugly monsters , Wu Kong and Bajie found only the Buddha , where it usually was .
Wu Kong took the emerald mirror out , finding out the evil monsters are surrounding them and were ready to kill . As the solution was critical , Wu Kong wanted to fight the monsters . But Bajie seems to be smarter after his return to the heaven . He stopped Wu Kong from fighting and told him to turn into a piece of meat . He pinned a note on it saying “ Free Buddhist Monk Tang Seng Meat from the Bull Demon King ”. Bajie ran out of the door and threw the meat into the temple with all his might .
Red Hog , one of the Monster King ’ s men , pick up the meat and brought it back to his king . The Monster King is actually a zodiac sign , secretly came to earth to eat Tang Seng ’ s meat to become immortal . The Monster King , who named himself “ The Immortal Demon King ”, saw the meat and gulp in down without looking at it properly . The king then ordered his men to release the real Tang Seng as he thought this Tang Seng is fake . Wu Kong tried real hard to scratch his arms in the King ’ s stomach . He turned into a fly and flew his way out of the monster king ’ s mouth . Wu Kong swung his staff and destroyed the men and captured the monster king . Wu Kong brought him straight back to the heaven and to the Jade Emperor .
