Who framed the Monkey King ?
Victoria Shanghai Academy , Lam , Darren - 10
“
Shut up , you ’ re just jealous of my powers !” screamed Sun Wukong , the Monkey King . “ NO , I ’ M NOT , I ’ M JUST- !” screamed Xuanzang , then stormed out of the door . Wukong threw himself onto his comfy bed in Heaven and tried to calm down , taking some deep breaths while wondering why his friend was acting so strangely . He gave another huge sigh , scratching his arms and rubbing his eyes , stroking his belly and hiccupping , and started to drift off .
Suddenly , he heard a noise and looked up , embarrassed , to see two soldiers staring down at him . One soldier nudged the other soldier , who shifted uncomfortably . The soldier looked around , as if hoping the floor would swallow him up , but it didn ’ t , so he reluctantly produced a script from his pocket and declared “ You are hereby accused of leaking secrets to the Co- ” but before he could continue , he noticed something . His script and the monkey were missing !
While the soldiers were babbling , Wukong had fled at full speed , and soon arrived at his friends ’ ( Xuanzang the monk , Sha Wujing , and Zhu Baije ) quarters . He arrived out of breath . “ Guys ,” he panted . “ I believe I ’ ve been framed by the Cow King .” “ Really ?” asked Xuanzang , who was all sweaty and dirty as if he had just arrived from somewhere . Wukong threw Xuanzang a stern , suspicious look and continued , “ Anyway , I need you guys to help me find him .” “ Of course you can count on us !” replied Sha Wujing . “ LET ’ S GO !” cried Zhu Baije eagerly , and over Xuanzang ’ s objections that they should be more cautious , they sprinted off from Heaven towards land .
After they reached land , they approached an eerie cave . Wukong insisted they go through it to find more clues , while Sha Wujing and Zha Baije made a strong case for scaling it and Xuanzang maintained they should turn back . Finally , they decided to climb it to look for the Cow King . The cave roof was steep and slippery and the four kept on falling . Luckily , they were able to climb up to the summit and were about to descend when Xuanzang slipped and fell ! Fortunately , Zhu Baije grabbed him and they continued . But the rock in front of them suddenly came to life and knocked over Sha Wujing ! Wukong tried to block the rock with his staff , but the rock knocked the staff out of Wukong ’ s hand and tripped him , making him fall into Zia Baije . Xuanzang tried to stop the rock , but it was too strong . Then , suddenly , just when all hope seemed lost , the rock disappeared without warning and Xuanzang fell straight towards a hole ! But Wukong grabbed on to him , and they continued their journey .
WHAM ! The door to the Cow King ’ s cave flung open , and the four charged inside , weapons clutched in their hands . A shower of sharp rocks greeted them . “ NO ! NO ! GET OUT , I ’ M BUSY !” screamed someone . Wukong immediately leapt up the rock face and there stood the mighty Cow King . Wukong started to attack him , pinning him down to the ground . “ Why did you frame me ? I didn ’ t leak any secrets ,” screamed Wukong . “ What ?” asked the Cow King . “ I didn ’ t . Someone must have framed me that I framed you .” “ Who ?” cried Wukong . “ A man who wore robes and looked like a monk . He threatened to kidnap my daughter unless I signed an agreement saying that I framed you , so I did . However , my daughter still disappeared . Oh , what a tragedy !” sobbed the Cow King . “ We ’ ll get your daughter back and find the culprit , but did he or she leave any clues ?” Wukong asked the Cow King . “ No ,” replied the Cow King . “ We ’ ll do what we can ,” said Wukong before jumping off the cliff and telling his friends about his encounter with the Cow King . Xuanzang , however declared “ Huh , he might be lying .” Wukong was deep in thought but then something caught his attention . “ There ’ s a piece of pure , fine silk on the walls !” Wukong immediately started to investigate , while Xuanzang insisted it was nothing special . So they hurried out of the cave .
WHOOSH ! Dust flew up in the air as Wukong and his friends raced along . “ Why are we rushing back towards Heaven ?” asked Zhu Baije . “ That ’ s because the silk we found is mainly worn in Heaven , and I have a hunch about who the culprit is ,” replied Wukong . He sprinted over to just under Heaven , then he and his friends summoned their magical clouds and flew up .
