New Journeys to the West

Deep in the land of China , a monk named Xuanzang wanted to go to a place where no Chinese people had gone before : India . He wanted to find out India ' s life . So with his enormous amount of food supplies and his tent , he began his long journey . Little did he know that he was going to face more dangers than he ever expected . After Xuanzang set off his journey , a group of talking monkeys in a secret cave were spying on Xuanzang . “ He is the savior of India ,” a rather fat monkey said . And the king of the monkeys , named the Monkey King , stepped up from his seat . “ I will “ protect ” him ,” he said in a deep voice , and left the cave in a flash . The monkey cackled loudly . Twenty-three days later , Xuanzang was in India , and was running out of food . Just when he was about to rest , he spotted a bustling village . He quickly went towards it and asked for food , but no one replied to him . Just then , the clouds darkened , and almost simultaneously , everybody ran indoors , even the fruit stall ' s owners . “ Food !” Xuanzang ' s eyes glowed as he spotted a fruit stall . He quickly ran towards it and grabbed some apples and bananas . Boom ! A deafening noise appeared and the dark clouds formed into a demon . It ' s eyes were oval shaped and there were no eyeballs at all . “ Ahh !” Xuanzang ran into the fruit stall and hid under a table filled with fruits . The demon shot lightning bolts at the stall and it immediately caught on fire . Xuanzang panicked and suddenly fainted for no reason . His last sight was a rather fat pig looking at him . “ The poison dart worked . Xanubi should be very happy ,” the Monkey King grinned . Just then , the pig , who was a talking one , punched the monkey . “ You stupid Xanubi ' s minions ! Nearly killed Xuanzang !” the pig who was named Zhu , shouted as the evil monkey leaped away from the fire . Zhu didn ' t followed the Monkey King . Instead he went to save Xuanzang . Zhu grabbed Xuanzang and took him away to somewhere extremely deep in India . “ Are you the Chosen One ?” he muttered as he placed Xuanzang in a secret place no human being has never set foot on . “ Zimbacolodence !” Zhu shouted and Xuanzang immediately woke up . “ Where am I ?” Xuanzang said . “ Pengling forest ,” Zhu said ,” the land of talking pigs . I am Zhu ,” “ Whoa ,” Xuanzanh exclaimed . “ Is this is India ?” “ Yes ,” “ How do I get out of here ? I need to find the secrets of India ,” Xuanzang said . “ Good question . The deepest secrets in India is in Xanubi ' s hands , the demon ,” Zhu said , sighing . “ Legend says that India was a thriving country before . India was a very high tech city , all thank to a giant book called the Book of Secrets . But now , the book is gone , and so India was poor again . That is why you came , Chosen One ,” “ How can I get to the book ?” Xuanzang loved that Zhu called him Chosen One . But he didn ' t know why . “ It ' s at the most mysterious part of India . The entrance of it is located at the border of India . It ' s so secret that only a few guards guard there . The entrance is very near this place ,” Zhu answered . I have to make China thrive , Xuanzang pondered . “ I shall teleport you there . Pigs have magic powers . Pigoteleporto !” Zhu chanted and Xuanzang disappeared . “ Make India thrive !” Xuanzang felt a bit of regret for taking the book to help China instead of India , but he ignored the feeling . Xuanzang was quickly surrounded by darkness , and he closed his eyes . When he opened them again , he found himself in a colossal room . The room was in deep blue color , and a chandelier hung above . The Book of Secrets was floating in the middle . Xuanzang can just take the book . Piece of cake , Xuanzang thought and he quickly grabbed the book and found the exit door , but he was knocked on the floor . “ Who ' s there ?” Xuanzang was nervous now . A monkey and a thin man appeared out of nowhere . “ DIE , savior of India !” the Monkey King kicked Xuanzang straight in the face . He slammed on the wall , a bit dazed . I have to get to the door and leave , Xuanzang thought .
