H e saw a familiar face . “ My friend , how long has it been ?” said Xuanzang while he took time to realize that this was reality . “ Master !” shouted Sun Wukong with glee . They embraced each other , brother to brother . They then talked and talked like they have not talked in a millennium , mostly Xuanzang was doing the chatting . Sun Wukong then lead Xuanzang to the cave inside the waterfall of Spring Mountain , where they can roam about freely . “ My friend , I have one last adventure for you , one that takes you further than Vulture Peak , one that takes you to the new world . .” Said Xuanzang . “ I am always ready for adventure , master !” shouted Sun Wukong with excitement . He then lifted his Ruyi Jingubang and armed himself for adventure . “ Don ’ t be too rash , our adventure takes us the El Dorado , the hidden golden city . Remember you are still my student .” Warned Xuanzang as he snatched the Jingubang . “ We can take your cloud to Vulture Peak where I can pray to the Buddha . Then we have to cross a great desert all the way to a city glittering with gold . After that , we go North to the real West .” Explained Xuanzang . Then they packed their things and got on the flying cloud for another adventure .
They flew past the capital , past the land of the Buddha to Vulture Peak . That is where they prayed . They traveled on foot as always , bringing lots of water with them . They strolled through the jungles of India ; they then heard a familiar trot . It was Yulong , the dragon horse and guess who was with them . “ Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing !” Shouted Sun Wukong , it was just like old times again . “ I heard you people are going to the Golden city , so we decided that we did not want to miss out on fortune .” Proclaimed Zhu Bajie as he snorted . Xuanzang then mounted Yulong and they made way . The Great sea of sand then fell before them , they were not afraid they just went . Xuanzang then caught sight of a priest of the desert and seized this opportunity to spread Buddhism . “ My friend , would you want to see the power of the Buddha ?” Preached Xuanzang . The priest said no word , he then showed Xuanzang a symbol of a Crescent and a Star , “ I only listen to Allah .” Proclaimed the priest he then vanished into the sand . They continued on they dry journey ; they bought souvenirs from a merchant . The merchant had a strange animal called a camel , with two humps on its back . The merchant then led them to a shining city . The city of Agrabah
The city was full of traders with weird hats . Everyone looked at Xuanzang and his disciples with confusion . “ Dad , why aren ’ t they wearing turbans ?” Asked a girl as she was pushed inside her house with her dad . “ We should split up and enjoy this city seperatly .” Said Xuanzang . The group was split and everyone did their own thing . Xuanzang then came upon a lot of young men playing sport . They talked about a cave with riches that can make you richer then the Sultan . Sun Wukong was getting into lots of trouble ; the man was chasing him for stealing . Suddenly , there was a huge parade . The man had to scram . Guards then caught the five companions and brought them to the palace . The Sultan is pretty nice , he just wanted to know what they were up to . The Prince then took them to his room . “ What is your name ? Young man .” Asked Xuanzang “ My name is Aladdin .” Said the prince .
Aladdin then told them of his adventures about the Cave of Wonders , the magic carpet , and most importantly , the lamp . “ The lamp is still in my hands , I still talk to The Genie when I can .” Said Aladdin . He then handed the lamp to Xuanzang , “ You just rub it .” Reminded Aladdin . Xuanzang cautiously rubbed the lamp , out sprang up a The Genie . “ Master , how great is it to see you again ? I see you brought some guests too .” The Genie then examined the five and got excited . “ You guys are from the East ! I have always wanted to go there !” Shouted the Genie . Xuanzang then told Aladdin about Buddhism and what they believe in . Aladdin did not seem interested about religion . He told them about how he is going to marry Princess Jasmine . Jasmine came into the room , dressed in a light silk dress . She kissed Aladdin on the cheek and sat down to talk . They then talked about how Jafar , a wizard from Morocco is in the Cave on Wonders and is stuck there for eternity . They then dismissed themselves .
The next day , Aladdin and Jasmine got married at a huge palace and then they soared on the magic carpet . The people of Agrabah were cheering at the new prince and princess . Xuanzang and his four companions then said farewell to Aladdin and Jasmine . The gates of Agrabah opened for them and they moved along .
