    The Monkey King - Quest for the Sutra
    (Canto: Chai Tin Dai Sing Suen Ng Hung)

    Story Overview

    Every twenty million years, the sun’s black spots will explode and create a universal storm, the strength of the gods in the heavens will weaken and the great demon representing the dark powers will appear. The only way to defeat the great demon is for a person who is born in a certain year, certain month, certain day, certain hour, certain minute and certain second to go to the West and collect the “Sam Jong Sutra” and when the demon appears to use the strength given in the scripture to defeat it, otherwise the heaven and earth will become adjoined and return to their amalgamated form and the plethora of demons will reign.

    Among the scripture collectors was Suen Ng Hung (Monkey). Because Monkey has absorbed the essence of the sun and the moon and is naturally intelligent, he quickly became a powerful immortal monkey. Meanwhile, Lee Ching’s wife Yan gave birth to Na Ja after a three year pregnancy. Na Ja is gifted and quick to learn, but his relationship with his father is rocky.

    To go to the East Sea to request a weapon, Monkey wreaks havoc in the Dragon Palace and takes away the magical treasure – Ocean Calming Magic Needle of the East Sea to use as a weapon, becoming his Golden Staff, but causing earthquakes and tidal waves. The third prince of the East Sea Ngo Bing is sent by his father to retrieve the waves and coincidentally meets Na Ja, who doesn’t realise what he is doing and thinks that he is causing these winds and waves and pulls out Ngo Bing’s central nerve as a punishment. The East Dragon Emperor is angry and goes to the Heavenly Palace to plead his case. Lee Ching is horrified to hear of Na Ja’s actions and decides to kill Na Ja to repay his guilt. Mistress Yan anxiously sacrifices herself to save her son. Na Ja deeply hates his father for causing the death of his mother and cuts his flesh and bones to repay his father. Finally his soul is rescued by Tai Yuet Venerable Man and he follows Tai Yuet to learn magical skills.

    After Monkey has obtained the Golden Staff, he holds a “Showing Pole and Showing Strength Ceremony” where he meets the White Bone Demon. At this time, the gods in heaven find that Monkey has great power and decide to use a soft approach on him and make him an official of the court. In the Heavenly Palace, Monkey meets with the greatest of the ten thousand flowers in the Palace Gardens – Purple Orchid Fairy, it turns out that Purple Orchid was the flower, which grew 10 million years ago on the meteor which landed on Flower and Fruit Mountain. During his time in the palace, Monkey meets with Na Ja and after a couple of fights, the two become good friends. Na Ja and Purple Orchid’s little sister Purple Rose fall in love. One day, Monkey finds that his ranking is low and once again wreaks havoc in the palace and the Peach Ceremony, causing the reason for his punishment. Eventually, Buddha lends a hand and traps Monkey for eternity under his Five Finger Mountain. Na Ja tries but cannot rescue him and becomes trapped in Lee Ching’s Pagoda. Purple Orchid also begs mercy for Monkey, but is punished herself by having to face the wall and consider her wrongs for five hundred years.

    Over 480 years later, Tang Sam Jong from the Golden Hill Monastery reaches the age of 18; Tang has special powers and has a memory which remembers anything which passes his eyes, he is fluent in Sanskrit and is a language expert.

    At this time, a black spot in the sun explodes and there are massive changes in the heavenly palace, Buddha and Guanyin predict that there will be a major explosion in the sun’s black spots within the next ten or so years, Buddha uses the power of the emperor Tang Tai Chung to find Tang Sam Jong. Under the guidance of Buddha and Guanyin, Monkey is fitted with the Golden Ring and is given the task of protecting Tang on his journey to the West on his Quest for the Sutra.

    In the early stages of the journey, Tang also takes on the White Dragon Horse, Sandy and Piggy as disciples and companions for the journey. Monkey is proud and hot-headed, often clashing with the views of the sympathetic Tang because of the difference in their opinions.

    On the way, Tang is not happy with Monkey killing a living being and scolds him, Monkey leaves in anger and returns to the Fruit and Flower Mountain. However, Tang and his companions meet with a strange Snake Demon and Monkey cannot fight his will to rescue his master and rushes to help them. After this, they build on their teacher-pupil relationship with each other.

    The White Bone Demon eats the Flower of Love which can corrupt the thoughts of all life and is manipulated by the Great Demon to make Na Ja evil. Purple Orchid is released from the cells and escapes from the Heavenly Palace to look for Monkey.

    The troupe arrives at the Fiery Heat Mountain where they meet with the Red Boy, the Six Eared Monkey, Ox Demon King and Fire Wing Priest who all plan an ambush, finally Monkey fights them all off. Lee Ching father and son are entranced by the White Bone Demon and fight each other, Na Ja is finally affected by the Great Demon and becomes truly evil.

    (To be continued...)

    Phew... here is Part 2 of the overview.

    Story Overview continued...

    After the battle on the Fiery Mountain, Piggy becomes possessed by a ghost and causes a band of demons to attack them all, at this time Tang meets a poor girl ghost called So So and agrees to her request to go to the Ghostly Realm and exorcise the Old Black Wind Demon and find her body. They all arrive at the Black Wind Mountain and the Old Demon sets up a Creepy Wind Spell with Na Ja as part of the framework in the trap! The Old Demon uses the Spirit Calling Magic and Monkey and his companions are in grave danger. Just as the brothers are unable to break the magic in the spell, Tang cuts himself to let out his blood, all the ghosts and demons push forth to suck his blood and they are all exorcised by his holy blood, defeating the Old Demon. At this time, Monkey becomes very honourable and his powers start to multiply. After the battle at the Black Wind Mountain, Monkey and his master become even more unified.

    After passing through the Black Wind Mountain, they arrive at the Western Territories. They find that the villagers are abnormally spiritual, but the items they are worshipping are all immortal objects, which have fallen from the Heavenly Palace.

    The pet treasures, which Great Demon has sent out are also starting to wreak their evil, Piggy first meets with the Nine Dragon Son-in-law’s lover, the serial liar Spider Demon and falls in love with her at first sight. Spider Demon only wants to use Piggy to get close to Tang so that she can eat his flesh. At this time, her Demon self appears and creates a Hundred Beast Spell, Monkey tries to fight it with all his might and uses the treasure from the Ding Lake to overcome the Beast Spell.

    After defeating the Hundred Beast Spell, they all continue with their journey and in less than a day, they arrive at the fake Western Heavens and everyone is joyous in delight, thinking that they have succeeded in their task and have safely passed all the dangers, however the powerful Tang realises that this is just an illusion. When they all wake to reality, the illusion vanishes but time has passed and the oncoming doom is upon them. Troubles seldom come alone and at this time, another Buddhist treasure, the Seven Treasure Heaven Lord Umbrella arrives. Monkey cannot battle the Seven Treasure Umbrella alone and only Tang with his totally focussed mind and clarity of heart can with the stroke of a hand tame the power of this magical item.

    After the Spider Demon’s failure to taste the flesh of Tang, she wants to eat Piggy instead, although he is able to escape, he is hurt by his feelings for her. At this time, Piggy accidentally drinks the waters of the Western Liang Nu Country’s springs and amazingly becomes pregnant, luckily Piggy is eventually able to be rid of his foetus and travel towards the Western Liang Nu Country. After entering the West Liang Nu, Tang and the troupe find that the country is totally inhabited by women. It turns out that hundreds of years ago, an emperor laid down an anti-buddhist policy, an innocent priest was killed and as he died, he cursed that the country would only have female descendents. Monkey and his group work hard and finally reverse the curse.

    At this time, the power of the Great Demon is growing greater and greater. The Blood Demon ambushes Tang and Monkey and his companions are injured in the fight, luckily the Seven Treasures Umbrella appears and sends out a perfect light to disintegrate the Blood Demon.

    Everyone finally arrives at the Western Heavens and the Great Thunder Sound Monastery and obtain the Great Golden Sutra to take back to the Central Plains, at this time, the Tang emperor sends out an edict to spread the words of the Great Golden Sutra.

    Just at this time, the black spot in the sun’s effects become greater and the universal storms grow stronger. The Great Demon’s powers reach new heights. The Great Demon shows signs of movement in the sealed dark cave and the immortals’ power continues to weaken as the crisis of the earth is about to take place. Monkey and his master hasten to stop the Demon from breaking out from the cave. At the call of the Great Demon’s evil power, Na Ja heads to the dark cave. At this time, Lee Ching who has awoken from his trance gives himself up to save the world from destruction and persuades Na Ja to change his ways and help to save the world. Na Ja cannot fight against the love of family and finally overcomes his inner demon, helping them to fight the demon.

    Monkey eventually breaks through the secret of the Golden Sutra and at this time when the citizens of the whole country are chanting the scripture and their unified spirit fights against the power of the Great Demon. The Demon uses sneaky tricks to fight Monkey, but Purple Orchid defends him, the White Bone Demon also overcomes her evil and repents, giving up her life for Monkey. In his sorrow, Monkey forgets his loves and arrives at the level of enlightenment which is beyond mortality, releasing his ultimate strength. Using his mental strength, he sends the Great Demon back into his cave and successfully seals him in. All the immortals and buddhas overcome the chaos and regain their powers.

    In the sunshine after the rain, each has their own paths to follow, Monkey overcomes his feelings and is greatly enlightened and is made the warrior Buddha as he goes from place to place to spread the Buddhist teachings…

    Episode 1 - Monkey meets with the Old Po Tai

    $this->handle_bbcode_img_match('http://tvcity.tvb.com/drama/monkey_king/story/img/285/01285M.jpg')
    Old Po Tai, how did you manage to get so injured?

    A meteor from beyond the heavens falls into the Fruit and Flower mountain and binds with the seed of a Purple Orchid, creating a fate to last a lifetime. After an unknown number of years, the meteor hatches a monkey, scaring away all the other monkeys. This monkey which is named Exploding Rock monkey rescues the Exploding Bowl monkey and his grandson and becomes good friends with him. Exploding Rock finds the monkey leader is cruel and greedy and cannot help but challenge him, resulting in Exploding Rock beating him in three bouts and hailed as the new Monkey King. Time passes by and Exploding Rock sees Exploding Bowl grow old and weak, in order to find immortality for his monkey sons and grandsons, he decides to head out to the Central Plains to find an immortal to learn the magic of everlasting life. Exploding Rock finds out from a Taoist priest that he can learn the magic of immortality from the Three Star Temple and he happily heads there, but is shooed away, in the night he meets with a white-gowned old man. The old man feels that Exploding Rock is kind at heart and gives him a plaque supporting his entry to the temple, Exploding Rock is overjoyed. It turns out that the old man is Three Star Temple’s founder Old Po Tai, he wants to be a perfect immortal, so he created an Old Po Tai who has only seven feelings and six needs. Exploding Rock enters the Three Star Temple to work hard at learning magic and after completing his study, he calls himself Suen Ng Hong (Monkey). Monkey returns to the Fruit and Flower mountain but the monkeys don’t recognise him as their Monkey King, luckily Exploding Bowl appears to enlighten them. When Monkey is sleeping, the Black and White Abnormals come to collect his spirit, Monkey goes to find Chung Kwai to find out what is happening and gets into a fight inside Chung Kwai’s stomach with Chung Kwai’s soul.

    Episode 2 - Monkey and Chung Kwai become good friends

    $this->handle_bbcode_img_match('http://tvcity.tvb.com/drama/monkey_king/story/img/286/01286M.jpg')
    Seeing as you fulfil my two criteria I will let you off.

    Monkey boldly manages to save Chung Kwai’s life and the two end up drinking and chatting together, eventually becoming good friends. Chung Kwai explains that the book of life and death does have the name Suen Ng Hong in it, but he will let him off because he meets with two criteria. Monkey goes back and teaches magic to the other monkeys, but they won’t sit still because of the ticks. Monkey blows away the ticks and sends them to the Ox Demon King’s body. The Ox Demon angrily challenges Monkey to a size contest, afterwards he feels that Monkey is an honourable chap and invites him to a ball, the two become adopted brothers. The Ox Demon sees that Monkey doesn’t have a weapon so he suggests that he goes to the East Sea Dragon Palace to grab the Sea Calming Needle. Monkey arrives at the Dragon Palace and finds that the Dragon King hasn’t even seen a dog before and is a lonely and pitiful being so he drags him up to the skies to see the beautiful world. The Dragon King finally feels the sunshine, the gentle breeze and the feeling of the world at your feet. After the two return to the palace, the Dragon King secretly gives the Sea Calming Needle to Monkey. Lee Ching sees that his wife has been pregnant for three years and not yet given birth and consults with the Court Astrologer who tells him that the child is an evil spirit who will be unlucky for his parents, he hopes that the Astrologer will help him to get rid of this evil spirit, but he ends up causing this child to be born. Lee Ching calls the child Na Ja and it doesn’t take long for Na Ja to grow up, frightening his father to death. The first time father and son meet, they end up with a fight, with Na Ja’s fire ring burning the ancestral plaque and house to nothing and causing the wrath of Lee Ching. When Na Ja went to the East Sea to get water to put out the flames, he met with Monkey and the Third Dragon Prince, pulling out the central nerve of the Prince, making it into soup for Lee Ching to drink, nearly causing the death of his father by anxiety. The Ox Demon introduced to Monkey the best of the beauties in the Demon world, when Monkey sees the demons with the beauty, he feels unwilling. The Ox Demon and the demons peek at the beauty bathing and find out she is the White Bone Demon. When she sees the demons running away she is distressed.

    Episode 3 – General Tin Fung becomes a Piggy

    $this->handle_bbcode_img_match('http://tvcity.tvb.com/drama/monkey_king/story/img/286/05286M.jpg')
    How come you have become a White Bone Demon as well?

    The White Bone Demon explains that her master has told her that her life is full of love troubles and a curse has been placed on her so that men cannot get near to her, Monkey turns into a White Bone Skeleton to make her happy and kisses her to overcome her curse, White Bone Demon develops affections for Monkey. The Great White Golden Star invites a group of Immortals down to the earth to check out Monkey’s credentials, Purple Rose suggests herself to join them but is turned away, so she asks two immortals to secretly smuggle her down to the earth but she is spotted by the General Tin Fung who guards the South Heavenly Gate and he stops her, saying that she has not fully developed yet and is trying to seduce him, Purple Rose bears her dislike for him in her heart. Yee Long San takes some heaven soldiers down to the Lee family home to seek Lee Ching under the orders of the Jade Emperor to capture Na Ja for killing the third prince, Na Ja’s mother commits suicide to bear his guilt and Na Ja is devastated, blaming Lee Ching for not rescuing his mother and for seeing him as an eyesore, angrily severing his bones to repay his father and his flesh to repay his mother. The White Bone Demon is taking over Monkey’s life and he is finding this hard to bear. Master Tai Yuet sees Na Ja’s spirit is not dispersing and not willing to go and reincarnate and wants to help him back to life with his magic, in exchange Na Ja must no longer show hatred towards Lee Ching, Na Ja agrees. Purple Rose plots and tricks Ng Kong into feeding Tin Fung some very strong liquor and in his drunken stupor, Tin Fung goes for Sheung Ngo, but is luckily stopped by Ng Kong. The Jade Emperor says that Tin Fung has gained a mortal heart and he is sent down to the earth to experience a thousand generations of tragic love affairs as punishment, Purple Rose begs for mercy but fails. Purple Rose feels guilty and wants to change the King of Hell’s reincarnation log so that Tin Fung becomes reincarnated into a rich household, but as a pig! When Tin Fung finds that he has become a pig, he is devastated, Purple Rose secretly goes down to the earth and gives him a golden pill so that he can regain his powers, but he is still waiting for hundreds of years, in his anger Tin Fung falls into the lake. Tai Yuet uses the Lotus Pod to help Na Ja back to life and tests him to ensure he will keep his promise, sending him to deliver an immortal pill to Lee Ching, but Na Ja sees through this plan and pretends to be good to his father and as soon as Tai Yuet goes off on his travels, he returns to seek vengeance against Lee Ching.

    Episode 4 - Monkey is made an Official Horse Guard of Heaven

    $this->handle_bbcode_img_match('http://tvcity.tvb.com/drama/monkey_king/story/img/286/09286M.jpg')
    How can I - handsome General Tin Fung suddenly become a fat pig?

    Na Ja wants to kill Lee Ching to avenge his mother, but Lee Ching uses his gift from Tai Yuet, the Ling Lung Pagoda to capture Na Ja. Yee Long San is sent by the Jade Emperor to take some heaven soldiers down to the Lee Home to invite Lee Ching and his son up to the Palace to join the Heavenly Army and for Na Ja to undergo some training to enter the leagues of the immortals. Yee Long San then goes to the Fruit and Flower Mountain to pay his respects to Monkey and make him an official Horse Guard of the court, Monkey realises that he can join the leagues of the immortals and is delighted, White Bone tries to oppose this but with no success. Monkey arrives to report at the Heavenly Palace, but Yee Long San refuses to let him bring the White Bone Necklace into the palace. White Bone follows but the heaven soldiers return the necklace to her and send her away, White Bone is greatly annoyed. Monkey’s new assistant Siu Bat warmly welcomes him and wants to speak but stops. Mo Kuk Star wants Monkey to look after his horses well, but Monkey resents his show of authority and transforms his horses into spotted horses, scaring Siu Bat to death. All the male immortals admire the most beautiful Purple Orchid Fairy, but Orchid is not interested in any of them. The rules of Heaven are such that if you succeed in ten competitions you may enter the free immortal league, Na Ja has already succeeded in eight bouts and Purple Rose goes to see his ninth contest and is attracted to his handsome looks. Mo Kuk sees that Na Ja has not followed his instruction to lose and has an arrogant attitude and notes his hatred. Purple Orchid tells Purple Rose that she has been dreaming about the same person for a hundred years and the image is becoming more and more clear, Purple Rose laughs at her saying she is falling in love. Purple Orchid and Monkey meet on occasion in the forest, Orchid is given two black eyes by Monkey and is still smiling, which stuns Monkey, it turns out that the person she has been dreaming about is Monkey. Orchid asks Monkey to suggest how she can express her feelings to a person whom she loves, Monkey suggests she puts her feelings into a song. Monkey misses his monkey sons and grandsons and wants to return to the earth to visit them asking for a holiday from Mo Kuk, who suggests that if he can beat the opposition on the stage then he will let him take a break, Monkey agrees. Monkey arrives at the stage to find that his opponent is Na Ja and is surprised.

    Finally it arrive over here... TVB tapes 1 to 3 episode 1 to 6... this drama is not good as the first one in my opinion... but I guess they put loads of budget on this ... look at the celebrity playing inside huge budget woah (andy hui, sammi, william, nicholas) ... Well for now nothing in the first 3 tapes make me fall in love with the serie just hope later on it will change, it's true it's still the intro with these tapes... I'll guess I have to wait... what you guys think about JTTW3 ?
    Currently watching:
    (TVB): Many @ this time to name... ^^
    (Korean): None
    (Jap): None
    (Just Finish): ...

    I'm just starting to watch the first 3 eps too. The SFX seems to be way better than TVB, of course a humongous castlists.
    But still.... Not addicted to it yet.... slow start.

    and the stories are going way too fast.
