Thank you Journey to the West, an audio drama series. Chapter 8 Part 2 What is out to our big farewell to Shao Wu Xing and resumed her journey with Mucha to the land of the East.

After traveling for a long time, they saw a high mountain belt and menacing mist making it impossible to climb on foot. Just as they were thinking about crossing it by riding on cloud, a wild gust started and outlet another monster, He too had a terrifying appearance. Look at him, a droopy mouth like a Lotus sea pot, ears large like a cattail leaf fan.

His eyes were golden and his teeth sharp like steel files. When he opened his mouth it was like a bloody basin. Then his hands was a rake and on his waist was a bow. How very proud and how very fearsome. Few gods could carry this aura. He charged at them without asking, throwing his rake right down at Bodies Attwa, but was blocked by Mootah, the laborer. Mootah shouted at him.

Reckless beast, how dare you be this old manner? Wash my rot, the monster said. This monk has no clue. Watch my rake. The two went at each other at the foot of the mountain, hitting and charging both determined to win the dust and dirt. They stirred up, blocked out all the light, and frightened every being nearby. Once again the Prince fought the monster, but no one seemed to know who could come out on top.

Just as they were at the height of the battle, Guanyin Bali Sattwa threw down a Lotus from midair to separate the weapons. The monster was shocked by what he saw and asked where did you monks come from? How dare you fool me with this flowery trick? Moocha said. You are one reckless thing of fleshy eyes and mortal body.

I am the disciple of Bodies Atwar of the South Sea. This is a Lotus thrown by my master. How could you not recognize the monster? Asked bodies Atwar of the South Sea. Do you mean one in Bottizatwa who swept away the three toxins and saved lives from the 8 disasters? Moocha said. Who else could she be?

The monster threw away his rake and kowtowed, asking Dear brother where is the Bottizatwa? If it isn't too much trouble, please introduce me to her. Moocha looked up and pointed, saying Who do you think she is? The monster kowtow to her and shouted at the top of his voice. What is Ottawa? Forgive me, forgive me. Gwan.

Yin landed her cloud and came forward to ask. Where did you wild boar turn into a spirit? Where do you old pig wreak havoc? How dare you get in my way, the monster answered. I am no wild boar or O pig. My was Tian Pong Yun Shri or Marshal of the Heavenly Reeds who served at the Heavenly River. Because I got drunk and harassed a lunar maiden, the Jade Emperor sentenced me to 2000 strikes by the hammer before punishing me to the mortal world.

My true spirit was meant to claim another shell to be reborn, and unfortunately I went down the wrong track and ended up in the womb of a soul. That's how I turned up looking like this. I bit the mother pig to death and killed the rest of the litter before occupying this mountain here, eating humans to get by.

I never imagined I would bump into you, Boris Atois. I beg you to save me, Boris Atois asked what is the name of this mountain? The monster answered. It's called Foolin Shan, Mountain of the Blessed Mound. Inside there's a cave called Yunjanton. The Cloudy path cave in The Cave there used to live in Martier, second elder sister by the name of Mao.

She saw that I knew some martial arts and took me as a husband. It's a practice we call pinning at that all backwards where the man takes the woman's name. In less than a year she was dead and left all her possessions for me to enjoy. I've been here for many years without a job to feed myself. I spent my days doing what I was born to do, eat humans.

I hope Body's Artwar could part in my sins. Body's Artwart said. As the ancient saying goes, if you want a future and never do things that have no future, you have already violated the laws of the world above. And now without the change of your evil heart, you are harming lives and continuing to sin. Shouldn't you be punished for both crimes instead? The monster complained.

Future. Future. If I follow your ways, I shall eat nothing but the wind. As the idiom goes, by the government's law, you're beaten to death. By the Buddha's law you're starved to death. Never mind, never mind. I would much rather capture a passerby and have a greasy freaking meal out of them. Who gives a damn about two crimes? 3 crimes, 1000 crimes or 10,000 crimes? What is Atwar said?

A man with good intent will win Heaven's assent. If you are willing to convert to the true fruit, there will naturally be a way to feed yourself. The world has provided the five grains to relieve your hunger, so why spend your days eating humans? The monster heard her words and as if just awakened from a dream bow to what is Atwar saying? I am willing to follow the right way. However, a Sinner against heaven has nowhere to pray to. What is Atwar said.

I am sent by Buddha's edict to find a scripture seeker in the land of the East. You can follow my way and become their disciple. Once you have made the trip to Western heaven, your merit will cancel out your sins. I promise you will be freed from all calamities, the monster began repeating to her. I am wanting to follow you.

I am willing buddies at war then laid her hand on his head and passed on the commandments. She gave him a last name according to what he was, which was Zhu, meaning Pig, and so his name became Zhu. She also gave him a religious name called Ooh Nun. Ooh means Awakening and Nung means Power, and so his name was Chu Nung.

From then on, he accepted his fate and was converted to the truth. He began fasting as well as taking up a vegetarian diet, cutting off from all the five pungent herbs and three undesirable meats, and focused himself solely on waiting for the scripture seeker, Potis, Atwar, and Mooch. I left Wunan and moved on in their cloudy mist. As they were traveling, they saw a Jade dragon calling from the air.

Potis Atwar approached and asked, What dragon are you that you are being tortured here? The dragon answered. I am the son of Arun Dragon, King of the West Sea. Because I set the palace pose on fire, my father filed A complaint to the heavenly court accusing me of disobedience. The Jade Emperor therefore hung me in the air and gave me 300 strikes. I will be executed in no time.

I beg you. But is that what? Please save me. Guanyin heard his words and rushed up to the sudden Gate of Heaven with Mushar, where they were received by the two heavenly scholars, Chiu and Jung. They asked where to? What is that? What answered? This humble cleric would like to have an audience with the Jade Emperor. The two heavenly scholars hurried inside to deliver the message.

Soon the Jade Emperor came out of the hall to greet them. What is that? What paid her respect and said? By Buddha's edict, this humble cleric is heading to the land of the east to find a scripture seeker. On our way, we were met with a culpable dragon hanging in the air. I have come specifically to make a request to pardon his life. Hand him over to this humble cleric and I shall make him serve the scripture seeker with his legs. The Jade Emperor heard us and immediately released a pardon. Heavily generals were sent to free the dragon and hand him over to Bodisattva.

Bodisattva thanked the Jade Emperor and left the young dragon kowtow to thank her for saving his life and vowed to follow her commands. What is Attwa then sent him into a deep Mountain St. When the scripture seeker came, the dragon would turn into a White Horse and achieve merit by heading to the West. The young dragon accepted the orders and hid himself. We will speak no more of that.

What is Attwa? Along with Mucha, the laborer again crossed the mountain and headed for the land of the east. Before long, she suddenly saw countless beams of golden light and streams of auspicious paper. Mucha said Master, The source of the light is the Five Faces Mountain. See that strip of paper rule I left there?

What Isatwa said. It's the heaven, equally great sage who vandalized the Feast of Divine Peaches and wreaked havoc in the heavenly palace that is now imprisoned there, Mucha said. Very true. It is him, master and disciple both climbed up the mountain and saw the strip of paper. On it was the 6th character mantra O Money Be Me Home, also known as O Money but Me Home.

What is that was? Saw it and sighed with pity. She then composed a poem that went I pity the wicked monkey for disobeying the rules. At one bygone year, in arrogance he played hero, the feast of divine Peaches. He so wrongly wrecked the dish, the palace he dared to secretly go, not a rival among the army 100,000 strong.

His might was felt through the heaven of nine folds. Since being trapped here by Buddha, when will he stretch again and have his powers show As master and disciple were talking. Their voices soon disturbed the great sage from the foot of the mountain. He shouted loudly, Who is reciting a poem on the mountain to expose my faults. Bodies that were heard this and came down to check. Below the rocky cliffs, the tulery of soil, the mountain God and the heavenly general sent to guard the great sage, all came to greet her.

They showed her the way to the great sage, and there he was trapped inside a stone box where his mouth could speak but his body could not move. Bodies. Atwad asked you. His name is Sun. Do you recognize me? The great sage opened his fire eyes and golden pupils and answered loudly while nodding. How could I not recognize you? You must be the greatly compassionate savior from suffering.

Guanyan Bodis Atwa from Mount Potolac of the South Sea. Thank you for coming to see me. Thank you. The days feel like he is to me here and not a single acquaintance has come to visit. Where did you come from? What is that? What? Answered by Buddha's edict. I am heading to the land of the East to find a scripture seeker. I happen to pass by and so stay behind to pay you a visit, the great Sage said.

Rule I fooled me and trap me here for over 500 years without even enough room to stretch myself. If you would be so kind, Bodisatois, please save old little son from this ordeal. Bodisatois said you, rogue, have committed the deepest of crimes. Should I set you free, I fear you will again create havoc. That wouldn't be nice, would it?

The great sage said I am regretful for what I did. Would the greatly compassionate 1 show me away? I would much rather cultivate, and that was what we call. When a thought is born from one's heart, it will be known throughout heaven and earth. If good and evil find no rightful outcome, the universe must have a selfish purpose to serve bodies. Atwar was delighted by what she heard. So she said to the great sage.

As the divine Scripture says, when a good word is spoken, approval will come from even the farthest distance. When an evil word is spoken, opposition will form in even the farthest distance. Since you have made-up your mind, just wait till I find some one from the Kingdom of great Tongue in the land of the East to fetch the scriptures.

I will let them come save you. You shall become a disciple of theirs and provide protection according to your religious teachings. By entering the gate of Buddha you will once again called away for the true fruit. How does that sound? The great sage agreed. Over and over again. I am willing to go.

I am willing. What is that twas said now that the virtuous fruit has been born? I shall give you a religious name, the Gray sage said. I already have a name. My name is Sun Wukong, but is that what? Remarked in delight? I have converted two other individuals before you and happen to use the character wool to name them.

Since you are also using wool, the three of you will match up neatly Very well. Very well. You require no further instructions. Anyway, off I go. On one hand, the great Sage had resolved to be converted to Buddhism. On the other hand, Bolisattva had been extra mindful in her search for the divine Monk. She left with Mucha and came all the way eastward. In less than a day she arrived at the great capital city of Chang An.

After withdrawing all the mist and cloud, the pair transformed into two ugly wandering monks. By the time they entered Chang'an it was already dark. As they walked down the street next to a huge market, they saw a temple for the tulery of soil. The two walked straight in and scared the wits out of the tulery and all the ghost soldiers They knew.

She was the bodies Atwa, so they all kowtow to welcome her inside. The two Larry of Soil also hurried around to bring the news to the city Guardian officer of land and the God of every temple in Chang An. And so everyone knew Boris Atwa had arrived as they prostrated themselves to say Boris Atwa, Please forgive these deities for the crime of late reception, Boris Atwa answered.

You shall not leak a word of my arrival. By Buddha's edict, I have come specifically to find a scripture seeker. I will borrow your temple to stay for a few days. Once I have found the true monk, I will leave. And so the deities return to their posts with the tulery of soil temporarily sent away to stay in the temple of the city Guardian.

The master and disciple, in the meantime, hid their true forms. We do not know whom they will find in the end to be the Scripture Seeker. Please wait until the next chapter, Journey to the West.
