Journey to the West: The Demons Strike Back (MalaySub)

Journey to the West: The Demons Strike Back | Tang Sanzang dreams of becoming a giant and retrieving Sutra, where his master rewards him a halo in India. He awakens from his dream in an alley in a village of circus performers with his three disciples: Sun Wukong; Zhu Bajie; and Sha Wujing. Tang encourages Wukong to perform for the villagers, who refuses. An Angered Tang calls Wukong a “bad monkey”, which causes him to ransack the village. The terrified villagers present the group with money and food for their travels, but Wukong continues wreaking havoc. That night, Tang whips Wukong for his disobedience.

The next morning, Tang goes to find water for their breakfast congee and comes across a house. Its host, a maiden in a splendid outfit, welcomes them all in for breakfast with her companions. Wukong, however, sees through their disguises as spider demons; he purposely provokes them until she and the others show their true form. During the subsequent battle, the demons come together to form one huge spider, poisoning Wujing who bloats into a fish-like creature. Wukong defeats the spider and Tang attempts to exorcise her, but Wukong kills the spider against Tang’s wishes. Later that night, the enraged Wukong discusses with the other disciples his plans to kill Tang, but the others fear his Buddha Palm powers. Tang overhears this conversation and prays to Buddha to help him, confessing that he actually does not know, or have His powers. Bajie overhears this and tells Wukong, who challenges Tang to a fight. Just as Wukong is about to strike, a blinding ray of light shines from the heavens and he retreats.
