There is a fairy stone on Huaguo Mountain which suddenly exploded one day, and a spirit monkey burst out. He studied under the Bodhi Patriarch and was named Sun Wu Kong. Wu Kong is agile and intelligent, and he successfully practised the art of immortality and the seventy-two changes, but he got into a catastrophe because of drunkenness and was eventually suppressed and confined at the foot of Wuzhi Mountain. Five hundred years later, Wu Kong was ordered by the goddess Guanyin to follow Tang San Zang to the west to learn Buddhist scriptures and be his apprentice. Wu Kong then follows Tang San Zang on the road, and there are many difficulties along the way. He joins forces with Zhu Ba Jie and Sha Wu Jing to defeat demons and monsters and embarks on an arduous journey of learning the scriptures. (Source: TVBAnywhere)
