Journey to the West 108 Rewards

The travelers flew through the sky over the Tang Empire. Tears of happiness rolled down the Tang Monk’s cheeks. “ I see the emperor’s palace! ” “ I will wait here while you all deliver the True Scriptures, ” said the guard. The Tang Monk and his companions went down to Earth and entered the palace.

The emperor’s eyes lit up. “ My brother! ” He embraced the monk. “ For many years I wondered if I’d ever see you again. Did you get the True Scriptures?” “ Yes, ” said the monk. “ But please forgive me. The journey took much longer than I expected. ” “ There’s no need to apologize, ” said the emperor. Then he noticed the monk’s companions. “ Who are they?”

Wukong stepped forward. “ I am Sun Wukong, the Monkey King. I once defeated Heaven’s entire army. ” “ And I am Zhu Bajie, ” said the pig. “ My name is Sha Wujing, ” said the purple spirit. “ They protected me during the journey, ” the monk explained. “ I couldn’t have reached the Western Paradise without them. ”

The emperor bowed to Wukong and the others. The monkey laughed. “ You don’t need to bow. We were happy to help. Well, Wujing and I were. Bajie complained the entire time. ” The pig snorted. There was a huge feast that night. The emperor asked the monk many questions about the journey. He listened in amazement to the monk’s stories.

“ I will build a magnificent pagoda, ” the emperor declared. “ The True Scriptures will be kept safe inside it. ” He put his hand on the monk’s shoulder. “ You will always be remembered as the brave monk who traveled to the West. Because of you, our people won’t have to suffer anymore. ” After the food was eaten, the emperor asked the monk to read from the scriptures.
